Saratoga Performing Arts Center, Saratoga Springs, NY
Coming off a huge headlining performance Saturday night at the Firefly Music Festival, Tom and the guys didn't step off the gas Sunday at the Saratoga Springs Performing Arts Center, rocking thousands of Heartbreakers fans at a venue that's been a staple on the band's summer tours for more than three decades.
"Saratoga Springs, it's good to see you!" Tom said after "Love Is A Long Road," waving to the packed amphitheater. "I hope you don't have any plans to go anywhere, 'cause we're ready to go!"
Mike Campbell tore into "I Won't Back Down," wringing every note out of his Gretch Clipper as the crowd sang along with Tom. "Steppin' Stone" gave everyone some insight into the band's roots in garage rock and love of Paul Revere & the Raiders, but tonight's highlight was "I Should Have Known It," the sweltering blues rocker off Mojo that sends Tom swaggering each night around the stage, maracas or tambourine in hand.
"We've been coming here since 1980," Tom said as his bid goodnight to the cheering amphitheater after "American Girl." "Thank you for always supporting us and coming out to see us, Saratoga. We'll see you next time!"
Set List:
Rock & Roll Star
Love Is A Long Road
I Won't Back Down
Steppin' Stone

With Halloween just around the corner, you might be tempted to make your cat or dog a star by dressing him up in the cutest mini-sized costume you can find. But wait—is trick-or-treat apparel really safe for your furry friends?
Our experts suggest putting your pet in a costume only if you're sure he will enjoy it. Some pets love the limelight: wearing a costume and posing for pictures is a blast! Others prefer to stick to their birthday suits for all occasions, and being dressed like a pumpkin for their pet parents' amusement can cause unnecessary stress.
If you decide to have your pet wear a costume, here are some helpful safety tips to keep in mind:
- Your pet's Halloween garb should not constrict his movement or hearing, or impede his ability to breathe, bark or meow. Be sure to try on costumes in advance—and if your furry friend seems distressed, you'll want to ditch the mini-pirate hat and vest.
- Examine your pet's costume and make sure it doesn't have any small, dangling or easily chewed-off pieces that he could choke on. Also, ill-fitting outfits can get caught on external objects or your pet, leading to injury.
- IDs, please! Make sure your dog or cat has proper identification on underneath that cute costume. If for any reason your pet escapes and becomes lost during Halloween festivities, a collar and tags and/or a microchip can be a lifesaver.
For a complete list of animal safety guidelines for this spooky holiday, check out our expert Halloween Safety Tips for pet parents.
Tell us: Are you planning to dress up your pet for Halloween?
I am planning on dressing up my 2 dogs,but we buy 1 size up so it fits them coferly.
Pet costumes can be harmless fun if your pet doesn't mind wearing them. But if your pet seems uneasy with it or is struggling to get it off, then ditch the whole idea. It has to be fun for them too.
The best pet costume ever - I took my husky-shepherd out with my kids one year, and told the other young trick-or-treaters that he was a cat in a really good dog costume! They were all very impressed.
I consider pet costumes to be inhumane and insulting to the pets. Several years ago, a few days before Halloween, I was driving to an adjoining town and alongside the road was the body of a black and white cat wearing what appeared to be a ballerina tutu. The only conclusion I could come to was that some little girl thought it was cute, the cat panicked and ran into the road and got killed. Please, please, please, please -- for the sake of my tender heart -- do not put costumes on your pets.
Every year my dogs have the best costume. They dress up as DOGS! I must say they are scarily convincing in this role and they seem to love it. Beautiful fur coats, exquisite markings, beautiful muscular physique! Plus their useage of real animal fur is perfectly PETA acceptable. These costumes seem to fool everyone into thinking my dogs are dogs and not the fur-covered leprechauns that they truly are!
We do dress our dog up every Halloween, but like you mention we stick to outfits he can easily move in. I use high value treats to condition him to wear them - so he enjoys playing dress-up. Last year we all went as a family of skunks - it was hysterical! I'll even take him door to door and have people give him a dog treat (I provide them) as a way to socialize him. Others enjoy it too :-)
I have a minature pomeranian, and O Will ne dressing him on a cat costume, for Halloween. He loves the attention, he is a ham,when it comes to pictures an dressing up
We put our rat terrier in a Halloween costume long enough to take a couple photos and then let him out of it because he looks annoyed. He wears a myriad of coats during the winter to go outside and potty in the rain or snow or walks and he doesn't seem to mind. He's a part of our family and we believe he enjoys the attention regardless an the pictures are cute as can be. People just need to listen to their pets. To the lady crying about the cat in a tutu, I'm sorry but get over it. People should probably not try to dress animals other than dogs, but if you're that broken up about it maybe you need to talk to a counselor. Just some advice.
I also have a reflective collar and matching leash in case she gets lose she is easy to see.

Comments On Feb 03, 2015:This is a very good quality piston. But if you have a stock bore size this will not fit your application. I ride a ktm so I can only speak for that app. You will have to find a piston with a 96.94-96.96mm piston and this is a 97.00mm.

Expectantly waiting part of Advent celebration

Marvin Lauterbach smiles as he works to untangle a garland with his son Brandon (left) and Bruce Timm (right) Sunday afternoon at Grace Lutheran Church in Everett. The church is celebrating the arrival of Advent with sermons about hope, promise, joy and peace.
Jennifer Buchanan / The Herald
Marvin Lauterbach makes his way up a ladder to hang a bell garland from the roof of the sanctuary at Grace Lutheran Church.
Even as church members participate in the annual Advent rites, some may not be aware of the long history of these religious practices.
"Advent is from the Latin, which means arrival," said Michael Williams, professor of comparative Religion and Near Eastern Languages at the University of Washington.
"This language of an arrival eventually begins to be attached to the Christmas season," he said.
Christmas as we think of it began to be practiced in the fourth century, at least as far as texts surviving from the early centuries of Christianity indicate, Williams said.
By that time, there was a practice of expectantly waiting, he said, with some historic sources talking about the practices apparently being modeled after Lenten traditions with a period of fasting and contemplation.
A council of about a dozen bishops met in Saragossa, Spain in 380, specifying a period of about three weeks before Epiphany, which celebrates the recognition of Christ's divine nature.
Everyone was to gather in a church as well as observe some periods of fasting and prayer. "The interesting thing about this is the context for this... was to ward off heresy," Williams said.
The idea was to have people gather in a public way, he said. At the time there was a well-known man engaged in interpretations of scripture and the Christian faith outside the direct control of the bishop, he said.
"The admonition to observe a predecessor of Advent was to make sure everybody gathered at the church for the celebration there," Williams said.
The theme of light has long been associated with Christmas, he said. "It's no accident that the dating of Jesus' birth was placed around the time of the winter solstice -- the beginning of light."
Some historic sources indicate that Jesus' birth initially may have been celebrated in the spring, but that later changed to occur near the winter solstice.
"It's a beautiful theme and the beginning of the next solar year," Williams said. "That's kind of a time to symbolically celebrate this entrance or arrival into human experience of the savior in the Christian tradition."
Over the centuries, Advent has taken on a variety of rich traditions.
By the 12th Century, Advent practices in Western Christianity had evolved to be more like what they are today, with a four-week period with specific prayers and readings, Williams said.
Yet even in modern times, Advent practices vary. Eastern Orthodox congregations, for example, have traditions about what's to be eaten on certain days and not others, Williams said.
In the Armenian Orthodox Church, the main religious event remains Epiphany on Jan. 6, which celebrates the recognition of Christ's divine nature.
The Rev. Dwight Schultz, the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Everett, said his Advent sermons are discussing the themes of hope, promise, joy and peace.
"At the very beginning, God promised Adam and Eve he would send a savior," Schultz said. Advent is a reminder that Christ is coming back "and we need to be ready for him," he said.
Faith is demonstrated by what happens outside the church doors, he said. "When you walk out those doors, that's where your Christian faith really starts."
"It's how are we engaged in our community. Faith is something that I have to do, to go down and help my neighbor."
Faith drives you to do something, he said. "It should come from the heart and willingly. That's what Christians are supposed to do."

The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations,more commonly referred to as Rhode Island. It is the smallest U.S. state by area. Rhode Island borders Connecticut to the west and Massachusetts to the north and east, and it shares a water boundary with New York's Fishers Island to the southwest. Despite the name, most of Rhode Island is on the mainland United States. Rhode Island's official nickname is "The Ocean State," a reference to the state's geography, since Rhode Island has several large bays and inlets that amount to about 30% of its total area. Rhode Island is an example of a cold winter humid continental climate with hot, rainy summers and chilly winters.

Nail art expert? Hopeless newbie? Whatever your skill level may be, we've rounded up another batch of the most awesome nail art designs. Prepare to be inspired
There are certain things in life that instantly boost my mood: the first bite of a red velvet cupcake, making it through all the green lights on my way to work, and ... nail art. Whether it's on my own nails, or somebody else's, nail art has this delightful way of lifting my spirits. So for our latest installment of awesome nail art, my fellow Beauty Riot editors and I have dug up some jaw-droppingly cool nail designs that you'll "ooh" and "ah" over.
Click here to see our cool nail art roundup.
With so much awesome nail art to choose from, it's hard to believe this trend was once considered borderline tacky. It used to be all about cheap rhinestones and acrylics, but now the focus is on really clever, artistic designs. That doesn't mean you have to have Picasso-like painting skills. Most of these nail design ideas are actually pretty easy to achieve and don't require a super steady hand. Even if they do feel on the advanced side, you can always get some great inspiration and ideas from these creative nail designs. After all, "Nail art is just for fun, and everybody needs more fun in their life," says celebrity nail artist Fleury Rose.
To learn the tips and tricks of the nail art trade, I chatted with Rose and another celebrity nail artist, Skyy Hadley, and they both gave me the scoop on everything from must-have tools to perfect polish suggestions. But before we get started with our roundup, I have to warn you: this nail art stuff is pretty addictive. Once you get the hang of it, you'll want more ... and more. And we're not gonna stop you.

OXFORD, Ohio—The Miami University football team suffered a 44-7 decision to the University at Buffalo (8-3; 6-1 Mid-American Conference) on Tuesday night at Yager Stadium.
Sophomore quarterback Drew Kummer scored the RedHawks' lone touchdown with 3:04 to go in the game. Senior running back Robert Williams III set up the score with a 47-yard run to take the ball down to the 1-yard line, and sophomore Kaleb Patterson capped the scoring with the extra point.
The rush quadrupled Williams' previous career-best carry, which was 11 yards on Oct. 13, 2012 at Bowling Green.
Freshman cornerback Heath Harding provided a defensive highlight for the RedHawks, preventing a Buffalo touchdown late in the third with an interception in the end zone with 3:23 left in the quarter.
The teams played a scoreless first quarter, but the Bulls got onto the board quickly in the second quarter as Alex Dennison scored on a 1-yard rush at the 14:20 mark. With the Patrick Clarke extra point, UB took a 7-0 lead and never looked back.
Buffalo went on to score three more touchdowns in the second quarter to push its lead to 28-0 at the half. The Bulls scored 16 second-half points on a trio of Patrick field goals and a fourth-quarter touchdown pass from Tony Daniel to Devon Hughes.
Three RedHawks registered double figures in tackles, led by sophomore linebacker Josh Dooley's 13 stops. Junior safety Brison Burris added 12 tackles, which included six solo tackles, while sophomore linebacker Tyler Tucker tallied 11 tackles, including six solo stops and 2.0 tackles for loss.
Miami (0-11; 0-7 MAC) concludes its season at Ball State at 1 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 29.

Having lost the Turkish Cup Final in agonising fashion against arch rivals Galatasaray, it probably wasn't the best time for anybody to face Fenerbahce as Nadezhda bore the brunt of their opponents' frustration in a 93-67 EuroLeague Women Group B defeat.
The hosts headed into the contest without the influential Cappie Pondexter who was so upset by the gut-wrenching, buzzer-beating loss to their foes from across the Bosphorus last weekend that she needed stitches in her hand after punching a glass panel in anger.
But, despite her absence, this frustration was channeled in the right way by her team-mates on the floor, as they crushed Nadezhda in quite brutal fashion via some excellent three-point shooting and transition scores.
Capitalising on their powerful opening, Fenerbahce led 28-14 after a triple by the effervescent Birsel Vardarli and never looked back.
When Nadezhda threatened to rally just before half-time and cut the gap to single figures, it was again Vardarli who dropped a three-ball to keep the momentum with Fener.
They remained firmly on top when they re-emerged for the second half, and despite an excellent 14 points and 17 rebounds from Zane Tamane against her former club, Nadezhda were unable to launch a fightback or stop the rot.
There were a string of fine displays from Fenerbahce players including Vardarli, whilst her backcourt partner Esmeral Tuncluer had 12 points and six assists.
Ivana Matovic continues to excel in the frontcourt with 18 points, nine rebounds and four assists.

The Dragonfly Abides
by Cathleen Falsani | August 2010
Dragonflies have a way of turning up at threshold moments -- like God's early warning system for amazing grace.
Tombolombo. That is the word for "dragonfly" in Chichewa, my son Vasco's native language. It was one of the first words Vasco taught me when he came from his native Malawi to live with us while he underwent lifesaving heart surgery in 2009.
Cathleen Falsani is author of The Dude Abides: The Gospel According to the Coen Brothers.

David Rohret — Senior Principle Systems Engineer at the Computer Sciences Corporation
When it comes to protecting federal networks, there's nothing like seeing what they look like to a would-be hacker. That's the approach our next guest took in helping create the Joint Capability Technology Demonstration Adaptive Red Team. It created realistic scenarios. And it won David Rare-it a Government Information Security Leadership Award.

DoD Reports
The Navy is holding a stand down to warn service members of prescription drug abuse. Marine Corps Times reports...Marines have to take four hours of standardized training. They'll learn about the side effects of mixing prescription drugs. And they'll discuss how medical providers should communicate constantly with each other so they don't prescribe a dangerous mix of medication. Service members will learn to look for warning signs...both with their own care and that of their unit. Medical officers say they're most worried about medications often prescribed for post-traumatic stress or brain injuries. Those include antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. (Marine Corps Times)
Cybersecurity Update
The Department of Homeland Security is reorganizing its cyber office. It will expand its three divisions to five...and create a performance-management office. Federal News Radio obtained a memo written by Assistant Secretary Mike Locatis. He says the new structure will make the cybersecurity office more agile and better equipped to partner with others. He says it should help make the nation's networks and communications infrastructure more secure. The Department is looking to take on additional cybersecurity responsibilities. A draft executive order would put it in charge of distributing intelligence on cyber threats to operators of electric grids and other critical infrastructure. (Federal News Radio)
An executive order on cybersecurity would require intelligence agencies to tip off companies operating electric grids and other vital infrastructure to cyber threats. Then the companies could secure their networks against the threats. The order is now seven pages. It puts the Department of Homeland Security in charge of information sharing. DHS would distribute unclassified versions of top-secret intelligence reports about cyber threats against specific targets. The White House is still finalizing the order. Officials would not tell the Associated Press when it would be released. (Associated Press)

DIXON — With his Southwest girls' soccer team having already clinched the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference title and the league's only automatic playoff berth, coach John Sweeney was looking for one thing in particular in the regular-season finale against Dixon on Friday.
"We wanted to do a better job of possessing the ball," Sweeney said after the Stallions' 1-0 win over the Bulldogs. "The conditions tonight and pressure from Dixon made it very difficult, but I think given those two factors, the girls did very well."
Thanks to a first-half penalty goal by Amanda McCurry, Southwest did well enough on a chilly and windy evening to emerge victorious against short-handed Dixon and finish conference play undefeated.
The Stallions (8-8-2, 6-0) will open defense of their NCHSAA 1-A title Tuesday or Wednesday in the first round. Southwest has been to the state final the last three years, also winning it all in 2010.
The Stallions, who played a tough nonconference schedule, believe they can make another deep postseason run.
"I've always said that if you are the top five or six teams in the state, then it's anybody's game," Sweeney said. "I do believe, despite our record and (not being ranked), that we are one of the top five or six teams in the state."
McCurry agreed that the Stallions can go far.
"I think as long as we play together we can compete with any 1-A team in the state," she said.
Meanwhile, Dixon (8-6-4, 3-2-1), which played without injured midfielders Allyna Ankney (toe) and Brianna Pollock (knee), ended second in the CPC and looks to garner a wild-card spot. The pairings will be announced Monday.
"With the selection process, you're never 100 percent sure," said Dixon coach Josh King, whose team lost 1-0 at Southwest on March 27. "I feel we deserve a spot and I feel like if we get a spot then we will put on a good run. My girls deserve it in my opinion."
The game's lone goal came with 25:38 left in the first half on McCurry's penalty kick. While McCurry scored on two PKs in a game against East Carteret earlier this season, the sophomore said she was nervous taking this big shot.
"I'm always nervous because anything can go wrong and all the pressure is on you," McCurry said. "But it's good to know that he (Sweeney) has the confidence that I can get the ball in the net, and I know my team has confidence in me."
McCurry took the PK after sophomore Alex Crow drew a foul inside the 18-yard line after she used her speed to make a run going forward toward the ball.
"Once she gets into space, Alex is hard to catch," Sweeney said. "I really felt on that play that what you saw was really good interplay between our forwards, Alex and Taylor (Marley), working together to spring her (Crow) into some space."
Down 1-0, the Bulldogs pushed hard for a goal, only to come up short.
Dixon appeared to have tied the game with about six minutes left when Carly Rochelle lofted a 30-yard shot from the left corner past Southwest goalkeeper Erika Ware, who left the net to run toward the ball.
The ball seemed headed toward the net, but it suddenly veered to the right, dancing along the goalline before it went out of play.
"She hustled for the ball on the sideline, took it away from a defender, the keeper came out real hard on the edge and Carly put a great strike on the ball," King said. "From my angle it was in, but it just curled right around the goal. I really thought it was in and I look up and it's rolling down the track on the back side. That was a little heartbreaking."
In the end, Southwest's defense had enough to hold back Dixon. Ware ended with three saves while Dixon's Miranda Davis made four saves.
"We knew it (a Dixon push) was coming, especially in the second half, and that they were going to give it their all," Southwest senior defender Faeth Wigfall said. "We had to give it our all a little bit more.
The Stallions' defense is experienced and has been key this season.
"Really, we just have to work together," Wigfall said. "We know where the ball is and how to be a step ahead and read it."
While the Stallions managed just one goal, Southwest helped its cause by playing well on the attack in the first half. The Stallions didn't always execute, but passed the ball with a purpose and made decent runs at the goal.
"I'm really pleased with how we've been moving the ball lately," Sweeney said. "It's something we've struggled with for a lot of the year, but things have started clicking the last couple of weeks for us."
And although McCurry would have liked for the Stallions to score again, she will take the victory.
"It's disappointing that we can't win off more than a penalty kick, but a win is a win, no matter what," she said.
Southwest 1 0— 1
Dixon 0 0— 0
GOALS—S: McCurry. ASSISTS—None. IN GOAL—S: Ware (3 saves). D: Davis (4 saves). SHOTS ON GOAL—S 6, D 3. CORNER KICKS—S 5, D 2. RECORDS—S: 8-8-2, 6-0, vs. TBA in state 1-A playoffs. D: 8-6-4, 3-2-1, TBA.

Thread: Whats a good teen fragrance?
Hi I'm new on base notes and am looking for some recommendations. I need something that will last 8+ hours and that is suitable for a 14 year old. I have Tommy Bahama Very Cool and Chanel Allure Homme Sport. I also like Azarro Chrome, Givenchy Play Sport, and Givenchy Pi Neo. Since I have a couple warmer weather fragrances, I want my next buy to be a bit heavier and more suitable for winter, but not so heavy that I kill my classmates. My budget is $100. I really appreciate any recommendations and I will be trying them out before I buy. Thanks in advance!
Justin Bieber

THis is a GREAT scent for teenager. I like it alot and I am in college. plus its only $5 to try it so you are not out if you don't like it the way you are with some of the other blindbuys you may make
Here is the description as borrowed from NOOKA.com
Nooka eau de parfum communicates a universal language that transcends opposites. A synergy of scents, both familiar and foreign, instinctive and original, mental and physical, that come together as one. Japanese Yuzu sprinkled with pink pepper. Polished steel wrapped in vintage leather. This fusion of natural essences and synthetic accords creates the next generation of precious liquids, expressing each wearer's multi-faceted individuality.
Burberry London
Rochas Man
Boss no6
Le Male
Arent you a little short for a stormtrooper?
1 million. With that being a teenager it is also recomended that you should be a gypsy. This fragrance suits that kind of people and that kind of people recognized it, well, in Croatia at least.
Le Male my 2nd suggestion, nothing much to say - check the reviews, check the forums (search bar)
Hugo Dark Blue - it's my "sin fragrance", that is - frag I enjoy a lot.
Play Intense by Givenchy - became almost a hype recently, lot of play intense threads lately - not a bad frag actually, you might give it a try
A*Men - apply carefully
Joop! Joop Homme - also apply carefully, and yes, at least here in this part of Europe it is worn by teens and mature men both.
Joop! Thrill Man - seldom if ever mentioned, which is a shame because it's a really appealing fragrance
Dolce & Gabbanna - The One and The One Gentleman
Carolina Herrera Chic for Men
Versace Pour Homme and/or Acqua di Gio

My sales thread
Play by Givenchy - Citrus abounds in the opening, with bergamot, mandarin orange, bitter orange and grapefruit. This wonderful interplay of semi-sweet and semi-bitter flavors, with an undercurrent of woods, is refreshing. The wrestling of the citrus and wood tumbles to its middle. The spicy heart usurps the citrus opening with its pepper, amyris wood and coffee flower, forming a musky, spicy and woody radiance, arousing a sexy aura. The oft-seen patchouli and vetiver base blends with the heart nicely, mellowing the woods and spice, and leads to its alluring drydown. This is a well-balanced composition, and has very good longevity and projection.
Anything from Escada (maybe except for PH). It's usually youthful, sweet and cheerful but also cheap and non-pretentious.
When I was a teenager (that was a while ago...) Tommy for Men was fairly popular, and it's a goo winter fragrance.
If you have the chance, check out Jack Wills, a British clothing house, they have a few very good fragrances marketed towards college boys. Their trademark one used to be a warm apple crumble type of scent, truly lovely and quite discreet.
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
You guys are giving home suggestions that are NOT suitable for 14 year old.
I will second Rochas man, diesel is a biggie in the teen group.. Girls will dig it, and if you want to feel a couple years older try le
And don't do adg, instead get perry Ellis red 360.
Burberry touch is good for you too.
The one they like. Could be anything. A teenager can easily be stronger, more connected, have a lot more worldly experience, etc, than most adults.
Mine at 14: Azzaro pour Homme, Paco Rabanne pour Homme, Drakkar Noir.
Last edited by pluran; 10th October 2012 at 11:13 AM.
Boss bottled, Lacoste Red, A*Men. If you where Givenchi Play Intense the ladies will be all over you man. If they have a sweet tooth. Coming from another 14 yeah old, by the way.
Try D&G The One Sport, more woodsy/spicy instead of the citrusy/ginger of Givenchy Play Sport.

I remember in ancient history class in high school studying the Assyrians, the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Hittites, the Persians, etc. Strangely enough, we never covered the Israelites and their great empire under David and Solomon. In fact, it seemed like Israel was always a province of one empire or another.
Do fundies ever specify when this great Israelite empire was supposed to be?

Kansas Cucumber Salad Recipe
5 15
Cucumbers are my very favorite garden vegetable, so I use this recipe often. I got it from a friend 8 years ago. I've heard this refreshing dish keeps very well in the refrigerator, but it goes so fast around our house, I've never found out for myself. -Karen Ann Bland, Gove, Kansas
- 1 cup Miracle Whip
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 4 teaspoons cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
- 4 medium cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 green onions, chopped
- In a large bowl, combine Miracle Whip, sugar, vinegar, dill and salt if desired; mix well. Add cucumbers and onions; toss. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour. Yield: 8 servings.

The only change I make is to use large onions, instead of the small green onions. We like the onions almost as much as the cucumbers. This makes plenty of dressing, so I use 5 or 6 cucumbers."

He is currently 2nd in the league in Assist % (above Chris Paul but behind only Rondo).
http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/20...campaign=sm_twThe smile is unmistakable, even on the court, even during the most intense of games. Greivis Vasquez plays with the same enthusiasm that prompted him to nearly sprint to the stage three years ago in New York when he was drafted in the first round by the Grizzlies.
Fast-forward to this season. The NBAs only player from baseball-crazed Venezuela, where Miguel Cabrera and Andres Galarraga are the standards for sports heroes, appears to have found a home with the New Orleans Hornets.
A leading candidate for Most Improved Player, Vasquez is fourth in the league in assists (8.8 per game). As the starting point guard for the youthful but talented Hornets, Vasquez has flourished in his role as floor leader. He scored 25 points as the Hornets snapped a seven-game losing streak with a win Tuesday against the Clippers.
The Hornets are an organization in transition, with Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers as their rookie anchors while they wait for potential cornerstone Eric Gordon to come back from knee issues. Without a true point guard after the departure of Chris Paul, Vasquez received his first full-time starting job. So far, he is taking advantage of the chance.
I am blessed to have this opportunity that I have right now, he said. I do appreciate what coach Monty Williams is doing with me. Hes giving me a great amount of responsibility and hes letting me play. Hes letting me develop my game and showing the NBA what Im capable of doing.
And, to me, right now, Ive still got so much room to get better. I can lead this team to win more games.
He is currently 2nd in the league in Assist % (above Chris Paul but behind only Rondo).
He's currently 20th in Assist/TO ratio which is more important to me considering he doesn't do anything else well.
I know we complain about Greivis' turnovers a lot, but he has a lower % than Rondo has had for the past 3 seasons.
I am really happy with how Greivis has played offensively. I think he'd look better on both sides of the ball, but especially defensively, with Gordon out there.
I'm not trying to say he hasn't been horrible on defense, because he has. However, I'm just saying that I think that he's played very well given the circumstances. I think Vasuqez would look much better on defense if Gordon was there. Look at who his guard counterparts have been on defense this year. Then also consider we've been missing Davis for a majority of the season, and our pick n roll defense is much, much worse than it should be.
All I'm saying is, I'm happy with Vasquez given the circumstances. He's not a starter, but he's a damn good back up.
I am probably one of the few here who think with the right cast GV is starter quality. He has noticeably progressed and is getting better with each game. And he has the drive to continue to get better. With better wings his defensive deficiencies won't be as apparent. Also I believe with more and more experience and chemistry the turnovers will decrease and assist will increase. Leaving his shooting, well as many have said in regards to aminu and rivers, shooting is the easiest to improve. I say he is our starter for some time unless a nice trade comes along.
Drive up your trade value Gravy!
Wow, a breakout season? Really? Who writes this stuff.
Emeka Okafor - Joe Smith - Carmelo Anthony - Manu Ginobili - Jason Williams
Al Jefferson - James Posey - Aaron McKie - Shaun Livingston
Rather see him gone.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
Hes too unathletic not to be a great shooter if that makes any sense. If he cant defend or shoot, and hes not fast or athletic.. hes not good enough. Hes got way more shortcomings than qualities.
I'm a huge Vasquez fan since he came from UMD and have watched literally every game he has played in in college and the NBA. From what I've seen out of Greivis in the NBA so far I feel he isn't playing with the same enthusiasm and passion he did in college. No way am I saying he is not as interested or in love with the game, but he hasn't shown the fire that he did with the Terps. Being such a limited player athletically, I feel he used his emotional energy to step his game up and compete. On Monday I got a little nostalgic watching him shoot those pull up threes and play with a little more swagger and confidence jawing at the clips fans at the end of the game. The performance he had against LA is what I expect from him at a minimum, honestly. Not numbers wise, but with that physicality and aggressiveness. He seems like a different player when he doesn't play 150% every night. At Maryland he was the General and took over every game whenever he wanted, now at the next level he is playing cautious and afraid to play too hard. I have to say he is improving every game and starting to play more like I'd like him too, though. I hope he continues to do well and play like he used to. Of course my thoughts are very biased, so don't mind me if I sound dumb.
Here are some videos that I watch before Vasquez plays lol hoping to see some repeats
He can be a decent defender when he is aggressive and alert in college and the nba
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjWd92XE1Rw skip to 3:39, he drained it to the tune of "Deport Vasquez!" I believe
Love this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGc4KaPS3fw notice the fans "booooo" when vasquez had the ball and "oooohhh" when he passed it on the last play. every acc team hated him
He was famous for his "shimmy" at MD as well, surprised there arent more videos of it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cui-p0_efMI the guy at 0:33 knows whats up in his draft video

No but we are a winning team based on other players talents. And that is how a pg should be gauged, with wins and the performance of his teammates due to him facilitating. We don't need him to be the best player on our team. Many of teams have been championship teams without their pg as the first second or third option.
My points are that:
He will become a better shooter with work- he has shown the aptitude to be a hard worker.
He will be a better passer and scorer with chemistry and superior talent causing better spacing.
With experience he will make less stupid passes.
He won't be focal point of offense when Gordon returns therefore he won't try to play outside his abilities.
Gordon has the ability to bring ball up if they decide to press GV. Less turnovers.
With more athletic wings defensive switches will occur if there is a obvious mismatch.
Faster rotations by the other wings will help compensate if he is too slow.
Along with several more reasons.
GV is perfectly fine at running this team and if he continues to progress Rivers will not be unseating him before 2-3 more years. Fact is hornets fans are spoiled when they thinkof pg play. Is he a world beater no, but he definitely is good enough and with 2 more years of experience undoubtedly.
i feel like some of u guys think we are going to have an all star at every position lol...i mean this kid is pretty much just starting his career in the nba as a starter and i think hes doing a dam good job of it considering the circumstances he has to work with...were u expecting chris paul results??...yea he is a bit slower than some but he has a killer instinct on big shots and aint scared of the big moment..4th in assist is pretty dam good if u ask me..again considering the circumstances with this team...even tho he is 20th in in assist/turnover ratio there are 30 nba teams so he is a starting pg in this league...can u guys name 29 pg's that u would rather have over this kid?? i think not...cut this kid a break and appreciate his wanting to be here and caring about winning...we can win with this kid at pg there is no doubt in my mind we can
I love having Vasquez on the team, he is a beast, smart, his shooting is getting better too
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
RIP HunnyB
This fits HunnyB/FlyGirl so well- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzTiSEfM00
Early in the summer, hornets247 blog predicted Vasquez to be most improved hornets this season. They considered the fact that with Gordon and Davis, his assists will increase a lot.
Now it is after 15 games played. Look at how many games Gordon and Davis played with Vasquez and how many assists he got. Vasquez also contributes 13 points a game.
We have to say he did it not because he relied on his teammates to give him assists.
Thank you, Vasquez.

Drug Overdose
The Basics
Overdose is the number one injury-related killer among adults ages 35-54.
More than 22,400 people died following an accidental drug overdose in 2005.
Nationally, accidental drug overdose deaths more than doubled between 1999 and 2005.
More people died in the U.S. from overdose in 2006 than from HIV/AIDS or homicide.
Accidental drug overdose is currently the leading cause of injury-related death in the United States for people between the ages of 35-54 and the second leading cause of injury-related death for young people. Drug overdose deaths now exceed those attributable to firearms, homicides or HIV/AIDS. Most of these deaths are preventable, but the "tough on crime" rhetoric of the drug war and the stigma associated with drug use have blocked the widespread adoption of life-saving overdose prevention policies, including Good Samaritan 911 legislation and distribution of the overdose reversal medication naloxone. DPA is leading the national effort to reduce drug overdose deaths by promoting sensible solutions and better policy at the state and federal level.

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Phoenix Suns forward P.J. Tucker was sentenced to three days in jail and 11 days of home detention Monday after pleading guilty to "super extreme" driving under the influence.
"I am truly sorry and I take full responsibility for my actions. No excuses," Tucker said in a statement. "It is now my responsibility to examine my life and make the changes necessary to ensure this never happens again."
Police say Tucker had a blood alcohol level of .22 after he was arrested May 10 in Scottsdale.
Tucker agreed to put an interlock device on his car for 18 months, undergo substance abuse counseling and pay fines of $2,750. He was placed on probation for up to five years.
"In considering this matter, we concluded that P.J. was sincere in his remorse and in his resolve to accept the consequences of his actions," Suns president of basketball operations Lon Babby said. "We are convinced that he will take the necessary steps to avoid any such conduct in the future. The Suns do not in any way condone his conduct, but we do support him as he works through this."
Tucker's Mercedes Benz was pulled over by a Scottsdale police officer, and the police report said his speech was slurred, his eyes were bloodshot and he nearly fell over during the sobriety test.
The Suns were aware of the arrest when Tucker signed a three-year, $16.5 million contract in early July.
Tucker wrote of how blessed he was and that he was grateful no one was hurt.
He said the process of making life changes has begun "and will continue with the support of my family, friends and, of course, the amazing Phoenix Suns."
"I will not let you down," his statement concluded.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. – In Building 1555, workers help guide a wing toward the Pegasus XL launch vehicle for a fit check. The Pegasus will launch NASA's Interstellar Boundary Explorer Mission, or IBEX, satellite from Kwajalein Island in the Marshall Islands, South Pacific. IBEX will make the first map of the boundary between the solar system and interstellar space. IBEX is the first mission designed to detect the edge of the solar system. As the solar wind from the sun flows out beyond Pluto, it collides with the material between the stars, forming a shock front. IBEX contains two neutral atom imagers designed to detect particles from the termination shock at the boundary between the solar system and interstellar space. IBEX also will study galactic cosmic rays, energetic particles from beyond the solar system that pose a health and safety hazard for humans exploring beyond Earth orbit. IBEX will make these observations from a highly elliptical orbit that takes it beyond the interference of the Earth's magnetosphere. Photo credit: NASA/Randy Beaudoin

Midwest Living Review
The Historic Haymarket is Lincoln's main entertainment district. Tucked into a cluster of renovated brick warehouses on the western edge of downtown Lincoln, the development is adjacent to the University of Nebraska and was one of the nation's first such revitalized districts. Like most entertainment districts, the Haymarket features restaurants (about a dozen), bars, boutiques, coffee shops and bookstores, plus apartments on the buildings' upper floors. One of the district's more impressive buildings is Lincoln Station, a railroad depot on the Haymarket's west end that today also houses a restaurant and the Lincoln Convention and Visitors Bureau. The nearby Railyard development incorporates restaurants, bars, and an open beverage garden anchored by the "Cube," a giant video screen wrapped around a corner of the building. Because of its proximity to the University of Nebraska, the Haymarket can get quite crowded, especially before and after Husker football games and, to a lesser extent, Husker and Saltdog baseball games. (The Saltdogs are a member of the American Association of Independent Professional Baseball; both teams play at Haymarket Park, north of the Haymarket and accessible by an architecturally impressive pedestrian bridge.) Even when there are crowds, though, there's generally ample parking throughout the Haymarket on its brick streets and in nearby lots. Some streets are blocked off for the Saturday farmers market, mid-May through October.

FACTS & STATS: Site: Gerald J. Ford Stadium (32,000) -- Dallas, Texas. Television: Fox Sports. Home Record: USM 0-5, SMU 3-2. Away Record: USM 0-4, SMU 1-3. Neutral Record: USM 0-0, SMU 0-0. Conference Record: USM 0-5, SMU 3-2. Series Record: Southern Miss leads, 3-0.
GAME NOTES: The Southern Miss Golden Eagles continue to search for their first win of the season when they head to Gerald J. Ford Stadium for a Conference USA bout with the SMU Mustangs.
The Golden Eagles dropped to 0-9 overall and 0-5 in league play last week as they let a 16-0 halftime lead slip away and were defeated, 27-19, by UAB in Hattiesburg. Southern Miss was expected to have a rebuilding year after winning the C-USA last season. Its best performance came against the league leading UCF Knights, which USM managed to take into double overtime before coming up short. Southern Miss is going to finish under .500 for the first time in its C-USA history, which dates back to 1996.
SMU is trying to become bowl eligible for a program record fourth season in a row. The Mustangs need to win two of their last three games for that to happen. Coach June Jones and his team departed Orlando with a disappointing 42-17 loss to UCF last week. The Knights ended SMU's two-game winning streak and completely halted the red hot offensive attack.
Southern Miss has history on its side heading into this one. The Golden Eagles hold a 3-0 edge in their all-time series with SMU. The Mustangs managed just a field goal in their 27-3 loss to Southern Miss last season.
The cause of the Golden Eagles' lack of success so far is very clear. Southern Miss is just 10th in scoring offense (19.2 ppg) and total offense (319.6 ypg) after finishing second in the conference in both categories last season. Southern Miss has been especially weak through the air, averaging only 147.2 yards per game, which is the worst in the C-USA.
The quarterback situation has been a shifting one for Southern Miss this season with the lack of production through the air. USM is the only team in the FBS to start four different QBs this season. Anthony Alford was under center last week and went 10-of-26 for 112 yards with an interception. The dual threat freshman also gained 45 yards on the ground and produced his sixth rushing touchdown of the season. Alford leads the team with 550 passing yards and six rushing TDs.
With inconsistency at quarterback, Southern Miss' receivers have been unable to create any chemistry. Tracey Lampley (17 receptions, 261 yards) is the team's most productive wideout, despite his modest numbers.
Desmond Johnson has been the team's featured back, rushing for 460 yards on 82 carries to lead the conference's fourth best rushing offense. Johnson did not play last week which gave Jalen Richard a chance to carry the ball nine times for 82 yards and a score.
The Golden Eagles are not much better on the other side of the ball with allowed averages of 38.2 points and 431.9 yards per contest, which rank sixth and 10th in the C-USA, respectively. USM has recorded three takeaways (five fumble recovers, one interception) over its past two games.
Jamie Collins has been one of the lone bright spots on the team as he has amassed 73 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and nine sacks. Collins is tied for first in the conference in sacks and tackles for loss.
Despite having all-conference running back Zach Line healthy this season, SMU has passed for more than twice as many yards (2,271) as it has run for (1,066). Line has accounted for nearly all of that production on the ground with 940 yards and six touchdowns on 194 carries. No other running back has more than 10 attempts. Line is second in the conference in yards per game (104.4) and trails only Eric Dickerson in the school's record books with 3,847 career rushing yards.
The Mustangs' passing game is operated by the gun-slinging Garrett Gilbert, who has thrown for 2,011 yards this season. The former Texas starting QB needs to quickly hone his suspect decision-making which has led to 12 touchdowns against 13 interceptions. Gilbert was shut down by UCF last week and finished 16-of-29 for a season-low 133 yards. He did manage to rush for two TDs for the second straight week in the losing effort.
Gilbert has been able to keep a few of his teammates involved, with four different receivers plus Line having at least 20 receptions and 250 yards. Jeremy Johnson leads all receivers in receptions (55), yards (564) and his tied for touchdown receptions (three). Darius Johnson is the second option with 48 receptions for 532 yards and three scores. De'Rikk Thompson also has three touchdown grabs and 319 yards on only 23 catches.
Like this week's foe, SMU has also been victim to large offensive numbers by the opposition, as teams are racking up 401.2 yards and 28.3 points per game. What SMU has been able to do very effectively to keep opponents at bay is force other teams into miscues. After recovering one UCF fumble last week, SMU has forced 28 turnovers this season, which is tops not only in the conference but tied for first in the nation. Nine of those turnovers have been cashed in for defensive TDs, which also is the most in the FBS.
Randall Joyner and Kenneth Acker have each nabbed three interceptions this season, while Joyner also has a team-best total of 60 total tackles. Taylor Reed (eight tackles for loss, four sacks) and Margus Hunt (six tackles for loss, five sacks) have been effective up front as well.
Although Southern Miss is certainly hungry for a win, there is too much instability on the offensive side of the ball right now. SMU will pound away with Line and take one step closer to a possible postseason birth.
