NEW ROCHELLE — Ray Rice shimmied amid a pile of yellow-shirted mini future football players.
"Any dogs in the house?" he hollered.
"Woof, woof, woof," the little guys replied.
"Any dogs in the house?"
"Woof, woof, woof."
Rice was having more fun than the kids Saturday at Ray Rice Day, at Joe Fosina Stadium in New Rochelle, where Rice grew up.
The "dogs in the house" chant was made famous by Ray Lewis, the great linebacker and Baltimore Ravens team leader who retired after the Super Bowl victory last winter. Ravens safety Ed Reed is also gone, to the Houston Texans.
SORRY: Lem Barney apologizes for 'deadly' comments
Rice, 26, the three-time Pro Bowl running back, says he wants to be one of the new team leaders in his sixth NFL season. Whiile some wonder if quarterback Joe Flacco has the rah-rah personality to lead, Rice, himself usually a quiet guy, is ready to assist.
"A leadership role is something I definitely don't mind taking upon now, because I was mentored by one of the greatest leaders probably ever to play the game in Ray Lewis," Rice said.
"A lot of his leading was by example, and when he spoke, everybody listened because they had that respect for him. So I think being a leader comes with how much respect people have for you. These guys look at the way I work and they understand that my actions are going to show on the field."
Rice is known for his work ethic, and working hard was his message to the children, and it's why those who know him best think he's a natural leader, even if he hasn't been the most vocal player in the locker room.
PHOTOS: Minicamps around the NFL
"His personality just attracts him to that," said free-agent safety Courtney Greene, who played with Rice at New Rochelle High School and Rutgers. "He just shows by example.
"He's not very vocal. It's going to be a bit of a change for him. He's usually just a guy who works hard, and being as talented as he is, that's the way it usually is. I think he's going to be fine in that role. He's earned his keep in the league, and people pay attention to him and look for his advice.
"But when Ray wanted something to be heard," Greene added, "he would say it and everybody would listen and take heed."
Devin McCourty — a co-captain for the New England Patriots who attended Ray Rice Day with his twin brother, Jason, of the Tennessee Titans; they were Rutgers teammates of Rice, too — agreed.
"When a guy comes on and wins a starting position as a true freshman, I think that speaks a lot," he said. "He assumed that leadership role early in his college career and in the NFL. I'm sure now, this far in his career, he wants to be a leader. With leaders, it's all about being yourself. People want to follow you for a reason, so that's all you've got to do, continue to be who you are, and people will continue to follow you."
Carpiniello writes for The (Westchester County, N.Y.) Journal News, a Gannett property.

Average ProductI didnt like the fact that although this comes with 30 rollers as stated, it came only with 15 clips to hold the rollers in place. Therefore I do not have enough roller clips to make full use of the 30 rollers.Sep 10, 2007Lachelle Dozier / Hampton, VA

Average Performance. Wouldn't Buy Again.Reading the propaganda for this product convinced me that this is the one for my hair. However, after using it several times, I have found that I am disappointed. The smallest rollers seem to get hot enough, but none of the other sizes do. My hair is long, and thick, and the rollers just dont get hot enough. After rolling my hair around one of the rollers, I can slide my finger right inside the shaft and it only feels warm. Not hot.Aug 29, 2007Cj

Just What I WantedI have layered straight hair. It is thick and there is a lot of it. I love these rollers bc there are so many and in different sizes so you can get a different look. They were not so hot that I had trouble and the little nubs on them hold the hair so you get a tight clean roll up! I dont want a tight round curl which other rollers give and these give a nice wave and tons of BODY. Perfect for what I was looking for.Jun 2, 2007Janet / CT

Great ProductFinally! Really great rollers. Ive bought many sets only to be disappointed that they either frizz or damage hair without creating beautiful bouncy curls. Ive had these curlers about a month and couldnt be happier. I loved them so much that I showed them to my Mom, and she had me order a set for her (which she also loves). She had been hanging on to a set shes had for literally 20 years and has finally tossed those out because we found a good set. The only cons I see is that they are kinda slow to heat up -- takes about 15-20 minutes. Also, they dont supply enough clips, but those can be picked up any where. Overall, I think they are a great product that by far surpasses any thing else Ive seen in the market!Apr 19, 2007Kelly / KY

Babyliss Hot Rollers Are The Best!A friend at work, who has beautiful hair I may add, got me to use these rollers. I always complimented her on her big curly locks and asked her what she used. When she told me she used Babyliss hot rollers I immediately bought them that same day! I love them. I love to straighten out my kinky tight-curled hair and use the rollers at the end. They hold on great to the thick hair I have and really, I never wind up using all of them, because just a few do the job. The clips that come with it are fantastic--they do the job! I recommend these rollers with no doubt! My mom has even taken them out of my bathroom to use them from time to time--she loves them too!Feb 21, 2007Anita / Fontana, CA.

I'm SatisfiedI am a true beginner in terms of curling my hair so take my review w/ a grain of salt. I typically just roll my entire head to get crazy curls. (Smaller size at the bottom and the bigger ones as I go towards the crown.)Heres what I like/love about this product:1) Rollers get hot enough but not so hot as to burn your hair off. Following the directions, I hold the rollers by the ends.2) The amount of rollers (30) is very nice. I can almost roll all of my hair w/ them. I think I would need 45-50 rollers but I dont want to spend $$ to buy 2 sets so this is a nice compromise.3) I have layers so the rollers being different sizes works well. I was skeptical at first w/ the different sizes but I realize now that I do need them.4) Love how the rollers are flocked! Definitely helps while youre rolling each section. Cons/dislikes:1) Unit doesnt come w/ the same # of clips as rollers. Why they do this, I have no clue! Ok, probably to save $$ but the clips are probably worth pennies and the amount of $ I spent, couldnt I get enough clips? 2) Unit heats up faster than I thought but its still kinda slow if you think about it. Id say it takes about 15 minutes for max heat. 3) This is a minor one but it would be nice if BaByliss included a little pamphlet of how to get certain looks. As I said before, Im a total beginner so right now, I only have 1 technique down and thats to roll everything so I have curls all over. So far, love the product and hopefully it wont break down on me in a few months. =)If anyone has websites or books to give you pointers on how to curl hair to get certain looks, please post! =)Jan 24, 2007Julie / Los Angeles, CA

Skip to comments.Former President Carter warns US action on Syria without UN backing 'illegal'
Posted on 08/30/2013 10:24:47 AM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist
Former president Carter on Friday came out strongly against military action in Syria without the United Nation's blessing.
"Punitive Action" without a mandate from the U.N. Security Council or "broad support from NATO and the Arab League" would be illegal under international law and unlikely to alter the course of the war,"...
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
The Arab League and Britain (and even Germany now, too) have backed out, and Carter said AND. France isn't going to put this up for a vote, either, because it would lose. Everyone knows this. Obama MUST get Congressional approval, otherwise he will be going against the standard that he and Biden set in 2007.
Shut the *&^% up Carter, anyway.
Right, don't get the permission of our own legislative body, it's the foreign legislative body that's important. When is this 89 year old embarrassment going to die??
F the UN. Its illegal w/o the consent of the UNITED STATES Congress.
About the kind of stupid statement I'd expect from the 2nd worst president.
Jonah Goldberg at the National Review talks about this obsession with getting the UN's approval:
Its always better to have friends and allies pitching in many hands make light work, and all that. But if something is in Americas vital national interest, it doesnt cease to be because Belize or Botswana wont lend a hand. Posses arent more moral in proportion to the number of white hats who sign up.
Somehow this basic fact was lost in the last decade or so. According to liberals in the Bush years, the essence of wise foreign policy boiled down to: Its better to be wrong in a big group than to be right alone.
Anyway, what I really dont get is the investment of moral authority in the Security Council or the U.N. generally. The permanent members of the U.N. Security Council are France, Great Britain, the United States, China, and Russia. The other nations of the 15-member body rotate on and off the council. They also dont get a veto the way the permanent five do. But, for the record, they currently are: Argentina, Australia, Azerbaijan, Guatemala, Luxembourg, Morocco, Pakistan, South Korea, Rwanda, and Togo.
Now, taking nothing away from the great and glorious accomplishments of the Luxembourgeois, Togoans, and Rwandans never mind the invaluable insights the Pakistanis have into what constitute Americas vital interests I am at a near-total loss to see how gaining their approval for a measure makes that measure more worthwhile. If you believe Bill Clinton was right to bomb the Balkans to stop ethnic cleansing (which I do), do you think that action was any less moral or right because he did it without the support of the U.N. and therefore according to international law illegally? I dont.
What say you?
To the Democrats illegal is OK if it comes from the heart , ROFL
I was just wondering if OSlimeball prez would tell that ole crazy white cracker to sit down and shut up.
Carter vs Obama, thats a fight that nobody would pay to see. The fur will fly!!
I was just wondering if OSlimeball prez would tell that ole crazy white cracker to sit down and shut up.
Even a broken clock is right at least once a day and this time he is correct. Letting this guy get away with marching off to war, regardless of the high moral ground he set for us, is just going to embolden this POS to build upon that later. He will build upon his recent spate of executive orders and everything will be directed from the oval office. This is why they put children in playpens, to protect themselves, this guy unbounded is a major threat to the nation and our liberties.
Foreign policy expert Carter weighing in. The only thing he declared war on was the US economy.
If something is the right thing to do, it is the right thing to do even WITHOUT the UN's backing.
If something is the wrong thing to do, it is the wrong thing to do even WITH the UN's backing.
As usual, Carter is half wrong. It would be legal if Obama got UN Security Council approval, but also legal if he got the U.S. Congress to grant him the authority.
LOL, Carter manages to be wrong about whose authorization we need and manages to throw Obama under the bus at the same time.
LOL, Carter manages to be wrong about whose authorization we need and manages to throw Obama under the bus at the same time.
Barack Obama, War Criminal.
Gee I like the sound of that...
I thought intervention was a bad idea. But after hearing Carter's latest asinine statement, I guess I need to reconsider.
Those two elephants in the room (that you describe) are exactly why I posted this. LOL.
Cool - that way Obimbo will be a Nobel Peace Prize Winner AND a war criminal!
The President does not need permission from Congress to legally go to war. It is a reasonable question to ask though.
The President does not need permission from a foreign body to legally go to war. It is a traitorous person who even considers the legal need for foreign permission.
Democrats cant be crackers. Cracker is a slavery term, and everyone knows that it was the Democrats who were the anti-slavery party. /sarc.
Even a broken clock.... etc..
Not soon enough.
Anytime a dem wants to go to war, they SHOULD have to take that step of getting UN buy-in, since THEY'RE the ones pushing it.
I guess I should add the /sarc... just in case my last msg gets misconstrued.
I would take Carter as President over 0bama ANY day. At least Carter is white and therefore accountable for his actions and our Congress wouldn't be afraid of being called 'racist' if to challenge him, like they are with 0bama.
Congress shall declare war...
This has always meant that if a president wants to declare war, he has to get their approval.
A declaration of war is not always necessary, however, but normally a president needs to get the formal support of Congress. Bush was very careful to get support, even when going into a situation where our enemy was not another state, initially, but terrorist groups and a couple of states (loosely understood, in the case of Afghanistan) that were thought to be supporting them. But he was actually was supported by Congress and everybody else when he went into Afghanistan and even into Iraq (which I think was not a bad thing but ended badly when we started kowtowing to Islam).
Clinton, the left's golden boy, had actually gotten all of his "authorization" to support the Muslims in Bosnia from the UN, which of course was completely manipulated by its Islamic members, and the Dems let Americans be UN troops.
Obama isn't having as much luck. This is partly because his obnoxious behavior has pissed off Europe and partly he doesn't understand Islam and doesn't realize that his being a Sunni supporter (because he believes it's the most anti-Western Islam) is upsetting other Muslims. He thought he would be their hero. But it's also because he doesn't realize that the Saudis want to keep the good times rolling for their princes and they don't want him to interfere with it.
The problem is that Obama, loose cannon in chief, could set off a true conflagration in the ME that could involve the entire world.
I'm not sure where it is in "international law" that you need "broad support from NATO and the Arab League".
Maybe Mandela and Carter can hold hands on that day as the Gates Of Hell open. Then reserve a table for BO.
The expert on mediocrity and criticism of America weighs in. I don't give a Rats A** about what the U.N. says. The fact is action without the approval of the U.S. Congress is illegal. Where are all the protestors that bashed Bush? Where is Biden with the threat of impeachment? If these people could be any more shallow they would be on the other side of the earth.
Damn. When you're a liberal, and you've lost Jimmy Carter, you've lost the war.
Unfortunately our voice, the Congress, has been rendered useless. They are more interested in the power and money. The courts and President run the entire show.
Excellent post! You articulated what I was thinking. We need to embrace any situation which might further emasculate B-HO and keep him away from ANY big boy decisions, as much as possible.
So not only was Desert One a mistake, it was illegal too Mr. Persident?
Err.... Ummm... I'm late for my Exlax... Err...
Even Jimmah Carter is rarely like a broken clock ....
Okay that's it. This is definitely Armageddon now if Russia, Syria and Carter make more sense than our President and Secretary of State.
Yup, one anti-American moron vs another anti-American moron. I can at least take solace in the fact that although I agree with the 2nd worst President in US history that we should not intervene in Syria, I disagree with him about the reason. The UN carries zero authority. They should curl up and die. At a minimum we should evict those gelded bureaucrats from our shores.
Now, getting Congressional approval, especially when the country is so divided about this, is another matter.
You won't believe this, but the Obama admin is going to attack Syria over being outraged by what they saw... in YouTube videos.
Jimmah, go find McCain and both of you—shut up!
Your post sums it up excellently.
Youtube with Biden at that time warning President GW not to start military action against Iran without approval from Congress. If GW did, Biden promised to start impeachment proceedings.
One might ask Joe, Why not now Joe if your Obozo Liar bombs Syria? Oh, sorry I forgot: IOKIYAD (It's OK If You're A Democrat).
"LOL, Carter manages to be wrong about whose authorization we need and manages to throw Obama under the bus at the same time."

"Love vibrant and bright colors! These 556 NB are really very very comfy, cute, nice, soft and they fit perfect. Am standing for 10 hrs on my feet and running around in the store, plus walking out my dog (she pulls me) and commuting and driving around, and my feet feel relax after so many hours doing all those activities. It's like walking on the air and cushion.Wishing they will come in more colors. Am getting only compliments on my NB 556. Great purchase :-)!"

Comfortable and Bright
"The color on these shoes is a bit garish, which is what I wanted. If you're not a fan of vivid colors stay away from these. They are so comfortable. I work in a warehouse on a concrete floor for 8 to 10 hours, my feet were cushioned the whole time. These are way better than the 442's, which are thin and too narrow."

By a surprisingly wide margin, Elbert County voters gave the thumbs-down to Ballot Question 1A, the so-called 51st state initiative.
The ballot question's defeat was a clear signal from voters to county commissioners to end the secession discussion.
In five of the 11 counties where the secession question appeared on the ballot, the measure passed. But Elbert County voters weren't so keen on exiting Colorado. Only 42 percent — or 3,810 voters — voted yes, while 57 percent — 5,137 voters — rejected the idea of trying to form a 51st state.
Before election results were announced, Board of County Commissioners Chairman Robert Rowland said he had received more e-mails and calls on the 51st state proposal than any other issue since taking office.
But going forward, Rowland said that he and the other two commissioners won't spend any more of the county's time — or money — pursuing the idea.
Voters this year were clearly in a penny-pinching mood, rejecting a handful of measures that would have boosted funding to both county government and local schools.
Two ballot issues — a proposed mill levy increase to help shore up the county's finances and a repeal of the tool tax exemption — also were defeated by large margins.
Ballot Issue 1B — repeal of the tool tax exemption — failed by a nearly 3-1 ratio, with 73 percent of voters voting no.
Ballot Issue 1C — a plan to increase the mill levy on property taxes — also failed by a wide margin, with nearly 85 percent of county voters voting no.
The rejection of the proposed tax increase puts even more pressure on the county to fund ongoing operations and repair or replace outdated and decaying equipment and infrastructure.
"The bottom line is that it will push us to be as efficient as we possibly can be," Rowland said about the election result. "We are going to turn over every rock we can to find places to save money and get creative with finding efficiencies."
Countywide, voter turnout in the vote-by-mail election eclipsed 50 percent, "which is even higher than we were expecting," said county elections manager Sherry McNeil.
"All in all, I'd say this year's election went pretty smoothly," added McNeil, who was hired by the county just three months before this year's election.
Interviewed in his office two days after Election Day, Rowland was going through the county's budget, line by line, looking for ways to cuts expenses and increase revenues.
The commissioner was critical of what he called "unfunded state mandates," which he said continue to rise and will add hundreds of thousands of dollars to county expenditures in 2014 while the county's anticipated revenues next year, he added, are expected to remain steady at approximately $7.5 million.
"Just mailing out ballots to every registered voter in the county — dead or alive — costs us $97,000 each election," Rowland said.
Elizabeth voters also failed to pass Ballot Issue 3B, a proposed $3.8 million bond that would have allowed the school district to acquire needed equipment and repair school facilities.
More than 60 percent of voters voted no on that initiative.
And in a hotly contested Elizabeth School Board race, members Carol Hinds and Deb Spenceley were re-elected while Christopher Richardson gained a seat on the five-member board.
According to the unofficial results, Spenceley edged out fourth-place finisher Amilda Heckman by just 15 votes.

PLAN's racial justice organizing seeks to highlight and develop solutions to the most vexing and harsh manifestations of structural racism in Nevada that relate to education, health care and economic issues. Since early 2009, PLAN has worked with local, national and regional allies to compile a Racial Equity Report Card on the Governor, both houses of the Legislature, and all 63 individual legislators, based on their votes related to racial equity. Developing the report is a campaign in itself, involving hundreds of hours of volunteer and staff time to analyze votes, gather data, determine our methodology and write the narrative. The report, released in November 2011, highlighted the need for Nevada to develop more rigorous and just policies related to inequities in education, health care, and economic opportunity.
We want to reframe the debate in Nevada on racial inequities. The default position in Nevada for whatever calamity befalls a vulnerable family or individual is "it's their own damn fault." We want to build a more reflective and robust public sentiment in Nevada that supports more equitable public policies because people here believe that our fates are shared.
The Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada and Western States Center have long collaborated to advance our common missions of social justice and fighting for equitable social policies. Both organizations prioritize building power for change with groups most often pushed to the margins of public policy. The goal of Uniting Communities is to create leaders within the LGBTQ/immigrant community and provide cohort members the tools necessary to be advocates for our causes and one day run for public office. Beginning in October 2012, Uniting Communities Nevada will hold monthly convenings with cohort members to further develop leadership skills and build upon our success.
A sample of what Uniting Communities has accomplished thus far:
PLAN also holds dismantling racism workshops as part of our leadership and organizational development strategy. We need strong leaders and organizations that know how to analyze and commit to stopping oppressive practices and replace oppressive structures. Gandhi said be the change you want to be, so a good portion of our workshop deals with our complicity, however unintentional, in perpetrating this system, and how we can take steps to change our behavior. The primary purpose is to build stronger and more effective leaders whose loving hearts and keen minds will change their organizations, communities and our country for the better.
Racial disparities are rooted in policy decisions and institutional actions dating back prior to statehood and are grounded in our national history. Between 2000 and 2010, the poverty rate nearly doubled in Nevada. During the current financial crisis, the hardest hit by foreclosures, bankruptcies and unemployment are communities of color. Disparities in health outcomes, graduation rates and other leading indicators of social well-being continue to plague the Silver State.
The Racial Equity Report Card examines legislation introduced in the Nevada Legislature that directly impacts Nevada's communities of color, as well as scores legislators and the governor on their responses to the bills. The report card evaluates four major areas of legislation: education equity, economic equity, health equity and civil rights. The last major section, institutional racism, reviews legislation that would have increased or exacerbated existing racial disparities.
Since 2009, PLAN has released a report card after the completion of each legislative session in order to hold state decision-makers accountable for the votes they cast on bills related to racial equity. Through research, education, media coverage and lobbying, the Racial Equity Report Card exposes institutional racism and seeks improvement in future policy outcomes. PLAN calls on Nevada leaders to make racial equity a top state priority in order to avert continued crisis and to promote well-being for all people in the state.

Bellissimo appartamento in pieno centro di Amsterdam. Pulito e ben arredato, munito di tutti i confort come: tv, wii fii, piccolo ma efficiente bagno, cucinino con tutto ciò che serve ed un cortiletto privato dove è permesso fumare. Ci abbiamo soggiornato con 4 amici a fine Novembre per 4 notti e siamo stati benissimo!

Everything was wonderful, the owners where most helpful and friendly!! The apartment was perfect, the location was exceptional, the relaxation was spiritual and the sleep was exquisite!!! We lived like "locals"! Everything is just blocks away... We look forward to seeing the owners and the apartment next year.. Thanks for everything Priscilla and Robert!! Nicholas and Eydie from Texas

Stayed at the Downtown Guestroom which was only a 10 minute walk from Central Station and only the same amount of time from the city centre and best coffee shops. Perfect for a couple of mates, an actual couple, or even just for someone wanting to get away for the weekend. Most certainly going to rebooking when I go back to the Dam!

Excellent central location. Spacious and comfortable apartment, with well-equipped kitchen. I'd stay again!

Perfect located - every thing you want to see or experience is just around the corner or the tram ( also very close ) brings you in 5 - 10 Min. to all other places. Appartment was for me a littlebit small ( I´m 1.90 cm) but completely accepteable. Henk is a very nice host and you feel like having holiday from the first steep you make into the appartment.

The neighborhood was lovely, Hans was a gracious host but the apartment, though pleasant, was not cleaned properly before our arrival: crumbs on chairs, dust on surfaces, sink with food in stopper.
Innkeeper Response
Dear Sir, Madam, Many thanks for your comments: if you took your time to send us a feedback, it's because you care for the service we offer. I appreciate that I would like to apologize for the fact that the Mondriaan Apartment was not properly cleaned. We had already a meeting with the cleaning lady immediately after receiving your post in order to sort out the problem and I believe this won't happen again. Regards, Rui Bandeira

I stayed in a sousterrain in a very central location. Area was great, the owner extremely nice and kind, but be aware when you rent a sousterrain normally there is very little natural light and the place can smell of closed rooms. Is also normal in holland to have separate sink and toilet and shower, so dont be surprised if you find a basin in the cupboard!
Innkeeper Response
Thanks for your feedback :-) We cannot unfortunately change the Dutch architecture, but what concerns the smells of closed rooms, we have forwarded already a message to the owner of the apartment, The Artemis (we don't have many souterrain apartments), to sort out the problem. I am glad that this was not a real problem for a nice stay; otherwise you wouldn't have extended the period you have booked with us for 2 extra weeks. Regards, Rui Bandeira

Having rented apartments and houses in many cities abroad, we found the Het Lam apartment to be simply wonderful. The location in a residential section on one of Amsterdam's prettiest canals is perfect for exploring all of Amsterdam (now one of our favorite cities), with convenient access to the trams, many wonderful restaurants and excellent places to buy food. The apartment, located on the top two floors, is very bright, spacious and quiet (even during the 2008 European Soccer Cup, when the city was filled with fans), with some lovely antique furniture, chairs, tables and a couch below, comfortable furnishings in the bedrooms, a very workable kitchen and an eccentric but good washing machine. Onno, the owner, is charming and most helpful, as is the owner of the other apartment on the same floor. It is important to keep in mind that the flight of stairs to the apartment is long and steep, and the stairs to the bedrooms and bathrooms are steep without a handrail - not an apartment for anyone with mobility problems or young children but no problem otherwise. With that one caveat, we would highly recommend the apartment to anyone, and would certainly want to stay there for our next visit to Amsterdam.
Innkeeper Response
I thank your compliments in the name of Onno, who's a personal friend of mine. I am also happy that you and your family had a comfortable stay in Amsterdam. We are here to assist you in any circumstances :-)

Lovely, stilysh and cozy studio. Perfect for a romantic staying. Excelent localization, near (20 min walking) to Van Gogh museums. Elderlies must avoid due to the narrow steps, it's on the 3rd floor. It could be perfect, if there was any free space to oganize our clothes. Good value.
Innkeeper Response
Thanks for feedback. We have already forwarded a message to the owner of the studio in order to offer more space for clothes. About the famous 'Dutch stairs', we indeed don't recommend them to elderly or disable people.

Flatmates offers reliable and very friendly service. We were very impressed by the responsiveness of the service. Henk, who met us at the Studio, was a very gracious host. We truly enjoyed our stay. The apartment has great light, with window on two ends to catch Amsterdam's nice breezes. Everything was sper-clean and well taken care of! We've been to Amsterdam and stayed in apartmetns many times and this is right up there on our favorites list. Thanks Rui, thanks Henk!

Serve food directly from the lined slow cooker. Once your slow cooker cools, remove the liner and throw away for easy clean up.
In addition to tortilla chips, try scoopers such as pretzels, bread cubes or even carrot and celery sticks. This dip is also great spooned over tacos and nachos.
Just before serving, sprinkle the top of the dip with chopped fresh cilantro to add a dash of color and complement the flavors.

The annual meeting of Emery Telcom was held May 6 at Cleveland Elementary. Kendall Mortensen, President of the Board conducted the meeting. Mortensen thanked the members for attending the meeting and for supporting Emery Telcom. Following the opening remarks, prayer, and flag ceremony, Mortensen turned the meeting over to Brock Johansen, CEO/General Manager of the company for the officers reports.
Emery Telcom meets each year to give a status report on the company. Members are encouraged to attend the meetings to hear all the latest information concerning Emery Telcom. Emery Telcom feels it is very important for members to have a say in the company. One of the newest features of Emery Telcom is the local channel ETV10. Local programming and sporting events are broadcast on this channel. Public meetings and a cooking show are also part of the line-up.
Johansen explained that the annual reports had been filmed and started the video.
The theme of the report was that Emery Telcom is more than just the "Telephone Company." The video demonstrated that it is important to have a phone line because of the quality and because the phone lines are powered by Emery Telcom's system, so they will work in emergency situations. The members were encouraged to have a non portable, non cellular phone in their homes. The video then described how Emery Telcom has added numerous other products to its offerings.
In 2009, Emery Telcom purchased the cable television systems in Emery, Carbon, Grand, and San Juan counties. These cable television systems have been upgraded to deliver approximately 200 channels of television and music to the customers in Emery Telcom's area. In addition, Emery Telcom launched Interactive Television, which delivers a similar lineup of television channels across the phone lines. Both systems carry high definition channels and have DVR capabilities. These television products have been bundled with internet and telephone services to provide savings to customers and one easy bill, and start at $97.95 per month.
In 2009, Emery Telcom also purchased Top Line Computers. It integrated this with its existing products to become the largest computer and electronics dealer in Carbon and Emery counties, excluding Walmart. It also offers full technical and IT support for residents and all sizes of business.
Emery Telcom also announced that it is in the process of installing a cellular network in Emery and Carbon counties. Johansen explained that initially Emery Telcom will have 16 cellular sites in Emery and Carbon counties, which is more than double any other carrier in the area, so Emery Telcom should have the best and most reliable cellular service in Emery County. Emery Telcom has also contracted with national carriers to provide nationwide coverage. Johansen actually made a cellular call using the Emery Telcom network, but explained that it is in the testing stage and will be available later this year.
The video also provided a financial report, which demonstrated that the Company is very financially healthy. It also explained that Emery Telcom is concerned with making sure that its earnings are reinvested in the community or returned to the patrons.
Following the video officers' report, elections were held for the board positions in Elmo and Cleveland. Jed Jensen, the incumbent was the only applicant for the Cleveland board position, and was elected by acclamation. Tom Hansen, the incumbent; Shirley Coyne; and Doyle Jensen were running for the Elmo board position. Tom Hansen received a majority of the votes and remained the member of the board representing the Elmo District. Following the elections the meeting was adjourned. The members were encouraged to come and view Emery Telcom's television products, which were on display. Any member that agreed to sign up for such product at the annual meeting received a free month of television service. Emery Telcom has extended that offer until May 21 to anyone who mentions this article and signs up for television service from Emery Telcom in Carbon or Emery counties.

By PAUL YOUNGSt.George
Dear Editor,
In your Nov. 11, 2002 publication you printed a letter to the editor I submitted titled, "Come Up With a Plan in the Swell." In that letter to the editor I stated the environmentalists would pick their time and place. They would select a plant, an insect or a bug, you name it. But whatever they choose they will develop the environment around it.
As I wrote in my article an endangered species need not be an animal or fowl. It can be a bug or insect, trash weed will work just as well. They have started their move and they will not stop until every acre is locked away under the Endangered Species Act. And this will definitely and permanently close many roads in the San Rafael.
They have now located the Mussentuchit Gilia in 17 different locations on the western edge of the Swell. Now the question how many thousand acres are they going to request for each location.
I wonder if there is a person in Emery County that has the crust and guts to stand up and demand that the environ's point out each and every one of those 17 particular locations. Or could it be several patches in the same area only a few yards apart.
Steve Block of the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance states, "It is first and foremost about protecting Utah's natural heritage, a heritage that is at risk because of off-road vehicles and oil and gas development." The last four words of Block's comments causes me to wonder are the environmentalists working in collusion with terrorist organizations determined to make the United States 100 percent dependent on foreign oil.
The environmental groups have appealed virtually every oil and gas drilling lease that has been offered, regardless of its locations. They locked away the Kapairowitz Plateau, our last, largest oil, gas and coal deposit in Utah. And they have never once offered a place where they would allow drilling they would not appeal.
Is it their desire to make the United State 100 percent dependent on foreign oil? Then have the Mid-East stop their importing oil to us, which would bring the U.S. to it knees in a hurry. Is there a possibility we have a cabal correlated group working here? Environmentalists and terrorists in harmony one with the other for the destruction of the United States.
When you evaluate them together, they both hold the same feelings. They do not want the United States to be oil independent. They both hate self enterprise, industry, using our natural resources, freedom of travel, being self independent, virtually everything we love about being a free America, both groups in common hate us.

Comments: I bought these socks and my slap shot immediately improved, just kidding. These are cotton socks that attach easily to the velcro on your jock. The cotton is more breathable than the newer RBK Edge socks, which are polyester and trap more heat. You can also loosen the elastic on the bottom if you like to pull your socks over your shin guards. They will stretch over time to become longer, and they can be shrunk in the dryer to tighten up the fit. Overall more comfortable and more adaptable than polyester RBK Edge socks.

text: Trees is a major work that depicts the artist's garden. In its ravishing colour and radiating composition, it is a bold, thoroughly modern painting. Here domestic details of tennis court, tap, hose and bucket are set within the awe-inspiring presence of nature – the domesticated garden leading to the untamed bush. This work, which was shown in Cossington Smith's first solo exhibition at Grosvenor Galleries in 1928 was criticised by anti-modernist critics but was also much-admired by artists who recognised its great strength and vitality.

Science & Mathematics
The Museum's collections hold thousands of objects related to chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, and other sciences. Instruments range from early American telescopes to lasers. Rare glassware and other artifacts from the laboratory of Joseph Priestley, the discoverer of oxygen, are among the scientific treasures here. A Gilbert chemistry set of about 1937 and other objects testify to the pleasures of amateur science. Artifacts also help illuminate the social and political history of biology and the roles of women and minorities in science.
The mathematics collection holds artifacts from slide rules and flash cards to code-breaking equipment. More than 1,000 models demonstrate some of the problems and principles of mathematics, and 80 abstract paintings by illustrator and cartoonist Crockett Johnson show his visual interpretations of mathematical theorems.

The conference aims to explore the current conceptualizations of Europe and Europeanness and their expressions in a variety of discourses in/of/about Europe: national vs. international, institutionalized, media, as well as local/individual discourses of citizens. The goal of the conference is to provide an international forum for discussion along the following lines:
- 'Europeanness' in national discourses of the modern Europe: issues of regional, national and international identity; defining and redefining identity over time; evolution of European identity in the face of national and international developments; evolution of European mind-set within/across different cultural contexts and historical backgrounds
- Locality and globality in the discourse of the Euroland: defining locality and globality in economic, cultural and political terms; factors/criteria determining perception of Europe's center and periphery; individual and local freedoms in the context of international relations and institutions; homogeneity and heterogeneity of European cultural legacy as factors affecting the sense of socio-cultural belonging at local/global levels; construction of values as (negotiated) indicators of belonging at the national vs. EU level
- Discourses of Europe in 'old' and 'new' member countries of the EU: construals of the EU and its current members in countries differing with regard to the length of EU membership; highlighting vs. downplaying differences (demographic, social, cultural, political, axiological) between 'old' and 'new' members; cross-border relations between 'old' and 'new' member countries; regional partnership programs as potential assimilation triggers
- Exclusionary and inclusionary discourses of Europe; constructions of 'US' and 'THEM' in political/public discourse: defining the US vs. THEM divide/dichotomy/opposition from synchronic and diachronic perspectives; evolution of 'contents' of 'US/THEM containers' over time; issues of conceptual proximity and distance to/from the European 'US/THEM' expressed in current discourses in/about Ukraine, Greece, Turkey and the UK
- Issues of race, immigration, and xenophobia in European national discourses: construals of tolerance and rejection; discourse legitimation of ethnic, cultural, religious, etc. disparities; interculturality and cultural plurality as determinants of public policies at national and international levels; social assimilation/dissimilation of economic migrants; rise of socio-political enclaves; public policies fostering/resisting influx of minority groups

Ecchi-The Japanese pronounciation of the letter "H"
the H represents the word Hentai(pervert) or the desire to look at/do dirty things.
To DO "H" means to have sex
But the foreigners have perscribed Ecchi and Hentai as two different things even tho they mean the same word.
Ecchi is equivalent to girls wearing very revealing clothers (but not all the way, as in u can't see lower body area) or in erotic poses
Hentai is actually letting ppl see the lower body area and maybe even have *ahem* a "rod" or two stuck in... (pardon my language kiddies)
That's about all I know XD
I want to join!
You don't need to know anything, you just need to post up pics and what not
Which I shall edit into all my posts when I can.
Why don't more people read these mangas?
which of the ranks do you guys/gals want? :o
I want to join, I want a special rank.
Mister_Death, what special rank...
only special ranks left are,

Changes are likely coming to the Jets if (when) another season ends without a playoff berth. Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News shed some light during Thursdays PFT Live on what could happen.
Mehta firmly believes that coach Rex Ryan will be back for a fifth season. So what about G.M. Mike Tannenbaum, who presumably is ultimately responsible for an actual or perceived lack of talent?
Mehta believes that Tannenbaum, who like Ryan is under contract for two more years, will be reassigned. Which is a kind way of saying demoted.
It wouldnt be unprecedented. When Tannenbaum became the General Manager, the teams former G.M., Terry Bradway, was reassigned. Which was a kind way of saying demoted.
If Mehtas presumably educated hunch is accurate, it means that the team would need a new G.M., possibly someone with a background in scouting.
Itll be interesting to see how it all plays out. And it was interesting to hear for the first time the possibility that both Ryan and Tannenbaum will stay, but that Tannebaums job duties will change.
You can hear it for yourself by checking out the segment from Thursdays PFT Live.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports Writer
The Emery High Spartans are looking for answers as they prepare to play the Pine View Panthers Oct. 30 in the first round of state play-offs.
The Spartans finished fourth in the region after last week's 35-0 loss in the rain and mud at Emery High School against the Lehi Pioneers.
Delta, North Sanpete and Lehi tied for the region championship as they each defeated Emery and Carbon this season and then Delta beat Lehi and Lehi beat North Sanpete and North Sanpete beat Delta last week.
Delta won the coin flip for the first place seed and will host Dixie. Lehi won the next flip and will host Snow Canyon. The Hawks travel to Cedar City.
In Emery's loss to Lehi, the Spartans never were able to get anything going, as they were limited to only 47 yards of offense in the slippery game. Lehi's Tyler Thompson must have brought the right shoes this night, as he was the only one able to move in the muck. He rushed for 247 yards and four touchdowns.
The game for Emery is Saturday in St George at the Dixie college field just off the freeway. Game time is 1 pm.

Lin and Harden are now producing dividends; Orlando is bouncing back after getting rid of Howard; more in LeBron's greatness, Wizards can't buy a break; top teams, MVP and rookies; my favorites of '12
One month into the 2012-13 NBA season, the James Harden-Jeremy Lin backcourt for the Houston Rockets sputtered.
It reached a point where some analysts suggested the Rockets might be better off bringing Lin off the bench. At $8.3 million perseason, that was one expensive backup point guard.
There were traditional and advanced statistics to prove Harden and Lin weren't clicking. In the first month of the season:
- The Rockets scored 102.8 points per 100 possessions, allowed 102.7 points per 100 possessions, shot 43.6% from the field, including 35.2% on three-pointers, and averaged 97.75 possessions per every 48 minutes.
- With Lin on the bench, the Rockets averaged 103.9 points per 100 possessions, allowed 100.8 points per 100 possessions and shot 42.5% from the field. With Lin on the court, Houston averaged 102.4 points per 100 possessions, allowed 103.5 points per 100 possessions and shot 44% from the field.
- With Lin and Harden on the court at the same time, the Rockets averaged 102.5 points per 100 possessions, allowed 104.2 points per 100 possessions and Harden was a minus-3. With Lin on the bench and Harden on the court, the Rockets averaged 104.9 points per 100 possessions, allowed 96.3 points per 100 possessions and Harden was a plus-20.
Now, 15 games is a small sample size for sure, but the early returns suggested Lin and Harden weren't the dynamic combo the Rockets expected.
But beyond a small sample, a series of other factors were neglected. Harden was acquired just before the start of the regular season and didn't have a training camp to work with Lin and his new teammates. Lin was in his first season as the known starter headed into Game 1 and was learning a new offense with new teammates on a very young team. Houston's opening-night starting five included Harden (fourth season), Lin (third season), Omer Asik (third season), Marcus Morris (second season) and Chandler Parsons (second season).
Rockets coach Kevin McHale understood it required time and patience, with patience being the most trying part.
"Until the team really understands how you play – every team has a style and a lot of teams are trying to find that style – but once you find out what works, you have to be dedicated to doing it," McHale said. "I liken back to Houston and the old Hakeem Olajuwon days. The team didn't one day all of sudden say, 'We're never going to throw the ball to Hakeem tonight. We're going to ice him out. We're going to come down shot jumpers.' They threw the ball to him every single time because that was their style.
"Our style has to be ball movement, moving the ball side to side. You're going to have turnovers the way we play. We just can't be throwing the ball to the other team. ... But we have to play our style."
When the Rockets didn't play well, he pinpointed the reasons.
"The ball was too sticky on offense, too many mistakes defensively. … There's a lot of teams in the league that are young, asking the same question," McHale said. "A lot of guys are searching for themselves, trying to figure out who they are. When you pass all of that, it just makes it easier to play basketball. There are times when guys are searching for their offense. The ball gets sticky. Guys are looking to say, 'Hey, I have to get off.' "
However, in December – the second month of the season – signs appeared that Lin and Harden can make it work as they found a better balance between who had the ball and their attacking natures. Lin likes to attack with finesse and the idea that he can pass to open shooters on the perimeter. Harden likes to attack with force and draw fouls.
Take a look at some of the numbers in December:
- The Rockets averaged 106 points per 100 possessions, allowed 104.5 points per 100 possessions, shot 46.8% from the field and had 101.19 possessions per 48 minutes. The pace picked up, the scoring increased, the shooting percentage increased and the defense allowed a few more points but the net margin between points scored and points allowed was much better in December.
- With Lin on the court, the Rockets averaged 106.2 points per 100 possessions, allowed 102.3 points per 100 possessions and shot 48.1% from the field. With Lin on the bench, Houston scored 105.7 points per 100 possessions, allowed 108.4 points per 100 possessions and shot 44.7% from the field.
- With Lin and Harden on the court together, the Rockets averaged 106.8 points per 100 possessions, allowed 101.1 points per 100 possessions and Harden was a plus-54. With Lin on the bench and Harden on the court, Houston averaged 108.4 points per 100 possessions and allowed 110.2 points per 100 possessions and Harden was a minus-1.
Again, that's a small sample size – 16 games in December for a 10-6 record with victories against the Utah Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Philadelphia 76ers, Memphis Grizzlies, Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves and Atlanta Hawks. But it's a sample size that proves it can and does work.
"For us to be successful, we've got to move the ball and we've got to move our bodies. … Regardless of who we play, we've just got to attack and move the ball," McHale said. "We have a style that we have to play which is up and down and ball movement.
"We're all getting to know each other a little bit. We have a really young team, and we haven't been together that long. … As a team, we have to find our footing."
In a recent victory, Harden had 28 points and five rebounds and Lin had 16 points, eight assists, four rebounds and four steals. In another recent victory, Harden had 26 points, six assists and five rebounds and Lin had 20 points and 11 assists. In Lin's return to New York to play the Knicks, he had 22 points and eight assists, and Harden had 28 points and 10 rebounds.
"It's a good example of what we can do," Lin said.
Magic rebounding quicker than expected
Forget about the Orlando Magic's six-game losing streak. Forget about the shorthanded, injury-riddled Magic's three consecutive turnovers at the end of their overtime loss to the Miami Heat.
Despite a 12-19 record, the Magic are headed in the right direction under new general manager Rob Hennigan and first-year coach Jacque Vaughn – with everyone within the organization understanding Orlando will have its share of lows while rebuilding in the post-Dwight Howard era.
Signs exist that Orlando has the right people in place, both in the front office and on the bench, to rebound quicker than expected after trading Howard to the Los Angeles Lakers for young players, draft picks and salary-cap flexibility.
Two weeks ago, the Magic were 12-13, in ninth place in the Eastern Conference (a game behind the Brooklyn Nets for the eighth spot) and boasting impressive wins against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets.
But forward Glen Davis sustained a sprained left shoulder in Orlando's 90-83 victory against the Washington Wizards, and he hasn't played since. And, the Magic haven't won since.
"It's been a new territory for us as far as having different personnel on the floor finishing games, and hopefully we're more comfortable with that and what we want to accomplish at the end of games," Vaughn said. "Hopefully, it puts us in a more familiar and more comfortable place. We've got some work to do but a lot of good things have come out these games even though we lost. It's up to us to use it and build on it."
Some of Orlando's moderate success begins with Hennigan, who has made wise front-office decisions based on what's best for the franchise long-term rather than what popular opinion suggested. During the summer with many letting Hennigan know that a straight-up trade – Howard for Andrew Bynum – was the best was to get something in return for Howard, Hennigan remained patient.
The Magic didn't want Bynum for a variety of seasons – mainly his persistent knee injuries (Bynum hasn't played for the Philadelphia 76ers yet this season) and the fact that Orlando wasn't sure it could keep Bynum when his contract expires after this season.
So, Hennigan still traded Howard, and acquired guard-forward Arron Afflalo, center Nikola Vucevic, Maurice Harkless, draft picks and salary-cap flexibility moving forward. Vucevic just had a 29-rebound game, better than anyone in team history, which includes Howard and Shaquille O'Neal.
The melding of veterans (Afflalo, Davis, Jameer Nelson, J.J. Redick and Hedo Turkoglu) and young players has given Orlando much more optimism.
"They have some really good players and some pretty good pieces," Heat forward LeBron James told reporters.
Hennigan was on Oklahoma City Thunder GM Sam Presti's staff and graduated from the same school as Presti, Emerson College in Boston. While Hennigan is not a clone of Presti, just as Presti is not as clone of R.C. Buford in San Antonio, the San Antonio Spurs Way continues to permeate the NBA. The MO is not easily duplicated, but executives such as Presti and Hennigan have inside knowledge of what makes a franchise successful long term.
Give Hennigan credit for hiring Vaughn, too, who has proven to be an effective offensive and defensive coach in short time after two years as an assistant with the Spurs. One of a young coach's biggest challenges is getting players to buy in, and Magic players have bought in to Vaughn's style and system and play hard for him.
"Overall, we've gotten better," Vaughn said. "That was the goal and the mission setting out the first game of the year. Defensively, we've been pretty sound throughout the course of the year. Offensively, we've gotten better and we'll continue to get better."
Now, the Magic have plenty of work on offense and defense, and they are still several players away from returning to one of the Eastern Conference's best teams.
"Expectations-wise, we never put a number on how many wins or losses we were going to have," Vaughn said. "Really, it was an overall message of us getting better and creating an atmosphere where that's our approach every day. That will lead to success, and for me, that's been the consistent message and I won't stray away from that.
"I won't talk about wins and losses too often and what our record is. I'm quite sure I haven't mentioned it or anything of that nature to our guys. That's not my nature. But I want us to play better than we did last game. That's really how simple I try to keep it.
"I would say I am pleased with our progress."
James on an impressive scoring streak
Miami Heat forward LeBron James may or may not win the MVP this season. Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant is right there, and James knows that.
But what James is doing game in, game out continues to astound. Regardless of who wins MVP for one season, James is still the best player in the world.
After his 36-point performance in Miami's 112-110 overtime win vs. the Orlando Magic on New Year's Eve, James has started the season with at least 20 points in 29 consecutive games.
The record for most games of at least 20 points to start a season is 45 games, set by George Gervin in 1981-82, followed by James, who just passed Kevin McHale (28 consecutive games in 1986-87) and Karl Malone (24 consecutive games in 1989-90).
Vesely struggling for struggling Wizards
The Washington Wizards wanted a big man in the 2011 draft, so they selected 6-11 forward Jan Vesely from the Czech Republic.
Here are other forwards/centers in the first and second rounds the Wizards could have selected: Bismack Biyombo, Marcus Morris, Kawhi Leonard, Nic Vucevic, Tobias Harris, Kenneth Faried and Chandler Parsons – all of whom have had more success to one degree or another than Vesely, the No. 6 pick in the draft.
Vesely is turning out to be a lost draft pick for the Wizards who are struggling with a league-worst 4-25 record. Vesely is active defensively and on the glass and runs the floor well, but a team needs more than that from a No. 6 pick.
A third of the way into his second season, Vesely has shown little sign of improvement, falling in and out of Wizards coach Randy Wittman's rotation because of inconsistency. Wittman has gone games without using Vesely, who is averaging 2.2 points, 2.4 rebounds and shooting 41.5% from the field and shooting 23.8% on free throws in 13.1 minutes per game in 22 appearances.
He has not scored in double figures this season, and has played in eight games where he did not score a point. His shot needs considerable work.
In Washington's 103-94 loss to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, Mavericks forward Dirk Nowitzki, still trying to get in game shape and rediscover his offense after October knee surgery, torched Vesely. It's not easy to guard Nowitzki, not even for the best defenders in the league. But with Vesely guarding Nowitzki, the future Hall of Famer made 4-of-5 shots and abused Vesely with his patented jumper. Even with Nowitzki at 75%, Vesely didn't have a chance.
Wittman told reporters pregame that they needed to ask Vesely if he was playing with confidence. "Confidence always plays a part of it. I can't speak for him. That's something you have to ask him – if he's playing with confidence," Wittman said. "There are times he doesn't, and it does hurt his aggression when he's on the floor. That's why there's fluctuation and inconsistency mixed in with that. He's got to be a factor on the floor."
Storytime with Stotts
Portland Trail Blazers coach Terry Stotts explained that he needs forward Nicolas Batum to remain active when plays aren't called for him. "With the great ones, the ball finds you when you stay engaged and stay aggressive."
The ball finds you? What is this, some of kind of new-age basketball philosophy? OK, we get Stotts' point, but it seems like a bit of a nebulous theory. Until Stotts told this story:
"Someone told me, this goes way back to Bernard King … one of Bernard's teammates was complaining that (then-New York Knicks coach) Hubie Brown ran all the plays for Bernard King," Stotts said. "Bernard told Hubie, 'Hey, don't call a play for me' and he still scored 40.
"There has to be a trust involved, a trust with me and with his teammates. I just know that it's happened before. … There's a certain way that your teammates look for you, the ball gets moved around and your opportunities come if you're ready for them and you stayed engaged. It's part of experience as well. Nic has an opportunity this year that he hasn't had in past years because of the team dynamics and he's in a position every night to take advantage of that."

Memorable performances
Top five performances I watched in person in 2012:
1. Heat forward LeBron James' 45 points, 15 rebounds and five assists in Miami's 98-79 vs. the Boston Celtics in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. Given the incredible year James had – NBA MVP, NBA champion, Finals MVP and Olympic gold medalist – he could have two, three other games in this top five.
2. Celtics guard Rajon Rondo's 44 points, 10 assists and eight rebounds in Boston's 115-111 overtime loss to the Heat in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals.
3. Carmelo Anthony's 37 points in 14 minutes – including 10-of-12 on three-pointers! – in Team USA's 156-73 victory against Nigeria in the London Olympics. It was a single-game U.S. Olympic scoring record, and he scored 18 points in three minutes, 38 seconds in an impressive stretch in the second half.
4. Kevin Durant's 28 points in 22 minutes, including 8-of-10 on three-pointers, in Team USA's 126-97 victory against Argentina in the London Olympics.
5. Heat forward Mike Miller's 23 points, including 7-of-8 on three-pointers, in Miami's title-clinching 121-106 victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of the Finals.
