Clippers 84, New York 81
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 11/14/07, 11:31pm:
Category: General
Posted by: Kevin Arnovitz
The Knicks are so bad it's contagious. I don't think there are five teams in the league the Clippers could've beaten tonight, but the Knicks are one of them. I forgot to set the Tivo before leaving for the game, and I've never been so grateful for my negligence. Can you imagine slogging through any portion of this game again? The number of misses – on both sides – from inside of ten feet was hellacious.
Some notes:
- One of the reasons we can attribute to Kaman's ascension this season is that he's learning how to spin away from double-teams. Basically, help defenders from the perimeter or weak side have been moving off their men to double low on Chris. But he's been anticipating the double-team -- quickly and decisively spinning baseline, or splitting the defenders before the help guy can fully trap him. At times tonight, Chris reverted by waiting too long to move toward the basket or pass out.
- Welcome to life without Elton Brand. The Clippers continue to get pounded on the offensive glass, as the Knicks grabbed 18 offensive boards. This tends to happen when your starting power forward records only 4 defensive rebounds in 34 minutes. Isn't it funny how strong defensive rebounding is one of those things you take for granted as a fan? For all the aggravation the Clippers have subjected you to over the past several years, you've never had to clinch your teeth at watching the opponent rack up second-chance points. It's excruciating.
- For all his failings, Stephon Marbury still has one of the nastiest crossovers in the business. The rest of his game is stunted and he's become puerile and decidedly uninteresting, $20 shoes aside.
- Cuttino Mobley didn't look 100% and you could see it in his post game. He couldn't execute that spin move off his defender to the hole.
- The Clippers sagged all night and their crappy defensive rotation left the Knicks with repeated opportunities on the arc. Fortunately for the Clips, the Knicks went 1-13 in 3PA. A good number of those were uncontested, most notably the wide open Marbury attempt with 0:44 remaining from the left corner that would've given New York a one-point lead.
- You can't overstate just how horrible Zach Randolph is defensively, and how little he seems to care.
The silver lining here was that the Clips got their share of good looks. I'd rather they see the basket and not finish than not get the shots at all.

Comments about Therm-A-Rest NeoAir XLite Sleeping Pad (Women's):
This worked wonderful on my 5 day backpacking trip to Glacier National Park. It was warm and cozy and gave me an extremely comfortable nights sleep. I usually have trouble sleeping on other pads when I go backpacking if they are not cushioned enough because my legs and arms fall asleep. With this pad, I was able to sleep in any position I wanted to with no pain whatsoever. I didn't wake up once all 4 nights of the trip. WAY WORTH THE INVESTMENT. The sound did not bother me at all either. After the 2nd night it tends to loosen up anyways.

Charlize Theron may play the evil queen in this month's Snow White and the Huntsman, but ask any mirror around and it will tell you that when it comes to invariably chic style both on the red carpet and in real life, the actress is truly the fairest of them all. Though most famously known for her bewitching looks and spectacular on-screen performances-she's also in the summer sci-fi thriller Prometheus, out now-Theron's exquisite taste and penchant for easy elegance has never been lost on us. Whether it's a romantic frock or polished airport ensemble, perfectly tousled locks or a chic red lip, the South African native always gets it right, and her irrefutable fashion sense has landed her in our June Style Spotlight!
On the Red Carpet
Theron's sartorial range on the red carpet-which ranges from sharp and daring to prim and ladylike-never ceases to excite us. Earlier this year, at the BAFTA Awards tea party in Los Angeles, the actress went for a refined look (bottom, right), selecting Stella McCartney's Lace Peplum Dress ($3995), flawlessly punctuated with nude Christian Louboutin sandals and Bottega Veneta's Mini Knot Clutch ($1380). Slicked-back hair and natural eye makeup kept the look feeling elegant and fresh, while bold red lips made for a stunning finish. In contrast to that very feminine and decidedly demure pick, we're also smitten with the Dior Haute Couture Black Silk Dress (price upon request, 800.929.DIOR) Theron wore to the London premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman last month (bottom, left). With a dramatic, Gothic glamour vibe, the semi-sheer, floor-grazing gown--styled here with Solange Azagury--Partridge emerald jewelry-demonstrates Theron's ability to execute edgier looks with ease.
At Events
Off the red carpet, Theron's ensembles are wholly desirable too! With her affinity for streamlined silhouettes and interesting footwear, the results are effortlessly chic and always noteworthy. Spotted out in New York a few weeks ago (top, left), the actress embraced a minimalist aesthetic, wearing a sleek black shift dress from the Lanvin F/W 12 collection. For a polished finish, she accessorized her perfectly pared-down look with Christian Louboutin's Decoupata Strappy Boots ($1295), a thin black watch, and two silver bangles. Theron reached for an unfussy combination once again while promoting Snow White and the Huntsman in Germany last month (top, right). We love the understated combination of her Rag & Bone Iris Shirttail Hem Top ($290), Alexander Wang two-tone skirt, and Giuseppe Zanotti t-strap sandals; though it errs on the casual side for this event, the clean lines and neutral colors make for a very stylish and directional result.
As you've probably gathered by now, Theron is attracted to polished pieces with a cool and easy vibe, a quality that is carried through her off-the-clock outfits as well. For example, we came across the leading lady at JFK airport a few weeks ago and were immediately drawn to her laid-back, sophisticated mix (large image). With the help of a gray blazer, white tee, cropped jeans, and Yosi Samra's Metallic Flats ($70) in Muted Powder, Theron assembled a comfortably chic en route ensemble that should be on your wardrobe itinerary this summer too!
On You
While Theron's beauty may be unparalleled, let us assure you that attaining her chic sensibilities is something everyone can do! To prove this point, we've rounded up an assortment of key pieces to help you create some Theron-inspired looks of your own. First, you'll want to pick up a few dress options-you never know when an extravagant event will pop up on your calendar! To emulate her stunning Dior look, go for a halter maxi dress in a semi-sheer fabric, like French Connection's Halter Maxi Dress ($261). We'd also like to direct you to Badgley Mischka Collection's Floral-Print Peplum Dress ($291) and Zara's Dress with Frill At The Hip ($90), which both bear a striking resemblance to Theron's Stella McCartney frock. Prefer a sleeker selection? Channel our style subject's Lanvin pick with either Vince's Sleeveless Shift Dress ($395) or Calvin Klein's Sleeveless Sheath Dress ($129.50). Just be sure to add some strappy sandals, like Ann Taylor's Harper Gladiator Sandals ($248), to add interest to your minimal look.
Once you have your dressier options sorted, it's time to gather a few necessary separates. A knit pencil skirt is always a good item to have on hand, so follow Theron's lead and snag a two-tone style like See by Chloe's Two-Tone Stretch Wool-Blend Mini Skirt ($375) or Forever 21's Colorblocked Ponte Knit Skirt ($16). We promise you'll love the slimming silhouette! Add Mango's Slim-Fit Round Neck Jumper ($40) and a pair of fancy heels--we like Topshop's Reim Skinny Strap Sandals ($90) and B Brian Atwood's Campisa Suede Pumps ($400)--to incorporate even more Theron panache to your outfit. When mimicking the actress' easygoing on-board look, a combination like Coldwater Creek's Curved Hem Knit Jacket ($70), Kain's Classic Modal and Silk-Blend T-Shirt ($90), J. Crew's Ankle Stretch Toothpick Jeans ($125), and Sam Edelman'sFelicia Metallic Flats ($90) is exactly what you need! To complete your Theron transformation, keep your beauty look low-key and fresh-that means minimal eye makeup and subtly rosy cheeks-with a bold red lip (try Vincent Longo's Velvet Riche Rejuvenating Lipstick ($23) in Dakota Red), and you're sure to have all eyes on you at your next outing!--Jessica Baker

The Fall 2011 Collection features an interesting contrast between dark, seasonal prints and lightweight fabrics. Channeling hints of a boho vibe along with dresses, tops, and an assortment of thick sweaters, faux fur vests and oversized velvet blazers in black, green and navy. Where apparel is print-heavy, shoes and handbags will stick to a palette of blacks and browns.
As a world-traveled designer from Los Angeles, Cynthia Vincent has universal appeal and is widely regarded as one of the fashion worlds top contemporary designers. She channels her energy into classic, feminine, fresh silhouettes that encourage women to express their individuality through well-conceived, impeccably crafted, timeless garments.
Cynthia began her love affair with fashion at the early age of six and later studied at Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design under the M.A.G.I.C scholarship. After graduating with a Silver Thimble Award, the fashion world immediately took notice. Cynthia was recruited by a handful of prestigious design houses including Harriet Selwyn before launching her first company, St. Vincent, in 1993. St. Vincent was an immediate success and Cynthia consequently merged St. Vincent to form the contemporary line Vince.
In 2003 Cynthia launched TWELFTH STREET BY CYNTHIA VINCENT. Named after the street she grew up on, the media immediately applauded TWELFTH STREETs irresistible combination of casual elegance and pitch perfect style. On-trend but never trendy, the collection became one of the fastest growing, must-have labels in the marketplace. From Sienna Miller to Ashley Olsen, the line instantly became a celebrity favorite.
Cynthia added shoes to the TWELFTH STREET collection in 2003. Created out of the designers innate love of shoes and the desire to offer her customer high quality, beautifully designed footwear at prices comparable to her collection, the launch was a success. Just as the clothing received immediate attention, so did Cynthias heels, gladiators and ballerina flats. Scarlet Johanson, Nicole Ritchie and Liv Tyler are but a few of TWELFTH STREETs devout shoe shoppers.
With the launch of handbags in Fall 2009, today TWELFTH STREET BY CYNTHIA VINCENT is a complete lifestyle collection. Drew Barrymore and Rachel Bilson have already been spotted with the bags, and if the past is any indication of what is to come, there is no measure to the success of the new handbag line.

Utah Governor Gary Herbert seated gets ready to sign the bill as Cheryl Adams (president, Women's Italian-American Civic League), Michael Homer (vice counsel of Italy for Utah), Michael Ori (president, Men's Italian-American Civic League), Walt Borla (secretary, Stella D'America Lodge) and Christine Watkins (State Representative District 69) stand by to watch.
Utah Governor Gary Herbert hosted a large group of Utah residents of Italian-American heritage on April 14 in the Gold Room of the state capitol for the signing of a resolution designating the month of October as "Italian-American Heritage Month" in Utah.
The resolution calling for the designation was introduced by State Representative Christine Watkins at the suggestion of the Italian-American organization, Stella D'America of Helper. The resolution was approved unanimously by both houses of the legislature and sent on to the governor for his signature on April 14. State Representative Watkins represents a large portion of the legislative district that includes the area in which the Helper lodge is located.
In promoting the passage of the resolution, Stella D'America was joined by the Salt Lake City Italian-American Civic League and the resolution was supported by State Senator David Hinkins in the Utah State Senate who also represents the area Stella D'America is located in.
The resolution recognizes the many contributions made by Italian-American citizens of Utah to the history and development of the state. October was appropriately chosen as the month for the observance as Columbus Day, a national holiday, falls in the month of October. The resolution cites the documentary, "Our Story: Italian-American in Utah", a film produced by Joanne Milner of Salt Lake City., as evidence of the richness of Utah's Italian-American heritage. A great deal of the documentary was filmed in Helper.

HAMBURG, N.Y. -- Over the past 36 hours, Hamburg Attorney James Tresmond's phone has been ringing off the hook from New Yorkers who want to join his lawsuit against the state regarding the new gun control measures signed Tuesday by Governor Cuomo.
Tresmond says the law goes too far in restricting gun rights, and so far, more than 10,000 people have either called or emailed him asking to be part of the lawsuit.
He said he expects to take 3 to 4 weeks to research the topic and write out the lawsuit, which will likely be filed in federal court. He's working with a half dozen other attorneys from other parts of the state.
"I just want the people to know that we're promoting the rights, the constitutional rights of the people on the side of wanting to keep their lawful firearms," Tresmond said.
Tresmond is looking closely at the 5th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which says a person shall not "be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
Tresmond asked, "Can the government take what rightfully belongs to somebody without due process and without just compensation?"
If you would like to join the lawsuit, Tresmond said the best way to reach him is by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

CARTHAGE While many people spent Thanksgiving Day slaving over a meal for their families, volunteers spent their day making and delivering free meals for an entire community.
I just hate to think of anybody being alone on Thanksgiving, said Carthage Lions Club member Jeanne Fuller.
Ms. Fuller and her family came up with the dinner idea. The family decided to do something to give back to the community, and it evolved into the Community Thanksgiving Feast.
Thursdays meal was hosted by Carthage Elks Lodge 1762, which is at 511 Fulton St., and organized by members of the Elks and the Lions.
An estimated 60 people turned out for the meal, with close to 30 volunteers offering their time.
Some volunteers, like Anne M. Rohr, have come to offer a helping hand at the dinner each year since its inception in 2009. My family will be getting together, but not till later. They know this is important to me, said Ms. Rohr.
There were plenty of other reasons for volunteers to offer up their time on the holiday.
Brandon J. Lawton, 15, came to earn community service credit for school.
I served food and set up tables, Brandon said. He said the best part of the experience was knowing that he was helping people.
Craig Brennan came out with four other members of his family to help.
I thought its a good thing for my family to do on Thanksgiving, to give back, Mr. Brennan said. He delivered several of the approximately 60 orders that came in for takeout. Its very difficult for people today to make ends meet, and in some ways this helps.
But Adam J. Fuller, Elks leading knight, stressed that the dinner was not a charity; it is about offering companionship to those who otherwise would spend the holiday alone, he said.
Its for the community. There are no qualifications to come, no questions asked, he said.
They come out if theyre alone, or maybe theyre an elderly couple that wants to socialize. Its for people to be together with family and friends, Ms. Fuller said.
This was true for Kimberly J. Lithkousky. This was her second year bringing daughters Edith A., 6, and Clarissa A., 18, to the dinner.
My husbands deployed and my older daughters in Germany, Ms. Lithkousky said. It makes us feel not so lonely.
The girls said it was all delicious, save for one thing.
Everything, but not for this, said Edith, gesturing to the squash.
To be more inviting, meals were served buffet-style at two separate times rather than during an extended three hours.
We wanted to plan a sense of community, Ms. Fuller said. We spread people out, where otherwise a person may come in by themself and feel alone.
An estimated 120 pounds of turkey breast was brought in for the meal, in addition to three hams. One ham was donated, as was a whole turkey. This was the first year that ham was a menu option.
The majority of the funding came from local businesses and organizations. Leftovers were boxed up for volunteers and families as they were leaving.
Ms. Fuller said it was another successful year.
The Elks and the Lions anticipate holding the dinner again next year.

STERLING, Va.(WUSA)--- Thanksgiving dinner is an extra special time for members of the military who often cannot be with loved ones for a long time.
Through donations to the Turkeys for Troops program, theUnited Service Organizations' USO-Metropolitan Washingtonwill prepare Thanksgiving gift basketsfor military families in need.
Stefanie Wall, 31, volunteers for the USO Lounge inside Dulles International Airport.
"My family has a history of service in the military I wanted to give back to the organization that has treated my family so well," Wall said.
Interacting with the military reminds Wall of her "little brother," and how she almost lost him.
On Oct. 24, 2009, Wall's brother, Army Captain Mark Wise, 27, was hit with an IED in Afghanistan. He was 24 at the time.
When paratroopers rescued him, the left side of his body was severely injured.
"I had just gotten back from my trip when I was told. I think I didn't believe it at first, because I didn't want to believe it," Wall explained.
Captain Wise began his strenuous recovery at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center (formally Walter Reed Army Medical Center).
"They put him in a medical coma to allow his body to reduce the brain swelling and help his organs and everything stabilizes," Wall said.
Doctors said Wise would have to use a wheelchair for a long time due to the extensive damage to his legs.
"He wouldn't accept the doctors saying he wouldn't walk. 'It's going to be a long time before you can do that.' He would push himself to walk and he would push himself to wear these contraptions on the legs that would help rebuild the muscle."
Today Wise not only walks, he runs. He is an active participant in triathlons, marathons and other physical activities.
Meanwhile, the injury has brought Wall's tight-knit military family, even closer.
"I think the accident has changed the family in just not that we never didn't appreciate each other. But you don't walk out that door without saying 'I love you' one more time or without making that extra step to call,"Wall said.
During her brother's recovery process, Wall witnessed the impact of the USO on wounded warriors. Wise enjoyed theentertainment and family dinner nightsorganizedby the USO. The holiday season wasalso aspecial time.
"When my brother was at Walter Reed the USO...would come and bring Thanksgiving meals to the troops that maybe couldn't leave the hospital wards to get down to the cafeteria or to get out and celebrate the holidays," she recounted.
"So I know it's extremely important. It's something that helps lift their spirits."

HENRIETTA, N.Y. (AP/WGRZ) - A Greece woman charged in connection with two guns used in a deadly Christmas Eve ambush of firefighters in Webster made a brief court appearance Tuesday.
Dawn Nguyen is accused of lying on a form when she bought a shotgun and semiautomatic rifle in 2010. Her case was referred to the grand jury.
Prosecutors say she claimed they were for her, but they really were for neighbor and ex-convict William Spengler Jr. of Webster. He had the guns with him when he killed two volunteer firefighters and wounded two others before killing himself.
The 24-year-old Nguyen arrived at Henrietta Town Court Tuesday on a state charge of filing a falsified business record. Nguyen and her attorney, John Parrinello, declined comment.
She appeared on a similar federal charge last month.

In a small ceremony Saturday outside Watertown International Airport near Dexter, Capt. Michaela Ormsbee of Lowville became the first female commander of the Civil Air Patrols Fort Drum-Watertown Composite Squadron, NY-406.
Im happy about it, but also I feel I have to make doubly sure that I do a good job, she said before the ceremony. Women have to work a little bit harder, especially if you have somebody that you replaced thats a great commander.
Capt. Ormsbee succeeds her husband, Maj. Robert R. Ormsbee. He recently was appointed professional development officer and assistant emergency services officer for the Civil Air Patrol of Central New York Group. The group oversees squadrons in Watertown, Fulton, Syracuse, Rome and Utica. The Civil Air Patrol is the civilian auxiliary of the Air Force.
Ive been the commander for four years; its time for me to relinquish my command, Maj. Ormsbee said.
Capt. Ormsbee will oversee 31 members within the squadron, which covers Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties. The volunteer force includes adults as well as cadets ages 12 to 18. Capt. Ormsbee has been a member of the squadron for three years, filling various roles in that time.
The squadron was re-established in July 2009 after it had been disbanded following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The group used to be responsible primarily for air surveillance, but according to Capt. Ormsbee, cadets now train in air and ground disaster readiness and support, as well as search and rescue.
My main goal now is to train the cadets in emergency services and also in cadet programs. Emergency services is essential by wing command and is now the utmost important thing to do, she said.

In order to speed production and development of new vaccines and try to inoculate more people, the Federal government is pumping almost $2 billion into helping researchers and biotechnology companies develop new drugs, vaccines and equipment to shorten the six- to nine-month time frame currently needed to make a flu vaccine, according to an Aug. 25 article in The Wall Street Journal.
This year, the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention is recommending that everyone ages 6 months and older be vaccinated. The flu strains being vaccinated against include last year's H1N1 (swine flu) and strains of H3N2 and influenza B. As usual, the vaccine is being developed before the flu season actually begins, making its "effectiveness" a crapshoot.
Of course, flu vaccines are worse than worthless for patients. Research shows that average vaccine must be administered to 100 adults to prevent one case of flu. If the vaccine is designed specifically for the strain of flu causing the outbreak the disease is prevented only once for every 33 people vaccinated.
On top of that, the vaccine causes a myriad of health problems. According to a report by the Vaccine Safety Risk Assessment Working Group, a committee appointed by the Congressionally-created public oversight agency National Vaccine Advisory Committee, last year's swine flu vaccine caused three serious side effects: Guillain-Barrè Syndrome, Bell's Palsy and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a blood disorder.
Already this year Australia has banned the flu vaccine for children under the age of 5 because of increased instances of vomiting, high fever and convulsions after vaccination. Sweden and Finland are reporting young patients developing narcolepsy, and France, Germany and Norway are also recording serious side effects. The European Union has launched an investigation, according Dr. Joseph Mercola.
Mercola also writes:
You should know that anytime you receive a flu shot, you are taking a risk. In order to get the perceived benefit that you or your family is being protected from the flu… you are being injected with numerous substances even above and beyond the three flu viruses — substances with known risks to your health.
Toxic substances found in various flu vaccines include:
- Dangerous levels of mercury in the form of thimerosal, a deadly preservative that is 50 times more toxic than regular mercury
- Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)
- Formaldehyde — a known cancer-causing agent
- Neomycin and streptomycin (antibiotics)
- Aluminum — a neurotoxin linked to Alzheimer's disease
- Polysorbate 80 (Tween80™) — which can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis
- Phenol (carbolic acid)
- Resin and gelatin — known to cause allergic reactions
- Triton X100 (detergent)
So every year that you get a flu shot, you are taking a risk that one or more of these substances, or the flu viruses themselves, will cause a problem in your body.
Ask yourself: Is this a risk I'm willing to take?

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
There are some who may think that the car shows are a relatively new development in our society. Most think that car shows didn't really exist much before the 1960s.
But those that think that have been fooled by the hype that the media has given us as things are always the "best" or "biggest ever."
While no one can pinpoint the earliest car show that took place in Carbon County (because it might have been three guys with their vehicles showing off on Main Street in 1902 for all we know) the first large organized car show featured in the local newspapers came in April 1926.
For most people, a car show is generally about old cars. So some might ask how there could be old cars in 1926?
Well there were. In fact, there was an award for the oldest car given at the show which was held April 9-10, 1926.
The News-Advocate of April 8 announced the show on its front page, with the announcement taking the entire space. The paper stated that there would be an "elaborate exhibition of the latest models in all leading cars and accessories" and that a "master parade of old-time cars with twenty four prizes given out on Friday evening."
Along with the car show came a Saturday evening of music and dancing at the Price City Hall with the Blue Melody Boys, featuring tunes that would allow people to do dances like waltzes and the Foxtrot. During the day, the Carbon High School band played concerts in the downtown area.
This event was a big deal for Price City, as the city's electrical department put up special lights and merchants decorated their stores for the celebration. On Friday afternoon there was a "monster parade of old cars." The News-Advocate reported in the April 15 edition that "many old cars and a number of new cars were entered" in the parade that took place at 3:20 p.m. The parade didn't only stay on Main Street but circled the community on various avenues before ending on Main. It was an early version of a cruise-in.
On the days of the show, Main Street between sixth and seventh east was lined with automobiles and accessory display booths. Hundreds of people attended the event from all over the area.
The prizes awarded went in various categories including those for the oldest car (which was the grand prize), best decorated car, the shabbiest car, the squeakiest car, the largest car, the car with the largest family in it, the car with the oldest man and oldest woman in it, the one with the prettiest girl, the one with the youngest child, the car with the most spare tires (important in the days of roads that were virtually non-existent beyond town), the one with the most dilapidated top (many were convertibles), the most flat tires, the funniest car, and as the paper described it "the queerest car." Also dealers in town gave awards for the oldest car of the brands they represented (that included auto manufacturers like Chrysler, Nash, Maxwell, Studebaker, Buick, Star, and Willis Knight). The oldest car award went to Reid Vulcanizing and Electric Shop. The paper did not note what kind or the year of the car they entered. Overall more than 20 prizes were awarded.
Despite the fact that some claimed the show would be an annual event, it was not held again during any spring in the decade after. And not since has the front page of the Sun Advocate or its predecessors been taken up with a car show.
It was a one time thing that caught the fancy of the area for a few days and then disappeared, only to reappear as the numerous car shows that have grown up over the years in the area that take place today.

If your old gem definitions use
:lib => false, don't forget to change it to
:require => false
Additionally, older versions of Bundler use the deprecated named argument
:require_as (instead of Rails'
:lib and Bundler 0.9's
:require) to override the path that Bundle
requires for you.
Here is an example of how to tell Bundler 0.9.x not to require a gem automatically:
