Cano takes Derby crown
PHOENIX (AP) — It was Red Sox vs. Yankees in the Home Run Derby final at Chase Park last night in Phoenix.
With his father, Jose, on the mound, Yankee second baseman Robinson Cano (kuh-NOH') set a finals record by crushing 12 home runs right after Boston first baseman Adrian Gonzalez swatted 11. Cano still had four outs remaining when he clinched the title.
Cano finished with 32 total home runs, one more than Gonzalez.
Cano is the third Yankee to win the competition, joining Jason Giambi and Tino Martinez.
The National League quartet of Prince Fielder, Matt Holliday, Rickie Weeks and Matt Kemp combined for just 19. Major League home run leader Jose Bautista was eliminated in the first round after swatting just four round-trippers.
Defending champ David Ortiz was eliminated in the semifinals.
There was almost another accident involving a fan trying to catch a ball during the derby. Keith Carmickle climbed up on a table to reach for one hit by Prince Fielder. He lost his balance, tumbled over the rail and found himself dangling over a pool deck roughly 20 feet below. He was saved by a friend who grabbed his legs and his brother wrapped up his arms.
A fan at a Texas Rangers game died last week while trying to catch a ball thrown into the stands.
Halladay and Weaver starting All-Star pitchers
PHOENIX (AP) — Philadelphia's Roy Halladay will throw the first pitch in the All-Star game. The American League will go with Jered Weaver of the L.A. Angels.
Halladay started the 2009 midsummer classic for Toronto and will be the fourth pitcher to start for both leagues. He's 11-3 with a 2.45 ERA.
Weaver is 11-4 with a 1.86 ERA.
Yankees center fielder Curtis Granderson bats leadoff for the AL, with Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera (ahs-DROO'-buhl kah-BREHR'-uh) and Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez hitting two-three. Major League home run leader Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays bats cleanup and will be followed by Rangers left fielder Josh Hamilton, Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (BEHL'-tray), Red Sox d-h David Ortiz, Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano (kuh-NOH') and Tigers catcher Alex Avila.
The NL batting order has Rickie Weeks in the leadoff spot. The Brewers second baseman will be followed by designated hitter Carlos Beltran of the Mets, Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp and Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder in the cleanup spot. Then it'll be Atlanta catcher Brian McCann, St. Louis right fielder Lance Berkman, Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday, Rockies shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (too-loh-WIHT'-skee) and Reds third baseman Scott Rolen.
Phillies, Red Sox best at the break
UNDATED (AP) - At baseball's All-Star break the Philadelphia Phillies have the game's best record at 57-34. Boston leads the American League with a 55-35 mark.
The Phillies top the NL East by 3½ games over Atlanta. Milwaukee and St. Louis are tied for the Central lead with identical 49-43 records and the defending World Series champion Giants top the NL West by three games over Arizona. San Francisco has a 52-40 record.
Boston leads the American League East by a game over the Yankees. The Red Sox headed into the break on a six-game winning streak.
The AL Central race has Detroit leading Cleveland by just a half game.
Things are also tight in the West with Texas leading the Angels by just a game. The Rangers entered the break on a seven-game winning streak.
Potential jurors cleared
WASHINGTON (AP) - More potential jurors are being qualified for Roger Clemens' perjury trial in Washington while the defense hints the seven-time Cy Young Award winner won't testify.
Lawyer Rusty Hardin on Monday pressed potential jurors not to hold Clemens' silence against him, thus demonstrating the defense team is at least considering not putting the ex-pitcher on the stand. Clemens watched without speaking during three days of intense questioning of 50 potential jurors that qualified 35 people for potential service.
Thirty-six people need to be qualified before government and defense lawyers use their preemptory challenges to narrow the panel to 12 jurors and four alternates.
Clemens is charged with six felonies for telling Congress under oath that he never used performance-enhancing drugs. He stands by the denial, but prosecutors say they can prove that he's lying.
Thousands at funeral of fan who fell
BROWNWOOD, Texas (AP) - Front-office executives from the Texas Rangers and firefighters from across Texas were in Brownwood, Texas, on Monday for the funeral of the 39-year-old father who fell to his death trying to catch a souvenir baseball tossed by his son's favorite player.
Shannon Stone was remembered at a memorial service for his kindness, his love of baseball, his skill as a firefighter and as a loving dad. A funeral procession included more than 50 emergency vehicles.
Stone and his son had gone to a Rangers game Thursday night and were sitting in left field when outfielder Josh Hamilton tossed a foul ball into the stands. Stone fell about 20 feet onto concrete as he caught the ball and he died a short time later.
Playoff decides U.S. Women's Open title
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — So Yeon Ryu (soh yahn yoo) beat fellow South Korean Hee Kyung Seo (soh) in a three-hole playoff to claim the U.S. Women's Open title.
The 21-year-old champion finished the playoff 2-under par to become the fifth golfer from her country to win the Open and fourth in the last seven years.
Ryu was one shot back when she returned to the course early in the morning to complete her darkness-suspended final round. Seo made it to the clubhouse Sunday evening before play was halted. Ryu birdied 18 to force the playoff.
American Cristie Kerr finished third, two shots off the pace.
Pairings for British Open set
SANDWICH, England (AP) - Coming off a record-breaking win at the U.S. Open, Rory McIlroy is paired with Ernie Els and Rickie Fowler for the first two rounds of the British Open.
The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland had a 16-under score last month at Congressional. He's favored to make it two majors in a row at Royal St. George's.
Defending champion Louis Oosthuizen (WUHST'-hy-zehn) of South Africa will play the first two rounds with American star Phil Mickelson and defending PGA champ Martin Kaymer (KY'-mehr).
DA will review police reports on Jones
LAS VEGAS (AP) - The district attorney in Las Vegas says he'll review police reports of NFL football player Adam "Pacman" Jones' weekend arrest before deciding whether to ask a judge to jail Jones for violating a probation stay-out-of-trouble order.
The Clark County District Attorney tells The Associated Press it could be weeks before he decides whether to seek jailing Jones for up to a year.
The 27-year-old Jones plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. He was arrested early Sunday at a Cincinnati bar on charges of resisting arrest and misdemeanor disorderly conduct while intoxicated.
Jones's lawyer in Las Vegas says he thinks charges against his client will be dropped.
Jones was sentenced to one year of probation in February for his role in a 2007 strip club melee in Las Vegas.
Sports Network sues OSU
COLUMBUS (AP) — Ohio State University is being sued by ESPN.
The sports network alleges the school violated state public records law by denying requests for items related to an NCAA investigation that led to the resignation of football coach Jim Tressel and caused quarterback Terrell Pryor to leave school.
The suit asks justices to order the university to release the records and pay attorney fees and court costs.
Vrabel headed back to alma mater
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Former All-Pro linebacker Mike Vrabel (VRAY'-bul) is retiring from the Kansas City Chiefs and returning to his alma mater as an Ohio State assistant coach.
Vrabel confirmed Monday morning the end of his 14-year career and that he had taken the job as linebackers coach with the Buckeyes. The position was previously held by his college roommate and teammate, Luke Fickell (FIHK'-uhl), who was elevated to interim head coach when Jim Tressel resigned May 30.
Vrabel played for Pittsburgh and New England before closing out his career with the Chiefs. He announced his retirement in a statement issued through his agent.
Vrabel played eight seasons with the Patriots, winning three Super Bowl titles as a hybrid defender and a spot short-yardage and goal-line offensive player.

I guess things have started to go down the shoot for Pitt.
http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pitt.../s_519983.html Pitt safety Fields suspended for season By Kevin Gorman TRIBUNE-REVIEW Tuesday, July 31, 2007 After showing flashes of potential stardom in the secondary this past spring, Pitt sophomore safety Elijah Fields will instead be confined to the sidelines this season. Fields has been suspended for the football season for violating team policy, Panthers coach Dave Wannstedt announced Tuesday. "Although we have suspended Elijah for the season, he will remain part of our program and practice," Wannstedt said in a statement. "We will continue to demand that he work hard on the field and in the classroom so that he can be an important part of our program's future." At Duquesne High School, Fields was the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review's 2005 Football Player of the Year and the 2005-06 Athlete of the Year. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder played in eight games last season, mostly on special teams. Fields was suspended for part of spring drills but returned after missing six practices to star in the Blue-Gold Game in April. He returned an interception 53 yards for a touchdown and had seven tackles, including two for losses. Expected to challenge fifth-year senior Mike Phillips for a starting job, Fields will now likely take a redshirt this fall and have three seasons of eligibility remaining. |

Big games from Kelly Olynyk, Darius Johnson-Odom lead Celtics over Pistons in summer league | 07.08.13 at 5:05 pm ET |
Guard Darius Johnson-Odom scored a game-high 22 points over the bench while Celtics first-round pick Kelly Olynyk added 13 points, six rebounds and five steals as Boston beat Detroit, 93-63, in a summer league blowout in Orlando.
"It's an asset if you can go inside-out," Olynyk told NBA TV after Boston's first win of summer league. After scoring 25 points in Sunday's first game, Olynyk added an all-around game on Monday, chipping in with three assists and a blocked shot.
The Celtics were in complete control of the game, jumping out to a 30-9 lead after one quarter. The Celtics benefitted from balanced scoring as 12 of 13 players on the roster scored.
It was just the sixth 30-point decision in the history of summer league play in Orlando.
Phil Pressey was on the only other Celtics player in double figures, scoring 12 points.
While the Celtics improved to 1-1 in summer league, the Pistons, coached by Rasheed Wallace, suffered their first loss and evened their record at 1-1.
Fast Break: Jeff Green drives Celtics over Pistons | 04.03.13 at 10:14 pm ET |
Jeff Green scored a game-high 34 points — including a dagger 3-pointer with 45 seconds left — Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass each added 17, and the Kevin Garnett-less Celtics beat the Pistons, 98-93. A 76ers loss locked the C's into the playoffs, and a Bucks loss gave them a 2.5-game cushion over the eight seed.
Slump busting: In an attempt to emerge from his recent shooting struggles, Avery Bradley came out firing for the second straight game, and it's working. He made 6-of-11 jumpers against the Timberwolves on Monday in his highest-scoring night since March 5. And he followed that up with a 5-of-6 night on jump shots against the Pistons. In his 13 previous games, Bradley made just 22-of-70 attempts (30 percent) from beyond 10 feet.
Green Day: Once again, Green shined in his seventh straight start for the injured Garnett. He entered Wednesday's game averaging 21.4 points (55 FG%), 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 10 starts this season. He added six rebounds and four blocks to his 34 points on 13-of-19 shooting against the Pistons. Five-man Celtics units featuring Green were a combined plus-152, and all but one of them were in the black, according to 82games.com's most recent updated on March 21.
(In a related note, Doc Rivers told Celtics sideline reporter Greg Dickerson "he is 100 percent confident that KG will be healthy and ready to go for the playoffs.)
Defending their honor: Somehow, the Celtics lost their two previous games to Detroit this season by a combined 35 points, allowing 103 points each time. This time around, sans Garnett, the C's held the Pistons to 36.6 percent shooting (16.7 3P%), as pitbulls Bradley and Courtney Lee held Detroit's starting backcourt to 7-of-26 from the field. Of course, Bass's 17 points on eight shots and seven boards didn't hurt, either.
Paint job: The Pistons scored their first 12 points in the paint. Here's how it went down: Andre Drummond from 6 feet, Greg Monroe layup, Kyle Singler layup, Drummond layup, Monroe layup and Rodney Stuckney layup. Not good. Detroit out-rebounded the C's 8-0 on the offensive glass (Drummond 5), scored 18-of-30 first-quarter points in the key and took a five-point edge on Monroe's eight points, four rebounds and three assists. Also not good. When all was said and done, Detroit outscored the Celtics 58-28 in the paint.
Sloppy second half: With 3:49 left in the third quarter, the Celtics took a 74-56 lead on Chris Wilcox's one and only bucket. That's the good news. The bad: The Pistons closed the third quarter on an 11-0 run thanks to nine points from Monroe and Jonas Jerebko. When Jerebko (19 points) converted a 3-point play to start the fourth quarter, the C's 18-point lead was trimmed to four, and the teams had themselves a ballgame.
Extra chances: The Celtics shot 50.7 percent from the field. The Pistons shot 36.6 percent. So, how in the heck was it a three-point game midway through the fourth quarter? Turnovers, for one. The C's committed 16 of them, leading to 20 Detroit points. And offensive rebounds. The Pistons grabbed almost as many offensive boards (25) as defensive (27), giving the visitors 22 more shots for the game.
Jeff Green scored a game-high 34 points and Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass each had 17 as the Celtics held off the Pistons, 98-93, Wednesday night at TD Garden. As it turned out, the Celtics clinched a spot in the playoffs by virtue of Philadelphia's 88-83 loss in Charlotte as the fourth quarter was getting underway in Boston.
The Celtics snapped a two-game skid and improved to 39-36, maintaining their tenuous lead on Milwaukee for seventh in the Eastern Conference and out of a first-round encounter with the Miami Heat. With the Bucks losing at home to Minnesota, the Celtics now lead Milwaukee by 2.5 games for seventh in the East.
The Celtics won the game despite getting out-rebounded, 52-34, outscored in the paint, 58-28, and beaten in second-chance points, 26-7. Boston shot 50 percent on the night while holding the Pistons to 37 percent shooting, including 4-of-24 from 3-point range.
The Pistons had beaten Boston twice in their previous two meetings, scoring 103 points each time and winning by an average of 17 points a contest. Detroit shot 50 percent in each game in handing the Celtics two unexpected losses in Auburn Hills.
The Celtics appeared to be in for another long night against the bigger Pistons in the first quarter. Detroit jumped out to a six-point lead twice before settling for a 30-25 lead over Boston after 12 minutes.
Thanks to eight of his team-leading 23 points in the second, the Celtics outscored the Pistons, 29-14, and took a 54-44 lead to the locker room at halftime.
The Celtics built their lead to 18, 70-52, on two Bass free throws with 5:37 left in the third. They led by 18, 74-56, on a Chris Wilcox layup with 3:50 left in the quarter. But the Celtics fell asleep the rest of the period, allowing the Pistons to score the final 11 points of the period and cut the lead to 74-67 heading into the fourth.
Two Brandon Knight free throws with 9:21 left cut Boston's lead to three, 79-76.
Charlie Villanueava blew a layup with eight minutes left that would have cut the lead to one. The Pistons threw away another fast break chance with 7:22 left and Pierce came down and hit a jumper to put Boston back up five, 83-78, with seven minutes left. Villanueva, the University of Connecticut product, gave the Celtics a chance to avoid another embarrassing loss. Villanueva was 2-for-17 from the field and missed all eight 3-point attempts.
Green's jumper with 4:55 left put Boston up, 89-80. His put-back slam dunk of a Jason Terry missed jumper with 3:36 brought the crowd to their feet and put Boston ahead, 91-83. A technical on the Celtics bench and a two Greg Munroe free throws cut the lead down to four, 91-87, with three minutes left but Green answered with an 18-foot jumper with 2:56 left.
Jonas Jerebko gave Detroit new life with a three with 2:29 left, as the Pistons pulled within 93-90. Knight, infamous for getting dunked on by DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers, blew a wide open layup with just under two minutes left that would've drawn the Pistons within one.
Green's third trey of the night from the left baseline put Boston up 96-91 with just 45.3 seconds left. Rodney Stuckey passed on a wide-open, game-tying three with 20 seconds left, instead deferring to Villanueva, who missed his seventh triple attempt of the night.
The Celtics continue their four-game homestand on Friday night at the Garden with a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. For more from Mike Petraglia and Ben Rohrbach from the Garden, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
Doc Rivers announced an hour before tip-off that captain Paul Pierce would return from a one-game absence and would be available for the Celtics in their matchup against the Pistons.
Pierce missed Monday's game in Minnesota for what the team termed personal reasons. Pierce has missed just two of Boston's 75 games this season. Pierce was back in the lineup with Avery Bradley, Jeff Green, Brandon Bass and Chris Wilcox.
Rivers reiterated Wednesday that Monday's absence and Wednesday's uncertainty before the game had nothing to do with his right ankle.
Pierce had a wrap on his right ankle late in the fourth quarter against the Knicks on Sunday night but the team said it was just for maintenance and was not a serious injury.
As for Kevin Garnett, Rivers said the big man is working out on his own and testing his left foot. Inflammation in his left foot near the ankle caused him to miss his seventh straight game Wednesday night. The Celtics were 2-4 in the previous six.
"Honestly, I haven't asked one question about [Garnett's return]," Rivers said when asked about the end of the two-week timetable. "I don't even know when two weeks is. Whenever it is, it's probably coming up, and he'll play.
"We have a lot of practice days coming up and Kevin's been working out. He hasn't lost all his conditioning, but you do lose some when you don't play."
The Celtics play Cleveland on Friday in the second game of a four-game homestand that will also see them play Washington and Brooklyn. Rivers said the off days in between the home games will allow for more practices that should help the team work Garnett back into game action, if willing and able.
For more, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
It could be another night without Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.
Pierce, who missed just his second game of the season on Monday night due to personal reasons, is officially listed by the team as a "game-time decision" for tonight's game against the Pistons. Pierce was spotted with an ice wrap on his right foot in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game in New York but the team said at the time it was simply maintenance and not a serious injury.
Garnett, who has missed the last six games with inflammation in his left foot, was not at Wednesday morning's shootaround. Boston is just 2-4 in those six games.
Without the two stars, the Celtics (38-36) fell to the Timberwolves on Monday night in Minnesota. As a group, Celtics starters have struggled badly in their last two games. In a loss to the Knicks Sunday night, Brandon Bass, Avery Bradey and Chris Wilcox each scored two points. On Monday, Bradley led the way with 19 points but as a unit, the starters scored just 46 points in the 110-100 loss to the Wolves.
Tonight, the Celtics host the Detroit Pistons (25-50) at the Garden (7:30 p.m. tipoff). Despite their woeful record, the Pistons have beaten the Celtics in both previous meetings, scoring 103 points each time while shooting 50 percent from the field in each game. Detroit beat the Celtics 103-88 on Jan. 20 and 103-83 on Nov. 18.
Pierce leads Boston this season, scoring 18.8 points per game and has been the top assist man since Rajon Rondo went down on Jan. 25.
Greg Stiemsma: 'I'd love to pick Bill Russell's brain' | 02.16.12 at 1:50 pm ET |
BOSTON — Celtics rookie Greg Stiemsma won three Wisconsin high school Division 4 state championships in four seasons. Celtics legend Bill Russell won 11 NBA titles in 13 seasons. Needless to say, they're worlds apart.
However, for one night at least, those worlds collided, as the two sat courtside to start Wednesday night's Celtics loss to the Pistons — Stiemsma on the C's bench and Russell next to team owner Stephen Pagliuca.
Of course, the the Development League project and the greatest winner in sports are forever linked after Celtics announcer and former Russell teammate Tommy Heinsohn compared Stiemsma to Russell earlier this season.
'His timing and how he goes about blocking shots does remind me of Russell,'' said Heinsohn. 'He makes guys commit, he's quick to his leap, and he gets his hand up there right when the ball is leaving the shooter's hand.''
While Stiemsma has 22 blocks in 176 minutes this season for an average of 4.5 blocks per 36 minutes, Russell is considered the game's greatest shot blocker, so even the Celtics rookie laughed off the comparison.
"I mean, I heard it. Like I said before, that's pretty far out of my realm. I would never imagine that," he said, adding, "It was an honor to get that reference. And then, for it to come full circle, for him to be in the arena, it's all part of the experience, all part of this journey that's brought me here, so I'm trying to enjoy it as much as I can."
In glorious defeat, Rajon Rondo faces media music | at 1:10 am ET |
BOSTON — Give Rajon Rondo credit. Three days earlier, the Celtics point guard ducked out of the locker room without speaking to reporters after a win over the Eastern Conference-leading Bulls. On Wednesday night, he faced the media music following a 98-88 loss to the Central Division-worst Pistons.
Silent in victory, vocal in defeat. Not that he really said all that much. So goes the enigma that is Rajon Rondo.
Upon scoring a career-high 35 points against Detroit three days after equaling his career best against Chicago, Rondo simply said, "I made some, I missed some." For the record, he made 15 field goals and four free throws, missing 12 field goals and five free throws.
On Sunday, Rondo became the fourth player in NBA history to record 32 points, 15 assists, 10 rebounds and two steals in a single game, joining Magic Johnson (thrice), LeBron James and Reggie Theus. Wednesday's performance brought his totals for the last two games to 67 points, 21 assists, 15 rebounds and six steals.
Rondo's reaction? "The main thing is our record is 1-1 in these last two games," he said.
Entering the fourth quarter, the Celtics trailed the Pistons, 73-72. Detroit's lead grew to six as Rondo sat the first 3:33 of the final frame, and even after his return the Pistons stretched the lead to 13 with just over five minutes remaining. The C's never recovered, as just four of Rondo's 35 points came in the final quarter.

Third-year coach Emily Milberger |
July 11, 2013
Since September 1997, which was the last time the Montana golf team played in a tournament in Missoula, the rest of the Griz programs have competed at home more than 1,000 times in regular-season and postseason events.
That trend will come to an end in early September when the Griz golf program hosts the Montana Invitational at the Missoula Country Club. It will be the first home event for the program since the final Montana Fall Classic was held at the Missoula Country Club 16 years ago.
"I was passionate about setting up a home tournament because it's an experience that every athlete should be able to enjoy, and the golf team wasn't getting that opportunity," UM coach Emily Milberger said.
"It's really going to be exciting for our girls to compete on their home course in front of their families and friends and the community. It's been too long since the community has been able to see the Griz golf team play an event in Missoula."
The two-day, three-round tournament will take place Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 9-10, with 36 holes being played the first day, 18 more the second. Teams will play a practice round on Sunday afternoon.
In keeping with the spirit of the tournament, there will be no charge for spectators.
"We're really looking forward to the community getting involved with this event," Milberger said. "We already have an overload of people who are interested in volunteering, so it already feels like there is an excitement surrounding the event.
"There is not going to be an admission fee, so people can come out and watch as much golf as they'd like. The course is going to be very open to spectators, which will really allow us to showcase the talent we have in our program and also showcase the level of talent that's in women's collegiate golf."
The tournament will feature seven teams, four of them from Montana. In addition to the Grizzlies, Montana State will compete, as will teams from Carroll and Rocky Mountain. The out-of-state programs will be Alabama-Birmingham, Texas-Pan American and the University of British Columbia.
"We have six teams traveling to play in this first year of the tournament, with a lot of good representation from Montana as well as from around the country," Milberger said.
"Tournaments usually take a few years to get fully rolling, because so much of it depends on scheduling and timing conflicts with the other established tournaments that are out there. But getting these teams to Missoula this year will help spread the word and get other teams interested in coming next year."
The Grizzly Invitational is the first of four fall tournaments for Montana, which will be in its third season under Milberger in 2013-14. The Grizzlies will play tournaments at Pullman, Wash.; Aurora, Ore.; and Palm Desert, Calif.; in September and October.

If a future generation of humans, dwelling on an impoverished hot dying planet, were to indict the post second world war generations for ecocide, would they have a good case? To succeed they would have to be able to show that mankind had enough comprehension of the science of global warming to have understood the warnings, but preferred to ignore them. Warming to Ecocide argues that the science which underpins climate change is primarily thermodynamics, which is shown to be much more embedded than is commonly appreciated in the energetic processes on Earth. It is not just the science behind steam propulsion. In fact it is demonstrated that equilibrium thermodynamics can provide full explanations for the basis processes of life such as photosynthesis and metabolism, and that non-equilibrium thermodynamics is close to providing an explanation for how life started.Armed with a solid appreciation of the power of thermodynamics, the second half of Warming to Ecocide evaluates climate change from a thermodynamic perspective and offers strategies whereby mankind may avoid propelling the global average temperature above the pre-industrial level by more than 2 C, which the science views as a threshold presaging catastrophic run-away processes. less

Saturday morning, April 21st, 8:00 AM, on the Square, we are going to play in the dirt and mulch.Posted Saturday, April 21, 2012, at 6:52 AM
All things are in place for a fun work party. If you can't physically help, maybe bring some drinks or snacks and if not that, just come to be with us.
We are going to rough up the soil, then place some well rotted mulch, as much as we can carry and unload in a few hours. Once this is in place, we can start planting in a more relaxed pace until we have the garden populated and lookin' good. Comments Showing comments in chronological order [Show most recent comments first] The project went well. Thanks to all who came. We spread a good 5-6 " of dark, rich mulch on top of the roughed up soil so we are now ready to shape the beds and start some planting. Our area of responsibility is a lot larger than we originally planned, but we are up to it. A large scoop of clay was picked up in the mulch and has become the creative project for several of our members to shape it into something special for the garden. I heard Raku pottery, a large planting pot or maybe some flat, shaped stone stepping stones. With the ideas flowing, there is no telling what will develop. I really like the idea of creating something form our local clay. We also sourced some cedar stumps being brought in for landscaping texture. -- Posted by stevemills on Sat, Apr 21, 2012, at 3:17 PM

Welcome to my website! I hope you enjoy looking through my collection of paintings and pastels.
Be sure to view my announcements page for the current schedule of shows, classes and events.
My inspiration comes from my surroundings; the changing seasons in Upstate New York and its woodlands and waterways, the lively street festivals and the lovely old architecture that makes this area unique.
I love working with color. I am not concerned with capturing the true color of an object for that will change with light, darkness or atmosphere, but with using color to convey depth and form and emotion.
It is the emotional engagement of artist and viewer that I strive for.
Inspiration may come from the city streets or the quiet stillness of a North Country lake with the shimmer of light and color dancing upon it.
Other times inspiration comes from the merge of heart and mind in an image only the artist can create and the viewer can interpret. Color is the conduit connecting artist to emotion, and emotion to viewer.

Current Time
see + do
Hawaii see + do
Is Hawaii the land of a million honeymoons, a billion postcards, a thousand travel clichés? It is, and for good reason: The beaches here are some of the most spectacular on earth, and their backdrop of green, mist-shrouded mountains is, for many people, the very image of paradise. Is Hawaii also overdeveloped and oversanitized? Yes, in parts, but seven million people a year wouldn't be making the trek if there was nothing unique to see and do in Hawaii.
Your choice of island is critical, and largely dependent on what kind of trip you want (although if all you want is a good beach, you can't go wrong). The Big Island alone has 10 of the world's 12 climatic zones, which should make possible a few firsts: your first time surfing and snowboarding in the same day, perhaps, or your first time seeing an active lava flow. However its sheer size means that getting between attractions will require a significant amount of driving. Oahu, home to 80 percent of the state's population, has a thriving art scene; the largest outdoor shopping mall in the United States; and nightclubs, sporting events, and museums. Not least, Oahu's north shore is home to the best surfing in the world. Maui is Hawaii's most popular island and probably its prettiest, a place where you can join a drumming circle at Makena Beach, and ten minutes later be shopping at Louis Vuitton in the Shops at Wailea. Kauai is still lazy and discoverable: You can drive around the whole island (well, the parts that are paved) in less than three hours, find a deserted beach, go mountain tubing, hike a canyon, or watch for whales along a coastline that stood in for Spielberg's Jurassic Park.
The smaller, lesser-known islands of Lanai and Molokai are worth considering. Lanai is dominated by the Four Seasons resorts but feels like a private getaway: Beach lovers can swim (sometimes with dolphins) and snorkel in the marine sanctuary of Hulopoe Bay, go horseback riding, and golf at two world-class courses with breathtaking views. Molokai, doable as a day trip from Maui, is barely touched by tourism, with no major hotels. It offers a glimpse into native Hawaiian people and culture, and has hiking, paddling, horseback riding, and more.

We're having our second daughter in December, and our first daughter's name was Madison Eve. We've had a really hard time thinking of a name for our second daughter. We're open to any names but have considered Madeline. What would be a good middle name, and is Madeline too close to Madison? Feel free to suggest other first and middle name combinations as well. Thanks!!!
Madison and Madeline???
Comments (8)
I do think that Madison and Madeline are too similar. Both names are commonly given the nn Maddie. Even if you don't plan on giving your dds nns, your kids might have different ideas when they get older.
How about:

Madeline is WAY too similar to Madison!! My 2 year old is Madeline, she ends up getting called Maddie, and sometimes people mix her name up with a Madison we know.
People would definitely confuse their names, and I don't see why you'd want your daughters to have names that sound SO much alike.
Other suggestions to go with Madison... Lauren, Lily, Anna, Ava, Claire, Caroline, Isabelle, Brooke, Annabelle, Emily, Emma, Gabrielle, Katherine, Megan, Olivia, Samantha...
Madison and Madeline are very similar. They would sound like twin sisters to me.
How about:
Madison & Natalie
Madison & Marsaili
Madison & Maeve
Madison & Emerson
Madison & Avalon
Madison & Averil
Madison & Aureline
Madison & Arden
Madison & Arwen
Madison & Aerowen
Madison & Carys
Madison & Carese
Madison & Marlow
Madison & Marin
Madison & Maris
Madision & Marlena
Madison & Marisa
Madison & Marina
Madison & Meryl
Madison & Meredith
Madison & Persephone (per-SEF-oh-nee)
Madison & Gwendolyn
Madison & Shannon
Madison & Mena

Yah too close! Emmeline seems like a better choice but still close in style and sound (w/o being close to Madison) .

I unfortunatly have to agree w/eveyone & say they're too close =( I know how you feel because my ds was suppose to be Mikayla but turned out to be a Micah....then when I had my dd I wanted to use Mikayla so bad but I think they sound too close to the same.
Jen & Mike... loving our crazy life

Sorry, I agree that they really are way too close to use for sisters. They are both Madi- names and the endings almost rhyme. (assuming you would say Mad-uh-lyn, as most do...)
Growing 'em right since 2007
Madison and Madeline tend to be "either or" names to me. You can't really have one. It'd be like having a Barry and Larry in the same family, just too much.
I think you've gotten some great suggestions. I really like Emmeline with Madison. Good luck.

An identifier is a unique expression in a written format either by a code, by numbers or by the combination of both to distinguish variations from one to another among a class of substances, items, or objects. For living organisms and the structural identifications of objects, identifiers could be more complicated. In computer science, Identifiers (IDs) are lexical tokens that name entities. The concept is analogous to that of a "name." Identifiers are used extensively in virtually all information processing systems. Naming entities makes it possible to refer to them, which is essential for any kind of symbolic processing. (Excerpt from Wikipedia article: Identifier)

I have been brewing for a while now, started partial mash right out if the gate an have made some great beer. My wife and I recently moved to a new house with more room so I decided to brew an AG batch. I installed a RO system for my water and its great. Brewed a batch of the cascades and oranges APA in the recipe database. Everything went perfect, but I tastesd the beer when I moved it into the keg to age, and it has a ma vegetable taste like celery, and finishes with a unmistakable grain taste. Not what expected. Anyone have any advise. Perhaps my mash PH is all off and I have DMS or something going on in there.
It may either be DMS or a bacterial infection. Did you have any signs of infection when you transferred from the fermenter? Other causes can be wort that is cooled too slowly or with a lid firmly attached during the boil (DMS). There's a decent article here that covers what causes various off-flavors in beer.
No lid during boil... So it wasn't that. There was no sign of infection and it smells fine. It takes be about 1 hr to get down to pitching temp so not unusually long wort cool down. I am wondering if the hops I bought were bad. I bought a pound of cascade pellets but I am wondering if they were stored properly. Maybe the grain was getting old too... It looked like a brand new barrel of Marris Otter. Nothing looked smelled or tasted stale. I probably screwed something up with my mash and sparge. I got great efficiency though? I'm just confused.
I have had crappy luck brewing IPA's and APA's the last few I have brewed I have ended up with strong hop astringency zero aroma, floral, citrus nothing. Even with additions and dry hopping. I think I am going to switch to whole leaf hops for that style of beer from here on out. Will that make a difference.
Yeah my 25' coil chiller doesn't get the job done as well with a full boil... Plus my tap water is like 68 or a touch higher. I do have some pretty hard water, but I have not had any trouble with any I my other brews here at the new house so far. I made a vanilla coffee porter PM that turned out great. My pitching and fermentation temps were in the mid 60's I am just lost. I am thinking something between bad hops, or mash PH being too high, I haven't gotten that advanced yet but I will be before the next brew day .
It sounds like a slow cooling of the wort is the likeliest candidate, especially if it is only happening when you have a high percentage of light malts (pilsner, maris otter) as your base. Have you tried stirring your wort in the opposite direction of your chiller flow while cooling? I've found that, while tedious, stirring has shaved a good 20 minutes off of my cooling times. The other thing that has worked very well for me is adding salt to my ice bath. I'm able to cool my wort in less than 20 minutes now with my homemade IC. My tap water is a bit colder than yours, but by trying those two additional methods I imagine you should still be able to reduce your temps to pitching range in 30 minutes or less.
Thanks for the advise.... I am going to let this beer carb up in the keg and ride it out, might turn out fine. I will work on cooling faster, and I am going to try and get a fix on what kind of PH levels I am mashing at.

Judge extends delay of 9/11 case
The latest delay in the Sept. 11 war crimes case at Guantánamo is getting longer.
The military judge presiding over the case on Thursday postponed a pretrial hearing that was scheduled to start next week amid uncertainty over whether one defendant is mentally competent to stand trial.
In December, the judge, Army Col. James Pohl, adjourned the case so military doctors could determine if defendant Ramzi Bin al Shibh is competent following repeated outbursts in court. But the Yemeni captive accused of being a Sept. 11 plotter refused to meet with the doctors in January, so they could not make a finding.
Pohl instead set a hearing on its mental status for April at the U.S. base in Cuba.
A trial date has not yet been set for the five men charged with orchestrating the Sept. 11, 2001, attack.
For more information on the issue, read here.

A wonderful poem that we got from a young RCB Green Enthusiast, Swati. Thanks so much. One by one, they tried to reach my peak; But their chances of capturing it always remained bleak. I, the mighty Himalayas remained invincible and unreachable for long; Until Tensing and Hillary climbed up and sang the victory song. And from that day onwards I've had many guests visiting me; But the grief is, there was something more than just their glee. Unknowingly, they committed a great sin; By dumping garbage, plastic , metal and treating me like a dustbin. But this alone is not my plight; My friends the atmosphere, land and water showcase a similar sorrowful sight. But the biggest sufferer will eventually be man; As nature will pay back in the same coin, leading to wide scale destruction. Mercury level is rising day by day; Rapid industrial growth isn't the right way. This leading to melting glaciers and floods in some areas; Giving rise to dreadful diseases like dengue and malaria. Torrential rains on one hand, While sandstorms on another land. These are the vicious effects of global warming; Giving enough fear and warning. Hope mankind awakens at least now; With united efforts to avert this great disaster and save many living species from extinction. RCB is Game for Green, Are You?

The week malz was free I absolutely dominated with him. Now I know that in high tier elo's people will take cleanse against him but in solo q's right now it seems not many people are taking cleanse they take ghost + ignite. In fact I am usually the only one running cleanse. So why does the community deem Malz bad when A LOT of players in 5v5 solo q do not run cleanse?
Malz is very good in TT and any 1v1 situation. In team fights he utterly fails on his face.
Exactly what I was wondering. I really want to buy Mal but people keep saying cleanse wrecks him and I hardly ever see cleanse. I just played against my first Malz last match and tbqh he seemed kinda weak. He only killed me once during the match because he ulted me next to a turret. But other than that it seemed like his damage was tickling me. Just seems like he can't deal much damage unless he lines up every single spell and the person doesn't have cleanse.
here is your problem when using malz, you are squishy, and your ult while keeping an opponent in place, also keeps yourself in place, if they dont cleanse it, the other 4 people will just kill you to break the ult. you have no escape skill so early game you are very susceptible to ganks, you have no disable other than your ult, your silence can be dodged. Its not like malzahar is bad in the sense that champions like evelynn is bad (completely useless and will be reworked) rather, malzahar is kinda meh, as a glass cannon goes. Compare him to Annie, every 5 spell casts, annie gets a stun, she can charge up her stun by using a very mana efficient E, so can go into every fight with a big aoe stun. Malzahar's suppression is channeling, and single target. annie's minion is tibbers, tibbers does damage, tanks, and is cuddly, malzahar has voidlings, he cant move them and they give opponets gold. Malzahars aoe is ground target, they can move out, annie's is cone and bursts. Annie even has more survivability cos of her shield, plus her single target can be used to farm without manacost. So, its not malzahar is bad, its cos theres better alternatives without a ultimate that needs you to be still during its duration.
he is terribad bane elemental with 50% less health; ult lasts half the duration with almost no range at all
The Tyrant
hmm, even without cleanse he is only okay...Without his ult he doesent do enough damage AT ALL compared to other champions. and sure his silence is nice and all...But malz is only good when he has his ult up, and once it is gone he is pretty useless. He kind of reminds me of ryze but worst honestly. at least ryze can stun somewhat often.
Ill buy him, regardless, because he is fun, and can be built to be somewhat useful.

Perfect size pillow but just way too firm. Might be okay if it was only 4" thick but it keeps my head up too high...only sinks down about 3/4"! If you like really firm pillows you may give this one a try. Not for me though.
this pillow is very supportive and just soft enough for your head to sink into... and the tapered ends is what make the pillow, this supports your head nice along with your shoulders .. nice pillow

I love them! I used to sleep with a plain medium to firm pillow however, used to periodically wake up with a sore neck. Since I got these, not one sore neck!
