For this week's Savvy/Shabby, we are going to look at some individual plays. For this week's Savvy play, we are going to look at Andre Miller, and how he was able to trick the entire New Orleans Hornets defense. As for this week's Shabby play, we are going to look at Brook Lopez and his inability to recognize the Celtics' tendencies on the offensive end.
Andre Miller's Fake Timeout
After the New Orleans Hornets hit a bucket to stretch their lead over the Blazers to six points, Nate McMillan wanted his team to call a timeout. However, as Miller brings up the basketball, he notices something and takes advantage:
A few bullet points on what makes this play so savvy:
- I think Andre Miller doesn't know he is going to be doing this until he reaches halfcourt. There, he picks his head up and notices the Hornets going to the bench before he calls timeout. Keeping his head up is key, because too often you see a guard run right to the ref and call timeout.
- Miller also takes advantage of the defense not playing up on him. Often when you see a player go to call a timeout, he is being hassled even after the whistle. Here, nobody is doing that to Miller and he is able to fake the timeout and get to the rim because of it.
- Finally, credit to the ref. Instead of calling the timeout prematurely, he waited for Miller to point to him (the signal for a timeout) and when that didn't happen, he didn't award the timeout. There are other officials who would blow that play dead anticipating the timeout call instead of actually waiting to be pointed at.
Brook Lopez's Defensive Error
During the first twenty seconds of his game against the Boston Celtics, Brook Lopez made a defensive play so bad that it forced coach Avery Johnson to call a timeout 19 seconds in just to yell at him.
The Celtics have the ball on the baseline with Ray Allen inbounding it. Once Allen gets the basketball, Rajon Rondo sets a back screen for Paul Pierce. As this happens, Kendrick Perkins pops out to the corner for spacing purposes. Instead of protecting the rim, Lopez follows the offensively challenged Perkins to the corner.
Because Lopez follows Perkins to the corner, he opens up a ton of space in the lane. With Pierce getting Outlaw on his back, it makes the pass and catch really simple.
With Lopez out in the corner, Pierce is able to make the catch and go up for the layup easily. Here is the play in real time:
The mistake that Lopez makes is he doesn't "open up," staying focused on Perkins. What I mean by open up is he should be facing Ray Allen with his hands up wide protecting the paint. Kendrick Perkins can't hit a jump shot, so there is absolutely no reason for Lopez to follow him out there and vacate the lane.
Until next time.

Here is a look at crime reports in the Southland.
News includes Chicago Heights, Oak Forest, Tinley Park and Matteson.
Robbery the reward for ride
A University Park woman was attacked and robbed by two men May 24 after she gave them a ride to the 400 block of West 16th Street, police said.
The 28-year-old woman told police that the men were friends of a friend and she agreed to drive them in her friend's car from University Park to Chicago Heights.
When she got out of the car to let the two men out, one of them lifted up her shirt and tried to rip off her necklace, according to police. They said the men pushed the woman to the ground,held her down and removed $120 from her bra.
The robbers then fled on foot and police were unable to find them.
Kate McCann
SUV stolen, set afire
A sport utility vehicle that was stolen May 27 while left running outside Club Suave was set on fire in a field at Ashland Avenue and Boston Street that same night, police said.
When police arrived at the field, they found the 2000 Ford Expedition fully engulfed in flames and the electrical lines above the car also on fire, according to police. Firefighters extinguished the fire, and a ComEd crew arrived to repair the lines.
Police said the car belonged to a 46-year-old Park Forest man who said he was inside the nightclub, 1603 Western Ave., for only about 15 minutes but left his car running outside.
Kate McCann
Resident charged in home burglary
A city resident was charged with residential burglary May 28 after stealing a laptop computer, a gold watch and $2,000 in change from a Midlothian apartment, police said.
Bruce Debauche, 26, 14730 Central Ave., also was charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia after he was arrested in a convenience store parking lot in the 14700 block of Central Avenue, according to police.
They said the tenant returned to his apartment and discovered that his Apple MacBook, an expensive engraved watch and a five-gallon water jug filled with about $2,000 in change were missing.
A neighbor told police that he saw a man leave the victim's apartment at 11 a.m. and described the man and his pickup truck. The victim said the description matched that of a man he had at the apartment to estimate a painting job and recalled that the man lived at an apartment complex near 147th Street and Central Avenue, police said.
Officers found a Chevrolet Silverado matching the witness' description and registered to Debauche in the parking lot of the apartment complex and arrested Debauche, whom the tenant identified in a photo lineup, according to police. They said none of the stolen items was found in Debauche's apartment.
Bob Rakow
Man beaten outside tavern
A patron of a downtown tavern was attacked and seriously injured May 29 by a group of men who just had been removed from the bar by a bouncer, according to police.
They said the 27-year-old Tinley Park man was making a phone call outside Teehan's, 17329 Oak Park Ave., when the intoxicated men were ordered to leave after getting rowdy and one of them had pulled a knife.
Police said two of the evicted men became aggressive and the victim helped the bouncer maintain control. When the bouncer returned inside, one of the offenders pushed the victim, causing him to fall backward, hit his head on the pavement and black out, according to police.
They said the group began punching and kicking the man and fled when the bouncer and some patrons came to his aid. His injuries included a concussion, a cracked vertebra and a fractured jaw, according to police.
No charges had been filed as of Friday, and police said the incident remains under investigation.
Bob Rakow
Asking to be arrested
An Oak Forest woman was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting police after a June 2 incident in which she sat on a police car while drinking a bottle of tequila and struggled with officers outside the Hampton Inn, 20920 Matteson Ave., police said.
Officers were called to the hotel regarding a fight between two women in the lobby, but the fight had ended by the time they arrived. As they left, officers found Britanny Reed, 26, 15859 LeClaire Ave., sitting on the hood of their squad car, drinking from the bottle and yelling and causing a disturbance, according to police.
They said Reed refused to quiet down, would not give police her name and fought while being placed in the police car. She continued to yell and scream at police while in the lockup at the police station, police said.

AAA: Gas prices down; could still hit average high Triple-A Mid-Atlantic says even though gas prices have come down recently, they're still on track to hit their highest average ever. As of Wednesday, the national average price for a gallon of regular is 3.63, the lowest it's been since August 7th. The auto club attributes the decline to diminishing supply issues and weakening demand, and says prices could drop between 5 and 15 cents in each of the next 3 weeks. Delaware's average price is 3.64, compared to Pennsylvania's 3.76 and South Jersey's 3.57. |

1. Jan 17 2013 – Link Devaluation
Many webmaster saw chunks of their ranking pages fall of the SERPS due to a continuous link devaluation process implemented by Google. It was like a New Year resolution to weed the lawn.
2. Jan 22 2013 – Panda 24
This was the first officially announced update of the year. It affected 1.2% of all search queries. It was different from the link evaluation update of the 17th, Which Google didn't on up.
3. Mar 14 2013 – Panda 25
Matt Cutts suggested at SMX west that #25 would be the last update to panda before it was incorporated into their indexing processes. Though Google didn't confirm the exact date, we got it from MozCast.
4. May 22 2013 – Penguin 2.0
Penguin 2.0 arrived a year and a month after its first version tumbled out. Effects ranged from negligible (on the already affected) to finely targeted. Penguin 2.0 was preceded in the days leading up to it by much hype and speculation.
5. Jun 11 2013 – Payday Loan Update
On June 11, Google announced its intent to clean up the spammy "payday loans" SERPs and their porn cousins. Matt cuts suggested it would roll out over a month or two. At SMX advance, he also explained that it would go after many illegal link schemes.
6. Jun 11 2013 – Panda Dance
Panda was now a rollout update that slowly integrated into the algorithm over a period of 10 days. This was more of a dance as opposed to the expected "everflux." Matt Cutts made this clarification SMX Advanced.
7. Jul 18 2013 – Panda Recovery
We saw a "softening" of the effects of some of panda's earlier penalties, leading to suspicions that this was not the usual by now 10-day rolling update. Google did confirm this update.
8. Jul 19 2013 – Knowledge Graph Expansion
Knowledge Graph display Google SERPs saw a more than 50 percent increase seemingly overnight. More than a quarter of all searches started showing some kind of Bio.
9. Aug 6 2013 – In-depth Articles
We started seeing a new type of results for queries that demanded better detailed answers. 3 pieces of evergreen, long-form content became a feature across search results for information-seeking queries.
10. Aug 20 2013 – Hummingbird
Though announced only on September 26th the "Hummingbird" update was a game-changing transformation of Google's algorithm. Hummingbird focusing on conversational and semantic search to try and deliver correct answers to board meaning questions.
11. Oct 4 2013 – Penguin 2.1
Penguin was revived after a four month hibernation. There were even a few recoveries reported. Forums, Directories, Blogrolls, and others were affected. The impact was as varied as that of 2.0.

My daughter-in-law's mother has been in the hospital for over a week. She is now in an ICU stepdown unit, but remains undiagnosed. It is frightening because she is otherwise a very healthy person and young - at least to me (55). My wonderful DIL has been with her mother for the duration; never leaving the hospital. She is the "go to" person in the family and is bearing a great deal of the weight. I wish to create a goodie basket for her and one for her mother. Any suggestions GW friends? |

I know Whole Foods will create a gift basket for you-you can either select what you want or they'll organize items, then create the basket including wrapping, ribbon etc. My local indie spirits store also does gift baskets. If she is a wine or liquor connisseur that might be nice. The shop I use also puts in gourmet chocolate, nuts, crackers and so on. It's a nice presentation. What a wonderful MIL you are to be so thoughtful! |
- Posted by suburbanjuls (My Page) on Fri, May 3, 13 at 17:21
Another thought is to include goodies that she will be able to eat while staying bedside. Larabars, mixed nuts, apples, and dried fruit along with some coconut water or juice that is shelf stable. And a good book or magazine and notebook and pen for passing the time. Also if she is into cross stitch or knitting that might be something she can use to keep her hands busy. Best wishes for recovered health. |
My son is medically fragile, and I have spent countless hours at hospitals. The number one thing I have enjoyed from friends is food and crappy magazines. The food at hospitals is so horrible, and to be able to eat something nice makes such a difference. Standouts for me have been fresh cut fruit, and easy to store and reheat things. My thoughts with you and your DIL. |
My thoughts are with you during this difficult time and hoping they figure out the problem. Treats are appreciated and most stores will help put together a basket for you. Take care of yourself as well. Sending positive energy your way. |

Books/magazines are good choices, ones with short sections/stories so you don't have to concentrate for long. Mental Floss is a great magazine for light entertainment with interesting info. Whole fruit, snack packs, etc and small gift cards to nearby places for take out are also good. For mom, same, though she may have a restricted diet. Also some cozy slipper socks to wear in bed and/or a soft throw if she tends to get cold. A couple of decks of playing cards and some printed out games or small card game book might be welcome. Things just have to be easy to care for, easy to tuck away, and not valuable enough to be stolen. What a sweet thought! I'm sure anything you do would be very much appreciated. Hope she is feeling better soon. |
What a lovely idea and great way to serve your DIL! I would also suggest including a hand written note of encouragement and support to each woman. I'm sure they are exhausted after this ordeal, and your love will mean a great deal! |

IDK, not sure I'd do food. My mom recently died of cancer, and my dad and I spent countless hours at the hospital - when she was first diagnosed and had her surgery, and again 18 mos. later when we learned there was nothing more to be done for her. Honestly, food was the last thing on my mind, but caring for my kids and home was #1. The people that helped with those things filled me with such love, it brought tears to my eyes. I will probably never forget when I stopped by my parents' home to pick up clothes for her and my dad only to find all of my uncles weeding and mowing. My aunts were inside cleaning and rearranging furniture to make it easier for her to get around, and to make sure things were ready for my brother to come and stay. My MIL had my kids for more time than I can recollect and my cousin helped her with them, picked up my mail and newspaper and fed my cats. To be honest, Dad and I were happy to use a daily (or more) trip to the hospital's cafe or a nearby restaurant as an excuse to get out of there and discuss things in a more private setting. Food at my home would have just rotted away. |
I was very sick and in the hospital for a month, including an ICU stay. At one point, the doctors told my husband I may not make it. Anyhow.... I have a perspective and personal experience. The above poster talking of her family helping out with their time is what I have to reiterate. If you live too far to be of help with your time, then do the basket. If you are near by, then your TIME will be WAY more helpful than the goodies that you bring. Some helpful things: Don't ask, just do. My parents and my husbands' parents came from far and stayed for weeks to help out with all of the above. Even after they left, my entire neighborhood rallied and delivered dinner to our family for months during the hospital stay and after I got home. Many of the families took turns caring for our 2 little kids while I was in the hospital and my husband was at the bedside for hours on end. I will forever be grateful for my friends in the neighborhood. |

Thank you everyone for your kind words and wonderful ideas. The hospital is about 2.5 hours from us and 4 hours from my son and DIL. They do not have children so there is not that level of stress. Janin62 - I am sorry to read of your son's medical issues. You will be in my thoughts. Controlfreakec - My heart goes out to you for the loss of your mom. ***HUGS*** Kaismom - Sorry to read about your illness. This had to be very frightening for you and your family. I hope you are healthy and will keep you in my thoughts. This is why I love GW - especially the Kitchen Forum. A person asks for help and everyone is willing to provide ideas, best practices, etc. Thank you all. |

Hi everyone,
My mother last year gave me a pot with Malabar Spinach growing it. The vines came back on their own for several years. I transplanted the spinach into a garden box where it grew crazy. The stuff died over the winter and we had a really good freeze this year. I haven't seen it come back and I was wondering if it's too soon and it will come back or did the freeze manage to kill it off? Would be sad if it killed it off since my mom had the spinach growing nearly wild at her house. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Ok just some more information .... I suspect they are gone but just to get some more opinions/experiences. I went out to the garden box which they were growing and looked at the roots. A few of the roots were mushy (gone) but several were solid and white. My mom thinks they came back from the root (I believe) so is there a chance they will come back? LOL my digging around may have also done killed them if the cold didn't. Thanks! |
Inewport, Malabar spinach has seeds and when those seeds fall and sprout, you should get new plants. I would wait till the weather is about 75+ F. They are warm weather plant and I have seen new plants coming up every year from seeds that have fallen all over my bed. I don't think the old vine is alive. You could wait till the weather is warm to see if the vine comes back, if not you will have to pull it out ;( |
Thanks NCA270. I bought some seeds if they don't come back I'll probably plant some. Also my mom told me she can get some more from her friends so I'm in luck! |

The energetic, guitar pop on Batwings Catwings' Woah EP was about nostalgia without depending on nostalgia musically, which is tougher than it sounds. They've now released a video for their excellent song "September" which has a very back-to-school vibe. It opens with a young girl waking up and going through the routine of getting ready, with lingering shots of friendship bracelets and cigar-box pencil cases. And, of course, the most important part: playing with your cat before you take off. Nothing much happens, and it's over pretty quick — but that's kind of how September is when you're going back to school and that's a major reason why the video is so heartwarming. In the words of BWCW drummer Clay Johnson:
It's loosely about the first day of school and actually not going 'we should never move faster than nature' but hanging with a cat named Diego instead. The meaning is up to the eye of the beholder though of course.
Notice the name on the friendship bracelet…
Woah is out now on Higher Life.

A few years ago I bought a very nice Yamaha AW16g multitrack recording unit. I was fed up with going to dark dirty studios in rough parts of town, paying an arm and a leg, being laughed at for my taste in music, always working against the clock and being constantly disappointed by the results.
I have been messing about with home studios for over 20 years, starting with double speed cassette based 4 track recorders which I still have. I did one album on my 16 track home studio and it paid for itself many times over, it was fun, cheap to do and I could pretend to be Phil Spector & get totally obsessed by mixing & editing. I never shot anybody though.
Since then it has been sitting in its box and what I want to do now is have a go at recording people live. I have decent mics, stands a loom and the capability to record 8 tracks at 16 bit 44Khz which sounds very warm and solid.
Ever listening to the Frank Zappa 'You can't do that onstage any more' series of CDs in the 90s I strongly believed that all bands should record every single live performance, even with a little stereo mic in the hall. It could have historic significance and provide an income in the future.
What I want to do is find musicians who are going to be recording at venues in and around London. I can record everything from single artists up to a four piece band, choirs and orchestras. The idea is to do one or two test mixes and give you your multitrack recording as .wav files which you can mix anywhere, or I can mix it if you like. If you don't mind taking part in something that is something of an experiment it could sound really good and if you are playing original work then I would like to hear from you. This is a free service of course.

Jail beating: City says its possible liability tops out at $100K in homeless victim case
Update: Yesterday, we reported about a jury award of $40,000 to Robert Duran, a homeless man beaten bloody at Denver jail -- as well as the prospect that the city might decide against indemnifying the ex-deputy deemed responsible. As we noted, Denver City Attorney Doug Friednash wasn't available immediately after the decision. But he's since reached out to Westword and says that while no decisions have been made yet, the city won't be liable for nearly as much cash as Duran's attorney suggests -- $100,000 at most.
As we've reported, Duran was in custody circa March 2009 when, according to attorney David Lane, Deputy Stephen Koehler aggressively shoved him into the back of an elevator, then reacted to Duran's complaints a short time later by ramming him into a door jamb and stomping on his face.
Koehler was fired the following year after statements he made about the incident didn't match up with video taken at the scene -- footage that Lane credits with convincing the jury to rule in Duran's favor.
Earlier this week, before the jury weighed in, Friednash told the Denver Post that any decision about indemnifying Koehler was premature. Afterward, Lane interpreted that as meaning the city might leave it to the deputy to pick up the tab not only for the aforementioned $40,000, but also legal fees that he estimates at between $150,000-$200,000.Doug Friednash.
But rather than complaining about potentially being stiffed, Lane said he would gladly forgo the money if the city established a policy against paying off for officers convicted of civil-rights violations. His theory: If cops realize they could lose their houses for brutality, most of them might stop committing such acts.
In a statement provided to Westword, Friednash doesn't comment about a policy shift in this regard. Instead, he focuses on the amount of money involved, which he characterizes as considerably less than Lane's estimate.
"Mr. Duran's judgment is against former Deputy Sheriff Steven Koehler, not the City of Denver," Friednash writes. "Mr. Koehler was terminated by the City of Denver, and Denver was dismissed as a defendant in this lawsuit last year.
"Colorado law requires the City to indemnify its officers for any judgment entered against them for torts, but only when those torts are committed within the scope of their employment," he goes on. "In this case, that potential indemnification is limited to $100,000.
"The question of whether the City will provide such indemnification to Mr. Koehler is premature," he reiterates. "Mr. Koehler is represented by outside counsel, not the City Attorney's Office. Certain post-trial motions have to be decided before a judgment is entered and Mr. Koehler still has the right to appeal this decision. The City will not make any decisions regarding indemnification until the appropriate time."

Gear Question
The leafy bug
i looked at it up close and the stitching...
i looked at it up close and the stitching looks kinda cheap and crappy and im still debating on it because of that. any one who has this care to shed some light on this situation?
Wooden Robots
i'm not sure what you mean by crappy, are you wondering if the stitching will come out? or if it is crazy detailed? This is not a Gore-Tex jacket with taped seams, this is more like a steetwear piece. Its not going to fall apart on you and if it does you can always send it back to our warranty center. It is a tight jacket, lightly insulated. I don't think you should worry about the stitching.

Our owner/builder retirement home has taken a long time to finish (actually, I still need to plaster the concrete foundation, install the flagstone front walkway, have the nursery do a couple of 18 ft live-oaks, and ....a few other minor things). The plan here was to end up with a relatively maintenance-free house. All around the house, there is ZERO wood, except for the front mahogany door. The rest is masonry, hardi board, aluminum, etc. This railing/balustrade system that I just finished installing is a non-wood Dixie-Pacific product called Quick-Rail. The side privacy fence is also none-wood. As you can see, the rear of the house looks very different than the front, it's all Hardi products. The garage doors are metal. So far, so good.... BTW the house itself is 1,720 sq ft, but the garage is really big (we designed it for both of us). I also have storage in the attic (a necessary evil).
Follow-Up Postings:
There are many of us on here that would love to have that porch. And the house, all is a wonderful job well done. |

Looking out to sea from the steep walkway down to Couminole Strand on Slea Head, the Dingle Peninsula, Co. Kerry.
The film Ryan's Daughter was filmed in this area and the beach behind me was featured in the gun running scene! Check it out on Youtube. About 2 minutes into the second clip you can see some of the rocks pictured above. The scenes where the IRA and locals run across rocks with waves crashing on rocks in the background was definitely not filmed on the same beach however. Even at low tide the beach can be crossed in about 4 steps.

Vocalist Tomi Joutsen comments on the cover artwork, created by Tom Bates (Bleed from Within ,Devil Sold His Soul, www.facebook.com/artoftombates ) :
''The mystic, androgynous person on the cover represents a spiritual guide. This character was sent from another time and place to help the album's protagonist find a new path for his life.''
This very guide was already mentioned by Amorphis lyricist Pekka Kainulainen in his summary of the album concept:
''The protagonist has been dealt a bad hand at birth. He's always felt himself an outsider with strong potential to become marginalized. Through an accident, after a crisis, he finds a connection with his inner powers. A guide is sent to him, from another time and place. He gets a chance to take hold of his own life and change his destiny. From the past of Carelian Finland he finds his own spiritual tribe and the power to turn the course of his doomed life. This is a story of survival.''
The tracklist of "Circle" reads as follows:
1. Shades Of Gray
2. Mission
3. The Wanderer

Republican Party leaders expect to announce a preferred candidate to run for retiring U.S. Rep. Jon Runyan's 3rd Congressional District seat early next month, but arguably the most well-known candidate is saying he intends to run with or without the party's support.
Steven Lonegan, the former mayor of Bogota who recently ran unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate, previously said he would not run without the support of party officials in Burlington and Ocean counties. But Friday, he told the Newark Star-Ledger he was definitely running, even without the endorsement of the two county GOP organizations.

2013 USATT Hall of Fame - Player Inductee
By USATT Historian Tim Boggan
With the coming of 1987, avid USATT National Games and International Paralympian Wheelchair player Terese Terranova had already accumulated in competition maybe a dozen combined Gold and Silver awards, and was primed for more. This year was special—she was one of the 15 U.S. athletes attending the World Wheelchair Championships in Brisbane, Australia. It had been a long, exhausting trip for the Fort Lauderdale-based Terranova via San Francisco, Honolulu, and Cairns, but on arrival in Brisbane her hopes remained high, for she knew she was well-prepared for the matches ahead.
Team Coach/Administrative Assistant Marcy Monasterial, in writing up the Women's play for our national magazine, Table Tennis Topics, begins with the initial Team event:
"Play was divided into two round robins, and our group's opponents were Hong Kong, Germany, and Great Britain. Against Hong Kong we suffered a 3-2 loss. Terese, opening for us, lost to P.Y. Hong (World #2), and, though Jennifer Johnson beat Hong and our pair won the doubles, neither of our women could stop Y.W. Fung (Class 4 Singles winner). However, later, against Germany, we won decisively, 3-0, with Jennifer defeating C. Weniger (Class 3 finalist). We also blitzed Great Britain, 3-0. Then, our U.S. Team got a break: Germany, winner over Great Britain, got the better of Hong Kong, 3-2, to create a three-way tie, and we advanced to the final.
The other round robin winner was the Netherlands, the one country of the 15 entered that sent only female players. We beat them 3-1. Jennifer lost to Monique van der Bosch (World #1), but Terese downed Mariel van der Ploeg, then had a big win over Bosch, and our pair took the doubles. Gold in the Team event for the U.S.
In the Class 4 Singles, Terese lost her first match to Austria's H. Fetz (runner-up in last year's Class 4 European Championship). But then she defeated Switzerland's R. Zaugg (World #3) and P.Y. Wong (World #2) whom she'd lost to in the Teams. So she advanced to the final against Hong Kong's Fong. This time, though, she couldn't avenge her loss in the Teams and was beaten 17 in the third, no thanks to four edge balls called against her ["called" suggests call might not have been correct?]. Silver for Terranova.
In the Women's Doubles, though, Terese and Jennifer overwhelmed every seeded team they faced, including the English team of C.Walton and G. Matthews, the Germans Weniger and Lambasch, and the very tough Hong Kong pair of Fung and Wong. Another Gold for the U.S. pair.
In the Women's Open Singles, Terese reversed her loss to Austria's Fetz, again finished off Switzerland's Ploeg in straight games, and downed Germany's R. Lamsback (Open Singles winner in 1984). That brought Terese to the semi's where she eliminated Germany's M. Bartheidel, 2-0. And then to the final where she completed her dominance of those ranked above her by defeating Netherland's J. Paardekam (who'd prevailed over her now ex-World #1 teammate Bosch). Gold for Terranova—and, most importantly, a special Gold, for this Open Singles win automatically made her the 1987 Women's Wheelchair World Champion!"
Want to know more about Terese? Here's Caron Leff (TTT, Mar., 1987, 23) with a Profile of the new World Champion:
"Since Terese Terranova is quite an incredible human being and an extraordinary athlete, why don't I start from the beginning to show you how she came to be the Champion she is.
She was born May 21, 1947 in North Bergen, N.J. She participated in sports through all her years of elementary and high school. North Valley Regional High School is where she became very competitive in basketball, judo, swimming, track and field, and semi-pro basketball. Terese always considered herself a female jock.
In 1971, while moving from Northvale, NJ to Fort Lauderdale, Fl, fate appeared in the form of a terrible auto accident. Terese was forced into a concrete wall by another car—severing parts of her back in five separate places. Following the accident, she was paralyzed, but alive. Then after some time of recuperation she began her quest of assembling the pieces of her life and becoming the Champion she is today.
Terese is one of those people who thrive and grow on competition. Since her start in competitive sports she has won 64 national titles, including 30 Gold medals in six different sports—her specialty being table tennis, where in Jan., '87 she'd become the Women's Wheelchair World Champion.
How'd she accomplish this? Well, she knew in order to have any chance at all of becoming World Champion she must dedicate herself to that end, body and soul. The training for this world title spanned 18 months for four to six hours each day, six to seven days per week, including separate nautilus training for strength and endurance. Terese also was firm in following a special diet recommended by Dr. Hass, a sports nutrition expert, which many world-renowned athletes (such as Jimmy Connors and Martina Navratilova) had followed while in training.
Special thanks go to her trainer, coach, and close friend Marty Prager for his encouragement and strong faith in her ability. Most great athletes need someone behind the scenes to offer them the inspiration they need to achieve success. Know, though, that Terese, in 1987 a full-time cosmetician at The Beauty Castle in Fort Lauderdale, is also very much her own person. Her show of strength, dedication, and independent spirit is just what you'd expect of a World Champion."
That summer at the U.S. Open in Miami, Terranova won the Women's Over 40 against all stand-up opposition. (In the USTTA Rating System, she'd reach a high of 1820.)
1988 was a pretty good year for Terese too. It had to have been very exciting for her to be on the podium at the Seoul Paralympics, a double Gold medalist by winning both the Teams with Jennifer and the Singles, and so receiving such lifetime-memorable attention. Terese's mentor and intimate friend Prager, a Hall of Famer in his own right, shared the moment, said, "Perhaps the greatest thrill of my table tennis career came as they played the National Anthem and raised the American flag at the Medal ceremony with Terese at the #1 spot on the awards podium."
Terranova would continue winning wheelchair medals on a somewhat lesser scale for another 10 years, but more and more she and Prager would form a partnership coaching alliance—with Terese specializing in tournament tactics, for as Marty said, "She can read a match as well as anyone." They were especially interested in working with kids—and did so…in successive clubs at Legion Park and the Laurel Gardens Apartment Complex in Coral Springs (where they coached the Activities Director's son, Casey McLeod, to be the U.S. Open Under 10 Champ, and where by the mid-'90's, they'd produced a cluster of Junior Olympic, U.S. Open, and U.S. Closed winners, among them T.J. Beebe, Josh Bernstein, Randy Cohen, Anthony Torino, and, most enduringly, Keith Alban who would graduate, as it were, to be a member of the U.S. Men's Team.)
Though their Laurel Gardens club closed, Terese and Marty could be found coaching—they had to be coaching, this "old man and the gimp" as they laughingly called themselves—at a fitness club. Turns out the father of one of their students was the principal of the Chinese Cultural School in Coral Springs. He invited them to come to the school and encouraged them to see if a table tennis program there was possible. Much work was necessary. At the moment, they had two old tables that were put up once a week, and only a few adults and youngsters who played. But a year and a half later, they "had a constantly growing group of some 35 kids, ages 6 to 17."
An ever-improving situation with the Coral Springs Chinese Cultural Association had enabled Terese and Marty, "what with summer camps and clinics…to expand a two-table, once-a-week play into a six-table, six times a week active program." And in the new-millennium years that followed, under their guidance a new generation of Junior Olympic medal winners flourished.
"We know the kids, the parents, have to sacrifice," says Terese, "and we want always to be there to give them encouragement. We're pretty strict with the kids, we demand a lot. But though we try to keep them focused, we know we have to keep it all fun too."
Stay focused; have fun—that's how Terese herself advanced to where she's being honored tonight. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to our Hall, Terese Terranova.
Marty Prager and Terese Terranova

This cartridge is in our full-time fax machine that we also use for printing large mailings (3000 piece, 2 pgs each) about once a month. It has lasted us a good 3 months with this kind of work load! It is long lasting and has a good quality ink that doesn't flake off on Linen paper (a problem we've run into with non-brand-name catridges). If you're looking for professionalism and quality, I would highly recommend this product!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

TODAY'S FOCUS SUWANEE, Ga., July 15, 2011---Will it be the oversized sun at which people are snapping photos with heads peeking through the hollow middle? Could it be the totem pole made of car bumpers, which some think is a subliminal safe driving message? Perhaps it will be the free-spirited lady whose open arms many have imitated. Suwanee residents and visitors now may vote for their favorite art piece among these or one of a dozen other sculptures that comprise the inaugural Suwanee SculpTour. The sculpture with the most votes at the end of the exhibit in March will be deemed the "People's Choice" and purchased for permanent display. Suwanee's Economic and Community Development Director Denise Brinson says that "People are talking about which ones they like and which they don't. The Public Arts Commission is going to buy one of these sculptures for the City's permanent art collection so we really encourage people to vote for their favorite." Residents and others may vote for their favorite sculpture in a variety of ways:
A printed guide/map of the exhibit is available at City Hall as well as in the box on Charleston Market Street and at Ippolito's Italian Restaurant. Suwanee resident Chris Dolgetta sent an email to the City of Suwanee in June, stating: "I absolutely LOVE seeing all the pieces! I didn't realize what a nice effect the sculptures give - it's a beautiful added dimension to our already amazing Town Center." City officials are encouraged to note that the SculpTour pieces are indeed getting noticed, provoking reactions, and drawing attention to the Suwanee community. "It's really cool to see people of all ages going up to the sculptures, studying them, imitating them, and having their picture taken with the art," says Brinson. "Through programs like SculpTour, what we're building is Suwanee's unique tourism draw. Combined with our interactive fountain, community garden, greenway, and Town Center, Suwanee is really becoming a destination, offering fun, educational, outdoorsy, and cultural amenities. "We've got enough great things going on now that Suwanee makes not just a great place to live or to come for special events but also a great weekend getaway for people in the region." No City tax funds were expended to bring the 2011 Suwanee SculpTour to the community. The exhibit is funded by generous private sponsors, including Georgia Natural Gas, Law Offices of Richard Yoon, and Peoples Bank and Trust. The 15 art pieces, created by a dozen artists, in the Suwanee SculpTour include:
2011 -- Seeing a SUV up head about to pull out of a diagonal space on
South Peachtree Street in Norcross, I halted, and waited for the vehicle
to back up. I was a little south of the Station Café, just north
of the entrance to its parking lot.
Sitting in my car quietly, I felt a jolt. I turned to my right, and saw that another vehicle, parked diagonally, had backed into the right rear of my vehicle. It was a blue sedan, with a female driver. She immediately pulled forward in her parking space, no longer in contact. In the meantime, the SUV backing out of the parking space in front of me had vacated the space, so I pulled in. The jolt was not a major one, but as I got out of the car, running through my mind was what information I needed to get from the lady who had backed into my car. As I exited the car, turned left and started toward the street, her car by then had easily backed out of the space. As I was about to confront her, she rolled south on South Peachtree Street, never giving me the mind. Realizing that she was leaving the scene, I tried to focus on her car license plate, but could not. It appeared that she did not halt at the stop sign at Holcomb Bridge Road, and easily sped away from the area. A guy who had pulled into the lady's empty spot was exiting his vehicle. "Did you happen to see the tag number of that car?" I asked. "No. I realized she had hit you," he said, "But I did not get it." The damage was not so much, though the heavy plastic bumper's right rear panel had a dent in it. There was considerable scraping of a portion of this section, obviously hit by a blue car. The panel was separated perhaps a half inch from the one above it. The damage was not extensive, though it marred the year-old car. Talking to the insurance people, they suggested that since the driver had left the scene, and we had no way of knowing who she was, I needed to file an accident report. The insurance firm would then process the claim as an "Uninsured motorist" causing the damage. That, I learned, meant that my deductible under this effort was $250, instead of $1,000. "A claims agent will call you tomorrow," I was told. "And then an adjuster will inspect the damage." In reality, it was no big deal, though the lady by leaving the scene put herself in much more jeopardy by leaving the scene, except that we'll never know who she is. What this tells me, more than anything else, is that no matter how safely you may drive, that is only one part of the risk you take every time you go out onto the highway. For you can control your own driving far better than you can control the next person. The "other party" is far more important than you are when driving, assuming you are not texting, drinking, or otherwise acting foolishly. In my case, I wasn't even moving. So watch out for your fellow drivers ..those ahead, behind, besides ..and to the right rear of you.

For the past 28 years, The Salvation Army has been recipients of the food collected through the 11Alive Holiday Can-A-thon. The goods collected from this effort help us stock our food pantries and provide food to families all over the Metro Atlanta area. Our food pantries are in high demand as the need continues to increase and we struggle to keep food on the shelves. This will be the 29th year and we are now sending packets to churches and firms wanting to participate. The date is December 2 and the locations for drop-offs are still being finalized. 11Alive reports on this event all day long and even tracks the number of cans on their website. This is also an exciting volunteer event and we could use as many hands as possible. Thank you for serving alongside us as we continue in "Doing The Most Good!" Learned who St. Simons Island park was named for in Forum Editor, the Forum: That was an interesting story on Neptune Small from the Georgia Encyclopedia. I remember reading about him in Burnette Vanstory's book, Georgia's Land of the Golden Isles. In the book, page 151, second paragraph, there is a mention of Neptune and Cuyler ("Tip") on the battle field, both homesick for their peaceful land. Neptune looks at the moon and says, "High water on the bar, Marse Tip!" What a great man! And, until I read from Georgia Encyclopedia, I didn't know that Neptune Park on St. Simons Island was named for him. Thank you for bringing this out!

The legislation was advocated by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta and Safe Kids Georgia. James Fortenberry, M.D. Pediatrician-in-Chief, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, points out that "Within the last four years, 95 percent of the patients we saw for injuries resulting from a motor vehicle crash between the ages of six and eight were improperly restrained. This new law closes the gap between federal recommendations and state laws that protect children who fall in this age range. The medical community is hopeful that it will ensure a decrease in the number of children we see due to this type of incident." In 2008, a total of 14,154 children ages six to eight years in Georgia were involved in motor vehicle crashes. Of those children, 1,755 were injured and 10 were killed. Only 12 percent of these children were reported to be using a supplemental restraint, such as a child safety seat or a booster seat, in addition to the adult seat belt. In the three-year period from 2005 to 2007, hospitalization charges for 248 children who were hospitalized due to motor vehicle traffic related injuries were about $7 million. An additional $5 million in charges was for the 5,111 emergency room visits for the same period. The following outlines the parameters of the law applicable to six and seven year olds: Children under age eight must be properly secured in an approved car seat or booster seat while riding in cars, Vans, SUVs and Pickup Trucks; however, exemptions include taxicabs and public transit vehicles. The car seat and/or booster seat must:
When installing car seats, individuals should consider using the vehicle lap belt to install car seats for younger children, leaving lap and shoulder belts for children needing booster seats or for others riding in the car. The following exemptions apply:
These exemptions were part of existing law and are not new requirements of Senate Bill 88.
Alexander Brook, a leader among New York City's mainstream figurative painters during the 1930s, painted numerous scenes based on his observations in Savannah. Trained in the American realist tradition of painting, Brook's landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes are largely devoid of overt or hidden social meaning and are characterized by subdued colors and strong, weighty shapes. Alexander Brook was born in Brooklyn, N.Y., on July 14, 1898. He was the youngest child and only son of Russian immigrants. At the age of 12, Brook contracted polio and was bedridden for almost one year. His formal education in public school essentially ended with his illness, and Brook became interested in painting. He directed his own education by using the public library, visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art each week, and enrolling at the Art Students League in 1915. After marriage to artist Peggy Bacon in 1920, the couple left for Great Britain. From 1923 to 1924 Brook supplemented his income by writing articles for the journal The Arts. During those years he came to the attention of Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, who had established the Whitney Studio Club in order to promote and exhibit the work of emerging artists. In 1923 Brook organized the first exhibition at the club's expanded facility. The club evolved into the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1931. During this period Brook painted portraits, genre scenes, and a widely exhibited series of canvases depicting women. A Guggenheim Fellowship in 1931 enabled the Brook family to travel to Spain, Italy, Germany, Austria, and France, and his work continued to garner awards. In addition, Brook taught at the Art Students League from 1933 until 1936. Around 1938 Brook moved to Savannah, establishing residence in a studio at Factor's Walk, a former cotton warehouse along the Savannah River. His visits included trips to the Yamacraw district, one of the city's oldest black neighborhoods. One of the paintings, Georgia Jungle, housed at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, Pa., was awarded first prize in 1939 at the Carnegie International exhibition. During World War II (1941-45), Brook served as an army correspondent in Panama, providing sketches for the military. When the army released him, Life magazine commissioned him to continue his war effort as an illustrator and, later, to produce a series of portraits of Hollywood actresses. In 1944 Brook returned to Savannah as a resident. During this time, Brook exhibited, wrote articles for journals, and produced two original covers for the Saturday Evening Post. He left Savannah in 1948 and purchased a home at Sag Harbor. N.Y., where he and his third wife lived for the rest of their lives. After a 1952 solo exhibition at Knoedler Galleries in New York, Brook withdrew from active participation in the art world. He gave up painting around 1966. He died on February 26, 1980. Brook's work is found in numerous museum collections, including the Telfair Museum of Art in Savannah and the Morris Museum of Art in Augusta; the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Butler Institute of American Art in Ohio; the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.; and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City.

Welcome to RocKaRan SiberKats. We are a small hobby breeder located in Quakertown, Pennsylvania . If you've been looking for a lifetime companion, then look no more! The Siberian cat has an incredible loving and gentle disposition. They have a medium to long coat on a rounded body, a gorgeous neck ruff, and long flowing fur on their tails, giving a very bushy appearance. Their fur is soft like silk when they are kittens and a slightly rougher texture as they mature. A weekly brushing is usually all that is needed to keep their coats in great shape. The Siberian is very muscular with a large bone structure. They are slow to mature and get along great with other pets and children. They are a larger breed of cat and come in many colors and patterns. Kat's passion is for the Traditional colored Tabbies from the Foundation Lines of Siberian cats. She spends many hours researching bloodlines, looking at health history to try and ensure that the health and well being of this magnificent breed is preserved. The Siberian is one of the 3 breeds of "forest" cats and is also one of the oldest "natural" breeds of cats. They have been around for over a thousand years in their native Russia. In 1990 the first Siberian cat made the crossing over the Atlantic Ocean to the United States. The personalities of the Siberian are more dog-like than feline. They communicate in a variety of ways, from their expressive eyes, head butting, to their wonderful chirping and trills, and they love to be spoken to! They love human interaction, will develop a strong loyal bond to you, come when called and greet you at the door. They are highly intelligent and train easily. With their easy adaptability, gentle nature, intelligence, dog like loyalty, and the fact that they are hypo- allergenic to the majority of pet sensitive people, it's no wonder that the Siberian makes the best pet companion in any household. |
Enjoy visiting our website and please feel free to ask questions about our wonderful Siberians. Kat and Randy |
This site is dedicated to Lisa, of Dollinska Ragdolls, our mentor and friend. Your support and encouragement has made our dreams come true. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! |
the beautiful artwork on this website has been created by our friend and sister of the heart - Gaby. she is truly talented and has many of her creations on her own website. we love you gaby! |

Oh Mary, I wish you would have posted sooner, I would have set the DVR to record it. I didn't see your post until I got home this afternoon, and it was already over. Maybe someone else was able to catch it, and can let us know about how it was. Bonnie |
I checked the listings up here and Discover doesn't have that show (or anything else much, that's worthwhile). I noticed that in Canada, World's Greenest Homes is on HGTV, so I checked that, too. Not today, maybe not any day . . . I would have enjoyed seeing your home, Mary. I'm sorry I could not. Your story about not watching TV made me smile. I was on live television a few times and didn't expect it so told no one to record. I was interviewed back in the Spring for a PSA-type documentary. It was scheduled and I missed it. I have been told repeatedly that it reran and someone else saw it. After nearly 6 months, haven't caught it yet. digitSteve |

It does reshow several times I guess.Its on the green planet discovery channel.I think its back on the 21st and 22nd.. Thats my fault for not getting it on so people could plan on it.My world did a flip when I lost my 22 yr old son last month so I have been real lax at posting.This was one of his favorite things to do showing off the house and gardens. Steve, LOl, I feel better now.When they contacted us they all got a good laugh at the fact we had no idea what the show was.They are supposed to send us a dvd of it.We did not see it last night either but got alot of calls from friends and family that did watch.Alot of people are suprised when they do come in and realize there is no tv, its in the garage unplugged, the kids run a movie through it now and then when they visit.James and I have not watched it for 5 years. Mary |
I am very sorry, Mary. And, I sure hope I made you laugh. Steve |

After weeks of virtually nothing happening, the Bryan Colangelo saga and ensuing search for a possible replacement has really ramped up this long weekend. With today being the deadline for Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment to make a decision on Colangelo, we seem to be reaching a climax…
The MLSE had been negotiating with Raptors president Bryan Colangelo over weekend on a return in a "significant" capacity, sources tell Y!
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) May 20, 2013
The MLSE remains in full pursuit of Denver GM Masai Ujiri to assume full control of Raptors, sources tell Y!
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) May 20, 2013
Colangelo's finalizing agreement to move over to business side, leaving basketball ops. Ownership preparing major financial offer for Ujiri.
— Adrian Wojnarowski (@WojYahooNBA) May 20, 2013
(My favourite part of this is Woj referring to MLSE as "The" MLSE like The Iron Sheik would)
The obvious questions we all have would revolve around just what exactly Colangelo's new "significant" business role within the organization would be and what kind of terms he would be under. Is Leiweke looking to sign Colangelo to an extension to put him on the corporate side, or is this merely an example of MLSE just finding a job that Colangelo can fill on the option year and final year of his contract before he eventually moves on?
In addition, even if Colangelo were to be offered a high paying job on the business side of the Raptors, would that really satisfy him? No matter what you think of B.C., he's a super competitive guy who enjoys putting his stamp on basketball teams, and whether it's Ujiri or someone else who comes in to replace him as General Manager in Toronto, note that Wojnarowski mentions that person having "full control."
On to Ujiri. We know from previous Wojnarowski reports that his contract in Denver expires this summer and that he's currently one of the lower paid GM's in the NBA. But just how major would that "major financial offer" from the Raptors have to be to pry him away from a young Nuggets team that he has quickly built into a quasi-contender out West? The Raps have some nice young pieces and building blocks and they can offer the global metropolis of Toronto (no offence, Denver), but Ujiri would be taking a significant step back in terms of how immediately competitive his team is.
And while many assume that MLSE can make a financial offer that would blow any executive away, keep in mind that Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke, who is a big supporter of Ujiri, is worth an estimated $5 billion as one of the 100 richest people in the States (according to Forbes). Can MLSE make Ujiri a mind blowing offer? Of course, and they probably will. But just don't assume that Kroenke won't be right there to make an incredibly lucrative offer of his own.
Lastly, there are still questions to be answered about the status of Ed Stefanski, who has one year left on his contract, Dwane Casey, who also has one year remaining on his deal, and the rest of the coaching staff, who are all on contracts reportedly set to expire.
We should finally begin to have those questions answered sooner rather than later, and we'll no doubt have more questions to ask as this process moves on. For now, the gist of it is that the Raptors are trying to replace Bryan Colangelo with Masai Ujiri, and that's quite alright with me.
UPDATE: Michael Grange reports that Colangelo will be officially relieved of his duties on Tuesday morning (though he also confirms reports that Bryan will still likely have a job with MLSE) and that the Raptors still haven't been given permission to talk to Ujiri.
