Hawaii Pacific Review: HPR 2012 Book Reviews
Night Flight
By Robert Frost
Main Street Rag Publishing Company, 2010
Reviewed by Raphael Quintinita
Robert Frost's book of poetry, Night Flight, begins as a collection of desolate portraits, a compendium of scenes about the absence of humanity and the speaker's search for some higher power, some greater source of life. The poems that make up the beginning of the book are devoid of human existence, and therefore paint a solemn yet haunting image of nature. The first poem in the selection, "Night Jockey", illustrates this absence through its sparse imagery:
An empty room.
a crucified fly.
The night jockey
rakes and combs stars into bins,
bridles restless ones
with yellow ropes.
Despite the presence of the Night Jockey character in this poem, it is important to note that there is such little exposition about him. Almost no description is used to explain to readers who this character is. We don't even know if he is human, spirit, god, or any other creature due to the lack of focus on it. The desolation in this poem does not stop at the human level but permeates the entire scene. The "crucified fly" gives readers the image of both death and insignificance in comparison to the larger picture, while even the stars and their majesty are being roped out of the sky to leave no light for the night.
After this first poem, the settings in subsequent pieces become less and less populated, invoking even more barren landscapes. "Mirror"'s setting imagines a sprawling desert. Its appearance in a reflective surface reinforces the sense of infinity that accompanies the infertile sands. As this happens, "… a skull humming" reminds readers of the lingering presence of death that seems to play a large role in these poems.
The tone of the book shifts in "The Bird". Here, death and desolation make way for a different kind of life that prospers in the absence of all else:
You can hear the black
shade calling
softly to itself
for directions
in the dark
The bird mentioned at the beginning of the poem gives the effect of ushering in of this darkness, this "shade". The images describe a creature, a spirit, a consciousness that is fumbling with its newfound existence, which appears in much the same way that night seems to materialize over time. However, the pace of the poem picks up and the poem concludes with a group of these shades, to repopulate the empty scenes:
The shadow joins
others calling
in the scratching
language of darkness,
writing black
into the air.
Even without these shades, Frost seems to inject the diagesis of his poetry with such uncompromising energy, that allows nature to quickly seize the foreground from the humans who have for some reason taken the back seat in this book. In "Lightning Tree", for example, the reader is struck with the motions and sounds made by tree and sky alike, and the narrative comes to a head when the birch flies "…away in a snowstorm with others of its kind." The theme of the poem seems to be moving towards a sense of togetherness among these different natural elements.
Possibly the best example of this juxtaposition between presence and absence, life and death, appears in the poem "Rainy Night Voices". For the great majority of the poem, there is absolutely no visual imagery with which to go by. Instead, the absence of a visual component is offset by the almost cacophonous plethora of sounds that make up the poem's soundtrack. The constant mention of voices rises to a crescendo until finally the creatures are released. From the mind, no less. This invites the reader to speculate on the theme of absence and presence in the microcosm of the human mind, as this poem seems to suggest is the setting.
Of course, to focus on a single theme like desolation of humanity and the power of nature means to ignore other subjects that feature in Night Flight. Frost's poetry does not all follow the same conventions established above. His poetry at times celebrates humanity, especially in his elegiac poems, which pay tribute to great artists and thinkers. One such poem is "Jackson Pollock", a piece inspired by the artist of the same name. In this poem, not only does Frost capture the style of Mr. Pollock through imagery ("atom tracks and galaxies that drift flotsam of light behind") but through form as well: Frost's poem is one long piece, not broken up into stanzas, exemplifying the rush of energy of a Pollock painting.
Much of Frost's poetry involves the imagery of abstractions such as night and shadow. In addition, many of his poems are also on the lean side, some as short as 11 words. Because of this, however, he sometimes falls into the trap of writing poems that are too vague. The imagery does not in this way contribute much to the reader's experience, and leaves readers quite dissatisfied. One example of this is "The Assassin":
The Assassin
In this poem, the lack of space available means that very little imagery is allowed, which offers readers barely a sketch when we want a portrait, a landscape. Its diction is so common that it barely leaves an impression with readers.
Despite a few shortcomings in terms of length and depth of imagery, Robert Frost for the most part succeeds in conveying a complex tone in many of his works, which utilize sounds and the incorporeal darkness to bring life in scenes otherwise devoid. It is a flawed book, but may prove interesting nonetheless for the reader who admires the secret beauty of ruin.

NFL: Buccaneers trade for Mankins
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers upgraded their struggling offensive line, trading for six-time Pro Bowl guard Logan Mankins instead of offering a contract to free agent Richie Incognito.
That doesn't mean, however, that the Bucs have closed the door on the prospect of giving one of the players at the center of the Miami Dolphins bullying scandal a chance to resume his career.
After acquiring Mankins from New England in exchange for second-year tight end Tim Wright and an undisclosed draft pick, coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jason Licht said Incognito remains an "option" if they decide to make more changes to an overhauled line that will begin the regular season with four new starters.
Seattle violated minicamp rules
RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks will forfeit two days of on-field minicamp practices next offseason after being penalized by the league for excessive physical contact during their 2014 minicamp.
The league confirmed the penalties on Tuesday. ESPN.com first reported the violation and that Seattle would be fined $300,000 for the infractions.
Seattle will be docked the first two days of its 2015 mandatory minicamp and will be permitted one 2ᄑ-hour practice on the final day. Seattle's players will be paid for all three days of the camp. The minicamp this past June was highlighted by a fight between All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman and wide receiver Phil Bates that was caught by television cameras.
Seattle also lost a pair of organized team activities during the 2012 offseason due to excessive contact.

Home › Forums › General Forums › Food, Hydration, and Nutrition › Sarah's recipe for Cranberry Macadamia Cereal Bars
Apr 9, 2011 at 8:50 pm #1271981
I tried her recipe some months ago, and it turned out good. Today I tried it again, and I made some changes to suit my own palate. Walnuts instead of macadamias. For the vanilla, I used half vanilla and half maple extract.
Also, I was trying to get better packing density, so when I had the breakfast cereal in the bag, I rolled it with a rolling pin, then crunched it by hand a bit.
It's still good. Thanks.

So glad to hear that – thank you! :-D
Cran-Mac Caramel Bars
12 oz box cereal of choice
1/2 c dried sweetened cranberries
1/2 c chopped macadamia nuts
1 c honey
1 c white sugar
1 T molasses
1 t pure vanilla extract
1 c natural peanut butter
At home:
Spray a 9×13 baking pan with cooking spray or butter it. Set aside.
In a large and tall saucepan heat the honey, sugar and molasses till it comes to a full boil. Take it off the heat and quickly stir in the peanut butter and then the vanilla. Mix in the cereal, cranberries and nuts with a wooden or silicone spoon till fully coated.
Dump into the pan and spread out, then pack in tightly. Let cool for at least an hour to set up. Cut into portions and tightly wrap in plastic wrap.
These bars carry well in a pack and do not fall apart as they are dense and nicely sticky.
Makes one tray (bars depend on your concept of a "serving").
This recipe was featured in the March/April 2010 issue of Washington Trails magazine on page 35. http://www.wta.org/trail-news/magazine
For the cereal choose a type with texture, flakes and crunchies work well. It doesn't need to be a sweet cereal as the caramel base is sweet enough on its own. If you have a favorite high protein/fiber cereal, by all means use it. Look for a 12 to 13 ounce box preferably.
And of course you can swap in your favorite nuts and dried fruits!
For the peanut butter crunchy is the best.Apr 10, 2011 at 4:03 am #1722660
Glad you mentioned it, Bob. I'm always trying to find a better energy bar recipe, and this looks like a very good one to try! How's the shelf life on these? I'm working my way through a batch from a similar recipe that uses a ton of honey and nuts. They're a little over a month old and still wicked good.Apr 10, 2011 at 8:35 am #1722687
Around here they never last long enough ;-)Apr 10, 2011 at 9:21 am #1722699
"Around here they never last long enough" <- Not Helpful :-P
Long storage life is good for sending mail drops to myself on long trails. Otherwise, short storage life is fine.Apr 10, 2011 at 11:13 am #1722734

Sounds good to me. I will give these a try on my next trip. How filling are they? I try to keep my calories to around 130/oz.Apr 10, 2011 at 12:16 pm #1722766
Just cut them in big chunks. It satisfies the need for crunchy/salty/sweet all in one :-)Apr 10, 2011 at 12:48 pm #1722781
"How's the shelf life on these?"
I'm not sure. The first batch of these that I made some months ago came out a little sticky, so I wrapped each square with aluminum foil, and that was not air-tight. Then I stored a dozen of those in a plastic bag, and it was not air-tight either. They stayed good and crunchy for a month or two, and then the crunch got a little soft. But, that's OK. I didn't finish them for three months or so.

I've probably made this recipe 20 times at least since Sarah first printed it. I, too, use walnuts, because they're what I have. I also double the walnuts and craisins in the recipe. I even made them once with a cup of chocolate chips, and amazingly, I didn't like them as well.
I've tried cheerios, wheaties, corn flakes, and bran flakes, and I've settled on corn flakes as my favorite cereal for them. I sometimes make two batches at once and cut each batch into 16 rectangles, then bag each one in its own baggie. They do keep just fine for several months – the longest I've tested their shelf life. Mr. B and I almost always take one each for our day trips, year 'round, which is why I make them so often. And of course, they're great for midday eating on our backpack trips. They do tend to get really hard when the temperature is below about 25 degrees, so if we take them on snow trips, we try to remember to put them in our pockets for awhile before trying to break our teeth on them. Someone in the first thread had asked about whether they have a strong peanut butter taste, and they don't. All the tastes blend nicely together.Apr 10, 2011 at 5:31 pm #1722929
Heh…the teeth comment had me laughing! When I first made them I still had braces on so I had to break the bars apart and mush each "bite" between my fingers and then eat.
Now I chomp away happily.
Eating (and developing recipes) has been SO much easier since my braces came off :-DApr 11, 2011 at 3:23 am #1723074
"They stayed good and crunchy for a month or two, and then the crunch got a little soft. But, that's OK. I didn't finish them for three months or so."
That sounds really great to me! I think I'll be making a few of these.Apr 23, 2011 at 2:12 pm #1728481
Alright, I'm a convert. These are fantastic. And relatively easy to make endless varieties. I'm on my second batch already! Thank you indeed, Sarah.Apr 23, 2011 at 5:00 pm #1728526
Thanks! :-DAug 20, 2012 at 1:03 pm #1904241

I just used batch of these on my CT thru-hike and they were one of my favorite foods out there. Very easy to eat, well balanced flavor. I'm going to try a batch with some whey protein to see if I can optimize them for long exercise sessions.Aug 20, 2012 at 1:34 pm #1904246
The only (small) problem I have with them is that they get very hard after a while. It would be neat if they stayed more on the chewy side. I'm afraid that I will break a tooth or something. I substitute walnuts for the macadamia nuts.

Over what time frame did they get hard? They were still nice and chewy for me five weeks after I made them.Aug 20, 2012 at 6:28 pm #1904347
"Over what time frame did they get hard? They were still nice and chewy for me five weeks after I made them."
Mine were rock-hard within a week or two. That suggests that there was something different about the way that I cooked the caramel mixture.
On something like ordinary cookies, I can make them softer by under-baking them.

I was on another thread where a link to this recipe was inserted and I was disappointed to see that the link did not work. Very glad that the whole recipe was listed out here, I will be trying this in the near term for sure.Oct 27, 2016 at 10:09 pm #3433198
Matt, the link I am going to bet didn't work because it was older :) I overhauled the site a few years back, and moved it to it's current version. The only downside was I lost permalinks on older forum posts.Oct 27, 2016 at 10:16 pm #3433199
I am thinking I got to your site and tried finding the recipe on it and still did not find it. Maybe I missed it?Oct 28, 2016 at 11:04 am #3433258
Well, doh, you are right. How the heck did that one not make the cross over? I'll get it back up there!Oct 28, 2016 at 2:10 pm #3433274

Flannery breaks down the win and all the questions surrounding the Celtics. Paul also gives us his take on the happenings around the league, including the situation in Houston concerning Royce White.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
John -- -- the after the Celtics cruised to a 10789. Win over the raptors in a rare Saturday game. At the garden today now joining me always happy to talk to. Paul Flannery does a tremendous job covering the Celtics and the NBA writer and columnist for SB nation dot com follow him on Twitter at. For all you NBA -- check on Sunday night's sending notes column always a great take has gone Paul. It -- well done area good man. Nice -- -- a comfortable win for the Celtics we haven't said that too much this season. There a couple of very helpful in the you know the most that the -- looked impressive statistic today of course the -- -- from Rondo. Which I'm sure we'll talk about but the seventeen minutes for Kevin Garnett yes was very much needed for them today -- All the way around couldn't concentrate more you know it's -- did Sunday right Saturday morning game. -- early afternoon games are very difficult. They -- they had to do that got out here the window is very easy -- a team that is not very good. -- Jason Terry has been playing well of -- he's he's figure it out you could tell he really likes playing with a Rondo who wouldn't. Especially pure shooter. But I want -- that we can mentioned Terry but also some of the other guys just this week I guess Jeff Greene played well against -- time. We -- about we know he's been up and down this season the play well Jerryd sellinger I think this was a did his best game and they're really good today. Courtney Lee who played solid against Brooklyn which I think was good for him so are they of these guys starting to get it they started putting together some of these ancillary guys. Yeah I think I wanted to get it you know starting Q is the operative. -- there again I think that the big game -- soldier you know he's got a double double first double double -- career there's to many many more for him. Eat eat -- he's struggling at times when he got bigger guys on the need to figure out how to get a shot off against the guys -- happen very Smart kid. Knows how to play the game and what she what she gets a twenty foot jumper down and very good. But they haven't run a lot of things for you you've been out there it's sort of like you know. Fill in the -- guys. As support for its option if you if you open the past and they really haven't done much or some running at the luxury of run for the post culture and today he played very well I think that I didn't call for the court -- I'm not really worried about accordingly he -- today is not come off to a good start -- just talk to would have little before the game and said you know defense. Because it's fine -- presence -- the effort he also let it you mentioned he played on teams that it won't really have. Let alone read all star players wondered to all star players -- his career at different kind of thing where you play off those guys and so -- make an adjustment. But look at -- he's a pro and you know you mentioned Terry Terry and yeah it's. So I think they are starting to get an and all of them really and you can you can you can see it up there on the court. You know another guy to -- -- a change of pace guy of -- some Celtics fans in my mind I. But you know extremely streaky player but he does give you that change of pace and he still. Has which I think is a good thing he still has Mark Titus and a Mike did talk Antonia that game. Absolutely I mean you know John Albert Europe I didn't think much -- and it made it I thought you have moved or what they had but you know I. Are both to me has been the biggest surprise so far this year because. That is that's what they needed that offensive sparked the offense to change pace that you thought I would he had played point guard Rondo was -- -- Thursday that's not really what you hear more but. You know ensure that it and our member. It's there to sell back in the championship -- -- in right center to Creighton but there -- a couple of -- within one game. And I think you might be able to see some of that of that with foreign policy here yet hope change it's never had a guy like that. And think about the opposite struggled at last year when you're just. It is sort of your head -- think if anybody on -- that score points you know for both Rebecca black. Which I would Paul Flannery of SB nation dot com check him out there -- -- sort of course on Twitter at. I'd now with. -- surprises although I think any other player you might say well I'm surprised he's playing but when it comes to Raj -- -- there's never surprises probably because. Well in terms of playing because we don't how tough a guy he is an editor but to. Do you think I I didn't think he'd end up playing today this was when I was tiger last night maybe they work command Sunday a little bit against Detroit so. It doesn't have total roast when they have the two big match -- coming up against San Antonio and Oklahoma City but what what did you think about him play today. Yeah I did -- an important. As of your ride there are bad -- an angle ankle responds differently you know at all because the weather swelling and how bad that is so and I did indeed look here look all that. You know the worst way today that he didn't have to drive all that much a couple of shots early as it opened everything up and Saturdays is it difficult part in front of them favor I've played so yeah. So you know you don't really know because you've got to see him go and Edgar sort of make a quick cut or whatever by. Yeah I got it -- at the point in his career now where he can go out what he's not 100% I think you could you 79% -- the classic Rhonda during the -- You know you can go out there he can still be effective he can be very very effective even when he's not -- under. Net. And it'd the other thing I think Rondo now we start again today he's knocking down a jump shot and and this this is. Really huge is Nepal when you think about all those lobs are at the -- game to Kevin Garnett we've seen it in the past but. You can even be more effective because now defenders are gonna play up on you a little bit more if you're knocking down that jump shot opens everything else sub you get that two man game he's he's had a with Kevin Garnett he's had it would. With Chris Wilcox we start today you know -- his own you drive a defender all the -- it opens up underneath firfer were a big. What what he meant that -- connection that's actually a part of my Sunday notebook I'll point I would that synergy. Well yes it's true in Europe at the -- ended. And he didn't say she can afford you. 8% a lot -- from that 1623 foot range. Which is now look back that the -- percent of notoriously -- they go up and down. But you can see not just vacant he did that he's taken what -- game that that -- -- -- right we did a couple. And -- the defense commit honest I'd pick and roll and a guy that's cool but the screen. He can do it he can just pick it apart and they they they really get Garnett go to the basket you. Killed -- Wilcox. Just -- killed Wilcox on this of those lobs and they can practically impossible for the as long if he can -- not even make it you know of course you -- -- goal percentage but -- got to take any economic confidence. And he's making them you know I'm not ready to say that does become you know -- all out there on the perimeter he hated it said that. But the same time. It -- that are aggressively that you got it you can't give him that much space. Would you give him that much space you're gonna make it or accurate are in -- forty cents. Also a fork in -- -- -- yes we broke up -- that we're a little (%expletive) yes it was a matter they'll be out of the numbers don't that it had a sister or ignite. But they talk about. The number doesn't really matter this point is that he's controlling the game. -- -- -- Yes and they have due respect that and the other part of it is it's not like this is he's taking a one shot clock winding down areas to force him up there. He's taking them play at times within the rhythm of the office. But how the other night and when they manipulate you to opt it was like first or second possession at a military positions secondary break it you know the -- -- pulled -- -- -- had to pull up jumper transition you never now. And the that the all of a sudden back to your attention and that's look at you know you got to honor that now wouldn't that ankle -- The other. It's the making their shots in the came over so. Rondo at the start that he -- -- -- that it intended is not too small a sample size to start really -- to a -- it. But that the first thing is he's had this year are they had been exceptionally good at different Rondo the people. People talk about it would call up at its best point guard that's that the other Soviet years but. But this is the guy that's the -- that they are talking about he has been phenomenal so far. We think is the best point guard at all yet I figured says that. I once it once again agreement either but. The it this streak you know the straight guy do you think he'll end up reached at 46 he knows about having -- That doesn't he goes yeah. I think you probably well didn't he get it within the one Milwaukee yesterday that got another two or let eleven but other game literally with a lot flow and you know I think we're really go to all that well had a drag it and stop the -- pick it -- it likes -- in the fourth quarter somewhat -- The games like that so you know to keep trying to it really isn't it. The thing you worry about waited in under the -- nobody's guys when he got to like edit it out there and they haven't been about the rest of their -- become distractions. Belt now yes -- I wouldn't put it past them but they get. -- -- need to. I said that earlier in the show I think if I would bet on it I'd say probably and -- get a get. Right guess what topic number one has been lately on the on the Celtics. Those game shows even today already. -- Darko Milicic -- just wrote. It's always I mean I just two guys that always come up more than anyone else so far this season is Darko it Jeff Green. All right two who will go would Darko here because of our had multiple texts and and calls about this already today all right. Are we gonna see amenity point. And I'm guessing they will I thought you might see a little bit of them I I know about his defense is pick oral defense but. Against Brooklyn when they were killing on the boards that go Jason Collins there and his first appearance as a member of the Celtics. What's going on there and what do you expect. -- god although you know at the end it it is to be -- to answer some of the factors in the college. Never really crossed my mind that South Florida and on the pecking order -- is right now. So yeah I'm not sure I mean I I I don't think they need another day in there to help out you know Wilcox -- given a lot right now and I'm not sure. You know they're they're very there that you would think at Arco would get another check of the and injury was improbable. And you cannot. Play you know I don't play much but he really didn't play well -- and -- and it doesn't take much to -- the other occasion and it's kind of hard to argue. With what they've been doing over the last you know success -- in -- -- to figure out that -- game -- after that -- would restart. Didn't play really well so it's hard to argue that this apology which ensure -- -- much are you. You do it related. Had a family and the family had managed him right okay good yet so he's -- excused absence they'd be able to have -- back tomorrow they're not sure yet. But you know -- darker gotomeeting. You know isn't that big -- right now. -- -- What can he offer in there. But I mean I know what block some shots I know -- there -- seven -- is decent passer as little bit of touch around and -- Basket like a pass buried get factored -- the basic block shark you're never gonna get rebounds. So you know -- it listen it's good for our question nobody -- evidence of. And the no I mean look at a -- into a move seen five minutes I heard Danny -- of the big shows say well he's gonna play and contribute at some point. Strategist you know the cut -- company line there but. The it's well you know what it is Paul really is in any mention it he's not a great everybody really nailed there is that. Everyone. And everyone's asking about the rebounding I mean again the rebounding is topic number one with this team and I said -- you know I don't know how much to improve again this has been a constant over the years they're just not a great rebounding team and I don't. I don't know about you but I expected to change -- -- at some point. They'd yell at someone that's religion to read about it right no soldier might be able help -- -- in that area bud but overall -- they kind of that's what they are. That but they are and and I mean yeah like you everybody good fortune understand that they don't care about -- ago. -- -- And so their numbers look a lot worse than Democrats I mean coming into this week. They were actually top five defense and rebounding rate which is the number I look at and never look at overall -- as delicate the defense and rebounding rate. Which is just you know it's it's how we had to -- that you get. In your opportunity. And they were in the top five and that which is fine now they got hammered and Utah would count on them which you target -- a lot of people because that's -- -- terrible matchup for them. They got all those big and athletic attacks. And then Brooklyn the Brooklyn saying with that they've got they got murdered on the board -- which is there is -- a lot. Gonna happen I don't know -- -- people but -- -- to -- I think it actually -- okay and it was 08 days well. Oh. Yes I mean that they don't care about offensive rebounds they feel good and they can purpose that they are that it's better play to get back on defense. So they're rebounding numbers are always people. And it. And I think they've gotten better in transition defense and that's real key for them. There actually isn't but I it'll look disagreement. So when -- -- when did you go up court and they're playing -- in order to -- that the bad match as a bad merit defense with a bad match rebounding wise and and I still think there may be you know -- If they can make a move -- another big guy who can rebound that Beckett inefficient because. -- Would I mean this we're looking way to analyze who could that -- not not the players so much read what would the end of -- here well probably guard I would guess. You know they indicate that they that the benefit is that could be very created and it would depend a lot a lot of it incident it would mean. You know it's no secret that the there are adjustments along on that got you creation after the here -- right now equivalent of saying it and into this he would consult. You know I give it a couple of months and see where that goes a minute ago -- -- you know -- -- -- There once guinier in my mind because -- previewed before you were coming up I was gonna talk to you about judgment but I. Well also well let's just get to a judgment that the latest firmer and you always love these rumors that are out there is is -- the lakers are interested in judgement in when -- know it's. Yeah exactly and we know it's probably no secret that. You know Paul Gasol as the emaciated I'm sure it would it would have to be a three team trade and ordered and facilitated Josh Smith trade to meet Atlanta's needs. Also curious I know -- best -- how's -- gonna work with Mike -- Antonio my estimates IQ we both thought Phil Jackson was gonna have ever -- -- that was gonna happen and now it's Mike did Tony. I didn't go to work out fine ethical and see how this all works out that it is increasing -- an elegant if the president of the obvious place for that this is they need more shooters. You know Blaylock got probably got Korver and make. Guys in this commute their their rookie it's agencies have really good shooter and more -- more it was tremendous shooter. So you know -- -- -- bad -- -- to me like you know they've penetrated the and they're gonna they gonna wait and see how that plays out. I think they're going to be fine. We had their -- I think you advocate coach and I think you can't believe they're going to be fine as it is -- Howard did consult -- -- percent -- you know. You're thinking like nick and nick were were top five top six he -- he last year. -- -- -- Because the titans and and Dwight Howard is every bit as cute -- Chandler. If not better and I think -- just about one guy can really help make that kind of -- difference I think it and I think they're going to be really get the question of the lakers is that there is no data on them at all. It's what I was gonna mention but hugest mentioned it. The other you know checking out the rest of the NBA I guess the flavor. Of the -- of the early start here well at least lately and it should be is the Memphis Grizzlies -- team to watch out for the west. They're good they're really good. They're really really good it is -- -- they've got some really good defense plan. And now Mike Conley is come into its -- as as a really in the wake up at my question about them. Is that they have enough scoring they have -- shooting right now they're getting great performances out of the bench guys like Jerryd Bayless and Wayne Ellington. You know who have never -- ever since those kind of players. When I wonder -- back and last but. The long is that the other and Zach Randolph it helped me this is that's its -- what -- because. It's that instead Tony Awards no part of the the Oklahoma City wants no part of Memphis in the playoffs and they'll -- to the lakers might take part. But if they went -- but I -- one of those two kids. That I'd be very very I think I think the emphasis for real I think the clippers are two real. And I kinda think that the knicks are for real although I'm not in the -- that ethic understand that the status but I think the knicks are going to be a bigger problem people. Now. While the healthy Zach Randolph when you're me you begin contributions they're from Quincy Pondexter and -- to Garrett -- that but that the knicks. They tooled and what's going to be like when Amare Stoudemire comes back. Well the immediate question John and -- -- that you all. I don't know I mean -- you know big as Carmelo it role model no end result Donald particular McDonald's sold at a decimal got a -- The market village staying because Carmelo has not played small forward at all this year at all -- -- their orbit and he's been a very very good warm it. That to me that that's a blocked his career. I think out of work a little convention you're really good look for -- it depends on you know these pretzel guy you know what that you have the complete conflict Arabic if they're played well you won't have much about it and -- -- -- You know at some point Eric Hitler and executed for the victories and it's completely Rasheed now is gonna Wear off and you wonder where that that lead them and if Jason tickets are. Okay has been really underrated. -- -- The knicks in terms of just kind of organizing. You know there. I mean you know Colin American alive at that but he was all done but he's been very good in that role in nine years old. You know also delivered to adopt a legitimate concern why don't but at the -- top prop up here. But -- -- the amid the public started but the -- Brooklyn I'm not sold on particular match. It landed so hey I guess you know that helped somebody's got -- second that he right at New York. The Andrew Bynum saga continues now -- -- both knees swelling -- both knees the -- Phillies center. -- is only what 25 years old and what's this going to be like the next few years to him. You know the question always about him has been focused on whether hot and and how much -- cares about the game. This you know real. Has to be worrisome for for Philadelphia. Yeah -- the -- I'm concerned whenever you're last week. Nobody nobody in their organization wanted to talk about Ed you know that -- for good reason because I think and you vote on the as. This that this problem can they were built around by the Doug Doug. Called the good coach. You'll get back into -- 43 games. Somehow some way they'll make well -- -- -- -- but they're not you know anywhere near as good as they would -- -- -- and then you start to wonder if he gets in all the years you know -- body's betraying him a little bit you know I hear you on the focus -- stopped when he played literally -- well it but it art. It's you know it's not so fortunate by the -- the body of the work. The last couple of questions here Paul has two questions. The Royce White the other saga that's going on right knee is now in the NBA -- -- -- they certainly went around the James Harden deal but. This route -- lightning the sixteenth pick. It's not going while the -- it. Note it's not going well then -- even reluctant to say a whole lot about it because I haven't been able to get a body down there to talk about it -- let's talk about it at first like reason. I don't think words why it affected. Don't think. I think you is a little bit misguided at this point it and -- lot -- -- -- the situation he's been. And -- that let it be known that you can be an advocate for mental illness when he got down there and that's what he's doing the same time. Yes it's a factual about things he got a -- year end of the bargain in your responsibility got to come to practice. Gotta come to gauge their duties saying that its supply situation. You know without knowing more without knowing all the ins and outs -- -- reluctant -- even yeah sort of get in there -- a little bit because. I don't think anybody wants to be the bad thing here you know I think I think both sides have good intentions. By EU met with. -- -- -- -- -- -- He says there are you not condensate which it -- if it goes like. Not you know I was. You know why -- ESPN last Aden they -- interviewing him and he seems very well spoken I don't know about his you know lose some of the things he said on on Twitter but. Really I mean this is he he's talking about potentially just walking away from the game. Yeah he's you know and and didn't think he's really got to reform we've talked -- -- -- -- really aged guy and he eco logical lines very Smart very artistic. At the same time you know. I remember informed of the I've heard from the pull together and learn from make it work and and yet they rockets. Rockets are pretty progressive organization that you can't work which used much of a lot of plays to the -- Yeah -- I've heard very good to their players down there. Lastly here idea and we'll wrap it up with the Celtics question justice overall weak you know it's really grow exe in the four games in five days which they wrap up tomorrow -- seven games ten days. It's the end of beating Detroit and we know there as an enemy and you mention it many of mission and if you focus on the MBA very talented players there. In and Greg Monroe but if they end up going. This week 41. You know I and I I actually think of their -- a bad loss was had at Brooklyn because. There were some things they did well particularly in the second half and it -- but. I think if they have one more night very solid week will you. Oh yeah I think it's called liquid or losing you know bad things always happen in Detroit let's not forget. That we head. We had a big baby is that a few years ago -- -- -- years ago it Rondo bald official you're bad thing that happened in Detroit let's not go chalking up -- just yet right but I still think it's it's it's such -- Connecticut start to get I think just aren't figured out we mentioned all the role players -- -- start to get their roles. The defense is starting to come together a little bit -- it's been very good it's been it's been certainly could not win most nights. So I think you know considering where they were a week or so ago when they were you know it looked really bad. And I think they've really found it in that fourth quarter against Milwaukee I think that's sort of turned the idea that big win in Chicago. It's so that it is definitely come and I mean I think it's gonna take some time -- and the other -- the question you know. What they look like in November is now they're gonna look like today I think everybody knows that so. But they are there to get nit -- -- themselves on the right track. Win lose or draw and it's in Europe it's with a big weeks ago and I think it's they've shown they've shown enough to think. It's to make me think that that first week -- -- an aberration and other net article it. All right excellent stuff as always Paul really appreciate take knows timeout as always. All right Paul Flannery check c'mon on SB nation dot com now it's time few out here 6177797. -- 37. The new text numbers 37. 937 your phone calls also your rush on Rondo had to say as well maybe we'll but it Doc Rivers after the break.

Four Players Pick Up Weekly Awards
Cambridge, Mass.-- Four baseball players received weekly awards from the conference office as America East teams enter the final week of the regular season with playoff seeding on the line. Stony Brook sophomore Maxx Tissenbaum (Toronto, Ontario/York Mills Collegiate),who helped the Seawolves stay on top of the standings and create some breathing room, earned Player of the Week honors. University at Albany junior Zach Kraham (Ghent, N.Y./Chatham) pitched a complete game shutout to grab the Pitcher of the Week accolade, while University of Maine DH Fran Whitten (Westborough, Mass./Westborough) and University of Hartford starting pitcher Kevin Veilleux (Manchester, N.H./Manchester Central) share the Rookie of the Week award.
Tissenbaum had an explosive offensive performance to lead first-place Stony Brook to a key series sweep over then-second-place Binghamton. The sophomore second baseman batted .538 (7-for-13) in the three games with a 1.077 slugging percentage and 14 total bases. Tissenbaum reached base in all six plate appearances in Friday's victory, going 5-for-5 with a walk. Of his five hits, one was a double and one was a home run. He scored five runs and drove in two for the game. Tissenbaum also homered in the second game of the series, and singled in the finale, scoring at least once in every game of the series.
Kraham threw a six-inning shutout in a rain-shortened official game in the nightcap of Saturday's doubleheader with UMBC. The junior righty scattered three hits without allowing a run, issuing two walks while striking out nine opposing batters. Kraham held the Retrievers to a .136 batting average. He struck out the side in both the first and sixth innings. Kraham picked up his fourth win of the season, good for second on the team.
Whitten hit .500 in four games last week with six runs scored and seven RBIs, including a walk-off, three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth in Maine's 5-2 win over Northeastern. The rookie then went 2-for-2 with four runs and three RBIs in Maine's 13-4 win over Hartford in the first game on Saturday, belting his second home run of the week. Whitten finished the week with a 1.200 slugging percentage, .667 on-base mark and 12 bases.
Veilleux went 1-0 with a 0.59 ERA in two appearances on the mound last week. He struck out 11 in 15.0 innings pitched, allowing just five hits and one earned run. Veilleux threw a complete-game shutout against Fairleigh Dickinson midweek, perfect through six innings. On Sunday, he entered the game against Maine in the third inning and allowed just one run and struck out six over 6.1 innings in the no-decision.
Stony Brook is now just one win or Maine loss away from clinching to the top seed and hosting rights for the America East Baseball Championship on May 25-27.

Here's a stat that should frighten any company board, chief executive or chief marketing officer to the core: consumers say they do not care if 73 per cent of the brands they use were to disappear overnight.
Yes, they buy them, eat them, drive them or bank with them but they do not give a hoot on a car horn if most brands were to implode in front of their eyes.
For all the investment that goes into designing, launching and marketing products – from cars and financial services to those on supermarket shelves – people remain entirely aloof. The problem is just not peculiar to Australia though.
The aforementioned figure comes from a study of 136,000 people in 23 countries by Havas Media Group, the French global media agency network that this week is landing in Australia to, in its words, shake-up the establishment.
At first glance it seems like it might make a fist of it, based on the mantra Havas says is needed in today's new world of customers, consumers and commerce. Brands have got to get real, transparent and have a broader purpose. And when you breakdown the numbers in the global Havas study, titled "Meaningful Brands", the signs of outright apathy from people in developed markets is even worse.
Across Europe, North America and Australia, of the 700 individual brands Havas enquired about from thousands of people, the number of brands that could happily bite the dust tonight rises to 90 per cent.
People don't care
"It's a wake-up call," says Havas Media's global CEO Dominique Delport. "People just do not care. Brands need to go beyond product features and re-engage with people because it is the only way for them to be much more meaningful."
It's a tricky business this one. The demand from investors and company bosses is for instant results and returns that in turn pushes organisations into short-term activity they hope will placate shareholders. But all it really does is reinforce consumer promiscuity around choice between competitors.
It's why we're hearing more from companies like Unilever and even some financial institutions about being "purpose-driven companies".
It sounds rather warm and fuzzy but they've got to try something because as of now, nobody could give a hoot.

(CNSNews.com) – Lech Walesa, a Nobel Laureate and former leader of the Solidarity trade union in Poland, which helped topple 50 years of Soviet occupation there and end the Cold War, went to Chicago, Ill., last week to endorse a conservative Republican in the gubernatorial primary race but the local media largely ignored him.
This near-blackout by the media occurred despite the fact that 1 million people of Polish nationality live in Chicago, making it the city with the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw, Poland, and despite the fact that Walesa himself was the first post-Soviet president of Poland (from 1990 to 1995).
On Jan. 29, Walesa endorsed Adam Andrzejewski in the Republican primary for governor of Illinois at a rally in Chicago. Walesa stressed that he and Andrzekewski shared the same conservative values and commitment to freedom and opportunity. (The Illinois governor's seat is up for grabs in a special race since Democrat Rod Blagojevich was impeached last year for corruption.)
However, a search of the Nexis news database shows that only one major newspaper, the Chicago Sun-Times, mentioned the Walesa visit and endorsement. On Jan. 24, on p. A5 under the sub-headline "TIPSVILLE II," the Sun-Times ran a two-sentence mention of Walesa's then-pending visit. On Jan. 30, the Sun-Times ran another two-sentence item about the endorsement on p. 11 of the newspaper.
"Former Polish President and Solidarity founder Lech Walesa made his first-ever endorsement of a U.S. political candidate Friday – long-shot Illinois GOP gubermatorial candidate Adam Andrzejewski," reported the Sun-Times. "He supports Andrzejewski for his stands, not just his Polish heritage, Walesa told a crowd in the Federal Plaza."
The other major Illinois newspaper, the Chicago Tribune, did not run a story about Walesa and Andrzejewski, according to the Nexis search. The Tribune did run an Associated Press story (129 words) on the issue on its Web site (www.chicagotribune.com), but apparently not in its print edition.
The Nexis search looked for the words "Leach Walesa" and "Illinois" and "Andrzejewski" together in the same story going back three months, from Nov. 2, 2009 to Feb. 2, 2010.
The search turned up 15 citations. Beyond the items mentioned, the Associated Press State & Local Wire ran a 2-sentence mention in a list of news items on Feb. 1, which was not carried by any of the major news media in Chicago. The other media hits included several blogs and a couple Web sites, including Politico.com and The Hotline, which is part of NationalJournal.com.
There was no local television coverage of the Walesa endorsement. However, ABC 7 Chicago reporter Alan Krashesky wrote a story about Walesa's endorsement that was posted on the TV station's Web site.
Walesa is considered one of the instrumental figures, along with President Ronald Reagan and Pope John Paul II, in helping to bring about the downfall of Soviet communism in Eastern Europe and the eventual disintegration of the totalitarian Soviet Union. In addition to the Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the Liberty Medal, and the European Award of Human Rights, among other honors, Walesa has been awarded 35 honorary degrees, including ones from Harvard University, Columbia University and the University of Paris.
On Nov. 15, 1989, Walesa spoke before a joint session of Congress, one of only a few private citizens to have done so in U.S. history.

Anyone blitzing through the annual San Francisco Flower & Garden Show may have been left with the impression that when the Bay Area isn't planting Japanese maples or potting orchids, it's installing vertical gardens. The show seemed to be wall-to-wall green wall.
The event did hold a few other discoveries, which we'll feature in the weeks to come. But make no mistake: Living walls spoke most loudly, if not most eloquently, from the showroom floor in San Mateo. "The Living Room" installation pictured above consisted of 19,000 succulents, said its designers, James Pettigrew and Sean Stout of Organic Mechanics in San Francisco,firstname.lastname@example.com. The exterior panels were made by a Michigan company called Bright Green USA, and the plants came from Succulent Gardens in Castroville, Calif., north of Monterey. Inside the structure, carved river rocks were aglow with LEDs.

Researchers at the Swedish medical university Karolinska Institutet have shown that hysterectomy - a common operation involving the removal of the uterus - greatly increases the risk of urinary incontinence.
Hysterectomy is the most common gynaecological abdominal operation in the world. It is normally performed as a cure for benign medical problems in order to improve life quality for the patients. However, the long-term effects are largely unknown, and it has long been suspected that the operation increases the risk of developing urinary incontinence, in many respects a very disabling condition that affects hundreds of thousands of women in Sweden.
Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have now shown that women who have had a hysterectomy are more than twice as likely to undergo surgery for urinary incontinence as women with intact uteri.
"It's important that gynaecologists take this into account ahead of a hysterectomy, and the patients should themselves be aware of the greater risk the operation entails, particularly if they belong to a high-risk group," says Daniel Altman, gynaecologist and one of the researchers behind the study.
The highest likelihood of incontinence surgery was noted within five years of the removal of the uterus, but the higher risk remains throughout the patients' lives. The risk increased most for women who had a hysterectomy before their menopause or after having undergone several deliveries.
The study was based on analyses of patient registers for the years 1973 to 2003, and incorporated over 165,000 women who have had hysterectomies and almost 479,000 women who have not.

AGA Releases 2013 FERC Manual for Natural Gas Utilities and Other Shippers, Sellers and Buyers of Natual Gas
Washington, D.C. – The American Gas Association (AGA) and Van Ness Feldman, LLP today announced the release of the 2013 Edition of The AGA FERC Manual—A Guide for Local Distribution Companies.
Since the enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, in which Congress gave the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) powerful enforcement authority, local distribution companies (LDCs) and other users of pipeline services have been a particular focus of attention from FERC's Office of Enforcement. In response, AGA commissioned this important manual.
The 2013 Edition of the AGA FERC Manual is an authoritative source of information about FERC's governing statutes, as well as the rules that affect LDCs and other shippers. The AGA FERC Manual is organized to be a user friendly reference guide. It includes sections explaining FERC's regulatory authority, offers insights about dealing with FERC's various offices, including the Office of Enforcement, and provides guidance about developing and reviewing compliance plans. Also included in the AGA FERC Manual are summaries of some of the more complex FERC requirements, restrictions, and pronouncements, such as Capacity Release Rules and Penalty Guidelines. The 2013 Edition includes new and revised tables, charts, checklists, and hypotheticals.
As was the case with the original AGA FERC Manual, Lawrence Acker is the principal author and editor of the 2013 Edition. Many other Van Ness Feldman lawyers are contributing authors. Their work on the AGA FERC Manual covers a number of new subjects not included in previous editions, such as:
- The evolution of FERC's consideration of pipeline tariff provisions dealing with service interruptions;
- FERC's rate treatment of expenses and investments made in light of pipeline safety legislation and evolving environmental standards;
- Limitations on pipeline market-based storage rates;
- How waivers of Capacity Release Rules for restructuring transactions have evolved from the extraordinary to the routine;
- Decisions of FERC and reviewing courts in litigated and settled cases considering market manipulation, including new restrictions on the scope of FERC's jurisdiction; and
- Cautionary notes about the authority of FERC and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
This Edition of the AGA FERC Manual is accompanied by a 10 DVD set of recorded seminars and discussions conducted by Van Ness Feldman lawyers that reflect the latest regulatory and judicial developments, as well as a number of hypotheticals to challenge the viewer. The DVDs include: History of FERC Natural Gas Regulation; Dodd-Frank: The New Landscape of Natural Gas Regulation; Pipeline Services; Obtaining Capacity Directly from the Pipeline; Capacity Release; LDCs as Sellers of Natural Gas and as Transporters; Standards of Conduct; FERC's Market Manipulation Rules After the Brian Hunter Decision; Enforcement, Investigations, Penalty Procedures, and Brian Hunter; and Compliance Planning.
The 2013 Edition of the AGA FERC Manual can be purchased by AGA members and the general public by clicking here.
Van Ness Feldman, LLP was founded in 1977 by former Congressional and Executive branch staff. The firm has offices in Washington D.C. and Seattle, Washington. Van Ness Feldman provides strategic business advice, legal and regulatory compliance counsel, representation in administrative proceedings and litigation, legislative and policy advocacy, and support for development, permitting, and transactions in energy and infrastructure projects. .

Greenville woman arrested in PTO case
GREENVILLE — A Greenville woman will be arraigned on March 1 for two charges relating to the embezzlement of the Walnut Hills Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) fund.
On Wednesday, the Montcalm County Prosecutor's Office issued an arrest warrant for the former PTO treasurer Laura Suzanne Outen, 34, of Greenville.
According to Greenville Department of Public Safety Director Michael Pousak, Outen and her lawyer were informed of the warrant and it resulted in Outen voluntarily turning herself in at the Montcalm County Sheriff's Office Friday.
Because she was able to post a $500 cash/surety bond Friday, she will be arraigned on March 1.
The charges she will be arraigned on included embezzlement of more than $1,000 but less than $20,000 from a nonprofit or charitable organization, a 10-year felony, along with uttering and publishing, a 14-year felony.
PTO President Christian Sowers said while he was reviewing accounts, he found charges he didn't understand and noted potential inconsistencies in the applications of procedures.
On Jan. 11 a complaint was filed with the Greenville Department of Public Safety.
Pousak confirmed to The Daily News on Jan. 17 his department received a report from the PTO and was investigating an embezzlement. He said at the time, the missing amount was believed to be between $12,000 and $18,000.
Greenville Public Schools Superintendent Peter Haines said PTOs are not directly affiliated with the school and are organizations that provide support for a variety of programs and needs not addressed in school operating budgets.

Next eight weeks vital if Scot is to have a chance at being No1.
Andy Murray insisted yesterday that the world No1 tennis ranking was "not something I think about on a daily basis", but as the Scot prepares for his first clay-court tournament of the year at the Monte Carlo Masters, he knows the next eight weeks are likely to be vital if he is to replace Novak Djokovic at the summit.
By his own standards Murray had a moderate clay-court season last year, when he was troubled by a back injury, while Djokovic reached three finals. The upside for Murray is that this clay campaign gives him an outstanding chance of making up ground in the rankings, particularly as Djokovic has fitness issues.
The world No1 hurt an ankle eight days ago while playing in the Davis Cup and although he has been practising here since late last week, he said it was by no means certain that he would be fit to play his opening match on Friday. He admitted he would not be making such strenuous efforts to compete if he did not live just down the road from the Monte Carlo Country Club.
Murray, who will meet the Dutchman Robin Haase or France's Edouard Roger-Vasselin in his opening match after a first-round bye, has a tough draw.
Although the world No2 is seeded to meet Djokovic in the final, in order to get there he might have to beat Stanislas Wawrinka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Rafael Nadal, who is seeking to win the title for the ninth year in a row.
Nevertheless, Murray goes into the clay-court season in much better shape physically than 12 months ago. A back problem, which had troubled him since the start of 2012 and forced him to withdraw from the Madrid Masters, led to his having eight pain-killing injections before the French Open, where he suffered severe back spasms.
"I've felt much better the last few days than I did coming into Monte Carlo last year," Murray said. "I think it's something that will always be with me. [I need to do] the right exercises, have the right treatment, the right amount of rest and not do anything silly or play other sports. I used to play a lot of football and golf. I've stopped all of that now and the back has been better."
Although Murray's results on clay last year were modest as he struggled with his back, his performances in 2011, when he reached the semifinals here, in Rome and at Roland Garros, showed what he is capable of on the surface he finds the most challenging.
"It's the movement that's been the thing I've needed to improve most on the clay, and I feel like I'm moving better this year," Murray said. "I feel good."
As for the world rankings Murray insisted: "I'm not preparing this week to try to get to No1, I'm preparing to try to win Monte Carlo. That's a big challenge for me."
Murray had a late night on Sunday, but he was not out on the town. Instead he was following coverage of the men's doubles final at the US Clay Court Championship in Houston, where his older brother Jamie won his first title for 18 months.
Jamie and the Australian John Peers defeated Americans Bob and Mike Bryan, the world's No1 doubles pair, 1-6 7-6 12-10.
"I tried to stay up," the reigning US Open champion said. "I went to bed at 2-2 in the second set. I just sent him a message in the second set saying: 'Whatever happens, it's been a great week. I'm thinking of you.' Then I woke up at five in the morning and saw that he had won."

Fear, at the right level, can increase alertness and protect against dangers. Disproportionate fear, on the other hand, can disrupt the sensory perception, be disabling, reduce happiness and therefore become a danger in itself. Anxiety disorders are therefore a psychiatric condition that should not be underestimated. In these disorders, the fear is so strong that there is tremendous psychological strain and living a normal life appears to be impossible. Researchers at the MedUni Vienna have now found a possible explanation as to how social phobias and fear can be triggered in the brain: a missing inhibitory connection or missing "brake" in the brain.
Inside the brain, the amygdala and the orbitofrontal cortex in the frontal lobe form an important control circuit for regulating the emotions. This control circuit is termed the brain's emotional control centre. Whereas in healthy subjects, this circuit has "negative feedback" and "calmness" was identified, scientists used functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on people with social phobias and found the opposite to be true: an important inhibitory connection is different in these patients, which may explain why they are unable to control their fears.
In collaboration with the Centre for Medical Physics and Biomedical Technology and the University Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy at the MedUni Vienna, the research team lead by Christian Windischberger was also able to discover through its recent study at the MedUni Vienna's High Field MR Centre of Excellence how the areas of the brain that are involved with processing emotions are able to influence each other.
The study participants were shown a series of "emotional faces" while undergoing functional magnetic resonance imaging. fMRI is a non-invasive method which uses radio waves and magnetic fields to measure changes in the levels of oxygen in the blood and therefore neuronal activity in individual regions of the brain. An analysis method developed at University College London was used to provide new perspectives on the data obtained.
Breaking the circle of fear When emotional facial expressions were shown -- from laughing to crying, from happiness to anger -- neuronal activity was triggered in the brain. The result: on a purely external basis, the test subjects looked no different, but the healthy subjects were kept calm thanks to their automatic "brake," despite the emotional nature of the images. For the social phobics, on the other hand, the photographs put their brains into "overdrive," triggering very strong neuronal activity. This was demonstrated very clearly using the new analysis method: "We have the opportunity not only to localise brain activity and compare it between groups, but we can now also make statements regarding functional connections within the brain. In psychiatric conditions especially, we can assume that there are not complete failures of these connections going on, but rather imbalances in complex regulatory processes," says Ronald Sladky, the study's primary author.
This better understanding of the neuronal mechanisms involved will now be used to develop new approaches to treatment. The aim is to understand what effect medications and psycho-therapeutic support have on the networks involved in order to help patients break out of their circles of fear.

Love tumblilng blocks!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Love tumblilng blocks!
Pam Riggs
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the first one... WOW !!!! love that its random.. so many blocks just POP !! You did an excellent job... Just love the way the first one turned out... WOW !!! four thumbs up all the way !
I really like both of them. They are both lovely in their own way.
First, consistency is hugely overrated, I agree with what others have said, the non-traditional treatment adds a lot of interest. I am close to done with my TV hand project, The Grandmothers Flower Garden. Sounds like this would be ideal for a hand work project.
Looks great. You said it was difficult. There is an easy way to construct the top in about a day. Kaye Wood has a pattern on her web site that I used with strip quilting. Very easy. Fast construction. Mary Korpal
I like both quilts. One day I will try tumbling blocks
don't give up, look for an easier way. I wanted to make a tumbling blocks quilt but didn't want to deal with all of those points... I had head that Kaye Wood has a pointless thing she does so I went to her site and found the Stacking My Blocks pattern there. It's so easy. I think she has a YouTube video on this technique too.
Me too. Looks great...almost like an Escher

If you are seeking a world-class educational experience within a vibrant, Christ-centered learning community, Cedarville is the place for you. Step up to the challenge of our arts, sciences, professional and graduate programs, and achieve more than you ever imagined. Be challenged and transformed by professors who are experts in their fields and invest their lives at Cedarville to mentor and guide students like you.
Cedarville University is continuing its commitment to campuswide networking, based on a philosophy of making information available to people who need it, when they need it, and where they need it. The outworking of this philosophy is the installation of networked computers in each office and multiple computer labs around campus. The underlying network, called CedarNet, serves as a vehicle for revolutionizing education at the University. Cedarville was an early leader in campus networking (CedarNet was started during the summer of 1992 through a business partnership with IBM.) and continues to set an example in the use of technology within higher education. The University provides over 2,000 computers on campus. Each of the 1,300 residence hall rooms includes two Ethernet ports and full wireless access. Support is provided for connection of student-owned computers (more information, see the Self-Provided Computer pages). There are presently over 2,000 student-owned computers on campus, bringing the total on-campus computer count to over 4,000.
CedarNet exists and is well-used because of intensive strategic planning efforts. The University produces a major technology plan every 5 years and performs quarterly assessments to determine how the plan is working. The strategic planning is influenced by the Technology Advisory Council (25 members from various industries around the United States).
Some of the major features of CedarNet include:
As Cedarville works toward remaining on the leading edge of technology integration, several projects have been undertaken recently:
One of the most popular areas of CedarNet is the library resources section. Students can access the library's on-line catalog from their dorm rooms 24-hours a day. Access is also provided to a variety of Internet based resources, including full-text newspapers and journals, periodical indexes, and application-specific databases. The network also provides access to subscription research databases on the Internet and to the vast resources of OhioLINK. Through OhioLINK, Cedarville students have access to over 25 million resources, can search the catalog of any public university library within the state, and can have identified materials delivered to campus for personal use within 48 hours. The Libary also has a custom application for mobile devices.
One of the reasons that CedarNet has been overwhelmingly successful is the enthusiastic support of faculty. Faculty members are using the network to prepare course materials, communicate with students, and deliver instruction in the classroom. All of the classrooms have network drops, wireless coverage, and a computer with projector (or large screen) installed. Furthermore, we have several classrooms where there is one computer per student. Many courses are offered in a "blended" format, where there is regular in-person instruction and then online instruction using Moodle.
CedarNet is based on SUSE Linux, RedHat Linux, Microsoft Windows, and VMWare software running on a series of Hewlett Packard servers. Most software applications are made available from these network servers, rather than loading the software on individual computers. Email and calendaring services are provided by Google.
The physical network is based on a twisted-pair distribution system within the buildings and fiber-optic cable between buildings. Network traffic flows between buildings and the network center via gigabit Ethernet or multi-gigabit Ethernet. Switching technology is utilized to segment network traffic and maintain good performance. All end-user devices connect at 100 Mbps or higher.
