I was trying to focus intently on a bee hovering over a cluster of snow-white almond blossoms. All around me, scores of bees were buzzing. The weather was perfect for pollination - the sun was shining, the skies were clear and blue, and there was no breeze to stir the petals of the flowers that would make focusing somewhat of a challenge. And it was neither too hot nor too cold outside.
RIPON - The 48th annual Almond Blossom Festival parade starts at 11 a.m. today in downtown Ripon.

When teachers retire, they say goodbye to their students and to the years-long everyday grind in the classroom, but not to close friends. At least, that holds true to a group of retired teachers and staff from George McParland Elementary School. Once a month, these former coworkers take time out to catch up on post-retirement stories and simply renew close friendships over a scrumptious luncheon.
Progress is being made in Manteca's two-front effort to address chronic homeless issues.

"Wonderful Story"
I have always admired Julie Andrews but really did not know much about her. This is a very interesting book though it does drag a bit in spots. She also jumps around some in her story. Her description of her work on Broadway in the late 1950's and early 1960's is great. The sets, the costumes, the characters are all there. I can't wait for the rest of the story!

Searching for someone special.
I think I feel more comfortable with a discription that my closest friend would say about me. I am outgoing, fun, caring, honest, down to earth kind of girl.. I believe I am a loyal friend and sister. After reading some profiles on here, I noticed that there are a lot of people like myself that didn't see themselves being on an online dating site at this point in my life, with that said, I have had several friends who walked away with success stories, so I figure, why not give it a shot. I consider myself outgoing, loves to laugh, keeping active, being goofy and also sarcastic. I think I have alot to offer someone, I am well grounded, good job and the least amount of drama in my life the better. At this point in my life I am looking for someone who can be my best friend and life partner (in crime;) I am over the "bar scene". I do enjoy going out, but really at this point it is to socialize with my friends. I am hoping to find someone who is fun, easy going, attractive and down to earth. Someone who is not afraid to communicate, good or bad. I have no problem staying in on a weekend night, maybe cooking dinner and or watching a movie together. Sometimes there is nothing better, than I nice glass of wine, good food and great company. I am here, not to waste your time, I know what I am looking for. I am a pretty positive person and I am hoping this process brings me success!!!

I enjoy spending my free time with my family and friends. Summer time, I love to be at the beach. I enjoy going into the city, movies maybe even seeing a show. Wine tasting. Traveling is a passion of mine. I also like spending quite nights at home.

Through his personal interest in World War I, George S. Tate finds deeper meaning of D&C Section 138. Remembering the circumstances of 1918—the war, pandemic flu, and Joseph F. Smith's loss of a son—makes the assurance of divine love and ultimate redemption found in D&C 138 more poignant.

Louisa Barnes Pratt's History, published here as volume three in Maureen Ursenbach Beecher's series Life Writings of Frontier Women could have asked for no more qualified editor than S. George Ellsworth. Along with being a founding editor of the Western Historical Quarterly and editor of The Journals of Addison Pratt, Ellsworth has written and edited several books and articles on pioneer women, the history of southern Utah, and the history of the LDS Church in the South Pacific. These topics are central to Louisa's narrative which comprises a valuable resource for students of the Saints trek west Mormon missionary work early Mormon settlement in California and life in nineteenth century southern Utah.
For all its bearing on these important subfields of Church history, however, the greatest contribution Louisa's History makes is in the field of LDS women's history. Married, but often separated from her husband, and involved with everything from the Nauvoo exodus to teaching the gospel in French Polynesia, Louisa offers her reader a woman's view of life in the Church unparalleled by other memoirs or biographies. As such, History will be an essential read for a long time to come for anyone interested in LDS women's history.

what's the minimum size for a range hood duct?
We have a microwave with a fan which blows the exhaust back into the room and does nothing about the smoke/odors. We want to
1) put in a duct to the outside, either to the side or to the roof
2) get a real hood
But starting with #1, I'm worried that we might put in a duct that is too small or otherwise ineffective. Any advice?
Because of an eave they might want to run the duct back towards the window over the sink, so that would be another bend. It's a 2 story house with a bathroom above and I think venting all the way to the roof would be complicated. I'm not too worried about a metal duct running on top of the cabinets but that's something to think about too. And this is Colorado with a well insulated house, so maybe we would have to open a window for make up air while cooking? Not a big deal even in winter I think.
This post was edited by olreader on Tue, Mar 18, 14 at 16:35
It depends on the fan and the length of the ducting. See the install guide for the fan you are considering.
There is something called "equivalent feet" in ducting. For example a duct run that is 20 feet long with 3 or 4 elbows or turns in the ductwork will not perform the same as ductwork that is 20 feet straight. Each turn or elbow (depending on its configuration and actual angle) has a mathematical value of its equivalent feet. These figures are all added together to get the ducting total equivalent feet. That is what should be used to make sure the duct is long enough for the fan.
The need for makeup air will be determined by the cfm of your fan and local codes. If you want to avoid the extra expense of adding makeup air, then keep the fan size below where it is required. Check with your local building department for this info.
I just put one in, nearly exactly in your configuration. I ran through the top of the cabinets and out the wall. Mine is 8" round duct, but it is 900cfm on high. I believe many residential hoods are only 6" ducts. Mine was too large to run above the cabinets and still be hidden by crown, but goes through top of 42" cabinets quite nicely, and I cant reach that top shelf anyway, so I didnt mind giving up the cabinet space. I just couldnt use glass front cabinets in that stretch. Also, having it through cabinets may make it come out low enough that your eave isnt an issue.
What Julie said. First choose the vent hood you want. Then look at the specifications for it. It will explain to you exactly what Julie did, only with figures.
A.J. Madison is good at having installation guides for appliances they sell. In fact, they are better than some manufacturers websites.
Here is a link that might be useful: A J Madison
Thanks for the good answers, I found OOTM's experience encouraging. If 6" or 8" is all we need I think we can find a place for that. We were getting some bids for other work last week and asked about getting a duct put in. That was a lot of progress, we have been thinking about a hood since we moved in 4 years ago.
We make decisions very slowly around here....we will probably pass on getting a duct put in now, and maybe eventually we will start looking at what hood to get...

Senior Project Manager Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4+ weeks – interviewed at Waggener Edstrom Communications in October 2011.
I was referred to the company by a friend who had direct experience working with Waggener Edstrom as a contractor. I met with two senior level managers, both of whom were extremely nice and open. They were both encouraging regarding my skills and experience and were both open to passing my name along to others in their company who might be interested in my skillset. The interview was more of an open conversation--very casual. The most difficult part was actually scheduling the time to get together. My two meetings took many weeks to coordinate, but it is understandable since both these individuals are senior level and thus very busy. In my follow up communications, they have been cordial.

Probably the biggest selling single item we have ever had is now available again! Grab yours to avoid disappointment!
Today when we logged into Facebook we were greeted with a warning! We were told that they had removed a recent post (one that had over 1,500 'likes') as it showed a woman doing a handstand and it was offensive (apparently). We can't even locate the original shot as it was deleted from our picture files but it was very similar to this one...
I'd like to know what it is that's offensive in this picture? What is upsetting about it?
Is the naked form of the human body and offence to people these days? Are pictures like this harmful to people (of any age)? I see a LOT of questionable content on facebook which lots of people are likely to be offended by, but this? Really?
Facebook even said that if we were to do it again they would "suspend our account"!!!
On the whole we love facebook and the way it allows us and other people to communicate to such a wide global audience but surely this decision is bizarre?
So, we'll post this and other pictures like it here. On our blog.
There's nothing to be ashamed of to be upset by the human body. It's a beautiful thing thing when we look after it. It's a miricle.
Shame on you facebook.....

Woman Arrested For DUI After Drinking Vanilla Extract [Video]
Police arrested and charged a woman for felony driving under the influence in upstate New York near Rochester last week.
No big deal, right? Well, this wasn't your typical DUI.
Police arrested and charged a woman for felony driving under the influence in upstate New York near Rochester last week.
No big deal, right? Well, this wasn't your typical DUI.
It's no surprise to some that Lenden Woodruff has been arrested on charges of drunk driving.
That's because he has two prior convictions for the same offense. But the plot thickens because Woodruff isn't just a normal drunkard, but is a police officer who leads law enforcement departments in Oklahoma.
Last week, we talked about a West Michigan story that has since gone viral where a massive party, called Project P, was thrown and thousands of people showed up.
The guy that threw the Mecosta County party, 20-year-old James Taylor, was interviewed and during it referenced a man still passed out on his living room floor HOURS after all the other party-goers left.
A drunk guy was busted at San Francisco International Airport this week after he had a few drinks, then decided to pose as a TSA agent and start patting people down in private booths used by the TSA for screening.
I have been enjoying the series "Drunk History" on Comedy Central. Which is basically sober actors re-enacting scenes from history, but with a hammered drunk narrator.Now, a YouTube video has surfaced from a group of film makers who wrote and produced a "Star Trek" parody, while hammered drunk.
Like New Year's Eve and the Superbowl, for many, St. Patrick's Day has become a drinking holiday. Because of this, extra enforcement will be on the street.
Maybe she was just celebrating the beginning of a new school year.
I heard that the Missoula PD was busy most of the night Saturday handing out DUI's. Everywhere you went there seemed to be "cherries and berries" flashing. The boys in blue handed out 12 DUI's on NYE
You guessed it. All of my Vidiot picks this week are gonna be in the spirit of the Holidays. Starting things of with one of my favorite "yule tide" songs.
The song is for everyone who HATES Christmas

We'd like to thank everyone that came out to the Dim Mak Stage at the 5th Annual Sunset Strip Music Festival two weeks ago. If you didn't get the chance to make it out here is a wrap up of what went down on that glorious Saturday night.
We had our very own Dim Mak stage at the Roxy, featuring sets by some of our favorites including Clockwork, PeaceTreaty, Yung Skeeter and Bones. Along with performances on our stage, Steve Aoki's headlining set was full of surprises including popping bottles with Lil Jon, girls crowd rafting, and special guest appearances by Travis Barker, Will.I.Am, and Miss Palmer. If that wasn't enough Steve ended the show by diving into a 2,000 lb cake, dedicated to his 1 million fans on Facebook. We understand this madness sounds too good to be true, so here are a few photos of the madness and we also made sure to post all the pictures of the event on our official Facebook page for all you non-believers at home.

Born and raised in Colorado. I'm avid lucid dreamer and Zen Buddhist. I love getting to know people whether or not I agree with everything they do. Every encounter is a chance to learn more about the world and further define who I am. I love improving myself, from meditating to reading to learning a new instrument. I appreciate the small things in life and try my best to live in the moment without attachment to the future or past. I enjoy feeling of the sun on my face, especially early in the morning, the incoherent babble of nearby stream when camping, and the smell of a summer's barbeque.

my adenium babies
when temps maintain about 80 i will probably move them outside i have one single one outside now and it seems happy. I am currently growing 27 different varieties!!! they are everywhere like seymour off lil shop of horrors...feed me, feed me lol!
frank i got no less than 80% germination from those seeds as a rule and alot 100% germination. make sure you keep them nice and moist to start out...they won't grow unless moist... i got a 5.00 mister at big lots that you hand pump and i just mist them and they love it. and i got them in the 5:1:1 mix and my bark is a bit too big at times so i put a thin layer of potting soil just enough to cover the other mix...soaked the seeds for no less than 4 hours in warm water...layed flat...covered with another light dusting of potting soil just enough to cover, misted and they germinate like crazy...happy planting!!!
A little adenium plantation you've got there! With fresh adenium seeds you should have almost 100% germination. The seeds don't have a long viability period and if they haven't emerged within a couple weeks they probably wont. Most of the time my adeniums are up within a week. I just use a high quality potting mix like Fafard, Happy Frog or Oceanforest for starting seeds. I don't switch to a gritty mix for quite a while. Good luck with your little guys.
Ymaddox, you are gonna be busy in about three months!
Here are the few that germinated in February for me--you're right about them making winter more bearable:
My fattest little caudex by far:
Gosh, they are cute when they're so tiny! Thanks, Laura, for those seeds! The two potted up together will go to my mom for Mothers' Day, along with a blooming mature DR.
Happy Mothers' Day weekend to all the moms out there!
Jen, they look lovely and they're only 3 mths old? How I wish I could get that amount of growth in that time, but then I don't live in Texas do I!! They look lovely in those little Bonsai style pots and very healthy too. Well done!
Gill from the UK.
jen if my babies turn out like yours i will be a very happy woman :). happy mothers day to all! Marie my oldest daughter fosters and it is so much fun...emotional at times but so much fun. she wants a bakers dozen lol they always need good foster parents...something to think about :)
Hey Jen,
So glad to see the babies looking wonderful. I knew they would do well in your care. Makes me happy to see that my seeds grew so fast for you!!! WHoo HOO! Makes me happy!!
You are doing a great job Jen!!!
ALways looking great!!!
Thanks, guys! I gave the two potted together to my mom for Mothers' Day and she was delighted with them--made me very happy to see!
Gill, I know growing tropicals is very tough for you--and I got to witness firsthand over the Christmas holidays just how short your winter days are as we visited family in England--but you can grow things in the UK I can only admire from afar, like peonies and camillias. And hellebores. And beech trees the size of NYC office buildings! We get lots of sun here but my yard has about 6" of soil and solid limestone underneath. Plus critters! So, each of us has our consolations, I guess!
Laura, thanks again--if I ever get a seed pod from them I will be sure to pay it forward.
Oh you guys are doing so well with those seedlings - you make it look effortless!!!
I also love your pots Jen, very nice! I figure I'll get some nice pots maybe next season when I'm (hopefully) not buying so many plants! LOL!
I planted 31 seeds last night. I was only able to soak them for about 3.5 hours, but then laid them on top of about 2 inches of soil or so (I wanted to make sure the heat mat could really keep them warmed up) and then sprinkled a very light layer of soil on top of them. I had pre-moistened the bottom soil so then once I laid them in I could just spray / mist the top soil. I misted them again this morning.
Wendy gave me several seeds but sadly I think I made a few mistakes and none of them sprouted. That's ok, that happened with my first batch of plumie seeds too and after that I was sprouting like crazy, so hopefully that's the case here too!
Emily, the DR seeds Laura gave me took so long to sprout--a couple of months, I think--that I thought for sure they were goners, but eventually six of eight germinated. One withered away after a few weeks and the other five are doing great, so don't give up!
A couple of months???!!! Oh Jen, the patience you have!!! The two you gave your mother are just precious, good call on that!
Thanks Laura! I've gotten some good sprouting even in this short of time - in only a few short days (4-5) I've got about 10 of them above the soil line with their seed coats off. I've pestered these as much as my plumie seeds, so admittedly I have "helped" the seed coats off once I see them kind of standing up. I was worried if they stayed on too long they would rot.
These are just too much fun!!! Y, how are your seeds doing?
i will try to post pics middle part of next week...work the next four days 12 hour shifts...they are coming right along though the ones that i have planted all the seeds of one variety in one pot seem to do better than planting individual...no clue why...maybe they like company ;)

Tokyo Metropolis
|It has been suggested that this article be merged into Tokyo. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2014.
- This article is about the present-day Tokyo government. For other uses, see Tokyo (disambiguation).
Tokyo Metropolis (東京都 Tōkyō-to?), not to be confused with the Tokyo metropolitan area, is the local government of the traditional city of Tokyo (1869–1943) and the associated municipalities of what was formerly Tokyo Prefecture (1869–1943).[1] It is one of Japan's 47 prefectures.
In 1943, the administration of Tokyo city merged with the administration of Tokyo Prefecture. Tokyo prefecture's other municipalities remained Tokyo Metropolis' municipalities.
Between 1943 and 1947 under the Tōkyō tosei (東京都制, roughly "Tokyo Metropolitan system" or "code"), a law that took effect on July 1, 1943.[1] Tōkyō-to served as both the prefectural government for Tokyo and the municipal government for what had previously been Tokyo City.
|Prefectural level
|Tōkyō-to ("Tokyo Metropolis")
formerly Tōkyō-fu
|Municipal level
|2 remaining cities (shi)
Hachiōji and Tachikawa
|Towns (machi) and villages (mura)
in West Tama, North Tama and South Tama counties, island subprefectures
|35 wards (ku)
Since 1947, the former city area is administered in 23 special wards. During the US-led Allied occupation and again since 1975, citizens of special wards are allowed to directly elect their mayors as in other municipalities. In several reforms, municipal responsibilities have been devolved from the Metropolitan to the special ward governments. In 2000, they were formally recognized by law as local public entities on the municipal level; but the Metropolitan government continues to exert some municipal authority, e.g. for fire protection.
|Prefectural level
|Tōkyō-to ("Tokyo Metropolis")
|Municipal level
|23 special wards (tokubetsu-ku)
|26 cities (shi)
in former North Tama, South Tama counties and parts of West Tama
|5 towns (machi) and 8 villages (mura)
in remaining West Tama county, island subprefectures
|Note: The prefectural government continues to use the literal translation "special ward" for the 23 tokubetsu-ku. The wards themselves use "city" as the English translation.
Language specifics[edit]
Due to semantic overload, To (都) Do (道) Fu (府) and Ken (県), all 4 are commonly all lumped together and simply translated into English as prefecture, though remain distinct concepts in Japanese. The Japanese words and usage originate in Chinese administration. This overload is apparent in English descriptions of Japanese administrative terms, as are problems of translation fidelity. The term Metropolis was arbitrarily adopted by the Tokyo government to make note of the difference between a Fu and a To, both translated to the same word 'prefecture' in English. In regards to translation fidelity (quality), the Chinese (zh:県) originally referred to a rustic area or mostly closely to the English term county, (zh:府) an urban settlement, (zh:都) a capital or major city, and the Portuguese 'pt:prefeitura' which is translated to English prefecture, refers to a municipality or most closely an English county. Though it suffices to use the term prefecture as a catch-all term, Japanese dictionaries do make note of these distinctions, the online dictionary Tangorin describes a Fu is translated as urban prefecture[2] to distinguish it from a prefecture Ken (県).,[3] as well as todofuken (都道府県) being an administrative division of Japan rather than simply Prefectures of Japan.[4] Major respected dictionary publishers Kodansha and Shogakukan similarly produce their own definitions for (都) Do (道) Fu (府) and Ken (県) into English that avoid the above complications and errors.

Look at the cover picture, does the whole black roll-neck thing remind you of another political wife's post-husband -leaving-office autobiography?
You don't think Cherie is going to copy Hilary and try running for office as well? She really does hate Gordon*…
*You can see what she thinks of Gordon on GuyNews.TV.
- The Treasury's primary spin-line is that it is all because of the sub-prime crisis in America and that no one could predict it coming.
- The second line of spin is that it is the Bank of England's fault for not flooding the market with liquidity when trouble came.
King thought not on September 12, yet under pressure from Alastair Darling, the very next day he supported the bail-out of the Northern Rock management. There was no systemic risk to the financial system which could justify such a move. Now with the Treasury promising to guarantee all bank deposits, the British banking industry has become Moral Hazard central. The news that King has been forced to effectively reverse a sound policy means all risks have been transferred to the taxpayer. So if today an RBS trader "did a Leeson" the Treasury would end up picking up the tab.
The second line of Treasury spin is that the Bank of England should have flooded the markets with liquidity. That is never generally a good idea for an institution obliged to fight inflation. Market participants were in any event able to borrow from the bank window at penalty rates (and some did). Northern Rock could not do it because they did not have the necessary collateral.
The blame lies not with Mervyn King but squarely with Northern Rock's management. The Northern Rock board took the risk in their dash for profit growth, a risk that should have been spotted at board level by their risk management committee chaired by Sir Derek Wanless.
Wanless should resign immediately and be stripped of any bonuses and performance related payments.

2011 Ford E-350Visitor, Wooster, OH, February 26, 2014 21:51The company i work for has 8 of these and all of them drink oil. mileage runs from 40,000 to 70,000, The one i drive has 42,000 and i have to add a quart about every 800 miles. mine is the worst but all of them drink oil. strange that all 8 drink that black liquid. year rages from 2009-2011
2008 Ford E-350Visitor, Chinle, AZ, February 17, 2014 00:05Love my E-350. Big and heavy it runs great over these rough roads on the Navajo Indian Reservation. Would love to have an easy way to disable the RSC as I live 2 miles up a dirt and gravel washboard road with a 4% grade hill on the way up. Noticed the review talking about difficulty keeping it on the road. I had this problem. it was a layer of mud that had hardened on the inside of the rear rims. You couldn't even tell it was on there. I put new tires on and it walked all over the road. Cleaned up the rims and rebalanced the tires and she drives perfectly down the road.
2008 Ford E-350Visitor, Axton, VA, October 16, 2012 16:28YOU CAN'T KEEP THIS FORD IN THE ROAD, YOU HAVE TO DRIVE IT ALL THE TIME. I HAVE PUT NEW BALL JOINTS UPPER AND LOWER, NEW TRIES, LINE UP 3 TIMES, NOW THEY TELL ME IT COULD BE STEERING BOX. JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF ANYONE HAS HAD THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR VAN.
2003 Ford E-350Visitor, Redding, CA, February 23, 2012 18:20My ford e350 starts well, and idles smoothly, but will not accelerate past low speed. Air and fuel filters were replaced as well as sparkplugs. Vacuum is 23 lbs.
1997 Ford E-350Visitor, Westlake, OH, August 14, 2011 18:195.4 engine is a joke, try changing spark plugs. engineers and designers must have been assleep!
2005 Ford E-350Visitor, Brandenburg, KY, May 30, 2011 07:46Big Red is a beast. She has the role of large family mover. The vehicle is taking a beating and has not even come close to quitting. The AC design by default is weak, but no issues. I alsouse it to haul hay and other trailers.
1991 Ford E-350webkelld, Flushing, MI, May 22, 2011 22:01First E350. Have had multiple exhaust problems. Hard trying to track down no start problem. Great tranny in it though. Lot of little idiosyncracies thoughRookie
2006 Ford E-350Visitor, Janesville, WI, January 29, 2011 12:31208,000 and still a good, strong running vehicle. Some minor electrical issues (power door locks) and leaks/weeping (oil pan, power steering). Only engine problem is occasional misfiring and the high cost to check/replace plugs and boots.
2009 Ford E-350lngroller, Richmond, VA, April 06, 2010 17:06Moved up from a E150 and I love it. I just wish it was easier to find accessories for E series vehicles. Brush guards/ grill protectors etc. Also, I went from the 5.8L E150 getting 16mpg in town to the 5.4L getting 13.5-14mpg in town lightly loaded. would love that 2-2.5 MPG back.Rookie

Mr. McCarthy is a God-send! He saved my son from a decade in prison. Finding ourselves in the nightmare of the criminal justice system was horrifying. We were referred to Mr. McCarthy from a friend who used his services a couple of years before. Mr. McCarthy and his staff were always available. They took all the time we needed to understand the proceedings and really "went to bat" for our son. The entire matter lasted about 4 months, and at the end our son was given work project and a couple of years of probation. I recommend Mr. McCarthy to anyone that has been arrested. He is truly a great attorney!

After consulting with several attorneys, we had no doubt we would hire Richard Dudek and his fellow attorney Philip McCarthy. Both of them are knowledgeable and professional. They got us the best possible outcome of our case for which we are truly thankful to them. We would definitely recommend both of them to those who need legal advice and representation.

Early Voting Begins Next Week, City Leadership Posts Up For Grabs
Early voting begins next week for the May primary. Columbus voters will decide candidates for both the city school board, city council, and mayor. .
Next month, Columbus School District voters face a big decision – whether to approve a 24 percent increase in school taxes. City and School leaders promise the schools levy will bring reform and improve the troubled district.
Ohio State sits behind Alabama, Florida State, and Oregon in the first round of Bowl Championship Series rankings released Sunday evening.
After nine months of soul searching and numerous public hearings – supporter of the school tax increase say the "Levy is the Reform.â€
Voters, for the first time, are being asked to approve local property tax funds for independently run charter schools. The Charter school sharing proposal is the most controversial policy aspect of the $75 million request.
Reformers on Mayor Coleman's education commission say the surest way to boost long-term overall student success is to make sure children are ready for kindergarten. Leaders promise to spend $8.5 million of the levy to pay for additional more pre-school classes.
Columbus City School leaders and city officials say the 9 mill levy will improve the district's school failing report cards, expand pre-kindergarten and prepare high school students for adulthood.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- Jason Kidd's poise during the manic final
seconds of overtime rescued the New Jersey Nets from a potentially
demoralizing loss to one the of NBA's worst teams.
Kidd ran down a blocked shot, then hit a driving layup as he was
fouled with 2.5 seconds left, lifting the Nets to an 86-85 victory
over the New Orleans Hornets on Wednesday night.
"I took a peek at the clock to see we had time," Kidd said,
describing the moment he grabbed a loose ball along the sidelines
with about 5 seconds remaining. "Everybody was scrambling, so my
first reaction was drive to the basket -- if I get fouled just make
the free throws, if not, lay it in."
The Hornets still had a chance to win when rookie J.R. Smith,
who had been the Hornets best player of the night, was fouled on a
3-point attempt with 1.5 seconds to go. But Smith missed the first
two foul shots, then tried to miss the third but ended up putting
it in off the backboard, allowing New Jersey to inbound the ball
and run out the clock.
"I've been beating myself up over it because I know I should
have made the free throws," said Smith, who sank to his hands and
knees as the game ended. "Just bad luck really. I'm used to making
big free throws."
Vince Carter led the Nets with 24 points and 10 rebounds, while
Kidd finished with 15 points and nine assists as the Nets (27-35),
who still hope to make the playoffs, halted a three-game losing
Jacque Vaughn scored 13 points and Nenad Krstic 12 for New
Jersey, which nearly blew a 19-point lead.
Smith had 23 for New Orleans, including a 3-pointer with 1:23
left in regulation that helped New Orleans rally to tie the game.
Chris Andersen had 12 points and 11 rebounds for the Hornets, while
Lee Nailon and Dan Dickau each scored 10.
P.J. Brown's jumper gave New Orleans an 84-83 lead with 16.2
seconds left in overtime. Carter missed a jumper on the other end,
but Jason Collins got the rebound as he was fouled to keep the Nets
alive. Collins missed both free throws, then rebounded his second
miss, only to have his putback slapped away by Andersen. Kidd ran
it down and dribbled in for the eventual winning score.
"Jason showed his warrior spirit in getting that offensive
rebound and driving it right to the rim. That's what separates him
from others," Nets coach Lawrence Frank said. "It wasn't pretty,
but we had to find a way to win it and our guys did. Anytime you're
in a playoff chase on the outside looking in you need to win. You
need to win with a sense of urgency every night."
New Jersey led by 15 early in the third quarter, but Smith and
Andersen fueled an 11-2 run to cut the score to 59-55. Smith hit a
3 and finished a break with a dunk during the run. Smith was out in
front on another break but lost his footing under the basket and
lofted the ball up softly for Andersen, who threw down an alley-oop
dunk to cap the run.
New Orleans tied the game at 75 with four straight points on
Smith's 3, followed by Speedy Claxton's free throw with 58.2
seconds left in the game.
Carter's jumper gave New Jersey a brief lead before Andersen's
off-balance tip-in tied it again. Carter's missed pull-up jumper
then gave New Orleans 8.2 seconds to win the game in regulation.
And although New Jersey was over the limit in fouls, the Hornets
settled for a 3-point attempt by Bostjan Nachbar that missed.
Hornets coach Byron Scott said he wanted Claxton to drive but
the Nets were able to shut off that option, forcing the outside
New Orleans' early shooting trouble, reminiscent of the droughts
the Hornets experienced in a loss Sunday against Toronto, allowed
New Jersey to open up a quick double-digit lead. New Orleans shot
6-of-23 in the first period.
The Nets responded with an 18-2 run that included Kidd's 3 and
Carter's alley-oop dunk in running out to a 24-9 lead.
"It's a shame that we didn't come out with the defensive
intensity in the beginning of the game. If so, we probably would
have won this game easily," Brown said. "This one hurts. We
wanted it for coach Scott (who previously coached the Nets). It
seems we've lost in about every imaginable way, but this one hurts
the most."
In the second period, Carter hit a 3, then Zoran Paninic hit two
more 3-pointers, and after Kidd stole a rebound from Maceij Lampe
for an easy layup, it was 42-26.
New Orleans finished the last two minutes of the second period
with an 8-0 run that included a jumper and soaring fast break dunk
by Smith and ended with Dan Dickau's off-balance jumper at the
buzzer, leading 45-34 at halftime.
Game notes
Vaughn, who came in averaging 4.6 points per game, scored
12 in the first quarter, then didn't score again until his free
throw in overtime. ... New Orleans failed to score 20 in the first
quarter for the 26th time this season. ... Kidd, who now has 7,101
assists in his career, passed Tim Hardaway (7,095) for 11th
all-time in that category. ... Carter has scored 20 or more points
in 19 of 20 games. ... New Orleans is 0-40 when trailing after
three quarters.
