So, when I entered my zip, the only options that popped up were FS Cincy, FS Detroit, and Comcast SN Chicago. Yet, when I enter Fort Wayne in (About 25 miles further from Indy) FS Midwest/Indiana pops right up. Same with Huntington. What the ****
Also, FW/Huntington show that channel as included in the regular programming.
I hate my life.
EVEN FREAKING OSSIAN HAS IT LISTED! That little crappy town is all of 8 miles NORTH. Why is it that I'm punished for living CLOSER to Indy?
Last edit...but, if you look at a map and enter zip codes directly north, and directly south, Blufftons zip is the only one that doesn't show FSI as available. This is absurd.

Looks like I have 2 options.
1. Pay for League Pass again. *sigh*
2. "Move" to Ft Wayne/Huntington, but don't require the installer to come out. Basically, change my service address by approximately 10 miles, putting me in a zip code that receives FSI. Un-frickin-believable.
Just for fun, I marked up a map of the areas around me. Literally, there is a pocket that isn't considered to be in the FSI viewing area.
I'd call Customer Retention and send them that map along with any proof that the other providers have your zip code in the FSI viewing area.
Problem with the Fox sports package is that even though you would get FSI, it would still black out any out-of-area games (you are supposed to have League Pass for that).
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
I'm probably just going to change my service address to Ossian zip code (5. Miles. Up. The. Road.) which will magically put me in the correct viewing area.
When I spoke to them on the phone, they claim they have no control over what zips get the RSN's, and tried to offer a pathetic discount on LP (Something like $15 off TOTAL)
I haven't paid for LPass since my Texas days, and I get all the normal Indy broadcasts simply because of my location. We do have the sports channel package due to premium, but even before that we got FSMW/FSI automatically.
I think Derek has clearly identified the issue which is what I assumed - DirecTV randomly chooses by zip whether or not he's in the FSI broadcast window. If they had him in then he wouldn't need LP or even the Sports pack, he'd just need the normal locals package. If he "moves" he shouldn't need to buy the Fox pack or LPass to see the regular Pacers broadcasts, which means every game this season.
Yes, DirecTV gave FSI an "always on" channel, 673. FSMW is 671, but you have to go to 673 for Pacers games.
I'm going to do the "move" thing to Ossian, as it won't mess any of my programming up (I'm still in the same area for locals). I guess some people try to game the system by "moving" to, say, LA from Indy, then using an antenna in Indy to pick up locals. This gives them all the NFL games in the LA market, as well as the ones in Indy.
I'm not trying to do anything like that, just get my damn Pacer games. Very frustrating.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Big shoutout to Matt and Sandman, as well as everyone that helped me wade through this mess.
I just changed my service address to Ossian, and voila! FSMW is live and working for "free". So, I've saved between $80/$180.
First beer is on me, guys.

Fall can get quite chilly in Chicago (where did I put my sweatshirt?) and the best way to warm up is a homemade bowl of spicy soup. With quality ingredients like Bob's Red Mill's Gluten Free Homemade Wonderful Bread mix, it is a cinch to turn an ordinary bowl of soup into something extraordinary! The bread develops a great crust that is perfect for holding a bowl of soup. Bread bowls are not just a luxury for our gluten loving friends, we gluten free folks can enjoy this fun way to eat soup as well! With the colorful 13 Bean Soup Mix, chorizo and some kitchen staples, it is a easy to pull together a delicious meal.
To make the 13 Bean Soup with a Kick, be sure to measure, rinse and soak your beans the night before. The next day, start the soup. As soon as it begins simmering, start making the bread. You'll be warmed up with a great tasting soup in no time! Freeze any leftover soup in individual portions so homemade soup can always be at hand.
13 Bean Soup with a Kick
Makes 8 servings
- 2 Tbsp Oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 Onion, sliced
- 1 10 oz package of Chorizo
- 1 cup Celery, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Carrots, thinly sliced in rounds
- 1-1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill 13 Bean Soup Mix
- 4 cup stock (such as Pacific Natural Food's Vegetable Broth)
- 1 14.5 oz can Diced Tomatoes in their juices
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 1 tsp Chili Powder (or more, to taste)
- Salt and Pepper
Wash 1-1/2 c dried beans, then rinse and soak in water overnight. Drain and rinse the beans in the morning.
Add oil to a Dutch Oven. Over medium heat, sauté garlic until aromatic (about 30 seconds) and then add the onions and cook until translucent (about 10 minutes). Then add the chorizo and cook. Drain any fat. Then add the celery and carrots and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Add the dried beans, stock, diced tomatoes, and two bay leaves. Season with chili powder, salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to boil then reduce to simmer for 2-3 hours or until the beans are tender. Skim the top of the soup and discard any fat from the chorizo.
To serve, ladle soup into bread bowls.
Makes 4 bread bowls
(Recipe modified from package instructions)
- 1 16 oz package Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Homemade Wonderful Bread Mix
- 1-2/3 cups room temperature (non-dairy) Milk
- 1 whole Egg + 3 Egg Whites
- ¼ cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
Empty the contents of the mix into a stand mixer's bowl. In a separate bowl, add the yeast packet to the milk and let foam for 5 minutes. Then add the milk/yeast, egg, oil and vinegar to the bread mix. Mix with regular beaters (not dough hooks) for 3 minutes, scraping down sides of the bowl as necessary. Wet hands and gently mold the dough into four smooth rounds and place on a seasoned pizza stone. Brush oil on top and cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for about 35 minutes. Remove the plastic cover. Bake at 375°F for 30-40 minutes. To test for doneness, tap loaf with fingernail. A crisp, hard sound indicated a properly baked loaf. Let cool on a wire rack. With a serrated knife, carefully cut out the center circle of the bread. Remove bread on the inside of the loaf to make it hollow, being sure to leave about 1" of bread on bottom and sides.

If you've been to see a movie in the past six months, you've no doubt seen the trailer for Shrek the Third, which is coming out in May.
One of our Games Director's interests while at convention is to see all the new plush offerings. She then prognosticates which ones will be the most coveted six months down the line and places some huge orders for her department.
She had no problem viewing the cute little penguins, the colorful Care Bears, and the bouncy-bouncy basketballs.
But when she wanted to check out the Shrek merchandise for 2007, everything changed.
The Baby Shrek plush, it seems, is classified.
And behind closed doors.
No cameras allowed.
And the top-secret plush won't even be shipped until the wee Shrekling has been introduced to the media sometime in the spring.
Totally enjoying the skulduggery, our Games Director slipped into private viewing area. Her eyes danced as she later told us how cute those Baby Shreks were.
Come to think of it, though, she offered no description. Hmmmmm.
The rest of us may get to see roller coaster layouts way ahead of time. We'll be the first to sample the goodies at the Plymouth Rock Cafe. We'll even get to try out Turkey Whirl next month and sample various new brands of toilet paper.
But when it comes to the Shrek: The Next Generation, we're in the dark along with everyone else.

OO: Ozfan's Opinion - CM Punk's Heel Turn
by, 07-27-2012 at 11:00 PM (4343 Views)
[FONT=times new roman][B]Hey everyone. I'm back to share with you my opinion on CM Punk's recent heel turn on RAW 1000 against The Rock. I hope you all enjoy.[/B]
First off, this is the dumbest move made by WWE in recent years. If anybody should be turned heel again, I think it should be Kane, because Kane is slowly becoming a face once more but it just does not fit him. But for now, I am here to talk about CM Punk.
When Punk was a heel in 2010-early 2011, WWE wanted to change him from heel to face, which they did but it was so hard to do it because he was leader of heel stable, The Nexus and because he was too brilliant at being a heel. That was the same with Randy Orton. It was easy to turn Orton face because he was in a stable and they got Legacy to turn on him and Orton immediately became a face wrestler. Instead, they had Punk say what was "on his mind" but he was still a heel. He started getting a good reaction from the crowd for his "pipe bombs" and after he won the WWE Title, he became a "tweener" with a "return" to WWE one night after leaving.
What helped finalise his FACE turn? Standing up to the big guys like Triple H, who was C.O.O. at the time of his turn. He did it so well and had a smart ass, "do what you want and don't take anyone's crap" attitude. Also, after defeating John Cena twice for the title, he was helped into a face turn by the returning Kevin Nash, who laid Punk out, allowing Alberto Del Rio to cash in Money in the Bank, seemingly costing Punk the WWE Championship.
Since then and until now, Punk was one of the greatest wrestlers in WWE. He still is but I do not think it was smart for WWE to turn their WWE Champion into a heel, at least not so soon.
What does this prove? There has to be a reason for this. Yeah sure, Punk will most likely be going one on one with The Rock at the Royal Rumble in January but why turn him heel for THAT?! John Cena hit an Attitude Adjustment on Rock a year before their match at WrestleMania and Cena is still a face. Why not do the same for Punk and plus, when it is a major Face vs. Heel, you can kind of guess that Rock will win BUT with a Face vs. Face, you don't know for sure that the major favourite will win. It was like Cena vs. Rock, everyone knew that Rock would beat Cena, but they weren't 100% sure. In fact, in some of the moments in that match, people were having second thoughts and were starting to believe that Cena was going to pull it off.
I don't know if that supports my argument on why turning Punk heel was a mistake but they are still good reasons to point out. I think they should turn Punk back into a face, maybe after his match against Rock for the WWE Title. Have Punk and Rock shake hands, turning Punk face at Royal Rumble. I don't know but I think Punk should stick with being a face.

Rosemary Orange Bread Recipe
Meet the Cook: Of all the herbs, rosemary is my favorite. This bread goes great with a roast, chicken or pasta with red sauce. It's especially festive to serve at holiday time. My husband and I have three young children - ages 6, 3 and 1. -Deidre Fallavollita, Vienna, Virginia

Today's Close Will Be the Real Test
The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) policy statement isn't having too much impact on the market. So far, there has been a slightly negative reaction due to the comment about economic activity pausing. The Fed chalks it up to weather and "other transitory factors" but the important thing is that they will continue to run the printing press and buy more bonds. There is no indication yet that the Fed is even thinking about unraveling any of its quantitative easing efforts and it is still unconcerned about inflation.
Despite the benign Fed, the market has been losing energy today; the small-cap indices are actually seeing the weakest day of the year. Since we have barely seen a downtick, that isn't a very high bar -- but it is a slight change in market character.

So the myth isn't real? Oh no...
He chose the Mavs because he didn't want to go to a lottery team in Phoenix.
He wouldn't have signed for 4 million for multiple years. This is a show what I can do for a year, and get my real contract.
to be fair, i don't think our FO had a chance because of the timing.
He was waiting for Phoenix, Phoenix was waiting for the Hornets, and we had no time/didn't want to wait.
If we had "real" cap space like the Mavs (as opposed to "temp" space until Hibbert and Hill were officially signed), we might've done much better.
In hindsight, our free agency looks very rushed. We overspent on some pieces, we wasted some assets; it's very anti-Houston.
But to be fair, there are things we don't know. Maybe Hibbert didn't want to delay that much. Maybe we cleared the cap off Dahntay/DC in hopes to land another piece, and it simply didn't work out.
Actually, that's even more of an incentive for the Pacers to bring him in. Low risk, high reward.
We got Gerald Green for cheaper. If Green continues on what he did last year, I'm perfectly happy having Green over Mayo.
that seems to be the Pacers FO view on things. plus Green is able to cover both wing spots.
Think that 11 mil was us?Smith said Mayo turned down one contract this summer that was worth $11 million. He said he also turned down an offer from the Phoenix Suns that was worth between $9 million-$10 million so he could play for the Mavs.
Gosh I hope not. That would be insane money for Mayo.
I think more likely it was the Bobcats or some other young team. Or could just be a ploy by his agent saying, "Some team offered him $11 mil and he declined so if he does good this year, the bidding starts there for his next contract." I don't think it will work out that well if that's the truth but you never know.
Didn't think of that. If it was 2 yrs 11mil then yeah I could see us offering him that.
I'm glad OJ is on Dallas. Sick and tired of hearing about this under-achiever
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
Augustin/Mayo/Green/Power Forward/Mahinmi is one hell of a bench next year, once we go after Mayo part V - The Empire Strikes Back
Mayo does not want to come off the bench. That is the reason he took less money to play in Dallas......

Gardenhire hoping to avoid makeup game with Dodgers
MINNEAPOLIS -- With rain and cold weather in the forecast all week, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire reiterated how important it was to try to complete Wednesday's game against the Dodgers, especially considering the Dodgers don't come back to Target Field this season.
The Twins saw back-to-back games at Target Field postponed due to weather, including Sunday's game against the Tigers and Tuesday's game against the Dodgers. The Twins and Dodgers are set to play in a split-doubleheader Thursday, but rain is also in the forecast then.
If the Twins and Dodgers need to make up a game, it'll likely be May 19, a mutual off-day for both clubs. The Twins are home at May 18 before heading to San Diego for a two-game series that begins May 20, while the Dodgers finish a series in Arizona on May 18 before heading to New York for a three-game set that starts May 20.
But Gardenhire said that would be the worst-case scenario, as both the Dodgers and Twins want to complete their three-game series by Thursday.
"It's terrible to fly in for a game for one game," Gardenhire said. "You just play the game and go back on the plane, and you don't even get stay in a hotel. It's a whirlwind. It's not much fun."
But the clubs were able to start Wednesday's game on time despite cold temperatures, and Gardenhire said he remains hopeful they'll be able to play both games Thursday.

What makes an auction special? Is it the battery of TV cameras, the fame-starved pseudo-celebrities sprinkled throughout the crowd, or the witless nouveaux riches bidding unexceptional vehicles into the fiscal ionosphere for reasons that defy economic logic?
Call us naïve, but we'd like to think it's the quality of the cars, particularly now that there's less disposable income floating around with which to underwrite the occasional contest for, ahem, anatomical bragging rights. That outlook would seem to be shared by the people at Auctions America by RM, whose 10th Annual Collector Cars of Fort Lauderdale event took place on March 16-18 at the Broward County/Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention Center.
Paging through the preview catalog in the days leading up the auction revealed an eclectic but uniformly impressive slate of vehicles--including more than 60 Corvettes--with none of the scantily documented "rarities" or garish vanity projects that tend to show up at some of the other marquee auctions.
Of particular interest to us was the Tony Parella Collection, an assemblage of 26 exceptional Corvettes drawn from the first through fifth generations, including one car representing every model year from 1953 through 1969. Parella, a telecommunications executive who spent more than two decades acquiring the cars, was sanguine about his chances when we spoke with him during Thursday's preview session. The availability of reserve pricing through Auctions America--a feature not offered by some of the other big auction houses--probably didn't hurt.
"I feel like I've put reasonable reserves on the cars, so if some of them don't sell, I'm happy to take them home with me," he told us during Thursday's preview session.
Wandering the aisles, we encountered a refreshingly diverse array of Corvettes, from affordable low-mileage C3s and C4s all the way up to big-block Sting Rays with projected six-figure values. Factor in the laid-back atmosphere and general absence of contrived hoopla, and Fort Lauderdale provided a welcoming environment for a bidder of any experience level to purchase a weekend cruiser--or make a long-term investment.
"We aren't on TV like some of competitors," said Auctions America president Donnie Gould, "so we rely on the quality of the cars to set us apart. And because we don't chase consignments, the sellers who do come here tend to be by swayed by our approach."
It sounds like a winning philosophy, and the results would seem to bear that out. In all, 72 percent of the vehicles at Fort Lauderdale sold during three days of bidding, generating a little more than $16.9 million. Corvette sellers fared even better, moving 54 of 64 cars for a sell rate of 84 percent.
And Parella? Every car in his collection found a new home, including an extraordinary '53 model that brought $176,000--the most for a Corvette at the event.
The lesson here is that, regardless of geography or the state of the market, quality still sells--even if there's not a TV crew around to document the proceedings.

Jan Robinson had a career in Midwifery Education for many years then branched out into independent practice in the early 1990s, attending homebirths mostly in the southern suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, where she lived. She now maintains a small clinical practice in the inner Sydney city area while continuing to be involved in midwifery education on a casual basis. Apart from homebirths, Jan's current project is completing her booklet "Setting up an Independent Midwifery Practice in Australia." She also enjoys meeting as many like-minded midwives as possible which happens when she conducts perineal repair workshops for midwives around the countryside. Jan tells us: "It is gratifying to see rural midwives beginning to take on their own 'caseload' and taking responsibility for providing total maternity care of healthy women."

Midwifery in Australia
Thank you for another informative article by Marsden Wagner, "Technology in Birth: First Do No Harm." (midwiferytoday.com/articles/technologyinbirth.asp). If every obstetrician spoke the truth like he does it would be a rich world for pregnant women. I've suggested to Marsden that he add Australia to his comment, "The United States and Canada are the only countries in the world where highly trained surgeons called obstetricians attend the majority of normal births." This is one of Australia's main problems—overworked, overpaid obstetricians practising midwifery, with the benefit of a Medicare rebate for services rendered to healthy women and babies.
In May of this year I sent the following to "The 7.30 Report," a nightly news show in Australia:
A false impression is passed on to the public. As much as midwives celebrate this new era of government health reform, midwifery cannot be one profession until the discrimination is lifted. It could well be our votes that Mr. Rudd [former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd] will need to rely on in the coming election. [Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard defeated Rudd in June 2010.]
Our profession has made great steps for midwives in the past year to reclaim midwifery, to be recognised as a profession in our own right and to be a respected voice on the world stage. Yet, Australian women who birth with midwives at home remain penalised under the leadership of the Health Minister, Nicola Roxon and the Rudd government. While access for insurance is exempt for two years, there is no insurance coverage or Medicare rebate for homebirth. All women must birth in hospital to receive these and other benefits. This is the backdoor way of denying women their right to have midwives attend them at home. How long do midwives as a profession intend to let this discrimination continue?
I also wrote the following to the governor of New York:
As a midwife of 35 years practising for the past 25 years in homebirth I write to you to express my concern about the state of New York making qualified midwives illegal. Attempts have been made to do the same in Australia. However, during some difficult times and lots of lobbying the Australian government and the Health Minister have chosen to recognise the right of women to choose midwifery services in the home.
World evidence shows that homebirth is as safe as hospital birth, if not safer. Midwives who have put their careers and life into the care and well-being of women and babies should be supported by bureaucracy with appropriate back-up services within maternity service institutions.
While governments continue to allow the medical profession to control maternity services, women will continue to suffer the trauma of major, unnecessary interventions in normal labour and birth. Midwifery will eventually be forced underground, a return to the dim, dark ages. Women will not give up seeking the services of midwives to rightfully birth at home.
I hope you will listen carefully to the women and the midwives of New York City and assist in paving a logical and sensible way of solving this problem. Institutions and doctors must morally consider why they are denying services to women and experienced midwives.

Update on Australia
Even though Australian perinatal statistics show that privately insured women who have a private obstetrician and deliver at a private maternity hospital are six times more likely to incur a surgical birth, privately insured women mostly believe that "best care" equates with highest costs. One in every four Australian women has a cesarean section, and almost the same proportion suffers significant postnatal depression. The medical profession has eroded women's confidence in their birthing abilities to the degree that even essentially healthy women feel they need an obstetrician present at their birth. It is not until after the first unexpected caesarean section that some women begin to question whether they could have traveled down another pathway for their birth, and they begin to explore other birth options. Unfortunately most women who have obstetricians have been convinced that their c-section was absolutely necessary, and they are easily convinced that the elective operation with the same obstetrician is the way to go with their next pregnancy.
It is very difficult for midwives in private practice to compete with obstetricians because they do not have government support to obtain Medicare provider status. Nor does the federal government assist midwives to obtain malpractice insurance as they have done with obstetricians and GPs attending births.
There is also public ignorance to contend with—the public knows lots about medicalised pregnancy services because doctors spend lots of money on advertising their services. The vast majority of pregnant women seem happy to follow the medicalised pregnancy pathway as depicted on media advertising by the Australian Medical Association. Midwifery birth options are not well identified despite midwifery organisations and consumer groups attempting to do so.
The other problem Australian midwives faces is the general apathy found amongst members of our profession who refuse to move forward and out of their comfort zones in hospital employment. Many of these midwives stay in the same job for years, never updating or looking to gain new knowledge through attending conferences or seminars. They do not belong to professional organisations nor interact with consumer groups and therefore do not ever keep abreast with what women are wanting out of today's maternity services.
My guess is that this situation is unlikely to be reversed until lots of women who have experienced continuity of care with a midwife get up and talk about it, write about it and shout about it. The only way to rectify the situation is through public education. Only when public demand for "world's best practice" (i.e., continuity of care with one midwife) reaches fever pitch will politicians listen and push for birth reform. At the moment there just aren't enough mothers and midwives doing this to raise political interest; they don't have the numbers or the money to make an impact.
However, midwives and women are beginning to work together through Australia's peak national consumer organisation, the Maternity Coalition. The Maternity Coalition is raising monies and organising demonstrations to educate both politicians and the public about what constitutes "world's best practice" and starting to raise the public profile of the midwife. The number of maternity reformers is gradually swelling through consumer involvement.

Small 12" figure company Asmus Toys is thinking BIG with its latest announcement of taking on the denizens of The Lord of the Rings in 1:6th scale. Planned to be a long-term, 5-year project, Asmus' take on the classic Tolkien characters will be categorized into 4 different series:
- Heroes of the Middle-earth will be the premier line of important characters. Presented by well-known heroes such as Arragorn and Gandulf, who will be built in top quality head sculpt, realistically accurate clothing, and mixed media accessories. Each hero will have its own custom base, and together they will be puzzled into a huge battlefield diorama. Also, heroes dont necessarily have to be the good guys.
- Man of West and Army of Mordor will feature the soldiers from both sides. Some of the familiar faces we see in the movies but not as important as the heroes. Examples include Urakais, Orcs and even Merry and Pippen.
- Armors in the Battlefields is a series of products that will contain only armors, weapons and clothing. Collectors can use whatever figure body they have at hand to custom a figure in a relatively cheaper price. In this way, collectors can put together an army on an affordable budget.

D-backs recall pitcher Tyler Skaggs as 26th man
The Arizona Diamondbacks (@Dbacks) recalled left-handed pitcher Tyler Skaggs (@TylerSkaggs37) from Triple-A Reno as the 26th Man for today's doubleheader vs. Texas, according to D-backs' Executive Vice President & General Manager Kevin Towers.
Skaggs, 22, was 4-5 with a 5.23 ERA (30 ER in 51.2 IP) in 9 starts this season with Triple-A Reno. In his last 3 starts, he went 2-1 with a 2.66 ERA (6 ER in 20.1 IP).
Skaggs was 1-3 with a 5.83 ERA (19 ER in 29.1 IP) in 6 starts with Arizona last season. He earned the win in his Major League debut in the first game of a doubleheader on Aug. 22, 2012 vs. Marlins (2 ER in 6.2 IP).
By rule, he will be optioned back to Reno following the conclusion of the doubleheader.

OAKLAND -- Jeremy Lin and Monta Ellis never were slated to be the Warriors' backcourt, never should've been the backcourt and were sent away within a few months of each other last season.
The Warriors moved on with other plans and are proving this season why they were smart to move on.
But Ellis and Lin haven't been forgotten by Warriors fans. How could they be?
Which gives an intriguing dimension to the coincidence of Lin's Houston Rockets playing the Warriors on Friday at Oracle, followed the next day by Ellis' Milwaukee Bucks.
These aren't the first trips back to Oracle as opponents for either guard, of course.
Ellis played with the Bucks at Oracle almost immediately after the trade last year; Lin has been back several times since his departure and his explosive emergence as a true NBA playmaker.
But the Lin/Ellis Bay Area convergence -- and guaranteed fan double-appreciation -- is a good a time to look back at the Warriors' decisions, and how those decisions led to a stronger backcourt.
Basically, the Warriors have Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson now, which is why they don't have Ellis and Lin.
They're also in line to make the playoffs right now, which they weren't when they had Ellis and Lin.
Ellis sold tickets for the Warriors, no doubt. Lin, if he'd ever played much for the Warriors, would've been an incredible sensation in the Bay Area.
I expect some Warriors fans will always pine for those two -- either separately or together.
But, while Curry and Thompson aren't a perfect duo, this is the best backcourt fit the Warriors have had since Baron Davis and Jason Richardson.
And it's built to last a lot longer.
"They're there as a fit," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said of Curry and Thompson before Friday's game. "Two guys that can flat-out shoot the basketball. Two guys that are weapons.
"Obviously the thing you want to do is continue to get better as far as handling the basketball. ... That's Klay's next step, and he's gotten better than he was last year."
Interestingly, both Lin and Ellis were discarded by the Warriors in order to land a center.
First, Lin was released in December 2011 to gather up as much money as possible in an offer sheet for restricted free-agent DeAndre Jordan.
But the Los Angeles Clippers matched, so the maneuvering went for naught.
A few months later, the Warriors traded Ellis, Ekpe Udoh and Kwame Brown to Milwaukee for a package featuring center Andrew Bogut, who, of course, was hurt at the time.
And has been hurt for most of this season, though Bogut is back playing now and occasionally giving the Warriors exactly what they've needed for years: defense in the paint, intimidation, some good post passing.
Lin was expendable because he was just an afterthought (though favored by co-owner Joe Lacob) when he went undrafted in 2010, because the Warriors wanted to keep Charles Jenkins (released last month), and because they already had Curry and Ellis dominating the ball.
Then Ellis was expendable because he and Curry didn't mesh well, were too small to match up against bigger backcourts, and Ellis was making noises about wanting a contract extension.
Also: Because they had Thompson waiting in the wings -- someone with the size to defend tough wings and the shooting ability to drive defenses crazy.
OK, clearly, this backcourt has some issues. They both have trouble staying in front of quicker guards, and neither is a true dribble-penetrator.
Thompson, at times, plays haphazardly and, if he's not hitting shots, can be a nonfactor for long stretches.
But how many backcourts in the league are definitely better than Curry and Thompson? Not too many.
They've made more 3-pointers than any starting backcourt in the league, at a good percentage, and Thompson's defense has been sneaky effective at key moments.
You sure couldn't ever say that about Ellis' defense during his time with the Warriors -- or now, even as his offense ticks up for the Milwaukee.
"He's a very good defender -- his length, size, pays attention to details," Jackson said of Thompson.
"We've put him on Tony Parker, we've put him on Chris Paul, we've put him on Russell Westbrook, we've put him on James Harden. And those are tough covers."
So ... Lin and Ellis are exciting players, doing exciting things, and they're not Warriors anymore. For different reasons, they shouldn't be forgotten.
It's a good time to acknowledge that. But it's also a good time to remember what the Warriors have in the backcourt -- and how crucial they are to everything the Warriors are doing.

One of my favorite perfumes!This scent is luxurious!! I always spray a perfume on my forearm and walk around the store to decide how my pheromones react to the scent and how it smells to me.

Minus the top notes?The initial spray hits you with strong fruity floral scent that I was turned off immediately. These sweet fruit scents are definitely for younger girls. But after a while when the top notes diffuse, the underlying notes are the more different, mysterious, hypnotic, which is addictive and more subtle. Too bad they had to overkill it with the top notes. — 7 years, 10 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews
Sweet, Fun, Young, Feminie, PlayfulMiss Dior Cherie is a very unique fragrance. In their layers of notes it contains scents that include Caramel Popcorn and Strawberry.

It may smell at first like alcohol which is normal, but after a few minutes it will start to warm up on your skin. Walk around for 15-20 minutes which is the time it takes for fragrances to settle in and reveal their true scent.

Agreeable ScentThis is a pleasant aroma that's very feminine with a touch of spice.

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
In late June I had the extreme pleasure of attending the American Library Association's annual meeting, aka ALA. And I say pleasure because in addition to hanging out with some of my favorite Harper colleauges (you can see why at their Library Lovefest blog) and meeting up with Betsy-Tacy friends from the Maud L listserv, I got to see and meet some of my favorite authors. (forgive these photos, took them with my phone which was fine for tweeting, but clearly, they are not good enough for the blog).
The weekend started off with dinner on Friday night with Katrina Kittle, who I simply adore. She was one of my first guests on Book Club Girl on Air - to discuss her wonderful novel The Kindness of Strangers. Her new novel, The Blessings of the Animals, about which Booklist just wrote, "with subtle yet shimmering insight, Kittle explores the resilience of human nature and the indelible role animals play in healing shattered emotions," goes on sale on August 3rd. I had recently finished Blessings and found so much to discuss in her story of a woman who is recovering from an unexpected divorce and dealing with her teenage daughter while tending to sick and injured animals in her veteranarian practice. We talked about the novel, how it was born and shaped, as well as her extensive garden (and I've been thinking of her tomatoes ever since). On Saturday Katrina signed galleys of Blessings for an impressive lineup of librarians. At some point during the day, Lizz, one of my fellow Betsy-Tacy fan friends from cyberspace, popped in to say hello. It was great to meet her in person, especially when I later read this post over on her blog about how to tell librarians and vendors (read: publishers) apart at ALA. She nailed it.
Also signing on Saturday was Emily Gray Tedrowe, author of the debut novel Commuters. I finished the novel on Saturday night, but already knew that I loved it when I met Emily. She tells the story of a family matriarch who remarries a wealthy many late in life and the effect that this union has on their children, their grandchildren and the small commuter town in which they live. The story is told from the perspectives of the grandmother as well as her daughter, who is dealing with immense changes in her life as the result of a mysterious fall her husband has taken; and through the wealthy man's grandson, a recovering drug addict struggling to find himself in New York City. I can't say enough good things about this book, I read it in about two days time. Here Emily is with book blogger Rachel from A Home Between the Pages.
After a quick lunch with children's book specialist Kathy Baxter (fellow lover of the tomes, who actually MET Maud and the real Carney!) it was back to the booth for Jessica Anya Blau's signing. She signed her great debut The Summer of Naked Swim Parties - which is a wonderful story about a teenage girl's coming of age in the 70s with parents who embrace an alternative lifestyle. Jessica's new novel, Drinking Closer to Home (possibly the best book title ever, imo) is coming in Winter 2011. She also wears really great shoes.
Sunday morning brought us the lovely Adriana Trigiani, and as if by magic coincidence, Julie of Booking Mama, along with her friend from Aaron's Books in Lititz, PA. I will forever, I think, associate Julie and Adriana after our BEA tea. I slipped Julie Katrina's last galley which was hidden away just for her, and helped Adriana with the virtual hordes of people who came to her signing. It was crazy and I had to "Katie bar the door" at the end just to give her a 10 minute break before she had to go over to the Live Stage to read. But she bore it all, as she always does, with flair and charm (and a well positioned face powdering brush). Her new book of nonfiction, Don't Sing at the Table: Life Lessons from My Grandmothers, is coming this fall, along with the paperback of Brava, Valentine (both on sale 11/9). It was also so nice to meet Daphne Kalotay, who was signing the gorgeous AREs of her forthcoming novel Russian Winter (on sale 9/7). Janet Mullaney was also on hand to sign galleys of her Jane Austen-as-a-vampire tale, Jane and the Damned, along with magnets and a t-shirt to match!
In the early afternoon I headed over to the Charlesbridge booth where Mitali Perkins was signing copies of her PW Starred Review new novel Bamboo People which is now on sale! Mitali has written the foreword to this fall's reissue of Maud Hart Lovelace's Emily of Deep Valley, and is such a fantastic promoter that she wore a t-shirt with the book cover for Emily on it! I am forever in her debt, and also love the Charlesbridge team, they couldn't be more supportive and helpful. Look for more on Bamboo People here soon.
Back in the Harper booth author M.L. Malcolm was signing, in one of her signature fashionable hats (this woman rocks the hat) and she was giving away mints (a very good idea for people who've been locked in a conference center all day). Librarians were gobbling up her Heart of Lies, a smart, exciting historical suspense novel set in Europe, Shanghai and New York before WWII that has been compared to Jeffrey Archer and Susan Howatch. Heart of Lies is the first novel in a trilogy that will continue in Winter 11 with Heart of Deception.
We rounded out the day with Roy Blount, Jr. signing copies of his forthcoming study of the Marx Brothers Hail, Hail Euphoria (on sale 9/28) which I've just started and am really enjoying. After some feverish unpacking of boxes of galleys for the final day of signings, it was time for a night off!
Monday am brought Dennis Lehane and the longest line in history to our booth to get a copy of his forthcoming novel, Moonlight Mile, on sale November 2nd. I first realized just how long the line was when I snuck out 30 minutes before his signing was set to start to get a copy of the Evolution of Calpurnia Tate signed by Jacqueline Kelly. I was two whole aisles away when I suddenly realized that the chain of people that was growing next to me was in fact emanating from our booth. After a quick hello to Jacqueline, I high tailed it back to the booth help out.
That pretty much wrapped up ALA for me, though there was still a day of activities left, but I had my reprieve and headed back to DC's beautiful Union Station to catch a train back home. I love spending time with librarians and I had such a good time talking with and learning from them. Throw in our great authors and my colleagues, and it was a pretty amazing way to spend a few days. For those who missed it, you can still catch the Harper library team's book buzz presentation.
In celebration of librarians and libraries, I have two Banned Books bracelets to give away. Simply post a comment about your favorite library or librarian, or any great story about a library and I'll pick 2 random winners from all those comments received by midnight ET Wednesday, July 28th. (US and Canada only please).

Healthy Eating Tips for People with Lupus
Bad eating habits can make it harder for your body to fight lupus. Luckily, simple changes in what you eat can make a big difference in how you feel day to day and protect your body–especially your heart–from lupus damage. The first step to healthy eating: Cut back on the Bad and eat more of the Good.
The Bad
Fat: Fried foods, fast foods, and foods made with oil and butter are usually high in fat. Eating too much of these foods can increase your risk for heart attack, stroke and diabetes. Try baking or grilling foods. Think fresh foods, not fast foods.
Caffeine: Coffee, tea and soda almost always have caffeine, which can irritate your stomach and keep you awake. Cutting out caffeine gives your stomach an important rest, especially if you take lupus drugs that already bother your stomach, and can help you sleep better.
Salt: You'll need to cut back, especially if you have lupus kidney disease or high blood pressure.
Alcohol: Mixing it with drugs (even Tylenol) can be a danger to your health.
The Good
Fruits & Vegetables: These are great sources of vitamins, minerals and fiber. They should make up the majority of what you eat.
Calcium & Vitamin D: If you are taking corticosteroids to treat lupus, you are at risk for osteoporosis–a disease that weakens your bones. Low-fat yogurt, cheeses and milk are high in calcium and Vitamin D, which can make your bones stronger. Also, by drinking milk while taking certain medications, you can avoid upsetting your stomach.
Whole Grains & Wheat: Eat more wheat and whole grain breads and cereals that are high in fiber. This can prevent constipation and reduce your risk of heart disease.
Low-Fat Proteins: Fish, chicken and beans are better for you than fatty meats. Eat baked or grilled fish, like salmon and tuna that are rich in heart-healthy omega-3 oil.
Water: Drink at least 8 cups of water a day. Drinking plenty of water is good for your whole body, from your kidneys to your skin, and can help you to control hunger.
Common Question:
I was just diagnosed with lupus. What lifestyle changes do you recommend?
Suggestion: Being sick can be hard work, but you can and should do things to make yourself feel better.
In addition to basic healthy habits–eating well, not smoking, staying active–try to stay out of the sun and conserve your energy.
Also, make lifestyle changes to reduce stress, which is believed to trigger lupus flares–making your condition worse. You may need to cut back on hours at work or get friends and family members to help ease the demands in your life. Try to be flexible. If you're tired, rest. If you're in pain, stop what you're doing. Know your limits. Lupus is not an easy disease, but it can be managed, and you can continue to live a full life.

I have been taking writing courses for the past two years and I just want to say that I found your course to be nothing short of excellent. The lessons from this course will be placed in the top drawer of my writer's toolbox. Thank you.
Thank you! This course is fabulous. I feel competent and with some practice and my resource materials have confidence I will only improve. Again, thanks!
Excellent instructor--teaches on many levels. I appreciate that the material offered allows students to go deeper and further into their studies, if they wish.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the enormous amount of material offered for skill exercises and development. I learned so much more than I remembered learning in school and I will refer back to the material as I continue to write meeting minutes for my admin position. The instructor provided sufficient information and was great!
This instructor has once again exceeded my expectations in designing a course in a manner that encouraged me to enjoy learning. I feel that, more than in other courses I've taken, the design of this course and the attitude of the instructor has resulted in my maximum retention and practical application of the material. Thanks so much.
I thoroughly enjoyed this class and have already seen an improvement in my writing skills. I am a copywriter at a advertising firm and before taking this class was experiencing a lot of frustration with my writing. Your approach to free writing along with proofing has helped me not only express myself better but also improved my organizational and proofing skills. Thank you!
This course was challenging, but I enjoyed every minute of it! Now I know my grammatical weaknesses and I can work on improving them.
Thank you, Ann! This course was very well put together and easy to follow. I thoroughly enjoyed this course and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to brush up on punctuation and writing skills. Thanks again!
This course was amazing. There were numerous examples and the learning material was the equivalent of a college textbook (knowledge-wise). I just can't say enough about this class. It was great!
I'm in grad school for nursing. I've been a RN for six years and was told I need to sharpen up on my writing skills for the remainder of my schooling. I was not thrilled about taking any writing course, but I will say this class has helped me a lot. I'm glad I took this course! Thank you for making this course easy to understand!

ST. LOUIS, MO--(Marketwire - July 09, 2012) -
"The FDA approval of Mitosol® for use in glaucoma surgery was the culmination of six years of collaborative work with the FDA and clinicians," said Ed Timm, President of Mobius Therapeutics. "Only then could we begin the important process of manufacturing sterile filled vials and sterile procedure kits. Now that we have sufficient inventory on hand and manufacturing optimized, we can begin providing surgeons, hospitals, and patients an uninterrupted source of supply of this important agent used in the surgical treatment of glaucoma."
Glaucoma is the second-leading cause of blindness in the United States. It is treated progressively, beginning with pharmaceuticals, then office intervention and finally surgery. Mitosol® provides a new system for delivering a precise dose of its active ingredient, mitomycin-c, for use by ophthalmic surgeons in procedures without any change to their current technique.
"With Mitosol®, all key incentives and stake holders are aligned," continued Timm. "Critical issues concerning safety, sterility, consistency, potency, and economics are now all harmonized in favor of providers and patients. With Mitosol®, everyone wins."
Full prescribing information for Mitosol can be found at www.MobiusTherapeutics.com.
About Mobius Therapeutics, LLC:
Mobius Therapeutics is a commercial stage venture focused on ophthalmic surgery solutions. Its first product, Mitosol®, is a system for delivering antifibrotic agents in glaucoma, refractive, and corneal surgery. The glaucoma indication is in active commercialization; the refractive and corneal indications are awaiting approval by the Food and Drug Administration. Mobius is housed within the Center for Emerging Technologies in St. Louis, MO.

WAYNESBURG – The jury trial of a Waynesburg man accused of raping a 13-year old Morris Township girl July 15, 2011, will continue today at 12:30 p.m. in the Greene County Courthouse.
Charles Edward Cumberledge, 19, of 735 Race St. was held for trial after an April 11 preliminary hearing before Magisterial District Judge Glenn Bates. Cumberledge was charged with rape, sexual assault, statutory sexual assault, aggravated indecent assault and indecent assault.
The alleged victim told police she was playing video games with her younger brother when Cumberledge, their baby sitter, called for her to come to an upstairs bedroom. She said she believed he wanted her to bring him a phone but after she entered the room, he pushed her down and raped her.
The younger brother of the girl said he went upstairs to check on his sister and, after looking through a hole in the door to the room, saw Cumberledge on top of her while she was kicking and hitting him. The boy said he entered the room, flipped the lights on and off, ran downstairs and locked himself into a bathroom. It was at this point the alleged assault stopped and Cumberledge left the room, according to the girl.
Trooper Daniel Barnhart of the state police criminal investigation unit said he spoke with Cumberledge at his residence March 13. Barnhart took over the case when the original investigator, Cpl. Mark Schmelzlen, was promoted and transferred to the Washington barracks. Barnhart said Cumberledge told him he had not been at the girl's residence since spring 2011 and denied ever having any type of sexual contact with her. He confirmed he had baby-sat for the girl in the past but always with someone else there, such as her brother, Barnhart said.
When asked why she might accuse him of such a thing, Barnhart testified Cumberledge told him he had once told on her for not doing her chores or cleaning her room when he was at her house. Barnhart said Cumberledge had difficulty remembering some details of summer 2011, including the names of two girls he said he was dating. Barnhart testified Cumberledge indicated he had memory issues related to being struck in the head by a tree branch.
"He said he tries to block things out that he doesn't want to think about," Barnhart said. Cumberledge's defense attorney Harry Cancelmi told Barnhart he didn't think that "sounded that unusual."
A registered nurse from Washington Hospital who examined the girl Sept. 9, 2011, testified there was no visible or physical evidence of the rape at that point and tests for sexually transmitted diseases were negative. She told Cancelmi that statistically, 95 percent of children who are sexually assaulted have completely normal exams and she could not determine if the girl had or had not been sexually assaulted based on her examination. She added it was the responsibility of the police to determine if an assault has occurred. There was some confusion as to a trip the girl made in the accompaniment of her stepmother to Southwest Regional Medical Center prior to the exam in Washington. The nurse testifiedthat she did not have knowledge of the visit to SWRMC but knows they do not examine children in cases such as this.
The day ended with the prosecution resting its case. The most serious charge of rape, a first-degree felony, holds a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and up to a $25,000 fine if Cumberledge is convicted. He has been held in the Greene County Prison on straight cash bail of $30,000 since his arrest. Judge Farley Toothman is presiding over the trial.

Forsythe, Quentin remain out of 'A' games
PEORIA, Ariz. -- There was no Logan Forsythe or Carlos Quentin in the Padres' lineup for Friday's game against the Mariners -- and manager Bud Black isn't sure when or if they will appear in a Cactus League game.
"It's getting a little closer to the season and we're hoping for these guys to be in a good spot physically in the next four or five days to feel good about their bodies," Black said.
Forsythe hasn't appeared in a game since March 7 because of plantar fasciitis of his right foot. Forsythe is no longer wearing a boot and said earlier this week that he could be in a game soon.
Forsythe figures to see a lot of time at third base now that Chase Headley will start the season on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured tip of his left thumb.
Quentin, the team's projected left fielder, has played in three Minor League games in the last six days -- Sunday, Monday and again Wednesday, when he played three innings in the outfield for the first time this spring.
Quentin aggravated his surgically repaired right knee earlier this month, though he remains optimistic that he'll be ready for Opening Day on April 1.
Is Black worried either of the two or both could begin the season on the disabled list?
"We're not to that point yet," he said. "Let's hope not.
"I don't think there's a make-or-break date to see them. There's not a drop-dead date."
The team breaks camp Thursday before heading to San Antonio to play two games against the Rangers at the Alamodome.

Matt Kenseth called it a "dream come true" when he held off Kasey Kahne to win his first Sprint Cup race with Joe Gibbs Racing last month.
He enjoyed a sense of deja vu on Sunday, beating Kahne again to win again for Gibbs.
Kenseth dominated the early part of the STP 400, and then returned to the front when it counted at Kansas Speedway.
Kenseth, who started from the pole, held off Kahne late in the race on a day when JGR saw its three other drivers all wreck, including Kyle Busch.
Kenseth, who led 111 of the first 112 laps, became the third straight driver to win from the pole, following Jimmie Johnson at Martinsville and Busch at Texas.
"This is a dream come true to drive this car," Kenseth said. "This car has been incredibly fast all season. These guys are contenders. I'm glad to be wheeling this thing."
Kahne challenged Kenseth over the closing laps, pulling to his inside with two laps to go, but could not catch him on the final lap. Kenseth and Kahne also finished 1-2 last month at Las Vegas.
It was Kenseth's second Cup victory since joining Gibbs this season. He had won 24 Cup races during his 13-year career with Roush Fenway Racing.
"I really thought he had me," Kenseth said. "My car started to get loose, and it got really loose with about five to go."
Kahne, however, was fighting the same condition on the fast but treacherous track and couldn't make a move around Kenseth.
"Matt was fast. I did everything I could," Kahne said.
Jimmie Johnson finished third followed by Martin Truex Jr., Clint Bowyer and Brad Keselowski.
Keselowski rallied from an early collision and a penalty to finish sixth with most of the sheet metal ripped from the back of his car. He scored a top-10 finish four days after he and his Penske Racing team were hit with major penalties for a technical violation last week at Texas. Keselowski and his team are appealing the penalties, which include 25 points, a $100,000 fine and the loss of three crewmen, including crew chief Paul Wolfe.
Keselowski and several other drivers carried decals on their cars honoring the victims and heroes of Monday's Boston Marathon bombings.
"We've got BostonStrong on the back of the car, and that is good inspiration for this weekend," Keselowski said. "It was just a gritty effort by the 2 team. You're usually not happy unless you win, but when you have all the trouble we had today, to come back with a sixth, it feels like one."
Kahne climbed to second in points but Johnson opened up a 37-point lead — the largest of the season — with another top-five finish. Keselowski slipped to fourth in points this week after the 25-point penalty, but climbed back to third, followed by Greg Biffle, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Carl Edwards, Busch and Kenseth.
Kenseth beat Truex off pit road on Lap 222 and then pulled away from Truex on the restart. Kahne quickly swept past Truex for second and began his Chase of Kenseth.
Rookie Ricky Stenhouse Jr. was leading the race when he got caught on pit road when a caution flag came out with 50 laps remaining. Stenhouse, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Carl Edwards, who had all been running at the front during a long, green-flag run, wound up at the rear of the lead lap after the untimely caution.
Stenhouse rallied to finish 11th, his best finish of the season, while Earnhardt wound up 16th and Edwards 17th.
Kyle Busch's hot streak ended when he spun and crashed on Lap 102 and collided with Joey Logano.
It marked the third wreck of the weekend for Busch, who had won two of the past three Cup races and entered the race with five straight top-five finishes. Busch simply couldn't get a handle on Kansas, one of his worst tracks.
"Just spun out twice all on our own," Busch told reporters after climbing from his car. "I just don't know what to do at Kansas. … The car just snapped out from under me in every corner."

"The political elite living in the Westminster bubble are totally out of touch with the real world, where people struggle to make ends meet.
"We in UKIP are fully grounded and understand the concerns of people faced with the sometimes harsh realities of life. And that is one of reasons why voters are coming over to us in droves."
