James Bacon explained the meaning of a negative reciprocal easement. He said it's just a fancy term to say that if you buy property in a community with deed restrictions, such as no businesses, no clotheslines or whatever the restriction might be, you must abide by those covenants, and every owner of a lot in the community has a right to enforce those covenants against everyone else.
That's one of the reasons, Bacon said, that developer Shaya Boymelgreen can't turn lots or driveways that he owns into access roads that would run from the Beechwood community into the neighboring Plum Beach community.
Beechwood is a community of summer cottages that was started in the late 1920s. It's located on the peninsula between White Lake and Kauneonga Lake. Boymelgreen owns 28 acres in Plum Beach, which he is subdividing for the purpose of building four houses, each about 4,000 or 5,000 square feet. There is already one road that goes through Plum Beach, through which Boymelgreen can access his property. But he has claimed it will be a "hardship" if he is not allowed to also access the property through proposed roads in the Beechwood community.
Beechwood resident Frances Randazzo said one of the access roads Boymelgreen wants to create is located in a place that has been used by her family as a driveway for 59 years and contains the septic system for the house. She said the new road would be located 11 feet from her bedroom window.
Randazzo said that the deeds in both communities had covenants that prevented the construction of "shared facilities." She accused the developer of deliberately omitting the covenants from the quitclaim deed he presented to the planning board because they would bring into question his plan to build a tennis and handball court, a pool and a large concrete parking lot.
Beechwood resident John Philp said, "When the deeds were drawn up for these two communities, there were great pains taken to be specific about how they wanted things to be, forever. The deed specified 'quiet use of the land,' and prohibited anything other than residences because the parties didn't want any commercial or country club elements."
He said Boymelgreen's plan "flies in the face" of the intention of the deeds, and also creates safety concerns for the families who live there.
The biggest barrier that may confront Boymelgreen is a property dispute resolution that dates back to 1932. In that year, the two communities resolved a dispute regarding access to Plum Beach by creating a five-foot strip of land called a reserve that would separate the communities in perpetuity in exchange for an arrangement that allowed the road to Plum Beach to be created. The proposed access roads would involve traversing the reserve, which is a direct violation of the agreement.
Boymelgreen's attorney, Elisabeth Cassidy, said that the developer believes he has the right to create the access roads, but they are in the process of getting a formal title opinion.

Been a Cincinnati Bengals fan for a very long time! The Bengals did go to the Super Bowl twice in 1982 and 1988 and lost both times to the San Fransisco 49R'S. Not many teams could beat them way back then!
This year all of our teams have a ton of new rookies. None of us know for sure just how much they will help/hurt the team? Paul Brown(Bengals owner from 1967-1990)never did believe in giving a rookie so much money as a unproven player.
After Paul Brown passed away in 1990. He left the team to his son Mike Brown. Well, the rest in history. Mike Brown did all he could in NOT helping the Bengal's get back to a Super Bowl. Mike is still very stubborn when it comes to any decision making about the Bengal's. Mike just didn't like to spend any money and had the smallest scouting department in the business. So, the Bengals never had players signed by training camp and the quality of players became almost laughable. He appointed one bad coach after another. They literately became the most laughed at pro football team in history. It was ALL MIke Browns fault..........
While Mike was destroying a once successful/proud franchise. Our arch nemesis the Pittsburgh Steelers were dominating our division year after year after year! The Bengal's were a push over and the Browns not much better either. Both teams gave the Rooney's(owners of the Steelers)the green light for multiple Super Bowl wins......and they did!
Well, things are changing for the better in Cincinnati! We have a new QB in his second year. Andy took us to the playoffs his rookie year but sadly lost that game. All players have been signed( a miracle) and are in camp. Our coach(the longest tenure in Bengal's history) has singed an extension. Our scouting department has been expanded finally. Things are looking up for a team chant that is,"Who Dey,Who Dey,Who Dey Think Gonna Beat Those Bengal's?" Hopefully we play YOUR favorite team sometime this season!
Let's hear about your favorite team................

City Councilman Tom Berg and Council Chairman Ernie Martin have sponsored a resolution that asks Mayor Peter Carlisle's administration to waive a decades-old rule that says 27 to 33 percent of the cost of operating The Bus must come from the fare box.
If the resolution passes the full Council, it would allow the city to restore bus routes that were altered or discontinued last month, without raising fares during the current fiscal year.
"My general feeling is that with the way the economy is right now, I don't think it is the right time for us to raise fares at this point," Martin told KITV4.
The city's Department of Transportation Services altered or discontinued more than 20 bus routes on June 3 to cope with a $10.5 million increase in operating expenses. Even with the cutbacks, the city expects to spend $3 million more on fuel than the previous fiscal year.
Donald Au of Manoa gathered a petition of 600 signatures after Route 5 was scaled back during peak travel times. The route loops through Manoa and Makiki before ending up at the Ala Moana Shopping Center.
"My wife works at Sears, and now that the service has been cut from every 30 minutes to every hour, she has to go to work half an hour earlier," said Au. "All the riders that I see all the time, they're really unhappy about it."
The resolution to waive the city's fare box mandate is scheduled to be heard by the Council's Budget Committee on Wednesday. If it passes, it could head to the full Council by the middle of August for final adoption.
"We're hoping that it doesn't take that long for the (Department of Transportation Services) to be proactive and just move forward," said Martin.
DTS Director Wayne Yoshioka told KITV4 he's examining the resolution sponsored by the two councilmen. He said even if the measure passes the Council, the question remains as to where the city would find the extra money to restore bus routes.
However, Martin said a review of the past two budget cycles shows DTS allowed $8 million to go unspent.
"There are ways they probably can look at in terms of tightening the belt, and then identify those funds to restore the (bus) services," said Martin.
The Council chairman also believes the city could use a federal Community Development Block Grant to restore bus service cuts. He said former Mayor Jeremy Harris used such a grant to provide bus service to the Leeward Coast.
"So, it's not setting new precedence to use these funds to augment that service," said Martin.
Berg, meanwhile, has tied the cutbacks in bus service to construction of the city's controversial $5.3 billion rail project, even though Yoshioka insists there's no link.
"Bus service should be enhanced, not cut," Berg said in a written statement. "Buses beat rail on all fronts and it is buses that should get funded over this rail boondoggle."

The Robert F. Munroe Bobcats traveled to Panama City Beach last Friday to take on the Arnold Marlins on the team's homecoming night. The Marlins gave the Bobcats a severe thrashing, taking the win 49-6.
The loss came despite troubles on the Marlin bench since the season began, including student transfers and the flu.
Munroe scored its only touchdown in the second quarter on a 6-yard run by Daniel Meeks, who led the Bobcats with 73 yards on 15 carries. The extra point attempt failed.
While West Gadsden's Panthers had an open date, East Gadsden High's Jaguars faced off against the Rickards Raiders last Friday night. The scoreboard showed the Raiders on top 34-6 at the final buzzer.
According to reports, both teams had a hard time hanging on to the ball. The Jags intercepted two Raider QB tosses, and were intercepted once.
The Jags did, however, rack up more yardage on the ground, due mostly to 92 rushing yards by East Gadsden's Montez Fryson.
The East Gadsden High School Jaguars leaves the West Gadsden Panthers scoreless after posting a 21-0 win last Friday night in the cross-county rivals' Superintendent's Cup season opener.
East Gadsden's first score came with 5:35 on the clock after a big catch, which was followed up with a quarterback-keeper from Donterrius Garrett. The point after was good, to make the score 7-0. EGHS was stopped on fourth-and-10 in the red zone and West Gadsden took over on its own 1-yard line, but a fumble caused a safety for the Jags, leading to a 9-0 game.
The Robert F. Munroe Day School volleyball team opened the 2009 season with two wins last week.
On Monday night the team traveled to Bainbridge to take on Grace Christian. The Lady Cats won all three games and the match, with scores of 25-20, 25-20 and 25-16.
Munroe was led offensively by senior outside hitter Spenser Morris. Morris finished the match with 10 kills.
The Robert F. Munroe Day School golf team opened its season by placing second in a five-way match held last week at Southwood.
Munroe's team combined for a 175 on nine holes with four players. The winning team, Len High School, scored a 154.
Munroe defeated Florida High, FAMU and Rickards. Top golfer for the Bobcats was Clay Kramm with a 40 followed by eighth grader Fletcher Morgan with a 41.
Morgan also birdied the first hole.
Preparation is the key to winning.
That's the philosophy of Tavoris Cloud, International Boxing Federation Light Heavyweight Champion of the World. The Quincy native defeated Clinton Woods in a battle of punches for the championship belt at Seminole Hard Rock Casino Aug. 28 in Hollywood. The fight went the length, 12 rounds, before a unanimous decision from three judges was delivered.
East Gadsden High School's Jaguars brought home the first victory of the season after a run-in with the Marianna Bulldogs in a preseason classic last weekend.
In the first half of play, the teams faced off with Marianna hitting the field minus four starters due to injury or illness.
The Jags took the opening ball 80 years and landed the extra point to make the game 7-0 with 7 minutes left in the first quarter.
The Kick-Off Classic was supposed to be the proving ground for the West Gadsden High School Panthers. Unfortunately, inclement weather forced the referee to suspend the game with 3:10 left in the first quarter.
The Panthers found shelter in the "Dog House." It was pouring rain, but the mood inside the "Dog House" was optimistic. The Panthers were only able to run one series on both offense and defense. However, much was revealed in less than 9 minutes of play following about 3 weeks of practice.
Tallavana Christian School is pleased to announce the appointment of Sean Crowe as head boys basketball coach for the TCS Lions.
Crowe, a graduate of Purdue University, is an experienced coach having served as head junior varsity and freshman basketball coach and varsity assistant coach at Chiles High School in Leon County since 2002.

For Immediate Release

Select Illinois districts accelerate education reform under federal Race to the Top program
Thirty-seven districts raise the bar to improve student achievement
SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois State Board of Education announced the final 37 Illinois school districts that will join with the state agency as part of the federal Race to the Top (RTT) phase three program. These districts will serve as leaders by first implementing key initiatives aimed at improving school performance and student achievement across the state under the $42.8 million RTT grant awarded to Illinois and participating districts.
"These districts are moving forward with courage to change the status quo," said State Superintendent of Education Christopher A. Koch. "All of them are ready to accelerate reform efforts and share their experiences to help all our school districts succeed and better prepare students for college and careers in the 21st century."
The federal grant is aimed broadly at closing achievement gaps. It will help bolster state initiatives across many areas. Funds will improve Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) education and build a stronger connection to post-secondary education and training. Funds will also support the on-going implementation of the new rigorous Common Core Learning Standards in Math and English Language Arts as well as innovative data systems that better inform educators and improve classroom instruction. Chief among the reforms is that districts will use new, more comprehensive principal and teacher evaluations that tie student growth to educators' reviews. Legislation calls for all Illinois districts to incorporate student growth into teacher evaluations no later than fall 2016. Participating Race to the Top districts, however, will be required to pilot these evaluation systems in the fall of 2013.
"The districts that are joining with us under this grant program know that these are good measures and they're eager to be among the first to put them in action and track results," said State Board Chairman Gery J. Chico. "Their leadership on key issues will help other districts as they follow toward implementing the aggressive reform agenda we've adopted in Illinois."
Illinois was awarded the $42.8 million phase three RTT grant last December after being a finalist in the competition's two prior rounds. Under the RTT grant, Illinois and six other states keep half their awarded funds for statewide reform work and disseminate the remaining half among participating districts. Each district's share is based on a required federal formula directing funds to the participating districts with the greatest number of low-income students. Other phase three winning states are Arizona, Colorado, Kentucky, Louisiana, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. For more information about the Illinois program, visit the State Board's Race to the Top web page at: http://www.isbe.net/racetothetop/default.htm.

October 18, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Chilly nights and excitement under the lights defined Spirit Week action for Sullivan West fans as the docket featured Senior Nights for the girls' and boys' soccer teams on October 3 and 4 and a Homecoming Football extravaganza on October 5 versus Pine Plains. Flowers, smiles, hugs and victories provided the warmth to offset plummeting temperatures.
The girls got things going with a 6-0 non-league win over Chapel Field that began by the honoring of elder stateswomen Hannah Feinman, Kaitlyn Taylor and Cassidy Sauer. Sophomore Carly Grishaber scored first. Feinman followed suit, as did freshman Megan Brockner, junior Marianne Durkin and Sauer, who had two goals on the night. The Lady Bulldogs only need one more win in their next four games to qualify for sectionals.
The boys soccer team defeated Tri-Valley, 4-0, the next night, as seniors Jonah Bauer, Ryan Feeney, Richard Lander, Adam Murphy, Andrew Siegel, Gregory Stevenson and Eli Vaknin were honored. Feeney's early goal set the tone against the winless Bears. Miguel Ramos scored and Lander added a penalty kick with a streaking shot into the lower left corner of the net. Siegel scored last. He had served in goal for most of the game before Noah Bauer took over the cage in the game's final 12 minutes. The 5-5 Bulldogs need three more wins, out of their remaining six games, to qualify for sectionals.
Football Homecoming began with the crowning of King Sawyer Erlwein and Queen Dani Myers. Football seniors Blain Reddish, Joe Schroeder, Brad Hemmer, Sawyer Erlwein, Tyler Bernitt, Scott Herbert and Scott Erdman presented flowers to their parents before the Bulldogs, 6-1 (3-0 Class C Division II), evinced a one-sided 43-7 win over the winless Pine Plains. The scoring began with a safety, as a punt attempt by the Bombers resulted in a high snap and the ball sailed into the end zone. The Dawgs added a six-yard TD run by Andrew Stabbert shortly thereafter. Michael Sedlack's PAT made it 9-0. A 71-yard ramble by Erlwein made it 15-0 as the first-half fireworks continued. Jared Meola ran it in from the two, just before the half, but the Dawgs weren't done. A 23-yard fourth down run by Erlwein and a two-point conversion pass to Meola made it 29-0 at the break.
At halftime, football alums from the years ending with three were honored, including grid icons dating as far back as 1953. Warriors from Delaware Valley, Jeff-Youngsville and the Sullivan West Class of 2003 were on hand to be lauded as Bill Moloney read off their years, positions and numbers. See "Home Is Where The Heart Is" on www.sportsinsightsny.com [1] for honoree names and details of the game.
In the third quarter, Meola carried it in from the 10 at 7:15 to make it 35-0. Sedlack's PAT made it 36-0. The Bulldogs' final points came on a one-yard TD run by Richard Shevak and another Sedlack PAT. Pine Plains scored in the game's waning minute on a one-yard plunge. The Bulldogs travel to Millbrook, which is also 3-0 in Division II to determine which of the two will be the number-one seed in the playoffs. The semifinals are on October 26. The top seed will play Division 1's number-two seeded team, which looks to be Liberty. In yet another under-the-lights spectacular, the Indians marshaled a late 20-yard TD pass from Quinn Jackson to Ryan Henry and a conversion run by Jackson to garner a 15-8 October 5 road win over Dover. Liberty improved to 5-2 (2-1 Class C Division I). Liberty plays Onteora this coming weekend and will clinch their berth with a victory. A Sullivan West loss to Millbrook would set up a heated rematch with the Indians, who are still smarting from last year's 21-20 OT win that barred Liberty from the postseason, as well as this year's 21-14 tornado-warning, monsoon-shortened affair earlier this season. If the Westies win, they'll play O'Neill and Liberty would play Millbrook.
In Tri-Valley's 56-0 Homecoming win over winless Livingston Manor that featured seniors Brendan Tierney, Aric Boyes, John Anzano, Shatik Smith, Cody Exner, Christian Klein, Kyle Burkey, Nick Hadden and Andrew Exner, the Bears delighted their fans who watched Tierney run for three TDs, Smith ramble 92 yards on a punt return and Exner score twice. The 4-3 Bears finish their season at Chester.

Paris Hilton & Five Other Celebs Who Were Caught Making Anti-Gay Comments
Paris Hilton got herself into a pickle this week by slamming gays who use the Grindr app, which allows people to "find local gay, bi and curious guys for dating or friends." A taxi cab driver recorded her saying about gay men, "They're disgusting. Dude, most of them probably have AIDS."
The socialite immediately released a statement, which reads in part: "I was having this private conversation with a friend of mine who is gay and our conversation was in no way towards the entire gay community. It is the last thing that I would ever want to do and I cannot put into words how much I wish I could take back every word."
But Paris isn't the only celebrity who has been called out for anti-gay comments. Take a look at five other stars who probably should have kept their feelings to themselves...

Conners' 18 Saves Pace Quinnipiac Past Air Force
from press release
HAMDEN, Conn. – The Quinnipiac University men's lacrosse team scored early and often on Saturday afternoon, as the Bobcats honored their senior class members in the best way possible with a 15-10 win over Air Force Academy on Senior Day at the QU Lacrosse Turf Field. Gill Conners (Saratoga Springs, N.Y.) had 18 saves in net, and Matt Diehl (Towson, Md.) led the attack with a season-high six points in the win.
Quinnipiac's senior goalkeeper was the story of the game, as Conners put together his best performance of the season. He stopped 18 of the 28 shots he faced, producing a .643 save percentage in his 12th career win. Conners registered five saves in the first quarter, two in the second, five in the third and a game-high six in the fourth. He upped his career total to 366 which stands just three saves out of fourth place all-time at Quinnipiac.
Quinnipiac coupled its stingy defense was a potent attack, spearheaded by Matt Diehl. He scored four goals and assisted on two others, marking season-highs in points, goals and matching a season-high in assists. Ryan Keenan (Oshawa, Ontario) registered his second straight hat trick with three goals and an assist, while five others totaled multipoint games.
Dylan Webster (Brampton, Ontario) finished with two goals, and Tom McNaney (Marcellus, N.Y.), Kevin Diehl (Towson, Md.), Michael Sagl (West Islip, N.Y.) and Carmen French (Baltimore, Md.) each had a goal and an assist. It was a career-high for Diehl while Sagl extended his point streak to 33 straight games.
Similar to last weekend against Siena, Quinnipiac jumped out to an early lead behind five first-quarter goals. Henry Graves(Stamford, Conn.), Matt Diehl, Matt Kycia (West Harford, Conn.), Webster, and Keenan all scored in the opening frame, as the Bobcats earned a 5-2 advantage after 15 minutes of play.
Matt Diehl tacked on one more early in the second quarter before Air Force grabbed some momentum after a goal from Austin Smith. The Falcons scored four unanswered to tie the game at six apiece with four minutes remaining in the first half. However, Quinnipiac would settle back down.
Matt Diehl and Sagl each scored before the halftime whistle, and Quinnipiac scored five of the game's next six goals in the third quarter. Matt Diehl, French, Keenan, Webster, and McNaney all scored in the frame, leaving a 13-7 advantage for the hosting Bobcats.
Quinnipiac turned to its defense, led by 2013 Northeast Conference Goalkeeper of the Year Gill Conners. Air Force used a quick burst to cut the deficit in half, but Conners disallowed the comeback with six saves in the fourth quarter. Keenan and Kevin Diehl capped off the scoring summary with back-to-back goals in the final minute of play.
It was a solid all-around game for the Bobcats, faring well in several statistical categories. Quinnipiac won the faceoff circle (16-13) and kept the turnover margin relatively close (-3). Freshman Zach Vehar (Hudson, Ohio) was the catalyst at the X, going 14-of-24 in the game. He upped his average to .535 for the season – serving as the 31st best percentage in the nation.
For Quinnipiac, the non-conference win was a tremendous boost and snapped a four-game skid. The field for the MAAC Tournament will be set after tonight's games. With eight possible outcomes on Saturday, there are eight different scenarios remaining. Five outcomes have Quinnipiac in the playoffs, whereas three others have the Bobcats on the outside looking in.
Eight Quinnipiac players suited up in white and gold for the last time on Mount Carmel Campus. Conners, Leo Horine (Dublin, Ohio),Tom Gilligan (Brookfield, Conn.), Brandon Kuring (New Milford, Conn.), Dylan Webster (Brampton, Ontario), Chris McMahon(Providence, R.I.), J.B. Marston (Duxbury, Mass.) and Henry Graves (Stamford, Conn.) were all honored before the game for the hard work and dedication to the program.
Air Force (8-5) had already clinched a spot in the ECAC Tournament. The Falcons were led by Kyle Cassady who had three goals and three assists. Goalkeepers Brett Dadiego and Doug Gouchoe combined to make 10 saves in the game.

I can't begin to tell you how thrilling this is for me. I love football. I love watching the two best teams in the country knock each other down for four grueling quarters, or, assuming those teams suffered fluke playoff losses, then I'm sort of OK with watching Baltimore play San Francisco instead. But what I'm most excited about are the commercial breaks. After all, the Super Bowl didn't become the most-watched television event of the year because people really like the game. No, the heartbeat of America isn't football; it's consumerism.
The game even starts with money.
And like Coca-Cola, Anheuser-Busch, Lexus, and Geico, I intend to make a little money this Sunday. I never bet on the game itself, but I will absolutely make prop bets on commercials, since the odds are always in my favor. See, I don't have DIRECT TiVo or On Demand, which means that throughout the rest of the year, I consume shows the old-fashioned way. While you were off enjoying recorded episodes of The Walking Dead or burning through five seasons of Breaking Bad all at once, I was sitting through T-Mobile and Tampax commercials, finding patterns, growing stronger. Now that everyone is forced to watch live network television again for one day out of the year, all the knowledge I've accrued is finally relevant. I have immediate home field advantage in every side bet because I know exactly what to expect from the Super Bowl ads long before they air, and now I want to pass that knowledge along to you. So go forth and take your friends' money.
4 Doritos Ads Will Feature a Child or a Pet Critically Injuring a Grown Man
Odds: 5:1
At some point, snack food companies realized that their core demographic was a group of young adult men who love being reminded that they're fragile idiots. Since then, almost every single one of their commercials has revolved around that premise. Point in case, every Doritos Super Bowl commercial for the past five years.
It may seem like a strange advertising tactic to relentlessly insult the only people who buy your product, but keep in mind that this is the same target audience willing to purchase shame-inspired "Late Night" Doritos in the flavors of tacos and cheeseburgers. Anyone who's willing to spend an all-nighter with dyed orange fingertips and meat-flavored MSG dust in his neck beard isn't exactly prioritizing self-esteem. Instead, these men are compelled to cram their faces full of more corn chips every time they see themselves outwitted and overpowered onscreen by lap dogs and babies. It is a relationship I will never understand.
The reason I'm giving 5:1 odds on this one is because in Doritos' tireless effort to emasculate their audience, they sometimes switch it up and let an old person do the job. In fact, one of the finalists this year for the Crash the Super Bowl ad campaign features a double dose of humiliation by showing a young man losing a battle over a bag of chips to a senior citizen who is also blind:
Take a minute to really soak up the implications of that commercial. That man is trying to steal an unpurchased bag of Doritos from a handicapped person while standing in the middle of a grocery store. That's a level of stupidity so profound that I'm shocked Doritos is still allowed to get away with it, but not so shocked that I'd put less than $10 on it happening at least twice in the first half of the game.
3 Car Commercials Will Haul an Aging Celebrity Back into the Limelight
Odds: 7:1
Car and truck companies have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to capitalizing on nostalgia. For an entire decade, their strategy was to force every human brain to associate at least one classic rock song with every type of vehicle. But around the Super Bowl, they switch up their game plan slightly and aim for old TV and movie stars instead. This Sunday, you will see at least one old celebrity that you assumed was bowing out of the public eye to finish his life in graceful silence tied to a winch of some modest-looking four-door and dragged back into relevance by a car company. Usually this means they have the awkward job of reminding us all who exactly we're looking at, and the solution seems to be shoehorning in a 30-year-old catchphrase that now fills the celebrity's mouth with more sadness and shame than a gun barrel.
Regardless of why these fading stars opt to do the commercials (although the answer is almost certainly huge piles of money), I'm pretty confident that a Tim Allen, or a James Spader, or a Balki from Perfect Strangers will make an appearance in a mid-size-sedan ad this year. And if it is Balki, you could probably double up your bet he'll squeeze in at least one "Don't be ridicolus" before wrapping his mouth around the exhaust pipe and breathing as deeply as possible.
Oh, speaking of barely consensual celebrity endorsements ...

Hello there, all! I can't believe the YSC project is almost over already. Time sure flies when you're having fun. Two days ago, NY1 came to my school to interview me. It was so unexpected, but a great experience. It was the first time I was ever on television. When I came to school the next day, one of my friends said they saw me on TV!
The worst part of this has got to be missing three days of school. I'll have to make up two exams and a lab, but I'll gladly skip those for YSC.
But, the best part heavily outweighs that. The experience has just been amazing.
And, my final video blog: Farewell

Biggest things tonight for me: Chandler's uneven performance; JR/Ray both having off-nights and no Sheed down the stretch
(1) I know Chandler had a good game offensively for a switch (and a lot of his FGs were off offensive put backs -- dude still have essentially ZERO offensive game to speak of), but Goddamn man, how many times do I gotta watch him BOTH (a) not challenge a shot at the rim and then (b) not go after the friggin' defensive rebound?? Dude just stands there, deer in headlights sometimes, on plays like that...Happened 5 times tonight at least...Not what you expect outta a defensive player of the year. Maybe I just expect too much outta this man --- I expect a guy that's just gonna play like an ANIMAL defensively and on the glass and he just doesn't play like that. He's a guy that brings it in sputs and unfortunately for us, he takes way too many plays off. Just gimme one or the other -- commit to blocking a shot (this guy's really not a good shot-blocker anyway) or go get that defensive rebound. Way too many times he gives neither on a particular play underneath. Unacceptable...And while we're on Chandler and rebounding -- ENOUGH with the ****ing backtaps -- GO GET THE REBOUND YOURSELF DAMMIT!!! I can't stand it. Complained about him doing it last year all the time. It's just lazy...Gimme the best rebounders you can think of -- Charles Oakley, Barkley, Rodman, Hakeem, even a guy like Reggie Evans -- did you ever see these guys constantly flailing away trying to backtap the ball to whoever all the time? Nope...Those guys were securing all those rebounds themselves...Sorry to rip this guy, he played well tonight, pluses even outweighed the negatives, but I just can't get past his deficiencies. Dude only had 3 defensive rebs. in over 45 mins! WHAT?!? Carmelo Anthony is a better rebounder than Tyson Chandler. I don't even think that's up for debate..
(2) Just one of those off nights for Smith I guess. Goddamn man -- he even shows up and has a passable game and we win this in regulation, probably by 7, 8 pts. or better. Gotta give Bogans and even Joe Johnson credit here. Bogans was good defensively all night (esp. on Melo) and even though Johnson didn't shoot well he didn't let it affect him on the other end -- he still played good D. With all his athleticism and talent, I just don't understand why JR doesn't take the ball to the basket more. Like Ray, Swish was totally out of sync tonight..Ray just didn't play with confidence tonight which surprised me because he generally gets up for the better PGs in the NBA, esp. Paul and D-Will. We would've been able to survive with either Ray or JR having an off night, one or the other, not both. Ray was caught in between all night -- trying to facilitate and also be a scorer. He was really out of sync with Chandler 90% of the night.
(3) I dunno man -- I think Chandler needed all the help he could've gotten down low tonight. KT played OK to open it, then never got back in...Camby looks like he's done -- either it's a conditioning issue with this guy and he'll round back into form or he's done. Have trouble believing that -- he averaged like 9 rebs and a blk and a half a game last yr in limited duty. Those are still above average #s -- impact #s -- but the way he's playing, esp. tonight, I just don't see a guy that can help us. This is undoubtedly what Woody sees too, hence the string of DNPs recently....Sheed played well tonight I thought -- he hit a couple of 3s, got his shots off at will (from deep & in the post), and he made a difference defensively and on the glass...I thought it was a mistake to go away from him and bury him toward the end of regulation and for the whole OT. Just my 2 cents. When we went up by 5 or 6 for our biggest lead at one point in the 2nd half, Sheed was a big reason why..The lineup we should've milked, esp. at the end, should've been Tyson 5, Sheed 4 and Melo back at the 3. I would've played Sheed over Novak at the end myself.

Why doesnt Melo shoot the last shot with 3 or 2 seconds left? Why does he even give them a chance?
Why not start Sheed over Kurt Thomas even though he had a nice block.
Where were these guys later in the game?
We missed kid tonight.
I really cant wait till Amare comes back!!!
why did'nt mello,pass the ball to a wide open novak at the end of the game.Game would have been over
I'm tired of seeing the Knicks switch so much on D.
I mean, I remember in the Detroit game - you could literally hear Bynum saying "with ya slow ass" to Sheed after he switched on him and let Bynum get right to the cup, and fouled him.
Even tho it might not have directly led to the loss tonight...I'm still tired of seeing it so much. I saw enough switching with MDA, but I remember reading an article a while back where a player said that Woodson's defense was predictable because "they switch everything."
Do what Tom Thibs does and load the strong side. Just bring an extra defender to the ball side, force dribblers to the baseline, and invite cross court passes giving your D a chance to adjust, or even forcing a turnover.
A combo of that, plus the occasional straight up man to man, and even...dare I say it...switch the PnR when it's beneficial, and we're good.
But I seriously can't take watching Tyson or Sheed on a quick PG anymore. It's not 1975, these PGs are ****ing quick and fast, there is no benefit to putting your big on a CP3, Deron, Rose, Westbrook, Rondo, Thomas, Lawson, Goran the god damn "Dragon" Dragic, etc.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
this is why people are crazy saying we don't need Amare. The last few games showed that. There's no reliable second option behind Melo. Just a bunch of streak shooters.
I will admit .. it was nice to watch the Lopez vs Tyson 2nd half offense show ....
Our to many ISO-plays in our past 6 games got us playing lame .. no one screening for our shooter Novak .. We have to go back to Jason Kidd's system of looking for the open moving-man .. JR and JJ shootin was off tonite, that didnt stop JJ from feeding Lopez, Stackhouse, Wallace, and Deron for baskets .. JR took the night off after his best performance vs Pistons ....
The piece in the first half showing Felton complaining to Melo about no one is moving fast for his passes so he is force to shoot, was Felton way of telling Melo he was taking the greenlight vs Deron Williams in the 2nd half. LOL
The LA Clippers was nuts not to resign Reggie Evans after his strong postseason performance .. the Nets sign Reggie Evans for $5.5M for three years .. did someone say cheap winning backup.
a shi*tty night for Feltip, def his worst game, but no need for KO members to lambast his entire season. so he went 3-19, 16 missed shots. Melo went 11-25, 14 missed shots. what i don't understand is Steve Novak getting so many damn minutes (18) with 2 points, and doing absolutely nothing else to warrant his being in the game. where is Camby...5 minutes?
when Melo and Chandler score 63 out of 89 points, there is a problem. as mentioned previously, ball movement has disappeared, esp the way the rock moved at beginning of year. the only 2 clutch players all night for NYK.
look at the effort put in by Deron- 14 assists, by Reg Evans- 14 bounds, and the overall group effort by the Nyets... Stackhouse, Bogans, Walrus, Lopez, all clutch when it counted.
idk, just a weird off-game, and poor substitutions by Wood Son. but hey, Knicks came close to winning in the first place, and if they did, there wouldn't be so many negative nancys boo-hoo-hoo-ing on here.
we'll come back strong.
Felton played like Jeremy Lin tonight. ****ing terrible. i threw up in my mouth and swallowed it back down when I saw that floater airball. we need a legit pg like Kidd. anybody playing with Kidd instantly becomes 10x better. look what he did to Kenyon Martin.
I think we should just make kidd the starting PG. When we play big our defense is 100 times better. If we had kidd playing tonight we definitely would have won

About the Author: Salmah Y. Rizvi serves as the Truman Fellow in the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism (S/CT).
During a typical work day, the Operations Directorate (Ops) of the Office of the Coordinator for Counterterrorism is involved in the interagency coordination of international counterterrorism crises, including terrorist hostage crises. During his stint as former Director of the Hostage Working Group in Baghdad, S/CT Ops employee Erik Rye found himself in some unlikely situations. After having been rescued by U.S. forces, one hostage returned to his home, not to be welcomed with hugs, kisses, and relief, but skepticism and doubt about his story. Having not seen their husband and father for seven months, the hostage's wife and family didn't believe his sensational story of being an al-Qaida captive. The family soon took a trip to the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad to visit Rye. During the conversation with the Iraqi family, Rye reassured them that the hostage had indeed been rescued by the U.S. government. Rye knew his job would present challenges, but he never would have imagined himself assuming the role of marriage counselor!
Rye spent over 13 months in Baghdad managing hostage situations, and several other members of S/CT Ops staff have also done rotations there -- and elsewhere in the world. Over 450 foreigners have been kidnapped in Iraq since 2004, with over 60 nationalities represented. "We had a new case everyday in Iraq and at any given time I was working on at least a dozen cases. To resolve cases, we would do everything from coordinating with military and intelligence entities to just taking a report from an Iraqi civilian," Rye explained.
Because the United States does not make concessions to terrorist demands, these and other techniques are used to alleviate hostage situations. The most daunting cases are those in which there are not adequate leads. We do what we can to provide the families with information without compromising sensitive information that could allow us to solve the case. Nevertheless, we understand that it is difficult for family members, because they have limited visibility of the case (since most of the information we collect is classified).
The overall approach to hostage crisis management involves recovering the victims, bringing the criminals to justice, and using lessons learned to prevent future hostage situations: Recovery, Justice, Prevention. This method, coupled with the policy of no concessions to terrorist demands, has ultimately increased the security of American civilians overseas, making them less vulnerable to hostage crises. International cooperation with governments and local law enforcement has also proven beneficial. The recent Colombian hostage release is an example. There were hundreds around the world who touched this case. As explained by Rye, "It was a five-year-old case, and that is huge."Plan Colombia is a wonderful success story as it highlights the return of hostages, the justice brought to insurgents and numerous lessons learned to help U.S. government officials in future occurrences.

If you believe we should accommodate that as an actual non-provisional and pre arranged situation, we would all be sheep. I am afraid that was simply good acting, no more, no less. I only wonder what the FARC got in return; this was purely too eliminate Chavez from getting any credit. All politics? Someone had to get something in return. They aren't that stupid. They weren't that that ignorant back in the 70s, why would they be now after 30+ years of formalizing? Not buying that one, sorry. It would be a fluke at best, not a formal operation....
There have been many hostile EVACS of American and others worldwide by Private firms. It is sad money is an issue and not politics sometimes...
USED to be, mess with any US citizen and it was Old Testament time -- and what is wrong with that concept in reality. Why complicate it? No one outside the circle was harmed, there were limitations and we forcefully followed that up, until Kennedy then Carter. Not politics, just keeping it level -- and why not? The United States has every right to protect its citizens ANYWHERE in this world by any means...and use of all means.

Everything is politics presently there...the FARC is being squeezed and the internal organization is re aligning:
What we got other than the personal: The Justice Department said Monday that Mr. Sombra is the highest-ranking FARC member ever captured. He remained jailed in Colombia, though U.S. authorities are expected to seek extradition.
He would be the second high-ranking FARC member to face trial in the U.S. on charges stemming from the kidnappings of Mr. Gonsalves, Mr. Stansell and Mr. Howes.
Either he will stay in Columbia as part of the deal, or he will be extradited, which would mean there is a new leadership within the FARC who is making deals with external Political Leaders...to keep the drugs flowing...

I encourage everyone to read "The Fourth World War: Diplomacy and Espionage In the Age of Terrorism"
By Count de Marenches and David Andelman
The Count was the head of the French external intelligence agency and a veteran of WWII. Even though the book was published in 92 and Marenches died in the next 3 years, you would be shocked at the accuracy of his predictions, now 15 years later. He foretold 9/11 as well as a number of other world events. (He also knew before most that the Soviets would invade Afghanistan).
More importantly, he discusses the changing world alliances with the rise of Islamic extremism, the nature of terrorists and drug cartels. He also outlines some of the weaknesses in the CIA and some national character faults that our rivals use against us.
The Count himself was of those rare characters that combined cunning & ruthlessness with honesty & integrity.

Forget history and you live to regret it. But here I must quote George Santayana. Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on reflectiveness ... Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to fulfil it.
Today as we, not in America mind you but the world outside of its sphere realize that we have been used as puppets and that a lot of us were entrance by the celluloid rolls of Hollywood that made Americans heroes. It might have for years made us look at the U.S. in awe, but when the reality set in we knew that we had been conned.
Look at what the FARC freedom fighters were really struggling for and it becomes all too clear that it was for freedom. Everytime a group fights America's Cooperations they are accused of being Leftists or Communists. That by the way also fits your own Patriots like George Washington et al.
Just this week America's past came to haunt it. The U.S. involvement in Serbia's internal affairs, the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq, are all illegal actions carried out by a pseudo democracy called the USA. Note, the Russian response to the Georgian invasion of the Republic of South Ossetia was also justifiable, if we consider the U.S. actions in Afghanistan, the false claim being that Afghanistan had given refuge to Osama bin Laden and the U.S. response was invasion. Iraq was something totally different. The U.S. and its Oil Companies wanted to get its hands on Iraqi OIL and any excuse was good enough to invade that country.
The Government of the U.S. must now realize that the past is long gone, that Latin America cannot be invaded and occupied by the U.S. Countries around the world are just about fed up with U.S. interference into their internal affairs and want an end to it.
My advice to incoming administration next year, is hands off the internal problems of sovereign nations, let them make their own decisions, that's their rights. Take care of the problems of your own country, and let other take care of their own.
As a Super Power the U.S. is now on its way out, and nothing can change that. Learn to be as any other nation in our universe and there will be peace and harmony in the world.
Kirk in Kentucky writes:
@ Kenneth in Canada
That is a well written post with some great points, though I might add that the tone had a touch of the indignant idealist, but certainly worth responding to. I will reply to your points in the order they were posted.
Americans are the Heroes. That's what being at the top does, it makes you the favorite son of the globe. People look to the strongest with stars in their eyes and admire the power, honor, and courage -- and swallow all the shiny veneer in one gulp. Nobody was conned, they fooled themselves. When a new super-power takes the stage, the love affair with the world is intense, but once that super-power has to engage in the sort of actions required to secure it's position, the honey-moon is over. With the rising eminence of other nations, the US may have to share the stage once again, but as long as we keep a long term strategy in mind and stick by our principals, we will remain the preferred alternative.
The FARC may have once had a grand ideal in mind with freedom for the people, but the actions they took to reach that goal quickly negated their legitimacy. How can some one claim the noble desire to bring freedom to the people while simultaneously inhibiting other's freedom by kidnapping them and terrorizing innocent civilians? When they used others as pawns for extortion, they showed their true colors as nothing more than another group of political militants vying for power. Most rebel groups like the FARC are just tools themselves, pawns, for other nations. If they truly have good intentions for the people in their hearts, they would lay down their violent methods and turn their efforts to humanitarian work. Gandhi brought the entire British Empire to its knees with that method.
The U.S. involvement in other nations is the natural result of the dynamics of power. Having an abundance of power requires an nation to discharge that power in an effort to expand it's influence. As sure as the dog barks and the bird sings, it can do no other. That characteristic is the same no matter what country is examined. If it were not U.S. involvement, it would be another, probably a rival, and the country at the top has to maintain the initiative. Furthermore, while, in my opinion, the U.S. lacks the nuance, grace, and style, of more mature states in their diplomatic efforts, it always uses the two prong approach of coercion and reward on it's prospective partners. But at least there is always something to be gained by partnership, rather than something to be lost by threat. Those nations have a choice in accepting or denying those proposals. If a nation truly detests U.S. involvement, they can organize the people and reject those offers. If the whole majority of the population rejects U.S. involvement but the leaders accept, then the fault lies with the people for not overthrowing a government that doesn't represent their will.
Your advice is well noted, and is harmonious with many voices in the U.S. But, if by not participating in other nations, whether by covert manipulation or honest dealings, results in losing a major advantage, you can bet that advice will go unheeded. Unfortunately, it is the nature of the beast- my only hope is that those future actions are honorable rather than nefarious.
On your last point, I must respectfully disagree. Nations don't just blink out of existence. North America, and by that I mean Mexico and Canada, (because we're all in the same boat, like it or not), will remain a powerful influence on the world stage. Not only is our military hardened by conflict, but it retains a technological advantage. Though our dollar is weak, our economy is sound. Most importantly, we share a strong alliance with a very powerful Western Europe who shares our values. Power waxes and wanes, and sometimes you have to accept, preferably with grace, inevitable set backs (like Russia having to release it's grip on the outer countries, causing the collapse of the U.S.S.R. still they remain) but likelihood of our level of concentrated power evaporating overnight -- is nil.

Lawmakers, advocates introduce stun gun bill
MONTPELIER — A group of Vermont lawmakers and the heads of disability and civil rights groups are pushing legislation that would create new rules governing police use of electronic stun guns.
They held a news conference on Tuesday to unveil a bill that would set up statewide training and rules for law enforcement officers using Tasers and similar devices.
The effort follows the death last year of Macadam Mason, a Thetford man who died of a heart attack after a state trooper hit him with a Taser.
Attorney General William Sorrell and the Orange County state's attorney announced last month that Senior Trooper
David Shaffer was justified using the stun gun on Mason last June because the distraught man failed to comply with orders and made threatening movements toward the trooper.MORE IN This Just InWASHINGTON The House on Thursday cleared bills to keep the government running through April and...

Mario Batali cooked something on The Chew yesterday which was French Toast with maple syrup and country sausage gravy and meatballs in tomato sauce

Cinnamon Roll French Toast, by Mariah Milano. Just cut down on the sugar at the end. Broad uses a full bottle of maple syrup, the frosting from the cinnamon rolls, then powdered sugar.

French toast with maple syrup and sausage gravy is fine; so is meatballs in tomato sauce…but please God, NOT together! I like Mario overall, but he must have been blind shitfaced drunk to come up w/that combo–it really does sound like something a drunk screwing around in the kitchen would think sounded tasty.ReplyCancel

We make resolutions because we want to bring change to bear on our circumstances. We want to improve ourselves and our quality of life. And the top resolutions, for most people, tend to revolve around the same three poles: money, health and family.
But what would a set of New Year's resolutions look like for you and your church, your role as a leader, or simply as someone who wants to live a life of strategic Kingdom investment? Though many more could be added, here are 10 to consider:
1. Pray more: So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD … 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty" (Zechariah 4:6, NIV).
2. Invest in my spiritual gift(s): "Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress" (I Timothy 4:14-15, NIV).
3. Get more intentional about evangelism. "I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some" (I Corinthians 9:22, NIV).
4. Care for myself spiritually. "Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me" (Philippians 3:12, NIV).
5. Confront debilitating patterns of sin. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us" (Hebrews 12:1, NIV).
6. Do the hard work needed to build community. "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over" (Matthew 18:15, NIV).
7. Keep in touch with contemporary culture. "From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders. … All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take" (I Chronicles 12:32, NLT).
8. Prioritize my family. "A leader must be well-thought-of, committed to his wife, … attentive to his own children and having their respect. For if someone is unable to handle his own affairs, how can he take care of God's church?" (I Timothy 3:2-5, Msg)
9. Be more open to change. "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:19, NIV)
10. Stay focused on the vision. "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved" (Acts 2:42-47, NIV).

Randomness in Padre-Land
Yesterday was an off-day for the Padres, so there wasn't much coming out of Padre-land. It was really nice to have an off-day. I didn't really notice that there wasn't a game, but I'm ready for one now. I think it was great for the whole team and the fans to get a little break.
There are probably going to be some moves before the game tonight. Cliff Floyd, the guy we signed for the bench in the off-season, will hopefully be finally joining the team today. He got hurt in Spring Training and has been working back ever since. Hopefully he will be able to stay healthy, and he will be a huge addition to the bench as a pinch-hitter. Also, we will have him back just in time for interleague, and he will be a solid DH, something we haven't had in a long time. I know he will be a great influence in the clubhouse as well.
Of course, when a player joins the club, someone has to go down. It looks like Drew Macias is going to be the odd man out…again. He's pretty much the only one with options. I feel bad for Drew, but I think he's going to be in Portland soon.
Yesterday I found out that Heath Bell is going to do an online chat with the fans next Wednesday. So, if any of you have any questions for the major-league saves leader, I would love to submit them for you. Knowing Heath, it's going to be a fun and funny chat.
So…Padres/Rockies tonight. Josh Geer will be pitching against Jason Marquis. It will be a very interesting series. The Padres are coming off four straight series wins, and the Rockies just got swept by the Dodgers, who are becoming increasingly annoying. They won again yesterday, pushing us to nine games behind. Why can't the Dodgers start losing already??
We all know what happens when the Rockies and the Padres get together to play, especially at Coors. Strange things happen, and when you throw these in the mix
weird strange creepy frustrating plain weird things happen. It's scary.
So hopefully the Padres will not wear the sand and will leave Colorado with another series under their belt and not too much creepy stuff having happened.

I want to take that uniform, throw it on the ground, and burn it! So that way I can come up with a new road uniform🙂 I can't participate in the live chat, again. I'll be at school on that time so have fun chatting with Heath! Drew Macias is going down to Portland soon. I just know it.
That is one of my most hated uniforms. No one looks good completely covered in that color. 🙂
Here's hoping they don't wear that uniform! It seems to be unanimous that people don't like it.
Kaybee, we know how you just *love* those sand-colored uniforms! For your sake, I hope they wear something else. BTW, if any player's body was actually shaped like the pants in that picture, they'd probably be playing beer-league softball!
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
I predict that the hot Padres will sweep the Rockies. I think the Padres camoflauge uniforms are interesting. Aren't those uniforms worn to honor the armed forces??
I think that Cat is right and that the camo uniforms are to honor the military base in San Diego.

The resignation was delivered by hand to Rosales at 1:45 p.m. on Friday, March 14.
Shaw was defeated in the March 4 Democratic primary election by challenger Walter Long, Jr. who received 1,290 votes while Shaw received 641.
Shaw did not attend the meeting of Commissioners Court on Tuesday, March 11. When asked about her absence by someone in the audience at the meeting, Rosales said that he did not know why she was absent.
The Karnes Countywide reached out to Barbara Shaw Friday morning and during a brief phone interview asked her if she had resigned or planned to resign.
"Why don't we answer those questions when it actually happens," Shaw said.
According to Rosales, the resignation will not become effective until approved by Commissioners Court. A meeting of Commissioners Court is planned for Friday, March 21 at 9 a.m. at which time the court will consider taking action to accept Shaw's resignation.
Details concerning the rest of the agenda and what possible action the court may take to appoint an interim county judge are still being worked out by county officials, Rosales explained.
The written resignation letter, Rosales explained, will not be made public by county officials until the item is brought up for consideration during a meeting of Commissioners Court. Rosales said he plans to read the letter aloud at that time.
County Attorney Herb Hancock confirmed that administrative assistant Sylvia Cortez also resigned as did Emergency Management Coordinator David Jalufka.
Hancock said an agenda for Friday's meeting was expected to be posted Tuesday morning.
Under the law, Hancock explained, Commissioners Court can choose to appoint one of the commissioners as interim county judge, or they can appoint another individual to fill the vacancy until the newly elected county judge is sworn into office on Jan. 1, 2015.
Shaw emailed her resignation letter to The Karnes Countywide Sunday. (See attached for full resignation letter.)
"The increasing animosity between myself and the alleged 'Karnes County Patriots' has led to an increasingly hostile work environment for both myself and my admin assistant, Sylvia Cortez," Shaw said in the letter.
The letter went on to list a number of elected officials and county employees Shaw claims were part of a group that participated in blogging and emails that Shaw described as "psychologically disturbing, childish and bizarre."
The emails, which Shaw said were obtained through open records requests, contained "pure filth and garbage," according to Shaw.
"This being said, I sincerely wish the county nothing but the best," Shaw said in the letter. "I hope SB 1747 moves forward successfully. I'm positive H-E-B will be a huge success. Furthermore I hope the bond monies fulfill the jail, roads, and courthouse restoration."
"Karnes County has been my home my whole life and I have a strong love for Karnes County," Shaw said in the letter. "The right thing is not always the popular thing... Incidentally, I believe that each person should be accountable and responsible for their actions and what they do, please know that if I said or did something I meant it and I continue to stand behind it. No regrets and no looking backward."

A question…and some photos!
This season at Shea, amongst my giveaway loot, I received a free Nathan's Mets visor, which is cute as a button. PLUS, I love to promote Nathan's, since my mom grew up in Brighton Beach, so Nathan's is a part of my family history.
But here's the thing. I've tried all sorts of ways of making the Mets/Nathan's visor look good on me. It just doesn't.
The only way I can look cute in my snappy visor is to wear high pigtails, jutting out of the top of my head. I will be the first to tell you that I am too old to have pigtails jutting out of my head. I'm barely getting away with low pigtails as it is.
My next game at Shea is Friday night. What do we think: Can I get away with high pigtails? Not your usual expertise, perhaps, but every opinion counts. Be honest!
And as long as we're on an off day with no game to talk about tonight, I thought I'd post these fun pictures from my book party, held back in mid-june at downtown NYC hot spot, People Lounge. (I'm the one with the long curly hair!) The event was covered by popular media outlet, My Camera, also responsible for bringing you much Mets coverage in the past!
5 Comments
Let's see I guess no pigtails .. I have issues with those and even worse if they are high LOL… how about down low cute braids?
Nice pics by the way🙂
When was the book published?
Desire, the book was published on June 6th. So far we've gone back for a second printing, but let's keep our fingers crossed for continued sales!
I'll see what braids look like. I gotta figure something out for this visor!
Cool deal girl! && Crossing fingers for you &&
I read some reviews and people love it😉
Now I'm curious …
BTW, Put up a pic of the visor
LOL, I am praying that Pelfrey does good today, I hope he isnt nervous like he was his last start. I do wish that he can provide the stability the mets need towards the end of the rotation.
Hmmm.. I'm a buzzcut guy, so I wouldn't listen to my advice on pig tails! But what about that Pelfrey hanging tough last night! I loved it when he blew away Dunn w/ two on in the fifth. Beltran is really having an awesome year too.

Trove – NLA – a treasure trove of information
In researching my ancestors I have found the Trove website to be defintely worth a look as you never know what you may find.
Today I was doing a search and found some interesting information on my Great Great Grandfather, Joseph Dilworth. He arrived in NSW on board the ship, Wilson, with his first Wife Eliza and young son Josias, in 1842. They had a further 5 children before Eliza died in December 1856. Joseph remarried again to Mary Quirk (my GG Grandmother) in March 1857 (less than 3 months after Eliza having died).
In January 1857 the following article appears:
The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842-1954), Monday 12 January 1857, page 7
Two Brick Cottages and Slab Cottage, Stable, and Two Allotments of Land.
Mr. W. NEWELL has received instructions from Mr. Joseph Dilworth to sell on the above day, for cash, '
Two brick cottages, one 4 rooms, and tone 3 rooms, and 2 rooms in slab cottage, standing on a block of land 52 feet frontage by a depth of 80 feet, with a well of pure water, and well enclosed in, would bring in a rental of-60 per annum.
Also, at 12 o'clock,
All his household furniture and stock of groceries two carts, a first rate draught mare, harness, kitchen utensils, lot of pig", and poultry.
Mr. W. N. would call the attention of intending/ buyers to this sale, as it will be a bona fide sale to the highest bidder for cash
Again in August & September of 1857, the following notice appears in the Sydney Morning Herald three times.
Brick House of Four Rooms, and an Allotment of Land, on the Kingston Estate, Newtown.
MR. W. NEWELL has received instructions from Mr. Joseph Dilworth, to sell by public auction, on the Ground, Australia-street, Kingston, on MONDAY next, the 7th day of September, at 11 o'clock. A good substantial brick house, consisting of large shop, 14 by 12 ; sitting-room, 12 by 10; bedroom. 12 by 10; kitchen, 14by 12; with verandah. On stone foundation ; on an allotment of land having 38 feet frontage by a depth of 83 feet; on which is erected a good stable, out-house, and a first-rate well of pure water. All enclosed in and paled, and being near to the Kingston Lodge Hotel. .
Mr. W. N. would call the attention of every class buyers to this snug property, as it one of the best stands on the Kingston for any line of business, and well finished throughout.
At 12 o'olock, all the furniture and effect Title, first-rate. ,
I note the following information in relation to Kingston Lodge Hotel.
The Hotel was established in 1859 as the Kingston Lodge Hotel and was renamed the Court House Hotel in 1884
(and still stands on the corner of Australia & Lennox Streets Newtown).
What I'd like to do is search to see if the house that Joseph sold in 1857 also still stands today.
Will keep you posted.

I have Margaret Catherine Dilworth married to Francis Maguire. She is the dau of Joseph & Mary Quirk. Mary is the Daughter of Catherine Slattery. I am not sure of a connection??
Sorry made a mistake Joseph is the son of John & Ruth King??
At the marriage of Francis McGuire & Margaret Dilworth (1888) the witness were Dominic & Flora? Dilworth of Boggabri can;t find a Dominic Dilworth anywhere in NSW
