Ballin: I suppose the Ballinest Baller of the evening was the Cavaliers' Nick Gilbert, who is neither a player nor a grownup, but still brought his particularly swaggy brand of good luck to the draft lottery and won the whole thing again. Perhaps most amazing, however, is that Lil' Nicky apparently hasn't aged since his first appearance at the lottery in 2K11. Stay youthful, my friend. (And lucky.)
Not so much: Zach Randolph ended up with a pretty solid line in the Grizzlies' overtime loss — 15 points, 18 rebounds, three assists, a steal and two blocks — but he also shot 6-18 from the field, missed five of his eight free throw attempts and turned the ball over four times. That looks pretty bad in and of itself, but it was even worse watching Zach be unable to shoot over the taller Spurs, then trying to meekly pump-fake multiple defenders who weren't jumping. Not good.
Charles Smith: Here's what the whole first half was like for the Memphis Grizzlies.
Yep, that's a lot of missed layups on a single possession. No bueno. But at least it was more than one guy, otherwise all those misses would earn someone a bigger Wikipedia entry for that sequence than the entirety of their career.
Baguette: You might look at Tony Parky's 15 points on 6-20 and wave your hand at your face while saying "Lordy, no" like an elderly Southern woman, but then you keep scanning and see that T-Bag handed out a career-high 18 assists. And then you check his Basketball-Reference page and see that he's played 164 playoff games and realize that's pretty baldwin. (Here's his sexiest one from last night, by the way.)
"Jump" ball: There's a reason Jeff Van Gundy predicted a Zach Randolph-Matt Bonner tip would be "the lowest jump ball in the history of the NBA."
Believe it or not, you can actually see air underneath both of these guys' feet. Doesn't change the fact that they both still couldn't jump high enough to touch the ball at its apex. So good.
Engraving: Tim Duncan was only credited with four blocks last night, despite getting a fingy tip on what appeared to be any shot taken near him, but that was still enough to give him exactly 500 career postseason blocks. He's the first player in league history to do that, though it's worth remembering that Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played all or some of their careers before the 1973-74 season when blocks became an official league stat.
Quinge: Hey, Boris Diaw — there's a Quincy Pondexter dunk in your face.
Seven points, nine rebounds, an assist, a steal and no turnovers in 37 minutes for Q-Pon, who might be hours away from stealing Tayshaun Prince's starting job since the Grizzlies probably realize they need to be able to score points to win.
Lil Boozy: While we're talking about backup Grizzlies perimeter players, let's shoutout Jerryd Bayless' 18 points (7-18 shooting), three rebounds, three assists, a steal, a block and just one turnover. Good job, man. But let's also anti-shoutout the terrible, terrible brick he threw up on Memphis' last real possession. Lionel Hollins really hated it and so did I.
Other things: Tony Allen flopped to get this game to overtime. Let's remember that the next time the Grizzlies say "We don't bluff," as this is a literal bluff … Hands down the best draft lottery reaction of the night … The complete history of streetball sneakers … Impressive shot that didn't count, Marc Gasol … Here's how the draft lottery actually went down … Vinny Del Negro is out as Clippers coach, to the surprise of probably not even Vinny Del Negro

The Dallas coaching staff will have a new look and approach in 2013. But will it be enough to make the playoffs? Max Luckan
After finishing the 2012 regular season with a record of 8-8 and missing the playoffs, the Dallas Cowboys were once again forced to face the question of whether or not their window to win a championship was closing, or was already closed.
Coming into this season, however, the Cowboys don't feel like their window is closing at all, despite playing in a very tough NFC conference. In fact, the Cowboys made some drastic changes to their coaching staff this offseason, which they hope will give the organization added consistency and effectiveness, something that the team has lacked in recent years.
But the team certainly has not lacked talent on the field. The Cowboys locked up Tony Romo to a long-term deal in the offseason, which was smart because Romo is, at this point in his career, undoubtedly a franchise quarterback. The defense is also extremely talented, with a good mix of veterans such as DeMarcus Ware and young talent such as cornerback Morris Claiborne and linebacker Sean Lee.
So what exactly did the Cowboys do to improve? They addressed what they thought was the problem – the coaching staff.
ICONHead coach Jason Garrett has gone 21-19 since taking over for Wade Phillips in 2010.
The biggest move owner Jerry Jones made was firing Rob Ryan and hiring mastermind defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin in the offseason. It was obvious at times last season that Ryan's schemes were too complex and plays weren't executed well. Jones and his son, Stephen Jones, recognized this and went after Kiffin, whose Tampa 2 defense really emphasizes the fundamentals. In essence, the Tampa 2 is an alteration of a standard Cover-2 scheme, in which the middle linebacker frequently must drop into coverage. The system is quite simple compared to other defensive blueprints, which should benefit the Cowboys. In addition to the simplicity of Kiffin's defense, the argument could be made that the players the Cowboys have on defense are better suited for the new scheme.
Kiffin's defense places a premium on speed at every position. Ware, for instance, is destined to excel because the idea in the new defense is to make sure the Pro Bowl sack artist is free to rush the passer as much as possible by utilizing his quickness to the maximum. And middle linebacker Sean Lee ideally fits the system, as he has the ability to cover short routes from the weak-side linebacker position, or drop into deep coverage from the middle linebacker position.
In making this change, the Cowboys are hoping to more effectively utilize the talent they have at multiple positions on the defensive side of the ball, which in turn, should lead to more turnovers. That's exactly what Kiffin and head coach Jason Garrett will be looking for.
As for Garrett, he finally made the ultimate sacrifice as the head coach and relinquished the play-calling duties to offensive coordinator Bill Callahan. Callahan is mostly seen as an offensive line guru, but he appears to be the right choice for the offensive coordinator position and will be much more efficient calling the plays than Garrett was. Garrett, as the head coach, often seemed overwhelmed when he was forced to call the offensive plays while also overseeing the defense and special teams. Through no fault of his own, Garrett was simply unable to do so many things at once and having Callahan call the plays will take a decent chunk of that weight off his shoulders.
Having Callahan calling the plays will help build chemistry with Romo, and the hope is that it will also lead to more consistent play from the newly minted quarterback. Consistency will be key for the entire team, however, and with Garrett now able to devote an equal amount of time to all three facets of the game, it will be much easier for the entire Cowboys squad to develop a certain rhythm on a weekly basis.
But while the Cowboys certainly recognized that the chaos invoked by the coaching staff did cause certain issues and confusion in past seasons, at the end of the day, the coaches will only be able to do so much. And with all the talent the Cowboys have on this year's roster, the players will have to be the ones to step up and get it done on Sundays.

Most recent North American engagements from the past few seasons include Don Ottavio in Don Giovanni at the Dallas Opera; Roméo in Roméo et Juliette at the Utah Symphony & Opera, Nashville Opera and Michigan Opera Theater. Boyd has an extensive repertoire in 20th Century operas including Michigan Opera Theatre's world premiere of Margaret Garner as George Hancock, and New York City Opera's productions of Mother of Us All and Central Park. Composer Lee Hoiby personally chose Mr. Boyd for the role of Romeo in his opera Romeo and Juliet, which he subsequently sang in the semi-staged performances at the Opera America convention in Vancouver, as well as with New York City Opera, Stamford Symphony in Connecticut, and the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center. AARON ST. CLAIR NICHOLSON (Papageno) has established himself as an artist of the first rank, winning praise for his superb vocal gifts and the dramatic integrity he brings to his performances. The San Francisco Chronicle exclaimed "…as Ford, baritone Aaron St. Clair Nicholson gave a virtuosic display of vigorous full-throated singing and all out physical comedy." He made his Metropolitan Opera debut as Schaunard in La Bohème conducted by Placido Domingo, and has since performed there as Papageno in Die Zauberflöte. Throughout his career, Nicholson has garnered much praise for his portrayals as opera's most well-known characters, which include countless performances as Figaro in Il Barbiere di Siviglia, the title role in Don Giovanni and Count Almaviva in Le Nozze di Figaro. As an alumnus of the Glimmerglass Opera's Young Artist Program, Nicholson starred as Lt. Lukash in their productions of The Good Soldier Schweik and as Sonora in La Fanciulla del West. The Abbotsford, British Columbia, native was also a member of San Francisco Opera's Merola Opera Program and Seattle Opera's young artist program. SARI GRUBER (Princess Pamina) has been hailed as "nothing short of sensational" by Opera magazine and "a real creature of the stage" by Opera News. Her voice has been described as "luminous" and "show-stopping great". A prized artist on the international stage, she has garnered praise for her "shining soprano and vibrant presence" (Opera News), her "direct musicality" (New York Times), as well as her "detailed, charming, resourceful and sympathetic" characterizations (Boston Herald). Recent highlights include performances as Leila in The Pearl Fishers with Hawaii Opera Theater; Musetta in La Bohème with Opera Colorado; Susanna in Le nozze di Figaro with Lyric Opera of Kansas City; and the North American premiere of two works for soprano and strings by Baldassarre Galuppi. She has given recitals across the country under the auspices of the Marilyn Horne Foundation. Other credits include a pre-concert recital of Copland's Poems of Emily Dickinson with the New York Philharmonic. SANG-EUN LEE (Queen of the Night) specializes in the high coloratura soprano repertoire with a range of more than three octaves as well as in bel canto style and early music. She recently performed Gilda in Rigoletto with Virginia Opera. With the Korea National Opera, she played the role of Pamina in Die Zauberflöte, Lucia in Lucia di Lammermoor, and Cio-Cio San in Madama Butterfly. She has performed Rosina in Il barbiere di Siviglia with Opera Theater of Lakeland, Olympia in Les contes d'Hoffmann, Madam Goldentrill in The Impressario, and Gilda with International Vocal Arts Institute in Israel, France and Japan. Future engagements include the title role in Lucia di Lammermoor in Hong Kong; and the Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte in Angers Nantes Opera in France. She is a winner in the 2007 Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions for the Eastern Region. Ms. Lee holds a bachelor's degree in music from Seoul National University, and a master's degree in music from Mannes College of Music. In addition to this, she completed a one-year professional studies course at the Manhattan School of Music. JAMES MOELLENHOFF (Sarastro) has established himself as one of the most sought-after basses of our time. Hailed for his sonorous voice and dignified, moving characterization of roles such as Gurnemanz in Parsifal, Zaccaria in Nabucco and Boris Godunov, he is equally well known for his comedic gifts in roles such as Osmin in Die Entführung aus dem Serail and the intensity of his villainous portrayals of Hagen in Götterdämmerung and Sparafucile in Rigoletto. Moellenhoff returned last season to Oper Leipzig where he performed in new productions as Sparafucile in Rigoletto, Fafner in Das Rheingold, Daland in Der fliegende Holländer and Mangiafuoco in Pierangelo Valtinoni's Pinocchio. In 2007 he made his Royal Opera Covent Garden debut as Hagen under Maestro Antonio Pappano. In 2008, Moellenhoff took the stage for the first time at Deutsche Oper in Berlin singing Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte. His engagements have also taken him to Bern, Lucerne, Bremen, Mannheim, and Salzburg. Equally at home on the concert stage, Moellenhoff's varied concert repertoire includes, among others, Haydn's Creation, Händel's Messiah, Rossini's Stabat Mater, Beethoven's 9th, Bach's St. Matthew Passion, and the Requiems of Mozart and Verdi. ARILA SIEGERT (Director) has a background in expressionist dance, known in Germany as Ausdruckstanz. She studied with Gret Palucca at the Palucca School in Dresden. In 1970 she worked as a dancer for the first time under Tom Schilling, artistic director and choreographer at the famous Komische Oper Berlin founded by Walter Felsenstein. By 1979 she had moved up to become soloist at the Staatsoper Dresden (now Semperoper). She started producing her own works very early on and in 1987 she founded her first dance company at the Staatsschauspiel Dresden. In 1998 she directed her first opera, Verdi's Macbeth. She has since directed more than 40 opera productions including Idomeneo, The Marriage of Figaro, Don Giovanni, The Clemency of Titus and The Magic Flute. She also directed Der Freischütz, The Barber of Seville, The Flying Dutchman, Aida, La Traviata, Eugene Onegin, The Makropoulos Affair and most recently Jenůfa. In 1989, Siegert was awarded the Deutscher Kritikerpreis for dance and in 1993 was awarded the Bundesverdienstkreuz (Order of Merit) of the Federal Republic of Germany. In 2010 she became a member of the General Meeting of the Goethe-Institut. Her work is preserved in the archives of the Akademie der Künste, Berlin. DANIEL LIPTON is widely regarded as one of today's most exciting and creative conductors, whose superb performances of opera and the concert repertoire have gained him international acclaim. He was appointed music director and chief conductor of the Anhaltische Philharmonie and general music director of the opera company in Dessau, Germany. He became artistic director of Opera Ontario, Canada, and presented the Canadian premieres of Giordano's Andrea Chénier, Verdi's I Due Foscari and Massenet's Portrait de Manon, along with other major operas. Under Lipton's direction, Opera Ontario has enjoyed not only the highest artistic accolades, but also notable financial success, while greatly expanding the audiences in the process. He has been primarily responsible for the growth of Opera Ontario, making it one of Canada's most important and artistically innovative companies. His annual POPERA™ galas have met with widespread popularity and acclaim. Before his time in Ontario, Lipton was appointed music director and principal conductor of the Orquesta Sinfonica de Colombia in Bogotà and conducted 33 programs a year with them. In Colombia he rebuilt the symphony orchestra and created a national opera company. He was appointed artistic director of the Opera de Colombia and produced 30 operas. Both organizations were raised to the highest international standard of performance because of his unwavering commitment to excellence. Previous posts include music director with Houston Grand Opera and artistic director of the San Antonio Festival. He has also held positions with the Zürich Opera, the Teatro Comunale in Bologna and Florence, American Ballet Theatre and the Denver Symphony Orchestra.

I have lost a pet and I'm providing details about the missing pet.
Animal's Name: Ian
Your Name: Steve Jury
Your Phone Number: (814) 360-3833
Description/Additional Details: MISSING SINCE FRIDAY NIGHT SEPTEMBER 20TH
FROM MY HOUSE AT 1290 BOALSBURG ROAD IN OAK HALL. He used to be an
Indoor/Outdoor cat but that was 9 years ago in a different location just up
the hill from Centre Hills Country Club. He's a big cat (20lbs) and very
strong and fast. He is 10 years old and can be a little skittish . I believe
another cat/animal was agitating him and he then "accidentally" broke open
the screen window and escaped. By the time I ran downstairs he was gone. Best
case scenario would be Ian trapped in a garage or building so I could corral
him into pet carrier. Any information is greatly appreciated! CALL (814)

For the past few years, our area has been inundated by Powdery Leaf Mildew (Mold).
I have been evaluating the benefits of Serenade, Exel LG, and Actinovate on treating this, while minimizing the "negative" impacts on my tomato plants. My initial use of Actinovate last season was quite effective in controlling the Mildew, but at $17.00 per dry ounce, I deemed it quite expensive. To be sure, I really like the benefits of Actinovate as a soil drench, as it has markedly improved the growth of my plants.
This season, Ami tipped me on to a product called Exel LG. I have been using it for a month now, and I am very pleased with the results. In addition to its benefits in controlling Powdery Leaf Mildew, it has additional benefits as a foliar spray. I am still researching these benefits, but my plants are noticeably greener now, than before I started the foliar spraying: One tip; be sure to measure out the precise dilution from the concentrate. On the first application of Exel LG, I "eye-balled" it, and used way too much. Result was burned leaf-tips: One additional tool that I have found is a battery powered hand held sprayer that works quite well: Less than $9.00 on Amazon.com Raybo |

thanks for the tip raybo...especially the hand powered sprayer...i really need that. |

I love Serenade, I bought six pounds of it a couple of years ago...it was worth every penny. T |
This June Gloom is killing me. I have Exel LG ordered and until it gets here I have been using Actinovate with not so great results. How often should you spray the plants with actinovate, and how often when I get my Exel LG |
- Posted by rnewste 8b NorCal (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sun, Jun 14, 09 at 21:36
whip, It all depends on when you caught it. Last year, I was too stupid to figure out what was going on, and ask advice. When I did finally post here, Carolyn identified the probable cause. I then used what I had on hand (Actinovate), but then switched to something more cost effective (Serenade). Our good friend here at GW (Ami over in Germany) tipped me on to Exel LG about a month ago. I ordered it from Lawnrite.com ($19.95 plus a flat $8.00 for shipping). So far, I am quite pleased with it. In fact, I may alternate spraying with Exel LG, then a week later with Serenade just to see what would happen. I am using a more diluted mix ratio so I don't burn the leaves again, and would rather take the time to more frequently spray with a overly diluted mix (the battery operated hand sprayer is a big help!). I am now "spot spraying" when I see visible Mildew, but also am doing a 'Tainer-wide spray once per week, as a preventative measure. Much better results this year as compared to last season. Again, when I have time I want to assess why the Exel LG is "greening up" my plants, as an unexpected bonus. Maybe Ami has some knowledge he can share on this. I also want to look into using Exel LG as a soil drench (like with Actinovate) but the Exel LG Manual is very vague on this (application dose, benefits, etc.). Raybo |

I just wanted to post to ask about the containers you've got your tomatoes growing in. Did you make them like these here? http://www.josho.com/gardening.htm Since my raised beds aren't going to provide enough growing room for me, I've been thinking about constructing a few, but you look to have tons of them, so I thought I'd ask. :) |

spagh, Josho has a number of SWC design options. The EarthTainer that I designed uses different containers, and other self-supporting cage system techniques. You should evaluate all of the alternatives, then select which design works best for you. See link: http://earthtainer.tomatofest.com/ Construction plans and Video are hosted at this site. Raybo |

Raybo you do all the research and we all benefit, the least I could for you is buy you a bottle of wine or a case of beer, lol. I had PM two years ago on a single beefsteak hybrid and have not seen it since (knock on wood). I think the reason I got it was because I was using those sooker hoses above ground and they spray water everywhere if your not careful. I think maybe your plants may be a little more prone to PM because you got those huge plants stuffed inside those small cages and your not getting enough air circulation in those mini jungles (just a thought). I use homemade cages that are 30" in diameter which gives me more room to spread the vines out for better air circulation. That power sprayer looks sick, I have to get me one or two of those. Damon |

Ray, That's so cool! And YOU are THE Ray from the website too? Even cooler, you're just down the way from me (well, just down the freeway, but close enough for gov't work, lol). If I wasn't so darned disenchanted with my garden right now, after all of the tomato issues I've been having, I'd be going to Kmart to pick up some containers and Home Depot for a hacksaw to start building tomorrow! Your containers are inspiring. |
- Posted by rnewste 8b NorCal (email@example.com) on Mon, Jun 15, 09 at 12:52
Damon, I am sure the density of the plant foliage contributes to the Powdery Leaf Mildew, but my neighbor has a CRAP Myrtle tree just 10 ft upwind from me that is White with Mildew, all over the leaves. I have used my power sprayer with Serenade on it, but it is so infested, that the Serenade barely makes a dent in it. Chain saw (at night) is the next action! Spaghetina, If you ever need assistance in building a few EarthTainers, just holler and I'll be glad to give you a hand. Once you have built your first one, they are pretty easy after that. Raybo |

Here's some info on what EXEL is and what makes it work. Phosphorous Acid Fungicides Explained I just ordered some AgriFos and intend on using it as a foliar. As you can see from the above article it's hard to explain the greening up of Ray's tomato plants and more research is needed. What interested me in EXEL is it's organic nature and it would make an excellent partner when teamed up with Actinovate. Using Actinovate as a subsoil fungicide and EXEL as an foliar fungicide that would have a faster knock-down effect on fungus and it's systemic properties. My only concern with EXEL is as a soil drench as I do not know the effect it will have on the microorganisms in the rhizophere, ie mycorrhiza. Further study is required. Ray definitely like you hand held electric sprayer. I bought something similar from the spray-n-grow folks but it had a quart container that was separate from the spray head and connected with a tube. Get yourself some NIMH batteries with a charger rather than using alkaline batteries and it will save you a few bucks in the long run. I would like to thank Ray for his interest in testing some of the products I have mentioned to him. It helps us all to have someone test these products in an unbiased manner and report the results for everybody to see. You are doing us all a great service. Ami |

Hi Ami, Thanks for "nuggetizing" down the article and information!! It may be an optical illusion, but my plants do appear greener this season, as compared to last year. Yes, there can be many factors affecting this for sure, but whatever this combination is, I am a happy camper so far this season. I may experiment on one plant with a diluted soil drench of the Exel LG product, although no scientific way of controlling the experiment, other than visual results. The Excel manual recommends a 1 ounce per gallon of water dilution. Do you think this would be OK as a soil drench ratio? Raybo |
- Posted by miesenbacher 7 (My Page) on Tue, Jun 16, 09 at 0:37
Ray, since were talking about a closed system, I would halve it. Use 1 tablespoon versus 2 per gallon and go from there. I'm sending you a package and will PM you concerning the details. Ami |
- Posted by dancinglemons 7+ (My Page) on Wed, May 5, 10 at 2:05
Ray, Would you give an update on the Exel LG? I used Serenade in 2009 and have ordered more for 2010 but would like to know what conclusion you came to w/regard to Exel LG at end of 2009 growing season. Thanks, |

A Celebration of All Things Cultural, Artistic, and Entertaining in Madison
Apr 1, 2011
SpotlightNew Views
Have you ever listened to a language that you don't speak? When you're unencumbered by the meaning of the words, you're free to revel in how beautiful they sound.
I had a similar experience visiting Satellites See Wisconsin, the latest exhibition at the Dane County Regional Airport's art court. Organized by the Space Science and Engineering Center and Tandem Press, the exhibit offers images of Wisconsin taken by weather satellites that fly hundreds of miles above the earth.
Visitors see the Door Peninsula dotted and lined with fluorescent hues, wispy white cloud formations and airplane contrails criss-crossing over a lake and storms working their way across the land. They take in a detail of Wisconsin in the summer, so green and textured the state looks like a leaf, and an aerial view that resembles the patterning of a stone, plus images of lakes, seasons, flooding, algae blooms, cranberry bogs, tornado tracks and more. The images are beautiful—even without knowledge about what they represent.
Such diverse images are possible thanks to the work of satellites and the technology behind them, much of which was developed at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
"Twenty-four hours a day and seven days a week they observe and take measurements of Earth's atmosphere and surface. For more than fifty years weather satellites have provided never before seen snapshots and unprecedented details about Earth and its atmosphere," a brochure for the exhibition states.
Paula Panczenko, executive director of Tandem Press, says the stunning visuals draw visitors in to learn about the science of satellites. Steve Ackerman, director of the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies at UW, agrees that the artistic aspect of the images is a natural starting point.
"As scientists, we generate very pretty pictures," he says. "You get so used to it. Then someone sees it and points out that it's beautiful."
Indeed, visitors can wander the exhibition for a purely aesthetic experience or dig into details about developments at the Space Science & Engineering Center, in satellite technologies and how scientists use the data the satellites collect. QR codes throughout exhibition allow visitors to download information to smart phones, and the exhibition also includes a full-scale model of a satellite, a real-time weather display and an interactive booth with views of the earth showing hurricanes, lights and weather.
Ackerman has three goals for those who visit the exhibition: "That they get a feel of the historic role Wisconsin has played, an appreciation for the beauty of the satellite imagery and that they say, 'Oh, cool,' and just enjoy it."
Satellites See Wisconsin is open through September 10. For more information, visit ssec.wisc.edu/airportexhibit/.

Collecting: Nautical Treasures
Get the authentic coastal look
By Elle Decor Staff
We will never get sick of the coastal look. Reminders of the ocean, mementos from the shore, and memories of a sail are all things we want to be surrounded by—and the gift shops know it. Many retailers have tapped into this love of the beach, and now ocean tchotchkes are everywhere! But don't give in to the cheap stuff; this look is classic and has real staying power. Invest in a few key antique nautical pieces. They aren't just for beach houses and Californians; they bring a sense of history and elegance to any style of decorating.
The summer is wrapping up, and after August 11, so are the maritime auctions. This Saturday is the time to place your bid on the ocean treasures up for sale at Kaminski Auctions. Globes, telescopes, ship models, lightship beacons, compasses, lanterns, and other objets d' art are available in a wide range of prices. Kaminski hosts this auction each year, and the popularity is mounting, but the owner, Frank Kaminski, says "there are still bargains to be had for great nautical items."
Kaminski's advice for those starting a collection is: "Buy one great painting." There are a lot of second-tier nautical painters like Samuel Walters, Don Stone, and T. Bailey whose work is appreciating in value but is still reasonable. Take advice from a nautical auctioneer, but don't forget the little sculptural items—like glass buoys and compasses. Or, for a more subtle look, antiques from dismantled luxury liners have incredible stories to tell. Furniture from a captain's quarters or silverware from the ship's dining room—the sense of romance and adventure is embedded within them.

List of Sheriffs opposing SAFE Act growing
ALBANY -- A handful of the state's 62 top county law officials say they won't enforce the state's gun law.
Saratoga County Sheriff Candidate, Jeff Gildersleeve, was the most recent to publicly say he would not enforce the state's gun law known as the SAFE Act. Gildersleeve joins a list of at least five other current sheriff's who feel the same way.
The first to take a stance was Erie County Sheriff Timothy Howard. Since then sheriff's in Schoharie, Orleans, Wyoming, and Genesee Counties have been put on record saying they will not "actively" enforce the SAFE Act.
Thomas Mitchell of the New York State Sheriff's Association says they encourage all members to enforce all laws. There is a difference between actively enforcing laws and only pursuing cases that come across the desk, Mitchell said.
Albany County Sheriff, Craig Apple, says he is opposed to the state's gun law. However, Apple says he will enforce the law because if not it could "open a can of worms".
"You are looking at a situation if you told your men not to enforce the law and they make an arrest and bring that person in and the supervisor says 'No you got to let him go' you got a false arrest situation," said Apple.
"You got civil liability. It is a lot of exposure out there. The laws are there for a reason I just feel we should follow them."
Apple says there has been no such cases of people breaking the state's new law since it was adopted in January.
"I understand there are other people that disagree with it but it's a law and as long as it is a law I feel it is my duty to enforce it," Apple added.

Christ, I barely even know who you are.
from Breaking Bad (Ft. Moira Walley-Beckett, Rian Johnson & Vince Gilligan) – Ozymandias on Genius
This phrase, or similar variations, has been repeated multiple times throughout the series, since the show deals so much with double lives and having to sort through lies to find the truth. The first time we hear it is from Walt in his infamous "I Am The One Who Knocks" speech, when he asks Skyler "Who are you talking to right now? Who is it you think you see?".
This is eerily echoed in another one of BB's most iconic scenes, the Hank/Walt garage showdown, when Hank says to Walt "I don't know who you are. I don't even know who I'm talking to".

Typically, a hornbook was made from a piece of parchment or paper pasted onto a wooden board and protected by a leaf of horn from a ram. A hornbook measured about 3 1/2" x 2 1/2." Books were quite expensive at this time, which made them costly to replace. However, the durable hornbook could last through many years of young students.
Make Your Own Hornbook
Try making your own hornbook!! It is really very simple and quite fun! All you need is a pair of scissors; a piece of cardboard; crayons, markers, color pencils, or paints; and saran wrap.
• With the scissors, cut the cardboard into the shape of the hornbook that you see here.
• With crayons, markers, color pencils, or paints, decorate one side of your hornbook with any images you want. This will be the front of your hornbook. Be creative.
• Next, decide what you want to put on your hornbook. This will go on the other side. What subjects would you include? You can put anything you want. Follow the Hornbook Activity Content Ideas link on the right for ideas.
• Now, wrap your hornbook with saran wrap to protect it from spills and dirt.

FORT WORTH, Texas, November 22, 2013 — Food. That's one of the first words that comes to mind when we think of Thanksgiving.
We all know turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pies, sweet potatoes and other holiday comfort foods. There is, however, fare that is not found on the average American Thanksgiving table. Some of these foods include sauerkraut, tofu turkey, lasagna, stuffed squash, clam chowder, dressing with oysters or jalapenos, and mincemeat pie.
Mincemeat pie? This pastry originated in England in the 13th century. When the Crusaders came home from the Middle East they brought with them spices and recipes from the region. According to Wikipedia, "The early mince pie was known by several names, including mutton pie, shrid pie and Christmas pie. Typically its ingredients were a mixture of minced meat, suet, a range of fruits, and spices such as cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg."
Mincemeat was a staple on my grandparents' Thanksgiving table, where we went every year when I was growing up. My English-born grandma served the pie along with the pumpkin, pecan and apple.
My grandpa's birthday was at November's end, so the pastry also served as his "birthday pie" since it was his favorite.
Once grown and out in the world, I was surprised to find that it wasn't common fare at most pilgrim-inspired celebrations. Since then I've found that, when asked about it, most Americans will answer, "Mincemeat? What's that?" or "Meat in a pie?!! Ewwww!!"
Those who won't try it don't know what they are missing.
Modern mincemeat (or "mince") pies don't have meat in them. They used to, at a time when there was no refrigeration and food was not wasted. Ever. The word "mince" means to chop into tiny pieces. Medieval cooks added fruits and spices to the minced meat and in this stretched the protein supply and used it in other dishes to make food go farther. When survival was the name of the game you used every bit of food you had and used leftovers as often as they lasted. People then also added whatever they had on hand to a dish. I sincerely doubt there were many picky eaters when starvation wasn't far from your door.
Mincemeat pies first appeared in Roman Catholic England. By the 16th century they were a Christmas staple. The Church taught that cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in the dish represented the three gifts given to the Baby Jesus when the Magi found him in the manger. Bakers also made the top crust in the shape of a star to signify the light that led the Wise Men to Bethlehem.
When Europeans started migrating to North America, mince pie didn't come along with the Puritans and Quakers. Why? These Protestant groups saw minced pie as "Catholic idolatry" and the pastry stayed behind in England. By the Victorian Era, the pies were more mince and less meat. Some homemade versions still have meat, but most commercial mincemeat is without it.
Some mincemeat pie traditions:
~ Mince pie is a favorite of Father Christmas (Santa), so children should leave a plate of pie at the foot of the chimney.
~ Only stir the mincemeat mixture clockwise because stirring it counterclockwise is bad luck for the upcoming year.
~ While eating the first mince pie of the season, it's traditional to make a wish.
~ Always eat mince pies in silence.
~ Eating a mince pie each day of the 12 days of Christmas is good luck for the upcoming year.
So if you were looking to add something different to your feast this year, consider the mincemeat pie. You can find it in a jar, such as Borden's None Such condensed mincemeat in the baking aisle or you can make your own. It is chock full of Autumn fruits and spices and can be served as a tart or tartlets, as they do in Great Britain.
Or you can Americanize it and serve it like my grandma did in an eight- or nine-inch pie.
The recipe below is a conversion for both 1½ quarts and 6 quarts of mincemeat. The video above is of British celebrity chef Dame Delia Smith making 6 quarts of traditional mincemeat, without the meat. The recipe is below.

Remember we do that the various profiles for the different desktop and server configs. What would be nice is to created stripped down versions of the handbook (on the WIKI) where the focus is more highly specialized configuration for the use of the newly installed (gentoo) machine. Also on the gentoo wiki, we can lower the bar, and let those accomplished individuals create something cool, and a developing admin take it over and maintain the document, or extend it to different hardware platforms. Flag customization could easily differ on different platforms. Why, one could even use embedded gentoo with uClib as a basis for a targeted, customized build of Gentoo on the new installation (hardware). (side note, if AMD follows through and starts offering ARM (A15) machines, our current handbook will be ripped at the seams, imho. Some examples for the WIKI: An Apache server: complete with either hardened or SElinux setup, including packages such as perl, python, php (or whatever mix). There, your customized flag settings would be focused and very keenly appreciated for an intermediate level gentoo admin to leverage. Some other intermediate level ideas for the WIKI: Light-weight workstation: with gui for older hardware (not Gnome or KDE) secure/encrypted mail server firewall (with DMZ for servers). transparent bridge. transparent sniffer: with lots of ethernet interfaces set up in stealth mode (taps to other secure ethernet segments for passive monitoring. In these (and many others exist) customization as well as minimization of flag settings would be of keen interest to the wider, intermediate gentoo community. God forbid one of the really sharp (gentoo) hacks share a little magic with us commoners? So keep the handbook the same but start experimenting (via the WIKI) on derivatives that are more targeted and focused on customizations, including but not limited to stringent flag settings Just my thoughts, YMMV.

You know where you're watching the Big Game. You know what you're drinking. But do you know what you're betting on?
The old Super Bowl square game is getting a little square itself, so we recommend a new generation of prop bets to fuel your HarBowl party.
Over/Under: Number of times the Super Bowl is referred to as the Harbaugh Bowl, the Super Baugh, or the HarBowl (2.5)
CBS announcer Jim Nantz isn't much of a punner, but he is a total sentimentalist. Take the over.
How many times will Jack Harbaugh appear on TV?
His parental anguish will be burnt into your TV's pixels. Whatever the number jumps to, take the over.
Will Jay-Z make an appearance during Beyonce's halftime show?
The president's favorite pop culture power couple likes to do things together. We'd bet on guest verses.
Number of Frank Gore TDs against Ravens vs. number of Lionel Messi goals against Valencia
Sure, the scoring in soccer is unpredictable and everything, but are you really going to bet against somebody who can do this?
Will Alicia Keys forget or omit a word of the national anthem?
It won't be as bad as your Uncle Robbie, who puzzles over the meaning of "dog's surly light," but she'll probably fudge something. Take the yes.
Over/Under: Number of times Ray Lewis mentions God (or Lord) in his postgame comments (2.5)
Just because the game's over doesn't mean you have to stop gambling. Ray-Ray has been on a serious Jesus kick lately, so it's probably best if you invest in the higher power.
