We are situated in the Niton Undercliff which has its own micro climate with lush vegetation and the lovely Ventnor Botanical Gardens. A very historic Island, from pre-Roman to Victorian times and on, there is much to see and do, from grand houses to Roman villas, castles to modern day activities.
Ventnor is a beautiful Victorian Town and seafront with a safe sandy beach nestling at the foot of St.Boniface Down. The town has a variety of restaurants and eating places to suit all tastes, and there is a gorgeous walk on the flat beside the sea from Ventnor to Monks Bay, Bonchurch. The Undercliff is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. There are many footpaths for exploring this area that include St.Catherine's Lighthouse and Castle Haven Bay with its many local fishing boats. For a refreshing rest the Buddle Inn is ideal for a drink or a meal. Local activities include walking, swimming, para-gliding, fossil hunting and many more. Blackgang Chine with its popular theme park is only approx. one and a half miles away.

"Spotless, comfortable and pretty cottage."
We stayed for a week at 'The Bothy' and really wished it was for longer. The owners are so welcoming- nothing was too much trouble. The cottage was spotlessly clean, kitchen had everything you would need, a full sized cooker and fridge. The cottage comes with a private mini conservatory- perfect for meals at the bistro table. We had use of the beautiful garden also- garden furniture provided. The area was so quiet and with gorgeous views. Within walking distance of a decent pub- which did decent evening meals. The only minor thing was the bathroom roof has a slope- my 6'3" husband had to bend his head in the shower! The shower itself is very hot, and a bit tricky to adjust until you get hang of it. But a small price to pay for a lovely place. Definitely recommend and we will be returning.

Lebanon army kills 'Al-Qaeda-linked jihadist'
Published on Jan 23, 2014 11:15 PM
BEIRUT (AFP) - Lebanese soldiers shot and killed a jihadist suspected of belonging to Al-Qaeda-linked groups after he opened fire on them in the country's eastern Bekaa valley, the army said on Thursday.
"While carrying out searches for individuals suspected of involvement in terrorist acts, particularly car bombings, and after receiving a tip, the army set up a checkpoint on Wednesday afternoon to arrest Palestinian Ibrahim Abdel Moati Abu Moaylaq," the army said.
"He tried to flee in his car, hitting a soldier, and then opened fire on the checkpoint to cover his escape, wounding an officer," the statement added.
"The soldiers responded with fire, mortally wounding him, while his accomplice was able to escape."

Jeff Zrebiec Rumors
Zrebiec On Bedard, Roberts
The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec was recently named Rumor Royalty for the Orioles. Here's the last in a series of questions we asked him.
MLBTR: Erik Bedard and Brian Roberts are elite players under team control through 2009. If you had to guess, will both be playing for the Orioles on Opening Day 2008?
Zrebiec: Yes, I would guess that both will be Orioles on Opening Day. I've been surprised about the lack of trade buzz surrounding Roberts. I can't help but think that it is because O's owner Peter Angelos has already nixed one deal involving Roberts last year and has made his fondness for the second baseman known. I just think Roberts means more to the Orioles than he would to any other team and I don't see MacPhail moving him unless he's totally overwhelmed. And even then, good luck convincing Angelos to sign off on the deal.
Bedard is a little trickier. MacPhail and Mark Pieper, Bedard and Roberts' agent, have been talking "conceptually" about an contract extension for Bedard. I think people in the organization are split on whether they should secure long term the team's first legit ace since Mike Mussina or trade him and get multiple major league ready young players in return to a roster that is badly in need of them. If Bedard's contract demands aren't reasonable, that could make their decision for them. But even if that's the case, I don't see the O's in a hurry to do anything since Bedard is still under contractual control for two more seasons.

Zrebiec On O's and Free Agents
The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec was recently named Rumor Royalty for the Orioles. Jeff answered a few questions for MLBTR.
MLBTR: Andy MacPhail has said he doesn't expect to be in on many free agents, but there was a rumor that the O's are entertaining Jose Guillen [note: written prior to debunking]. Do you expect them to spend any money on free agents this winter?
Zrebiec: First, the Guillen report was inaccurate. He's exactly the type of player the Orioles are not interested in at this stage. As for other free agents, I see the Orioles making a couple of small, low price/low risk signings to fill out their roster.
For example, I could see them signing a veteran starter on the cheap, somebody in the Steve Trachsel mold. I wouldn't rule out them signing a reliever, though it won't be at anywhere close to the contracts they gave out last year for Bradford, Walker and Baez. And if Tejada is traded and I fully expect him to be, signing a guy like Cesar Izturis could appeal to them. They've liked him in the past.
But for the most part, I think you'll see them try to fill their holes in trades and then patching a couple of spots up with one or two signings. I think it was telling that MacPhail didn't have one extensive meeting with an agent at the GM meetings.

Zrebiec On Miguel Tejada
I recently named the Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec as Rumor Royalty for the Orioles. He was kind enough to answer a few questions for the site.
MLBTR: Give us an example of a reasonable trade bounty for a team acquiring Miguel Tejada. Do you think the Orioles are targeting a certain number of players or certain positions? If the acquiring team intended to move him to third base, would this become a problem?
Zrebiec: All indications are that the Orioles are still looking for two high-level prospects for Tejada. I'm not sure they'll get that now with Tejada's defensive concerns and declining power numbers, but that could change when Miguel Cabrera is no longer on the market. The Orioles are in desperate need for young position player talent, but president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail has acknowledged that he is in no position to discriminate. He wants to bring in as much young talent as possible this offseason, regardless of position. "We'll sort it out later," he has said.
Tejada has given conflicting answers in the past about whether he'll move to 3B. He has made it clear that he'd prefer to stay at shortstop. However, he has also said that he would make the move for a playoff-caliber team. I don't foresee it being a problem at all. Everybody that knows Miguel insists that all he wants to do is win, and he'll do what he has to do to make that happen.

Rumor Royalty: Jeff Zrebiec (Orioles)
Rumor Royalty is an MLBTR feature that honors the best journalist for each team in terms of hot stove material. The Newark Star-Ledger's Dan Graziano recently snagged the honor for the Yankees.
The choice for the Baltimore Orioles was really easy for me. The Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec owns Orioles hot stove chatter; he gets all the scoops. Here's a link to the Sun's baseball page, where his work can be found. I asked Jeff three hot stove questions, which will be posted here separately over the next couple of days.

Winn to Assume New Role with M-Club
March 28, 2014
University of Memphis Director of Athletics Tom Bowen has announced that long-time administrator Bob Winn has accepted a new role with the M-Club.
Winn has amassed over 40 years of distinguished service as a member of the Tigers' athletic department. Most recently he served as the Associate Athletic Director for External Affairs where he oversaw media relations, marketing and the Memphis spirit squads while also managing outside contracts and the department's relationship with Tiger Sports Properties.
"Bob Winn has made a tremendous impact on the University of Memphis over the past four decades," Bowen said. "We are grateful for his contributions and appreciate his willingness to continue in a new role with the M-Club. Developing meaningful relationships with our former student-athletes is a priority for us and Bob's historical knowledge, experience and long-standing relationships with many former Tigers will be major assets in this effort."
Winn will be charged with assisting M-Club Director Dwight Boyd with increasing membership and creating new avenues for engagement with former Tigers. Winn will be responsible for creating a monthly M-Club newsletter, updating the directory and adding content to the M-Club website. He will assist with the coordination of reunions, special events and the annual M-Club Hall of Fame banquet.
He will continue in his role as curator of the Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway Athletics Hall of Fame and will coordinate all tours of the Hall of Fame exhibits. He will assist with the nominations process for Hall of Fame inductions and will also aid in the nomination of former U of M student-athletes for national hall of fames.
"It's hard to believe that 40 years have passed since I started working at the University of Memphis," Winn said. "I guess that when you really enjoy what you are doing, it's not really considered work but a passion.
"I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to Athletic Director Tom Bowen and his staff for allowing me to continue to do what I love; working with our student-athletes, Tiger alums and fans and media members who have all become dear friends over the years.
"Dwight Boyd and I have spoken several times already about our mission to locate and reconnect with all of our former student-athletes. We are driven to get the Tiger family together."
Winn is a 1974 graduate of then-Memphis State and has spent his entire professional career with the University of Memphis athletic department. He spent 17 years as the Assistant Athletic Director for Media Relations where he helped in the promotion of nearly 50 All-Americans. He has also served as the tournament host for numerous NCAA and conference tournaments and has been the media coordinator for the PGA Tour stop in Memphis for the past 40 years.
Winn was inducted in the All-American Football Foundation Hall of Fame in May of 1998, receiving the Scoop Hudgins Award for media relations. In 2008 he received the Herbert L. Williams Outstanding Career Achievement Award from the U of M National Journalism Association.

amino acids? what the....?
October 12, 2009#1
Friends hubby hit me with a new question…instead of "where do you get your protien from ?" like everyone else he says" where do you get your amino acids from?" so I blithely answered…" duh….dont know." anyone?
October 13, 2009#2
Hi Omshanti,
Amino acids are linked with peptide bonds to form proteins. Sooo, tell hubby that any food source of protein is a food source of amino acids. And that's not just "male answer syndrome"!!

Reince Priebus, chairman of the Republican National Committee, speaks on a panel during the 41st annual Conservative Political Action Conference at the Gaylord International Hotel and Conference Center on March 8, 2014 in National Harbor, Maryland.
Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that former President Bill Clinton was being hypocritical when the he criticized Dick Cheney for voicing his opinion about the Obama administration's response to Iraq. Earlier in the week at the Clinton Global Initiative, Clinton told David Gregory, "Mr. Cheney, for the last six years, has been blaming the current administration for not cleaning up the mess that he's made."
"These guys are hypocrites," Priebus responded, saying that the Clintons never hold back from sharing their views. "I think people are quite tired of this show," Priebus said, adding that the American public was suffering from "Hillary fatigue." "This early run for the White House is going to come back and bite them," he said. Priebus opined that working class Americans are also tired of the claims that the Clintons are just like them. "People respect folks who work hard and earn their money," Priebus said.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Tuesday said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi is cheating the people and trying to gain sympathy by calling himself a victim of caste discrimination.
"He is saying that he comes from a backward class so people are targeting him. What about the riots and killings that he promotes? Is he coming from a backward class to do all this?" asked Lalu.
"He is cheating the people and just trying to gain their sympathy for garnering votes. Now, why would anyone vote for a cheater?" he asked.
Earlier in the day, Modi tweeted claiming that he was targeted as he belonged to a backward class.
In reply to Congress president, Sonia Gandhi's daughter Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's barb aimed at him for practicing 'low-level' of politics yesterday, Modi has tweeted stating that he was targeted as he belonged to a backward caste, "I belong to lower caste of society, that is why they think my politics is 'low-level' politics."
While campaigning for BJP candidate Smriti Irani in Amethi on Monday, Modi accused the Congress party of being arrogant, and criticised former prime minister, Rajiv Gandhi, for being arrogant, reminding the public as to how he publicly humiliated former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, T. Anjaiah at airport when Rajiv Gandhi was a General Secretary of the party.
Hitting back at Modi, Priyanka had said, "They have insulted my martyred father on the soil of Amethi. People of Amethi will never forgive them for this act. Workers in Amethi will reply to their (BJP's) low-level politics. There will be reply from each of the booths."

Is private schooling worth the expense to some of you? Or is public schooling the way to go?
Private vs. public schools...
You can't have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
public schools in the north are usually rated well, but public schools in the south usually aren't. that's why a lot of the time people in the north send their kids to public schools regardless of income, but in the south people will go in debt for private schools.
We moved from Chicago to the burbs because we knew we would have to pay private school if we were living in the city. I know a lot of families who have chosen to move for the school systems. We now are in a great district, that would rival some of the private schools we were looking at in the city. If we decided to stay in the city we would have had to suck it up and pay for private. I think it all depends where you live.
Our kids all went/go to Catholic schools and I think it has been money well spent. We haven't had to go into debt for it, but it has definitely impacted our lifestyle. But, it is something we feel really strongly about and they have gotten excellent educations. Our school district is beyond deplorable, there's no way on earth I'd ever send our kids there, so we would've had to move to send them to public school.
But even in the good school districts I think private schools have an edge because of the nature of the beast. Private schools are not desperately trying to meet state standards in order to keep their funding. They don't teach to the test. There's more critical thinking, more teaching kids to think. And, while certainly not all the parents are stellar, for the most part because everyone is shelling out money for their kid to be there, education is important to them. So, what you've got is a bunch of kids who by and large show up every morning with some breakfast in their stomachs, lunch in a bag, their homework in their backpack and parents who expect them to do well - and that allows the teachers to teach. Which is something you don't always get in public schools.
Our two oldest are in college now and I will say their high schools were heavily courted by colleges and they both received excellent scholarship offers from multiple schools. So, for us it paid off- we paid for high school, but college has actually been cheaper for us.
Discuss Catholicism and Catholic life in a fun and tolerant atmosphere!
I see no point in anyone sending their child to a private school if they live in an awesome school district.
^ Because even awesome school districts are still test-obsessed, have large class sizes, face the sorts of fiscal pressures leading to program cuts, and might have a few so-so teachers employed there.
You can't have a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.
We researched schools heavily when we bought our house, and bought accordingly. Our local public school has better stats and better personal stories than the local private schools.
DH went to a Catholic school preK-12, and his mom considers it money well-spent... but DH doesn't. His cousins went to the local public and got more options, better colleges, and better education. He said there's no way we'd consider Catholic school.
Some people mistakenly conflate "private" with "better." But the lack of restrictions means you REALLY have to do your homework to find out the truth of a school before paying to go.

Seeing God at Yankee Stadium
When I caught a foul ball at a baseball game, I felt the divine presence—and it changed my whole life
The night I caught a soaring foul ball at Yankee Stadium was the night I heard God speak to me. The magic of the moment was so exhilarating I lost sight of its spiritual power at the time, as fans nearby cheered and I basked in the joy of my feat. About 48 foul balls are hit on the ground and in the air during an average game, according to statisticians, but television or radio announcers rarely capture the personal feelings associated with a catch, and you never read about what a foul-ball catch meant to a fan in the next day's Sports section.
Maybe that's because what it means isn't apparent right away. Much as the biblical Jacob realized only after a dream-filled night in the desert that God was in "this place," a moment in Genesis where the Torah suggests that the divine is everywhere, I came to accept a similar insight about my night at the ballpark only after the fact. Like Jacob, I saw in hindsight the sacredness of my experience. That mystical catch, that one amazing second, would empower me to settle longstanding issues with my father and move forward in my career. Over the decades since I caught that ball, I've come back to that moment during times of self-doubt, or when I've felt stuck, remembering how it felt to be so close to God.
Family and business always went together for my father. When I was little—first in Seattle, where I was born, and later in San Francisco, where we moved when I was 6—he'd recount stories about working before the war with his father in Glubokoe, Poland (now Belarus), in a small shop where they sold wheat flour and other ground grains. After the war, my father and his brother, the only relatives to survive the Holocaust, came to the United States, where an uncle who'd immigrated decades earlier got them started in the residential construction business. Through the booming 1960s and '70s, they grew comfortably prosperous running separate property-management companies. But my father's traumatic past led to frequent bouts of depression, and when my brothers and I were kids our mother warned us constantly not to do anything that would "upset Daddy." We learned early on to tread carefully around him.
As the eldest son, I was recruited now and then to sit shotgun in Dad's Dodge station wagon as he made his rounds. We'd buy 5-gallon buckets of paint and visit apartment managers or check with carpenters who were building 2-bedroom duplexes in the East Bay. During high-school vacations, when I came home sweaty from an honest day's work, Dad beamed. But I found the work boring: painting interiors of rental units, pulling weeds out of cracks in driveways, or carrying loads of two-by-fours to carpenters.
Even though Dad wanted me to go into the family business, I had other plans; at 24, I got my first job as a reporter at a small California newspaper. A few years later I accepted an East Coast newspaper job and moved across the country to Hartford. But Dad never lost hope I'd return. He tried to lure me with more money, my home state's idyllic weather, and Jewish guilt. "Jeff and I could really use your help," he'd say, referring to my brother, the only one of Dad's three sons who joined the firm. I always hedged, fearful I would upset him if I flatly rejected his offers. "I don't know, maybe someday," I'd say, confident my wishy-washy reply would buy me a few years before facing his nagging questions again. Deep down, I feared too that a move home would feel like traveling back in time, returning to a relationship where Dad once again treated me like a little kid, even if he wanted me to be his partner in business.
My friend Irwin had joined the same East Coast paper a few months after me. But while he eventually landed a magazine job in Manhattan a few years later, I was moving slowly up the journalistic ladder, unable to make the same kind of breakthrough career move. Therapists suggested I was unconsciously self-sabotaging my career, allowing guilty feelings to punish me for not helping my father in the business.
In the meantime, I married my girlfriend Julia, who'd moved across the country with me, and two years later we had a baby. I felt frustrated with my job, but quitting wasn't an option—Julia had started graduate school, and I had a child to support. Adult life suddenly felt overrated. Now in my 30s, I still felt guilty about leaving my father and his business on the West Coast, but I also felt trapped and stymied in my career on the East Coast.
A few months after Irwin moved to Manhattan, I went to visit. We met at his Park Avenue magazine office, and I was dumbstruck with admiration and envy during the quick tour. His office had an expansive view of Midtown, and he casually referenced his fabulous expense account. (It was the 1980s, when fabulous expense accounts were not uncommon in publishing.)
From there, we went to the ball game and settled into our seats on the second deck above right field, just beyond first base. I felt giddy being at Yankee Stadium for a night game, the May air electric with the buzz of fans all around. As we sipped beers and cracked peanuts, dropping shells near our feet, we talked about life, work, and our dreams, while the Yankees battled the Seattle Mariners.
Indelible memories from my early childhood in Seattle ran through my mind: hydroplanes landing on Lake Washington, holding Dad's hand as we walked by docked ferries on Puget Sound, smelling sea water and fish and chips. So, while I watched the Mariners, I thought about my father. He's the one who took me to my first baseball game, when I was 11, after we moved: The San Francisco Giants played the then-Houston Colt 45s—although to be accurate, I felt like I took my dad since, as an immigrant, he had no understanding of the game.
That night at Yankee Stadium with Irwin, a left-handed batter for Seattle kept fouling pitches. One flew toward us. Everyone rose.
I stretched my arms into the night sky, almost as in deep prayer. But God wasn't in my thoughts; it was the baseball I focused on, spinning like a meteor. It inched closer. I locked onto it as I'd been taught since Little League. My hands came together like I was cupping a drink of water, and that's when the ball landed inside them, softly, without hurting, a clean catch.
"You caught the ball," Irwin yelled, his face shining.
I smiled wide, laughing with pure joy. "I caught the ball!" I yelled back. "I caught the ball!"
The whole stadium, if not all of New York, seemed to turn and cheer. I raised my arms high in victory, clutching the ball like a precious egg I couldn't drop.
Yankee Stadium. The connection to my birthplace, Seattle. This was more than a ball, more than luck. I didn't think about it during the catch, but over time I came to believe that in that moment God was present, like he had been with Jacob, delivering a message about my past, my present, and my future; about where I came from, who I wanted to become. That catch, high above right field, taught me that anything is possible; we all have the capacity to leave our own Mitzrayim or metaphorical Egypts, just as we have our own ways of enslaving ourselves or others around us.
I used that insight on a trip back to California to finally tell my dad once and for all that I wasn't going into the family business. It wasn't easy. I felt sweat dripping from my armpits, but I summoned the courage. "Here's the thing," I told him. "I'm not a businessman. I'm a writer. Why would you want to hire someone with no experience to help run your business?" He laughed. I rattled on, but I'd done it. To my relief, he didn't yell or look crushed, as if I'd just destroyed what remained of his dreams for his family. He just nodded, as if he'd known all along.
Continue reading: Looking to the heavens
After telling him the hardest thing I've ever had to tell anyone, I felt buoyant. I swear I heard thunderous cheers, as if I'd hit a walk-off home run.
I wish I could say my writing career turned brilliant from then on, like my life was a feel-good movie. It didn't. Old habits die hard. On the other hand, I started taking more risks, working harder at being the writer I always envisioned. That voice from Dad, which implied my chosen career was impractical, grew fainter.
I still have that foul ball I caught nearly 30 years ago, tucked in a shoebox in my bedroom closet. I suspect I'm not alone among those who have totems like these hidden away, totems we can't fully explain, though we try.
These days, I'm better at catching the saboteur who trips me up, my yetzer harah. As with catching a baseball, practice helps. And my father, to my surprise, has actually said he admires me, and he treats me less like his little boy, even though sometimes, despite everything, he can't help himself and suggests that it's not too late to join the family business.
When I think about catching that foul ball, I still feel in my heart that it wasn't dumb luck; it was bashert, fate, that I caught it. I seldom pull it out anymore, this future heirloom no one but me really wants, but when I hold it in my palm, I do hear God's still, small voice. It reminds me of that night and the lessons I've learned, ones I try to follow and ones I've tried to teach my three adult children: To stand up for what you believe. To look to the heavens now and again when you need help or courage. To claim what you dearly want in life. Even if sometimes, it's just a soaring white ball.

Paper bag
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2011)
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (September 2013)

If logs are used a starting material, debarked logs are sent to dry in a mill for three or so years. After they are dried, they are exposed to chemicals, heat, and pressure to make oatmeal-like pulp. If the manufacturers are using recycled paper, the recycled paper is made directly into pulp. After the pulp is made, it is formed, cut, glued, packaged, and then sent to the receiver.
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2013)
There are also three credited inventors for the paper bag, Margaret E. Knight, Francis Wolle, and Luther Childs Crowell.
Francis Wolle in 1852 patented a machine to make the square bottomed paper bags and founded the Union Paper Bag Company, which remains an industry leader. Wolle was the son of John Frederick Wolle, a prominent Moravian bishop in the Bethlehem/Nazareth area. Augustus Wolle, brother to Francis, ran a hardware store and financed the company that became Bethlehem Steel. The family remains prominent through endowment of Lehigh University and a world-renowned Bach Choir, both of which the family founded.[1]
Margaret E. Knight, touted by feminists as the mother of paper bags, was working at a paper bag factory at the time of her invention, in 1871.
Luther Childs Crowell obtained a patent for the square bottomed paper bag. Luther acknowledged Knight as the true inventor, but declared that he had rights to make and sell the bag. He filed almost 300 patents.
Single layer[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2013)
Paper shopping bags, brown paper bags, grocery bags, paper bread bags and other light duty bags have a single layer of paper. A variety of constructions and designs are available. Many are printed with the names of stores and brands. Paper bags are not waterproof. Types of paper bag are: laminated, twisted, flat tap. The laminated bag, whilst not totally waterproof, has a laminate that protects the outside to some degree.
Multiwall paper sacks[edit]
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2013)
Multiwall (or multi-wall) paper sacks or shipping sacks are often used as shipping containers for bulk materials such as fertilizer, animal feed, sand, dry chemicals, flour and cement. Many have several layers of sack papers, printed external layer and inner plies. Some paper sacks have a plastic film, foil, or polyethylene coated paper layer in between as a water-repellant, insect resistant, or rodent barrier.
There are two basic designs of bags: open mouth bags and valve bags. An open mouth bag is a tube of paper plies with the bottom end sealed. The bag is filled though the open mouth and then closed by stitching, adhesive, or tape. Valve sacks have both ends closed and are filled through a valve. A typical example of a valve bag is the cement sack.
|This section does not cite any references or sources. (September 2013)
Paper bags are readily recyclable. Plastic or water-resistant coatings or layers make recycling more difficult.[citation needed]
The first paper bag machine was patented by Francis Wolle in 1852.[2][3] Margaret E. Knight (1838-1914) was an employee in a paper bag factory when she invented a new machine part to make square bottoms for paper bags. Knight can be considered the mother of the grocery bag; she founded the Eastern Paper Bag Company in 1870. On 20 February 1872, Luther Crowell also patented a machine that manufactured paper bags.[4]

Analysis: Grizzlies say they've put their issues behind them
LOS ANGELES -- One week after coach Lionel Hollins peppered his troops with a piercing, profanity-laced lecture, the Grizzlies have strung together roughly 10 quarters with the steady effort and focus he demanded.
They will close a four-game road trip this afternoon against the Los Angeles Clippers seeking consecutive victories for the first time since Nov. 20-26, when the Griz won a season-high three straight games.
When, where: 2:30 p.m. CST today, Staples Center.
TV, radio: SportSouth, WRBO-FM (103.5)
Consistency with execution and lineup chemistry eluded the Griz throughout the season's first quarter. That partly explains why their record (9-14) is one game worse than it was after 23 games last season.
Collectively, the Griz insist their issues with selfishness and lapses in mental toughness are behind them. They were guilty as charged by Hollins, and took his words as constructive criticism they hope will help provide a boost into the second quarter of the schedule.
"It's obvious the problem is us. It's blatantly obvious," Griz leading scorer Rudy Gay said. "We need to play defense. We need to execute and we haven't been doing it. We're getting closer. But getting close doesn't count. We need to get W's and I mean put more than a few of them together."
There also is no question that becoming a playoff team this season weighs more on team owner Michael Heisley's mind.
"We've got a better team than we had last year but we've got to go out and compete," forward Zach Randolph said. "We've got to learn how to win games. We have to learn to sustain that lead to be a playoff team that we want to be."
The Griz were supposed to not only field a better team but avoid the slow start similar to the one that derailed last season, right? Instead, Memphis already owns separate losing streaks of three, four and five games.
Hollins & Co. could point to three reasons outside of perceived personal agendas: Defense, late-game execution and O.J. Mayo's prolonged affliction on offense (as a starter and reserve). That is not to assess unmitigated blame toward Mayo for the Grizzlies' slow start. His career-low 12 points on 40-percent shooting have come in a career-low 29.5 minutes per game.
Mayo's dip in scoring also coincides with a decrease in field-goal attempts in each of his three NBA seasons. He's averaging 11.3 shots per game, which is down from 14 last season and 15 during Mayo's rookie campaign.
But the Mayo bench situation has been underwhelming even though the Griz reserves averaged 27.8 points in the 10 games since Mayo became a reserve.
Hollins and Mayo agree that Mayo has made the most sacrifice of anyone on the roster. Hollins and Mayo agree that Mayo needs to play with more confidence as his move to the bench was based on the 6-3 guard's scoring mindset.
Mayo also insists he still is on board with what Hollins is preaching.
"That's our man," Mayo said of Hollins. "We've let the owner, we let everyone know this is the guy we want to play for. We've been in a lot of winnable games. We've just got to start winning. Whatever our role is, whatever the dynamic of the team is, we've got to accept it and go hard. We feel like we're a good team. We've just got to stick to the script."
Point guard Mike Conley echoed Mayo's sentiments.
"We haven't stopped buying in. It's just a matter of going out and doing what needs to be done," Conley said. "We've got to stop worrying so much about ourselves and worried about the team. We've got to get to the point where everybody's comfortable and what's expected of them on the court."
Say this about the Griz as of late: They are re-establishing their identity.
Part of the Grizzlies' struggles defensively had to do with their lack of strong rebounding. Early-season injuries to Randolph and Marc Gasol limited the Griz on the boards.
Suddenly, though, Randolph is rounding into form.
He's averaging 20.4 points and 14 rebounds over the past five games. The Griz are 5-1 when Randolph amasses at least 20 points and 10 rebounds. And Memphis is again leading the NBA in points in the paint with 48.3 points inside after scoring 51.4 in the paint in 2009-10.
Perhaps more importantly, Randolph's work on the boards has helped the Griz make a noticeable defensive improvement in their last two games. Memphis has allowed 96 points on 42-percent shooting compared with the first 21 games, when opponents averaged 103 points and shot 46 percent.
Points allowed and opponents' shooting undermined the fact that Memphis leads the league in forced turnovers (16.8) while ranking third in steals (8.8) and points off turnovers (19.1).
"I feel like we're playing a lot better," Conley said. "We've been playing the basketball that we played in preseason and wanted to bring into the season."
Memphis, of course, finished 8-0 in the preseason. In the last two seasons, more than 75 percent of NBA teams with winning preseason records earned a playoff berth.
Postseason teams also have other characteristics, and at least one the Griz must improve upon. With little room for error in the West, losing games seemingly in hand (such as Nov. 5 at Phoenix) and against weak Eastern Conference teams (such as Nov. 19 at Washington and Nov. 27 at Cleveland) is no longer an option.
"We've got to be more mature," Gasol said. "We say sacrifice, one team, one goal -- all that stuff. They're big words but we have to put it into action. Every change we make we're doing for the best of the team. We all know that and we have each other's back. We all still believe we have what it takes and that's what is important."

The mask is hard to breathe in... it must be trimmed to fit. The second problem is all the wrikles. I am thinking glueing in foam to fill the mask out better.BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

When i opened to packaging it was not in a bag like to other mask i had ordered and it was crush causing the mouth to look dumb and the nose was also flat the mouth was a little to light of a pink color and the eyes fog up quick but if these small problem can be fixed or avoided it would be a very…BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Hard to see too much,but that is to be expected with a mask like this. Overall a fun, somewhat scary mask.BOTTOM LINE Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
- Authentic Looking
- Irregular Fit
- Just For Fun
Most of the mask was done very well. The pink in the mouth is a little unrealistic. I had to touch up paint and modifiy the paint job in that area. One other problem is that the eyes fog up quickly.. Still working out a way to stop that. Will for sure have to restrict breathing out nose and will…BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Sun Sets Beyond the Pond
My wife and I enjoyed a most splendiferous stay. Our respite here in Linn's charming country home delivered everything we had wished for, and needed. All of it filled our souls, from the rolling green hills, the fluttering song birds, the books that lined the shelves, and the regular visits from an elegant young fawn. We visited and were blown away with nearby Buttermilk Falls and Watkins Glen. I would recommend both of these hikes to everyone. The former was a greater workout, and the latter simply defies judicious description . . . it was like being in a different country and in a different century . . . both simply are MUST sees. We very much look forward to returning to the calm of the gentle breezes and soft sunshine offered here in this writer's haven, as well as Linn's and Grace's (her delightful doggie) warm welcome. Two Wayfairing Trancendentalists, ~ Jack and Gita
The perfect getaway!
We spent our 25th Wedding Anniversary trip here. The property speaks for itself- it's beautiful inside and out. A clean, comfortable, cozy, well equipt cottage with adorable details inside and beautiful views outside. It's near so many great places- parks, wineries, farmers markets, and cute restaurants, and the rental process was friendly, efficient, and painless! I would highly recommend staying here. I would love to go again!!
Guestbook Comment
My girlfriend and I stayed at the stone cottage last Fall and we could not have been more pleased, both with the accomodations and with Nancy and Buzz, they are just great. Whatever questions we had, they were right there spot-on with answers and advice. We had never been to the area and they were full of great information and suggestions, both for walks and places to which we could drive. The cottage itself is an absolute marvel, we had never seen anything like it and it looks as if every little detail had been considered and made as fine as possible. And the bed and the bathtub are worth the price of admission alone. A great great place, highly recommended.

Raymond L. Atkins, winner of the 2014 Georgia Author of the Year for Fiction, will be the first speaker in the Friends of Memorial Library's Author Talk series.
The event is Sept. 9 from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Fackler Room of LaGrange Memorial Library.
Born in Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Atkins wrote his first short story in third grade. His father was a career military man, but he spent the majority of his teen years in Valley Head, Alabama. \
Atkins jokes, "I guess you could say I'm a Southerner by preference." He currently resides in Rome, Georgia.
Atkins received many awards for his first novel, "The Front Porch Prophet," including 2009 Georgia Author of the Year for First Novel; 2009 IPPY Gold Medal Best Regional Fiction: Southeast; 2009 IPPY Award Finalist: Best Popular Fiction. His third novel, "Camp Redemption," was awarded the 2011 Ferrol Sams Award for Fiction by Mercer University Press and the 2014 Georgia Author of the Year Award for Fiction.
According to Portland Book Review, his first novel, "The Front Porch Prophet," "combines a zany bunch of characters in unforgettable predicaments set in small town Sequoyah, Georgia. Mr. Atkins has written a heartwarming, witty, Southern tale with likeable characters that will stay with the reader long after turning the last page of this wonderful debut novel."
His second novel, "Sorrow Wood," was praised by Atlanta Magazine as "a casually clever, darkly humorous mystery that centers on the fiery death of a self-proclaimed witch in drowsy Sand Valley, Alabama … The author, who lives in Rome, Georgia, has a firm but subtle grasp of the freakishly ordinary people and understated, often unintentional humor that make a small town tick."
Of "Camp Redemption," Atkin's third novel, Don Noble of Alabama Public Radio says: "It indeed feels like a (Ferrol) Sams novel: witty, with small town, off-beat characters who hold traditional beliefs but are tolerant and questioning. This novel nearly goes sentimental with homeless, hungry children being fed and visits by angels, Mama and other people you might expect to meet in heaven, but it doesn't quite. It is neither a Christian novel nor a satire of faith. … With a supporting cast of a cynical lawyer, cynical bootlegger and …a murderous father, Camp Redemption remains, happily, dark comedy. There is even some violence, gunplay, and killing. This is rural northwest Georgia, after all."
His fourth novel, Sweetwater Blues, is due for release by Mercer University Press in September.
The Author Talk series is free and open to the public.

PITTSBURGH, Feb. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Heart disease is the leading cause of death among Pennsylvanians, with 17,191 heart attack cases documented last year in Western Pennsylvania alone. The urgency to improve the timeliness and quality of care for cardiac patients is critical.
The Highmark Foundation recently awarded a $120,000 grant to the American Heart Association as one of the first funders of Mission Lifeline, an initiative to advance the systems of care for patients who have experienced the most severe form of heart attack –ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction or STEMI.
The American College of Cardiology recommends that patients receive an angioplasty within 90 minutes of entering the hospital. There are still some facilities in Western Pennsylvania that do not meet this recommendation.
"Quality of care will not improve without a major emphasis on process improvement and systems change," said Donald Fischer, M.D., Highmark senior vice president and chief medical officer. "Our community has much to gain if we can facilitate the adoption of best practices for STEMI management."
The Highmark Foundation grant dollars will support two components of Mission Lifeline's initiatives as part of the greater effort to improve the care procedures for STEMI patients.
Funds will provide education and training for hospital quality improvement staff in hospitals located throughout 27 counties in Western Pennsylvania. This training will help establish the national standards for understanding and improving the quality, safety and outcomes of cardiac patients. Emergency medical service technicians and first responders will also be trained to use equi
