Jessica Alba, Kerry Washington, More Shine At Power Of Women Luncheon
Some of Hollywood's most prominent women attended the 5th Annual Variety's Power of Women Luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on Friday.
Actresses commended for their philanthropic work included Amy Poehler, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Kerry Washington, Elizabeth Banks, and Jennifer Hudson.
Poehler joked, "Giving to charity is good for your skin. And it makes your (butt) smaller."
Guest Jessica Alba told the crowd: "If you're blessed with a platform and access to pop culture and media, and you have the heart, being able to raise awareness for things that you care about is amazing."
The ladies who were honored for their good deeds always seem to look good doing it.

By Nick White and Chris Carmichael The complexity of triathlon is one of its most alluring attributes.

I don't know why Majandra Delfino was my first thought. Too early, need back up…ReplyCancel
Much better guess, Tricia!ReplyCancel

god could you imagine
"Mayim honey we want our child to be just like Blossom! we are huge faNS!"
Gawd Chloe would be worse–
"you were SO inspiring in The Brown Bunny…"
@Tricia—The local Good Will store wouldn't accept those hats lolReplyCancel
Mayim is on BBT, has a Ph.d, two kids, and is already making six figures, so it is not her.
Majandra is foreign born, which I'm sure Enty would have liked to mention, and married with kids.
I have trouble with the whole "strange name" thing. What is strange, anyway?ReplyCancel
Mayim just began as the host of Candid Camera on TVland. Not herReplyCancel
Busy Phillips is married with baby, no?ReplyCancel
I don't think we've gotten it yet. Only TV actress with a recent flop that I can think of is Sarah Michelle Gellar, but it can't be her. Who are the TV actresses gay guys fawn over? Sarah Jessica Parker is one, but she's too old and used a surrogate for the twins.ReplyCancel
It's got to be someone with genes you'd want to replicate. I agree with Candy. It hasn't been guessed yet.ReplyCancel
I prefer this Chloe. She's endearing & untainted by Vincent Gallo's light brown bunny tail.
I like the Minka guess, but only because I would pay to try and knock her up. First I would have to use her butt to expell some of these "near their expiration date" swimmers lingering in my junk. Then after some recuperation, I would deposit a fresh batch in the baby hole.ReplyCancel

Having said that, I do think you, me and Nate Berkus would make a lovely little family. Our apartment would be beautifully decorated, our bookshelves organized by Dewey Decimal System and the ice cube trays would always be full.
It's your loss.
Nice one. Swedish beauty too.ReplyCancel
@Cathryn Chandler
I just read that Chloë Sevigny's latest TV series was cancelled after ten episodes, so I'm jumping on board with your guess.
With her art-house background and fashion cred, I can definitely see her having gay fans.
If it is her, apparently Enty's definition of a "strange name" is anything not Anglo-Saxon.
I'd be glad to lube the chute for Minka or Malin to help the delivery go easier. I would also help out with Chloe or Maggie Q but wouldn't be as enthusiast.
The Mayim guesses were way off base because she just signed a new BBT multi year contract and is also doing Candid Camera.
I'm not sure she fits 100% but I could see a gay couple wanting her DNA – Samaire Armstrong.ReplyCancel

text: Just because the snow has melted doesn't mean you can't enjoy your favorite resort. In fact, the weeks between closing day and the start of summer operations are primetime to visit the mountains at a fraction of what it would cost during high season. If you know where to look, you can find incredible discounts at hotels, restaurants and local boutiques. Even better, you'll have the entire place practically to yourself. This year's unseasonably warm temps and early snowmelt has an upside. It means hiking and biking trails are clear and ready to explore; waterfalls and rivers are raging with spring runoff and the golf courses are open. So pack up the car and head to the hills for a discounted long weekend. Here are a just a few hot lodging deals around the country.

I had a late night with my 10 month old and the day I have feared has arrived. I forgot to pack up all the parts for my pump as I stumbled out the door for work. I have my pump and storage bags, that's it!
I am part of a vanpool and going home was not an option (on top of the fact home is about 2 hours away). I REALLY did not want to go purchase more parts since I am planning on purchasing a new pump next pay day. SOOOO, I had once came across a LLL forum mom who had told her story about "milking" herself...no pump of any kind involved. I thought I would give it a try...
Did you ever milk this kind of cow?
Well, we can do it.
We know how.
If you never did, you should.
These things are fun and fun is good.
It took me an hour to get 5 ozs. UGH!

- Abstract
- Solid-phase crystallisation (SPC) of Si films on glass prepared by three deposition methods, plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD), electron-beam evaporation, and a combination of both, are compared for different annealing temperatures. Three independent techniques, optical transmission microscopy, UV reflectance spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction, are used to characterise the crystallisation kinetics and film properties. The activation energy for the incubation is estimated to be 2.7–3.0 eV. The scanning electron microscopy images of polycrystalline Si films after Secco etching show a gradually decreasing average grain size in each film type for higher SPC temperatures. The crystal quality of all film types degrades at higher crystallisation temperatures. Solar cells fabricated from these polycrystalline Si films were characterised by Suns-Voc and spectral response measurements. According to both the resulting open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current, the electronic quality of all polycrystalline Si film types and the corresponding cell performance degrade for higher crystallisation temperatures but to a different extent depending on the film deposition method.

After Rainout, All Things Good…
The first game of the Yankees home series against the Oakland A's was postponed due to rain, and will be made up in July. Fortunately, there was much better weather on hand for Tuesday.
The Yankees emerged victorious, with a 5-3 victory. Andy Pettitte (2-0) was the winning pitcher, and most notably, he did not give up any home runs. Johnny Damon hit the day's only home run in the ballpark which has become a launching pad in its short history due to the apparent wind tunnel. Brian Bruney was touched for a run, but he and Mariano Rivera successfully closed out the game…as usual.
John Munson/The Star-Ledger
It was nice to see Jason Giambi do good…but not too good. He had a hit and a run scored, but no homers or RBI's. Brett Gardner also made a leaping catch to take away a potential base hit. I won't mind seeing Giambi hit some home runs in this series, so long as the Yanks have a comfortable lead, of course.
Nathan Denette/The Star-Ledger
On the good news front, right fielder Xavier Nady has been diagnosed with a ligament strain in his elbow and he won't need season-ending surgery after all. He is expected to miss six weeks. All things considered, that's great news!
Also, the Yanks announced that pitcher Chien-Ming Wang will miss his next start and will go to Tampa to pitch in an extended spring training game. Wow, why didn't I think of that??!! Too funny! But that is the ONLY solution that I could see when Wang stunk it up the last time he pitched. Well, the other option was to put him on waivers…which obviously was not going to happen. Hopefully, Wang will be able to work out his mechanics in Florida.
Wang had been scheduled to open the series in Boston on Friday night. Instead, Joba Chamberlain will get the start. I feel much better heading into the weekend showdown with Julia of Julia's Rants…
I don't know what to say about my San Jose Sharks. I am disappointed that they've lost the first two games of their series against the Anaheim Ducks. The Ducks were playing much better at the end of the season than an eighth seed, while the Sharks were struggling. The playoff series has been more of the same.
Gary Reyes/San Jose Mercury News
Game 3 is tonight in Anaheim. Obviously, this game is huge for the Sharks and will most likely determine if they can turn this series around. I remain hopeful of a Sharks-Bruins Stanley Cup Final, but I recognize for I am failing my part of the equation. Rest assured Julia, it is not a sign of things to come this weekend…
Go Yankees!

Scott – I see both your teams had good days! My Bruins are going for the sweep tonight – they are looking great! Two games on tap for the Red Sox today (we were rained out last night) and then a day's rest before the big show down. And no Wang? We'll miss him in Boston!😉 We've tweaked our expected line-up a bit also – it is now Lester, Beckett, Masterson. Have to say – I like it! Hope you're enjoying your week and Game On! It will be a great series – and we all know how it will end……😉
Scott – Hope your week is going well. The Sharks finally WON!!! There is a happy kid here this morning. Now 3 more to go!
That would be one win for the Red Sox today! Even rain shortened it was 10-1. GO RED SOX!😉
Sorry Scott – but we have another Hat Trick in Boston!! 2 wins by the Red Sox today AND the Bruins SWEEP!!!!!
Bring out the brooms! Bye Bye Montreal.
Having the chance to watch the Yankees game on Wednesday afternoon it is absolutely crazy how the ball travels out of the yard in that new ballpark. Interesting to see the fans letting CC have it after only his 2nd start. I guess that's what 160 million will get you if you have any slip ups at all. Anyways, if you so wish to, stop by and participate in my daily baseball trivia to earn points towards the challenge of being crowned "The 1 Constant Baseball Trivia Guru" for 2009 and a small baseball related gift/prize.
Good move with Wang; a lot of teams are hesitant to do that with their starters, but it works out a lot of the time. I hope it does here too!
Man I wanted Wang to start.😦 Also please check out my twitter!
I hope the Sharks go far! In my sports report for my my school's morning news the said "they're the favorite in the west and will most likely meet the Brunis in the Stanle Cup finals." I don't want to be an idiot in front of the whole school!
Scott- Tonight I turned on the Sharks game for a second, and I'll tell you, I had no idea that Rob Blake played for the Sharks now. Rob Blake AND Claude Lemieux? Lucky… sort of. Apparently they didn't do much for your team…
Of course, I'M still wanting a Caps-Bruins conference final…but, that's assuming the Caps can start playing REAL hockey tonight!!!
My blog today addresses that.
You'll do well to read it, Scott. LMAO
Hey, Scott …
The first "big" Yankees vs. Red Sox series is finally here !!! … The Sox jumped out to the early 1-0 in the first inning; and, the game has now entered the top of the 4th inning — Yanks have two runners on base, with one out, and Ransom hitting …
And, Cody delivers with a grounder down the third base line for a RBI double to tie the score, 1-1 !!!
Derek Jeter now up: RBI grounder to short, Molina scores, Yanks 2, Sox 1 …
Damon strikeouts for out number three, but Yankees are now have the lead, 2-1 !!!
Enjoy the game, Scott !!!
And, of course, good luck in your bet with Julia !!!
— Jimmy Curran, "BY&L"
4-2 Yankees top of the 9th now….
Typical Red Sox-Yankees fashion – top of the 11th and over 4 hours and counting!
ROUND ONE FOR THE GOOD GUYS!!!!!! Youk homered in the bottom of the 11th! And you know they are NOT going to loose on my birthday!😉

He eats great, whatever we are having, drinks cows milk or water and his weight is in the 95th percentile. His molars are in. He sleeps all night (8pm to around 7am) Is this just the natural progression of weaning? Should I offer more? Just drop the afternoon session unless he asks? I am reluctant to offer when he is not asking so because he often bites if he is not interested in nursing and that traumatic for both of us.

Retirement request a surprise
Members of the public who attended the Eldred Central School (ECS) Board of Education meeting on December 8 were surprised to learn that George Ross Mackenzie Elementary School principal Kathryn Ryan has requested early retirement effective December 31.
Following an executive session, the board voted unanimously to grant that request and authorized ECS superintendent Robert Dufour to sign a memorandum of agreement with Ryan paying her a retirement incentive in the amount of $40,000.
News of the retirement brought gasps from members of the public. "Mrs. Ryan's retiring? Did I hear that correctly?" asked one woman.
ECS board president Douglas Reiser confirmed the announcement. "I want to stress that this was brought to us," he said. "We were asked by Ms. Ryan for the retirement incentive."
When asked what prompted her sudden decision to retire, Ryan said, "I recently had a milestone birthday. Two of my dearest friends took me to see 'Follies,' a play about aging Broadway performers who reflect on their lives and regrets. My biggest regret is not having finished my doctorate. My mom will be 90 years old and she so wants to call me 'Dr. Ryan.' I only have to finish the dissertation." In addition, she added, "Schools are changing. Some of the changes are good and others are not so good."
After more than a decade as principal, Ryan doesn't have any definite plans for the future yet, other than completing that dissertation. She said she will really miss the children and that she hopes to spend more time with her own grandchildren. "It was a tough decision to make, but it just seemed right," she concluded.
Reiser said the district will recognize a cost savings over the next couple of years. "When you replace a veteran person with a newer person, there's a savings in the salary difference and benefits," he said.
Dufour added, "I reiterate that this request was rather unexpected. But the incentive is covered in this year's budget by cuts already made during the 2011-12 school year.
Haste is being made to identify an interim principal to assume the post following Ryan's departure. A screening process to recruit, interview and hire a permanent replacement will be determined. "Our goal is to do it as quickly as possible," said Dufour. "If we can get a qualified candidate that is immediately available, we'll hire them immediately. If not, we'll continue the process until we find that individual."
In other matters, the board also heard the results of the Transportation Efficiency Study they had commissioned. Chris Andrews of Transportation Advisory Services reviewed a list of recommendations for the board to consider.
Reiser said the study was commissioned because it is the board's duty to "look at every segment of what we do and be sure that we're doing it the best way we can." He added, "It's great to hear that we're doing things well."
Dufour announced that on December 13 at 6:30 p.m., at Fallsburg High School, the Sullivan County School Boards Association would host NYS Department of Education Commissioner Dr. John King for a brief presentation, followed by a question and answer period. The public is invited.
Reiser reported that the board has asked for a comprehensive approach to cutting the budget and that he and Dufour have begun conversations with school labor unions. "There's nothing to report yet, but we will sit down again," he said.
ECS business administrator William Thornton has been working on a draft budget reflecting all cuts discussed to date. "I've instructed him to cut any area not previously cut in one of our presentations by a minimum of 10%," said Dufour. Budget workshops will begin in February. The public is encouraged to attend.

So I finally made it to the dentist after an embarrassingly long time and it turns out that not only do I have several cavities, but I also need a root canal . I'm going next Wednesday. I asked about medication, and she said that they'll give me "standard dental anesthesia" as well as some kind of antibiotic and pain medication. As possibilities she mentioned she mentioned keflex (sp?) and zithromax. For pain, she said maybe motrin or vicodin. So what here is safe to take while nursing? Or will I have to pump and dump? I definitely don't want to wean yet, and I know DS will miss his night nursings if I have to put him off.
When I went in for a simple filling, the dentist said that novocain is okay while nursing but they held back on the epenephrine as a precaution. I took his word for it, not having done the research ahead of time. This time I'd like to be more prepared especially if I have to ask them to substitute medications. Thanks for any help you can give.

Military grounds F-35 jets in wake of fire
WASHINGTON The Defense Department has grounded its fleet of F-35 fighter jets after one of them caught fire as it was preparing to take off at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.
The grounding is the second in a month and the latest in a long string of delays that has plagued the Air Forces newest fighter aircraft. It comes as the plane was to make its international flying debut during showings to prospective buyers at two air shows in Britain beginning next week.
The Air Force has chosen the Vermont National Guard site at Burlington International Airport in South Burlington as a future base for the F-35s. Opponents are fighting that decision on the grounds of noise and the potential effect on nearby property values, as well as the possibility of a jet crash.
The cause of the problem at Eglin two weeks ago remains under investigation, the Pentagons press secretary, Rear Adm. John F. Kirby, said in a statement Thursday night. Additional inspections of F-35 engines have been ordered, and return to flight will be determined based on inspection results and analysis of engineering data, he said.
The Pentagon is seeking to determine whether the Eglin fire was an isolated incident or signaled a wider problem in the F-35 fleet, which has variations designed for the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps.
In June, an oil leak in an F-35 engine was detected during flight, and although the pilot safely landed at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Arizona, the Pentagon grounded the fleet for three days.
The F-35s, which are manufactured by Lockheed Martin, are designed to bring stealth ability to the countrys fighter fleet. The planes backers say it will also provide a versatility that will allow it to operate in virtually any battle situation.
As the only model available for export from the United States so-called fifth generation of fighter aircraft, the F-35 has fetched many orders on the global market. Australia, Britain, Canada, Israel, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway and Turkey are among the expected buyers.
The planes, however, have run into delays amid criticism of the programs cost, which has ballooned to about $400 billion, or about $160 million per plane, according to the Government Accountability Office.
Britain has several F-35 jets for testing and training, and it is expected to buy 138 of them.
During the dedication Friday of Britains newest aircraft carrier, the Queen Elizabeth, an F-35 was supposed to make a flyover, but it remained on the ground at Eglin.
It is unclear whether the planes will make it to Britain next week for demonstrations at the Royal International Air Tattoo and the Farnborough International Airshow.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

Student-athlete wins Elite 89 award for NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championship
Ohio Northern University defenseman Matt Fleming, a senior international business and economics major from Liberty Township, Ohio, has been named the recipient of the Elite 89 award for the 2012 NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championship. The award was presented at the NCAA Finals in San Antonio in November.
The Elite 89 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's championships.
Fleming, a graduate of Lakota East High School, is the first ONU student-athlete to receive this national award.
The Elite 89, an award founded by the NCAA, recognizes the true essence of the student-athlete by honoring the individual who has reached the pinnacle of competition at the national championship level in his or her sport, while also achieving the highest academic standard among his or her peers.
Fleming helped anchor a defense that gave up just 14 goals last season. He also recorded four assists on the year.

A battle is being waged against an invader that has taken over river banks, riparian zones and roadsides in the Upper Delaware region, and the public is being educated on the most effective means of controlling Japanese knotweed.
Using grant funds provided by the Pennsylvania Association of Conservation Districts, several organizations have partnered in a demonstration project that targets management of a large plot of Japanese knotweed along the Lackawaxen River, behind the Stourbridge Complex in Honesdale. The multi-phase endeavor is aimed at removing the invasive plant by various means and stabilizing the riverbank with native plants afterward.
The organizations have been using the process to educate the public about management of the aggressive plant. The key to controlling knotweed is to control the rhizome system of the plant, which can spread up to 60 feet, according to National Park Service (NPS) biologist Jamie Myers, who is licensed to apply pesticides and herbicides in both Pennsylvania and New York.
At the most recent demo, on July 11, Myers was preparing to apply a glyphosate-based herbicide to an area where the plant had already been depleted by cutting. Applying herbicide to the plant's leaves typically results in a 90% kill rate, while injecting individual stalks with herbicide kills 99% of the plants. The aquatic-approved version of the herbicide is commonly known as Rodeo, and the terrestrial version can be found under such names as Roundup and Accord XRT. They are considered to be non-selective and will kill all plants in the spray zone.
The best approach to managing knotweed is to use as many control methods as possible so that each adds to the effect of the others. Successful management will require a multiple-step control phase and an ongoing maintenance phase in following seasons to make sure the knotweed does not reestablish.
Managing Japanese knotweed without herbicides is labor intensive, requiring cutting the plants twice monthly during the primary growth period, from April to September, and employing other practices, such as plastic sheeting.
Any piece of the plant has the potential to spread. After cutting, stalks should be dried and then burned since fragmentation is the greatest source of spread. Studies using plastics applied over patches of ground where knotweed had been cut down show that the solarization effect is greater under clear plastic rather than black. A thickness of at least six- to eight-millimeter plastic is recommended.
Myers also reported that a beneficial insect control is currently under development and might become available within the next two to three years. The NPS has seen success with the Galerucella beetle, a biological control that was released in the region eight years ago to combat the invasive plant called purple loosestrife.
The final phase of the demonstration project will be the planting of native species to stabilize the riverbank at the site. First, soil will be applied, and the site will be seeded with winter rye, followed by a special grass mix designed to thrive in the region.
Contact Myers at 570/729-7842 or Jamie Knecht at the Wayne Conservation District, 570/253-0930, for more information. A free brochure is also available by calling 866/511-8372, or by emailing email@example.com [1]. Visit bit.ly/Muh8qh for additional information.

I am returning to work on January 9th. DS will be about 4 months old at that point.
Currently, I am exclusively breastfeeding. But the first 5.5 weeks I was exclusively pumping and bottle feeding. Once I finally got DS to the breast, I stopped using bottles because I wanted to make sure our nursing relationship was firmly in place. He's done really well since then.
He has had an occasional bottle since the switch to nursing, but the last one was on Oct 31 and he kind of acted like he didn't much care for it... and/or had forgotten how to drink from a bottle. My mom also tried to give him a bottle recently when I was at a dentist appointment, but DS refused it (possibly wasn't hungry yet though).
Can anyone recommend a strategy for me to reintroduce the bottle before it's time to return to work? When should I start offering him a bottle - now, or closer to when I go back to work? And how frequently should I give him one? And what time of day do you think works best for giving a bottle?

How to tweet in MandarinJune 21,2013BEIJING Lunch had run late, and by the time we got back to our hotel, Hung Huang was already in the lobby waiting for us. Blunt, opinionated and wickedly funny, Huang is one of the countrys top fashion editors. But she is better known for her acerbic posts on Weibo, a microblog, where she has 7.5 million followers. As we introduced ourselves four journalists on a three-city tour of China she passed around a picture that someone had texted her.
It was a photo of President Barack Obama and President Xi Jinping of China walking side by side. Mirroring that photograph was another image: Tigger and Winnie the Pooh, matching their stride and shape. We all laughed uproariously. Huang planned to post it on Weibo.
Just then, though, an anonymous message on WeiChat a new, peer-to-peer cousin to Weibo arrived. It contained a warning said to be from the state news bureau. Please reinforce monitoring and management of all postings with regard to the Xi-Obama meeting, it read. Please clean up all attacks, riddles and comics.
I dont even know if this warning is real, Huang said. But she immediately decided not to post the picture. The risk that it crossed an invisible line between commentary that was acceptable to the government and commentary that wasnt was too high. She looked at it again. It is so benign, she sighed.
It is nearly impossible today to visit China without hearing about the importance of Weibo, which was started in 2009 by Sina, a large, Shanghai-based Internet company, and which has since gained close to 600 million followers. Thanks to Weibo, the government can no longer control the flow of information, at least not like it used to. When a disaster takes place, the best information invariably comes from the Weibo community. Microbloggers have exposed municipal corruption and raised environmental concerns. The government cant get away with a hand-wave anymore, says Kai-Fu Lee, the former president of Googles operations in China who now runs Innovation Works. (Lee has an incredible 43 million followers on Weibo.)
Perhaps more important, Weibo has empowered the average Chinese, maybe for the first time, to express an opinion and to confront differing views. For thousands of years, the Chinese didnt believe they had vocal cords, said Huang. Now they have found their vocal cords.
Yet despite the undeniable progress that Weibo represents, there is still that invisible line, the point beyond which every Chinese microblogger cant go. Nothing is written down, of course; people who use Weibo need a sixth sense, in Huangs words.
Lee, whose posts are often uncontroversial, nonetheless had his Weibo account shut down for three days in February when he poked mild fun at a new state-run search engine; he has also had some posts censored. When our group spoke to him, though, he seemed to view the line as simply part of life in China, a friction in the system that had to be tolerated, like a lot of other silly frictions.
Survival is the prerequisite to making a difference, he said. There are bloggers who have had their accounts removed. I want to be near the line but not cross it. It was counterproductive, he believed, to go over it.
Huang was less patient. She, like Lee, had spent years in the United States and has a Western attitude about free speech. If you look at China now compared to 20 years ago, there is a huge amount of freedom, she said. But I dont see it as a glass half full. It needs to get better.
The larger question is whether the kind of self-censorship that the line represents impedes China in other ways. Does the fear of taking a risk on Weibo spill over to other areas of life? Does it have the potential to hold back China?
My friend James Fallows, the longtime national correspondent for The Atlantic, who lived in China from 2006 to 2009, believes that it does. In an email he sent me a few days later, he argued as he had in his 2012 book, China Airborne that most modern societies try to minimize the taboos and maximize the areas of acceptable debate. He wondered whether the Chinese approach expanding the areas of acceptable debate slowly and even fearfully would wind up placing a ceiling on the overall potential of the Chinese system. He added, I suspect that the very effort of maintaining the line is one of several tensions that will determine whether China 10 years from now is a fully rich and mature country or just a bigger version of what it is now.
Meanwhile, Huangs instincts about the image she showed us was right. Although Fallows was able to post it on his blog at The Atlantic, those who put it on Weibo found it quickly removed.
Benign though it surely was, it had crossed the line.

Could happen. But the every-other-night schedule might cause us to drop 1 or 2.
Our 16-5 Knicks are on a ROLL to win the Atlantic Division Title ..
We are 8-0 on our home-court with our next 6 games at HOME (MSG) to entertain Knicks-Fans with win-win-win as the top contender team in the Eastern Conference .... if u dont know by now our 6 straight games at HOME will be the optimistic-hype we been looking for over a decade.
12/13 Lakers (9-11) 20 point win over no-defense Damnphoney
12/15 Cavs (4-17) a tough win over a sleeper Irving/Vare/Scott
12/17 Rockets (9-10) a payback win over Lin in MSG
12/19 Nets (11-7) a uptown WIN over Brooklyn
12/21 Bulls (11-8) payback win in the Big Apple
12/23 Wolves (9-9) a tough win over the West sleepers
Should coach Woody rest all our starters after winning all 6 games at home when we go on the road to play the No-Defense Damnphoney Lakers in LA on Christmas???
What u think KO members???

Really as early as it is, with the start we've had, we can put some real distance between us and the teams behind us (besides MIA). I fully expect MIA to be there in the end.
...and of course I wouldn't have it any other way. Don't forget our goal: beat the heat.
22-5, lets get it.
Sounds too good to be true but what the heck. 22-5, I'm All-In
I`m so excited about the game tomorrow against the Lakers. I loathe D`Antoni so I want us to beat up on his team so badly. A blowout would be great.
As for our home games. I don`t see why we don`t win each of them. Camby should be back soon so hopefully his recovery will add another player into the mix so that Tyson can get some good rest. It all depends of fatigue levels as the schedule is quite punishing.
Come on Knicks let`s win them all !!!
I hope STAT doesn't come in in this home stretch. We might not go 6-0 if he does. I would love to see STAT on Christmas Day. It wouldn't really be a big deal if we lost and if we did win well hell yeah!
they are playing with Dantoni's fav player Duhon thats why diffrences of poor PG makes in any team. We will win only if we play like with Heat.We need high % shots and many threeees
One game at a time is what Melo has been preaching and if take this approach then 6 wins is for sure possible
If we concentrate on going 6-0 we are already looking past teams and we will not win more than 3 or 4
The Lakers are desperate and they still have Dwight and Kobe so we need to be locked into tomorrow's game fully
"I'd Rather Melo shoot with 3 men on him than Jefferies shotting wide open"
-Jeff Van Gundy
I was gonna say the same thing. Its great that we are doing good at the Garden all that means is a big target on our back and teams bringing their A game each night. I have confidence because Woodson is our coach and his plan has worked well. One game at a time nice post Kiya Ill be pleased if we get out of this month with only 2 or 3 more L's
6-0 = 22-5
I agree with New-York & Knicks4life too .. one game at a time, thats been Jason Kidd's philosophy since taking the Nets to 2 finals .. Kidd is still theee Man in da NBA .. plus the Lakers "Kobe & Howard" has been the biggest talk in todays sports, giving Damnphoney a pass while all blame goes to Howard & Kobe .. if Magic Johnson is in New York for the game expect Howard/Kobe to coach the Lakers team to make the game a hard-hard win where the officials will own the WIN.
We will have to play smart by getting the crowd in all 6 games...

How To Tuesday – How to Make Whipped Cream
Now sure, I've been known to go spoon deep in a frozen tub of Cool Whip, or spray a can of the aerosoled stuff straight into my face with blatant disregard for ladylike qualities – it's highly over rated sometimes – but making your own whipped cream totally bumps the classiness of your dessert up a notch. Or two. And it's just as good to eat straight out of the bowl – guilty! There are no heroes here. But there are a few tricks to make your whipped cream stand tall and proud. Whipped cream can be proud, can't it?
Whipping Cream vs. Heavy Whipping Cream
Yes, there is a difference! I used to stand in front of the dairy shelves wondering what diff was and scratched my head and just picked the heavy because well, it must have been better? But there is a diff and depending on what you want to do with your whipped cream, one or the other is better.
Standard whipping cream comes in at 30% fat. It's perfect for topping pies or fruit and adding into your creamy soups.
Heavy whipping cream registers between36-40% fat (or more) and when whipped creates a much stiffer foam, which is great for piping onto cakes, or anything else that needs a heftier cream that will stay put for longer periods of time.
So you can strut down the dairy aisle with confidence and pick which ever works best for what you need! Whip away!
Making Your Whipped Cream
Set your mixer up with a whisk attachment and add in your desired amount of whipping or heavy whipping cream into the bowl. Personally, I usually go with the heavy whipping cream because I need a foam that holds up for longer periods of time.
*Side note* If you're totally going die hard and are looking to give yourself your own set of Michelle Obama arms, by all means use a hand whisk to do this job. I dare you. It's equally parts killer and awesome.
With the mixer starting at low, I work my way up to medium speed gradually and let the air start to incorporate into the cream.
The more air that gets incorporated the fluffier the cream gets.
After about a minute or so on medium, soft peaks will begin to form.
Soft peaks will start to droop rather quickly, so get back to whipping!
After about another 30-45 seconds on medium stiffer peaks will start to form.
In this last 30-45 seconds, start to sweeten your whipped cream by slowly pouring in your desired amount of sugar or powdered sugar and flavoring, like vanilla. For the 1/2 cup of cream I used in this recipe, I used about a tablespoon of sugar. It wasn't too sweet, but sweetness is all about personal preference.
Gimme some Sugar
You can go lots of ways with sweetening your whipped cream. Superfine sugar is probably the most popular, because it mixes in and dissolves quickly. But since it's not a kitchen staple normal people (most "normal" people – food bloggers are not normal) keep on hand, I have used standard white sugar and suffered no ill-effects because of it.
Powdered Sugar also works, it dissolves immediately and can even add a little structure to the whipped cream that standard sugars don't.
Adding which ever white sugar you want, its entirely up to you. I have not attempted whipped creams with agave nectars or liquid sweeteners, but hey, it could be worth a shot.
It's perfectly okay to stop your mixer and test your whipped cream to see how it's holding up. When the stiffer peaks start to form, and they don't immediately fall, you're done.
The key is knowing and learning when your stiff peaks are just the right consistency so they don't fall or they don't get over mixed. As soon as the cream starts to look "curdled" and slightly lumpy, stop immediately.
Overbeating whipping creams causes the water molecules to start to separate from the cream and then you will end up with BUTTER! No joke. And butter in lieu of whipped cream is no bueno.
So go forth and make your own whipped cream. It's a couple of minutes out of you day, but the end results is impressive no matter what.

When I've over whipped my cream, I just look at it as a glass being half full and just continue and make butter.
There's nothing better than a batch of freshly whipped cream. The stuff in a can doesn't even compare!
Wonderful. Always wondered what the difference in heavy and regular whipping cream was… Thank you…
Great post! I always wondered what the difference was between whipping cream and heavy whipping cream. I had a feeling it was about the fat content, but didn't know the exact percentages. Good to know! One extra step I take when making whipped cream is refrigerating the mixing bowl and whisk attachment for 30 minutes to an hour before making the whipped cream. It ensures the cream stays cold in the bowl longer as it whips and speeds up the process slightly. It's not necessary, but I find that it helps.
I never knew there was a difference! I do know that I could eat an entire bowl of whipped cream. 🙂
Lovvvvvvve whipped cream! Such great tips!! I never new the difference between the creams…
I really need to get a whisk attachment for my mixer! looks great!
That really is PERFECT whipped cream! GREAT tips and gorgeous photos!
yes yes yes yes! I needed this post! My whipped cream always deflates on me, thank you!
Nothing compares to fresh whipped cream!
Good lord, I want to do naughty things to that whipped cream. Unladylike things.
This is a great, informative post…thanks so much! Gorgeous photos!
I want to dollop this on everything!
Oh this is so talking my language. I've got a huge weakness for whipping cream. I learned a few new things here–thank you! 🙂
But also thank you for making me now crave whipped cream and I know I'll find some good reason to try out your methods tomorrow. 😉
I love homemade whipped cream 😀 greeeeeeeeat tutorial gurl!
Psst. That photo of the whipped cream in the jar is gorgeousssss. Also, I'm loving these how-to Tuesdays. 🙂
There is nothing better than homemade whipped cream!
I love how simple homemade whipped cream is 🙂 and there is no better taste!
s hoping that you would address hto stabilizer whipped cream
Well for whipped cream you shouldn't really need a stabilizer. The fat content of the whipping cream you use will determine how stable the cream stays. Higher fat whipping cream will make more rigid peaks when whipped. "Whipping Cream" is best for dies you will use immediately. "Heavy Whipping Cream" is best for dishes that need staying power or are best when folding into something else. Good luck and hope that clears up any confusion.
How long do you think this stuff will keep in the fridge? Say, if I'm only one person and I just want to use it to top hot chocolate occasionally?
Hi Cristina, Whipped cream won't last very long in the fridge. If you're using heavy whipped cream, leave it in the fridge for no more than a day and a half. You can make smaller batches more often, and that is what I would do. I would hate to have you let it rest for a couple of days or longer because it will start to separate and that's no good! Good luck and I hope you liked the tutorial!

Growing up in Pueblo, Colo., I'd come home from school in the 1950s and '60s, I'd do my chores and homework, then read an escapism western or sports story in a library book I'd checked out the Saturday before.
I'd sprawl on the floor in front of the small black-and-white television and plug my ears with tucked up fingers to block out the sounds of my seven siblings. Then I would drown in the world of the images the words created in my mind's eye.
Oh, I'd watch a bit of the hometown TV station's kid show, but mostly I'd escape into the story at hand.
A book is where I first experienced the power of words strung together the right way. The comic strips of the Pueblo Star-Journal reinforced that belief. By seventh grade I knew I would be a storyteller.
I've had the good fortune and privilege to follow that meandering path through five states — Colorado and California, Idaho and Ohio, and now New Mexico. I quit twice, once for a brief Peace Corps stint and once from burnout — no balance between work and play and prayer. But the draw of ink rubbing off on my fingers was too powerful to ignore.
When I became an editor for the first time in Idaho in the late 1970s, my goal was the same as it is today: Produce a strong community news report. Be prepared to do it unflinchingly because newspapers that do things right are attacked when they don't buckle under pressure to print only the truth as interpreted by one faction.
Some days we do that pretty well. Other days, well, not so much. Most importantly, we never give up. We strive always to produce the daily miracle of newspapers. Now we do so in print and online.
We've always been guided and supported by our readers. Recently, our latest report of the tumbleweed barrage was far better because of the public's stories and photos, and they did so again last week with dozens of dust-storm photos we posted online.
Now that I'm 66 and a retiree of five days, I can say my career has been as rewarding here in what I call "The Flat Windy" as it was when words captured me back in junior high.
My wife of nearly 31 years, Bev, our cats and I drove here in late 2000 from Ohio, for my opportunity to become a publisher. Fulfilling that challenge has enriched and educated us far more than we expected.
This region grew on us quickly. Walking in the early mornings, my soul was filled with the breathtaking beauty of a full moon setting in the west as the bright sun peeked over the eastern horizon.
A trip to the Billy the Kid graveyard in Fort Sumner and its more somber partner, the Bosque Redondo Memorial, spoke volumes about our rich, sometimes shameful history in America's hardscrabble west.
Tucumcari's Route 66 remains remind us all that we had best find ways to strengthen our roots while seeking new opportunities. Portales' vibrant town square and nearby university campus mirrors the success of that message.
In Clovis, our sounds started more than a century ago when the first shrill train whistle scared a plow horse. The notes soon were enriched by the roar of propeller-driven engines on those new-fangled aeroplanes landing and taking off at Portair Field. Today, of course, that's Cannon Air Force Base, which keeps the sound of freedom alive with its fiercely dedicated special operations airmen and civilians.
Our love of music arose in our first schools and churches and that morphed into the Clovis Sound out on West Seventh in the 1950s. We celebrate that sound today at the annual Clovis Music Festival.
And don't forget the musical sound of water. This life-giving, scarce commodity offers a healing sound as it nurtures our farm fields and parks. We can't lose that sound, people. We are in the west so of course we fight over water. But we best not fight each other so hard our neighbors take our liquid gold.
My final sound, though, is heard throughout our Clovis Media buildings each day as our good people take care of your needs. They do it well and our business is as vibrant today as ever. We were blessed with new owners 25 months ago when Gary and Sue Stevenson and Garry Ellis bought the Clovis News Journal, Portales News-Tribune and Quay County Sun from Freedom Communications. They restored balance out of what had eroded into a corporate labyrinth that made good newspapering difficult. They let us do our jobs. It is a gift I will take to my grave.
In Clovis the music culminates six nights a week when we turn on our presses. I love the expanding reach of the Internet, but when the motors on the only newspaper presses within 90 miles rev up, I feel the goose bumps of freedom arising.
It is that sound I will miss as much as the tunes played by our eastern New Mexico winds

Bob Huber: Local Columnist
With a new year upon us, it's time to re-evaluate the rules by which we live. After all, we're a year older and wiser now, and some of our self-governing moods just don't apply anymore.
Behind this endeavor is the fact that each new year I sit down and think up new guidelines to live by for the next 365 days. When I was 20, they centered mostly on how to trap yahoos of the opposite sex. By the time I was 70 and had been married 50 years that view changed. I became more interested in hearty breakfast cereals and staying alive.
But after lengthy in-depth research while I smoked a cigar, here are updated canons that will make everyone's days productive in the coming year, no matter how old you are.
You can use them if you like. Just send cash. No checks please. Here they are:
• Beware of arguments involving religious differences. You may think you're God, but those around you may not.
• Don't suffer from insanity. Enjoy every minute of it.
• Work hard. Millions of government employees depend on you.
• You should allow many folks to remain alive, because it's illegal to kill them.
• If you think you have a handle on life, make sure it isn't broken.
• No matter how old you are, you can enjoy an active, passionate sex life, provided you have cable or that dish thing.
• Don't take life too seriously. You won't get out alive.
• Don't feel superior if the voices talk only to you.
• Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
• If everyone seems to be going crazy, consider the fact that Earth may be the insane asylum for the universe.
• You're not a complete idiot. Some parts are probably missing.
• Avoid that empty feeling that your stuff may have strutted off without you.
• Make a sign for your door that says, "Out of my mind. Be back in five minutes."
• Try NyQuil, the stuffy, sneezy, why-the-heck-is-the-room-spinning relief.
• God loves stupid persons, but he made too many.
• If your gene pool seems lacking, you may need a little chlorine.
• Do away with wide awake — that annoying time between naps.
• Avoid stopping to think. You may not be able to start again.
• Over the hill is better than being under it.
• Procrastinate, NOW!
• I have a college degree. Do you want fries with that?
• Define hangovers — the wrath of grapes.
• A journey of 1,000 miles begins with a cash advance.
• They call it PMS because Mad Cow Disease was already taken.
• He who dies with vast wealth is nevertheless dead.
• A picture may be worth l,000 words, but it uses up a lot more memory on your computer.
• Ham and eggs — a day's work for a chicken, a lifetime commitment for a pig.
• Recognize that the trouble with life is there's no background music.
• Smile, as though you know what's going on.
• It takes hard work to find domestic bliss, but pure satisfaction can come easily from a very dry martini.

The New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation announced with some fanfare in April that it was going to create smoke-free zones in some state parks, especially where large numbers of people congregate, such as pools and playgrounds.
Parks commissioner Rose Harvey said at the time, "State parks and historic sites should be healthy and clean places for our visitors, especially our youngest guests. It makes sense to ensure all visitors have a place to go in our parks to enjoy fresh air, while also protecting children playing at our pools and playgrounds from the dangers of second-hand smoke and reducing litter from discarded cigarette butts."
Not so fast, said Audrey Silk, founder of Citizens Lobbying Against Smoker Harassment (CLASH). She objected to the agency's implementation of the smoking bans without what she said was "any legislative authority." The agency had created the restrictions without going through the normal rule-making process, which requires, among other things, that the proposed regulations go through a public comment period.
Instead, the agency created a so-called consensus rule, which is typically used when there is no controversy attached to the new rule. The parks office responded to the complaint by saying it would back off on enforcement of the no-smoking rules until it could arrange to hear public comment. Harvey said, "This season, nonsmoking will be on a voluntary basis."
However, the agency, which manages 178 parks and 35 historic sites in the state, refused to take down the no-smoking signs that it had already placed in many areas. That's what prompted Silk to file a lawsuit on July 2. In a press release related to the suit, she said, "The intentional use of signage to fool park visitors into thinking that an unofficial policy has the force of law as a coercive tactic to induce compliance with a moral, rather than a legal, dictate cannot be tolerated. Government is taking its war on smokers to the new, contemptible level when it determines the rule of law is expendable when it comes 'to those people.' Rogue governance is a threat to all."
Joshpe Law Group LLP, a Manhattan law firm, filed the suit on behalf of CLASH. Attorney Brett Joshpe said, "Regardless of your view on public smoking, one thing is clear: it is wildly inappropriate for unelected personnel to be declaring behavior prohibited, giving the public the false impression of the force of law, when that very behavior is completely legal." Joshpe also said that, if the Office of Parks proceeds to implement the new restrictions without the legislature passing a law first, his client would sue on that basis as well. The suit was filed in Albany County.
