OUTDOORS; A Little Cold and Wet Is Fine For Late Spring's Cornucopia
By Ernest Schwiebert
Published: June 8, 2003
Things sometimes come together in moments of tranquillity, and small epiphanies seem unusually welcome these days. I watched with a sense of wonder as a mature doe dropped a fawn beside a dead tree felled in a winter storm, less than 30 yards behind the house.
The doe has been a regular pilgrim in recent years, foraging patiently in our woods, and resting in the sun among the boulders. It was early and rather cool, and the doe had quietly anticipated her calving time in a sheltered place exposed to the morning sun.
Her breakfast miracle was a translucent sac that seemed to enclose a loose bundle of kindling, but it stirred and moved, until the fawn's gangling legs worked free.
It seemed all wetness and spindle-leggedness at first, unable to raise itself, its spotted pelt slippery with mucus and blood. It tried to stand and failed. Its tiny head was high, and it struggled to stand, only to collapse like a house of cards, as its mother began to wash it vigorously. Its efforts to walk were comic, all legs and no direction, and it seemed wobbly and frail. The mother washed the baby several times. Its ears were up, sampling a universe of unfamiliar sounds. The mother withdrew to rest beside the deadfall, as her fawn explored the strange new place it had unwillingly entered, until it finally settled to doze in the winter leaves.
It was a potsherd of magic.
We have witnessed a green winter in the foothill ridges above Princeton, N.J., and this unpredictable spring has remained quixotic and dour. I went fishing again, hoping a premature fawn might be evidence that the season had regained its equilibrium. It was a warm morning, with no wind and few clouds, but it had been 34 degrees during the night.
Brodhead Creek, in northeast Pennsylvania, proved surprisingly void, 45 degrees when I started to fish, and my toes soon ached. But its temperature had climbed to 58 before I finally started home. I had caught and released seven trout, but had captured them with too many flies to have resolved the minor conundrums at hand.
Fish and aquatic insects have no body temperatures of their own and are at the mercy of stream temperatures to regulate their metabolisms. Neither trout nor aquatic insects cope well with steep variations in barometric pressure and temperature, and neither seem particularly fond of such bright, cloudless days. Most anglers will agree that dull weather, with a steady barometer and veiled in misting rain, is optimal unless it is simply too wintry and raw.
''Why do fish and fly hatches seem to come better with a little rain?'' I once asked a boyhood mentor in the Catskills.
''They're already cold and wet,'' he replied. ''They don't mind a little more.''
Our Appalachian spring has been late this year, and stream insects usually found emerging had still not appeared last week. Yellow-bodied Ceratopsyche sedges have begun to trickle off in modest numbers, but fish are still not taking them well, and the yellow-bodied Ephemerella mayflies called Pale Evening Duns have not yet arrived. These are bellwether species that precede the most theatrical aquatic hatches of the trout-fishing year.
Other caddisflies are also important in late spring and early summer. Perhaps the most notable are medium-sized specimens of the green-bodied genus called Rhyacophila, and the plentiful slate-winged sedges of the somber Psilotreta clan. Old soft-hackled Yorkshire patterns like the Partridge and Green, and the Partridge and Olive, are workable imitations.
But the last few weeks of spring usually surrender a cornucopia of important mayflies, and their hatchings and twilight egg-layings are just cause for celebration.
Few are more important than the closely related genera Stenonema and Stenacron. These are rather large mayflies with handsome mottled wings, and anglers have given them names like March Brown, Gray Fox and Light Cahill. The first two seem to emerge sporadically, between late morning and afternoon, in sufficient numbers to trigger rises of trout, and after they have been hatching steadily, fish seem to watch for them. Anglers may fish imitations at random with reasonable success. Light Cahills are mostly evening hatches, and large mating swarms of all three mayflies are typically encountered at twilight.
Other pale Ephemerella flies also appear at twilight in late spring, and there is another small species that most anglers describe as the Pale Sulphur. There are morning hatches called Blue Winged Olives, and the primary species involved include Ephemerella cornuta and the slightly smaller Ephemerella cornutella. The timing of their emergences is governed by air temperatures the night before. Cold nights result in late-morning hatches, while warm nights mean fly-fishers should expect to find the Olives before breakfast. Mating choreography occurs in early evening, and their small blackish-olive spinners usually fall spent at nightfall.
Perhaps the most theatrical Eastern hatch is the large mayfly that fly-fishers call the Green Drake. Its taxonomic name is Ephemera guttulata, and it is a unique late-spring species indigenous only to Eastern trout streams.

Let's Go Mountaineers!!!!
If you didn't know, we are big Mountaineer fans in this family. WVU is where I met hubs almost 25 years ago, when we were both students there. You may also know that our daughter Mykal is currently a student and proud Mountaineer, as well; and last night during the game, my son Con sent me a text that he has made his decision to become a Mountaineer after he graduates next year.
We have quite a few Mountaineer alums in the family, besides hubs. My sister, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law all graduated from there. My brother-in-law, John, works for the University. He does most of their sports writing. He is responsible for much coordination of West Virginia University's official athletic web site , in addition to Mountaineer Athletic Club.com, WVU Game.com, WVU Varsity Club.com and Shop WVU.com for the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics.You can't make your way around the West Virginia Mountaineers Sports Web site without seeing his name on a variety of articles. He takes care of much of their social media and you can find him @johnantonik on twitter. He has written a couple of books that have done very well as well. He wrote the West Virginia University Football Vault: The History of West Virginia Football, and Roll Out the Carpet: 1o1 Seasons of West Virginia University Basketball. (Yes, I am proud!!)
So last night was our biggest rivalry game of the year. WVU vs Pitt. This game is officially called the backyard brawl because a mere 70 miles separate the schools. It is also the 14th oldest rivalry in the country. I can tell you that Mountaineer fans count the season a success if they win this game, even if they lose all others. I only just learned that the first game was played back in 1895, and since 1962 the games have alternated between schools. What made this even more thrilling to attend was the fact that due to Pitts move to the ACC and WVU's move to the Big 12, this may be the last Backyard Brawl ever.
This was also Nick and Ethan's first college football game, and I was so hoping they would have a good time. I was not disappointed. From the moment we arrived at the stadium I could tell they were excited. Mykal had a student ticket and was going to sit with her friends. She asked Con if he wanted to sit with them to get a feel for being a student there. So off they went to the other side of the stadium. The rest of us went to our seats and waited.
The WVU Marching Band, in my opinion is one of the best in the world. There is a reason they are called the pride of West Virginia. The boys loved the pre game show that they played before the start of the game. Hubs and I took turns explaining to them the traditions of forming the flying WV and forming the state. We told them that the unofficial school song was Country Roads and sure enough they played it. While the band was playing, there was a camera woman shooting the crowd for the Jumbo Tron. I was thrilled to see Nick and Ethan on the screen, they were off the chain excited. (I wish I could have gotten a picture!!)
Soon the teams came out for warm ups. Of course when Pitt came out, there were boos and chants of Eat Sh*T Pitt!! which I discouraged them from joining in on. Then introductions of Seniors, for Senior night. Finally, the Mountaineer shot his musket and led the team to the field.
I will refrain from giving you a blow-by-blow of the game, instead I will try to sum up. The first half was bad, and we were afraid that the outcome might not be in WVU's favor. By halftime, Pitt was leading 17 - 7. As bad as it looked, Mountaineer fans never gave up. We watched as WVU came back to make it 14 - 17, and then watched as they took the lead to make it 21 - 20. Our defense won that game for us. As it looked like Pitt might have a chance to go down and kick a field goal to win the game, our defense came up big with some major sacks. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, we were all jumping up and down cheering at our victory. No one left the stands as Pitt walked off the field. The players, and band were on the field, and all the fans were in the stands as they played, once again, Country Roads. The stadium was filled with the sounds of everyone singing as they threw their arms around the shoulders of their seat mates. It was absolutely awesome.
We were able to meet up with Myke and Con outside our section. They were so excited. Mykal had taken Con to the student section to sit with her friends. He had a blast. He couldn't stop talking about the traditions that went on there. He told me that he had made up his mind, if WVU accepted him that was where he was going. Mykal cracked me up when she said to him "Hey if WVU took me, then you are a shoe in" As we walked back to the car, people were chanting "Let's Go Mountaineers" It was definitely a great day to be a WVU fan, a Pitt fan not so much.
I have included some pictures from the night, I hope that you enjoy them.

Most Helpful
I followed the recipe without any substitutions or changes. It was good (a little on the bland side) but nothing special.
We loved this. I served it with brown rice instead of the noodles since we are noodled out and it went very well together. I also left out the onion and used an Italian herbal blend rather than the individual herbs. Everyone from the 5 year old to the husband loved this so I will be making it again. Thanks for posting it.

Three words: Bruins in five.
Hardcore puck-talk next week, I promise. This one's mostly devoted to the draft, plus the usual hate mail. And sorry, Rob, we're going to learn more than five things today…
I'm a little disappointed in you; I would have thought the ``Ellis Hobbs Sucks'' article would have been written and posted by the start of the sixth round, but you didn't get it up on WEEI.com until around 11:00 p.m. on Sunday. Maybe you liked him more than we knew.
A: No, Matt. I had that thing in Bradford's in-box immediately, but he and his minions buried me (again). I will say that once he finally got around to posting it, he included a fabulous picture of Hobbs jiving at his locker. I could virtually see the words, "Felger is a minimum-level guy" coming out of Ellis' mouth. Outstanding.
Anyway, I want to make one thing clear about the Hobbs era. I don't blame him. It's not his fault he sucks. He just is what he is: A nickel guy and good return man. In fact, I think Ellis worked hard and did everything he could to be a good corner. He just didn't have the skills. He was a tough, confident kid, but it wasn't enough. If you want to blame someone, blame the Patriots. They didn't want to pay for Ty Law or Asante Samuel, and their cornerback acquisitions, both in the draft and free agency, were spotty at best during that period. So Hobbs became the No. 1 corner by default. He didn't put himself in that role. Belichick put him there.
I just watched you moan and groan to Tom ``E'' Curran on the Monday night Comcast show. I generally agree with you, but I think you're off base bitching over the Pats' getting two fifth-round picks for Ellis Hobbs, who was their No. 1 corner and a third-round pick a few years ago. I actually think that is good value for Hobbs considering he was only a serviceable corner, but more importantly he only had one year remaining on his deal, so the Pats weren't dealing from a position over leverage.
On a side note, I was walking through the city a few weeks ago and saw Bert Breer ``training'' for the marathon. I think it's a dead heat between he and Tanguay for the biggest FUP on CSN.
Aaron Burr
A: Fair point on Tanguay and Breer, Aaron.
As for the rest, you misheard me. I never said the Pats didn't get enough for Hobbs. I said the fact they got so little proved he stunk. And because he was their No. 1 corner, it also proved how bad the entire Pats secondary was last year. I stand by that. The point you make on the contract is a fair one. The Eagles may have him for only a year, which diminished his value. Still, if he could play the Pats would have gotten more.
It's been about a month since I've written into the bag ... So I would just like to say goodbye to Mr. ``point-to-my-balls-even-when-I-get-beat-on-a-pass,'' aka MR. CROTCH CHOP, aka Ellis Hobbs. Thank god.
Now I have a question about the draft. The Patriots signed Shawn Springs, Leigh Bodden, and James Sanders. They just drafted Brandon Meriweather, Terrance Wheatley, and Jonathan Wilhite. Now they get Patrick Chung and they draft Darius Butler. That is eight relatively new DBs. I know they had one of the worst pass defenses in the league, but do you think this is a tad excessive? Don't get me wrong. I love their new batch of players, but don't you think they should have addressed ILB? They have Mayo and Bruschi to anchor that spot. Are they hoping Crable is the man? Why not spend some money on ONE proven vet, in either a trade (Sheldon Brown) instead of spending moderate money on several unproven rookies? Let me know, Felger.
Fall River
A: I don't blame them for throwing a lot of picks at the secondary. It's a hard position to project (especially for Belichick, it seems), so you better have a lot of fall-back options. Some guys just aren't going to work out. On the linebacker thing, I agree with you to an extent. I think Tedy Bruschi has been a liability for a while now. I've heard from Patriots sources that Belichick likes his young linebackers, guys like Vince Redd and Gary Guyton. There could certainly be an element of spin there, with the Pats trying to justify the Vrabel move. Or it could be the straight shot. We'll see. A Jason Taylor signing would certainly change the equation as well. But if Taylor doesn't come up and the Pats suffer at linebacker this season, there will be some easy second-guesses to be made.
Once again the evil genius fooled the crap out of all of us. To make multiple deals to avoid paying first-round money must mean that Bill thinks this wasn't as deep a draft as the so-called experts like Peter King (nice call there, fat boy) and Mr. never-has-a-bad-hair-day Mel Kiper (get a real job, Mel) thought. Once again, coach Bill goes outside the box. Last year he hit a granny with Jerod mayo. Let's hope lightening strikes again.
Paul Baranofsky
A: Yes, those deals Belichick made on the second day (trading off 2009 third-rounders for 2010 second rounders) are what you would call no-brainers. Here's the thing, though: This defense needs players, not future picks. I think it's infinitely more important that Darius Butler or Patrick Chung be able to contribute than it is for the Pats to have three second-round picks next year. If a percentage of the picks don't contribute, then this is a bad draft -- forget the trades.
I think Bill Belichick will have to be six feet under before he picks a USC defensive player. He will never draft a Pete Carroll-produced player. Sorry, I'm not shocked that there were no linebackers taken high by the Pats.
Hazleton, PA
A: An interesting point. Belichick has now run 10 drafts in New England and he's only selected two players from Carroll's Trojans, and both were late-round flyers: Matt Cassel (seventh round in 2005) and linebacker Oscar Lua (seventh round in 2007). USC has had as many players drafted into the NFL over the past decade as anyone, maybe more, and yet only a couple of long-shots made their way to New England. Coincidence? I'm with you, Sean. Unlikely.
DB Felger,
Since BB did his usual, trade-a-bunch-of-picks-for-a-bunch-of-other-picks-and-a-bag-of-footballs draft -- is there any chance the Pats pick up Larry Foote, who just got released by Pittsburgh? He played in a 3-4 and would be an upgrade over ``the statue formerly called Bruschi.'' I'm glad the Pats are so loaded they can waste a second-rounder on a big stiff who can't even speak English (tackle Sebastian Vollmer) and a third-rounder on a WR who won't be able to play this year (Brandon Tate)! Is Gisele going to translate the blocking schemes into German for Vollmer? When are you going to ``man up'' and call BB on his crappy drafts? He's a great coach, but he shouldn't be allowed to buy the groceries. Get your lips off BB's backside! Oh yeah, that headshot of yours on the web site makes it look like you are constipated. Can't WEEI splurge for the services of a professional photographer to make it look like you're not in pain?
A: Agreed on the photo. Thanks, Rob. How many different ways are you going to try to submarine my career?
As for the rest of the e-mail, wow. You think I'm a Belichick rumpswab? I'd like to introduce you to about 250,000 kids on the Internet. I think you got the wrong guy. Either way, you go way too far in your analysis of Belichick. His drafts haven't been crappy. They just haven't been as good as some people think. But I'd still let him pick my groceries any day of the week. I'd choose him to make those decisions over 90 percent of the guys in the league (I'd say the only teams that have consistently drafted better than the Pats this decade are the Colts, Steelers and Chargers). As for Foote, I'd take him.
Good stuff with Albert Breer on draft day -- loved the hard-core football analysis. I have to say that one of the biggest myths propagated by both local and national sports media is that the Patriots' roster is so deep and talent-laden that the team has the luxury of trading out of the first round and trading current picks for assets in future years. You would think that the Patriots actually won their division and made the playoffs last year. What am I missing? Sorry, but the Patriots' roster isn't nearly as good as people want to believe. The defense is, at best, average and, at worst, bad.
The front three are very good against the run but that's it, and Jarvis Green looks like he's on the decline. As for the secondary, I just don't see what Belichick see in James Sanders. Brandon Meriweather looks more and more like he was a reach in the first round and the current crop of corners stink. And, no, Shawn Springs (older than Christ) and Leigh Bodden (a Lions reject) don't inspire confidence. As for Wheatley, all the pre-draft medical reports on him said he had a bum wrist and guess what? He promptly re-injured his wrist within minutes of seeing extended playing time. We already know about the problems at outside linebacker. We could further debate how good the Patriots offensive line really is and the long-term viability of the Patriots receiver position given the coaching staff's inability to develop young talent there, but I'll leave that for another day. It's all fine and good to trade draft picks until you're blue in the face, but let's hope Belichick found some true talent in this and last year's draft classes (other than Mayo, who was a great pick). Otherwise, this team is going to become mediocre fast.
A: Different Jack, same message. I'm more optimistic about the new guys in the secondary than you are. I think, for the most part, when Belichick really tries to solve a problem he succeeds. And so that's what I'm expecting. I mean, they've got to find four or five good players out of their new group of eight -- Sanders, Meriweather, Springs, Bodden, Wheatley, Wilhite, Chung and Butler -- don't they? That's a lot of capital to expend in one area and get nothing out of it.
The one thing you said that scared me was the item about Wheatley's wrist. You're right: He red-shirted his junior year at Colorado with a chronic wrist problem. If that's what derails his career, we'll have another second-guess opportunity on our hands.
I used to love the draft. But now I realize that….
1.) Bill knows more than me.
2.) You cannot project a player's durability.
3.) We should all Tivo it and watch it during Super Bowl halftime.
A: 1. Don't let that deter you. Second-guessing is part of the fun, even when the guy you're questioning is one of the best. I enjoy it, anyway. 2. See above. 3. I say we bring back Janet.
Subj: Everette Brown to Carolina = Peppers?
Everette wasn't drafted until the second round, but he was Carolina's first pick. Carolina traded away next year's first round pick to the San Francisco 49ers to ensure they got Everette with their first pick in the second round, the 43rd overall pick. Was the move up to get Everette targeted as the replacement for Peppers?
The Patriots typically maneuvered their way around the 2009 draft, and will have three second round picks in next year's draft. There is more chance now that the Patriots make a play for Peppers, since the Panthers may want to receive a first round pick for 2010, and the Pats could possibly sweeten the deal with one of their second rounders, or some other combination. The Patriots also freed up cap space by moving Ellis Hobbs.
A: We've been trying to talk ourselves into Peppers for two months now, Hamilton. Maybe it's time to let it go. The money doesn't work.
Hey Mike,
Time to take off the rose colored glasses. I love Vrabel also, but the party has been over for over a year. His few sacks and scant pressure made a suspect secondary worse. They needed Bruschi, Rodney and Vrabel all to go to the glue farm. They did him a favor trading him. Do you think anyone would have paid $3.5-4 million this year as a free agent? Asante was not worth 9-10% of the salary cap. He is not a shutdown corner. He lays back seven yards and gives up plenty of completions (I think as many as Hobbs last year). His tackling sucks and he doesn't blitz very often. His No. 1 skill is under cutting routes and making a few picks, hardly worth $10 million a year. He has played five years and how many picks, 25 maybe? Wheatley will be just as good.
A: On Vrabel, you really think the Patriots "did him a favor?" Really? Do I think "anyone would have paid $3.5-4 million this year as a free agent?" Yes. I do. Eric Mangini would have in Cleveland. Rex Ryan would have with the Jets. The Bills might have as well. The Pats traded Vrabel (as opposed to releasing him) because they didn't want him in the division. Take that to the bank and get your head out of your rear, Pugs. You think the Pats are in the habit of doing favors for their players, especially those they deem expendable? That's not the team I've observed the last decade.
Want to know the scary thing, Pugs? As sucky as that point was, it was actually the best one of your e-mail. It just got worse from there. Do you realize that in Samuel's last eight playoff games he has six interceptions and four picks returned for touchdowns? Samuel became a fulltime starter in 2005, and over the next four seasons he recorded 23 interceptions, nearly six a year. Since the 1999 season, only one Patriot not named Samuel or Ty Law recorded six interceptions in a season (Tyrone Poole had six in 2003). The team leader last year, Brandon Meriweather, had four. Hobbs had three. You may not like what top cornerbacks get paid, Pugs, but Asante is definitely one of those guys. Sorry.
So the Pats trade with GB for their picks, one of which is the #83 pick, that they got from the Jets for Brett Favre. Then the Pats take the injured Brandon Tate with his suspect knee and hippie lettuce issues. Will this turn out to be the CURSE OF FAVRE for the Pats? Run with the rant...
A: Do I have to? I'll be the first guy to blame Favre for just about anything, but that's a little much.
Hi Michael
I have agreed with your assessment of Ben Watson. Given that he is supposedly a ``physical specimen with blazing speed,'' do you think he has the skills and attributes to change into an outside linebacker or defensive end? He may be more productive on defense (where the Pats need more help) than offense. It's time for you to start the campaign.
A: Again, do I have to? This suggestion may have worked when Watson was 12. Not his sixth year in the NFL.
Is there any chance the pats would do some 4-3 with Wilfork and Br ace to get more push up the middle? They used to switch in games early in the BB era. Move Manning out of pocket more?
A: I had heard from some players last year that they would go much more to a 4-3 look in 2008, and it never really happened. So I doubt it.
Appreciate your work. Your critical analysis may not always be on target, but it is thought provoking. You may have been off on Randy Moss. However, after observing him the last two seasons -- not that much. Unless the ball is delivered in the ``bread basket,'' he makes minimal effort to go get it. We always heard about his basketball playing ability. Are you kidding me? Watch Welker & Gaffney put their lives on the line to make EVERY catch.
Ben Watson is a bust. He reminds me of another physical specimen like no other: MLB Vincent Brown. His physique didn't translate on the field. Unless Ben is wide open on the back line of the end zone, he's suspect. If Belichick is such a great football man, what's the infatuation with Watson?
A: I would venture to guess that Belichick lost his "infatuation" with Watson right around the time Ben had that pathetic fumble against the Jets last season. Watson is up for a contract after this season. Let's see how hard the Pats try to keep him. My guess is not very. As for Moss, he went after balls much harder when he was playing with Brady and for a contract in 2007 than he did for Cassel in 2008.
C'mon, Felger,
``When Kevin plays is his decision,'' said Ainge. ``But I think Kevin plays once the playoffs start. Ultimately, it's just his decision. Could Kevin play right now? Absolutely. But the question is whether it is in his best interests. I don't think there's anyone out there who feels he can't play.''
You claim that is Ainge questioning Garnett's heart? Surely you can drum up more interesting controversies than this. Rather than publicly blasting a guy who appears to be nothing if not competitive, wouldn't it make a lot more sense that Ainge was just sort of downplaying the injury?
He essentially said this: ``Kevin will let us know when he's 100 percent. There is no need to risk further injury. He should be fine for the playoffs. He's not so hurt that he couldn't play if he had to, but we'll wait for him to be 100 percent.''
That was just boring old GM-speak. Don't try to spice it up. If you want to question whether Ainge and the Celtics knew more internally than they were letting on, that's a different story.
Tim D
A: First of all, I don't need to spice up Ainge's words. When he said, "when Kevin plays is his decision," that pretty much says it all. And I don't know how much stronger you can be than, "I don't think there's anyone out there who feels he can't play." Those words speak for themselves.
Ainge has pretty much been saying the same thing the entire way. He's said it's up to Garnett. There is no structural damage. There is no risk of further injury. Again, those are his quotes, not mine. Go check them out. Doc has certainly sung a different tune, and his comments have been widely reported as well. The fact is that there have been conflicting statements from the team throughout -- and I haven't really drawn any conclusions, regardless of what you and others believe. I've said from start that I have no idea what's going on.
But when a general manager says on the record and for all to hear that his injured star can play if he wants to, that deserves to be in the conversation. If you can't handle it, if you can't handle having your star player being put in a questionable light, then put your hands over your ears and go back to the kids' table.
By the way, there has certainly been some toughness in this series. Ben Gordon has been getting shot up to stay in games. Leon Powe put his career and future earnings on the line for his team. Brian Scalabrine has come back from a head injury. Brad Miller gutted it out and somehow managed to attempt a free throw after a vicious blow to the head that nearly put him in a coma … oh, wait. That was just a cut lip. Never mind. The wheelchair can go back in the hallway.
What's up Felger,
I'm a lifelong Celts fan but after watching all these close games in this Bulls series, I am finding it difficult to watch the end a game. Here's how the final two minutes of a close game go: Player drives to the hoop with the mindset of trying to get fouled rather then actually, you know, score. So they run into someone and fall down assuming a whistle is going to blow. Spoiler alert: it usually does. They shoot their free throws and the other team calls a timeout. Then its just lather, rinse and repeat until the game is over. All the NBA has become is a free throw shooting contest with way too many timeouts, a bunch of bad actors, and a lot of whistle happy refs. It's unbearable, I can't take it.
Modus, CT
A: You're just discovering this?
Forget five things we learned this week, here are three things I just made up:
1. Hogan Knows Best about Ben Gordon's biceps workout. It looks like a typical pre-game routine for him is 100 free throws, 100 three pointers, 1 protein shake and 500 preacher curls. Word is he is trying to increase the real estate on his 36'' pythons brother! Either a couple of the companies on Stephon's head are going public and looking for additional ad space, or Ben is making room for a bad ass tattoo of Jesus playing 2-guard at UConn with Calhoun in the background walking on water.
2. Mikki Moore has one foul by the time he finishes his Cocoa Puffs, and picks up another at the shoot-around. Learning the rotations, getting comfortable with the system and changing his play haven't been enough, so Doc is instituting a new plan. It's time for a disguise. Mikki should get a haircut, wear Garnett's jersey, and start (bleeping) dropping mother (bleeping) F-bombs all over the court. Hopefully NBA officials will forget it's him. ANYTHING'S POSSIBLE!!! If not, is a fake mustachio is out of the question?
3. Boston has finally found its replacement for Lucky @ halftime. Starting in round 2, the C's will showcase halftime wheelchair races featuring Rajon Rondo, Paul Pierce, and a lucky fan who will qualify to win $77,000 from a casino, but will actually win an expired $25 gift certificate to the 99 Restaurant, and a green stuff T-shirt. Paul and Rajon are both great athletes and likely have more wheelchair experience than the average fan, so they both have a taped leg up on any competitor.
PS. Wooly Willy, I know you have a bunch of new bells and whistles and a fancy new Verizon sponsorship, but, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW!!....good! Your site keeps crashing, freezing and creating errors. Enough with WEEI Vista. Get competent IT professionals to fix this and let the interns go back to picking up coffee, getting berated by Pete or doing Holley's laundry.
Jake Scott
A: I thought Dickerson was the replacement for Lucky.
Screw the draft of thugs, drunks and 'roiders -- and bodyguards shooting at paparazzi. You said you would write a column on the B's run ``after they win a series''.....Well, get to it! And don't forget to put a disclaimer in your article that you're hockey statements over the past week pretty much discredit any hockey insight you provide going forward.
Ooooh, Felgy is scared of the Canadians. Felgy doesn't think Timmy Thomas is up to the challenge of playing Stanley Cup-caliber goal. As Bluto Blutarsky said, ``Well just kiss my ass from now on.''
Instead of your ``where's my mommy'' angle (being too scared and lacking confidence), follow my lead on this one. I told you this team was different (they are throwbacks to the '88-'92 teams). They hit coming in with elbows high, they beat the (expletive) out of clubs in the corners, they force teams to shoot from outside the dots and above the circles and they have three lines of offensive and physical firepower. They have all the parts to win.
Don't play the role of the antagonizing counterpoint. Step up, and write ``the article.'' Have the balls to say, ``This is the team. This is their chance.''
A: Disclaimer: My hockey statements over the past week pretty much discredit any hockey insight you provide going forward.
This is the team. This is their chance.
Until they get to Detroit.
Mr. Baseball,
I was looking forward to your new Baseball show until I heard the details: Felger, Merloni, McAdam, Buckley. Throw in the added noise from the callers, producer boys, and assorted drops, and there will be scant few seconds of less than three people talking at once. Why does WEEI do this to us? Give me any two of the above talent and it's interesting and funny radio. But four of you (five, including the caller) clawing each other for air space? Too many cooks.
If you want ratings run this idea up the flagpole: Felger and Sarandis. Name a topic, sit back, and enjoy the train wreck. BC talk? Wow. How about PILFs, or some good ass talk. Ted: ``Michael, I don't-understand-what is going on-in your brain.'' Felger: ``Ted, don't tell me you haven't looked at Gene DeFillipo's ass.'' The uncomfortable silence alone would be radio GOLD. Just don't put this on morning or afternoon drive, as I will never be able to leave my car.
A: So you're saying Sarandis wouldn't give us his list of NFL coaches he'd do?
Felger You DB!
You know Mike, I think I would have tempered my excitement for the Brad Penny signing if I had known that he was doing his offseason conditioning at the Cheesecake Factory. Lord knows he has no problems locating the plate there. And no, Brad, throwing 90 pitches in three innings does not count as cardio.
And while I am on the subject of the Red Sox, let me just ask a quick question. When did Ralph Lauren become part owner of the team? I mean seriously, Earth Day uniforms? I think it's pretty sad when the Savannah Sand Gnats have less gimmicky promotions than one of the most storied franchises in major league baseball. We have home white uniforms, grey throwback road uniforms, red alternate uniforms and blue alternate uniforms. And let's not forget those new awful ``sox'' hats.
But I'm looking forward to the Baseball Show on Saturday. If you add a telegraph to the simulcast you will really corner Buckley's target audience. Ratings Bonanza! PS, Perk is a BEAST!!!
A: I've got to be honest, I think the Sox new road grey uniforms (the regular ones) are such an upgrade that I'm almost willing to forgive everything else they did. I hated when they went from the old, grey, block "Boston" on the front and no names on the back to the red lettering with names. This is a good medium, although I still think they should take the names off.
I'm sick of seeing and hearing you wherever I turn -- TV, radio at home, radio in the car, etc. My fiancée loves you more than he loves me.
Meaghan K. Fortier
A: Try telling him you'd rather have Clay Buchholz (still in AAA) over Albert Pujols (major league-best 25 RBI; on pace for 193). Apparently he's into that. Maybe he'll show you more love.
Subj: You
Michael Felger,
Wow. Why do you even write for a Boston paper? You seem to be the biggest hater. You hate the Pats more than half the morons that post crap on the message boards at other sports websites. How is it that you still have a job in this town? You are a joke. Why don't you go work in NY or someplace that you would like the local pro teams? I can not wait for the day that you get fired.
Mr. Brett Smith
A: Here's your chance, Rob. Want to put us both out of our misery?
Scratch that. I need to be here so you can at least have one columnist who doesn't write in increments of five.
Oh, by the way. For those of you chronics who participated in our "Franz" trivia game last week, thanks for playing. We have our winner. Tommy Rider says hi.

Do you know what part you need?
Have you ever done a repair like this before?
Thank you for helping make our site better.
PartSelect Number PS272900
This part works with the following brands: GE, Hotpoint & Kenmore.
This part fixes the following symptoms:
I replaced the coupling by only having to remove one bolt with a socket wrench. Once replaced I installed the new assy over the coupling making sure ro align the splines then pushing down until the assy snapped into place. Easy.
Help other customers find the most helpful instructions.
Were these instructions helpful?
I installed the coupler and tightened the bolt with an adjustable wrench. Then I aligned the agitator and snapped it onto the coupler. Then I snapped the fabric softener dispenser onto the agitator. All of this took less than 3 minutes and that includes putting the wrench back into the tool box. I pulled the agitator off of the coupler and out of the machine. I moved the coupler in circles by hand to check to see if it was working properly. It wasn't. I got an adjustable wrench and removerd the bolt that held the coupler on. I pulled the coupler out of the wash basin and examined it. I saw that it was stripped out and I new I had to get a new one. I first called my local sears store to see if I could get the parts. First I spent about 20 minutes tied up in their phone system and then when I finally got to speak to an actual person they didn't have a clue. Then somehow I got transferred to the Sears 1-800- phone number and spent about 20 minutes talking with a parts person. Meanwhile I checked out partsselect.com while I was speaking with the Sears rep. It turns out that Sears wanted about $25 more for the parts than parts select and I was only placing a $50 order. When I brought this to the attention of the sales rep. they replied that they were shipping only GE repair parts. Big Deal. The parts that I got from parts select were the exact parts that I took out of the washer. Ordering online was very easy and convenient and I wasn't overcharged for shipping. The repair took less than 3 minutes and everything works like new. Thank you parts select.
The cap just removed by tapping a few times with a screw driver and hammer. then pulling upward it came off and I placed the new dispenser on. a couple minutes saved me from running up and down to add softener and it was very inexpensive.Thanks alot PARTS SELECT.
Removed the bolt holding the agitator coupler on, replaced it and the bolt then slid the agitator on the coupler and the fabric softener dispenser on top of that.... so easy!!
Opened lid and place on agitator ... finished

Product has good features
I really like the pendent - it seems to be quite well made and is a lovely addition to my jewelry collection. However, I was just a bit disappointed in the size of the bail. I wanted it to fit over some of my omegas, and it is just a bit too small.
Tootsie, Chester Va

This product does not make a "bold" statement.
This product does not make a "bold" statement. It's detailing is accurate and as requested. The product is too "thin". I was half-way pleased so I decided to keep it.
Pat, Houston, TX
January 16, 2013
This is much smaller and the gold is very dull. Since its a monogram I cannot return it. Not worth the money at all! And it doesn't come with a chain either. I'm sorry Ross Simon I would not recommend this product to other consumers.

RSMail! Features
Scheduled email sending sessions
RSMail! offers the tools to scale down the maintenance time that is required for your Joomla! site. You can create email campaigns in advance and schedule them to be sent at a specified date. This is also useful when your hosting provider imposes a limit on the number of emails per hour - you can set RSMail! to deliver the content in predefined batches over a specified period of time.
Supports DKIM
DKIM is an email validation system designed to detect email spoofing by providing a mechanism to allow receiving mail exchangers to check that incoming mail from a domain is authorized by that domain's administrators. Overall this implies increased deliverability.
Email campaign reports and link tracking
It's all about efficiency. It is very important to know how your newsletter did. How many people actually opened the email, bounce rate or how many unsubscribe actions were performed. Having a clear picture of previous campaigns can help you make improvements and increase the conversion rate. RSMail! even allows you to see who clicked on what link from your email via the link tracking options.
Create email message from Joomla! and third party content
Creating a newsletter does not need to be a labor intensive process. Already have a Joomla! article or K2 item that you wish to transform it into a newsletter ? This can be done with just a few clicks.
Flexible CSV importer
The CSV file is rather common format for exporting data. RSMail! will detect your CSV format and will allow you to specify what information goes where, and what to ignore. No special, mindtwisting configuration required.
Custom newsletter sign-up forms via RSform!Pro integration
Though RSMail! comes with a built-in and easy to use newsletter subscribing form, sometimes this is simply not enough. If you own a RSform!Pro license you can benefit from the RSform!Pro flexibility and register your submitters to specific mailing lists.
Integration with the default Joomla! user registration
With RSMail!, you can present the option to subscribe to a newsletter right on the Joomla! standard user registration form. A Joomla! System plugin will place an acceptance checkbox and send out a confirmation email if required.
Plugins and Modules
Create your own custom newsletter subscription forms for RSMail!
Why have your visitors submit a lot of forms to accomplish various tasks ? Using the RSform!Pro - RSMail! plugin you can have the normal submission process and silently pass data to RSMail! to be used on your newsletters.
Standard subscription form
By default, RSMail! incorporates a standard newsletter subscription form that can be placed in a module position, using the RSMail Newsletter module. This module can be used to subscribe to multiple newsletter lists and will automatically display its columns as simple text fields.

WASHINGTON — Sen. Jim DeMint, the conservative Republican from South Carolina who helped ignite the Tea Party movement, will leave the Senate to become president of The Heritage Foundation, a conservative research group.
DeMint — who has fashioned himself into a bit of a kingmaker for conservative Republicans, often at the expense of his own Republican colleagues — now finds himself with a comfortable and well-paying perch that will provide a platform to continue his efforts to push the Republican Party to the right.
"I'm leaving the Senate now, but I'm not leaving the fight," DeMint said in a prepared statement Thursday. "I've decided to join The Heritage Foundation at a time when the conservative movement needs strong leadership in the battle of ideas."
DeMint will depart the Senate in January. He replaces Edwin J. Feulner, 71, who will continue part time as chairman of the foundation's Asian Studies Center.

2 Outdoor Afros in Muir Woods.
Muir Woods was just lovely yesterday. Even though Kelly and I got there late and completely missed the group we hiked an enchanting forest trail at an easy pace. Taking the Ben Jensen trail to the Dipsea trail , stopping to rest, nourish, gaze and soak in the wonder of these ancient woods along the way. At several points we worried about taking a wrong turn and having to do more uphill climbing than we needed to but directions from various other hikers got us to a beautiful vista in a meadow overlooking the Pacific Ocean. More gazing and nourishment as we sat and just leisurely enjoyed the feel of the warm sun on our faces. Making our way back took us half the time of course and we had the extremely good fortune to spot a Barred Owl sitting in a tree. ( Kelly is very observant).
We were so sorry to have missed the group but would not have missed this beautiful forest for anything.

- sleep disorders;
- primary open-angle glaucoma;
- prevalence
Purpose: Elevated intraocular pressure and systemic hemodynamic changes are main risk factors in primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) characterized by snoring, excessive daytime sleepiness and insomnia is accompanied by large swings in blood pressure and repetitive hypoxic periods during sleep. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether there is any relationship between SDB and POAG.
Methods: Consecutively, 212 outpatients with POAG and 218 outpatients without POAG were recruited. Both eyes were examined. An interviewer-administered semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect SDB-related symptoms.
Results: After controlling for age, relative to control group, POAG patients showed a high prevalence of snoring (47.6%, p=0.04), snoring plus, excessive daytime sleepiness (27.3%, p=0.01) and snoring plus, excessive daytime sleepiness, plus insomnia (14.6%, p=0.01).
Conclusion: We found a high prevalence of SDB in patients with POAG. Chronic hemodynamic changes and recurrent severe hypoxia resulting from SDB may contribute to anoxic optic nerve damage, implicated in glaucoma.

- Fly Instead of taking a Train or A Bus
There's always a fine line between being prepared and bringing too much stuff. It's important to make sure you bring everything you need but there's also nothing worse than having to get your bags checked or running out of room with all the new souvenirs you've gathered at the end of your trip. Try and keep things contained to one carry-on bag if possible and leave yourself as much space as you can. The more room available in your bags, the more room that can be used for items you might pick up while shopping in the city.
- Pack Light
You can never tell what the weather is going to do in New York so definitely make sure you pack accordingly. It can get downright balmy during the summer but once the sun goes down and the wind starts to whip between the buildings you'll definitely be glad you brought a jacket to cover up. According to British Airways the summers in the city hit average highs of a toasty 28 degrees Celsius (that's 82.4 Fahrenheit) but it can get much hotter during the day before cooling down drastically in the evening. A light jacket and the ability to adjust throughout the day is key to keeping comfortable.
- Bring a Jacket
Also, be sure to bring a pair of flats or otherwise comfortable shoes in addition to the stylish ones you really want to wear. There's nothing like being ready to catch the subway uptown until you realize they're doing renovations and the train is out, and you have to walk five blocks because you don't want to pay for a cab - and you only have uncomfortable shoes! Trust me, your feet will thank you for packing backups.
- Bring Some Spare Shoes
You brought a paper map of the subway system to New York? That's adorable. If you're done being judged by every single person on the street, put that map back in your oversized European carry-all and download an app that will provide all the same information for you quicker, easier and much less embarrassingly. Huffington Post recommends the terrific Kickmap app for a very accessible understanding of the overly complicated subway system and HopStop is great for figuring our and budgeting cab rides for the evening.

Importance of making relationships conscious
This is the first of a two-part series on conscious relationships. Next week will be "How to make our relationship conscious."
Relationships are funny things. They torment us. They make us say and do things we would never do to our dog. They can make us feel sullen on a sunny day, and they can often energize our fantasies in ways we can't talk about in polite society. Yet everyone I know wants one.
There is research that indicates not everyone should remain in the relationship they have. Couples can -- with great effort -- overcome all kind of marital horrors. Yet couples who become mired in an intractable conflict roundelay are not looking good for going the distance. When there is contempt, their chances are bleakest of all.
Why is it that one marriage can encounter the tragedy of losing a child and survive, and then another, where the husband habitually jokes about his wife's weight problem in public, is destined for the marital trash heap? The answer can be boiled down to this basic law of relationship: Intimacy is the realization that you have a profound effect on the other and treating that knowledge with respect.
Like I said, these matters are complex. Stress happens, and when it enters the marital system, two things can happen. The full diaper can hit the fan and both parties scamper to their corners, stick their thumb in their respective mouths, plaintively wailing, "What about me?!" Or, like the adults they pledged to be when they committed to each other, they come together and work to clean up the tender "baby bottom" of their relationship and dispose of the mess together.
I am reminded of a poetic image that my colleague Lisa O'Connell once shared with me. Before her marriage she had a dream that beside her marital bed were three bowls; one large one in the middle full of water, two smaller bowls, also filled with water, on each side. In the dream, she and her husband would awake and begin their day by dipping their fingers into their respective side bowls, and as the drops of water fell from their fingers into the larger bowl, they would share one thing that they were grateful for about the other.
This dream has become a totem for their relationship. She and her husband, Scott, came to understand the dream this way:
"We always have to give of ourselves to the relationship; the drops of water from the small individual sources of water to the larger one signifies this. The dream also meant to us just how important it is to daily express gratefulness. There is something greater than each of us, which is the relationship, the love we share, the family we create, and we must do the best we can to feed this."
Lisa pointed out that water is often an archetypal symbol for consciousness, adding, "We deeply value consciousness and the water in the dream reiterates for us how we have to bring our own consciousness to the relationship and how the relationship has a consciousness. This gives us permission to look at ourselves to challenge each other to look at the relationship honestly."
So how does a couple effectuate this "conscious relationship?" Next week I will look at the three essential ingredients of such a relationship as well as some suggestions on how to put it into practice.
