In 1989, I attended a reading of baseball stories at Symphony Space in NYC, organized by Roger Angell and A. Bartlett Giamatti.
They had an exchange I've never forgotten. Giamatti asked, "Why does baseball appeal to writers so much?"
Angell gave a full answer, which you can read transcribed here but essentially he noted the similarities between reading and baseball. Angell said, memorably:
They are occupations for people who are not afraid of being bored.
Somehow this serves as an introduction to the object of today's interview, Greg Prince, hail fellow of Faith and Fear in Flushing fame. There's a tagline to Greg's blog, co-written with Jason Fry, that reads like a warning shot over the bow: "The blog for Mets fans who like to read." Greg tends to write (and talk!) at length: that either scares you or it doesn't. Proceed accordingly.
Oh, look! Here's Greg now. Let's begin . . .
A little background here, we first crossed paths on an AOL Mets Message Board, back in the early days of call-up modems. My guess is '94, '95. This was before the hordes overran the internet. The days of "IPP" — Izzy, Paul, and Pulse — and the dream of soon-to-come dominance. Then we watched them fall, one by one, like dominoes. What did you learn from that, other than TINSTAAPP.
IPP! Haven't seen Generation K grouped as such in ages! Izzy, Pulse and Paul, in whatever order you like, was a bracing experience. I think their cumulative effect turned me off from relying on Next Big Things where the Mets are concerned. Other bloggers get excited about the farm system. I don't, whatever the reports are. At most I'm encouraged when there's a Harvey or an Ike in the pipeline, but the last time I was over the moon about a prospect was Reyes. Then again, I've been a much more cynical Mets fan since the collapse of 2007. It's like I don't want to be told something great is going to happen, because somehow I know it won't.
Insane as it sounds today, there was also a heated, long-running debate about which young, NY shortstop was better: Jeter or Ordoñez? Were you in the "But Rey saves a bazillion runs a year!" camp?
Yeah, probably. I don't know that I took it to any projections, but I really loved watching Rey go into that little slide to scoop up grounders…and go back like nobody's business on fly balls…and lunge from his position to make force plays at second. I don't think I realized just how inept a hitter he was and I don't think I cared. Rey-O exists in that once-in-a-lifetime space the way Dave Kingman did as a player who did one thing so sensationally well that I didn't really care about his shortcomings.
Honestly, I don't think I was all that aware of what Jeter was up to in his rookie year, just that he was said to be better than Ordoñez — and surely that was impossible. I turned around a couple of years later and the world is at that guy's feet and we're still waiting for Rey to put down a bunt against the Braves.
I actually believe that the Mets made the 2000 World Series partly in thanks to Rey's injury. We got Mike Bordick from the Orioles, who was terrible for us, and got better. Addition by subtraction. But I was a Rey-hater.
Bordick plus Abbott in the World Series instead of Rey-O. I can't see Luis Sojo's 147-hopper getting between Rey and Fonzie. But who knows? It's only been twelve years, so maybe I'll stop replaying it.
I had no real quibbles with the All-Time Mets team, but I thought Gil Hodges should have been named manager over Davey. You?
That was such a tough call. Emotionally it has to be Gil, but when you look at the totals, you can't go against Davey. Gil, in my mind, will always be the manager of the Mets, I suppose. I was pretty surprised when a panel that talked so glowingly about Gil picked Davey. But Davey transformed a hopeless team every bit as much as Gil did and, by circumstances nobody could control, did it longer. It's appealing to think that a Gil Hodges who lived longer would have kept the Mets on the straight and narrow. We just don't know. I don't think it's fair to penalize Davey because he's up against someone who is as close as this organization has to a sainthood figure.
By the way, my partner in blogging, Mike, was at Shea for the game of Gil's long, slow walk out to LF to yank Cleon Jones. What a moment for a manager, what a message to a team.
Regarding the rest of the all-time team, I was kind of delighted that Tug pulled the upset over Franco for lefty reliever. I thought there was a clause in the Mets' covenant somewhere that said John Franco's contributions always had to be largely overstated. And, to be fair, the man was around longer and piled up more saves. But we watched Franco. He was the template for every aggravating closer to come, except he didn't throw hard. Tug on the other hand was Tug. I'm glad he got the nod. (I did think McDowell over Benitez for righty closer was, per Dick Young, horsespit, however.)
Agreed on the relievers. But I never found the hot foot all that hilarious, frankly. You started blogging in 2005. That's impressive, since most blogs flame out after 3 months. Do you have any sage advice for us newcomers?
Do it as long as you're having fun. That's how Jason and I have approached it, essentially. It often saddens me to watch promising blogs fizzle out because of the author's lack of interest or commitment or whatever. I think our motivating factor is we'd be writing back and forth to one another about the Mets anyway, why not keep doing it in this forum we've set up and people seem to enjoy?
Yeah, well, having fun, that might be a problem. We got into this for the money.
When you find it, let us know.
Do you think blogging has changed you as a fan?
Yes, in several ways. I'm usually thinking on some level about what I might write when I'm watching a game or going to a game or reading about the Mets or seeing somebody on the street wearing a Mets cap. My fandom feels more all-encompassing. There's also a sense of obligation to the craft and our readers. It is our policy that we "cover" each game, which means we have written something after every game since the start of the 2005 season. You get to August of these non-competitive years and you think you've run out of ways to express your discontent with the current state of affairs. But we keep finding a way to say, in so many words, "The Mets suck, but we still love 'em."
The other big change is the behavior of the Mets toward the blogging community (which is a loosely defined entity). In 2010 they decided to reach out to some of us and treat us like quasi-media. We get an invite once a month to come out for BP, maybe get on a conference call with the GM or the head marketing guy. It's helpful for the insights it provides — both for our own edification and for the chance to tell our readers how something works — but it's also a little odd in that our thing is writing as fans. Neither of us ever wanted to be a sportswriter, yet here we are dealing with media relations and what's on or off the record. At times it's become a bit of a second job without compensation. But the opportunity it presents as a Mets fan to go deeper than you can from the stands is too good to pass up. I think as long as we continue to be who we are and not worry about "access," we'll be doing ourselves and our readers a favor. Overall, Faith and Fear reminds me of life before and after The Simpsons or the Internet. It's as if I can't remember what life was like before those things. I can't imagine being a Mets fan who doesn't write about the Mets after every game.
We've never met, but I was really happy for you when you published Faith and Fear in Flushing: An Intense Personal History of the New York Mets. It seemed like a dream come true.
I truly appreciate that, especially since the first inkling I had that I wanted to write a book that would tell the Mets fan story — mine, obviously, but something that would represent all of us — started coming together in those AOL days. One of my favorite seasons ever, pound for pound, was 1997, and after a particularly exhilarating series I remember posting something about how much this kind of out-of-nowhere year meant, and I got such nice feedback from several people on our board. That was the kind of thing that made me want to pull those types of feelings together into a book and explore what it meant to be a Mets fan across a lifetime, what it meant to take this kind of thing as life and death (without being overly severe about it) and, at the same time, tell the Mets' story in the first-person.
There's a chapter in there, "Virtual Reality and Rico Brogna," devoted to the bleak period preceding 1997 that serves to explain how this particular Mets fan got amped up by the chance to meet other Mets fans via the Internet for the first time, Jason being the prime example; that's something I still relish doing through the blog and other online outlets. I'm probably not a blogger or an author without that AOL experience. As for the dream come true, certainly. I'm a writer and I'm a Mets fan. What could be better than having written a Mets book? I'm very grateful to those who have thought enough to read it and respond to it. The book came out in the spring of 2009, and to this day I receive correspondence from Mets fans telling me I touched something in them. There's no greater compliment.
Any other book projects in the pipeline?
So glad you asked! I'm about to release, via the CreateSpace publishing platform, the first volume in a four-volume series called The Happiest Recap: 50 Years of the New York Mets as Told in 500 Amazin' Wins. It's an outgrowth of a 50th anniversary series I did on the blog in 2011 and its goal is to tell the story of the franchise the way a fan remembers it — in the third-person this time — through the prism of the wins that really defined the Mets as we know them. That means historical games, momentous games, fantastic games, legendary games, obscure games that should be legendary, curious games, the games you swore you'd never forget when they were over, but in many cases have probably mostly forgotten because that's just the way life goes. Unless you're inclined to be historically obsessive about the Mets, as I am.
Really? Historically obsessive? You? I hadn't noticed. Quick: What's the name of Bobby Pfeil's 3rd grade teacher?
I'd love to say, "Read the book if you wanna find out," but I'm afraid that information eludes my obsession's grasp (like Sojo's ground ball getting by Kurt Abbott). But not much else does, I'm more proud than ashamed to report.
Dude, you need to get over the Sojo thing. Seriously. Back to the book!
The first volume, or "First Base," covers 127 wins from 1962 through 1973, the "Mets classic" period as I've come to think of it. You get the whole gamut there: the Mets as baby bumblers (but they did manage to win in memorable ways occasionally); the Mets as toddlers (bringing up the first Youth of Americans, you might say, not all of them who would grow big and strong); the Mets as sudden champions in their eighth year (the greatest story ever retold, to my thinking); then into their sometimes sullen pre-adolescence in the early '70s and, finally, the pennant of 1973. I've spent time with every winning box score in Mets history to get here and done a ton of research to find the details that time has swept away. In one of the introductory passages, I liken this to "your family history" and myself to the well-meaning uncle determined to write it all down for posterity. It's one game after another, almost like 500 bedtime stories for Mets fans, but from it an organic narrative forms and you can feel the ebb and flow of the franchise.
Obviously you'll read about the postseason wins and the dramatic home runs and the like, but you'll also get what I'll call the "Gary Rajsich game," to borrow a phrase a guy I knew thirty years ago used when he told me, "I was at the Gary Rajsich game!" You might remember Gary Rajsich was the minor league home run king for the Tidewater Tides during the strike of 1981, thus the biggest name in baseball for the heart of a summer. He makes the Mets in 1982 and the magic is gone, but on one night, he has the game of his life: Makes a Ron Swoboda-like catch and hits a big home run, and suddenly Gary Rajsich is a big deal again, back page of the Daily News, we're penciling him in for 30 home runs a year the way we tend to do. Then, ultimately, he's not a big deal. But his is a story that preoccupied us for spell, and that's what I'm looking to capture for posterity. That and the kinds of stories that have otherwise faded in addition to the ones you've read about plenty.
One more example: Every time Jim McAndrew pitched, Murph, Ralph or Lindsey would talk about how McAndrew came up in 1968, pitched great for a bunch of starts but got zero run support.
I used to imitate McAndrew's windup as a Little Leaguer. He did that weird wrap-around leg thing. Awkward. I fell down a lot.
McAndrew was my go-to "43" for decades when I'd go through the Mets numerical alphabet. You know: 1, Mookie; 2, Bobby V; 3, Harrelson…and so on. But R.A. has bumped Jim at last. Not that McAndrew didn't have problems from the moment he arrived in the big leagues. It was the Year of the Pitcher, and the Mets couldn't hit as it was. So McAndrew wins his first two games by 1-0 shutouts — over Steve Carlton and then Fergie Jenkins, two future Hall of Famers. It's an incredible first month probably unmatched anywhere and it tells us about the kind of pitchers the Mets were bringing up, the kind of offensive blues that was their burden just ahead of 1969, what baseball was like then…and it's just a fascinating story — Jim McAndrew of Lost Nation, Ia., the psychology major who must be dreaming he's on the mound naked or something given how little support he has to clothe himself in — that I thought needed to be brought back into the light.
Future volumes will cover 1974-1986; 1987-1999; and "2000 and beyond" (which is to say I'm fudging the "50 Years" rule to maybe get a pitching performance or two from the 51st season in under the wire). And, as you might guess from the title, I'd like to believe the spirit of Bob Murphy informs the whole project.
My very good friend Jim Haines collaborated with me as the book's designer. He did a wonderful homage to the 1974 Mets yearbook as the first volume's cover, which I hope draws some readers in when they see it on Amazon, et al. It should be out in plenty of time for online holiday shopping. We'll have plenty of details at Faith and Fear in short order.
I love reading baseball books — please check out our "Two Guys-Approved" Essential Baseball Library in the blue banner up top. I have a decent collection at home, though I haven't particularly specialized in Mets-related books. One thing that strikes me is that there's been so few really first-rate books about the Mets. There's some real hack jobs out there.
Actually, I think this has been something of a renaissance period for Mets books. My friends Jon Springer and Matthew Silverman wrote an instant classic with Mets By The Numbers, based on Jon's pioneering web site. Matt also did a wonderful coffee table 50th anniversary history that kicks the ass of anything else in that genre. My late friend Dana Brand wrote two essential books: Mets Fan and The Last Days of Shea. William Ryczek wrote an incredible pre-1970 history a couple of years ago called The Amazin' Mets, 1962-1969 (and I don't know him from a hole in the head, lest you think I'm just cheerleading for friends). And from doing the research for The Happiest Recap, I'm reminded of what a readable team this has been from its inception: Jimmy Breslin, Jerry Mitchell, Leonard Shecter, Leonard Koppett, George Vecsey, Joe Durso….I don't think any other team was written about with such passion, humor and joy before it turned twelve as the Mets were.
Okay, buckle up. Lightning round: Five favorite all-time Mets players?
1) Tom Seaver; 2) Dwight Gooden; 3) Edgardo Alfonzo; 4) Jose Reyes; 5) Rico Brogna.
Which player hated being a Met the most?
Richie Hebner.
Worst season ever?
1979 and 1993 in a flat-footed tie.
Biggest thrill at the park?
October 3, 1999, Melvin Mora scoring on Brad Clontz's wild pitch to clinch a tie for the Wild Card on the final day of the season.
One game, one batter: which Mets pitcher gets the ball? And from which year?
Tom Seaver, 1971.
Reverse it: One at-bat, everything on the line. Who do you send up to the plate?
Keith Hernandez, 1985.
Whose book is better, Keith's, Ron's, or Art Shamsky's?
Keith's, if you mean If At First, though in that genre, I'd write in Screwball by Tug McGraw (and Joe Durso).
Who is the biggest name on the Mets that you think will get traded this off-season?
I have a hunch it'll be Daniel Murphy. Can't imagine it being Wright or Dickey. Can't say Jason Bay anymore, either, assuming his name was still considered big before he and the Mets got out of each other's way.
Not Niese?
He's a big Niese of the puzzle, whatever that puzzle might be.
I know you're not a big guy on prospects. But anybody down on the farm got your interest?
Let's just say if Zack Wheeler isn't the real deal that he's universally agreed to be, I want Carlos Beltran back. Now.
Thanks for your time, Greg. It's funny, since we've never met in person, it's like we've not known each other for nearly 20 years — that's a kind of friendship, I suppose. I'll be sure to pick up The Happiest Recap as soon as it hits the remainder table. To express our gratitude, we'll be sending you a free set of steak knives in the mail.

|Increase Your Memory with Hypnosis
Improving Your Memory with the Help of Hypnosis
Hypnosis sessions can improve all aspects of learning and memory: Registering, Retaining, and Retrieving, while at the same time, it will release any learning blocks, and create valuable new study habits. You will learn how to access information when you need it, with reduced stress and anxiety. In addition, no matter how smart you are, whether you wish to do well in an exam, or in a presentation at work, hypnosis will help you to create a state of relaxed confidence that will greatly improve your performance.
Understanding Memory
Memory is the process of retaining information in the mind, and retrieving information from the mind that has already been stored there. In order to easily learn and use information, a good memory is crucial.
You should know that your subconscious mind has recorded everything that you experience, whether this is a past event, or information that has come to your attention. Hypnosis can enable you to have better access to all the information held within your subconscious memory, for example, educational material, names and addresses, any numbers such as those within addresses and phone numbers, you may wish to recall more easily. Any information and knowledge you need to have ready access to within your career and work situation can be made more readily available to your conscious mind through the power of hypnosis. In this way you can avoid frustration, and excel more in your life endeavors.
The Three Basic Types of Remembering:
There are three basic types of remembering. There is your sensory memory which results from seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling, and tasting.
The Three Steps to the Remembering Process
Registering, taking note of what you want to remember
Retaining, storing the information that has been registered, within the mind.
Retrieving, getting the information that has been stored within the subconscious mind, back to the conscious mind.
Material is best remembered and recalled if placed within a logical pattern that starts with the overall concept or theme, then adds the specifics within the broader concept.

Good and bad of UTSA's solid start
Couple of thoughts/observations after this weekend's double-header, which UTSA split to bring its early-season record to 4-3.

UTSA 49, Minot State 7: How the game was won
No need to overanalyze this one. Minot State, as expected, just wasn't very good.

Runners sign Arizona big
Always on the lookout size, the Roadrunners signed Gilbert, Ariz., 6-foot-10 center Lucas O'Brien on Tuesday, their only addition during the early signing period. Fairly scrawny at 220 pounds, O'Brien nonetheless was the target of numerous other schools, according to arizonapreps.com.

Gear Question
Grass Bass
I know there have been size questions...
I know there have been size questions before, but I'll go ahead and ask another. I'm 6'1 195lbs, should I go medium or large? I've had mixed results with Patagonia on sizing, sometimes a large fits like a trash bag, and other times it fits great even though the "cut" is the same. Would prefer the jacket to fit a little slimmer, so thinking medium? Anyone have any advice?
Pat Palmer
If you're not layering, medium should work. I hesitate to say that, though, because you're right on the cusp. I'm 6'0 205, and a med is too tight across the shoulders.

Hello Mike,
I like both of your interior Casa Mila shots, but this one grabs me more. I like the partial view looking down, and the focus on windows. All those windows have a bit of a mysterious feeling to them, and I like that some are shuttered and some aren't. Nice, warm colors and presentation on this one.
macjake (60698) 2014-04-17 10:26
Hi Michael
wicked shot my friend!
I really like using the windows at the top as an anchor, bending around the entire top portions.
let me ask you something...when taking this photo can you place your camera on the ledge? or is it the normal hand held. Just wondering because if you can place it on the ledge it would be easier for getting 3 different exposures.
cool shot all around, love it

wow, vt, we agree on something! The universe must be playing tricks on us or something, lol!
I am not sold on Aaron Berry being a quality starter like the Lions brass thinks he is. They also thought Zac Follet was starter material and basically handed him the job. I never thought of Follet as being a starter ever. There are certain guys who aren't cut out to be. Former Lions special teams standout Scott Kowalokowski, for example, was slotted in as a ST'er. Sometimes he filled in and played defense but nobody dreamed he'd ever be a capable starter. I was surprised that they saw potential in Follet.
BTW, he stunk as a starter. He wasn't athletic nor fast enough and was no Chris Spielman with amazing instincts and tackling skill.
There are a lot of things that don't show up in the statline. For all we know, he regulary misses assignments, blows coverages, misses tackles or worse, makes half-hearted attempts to make the tackle, freelances/does his own thing -- ignoring the coaching, etc. For the few BIG plays he's made, for all we know maybe he's given up a lot more than an assignment sound corner who rarely intercepts a pass, who's a solid tackler, who's reliable, who rarely gives the QB a wide open option to throw to, etc.
My excuse? mama didn't breast feed me...still mad about it!
he's caaarayzzzzeeeeee!!!!
Look, you have noooo idea what you're talking about. Cam didn't do "it". he wasn't asked to be a full-spectrum QB in his rookie season. he was just like Tim Tebow in the sense that they cut out much of the playbook and really simplified things for him. He couldn't have stepped into the Chicago Bears lineup and ran the Mike Martz offense, not anywhere near where Jay Cutler ran it, wgi btw, is a better QB. Cam has loads of talnet and if he progresses he'll be one of the elites.
come on, son. LoL @ that one Anwar. I agree with you. A top 5 line would sure be nice for the long run though, squeeking out a few extra victories here and there, keeping the QB clean.
He did drop one? I musta missed it. Heck I knew he wasn't targeted more than 10 times but the little of him that I did see he looked like an actual wr, unlike that super-sized wr Maurice Stoval, who teased like usual in the preseason, only to look like a fish out of water when it actually counted.
I agree that Logan is done.
My thoughts on the kid are that he's too small and weak right now and will get pushed around, and we've already got 2 very young wrs. He is too small to help on special teams either unless it's soley as a returner. And I doubt he'd get touched on the PSq.
Put a number next to each team next time ;), 1,2,3,4, 5, etc
Nope, not this year.
Part of the reason for no respect is Detroit has just ben so easy to shytt on for years, and anyone jumping on the Lions bandwagon, tooting their horn, was laughed off the set and eventually proven wrong. Besides that, it's human nature to hate seeing the lower class rise above you. The Lions are the lower class of the NFL and are now threatening to beat everyone. That is just a threat to people's ego's and psyche's. And lastly, if Stafford was a NY QB, they'd be GUSHING, absolutely GUSHING over him. They hate that Sanchez was looking like the superior QB to Stafford in the first two years, but now Sanchez has digressed and looks like a mediocre pocket passer, and Stafford has risen waaaaaaaaaaay above him and is clearly what all teams desire, an elite, strong armed, franchis QB.
Practice squad candidate. Rashied Davis, although old, caught every ball thrown his way, and at least one or two were very nice grabs. He also plays special teams very well and is a mature veteran presence.
+1. How could the Giants take any other QB over Eli? Sure his brother has been the ultimate prototype pocket passer during the regular season, but his post seasons have been rather mediocre, even in winning his lone SB title.
ty pirate, +1. The Bears were going to make the playoffs and quite possibly shut out the Lions from making it had it not been for Cutler going down.
Caddy, it's nice to see a "slappy" being realistic! Good post!
P.S. I don't really believe Anwar believes everything that he writes. He knows damn well how I and a few others feel about the Lions running game and he knew damn well that I'd be arguing his assertion about the RG being a difference maker. He just sometimes has to write things that will drum up some comments. It's a competitive world!
Lions fans know that is you just add enough sugar, than you won't even taste the pee. Or just add some alcohol, it tastes about the same as pee :/ no one will tell.
huge, tell me exactly WTF HOF candidate Kurt Warner did in the league between the Rams "Greatest Show on Turf" and Larry Fitzgerland and Anquan Bolden??? That's right, he was written off and relegated to career backup status.
What about Jeff Garica when he was with the Lions? He was written off as weak armed, washed up and a career backup. But then he got to fill in for McNabb in Philly and in that Andy Reid offense he looked BETTER than McNabb, so much so, they immediately had to get rid of him so as to avoid a QB controversy. And then he went to Tampa and started for another 3 years.
When is everyone going to figure out that being around talented coaches and being surrounded by talented players via a talented GM counts for just about more than anything? I guess never.
The way I see Cutler, he was an up and coming QB, making the usual progression from 1st year to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, showing good growth, looking the part of soon becoming a top 10 QB. But then he got traded to Chicago and for 3 years his completion % has been lower by quite a bit, which just adds weight to my belief that he was shipped off to a team with a poorly built offense and was marketed as the solution for said shyttee offense. He's been in a talentless offense for 3 years!!! Not ANYONE sniffing being a #2 WR let alone a true, dominant #1. Every QB who's elite would end up having struggles in Chicago by trying to do too much. Do you think Cutler hasn't ever felt that he needed to do everything himself, be perfect, and then it just gets worse from him trying to hard?
I've seen Cutler play first hand now for 3 years and I'm impressed. It's in the little details, and if he had a good team with good WR's he'd really shine. I simply believe football is a team game. Your teammates help and hurt A LOT in determining your stats and how you look. Was Emmit Smith one of the top 3 RB's of all time? Not even close. He had one of the most physically dominant OL's in history paving lanes that would have made a few mediocre Lions RB's look pretty good, not to mention a highly feared passing game and defense which never let the other teams get to far ahead in score.
If Cutler was on the Eagles passing to Desean Jackson and gang and having to work in Andy Reids system vs Martz's, I think he'd have waaaay outperformed Vick. And Vick in Chicago? He'd be killed by weak 4 and have more INTS than TDs and less than 55% comp.
As for Newton, he looked extremely fluid and confident. He flung the ball far and wide with ease. He's NOT better than Cutler right now. More talented? Yes, undoubtedly. But look at Freeman. He looked like a damn fine QB and then completely fell apart last year. He said he "was trying to do to much." IF IF IF Newton progresses as fluidly as he moves and throws the ball, then he should not only surpass Cutler, but several other high profile QB's as well.
oh shut up vicsions man ....cuz k-hams alreadidee dunn it!
Lions success relies is mainly about Stafford to Johnson and finding other offensive weapons that can hurt the defense for over-covering Johnson. Perhaps the key might be Jahvid Best further improving as a receiving threat, or heck, rookie Broyles exploiting the heck out of the other teams 4th CB.
But the running game...Dom and Peterman run-blocked poorly...they won't get better with age. None of the other linemen where RB standouts. And Best with his injury...he wasn't effective running before anyway. Leshoure's never run in the NFL and his injury won't be fully healed for another year, and Kevin Smith isn't anywhere near being a top RB. The run games gonna suck, it's gonna just be there "to keep defenses honest."
The last hope is that the D-Line does come alive and reach expectations, but they need some CB's to emerge to put pressure on the QB to hold the ball for an extra second, not play 8-10 yards off and give up a bunch of easy "gimme" receptions where the DL has no shot of getting there.

Nick�s Picks:
Last week: 3-0; Season: 23-7
Lake Braddock 35, Oakton 14
Oakton should come out of the gates fired up to prove they�re still a good football team despite recent losses. But Lake Braddock is firing on all cylinders, so I think the Bruins will end Oakton�s season for the second year in a row.
Chantilly 28, Robinson 24
Robinson may want revenge for last week�s loss to the Chargers, but don�t expect a different result on Chantilly�s home turf. Though a part of me senses a blowout, I think the Rams will fight hard to make it close.
South County 42, Madison 14
Madison got an unfortunate draw against South County, which is playing more like last year�s state title contender than the team that began this season 1-5. If the Stallions� defense maintains its composure, this one shouldn�t be close.

In memoriam: Muriel Mallin Berman
Muriel Mallin Berman, 89, who enhanced the visual and educational quality of life at Lehigh, passed away Tuesday in her Allentown home.
Dr. Berman and her husband, Philip, were valuable contributors to Lehigh. They established the Philip and Muriel
Berman Center for Jewish Studies
, which administers and coordinates the Jewish Studies program at Lehigh, and placed numerous works of contemporary art throughout Lehigh's campus.
"I count myself truly lucky to have known Muriel, if only for six years. She was so full of enthusiasm for art and life," says Gregory Farrington, Lehigh president. "It was always a delight to spend an evening with her. We will all miss her so much."
Laurence Silberstein, director of the Berman Center for Jewish Studies, adds: "As a result of her and Phil's vision and generosity, several generations of students have had the opportunity to study about Jewish culture, religion, and history with scholars of national and international reputation. Thanks in large part to Muriel's wide-ranging interests and her humanistic vision, Jewish studies has become an integral part of the Liberal Arts program at Lehigh."
"Truly inspiring"
In addition to the Berman Center, Muriel and Philip Berman's contributions to Lehigh's art galleries are too many to list.
"Muriel Mallin Berman has been a force and a source of inspiration to the Lehigh Art Galleries for many years," says Ricardo Viera, professor of art and curator of the Lehigh Art Galleries. "(The Bermans) have donated artworks ranging from Japanese prints to monumental outdoor sculptures. And along with her daughter, Nancy, and the College of Arts and Sciences, Muriel sponsored a course in the Fall 2002 semester called "Public Art, Public Decisions." Her vision and passion were, indeed, contagious. She was truly inspiring."
Born in Pittsburgh, Dr. Berman received her bachelor's degree from the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, becoming one of the first female graduates. She practiced optometry until 1984.
She married Philip I. Berman in 1942, and he remained her partner for 55 years in everything from placing sculptures around the world to educational ventures such as the Berman Center to organizing a television station (WLVT-Channel 39).
The Bermans strongly supported Jewish causes. In addition to the Berman Center, they established a center for biblical archaeology at Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Muriel was also a member of the national board of Hadassah and was the first woman president of the Jewish Publication Society of America.
To share their love of art with the Lehigh Valley and the world, the Bermans loaned works to U.S. embassies and donated many works to the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where Philip served on the board of trustees.
Dr. Berman was the mother of Nancy Berman Bloch, trustee, daughter Nina Berman Schafer, son Steven Mallin Berman, and six grandchildren.
Services will be held Thursday, April 15, at 2:30 p.m. at K.I. Synagogue, Allentown, Pennsylvania. Memorial contributions may be sent to Hadassah Medical Organization, 50 W. 58th Street, New York, NY 10019.

Finally- A sketchbook combined with intensive fashion information and blended figure templates!
Graphic designer, Penter Yip, who noticed the lack of tailor-made tools for fashion designers, combined intensive fashion information together with a type of self-invented figure template (later to be known as Fashionary templates) to create the ultimate sketchbook for both womenswear and menswear- the Fashion + Dictionary + Diary.
Shop for a Fashionary here.
**click on images to zoom in.
+ figure templates to draw over!
For an item that is meant to be extremely personal, the Fashionary sketchbook reinvents the idea of effective visual thought organization. The lightly dotted figure croquis are subtle so sketchers can quickly jot down quick thoughts and personal imagery. Whether ideas communicate to us through specific details or broad concepts, Fashionary accommodates both thought processes- and much more.
By providing spec sheets and fabric classification, Fashionary proves itself to be informative and gives the sketcher room to be imaginative first and creative later. The sketchbook is made of 100 gsm vanilla paper, so your text or drawings won't bleed through and to your other drawings.

World War Z, opening nationwide this weekend, is the highly anticipated 3-D zombie epic starring Brad Pitt. Up until this point the film has been overshadowed by stalled productions, rewrites, re-shoots and Angelina Jolie's appearance at the premiere in London. VH1 Celebrity previewed WWZ last week and pulled together all the essential things you need to know before going into the film.
Everyone's seen all the promos and trailers and red carpet appearances. But it still must be said: Brad Pitt has Jennifer Aniston hair. Whether this is a sign of how good (or bad) the movie is is still up for debate, BUT there are theories out there. Also, did I mention that Brad Pitt has long hair in this film? I kept waiting for him to find his Beyonce wind. Spoiler alert: He never does.
2. The only thing the book World War Z and the movie share is the title.
Those who have read the book know that Max Brooks' novel is practically impossible to adapt. The narrative style (an oral documentary) and focus on new characters in each chapter all but ruin any real opportunity to translate the text on the big screen. While it's theoretically possible to make a faux-documentary, it's clearly not what Brad Pitt and crew wanted for the cinematic experience. Instead, audiences get a completely different narrative that makes a pit stop in Israel, as if to say the writers at least read the Cliff's Notes version of the novel.
3. The movie is meant to be the first entry in a trilogy.
Whether or not all three films will star Brad Pitt, the original idea was to transform the book and film into a trilogy that follows the outbreak, zombie war and ultimate recovery. The basic outline of the book lends itself to a series of films, but the movie is not being advertised as a first part in the series. The fact that it ends in a cliffhanger of sorts doesn't make sense without the larger context.
4. WWZ is practically two films in one.
This is where you can throw blame at Damon Lindelof. Well, maybe not entirely, because his half of the film is pretty great, if it were not called WWZ. It's clear where the writer took over the script and penned a new ending. Suddenly, a worldwide epic becomes a narrow feature about finding a weakness in the zombies and somehow putting an end to the pandemic. Lindelof is a pretty decent writer (ignoring Prometheus) but he was unfairly shoehorned into this project. Maybe if he wrote the script from beginning to end it would have been more cohesive.
5. The zombies have evolved. Well slightly.
I previously mapped out the evolution of zombies in pop culture based on intelligence and speed. The major difference with the zombies in this film is speed. They have superhuman running power that can take down walls, automobiles and even planes. Another element of change is the rate at which someone becomes a zombie. It's frighteningly fast!
Up next: The breakout star, familiar faces and one terrifying scene.

Wild introduce Dany Heatley, Devin Setoguchi, who know their roles: shoot and score goals
Jul 11, 2011, 7:48 PM EDT
There are a lot of fantastic things that come from the generalized unselfishness exhibited by hockey players. They're sports-wide leaders in "Aw shucks" quotes and tend to be generous when it comes to charitable causes (and also seem generous enough to lay their bodies in front of 100 mph slap shots). Those are all great things, but sometimes that attitude has some drawbacks.
One of the most obvious, teeth-clenching moments comes when a player seems unwilling to put a puck on net. Whether it's a 2-on-1 that short circuits because the forwards "got too cute" with one-too-many passes or a defenseman whose point shots rarely make it to the net because they've telegraphed their attempts, there are times when it's flat-out frustrating to watch this unselfishness in action. (Maybe there's an element of players preserving their shooting percentages, too, but we'd like to think that isn't a frequent concern.)
Soon-to-be-outgoing Minnesota Wild coach Todd Richards cringed when people used the same trap-happy label for his more wide-open team last season, but the bottom line was that the Wild didn't have the weapons to justify opening things up. The hockey blogosphere has been flush with debate regarding the true "winner" of the deal that sent Martin Havlat to San Jose in exchange for Dany Heatley, but it seems like the Wild are finally willing to dive into the deep end after a couple years of dipping their toes in the shallow end of the pool when it comes to opening things up.
It might be a loss in the grand scheme of things; Havlat is a little bit more versatile than Heatley and losing Brent Burns could really hurt a Wild blueline that lacks any apparent dynamism. That being said, the Wild obviously needed a change and those two blockbuster trades will provide that (if nothing else).
To keep the stats talk simple yet relevant, the Wild were regularly out-shot last season. They produced a league-worst 26.2 shots per game while giving up an average of 32 shots (tied for sixth-worst in the NHL with the New York Islanders). That works out to a league-worst -5.8 shot differential, with only the lowly Edmonton Oilers' -5 being comparable.
The Wild would be dreaming pretty big if they thought that Heatley and Setoguchi could improve their odds in the shots allowed category. Thankfully, Wild GM Chuck Fletcher expressed more realistic expectations when he introduced Heatley and Setoguchi today: the Wild want them to shoot and score goals in large portions. Setoguchi expressed his objective in an almost comically single-minded way, as you can see from Michael Russo's quotes.
On his game: You're going to find that I'm just going to shoot the puck. That's all what I try to do. I get the puck, I shoot it. I don't hold onto it, I don't make nice, really sweet plays with it. I just shoot it. I'm going to skate and shoot and hit, and that's my plan.
Expectations from Chuck and Mike: Nowadays in the game, you've got to shoot the puck. The game's quicker. Goalies are better. Teams are better. In order to be a successful team, you've got to shoot the puck, you've got to get shots. I think I can shoot the puck more, and I know that's what they want us to do, and that's what I'm going to do.
Describe your game: It's pretty simple what you're going to get from me. I like to play north-south. I like to use my speed, get in on the forecheck, really be tenacious and puck hungry. And I like to shoot. So you're going to get some speed, you're going to get a little bit of physicality and just a player that likes to play a hard game and score some goals every once in awhile.
Wait, so will Setoguchi shoot a lot or not? He keeps beating around the bush about it …
For those of you who might want to see things in black-and-white terms, Setoguchi averaged 2.67 shots per game in his career while Heatley averages about 3.1 per game. Havlat (2.57 per game) isn't a slouch in that area either; in fact, he put more pucks on net (229) than Heatley (217) or Setoguchi (199) did in 2010-11. That being said, it might be a matter of mindset more than anything else (plus, in the simplest way, they'll get more shots combined from Heatley and Setoguchi than they would from Havlat and Burns, even if Burns shoots pretty frequently for a blueliner).
Heatley's hit the 300 shot mark twice in his career and Setoguchi topped out at 246 in 2008-09. Mysteriously enough, those years also ranked as the best offensive outputs of their careers. Maybe the two wingers were shackled a bit by San Jose's shift to a more defense-minded scheme. If nothing else, the Wild could profit from letting both of them loose. Worst case scenario, the Wild are trying something different. We'll find out next season if different will mean better.

Wild could be an 8th seed next year.

ummm no
- sknut - Jul 11, 2011 at 9:18 PM
I am suprised about Havlats numbers he always seem to think pass first. I give Fletcher props that he identifed a need and addressed it in a big way.
- nogoodtomedead - Jul 11, 2011 at 10:59 PM
I'm a sharks fan and I'm sad to see heatley go. I know he never made the impact that was anticipated, but he wasn't bad either. I think he had 82 points two years ago, then had a down year which I attribute to poor health. I know people say he is a cancer and a whiner, but I've never read a bad thing about him from a coach or teammate. Pure salary move on SJ part, which I'm happy with, I like havlat and the extra 2.5 mil, so best wishes to heater-hope he gets back to form. Seto- you can have. Not a bad player, but Burns is a bigger addition- our blue line was way too thin. Seemed like a good deal for minnesota, but its a late 1st pick and a prospect who's future is yet to be determined. If Burns is signed long term I think he is the bigger impact player. Seto is real streaky, played with thorton most of the year and still couldn't be consistent. Heatley will be motivated I think and have a big year.
- greatminnesotasportsmind - Jul 12, 2011 at 12:25 AM
Burns is streaky himself. When he's on, he's in the Norris debate. He always seems to make that wrong move at the wrong time and gets burned. Burns has priced himself in the $5 mil per year.
Wild got exactly what they wanted. Seto is still young, but the Wild definarly wanted Coyle. If he's not in this trade, Burns is still in Minnesota. Wild also used that pick on Phillips who was the leagues leading scorer.
They made these moves to be competitive now with Heatly, but when his contract comes off the books the Wild will need to resign several key players and 7.5 mil goes along way.

The Wild will have a great regular season and flop in ther playoffs…Does that sound familiar Sharks fans?

A national report released from one of the top entities involved in tracking trends and results in higher education – The College Board – has highlighted the success of Florida's "2+2 Pathways to Success program" in a discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing four-year colleges as they work to create more efficient pathways for transfer students.
The report – featuring 12 four-year institutions across the United States – specifically cites the University of Central Florida, while acknowledging that many institutions in the State University System of Florida have successful, growing transfer student programs.
UCF has the most two-year degree transfers amid the 11 institutions in the State University System of Florida, is the largest institution in the State University System, and is the second-largest public university in the nation based on student enrollment at more than 50,000.
The College Board report also examines best practices that universities and colleges can adopt to serve growing numbers of transfer students nationwide.

Steamed buns were okay,..couldn't taste the difference between the pork one and the chicken one. The cashiers looked bored, impatient and seemed to get their kicks from making comments to each other regarding the current customers they were servicing.

I ordered chicken with cashew nuts lunch special. The chicken was undetectable in some kind of doughy greasy fried breading. I though it would be pieces of chicken. It didn't say otherwise on the menu. I wouldn't eat it because there was only the tiniest bits of meat within this gross coating. Also, the rice was old and stale tasting. What a waste of $10.00.

If you feel like being rushed and snapped at while you place a food order on the phone. This is the place for you. If you want to receive your order, give a generous tip, recieve a grunt from the delivery guy, this is the place for you. If you want your order to be incorrect at least 2/3rds of the time. This is the place for you. If you then call about the incorrect order, and receive no apology whatsoever and a manager that resents you for even calling. This is the place for you. Oh and the food...its okay.

I was upset when Ollies 84th Street closed. It wasn't my favorite Chinese restaurants but it was always consistent and convenient. It was like a neighborhood Chinese Diner. When Ollies To Go opened I was happy. Their food is even better than the bigger sit-down Ollies. The delivery is very quick. The old Ollies was closer but took much longer to deliver. I love the chicken and shrimp in brown sause, pepper steak and roast pork wonton and noodle soups. Pricier than most Chinese take out but worth it.

My wife and I have been regular customers for more than 6 months. At the beginning, the food ranged from not too bad to sometimes pretty good, and the place was a good value. It was never great, but it was reliable, and the service was also acceptable. Recently this has changed for the worse. The fish, vegetables and noodles are old and taste as if they had been kept in the refrigerator for about a week before being cooked. Finding someone who speaks enough English to take an order is an ordeal, but this will not be a problem for us, because we will not be ordering from there any longer. We are looking for a better Chinese take out restaurant to take the place of this one. I don't know how this restaurant can stay in business with such old, stale tasting food.

The few appetizers we ordered recently were a major disappointment, espcially the steamed vegetable dumplings -- perhaps a teaspoon of a vegetable mix enveloped in the thickest, gummiest, icky-green colored dough imaginable. Where in the world do they get these dumplings? They must be machine-made, for no self-respecting chef or sous-chef or busboy would admit to making them. I remember when Ollie's first opened on 84/B-way: the dumplings were made by hand in full few of passers-by in the restaurant's Broadway-facing window. After that ended, it was all down hill. Nothing much improved after their move to 89 St.

Food is good but the woman answering the phone could not speak english well enough to take an order. I patiently repeated my phone number 4 times and my address 3 times. very, very frustrating.

My vegan cosmetic regime
I've struggled lately to find cosmetic products that are vegan, not test on animals, perform well and are not filled with really toxic ingredients. Sometimes I would find a vegan product that worked well but I later found it was high in heavy metals etc.
These are the current products I am using most: Kiss My Face Underage moisturizer , Body Shop Extra Virgin Minerals compact foundation, Lush liquid eyeliner, Pacfica Lip Tint, & Zuzu Lipstick (in Starlit shade). I've chosen these items as they; perform well, are vegan and not tested on animals and seem to have decent ingredients. I use Good Guide to check for products with healthy ingredients etc. (GoodGuide is free and provides the world's largest and most reliable source of information on health, environmental, and social impacts of consumer products.)
What are your favourite products?

Ryan Hill Named ACC Men's Track Performer of the Year
March 15, 2013
GREENSBORO, N.C. - NC State senior distance runner Ryan Hill has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference's Men's Track Performer of the Year as announced Friday by the league office.
The conference's postseason honorees were selected by a vote of the ACC's head track & field coaches.
Hill placed second in the mile at the NCAA Championships with his second-best time of 3:55.25 in the mile run. The Hickory, N.C., native also finished 11th in the 3,000-meters with a time of 8:00.44. Hill's performances earned him his eighth and ninth All-America awards, which currently stand as the second most by a men's track runner in program history.
At the ACC Championships, Hill clocked a 4:05.71 to take top honors in the mile. In one of his most memorable performances, Hill broke the NC State and ACC records with his 3:54.89 time in the Wanamaker Mile at the prestigious Millrose Games in New York. The mark broke Tony Waldrop's 3:55 clip which sat at the top of the charts for 39 years. Hill's time stands as the fourth fastest in history by a collegian, and the second fastest by an American runner at the college level.

Pretty Little Liars
Who Is "A"? Our Top 3 Suspects From Pretty Little Liars Season 3 Summer Finale
So, you're still dying to know who the new "A" is on Pretty Little Liars. Don't worry — we've got our crack team of sleuths on the case, picking up even the tiniest clue from the summer finale for your mystery-solving pleasure. Here are some hints from Season 3, Episode 12: "The Lady Killer" that may help us solve this thing for good!
3. Garrett Reynolds
Why he might be "A": It now seems clear that Garrett (Yani Gellman) has a connection to the "A" team, since Mona (Janel Parrish) says that they planted Maya's phone on Paige in order to make her appear to be Maya's killer and get Garrett out of jail. And Garrett certainly knows Toby (Keegan Allen) well, since Garrett used to date Jenna (Tammin Sursok), so it's possible that Toby and Garrett have been conspiring against the Liars together. Whatever Garrett's up to, we felt a lot better with him behind bars.
Why he might not be: At the end of Season 2, Jenna gives page 5 of the autopsy report to Toby, who turns it over to the police to get Garrett busted. So if Toby and Garrett were in fact working together on the "A" team, you would think that Toby wouldn't turn Garrett in like that. We're also still wondering if there's more of a reason why Spencer's (Troian Bellisario) mom took Garrett's case. Mrs. Hastings may trust Garrett, but that doesn't mean that we have to.
2. Toby Cavanaugh
Why he might be "A": Our Spoby-loving hearts are shattered! It certainly appears that Toby is on the "A" team, as he was in front of Radley with Mona. But is he actually part of the team, or is he just playing the role to help protect Spencer and the girls? There are plenty of reasons as to why he would join the "A" team, given that he hated Ali for the Jenna thing and for sending him to juvie. But how could he do that to Spencer?! We're still in shock.
Why he might not be: Given that Toby is a hoodie-wearing, voice changer-using conspiracy partner with Mona, sorry Spoby fans, but Toby is on the "A" team. Plus, showrunner Marlene King said in an interview that Toby has zero good intentions from now on.
1. Alison DiLaurentis
Why she might be "A": Last week, we learned how much Alison hates Paige (Lindsey Shaw) — and that she's possibly even scared of Alison (Sasha Pieterse). So this week when we hear Mona say that the "A" team planted Maya's phone on Paige and planned to frame Paige for Maya's murder, it's safe to assume that Ali was behind the decision to bring down Paige. Paige might no longer be known as Pigskin, but we're thinking that Ali is still holding a grudge.
Why she might not be: We'd been getting used to seeing Alison show up regularly whenever there is a PLL finale, so it was surprising that she didn't stop by this week. That said, we still think that Ali (or her twin) is involved in the "A" team, so we can't wait to see if the second half of the season brings more clues about that. Quick question: Is it January yet?
Catch the PLL Halloween special on Tuesday, October 23 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC Family.
