A member of the school's Athletics Hall of Fame, Andrea (McAllister) Gorski returned to The Hilltop when she was named the ninth head coach in program history in April 2016 and is in her third season as head coach at her alma mater.
Gorski returned to Bradley from Missouri Valley Conference rival Southern Illinois, where she spent the previous three years as associate head coach on former Bradley assistant Cindy Stein's staff. During Gorski's time in Carbondale, Southern Illinois improved its overall and conference records in each of her three seasons, culminating in the first 20-win season for the Salukis in almost a decade, as well as the program's first postseason appearance since 2007.
Improved records are nothing new, however, with Gorski leading her team to an improved overall win total in five of her last six seasons as a head coach. In fact, the lone exception during that time was her final season as head coach at Concordia (Mich.), which resulted in a 28-7 overall record and trip to the NAIA Sweet 16. Overall, Gorski has helped teams to an improved record in five consecutive seasons of coaching and eight of the last nine campaigns dating back to her first season as head coach at Concordia (Mich.).
In 2017-18, Bradley ranked in the top three in the MVC in both scoring offense and defense in the same season for the first time in program history. Bradley posted the lowest turnovers-per-game average in program history in 2017-18 with the season resulting in the highest win total on The Hilltop since 2012-13.
The Braves have posted an improved win total in each of her first two seasons and have done so in three consecutive seasons for the first time in program history. During Gorski's tenure, Leti Lerma became the first Brave to earn First-Team All-MVC honors since 2008-09 during a 2016-17 campaign in which she collected 13 double-doubles, broke the Bradley season rebounding record and became the all-time leading rebounder in program history.
Bradley has also produced a pair of MVC All-Freshman selections during Gorski's time as head coach at her alma mater. Chelsea Brackmann set the Bradley Freshman rebounding record in 2016-17 to earn a spot on the Valley's All-Freshman Team. Gabi Haack led the Braves in scoring as a frosh in 2017-18, averaging 10.5 points per game in addition to becoming the first Valley freshman in over 20 years to hit 68 three-pointers and grab 180 or more rebounds.
The Salukis had won a total of 15 games and just five MVC contests in the three years prior to Gorski's arrival at SIU, but racked up 37 wins and 22 conference victories in Gorski's final two seasons.
A native of Dearborn Heights, Mich., Gorski boasts 22 years of coaching experience, including 19 years as a head coach at the collegiate and high school levels. Before joining Stein's staff at Southern Illinois, Gorski was head coach at Concordia University in Ann Arbor, Mich., from 2008-13. In just five seasons, she became the winningest coach in the program's history.
Inheriting a team which had never made the NAIA national tournament, Gorski's squads reached the NAIA Tournament each of her last three seasons and made consecutive Sweet 16 appearances in 2012 and 2013. During her tenure with the Cardinals, the two-time conference coach-of-the-year selection led Concordia to a 106-59 (.667) overall mark and 58-28 (.674) conference record. In fact, Gorski's teams combined for an 80-24 (.769) overall record and 48-8 (.857) league record in her last three seasons at the school.
In addition to leading Concordia to its best national ranking in program history, Gorski's achievements included mentoring three first-team All-Americans and three conference players of the year. Off the court, she served as Interim Director of Athletics at Concordia during the 2011-12 school year and was Associate Director of Athletics for her final three seasons.
Gorski entered coaching shortly after graduating from Bradley in 1992 with a degree in business management and administration, serving as a graduate assistant for the Braves in 1992-93 before venturing into the private sector.
She returned to coaching three years later, taking over as head coach of Ladywood High School in February 1996. She led her squad to a 184-99 (.650) record in 12 seasons at the Livonia, Mich., school and the Blazers claimed 11 district titles and a pair of conference championships during her prep coaching career. Gorski was a three-time Catholic League Coach of the Year and was selected as the state coach of the year in 2005 by the Associated Press, Detroit Free Press and Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan.
A 1996 Bradley Athletics Hall of Fame inductee, Gorski was a first-team All-Gateway Conference selection as a senior in 1991-92. Her sophomore season included a school-record 12 conference victories and her final three seasons mark the only time in program history the Braves finished in the top half of the league standings in three consecutive seasons.
Gorski finished her career ninth in scoring at Bradley with 980 career points and still ranks 19th all-time in scoring on The Hilltop. She shared the 1992 Charles Orsborn Award with baseball player Matt Quinn after averaging 14.7 points per game as a senior. Gorski still ranks among the Bradley career top 10 in three-point field goals (6th), assists (4th), starts (T9th) and minutes played (8th).
Gorski has two children, Luke and Kiley.

This is a classic Egyptian way to serve bread as a starter course, with other dips and "mezzeh" (appetizers), or alongside kebabs with a nice green salad. This is also a fun gift idea to make as a hostess gift or for holiday gift giving. Portion dukkah into small mason jars along with a nice bottle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil!

Today I have a quick and easy monogram glitter ornament tutorial. It's perfect for gift giving and totally customizable. Last week I shared an easy stencil technique for a glitter ornament and this is just another way that you can get a cute design out of glitter.
To make your own you will need the following:
- 2×3 Wood Pieces (I found these at the craft store in small packages)
- Paint
- Glitter
- Mod Podge
- Rubber Stamp
- Ribbon
- Begin by drilling a hole in your wood piece. If you're not comfortable using a drill feel free to just glue your ribbon on at the end to allow it to hang.
- Next paint your wood piece making sure to cover the edges. After the paint dries apply a single coat of Mod Podge and allow to dry.
- Paint a thin even layer of Mod Podge onto a scrap surface and place your stamp on it like it is an ink pad and then stamp your wood piece with the Mod Podge.
- If you don't like how it stamped you can quickly rinse it off and start again.
- Next sprinkle generously with gold. Allow to set for at least an hour. Tap off the excess glitter and if necessary you might want to take a dry brush to clear the rest of the glitter.
- String a ribbon through the hole tie a knot then form a loop and tie a bow to allow it to hang. Hang on your tree or give it as as gift.
This was originally posted on Lines Across as a part of Rachel's awesome handmade ornament series.

Dengue Fever's new album, "Cannibal Courtship," comes out today, April 19, 2011. The band's Ethan Holtzman recently stopped by to talk about the release.
Q – Real quick, how did the name Dengue Fever come about?
A - I first heard the music in the late '90s. I was riding in the back of a pick up truck from Siam Reap, where Angkor Watt is located, to Phnom Penh. It was a long dirt road and all of the bridges had been blown up from war. I sat scrunched up in a little ball with thirty something villagers, some of them holding their carsick babies, others grasping on to their rooster in this rusty old truck with bald tires. The driver drove fast. My friend was up front sick with Dengue Fever. Every time I poked my head in to see how he felt, I caught sound of the driver's cassette tape that was looped for the eight- hour drive to the capital. The sounds were amazing and I asked him to write down the artists so I could purchase some of them from the local market.
Q – For those unfamiliar with your music, what can people expect from a live show or album?
A - They can expect to get goose bumps from Chhom Nimol's voice. They might get a little sweaty and slip into a trance because our sounds and vibrations have been known to be mind altering.
Q – The new album, "Cannibal Courtship," comes out today. This is the band's fifth studio release. How is this album different than previous ones?
A – "Cannibal Courtship" has a lot more English. We collaborated with the Living Sisters so our backing vocals are much richer. Generally, we took our time on this album - made the record that we wanted to make.
Q – Which song(s) do you like playing live the best and why?
A - I enjoy playing "Only A Friend" because it has so many different parts for the keys and horns. It's a fun song to perform that has an "Afro-Beatles" kind of flavor.
Q – With the musical landscape filled with pop music and progressive metal, how does Dengue Fever go about finding their niche in the industry?
A - We make fans by being on the road and by getting on film soundtracks. Little by little we steadily reach more and more people and take it to a higher level.
Q – Aside from merchandise, what do you want fans to take with them after leaving a Dengue Fever show? Is there a message with your music?
A - There is a message behind our music. We are a band that started off influenced by a body of work created by Cambodian musicians in the '60s. These musicians/singers were killed for playing music by the Khmer Rouge. We try to shine a light on this and make sure nothing like this will ever happen again.
Q – Thanks for taking the time. Is there anything you wanted to add?
A - I think no matter how large or small of an audience you have, there is power in doing something good for mankind or our planet. We try to do what we can by working with Wildlife Alliance to stop animal poaching in SE Asia. We also work closely with Cambodian Living Arts to help preserve the traditions of song and dance unique to Cambodia. We all can make a difference if we try.

Oh Eve. Why'd ya have to eat that dern ol' apple? To be fair, she had a craving. As a girl, I can understand. Plus, she was tempted! She didn't fully understand the consequences. I've never heard of a woman being tempted by a piece of fruit, but there wasn't a chocolate tree back then. Mmmm, chocolate tree.
AND God didn't seem to spell it out. All she had to go on was the word of a snake and her very limited understanding of what it means to be obedient. One little mistake and you've got your period for the rest of your life??! Doesn't seem quite fair. Also! Mankind did not fall until Adam took a bite. I'm totally okay with blaming him. Right, ladies?
Of course, I joke. The situation is much more complex. Adam and Eve walked around with God in the garden, having conversations, getting to know the world God created, growing, learning, communing with God. Naming the animals. Taking care of stuff. Being trained. Asking when the first chocolate tree might go in? The first caretakers or gardeners or conservators. However you like. So, it's not written, but I'm sure they probably had more than one conversation about THE tree. Right? Maybe not. Maybe God pointed out THE tree and said, "Don't eat that. 'Kay??" And maybe he only did that one time. Don't we ask our children, "How many times do I have to tell you??" Once should be enough.
Gall dern it, Eve! You ruined it for all of us. I truly believe that we experience this temptation every bleeding month. We are tempted into leaving the garden by biting into that juicy delicious morsel of self-doubt. It is peppered with other feelings of self-righteousness, ego, pride and wrath. It turns so sour and bitter on our tongue with each hearty mouthful. But once you start chowing down on some ripe slices of self-serving negativity, it's hard to stop. Impossible even. And we share that generous portion of ugliness with everyone who sits at our table. So our table doesn't have many guests after a while.
I can imagine Eve grumbling to herself like a regular jerk. "God doesn't want me to be smart. I can be smart. I can eat this apple. Why can't I have some apple? Why would God want me NOT to eat the apple? Why can't I be smart, powerful and all-knowing like God?" With Satan whispering in her ear the whole time, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!" And we don't even know what we're asking for. You asked for it, Eve.
I do this with my relationships. Every month. Blowing. It. Up.
Satan drove that wedge between our families in the first days. This is our curse to battle and be rigid against. But we don't wage war like this with arms and armor. We fight against ourselves to remain soft and malleable like those first bits of dust God blew breath into.
The garden, in this instance, being our preserved place of grace with our husband. Or family and friends. When I'm not on my period or leading up to that time of the month, I'm an absolute angel. I care for everyone. I don't mind caring for everyone. I prefer caring for everyone. Then, once-a-dern month, I get downright irascible. Contrary. Irritable. Squirrelly. Vindictive. Hateful. Profane. Bitchy! RESENTFUL!!! UN-friggin'-GRATEFUL!!!!! Wrong. Dead wrong I am. I go kicking through the gates of paradise, right on past all my blessings, shaking my fists on the way out. I go willingly and with spite.
How do I combat this? Oh, God, how do I fight this? I feel it coming every month. I feel those negative feelings welling up inside and I don't want them. I want your love to spring up inside of me instead. I want to stay in the garden. I don't want to be separate from you. I don't want to do this on my own. You know better, God. I see that. Show me how to love my husband. Remind me why I love him. He really is a good man and you've given me that. You brought him to me and gave me a reason to love him. You brought us together. Remind me why I'm here. Help me stay here. Help me evict those dark emotions that don't belong in your garden. Weeds are strong and fast. Once they take root, I'm done for. Don't let me slip away into sin and wander the desert of loneliness and despair without you or him. Help me find my way through this jungle of emotion, cravings and confusion. I know it's not the truth and I want what's true. I want to do life with you, God. I don't want that forbidden fruit of my selfishness. I want to be humble and peaceful. I can't do THAT without you.

TROY — In conjunction with the cities of Troy and Piqua, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will be hosting multiple public meetings to update residents and interested stakeholders about the Dam Modification/Removal Feasibility Study.
The first public meeting will be held at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 20 at the Miami County Highway Garage Conference Room, 2100 N. County Road 25-A, Troy.
As societies increasingly recognize the value of rivers to economic, societal, and ecological health and wellness, it has become increasingly evident that most low head dams are a hindrance to progress. The cities of Troy and Piqua, in their ongoing pursuit of creating better quality of life for residents and visitors alike, are reimagining what the Great Miami River looks like as it flows through their respective towns. This includes understanding how the low head dams play into this vision, and their place in the river's future.
The proposed dam modification/removal in both cities initiated a need for local leaders and residents to better understand the feasibility of the process including but not limited to: permitting, hydrologic and environmental impacts, cost-estimates, and potential mitigation requirements. A 2017 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service grant was awarded to the Miami SWCD to explore the possibility of dam removal and/or modification of the existing dams located in Troy and Piqua along the Miami River. The feasibility study includes a preliminary investigation into the means and methods of modifying and/or removing three dams within the cities limits.
The program will feature representatives from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Miami County SWCD, the cities of Troy and Piqua, and FlatLand Resources LLC. Representatives will discuss national dam removal trends, benefits and challenges to dam modification/removal, and information about the project and its goals. This will be a time to ask questions and offer your opinions/suggestions for what you would like to see on the Great Miami River.
Future meeting dates are yet to be determined.

Defining other people == absurd racism. Really.
One point became very clear indeed to me just a little while ago, while I was musing on how much better my "unruly" hair treats me when I get past the self-hatred and treat it with kindness, instead of trying to whip it into the kind of shape I have been led to believe it should have. This concerns a face of racism that is so common by now that very few people even recognize it as such.
When you insist that everybody inhabiting an entire continent surely looks the same, that is racist.
It also makes no sense whatsoever. All of North America's native inhabitants would not have the same skin tones, hair textures and colors, facial features, etc. any more than all of Europe's or Africa's. When you also lump in Central and South America, that becomes at least as absurd as conflating all the people in Eurasia. It makes no sense, and an ability/willingness to swallow that one whole indicates deeply rooted privilege and racism.
When you come up with crazy-assed Eurocentric explanations for people who did not look the way your ancestors expected when they first came into contact, that is absurdly racist. When you try to claim these "unusual looking" people as your own long-lost relatives ("Welsh Indians"), and use this an as excuse to abuse/dispossess ("Effects of alternative explanations") the Othered indigenous group based on their taking over and tearing up "your" stuff, nobody should ever take what you have to say on this matter seriously ever again. Ever. Even without Joseph Smith and his Amazing Golden Tablets thrown into the mix.
When you base these physical criteria on the writings of colonial scientific racists, trying to cram different "racial" groups into hierarchies–not so long ago–many of whom had never even clapped eyes on most of the people they were purporting to describe, that is even more ridiculous. If you cannot or will not admit that an awful lot of the evidence you rely upon now was produced by genocidal racists masquerading as impartial scientists–and others basing their work on those conclusions–you are teetering on the edge of similar moral insanity.
When you compound this by positing genetic bottlenecks as an explanation for people all being the same (whether they really are or not), that is an even better indication of racist attitudes. Again, even more so if you are pushing this as the only possible explanation among right-thinking people, and are basing this insulting house of cards on politically (and religiously) convenient ideology-driven assumptions*. When you refuse to see that this could possibly be dogma at all, you should not be taken seriously. Ah, dogma and serious inbreeding! You are still trying to own other people and their ancestors.
Unexpected mtDNA groups or perceived physical appearances dated from 9300-36000 years ago do not give you any more claim on them or their ancestors. Really.
When you further compound this by insisting (again, politically conveniently) that anyone who does not fit your preconceived notions of how a member of a particular group must look, must be lying about who they are–nobody with any critical thinking ability should take you seriously. For all the great benefits, or something like that. Cui bono?
When you feel entitled to define the identities of whole groups of people for them, that is just about as racist as you can get. When you compound this by continuing to base "legitimate" membership–in your eyes–on things such as "blood quantum" (A Relic Of Racism And Termination), that is genocidal racism. Similarly, when you think in terms of people having "Indian Blood" (in their veins? carried in a bottle? on someone else's hands? by transfusion?), that's based in some pretty dodgy concepts. Again, cui bono? (That really is an excellent piece.)
When you feel entitled to interrogate complete strangers, insisting that any member of a certain ethnic/racial group must present convincing evidence that they do, indeed, belong to said group, that is racist. When you further get to judge what qualifies as "convincing", that is also genocidally racist. Even more so when your ancestors compared their ancestors to wild animals, and tried to wipe them out–on paper, through pen-and-ink witchcraft, when it did not always work as well as they'd hoped in reality.
If you feel entitled to do all this, you are behaving genocidally yourself.
When your own internalized racism brings you to swallow any/all of this stuff hook, line, and sinker–without thinking, "gee, maybe we should look at this critically; these folks aren't known for telling us the truth!"–at best you are confused and unintentionally helping crush other people in similar boats to yours. It's probably time to wake up and stop helping with the Divide and Conquer. You'll be happier for it, as will more other people than you have been led to believe even exist.
* From another post: Ah, Beringia! You'll find gratuitous references in articles on contemporary Native artists, even. Repeating the hypothesis ad nauseam won't produce any more evidence that it really happened as described. To quote an endnote to a recent post:
"This idea is what got the whole Beringia ball rolling. Really. The Lost Tribes reverted to a state so "primitive" that they forgot how to build boats. It's still politically convenient, even if the Lost Tribes have mostly turned into Central Asians."

The clipper uses an LM358 dual opamp, not an LM386 power amp.
I thought audio clipping was not good for SSB, though I can't remember why. So compressors were the way to go. IF limiting did work, Squires id work on that. But you need an IF filter afterwards, which often meant two crystal filters. Though there was some success with limited limiting of the DSB signal, then through the IF filter to clear out the harmonics and the extra sideband.

Just the seeds, when passing through the digestive tract, remain intact and only help mechanically for a better digestion but most of their beneficial ingredients remains unused. If we want to take advantage of all the medicinal properties, the seeds need to be cooked, grinned or baked in order to come up with their valuable content.
Watermelon seeds contain dietary fiber that is essential for the normal function of the digestive tract, help in case of intestinal parasites, as well as in the treatment of patients with jaundice, dropsy and some inflammation.
Seeds of watermelon contains citrulline, a substance that acts as an antioxidant, promotes dilation of blood vessels and positive effect in the case of atherosclerosis, hypertension, angina and erectile dysfunction in men.
Even the famous Edgar Cayce, the father of holistic medicine, by the early twentieth century said that the watermelon seeds contain healthy ingredient particularly useful for the treatment of kidney and bladder. According to Cayce, this tea made from fresh watermelon seeds is a great diuretic and it's recommended for removal of kidney stones and pedestrians, as well as cleaning the bladder, kidneys and the urinary tract.
Cayce recommends the following recipe: Use 4 tablespoons of fresh watermelon seeds that are crushed or grinned and cook for 15 minutes in 2 liters of water. This amount should be stored and drink during the two days and the third day you make a break. The process thus continues for several weeks at the same intervals: using two days with a one day break.
One of the best remedies for the treatment of Escherichia coli bacteria in the urinary tract and treatment and prevention of parasites in the intestine is the water made from watermelon seeds. You need a 30-40 watermelon seeds, fresh or dried. Before you apply them, they need to be chopped, crushed or grinned. Put this in 1 liter of water and boil for ten minutes. When it cools down, it should be kept in the fridge and you need to drink that every day. It can be mixed with juice or some other flavor.
You'll need to drink this at least one liter per day from a few weeks to a few months until the bacteria is completely vanished. The recipe is suitable for both children and adults. During the summer, prepare and accumulate a sufficient amount of seeds in order to have them available for long-term use during the periods when watermelons aren't available.
A similar recipe is used for treating prostates, one of the most common ailments of men, especially for those older than 40 years. It is necessary to take two tablespoons of dried and powdered seeds of watermelon and pour over them a pint of boiling water. After half an hour, this drink should immediately be consumed and you'll need to drink this dose every day for a period of several weeks. The first positive results on the prostate you'll notice after ten days.
Watermelon seeds are also recommended for strengthening the heart and the muscle structure of the body. Using these seeds either in the form of tea or snack is recommended for boosting memory and concentration, and the splendor and beauty of your skin. Watermelon seeds are an excellent treatment as the watermelon itself for enhancing libido and potency in men. Tea made from the seeds is recommended for diabetics and as an effective tool for the treatment of diabetes type 2.

Sen. Charles Williams, D-Live Oak, is expected to unveil legislation today repealing the state's landmark law used to sue cigarette makers for the public health costs of smoking.
Williams is looking to abolish the controversial 1994 law that was repealed once by legislators but remained on the books by a veto of Gov. Lawton Chiles. The law also withstood a veto override attempt last year in the Senate.
Under the measure, the tobacco industry is stripped of most legal defenses used in lawsuits filed by smokers. Florida is seeking to recover more than $1 billion in taxpayer costs attributed to smoking-related diseases suffered by thousands of Medicaid patients.

I have three words for these lemon almond cookies – quick, easy, delicious! This simple cookie recipe requires only a handful of ingredients and takes 25 minutes from start to finish. Awesome, right? They are made with ground almonds, organic beet sugar, zesty lemon, egg whites and rolled in a little powdered sugar to give them a little bit of a crackled effect when they bake. In Canada, we call these crackle or crinkle cookies — a must have at Christmas time. And since there is no flour in this recipe, these Christmas cookies are also gluten-free.
A quick and simple cookie recipe
All you need to do to make these cookies is mix together the dry ingredients with the freshly squeezed lemon juice, beat the egg whites, roll the cookies into balls, and then into powdered sugar, pop them in the oven and within half an hour you are taste-testing these delicious gluten-free lemon almond cookies. What you can expect are a tangy cookie with a little bit of sweetness. Just enough to balance the lemon and still satisfy a sweet tooth. Heavenly!
How to adapt these Lemon Almond Cookies
I made these a couple time for colleagues, once with a little more ground almonds, but I had the feeling, as delicious as they were, that they were a touch to dry. So even that the cookie dough seems a little wet for this recipe, I prefer the cookies this way. You can always add 20 g more almond flour if you like a dryer cookie, or 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder. Either way, the result is a delicious lemony cookie. Also, if you prefer to make these in more of a cookie form than a ball, then use the bottom of a small glass to flatten the balls slightly before dipping them in powdered sugar.
- 200 g almond meal (blanched)
- 80 g organic beet sugar
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind (from organic lemon)
- 1 1/2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 large egg whites
- icing sugar, to coat the cookies (50 g or more)
Pre-heat oven to 325°F / 165°C and line a baking tray with parchment baking paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond meal, sugar, baking soda, and lemon rind. Add the lemon juice whisk together to combine.
Place the egg whites in a separate bowl and with an electric mixer beat until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the almond mixture until smooth.
Roll 1 tablespoon of mixture into a ball, repeat with the remaining mixture. Place the icing sugar in a small bowl and toss the dough balls into the icing sugar until well-coated.
Place on the prepared baking sheet leaving a few centimeters space between each cookie. Bake for 14-16 minutes, until lightly golden.
Allow to cool slightly on trays before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
If you make this easy gluten-free lemon almond cookies recipe, I'd love to hear how it turned out for you! Be sure to rate it and leave a comment below to let me know! Especially if you have tips for other readers. Or take a picture and tag me on Instagram @ellerepublic and don't forget to hashtag #ellerepublic so I don't miss it!

text: Southampton - Tiger Woods made waves this week when he docked his 155-foot yacht "Privacy" in Sag Harbour as his base of operations for the US Open.READ: US Open playoff change catches Spieth off-guardBut the 14-time major champion insisted on Tuesday there's a practical benefit to the decision: missing the worst of the traffic in and out of Shinnecock Hills this week."Staying on the dinghy helps," Woods said. "A few guys so far this week have said it's taken them from the hotel two and a half to three hours ... You get a little traffic, you get maybe a little fender bender, it's not inconceivable someone could miss their (tee) time."READ: Woods aims to put it all together at the US OpenShinnecock is located on the narrow eastern part of Long Island, accessible by just one road.From Sag Harbour to the east, Woods will be travelling against the worst of the traffic.He might also get a chance to explore the village, whose population of about 2 000 includes such celebrity residents as singer Billy Joel."Sag Harbour is a cute little town," Woods said. "I've only been there for a few days now. I haven't really got a chance to walk about a little bit, but certainly will this week."It's been nice to kind of get away from the tournament scene and go there, to my dinghy there, and just really enjoy it."Woods's self-deprecating description of the $20 million vessel, which includes a gym, movie theatre, full bar, eight-person hot tub and a scuba decompression chamber, as a "dinghy" might not seem so far off the mark in Sag Harbour, a magnet for wealthy vacationers where plenty of larger craft are to be seen.Asked if it "felt funny" not to have the largest yacht in New York Woods answered: "I'm not opposed to that."

It's not the greatest movie, but Martin & Eddie did a movie together years ago. Because they really wanted to do a movie together as much as anything else.
This was the theme song. Also underrated in my opinion.
It's not the greatest movie, but Martin & Eddie did a movie together years ago. Because they really wanted to do a movie together as much as anything else.
This was the theme song. Also underrated in my opinion.
Spike Lee's third film takes place on the hottest day of the summer in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, New York. I heard Spike say in an interview this week that while he didn't know what he was doing on his first film, She's Gotta Have It, and was finding his way with School Daze, with this film he finally felt like a 'director'. And it shows.
On to the tale of the tape…
Relevance: Fade in on a solo jazz version of "Lift Every Voice and Sing." Follow that up with Rosie Perez working it out to Public Enemy's "Fight the Power" as the opening credits kick in. And that's (literally) just the beginning…
Legacy: Yes, this was the film debut of Rosie Perez and Martin Lawrence, but is that really the first thing you think about with this film? As noted, this wasn't Spike's first film, and there were (and continue to be) black independent films with equally strong messages. But moreso than any other film of its generation, Do the Right Thing really put Spike Lee and modern black cinema on the map.
Craft: You know how you can watch a lot of 80s movies today and cringe at how dated they feel? Not this film. The 80s elements here feel (as they do in many classic films) as snapshots of the time they were created. Radio Raheem's massive boom box. The box haircuts of Raheem and Mookie. The conversation about how certain black celebrities (and now President's?) go beyond the racist definition of what a 'n—er' is. And how about the cast list? Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Samuel L. Jackson, Robin Harris, Danny Aiello, John Turturro, Frank Vincent…yes sir! And that's just the talent in front of the camera!
Crossover: In a big way. The film was nominated for Oscars and Golden Globes, it made noise at the Cannes Film Festival, it was widely regarded as one of (if not) the best film of the year. Kim Basinger made a point at the Oscars to tell the worldwide audience that it's a shame that Do the Right Thing wasn't nominated for Best Picture. (And it was a shame. Spike's never been close to winning an Oscar, how is that possible?) Anyway, the moral of the story is Spike Lee had arrived.
Apollo: In the event you the reader haven't seen the film yet, I won't ruin the biggest 'Apollo' moment of the film. Instead I'll focus on the film's coda: two very good quotes. The first from Dr. King, which references his belief that an eye for an eye eventually leaves everyone blind. The second from Malcolm, which argues that self-defense is not violence; as a matter of fact it's common sense. The film does not in an explicit way express which way 'is the right thing,' it's up to the viewer to decide for him or herself. An argument that can continue into infinity…
The film countdown ends shortly…
Dating back to the days of Redd Foxx (and earlier), black stand up comedians would pay their dues on a different route than their white counterparts. Affectionately known as the 'chitlin' circuit', the black stand ups of the 80s and 90s would tour the country for years, decades even, performing blue material that catered directly to a specific audience.
Russell Simmons' Def Comedy Jam essentially brought the chitlin circuit to the mainstream. A staple of HBO in its pre-Soprano days, Def Comedy Jam in its heyday showcased more black talent in one episode than most broadcast network shows do in a season.
Enough prologue, on to the tale of the tape…
Relevance: As described in the intro, Def Comedy Jam became an instant sensation with fans of black comedy. Hosted by Martin Lawrence and DJ'ed by Kid Capri, the show 'became' the chitlin circuit I mentioned earlier. With the freedom that HBO still provides to this day, no subject matter was taboo, and I'd love to reprint some of the jokes here, but sadly this is PG rated blog.
Legacy: From a TV show point of view, BET's Comic View was obviously the direct attempt to capitalize on this with a cleaner set of language. When I think of legacy in terms of this show though, my first thought was 'how many black comedians who went on to bigger things appeared on Def Comedy Jam? A quick fact check made me realize the better question would have been, 'Who DIDN'T appear on the show at some point?' The only big name 90s black comedian who I think never came close to crossing that stage (for fairly obvious reasons when you think about it) was Sinbad.
Craft: The first few years of the show, that comedy was superb. And I don't say this to put down some of the stand ups who appeared when the show started to lose steam, but everybody is not as funny as Martin Lawrence, Bernie Mac, Joe Torry or Dave Chappelle. You throw in Comic View starting to dilute the talent pool and it was inevitable that the things would change.
Crossover: It was known I think. Chris Rock did a pretty funny parody of the show when he hosted SNL once. Hip hop was in its Golden Age, so it's not a stretch to think the white kids who were buying Public Enemy albums were also watching Def Comedy Jam.
The TV show countdown continues later with the making of a future movie star…
Richard Pryor is universally recognized as the black comedian who set the stage for the onslaught of African-American stand ups who followed him in the 80s, 90s, and present day. An argument can be made that there are funnier stand up films by some of the comedians that came after him, but Richard Pryor Live on the Sunset Strip set the standard for almost every black comic stand up film that came after it.
On to the tale of the tape…
Relevance: While he certainly wasn't the 'first' (Redd Foxx also comes to mind as someone who made a dent in the mainstream), Richard Pryor is held in such high praise by comedians and entertainers alike that it's hard to imagine someone hitting that level of reverence today, working mostly as a standup. You don't need to have an eagle eye to spot a young Jesse Jackson in the crowd during this show, so um, Rich was at the heart of the community to say the least…
Legacy: Wow. Where to begin? On a superficial level, it's probably not a coincidence that in his first big stand up film Delirious, Eddie Murphy rocks a bright red leather suit that mimics that bright red suit Rich wore in this film. The way Rich prowls the stage when he delivers his jokes, it's easy to see Chris Rock mimicing his movements. Rich's confession that he'll stop using the N-word to tear down his people has echoes of the reason Chappelle said he quit his own mega popular show. Rich's comedic telling of his nearly life ending episode is definitely reminiscent of Martin talking about his notorious mental breakdown in his own stand up film. And how about the whole going back to Africa bit that Jamie all but stole word for word for his best standup special from back in the day (though I'll be the first to admit that bit is still hilarious)? Safe to say, every black comedian worth his salt watched this film more than once…
Craft: I make no claims to be a comedian, but watching this film you really appreciate how many different types of comedy Richard Pryor did really, really well. There's the straight silliness/the storyteller (the animals in the jungle), the black comedian (the bit about brothers in the pen), and the self-deprecating (the whole bit about lighting himself on fire). Even the comedians of my generation can usually only master one or two of these skill sets. Richard Pryor really was the Man.
Crossover: It wasn't just black people who loved Richard Pryor of course. Sequences like his story about working for the Mafia illustrate how Rich's comedy went well, well past being just a black thing. He was just one really, really funny motherf—–.
An all time classic comes in next at #9. But now that we're in the top 10 that wasn't much of a hint was it? Guess you'll have to come back later to check it out…
Originally written for Sylvester Stallone (who would take parts of the original idea to make Cobra), Beverly Hills Cop is universally agreed to be the film that made Eddie Murphy a movie star. Don't need much more for the intro, on to the tale of the tape…
Relevance: In terms of African-American 'movie stars' (which I'll define as people who you can put the name on the top of the marquee and people will show up regardless of the film), that list is still pretty short more than 20 years later. Denzel. Will. I'd argue those may be the only two who can do anything and everybody will show up. And both of those brothers came along after Eddie Murphy. Easy to forget now.
Legacy: Essentially, every one of his starring vehicles after this, as well as every movie starring Chris Rock or Martin Lawrence to name two. And those are just headliners. Let's not forgot about the Mike Epps' and Bernie Macs who also benefitted. (As a sidenote, I know ALL these guys were inspired by Richard Pryor, but I would argue Rich's legacy will always be as a stand up comedian who did a few movies. Eddie was a FANTASTIC stand up comedian who completely stopped doing it once he became a movie star.)
Craft: All reports indicate that this was one of those films where the script was just kind of 'there', and a lot of the best scenes and jokes were improvised by Eddie and the cast. So does that make it better or worse from a craft point of view? I could see either side…
Crossover: Oh yeah…that's why it's ranked so high. The highest grossing film of the year (narrowly beating out Ghostbusters I believe, you fact-checkers are welcome to correct me if I'm wrong on that point.) It seems silly now, but in the 80s there were 'three black celebrities': Eddie, Michael, and Prince. This film went a long way to putting Eddie in that company.
The countdown continues later this month…
This one makes me reminisce how good we had it in the 90s. I can pick up the phone right now and start quoting from this show to put my people into a laughing fit. For the uninitiated, Martin told the story of a Detroit DJ (Martin Payne) and his comical relationships with his girl (Gina) and their friends (Pam, Cole, Tommy).
Alright, on to the tale of the tape…
Relevance: The show was set in Detroit, with five black principal characters. As my militant partner in crime likes to point out, there was a Do the Right Thing poster hanging in Martin's apartment. We'll stop there.
Craft: I might be a little biased since this show is also a personal favorite, but in my opinion if you want to do laugh out loud comedy that doesn't get stale with time, you could do a LOT worse than watching Martin.
Legacy: Everyone who watched Def Comedy Jam knew how funny Martin Lawrence was. Among other things, this show proved Martin could still be hilarious without ever cussing. Which opened the door for Big Momma's House!
Crossover: I'm not sure how much Martin's career hit the mainstream because of this show. Martin was always up against NBC's 'Must See TV' lineup (Seinfeld, Friends) so I imagine that the 'mainstream' people watching Martin were the same types who were watching him on Def Jam anyway.
Apollo: This could SO easily be its own post. I'll list my own personal top five while you reminisce on yours…
5. In the first season, Martin introduced the character of Jerome: a permed out, gaudy jewelry wearing brother with a thick goatee, straight playa. What made this character so funny to me was I have a second uncle in Louisiana who looked AND acted exactly like Jerome. One of my cousins picked up on this at a funeral when we were kids and I felt so guilty for busting out laughing in the middle of church.
4. Among Martin's other characters was a white guy named Bob. His most notorious moment was probably when he started wilding out a party with Gina and Pam. "Gina's outta control, Pam's outta control, THIS WHOLE FREAKING PARTY'S OUT OF CONTROLLLLLL!!!!"
3. Later in that same episode, Martin (who thinks Gina's creeping on him) hides under the bed when Gina has the maintenance man fix her 'clogged vent'. By the time the maintenance cat says, "When I finally pull this out, you are going to LOVE me!", I was dying laughing without Martin's facial expressions. This is immediately followed by one of the five worst 'fake beatdowns' you will ever see. Martin was a clown!
2. Maybe the greatest 'little man paranoia' story ever, had Martin having to stand up to Tommy 'Hitman' Hearns. The whole episode is classic, but when Martin feels slighted and calls out Hearns with the line. "Hey Tommy, I talked to Sugar (Ray). He says you're the Get Hit Man!" Then he turns around and says 'What?' trying to punk some random dude out; that still kills me.
1. Martin's CD player is missing. This leads to what to this day is still probably the best New Jack City parody you'll ever see. Having everyone dressed in black, Martin plays the Nino role, threatening his friends with a toy Doberman. This was a taped television show, and you can still clearly see damn near the whole cast bust out laughing throughout the scene. Oh, and for story purposes, 'Bruh Man' borrowed Martin's CD player. Remember Bruh Man?
Alright, as I debate whether my need to be objective is preventing me from ranking this show higher, I can tell you another classic sitcom awaits next month…
Boomerang is one of the enduring black films of the 90s. On the surface it can be categorized as just 'another Eddie Murphy movie,' but really it's so much more. The story revolved around a player named Marcus Graham, who gets the tables turned on him. Most of you probably know the story, so let's get to the tale of the tape…
Relevance: Directed by House Party's Reggie Hudlin, here's a quick rundown of a few members of the cast: Eddie Murphy, Chris Rock, Halle Berry, Martin Lawrence, David Alan Grier, Tisha Campbell, Robin Givens, Grace Jones, Eartha Kitt, Lela Rochon, John Witherspoon…MAN!!! I know there's been talk of doing a black 'Ocean's 11,' but I'd argue Boomerang was it!
Legacy: Take your pick. Allegedly after House Party and this movie, Martin decided to cast Tisha as Gina for his new sitcom, a little show called Martin. There's John Witherspoon taking it to the next level with his 'coordination.' There's Halle Berry officially taking the crown of 'woman every brother in America wants for a girlfriend/wife'. (It's hard to believe now, but there was a time long ago when Halle Berry wasn't 'Halle Berry' yet.)
Craft: Ahh, this was the 'Golden Age' when you were expected to be both technically sound and entertaining as a black film. Good times. Still a pretty watchable film today.
Crossover: Do you remember the soundtrack? Yeah that's still a great album: 'Love Should Have Brought You Home Last Night' (the introduction of Toni Braxton), 'Hot Sex', 'I'd Die Without You', and one of the biggest songs ever, 'End of the Road' by Boyz II Men. It's actually a nice song again now, but if you were around that year and you heard it at least twice an hour for four months straight, it became unbearable. But it is a nice song.
Apollo: The Grace Jones perfume commercial? The perfect feet? The seduction scene with Eartha Kitt (and her butler)? Again, with this much talent (comedic and otherwise), take your pick.
Alright, back next month with the next piece.

REEDSPORT � It�s not uncommon for tourists to look for a rip-snorting time when they visit the coast, but things can get a little dicey when that visitor is named �Cash� and happens to be a 1,500-pound bull.
Cash escaped from a parked trailer on Elm Street, in a neighborhood just a block off Highway 101, about 4 p.m. Sunday and toured about an eight-block area of town before he was rounded up 45 minutes later, according to the Reedsport Police Department.
�It�s not every day you see a bull running down the streets of Reedsport,� said Sgt. Tom Beck, a 13-year veteran with the Reedsport Police Department. �The main concern for us was to keep him away from the highway.�
The bull is owned by Candace Carr of Scappoose, who was transporting the animal to Scappoose and stopped in Reedsport to see if it needed water, police said.
While Carr was opening the gate, the bull was startled and jumped out of the stock trailer.
Beck said about 15 to 20 people helped to corral the bolting bovine, including members of the Douglas County Sheriff�s Office, volunteers from the Reedsport police and fire departments, and other community members.
An officer was finally able to lasso the bull and a second rope was secured to help control him, Beck said.
�A few of us were farm folks,� Beck said.
No one, including Cash, was injured, and no property damage has been reported, police said.
