Hershey Bears President/GM Doug Yingst enters his 33rd season with the organization in 2014-15. Hershey's back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010, as well as the club's win in 2006 have all come under Yingst's stewardship and the team's affiliation with the Washington Capitals. Working in tandem with Washington VP/GM George McPhee, Yingst once again brought the front line talent and necessary roster depth to central PA as the Bears defeated the Texas Stars four games to two in the 2010 Calder Cup Finals. It marked the first time in AHL history a team rallied to win after losing the first two games of the series at home, and for Yingst, it was his fourth Calder Cup victory. The four championships tie an AHL record, jointly held by several, including Frank Mathers.
The Bears have recorded the best five-year run in American Hockey League history, winning three titles and advancing to a fourth Final appearance in 2007. With no fewer than 27 teams in the league during that time, the Chocolate and White have played hockey in June four times since 2006. For his efforts, Yingst was presented with the Thomas Ebright Award, given for outstanding service to the AHL. Yingst also claimed the James Hendy Award in 2006, presented to the outstanding executive of the year in the league. He is only one of four men in league history to win the award twice.
During the current affiliation agreement with the Capitals, the Bears posted an American Hockey League record 60 wins in 2009-10, and also won a then-franchise record 51 games in 2006-07 under current Washington head coach Bruce Boudreau. The agreement between the two franchises has not only produced many players for the NHL level, but also two members of the coaching staff that have worked closely with Yingst. Boudreau was promoted in November, 2007 to become Washington's head coach, and Bob Woods was named the team's assistant coach in the summer of 2009. Woods claimed the 2009 Calder Cup title, following in Boudreau's footsteps soon after. Current head coach Mark French then won the 2010 title, the third straight coach under Yingst to win a title.
Yingst has been Hershey's President/GM since the 1998-99 season, and represents the club on the AHL's Board of Governors. In 2010-11, he was named the chairman of the league's Executive Committee, and has served previously as chairman of the AHL's Competition and Marketing Committees. Yingst was first named Hershey's general manager in 1996-97, winning the Calder Cup in his first season with new job responsibilities. From 1991-96, he was the Assistant GM/Director of Hockey Operations for the team, and from 1988-91 served as Assistant General Manager under the legendary Frank S. Mathers. Yingst began his long run in the Hershey organization as the sales and promotions director in 1982, and also won the AHL's Ken McKenzie award in 1988, given annually by the AHL to the person judged to have done the most to promote his team.
One of Yingst's greatest accomplishments in hockey came in February of 2000, when his Hershey Jr. Bears hockey team won the 2000 Quebec Cup in Quebec City. It was a feat repeated in February of 2009 and again in February, 2010 when the Jr. Bears repeated as Quebec Cup champions, the same two years that Hershey won back-to-back Calder Cup titles. Often compared to the Little League World Series in the United States, the Quebec Pee-Wee International Cup tournament brings more than 100 youth hockey teams to Quebec City every year.
Yingst has been called into service from time-to-time as Hershey's assistant coach, most recently in 2007 when Bruce Boudreau was named head coach of the Washington Capitals. In 2003, with head coach Mike Foligno hospitalized, Yingst teamed with interim head coach Paul Fixter to win Game 3 of the 2003 Western Conference Quarterfinals over the Chicago Wolves. It was also the first playoff game win for the Bears in Giant Center history.
A terrific all-around athlete, Yingst is a charter member of the Palmyra High School Sports Hall-of-Fame. He was inducted into the Central Chapter of the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame in November of 2000.
Troy Mann, 44, returns to Chocolatetown for his first AHL head coaching role as the leader of the American Hockey League's eldest and most storied franchise. Having helped guide the club to the 2010 Calder Cup championship and three subsequent postseason appearances, Mann returns to oversee the 2014-2015 Hershey Bears.
Mann, a native of Campbellton, New Brunswick, helped turn the season around for the ECHL's Bakersfield Condors in 2013-2014. The Condors advanced six games into the Western Conference finals under Mann's leadership, the furthest the team has ever played. Bakersfield finished with a regular-season record of 36-30-2-4 under Mann, good for second in the ECHL's Pacific Division.
Mann's career in Hershey spanned four years, beginning with the Bears' record-setting 2009-2010 campaign. The club finished with an AHL-record 60 wins and 34 home wins en route to a second consecutive Calder Cup title. Hershey's penalty kill thrived under Mann's watch, as the Bears finished in the AHL's top ten in all four of his seasons as assistant coach, including a league-best 87.4% in 2009-2010.
Mann has had a hand in developing numerous defensemen who played both in Hershey and in Washington, such as Karl Alzner, Julien Brouillette, John Carlson, Steve Oleksy, Dmitry Orlov, Cameron Schilling and Nate Schmidt. He was also behind the bench for two AHL All-Star Classics (2010, 2011).
Prior to joining Hershey, Mann served as associate head coach of the ECHL's Charlotte Checkers in 2008-2009, and as head coach of the ECHL's Columbia Inferno from 2006-2008. As a player, Mann won the Kelly Cup championship as a member of the ECHL's Mississippi Sea Wolves in 1998-1999, playing for former Bears and Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau.
Mann resides in Hershey with his wife Lori and daughter Larissa.
Playing under head coach Troy Mann's guidance and serving as captain of the Hershey Bears' record-setting 2009-2010 season, assistant coach Bryan Helmer returns to Hershey after making his behind-the-bench debut as assistant coach of the OHL's Peterborough Petes. The Petes finished third in the OHL's East Division under Helmer in 2013-2014, posting a record of 32-30-0-6.
The 41-year-old Helmer, a native of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, is the American Hockey League's all-time leader in points by a defenseman. He recorded 564 points (129 goals, 435 assists) in a remarkable 20-year career that totaled 1,117 regular-season games – a number which ranks third in AHL history. Helmer is also the AHL's all-time leader in Calder Cup playoff appearances, having played in 159 postseason games. He has piled up 59 points (14 goals, 45 assists) and celebrated the AHL championship three times (Albany, 1995; Hershey, 2009 and 2010). He wore the "C" in both of Hershey's back-to-back league titles.
Helmer also earned two postseason All-Star Team recognitions during his time in the AHL, and while playing with the Oklahoma City Barons in 2010-2011, he was awarded the Fred T. Hunt Memorial Award as the player who best exemplified the qualities of sportsmanship, determination and dedication to hockey.
Helmer's National Hockey League career featured 146 games played with Phoenix, St. Louis, Vancouver and Washington. He has a total of 26 points (eight goals, 18 assists) in the NHL.
Helmer resides in Hershey with his wife Pam, son Cade and daughter Rylan.

With Valentine's Day rearing its multi-coloured head this Monday, DragonRising is in the unique position of offering life-changing information, tools and techniques - regardless of whether you're in a relationship or are open to new opportunities.
For the next week, we've discounted some of our favourites from the DragonRising catalogue which have been specifically designed to help you achieve happiness when playing the game of love.
"Whether you believe you can, or you can't – you're right!" – Henry Ford
At the heart of everything we do is our own confidence in ourselves and our own abilities. This energy-hypnosis track (MP3 download or Audio CD) was produced by Silvia Hartmann to work on many levels to build your self-confidence, no matter what your starting point is.
Available in these versions:
To Order & For Further Info:
Being human is about enjoying the ups, as well as learning and moving on from the downs. If you've had your heart broken and this is affecting your future then you should give Heart Healing a go. This is just one of the tracks you'll benefit from by purchasing the second HypnoDream album by Hartmann & Sivyer.
EmoTrance is all about clearing disturbances and blockages in the energy system and these often don't come much bigger than those caused by human relationships. The Love Clinic is great for beginners as everything you need to know is explained in Sandra Hillawi's easy-to-read writing style and no previous knowledge is assumed.
SuperGoals is one of our most popular energy-hypnosis tracks because it works for identifying your goals and then proceeds to motivate you on many levels to then achieve them. This works great, especially if you don't really know what you want to achieve in your relationships.
Silvia Hartmann explains in this live recorded training how we have never seen ourselves like others see us. For what we view in a mirror is only a two dimensional image of the real human being that it is meant to represent. This advanced-EmoTrance workshop goes onto showcase the technique for restoring a persons core identity, which is often protected in layers and layers of shields and barriers.
EmoTrance is the perfect tool for this technique as it allows people to treat really sensitive emotional nerves without fear or discomfort. BeautyT is a truly awesome recording and definitely Silvia Hartmann at her best.
There is something here for everyone this Valentine's Day, no matter what your current situation. We hope you take advantage of these great offers and have a perfect, love-filled week.
Best wishes,

Aristocob Art Deco Metal Corn Cob Smoking Pipe & Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe Blog
This Blog is dedicated to Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipes in general, and specifically the Art Deco Aristocob Pipe. The Aristocob was manufactured from the 1960's by Al Cobb Corp, and into the early 1980's by Missouri Meerschaum. It featured a replaceable corn cob core in an aluminum Art Deco bowl. Still available from time to time on eBay, use the links below to connect with them. In the mean time we offer sweet smoking factory-fresh Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipes at www.aristocob.com
Tigtening Loose Missouri Meerschaum Pipe Stems (Bits)
If you've purchased a MM cob recently you may have noticed that the bit (as they call them) was loose.
Recently made MM pipes with the loose bits and ferrules have a wooden stem that MM is getting from a new vendor in Maine. Since they have about 150,000 of the new wood stems in stock they have attempted to come up with a way at the factory to "swell them up". As experienced cob smokers know, the wood stem swells up some after they are smoked, so normally within a few smokes they fit snugly.
1.) Smoke it. As I said above, this usually does the trick after just a few bowls.
2.) If the bit is too loose to even get a few bowls smoked I wrap a single wrap of Teflon tape around the tenon. Since the stem will swell quickly enough I now use this option instead of modifying the stem or tenon and once things tighten-up I remove the tape. No Teflon tape on hand? Use any tape you have on hand but understand that you'll have to use a solvent to remove the sticky adhesive residue.
3.) Use the "hot water method" to heat the tenon and once soft gently press the end of a pen into the tenon to cause it to swell slightly. I no longer use this method as my first line of defense because once the wooden stem swells the bit will be crazy-tight.
4.) Glue a strip of paper or a shaving from a hand plane inside the stem. I even did a video on this several years ago.
I haven't done #4 in years, but if 1-3 don't work this is what I've done in the past. If you purchased your pipe from us and it doesn't tighten-up, we'll replace the pipe.
Here are a couple old vids on the topic:

The Double-Secret New Kreg Tool is a BLAST to use!
My best advise to you would be to click on this Woodcraft.com link on June 9th and then sort by price, from High to Low, and scroll down until you see what I'm talking (or not talking) about. I'll report back as soon as it goes live to fill-in the blanks.
Here's a teaser vid from Kreg:
Meet the Shortstop pipe from Aristocob and Missouri Meerschaum
As you can see in the photo the Shortstop is available with either a black or amber bit and despite its small bowl it is the perfect length. Here it is shown in the foreground with the Pony Express and the Legend in the background.
Watch for the Shortstop corn cob pipe at Aristocob.com
It's November, so it's International Corn Cob Pipe Month at Aristocob.com!
I was in such a rush when I recorded the announcement video below that I forgot to mention the other goodies that come with the celebration of ICCPM. Place a corn cob pipe order during the month of November 2013 and you'll receive one free "Patented Aristocob Pipe Tamper" and a free replacement bit for each pipe on your order. That's not too shabby, especially if you are purchasing a Freehand pipe with the Vulcanized rubber bit, which is a $8 value!
As if that wasn't enough, how would you like to shave some money too? OK, when you get to the check-out enter the coupon code "ICCPM2013" and we'll deduct 10% off the price of your merchandise.
Do yourself a favor and watch this video and get in on our video contest, and there's a good chance that you'll earn yourself a $20 shopping spree of MORE!
"A Gentleman's Weekend"
Upgrading the Missouri Meerschaum Country Gentleman
I've never personally had a burn-through, but seeing that the Country Gentleman pipe is the same price as the cobs that do have the plug, I've been bugging the folks at MM to add that as an improvement to the Gent for quite some time.
I am so happy to report that as of a few weeks ago the Country Gentleman now features a wooden plug! (Pause for applause)
On an interesting side note; last year as we were dealing with the "Incredible Shrinking Cobs of 2012" I pulled from our inventory what has got to be the smallest Country Gentleman ever made. Fast forward to today as I was looking for an old Gent to picture next to a new one in order to show you the difference in the bottom and I fount that puny pipe. Lick on the pic above to Biggie-Size it to see what the new plug looks like, and to give thanks that we haven't been seeing any small cobs like that recently.
Condensation in a new Amber Danish pipe bit
The new Missouri Meerschaum Amber Danish bit is available as a replacement from Aristocob.com for any of the filtered MM pipes. That includes the Diplomat, the General. the Country Gentleman, the 5th Avenue (That we call the Kolonel), all of the "Woodie" of maple pipes and even the smaller pipes like the Legend, the Washington, the Ozark Mountain and the Missouri Pride.
Smoking pipe sends radio transitions to CIA operatives!
OK, now this is just cool. This pipe is from an online collection on the CIA's website. It's a sub-miniature radio receiver that is concealed in a modified pipe. The user hears the sound via "bone conduction" from the jaw to the ear canal. How cool is that?
Here's the link to this pipe, and be sure to click around the entire collection. https://www.cia.gov/about-cia/cia-museum/experience-the-collection/index.html#!/artifact/131
Sad news from Cornell and Diehl
Here's an official statement from Cornell and Diehl:
DIY Bagder Hair Bristle Shaving Brush
Here's a link to Woodcraft's Badger Hair Bristle Shaving Brush and related Shaving Stuff It looks like a great deal, but please note that you'll need to purchase a 20mm Forstner Bit too. Heck, perhaps the best plan of attack would be to make a couple extra and toss them out on eBay? Let me know if you do that.
FF to around the 3:45 point to skip the ramble.
How about a FREE Riccardo Santia Corn Cob Pipe?
The contest runs through July 6th, and there is seriously a bonus if your naming convention is chosen, AND you shared it in the form of a Video Response on Youtube. Good luck!

2012 Pipe Smokers Survey
I was excited when I learned that they were conducting another survey, and it looks like I just squeaked in under the deadline. This morning I received the preliminary results and just as before they are quite interesting. Below is a link to both the 2012 and the 2010 survey, and I think you'll see as I did that they've done an excellent job improving the visuals and keeping the topics varied and interesting.
Another job well done by Kevin Godbee!

So, in the interest of getting it out there, I smoke many different tobaccos, including many that are manufactured by Cornell and Diehl, but in the end I have to admit that for the most part I smoke Lane 1Q. I was thinking about this one day, and I'd be willing to bet that I've smoked half my weight in Lane 1Q, which is just about what my doctor says I should weigh!
Lane 1Q is most similar to the OTC tobacco Captain Black Royal, which is sold in the blue pouch. In fact, they are both made by Lane Limited and while the recipes are slightly different, Captain Blacks Royal is almost identical to Lane 1Q. As for the other Lane bulk tobaccos vs Captain Black, Lane RLP-6 and Captain Black White are quite similar. Both of these bulk tobacco blends are sold at your local tobacconist, though they may have their own names for them. Just ask for the Lane product by name (number) and they'll direct you to the proper jar.
There's a great article on the differences between the most popular over the counter tobaccos, including Captain Black, over at PipesMagazine.com.

With so many options, which corn cob pipe should I smoke?
Dear sir.
I am new to smoking and got two very nice pipes from a friend of mine (briar). I would like to get two pipes from you to break myself into pipe smoking. Do you have some good recommendations for me to look at? I am a cigar smoker for 1 year and would like a pipe that smokes 10-40 minutes and one that smokes 30-60 minutes. Any suggestions or help is very appreciated. Jamie
Hey Jamie,
For a quick smoke I would suggest one of the following as they are all basically the same pipe with a different finish:
The Legend
This is Missouri Meerschaum's most popular pipe, and it's the one most people think of when they think of a corn cob pipe. The bit is amber in color and the bowl has a slight yellow color that's added to the finish on the cob. This cob is filled, but is still a little rough.
The Missouri Pride
This pipe is completely unfinished, or "Neked". Some folks like this, others don't. The cob is very rough but it smokes nicely. This is probably the one pipe that I would say is most likely to burn-through. The bit is black.
The Washington
This is a rather sophisticated cob. It is filled with plaster before being smoothed and finished with a clear finish. The bit is black.
The Ozark Mountain
Again, this is the same size as the pipes listed above, but rather than being made of cob it's made entirely of the hardwood birch.
As for the longer smoker, I'm a fan of several:
The Gentleman
I LOVE this pipe! This would be my all-around favorite if only it had the hardwood bottom like the others listed below. This has the same black bit as is found on the pipes listed above. I always swap these out. Read on...
The Diplomat
This has become my everyday pipe in my van and in my shop. Depending on what I smoke in it, it will last me from 30-45 minutes. Like the Washington the cob on the Diplomat is filled, finished with a clear finish and has a black bit; but the bit on this pipe is my favorite. It's called the Danish bit, and it's the bit that I use on all my pipes. The Diplomat is also available with a rare earth magnet sit into the bottom and is sold as the Magnacob. You can see it at Magnacob.com
The General
This is a very large bowl, but not ridiculously so. This pipe will smoke 40-60 minutes every time. It has the same smooth finish that's found on the Diplomat, and also features the Danish bit.
The Freehand
This pipe is just in a class by itself. It's hand turned on a lathe and is in the style of the classic freehand briar pipes. It has a very expensive vulcanized rubber bit, that's just like the aftermarket bits that are sold elsewhere for $20 and up for just the bit alone. This is the perfect pipe to put on your birthday wish list.
Final thoughts:
With the exception of the Freehand, all of these pipes can accommodate a filter. You don not have to smoke them with the filter installed, and many people actually cut the filters into two or three short sections to act as an ash catcher rather than a filter.
I am not a huge fan of the Patriot or the MacArthurs. The bits are very slim and delicate and are prone to breaking, and the Macs are very though to keep lit.
Gentlemen, allow me to introduce "The Kernel"
How about a little story?
When I was a teenager my dad was a US Air Force Colonel and was the second in command of the F-16 program. This was way back in the late 1970's-'81 and one of my favorite things to do when visiting his office was to change his name on his white board (something that was new and exciting back then) from "Colonel Markwood" to "Kernel Markwood". It always made me laugh, and I'm sure it annoyed him to no end.
So it is with that thought that I'm happy to announce that while we will begin stocking the new 5th Avenue pipe, it will be sold at Aristocob.com as "The Kernel" or perhaps as "The Kolonel". The best news of all is that The Kernel will soon be available as a Magnacob as well!
Where do you stick you Magnacob?
Someone asked a question about the Magnacob that I didn't know the answer to: Is the magnet strong enough for it to stick to a drywall screw in a wall. I had no idea, so of course in the interest of science...
A Fun Change With Our "Taste Buds" Tobacco Sample Program
Here's the list of Tastes Buds so far:
McClellan's "Easy Street"
Cornell & Diehl's "Burley Flake #1"
Cornell & Diehl's "Burley Flake #4"
TFH = Two Friend's "Heritage"
CEPS = Cornell & Diehl's Captain Earle's Private Stock
AHF = Cornell & Diehl's After Hour Flake
GLPCM = G.L. Pease "Chelsea Morning"
GLPF = G.L. Pease "Fillmore"
HO = Cornell & Diehl's "Herman's Own" There doesn't seem to be a review on TobaccoReviews.com, so this would be a great time to add one! (Hint)
BF (cc) = Cornell & Diehl's "Briar Fox" (crumble cake). This is an excellent Danish crumble cake made of Virginias.
SHF = Cornell & Diehl's "Sunset Harbor Flake" This Taste Bud was a little on the dry side, so we rehydrate it, rendering it much less of a flake than you might normally expect. Smokes great though.
HRF = Honeyrose Farmers. This is not non-tobacco smoking product that I purchased to try for myself, and after just one bowl I knew I just had to share it with you. Because I liked it? No, because I knew there was no way I was ever going to smoke another bowl, so I had to do SOMETHING with what was left! Anyway, give it a try, 'cuz who knows, you might love it. www.honeyroseusa.com
EI = Earth Impact Herbal Mixture. Again, just like Honeyrose Farmers above this non-tobacco product this stuff just wasn't for me. It's sold by Honeyroseusa.com if you want more of it. I'd love to hear from you if you liked this!
Here's the video that started it all.
Aristocob Tagline Contest Winner Announced!
Here's the winning video and tagline. Congratulations David!
Win a "Neked" Diplomat corn cob pipe Tagline Contest!
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Aristocob/102500969787186 (Got to do something about that silly URL!) Anyway, we'll pick a winner or winners next Monday, Feb 19th, 2012.
We're on to Taste Buds #3!
Check our Youtube Channel for the latest Taste Bud flavor and for information on how to get in on the action!
Here's the original Taste Bud announcement video:
What a day! Back orders are on their way, but we still have "Egg" on our face.
The picture at right is a very large pile of orders that we packed tonight. I don't know what your image of Aristocob is, but we are truly a Mom (Jandy) and Pop (Scott) business, and a day like today is something special. Thank you all for supporting our efforts, and we enjoy being of service to you.
Now for the rest of the story...
If you are a fan of the Great Dane Egg shape, I have bad news to report.
Missouri Meerschaum has been dealing with a shortage of their largest cobs, which are the ones which are used for the Diplomat and the Great Dane Egg. As a result we have been in a back order situation for the past month on the Eggs, and have been spotty on the Dips. (Our name, not MM's)
Well, we received the bad news last week that MM is ceasing production of the Egg for a while so that they can dedicate their larger cobs to the more popular Diplomat. We fully support this decision, but it does leave a couple of our customers in the cold. Just so you know, we are happy to swap-out the BO'd Eggs with any other similar pipe, and as a plan B we have also offered full refunds.
We have a standing order with MM for the Eggs, so when they do get them back into production we'll have them too.
Just in case you missed it... new upgrade for your Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipes!
Missouri Meerschaum recently made a change to their top of the line Freehand pipe that has exciting side effects. First off, the new bent Vulcanized rubber bit can now fit EVERY Missouri Meerschaum filtered pipe! Vulcanized bits are a bit thicker and substantially stronger than the stock plastic bits found on all the other pipes int he MM line, and this change means that if you've always wanted a higher quality/strength bit on your cob, you now have a great option.
The second thing the change in the Freehand did was it made it possible for the Freehand to be used with pipe filters! I know that most American pipe smokers turn their noses up at filters, but our European customers and new pipe smokers are quite fond of them. Yes, this would mean that you'd be exchanging the excellent vulcanized bit that I just talked about for the less expensive plastic bit, but you are gaining the ability to filter.
Anyway, these two new options are great news for two groups of customers: now you just have to decide which camp YOU are in. Click the pic to be taken to the listing for the new bit.
Getting a corn cob pipe to arrive in one piece
What seems to surprise folks is that we wrap the pipes in paper to keep them safe, and that's about it. Well, this week I finally remembered to snap a photo of a shipment to us from Missouri Meerschaum. Note that most of the pipes from them are lose in zip-top bags! They used to ship the pipes lose in cardboard boxes, just like the ones seen in the box that contain several "Macs". Considering the fact that Missouri Meerschaum has been making and shipping these pipes since 1869, if they think the pipes are strong enough to handle this treatment, who and I to judge?
The video that I've embedded below is one were I did a box opening of our of the pipes that my bride had ready to ship. Feel free to search on Youtube for other box openings from Aristocob. Many of them are listed as "YABO" for "Yet Another Box Opening". It's a Youtube thing.

Pipe school at JR's in Burlington, NC
Tonight my son, his buddy, my bro-in-law and I took a little drive to Burlington, NC to attend what was promoted as a pipe smoking evening with JR's Corporate Trainer, Steve Nathan and Burlington's resident pipe and cigar expert, Rudy Baker.
As we all bellied up to the glass pipe counter Steve and Rudy covered several useful subjects including choosing the right pipe, packing and lighting and a very interesting discussion on choosing tobacco. The tobacco bar was then opened for sampling, and by the time our three hour session flew by we all purchased several tobaccos and no doubt there were pipes purchased as well.
As a cob smoker I was happy to hear that Steve and Rudy were cob-friendly, and Steve was smoking a Missouri Meerschaum Ozark Mountain pipe all night long. If I'm not mistaken it was the same one he was smoking during the cigar school last July.
My son's friend, Chris brought along a couple of his dad's pipes, but smoked his new MM Diplomat all night. It was the first time he's smoked a pipe and I can say that he is clearly a convert.
I hope that this is something that other shops jump on, because the young guys were like dry sponges anxious to learn all they could. If I had one bit of advise it would be to plan on total newbies in the crowd and teach to them. Those of us in the crowd who think we know everything can always learn from a review of the basics; and the newbies need to learn from the ground up.
Aristocob.com Adds New Missouri Meerschaum Natural pipes
Due to popular demand Missouri Meerschaum has just launched a new Natural line that is simply just corn cob, a wood stem and a plastic bit. (The Freehand has a vulcanite rubber bit) The retail prices are the same as the standard corn cob pipes due to the rare, extra large cobs that are needed to produce an all-cob bowl.
At this time we've decided to add the straight and bent versions of the General, and the Diplomat, as well as the Natural Freehand,
I shot video review video which you can view below. I've always been a fan of the classic Missouri Meerschaum smooth pipe, and the previous natural Missouri Pride was never my favorite. They're very light, very porous and rough, and in my limited experience with the Missouri Pride and Natural MacArthur, I believe that they'll be prone to burning through the walls if you smoke them too fast before they develop a good layer of char.
If you want to experience them please drop back by Aristocob.com and leave a review.
November is International Corn Cob Pipe Month at Aristocob.com!
Watch the video below and make sure to get into the contest.
To quote John Belushi from Animal House: "It don't cost nothin'."
Here are the details:
During the month of November we'll be adding a FREE Aristocob pipe tamper as well as a FREE replacement bit with every Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe purchased from http://www.aristocob.com There's no need to add these to your order, we'll add them to every order automatically.
We're also happy to announce that we're hosting another video contest! Light your favorite Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe in front of some historic site in your town and tell us a little something about the site and about what you enjoy about smoking your corn cob pipes. Tell us stuff like where you like to smoke, what you like to smoke, and if you have a favorite cob smoking memory too that in too. Make sure to put the name Aristocob in your video title, and add the url of our site http:www.aristocob.com in your description. Once you've uploaded your video to Youtube link it to the video above to be entered in the contest. Feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have questions about this process.
What can you win? How about a $50 shopping spree at Aristocob.com, a customized commemorative stein and some other SWAG to be named later?
I'll add another video later in the month explaining how the voting will take place, but this year the winner will be chosen by the people who enter a video! I've embedded a few of the past entries to give you an idea of what we're talking about.
Just a couple hints:
- Shorter is better. The most-watched videos on Youtube are under two minutes long! I know it's tough to rush a pipe smoker, but keep talking.
- Yes, you can spend days editing, but if you shoot your video several times odds are you'll get a good take that won't require much editing.
- Try not to script what you say too much. You may have noticed that videos that are scripted, or even worse, read just don't feel genuine. Again, take a look at the past entries for examples.
Don't forget to let me know that you've posted your video!
Here's some of the previous entries from 2009 and 2010:
Here's the 2010 winner:
It's November! That means it's International Corn Cob Pipe Month!
During the month of November we'll be adding a FREE Aristocob pipe tamper as well as a FREE replacement bit with every Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe purchased from Aristocob.com
Additionally we'd love to have you shoot a video of yourself smoking your Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe in front of a historic location in your home town. Again, you can get more details on our blog, but if the idea of winning some pipes and some other SWAG sounds good to you, then get in on this!
I'll post a few more details shortly, but feel free to email any questions you have to firstname.lastname@example.com. Good luck! Scott
Acrylic blanks for the ultimate DIY pipe bits
One of the most rewarding projects that Woodworkers have been making in the past ten years or so have been pens and other small, turned accessories. Once a woodworker gets the hang of tuning them from wood the next logical thing to try is acrylic. Companies who cater to Woodworkers have been stocking some very cool acrylic blanks that are roughly 3/4" x 3/4" x 6" for $7-$15 or so which could yield one to two pipe bits!
If you have any interest in giving this a try you should stop by your local Woodcraft store for an excellent selection of blanks. You'll be surprised that some of the very colors and patterns that you've seen for sale for up to $30 a bit are available at Woodcraft.
Here's a link to Acrylic Pen Blanks for making pipe bits
Stupid Malware!
We finally sat down with my iPad and manually shipped a backlog of orders this morning, including the order from the caller. The iPad is very handy but the proprietary software that our site manager uses has quite a bit of Flash, and as you may have heard, Mr. Jobs didn't think we would want to use Flash on our Apple products!
So, while our nerd-son Seth goes to work running all the anti-malware programs that I tried this weekend to no avail I thought I'd send a shout-out to all the whacking idiots who have nothing better to do than hijack people's computers. I'd love to have a few minutes alone with you in my wood shop.
If you are oneof our customer's who is patiently waiting on your order I can assure you that if it wan't sent before it was shipped this morning. You'll know you are one of the luck ones if your box was hand addressed. Thanks for your patience. Scott
See the results of an interesting survey of pipe smokers
Ever seen the entire Missouri Meerschaum pipe line all in one place?
I've mentioned before that I find this size pipe a little small for my liking, and as I was staging this I decided to put the entire family into the picture.
The middle row starts with the Country Gentleman, the Patriot, the Diplomat. Let's skip the bottom pipes for a moment and head back to the top right row. First is the Great Dane Spool, follwed by the Great Dane Egg and finally the General.
Across the bottom from the left are the Freehand, the Smooth and Polished bent MacArthur and then the natural or "Neked" straight MacArthur.
There are a few more things to note:
- The bent Legend in the photo is one that I've been smoking for over ten years! It was once just as yellow as the straight one above it, but the "juice" from smoking has darkened it.
- Along the bottom are two natural, or "Neked" Diplomats. These are only available in small quantities in the Fall, as they require extra large cobs that are in very short supply. I included them here to show the range of color present in natural cobs.

Davy Crockett. An American with Balls!
As I mentioned, I'm in Texas this week, and there's something in the water that just makes a man feel more... Manly.
Something that someone said last night made be Google Davy Crockett, and MAN, did that dude have some huge balls!
One of the stories that was most impressive was that while he was running for re-election to Congress (yes, he was a US Congressman) he ran against the policies of the president; who just happened to be from his own party! When pushed to explain why he didn't stand in support of the president he said:
"I bark at no man's bid. I will never come and go, and fetch and carry, at the whistle of the great man in the White House no matter who he is."
Read more about the man, the myth and the legend here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett and buy the Tee Shirt> too!
Tom Hanks smokes a Missouri Meerschaum Corn Cob Pipe... but...
The good news in that in his newest film, Larry Crowne, Tom Hanks is seen smoking a Missouri Meerschaum corn cob pipe! The bad news is apparently very few people will see it.
How does that happen? True, Tom has had his fair share of hits and misses, but I mean, the trailers for this flic left me yawning. I did see a behind the scenes making of the film that made it look much more entertaining. Either way, if you like his pipe you can get one of your own at www.aristocob.com
Aristocob presents "Magnacob"
I selected the Missouri Meerschaum Diplomat pipe because it is a popular size and shape, and because it has a hardwood plug in the bottom that was just screaming to be drilled-out.
The adhesive choice was a bit more scientific. I tried a couple mild adhesives thinking that the slight heat the passes through the bottom of the bowl would not be an issue. Wrong. While the bowl is somewhat warm to the touch, the adhesive wanted to liquify. I tried a couple acrylic adhesives knowing that they would be a bad choice due to their brittleness, and I was right. A couple drops on the concrete flow and the magnets broke free. I finally found the best solution in a high temp two-part epoxy.
I was so impressed by this solution that I rushed-out and purchased the URL www.Magnacob.com with the intention of producing the pipes in small quantities and offering them from our aristocob.com site. And then... nothing happened.
Between travel for business, my wife and daughter opening a brick and mortar business and just the fast pace of life, I never got around to launching my idea. Until the weekend of the four of July 2011. I found myself back in the shop and back in the exact same situation; but this time I had my Magnacob! I set it on my saw and made my cuts, and when I retrieved it several minutes later it was safe and still fully lit and ready for action. I decided then and there that the time had come to share this with you.
Currently the Magnacob is available in the Diplomat straight and bent shapes in the smooth, polished finish. This Fall I may consider a "Neked" version, if demanded by you.
Check it out at www.Magnacob.com, and check-out my embedded video on the same page. It's a little silly, but you'll get the point.
A BRILLIANT idea for the MacArthur pipe
When is a pair not a pair?
I received a great call this weekend asking if we would be able to put together a unique pair of pipes. This customer was interested in several different styles but at the same time was attracted to the extra discount that is applied to pairs. Just so you know we are happy to do this. We stack all our pipes in build and "pair" the pairs only as they are purchased. We offer the pairs in the first place because we had a lot of requests for them and heck, we aren't as dumb as I look. Anyway, we can't possible put o our site every imaginable combination, so here's what we'll do: If you want to purchase a pair of two identically priced pipes, just purchase a pair of them, and add a note to your order saying something like "Hey Scott and Jandy, please make this pair one bent Diplomat and one straight Great Dane Egg.". As long as the pair you request matches the price of the items in the pair you purchased we'll be happy to make this accommodation.
While we are on this subject, don't miss the fact that we have a discount structure for quantity purchases that begin with just six pipes. And the price break kicks-in even if you mis and match six pipes of different styles and price points! That means you could even purchase five of the Legends and one Freehand and save on all six. Hum mm. I should do the calculation on that one!
Not smoking on Manhattan Beach
Just as I cut my cigar cap and lit her up I noticed the sign that I now describe in the following video.
QR codes
I have to admit that I'm a little fascinated by QR codes. They are starting to pop-up everywhere and I can't seem to stop myself from scanning them.
For example, last weekend I was buying plants at our local Lowes and the nursery who supplies Lowes with the plants had a QR code on their display that linked directly to tips on selecting, planting and caring for the very plants that I was looking for. Because of this I learned that I needed to grad some lime while I was there to make sure that my tomato's roots don't rot. Very smart, especially if they also make lime.
My wife and daughter have a new children's clothing resale store and their first ad contained a small QR code that takes you directly to their info page on their website.
I suppose I better get over that compulsion because someone is bound to find a way to send me to a virus or brainwashing center with me as a co-conspirator!
Anyway, not to be outdone I've taken a stab at creating a QR code myself. It's nothing special, but if your phone has a scanner app give it a try.
10 Questions for Pipe Smokers.
10 pipe smoking questions
On May 26th, 2011 TheWanderingRecluse uploaded an interesting video on Youtube where he presented a list of 10 questions for pipe smokers. Here's my response:
1.) What is your biggest pipe smoking pet-peeve (or if you don't have one, just name a pet peeve)?
A: Never enough Time to enjoy smoking.
2.) What is the most memorable pipe smoking experience (good or bad) you've ever had?
A: Smoking a bowl with my Father-in-Law, and later with my adult son.
3.) Do you consider pipe smoking a relatively unknown sub-culture at the present? If so, why did it become "underground"?
A: Not in my little corner of the world. We've sold thousands of corn cob pipes in the past few years, and I'm sure that # is a drop in the bucket of overall pipe sales.
4.) Do you think the YouTube pipe community will eventually make pipe smoking more mainstream?
A: Since the vast majority of our sales were spurred by YT, I'd have to say yes.
5.) If you could only take one pipe with you on an island, along with one tobacco, what would they be?
A: Will I be working or relaxing on said island?
-If I'm chill axing it would be my Missouri Meerschaum Freehand.
-If I'm working it would be a MM Diplomat.
-I would be smoking Two Friends "Heritage".
6.) Describe the perfect pipe smoking setting.
A: Late at night in a cool, dark cabin. In a comfy chair, by a fire that's mostly glowing embers and a small log or two. Several close friends and my bride are near by in deep, contemplative conversation.
7.) What's the one piece of advice you'd give to a new pipe smoker?
A: Ignore most of the advice you'll hear, including mine. THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDIN'. If YOU like or hate a certain tobacco, why would my opinion about it matter? Buy 1-2oz samples of lots of tobaccos and blends.
8.) How do you feel pipe smokers are viewed by the public (non-pipe smokers)?
A: Show me ten people and I'll show you 14 opinions! In the end, I don't care as long as they understand that it's my right to smoke as I do; which is mostly in private.
9.) What is the biggest misconception about pipe smoking (in your opinion)?
A: That we inhale, and that it's equivalent to smoking cigarettes.
10.) Morning smoker, afternoon smoker or evening smoker?
A: I rarely smoke in the AM or afternoon, so I guess that makes me an evening smoker.
So now it's your turn. Do me a favor and send me a note or respond to my vid if you post your answers somewhere. Scott
How About a Pop in the Mouth?
SodaStream is a counter-top "pop" maker (I'm from Ohio), and based on my super-human pop consumption it made sense to me that an in-home soda maker was my "density" :-) . The winner of the contest would win one of their top of the line units, while a couple runners up would win one of the mid-priced units. I figured that even if I was a runner up I would walk away with over $100 in prizes, so why no?
It took a few evenings to write my Instructable and I entered the contest. Here's the OREO Cake-Pie Instructable. Long story short I am now the proud owner of a SodaStream Home Soda Maker!
The unit is self-contained and best of all it's not electric; so it's just about the only think on the kitchen counter that's not hogging an outlet! At its core is a proprietary CO2 canister, which had me a little concerned because the last thing I need is to be locked into an expensive consumable. Fortunately I found these for sale at Bed, Bath and Beyond and was also pleased to learn that the $30 price sticker (!) included a $15 deposit, so that, added to the cost of flavors would make the resulting 1 liter less than .50 cents.
My wife's favorite thing is that for the first time in who knows how many years, the kitchen, fridge and cars aren't overflowing with 2 liter bottles! As for me I like that we aren't hauling all those full bottles in and empty bottles out, and best of all the pop is always fresh!
Here are a few shots of the unit in action.
The top pic shows most of what was included in the kit. The larger bottles were purchased locally and from what I can see from the SodaStream website the unit shown normally comes with one each of the sample packs shown. The unit also came with two heavy 1 liter bottles, which have a nice wide mouth that makes adding the flavors a breeze.
The prize I won included two sets of the sample flavors, so we've been having fun trying them all out. I've enjoyed the diet drinks, including a cola, a Dr. Pepper taste-alike, a wonderful lemon-lime flavor that is probably closer to Sprite than 7UP.
My bride raved about the diet root beer, which like the caffeine-free cola is sodium free. We haven't tapped into the fruit flavoring yet, but one surprising thing we read on the package was that it doesn't require a large amount to flavor water. That'll be nice for when I'm not in a cola mood.
To use the SodaStream you first fill the bottle to the fill line with cold tap water. I originally thought that I would have to break-out the Brita filter, but I'm happy that I tried it straight from the tap first, because it's just fine.
Anyway, you fill the bottle then screw it onto the female threads on the unit. You'll notice in the top photo that there's a short white tube that dangles a short distance into the water. This is where the CO2 is propelled into the water.
It takes a few short bursts of gas to fully charge the water, and you know when it's done when the unit makes a funny buzzing sound as you press the button. The sticker on the unit says that three buzzes will give you the typical fizz, but for the caffeine-free cola I just need a little more fizz, so I've been giving it a few more shots.
One neat feature that I didn't notice at first (no, I didn't read the instructions) was that the threads that hold the bottle in place will allow the bottom the the bottle to swing forward while it's attached to the unit. "Cool" I thought, "That'll make it easier to remove". But the first time I used it I was surprised by the "WOOSH" of gas that was released when I swung it forward. Why didn't I know that before? All the previous batches I made released a rush of CO2 as I twisted them off the unit, and in some cases it gave me an unexpected spritz of mist. Now that I know how to use it I'm able to remove the bottles and stay dry too!

First Presbyterian Christian Academy senior track standout Asyria Daniels finished second in both the long and triple jump at the Georgia Independent School Association Region 2-AA state track meet last weekend in Albany.
Daniels leaped 16 feet, 4 ¾ inches in the long jump and leapt 33-6 in the triple jump, which were personal bests for her.
Daniels said competing in her final high-school track meet was bittersweet.
"I'm looking forward to competing at the next level in college," she said. "That next step is my biggest dream: Attending my dream college and performing on a level I've only dreamed of."

Dear editor,
In regards to the sighting by local photographer Greg Coman of the American Bald Eagle, it could be perhaps that it has flown the coop, so to speak. I feel it has defected the U.S. after being ashamed of the country's Olympic hockey performance.
I expect we will see more coming our way.

Despite the hype, does Greek yogurt really have more mythical properties than its regular counterpart? Here are the true differences between Greek yogurt and the regular kind.
Greek yogurt, also called strained yogurt, yogurt cheese (or in some cultures, you-left-the-milk-out-too-long), is simply yogurt that has been strained in a cloth, paper bag, or filter to remove the excess liquid. Through this process, Greek yogurt ends up not only thicker and creamier than regular yogurt, but also chock-full of protein and probiotics, which are basically live bacteria (the good kind!) that can improve digestion, and bolster immunity, and maybe even reduce symptoms of lactose intolerance [1]. It takes approximately four pounds of raw milk to produce one pound of Greek yogurt, whereas standard yogurt is more of a 1:1 ratio. And, of course, everyone knows the ancient proverb: " Four times the milk, four times the fun!"
Greek yogurt also typically ends up lower in carbohydrates and sodium. A lower level of carbohydrates means less lactose, the sugar in dairy products that can upset stomachs, making it easier to digest as well as ideal for diabetics and those naturally sensitive to dairy. Though Greek yogurt may seem like the Hercules of the yogurt world, it doesn't win every round. During the straining process, some of the calcium is removed with the liquid whey. Regular yogurt has about 10% more calcium than Greek yogurt, so if calcium is the goal, consider sticking with regular yogurt.
Yogurt of the Gods — Your Action Plan
Although some may not initially like Greek yogurt's tangier taste, its versatility in the kitchen may turn them into believers. Besides being delicious on its own, Greek yogurt also doesn't curdle at high temperatures and stays fresher longer, making it particularly useful in the kitchen. It can be used as a substitution for sour cream, cream cheese, and even mayonnaise.
But before loading up on a fridge full of Greek yogurt, know that whole milk Greek yogurt typically has twice the amount of fat and protein than regular yogurt. Like the traditional flavored yogurt, flavored Greek yogurt can also be loaded with sugar. When looking for Greek yogurt, opt for low-fat or non-fat versions to reap its health benefits without the added calories. Have a sweet tooth? Sweeten up Greek yogurt with honey, cinnamon, a sprinkle of flaxseed, or some fresh berries and nuts for a delicious and healthy treat.

Today the New York Giants received a bad piece of news regarding David Wilson, running back that has been unable to perform team activities that would put him at risk of more serious injuries to his neck. His surgically repaired neck has not made enough improvements for Wilson to be cleared for physical contact. This past week he's been involved in the OTA's but mainly in kick return drills.
He has another appointment at the doctor on July 21st, one day before the training camp is scheduled to begin. Hopefully he will be able to fully recover and prepare for the season alongside his teammates.
So what's the picture if he doesn't manage to make it?
There are four other contenders for the starting position in case Wilson is not physically ready: Rashad Jennings, Peyton Hillis, Andre Williams and Michael Cox.
Andre Williams and Michael Cox are the least favorites to grab the starting gig. Cox is a 7th rounder from the 2013 NFL Draft that has seen a bit of NFL action last year but is still as raw as a player can be, despite showing good potential last season. Considering the offensive changes that the Giants are making, that can actually work well for him in terms of having to learn from scratch like everybody else.
Williams on the other hand is in fact a rookie, having been selected in the 4th round this year by the big blues. The expectations surrounding him are pretty much the expectations that teams have for all rookies – That besides having the much needed high level athleticism, they can understand the system and prove they are willing to put the extra work to be considered a solid roster piece.
Peyton Hills was drafted by the Broncos in 2008 and soon became the starting Running Back for the team after a series of injuries to his teammates. He was at one point the cover of Madden NFL and was always regarded as a potential star. Well, those days are over and the 6 year veteran now has to fight for a better position in the roster depth chart, maybe trying to get back the status he once had. One thing we can be sure is that his motivation to get back to his glory days have to be high, right?
Rashad Jennings is a 5 year veteran out of Liberty. He was drafted in 2009 by the Jaguars and has been playing the backup role pretty much his entire career and his numbers show that, so maybe the opportunity to start on a championship contender team will make him take the leap from supporting cast to leading role in the new Giants offense.
If Wilson does not recover in time for the season to begin Jennings will probably be the starting running back for the New York Giants 2014 season.

Recognizing that theory and data are mediated by data domains (bordered data sets produced by scientific instruments), he argues that the use of instruments breaks the dependency of observation on theory and thus creates a... more...

Matchup: Raiders at Bengals
1 p.m. ET, Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium
Published: Nov 21, 2012
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Each week Fantasy Source experts break down the matchups for NFL games from a fantasy perspective. Our tiered star ratings tell you how strongly we feel about each player's chances for a breakout performance. We analyze players based on how well their opponent defends that position and other factors such as statistical trends, playing-time potential and the talent level of the players and the teams involved.
5-Star Players
A.J. Green, WR, Bengals. Owners can't be upset even if Green doesn't score this week. He has scored in nine straight games, and he has 20 catches on 31 targets in the last three weeks. Oakland has allowed eight pass plays of 40 yards or more, so Green should be able to get one or two of his patented big gainers. Start Green in all formats.
Denarius Moore, WR, Raiders. Moore had just one catch for nine yards last week. He'll have more success if Darrius Heyward-Bey (hamstring) returns. That way the Raiders will have two vertical threats, and Palmer can isolate Moore against one-on-one coverage. The Bengals have allowed just three pass plays of 40 yards or more this season. Moore remains a borderline WR1.
Jermaine Gresham, TE, Bengals. Gresham, finally healthy, is an emerging ever-week fantasy contributor. He had six catches for 69 yards last week, and four of those catches resulted in first downs. He's a chain mover, and Dalton will look for his 6-foot-5 target in the red zone. Start Gresham.
Mike Nugent, K, Bengals. Nugent has only one field goal in Cincinnati's last two wins, but he should get at least three attempts against the Raiders, who allow the most fantasy points per game to kickers (10.8). Start Nugent in all formats.
4-Star Players
Andy Dalton, QB, Bengals. Dalton heated up the last two weeks with six TDs and no interceptions. Dalton is more efficient with fewer attempts, and that should be the case against an Oakland defense that struggles just about everywhere. Dalton will give owners a workmanlike 250 yards and two TDs as long as the running game stays on schedule. He's a safe option.
BenJarvus Green-Ellis, RB, Bengals. Green-Ellis got his first 100-yard game in Cincinnati with 25 carries for 101 yards against the Chiefs, and he faces an Oakland defense that gives up even more fantasy points to running back. Law Firm gets another 20 carries, 80-plus yards and another TD.
Marcel Reece, RB, Raiders. Reece is a multi-purpose back who has filled in nicely for Darren McFadden (ankle). Reece has 151 rushing yards and 146 receiving yards the last two weeks. The Bengals allow 4.4 yards per carry, and Oakland likely will lean on the running game early, like last week. Reece will get enough touches to be an effective RB2, with or without a TD.
Darrius Heyward-Bey, Raiders. Heyward-Bey missed last week because of a hamstring injury, but if active he immediately becomes an intriguing WR3 option. He's a speedster, and Palmer will take a few deep shots over the top.
Brandon Myers, TE, Raiders. Myers quietly ranks seventh among all tight ends in fantasy points. He's averaged 10 targets in Oakland's last three games. Cincinnati linebacker Rey Maualuga is not disciplined in coverage, so Myers should be able to get his yardage. The Bengals allow 11.5 yards per catch to tight ends. Start Myers.
Bengals defense/special teams. Palmer has never been a cold-weather quarterback. He has 22 interceptions in 14 career games when the temperature is less than 40 degrees. Game-time temperature is expected to be 43 degrees, but bump that down a few degrees and add wind chill and it should be cold. The Bengals should be able to force turnovers and perhaps get a pick six. Start Cincinnati.
3-Star Players
Carson Palmer, QB, Raiders. Palmer might have some issues in cold weather, but he's still putting up numbers in Oakland. Owners should get at least 40 passing attempts, and there will be some adventures in between. Palmer has thrown six interceptions the last three weeks, and despite the "revenge" factor there are better options available.
2-Star Players
Andrew Hawkins, WR, Bengals. Hawkins continues to serve as a valuable slot receiver for the offense, but he's not getting too many targets. Hawkins has nine catches for 65 yards in Cincinnati's last three games. He still serves a purpose in PPR leagues, but there are better options.
Sebastian Janikowski, K, Raiders. Janikowski's value generally is tied for long-distance field goals, but he's only 2-of-3 from 50 yards or more this season. He also has just 19 points in Oakland's last three games. The Bengals allow 8.1 fantasy points per game to kickers, so Janikowski is a fringe option.
Raiders defense/special teams. This unit is its usual strange-and-unusual mess. The Raiders have allowed an average of 44.7 points per game the last three weeks. They've forced just two turnovers with one sack in that stretch. Dalton might throw a pick or two, but Oakland is nowhere near a starting unit.
1-Star Players
Mohamed Sanu, WR, Bengals. Sanu continues to see favorable coverage opposite Green, and that has led to two short-yardage TDs the last two weeks. Sanu has six catches on 10 targets the last two weeks. He's a threat in the red zone, and a last-ditch option at WR3.
0-Star Players
Darren McFadden, RB, Raiders. McFadden has missed Oakland's last two games because of an ankle injury. He's out of the walking boot, but he's not a lock to play at Cincinnati. Expect the Raiders to ride the hot back in Reece.

Nicolopholous and I made a delicious orzo past last night which consisted of carrots, caramelized onions and this extraordinary homemade tomato pesto sauce my friend gave to me.
Tomato Pesto Sauce
1/3 cup of pine nuts (I used sunflower seeds)
6 oz. tomato paste
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley
2 teaspoons dried basil
1/2 cup olive oil
2 minced garlic cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fresh ground pepper (to taste)
1 pound your favorite pasta (I used orzo)
This recipe also calls for 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese (I'm sure a vegan cheese will do) but I didn't use any and it turned out just fine.
Serves 4
Bring water to a boil for your favorite pasta noodles.
Lightly toast the pine nuts in the oven for 5 minutes at 350 F.
Combine all of the tomato sauce ingredients - including the toasted nuts - in a bowl and then add to your favorite cooked pasta and/or vegetables like I did. Delish!
