If you had to pick one Penn State football team as the best in the history of the program, which one would it be? The 1982 squad (11-1) was a national champion, and so was the 1986 team (12-0) that beat Miami in the Fiesta Bowl.
But what about the 1968 and 1969 teams that each finished 11-0 and earned Orange Bowl wins? Don't forget John Cappelletti's 1973 team (12-0) or the 1994 offensive juggernaut that rolled to 12-0? And honestly, how good was that 1978 team (11-1) that dropped the Sugar Bowl classic to Alabama?
Yep, they are all good teams, worthy of consideration as Penn State's best.
But none of them are as good as the team I've just assembled -- Penn State's all-time NFL draft team.
With the 2013 NFL draft set to begin Thursday night, I did a little digging (or a lot of digging) to come up with my own version of Penn State perfection. Here's hoping I didn't overlook anyone.
Let the arguments begin as I unveil my ...
Contenders: Milt Plum (Cleveland, 1957, 2nd round), Todd Blackledge (Kansas City, 1983, 1st round), Kerry Collins (Carolina, 1995, 1st round).
Analysis: Blackledge was one of the leaders of the Lions' 1982 title team and part of the QB draft class that included John Elway, Jim Kelly and Dan Marino (and also … Ken O'Brien!) but T.B. wasn't much of an NFL quarterback. By the way, Blackledge's teammate, Curt Warner, went No. 3 overall to Seattle, after Elway went No. 1 and Eric Dickerson was picked No. 2. How's that for a 1-2-3? Collins, who operated the 1994 offense, threw for more than 40,000 yards during a lengthy career and made two Pro Bowls.
The pick: I considered Plum, who had two good years with the Browns in 1960 and 1961. But it's tough to pass on the pride of Wilson High School. Kerry Collins.
Contenders: Lenny Moore (Baltimore, 1956, 1st round), Franco Harris (Pittsburgh, 1972, 1st round), Lydell Mitchell (Baltimore, 1972, 2nd round), John Cappelletti (Los Angeles Rams, 1974, 1st round), Booker Moore (Buffalo, 1981, 1st round), Curt Warner (Seattle, 1983, 1st round), D.J. Dozier (Minnesota, 1987, 1st round), Blair Thomas (New York Jets, 1990, 1st round), Ki-Jana Carter (Cincinnati, 1995, 1st round), Curtis Enis (Chicago, 1998, 1st round), Larry Johnson (Kansas City, 2003, 1st round).
Analysis: Wow. The field includes a Heisman Trophy winner (Cappelletti) but the program's all-time leading rusher (Evan Royster) isn't even in the discussion. Looking at all these names, my first thought is that I wish I could have seen Ki-Jana Carter play in the NFL on two good knees. Notice that Franco and Lydell were first and second-round picks in 1972? How good was Joe Paterno's 1971 team (11-1) that mauled Texas in the Cotton Bowl? Did you know Lenny Moore, an NFL Hall of Famer, totaled more than 12,449 yards and 113 touchdowns in the NFL?
The picks: I've got two sets of picks. I'm going with Lenny Moore and Curt Warner as the best overall backs. And if I have to pick one tailback and one fullback, I'm picking Lenny Moore and Matt Suhey (Chicago, 1980, second round).
Contenders: Jimmy Cefalo (Miami, 1978, 3rd round), Kenny Jackson (Philadelphia, 1984, 1st round), O.J. McDuffie (Miami, 1993, 1st round), Bobby Engram (Chicago, 1996, 2nd round), Joe Jurevicius (New York Giants, 1998, 2nd round), Bryant Johnson (Arizona, 2003, 1st round), Derrick Williams (Detroit, 2009, 3rd round).
Analysis: Solid players, all of them, as professionals but no game-breakers. Jackson was a two-time All-American at Penn State and Williams was part of the 2005 revival. Engram, a great college player, lasted in the NFL until 2009.
The picks: Pretty even group. I'm picking O.J. McDuffie and his all-around skills, and the super-productive Bobby Engram.
Contenders: Ted Kwalick (San Francisco, 1969, 1st round), Mickey Shuler (New York Jets, 1978, 3rd round), Kyle Brady (New York Jets, 1995, 1st round), Troy Drayton (Los Angeles Rams, 1993, 2nd round).
Analysis: The emphasis is on quality and not quantity here. Kwalick was a key player on some very good San Francisco 49ers teams in the early 1970s and Shuler was a dominant player with the New York Jets.
The picks: I'm taking two and it's a tough call at the second spot. Make it Mickey Shuler and Ted Kwalick.
Contenders: Keith Dorney (Detroit, 1979, 1st round), Mike Munchak (Houston, 1982, 1st round), Sean Farrell (Tampa Bay, 1982, 1st round), Steve Wisniewski (Dallas, 1989, 2nd round), Jeff Hartings (Detroit, 1996, 1st round), Levi Brown (Arizona, 2007, 1st round).
Analysis: I could have mentioned some other names on the contender list but look at these guys. Serious blue-chippers.
The picks: My five wide bodies are Keith Dorney, Mike Munchak, Sean Farrell, Steve Wisniewski and Jeff Hartings. Yeah, I'm a little guard-heavy. One of these guys is going to have play center and another is going to have to slide out to play tackle.

Perhaps the pitcher most worth checking out today is Andy Pettitte. By having him face hitters, we'll get a better idea how close he is to being ready compared to the other pitchers.
Correction: Mariano Rivera will throw in the bullpen instead of to hitters. It's what he always does, and it shows that manager Joe Girardi is willing to let someone like Rivera -- an established veteran whose accustomed routine has proven to be successful -- have his own program, to an extent.
Mariano Rivera should also be on today's list -- no fun for his hitter teammates.

IMC's Piano-a-thon is set to be grand
Dave Bristow, Island Music Center's Executive Director, has the look of a man holding a tiger by the tail.
IMC's Piano-a-thon, which launches tonight, started out as an evening fundraiser, then expanded to include a few afternoon recitals. The calls from pianists kept coming in. Everybody wanted to be part of what has become possibly the most ambitious musical event Bainbridge Island has ever seen. They decided to add a day, and then another.
"It's become a real event," Bristow said with a hint of surprise.
There's a waiting list now, but at some point, you have to draw the line. And that line is at 18 hours.
The Piano-a-thon idea was born when an opportunity arose to purchase a beautiful 1982 Yamaha C3 grand piano from a community member. Board member Bill Branley offered to front the down payment to facilitate the purchase, but the nonprofit music center would have to come up with the $13,500 it would cost to have the instrument delivered and serviced.
Besides the $10 suggested donation to hear Piano-a-thon acts this weekend, IMC is offering a "Key Contributor" opportunity. Sponsors pay $153 for one for the piano's 88 keys.
Those keys will get a workout this weekend as more than a hundred musicians take the stage in a variety of ensembles playing everything from jazz to classic to contemporary. They all have one thing in common – the new piano as the centerpiece.
Several Bainbridge music teachers, such as Darden Burns, Claire Marshall and Akiko Iguchi, have enlisted their students to step into the spotlight for the occasion. The teachers, themselves, will get into the act as well. Bristow is expecting a box to arrive filled with CDs of Iguchi's November performance. The place is abuzz with excitement.
The Salmon Canyon Cafe is geared up for what will surely be its busiest weekend yet since it opened in its new location in the center.
The "radical hospitality" is part of Bristow's vision for the center to be a creative hang out for all ages, but in particular for youths with an interest in music, whether they're taking formal lessons or not.
Bristow is picturing a casual ambiance where concert-goers can wander from the concert hall to mingle in the center's lobby/social area, or grab a bite at the Salmon Canyon Cafe.
"It's a bright spot," Bristow said. "It's important for the whole center."
A bright spot indeed with its canary yellow walls and eclectic mood.
Kate Sloat, wrapping up after the lunch shift, said the cafe is "a fun place to work."
The Cafe is open for breakfast and lunch and includes standard soup, salad and sandwich fare as well as daily specials such as the Salmon Chowder on the chalkboard last Tuesday. Still, it's the music that will draw them in this weekend. Every hour, on the hour a new act will take the stage for a 45-minute set.
Bristow, whose personal grand has now been moved upstairs for classes, will perform with a jazz trio in its debut performance. He'll also play a set of original music by (and with) Peter Spencer.
Ranger Sciacca, Anne Pell, Neil Conaty and Korum Bischoff, will offer their brand of gypsy jazz violin and piano ensemble with special guests. Sharon Acton will combine her strong vocals with Jim Quitslund on piano.
Branley will get his turn on the piano he helped bring to the center.
It's lining up to be a grand event.

Where I stayed
RD Guesthouse
It has been a long time since we have posted anything on our blog other then to say we are sorry and pictures are on the way. Well, now the computer is fixed !! And we are ready to upload some of the things we saw and did in Vietnam and Vietienne, Laos. A little backwards but oh well!!! Right now we are sitting on the beach most of the days at Nature Beach resort on Koh Chang. It is beautiful here !!! But more about that later.
First of all, Laos. More of a continuation of what we have already written, a little more about Vientiene since we covered it very breifly. We had the best Salad Nicoise that I have ever had, and a bottle of wine, funny thing about wine, it is really expensive even compared to back home. 12 dollars for the cheapest bottle of wine, if the prices were to be reflected equally a bottle should only cost 3-4 dollars, but alas, I suppose we are not in wine country
Since Vang Vieng we have hooked up with 3 others that we met in Chiang Mai. Lucy, Jorge and Gothello. So the five us us took the long bus ride into Vientiane. When we got there we only wanted to stay long enough for those 3 to get their visas for Vietnam and book our airline tickets. So with pretty much 1 day to see the sights off we went! We saw the famous "Pha That Luang" (Golden Pagoda), a temple called Wat Si Saket, Laos' very own Arc de Triomphe and got some good pictures. Not to mention some pretty sore sunburns!! Ouch!
The Golden Pagoda is really quite a sight, and 100 years ago, I would imagine it would have been even greater of a religious symbol. We say this because it has been completely destroyed no less than twice in recent history. It supposidly has the breastbone of Buddha at its base. Today it is beautiful, but not the original. It had the one main golden phallus and surrounding it had 4 prayer halls. We could walk around freely and climb up the first few levels. There is a surrounding high walled cloister with small windows that contains original statues and artifacts dating back to 1566. Here is an excerpt from the Lonely Planet book about it,
"Each level of Pha That Luang has differnet architectural futures in which buddhist docterine is encoded; visiters are supposed to contemplate the meaning of these features as they walk around
Arched gates again lead to the next level, a 30m by 30m square. The tall central stupa made of brick and stucco is supported here by a bowl shaped base reminiscent of India's first Buddhist Stupa at Sanchi. The curvilinear, 4 sided spire resembles an elongated lotus bud and is said to symbolise the growth of a lotus from a seed in a muddy lake bottom to a bloom over the lakes surface, a metaphor for human advancement from ignorance to enlightenment in Buddhism."
The Patuxia (Laos Arc de Triomphe) is a great sight, and was built in 1969 with cement donated from the US that was meant for the contruction of an airport. Oppps, I guess they had different ideas :) Just like the Arc De Triomphe it is set in the middle of quite a big round-about!! We thought we were pretty cool for crossing the street without problems!! We got a great picture of 3 Buddhist monks sitting next to a pond and fountain, too bad they weren't facing the other direction so we could get the Patuxia in the background !! The whole structure is quite massive especially standing under it, although not as big as it's french relative in Paris!!
We also took some pictures as we walked to the sights. Trying to capture images of everyday life, but we are not professionals :)
After a long day of walking around Vientiane, we bought our tickets to Hanoi, they were 130 each, not bad! Now we're off to Vietnam on Laos Airlines!

Botched Oklahoma Execution Highlights Barbarity of Capital Punishment4/30/14
In the days and weeks leading up to last night's horrifying execution of Clayton Lockett in Oklahoma, there was much debate about the validity of the call for transparency in execution procedures. Some contended that allowing Oklahoma to rely on a new and experimental drug protocol, which relied on drugs whose source the State refused to disclose, in a dosage that had never before been used on a human being, reeked of human experimentation and ran the very real risk of torture. Others concluded that as long as an unquestionably guilty murderer was put to death, these last

On the last night of our two-week East Coast vacation to visit family, we checked into a hotel near the Newark airport to make the last day of travel a bit easier for our two little girls.
Our hotel room had all sorts of creature comforts: a king-size bed, a pull-out bed for our toddler, a dazzling view of Hudson River and the Manhattan skyline.
Here's what it didn't have: a safe crib.
We ordered a crib for our 5-month-old as soon as we checked in. About an hour later, they wheeled up a white metal crib that didn't pass the safe-bedding test. Instead of a fitted sheet, the mattress was wrapped in a loose bedsheet. (Not only that, it had a bumper. Another no-no.)
Luckily, I had tucked a crib sheet into my bag before we left Portland. I knew we might spend a night or two in a hotel. (We checked into a hotel two years ago with my then 6-month-old and were given a crib with loose bedding so I wanted to be prepared.)
According to one study, children under age 2 spend more than 7 million nights per year in hotels, motels and resorts - and many of their parents rely on cribs provided by these facilities.
Way back in 2000, the National SAFE KIDS Campaign did a survey of 90 hotels and motels across the country and found that 82 percent of the cribs they checked had at least one safety hazard: loose hardware or lack of secured mattress supports that could entrap a baby; soft bedding, including quilts, comforters or pillows that could cause suffocation; and adult-sized sheets that pose a strangulation and suffocation hazard.
Several hotel chains (including the one where my family spent the night this week) responded by buying safer cribs and insisting they'd pay closer attention to kids' safety. (The hotel chain where we stayed actually made the claim they were setting a new industry standard by replacing their cribs with safer ones but apparently someone forgot to mention that loose bedding can be fatal to sleeping infants.)
So what's a vacationing parent to do?
First, call ahead and see what's available for cribs. How old are the hotel's cribs? What bedding is available? Check out the crib once it's been set up in your room. Is the space between the bars big enough for your child to squeeze her head through? This site has a handy checklist for safe cribs. And keep this checklist of safe crib bedding in mind, too. Ask for a fitted crib sheet.
And consider bringing your own pack-and-play.
On a related note, if you're traveling to gramma's house, you might want to keep this list handy for quick childproofing tips. (This way you can avoid the awkward moments I endured after my toddler dropped and broke my mother-in-law's glass candle holder.)
What about you? Have you ventured out overnight with baby? Got any tips to share?

Here's what's on tap for this week's Outdoors pages in The Post-Standard
Main piece: Local ice fishing season starts on some small lakes in CNY as anglers continue to bite at the bit, waiting for some of the bigger bodies of water (Oneida, Skaneateles, Owasco, ect) to freeze over.
Column: With the on-again, off-again snow patterns, what's the local cross country ski/snowshoe scene like?
Main Piece: We interview one of the resident falconers who uses falcons to keep the seagull numbers down at the Seneca Meadows Landfill. Believe it or not, there's two full-time falconers on staff with 10 birds at their disposal.
Column: Highlights of Thursday evening's annual presidents dinner for the Onondaga Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs, plus a few other items.
I'm also working on:
- An update on state-owned land in Chenango County that's overrun with deer and the steps that were taken this fall to limit the herd size -- and whether or not efforts were successful
- Plastics. How it's the rage for some on the ice fishing scene.
- DEC/Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge staff band black ducks
- Interested in taking an African hunting safari.. recommended does and don'ts for those who have.
- Snowmobile trail law enforcement status.. (budget cuts have evidently taken a toll in some areas)
- Fishing for Steelhead on Salmon River from a drift boat in the middle of winter.
- Local guy who's on the front lines of the exotic carp wars in the mid-west (trying to prevent them from getting into the Great Lakes)

KALAMAZOO -- It's a tough reaction considering who's playing after them, but Greensky Bluegrass mandolinist Paul Hoffman hopes those who sit in on their opening set at this weekend's Rothbury Music Festival will ask:
"Wow, what was that?"
Kalamazoo's Greensky Bluegrass is one of the first bands to jam at the festival, which is estimated to attract around 40,000 people to the small town north of Muskegon, when they take The Ranch Arena stage at 7:15 tonight.
They're followed by Dweezil Zappa, aka Zappa Plays Zappa (See Page 9 for an interview with him), who will perform his famous father's brand of complex, experimental rock.
Strangely, it's not one of Hoffman's more lofty hopes for the four-day fest -- the biggest, in terms of commercial appeal, for the local quintet of Hoffman, guitarist Dave Bruzza, bassist Mike Devol, lap steel/dobro player Anders Beck and banjo player Mike Bont.
Both Bruzza and Hoffman said they want to see a number of musicians perform, but from a mingling standpoint, lanky rapper Snoop Dogg tops the list.
"I want to try to get a picture of him playing the mandolin," Hoffman said.
Before any of that can happen, Hoffman will have to man the mandolin at the band's 75-minute set, which will include a few songs from GSBG's new album, "Five Interstates," due out July 25 at the Hoxeyville Music Festival.
Much like 2006's "Tuesday Letter," it was recorded at the cabin of local luthier and musician Jake Robinson in Hoxeyville, about 20 miles west of Cadillac, with Kalamazoo engineers John Campos and Ian Gorman. Railroad Earth's Tim Carbone produced it, and his fingerprints are prominent. About the only change is the band's newest addition, Anders Beck on lap steel/dobro.
Two of the tracks highlighted by Bruzza and Hoffman during separate interviews illustrate a slightly new direction for the GSBG on "Five Interstates." Overall the album's theme is of life on the road, although it was an intentional thread, they said. It's also darker than the bouncier "Tuesday Letter" with plenty of social commentary and "a lot of heartache," Bruzza said.
Bruzza's "200 Miles from Montana," which is up on the band's MySpace page, is a song about breaking up with his girlfriend.
Hoffman's "Nine Days," which features the string trio of Carbone, Campos and Devol, dubbed The Two-Hearted String Trio, triggered an emotional response from Hoffman during recording. The song is about his friend who "was in a rough experience, in over his head with life and wondering if he was happy." It's about measuring up and putting pressure on yourself, Hoffman said. That message, paired with the strings, hit Hoffman hard, and still does, he said.
"The more I sing the song, the more I get familiar with the song, the less it's about the person I wrote about, but it's my reaction to the experience. It's more about my feelings," Hoffman said.
GSBG thinks that emotional investment will translate to a wide audience.
"This record is going to receive more attention on a national level," Bruzza said. "I think this will be a big eye-opener for a lot of people."
Of course, getting Snoop to strum a mandolin might, too.

BATON ROUGE - Congressional Democrats and Republicans are playing politics with the nation's farmers by tying up a renewal of the farm aid bill, state Agriculture-Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain said Monday. "It is being held hostage and both sides are at fault" for not working out a compromise in an election year, Strain, a Republican, told the Press Club of Baton Rouge.
He said the bill would total about $200 billion in subsidies and other financing for food programs, such as food stamps, or roughly about $40 billion a year for the five-year appropriation.
"This is one-eighth of 1 percent of the (federal) budget," Strain said.
Strain said that the Senate version of the bill cuts three times as much from Southern farmers as it does from farmers in the Midwest. "It was very, very unfair to us," said Strain, who lobbies for Louisiana and regional farm interests.
The House version, he said, makes overall cuts of $35 billion, but does not have as severe an impact on Southern farmers.
The only relief farmers have gotten, he said is about $30 million to help crop and livestock producers cope with some of the worst drought conditions in 50 years, he said.
"Nothing has passed," Strain said. "At the end of September, the farm bill will expire."
He said he expects Congress to renew the major terms of the farm bill on a month-by-month basis until after the Nov. 6 congressional elections.
"We need a compromise," Strain said. "It would be as difficult now to pass a one-year extension as it would be to pass a new bill. . . .I don't think you will see a new farm bill pass until we see the lame duck session (of Congress) after Nov. 6 elections, and possibly not until December.
"This thing is caught up in politics on both sides," he said.
Strain said that because of the drought that has plagued three-fourths of the nation this year, key crops have been hit and as a result consumers can expect to a jump in major commodities such as bread, eggs and milk.
"We are going to see food inflation costs of two times or three times the (national) inflation rate in the next six to nine months" as the drought's impact ripples through food processing and manufacturing, Strain said.
Eleven parishes in north Louisiana have been declared drought disaster areas.
Strain said his office continues to monitor low-river levels at the Port of Lake Providence in East Carroll Parish which has prevented the movement of soybean and corn to the Port of Greater Baton Rouge.
"The Port of Tallulah is completely dry," he said. "Ships at the Port of Lake Charles are barely getting through the channel."
He said that emergency dredging is under way at the Port of Lake Providence to get a string of barges moving southward to Baton Rouge. He estimated that as much as $350 million to $500 million in Louisiana crops are stymied by the low water.
"Hopefully, in the next 10 days we will have the Port of Lake Providence open again" with no loss to the soybean and corn now tied up, Strain said.

MAY 2009: Many producers develop signature sounds that have caused them to become nearly as famous as the artists that they work with. Rob Cavallo, in contrast, has become a famous producer by helping artists sound like themselves instead of branding each project with his sonic imprint. As a result he's become one of the most in-demand producers of the last two decades, working with a diverse group of artists, including Green Day, Eric Clapton, the Goo Goo Dolls, the Dave Matthews Band, Kid Rock, and Alanis Morissette. Currently on his plate are projects with Paramore and Meatloaf – two artists representing very different spectrums of rock's vast sonic rainbow.
A multi-instrumentalist, Cavallo has a well-developed ear for the elements that go into a recording. But despite having considerable talents as a player, he's never aspired to sit anyplace but the producer's chair. "I've always loved making great music and going in the studio," says Cavallo. "I always wanted to know how to make a song sound great and to make songs that could change the world. That's what I live for. I'm not comfortable being a performer – that's not in my DNA. But I was built to talk with great artists about their songs and why they are great. I was built to foster music and make it grow."
Rob shared many of the secrets behind his success and how those secrets translate to success for the artists he produces with Guitar Center. While Cavallo may not offer aspiring engineers and producers any "by the numbers" approaches for making recordings (he rarely uses the same approach twice himself), his advice will certainly help you make better sounding recordings that capture the spirit of any project you're working on.
Guitar Center: Tell me how you ended up in the producer's seat.
Rob Cavallo: I got a stack of Beatles records when I was 11. I had to know how they were making those sounds, and it made me so insane. I learned how to play their entire catalog on every instrument the way they did. I learned how to play the guitar, bass, drums, piano, and everything. I became a student of musical production and sonics. Then I did the same thing with the Rolling Stones, the Who, Led Zeppelin, and every hit from the last 50 years. When I was 14 I joined a cover band, and I actually wrote down the settings for each guitar amp so they would sound right. We would play the song and then turn around and look at a grid that I had made. Whenever we wanted to play a song, the grid told us how to set the amps to get the right tones. I was insane but the other guys in the band were happy about it because we sounded so much like the records.
GC: When did you start recording?
RC: Shortly after that. I got a Teac A3340S four-track reel-to-reel tape recorder, and I would play everything and remake songs. I would take a song by someone like the Beatles or Prince and cut it in a different style. I ended up doing a lot of punk rock versions, even though I really didn't know what punk was at that point. My instinct was to go hard and fast and play the guitars and drums faster than they were on the records. My vocals were a lot screechier too, so I ended up with a punk rock version of the song.
GC: The records you produced sounded great from the very beginning, especially Green Day's Dookie, which was only the second album you produced.
RC: I think it's because I was a student of sound and tone. The studio is a big tool. If the band was making a certain kind of sound I could use the studio to present that sound to their satisfaction. I try to make a band sound like themselves. The studio can either help or hurt that process. I've always tried to make the studio help the band sound like who they are.
GC: You work in a lot of different studios. What items of gear do you consider essential?
RC: I have my own Pro Tools rig, which is essentially the biggest, baddest Pro Tools rig you can have. Every card slot is filled, and it has every imaginable plug-in. I spare no expense when it comes to keeping my Pro Tools setup up to date. The computer is as fast and as powerful as possible.
GC: Do you do all of your mixing in the box or do you still rely on outboard gear?
RC: We do a lot in the box, but we do a lot outside the box too. I'm not sure what the percentage is. It's probably 60 percent in the box and 40 percent outboard.
GC: What are some of your favorite plug-ins and outboard processors?
RC: The right mic pre is my favorite outboard device as well as the right EQ to go with it. I like my Neve, Pultec, and API mic preamps – all the standard stuff. We have old RCA compressors, and I really like the Universal Audio BL-40 modulimiter. I like my Chandler gear, and I'm really a big fan of all of the Eventide processors. The right microphone is important, too. I like a lot of Shure microphones, the Neumanns and AKGs. I still have my classic blue rackmount MXR flanger, and I still love my old Electro-Harmonix Memory Man delay. It's fantastic. I really like the best of the old and the new. As far as my plug-ins go, I can't even remember. I just go in there and search for stuff. It's all great. Everything is great if it's appropriate for the song I'm working on.
GC: You're an A&R veteran who has listened to demos by a lot of new acts. What advice do you offer to aspiring artists?
RC: The first thing is to really believe in yourself. Second, I would recommend that you really practice whatever it is that you're trying to do. Make sure your show and songs are great. Throw yourself into it one thousand percent. That's the only way you will have a chance. If you can put three to ten songs together for a demo tape or play a gig in your local community and present your sound to the world, it will get noticed if it's good.
GC: What starting setup do you recommend for an aspiring artist who wants to make great sounding demos?
RC: You need to find the rig that speaks to you and that you think you can use. Being able to get around easily and create things is all that matters. Use whatever you like and feel comfortable with.
GC: You always seem to get great performances out of vocalists. How do you do it?
RC: The real trick is to have the right vibe in the studio. I like to have a lot of fun when I make records. When everybody is having a good time it creates a positive vibe. There's excitement about what is going to happen next. When it's time to lay down the vocals, I want the singer to feel that I'm there to support him or her. When I'm excited about what they're doing, they're going to do their best. I always stay involved in the now – not the future or the past, but how the singer is feeling right now. We'll talk about the lyrics and why the song is important and why he wrote that song so when he sings it he knows why he's singing it. He's connected to what the song means to him. When you get that connection there's a purity that enables the song to really communicate effectively. Often the really great vocals happen in the early takes because that is when the singer is feeling the most strongly connected. After ten takes they're starting to think about other things, like getting lunch, dinner or drinks.
GC: Do you have any standard setups for recording vocals?
RC: We almost always use the classics. We use an old mic preamp and an old mic, like an AKG C12, Telefunken 251, or whatever else we have. Sometimes we'll use a Shure SM7 if the singer prefers to hold the mic. Most of the time it's a large diaphragm condenser mic in a traditional vocal booth setting. With today's EQ technology if the singer is comfortable looking at the mic and it sounds like you are hearing him or her accurately through your speakers it's going to work. The only thing you have to look out for is using the wrong mic with the wrong singer. You don't want to use a really dark sounding mic on a singer whose voice doesn't have much highs or presence.
GC: You've recorded several great guitarists like Eric Clapton and Lindsey Buckingham as well as players with unique rhythm styles like Dave Matthews and Billie Joe Armstrong. How do you vary your approach between different players?
RC: I always listen to who I'm recording and determine what their strengths are. Then I use the studio and its technology to really complement the artist's style. I like to align myself with what the guitar player is doing. I don't change it. Eric Clapton wanted to play an acoustic guitar solo on one song that was a mostly acoustic R&B track, so I put a stereo close mic on him. Then I placed another mic about four or five feet away from him and cranked up the compression on it, adding it in to the close mic sound to give the recording a sense of size. The combination of the close mic and the room mic gives listeners the perspective of sitting in a living room watching Eric Clapton play and blowing your mind. Also sonically it's nice to have a little bit of natural delay and a little bit of room sound that is compressed so it makes things last a little longer and accentuates the nuances.
GC: Dave Matthews has a very dynamic guitar playing style that is very rhythmic and percussive. How did you record him?
RC: I approach everything on a song-by-song basis. He has many different types of guitars that he plays, like a 12-string Veillette Griffon that has a direct output on it that I would blend with the mic sometimes. Other times I'd use different large or small room sounds and different mics on the room. Sometimes I'd run the DI through an amplifier and mic that. There are so many things you can do, but ultimately it comes down to why you are doing it. My goal is to support the song and the singer. If I were to fall into any "formula" it would be to do whatever is right for the artist. I don't want to have a signature sound. I want my sound to be the sound of the band. I think if you look over my history you can say that the records I made with Green Day do not sound like what I've done with Kid Rock, who does not sound like Goo Goo Dolls who does not sound like My Chemical Romance. The records I've made with the Dave Matthews Band, Eric Clapton, Alanis Morissette, and Avril Lavigne all sound different.

During April~7--11, 1998, the EUVE satellite performed observations of Venus (not long after western elongation on March~27). About 20~ks of data were obtained in about 50 400~s pointings (one per orbit), performed while the spacecraft was in Earth's shadow. Large slews were required before and after each pointing to ensure that EUVE's look direction was >90\circ from the Sun when the satellite was in direct sunlight. These data comprise the first extreme ultraviolet spectrum of Venus in the 7--76~nm range (although a short Galileo EUVS spectrum at 55--125~nm was recorded during the February 1990 flyby, two excellent spectra were obtained by the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope in the 82--184~nm range, and rocket observations covering the 82.5--111~nm range have been acquired). The EUVE spectra indicate a brightness of 145±5~R for the HeI 58.4~nm emission, and 40±~R for a combination of the HeI 53.7~nm and OII 53.9~nm emissions. For comparison, the Galileo EUVS measured a HeI 58.4~nm brightness of 200--280~R. We will present detailed simulations of these and other Venus EUV dayglow emissions. We are grateful to the EUVE project for their heroic efforts to plan and make these observations, which put the satellite at considerable risk.

The crime itself is horrible. A mother in Oregon is standing trial this week accused of beating her 4-year-old son until his intestines ripped in two places.
The motive, prosecutors allege, could be even worse — they say she did it because she thought her son was gay.
From our sister website, OregonLive.com, comes the story of 25-year-old Jessica Dutro's murder trial, which got underway last week.
She is accused to subjecting three of her children to traumatic beatings at the Washington County homeless shelter where they lived.
But her four-year-old, Zachary Dutro-Boggess, bore the brunt of the abuse and is dead now because of it, according to prosecutors.
According to OregonLive.com, doctors said as a result of a blow to his abdomen, the contents of Zachary's intestines leaked out of his bowels for at least two days before he was rushed to a Portland hospital. The child was taken off life support on Aug. 16, 2012.
Dutro has been charged with murder, murder by abuse, and second-degree assault.
But the key evidence in the case could be a Facebook message by the mom herself.
In the message, Dutro reportedly told her 24-year-old boyfriend Brian Canady that Zachary had made her mad. The boy was "facing the wall" as punishment. Using a slur, Dutro wrote that her son was going to be gay.
"He walks and talks like it. Ugh," the mom wrote.
She then asked her boyfriend to "work on" Zachary.
The boyfriend pleaded guilty earlier this month to first-degree manslaughter and second-degree assault in the boy's death.
Prosecutor Megan Johnson argued the message established Dutro's motive for inflicting on Zachary a pattern of torture and abuse.

Dark-matter map points to galaxy formation
Jan 8, 2007 1 comment
The Universe is permeated by filaments of invisible dark matter that intersect at galaxies and other major structures. This is the conclusion of astronomers from the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS), who have created the first large-scale map of the distribution of dark matter. The apparent overlap of dark matter filaments with galaxies and other massive structures adds further weight to the theory that the Universe owes its structure to the gravitational pull of dark matter (Nature doi:10.1038/nature05497).
Dark matter is fundamentally different from normal "luminous" matter that makes up stars, planets and humans. It is invisible to modern telescopes, giving off no light or heat, and it seems to interact with normal matter only through gravity. Although dark matter has never been observed directly, most cosmologists believe dark matter plays a crucial role in how large structures such as galaxies emerged after the Big Bang.
The COSMOS team used the Hubble Space Telescope and several terrestrial instruments to chart the position of elusive dark matter in three dimensions. This was done by observing how light from distant galaxies is bent by the gravitational pull of dark matter in a process called gravitational lensing.
The map also reveals that regions of space containing large quantities of luminous matter almost always also contain large quantities of dark matter, which is exactly what physicists would expect to see if the gravitational collapse of dark matter was responsible for the structure in the Universe. "It's reassuring how well our map confirms the standard theories for structure formation", said lead researcher Richard Massey of the California Institute of Technology.
However, the survey also reveals areas with large quantities of dark matter with no corresponding luminous matter. In principle, this is also feasible because physicists believe that there is much more dark matter in the Universe than luminous matter.
While astronomers have already used gravitational lensing to map smaller regions surrounding individual galaxies, this is the first "wide-sky" survey that covers a region of the sky about the eight times the size of a full moon. The survey is also the first to look at dark matter in three dimensions – the third dimension being the distance (or time) travelled by the light after interacting with the dark matter. The distance was determined by combining observations made by Hubble and earthbound telescopes. This new ability to chart the evolution of dark matter through both space and time could also shed light on another elusive quantity – dark energy, which is believed to be accelerating the expansion of the Universe.

a small homage to the much-hated wild blackberries of Oregon
I peaked out my side window this morning and what did I see?
A wall of blackberries coming from my neighbor's yard. Every year, I hear complaints from people (but not this neighbor, obviously) about the invasion of the blackberries and how they can take over every square inch of your yard if you don't take care of them.
However, I must confess that I am a fan of the blackberry. It makes a wonderful jam/jelly, delicious tarts - and they are quite yummy by the handful (although quite messy).
Our house butts up against the Trolley Trail in Milwaukie and it's wonderful hearing people wander by the back fence eating the berries that are hanging from the stalks. Or families with young children picking berries for desserts (while eating a few for good measure). An added bonus? The plants keep people from climbing over our fence and into our backyard.
Yes, we do clip the invasive branches that tend to get tangled in our small home garden. We snip the arms of the neighbor's plants as they grab our shorts as we walk by. But for the most part, we leave the bushes alone and enjoy their beautiful flowers and - a few months later - their delicious sweet fruit.
So, I encourage you, if you have the space, leave a few plants to do their thing. You won't regret the sweet reward that comes around August. But make sure kiddos and pets (as well as yourself) are safe from the branches. But if you can't, I'm assured that there are many plants left to nature throughout the Portland metropolitan area. Maybe you can sample a few berries from there.

Effectively Treating Soft Tissue Injuries
If it's just a strain, why does it hurt so much?
If it's just a "strain", how come it hurts so much? Why is it taking so long to heal? How can it heal faster? Can you make it heal more completely? If it's a more serious or chronic problem, and you've already tried medication, physical therapy, splints, exercise, chiropractic and maybe even surgery, and it still hurts, is there any way to get rid of the persistent pain?
You would think that care of musculoskeletal injury would be fairly straighforward, but even medical experts disagree on the diagnosis and management of such common conditions as back pain, tennis elbow, shoulder pain, whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome, knee pain, TMJ, heel pain, etc. A sprained ankle might be treated by rest and crutches by one physician and by early weight bearing and mobilization by another. Some would prescribe an anti-inflammatory or cortisone, but some sports medicine experts recommend avoiding suppression of inflammation just after injury, because inflammation promotes healing. So how does the average person know what to do when injuries, aches and pains don't respond to self-care or treatment by doctors, chiropractors and other therapists?
Understanding the Causes of Pain
The majority of us incur some bodily damage on a regular basis. We bend and twist our backs when we should be flexing our legs and pivoting on our feet in the performance of life's daily tasks. Wealthy young girls were once sent to "finishing schools" to learn proper posture and graceful movement; but most of us have never truly been instructed on the importance or science of basic biomechanics. "Physical Education" in our schools mostly involves learning to play sports.
Then we have occupations and recreational activities that cause us to sit all day, perhaps in a bad chair or car seat, or repetitively perform a motion that strains certain muscles and joints, or require an unnatural posture for prolonged periods of time. A government program to reduce workers risks of job related pain syndromes was killed by congress in 2001 because of unaffordable costs to employers.
There are also all the minor and major stresses and injuries that result from: falls, stopping short in a car at 55 mph, or on the baseball field, shoveling snow, moving furniture, or performing such simple tasks as trying to open a jar that one actually doesn't have the "unassisted" strength to open. Cumulative wear and tear on our anatomical support structures causes painful degenerative changes at a slower pace than injuries, but does ultimately cause osteoarthritis.
A general disregard for our physical vulnerability is suggested by national cultural worship of those who engage in the most physically punishing sports from football, ice skating, auto-racing, hockey, and rodeo to the relatively fast-rising, low-budget "extreme" sports of flipping bikes, skates, snowboards and such.
Unfortunately, some people who never engage in high-risk physical activities are genetically predisposed to premature degeneration of their spine and joints or nerves. Others may have diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes, which often cause painful inflammation and/or degeneration of joints and peripheral nerves. Pain of the musculoskeletal or nervous system may also develop because of such diseases as cancer, shingles or herpes, and various other infections, toxic exposures, metabolic conditions, etc.
Pain Itself Can Cause Inflammation
Healthy humans have a biological pain control system. Pain provokes chemical changes at sites of trauma or potential injury that stimulate a cascade of chemical changes through nerves, the spinal cord, and brain. A neural reflex arc is completed when the brain sends chemical messages back to the local tissue, which induce repair. The brain also releases natural painkillers, such as endorphins, which block the individual's perception of pain.
So if you just whacked your elbow on the edge of the table, it might make you stop other activities for a few seconds. You might howl a bit and rub the painful area. You might even hop around and speak unprintable words. But barring serious injury, you might also forget about the incident twenty minutes later. Perhaps it's still tender to lean on, but if your pain control system is in tact, the initial pain resolves quickly.
Unfortunately it doesn't always work that way. The pain control system may become dysfunctional in various ways. Sometimes a painful stimulus is so prolonged and or intense that it overpowers the neuro-chemical response. Sometimes the neuro-chemical response is inhibited because of physical trauma to its anatomical parts; sometimes chemical dysfunction disables an individual's ability to turn off the pain.
Pain often persists or spreads because of compensatory postural changes the individual makes to relieve his/her pain. The classic example is the individual with sciatic pain of the left leg, who instinctively learns to reduce symptoms by tilting his torso to the right. After doing this for a few weeks his right knee, hip and/or foot may start bothering him as they have born increased weight. The muscles on the left side of his back are being stretched while those on the right develop a tightened, shortened state that compresses local nerves and blood supply, and causes increased pain in the back. As his torso leans right, visual reflexes tilt the head back to the left to maintain a sense of being upright and balanced, causing further asymmetric muscle tension in the neck and probably eventually on the shoulder region as well.
The more pain this individual develops, the more stressed his pain control system becomes. In numerous cases he become reliant on pain medication that further suppress his biological output of natural endorphins, while his biomechanical complications are left untreated and at risk of worsening.
The individual described above can become so distressed and disabled by pain that he will often resort to a surgical procedure aimed at taking pressure off the sciatic nerve, usually the removal of disc material that has ruptured onto the nerve. Hopefully his pain will be resolved by the surgery. But for the unfortunate patient whose pain persists, it becomes critical to assess and treat for biomechanical dysfunctions that caused or resulted from the disk herniation.
In other words, that little strain you had of your thumb or foot or neck may be persistently painful because of the tendency for muscles to spasm around joints whose support structures (such as capsules, ligaments, tendons, menisci, disks) have been stretched, torn and weakened. The muscles spasm reflexively to protect the unstable joint from excessive motion and further stretching. But the muscle spasm itself is all too often painful and results in further unhealthy changes in other places.
So What Is The Most Effective Way to Treat Pain?
There is no single answer to this question, but the best response is that the least risky, most successful, best-tolerated methods should be used. The most effective treatment is also one that is aimed at realistic goals. To date, there is no way to stop the aging process or cure rheumatoid arthritis or peripheral neuropathy. But there are many painful conditions that can be corrected or mitigated.
Principles of Treatment
History of injuries and physical activities, past treatments, pain patterns, disability and associated problems is carefully reviewed. Patients are physically examined with special attention to musculoskeletal function. Physicians and therapists observe posture, gait and activities such as bending, reaching, turning, tying shoes, etc. Assessment of range of motion, joint stiffness or laxity, muscle asymmetry, spasm and/or shortening, and neurologic evaluation are conducted.
Physicians may also obtain and review labs, x-rays, CT scans, MRIs, operative reports and other studies pertinent to understanding the cause and course of the patient's problem. Treatments frequently employed are directed at correcting biomechanical dysfunction and may include nerve blocks, trigger point injections, manual medicine, physical therapy, prolotherapy, acupuncture, and pharmacologic interventions.
Research shows that nerve blocks (anesthetic injections) can immediately stop the intense pain of acute injury, and with repetition, can break the pain cycle of more chronic conditions. Nerve blocks can sometimes pinpoint the cause of a pain problem more accurately than can x-rays and MRIs. Anesthetics also have been demonstrated to reduce inflammation and irritability of irritated or damaged nerves. Another benefit of nerve blocks is their ability to make other procedures such as trigger point injections relatively painless.
"Trigger points" are areas in muscles where spasmed fibers develop into a taut band or tender knot that causes local pain, shortening of the muscle with loss of flexibility, and tension and pain in other areas of the muscle. One of the most effective ways of eliminating trigger points is to inject anesthetic into the "knot" and peck at the spasmed fibers with a small sterile needle. This procedure called "needling and infiltration" or "trigger point injections" can mechanically separate and relax the spasmed fibers, which releases tension in the rest of the muscle. When numb from anesthetic, the patient can also tolerate deep massage or other manual and physical therapies that can relax and re-educate muscles that have become dysfunctional.
Manual Therapies may include:
- Post-isometric Relaxation Exercises
- Joint mobilization
- Manipulations
Physical Therapies may include:
- Electrical Muscle Stimulation
- Thermal Applications
- Hydrotherapy
- Massage
- Physical Exercise
Prolotherapy is the technique of strengthening lax ligaments, joint capsules and similar connective tissues by injecting solutions that stimulate the production of new collagen.
Acupuncture is rapidly gaining research support as a safe, effective technique for reducing pain and improving range of motion for patients with both acute and chronic musculoskeletal problems. In a 1997 consensus statement by the United States National Institutes of Health, a list of fourteen specific conditions recognized as being effectively treatable by acupuncture included, headaches, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, tennis elbow, carpal tunnel syndrome and drug addiction.
Ergonomic factors may require intervention, but be prepared to maybe have to purchase the right chair for your workstation, if your employer won't do it for you. Many patients will also benefit from pharmacologic treatment; nutritional recommendations and some may require co-management by an internist, rheumatologist, counselor or other medical specialist.
Treatment approaches are individualized to meet specific patient needs. Patients and clinicians evaluate treatment results at all follow-up visits.
Successful treatment is expected to result in:
- Improved blood flow and nutrition to compromised tissues
- Reduced edema where swelling occurs
- Relaxation of spasmed, shortened muscles
- Reduction of pain
- Prevention of disuse muscle atrophy
- Re-education of damaged muscles and joints
- Restoration of lost or impaired function
- Prevention and reduction of secondary complications
For chronic problems, at least three treatment sessions may be required before benefits can be appreciated. Complex conditions or pain of many years duration tends to require more extensive treatment than recently developed problems. Some painful conditions resolve after just a visit or two.
If you've been told you'll just have to learn to live with your pain, but you haven't been treated with these techniques, you may be unnecessarily doomed to long term suffering and deterioration. Or you could be on your way to recovery with a program designed by a physician who has specialized training in the management of difficult pain problems.

Gone (or not)
Update: Joe Klein clarifies. McChrystal hasn't officially resigned, but has "offered to resign."
P.S. In response to an emailed question, the reason I decided he had to go was simple. I think someone leading the fight in Afghanistan who badmouths the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan and the Special Representative to Afghanistan in print doesn't have the judgment necessary to do work that requires political deftness.
Also, I personally felt the article's description of McChrystal's team (which could be misleading) suggested a poor command climate. Everybody in the military bitches about the higher-ups, but, if McChrystal's team really "pride themselves on...disdain for authority," then he's created one unprofessional little personality cult there.

Sydney: Shane Watson captained Australia in the fourth and final Test against India recently, but his poor showing does not guarantee him neither his batting spot nor his role as Michael Clarke's deputy for the Ashes, Aussie chairman of selectors John Inverarity hinted on Tuesday.
Speaking for the first time after Australia's humiliating 4-0 whitewash in the Test series against India Inverarity said although the team still needed Watson because of his talent and experience, his showing with the bat - averaging 16.5 in India and 24.11 in the past two years - was very frustrating.
"Things will always be discussed. Every aspect of the team will be discussed, players and leadership roles, that is absolutely normal and it will be done so again," Inverarity replied when asked whether Watson's role as team's vice-captain will be reconsidered before the Ashes.
"I won't go into details there but it was all carefully considered. There were a couple of other options and that was the preferred option. He was tour vice-captain and he was the one who had captaincy experience at international level, and from all quarters that was the preferred option."
He further said that the selectors are concerned about Watson's form with the bat. "We're concerned about his performances. In those ODI matches back in Australia his form looked to be outstanding, and in the first couple of Test matches when I was there he was playing well until the ball of his dismissal. But his performances, we need him, he is one of those senior players, and talented players and experienced players, and we need him performing."
Inverarity also hinted that the performance of every player, including Watson, will be discussed soon. "We'll have discussions later this week and through April, and every player will be discussed."

Rory McIlroy admitted it would be "nearly impossible" to win the Masters after scraping into the final two rounds at Augusta National.
McIlroy did not realise he had to par the last to make the cut on the mark of four over par, but held his nerve from four feet to complete a disappointing - and admittedly unfortunate - 77.
"It was very frustrating. I just really couldn't get anything to go my way," McIlroy said. "I had a couple of really bad breaks on four and 13.
"I got a really massive wind switch on four [his tee shot flew the green and almost hit Adam Scott on the fifth tee] and then hitting the sprinkler on 13 to go up into the azaleas.
"I felt like I played well coming in. I gave myself looks at birdie almost every hole. I couldn't get one to drop.
"I didn't know that putt on the last was to make the cut, but when I got into the scoring area and saw that I was in (joint) 46th place, it was a bit of a sigh of relief that I'm here for the weekend.
"I just want to go out there and try to get off to a fast start. Eleven shots back (of leader Bubba Watson) with two rounds to play is going to be nearly impossible to make up so I'm trying to shoot two really low rounds and see where that puts me at the end of the week.
"It will take something phenomenal to shoot something in the mid-60s and get myself back under par going into the last day. But I'm going to need to be two, three or four under par going into the last day to have any sort of chance."
Defending champion Adam Scott also looked to be drifting out of contention when he dropped three shots in his first five holes, but the Australian birdied the 12th, 13th and 15th to shoot 72 and finish just four behind 2012 champion Watson.
"I was a little frail but patience came into it on the back nine and I just tried to remember all the good shots I hit yesterday," Scott said.
"It's good to be within shouting distance but tomorrow is a big day for everyone. I would like to close the gap to feel in with a chance on Sunday."

A new Sachs/Mason-Dixon poll raises the specter that the NFL could lose hundreds of millions of dollars as more than one of every four NFL fans say they will sit out the season if it is negatively impacted by the stalled and prolonged NFL lockout.
Do you agree with that? Hasn't it been proven that people eventually come back once the season resumes?
The poll shows that 27 percent of NFL fans would choose to stay home rather than attend an NFL game and do something else rather than watch their favorite teams on television if the lockout shortens or negatively affects the NFL season - breaking a fundamental trust with a core base of fans if the two sides fail to reach agreement.
"Fans are the lifeblood of the National Football League and without them, there are no large profits for owners and television networks and no multi-million dollar salaries for players," said Ron Sachs, President of Ron Sachs Communications. "The greatest danger of the lockout is tarnishing the sterling brand of the NFL to its core fan base – and that kind of incalculable damage could take years to repair."
Sachs said the poll results "clearly indicate the owners and players should consider the risks of inaction: significantly less revenue, fewer fans in stadiums and living rooms and a tragic loss of trust among a huge slice of the NFL's market."
According to the NFL Fan Cost index – a key economic indicator of the economic impact of NFL fans – the NFL average in 2010 was $76.47 per fan. Based on the polls' findings, the NFL risks losing hundreds of millions if the NFL lockout shortens or delays the start of the 2011 season. The NFL is the largest domestic sports league in the world, generating $7.8 billion in revenue in 2010.
Among the polls' key findings:
* Among the self-described NFL fans surveyed, 27 percent – including 24 percent of men and 32 percent of women – said they do not plan to watch or attend an NFL game next season if a lockout were to occur.
* 13 percent of NFL fans surveyed are not sure what they will do if the lockout occurs.
The Sachs/Mason-Dixon Poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 5.4 percent.

MILLBURN — A Millburn rabbi seeking to build a 16,000-square-foot synagogue among Short Hills' opulent mansions testified before the zoning board Monday night that his endeavor is a modest one and that it would not create the bottleneck of either attendees or traffic that neighbors fear.
But attorneys for residents allied against the project contend that the relatively small religious services led by Rabbi Mendel Bogomilsky in the last few years could grow significantly given the proposed synagogue's 140-person capacity.
At Monday's hearing, over Bogomilsky's initial objections, the attorneys sought the number of people on a mailing list compiled by the rabbi. Bogomilsky, though, said that the mailing list, which he said does not differentiate among people who have attended services or simply made inquiries, would exaggerate the number of potential attendees.
"Many of our greatest supporters never come to pray with us," Bogomilsky said.
Bogomilsky and his wife, Rivkah, want to build the synagogue on 1.8 acres on neighboring lots on Jefferson Avenue. According to the township's zoning regulations, however, a house of worship in an otherwise residential zone can't be built on less than 3 acres. The Bogomilskys, who have run the Chai Center for Living Judaism on Millburn Avenue since 1992, are also seeking exceptions to height limit, parking and buffer requirements.
The rabbi was the only person to testify Monday night but did so for three-and-a-half hours. The zoning board will take up the issue at least twice more.
The hearing, attended by about 80 people at the Hartshorn Elementary School auditorium, at times had the air of a lesson in Jewish ritual and custom. Bogomilsky answered questions about ritual baths, holidays, religious education and, since at least some of the congregation would be walking to and from services on Saturdays, the lack of sidewalks leading to Jefferson Avenue.
Bogomilsky said he would be willing to discuss conditions and accommodate neighborhood concerns if opposition to the synagogue were withdrawn.
In answer to a question from zoning board member Roger Manshel, Bogomilsky said he did not think the congregation would grow. The more likely scenario would be for the congregation to splinter.
"Jewish politics," he said, dictate that "everyone wants their little group."
At its next meeting on July 26, the zoning board will take testimony from traffic and engineering experts on Bogomilsky's application.

More Resel
This, right here, is why I don't understand how single parents manage. If it were just me, who would be the kids' wrestling partner? I am no good at wrestling with the children. Any time I try I end up just hugging them and tickling them, which is not what they want at all. Or, they try to wrestle me, and I just snap, "Get off me!" and go to another room. But Dave loves it. Thank goodness. Usually when he gets home they are waiting at the door for him, ready to pounce.
This is a list of things that Henry was planning to do with Dave (and Eli) when Dave got home from work. In case you can't figure it out, resel=wrestle. And "Blue Men" is a game that evolved from The Great Quillow that involves Henry and Eli yelling "Blue Men!" and jumping on Dave, who is acting as the giant. Dave then yells a lot and eventually falls down, screaming, "You got me!" Making Dave into butter has something to do with covering him in blankets and kneading him (the only one of these that I might personally be able to tolerate).
3 responses to "More Resel"
I just wanted to comment: yes to all of this. It is true that my boy (maybe many boys, maybe most boys) seems to desire physical force, wrestling, in a way that I don't. When his dad comes home that's what they do, that's how they play, and man is he happy. and when I submit and say I'll wrestle a little, (we do it on the bed, and there's a firm ending if mommy says so, which she often does anytime the play gets near her head, which it alawys does) he's ECSTATIC. with a wildness in his eyes. it's a little scary.
"Make Dave into Butter" is the best. And also, I don't wrestle, either. When Joe goes out of town, Alessandro starts to get a little crazy from lack of reseling.
Totally: when Dave's out of town the kids start to act like they're covered in hives or something. And Emily, I'm the same way: I resel for a few minutes and then get all huffy because it gets too rough. Dave does it with them until someone is crying. My limit is way before that.
I do have to say that I am really honestly surprised that neither Dave nor I has gotten a broken nose from all this yet. There have been some incredibly close calls.

Goldman Adds Franklin Resources to 'Recommended List'
Analyst Richard Strauss says the upgrade was due to improving fundamentals
Goldman Sachs upgraded Franklin Resources (BEN ) to recommended list from market outperformer.
Analyst Richard Strauss says the upgrade was due to improving fundamentals. He sees the company's prospects getting significantly brighter, bolstered by an ongoing rebound in its investment performance, and a return to value-style investing. He says the company's strong returns have continued into May. He notes should a market rebound occur, he thinks the company will benefit disproportionately from subsequent acceleration in industry-wide equity fund flows. Strauss sees $1.90 fiscal 2002 (Sept.) earnings per share and $2.20 in fiscal 2003.

Moviematics.com asks the age old Twihard question Robert Pattinson Or Edward Cullen? Comment below with your pick:
"There is a little bit of mystification in the air between the Twilight star Robin Pattinson and Edward Cullen. Twilight fans will surely feel distressed by my opinion. Robert Pattinson did feature earlier in a much bigger project of Harry Potter playing a pivotal character of Cedric Diggory in the movie "Goblet of Fire". But, did that film provide him proper platform to international stardom?
Yes, it is. Quite a big change has been seen in his previous and current's appearance and why should not he be like this. You would also give me the same opinion that it is Edward Cullen that has provided him ultimate success and unexpected days of his life.
No doubt that Robert has got the charm and has got what it takes to grab the attention of fans all across the globe, because of his entirely structured face cut and the sex appeal the man has got. Don't you think this is the ideal yet charming face whom girls believe and have faith on? The vampire parted between his platonic love for Bella Swan and his obsession for human blood has induced the majority of females to spill over him.
They visualize this neck-sinker while going through the pages of Twilight novels. Robert Pattinson's personality has been emerged into Edward Cullen which every woman wants to see when he is on the reel or over the roads. I don't think, there would be any person who could do the same character and got the same ultimate success, when compared to with Robert Pattinson. Still question mark is there about which character is most popular and hottest. Edward or Robert…..?"
