Discussion in '2008 Playoffs' started by max, Apr 22, 2008.
1st Round Boston vs Atlanta
So Mike Bibby is calling out Boston for being filled with bandwagon-a$% cats: I understand that pro athletes expect support from their fans even when their team isn't good, but this is obviously going too far. Why should anyone be surprised that Celtics fans weren't showing up the last few years, and that some of them had bags on their heads? That team was disgracefully bad for each of the past two seasons. You can't honestly expect anyone's fans to get excited for the crap that team was putting out there. Like in the (wildly unlikely) event that the Knicks get a whole lot better all of a sudden, how could anyone criticize their fans for not having stuck by them in recent times?
Bibby is just playing mind games. I like it. The game needs some more of this trash talk and rivalry. I dislike seeing Sheed blow kisses at the competition. To hell with Boston. And Atlanta.
It doesn't really matter what Bibby says in this series, since his team obviously has no chance at all. I can appreciate some trash talk, but the mindset behind his comments goes too far in the "you fans need to root for us no matter what we do, or else you're just bandwagon jumpers" direction. Pro athletes who feel that entitled are harder to root for, IMO. Fans of crappy teams have no other leverage to demand improvement outside of criticizing or withholding their support in some way.
I agree, it should be a bit heated in the post-season. Like our old Pacer, Miami and NJ series used to be like.
I just think it's kind of lame to go after another team's fans for something like that. There's plenty of stuff to say about the Celtics themselves, like that moronic jersey-popping nonsense, so stick with that and leave the fans out of it.
What exactly does the "jersey popping" represent? I don't get it?
Here's an article I just found about college players doing it, from a couple of years ago: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/03/22/sports/ncaabasketball/22uniforms.html Oddly enough, the article predicted that the trend would not migrate up to the NBA, but this year's Celtics didn't get the memo.
GOD BLESS ATLANTA! Up over 10 in the 4th of Game 3. Giving the Celtics all they can handle. GO HAWKS!
Boston looks tired. Fatigued leg syndrome?
I heard Doc Rivers talked to Flip Saunders on the phone last night and Flip gave Doc a few tips.
This is a little random, but i just saw a replay of the gesture that PP gave the ATL bench after the whole Al Horford thing, and i'm almost positive thats the bloods sign (don't ask me how i know LOL). WTH?!
replays on espn news
uh...yea thats what it appeared to be
However, his other fingers appear to be spread out. That would mean the opposite. Go figure.
A number one seed loses to a number 8 seed. I wonder if Boston fans are calling for the head of Doc Rivers and demanding that management blow up the team?
Hell no...they're just happy to be back in the playoffs again. Detroit fans hold the Pistons to a much higher standard and we've been disappointed for 3 years running.
wouldn't a few other negative things have to occur in order for there to be any real correlation between the current Pistons and the Current Celtics?
The sign of a good team/coach Doc calls out his players in the post game for playing "me" ball and not "team" ball. He said that all the players were trying to win the game themselves and not as a team.... So at the same time telling them they needed to work as a team he also gave players props for trying to win. So he gets his point across without losing the team.
win/lose/draw josh smith and josh childress are showing me something. i've always viewed both of them as talented losers that would never 'get it'. ncaa tournament and playoff basketball are both a key ingredient to development.

Home > News & Events > News > Articles > Assistant Professor Joe Aldy examines the true costs of fossil fuel subsidies
Hundreds of billions of dollars in the developing world are funding subsidies for fossil fuel energy, including petroleum, electricity, and natural gas. Joseph Aldy, assistant professor of public policy, is currently research the economic and environmental impacts of these subsidies. He presented a snapshot of his latest research during an Energy Policy Seminar on Monday (March 25).
As Aldy explained, fossil fuel subsidies often take the form of price controls, with governments stepping in to absorb or to make up for lost revenues. Often, the largest subsidy programs are found in oil exporting countries. In some cases, the increased oil demand resulting from subsidies has turned former net oil exporting countries into oil importers. The amount of money attributed to oil subsidies can be significant, Aldy said. In the most extreme cases, the value of subsidies can reach 30% of GDP, with expenditures on such programs claiming up to 20% of government budgets.
These subsidies, which are estimated to have a significant impact on increasing the consumption of energy, have recently become the focus of international "phase out" efforts. It is estimated that a successful phase-out of these subsidies could lead to roughly a 4% decline in world energy demand, Aldy explained, with corresponding reductions in emissions of carbon and other pollutants. However, these subsidies can be difficult to reduce for a number of reasons: they are seen as a way of helping low-income people by keeping energy costs low, or as a way of letting all residents of oil-producing countries access some of the benefits of oil revenues, or as a way of supporting social and political stability.
Aldy noted that while support for low-income people is often cited as a reason for such policies, the reality is that most of the monetary benefits of these policies accrue to the well-off. He presented his ongoing research on several approaches to better understanding the environmental and public finance implications of these subsidies. One set of findings comes from a close look at the experience of Indonesia, where two failed attempts to reduce petroleum subsidies were succeeded by a successful attempt on 2005, which resulted in roughly a doubling of the price of gasoline and diesel and a tripling of the price of kerosene. (This was accompanied by a cash transfer to low income households.) In what appears to be a response to this change, Indonesia saw a 13% decline in oil consumption and a 21% decline in CO2 emissions, an effect that is even more significant when it is put in the context of baseline forecasts of steady increases.
As another approach to understanding the impact of subsidies, Aldy is working to gather multi-country, multi-year data to analyze a potential relationship between government expenditures on public health and subsidies of fossil fuels. His analysis so far suggests that there is in fact a trade-off being made which governments may not currently recognize—as more is spent on subsidies, less tends to be spent on public health, further complicating the relationship between fossil fuel subsidies and support for low-income households.
Aldy spoke as part of the Energy Policy Seminar Series, which is jointly sponsored by the Energy Technology Innovation Policy research group of the Belfer Center on Science and International Affairs and the Consortium for Energy Policy Research at the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government.

So I bought a used 1994 wingmaster magnum a little while back....
I called remington before I bought it and gave them the serial number to find this out.
My question is..... Is it rare at all or common to have remington mis stamp a barrel.
They said when I called it was originally built with a 26 in light contour barrel. It is in fact a 26 in light contour barrel but is stamped 28 in. Just curious if this happened often or if this affects the value in the future.
Thanks in advance.

First, I have apologized previously for my lack of response here and for my lack of interaction as well as my total lack of response to PMs. Since I took on the RPF it has totally consumed me, but we are finally as a point where I hope to be able to spread myself around a bit more evenly. I have spent the last little bit answering over 160 unanswered PMs, some going back as far as a year!
I apologize to those of you I didn't respond to more quickly and will endeavor to do better in the future.
Thank you all for your patience. We have a lot of new and exciting things coming down the road! Can't wait to share them with you!

Tungsten Wedding Bands
Why Tungsten Rings Online?
Here at TungstenRingsOnline.com we take pride in the quality of tungsten carbide rings that we provide our customers. Tungsten wedding bands are quickly becoming the most popular metal in wedding bands today. We test all of the tungsten rings we sell on our site. We make sure that there is only a nickel binder in them. Some companies try to cut corners and sell you a tungsten ring that contains cobalt. Cobalt can be a great material, but when it is mixed with tungsten it has terrible results. It makes the ring oxidize and change color and most of the time it will irritate your skin.
Tungsten has a great history. It was first identified as an element way back in 1781. The meaning of the word tungsten is heavy stone. As you could probably guess tungsten rings are much heavier than other types of metals. This unique attribute of tungsten allows it to be one of the most scratch resistant rings on the market. It is one of the more popular metals used for wedding bands today. Ten years ago there were very few tungsten rings used as wedding bands. In fact this web site was one of the first sites dedicated to selling only tungsten wedding bands. We have evolved with the market and offer a great selection of alternative metal bands.
Tungsten is still our most popular type of metal. We have added cobalt, titanium and ceramic. There are a few new metals that we are going to add in the future. The newest metal that is just now hitting the market is called Vitalium. It is white like cobalt but is scratch resistant similar to tungsten. We are working with a manufacturer that has produced many great designs with this new metal.
Tungsten Rings Online has a large selection of tungsten and if you do not see what you are looking for you can contact us and we can probably have it made. We can custom make any size tungsten ring. The turnaround time is usually two weeks on a completely custom tungsten band. We offer many tungsten rings with inlays.We can do a precious metal inlay. Most of our inlays are there to contrast the look of a plain tungsten ring. We do a lot of ceramic or zirconium inlays.These are popular and look very unique. One of the newest trends is camouflage used as a design for a wedding band. We have a few designs on hand but we are working to expand our camo collection.
Are your tungsten rings hypoallergenic?
We are often asked if our tungsten rings are hypoallergenic.Like other materials used for wedding bands tungsten is an alloy. An alloy means that there are at least two different metals, so almost all gold jewelry is an alloy. So, just like gold and other metals used in jewelry, tungsten is an alloy. We use a nickel binder in all of our tungsten rings.Unfortunately, nickel is the most common metal allergy in the world. If you are allergic to nickel there is a good chance the wearing a tungsten ring will irritate your skin. We have other metals like cobalt or titanium that might work better for you.
What are the most popular styles?
The most popular styles of tungsten rings are actually the basic designs. In fact over the nearly decade we have been selling wedding bands the most popular design has been our 6mm dome style ring. Followed by the 8mm dome style and then the flat or pipe fit style rings. Most people that come into our store like to look at the many unique styles but when it comes down to them choosing a ring that they will be wearing for the rest of their lives they usually choose the basic style ring.

I spread a little very good extra-virgin olive oil on the top of the hummus, but you can omit that if you wish. You can also serve hummus like this in the Middle Eastern fashion, spread out on a plate or platter-- it's easier to share that way!
Actually, this recipe not new anymore, since I developed it in the summer for the McDougall Celebrity Weekend. But, I never got around to sharing it on my blog. So now I am!
Most versions of this popular Middle Eastern chickpea dip are chock-full of olive oil and too much sesame tahini. I have been making low-fat hummus for many years, but, for the McDougall weekend, I wanted to make the best-tasting, creamiest hummus possible! I consulted Cook's Illustrated May 2008 issue, which had a feature on making hummus, but of course with olive oil added and far more tahini than I was willing to use. I adjusted my familiar seasoning a little and combined their emulsion method with my "hot chickpea" method, except that, since I was not mixing the tahini with oil, I warmed the tahini first to make it more "pourable".
My new improved recipe contains just a little tahini, but it's truly creamy and rich-tasting, due to good ingredients, more flavor, and a couple of new techniques.
Guests and family, as well as the McDougall participants, seemed very impressed by this recipe, and I have been known to even eat it for breakfast! It's a great spread to have around for snacks, and it's far better (and cheaper) than any store bought hummus that you can buy! Try some of the variations below the recipe.
Printable Recipe
Yield: about 2 2/3 cups
Quality ingredients are essential to good-tasting, creamy hummus, especially when you aren't adding alot of tahini and olive oil to it. A food processor is also essential to get the right texture.
2 cups well-cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans), or canned (a 19 ounce can), drained (see Cooking Tips below for recommended brands of canned)
(NOTE: If using canned, drain them and rinse under tap water in a colander.)
1/4 cup lemon juice, preferably freshly-squeezed (or Santa Cruz Organic bottled)
2 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
3/4-1 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sesame tahini (see Cooking Tips below for recommended brands)
Possible garnishes:
paprika or smoked paprika (pimenton-- mild or hot)
chopped fresh parsley, mint or cilantro
chopped green onions
toasted pine nuts or almonds
grated organic lemon zest
NOTE: It is important to use hot or very warm chickpeas in this recipe-- it is one of the secrets to making creamy hummous!
If possible, use freshly-cooked chickpeas straight from the pot. If that is not possible, re-warm home-cooked chickpeas or canned (rinsed and drained) chickpeas by heating them, covered in water or their cooking broth, if they are home-cooked (do NOT use the canned liquid!) in a pot or in the microwave until they are hot through. Then drain them again.
Place the hot chickpeas in a food processor with all of the ingredients EXCEPT the tahini. Process until it is very smooth. Stop the machine, but don't remove the mixture yet!
Another important step to increase creaminess is to heat the tahini a little and add it at the end to create a sort of emulsion.
Place the tahini in a small cup or ramekin and heat it either by 1.) microwaving for 1 minute at 25% power, or 2.) placing the cup in a pan of hot water and heating it in simmering water until the tahini is warm and more liquid. (You can also use a egg poacher to warm the tahini over water.)
Now, start the food processor running again, and remove the pusher from the tube in the lid. Slowly drizzle the warm tahini into the whirling mixture, scraping all of it out with a small spatula. Process for another 30 seconds or so.
If the mixture seems too thick (remember that it thickens up as it cools), you may add a tablespoon or so of water, 1 teaspoon at a time. taste for salt. The garlic flavor will be stronger after the hummus sits for a while.
Place in a serving bowl or spread on a plate, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until serving time.
Serve with raw veggies and wedges of sprouted wheat pita bread, sourdough bread, or fat-free dark rye crisps.

Green Hummus
Increase the salt to 1- 1 1/2 teaspoons, the cumin to 1 teaspoon, and the cayenne to 1/4 teaspoon. After the hummus has been blended smooth, add 10 oz. frozen spinach, kale, chard or collard greens, thawed, squeezed as dry as possible, and chopped and process again briefly to mix.
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Make the Plain Hummus variation, adding 1/2 cup drained, rinsed roasted red pepper from a jar when you process the chickpea mixture.
Roasted Garlic Hummus (garlic flavor mellows and sweetens when roasted)
Omit the raw garlic from the recipe and, instead, add 3 medium heads of roasted garlic (see Cooking Tips below), squeezing it out of the skins into the food processor. OR you can use about 24 cloves of roasted garlic from a jar.
Smoked Paprika Hummus (one of my favorites!)
Omit cumin and use 1 teaspoon mild or hot smoked paprika (pimenton).
Artichoke Hummus
When the hummus is finished, add 1 cup of marinated artichoke hearts, rinsed under hot water, patted dry, and chopped, and 1/2 teaspoon grated organic lemon zest. Pulse just to mix. If you prefer, omit the cumin from this variation.
Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus:
Add 1/4 cup chopped dried tomatoes which have been soaked in hot water until softened, then drained. You can add them at the beginning of processing, or at the end, depending on the texture you desire.
Cooking Tips
Cooks Illustrated Magazine recommends the following brands of tahini and canned chickpeas. I use home-cooked chickpeas (sometimes frozen, thawed, and warmed-up), and Krinos or Cortas tahini.
Joyva Sesame Tahini
Krinos Tahini
Arrowhead Mills Organic Sesame Tahini
Alma Sesame Tahini
Cortas Tahina
Eden Organic
Slice the top pointed end off the whole head of garlic to expose the tops of the cloves. Place head (s) of garlic on aluminum foil and wrap tightly. Place in a small pan.
Bake alongside whatever you have cooking in the oven, or in a toaster oven at 375 degrees F to 400 degrees F for 40-60 minutes, until the garlic is soft.
Roasted garlic can be, stored, well wrapped, in the refrigerator for several days. It can be added to salad dressing for a creamy texture and deep flavor, or used as a spread on bread.

Gee I wish I had this recipe when I made my Stuffed artichoke bottoms. Seems like it would have made a little thicker hummus, next time for sure! I used the Pastene.com Chickpeas. Seems they have a lot of vegan friendly foods.

Thanks for sharing this and especially the techniques. I guess that it's what I usually do since I make my own beans in the pressure cooker and they are usually fall-apart soft and hot when I process them. I hadn't thought to heat the tahini.
There is also a wonderful raw tahini (expensive, though) by Artisana.
Keep up the great work. And it was nice to meet you at the McDougall weekend. I wish that I'd had a chance to taste your hummus.

OMG, after years of making what I thought was great Hummus, you have shown me the error of my ways... :)
What a wiz you are to think of the warm ingredients. Yes, it makes a world of difference!
Awesome and yummy.

How funny, I just tried making hummus two nights ago with basically your same recipe, but I was not happy with the results. My chickpeas were home cooked, so I had high hopes. But it wasn't creamy enough and my husband wasn't crazy about it, even though he loves the Trader Joe's hummus we usually buy. I'm guessing that heating the ingredients is the trick? I'm going to give it another try tomorrow.

I am salivating over this hummus right now. Heating definitely seems to be the trick. I topped with smoked paprkia and it's really tasty!

I have been overwhelmed with work and as a student taking classes, so eating is on the run except for today. I am snowed in and schools were closed (yeah!) so I get to ndulge in a day of yummy cooking. I made your salami and ketchup. This hummous looks good ... now off I go to my kitchen to make some.
I send you immunity thoughts so you can fight off the dreaded cold. :)
- Tue Dec 09, 06:18:00 PM PST
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
So nice to hear from you, Dori! A snowed-in day is a nice break sometimes, isn't it? My cold wasn't too bad-- a bit of a loose cough, but it never went into my head.
I hope you enjoyed all the recipes you tried! I miss your kitchen wisdom! All the best to you and your over the holidays!

I am allergic to sesame, and therefore tahini. Would I be able to leave it out? Is there something else I could substitute for it? Thanks!
- Mon Feb 09, 11:36:00 AM PST
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
runroamrecycle, tahini has a very distinctive taste, not a bland as most nuts and seeds, but some people use hemp butter in hummous.
- Mon Feb 09, 01:05:00 PM PST
- Rachael said...
I have been making my own hummus for a while but am concerned about the oil too. I am going to try the hot method. question: I don't use tahini at all. I just don't like it. I do use a good bit of raw garlic in mine. Is there anything else I can use to help with the emulsion, or perhaps I can use a small dose of olive oil (instead of the obscene amounts I have had to use to get it to go smooth)? Any suggestions? Thanks!
- Fri Aug 14, 06:57:00 AM PDT
- Bryanna Clark Grogan said...
Rachael, try it using olive oil instead of tahini. You could also try it with almond butter or something like that that you like the taste of. Actually, I've made it with hemp butter before and it was pretty good!
- Fri Aug 14, 07:13:00 AM PDT
This sounds like a great recipe. I have not tried warming the beans and tahini, but this makes sense.
I read in another blog about adding an ice cube as you are processing the hummus to make it creamier. It worked with other hummus recipes.

Watertown, Mass. – Junior Mitch McCrank netted a hat trick and senior netminder Tony Capobianco stopped 38 shots to lead the seventh-seeded Canisius College hockey team to a 3-2 victory and 2-1 series win against second-seeded Bentley on Sunday night in the Atlantic Hockey Quarterfinals. The defending league champions, the Griffs now advance to the semifinals for the second-straight season with a 16-20-3 record. Bentley finishes the year with a 19-14-4 mark.
"Our physical play from the first puck drop on Friday to the final horn on Sunday was the ultimate difference in a really close weekend," said Canisius head coach Dave Smith. "Both teams had opportunities to win the series in two games but I'm proud of our effort to earn the win in three against a very good Bentley team. Our depth, physical play and goaltending were the difference in the weekend."
The win did not come easy as for the third-straight night, Bentley netted the game's first goal when Brett Gensler scored with 8:56 remaining in the first. Gensler knocked in a rebound one second after a Falcons power play expired for the 1-0 lead.
The Griffs, however, would answer right back with McCrank's fifth goal of the season just 52 seconds later. The junior won a faceoff back to senior defender Ben Danford, who fired the puck toward net. The shot was blocked in the right face-off circle but McCrank corralled the loose puck and sent it in for the 1-1 game.
The Falcons reclaimed their lead with 1:55 remaining in the opening frame, once again taking advantage on the power play. Alex Grieve knocked the puck in on the back door for the 2-1 edge through 20 minutes of action.
Canisius answered early in the second frame, taking advantage of a power play of its own. Junior defender Doug Jessey fired a shot toward net that was saved but the rebound squirted out to McCrank in the right face-off circle. The junior then buried his chance through traffic for his sixth goal of the season and to pull Canisius even at two. Sophomore Chris Rumble also registered an assist on the goal at the 3:59 mark of the second.
McCrank then completed his hat trick and gave Canisius the only lead it would require in the game, scoring with 11:08 remaining. On a 2-on-1 rush, sophomore Ralph Cuddemi fed the puck to McCrank in the slot and the junior knocked it for his seventh goal of the season and the 3-2 advantage. Freshman Shane Conacher added an assist for the Griffs on the game-winning tally.
The Canisius defense held from there behind the goaltending of Capobianco. The senior stopped all 14 shots he saw in the third period, including nine saves after Canisius took the lead, to preserve the one-goal victory for the Griffs.
Bentley finished the game with a 40-32 advantage in shots with both teams going 1-for-3 on the power play. Branden Komm recorded 29 saves for the Falcons in the defeat.
Canisius now prepares to face top-seeded Mercyhurst in the Atlantic Hockey semifinals, a rematch of last year's championship game – a 7-2 Griffs win. The schools are set to meet on Friday at the Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, N.Y.
Game Notes: McCrank had four goals in the first 35 games of the season before his three-goal performance on Sunday … His hat trick is the second in the program's Division I postseason history as Cody Freeman netted three goals last Saturday against Sacred Heart … It marked just the fifth time in conference history that the road team won a playoff series (40 attempts) and Canisius accomplished the feat for the third time … The Griffs won a game three in a playoff series for the first time in three attempts … Canisius also won a series for the first time after losing game one of a series (was 0-4).

"The articulation is crisp and even in the opening [of the Haydn], he brings a reflective stillness to the slow movement. Things are weighted, and also freighted with depth, not least in the expressively rolled chords. He relishes the skittish fun embedded in the finale and plays it with requisite liveliness. Variations on a Theme by Gluck offers even more opportunity for playfulness, as well as a slightly more extended canvas.
