Sound of FeetPosted at 8:12 AM | Comments (1)
I started becoming aware of this when I decided in my teen years that I needed to escape my family and four sisters fighting for a single bathroom and I moved myself to the basement bedroom. It was next to the stairs and it sometimes seemed an earthquake was coming when people galloped down the stairs. In adjusting to the new sounds of my bedroom and in the solitude I was seeking, I became very aware of my family's movement. I could tell when sisters were fighting, Dad was mad, and when my family was being active or peaceful. When Jhon and I got our first apartment together, it was a basement apartment. The sounds above were foreign to him, but to me, it felt like home.
I'd begun to forget about those days when we bought our own home. It was 11 years before Jhon and I had Johnny, our first child. A couple years after this, I remember when I became aware of his little pattering toddler feet, whatever I was doing I stopped and listened and I cried. I get teary eyed now to still think about it. I now had my family and our own beautiful sounds of children feet.
Yesterday, I returned from a trip. I was just so happy to be at home and with my family. And I was listening intently to our home. The kids were playing on their Kinect and I heard their feet dancing, running in place, and jumping. And then one that just made me laugh, a clickity, click of paws on the hardwood floor. (I can't believe we have a puppy!)
When times are stressed, when we are arguing, looking for lost shoes, trying to get out the door. I just exhale, briefly close my eyes, and just listen to feet, and now add the clickity, click of paws, and I know, all is good and blessed!

In Nice 2000 Berezhnaya/Sikharulidze were heading to World's as favourite's for the title but elena took a banned substance for a common cold and withdrew from the event. The event was now wide open. We saw the emergence of Sale/Pelletier here, but they fell short here, Shen & Zhao were the favourites but the pressure got to them, we saw the emotional win of the bronze medal of Abitbol/Bernadis on home turf to routine called "Angel & Demon" but it was the surprise of Petrova/Tikhonov who took the Gold technically with their routine to Vivaldi's "Four Seasons"
This year has seen the dominance of two familiar names who have joined as one Volosozhar/Trankov they have Sochi in their sights and this has been their start to leap ahead of the rest and set themselves as favourite's for OG?. They start as favourites here, they are a good partnership - work together very well and both are good technically to make this one of the best pairs of all time - ok too early to say that!!
It has to be said Savchenko/Szolkowy will not let them get ahead of them and they will need to win here to keep their OG dreams alive and to give them confidence going in to 2013. Savchenko did have an injury which forced them to withdraw from European's, as I don't know there situation regarding their fitness I see them as 2nd favourite's behind V/T.
the best of the rest:
Kavaguti/Smirnov[/B] Again a team absent from European's. A typical Moskvina team full of tricks, I do feel that K/S have the best LP out there to "Clare de Lune" but I feel they might struggle to keep up with the two teams mentioned above but I feel confident that they should make the podium at Nice.
Denney/Coughlin a new US partnership (the US has suffered with a lot of pair break ups recently) but a very good one. I was shocked to hear that Coughlin had split from Caitlin as they did so well last year BUT he certainly has made up for it teaming with Denney, they synchronise very well and love their LP to Nessun Dorma this year.
Bazarova/Larionov A very balletic couple Vera does remind me of a lot of Gordeeva - I feel this year they have not gone to another level - sort of sameness about them, wish they would come up with something original for their Long program - seem to suffer with their solo jumps, we shall see.
Takahashi/Tran A lovely couple, and program wise this couple does it for me. LOVE both programs this year particularly their SP to piano version of "Imagine" just their jumps let them down which is a pity the rest it Beautiful.
Berton/Hotarek Again I adore this couple they have the "WOW" factor about them. Such a joy to watch they ooze class, elegant and artistic, again the jumps let this couple down but two solid programs should have them top 8 finish, we shall see.
[B]Duhamel/Radford Solid season for them, again have gone from strength to strength, love their LP to instrumental version of Coldplay music, they do have the technical ability to surprise.
The chinese teams:
I left these till last because I got a feeling they will surprise us all:
Sui/Han Wow!! what a young team and evidence of their 4CC LP we are in for a surprise, they work so well together, the technical elements are second to none as you would expect from the Chinese, I adore both programs - the crowd pleasing country and western SP and the passionate LP to "soul of Flamenco" they are my Dark Horses of the event.
Pang/Tong Adorable couple on and off the ice, they decided to sit out the GP so on that evidence we don't know how they would go here but I suppose on reputation you cannot rule them out and i should imagine are well trained to compete - a former technical couple - more artistic now and a joy to watch. Another Dark Horse couple I might expect could surprise for a medal or a top 5 finish.

On my first morning, I awoke to the sound of something walking around outside my tent. Opening the tent flap, I came face to face with my first javelina. It looked fiercely at me and narrowed its piggy eyes. My own eyes widened.
Gently, calmly I closed the tent flap. I zipped my sleeping bag up snugly and decided I really wasn't ready to get up after all. I breathed deeply (what was that peculiar odor?) and focused on listening to the sounds of birds. But for 15 minutes all I could hear were the footfalls of little hooves on the rocks around my tent.
Yes, I was a little afraid of the javelina. But I read up on the beast and found out it was more interesting than scary. I learned that its official name is Collared Peccary. It resembles the domestic pig, but it is not a pig at all.
Pigs and peccaries diverged from a common ancestor almost 40 million years ago. Pigs (or swine, hogs and wild boar) evolved in the Old World. Peccaries evolved in the warmer parts of the New World, specifically Central and South America.
Peccaries differ from the hog family in a number of ways. Peccaries are slenderer and smaller by at least 30 pounds. Both peccaries and hogs have hooves, but the hind feet of peccaries only have three toes (hogs have four). Both have tusks, but the peccary's tusks are straight, vertical and about an inch and a half long. Hog tusks can be much longer and are usually curved. Hogs have long curly tails. The peccary has only an "apology" for a tail. In fact, it looks tailless.
The most striking difference between the two families is the presence of a dorsal scent gland in peccaries. The scent gland is a nipple-like structure on the rump that exudes a distinct musky liquid. Its purpose appears to be social; the stink keeps the herd in contact with each other. But certainly it can alert other mammals in the area that there are peccaries around. It is often said that you can smell javelinas before you can see them!
There are actually three species of peccary. Two species, the White-lipped Peccary and the Chacoan Peccary, are only found in South America. However, the Collared Peccary's range extends from Argentina to Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona.
In South Texas, peccaries are usually called javelinas, but the origin of this name is unclear. Most likely, it comes from "jabalina" (the Spanish word for spear) which is a reference to its tusks. I think that a name that referred to its stink would have been more appropriate!
Javelinas thrive in the arid lands of the southwestern United States. Thorny brush, inhospitable cactus and dense cat-claw thickets provide both shelter and food for this animal. The javelina's fur is coarse, bristly and grizzled. This fur camouflages the animals so well, that they seem to disappear as they enter the brush.
Prickly pear cactus abounds in South Texas. And it is the favored food of javelinas. Fifty percent of their diet is made up of prickly pear, and the cactus may provide most of their water needs as well. Javelinas also eat acorns, other nuts and forbs. Occasionally, they will root out shallow tubers and rhizomes. They never dig very deeply, however, unlike feral hogs which can plow up a field!
Javelinas are not opposed to helping themselves to food put out by humans. Nancy Lawson of Cadiz put out deer corn for her Green Jays last winter. Inevitably, a few grains fell to the ground. Soon after, she noticed she had a small herd of about five or six javelinas coming to her feeder area. And if this wasn't exciting enough, in April the herd showed up with two tiny javelina babies!
Baby animals are always cute. So were these piglets, or piglings as javelina babies are often called. They showed up at dusk with their mom, tripping along on their tiny hooves. Sometimes they would suckle. Occasionally, the piglings would rub on the mother, presumably to acquire that "delightful" herd scent.
Javelinas typically have twins. This is a good thing since the mother only has two teats. But there are records of litters of five piglings.
Since javelina piglings are so cute, people have kept them as pets. But they usually regret it. The cute baby grows into a bristle-covered, big-headed beast.
As it stares at you with its pea-sized eyes, the javelina looks mean and menacing. Its poor eyesight requires it to use its sense of smell more than vision. It is probably only gathering an "odor picture" of you, but it looks threatening. Javelinas frequently clack their teeth together to produce a loud, disturbing sound. Jaw clacking works to scare away intruders. It works for me!
The javelina's ferocious looks, its tooth popping and ever-present musky smell combine to make it less than a superior pet. But as a denizen of the brush country, it is a well-adapted and fascinating animal. I hope you get to see one soon!

All I've got to say is: LOL
"Goliath Killed David's DeJesus" – extra hilarious =)
– V [ http://flairforthedramatic.mlblogs.com ]
Yes! Manny Lee might be the best name in the world to say three times in a row!
Teahan is Canadian, I don't know where he learned that? It is probably just for show, he likely listens to Bryan Adams all day.
Sorry, I'm still not afraid of the Royals. Horacio Ramirez is their fifth starter for chrissakes! You know who needs to be afraid though? The Vikings' front office. For what I am about to do to them. Which is, uh, not buy tickets to any games I guess.
Thank goodness Farnsworth can still bring the heat, or he would be serving the cocktails in the suites to the suits.
I am just hoping Jose Guillen has one of his meltdown in the next 72 hours.
When he does, he has a great season. But when he is calm after at least 3 games, he gets hurt or is a lame duck player for a month or so…….someone got kick him now!!!!
At least the BBQ is great!
Rays Renegade
I heard the strangest thing the other day. I was discussing the Royals, who aside from being very bad, also seem to have absolutely no plan as an organization. Every year, they sign at least one semi-big free agent (Juan Cruz, Coco Crisp), but do seldom to actually improve the core of their team. They're completely directionless.
During this conversation, which included how the aforementioned Teahen should have been non-tendered to clear up some payroll, my friend began talking about their rotation, and he used the words "Behind Kyle Davies…" BEHIND KYLE DAVIES! I didn't know it was possible to field a major league team with pitchers on it who were not good enough to pitch in front of Kyle Davies. That's pretty much the bottom of the barrel right there. I don't know how Royals fans do it; I truly don't.
Sweet makeup. I need some of that eye liner…not really. I'm kidding.
– Donnie
You all said it about as well as I could/should. The good news is, we still have Farnsworth to wipe our feet on. The bad news is, the Royals haven't a clue as to how to run a ballclub… I mean, they did give Farnsy a two-year deal. In the end, Teahen is their last (and only?) saving grace.
You totally just reinforced my previous belief that beauty pageants are the devil's spawn. OH, the stupidity!
The "Eat Them and DIE!!!" part is probably the best part of all the names…until you get to Kyle. I always wonder how he still has a job in the Majors. Hey, if it means more White Sox winners, he can stay in KC until he dies. Probably from eating the CoCo Crisps. Or if a Royals fan kills him first.

It helps replenish immune-boosting glutathione, which is one of your body's primary natural defense components. N-acetyl cysteine also promotes healthy liver function, as it helps to naturally detoxify this important organ. N-acetyl cysteine is more bioavailable than regular L-cysteine, and taking NAC supplements appears to be more efficient than supplementing with glutathione in supporting production of this important antioxidant. The popularity of these products is clear when you read the customer reviews below.

Our next odd college course is a walk in the park ...
No. 2: The Art of Walking - Centre College
You do gotta hand it to them -- for two reasons. First, when's the last time you paid attention to the way you walked? And two, think of something you do more of?
Call it the most applicable class ever. (Unless, they have one on breathing, which they just might.) And perhaps it's a great unifier, a course that can bring people from a variety of disciplines together for a stroll. Aww.
Actually, at Centre College in Danville, Ky., this is a philosophy class -- another thing everyone can jive with. And the walking, it turns out, is more of a complementary activity, allowing the various settings visited -- a park, a cemetery, what have you -- to stimulate thought and discussion.
Hmmm, on second thought, maybe it's all a diversion, a way to get otherwise sedentary philosophy loafs up off their derrieres and on their feet.
Last up, if you're wrestling with your course schedule, consider this class ...
No. 1: American Pro Wrestling - Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Elitists like to look down their noses at professional wrestling fandom, but at the upper-echelon college of MIT, they heed a bit more respect.
In "Topics in Comparative Media: American Pro Wrestling," they see it as a useful tool for examining masculine role models and also looking at the increasing aspect of drama into the wrestling productions.
There has been an evolution, hasn't there? The stars have gone from merely hefty to ridiculously ripped; and the story lines have gotten increasingly exaggerated and involved. Everything always has to be more. It's all kind of a neat polarization of stereotypes: "dainty" theatrics and "manly" muscles.
And to continue with the stereotyping, it's the geeks of MIT that are studying this. So maybe a little brains can go along with all that brawn and drama that makes up pro wrestling these days.

For Immediate Release
May 16, 2013
Students prepare their award-winning school lunch for the State Board of Education
State Board Spotlight shines on George Washington High School after team wins Healthy Schools Campaign challenge
SPRINGFIELD —Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) members received a special treat today (Thursday, May 16) as students from George Washington High School in Chicago served their award-winning school lunch during the Board's monthly meeting. The high school students recently won a Healthy Schools Campaign competition to create a great-tasting lunch that meets nutrition standards on a tight budget, using only ingredients commonly available to school food service.
"Math, language arts and science may get the attention in our schools, but our students need a wide range of experiences and learning to maximize their career options," said State Board of Education Chairman Gery J. Chico. "We are proud of these culinary students for their achievement and honored to try their winning school lunch."
Culinary students Vanessa Arnold, Leonard Gutierrez, Marina Nava, Karen Rivera and Leon Sanchez have been invited to the national Cooking up Change® finals in Washington, D.C., next month to compete against seven other cities from across the U.S. Their award-winning lunch is Chicken Rancheros, Elotes Washington and Fruta del Trópico.
For their efforts, ISBE recognized George Washington High School, a Chicago Public Schools District 299 school on the city's southeast side, the students and their culinary instructors, Laniecia Anderson, Olanike Braimoh and Tai Sellers, through the State Board's Spotlight, a program designed to recognize great achievements and educational practices across the state. The students credited their culinary mentors, Shantaya Foster and Terri Lamont, of the Greater Chicago Food Depository.
Healthy Schools Campaign launched Cooking up Change in Chicago in 2007. Student-designed meals from the contest have been served in schools across the country — including the districts where they were created — as well as at Congressional briefings and in the Longworth cafeteria, which serves Congressional leaders and their staff.
"One of the most exciting elements of Cooking up Change is the emotional investment from the students in this important issue," said Rochelle Davis, president and chief executive officer of Healthy Schools Campaign. "We want to give them the opportunity to have their voices heard and show us their vision for the healthy menu that they and their peers would like to see."

More information about the organization's Cooking up Change program is available at http://cookingupchange.org.
Additional schools, districts, educators and students will be honored with the State Board Spotlight at future board meetings. In February, Urbana School District 116 was honored for 21st Century Community Learning Center grant achievements, including a reduction in the achievement gap.

Rockies are Hot…Cubs are Not
Cubs vs Rockies Game One
Weather: 55 degrees, clear.
Wind: 10 mph, In from LF.
Att: 30,285
Something felt different at Coors Field today. Normally when the Cubbies are in town Coors Field is swarming with over enthusiastic Cub fans doing their best to try and own our stadium for a few games. Not today, Cubs fans were few and far between.
I thought maybe it was the weather, but the Cubs habitate in Chicago and they're no strangers to cold April baseball. Then I though "Could they be scared or intimadated?
The Rockies are on fire right now and it's hard to be over enthusiastic when you're playing the number one team in baseball and they're kicking your a-ss.
Batting practice was totally hampered today by the wind. Balls that easily would have landed in the pavilion were landing twenty feet short. I ran into Joy today at batting practice. She was hanging out waiting on the rest of her crew.
I gave her the last of the six "Helmer is my Homeboy" T-shirts that Tom Helmer gave me.
Just so you know, I gave them to:
and me
If you want a "Helmer is my Homeboy" T-Shirt hang out behind the pavilion where ROOT SPORTS does their post-game broadcast after a Rockies win. Helmer has been known to toss a few of his shirts out to Rockies fans.
I believe someday they'll be collectors items.🙂
Batting practice was almost over and I walked up to Joy and said "I gotta feeling it's gonna happen". Not thirty seconds later a ball was hit my way and I realized it was going to fall a bit short. Fortunately this one took a hearty bounce and I snagged it.
First caught ball of the season, a ground rule double..I'm ok with that :)
In case you were wondering why all the players had #42 on their jerseys it's because it was Jackie Robinson Day.
I think they do this just to mess with folks.
Here are a few pre-game pictures.
Robert and the Rox Addict (BFF's)
Cathy Sabine making Coors Field look just a little bit better.
There were a couple of powerballs on the field as well. Notice how one of 'em is hang'n just a bit lower?
I didnt know it at the time I took this picture, but these two would be the heros of this game.
Jim Tracy showing the Umpires which way the wind blows.
Umpire Jerry Layne was tagged in the left ankle by a line drive from Carlos Pena in the second inning. The dude tried to get out of the way but didn't quite make it.
He was down for a couple of minutes but walked off the field on his own. Glad he's ok.
Here's a few action shots straight from the Rockpile.
Worst hair of the game…Cub blue…Ewww
Chacin was money again tonight. He pitched his first career shutout.
This game was all Chris Iannetta. In the third inning with bases loaded Chris hit a triple, scored the three on base and because of an error on the play at third Chris managed to get home.
It was beautiful. I was so happy to see Chris do that. He needed that.
Final Score: Rockies 5…Cubs 0
Rockies have won seven in a row and their record is 11-2.
That's the best record in MLB right now.
Part-time Rockies fans, the bandwagon is rolling full speed, time to get on.
I'm D The Rockpile Ranter…I'm in it to win it…D

Can I hop on the bandwagon (said the Indians fan)? First off, those were some good pics – really enjoyed the posting! Second, I've read a few national sports writers that are starting to hop on the Rox bandwagon – do you think the start is indicative of a serious run at the division or is it too early to tell?
Thanks for the update from the Rockpile. Ianettea actually hit a triple and scored when the throw went into the dugout, which is an automatic extra base. Glad to hear that Cubs fans were few and far between. I bet they will be in full force Saturday and Sunday. Go Rox. Kinda weird that they are in 1st place in April.
Peas Out – Ken
Glad I was there for your first ball of the season. 🙂 Was a very fun game, although we froze our tushies off in that wind. Loved that hit and the subsequent 4 runs by Chris, but Ken is right . . . it was on an error that Chris came on home. That was SO awesome. Shut the loud Cub fans behind us right up. Ha!
Lovin' your new lens! Wow, can't believe the close-ups you got all the way from the RP. Very cool. 🙂
Your pix are always so unbelievably awesome! along with your writing.
Good to see you yesterday at the park, wish we coulda got the win. At some point you've got to get us all together in our Helmer T's and get a pix.
Looking forward to seeing you at more games this year than in previous years.
More amazing pics. It's just like you're taking us to the game with you!
'Minoring In Baseball'
Nice pics, and there's a reason the Rockies are the best in baseball.
—Mark Gauthier
WASTEN YEARS-Welcome to the Rant! Hop on! April ball is April ball, it's way too early to tell. It's just nice to see the Rockies off to a good start for a change.
KEN-Thx, fixed it.
LUVMYROX-Coldest game of the year so far for me…I hate cold baseball.
R-LUV-Now that I've figured out this lens I'm having fun…Fo sho…D
MIKE-Thanks brotha, that's my goal🙂
MARK-I'm having fun, but things are already changing..Good Luck to you this season…D

The wheels are staring to come off our cute little 2010 plan that we've been posting here for the past 5 years.
Dont know if this was posted but here you go.....
NBA At 2: Johnson Says He's Staying
As the summer of 2010 and the most over-hyped free agency period in the history of free agency draws near, it seems one by one the big would-be free agents are starting to hint at their intentions. Dwayne Wade and LeBron James have all but said in so many words that they're not leaving their current teams, Chris Bosh is talking about what the Raptors need to do to keep him in town, and now Atlanta's Joe Johnson has let it be known that he has no desire to leave Atlanta. He quickly refuted recent reports that his relationship with New York Knicks head coach Mike D'Antoni might sway him to head for the Big Apple this summer.
"I think everybody made such a big deal out of it because me and D'Antoni have a great relationship from Phoenix," Johnson told WCNN in Atlanta recently. "It is nothing more than that. We just talk and like to say 'What's up?' from time to time, but it is nothing bigger than that. My main attraction is here in Atlanta so you know there is nothing to that New York thing. I don't know where everybody is speculating and coming up with all of this stuff."
With that out of the way, the playoffs are at hand, and the Hawks have plenty to prove this year. After making steady progress under the tenure of head coach Mike Woodson, this is the year the Hawks need to take some steps towards the conference finals. Johnson is looking forward to the start of something special.
"It is definitely going to be fun. Just trying to break things down with Jamal (Crawford), how the atmosphere is going to be and I am glad that he is getting a chance to experience this for the first time. Like I said, it is going to be exciting. It is going to be a hostile crowd and I know everybody, we all can't wait to get out there and try to start something special."
The Milwaukee Bucks presented a bit more daunting challenge prior to Andrew Bogut's season-ending injury, but Johnson is well aware that they are still hungry and promise to give the Hawks all they can handle in the first round.
"We definitely know that," affirmed Johnson. "I think even with Bogut going down, you can't overlook them. That still will make them a dangerous team and probably even more dangerous because of the fact that everybody knows that they have to step up and everybody's role has gotten a lot bigger. Guys are going to be very, very aggressive and trying to start the game and it is going to be a tough game. It is going to be a tough series. I can see a lot of those perimeter guys really trying to take the load."

First off.....it is not wise to take anything anyone in Sports (be it player,coach or GM) says. Need an example just look at Elton Brand saying he will be a "Clipper for Life", look at Larry Brown claiming he wanted to re-sign with The Pistons as their head coach before joining us!
2. This is coming during a playoff run! They just won there opening game of the series, now is not the time to be talking about jumping ship
3. Let Mil. come back and win this series or let them get swept in the 2nd round again and then we will see where his loyalty is at!
Joe Johnson is a nice piece if we add some frontcourt help and a decent PG, no way all of our eggs are in his basket.
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Also....this is the time for those Big Time FA's to start talking about staying put!
During the regular season they have to scare their GM's and owners about leaving to possibly force them to make a huge contract extension offer during the regular season (see Manu Ginobli) and when that doesnt work, they simply tell prospective teams they are going to resign with their current rosters after the regular season ends to get them to do something hasty (see Philly and Elton Brand a couple years ago).
A player can not say for sure he is staying or for sure he is signing elsewhere it hurts his negotiating!
Its Poker fellas.... now Im not saying Joe won't resign with Atlanta, but trust me his agent has gotten a couple calls today from GM's once this story broke in order to gauge how serious Joe is about staying in Atlanta! And his agent probably began to salivate and told Joe to keep pouring it on!
With big market teams like Chicago and NY hurting at the SG spot any non max deal would be dumb for Joe to sign right now
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
Donnie even said he's not gonna over pay no player unless is lebron or wade ... And i agree with him on that because a guy like joe johnson dont deserve max money neither amare , bosh , boozer nd lee.... The only way i see a guy like bosh comin is from a sign and trade ... It aint lookin good doe half of these players are going to use us to get that max ... Just like grant hill and steve nash and jason kidd did to us
I see us signing LeBron, resigning Dlee, signing a mid leval player, and trading Eddy Curry for a mid leval player. Then we will probley resign Bill Walker, Earl Barron, and Sergio Rodriguez, for minimum money, then draft some good players and hopefully Walsh will trade us into a first round pick.
advocating for ages and truly see HAPPENING.
I also agree that Lee being resigned vs Bosh is liklier than
beleived. Bron isn't dumb, he knows
Lee's worth and how beautifully he'd pair with him.
That "midlevel" player is Morrows, or Felton. I think Morrows given Donnie and the world know what a good
passer/virtualPG general Bron already is
and that Lee is a de facto pt. forward.
The other "mid leveler" we ensnare vis a vis Curry is Okefur, possibly Randolph tho trickier due his perceived value.
pg Lebron/Serg
sg Morrows/Walker(if injured Douglas)
sf Gallo
pf Lee
c Okefur
6th Chandler/Douglas
That is a worldbeater. Instantaneously. Stacked for the future. In The Garden.
The greatest player in the world becoming a 21st century Mailman with a legit PG backup.
A scorching, shooting pure SG with quality, dynamic backups off the
A CLUTCH, improving sharpshooting, defensive-minded, high-IQ forward.
A proven, still-improving ALLSTAR powerforward who held down @FCKING CENTRR and can pass and compliment like a mofo.
A large, blocking and rebounding machine at center with core-talent.
Donnie&Walsh will sell this to Lebron. He would be a damn fool to refuse.
Team of the preset. Team of the future. O -- he won't exactly be staring at cattle and oggling moose-skin-wearing-women either...no, but NYC/Garden>>>>>>>>>>>other venues.
Gg. 5-7+ dynasty.
Tell me Lebron won't want. What isn't emminently doable of it.

^ You think LeBrons going to leave Cleveland, where he's won 60+ last few seasons, because we have David Lee? .. I know Cleveland is aging, and they haven't been able to close the deal... But it is going to take a lot for James to leave the Cavs and that lineup I don't think would cut it... Unless he's already set on leaving... but weighing the different options, I can't see him looking at that line up and what he has now and thinking, 'i need to head to nyc to win' ... i can see him signing a 3 yr extension befoer that...
if we want to land James we need to sign a FA he wants, show him we will have something for him to win with.. other than Gallo/Chandler/Douglas..
And I agree w what New New York said, no FA's in the playoffs are going to make any inclination about leaving a team at a time like this... if anything, they're going to do what he did, and pledge alliances to the team your fighting to win with..
Things have a tendency to change when your swept and/or out of the playoffs..
it's going to be no easy summer though for Donnie... he's going to have to really work some magic... he's done all the right moves, but the most important part is still ahead.
People might be against it but i like rajan bell at a vet min ... He's a pretty good defender plus already knows mikes system...donnie is going to be up all night on july 1st making calls .. Remember guys we had many holes on this team now come july a big name free agent or not the positions played are going to be balanced
Nothing is free in the NBA....not even water
Starks.....In 2007-8 the Indiana Pacers roster was 10 times easier than the Knicks to lower the cap-space for 2 max contracts by 2010.
G.M. Larry Bird had to decline Walsh 2010 Plan for the Pacers, knowing from experience that it takes coaches, drafts, and trades to build a contender in the NBA. Rather than spend two years breaking down a team and then spend another two or three years trying to put together a playoff team.
All of you alleged Knick fans on here make me sick. You're all just getting nervous now that the offseason is coming up and you are beginning to realize that these Free Agents this offseason actually have free will to sign where they like.
Donnie made these moves because it is the best chance we have to win in the near future. You need a top 5 pick, at least, to get a player you can build a playoff contender around and we aren't going to get that in the draft.
Lebron is the big catch, and we should be happy that we are even in the running for him. LEBRON IS THE BEST PLAYER EVER TO TOUCH A BASKETBALL. We are the only other team who has a chance at him, he is either staying or going to New York, period.
If Joe Johnson wanted to stay in ATL that badly, he wouldn't have rejected 3 contract extensions offered to him this year.
The negativity and pool of ideas to trade for mediocre players to play out of position makes me wonder if you have been watching the knicks for so long, all of you people have forgot what a winning team looks like.
It's always, "well Cleveland wins 60 games". But that's directly
and essentially JUST because OF Lebron!
Cleveland is a dumpster roster Bron aside (Jameson is a nice piece tho, but he's old and aging and recent -- Lebron was having the Cavs contend & rock 60 long before)
If lebron wants Bosh vs Lee by all means...but I don't think he necessarily does.
The lineup above rapes Clevelands and frankly any other team in the
NBA. Only the lakers could challenge in power, but they are mad aging and injuryprone.
If lebron wants sf vs pg it's fine too. Gallo becomes the best and
most lethal 6th man in the game and we trade Chandler to go along with curry/picks to get an even richer deal. Or just trade him sans
curry. Either way he's a nice, tangible asset.
Okefor, Lee (@PF!), Morrows, Gallo, Chandler, Douglas, Walker, Serg...RAPES clevelands roster even with Jameson AND it's significantly younger
and infinitely more primed for even greater growth. Let alone with Lebron on it.
Maybe I'm too optimistic, but the ignominy of our recent Knicks aside, and Clevelands majesty because Lebron is there...why wouldn't he come
to a more talented, young team in NYC?
Unless you think Clevelands lineup going forward would be superior to the one I names, which is fine, i just don't see it by a longshot. Not in immediate power, let alone talent and longterm growth and dynasty-implications.

Engaging time and distance
March 6, 2013 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — Time waits for no one as it hurtles by.
A week ago this column was anticipating the looming Section IX basketball tournament and the state indoor track meet. Both are now history. Time figured strongly in both sports, albeit in different ways.
In the 3200 run by Eldred senior Alex Campanella at the state meet, the stalwart Yellow Jacket, the reigning Section IX champion in the event, finished sixth in New York State with a lifetime best of 9:25.60. Campanella, who is bound for DePaul University in the fall, finished behind five runners from larger schools, all of whom will be classified as Division I contenders this spring (600 students or more in grades 9-11). Indoor track has no such size demarcations. Campanella will vie only against Division II adversaries (schools with fewer than 600 students grades 9-11) when the state meet takes place at Middletown High School on June 7. Distance also figures in when it comes to track, not just in races but in events in which athletes, throw or jump. Linear measures are used in long jump, triple jump and shot put, while measures of height define the high jump and pole vault.
Sullivan West junior Mitch Paciga posted a high jump mark of 6-2 to take 11th. The winning jump was 6-10. Tri-Valley's Aric Boyes and Mareena DiMilia vied in the shot put. Boyes, who is the Section IX champion in the event, took 10th with a mark of 48-10.75. The winning throw was 60-1; DiMilia threw 34-3.5 for 23rd place. The top girls' throw was 44-0.25.
In girls basketball, the number-two seeded Livingston Manor Lady Wildcats (6-10) brought off a timely title victory over number-one seeded Eldred in the Section IX Class D finals as they held on to win 26-19. Manor, the defending Section IX champion, advances to the state Final Four for the second consecutive year, this time for a semifinal clash with the winner of the quarterfinal between Sections III and IV. Last year, Manor beat Roscoe, then vanquished Shelter Island 56-19 before losing to Argyle 53-26. The Lady Wildcats had their day in the sun with a state softball title in the spring, as did the baseball team in the high-water mark of Manor sports history. Eldred (6-10) was paced by Jessica Schips, who had nine points. Manor's Imani Miranda led her team with eight.

The comparison is made about when someone sows good seeds in a field which are stolen by the enemy, which led not only the wheat seeds sprouting but also in the empty space weeds appeared. When the workers approached the master about uprooting the weeds, he decided to leave them because then the wheat sprouts might also be removed by their proximity. His suggestion was to leave all growing until the harvest when the reaper would first collect the weeds in bundles to be burned and then gather the wheat.
The disciples question Jesus, who explains that in the world there is good and evil. Compare the children of the world as the good seeds among which might exist the evil or weeds. Even weeds might become good weeds. Thus people who might sin can change by thew ay they respond to show waht they are when they let God back in their lives.
One is not as holy as one thinks they are. What can one do to make themselves as the wheat instead of the weeds? So that one will not be burned as the weeds, one must have the ability to recognize one has choices. If one messes up, God doesn't turn his back. As followers of Jesus, one can look at their own actions, good and bad. God promises to listen when one confesses their sins and assures forgiveness, wherein one can look at sins and take steps to avoid repeating them.
God has not turned away from the problems which exist in the Ukraine and Russia, for those in Israel or for the immigrants from Central America. As situations escalate, one must decide what one can do and not just sit on the sidelines. Steps an individual can take would begin with prayer, study the Word, live life as God would want, and don't stand in judgment of those with problems.
Distinguishing between good and evil is not for humans to do, but rather reserved for the Son of Man at the end of the age. God helps one to do what is right by securing healing for the wounded, giving food tot he strangers who are hungry, providing clothing for the needy, and securing for the homeless a place to lay their heads.

Thanks Rosie. Wish the Dodgers would paint the seat where Kirk Gibson's 1988 World Series homerun landed. I think they might not be sure exactly where it landed but talking with fans that sat there, zooking in on pictures, video they could determine this.

Hi ladies,
I am going back to work when my LO will be 8 months. I have never really pumped (only had a hand pump that I used infrequently). I have been using my friend's Swing once a day, but I am worried that a single electric won't be enough for pumping and working (I will be away from LO for about 8.5 hours, 5 days a week).
So, I am wondering if I really should get a double electric (seems like a lot of $$$ but maybe worth it - I don't know?).
If so, which pump do you think is better, the Freestyle or PISA? I have really liked the Swing, if that helps.
Thanks in advance!!

The Woods is a trilogy of video installations by renowned South African artist Candice Breitz that takes a close look at the world of child performers and the performance of childhood in order to probe the dreams and promises embedded in mainstream cinema. Consistent with Breitz�s interest in the role that mimicry plays in the forging of selfhood and her ongoing analysis of the circular relationship between real life and reel life, The Woods traverses three continents to explore the rituals and conventions governing the on camera and off-camera personae of professional child actors, as well as adult actors who have become famous playing child roles. The trilogy brings together footage shot in Los Angeles, Mumbai and Lagos, seeking to observe and grasp the aspirational logic that is shared by Hollywood, Bollywood and Nollywood. Engaging actors and crews whose creative labor would ordinarily be subsumed into these three giant popular cinema industries, the three chapters of The Woods bring a behind the-scenes eye to industries that typically prefer to mask their inner workings.

Hello jamesbond & Billtoo
I get the same problem with some MPEG2 files that are on UDF 1.5 formatted DVD+RW disks that were written 4 to 9 years ago.
I think the drive attempts to read them at 12x but, from time to time, it hits a rough spot and has to slow down to 4x a re-read a sector. This takes some time and flashing of the green LED to do. My Lite-on drive carries on at low speed for a while and then gets over confident and speeds up again, until the same thing happens again.
I think most media players buffer large amounts of data, which helps with seeking too, so they don't have a problem. VLC doesn't seem to do that. The preferences have "file cache" and "disk cache" both set to 300ms. I tried increasing them, but it didn't seem to make any difference.
If I have a problem, I just copy the MPEG file to the hard disk, which works much better. My recent recordings are all on an external hard disk.
I expect configuring the the driver to limit the read speed to 4x would also work, but that would interfere with normal file operations.

Hello jamesbond
I have an AMD laptop and in my case setting it to performance all the time makes the laptop running hotter.
I have just tried uncommenting the performance section in rc.local but it looks as though that configuration is incorrect because the idle power consumption increases too much.
Here are the figures:
Default UT 95 SDF 1 Idle 41.5 Watts Max Video 57.2 Watts
Mine UT 80 SDF 10 Idle 41.0 Watts Max Video 56.7 Watts
performance Idle 52.3 Watts Max Video 75.2 Watts.
That's not right. It indicates that power management is not working at all with the performance governor.
On Pemasu's Upup Precise 3.7.2
performance Idle 42 Watts.
That has a fixed frequency of 2800MHz but still can idle. Which is what the performance governor should do.
I have a desktop PC connected to an energy meter, so I can see what is happening. Those figures are wallplug power for the box.
I have just tried the taskbar tool that Pemasu posted and that behaves correctly in performance mode.
performance Idle 43.5 Watts Max Video 57.4 Watts.
That's more like it should be.

Seems o.k. so far. Haven't noticed the filesave getting smaller when copying files to drives, which I was having a problem with in beta2. Also the package manager doesn't go crazy when not connected to the internet, like it did in beta2.
The Inkscape .pet doesn't seem to work, which doesn't make much of a difference to me since I never use Inkscape and prefer Gimp. But I noticed it has a 2.6 version of Gimp, I wish it had a newer version (yes, I know someone already did make a package which I can install). I really don't like 2.6, it won't even resize the windows properly.

Thanks for the info. I'm dumbfounded by the difference of power consumption between the script in rc.local and the tray applet because they (eventually) boils down to the same thing. Anyway, I'm glad that the applet works.
Glad to see that the usb flash drive works so far. Inkscape requires libgsl, which should be pulled automatically if you use the package manager. Once libgsl is installed, inkscape then works. As for gimp, it will probably stay as is for now, not going through major package update just before final.

Hello jamesbond
There is one thing with the applet that needs fixing:
It does not run the performance script at startup. So you end up back with ondemand even though the icon says you are in performance.
When you change governor via the icon the script runs normally.

Thanks for the video boot-time parm. Seems to have stopped the lost of video upon return to an idle system. System has been responsive without video lost/lockup for several days. Can access all Ctrl-Alt sessions continuous.
One of the products that was presented by you was a "Netboot Server". This is a script which allows FATDOG to "serve" a boot image to another PC on the LAN who wished to boot.
In that implementation, the server ran, and a script provided by you will setup a PUP ISO for any LAN PC to boot via the server.
Is there a chance that the "server" could be added to the Control Panel's "Manager Servers and Services".
It would be utilized in many various real and virtual uses for PC system tests/operations.

Welcome back
Forgot to say thanks for your source files. I look at it, it looks simple enough, perhaps it can be replaced with technosaurus' "sit" (simple icon tray") - which is included in Fatdog?
Glad that the video issues are resolved.
Thanks for raising the issue on netboot server.
"Netboot Server" as known in Fatdog's previous life will not make a comeback, nor will the pet. However, its functionality is now included in Fatdog out of the box, although it *does* need some configuration work.
So what's available? For a start, Fatdog comes with a pre-configured dnsmasq configuration file, for net-booting, called "dnsmasq.conf.netboot". This file contains the gist of the configuration used by the previous "Netboot Server" - dnsmasq run with this configuration file will behave identically with the original "Netboot Server". By default, this file is configured to serve netboot files to VirtualBox guests using "Host-only" network interface.
All that one needs to do is two easy steps:
a) copy all the usual netboot files to /var/lib/tftp.
This includes:
- copying "pxelinux.0" (available from /usr/share/syslinux), and
- creating "pxelinux.cfg" directory underneath it, and
- creating "default" configuration file inside this pxelinux.cfg directory, and
- copying the actual ISO / kernel / initrd / other files you want to boot, as needed, inside the pxelinux.cfg directory too.
b) start the dnsmasq by typing this "dnsmasq -k -C /etc/dnsmasq.conf.netboot" on terminal. Once you're done with dnsmasq you can kill it with Ctrl-C. If you want to automatically start this at boot, add that line to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (without the -k option).
/etc/dnsmasq.conf.netboot is heavily commented and should be easy to modify for use to boot real systems on real network interfaces (instead of VirtualBox guests) --- the file contains markers of where things should be changed if you want to boot real systems.
The reason why /var/lib/tftp and its subdirectories are not included by default in Fatdog is because it is *not* the correct place to put netboot files. It is there as an *example* only. One should specify a location *outside* savefile (e.g. /mnt/home/tftp or something) for the actual storage of netboot files, as they can be very large.
The old "Netboot Server" pet also contains a tool called "mknetboot.sh". The purpose of this quick-and-dirty script was just to embed puppy's base SFS to initrd (making a humongous initrd). This tool is not supported anymore (and thus not included in Fatdog) for the following reasons:
a) Proliferation of SFS files needed to boot puppy (not only pup.sfs, now we have zdrive.sfs, adrive.sfs, etc etc), and different puppies have different configuration of SFSes.
b) Some puppies will not netboot even if you put all those SFS inside the initrd, because --- well they simply don't support netboot, even if you make a humongous initrd out of them.
Time has changed. When I first released mknetboot.sh, most puppies only have one SFS and most of them supports netbooting via humongous inird, so such tool (though very limited) was useful. Today, not so. As such, I consider that providing such tool is not a help, it is in fact a source of unnecessary confusion and disappointment.
My take is this: if one wants to do netboot, make sure to get a netboot capable OS, and then learn how to setup the system properly.
Oh and dnsmasq will not be featured in the control panel as a service too, for the simple reason that it *requires* configuration before it can work - there is no sane default which can be used. (One can't just click "start service" and expect the netboot to work. It won't). In addition, dnsmasq is a very versatile daemon and can be used for many purposes (not only for netboot); in fact, one can run multiple instances of dnsmasq serving different purposes (by having each of them points to a different dnsmasq.conf file). A complete, fully-commented /etc/dnsmasq.conf.example is provided for those who want / need to use dnsmasq's other features. Anyone who needs to use dnsmasq regularly as a service should be able to write a simple service files in /etc/init.d themselves, perhaps by making a copy of existing service files and then modify it to start dnsmasq instead.

How do you combine French and chemistry with forensics, flute and community service? Sarah Brady '08 found the answer at North Central College.
When Brady was searching for the right college, she never dreamed she'd end up at a small school. A native of Oshkosh, WI, she wanted to double major in French and chemistry and found that many large schools were not open to this unique combination. While the family visited Illinois, her father convinced her to attend a Visit Day at North Central. She was impressed with study abroad programs, knowing that she wanted to study in France. After her tour, she was convinced that North Central was the school for her.
"I was sold, and my dad still won't let me forget it!" Brady says.
She jumped right into new activities. On the forensics team, she has specialized in informative speaking and has advanced to the state, regional and national levels. In March, she was named an American Forensics Association All-American, an award based on forensics success, community service and academic achievement. She also competes on the debate team and was named a state champion, along with her team partner, Cathi Martin '08.
She studied abroad in Angers, France, and now serves as a study abroad student ambassador, speaking to students about her experience. Brady also takes flute lessons and works in the Office of Admission as a student ambassador, staying in touch with prospective students from Wisconsin. She has participated in Habitat for Humanity trips to West Virginia and Mississippi and, most recently, led a trip to Tacoma, WA. "I learned it's much more than building houses," Brady says.
She is a member of Student Affiliates of the American Chemistry Society and she presented a research paper at the Rall Symposium for Undergraduate Research titled "Re-thinking Political Influence in Scientific Controversies," based on one of her award-winning forensics speeches about government interference in scientific research.
"I didn't want to drop anything," Brady says of her extensive campus involvement. "I wanted to make the most of my time and take advantage of these opportunities."
This fall, Brady will attend graduate school at the University of Oregon to focus on green chemistry, a field that encourages sustainability and environmental consciousness. She hopes to work for a company that has ties to France. "I want to find a job I love and apply what I've learned and keep learning. I want to make an impact on my community," she says.
Reflecting on her time at North Central, Brady says, "It's important to step outside the box and do things you're not initially interested in, because those might turn out to be your favorite things." Brady learned this lesson early and it looks like giving a small school a chance has been one of her most successful adventures yet.

Tony Reagins Named the Angels' GM
Tony Reagins succeeds Bill Stoneman as the Angels' general manager.
Twenty-four hours ago, when the news broke that Bill Stoneman would retire today as the Angels' general manager, the early speculation was split on his successor. The likely candidate was assistant general manager Ken Forsch, a former major leaguer, although some media reported rumors that farm director Tony Reagins would get the job.
I figured it would be Forsch, since he has such a long and impressive career — he played in the major leagues, he ran the farm system at one time, and he's been Stoneman's right-hand man for eight years.
It turned out to be Reagins.
As I wrote in yesterday's blog, Forsch has the far superior resumé. So I'm looking forward to the newspaper reports which might explain why Reagins got the offer.
The press conference was streamed on the MLB.com web site. A tearful Stoneman was overcome by emotion many times. Reagins then came to the stage, apparently moved by Stoneman's breakdown, and commented, "This is a family."
Reagins thanked those who'd helped him along the way, said that Forsch and special assistant Gary Sutherland would remain, and then the media asked a few questions.
When asked when he was first approached about the job, Tony said it was a week ago. Moreno contacted him to talk about the position. Left unsaid was whether others were interviewed or even considered.
One reporter asked Moreno whether this move meant manager Mike Scioscia would have more say on player personnel decisions. Arte said yes, a surprising answer, because the expected answer would be that Reagins is in charge.
It may be that they're going to a model similar to how the farm system was run the last few years. Although Reagins was nominally the decision-maker, in reality he relied heavily on field coordinator Bruce Hines, his roving instructors, his manager and coaches. Reagins never played the game professionally, has no more than a little scouting experience, made no draft-day decisions (that was Eddie Bane's department) and to my knowledge has never even spent time in a dugout during a regular season game. He may have managed the farm system, but he didn't teach. That was left to the professionals.
So Reagins may be leaning heavily on Scioscia, Forsch, Sutherland, a consulting Stoneman, and everyone else on the Baseball Operations side of the business.
Don't expect the organizational philosophy to change. They're not going to be tricked into buying the Moneyball snake oil. They're not going to flush the farm system for a quick fix. They're not going to blow the payroll to spend "whatever it takes" to get Alex Rodriguez.
The unknown in my mind is when Reagins is across the table from other GMs or agents like Scott Boras. Stoneman showed the patience and discipline not to give in to tempation and instant gratification. Without a strong background, Reagins may feel he needs to make a splash with some sort of spectacular move that gets him headlines for a few days but in the long run may harm the organization's long-term interests.
Despite what a few nuts are claiming on fan boards, this organization from top to bottom is in the best shape of its 47-year existence. It doesn't need to fixed, much less overhauled. The Colorado Rockies have proven how stupid it would be to flush the farm or blow the budget. (More on that in a later blog entry.) Reagins may need to be no more than a caretaker for the next few years and reap the harvest from the player development system he'd managed since 2002.
1 Comment
"Fear" and "trepidation" don't quite cover the raw terror I'm experiencing right now. I realize it's trendy to hire brilliant young guns to run your club but passing over a solid baseball man (along with Stephen's observation of Arte's answer that Scioscia would have more personnel control) like Forsch looks like this was a way to hire a "yes" man into the position. I hope I'm wrong but my fear is that a schism may have developed between Stoneman and Moreno last winter when Moreno's promise of a spectacular personnel move did not come to fruition. Stoneman, of course, was proven correct in that pitching and depth were more important than overpaying some burned out has-been.
I just hope flash doesn't win out over content. I've kinda liked winning this decade. It's, like, better than losing has been all the years BS (before Stoneman).

I am very frustrated- please help if anyone can. My son is 12 days old and in the last 6 days or so has been displaying signs of having major gas trouble. When he tries to sleep on his back, he wiggles, squeals (bad squeals), makes "monster noises" and basically is restless and can't sleep. I give him credit, he doesn't cry, he's just trying to "work though it" or something for hours. I feel so badly for him as this is just hours and hours of not sleeping and doing this wiggle thing for him.
I try burping him while he nurses (between one breast and the other) and he just isn't a burper. My doctor said he's too young for mylicon... I've tried putting him on his stomach and rubbing his back, bicycling his legs, etc etc. What am I doing wrong? How can I help him? Sometimes he'll fall asleep with his chest on my chest, but I can't let him continue that because of SIDS and the fact that I need to sleep and can't watch him to make sure he's safe.
I've thought of 3 things it might be but have some questions:
1) is lower intestine gas the same as upper gas? In other words, is it possible that his lack of burping etc is traveling down and creating lower bowel gas? If so, how do I get him to burp?
2) Is it possible that he is taking in air while he is nursing and that is giving him this gas? When he nurses, I usually hear a few air/milk bubble gurgles (like 3 or 4 times during each nursing session) where it seems air is traveling down to his belly. I don't know how, as he is latched, but perhaps through air in his nose? I've tried propping him up more so his head is above his body hoping that made him take in less air but a few of these air/milk bubbles still happen each nursing session.
3) Possibly Foods I'm eating? At this point, I'm really hungry because I'm afraid to eat anything. The things I have had each day are peaches, turkey and a bagel (I've eaten other things, too, but the last 3 days or so I have had these things each day).
As for gripe water etc- I live out in nowhere and don't know where I'd find that stuff. Does it help anyway?
I don't think I have an OALD problem as I have never leaked milk and he doesn't choke. Sometimes he takes himself off of the breast while wiggling, but it doesn't seem to be because of that.
Please help! I'm concerned for my little guy and probably wouldn't mind some sleep myself. Thank you- this forum is wonderful!

DD has been kind of a mess today... she has only slept about 10 hours in the past 24, has been super fussy and nursing every 1 1/2 hours it seems... Last time she did this was about 2 weeks ago and DH and I figured it was her 3-month growth spurt then, but she's only 15 weeks now so isn't it too early for another one? Maybe it's just comfort nursing?
I had one moment today where I actually thought "Maybe she isn't getting enough and I should supplement with a bottle of frozen..." Then I said to myself, "What would the forum ladies suggest?" Hence, no bottle.

Lock and Load, Welcome to Fenway…
The showdown resumes…
The Yankees begin a three game series with the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Friday night. After losing the first 8 games of the season series to the Red Sox, the Yankees rebounded during the last four game set to sweep the series from the Red Sox. So, here we are on August 20th, and the Yankees hold a 6 ½ game lead over the Red Sox. At the All-Star Break, I said that the Yankees just needed to win four more games than the Red Sox. They have done that and then some, but the key is to hold the lead. This weekend's series can go a long ways toward deciding the eventual 2009 AL East Champion.
For the latest series, I have once again made a wager bet with Julia of Julia's Rants. I so enjoyed finally emerging victorious during the last series, and I have to admit that Julia impressed me with her "payment" for the loss. She wrote a fantastic Top 11 about positive Yankee statements, and her photos with the Yankees flag attached to her SUV were exactly as required under the terms and conditions of our bet. For the latest series, we have decided to retain the Top 11 post (once again the credit goes to Jimmy Curran for the idea) but for the second part, we have opted to spending a day wearing the opposing team's ballcap. I do recognize that Julia is at a disadvantage since it would be more painful to wear a Yankees cap in Boston than it would be wearing a Red Sox cap in the San Francisco Bay Area. So, I will toss in an extra. If the Yankees lose the series, I will wear the pink Red Sox hat for a day following a day of wearing the traditional Red Sox cap. Not that I intend to lose, but I recognize that Julia needs a handicap. So, Julia, my friend, game on!
The latest road trip, so far, has been successful for the Yanks. They took 3 of 4 from the Mariners in Seattle, and 2 of 3 from the A's in Oakland. I attended the second game in Oakland, and had a few observations. I knew that CC Sabathia was a big guy, but seeing him close-up as he warmed up prior to the game, I'd have to say that the dude is absolutely huge.
After seeing a few games at AT&T Park in San Francisco, it was somewhat of a disappointment to go to Oakland Coliseum. My wife and I took BART up to the stadium, and my first thought was that the "drive up" appeal of the stadium was sorely lacking compared to AT&T Park. As you approach the stadium, you quickly realize that you are in Raiders territory. I hate to knock a stadium, but after a year that has seen my attendance at AT&T Park, the new Yankees Stadium and Oriole Park at Camden Yards, I'd have to say that Oakland Coliseum is a major letdown. I am optimistic that the A's relocate to San Jose, so we'll see. They definitely need a new home. Back to the game, I was disappointed when CC gave up a home run to catcher Kurt Suzuki after throwing a brushback pitch. But the disappointment was short lived as the scoreboard announced that my section and row had won a free pizza from Roundtable Pizza as a result of the home run. Hey, c'mon, it's pizza! The game remained tight until the sixth inning when the Yanks finally broke through with 5 runs, and eventually won 7-2. The crowd was very pro-Yankees as the chants of "Let's Go Yankees!" drowned out the cries of "Let's Go Oakland!".
There were many Derek Jeter jerseys in attendance. I like DJ and I know that he's headed for Cooperstown, but I've never fully understood the attraction that DJ has on fans. Personally, I prefer watching the home run guys, like Mark Teixeira. It's not that I wouldn't want Jeter on my team (I do), but I don't see the power he has over women. I heard one older woman Red Sox fan (not Julia, she's not old!) once say, "I hate Derek Jeter, but he's so cute". I don't get it.
My wife took this photo with her cell phone and posted it on Facebook. It was amazing how many people thought this was an actual photo from the stadium. It does look kind of real though…
So, with Boston's win over Toronto tonight, the Yankees arrive at Fenway Park with a 6 ½ game lead. Regardless of what happens, they'll leave Boston in first place. But will the Red Sox be close enough that Julia can return to her "obnoxious" ways (j/k), or will the Yankees put further distance between them and the boys from Beantown. This is 'to be determined' but I can assure you that I do not intend to wear a pink hat!
The San Diego Padres have apparently accepted cash from the Yankees for pitcher Chad Gaudin in lieu of the player to be named later. Considering that the cost was only $100K, I suppose that meant GM Brian Cashman just had to reach into petty cash to settle the account. Rumor has it that the Accounting Department doesn't know how to write any checks with 6 figures or less. LOL!
So, the St. Louis Cardinals are counting on John Smoltz to help them stave off the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central? Yikes! Good luck with that. Then again, the Yankees are going with the two-headed monster of Mitre/Gaudin so I guess I have no room to talk…
Yes, it's off topic but how can I resist making comment about new Vikings QB Brett Favre. As you may (or may not) know, I am a die-hard Vikings fan. I have been one all my life, and it has been a roller coaster ride. I resigned as a Vikings fan when they made Bob Lee the starting QB following Sir Francis Tarkenton's retirement. But I came back around with Tommy Kramer.
The Dallas Cowboys were always my second favorite team, so I followed them in those in-between years. But fast forward to present day, the QB position has always been very important to me. I had been a big fan of Dante Culpepper's and it was disappointing when his Vikings career ended because of the knee injury and a difference in philosophy with coach Brad Childress. It has been frustrating to see ex-Vikings go elsewhere and thrive, like Rich Gannon previously in Oakland, Shaun Hill in San Francisco or even Tyler Thigpen who started a few games for the Chiefs last season. I was never a fan of Tavaris Jackson, and I was somewhat skeptical of Sage Rosenfels. The only connection I have with Rosenfels is that we are both native Iowans, like Kurt Warner. I like John David Booty, but I do wonder if he'll ever achieve professional success. So, I am begrudgingly warming up to the idea that Brett Favre is now the Vikings starting QB.
Elizabeth Flores/Star Tribune
The 2009 Vikings have the most talent of any Vikings team that I've seen since at least 1998. All the pieces to the puzzle are in place for a great year…except QB, until now. Perhaps Favre comes out and repeats his performance with the New York Jets last year (great start, but fizzle down the end), but conversely, there is a chance that he could replicate his final season with the Green Bay Packers. So, based on that, I do feel that I have to give him a chance. If anything, it has to be a great learning experience for Jackson, Rosenfels and Booty to be around Favre. Granted, one of those guys will probably be holding a clipboard for a different team when the regular season starts, but there is value in Favre's presence among the other QB's. Maybe Favre should have considered 'Just For Men' but then again, if memory serves correctly, Kenny Stabler had grey hair in defeating the Vikings in the 1977 Super Bowl. Not one of my fondest memories…
Nevertheless, I'll give #4 a chance. I am not ready to mail in my fan membership. But, hey, my expectations are only 'Super Bowl or Bust'…
Hey Julia, we're coming for you! Get ready for that Yankees cap! J

Scott – you know, I am going to love seeing you out and about in the Bay area in your Pink Red Sox Hat! The Red Sox? This is NOT the same team your guys played a few weeks ago – GAME ON my friend! And I hope your Vikings enjoy watching my Patriots play in the Super Bowl!
Looks like there is going to be a brawl between the Yankees and Red Sox! Sweet. Hey in 07 the Indians beat the Yankees in the ALDS but lost to the Sox in the ALCS. So even though we lost to the Sox I gotta say, go Julia! And the Browns are going to be in the super bowl. JKJKJK.
Go BROWNS, and INDIANS!
Hey, Scott …
I look forward to another big weekend for the Yankees at Fenway Park with the Yanks winning at least two of the three games !!!
Good luck and best wishes for another series win for the Yankees, and, also, for you to win back-to-back wagers with Julia !!! … Julia did excellent work on her "Top 11" list of positive things about the Yankees; I look forward to a second "Top 11" list from her, of even more geat things about our New York Yankees !!!
Take care, Scott !!! … Enjoy the games this weekend !!!
Go Yankees !!!

"Super Bowl or bust", jeez, your Yankees fandom is spilling over into your Vikings fandom😉 Personally, I've resigned myself to the fact that the Favre saga will be entertaining no matter what happens. He might lead the Purple to their first-ever SB title, and that would be great. But if he fails, he's going to be a spectacular failure on a level that we're not accustomed to, even from the Vikes. Either way, it's going to make for some compelling football this season. -Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.blogspot.com

Helping a Honesdale youth
August 24, 2011 —
After coming across a poster describing the struggles of Peter Freshour, a 2009 graduate of Honesdale High School who has been diagnosed with Wilson Disease and cirrhosis of the liver, Vanessa DeGori decided she needed to help. "As the mother of three healthy boys, I am aware of how lucky and blessed my husband and I are," she said.
Wilson Disease is a rare inherited disorder that affects the liver and can eventually impact the kidneys, brain and eyes. Peter will need a transplant in 10 to 15 years and faces monthly medication costs of $1,800. There are six children in the family.
"On September 3, I will be walking 10 miles from Narrowsburg, NY to my home in Damascus, PA to bring awareness to this disease and to help the family with their medical bills," said DeGori, who has begun collecting donations at her business, the Milanville General Store on River Road. She has set a goal of at least $1,000.
DeGori has done other community fundraisers in the past and thanked the many patrons who have come into her store and donated more than $900 so far. "My customers are always the most generous people," she said.
All donations will be given to the Freshour family to help with medical costs. Donations can be made to Honesdale National Bank, account 1380382103, or dropped off at The Milanville Store or sent to Vanessa DeGori, P.O. Box 7, Milanville PA 18443.

Gown: Brenda
Date of wedding: April 20, 2013
Photographer: Eau Claire Photographics
Hot tip: The best feeling is when your new husband weeks and even months after the wedding still says its the one of the best days he ever had. That's when you know you did the day justice.So, soak up all the luxury and lavishness of the day you've spent months even years creating because it's a day when your unique vision, and all your decisions and dreams become a reality.
What they loved: What I loved most about my dress was that I was able to make it my own. I met Henry the day I purchased my dress at a trunk show and he was nice enough to to let alter aspects of the gown and develop my vision with him. The structure of the gown was ideal for my body type and I loved the subtle detail. I added custom cap sleeves and it really complemented the diamond white fabric.The dress ended up being for my New Orleans USA wedding.
