at this point I'd like to say it's either the Coach or lack of PG...but it's probably Jim Dolan. He's responsible for pushing the melo trade through, despite donny walsh...we probably would have gotten him anyway(i love melo) or landed PG D.Williams who would have been a better fit for D'Antoni and Stat.
He also is responsible for letting this team start the year without a legitimate PG. I like the chandler aquisition, but we miss Billups big time. Banking on us getting B. Davis in the first place and then his health. Dolan sucks.
Not to mention, the lock out was bad enough, then he negotiates unfairly with Time warner...greed and stupidity...I am a step away from being a Brooklyn nets fan as I suspect so many are when they have a better team then the Knicks next year.
I would never have thought I'd say it, but if they somehow get Dwight howard and the knicks have the same crappy chemistry, coach and @55hole owner ... I'll be a Brooklyn fan next year. As a life long knick fan and NJ hater, It kills me to think about, but I can't take the results of DOLAN anymore.
Let's...Go...Lottery! Let's...Go...Lottery!!! Say it with me Knicks fans!

Even the dumbest human being to ever walk this earth would know what the biggest problem with the Knicks is.
Humility is a virtue and pride is a vice.
it starts with the coach-the lineups he uses on the floor, not playing players that can contribute more then other players, poor execution, no plays, waiting to call timeouts till were down double digits, and for the simple fact his only motivation he has for the players is "lets go lets go lets go"
2nd problem we have no PG
3rd problem OUR BENCH SUCKS
Dumbtoni gets my vote for biggest problem though.
when baron comes back and we dont win our first game with him back and if dantoni still has no game plan or any effective plays. i want him fired... not just fired i want him fired in the post conference after the game i want dolan to be there to tell him he's fired in front of reporters i want him fired on the spot Vince mcmahan WWE style. i have no sympathy for dantoni.
i want him to repeatedly here that he is fired just so he can grasp it all in as well. EXAMPLE SHOWN IN VIDEO BELOW

Point guard. Do I think MDA is some great coach? No, I don't. But lack of a true playmaker and a guy that can control the game, control tempo, feed guys where they need the ball, etc.. That's the biggest problem in my eyes...If we had even a halfway decent playmaker, we'd have a better record (how much better i couldn't tell ya, just better) and we wouldn't be all over D'Antoni as much as we are.
NO point guard, horrible bench.
PG. D'Antoni isn't a great coach but the PG is the bigger issue here.
Dantoni had his big 3 already and failed in phoenix
Nash, joe johnson, Stat. how do you not win a championship with a lineup of nash,richardarson,joe johnson,marion and stoudemire with a decent bench
if he cant make that work he aint making the knicks work no matter who the PG is. Mind you the Big 3 miami heat/ westbrook, durant,perkins/ cp3,griffin/jordan/ rose,boozer,noah and all these other tandems in the NBA did not even exist at this time

1. No PG
2. Poor Coach
3. Two Overrated "Superstars"
4. Horrible Bench

Although Melo was out a few games, the offense never went directly through Amare. How is this not a coaching issue?
Second issue, most of you guy have already identified it, where's the point guard. Letting Billups go was a bad amateurish move. I was not in favor of gutting the team for Melo. We can clearly see who got the better end of that deal. Melo is a great scorer but he chucks up too many shots and doesn't make anyone better.
It's not a total bust. We need a solid PG. I'd much rather have Davis in a supporting role as a backup PG. Bring back Felton or Billups. We've got a good supporting cast now. PG is the only missing piece. Coaching has to be addressed. Not saying get rid of D'Antoni, but he's got to emphasize inside scoring. Try running the offense through Amare for a change.
our porblem living in the past, thanks sport you mention the obvious, but stop living in the past and think of solution. fire MDA great solution, trade PG great solution. we needs solution, sound nagging old fart

Hunters in Alabama got the haul of a lifetime when they nabbed a 1,000-pound alligator.
The monster gator, measuring 15 feet long, was pulled from the water in southern Alabama over the weekend during the state's gator hunting season, according to Al.com.
It's the largest gator ever legally killed in Alabama.
In fact, the creature was so big, state biologists had to use a backhoe to lift the animal for weighing. It broke a winch assembly used to weigh most gators.
The gator was caught by Mandy and John Stokes; and Kevin Jenkins and his children, 16-year-old Savannah and 14-year-old Parker, The Associated Press reported.

The discussion of Attorney General Opinion WW-870 took place in the May 30 meeting.
Before discussing the item, Karnes County resident Maurice Yarter spoke to the court on the topic.
Yarter briefly summarized the opinion for the court which was submitted by the county attorney for Kleberg County in 1960.
"The county roads in Kleberg County at the time, oil revenues, as they do today, go to the state," Yarter said. "Kleberg County basically filed a suit against the state, went to the attorney general for an opinion and basically said that the state, if they own the roads, and are collecting revenues, then they have a responsibility to maintain those roads."
Yarter said the opinion has never been challenged or overturned. He recommended support of the resolution to negate the opinion, because it overturned, then the oil revenue currently going to the state, would go to the county, instead.
County Commissioner Shelby Dupnik told the court that DeWitt County Judge Daryl Fowler is involved with the effort to bring the issue before the next session of the Texas Legislature.
County Judge Richard Butler said the oil and gas values under the county roads can add up to a substantial amount of money over time. He said that over the past 40 months, the state received royalties totaling $7.5 million for oil and gas produced from beneath Karnes County's county roads.
"It is a tremendous amount of money that has gone to the state for use that doesn't benefit us," Butler said. "We generate the income and they get the money."
Butler made a motion to approve the resolution supporting Judge Fowler's effort to have the opinion reversed through legislation.
The motion was seconded by County Commissioner Tracey Schendel and the motion carried on a unanimous vote.

José Juan Salaz was turned over to U.S. Marshals in Mexico Thursday and was flown to the George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston.
According to a report released by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice Thursday, the 38-year-old fugitive actually was arrested in Mexico in January 2013.
An American citizen, Salaz has lived in Mexico since crossing the border at Laredo only hours from the time he escaped the Garza East Unit on March 22, 1997, at about 9:40 p.m.
Salaz climbed over three 16-foot fences topped by razor wire and sprinted for the fence on the east side of the Chase Field Criminal Justice Center to make his escape.
According to the TDCJ press release, Salaz was serving three concurrent 35-year sentences for two counts of attempted murder of a police officer and aggravated kidnapping with a deadly weapon at the time of his escape.
Salaz was serving the sentences after being convicted for his part in an April 2, 1995, incident that took place in Houston.
He and a co-defendant, Geronimo Soto Alvardo, were convicted of kidnapping a Hispanic male at gunpoint and demanding a ransom.
Alvardo was given a life sentence and is still serving his sentence in Texas.
The Houston Police Department homicide team arranged for the ransom to be paid in exchange for the victim in the 7000 block of Lawndale in Houston.
After the victim was released, officers identified themselves and were arresting the suspects when Salaz and Alvardo opened fire.
One homicide sergeant was hit in his body armor and was not seriously hurt. Another officer was wounded in one hand.
Salaz suffered serious injuries when the officers returned fire. After recovering, he pleaded guilty in court.
Since making his escape to Mexico, Salaz had eluded capture south of the border until last year.
Investigators with the TDCJ's Office of Inspector General and U.S. Marshal Service worked with Mexican authorities and continued to chase leads that TDCJ sources said "spanned the globe."
Salaz's arrest and extradition marks an end to a long quest for justice.

RSBS Undercover: Jeff as a Yankees Fan, Day 11
The learning curve on being a Yankees fan isn't nearly as forgiving as one might expect given the Evil Empire's age old stranglehold on professional sports fandom. I'm a smart guy; but even I am having a hard time understanding it all:
"We friggin' HATE A.J. Burnett!"
"We friggin' LOVE A.J. Burnett!"
"WHO the friggin' frig is A.J. Burnett!?!?"
Uh… what?
But don't let lightning fast fluttering allegiances get ya down, especially if you're a bandwagoneer. As long as you remember the basics (i.e. Jeter is GOD; Mo will kill you in your sleep and not break a sweat; Posada is a defense-challenged commodity) then you shouldn't have any troubles navigating through the Yankees' world of privileged self-righteousness.
Of course, there's one more thing you should know: once you go there… you can never go back. You can never unsee. Never unfeel.
When Mark Teixeira went down with his injury the other night, I couldn't stop myself from thinking…
Now, pardon me while my conscious does battle with my psyche.
Happy Friday!

That's never out of the question in the Bronx. He might have to wear number 83 or…59a..or something like that.
He'll have to work that out with Crawford and Lee next year. Uniform numbers are getting harder to come by over there.
I have a lot of catching up to do.
Oooh…that image of Pujols had to hurt. Ouch!
And so Mo is Freddy Kruger? I may never sleep again…
That visual of Pujols in pinstripes is not a good one. Now that the Yankees have just been bounced (early!) from the post-season, however, they'll be looking at the FA market with a new vengeance. Hmmm…
I'll be catching up with you guys again now that the off-season is nearing (although there is some good pitching I'm anticipating yet). I did like the "Sit Down and Be Counted" entry I saw a while back! (I HATE the "Wave"!)
Take care, Jeff and Allen!
So now on day 12 you'll be curled up in a corner sucking your thumb whimpering, which will probably go on for a month or more sucking as much sympathy as possible from everyone around you, eventually you'll grow a pair and go back to being a Cards fan…:-)
Still I think you found the essence of Yankee fans, so your research went well…
Mike — You crack me up…. so true though. I'll take 53c please. LOL.
Jenn — Yeah, Mo as Kruger sounds about right. He does have a nasty CUTTER!
Greg — Thanks, come back any time! We miss ya!
Peter — I think the research went well. Now, if I could just get my soul back.
Prince — On it!
OMG I love Pujols!!! He would look pretty damn sexy in pinstripes, but I know that's NEVER gonna happen…haha I can dream, though. I feel bad for my boys. Their season ended too soon. Oh well…they'll get another chance

Wind development measure passes House
MONTPELIER The Vermont House on Friday overwhelmingly passed a bill that was originally proposed as a moratorium on ridgeline wind development in Vermont.
Over the past two months, though, the bill was reduced to a study of how the state approves renewable energy projects.
The House voted 140-3 to approve the Senate bill.
Rep. Tony Klein, D-East Montpelier, chairman of the House Natural Resources and Energy Committee, has emerged as a lightning rod for opponents hoping to strike down wind projects. On Friday he rose to passionately acknowledge that the beleaguered bill has taken a circuitous route to the House floor.
A product of the 1960s, he quoted the Grateful Dead.
What a long, strange trip this has been, said Klein, whose committee found that the kind of research called for in the Senate bill would be nearly impossible and too expensive to conduct.
Some of the tasks that were sent to us in the Senate bill was on research that, quite frankly, hasnt been done anywhere yet, Klein told his colleagues, pointing to real estate values that may or may not be affected by energy-generation plants as one example.
To really get some sort of baseline of understanding, youve got to go to a community where a project has been built and remember that weve only had recently two projects built in the last few years and youve got to wait and see what happens to the real estate values there, Klein said.
He emphasized that his committee learned it would take four to six years to get reliable real estate information time, he said, lawmakers cant afford to take in developing energy policies.
There is an energy problem in this country, Klein added. There is an energy problem in this world, and we cant go on, business as usual and not pay attention to it.
Proponents in the House and Senate had hoped the bill would give greater local control to town and regional planning committees in reviewing renewable energy projects.
Rep. Don Turner, R-Milton, the minority leader, said his constituents who live near Georgia Mountain still hope for a more cautious, balanced approach to ridgeline wind development.
This week the wind turbines on the mountain didnt turn at all, Turner reported. We need to understand that.
Turner added, Georgia Mountain, which was this pristine mountain, now has a cut right up through the middle with four big turbines sticking out of it. Some say beautiful, some dont.
Turner and other House lawmakers said they are confident that the bill recognizes some of the flaws in Vermonts renewable energy policies.

Hey max,
Below is a link, typical hooks are 1/4-3/4 inch depending on load capacity. This is a bolt on, not for putting into studs.
Works Great
These are great hooks for hanging your bikes.
They were straight forward, easy to install. and do the job they are intended for.
A great price as well!

Birthplace: AnonymousOctober 03,2013The town of Brandon has worked hard to promote the birthplace of Stephen A. Douglas, the politician of Abraham Lincolns era who was well known in the years leading up to the Civil War.
There are Civil War memorials in many other Vermont towns, but one Vermonter of Civil War times is not likely to have a memorial in his native town of Norwich. That was Oramel Barrett, who as an editor of a newspaper in Pennsylvania described Lincolns address at Gettysburg as silly, deserving only of oblivion.
Barrett, a fierce supporter of Democrats, was described in an article written for a Civil War history magazine by his great-great-grandson. He moved from Vermont to Harrisburg, Pa., and became owner and editor of the Daily Patriot and Union in that community. He wrote a number of editorials sneering at Lincoln, and Republicans in general.
When a Confederate raiding party set fire to the town of Chambersburg near Harrisburg, Barrett wrote: Abraham Lincoln is the principal cause of this calamity.
His descendant, Douglas Stewart, called that expression tortured logic.
Barrett was opposed to emancipation. Among other things, he printed a detailed account of atrocities against white planters in Haiti, making it sound as if the acts had just happened when in fact they had happened 70 years earlier.
The newspaper also emphasized Union defeats and downplayed Union victories. The tone of his diatribes is similar to what you hear from Tea Party people today. The subject matter is different, but the attitude is the same our side is all good and the other side is all bad.
Stewart, his descendant, has read his ancestors newspapers online, and commented: I enjoy the liveliness and unabashed love of politics, but Im appalled by its reliance on slander as entertainment and its in-your-face racism.
A century and a half ago this coming Nov. 19, Lincoln was at Gettysburg to take part in the dedication of a cemetery on the battlefield. The principal orator was Edward Everett of Massachusetts, who spoke for more than an hour.
Lincoln had been asked by the events organizers to give a few appropriate remarks. His 10-sentence address was carried by telegraph throughout the North. Barrett, for his part, claimed the whole event was orchestrated to promote the re-election efforts of Republicans. In the week after the ceremony this is what he wrote:
We have read the little speech of President Lincoln, delivered on the occasion of dedicating the national cemetery, a plot of ground set apart for the burial of the dead who fell at Gettysburg. He acted without sense and without constraint, in a panorama which was gotten up more for his benefit and the benefit of his party than for the glory of the nation and the honor of the dead.
To the mourners the occasion was solemn. With them, the motive was honest, earnest and honorable. But how was it with the chief actors in the pageant, from none of whose loins had sprung a solitary hero, living or dead, of this war which was begotten of their fanaticism and has been ruled by their whims?
They stood there, upon that bloody ground, not with hearts stricken with grief or elated by ideas of true glory, but coldly calculating the political advantages which might be derived from the solemn ceremonies of the dedication.
We pass over the silly remarks of the president. For the credit of the nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them, and that they shall be no more repeated or thought of.
It is not likely that the town of Norwich will try to seek out the birthplace of Oramel Barrett.

Tyrone McCarthy wants more competitive international game
Warrington forward Tyrone McCarthy has written to the Rugby Football League, putting forward his ideas to make lesser nations more competitive.
England's Autumn International Series victory was followed by criticism about the standard of opposition they faced.
"It's not competitive enough," said Ireland international McCarthy.
"That's what people have been striving to get - a competitive game for the England team for when they play New Zealand and Australia."
He told BBC Radio Merseyside: "I want Ireland to be a success, but more so, I want the game of rugby league to be a success.
"Sometimes they [the administrators] might not have thought of those ideas. If people aren't saying what they think, how are they supposed to know what's going on in people's minds?"
McCarthy scored a try in Warrington's Challenge Cup final victory over Leeds at Wembley in August
Steve McNamara's side thumped Wales 80-12 in their first match and then cruised to two easy victories over France to claim the trophy last month.
While the Autumn International Series was being played, Ireland were involved in their own mini tournament.
Scotland were beaten 30-18 in Edinburgh, but Ireland were then hammered 56-4 by England Knights - effectively England's reserve side.
McCarthy, who is expected to be part of Ireland's squad for next year's World Cup, wants to see Scotland, Wales and Ireland internationals given more Super League experience, allowing those countries to build stronger national teams as a result.
And players switching their national allegiances is another area where he would like to see changes made.
His Warrington team-mate Ben Harrison and Wigan hooker Michael McIlorum were members of the Ireland squad at the last World Cup in 2008 and have since gone on to earn full honours with England.
"If you look at the lads who have played for Ireland, there are a few that are now England internationals," added the 24-year-old. "It goes to show that good players have represented Ireland over the last few years.
"They've all been eligible [for both England and Ireland] and if those rules are in place - they might have always said they want to play for England - but it takes that question out.
"Maybe the international teams wouldn't feel as discouraged about lads leaving and going on to play for countries at what is seen as a higher level."
The Wolfhounds, currently ranked ninth in the world, have been drawn alongside England, Australia and Fiji at the World Cup.
Ireland's World Cup fixtures
- 28 October: Fiji
- 2 November: England
- 9 November: Australia
"We don't want to be getting beaten by 20 or 30 points. We want to make sure we're trying to win these games.
"I don't think we could have had a harder group. Fiji is our first game and the top three go through, so that's the massive one that we're looking at. If we win that, that will give us the confidence for the last two games against England and Australia."

Buying Cincinnati Reds Season Tickets
In December, I received a brochure from the Cincinnati Reds asking me to renew my season tickets. I once was a Reds season ticket holder in 2010, when I bought a Baker's Dozen 13 game plan. I spent like $90 on one seat for 13 games. I ended up only attending three games in Cincinnati that year, and snagging 13 balls total, but one of those games was game three of the NLDS, where I snagged six balls and set a single season record.
It was early October, and it was Amy and my first ever road trip together, so I have a soft spot in my heart for Cincinnati.
Without giving away too much information about my 2012 master schedule (we'll save that for another blog) , it looks like I'll be attending hopefully at least 10 games there, although I could attend up to 20 games there.
I figured that since the Reds will be a hot ticket this year (they're going to win the Central) that I would go ahead and buy a VIP plan. Full 81 games. 2 tickets to each game. 162 tickets in total. It cost me $1289.50, but I made a lot of that back by selling my opening day tickets from the plan. I plan on holding back 40 tickets worth and selling the other 122 to at least break even.
So what's there to like about the Cincinnati Reds and Great American Ballpark this year? Here's some of the benefits:
1) Early access
I'll be entering at 4:30 many games by buying a BP tour ticket. If the tickets are sold out, I'd still get in at 5:10 with the season ticket holders, but imagine having BP with just a hand full of other people for the first 70 minutes of batting practice. That's right – the general public doesn't get in until 5:40. Zack Hample took advantage of this in 2011 and snagged 36 in one game. What would you rather ballhawk in? This?
Or this?
The crowds at Great American Ballpark can really suck, especially when you have to factor in those railings in the aisles that block your mobility. You can pretty much forget snagging much from 5:40-6:10.
2) Good resell value
I've sold 8 of the 122 tickets that I won't use already on stubhub. The cheapest opening day seat is currently selling for $109. That's for just one ticket! With the Tigers and Indians coming to GABP, there's demand.
3) Opportunity to buy more Opening Day tickets.
All season ticket holders are guaranteed the opportunity to get more opening day tickets. Meaning, at the very least, if I bought two more for $20 and resold them for $220 – well, you can do the math. We're just chipping away at that $1289.50.
4) Take batting practice on the field.
All full season ticket holders get to take batting practice on the field at Great American Ballpark. Unlike PNC Park, its for full season ticket holders only, so hopefully there'll be less people there resulting in more cage time for me. My ultimate goal is to jack one out of a major league ballpark. I haven't been lifting all these weights for nothing. I haven't been able to do it at PNC Park yet.
5) Post-season guaranteed tickets
When the Reds make the post season in 2012, I'll get to buy more tickets. Even if I can't attend, reselling the tickets will make this investment more beneficial.
6) Unused season ticket exchange program
I used this before in 2010 when I had the Baker's Dozen plan to exchange my unused tickets for a game later in the season against the Brewers that I could easily spin off to a buyer on ebay. It's simple, by mail, and if you can't get rid of your tickets, then you can request games later in the season.
With the purchase of these Reds tickets, that makes 7 season tickets for 3 different teams that I'm now the owner of. That's 567 tickets that I have.
Did I go overboard? What do you think? Were the Reds tickets worth it? I think they were. All of my tickets for my 2012 games are bought and paid for, and I'm going to get a lot of that money back by reselling the ones I can't use.
At any rate, if you need a season ticket to get in early to PNC Park or Great American Ballpark, you now know where to turn.
There's only 58 more days until Opening Day, 11 days until pitchers and catchers report to spring training, and 6 days to win this Brandon Phillips jersey Tshirt.

Reds tickets are worth it, but hopefully you can bring a buddy to split gas costs unless you Megabus. Maybe if I am feeling well I would go with you to Cincy.
Brewers are gonna win the Central Erik! If Braun avoids the 50, they still look good. The Reds ride on Latos being able to pitch outside Petco, and now at GABP.
It looks like a sound strategy to me as far as the Reds tickets go. After Zack's 36 game performance last year, it really looks like the spot to put up huge numbers. It would seem a bit overboard to me if you didn't have your summers off, but in essence, ballhawking becomes your job in the summer. When I ballhawked in 2009 it really consumed a ton of my time. From getting to the dome early to be at the front of the line to staying after the game to get toss ups from the ball boy, it wasn't uncommon to invest 6 hours all told with commuting time factored in. Add that to a full time job and I didn't have much time for anything else on game days. I do not have a wife or kids so I am able be really selfish with my time.
Big Glove Bob
I wish I lived more near to a team so I could do that. Being in the NY area, it can be done but it's insanely expensive (not to mention other responsibilities hold my time up). I try to do a few trips a year. Speaking of which, anyone have any good tips for Toronto?
Hey the Reds could have a shot this year in the NL central. With the Brewers and cardinals losing major players it will be all about pitching this season.
If I end up in Cincy at some point I'll definitely email you about tickets.
Nice and like your hair cut

When Cinemax debuted "Strike Back" last summer, I thought it would just be a vehicle for fast-paced action and gratuitous boobies. Yes, "Strike Back," a high-octane drama focusing on the British counterterrorism unit Section 20, has plenty of violence and nudity, but there's a seriousness that pushes the series beyond my expectations.
The best aspect of "Strike Back" — besides some pulse-pounding machine gun battles and break-neck fisticuffs — is the chemistry between its two leads, Michael Stonebridge (Philip Winchester), a British sergeant of the anti-terrorist team, and Damien Scott (Sullivan Stapleton), a former U.S. Special Forces operative. The two came together to stop an attack, and by the end of the season their bond felt genuine.
Season 2 separates Stonebridge and Scott early on, which isn't ideal, but the storytelling is still pretty strong. The individual narratives are built on solid action tropes, and they set up an enticing conclusion by the end of the 90-plus-minute premiere.
Rhona Mitra ("Doomsday") is a new nice addition to the cast; her tough-chick skills are underrated and always a welcomed addition in the action genre.
If you missed the first season of "Strike Back," I recommend catching up before watching Season 2, but if you're in dire need of good action heroics, you won't be completely lost. —Jesse Tigges

The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance: Back to the future
NARROWSBURG, NY — As a faithful supporter of the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance (DVAA), I'm looking forward to celebrating the 35th Anniversary Gala with like-minded folks on Sunday, October 9 (see sidebar). Sifting through the mounds of articles already written about the organization since it's inception in 1976, I searched for information not readily available. While the anniversary offers an opportunity to reflect on the past and honor those who have contributed, it is the future that piqued my interest, and with that in mind I arranged a conversation with executive director Elaine Giguere, gallery director Michael (Rocky) Pinciotti and communications director Tina Spangler.
The talk was illuminating, educational and stimulating—adjectives I usually reserve for describing events at the place which is indeed, an art gallery, but on closer inspection, so much more. It also revealed that, for all three, the there is an intimate connection between the future and the past. All three expressed the identical vision: stay the course.
"We have a history of tremendous artistic success," Pinciotti told me, "and have no plans to deviate from the path. What we present here is done adhering to very high standards, and with continued support from the communities, patrons and volunteers, we plan to be here for many years to come."
While funding for the arts has suffered in recent years, one would be hard pressed to notice any slacking off at the DVAA, as everyone involved works diligently to overcome those obstacles without allowing them to affect the programs, much less the future of the organization. "It (the economic slump) will bottom out at some point, and we have by no means lost hope," Giguere said. "Supporting the arts takes a big commitment, and we are prepared to deal with the present, while continuing to move into the future."
What does suffer from the lack of financial support, is the small staff's ability to foster as much new artistic expression as they would like. Missing a full-time employee (other than Giguerre) for over two years, those holding down the fort find that the day-to-day duties required to "simply keep the place running" often affect how much can be achieved. "We'd like to give as much attention as possible to the various disciplines that we encourage," Giguere said, "but budget cuts stand in our way of accomplishing all of our goals in a timely manner."
"Unlike many arts organizations, we have a very active board of directors," Pinciotti said. "We are extremely fortunate to have a core group of selfless volunteers who give so much of their time and energy." Spangler concurred. "Without community support, we would be adrift," she said. "I'm so grateful to have a wonderful job and be a part of this great organization, which continues to grow and thrive, in the face of adversity—and gives all creative individuals a home to call their own."
"Everything we do here is driven by the artists themselves," Giguere said, "not only those who have shown here in the past, but also those who have yet to discover all that we have to offer." Those who are already familiar know that the historic building (the former Arlington Hotel) on Main Street in Narrowsburg, NY houses two art galleries, a performance space and meeting hall, but I was surprised to learn that there is more unused space begging to be developed. Two yet-to-be-renovated floors still await, and the new porch has just been completed. While having more full-time staff would "help make everything more doable," Giguere and co. are forging ahead. "Presenting artists, of every genre, is what we do," she said. "The work is not for us to judge, and what interests one individual or another is highly subjective."
Pinciotti agreed and said that "our main focus is the artists. We have a great facility and want everyone to know it is for them to use. No one is excluded; the DVAA is here for artistic expression of all kinds." Art, writing, poetry and theatre are but a few of the many forms that creativity takes and there is room for "all that and so much more" as the DVAA looks to the future while gratefully acknowledging the past.
With strong support and affiliation with the Delaware Valley Opera, the Callicoon Theatre, Dancing Cat Saloon, The River Gallery and scores of friends in the Upper Delaware Valley, the DVAA shows no signs of slowing down. "It takes a strong commitment to deal with the present while continuing to build our future," Pinciotti said, "but we—the staff, the community and those who have yet to discover us, are up to the challenge." Spangler nodded in agreement. "We want everyone to feel welcome, always. We'd like to think that folks know we're here, but our goal is to continue making them aware of not only what goes on here at the DVAA, but what the future holds."
DVAA 35th Anniversary Gala
The gala will be held on Sunday, October 9 at 3 p.m. at the Tusten Theatre, 210 Bridge St. in Narrowsburg, NY, and from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Delaware Arts Center at 37 Main St.
In addition to celebrating its 35 years of service to the arts, the DVAA will present awards to honorees in four categories: Business Partner to the Callicoon Theatre for the CineArt film series; Lifetime Achievement to Sheldon Soffer; Artistic Contribution (organization) to the Forestburgh Playouse; and Artistic Contribution (individual) to Phyllis Billick.

Students to perform real-life stories in 'That Takes Ovaries!'
Posted on March 13, 2013
Second-year student Chartia Robinson decided to get involved with the upcoming production of "That Takes Ovaries!: Bold Women, Brazen Acts" because she felt a connection to its message.
Grand Valley students in "That Takes Ovaries!" will use theater to tell real-life stories of women and girls who have performed courageous actions. Grand Valley's production of the play on March 22 and 23 will use short stories from the book, That Takes Ovaries!: Bold Females and Their Brazen Acts, and stories written by women from the West Michigan community.
"I found out about 'That Takes Ovaries' at Campus Life Night and it just spoke to me, so I thought it was something I needed to do," Robinson said, who is majoring in accounting and human resources management. She is one of 10 student directors for the production and will perform in a skit about a woman who overcame insecurities about her body.
"That Takes Ovaries!" is set for performances at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 22, on the Allendale Campus and Saturday, March 23, at Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids. Tickets are $15 for community members and $10 dollars for students; prices increase by $5 at the door. Tickets for the performance in Allendale can be purchased at the 20/20 desk in the Kirkhof Center. Tickets for the performance at Wealthy Theatre can be purchased online at www.wealthytheatre.org/ovaries or by calling (616) 459-4788.
Brittany Dernberger, assistant director of the Women's Center, said about half of the scenes in this year's production are true stories submitted by the Grand Valley campus and community. Scenes submitted include stories about a woman who tried out for her high school football team, a man who talks about his mom and how she provided for her five sons as a single parent, and a woman who leaves an abusive relationship with the support of her mentor.
The Women's Center at Grand Valley will use the production to raise funds for local and international women's and girl's rights efforts. In the past 11 years, the Women's Center raised more than $100,000 for organizations that support women and girls, including the Center for Women in Transition, YWCA and the international V-Day Movement.
Learn more about the book and play at www.thattakesovaries.org.

History converges at Ten Mile River; Remembering an 'army' that planted trees
The history of the Ten Mile River CCC Camp and the TMR Scout Camp are intertwined. In the 1920s, when FDR was governor of New York and had been involved for years with Scouting, he was part of a group of Scout officials charged with finding a large parcel of land to be the home camp for the New York City (NYC) Scouts. After raising $1 million to purchase and develop 10,000 acres of woodlands in Sullivan County near Narrowsburg, the NYC Scouts took possession of their camp. The deed was recorded on October 7, 1927 in Monticello, NY.
Just six years later, in October 1933, CCC Camp 65 was established, operating for several years until the program was terminated. During that time, CCC enrollees helped establish roads, fire trails and communication lines from Scout camp to Scout camp.
The CCC's 80th anniversary
The museum at TMR is the unifying element of the 80th anniversary event of the CCC. The large collection of memorabilia of both the CCC and TMR includes local coin collections, 2,000-year-old Indian arrowheads and other tools discovered in the rock quarries found on the camp property. There will be displays by local historical societies and the National Park Service. A comprehensive video collection includes the PBS documentary "The C.C.C."
TMR/CCC day on August 4 is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission and parking are free. According to event curator David Malatzky, this is a "must-see" for lovers of nature and local history and a great outdoor experience for the whole family.

"Blueberries are heavily marketed as a super source of antioxidants.
Industry Video
"The astounding antioxidant capacity of the wild blueberry is what first
attracted modern-day scientists to study this amazing gift from mother
And in supermarkets, you see the word "antioxidants" everywhere. Snapple
iced tea mix boasts "antioxidants." Tropicana Orange juice says it has an
"antioxidant advantage." And even this bag of chips claims it "contains
antioxidant power."
Dr. John Santa
Consumer Reports
"Antioxidants are beneficial. They block the action of free radicals, which
can damage healthy cells in your body and contribute to heart disease,
cancer, and other illnesses."
But Consumer Reports' health experts say don't be taken in by packaged
foods touting antioxidants.
Gayle Williams
Consumer Reports
"A manufacturer can add antioxidants to food, but that doesn't mean it's a
good source for what you need."
Take Kellogg's FiberPlus bars that say they are "rich in antioxidants,
Vitamin E, and Zinc."
Gayle Williams
"You can get more vitamin E from just once ounce of almonds, and you can
get more zinc from just three ounces of lean beef."
And should you really focus on wild blueberries? Are they the "number one
antioxidant fruit?"
Gayle Williams
"There is no one antioxidant 'superfood.' The best thing to do is eat a wide
variety of foods that are naturally rich in antioxidants, like fruits, vegetables,
and whole grains. Those will give you the biggest benefit." ."

The trees near my office are wrapped tightly in blue lights. It's surprisingly impressive and despite the fact that they went up just after Halloween (too early in my opinion), I am struck often by their beautiful simplicity.
The carolers on the subway are good and plentiful. It seems that all the best subway performers come out this time of year. It's actually enjoyable when they enter the train, and I notice that even the toughest looking folks crack smiles.
Hearing those old songs really does take me back. "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" conjured up an unexpected memory of one of my own saxophone solos at a school holiday concert. It was a nice memory and one I hadn't considered in some time.
I miss those holiday concerts, and boy, I never thought I'd say that.
For me, there is something about the holidays that make me nostalgic for the days of youth. There was never a more exciting time than Christmas when you were a kid. Days off from school and presents galore! Who could argue with that?
It makes me think of the Christmas decorations housed up in the attic at my mom's house during the year. We would carry them down in big boxes sometime in mid-December. I had a nutcracker collection that would be proudly displayed on the mantel above the wood-burning stove. I remember that everything was cold to the touch.
We used to always cut down our own trees and they almost always had a Charlie Brown Christmas vibe. Early on, I remember being struck by how much more fun it was to decorate the tree than to take it down. It was a deep thought for a small brain.
The night before Christmas, we would leave out cookies and milk and I would lie in bed just aching to go to sleep. I would stare straight up at my ceiling and try to think of anything but the next morning and the slight possibility that I might hear a bump of a sleigh on the roof.
My ears strained at every small noise.
In the morning, I raced to the top of the stairs and, from high above the room, looked down at all of the presents neatly under the tree. I remember thoughts of pure joy as I scampered down the stairs to grab my stuffed stocking off the mantel.
The cookies and milk would always be gone. Of course.
Later in my life, holidays got to be a little more stressful. When my parents got divorced, I remember really hating the fact that I had to travel on Christmas Day, and I have a sad memory of driving with my dad to meet my mom in a bakery parking lot in New Jersey. I vividly remember getting out of one car and into another. A strange hand-off in a foreign place.
But my mother's smile was warm, and seeing the other side of my family was always enough to cheer me up.
A few years later, I invited my first girlfriend for the holidays. It was a nice feeling to introduce someone I cared about to my family.
Gradually the holidays became less and less about getting presents and more and more about giving them. Now it has become more about office holiday parties and a chance to catch up with old friends I never get to see. A chance to toast each other's accomplishments.
This year, my own celebrations will be very low key. It's actually the first year that I won't be seeing my family on Christmas Day. It all worked out so that I was able to celebrate with both sides of my family a bit early and I'll be spending the day with Emily and a few of our friends.
It's a small thing, but it's got me feeling very grown up. But enough about me...
Here's to you, dear reader, and your family. Wishing you a fantastic holiday season in whichever way you choose to celebrate.

ROBERT TRENT JONES GOLF TRAIL JUNIORMagnolia Grove Golf Club â Falls and Crossings CourseMobile, AlabamaSeptember 3-6, 2004PARK HOLDS OFF PRESSEL IN PLAYOFF FOR SECOND AJGA VICTORYHaley downs Kim on first playoff hole for Boys Division championship
MOBILE, Ala. â With a successful two-putt on the first playoff hole, Angela Park of Torrance, Calif., overcame a strong charge by Morgan Pressel of Boca Raton, Fla., to capture the second AJGA victory of her career. A playoff also decided the Boys Division as Paul Haley of Dallas defeated Lion Kim of Lake Mary, Fla., to seize his second AJGA win of the year.Originally scheduled as a 54-hole event concluding Monday, the tournament was shortened to 36 holes due to the approach of Hurricane Frances, which is expected to begin affecting the Mobile area on Monday.Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail Junior was played on the Falls and Crossings Courses at Magnolia Grove Golf Club. Ninety-nine boys competed at the Falls Course, while the Crossings Course hosted 57 girls. Twenty-nine states and two foreign countries were represented at the event, which marked the end of the AJGA summer schedule. Already in the clubhouse at 7-under par for the tournament, Park watched her lead dwindle as the day passed. Her 68-69â137 was eventually matched by Pressel, who fired a girls tournament record-low round of 66 for a 71-66â137 to force a sudden-death playoff.Both playersâ approach shots landed more safely on the green on the first playoff hole. Parkâs first putt stopped within a foot of the hole, while Pressel left herself 10 feet for par. The 10-footer stopped on the lip of the hole, and Park finished out for a par and the victory."I was kind of surprised that par was good enough to win it on No. 18," admitted the 16-year-old Park. "I thought I would have to make birdie to win, considering how good of a player Morgan is."Presselâs final-round 66 earned her sole possession of second place, while Julieta Granada of Asuncion, Paraguay, finished in third place with a tournament total of 71-71â142.Both Haley and Kim made runs towards the top of the leaderboard with birdies late in their rounds. Haley made birdie on holes No. 16, 17 and 18, while Kim birdied No. 17âboth ended their round at 1-under par. "I thought 1-under par might win it and I managed to birdie the last three holes to make it into a playoff," said the 16-year-old Haley.On the first playoff hole, Haley stuck his approach five feet from the cup, while Kim found trouble in the fairway bunker. Haley made his birdie putt for the win, his second of the year."Itâs really satisfying to win one of the most prestigious tournaments with one of the strongest fields that the AJGA has," Haley said. "Itâs a great feeling."Kim finished alone in second place, while first-round leader Philip Francis of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Glenn Northcutt of Dothan, Ala., finished tied for third place with tournament totals of even-par 144. Finishing alone in fifth place at 1-over-par 143 was Luke Hopkins of Greer, S.C.The American Junior Golf Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the overall growth and development of young men and women who aspire to earn college golf scholarships through competitive junior golf.

You could have watched replays of the GOP debates. That would have been right up there with Amy Grant's Greatest Hits.
I feel for you Jeff. It was not a good for us Dodger fans either. At the same time that that announcement was made, we heard about our first baseman James Loney was accused of spitting at a
cop after being arrested over his part in a multiple-car accident. No bueno.
I know but I also skipped the conference. Two teams I did not want Pujols to go to, Giants and Angels. Oh well..

Time ran out for fugitive Noah Paul Meza, 30 of Beeville, when he was arrested by Sgt. Clint Davis of the TRPD.
According to the police report, Davis received a call from a U.S. marshal on March 10 about a wanted felon, Noah Paul Meza. The marshal informed Davis that one of his confidential informants had made a narcotics buy from Meza that night.
The marshal gave Davis the suspected location in Three Rivers where he thought Meza would be and Davis said he would go and check it out.
The marshal also told Davis that Meza sometimes goes by the alias of Caleb Chalker.
Davis arrived at the house with several patrol deputies. Upon approaching the front door, he was stopped by a man sitting in a car in the driveway.
He asked the man his name and the man replied Caleb Chalker.
With that information Davis was able to detain the man until he could get in touch with the marshal to identify marks on the man.
Once it was confirmed that they had the right man, they were able to place him under arrest for eight different warrants out of three counties.
Davis then proceeded to search the front seat of the car after seeing a small scale visible on seat next to where Meza had been seated.
The search revealed a plastic bag filled with meth placed inside another bag.
A pipe and marijuana were also found in the front seat and when Davis searched the back seat a bunch of small bags typically used to hold narcotics were located.
Meza was taken to jail for the warrants but was additionally charged with failure to identify, possession of marijuana under 2 ounces and possession of a narcotic between 4 and 200 grams (meth).
He is being held in the Live Oak Jail.
Meth was also found during a traffic stop on March 6 when Sgt. Davis arrested Alan Gene Smith, 39, of Three Rivers.
Sgt. Davis and Officer Tate pulled over a vehicle on Hwy. 281 southbound after observing the driver was not wearing a seat belt.
According to the report, Davis approached the car and asked for a driver's license and explained why he was pulling him over. Smith, who was driving the car, told Davis it was expired.
Because the license was invalid, Davis requested he step out of the vehicle and move to the rear near the trunk.
Smith complied but stumbled over words when being questioned.
Davis and Officer Connor Tate also observed that Smith seemed to be making hand signals to the passenger and at this point the report stated that the trunk of the car opened.
Davis asked Smith if he could search him and requested that he remove everything from his pockets.
It was also requested that the passenger step out of the vehicle.
Tate proceeded to search the vehicle and the reports states as Davis was walking around the outside of the car he observed the corner of a plastic bag sticking out of the seam of the trunk that had not previously been there.
Upon closer inspection it was noted that the bag had meth in it.
Smith was placed under arrest for unlawful possession of a controlled substance and was given a ticket for no seat belt.
The meth weighed out at two grams.
The final arrest for meth charge was of Joann Lazcano, 31, of Three Rivers on March 9.
Officer Alberto Carrion was called to the Dairy Queen by fellow officer Noah Leushner after observing Lazcano in the parking lot.
Carrion informed Lazcano she had four class C warrants out for her arrest due to citations that she had never taken care of.
She was informed that she would be taken to jail and asked if she had any contraband on her.
She replied yes and gave the officer a glass pipe that had a white crystal-like substance.
Another sergeant was called to Dairy Queen to bring a drug kit and test the substance. It tested positive for meth.
Lazcano was placed under arrest for possession of a controlled substance under 1 gram and possession of drug paraphernalia.

By Bob Huber: PNT columnist
Is Social Security safe? We're told that unless meaningful reform is implemented, the system will be bankrupt by the year 2050, which will plunge us into chaos, despair, and extreme whining. I don't care, because I plan to be dead by then.
So let's forget about THAT problem. Instead, on this nice spring day let's talk about a more pressing crisis facing all Americans in this millennia — snakes!
When my wife Marilyn was still boss around here, she never let a week go by without expressing her annoyance at my fear of snakes. She claimed my ophidiophobia (Greek for screaming at the sight of things without legs) was little more than nagging pessimism complicated by naked self pity.
"According to your way of thinking," she liked to say, "a light at the end of a tunnel is a reflection off the eye of a snake."
"That's true," I always replied. "I'm just a viper magnet, and that's what scares me."
It was hard for our children to cope with the fact that their grown father — 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, looking like Shreck — could be frightened by snakes. My son Glen, always at the forefront of inventive minds, one time challenged my phobia.
As he told it later using elaborate gestures, he and his little sister Holly went fishing one day, and when they returned, they had a gift for me in a tackle box. Innocently I opened it, anticipating a bouquet of buttercups or at least the keys to a new Buick, but there, staring me in the face, were dozens of baby water snakes all writhing and heinous like a bowl of green, bug-eyed, evil spaghetti.
I threw the box of snakes in the air and cried, "Eeeaaugh! Snakes! Snakes! Snakes!"
There's little a father can do in a situation like that except to demonstrate the proper use of exclamation marks. But it should be noted that Glen never said the word "snake" again around me, nor could doctors ever remove my footprint from his behind.
But let's return to the tackle box. When it fluttered back to Earth, baby snakes scattered all over the kitchen floor like whiskey at an Irish wake. Completely unfounded family folklore has it that I refused to come down from the roof until Marilyn signed an environmental impact statement. That's just not true.
Anyway, the family rounded up the serpents and took them out of my sight, most of them, and a few weeks later I strolled nonchalantly to the garden to pick strawberries for a mid-morning snack. Down on my hands and knees, I hummed a merry tune until suddenly something green and slimy slithered by my fingers.
It stopped, stuck out its tongue, and said, "Boo!"
If you've ever come face to face with a mature water snake in a strawberry patch, you know it bore a striking resemblance to the Denver-Chicago Zephyr with fangs. At some point in my lengthy marriage I'd failed to make clear to Marilyn that it was sinful to place snakes in strawberry patches to frighten away birds and husbands.
When I saw the snake, I yelled, "Eeeaaugh! Snake! Snake! Snake!" and levitated eight feet in the air.
My aerial display was witnessed by the entire family through a kitchen window and was an instant sensation with the kids, although it later fostered heated debates with their friends who refused to believe I was able to remain suspended in air by simply pointing at the ground and yelling, "Eeeaaugh! Snake! Snake! Snake!"
Marilyn just shook her head and told the kids, "Go fetch your father before the wind comes up and blows him away."
Then a few days later as I stepped from a shower, I heard a faint rustling behind the clothes hamper. Without thinking, I reached out and moved the hamper.
A few minutes later I walked stiffly though the kitchen to the back door, clasping a suitcase. "Where are you going?" Marilyn asked.
"Costa Rica," I said.
"Well, write when you get work," she said.
No, I didn't go. In fact, I hung around long enough to begin worrying about Social Security and all its shortcomings. You see, I doubt it, but it's entirely possible, I suppose, that I could still be around in 2050, unless a snake gets me.

text: Thought I'd post this here since I am so close to the 1 yr mark. Baby is 10 months old and I am sooo tired of pumping! He is still drinking four 5 oz bottles at daycare so I need to pump 3-4Xs a day to keep up. He eats 3 meals a day. Shouldn't he be cutting down on his breastmilk bottles? He only nurses 4 or 5 times on the weekend days, so I think they are overfeeding him at daycare. Do you think I should stop giving them 4 bottles? I plan to breastfeed beyond one but don't plan to provide more than one bottle of bm for daycare, just enough so that I can still keep my supply up enough to nurse a couple of times a day. I am so tired of my life revolving around pumping!
