interesting, starting blount and lafrentz. i bet frye will get a lot of playing time cuz he matches up well with lafrentz style-wise. no 6th man this year for ricky davis huh. o and did u make up the knicks 5 or did u read it somewhere.
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
well, i read that Q could have played against the nets but larry didnt want to chance it so hes more or less starting and currys going to start the only guess is at the PF.
i think the knicks should be able to win this won. marbury can easily take delonte west any day and matt barnes and trevor ariza should have pierce and davis on lock. the only mismatch should be lafrentz's shooting range but frye should be able to guard him outside while curry defends blount down low. i predict a solid win for the knicks: 96-89
yeah, im saying is q the 3 or 2, with ariza or barnes at 3? do you know craw is starting or are you assuming. id rather have ariza/barnes for some D and bring craw off the bench to score.
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
i dunno, pierce and davis are knick killers...the big problem is gonna be containing them. The celtics are alot like the knicks, a young, athletic, offensive minded team. Remember when these guys embarrassed us last year on opening night at the garden? time to get them back. I think the knicks will win a close one.
well crawford has started in most of the preseason, i assume he starts nowOriginally Posted by pyotrveliky
Either Larry likes Craw, or they're showcasing him to make a trade. He started most if not all the preaseason games, and i think logged the most minutes of any Knick. His FG attempts have gone way down, and when he does shoot, they're looking like either smart shots, or he takes it to the hoop.
On another note, remember our opener against Boston last year? Lets hope that doesnt happen again. =)
yeah it definitely wont. i dont think itll be a offensive outporing but we win this definitely. curry will be 15+ for sure
Peter the Russian...back like cooked crack
hey hey hey smoke weed every day
Don't accuse me of being negative, but I would be surprised if the Knicks win this game, judging by their last preseason game.
We were blown away in last year's home opener, so I really want payback. Tney should be fixated on kicking the C's out of the Fleet Center.
desde la cuna del chango
Since there will be an inactive list of 3 players for each game, who ya'll think will be inactive for this first game?
I'm guessing Jackie Butler, Mo Taylor and Matt Barnes. with the rooks barely getting minutes (assuming Q plays at least 25 mins).
This would result in a 9-man rotation
C - starter - Curry / backup - James
PF - starter - Davis / backup - Rose
SF - starter - Penny / backup - Ariza
SG - starter - Q / backup - Jamal
PG - starter - Steph / backup - Jamal
Steph will get minutes at SG with Jamal at the point when Q heads to the bench.
desde la cuna del chango
I think we might lose this one, not because we got beat - but because we beat ourselves.
Turnovers are going to hurt us. However, the good sign is that teams are not averaging more than 85pts when play us.
The turnovers will decrease as the knicks become used to LB's playing style
Where there is hope, there can be faith
Where there is faith, miracles can occur
I really hope the Knicks pull together and win this game against Boston, but after watching them play the last preseason game against the Nets am beginning to doubt it. Turnovers are killing them, defense has picked up pretty well, specially compared to last season but there is something wrong with the offense right now. Marbury and Crawford are on a leash and the flow of the offense is just not right. Don't get me wrong I love all the passing but when Jerome James ends up the play shooting a fall away jump shot its just not my idea of pretty. Larry needs to let Steph loose early in the game and not put him to work only in the fourth quarter.
Well basically its going to come down to the turnovers. If we can keep it down to atleast 20 I think we can win this game. If we keep it in the 30s like the last few games, forget about it...
Maybe I shouldn't judge by the preseason games though. Larry was playing around too much with the roster, trying to get a feel from everyone and thats why we didn't do so well in preseason. I'm sure he is going to get down to business when it really counts and rip those players a new one if they start turning it over.
Oh I forgot to mention that there is no way the celtics are going to blow us out again like last season. Larry won't let it happen and we got Curry and James in the middle. They don't even have to block anything, all they gotta do is be a presence. Rick and Pierce will have to rely more on the jumper and we can keep pounding them down low.
according to the official game notes
the starters will be
C Eddy Curry
PF Antonio Davis
SF Anfernee Hardaway
SG Jamal Crawford
PG Stephon Marbury
Quentin is still questionable with his left hamstring, Im sure his heads not fully in the game either with the whole broken off engagement either...well see what happens though
#15...So good it had to be retired twice

Yankees pen preserves 6-5 win vs. TwinsBy DAVE CAMPBELL
the associated press | July 05,2014MINNEAPOLIS The New York Yankees have a bunch of proud, highly paid and accomplished hitters who have been performing much of this season as if they are well past their prime.
Signs of a turnaround have emerged in this series at Minnesota.
Brian Roberts had three doubles and a triple for the first four-extra-base-hit game of his 14-year career, and the Yankees used their bullpen to preserve a 6-5 win over the Twins on Friday.
Hitting is contagious. I think it goes both ways, said Roberts, who raised his batting average by 11 points to .248. When a couple guys start struggling, sometimes everybody starts struggling. A couple guys start hitting, it can kind of roll. So hopefully well fall in that direction.
David Huff (2-0), the first of four New York relievers, struck out three in three perfect innings after starter Chase Whitley faltered. David Robertson notched his 20th save in the ninth.
Its always big when the bullpen can pick up six innings and we still get a win out of it, Robertson said.
The veterans in the lineup did the heavy lifting early on. Jacoby Ellsbury delivered a two-run single in the second to help finish off Twins starter Kyle Gibson (7-7), and the Yankees had 10 hits for the second straight game.
It was probably the most frustrating part, looking back, Gibson said of Ellsburys hit that pushed the lead to 6-1.
Gibson brought the American Leagues best home-ballpark ERA among qualified pitchers at 1.54, but he only lasted two innings against the Yankees. One of the runs on his line was unearned, due to a passed ball by Suzuki that let Mark Teixeira move up and later score on Carlos Beltrans sacrifice fly in the first, but almost every ball was hit hard.
They jumped on him and never let him breathe, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said.
Brett Gardner led off the game with a triple, Roberts drove him in with a double and Gibson was on his way to that kind of day. He gave up six hits and one walk, without any strikeouts. Teixeira had an RBI double, and Brendan Ryan added a sacrifice fly.
Weve said all along these guys are good hitters, and eventually its going to turn, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of... Full StoryVermont fish hatchery changes focus, looks inland

Future Blog of the Red Sox Makes #19
Wow, I can't believe that my blog made number nineteen among Fan Blogs. When I joined this site, I honestly did not expect to even be in the Top 100 at any time, so this is really surprising. So of course the only thing I can do is thank the people who read these, and the comments that they leave. I truly enjoy reading all of them and replying. And I love reading your blogs as well! I guess this means that I'm one of the most popular young bloggers on the site (alright 'Burgh Blues, you've got me)– and the most popular young Red Sox blog on the site? But hey, Bigpapi72 is up there too! You guys are really making my dreams come true!!
22 Comments
Thanks for the shout out. In your paper write about Jackie Robinson, Roberto Clemente, and the Negro Leagues as your liberties.
Bigpapi72, http://bostonsports.mlblogs.com/
Congrats! I'm not surprised your blog is one of the most viewed blogs. You're a great writer!
Hey Nineteen.. congratulations!
(that was a reference to a song from Steely Dan that came out long before you were born – Steely Dan is a band btw)
Congrats Elizabeth! Sadly – I'm old enough to know the song that levelboss referenced – it is a great one! I'll think about your paper & get back to you!
Bigpapi72: You know, I would love to mention them–but sadly I am limited to America's Gilded Age. That's not to say that baseball isn't rich in history then too!
Darion: Thank you!!! That means a lot!
Levelboss: I'm gonna have to look up Steely Dan🙂
Julia: Thanks, I thought it was really funny! And thanks for thinking about the paper!
That is the greatest picture with the number 19 in it. Grover is amazing! Hahaha! Congrats on making the list! I wish the White Sox had an awesome bullpen like the Red Sox do. I worry for my boys, I really do. For your paper, you could talk about the formation of the Negro Leagues. The Wikipedia page has a list of books and websites for places you could actually cite.
Good luck with your paper!
Jen: As soon as I saw that picture I thought–I must put it in my blog!! As long as the Negro leagues are formed in the American Gilded Age, I'll be fine. Thanks for all your help!!
Great graphic, Elizabeth. And congrats on your ranking! You've done a wonderful job with your posts. They'll always full of heart and a generous spirit. Keep it up.
Ooops. Typo alert. "They're." Not "They'll."
Jane: Thank you so much! Congrats on number two! Very well deserved!!
Well since I love history here's my input. I believe you to be talking about the period in America where "robber barons" like Rockefeller and Carnegie were running the country with their vast business and that would be around late 1870's to early 1890 or so. Baseball as an organized professional game was just beginning in 1876 when "clubs" formed the first National League. That same year the wild west was raging and Custer was killed at little bighorn. The ironic part about baseball at that time is it actually took away freedoms first established during the "club" era. In the mid 1880's no sunday games or booze to be served in the park. Some parks started charging to keep the "lower class hoodlum" out and many poor who had gone to see baseball were unable! However and you can draw a parallel to the country as a whole with this one. Some ball "clubs" got together to form the American Association of Baseball CLubs and specifically served beer and played on SUnday and charged half to challenge the NL. This went back and forth but it was a microcosm of the country rich against poor! If that's not an A paper idea I'm gonna speak with your teacher. Do your research and you'll do fine!
Thanks Tommy!! I'm actually really excited to write this paper. I could write about baseball for hours and hours🙂. Last year I had to write this awful paper on bilingual education and I had NO idea what I was talking about. But with baseball, that's a different story.
Congrats!!! You blog is always a fun read, and it's no wonder that you are #19! Especially with Grover-he adds so much!
Thanks Kaybee! Yours is always a great read as well, with your great opinions on how to fix the Padres front office. They'd be a lot better if they listened to you!
Congrats Elizabeth!! WOW. Number nineteen. That's just awsome! Keep up the good work and expect me to go to your blog whenever I can🙂
Hyun Young: Thanks!! Glad to hear that you enjoy it, keep up the great work with yours as well! I'm sure we'll be seeing you in the leaders soon!
Men had the freedom to express emotions while playing or watching. In our society, men are supposed to be stoic and not cry if they want to be manly men. But in sports, they are supposed to get really into them and be competitive. I know it's not a whole paper or anything, but I hope it helps a little bit.
Elizabeth … "AWESOME" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That should be 19 "exclamation marks" after the awesome, in honor of your #19 ranking on the latest Leader's List !!! … You're well on your way to your goal of reaching #1 on the Leader's List !!! … Well, I feel honored that I inspired you to dedicate your ranking on the latest Leader's List … I did see your dedication [to Fred Lynn] on the MLBlogosphere comments section [good choice], and thanks for mentioning my name !!! … Also, thanks, for the kind words in your above post … "It's great to be an inspirational figure, inspiring you to also make a dedication in honor of your #19 ranking" !!! … I guess, I started making dedications to my rankings on the Leader's Lists about three months ago; and, Mark always like the idea, and mentioned it on past Leader Lists comment sections … On the latest list, it just seems like a few mlbloggers: You [Elizabeth], Kaybee, Julia, Jeff, and Mark, as well as, myself [the last time I looked, this afternoon], all followed my lead, at the urging of Mark, and made a dedication in honor of their rankings !!! … And, I added some extra comments on the "dedications", that, hopefully, will encourage other bloggers to also dedicate their rankings !!! … Like I said on the mlblogosphere, "that's the great thing about numbers, they have special meanings to all of us, in baseball, and all areas of our lives" !!! … Anyway, I like the drawing [picture] at the top of your above post !!! … "And, the crowd wants Elizabeth to come out of the dugout for an encore; and, wait, I think, that's her. Yes, it's Elizabeth; and, she steps out onto the field, and the crowd gives her a loud cheer, and standing ovation" !!! … "Bravo", "Bravo", "Bravo" !!! … Jimmy [27NYY]
By the way, did you see the "Rockpile Rant" post featuring our mlblogs, added to the "Rockpile Rank" blog link list … Jimmy [27NYY], "BY&L" … check it out: http://baseballsnatcher.mlblogs.com/archives/2009/01/ive_added_a_few_more.html
Well done indeed, Elizabeth. You deserve it.
Rockymountainway has given you a good start to your paper as have all who mentioned the formation of the negro leagues. I would also like to suggest that you mention in your essay how the young (and sometimes not-so-young) men of that era would work long hours in oil fields and mines, only to go play baseball. The guilded era was a transitional period in American history that was both difficult and wonderful at the same time. Significantly enough, however, baseball provided as sort of constant that helped us persevere.
I would love it if you would post your research paper so we can all see the wonderful job you did.
'Bringing Diamond Back(s)": It definitely does help, thanks!!
Jimmy: Glad to hear Rockpile Rant added us to his link list, and all day long I've been dedicating numbers to the Red Sox–including my locker combination!
Scott: That's a great idea about the oil field and mine workers who would go play baseball after work!!

Selected performance:
Wednesday 7th November
VINICIUS CANTUARIA (LEADER) (GUITAR/VOCALS), Adriano Santos (Drums), Paul Socolow (Bass), Helio Alves (piano)
Brazilian singer, songwriter, guitarist, drummer and percussionist Vinicius Cantuaria is mainly associated with Bossa nova and Brazilian jazz. Originally from the Amazonian city of Manaus, Cantuária grew up in Rio and relocated to New York City in the mid-1990s. His career spans several zones of Brazilian music: he founded the Brazilian rock group "O Terço" in the 1970s, released six solo albums in Brazil in the 1980s that include his hit songs "Só Você" and "Lua e Estrela" and pioneered the world of neo-Brazilian music with his first international release Sol Na Cara in 1996.
Since moving to the United States, Cantuária has been a leading figure in the downtown New York Jazz and contemporary music scenes. His albums, always critics' favorites, have featured collaborations with Brian Eno, Laurie Anderson, Brad Mehldau, Arto Lindsay, Bill Frisell, Marc Ribot, David Byrne and Ryuichi Sakamoto.
In 1998, Cantuária contributed "Luz De Candeeiro" to the AIDS benefit compilation album Onda Sonora: Red Hot + Lisbon produced by the Red Hot Organization.
Cantuária also produces various other artists, such as the successful debut album of Aline de Lima in 2006, also from the French Naïve label, which released his Cymbals album.
Vinicius Cantuária was born in Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil, living there until he was seven, when his family moved to Rio. As singer, songwriter, guitarist and percussionist, his career connects several zones of Brazilian music. And though his music is known for its decidedly twenty-first century feel, Cantuária's band might best be described as 'post-electronica acoustic' – a band that includes jazz bassist Paul Socolow, Michael Leonhart (the young Steely Dan trumpeter) and a rotating crew of Brazilian percussionists Nanny Assis, Mauro Refosco and legendary drummer Paulo Braga. Their repertoire typically includes songs by Jobim and Gilberto Gil, as well as Cantuária's own fund of songs.
Cantuária's albums, always critics' favorites, have featured collaborations with some of the starrier names in left-field commercial music: Laurie Anderson, David Byrne, Brian Eno, Bill Frisell, and Arto Lindsay. Though artists such as Anderson, Frisell and Lindsay have a common touch, there is always an awkwardness to their music: they don't worry about ugly sounds. They are prepared to confront their sophisticated audiences as well as delight them. Cantuária, by contrast, rarely produces anything that is not beautiful. He might express enthusiastic interest in DJ Spooky and the scratchy rhythms of laptop blip-hop, trade vocals with David Byrne or duet with Marc Ribot, but the end-result is always tuneful, light, fleet and musical. Compare his version of 'O Nome Dela' (co-written with Arto Lindsay) with the version on Lindsay's own album Prize. The song has a fabulous tune, a great hook and simple affecting words. Each version has its merits, and demonstrates a different aspect of Cantuária's chord playing, but it's the Brazilian's earlier version (on Sol Na Cara) that haunts the mind and grips the heart.
To get an idea on Cantuária's soundworld, it is worth going back to his superb 1996 album Sol Na Cara, an album that both predicated and helped influence a new, supercooled world of neo-Brazilian music. This is the field now filled so successfully by artists such as Bebel Gilberto, Moreno Veloso and Celso Fonseca. A significant collaborator on this album was Ryuichi Sakamoto, the Yellow Magic Orchestra founder whose combination of classical keyboard chops with synthesizer squiggles added some unexpected stylistic touches to a genre that had drifted out of joint with the times.
Since then, Sakamoto has become ever more absorbed by Brazilian music, frequently playing piano in an all-acoustic group with Paula and Jaques Morelenbaum. Cantuária, similarly, has reduced his dependence upon electronics, apart from a few effects on the guitar – perhaps influenced by Bill Frisell, with whom Cantuária plays in the Intercontinental Quartet. One of the outstanding tracks on Frisell's latest album, The Intercontinentals (Nonesuch) is Gilberto Gil's song, 'Procissão', sung by Cantuária over a busy mesh of stringed instruments and percussion. This song, with its infectious, Beatles-like chorus, is part of the repertoire of Cantuária's own band, who performed it at Tonic, New York, last March. A rough recording from the tiny club reveals a more obviously Brazilian reading. Cantuária's demeanor can appear to be as shy and retiring as Frisell's, but there's a assertive side, heard in songs such as 'Sanfona' (from the Verve album Tucumã) and 'Normal', on the most recent album Vinicius.
The lyrics of 'Normal' (in Lindsay's English translation) provide a taste of Cantuária's approach to songwriting: 'The boys from Bahia play capoeira / And every morning a hot soccer match on the sand / And the concrete poetry boys from Sao Paulo / The immigrants from the northeast with their lunchpails of happiness. The carioca boys, the boys from Guanabara / Beat the bass drum making the tin can funk / And the Brazilian boys grew up and they'll get there / Here's to Carlinhos Brown, Bide, Luna e Marçal /Ivo Meireles / Chico Batera / Dom Um Romão / Nana Vasconcelos / Paulo Braga / Robertinho Silva…'
This litany of Brazilian percussionists is fun yet it makes for a strangely abstract piece, sung against drums and percussion played by Paulo Braga and Cantuária himself, with violin by Jenny Scheinman (also on The Intercontinentals album) and keyboards by Peter Scherer. I particularly like the way Cantuária sings 'Airto Moreira' - as a little cry of joy, a warm tribute to his fellow countryman.
And it is a reminder that Cantuária has spent much of his career doubling as a drummer / percussionist – in his original rock group O Terco in the 1970's and in the backing band for Tropicalia legend Caetano Veloso, Cantuária's main gig for ten years. He continues to play percussion with the multi-instrumentalists of The Intercontinentals, and he has great empathy with fellow drummers. There was a point at Arto Linday's Jazz Café gig in 2000 when the leader used his guitar to produce sheets of freeform noise over a gentle bossa: amid the mayhem, Cantuária, on acoustic rhythm guitar, maintained direct eye contact with the drummer, continuing the groove that would eventually reassert itself at the song's end.
Cantuária has a studio in New York that he treats as an 'atelier', somewhere to go everyday to develop his practice. He might write a song, or listen back to older tapes… 'sometimes I play pandeiro for two days straight,' he says, 'always I work, for fun.' Or he might spend ages playing with alternative chords for 'The Girl From Ipanema', perhaps the best-known song of his idol Antonio Carlos (Tom) Jobim: 'I can feel the song in so many different ways,' says Cantuária. He stresses the importance of the acoustic guitar as the element of his craft – every song is originally worked out and written on the acoustic guitar, though he might use the electric instrument in the final orchestration.
He's more commercially successful than his modest demeanor might suggest. A few years ago, Fabio Jr's version of Cantuária's song 'So Voce' sold more than two million copies in Brazil. 'Lua E Estrella', the song Cantuária wrote for Caetano Veloso in 1981, was the latter's biggest hit. Veloso makes a guest appearance on the 2001 album, Vinicius (Transparent) for the delicate song 'Agua Rasa'. Cantuária made several solo albums throughout the 80s and 90s, prior to relocating from Rio to New York in 1995, and the international breakthrough of Sol Na Cara in the following year.
When you press Cantuária for his definition of contemporary music, his terms of reference remain thoroughly popular. He talks about the enduring freshness of British pop music: the Beatles, the Rolling Stones. 'Contemporary music for me is something like Jobim, Eno. If you listen to music from the 1980's, like Duran Duran or Tears for Fears it now sounds old because of the synthesizers. But 'Satisfaction' still sounds good. It's like buying a good pair of traditional black shoes, that will last you ten years,' he says.
Is that the way we should talk about Cantuária's own songs? Music like shoes made the traditional way, properly stitched together, weatherproof and comfortable, improving with age. 'I wanna do beautiful music, to play in small jazz clubs,' says Cantuária. There's that word again: 'beautiful'. He doesn't talk like a million-selling pop veteran . 'I try reminding people of Miles Davis and Chet Baker – the music and harmonies are so sweet. This is my Fab Four: Bill Evans, Miles Davis, Tom Jobim and Chet Baker.' John L. Walters 2003

Some are asking how could Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o be fooled by an online hoax? But, online communication experts say it's quite common.
"Yes, I haven't seen her, but I'm talking to her. She must be real," said Alan. "I'm chatting with her, I'm emailing back and forth. She's gotta be real."
Alan's story is similar to many others who think they found love online.
"There's no reason someone would lie to me. I'm sending my real pictures. She's sending me pictures," said Alan.
His misplaced love story began seven years ago in a chat room. While he says a relationship blossomed through emails, photos and phone calls, work and other excuses kept them from meeting in person.
It last for eight months until he finally met her on Kauai.
"And then finally a knock on the door and I'm saying I'm finally getting to meet this young lady," said Alan. "Open the door. Totally different person."
Alan continued, "At that moment, I didn't want to throw it in her face. And I was, 'Oh, you lied to me,' but I was embarrassed."
"It's not uncommon for people to basically buy into a relationship with somebody online," said University of Hawaii Communications professor Thomas Kelleher.
Kelleher says, these days, online communication is part of a relationship.
"Most relationships are at least partly online, particularly among college students," said Kelleher.
Kelleher says people like Te'o make easy prey.
"In a sense, he's more vulnerable because he's such a high profile athlete and, you know, the very things that we love him for may be what made him kind of a target," said Kelleher.
Kelleher says don't fall for someone until you've met them face to face. Not so easy, as Alan will tell you.
"When you're in that relationship, you're in love or whatever," said Alan. "You think it's real and so you don't want it not to be real."
Kelleher tells us what surprises him most is how long it took for the story to get out about Te'o's fictitious girlfriend, since it's so easy to research thing online such as names of college graduates and obituaries.

A SpaceX rocket exploded shortly after liftoff Friday at the company's 900-acre McGregor, Texas, flight facility.
The Falcon 9 rocket, which the company hopes to incorporate on future launch vehicles, went into self-destruct mode after it registered an unexplained malfunction, CBS News is reporting.
The unmanned rocket was a test version of a three-engine successor to its reusable Grasshopper vertical-takeoff-and-landing test vehicle.
"As is our practice, the company will be reviewing the flight record details to learn more about the performance of the vehicle prior to our next test," SpaceX said in a statement.
SpaceX, a non-governmental company, has been increasing the number of its space missions. It is scheduled to launch the AsiaSat 6 communications satellite next week from Cape Canaveral, Florida, and a SpaceX cargo ship to the International Space Station on Sept. 19, according to USA Today.

"A flavoured salt is one of the simplest and most basic ways of finishing a dish – it's so easy and tasty, yet hardly anyone does it"– Jamie Oliver
My fascination with flavoured salts began after reading about it in Jamie's Kitchen. And boy was I in awe of salt when I learned about the different varieties. Now I look at salt with a lot more reverence.
Many of these expensive flavoured salts that are all the rage right now can easily be mixed up at home at a much lower cost and they are so much fun to play around with! And, if you want to get gourmet-ish you can make combinations like smoked paprika, tomato and squid-ink with the salt. Mixing these together in creative ways can make for great unique Christmas gifts. I recently bought some expensive salts and now I'm wondering why.
Onion, garlic and celery are the most common flavoured salts but you can make some very wonderfully fragrant, wicked salt flavours with a little experimentation. Flavoured salts enhance the flavour of a dish or complement it apart from sounding glamourous. They can spruce up just about anything – soups, sandwiches, vegetables, seafood, side dishes, grilled meats – anything! Simply sprinkle them on chips and you'll feel the difference.
I got myself some pretty bottles, flavoured some sea salt, and now I have a year's supply to sprinkle on every other thing!

- Lavender, rosemary, thyme
- Lime lemongrass, chilli, ginger
- Sichuan peppercorn, chilli, ginger
- Jasmine tea – I pounded some jasmine tea pearls with sea salt and filled them up in bottle with a jasmine tea bag placed at the bottom for extra fragrance.
Herb Salts
Finishing salts works well when wetter sea salt is mixed with dried herbs. The moisture in the salt rehydrates the dried herbs or spices and brings them to life, with a little time. Freshly dried and ground herbs like rosemary and sage are also a good choice. You'd have to use a higher concentration of mild herbs like dried basil, oregano, coriander and bay leaves, which can otherwise be overwhelmed by the salt.
- Rosemary – Just strip the rosemary leaves, put into the blender with coarse salt or rock salt, and blend for a few minutes. Great on all things tomato.
- Dried, powdered curry leaves
- Dried mint
Spicy Salts
Spices like toasted ground cumin seeds, five spice powder and smoked paprika (love anything smoky!) are strong enough so the lightest sprinkle will lend flavour to a dish.
- Five spice powder
- Coriander seeds
- Ground toasted cumin seeds
- Roasted sichuan peppercorn
- Ground dried chilli peppers (ancho, smoked Serrano, chiptole)
- Chilli powder
- Smoked paprika (I absolutely love smoked paprika!)
- Wasabi (!)
- Saffron
Citrus Salt
Grate the rind of either of the fruits or even a combination and mix with sea salt. You could even dry out the rind before grinding and mixing it with the salt. It's so good with fish, chicken and vegetables! But again, make these just when you need them since they lose flavour much faster.
- Orange
- Tangerine
- Lemon
- Lime or Keffir Lime
You can play around with the concentration of flavouring to your liking (more fun) but otherwise I like to use equal quantities of salt and flavouring. Try these. I'm sure you'll be thrilled by the results and then you'll wonder, what you did all this while without it, just like me.

Sixth-ranked Eagles knock off No. 2 Montana State
Eastern had its opportunities – and the Eagles took advantage of them in an extraordinary fashion.
Despite being held to 211 yards of offense, sixth-ranked Eastern Washington used two huge plays within 59 seconds of each other in the fourth quarter to turn a four-point deficit into a 10-point advantage en route to a 27-24 college football victory over second-ranked Montana State Saturday (Oct. 13) at Bobcat Stadium in Bozeman, Mont.
The Eagles improved to 4-0 in the Big Sky Conference for the first time in school history, as the Eagles took advantage of MSU mistakes. The Bobcats out-gained EWU 375-211, but EWU used a blocked punt by sophomore Dylan Zylstra that was recovered for TD by Evan Day. Just 59 seconds later, an interception by freshman redshirt safety Jordan Tonani was returned 21 yards for a touchdown to take a 10-point lead they didn't surrender.
"It's huge any time you can beat a great team like Montana State," said Eastern head coach Beau Baldwin. "To beat the No. 2 team in the country on their home field, sometimes you have to find ways to win – extraordinary ways to win. We were struggling offensively in the first half, and the second half was a weird half. You couldn't say we were struggling in the second half because we didn't touch the football."
"It was awesome for Dylan Zylstra to make that play and Evan Day to fall on it," added Baldwin. "And then there was Tonani's huge interception return. What that does is that the defense never comes off the field and the offense never goes on."
Now 19-1 in the last three years after Oct. 1, the victory was the 10th time since 2010 the Eagles have won when trailing or tied in the fourth quarter. But most of the other comebacks were generated by the school's offensive attack.
"It was incredible the way our players found a way to win," said Baldwin. "It wasn't like some of the comebacks we've had in other games, but this time we just found another way."
Ranked sixth in this week's Sports Network NCAA Football Championship Subdivision Top 25 poll, EWU is now 5-1 overall and 4-0 in the Big Sky Conference. The Bobcats, ranked second entering the week behind defending NCAA Division I champion North Dakota State, are now 6-1 overall and 3-1 in the league.
Eastern has a chance to move up in the national rankings this week after the No. 1 (North Dakota State), No. 2 (Montana State and No. 3 (Old Dominion) teams all lost. The last time EWU defeated both Montana and Montana State in the same year was in 2005 – the only other times in school history that has occurred was in 1985, 1991 and 1992.
The Eagles now lead the all-time series 26-10, but had lost the last two meetings by a collective score of 66-28. Eastern was out-scored in the second half of those two games 26-7, but on Saturday the Eagles had a 24-14 advantage.
"It's as good as it gets," said Baldwin. "We're on the road against the No. 2 team in the country – that's a hard situation to be in. Montana State is the second-ranked team in the country and deservedly so. They are a great team, and we found a way to get it done. Sometimes wild things happen here and there, and it affects a lot in these types of games. Fortunately we were able to make one more play."
Montana State converted 11-of-19 third downs – and were 9-of-13 at one point -- behind the arm and legs of MSU quarterback DeNarius McGhee. He finished the game 28-of-36 for 294 yards and a pair of touchdowns through the air, and had another 59 yards of gains on the ground. However, he was sack six times – including twice by EWU sack leader Jerry Ceja – for a minus 58 yards.
"I have so much respect for McGhee – and I told him that," Baldwin said. "You can tell who he is as a person and as a leader. It's tough playing against him, but I enjoy playing against him. I enjoy his body of work and love seeing him on video. I'm impressed with him."
Eastern freshman redshirt quarterback Vernon Adams led the Eagles on a third-quarter scoring drive, and finished 12-of-29 for 140 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. He added 16 yards in gains on the ground, but was sacked four times for a loss of 13 yards.
Junior Demitrius Bronson rushed for 41 yards on 10 carries, and senior Greg Herd was Eastern's leading receiver with three grabs for 54 yards. Eastern leading receiver and 2010 All-American Brandon Kaufman was limited to one reception for eight yards. The Eagles did welcome back 2011 All-America receiver Nicholas Edwards, who caught one pass for six yards. He had missed Eastern's last two games because of a knee injury suffered on the first offensive play against Weber State on Sept. 22.
Defensively, Ronnie Hamlin had a team-leading 15 tackles for the Eagles and a key interception which led to a field goal. Besides Ceja, Paul Ena, Evan Day, Chase King and T.J. Lee III had sacks. Ena tied the career record of six fumble recoveries also held by Nicholas Ramos (2006-09) and Steve Mattson (1994-97).
Early in the game, Eastern couldn't capitalize on a record-tying fumble recovery by Ena, a senior defensive end who returned the fumble 40 yards to the MSU 15-yard line. But Eastern failed on a fourth-down conversion attempt – the first time this season in 19 trips into the opponent end zone the Eagles came up empty.
Montana State followed with a 90-yard drive on 10 plays to take a 7-0 lead in the second quarter. Late in the half, after an EWU defensive stand in the red zone, MSU kicked a field goal to take a 10-0 lead with 57 seconds left. Eastern, thanks to a 39-yard pass play from Adams to Herd, ended the half with a 40-yard field goal by Jimmy Pavel.
Pavel kicked a 39-yard field goal early in the third quarter to cut the lead to 10-6, with that coming after the first career interception by Hamlin at the MSU 40.
After a MSU punt, Eastern took the lead on an 11-play, 84-yard drive that was kept alive by a rouging the punter penalty on the Bobcats. Adams was 4-of-6 for 53 yards on that drive, including a 33-yard TD pass to running back Quincy Forte on an unsuccessful blitz by Montana State.
The Bobcats responded with a 75-yard scoring drive to regain a 17-13 lead, and then got the ball back after an EWU punt. But Eastern regained the lead at 20-13 when Zylstra blocked a MSU punt that was recovered by teammate Day for a TD.
Just 59 ticks of the clock later, Tonani intercepted McGhee on an out route to his wide receiver and returned it 21 yards for a touchdown. That gave the Eagles a 27-17 advantage with 11:15 to play.
Montana State missed a 33-yard field goal on its next possession, but got the ball back with 4:35 remaining. A quick, 63-yard TD drive took off just 1:57 off the clock, and MSU pulled within 27-24 with 2:38 left.
The Bobcats tried an onside kick, but the ball didn't go 10 yards and the Eagles took over the ball at the MSU 43-yard line. Eastern had to punt, but the Bobcats turned the ball over on downs on the final play of the game deep in their own territory.

I'm sorry, Guy, but I can't help myself
- 7:28 pm Tuesday, November 20th, 2012 by M.M. Cloutier
For the second time in as many days, I'm going to utter Pete Wells' name.
No, The New York Times' restaurant reviewer isn't secretly funneling me kickbacks. I have never met him.
And really, in this particular case, I'm a bit late to the party—those caught in the food and celebrity-chef bubble have been yammering for days about Wells' scathing review last week about peroxide-pated Guy Fieri's restaurant in Times Square—but it's delicious enough to belatedly share, whether to fans of Fieri's Food Network shows or to detractors who feel Fieri can be annoying with his overblown surfer-dude persona and "that's-money-that's flavor-town" banter.

Freedom New Mexico
The New Mexico Racing Commission visits Tucumcari on Thursday to hear a proposal for building a racetrack and casino.
Albuquerque car dealer Don Chalmers heads a group of investors who hope to bring hundreds of jobs and millions of dollars in Texas money to the economically depressed city along the Mother Road.
The meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. at the Tucumcari Convention Center. Organizers said they expect 800 or more area residents to attend.
The commission is considering proposals for a "racino" to be built in Raton, Santa Fe or Tucumcari. It's expected to announce its decision in 30 to 60 days, according to Julian Luna, the NMRC's agency director.
New racetrack/casinos typically are built in 18 months to two years, Luna said.
"I am very excited to bring this project to Quay County," Chalmers said in a news release outlining his plans for Coronado Park, which would be built on the eastern edge of Tucumcari, clearly visible to traffic along Interstate 40 and Old Route 66.
"I really feel like we have a chance," said Carole Keith, president of the Tucumcari/Quay County Chamber of Commerce. "I think a lot is in our favor. It's not going to take money out of the state, it's going to bring in money from Texas."
Amarillo — barely 100 miles east of Tucumcari — is the primary target for investors who say a new race track in Raton or Santa Fe would only shuffle gambling dollars around the state. Tucumcari, they claim, would bring new money into New Mexico — tens of millions in new money each year.
Promoters also say Coronado Park would employ 300 full-time and 100 part-time workers who would share a $9 million annual payroll. The average wage would be around $28,000 — a welcome respite from economic woes that have reduced the town's population from 8,500 to 5,500 since Route 66 bowed to the interstate highway system.
Not everyone in Quay County is thrilled with the prospect of becoming a tourist attraction for gamblers.
A letter to the editor from a Baptist minister in Saturday's Quay County Sun newspaper charges "gambling is an affront to God," and "seeks to accumulate wealth for the few at the expense of the many."
"Will this really be a driver to economic recovery?" Rev. David McAfee asks in his letter. "My concern is who is at the wheel and what direction will we be taken?"

Research Interests
My training and research interests lie in the areas of marine organic geochemistry and chemical oceanography. I use chemical "signatures" present in environmental samples to obtain information about the sources of organic matter important to freshwater, estuarine and marine ecosystems. This information can be present in elemental ratios, the presence of specific organic compounds, and the natural and radiocarbon isotopic ratios of biologically-important elements (C, N, S) and organic compounds. Collectively, these geochemical tools are termed "biomarkers". Important characteristics of biomarkers are: (1) their source specificity and (2) the stability of the compounds. Data obtained through these studies can provide insights into the sources and reactivity of organic materials produced within complex marine and freshwater ecosystems. This information can tell us, for example, whether production is primarily supported by phytoplankton, terrigenous or marsh vascular plants, submerged aquatic vegetation (e.g., seagrass), or inputs from the rivers draining into the estuary.
The over-arching goal in my use of these geochemical tracers has been to identify key processes important in controlling the composition and cycling of particulate and sedimentary organic matter in the coastal ocean. I use these tracers to study: (1) factors controlling organic carbon composition at both modern and geologic timescales, (2) coastal and estuarine food web interactions and (3) organic matter diagenesis. My interest in these topics is motivated by the need to understand how human activities (e.g., land use, nutrient enrichment, water management and climate change) influence the carbon cycle.

All-campus picnic went zero waste for first time
Posted on August 29, 2013
For the first time, the all-campus picnic that followed the convocation ceremony August 23 produced zero waste.
During the picnic, 15 members of the student-led Campus Dining Green Team were stationed throughout the picnic area to help students, faculty and staff members sort their waste into compost and recycle bins.
In all, more than 1,010 pounds of compost were collected and 1,500 water bottles were recycled.
A student team will lead a zero waste initiative in Lubbers Stadium at the home opener football game against Azusa Pacific University September 7.
Find out more about Campus Dining's sustainability initiatives at www.gvsu.edu/campusdine.

Are self-driving cars safer than those operated by human drivers? According to Mashable, data gathered from Google's self-driving Prius and Lexus shows the cars are safer driving themselves than when driven by a human.
The leader of Google's autonomous-car project presented the results from two studies of data from the hundreds of thousands of miles the self-driving cars have been driven on roads in California and Nevada.
According to the data, the cars accelerated and braked more sharply when a human was driving them in comparison to when the cars drove themselves.
The data also showed that the self-driving cars were better at maintaining a safe distance from other cars than when driven by humans, according to Mashable.
Google added elements to the dashboard that alert the human driver to what the car is doing and when the human might want to take over.
According to Mashable, Google has been testing the cars on public roads since 2010. The cars always have a human driver behind the wheel who can take over if needed. Google said it is thinking of different ways it could potentially take cars to market.

What The Sam Hill Did I Drink?…
A Post-Red Sox Hangover…
Fresh off a four game series sweep of the Boston Red Sox, the Yankees stumbled tonight against the Toronto Blue Jays, losing 5-4. Of course, the deck was stacked against the Yanks with Sergio Mitre on the mound. Mitre went five innings, giving up five runs (three of which were earned). He also had six strikeouts. It wasn't a great performance, but it wasn't awful…somewhere in middle which seems to be typical-Mitre…not bad but not quite good enough. I am ready for a change. Give Chad Gaudin a chance or, gasp!, reach down and pluck Kei Igawa from AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre. I wish now that the Yankees had made a play for Pedro Martinez who is scheduled to start for the Phillies on Wednesday. Heck, even Luis Tiant was looking good the other night on ESPN! Anybody but Mitre. I know, he pitched better tonight than his previous outings and it was a miscue (his, by the way) that was his downfall. But I am just not convinced that he is the answer…

The Yankees' seven game winning streak was halted with the loss, and they lost a game in the standings to the Red Sox, who defeated the Detroit Tigers, 6-5. Their lead in the AL East is now 5 ½ games. Of course, I've already read that the largest lead the Yankees have ever blown was 6 games in 1933. Julia is probably already writing about it on her blog…
Cody Ransom cleared waivers, and now heads back to AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre.
Today was a sad day with news of the death of Mickey Mantle's widow, Merlyn Mantle. She had been suffering from Alzheimer's, and made her last public appearance during a dinner before a memorial for Bobby Murcer. I lived in Dallas during Mickey's final years. I never saw the Mantles, but I attended Mickey's funeral in 1995 and used to drive by their condominium building on a regular basis. Just this morning, unaware of Merlyn's health, I put up an autographed picture of Mickey in my office.
On a brighter note, I heard that Aaron Boone is already playing baseball again for the Houston Astros' AA team, the Corpus Christi Hooks. He played third base and was hitless in two at-bats before departing. Less than five months ago, Boone was undergoing open heart surgery to correct a congenital defect in his aortic valve. That's incredible news. I suffered a stress fracture of my left tibia several months ago, and I am still trying to make a comeback. Boone is sliced open so the world can see his heart, and he is swinging at 90 mph fastballs. I'm a wimp. I thought that Boone's career was finished, and he proved me wrong. I wish him the very best as he attempts to make a comeback. I hope that the road leads to Houston. Good luck, Aaron, old friend…

Tomorrow night, I'll get my first taste of the San Francisco Giants rivalry with the Los Angeles Dodgers when I travel to AT&T Park. It will be my first time to personally attend a game in opposition to Joe Torre and one of my all-time heroes, Don Mattingly. On the bright side, I'll be wearing the same hat as my favorite closer of the 80's, Dave Righetti.
It just wasn't that long ago when I was cheering for Rags to close out games…
Hopefully, Tuesday will bring a new Yankees winning streak…

Hardly a wimp Scott.😉 You know – I can understand why you enjoyed that winning thing over the weekend – it feels SO good! lol! That is very sad news about Merlyn Mantle. I'm sure it is a difficult time for the Mantle family. And the news about Aaron Boone is amazing! I hope his recovery continues at such a quick pace. Nothing but best wishes to him!
I hope you have a great time at the game tonight; and all the Yankee connections? Enjoy! And how weird is it – you can follow along on most of the Yankees game before the Giants/Dodgers game starts!
Sorry to hear about your leg, Scott. I hope you're fully recovered now. And yes, it was sad to read about Merlyn Mantle. She and the Mick had such a stormy time of it, but I'm picturing them enjoying a much calmer life wherever they are now (with Mickey still the prankster, of course). Have fun at the game tonight!
I remember the days when our pitching staff would only give up five runs in a game, those were good times. That's really good news about Aaron Boone. Most people probably didn't think he'd ever play baseball again, including Boone himself, and I hope he makes it back to the bigs. I hope your leg manages a comeback of its own, and fully recovers, too🙂 Have fun at the game tonight, it should be a good one. The Dodgers are the Dodgers, and the Giants have some great young pitching (and Kung Fu Panda!, he's definitely my favorite non-Twin).-Erinhttp://plunking-gomez.blogspot.com
Have fun at the game, I've also wanted to see that rivalry for a while, and like you said, now Joe Torre's a part of it!
I am also really happy to hear that about Boone, and I can forget our history with him because it really is extraordinary how quickly he's recovered. I hope we may even see him in the majors again soon.

It has been a week, and I still cannot comprehend the horror of last Friday's shooting that left 20 6- and 7-year-olds dead, as well as eight other people, in Newtown, Conn.
My heart breaks for the children and their families. My heart breaks for the teachers and school staff who were murdered. My heart breaks for the mother who was murdered away from Sandy Hook Elementary School. My heart breaks for shooter Adam Lanza.
The question that most Americans likely have is, why?
What could have possessed this quiet 20-year-old to commit such a horrific act, a shooting unlike any other the United States has witnessed? More people might have been killed in other shootings, but none were so young, so innocent.
Almost immediately, Adam Lanza's mental health was questioned, and reports have ranged from him being a person with developmental disabilities to having various mental illnesses to Asperger's syndrome. But scarcely anything is known about the young man.
Whenever a tragedy like this occurs, two things are certain to come to the fore: firearms and mental illness. Both are pervasive in our society.
I will leave the argument about guns to someone else. I will concentrate on mental-health issues, which many people believe are the seed for such massacres.
If a crime is committed, it seems as if the mental health of the perpetrator is called into question, and all too often, it doesn't matter. And it casts an unfair, stigmatizing shadow on everyone who has mental illnesses. And there are a lot of us, anywhere from 20 percent to 25 percent of Americans at any given time, or 63 million to 78 million people.
"People with mental illnesses are no more violent than people without mental illnesses," according to the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law in Washington, D.C. "Yet, these kind of tragic events unfairly and harmfully tar people with mental illnesses as inherently dangerous. In fact, these Americans not only share the nation's horror at these events, but they also bear the additional weight of false stereotypes and discrimination needlessly reinforced by these perceptions."
As a person with mental illnesses – bipolar disorder, major depression and generalized anxiety disorder – I fully understand the reach of the stigma and prejudice that comes with these diseases, no matter how far along you are in recovery.
I like to think of myself as a success story for someone with mental illnesses. I'd rather not have them, but then people would rather not have heart disease, strokes or diabetes. But the discrimination over mental illnesses crops up in the most unexpected places. That is the insidious nature of stigma. And it needs to be fought with facts.
The fact that I take medications to help control my mental illnesses should not be an issue. Yet people make it their business. What medications? How many pills? Yes, I have been asked those questions to determine my fitness by people who are not psychiatrists or psychologists. Would they ask the same of someone with diabetes, which can be life-threatening, too?
The public is misinformed about the link between mental illness and violence, according to Mental Health Reporting of the University of Washington School of Social Work. And the link between the two is promoted by the entertainment industry and news media.
"Only about 4 percent of violence in the United States can be attributed to people with mental illness," Richard A. Friedman, M.D., wrote in Monday's New York Times. "Alcohol and drug abuse are far more likely to result in violent behavior than mental illness by itself."
People with mental illnesses are more likely to harm themselves or be harmed by others. For several years running, suicide has been the 10th leading cause of death in the United States. According to preliminary figures for 2011 from the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Vital Statistics System, 38,285 people committed suicide, more than twice the number of homicides.
And the method of choice is firearms. According to the latest figures released a year ago by the National Vital Statistics Report, 18,735 people used firearms in 2009 to commit suicide, accounting for half of all suicides. Suffocation – hanging – accounted for 9,000 deaths.
"A great majority of people who experience a mental illness do not die by suicide," the University of Washington points out. "Those who die from suicide, more than 90 percent have a diagnosable mental disorder. People who die by suicide are frequently experiencing undiagnosed, undertreated or untreated depression."
The unfortunate fact today is there are fewer resources in McHenry County for people with mental illnesses because of state cuts or delays in funding. As witness to that is last summer's shuttering of Family Service and Community Mental Health Center in McHenry.
People are falling through wider cracks, people who need help but can't find it.
Identifying mental-health problems and treating them early remain our best hope.
If you feel you are going to harm someone else or yourself, please call the McHenry County Crisis Line at (800) 892-8900. It is staffed around the clock by caring professionals who can help you.

The Beaverette foursome held on to win the 1,600-meter relay title in Class 1A Division 1 at the UIL State Track and Field Championships on Saturday in breathtaking fashion.
Blocker outleaned a surging Hayley Wilson of Goldthwaite at the finish line to give the Beaverettes a victory in 4 minutes, 1.16 seconds. Goldthwaite finished in 4:01.54.
"In was nervous, but I knew we had a good enough lead and I just had to finish," Blocker said. "I was just looking at the finish line the whole time."
Kotara and Cheatham gave Falls City a sizable lead after the first 800 meters.
"We had such a big lead and I was thinking, 'We could win this, ' " Cheatham said.
Moy preserved the Beaverettes' lead when she gave the baton to Blocker for the final 400 meters.
Wilson started gaining on Blocker in the final 100 meters, but Blocker held her off by half a step.
"I can't even explain how excited I am," Kotara said. "We knew we could do it if we just ran our race."
"I have been dreaming of this since I was a little girl watching state track meets here," Moy said. "I am so excited and so blessed right now."
The Beaverettes were denied a medal earlier in the 800 relay with a fourth-place time of 1:46.01. Dallas Gateway won the race in 1:41.99.
Falls City's Tyler Malcolm and Joseph Swierc just missed taking home medals.
In the Class 1A Division 1 boys pole vault, Malcolm finished fourth with a height of 13 feet, 6 inches. Bosqueville's Chase Hood won the event by clearing 14-3. Saratoga West's Morgan Patterson was second at 14-0 and Shelbyville's Mikel Carter was third at 14-0. Swierc was fourth in the Class 1A Division 1 boys 400 dash in 49.91.
Falls City's Phillip Lyssy, Matthew Stulting, Cameron Soto and Swierc placed seventh in the Class 1A Division 1 boys 1,600 relay in 3:25.70. Milano's Dominique Messer won the event in 48.92 and was followed by Shiner's Evel Jones (49.00) and Albany's Jake Bumgardner (49.17).

Minnesotans Question State's Ailing Insurance Marketplace
By editor • Aug 4, 2014
Originally published on August 4, 2014 5:09 pm
Minnesota spent $100 million dollars on creating its new health care website, and while the state has added some 180,000 people to insurance coverage, some are asking whether it was worth it for the state to embark on its own — or even have an exchange at all.

The victim, Alfredo "Junior" Solis, was performing with his group Base Blocc at the Ichiban restaurant.
After the concert he returned to his room at the nearby Quality Inn. A group of Spokane men, including Castro, were also there. A fight broke out and Solis was shot in the chest.
This was Castro's 3rd strike, which means he'll spend the rest of his life in prison.
