Fall, Football, and FUN!
With first sight of snow on the mountains, and even more so when it falls down here in the Valley always seem to make us want to fast forward to Winter! September 26th brought the first dustings of snow here in Jackson, followed quickly by October 3rd when woke up to 4 inches covering our town and even more accumulated in the mountains. Our minds immediately race to images of fresh powder as we ride through the endless pillows at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Snow King Mountain Resort, and Grand Targhee Resort. Before we completely fast forward through Fall, let us not forget one of the most entertaining parts of this season- FOOTBALL!
We all have our teams- some favor college game day, others have birth to death alliances to their pro teams. Personally, I have been raised and will die a University of Washington Husky and Seattle Seahawk. I bleed purple and gold on Saturdays, and lose my voice along with the other 12th men at the loudest stadium in the World on Sundays, Kaa-KAW! No matter your allegiance, football is a highlight of the Fall, something to chat about with the person in front of you in line or the co-worker sharing the break room with you at lunch.
Away from home you may miss the fun of the pregame tailgate, and the electricity of the stadium, plus with all the networks- SEC, NFL, PAC 12, etc. it can be a little bit harder to catch your teams big game. Hayden's Post has got you covered! All day Saturday we will be watching the college games, Sunday, Monday and Thursday nights we dedicate to pro football, with the games streaming on multiple televisions, a subscription to NFL Network, and happy hour specials running from the first kickoff to the final seconds of the last game.
Even if football's not the crowd pleaser for you, stop in and indulge in the happy hour specials, and stay for a meal at Hayden's Post, you won't be disappointed. With house cured bacon on our BLT and Blue Salad, the Post Burger with Sweet Potato Fries, Chef Scott Blackerby's signature Stout-Braised Bison Brisket and John-Mark's signature cocktails, we are sure to have anything you need to leave you satiated after a crisp Fall day in Jackson Hole. While you enjoy your meal- plan your day, or even week's activities with the help of our Event Calendar. Technically we are enjoying a mellower season here in Jackson, but there is still plenty to keep you busy.
Stay tuned for our upcoming news on the winter season, I will leave you with the 2013-2014 forecast from the Farmer's Almanac:
"Winter will be much snowier than normal.... The snowiest periods will be in late November, early and mid-December, mid- and late January, mid-February, and early March." Get ready for another epic Jackson Hole Winter!

They formed in May 2007 on Craigslist and played the coveted pizza joint circuit, the most notable of which was the city-famous Piece Pizza in Wicker Park. Since then, they have expanded east to NYC and west to San Francisco. They have two main dishes on their menu: the first is a succulent "All-Request Show", with a generous helping of audience participation, flavored slightly by improvisation. The second is the hailed "Stop Making Sense Re-Creation", where they perform note-for-note and prop-for-prop the famous Talking Heads concert film from 1984. In 2011, they performed this show to a sold-out crowd at the Vic Theatre in Chicago. This Must be the Band is extremely happy to play Talking Heads music night after night because the music is just that much fun. Not only has the lead singer (Charlie Otto) been called "the illegitimate son of David Byrne", but the band boasts its very own Tina Weymouth (Jamie Jay), Bernie Worrell (Matt Gunsaulus), Adrian Belew (Otto), and Ednah Holt (Kasey Foster). At the Center for the Arts.

March 31
9:30 pm Deer Tick. From the band that's been both accurately and inaccurately labeled just about everything this side of Top 40 comes a true-to-form rock-n-roll record. Scratch that, true-to-form is not Deer Tick's style. Let's start over. Naturally, after so many years of critics praising [and making fun of] them for their "folk" and "country" sounds and hardly ever mentioning the fact that they've also recorded virtually dozens of other kinds of music, the band wanted to make a record that was truer to their live set (which has gained some notoriety): raw, loud, heartfelt, and completely uninterested in whatever the hell the rest of the music industry is up to. To produce this record, the band recruited the team of Adam Landry and Justin Collins, who produced McCauley's side-project Middle Brother's debut album. The results are unlike anything you've heard on a Deer Tick album, but Deer Tick achieves something that is a lot more accurate to their live sound. At the Pink Garter.
April 5
9:00pm Minus the Bear. 2012, Summer. Seattle, Washington, something mucho significant was built by 5 dudes touch. It is called Infinity Overhead. When the air filled with this piece, heat, light, noise and color to be transformed into stream and traveled through the air with the time shift. Pull and push, depth versus altitude. This romance is like having a high tech air-in choccolata from east village. Once you put the cioccolato inside the mousse, something seeps out all around and it smoothly embraces everything they meet. During this process, all the elements start to kick in, sweetness, bitterness, sourness, and saltiness. Flavor dominates all over the mousse. It clings around and soaks in quietly, then fragrance starts to evaporate through tiny sky inside the dark, merge back into the air. Signals flow to the brain and it delivers the joy to the body through the tide. All commotion appears on the movement makes the body sweats and shivers. After a while all these processes change its shapes and fall. At the Pink Garter Theater.
April 6
9:00pm Toubab Krewe. Some music cannot be found on a map or within iTunes categories. Some music is so original it seems snatched from the great, invisible substrata that runs below all human activity, a sound aching to be born without a flag or fixed allegiance free, questing, overflowing with immediate, tangible life. This is the music of Toubab Krewe, the vibrant Asheville, NC-based instrumental powerhouse that creates a sonic Pangaea that lustily swirls together rock, African traditions, jam sensibilities, international folk strains and more. While nearly impossible to put into any box, it takes only a few moments to realize in a very palpable way that one is face-to-face with a true original who recognizes no borders in a march towards a muscular, original, globally switched-on sound. At the Pink Garter Theater.
April 15
8:00pm. The Revival Tour. Folk music was born from a rich tradition of giving and openness and no one has done more to bring that original spirit back to the genre in recent years than Chuck Ragan has with The Revival Tour. "It's an age-old idea and the way that families and communities have shared music for hundreds of years," Ragan explains when asked where the inspiration for the Revival Tour came from. "At the end of most tours I went on, everyone would end up on stage together anyway so I thought why not communicate more beforehand so we can share the old way collaboration onstage from the onset as the folks that came before us all did in the past?'" At the Pink Garter.

In late September 1934, Hank Greenberg, the great Detroit Tigers slugger, chose not to play a crucial game against the Yankees so that he could observe Yom Kippur. A hero to Detroit's Jewish community in only his second season, Greenberg's appearance at Shaarey Zedek synagogue moved the congregants to burst into applause as four rabbis prayed. "Here was this Jewish fella, walking into the synagogue," Bert Gordon, a fan, recalls in"The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg," a new documentary by Aviva Kempner. "Six feet four!My God, nobody had never seen a Jew that big. Everybody was 5 foot 5, 5 foot 6!"The Tigers lost the game, 5-2, yet won the American League pennant. But Greenberg's decision to honor his heritage galvanized his bond with Jews. "The Jewish people,"Bud Shaver wrote in The Detroit Times, "could have no finer representative."
Aviva Kempner and her brother, Jonathan, knew of Greenberg from their father, Harold,who left Lithuania for Pittsburgh in 1925 and settled in Detroit. To Harold Kempner, baseball was a ritual of American assimilation and Greenberg a symbol. As SenatorCarl Levin, Democrat of Michigan, puts it in the film, Greenberg "validated that thiswas the land of opportunity: look, we could even play baseball!" So each year, Harold Kempner reminded his children that Greenberg sat on Yom Kippur. "I thought Hank Greenberg was part of the Kol Nidre liturgy," Ms. Kempner, now 53, said in a recent interview.
Harold Kempner died in 1976 and Greenberg died 10 years later, one day before Ms. Kempner attended the Los Angeles opening of her first film, "The Partisans of Vilna,"a documentary about Jewish resistance to the Nazis in that cultured Lithuanian city."As soon as I heard that Hank had died, I knew he would be my next film," she said.
To Ms. Kempner, documenting the life of a Jewish ballplayer is only a small leap from chronicling Jewish partisans in the ghetto. "With 'Partisans,' I tried to figure out the unanswered question, "Why didn't Jews resist?" which was totally incorrect," she said."It should have been, "How could they resist?" It was so difficult. They were so isolated.With Hank Greenberg, I wanted to counter the screen stereotype that Jewish men were nebbishes.There was another image, and for my ethnic background it was Hank."
Despite acclaim for "Vilna," raising $1 million was not easy when her subject was a dead ballplayer who did not marry a movie star, endorse products or make staged stadium appearances, like Joe DiMaggio. There would be no grants like the $400,000 provided by the National Endowment for the Humanities for "Vilna." Several times she shut down filming to rustle up money from a a variety of sources, including regional and localarts groups, Jewish organizations, individuals like Kirk Douglas and Norman Lear, the Greenberg family, and the Shaarey Zedek synagogue.
"In the beginning, we weren't even sure it would be completed," said Alva Greenberg,Hank's daughter. "We'd see 10-minute segments, but we didn't know what it would add up to be." But after 13 years -- as long as Greenberg's baseball career -- "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg"will open on Wednesday at Film Forum in Manhattan for a two-week run.
Spending so much time on a single project requires tenacity, even a crush on one's subject. Occasionally, Ms. Kempner said, she spoke to a life-size hooked rug bearingGreenberg's likeness that hangs in her house in Washington. "Many a night," she said,"I'd just go into the living room and turn the lights low. I'd look at Hank and say:"I'm going to do it. It's going to get done. And I'd pray to my dad." She paused, then regained her composure. "It's just how I honor my father," she added. "If he could see this film, he'd be kvelling."
Greenberg's greatness is undisputed. In a career interrupted for most of five seasons by World War II, the lumbering first baseman hit 331 home runs,compiled a .313 career batting average and knocked in 1,276 runs. In 1937, his 183 runs batted in were one fewer than Lou Gehrig's league record. His 58 home runs in 1938 were second to the 60 hit by Babe Ruth in 1927. "No question that he was the greatest Jewish hitter of all time," said Steve Greenberg, one of Greenberg's two sons and a former deputy commissioner ofMajor League Baseball. "But that's not how he wanted to be remembered. If you talk to players of that era, they knew he was one of the greatest players.Ted Williams said he was his idol." In Ms. Kempner's homey documentary -- a quilt of newsreel footage, interviews and spirited music selections like Mandy Patinkin singing "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" in Yiddish -- Greenberg is a quiet hero flawed only by his fielding range. To the worshipful fans who adored him as "Hankus Pankus,"Greenberg was a "messiah," "a Jewish god," a Moses-like savior who refuted the stereotypesabout what Jews could do.
"I had this Captain Marvel, Hank Greenberg, on my shoulder," Rabbi Reeve Brenner says in the film. "He was my big brother, my mishpocheh" (family). Alan Dershowitz, the Harvard Law School professor, adds, "He was what "they" said we could never be." When the Tigers traded Greenberg to the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1947, Don Shapiro, an oral surgeon and fan, felt as if "your bubbe" -- grandmother -- "moved to Mississippi." The passion is poignant, humorous and over the top, like Ms. Kempner's. Yet those who admired Greenberg know his achievements came in the face of ethnic baiting by fans and rival players and the anti-Semitic rantings of the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, the so-called radio priest from the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak, and Henry Ford.
"At the height of domestic anti-Semitism and the Nazis overrunning Europe, here was a Jewish player so good, so powerful and almost breaking Ruth's record," Ms. Kempner said."Two months after Hank nearly broke Ruth's record, Kristallnacht happened in Germany." In a 1984 interview used in the film, Greenberg recalled: "There was always some leatherlung yelling at me. I found it was a spur to make me do better because I could never fallasleep on the field. As soon as you struck out, you weren't only a bum, you were a Jewish bum."
Greenberg served as an unusual Jewish icon. He was raised in an Orthodox householdand had a bar mitzvah, but as an adult he grew distant from Judaism. "He took the 10Commandments as his code of living," Steve Greenberg said. "You wouldn't find him inthe shul at High Holidays, but he thought about being a mensch."
Ms. Kempner's film is a reminder of Greenberg's significance at a particular time,but his life does not resonate as powerfully today as it did in the 1930's. Jews still constitute a distinct minority in sports, but their status is rarely an issue. "Hank Greenberg was a tough Jew when tough Jews were important," said Peter Levine,author of "Ellis Island to Ebbets Field: Sports and the American Jewish Experience" "But if you wanted tough Jews after 1948, you looked at Israel, where Jews put theirlives on the line. He was a role model for my parents' generation." Yet Alva Greenberg, who knew little of her father's impact until she attended college,said: "People don't understand what happened then and what's happening now. We need to understand that the roots of anti-Semitism go way.
Hank Greenberg the Angeleno
In "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg," Walter Matthau describes how he joined the BeverlyHills Tennis Club just to be close to his boyhood hero. "It's the only reason I joined, becauseI don't play tennis," he admits. "I was there every afternoon trying to get lunch with him.... So I had a lot of lunch."
Greenberg, who spent the last 12 years of his life in L.A., held court daily at the club, where members hung on hisevery word. Displaced Easterners regularly stopped him on the street to ask for his autograph or to say how much hemeant to them as Jews growing up in the 1930s. Initially, Greenberg was a reluctant Angeleno.
Hank Greenberg, at 70, watching the Israeli tennis team at UCLA.
When his second wife, Mary Jo, first asked him to consider relocating here, the athlete-turned-stockmarket investor scoffed. Los Angeles was three hours behind the New York stock exchange, he argued. But the climate and lifestyle eventually changed his mind.
In L.A., Greenberg had little to do with baseball. He attended only half a dozen Dodger games, andwhen he occasionally watched games on TV, Mary Jo would hear him complaining: "You bum, you can't hit your hat, but you're making millions."
His life here primarily consisted of stock trading and tennis; it was at the Beverly Hills club that he met Rabbi Leonard Beerman of Leo Baeck Temple, who had revered the Jewish ball player while growing up in an anti-Semitic small town in south central Michigan. "Magically, my childhood idol became my friend,"says the rabbi, who found that Greenberg, in his final years, was pondering his identity as a Jew.
Greenberg wasn't a religious man, Beerman recalls; he did not attend synagogue, but he staunchlysupported Israel and enjoyed debating Middle East politics with the rabbi. Greenberg supported the United Jewish Fund and the U.S. committee of Sports for Israel and offered Beerman a first-personaccount of the famous story of how he refused to play baseball on Yom Kippur 1934. While the newspapersportrayed Greenberg as a hero, he did not feel particularly heroic when he walked into the Detroitsynagogue on that September day.
"Everyone burst into applause, and he was so embarrassed," Beerman says. "He was only 23 years old. He just wanted to hide his face." When the athlete died of cancer at age 75 in 1986, it was Beerman who conducted the graveside service at Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary. Filmmaker Aviva Kempner visited the grave on a recent trip to L.A., where Greenberg's friends and fans, notably TV guru NormanLear, helped her raise much of the funds for her film.
Greenberg's son, Stephen, a former attorney and minor-league baseball player, has a favorite story about his dad in L.A., which is recounted in Greenberg's autobiography "Hank Greenberg: The Story of My Life." It happened the day Mark Fidrych, a former Detroit Tigers pitcher, arrived for lunch with Matthau at the club.The eccentric Fidrych had been known as The Bird, or "flaky one," because he had strutted like a peacock and talkedto himself on the mound. He began to heckle Greenberg on the tennis court: "In ball park vernacular, that is knownas bench-jockeying, which is what the opposing teams used to do to my dad -- except they used to yell "kike" or "yid," Stephen Greenberg recalls. Fidrych kept it up until Greenberg, red in the face, and with every vein throbbing on his neck, dropped his racquet, stomped over to the fence and yelled: "I can hit anything you pitch -- down the middle, outside, inside, curve-ball, slider, screwball!" Fidrych was too stunned to reply.
When Matthau later asked Greenberg why he had become so angry, his reply was succinct. "You gotta intimidate pitchers," he said."That was my father in his 70's," Stephen Greenberg marvels. "Still trying to intimidate pitchers."

Greta Chapa Pena, 47, of George West, was the driver of a 1998 GMC SUV, carrying her 1-year-old grandson and her 10-year-old son, according to George West Police Chief Ray Garcia Jr.
Garcia said the accident report stated that Pena and her son were transported by helicopter. The 10-year-old had a serious head laceration, while Pena had no visible injuries, but she had broken ribs and other internal problems.
The grandson was released to his father and was uninjured.
The driver of the second vehicle, Frank Hunter, 70, of Corpus Christi, was in a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado – a Bottom Line Services company truck.
Hunter sustained a broken thumb and other non-visible injuries. He was taken to a Beeville hospital and then transported to Corpus Christi.
According to Garcia, a witness said Pena's vehicle made a left-hand turn off U.S. Highway 59 onto U.S. Highway 281, while Hunter was traveling east on U.S. Highway 59.
Pena did not yield the right of way.
Garcia said no seat restraints were worn in Pena's vehicle. Hunter was wearing a seat belt.
"There may be citations for having unsecured children," Garcia said.
He added that Pena was driving with a suspended driver's licence, as well.
Also on the scene besides the George West Police Department were the Live Oak County Sheriff's Department, George West Volunteer Fire Department personnel, two Acadian ambulance units and HALO-flight personnel.

Gov. Scott Walker's administration is taking back $720 from the Capitol Police chief that was given to him retroactively.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports Friday that Walker's administration is acknowledging it acted improperly in retroactively raising Chief Dave Erwin's pay by 11.7 percent.
However, the reversal only affects the retroactive portion of his pay raise. He will continue to receive the higher salary of $111,067 going forward.
The disclosure came in an email from the chief counsel for the Department of Administration sent Wednesday to an attorney for the Legislature.
The acknowledgment of a mistake comes after the Walker administration insisted it followed state rules in giving the retroactive raise to Erwin as part of a transfer to a phantom job and then back to his current post.

Pet Airways
Pet Airways is the brainchild of Dan and Alysa Wiesel. In 2001 they found themselves traveling back and forth to Florida from California, but Zoe, their Jack Russell Terrier was a bit too big to fit under the seat. After a tense-filled trip with Zoe in cargo, Dan said there has to be a better way, and the idea of Pet Airways was born.
Today, we no longer fly in a pets-only configuration. We do however offer private chartered flight where you and your pet can fly together. You, a mate or two, and your pets, all aboard a plane that takes off when you want to take off and flies to a local airport close to your destination. The planes are small, but the experience is amazing. And of course your pet is right there with you.
A Special Alaskan Dog
This week I had an incredible experience on my trip to Alaska. On our way back from Denali National Park we stopped in Wasilla, just outside of Anchorage, at the headquarters of the Iditarod. After scouring the gift shop for the usual trinkets we went to see the Iditarod huskies. I had the joy of holding and playing with 3 huskie puppies. We also met Earl the full grown husky. What a treat.
Aggressive Dog Breeds and Airline Policies
Recently, there was a posting on Facebook regarding a military family that was relocated to another base. The posting went on to say that the military contracts with a certain airline for the relocation, but the airline had a policy of not accepting "aggressive breeds" of dogs. This family had an "aggressive breed" dog.
When Pet Airways was up, flying and transporting pets, we faced this same issue and early on we set up a policy that we did not discriminate against any pet, no matter what breed.

I've gotten off of XP on my 5 computers at home. I have one running Vista and the other 4 are running Windows 7. I do have XP installed in separate partitions I can boot it on 2 computers, and XP mode (under Windows 7 Pro) on another. The only Windows 8 I have is on my test computer which has XP, 3 versions of Windows 7, and Windows 8 Pro. I would really recommend Windows 7 Professional for anybody needing XP, since it has a free XP mode which works well for all XP dependent programs except high speed games (graphics are too limited for these). At the very least everyone should be aware of what they'll need to do to get upgraded. If you're going to get Windows 7, now's the time to get it because almost all new computers are being shipped with Windows 8 preinstalled.
With Windows 8, there're no games, no XP mode, and a considerable learning curve. Thank goodness there's Start8 and Classic Start from 3rd parties which make Windows 8 have the look and feel pretty much like Windows 7. If you're going to upgrade to Windows 8, you should download it this month while you can still get it from MS for $40. After this month, it'll cost $70.

June 5, 2013 —
TOWN OF TUSTEN, NY — In a brightly lit and chilly town hall basement, a committee meets regularly every two weeks to discuss the details of a Design Master Plan for the Town of Tusten. At a recent meeting, the group sat around a small table, their heads bowed over, looking at a large map of an aerial view of Tusten with numbered sections. Number by number, the committee discussed ideas for the future of the Town of Tusten.
The committee was formed last summer, representing a diverse group of Tusten residents from all over the town and of different ages, backgrounds and employment. Some have lived here for numerous years. One of the committee's first tasks was to hire an architect. They drafted a Request for Proposal (RFP) and hired Buck Moorhead, who owns a house in Callicoon and an architecture firm in New York City. He and the committee will continue to discuss plans until they have a committee-approved draft to present to the public.
The next step in writing a master plan is to hear from the public, and Moorhead explained that the public is being invited to answer the question, "What can Narrowsburg be 20 to 25 years from now?"
During the recent hour-long meeting, the committee discussed many possible answers to that question, hashing out ideas and ideals, and talking about the feasibility of each and how to get there. There were agreements and disagreements, as any planning group would encounter, and they checked off some of the numbered items on their list, even as it keeps growing. One could picture the original founders of Tusten having a similar meeting.
The outline of the design plan is what Moorhead calls a "living document." It addresses many concepts, while still keeping it open to ideas and changes, and was unanimously passed by the town board last summer. It was written with regard to a comprehensive plan completed by the Town of Tusten in 2007, which incorporated the suggestions of residents in the form of a survey, public hearings and written comments.
Architect Karl Wasner, the chair of the committee, says the town-wide master plan is a short- and long-range proactive visioning plan, so that "we wind up in a better place than we are now." The plan targets certain areas for improvement in the Tusten area, such as promoting environmental, artistic, cultural and touristic values, promoting Narrowsburg as a pedestrian (car-independent) community, developing a natural stairway at Main Street that optimizes tourist and pedestrian access to the riverfront, and more.
The committee wants the plan to physically unify the Town of Tusten, but they also hope it will unify it in spirit and community pride. In the original RFP that led to hiring architect Moorhead, they write that it "will befit the potential of and reflect the rich character and charm of Narrowsburg," and it "will promote and enhance the business and quality of life for the whole village area."
As far as funding, the committee hopes to secure grant money, and says that no money will come from taxpayers.
Former town board member Andrea Reynosa has been researching grants for the project. The Narrowsburg Beautification Group (NBG) has received grants through Sullivan Renaissance, including the $25,000 Golden Feather Award in 2012, and a community development grant for $5,000. They, the town board and the design committee had a meeting and everyone agreed that it would be smart for NBG to partner on this initiative, and NBG gave $5,000 to the town to be used for the design plan.
Helen Budrock, the community planner at Sullivan Renaissance, said that their organization has supported the NBG in the past, and were excited to see them partnering with the master design planning committee. She said it will, "Get communities to think about the bigger picture."
One of the biggest themes is to make the hamlet a pedestrian community. A national trend has shown that more and more people want pedestrian-friendly areas, where they can walk to work, the grocery store and then some. There is also a desire for more public spaces, especially in crowded cities, where small parks and plazas are popping up everywhere, like in Times Square in New York City, where parts of the streets have been closed to cars, allowing pedestrians to sit and hang out. Instead of cars fleeing the area, business boomed.
This trend has been a focus of the public discussion about community design recently; for example a May 31 New York Times article, "A Prescription for Plazas and Public Places," discusses how the desire to be in the middle of things is one that many people understand and inherently feel. It's why people congregate in the kitchen during a dinner party; it's where the activity is. These ideas the committee believes can work for Tusten. They said they are taking a bottom-up approach to design something that the community wants and can enjoy for years to come.

The Great Pumpkin
Nature's timing is flawless. As if on cue, the winter squash and pumpkins appear just as the onslaught of zucchini starts to ebb. And they're here to stay, their stout curves and painterly colors a pleasure to behold throughout the winter. Every year I stock up on the many varieties grown by Alice and Neil Fitzgerald of River Brook Farm in Cochecton, NY including international heirlooms like the brilliant orange Hubbard, the voluptuous Musque de Provence and the charmingly bumpy Marina di Chioggia. These all have a dense, creamy flesh that is equally delicious roasted, fried (pumpkin tempura!) or stewed.
Pumpkins and winter squash are domesticated species of the genus Cucurbita, and the difference among them is more culinary than botanical. Winter squash tend to have a finer texture and milder flavor, while pumpkins have a more pronounced flavor and flesh that is often orange. Though they are not completely interchangeable, for brevity's sake I will refer to them from here on as pumpkins. They are a warm weather crop that can be stored well into the winter, provided they have been "cured"—a weeks-long drying process in a warm, dry spot (a sunny windowsill or greenhouse) during which the skin hardens and the flavors intensify. Unlike many root vegetables, pumpkins require little cosseting and can spend several months in a frost-free shed or on your kitchen counter, with nothing more than a thick layer of newspaper to keep them happy.
In addition to being delicious and hardy, pumpkins are an excellent source of nutrition, high in the vitamin C and omega-3 fatty acids that support our immunity through the cold months and rich in beta-carotene, whose powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties soothe arthritis and help prevent the build-up of bad cholesterol. The seeds contain plenty of protein, so consider roasting them for a snack rather than dumping them in the garbage (or the compost heap).

KT at 3rd string C im ok with.. backup pf not so much..
Why does everybody forget about Kurt Thomas? I've been sayin it all offseason, dude can still ball. Its not like he was ever that athletic, he hasnt really lost anything because he didnt have much to lose. He just does a great job of positioning himself defensively and for rebounds and he can still knock down an open mid range jumpshot. 2 years ago with Chicago he made a difference for them almost every time he stepped on the court. He had an 18 rebound game when Noah was out, last year he had some good games with the Blazers. Didnt really get many minutes but was always productive with the minutes he had. Hes sorta like camby in the sense that he can come into the game and control the boards. Hes undeniably worthy of minutes
KT at 3rd string C im ok with.. backup pf not so much..
Dat possible big man rotation of Amare, Sheed, Camby and Tyson got me fired up.. CMON SHEED MAKE DAT COMEBACK WITH THE KNICKS!
All I'm going to say is when the Lakers were rumored to have signed Sheed last season everyone said it was a great move.
Now I see the Knicks getting mocked for it.
Depends on how Sheed played - really the goal is to make sure if/when Tyson is in foul trouble we aren't totally exposed down low. Don't need Sheed to be a stud. Just need a competent 10-15 minutes per game.

The Knicks are going to have a few months to evaluate him but lets be real it's a long shot that he makes the team.
all these bigs means posting up is going to be a problem then add in guys like Shump, Felton, Kidd, and Brewer on the perimeter and running the ball wont be easy too. I know these guys are old but they will run the system and if Woodson is a long term coach it will just be placeholders for the type of role players needed in the future. Melo and Amare mostly finesse style of play need a team of goons to keep opponents honest.
Also I will say this I wanna see shump and Wallace do some trash talking on one of these prima donna stars on a punk team like Brandon Jennings just get shut down and knocked out. Thats what I want... even if the knicks can't win it all every team should be like "damn the knicks aren't a joke" and have to work to beat them...
Count Tyson Chandler among those who think Rasheed Wallace has something left.
After taking the last two seasons off, Wallace worked out at the Knicks practice facility, and is considering signing with the team. And after seeing him work out, Chandler thinks Wallace can help.
He looked good, Chandler said Wednesday at a charity event featuring his photography, including pictures of former Knicks Jeremy Lin and Landry Fields.. Rasheed can be a great addition to us.
Despite his extended break from the NBA, with Wallaces last game action coming with Boston in the 2010 Finals, Chandler said Wallace still has skills that can help the Knicks.
I hope he [comes], Chandler said. I dont know what the situation is, butHes a great communicator on defense and we know he can knock down the open 3 and jump shot.
To have myself and Amare [Stoudemire] with Marcus Camby and Rasheed as backups ... Thats pretty nice.
Chandler and many of his teammates have been participating in informal workouts at the teams practice facility. One additional set of eyes there this week has been Hall of Fame center Hakeem Olajuwon, who has been working with Chandler, Stoudemire and others on post moves.
Chandler said hes already noticed a difference.
Theyre going great, man, Chandler said. I couldnt ask for a better supporting cast. I couldnt ask for a better big man to be on my side to work with than Hakeem, to work on moves and be supportive and encourage me and practice them.
He said he has noticed a different feeling around the facility, as the players get ready for training camp to kick off Monday.
Its a feeling that you have before you win, he said. Im excited about it.

Umm he plays a perimeter game.
Yes he scores on the inside and rebounds decently but so do/have other great perimeter scorers.
Getting the ball on the wing and going to work there= finesse player
He's not Charles Barkley for crying out loud.
At times Melo can be as physical as anyone else, when he plays his bully ball but in my opinion i wouldnt mind see him do more of that. The way i look at it, Lebron is the most physical SF, Melo's somewhere between Lebron and Durant. Durants the least physical of all them but his efficiency and team play makes him better then Melo. But with a few small tweaks, Melo can be on par with anyone
Actually, I gotta say World Peace is the most physical SF. Watch how he goes at Blake Griffin next time Lakers and Clippers play. Not so much offensively but defensively and the way he boxes out has me speechless. I remember he basically boxed out Blake Griff, had the dude pinned and easily grabbed the rebound. His strength at SF is on a level by itself, hes stronger then most players at any position in the game
Sheed went out dropping a solid per 36, he can still be a factor. Maybe the time off has given him some restorative opportunity and now he can come in and drop the open trey, he can dish it sometimes off the key, he can give the attitude and bully the other team and he's good for 6 fouls. You can't beat that.

The Honolulu Fire Department would like the public to enjoy the Independence Day holiday and asks that people understand the dangers of fireworks.
Improper use of fireworks can cause severe injuries and presents a significant risk of starting fires. The HFD also reminds the public that only firecrackers can be used on Oahu. All other fireworks are illegal for consumer use in Honolulu.
"We hope that people will respect Honolulu's fireworks ordinance and the dangers of firecrackers," said Fire Chief Manuel Neves.
A little over 9,600 people suffered fireworks-related injuries and were treated in emergency rooms in 2011 and approximately 2,500 of those injured were children under 15 years of age, according to the National Fire Protection Association.
In Hawaii, the Injury Prevention Program of the Hawaii State Department of Health reported that in 2011 there were no fireworks-related injuries reported from hospitals on Oahu. The DOH noted that there was an annual average of 17 such injuries on Oahu during the preceding 8 year-period (2003-2010), with a high of 37 injuries in 2005.
The HFD believes the report of no injuries on Oahu in 2011 coincides with changes to the sale and use of consumer fireworks that became effective on January 2, 2011.
"The safest way to enjoy fireworks is to attend one of the public displays conducted by trained professionals on Oahu," Neves added. "If you use firecrackers, please review these safety tips, follow rules, and be considerate of your neighbors."
The following information is provided to help the public remain safe and enjoy the Independence Day holiday:
Fireworks Safety Tips
- Use only approved fireworks from a licensed retail outlet that posts its retail license.
- Always read and follow warnings and instructions listed by the manufacturer to ensure the safe handling and use of fireworks.
- Never point or throw fireworks at a person, building, or animal.
- Never ignite fireworks indoors. Ensure your outdoor area is safe for fireworks use.
- Fireworks should only be lighted on a smooth, flat surface away from buildings, dry vegetation, and flammable materials.
- Do not string fireworks on utility poles.
- Keep any type of ladder, pole, or tie lines used to set up fireworks at least 10 feet away from power lines.
- Never shoot fireworks in metal or glass containers.
- Have a garden hose or a bucket of water ready in the event of a fire.
- Alcohol and fireworks do not mix.
- Always wear eye protection when lighting fireworks.
- When lighting fireworks, never position any part of your body over them.
- Never attempt to relight malfunctioning fireworks.
