Excellent price and a great looking watch.
my daughter will love it this christmas.
very,very,nice,wife loves it,sb
What a beautiful watch this is. I got this watch to honor my step Dad. He is a Korean combat veteran. I think that when my Mom sees it, she is going to want it. I have received so many complements on it. Normally I cannot wear a women's watch, because the face is so small. This one is perfect, not too small and the face is the right size. Thanks SG for the perfect way to honor my step-Dad.
Same quality I've grown to exspect from SG
This is a very nice watch for a great price

It's getting close to being swimsuit season and Avera Dermatologists want to remind you it's also the time of year when your chances for getting skin cancer increases. Melanoma is the most dangerous type of skin cancer.
By now most of us in the Midwest are chomping at the bit to get outside, but Avera Dermatologist Dr. Brian Knutson warns us to be careful with our sun exposure. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in this country. 1 in 5 of us will get it. Melanoma is the most dangerous and deadly.
Dr. Knutson with Avera Dermatology and Laser Center says, "With melanoma one person will die every hour in the US.. This type of cancer spreads easily so the earliest we can identify it, the better."
For those of you with no family history of skin cancer you should get your moles checked once a year.
Dr. Knutson says, "Generally a mole that is unchanged for many years tends to be a more benign mole. If you start to see changes in color or shape, it becomes more suspicious in appearance, then that is something we would want to take a look at under a microscope."
If you are going to be outside protective clothes are your best protection, next best is sunscreen. The recommendation is to use one with a SPF of 30 or more and put it on 15 to 20 minutes before you go outside so it has time to soak into your skin. Reapply every 2 hours, unless you have been swimming then you need to reapply after you get out of the water. I asked Dr. Knutson if you have to buy new sunscreen every summer or if that was the industries way of getting us to buy more bottles. He says you should be applying an ounce every time you put it on so if you do the math, you shouldn't have any left over after the summer.
Dr. Knutson says, "We definitely see more skin cancer in individuals that don't have a lot of protective pigments. The blonde, blue eyed, red hair folks are at greater risk."
All the more reason to layer on the sunscreen and avoid laying out altogether.
May 3rd has been dubbed "Melanoma Monday" in Sioux Falls. From 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at the Lewis Drug Store on 41st and Minnesota Ave. you can get screened for skin cancer for free. Appointments are REQUIRED by calling 1-877-AT-AVERA (1-877-282-8372).

Skate 3 Review
Skate 3 should really come with an 'online only' label. It's all about teamwork this time around - skating together, sharing videos and skateparks, and embarrassing rivals as you build your brand into a phenomenon. In complete contrast, the single-player experience has been grossly simplified with idiotic A.I. teammates, a throwaway story about starting a company, and insulting challenges,... Read More

What portion of the DNA pool that didn't trickle down to Tim Hardaway Jr. — such as his father's famous "UTEP two-step" crossover dribble — it made up for by giving the Michigan junior an NBA ready 6-6 frame and smooth outside stroke.
Tim Sr., a 6-0 fan favorite for the Heat and five-time NBA All-Star, allowed Tim Jr. to hone his own skill set and establish his own career path, which helped Tim Jr. get selected No. 24 overall by the New York Knicks in the NBA Draft on Thursday.
"I didn't want to be a burden on Tim's shoulders," Hardaway Sr. said. "I just wanted to represent him as a parent, give him advice when necessary. I'm in the shadows. I'm not one to be in the forefront. I'm proud the job my wife and I did raising a great kid."
The Hardaways have vastly different playing styles but they share a work ethic that allowed Hardaway Jr. to go from under-the-radar prospect at Miami Palmetto High to one of the nation's elite wing players at Michigan.
As the ideal complement to Trey Burke, the ninth overall selection, Hardaway averaged 14.5 point and 4.6 rebounds as a junior to help the Wolverines (31-8) return to the national championship game for the first time in 20 seasons.
Hardaway's selection puts him on the bitter Eastern Conference rival his father battled in the playoffs and should offset the possible loss of J.R. Smith, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year, who became an unrestricted free agent.
Hardaway Jr. boosted his stock at the NBA Combine in Chicago, which left predraft projections ranging from him being picked at No. 20 by USA Today to No. 29 by CBS Sports' Matt Moore.
"Tim sacrificed his game for his team," Hardaway Sr. said. "If he didn't sacrifice, Michigan wouldn't have been in the final game of the season. His talent will speak for itself on the next level. Now everybody understands the game already. His ability is going to come out a lot better than it did in college."

The Poet's Voice, yearly readings in Fairfield County libraries by outstanding poets, returns to Darien Library on Sunday, April 18th at 3p.m.. Poet Annie Boutelle will read her poems at this annual event, which will be held in the Conference Room on the Library's Mezzanine Level.
In Becoming Bone, (pictured left) Boutelle seeks to recover the inner life of Celia Thaxter, one of nineteenth-century America's most popular poets. "Like whaler's scrimshaw, images incised on shell and bone, Boutelle's lines seem etched, indelible," writes poet Eleanor Wilner. Gerald Stern, former Poet Laureate of New Jersey dubbed the book, "a magnificent secret history."
Annie Boutelle's second book, Nest of Thistles, won the 2005 Samuel French Morse Prize from Northeastern University Press. It is in part, an autobiographical exploration of her childhood in Scotland. With patient care, she maps the borders of unrecoverable loss and unbounded joy.
Boutelle teaches at Smith College, where she founded the Poetry Center. She is considered the guiding light of the Poetry Center and continues to guide the Center's efforts.
A reception will follow the reading.
The reading is supported by the Horace E. Manacher Poetry Fund and contributions to the Darien Library Annual Campaign.
Additional parking for evening and weekend Library programs on Thorndal Circle (behind Nielsen's).

Hi, I'm Jaden, a professional recipe developer, food columnist and food photographer specializing in fast, fresh and easy recipes for the home cook. Most of my recipes are modern Asian! About meFast, fresh & easy recipes for the home cook.
Thursday, November 7, 2013
It's not often that you meet soul mates or life-long family friends. We (and I mean every one of us in the Steamy Kitchen family, including Coco) feel extremely lucky to count Todd and Diane of White on Rice Couple as part of our family.
I think that was 4 years ago when I first saw their post on Tofu Fries, but honestly, time is all jumbled up since that darn internet/social media/blogging world sped up time. OMGGGGG- I just checked the link and it's been almost 6 years now. Hot damn.
Diane and Todd have supported us through countless videos, trips, Food Blog Forums, long texts, phone calls and virtual hugs. They are just the most generous, love-with-open-arms people that we know. My kids lovingly call them "Auntie Diane" and "Uncle Todd."
Finally, it's our turn to introduce to you their very first cookbook, Bountiful: Recipes Inspired by our Garden.
Well, it's more than just a cookbook. The book is a peek into their bountiful life and surroundings with gorgeous photography of vegetables, fruit, herbs….and of course recipes. I hope you have a chance look through a copy of their book. Psst….here's an article from LA Times Food Section on how they transformed their mess of a backyard into a bountiful oasis.
Bountiful cookbook by Todd Porter and Diane Cu
I've made their super-simple Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce and paired with fresh salmon. It's a 16-minute recipe. You'll love the updated freshness of Japanese teriyaki sauce. This Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce goes with evvvverything. Not only is the sauce "no-cook" but it all comes together simply in a blender. Use the sauce to drizzle on roasted or steamed veggies; as a marinade for pork, chicken or seafood, as a simmer sauce (like this recipe) or just toss with cooked noodles.
Salmon Teriyaki
Ingredients:2 cups fresh pineapple, divided
1 knob fresh ginger
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil
sprig of fresh mint or basil
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 salmon filets (about 4-6 oz each)
For the Pineapple Teriyaki Sauce: In a blender, add just 1 cup of the pineapple, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar, sesame oil and puree until smooth.
Dice the remaining pineapple. Mince the fresh mint or basil. Combine these two ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.
Heat a large sauté or frying pan over medium high heat and swirl in the olive oil. When hot, add the salmon filets.
Cook each side of the salmon for approximately 2-3 minutes or until there is a nice crust but the inside is still just barely raw. Pour in the teriyaki sauce to the pan and simmer for one minute, spooning the hot mixture all over the salmon. Top with the fresh diced pineapple and mint. Serve immediately.
Couldn't find the recipe. Bummed.
You have a reference to the full recipe in the video, indicating that it can be found at http://steamykitchen.com/156, but it goes to a "page not found".
i didnt have pineapple so I used half the amount of frozen mangoes and it turns out really well too. i drizzle over fried chicken and bf and I loveddd it!! thanks so much for the idea <3
Pingback: Recipe Roundup: Dinner | PACK IT IN
I just made this tonight! It was so easy and really impressive. Plus it used a lot of the stuff we already had in our kitchen! I used canned pineapple and didn't miss the fresh ($$$). We spent our money on two good pieces of salmon and it was easily the best meal we've had all week. Going to use the remaining sauce on some tofu this week
They are so well known and held in such high regard in the food blogging world that my first thought was, "How in the **** is this their first cookbook? Is this a backdated post from 2008?"
Pinned this to make for Trevor, the lover of all things salmon and pineapple.
My girlfriend has sent me some of her favorite food blogs. I'm recuperating from knee surgery and am off my feet. Her favorites include your and also one called "Cooking With Mr. C." I just Liked him on Facebook so I can get daily recipes. Your blog looks sensational. I look forward to your posts. Shelly
P.S. Salmon looks incredible.
I made this tonight and husband said, "I WAS CRITICAL BUT THAT WAS A WOW!" Thank You, Jaden for sharing this incredible recipe. God bless x
good cooking.. thumbs up!
Is the salmon skin on?
Made this tonight and it's amazing! Definitely a keeper. Thanks for sharing the recipe, Jaden!
I love this! I just posted my herb salmon recipe that I have been obsessed with lately as well.

Restaurant Review: The Rest is Main Street's hidden speakeasy
By Heather L. King
Special to The TribuneFirst published Sep 17 2013 04:30PM
The secret is out. Below the Bodega, a convenience store/tavern on Salt Lake City's Main Street, you'll find The Rest, a new speakeasy.
To begin your dining experience, enter an unmarked door with a special key. Walk down a flight of stairs and go through another door.
A brown file folder serves as the menu — most of which describes cocktails, overseen by Caleb Cannon, and beer. Vague descriptions of red, white or bubbly wines weren't enticing enough to order.
Take some time with your drink selection as you peruse a full page of cocktails, all $11. Creations include the Loophole (rye, St. Germain, lime, honey and lavender bitters); the Kentucky Maid (bourbon, lime, cucumber, mint); the Folklore (rye, Fernet, b&b, bitters) and the Pudge (scotch, sweet vermouth, green chartreuse and absinthe). My husband was happy to see Bitburger on the beer menu and Squatters is brewing an IPA just for Bodega called El Borracho — the drunkard.
The food choices are on the final page. While the dishes and descriptions might initially seem to be familiar comfort food, expect the unexpected.
We'll start with dessert because there is only one but it's the best representation of beignets ($7) I've found in the valley. Get them first or save room for them. These pillows of pastry are filled with sweet blueberry compote and a side of fresh whipped cream for a delightful sweet evening treat.
If you're primarily headed to The Rest for drinks and want just a few bites to go with your cocktails, you'll find both sweet and savory snacks for munching. Try the generous serving of warm marinated olives ($6) for a nice salty bite or the barbecue caramel popcorn ($4) for a sweeter crunch. Pickled onion rings ($6) were a surprise hit at my table. A crunchy, fried outer coating revealed tangy onions served alongside a spicy aioli for dipping.
For a more filling options, the meatloaf terrine ($12) comes with a house-made mashed tomato ketchup — a savory but slightly sweet tomato marmalade — and toast points.
Unfortunately, the vague description of anchovy, Parmesan, pork belly and frisée on the bacon & eggs ($10) dish lead my party to believe that we would get something entirely different than three deviled eggs served atop greens with overly crispy pork belly "bacon."
While you can sample much of The Rest's menu as shared small plates, there is a section that offers heavier items suitable for individual entrees.
My favorite was The 36. A version of a Reuben without the rye, The 36 features piles of pastrami, tart sauerkraut and melted cheese. Our server explained that it gets its numerical name because the pastrami is brined and braised for 36 hours. As much as I loved the taste however, for $16 I would expect more than potato chips and a pickle to accompany it.
The honey-glazed beer can chicken — a whole fryer, cooked over a can of PBR — serves two for $35 and comes with warm potato salad and an asparagus side. This item will take approximately 40 minutes to prepare, so sit back and enjoy the tunes spinning from the record player. When ready, your chicken will be presented to the table whole — a nice touch — and then returned to the kitchen to be portioned.
Pass on the braised lamb shepherd's pie ($16) which was dry and overpowered by fresh mint. Ditto for the Kraft Dinner ($14) entrée, which I'm guessing is an attempt at a gourmet tuna casserole. While each ingredient of this dish was delicious, putting sushi-grade seared tuna over al dente spaghetti in cheddar sauce with English peas and then covering it with fresh watercress is a head scratcher. I'd rather have the tuna as an appetizer and forget the rest.
Instead, order the smoked "hobo" trout ($18) delivered in a tinfoil swan — be assured, it's fish and not fowl inside. The trout was moist and flavorful to the last bite. Brown butter cauliflower, apples and pickled raisins really elevated this entrée from it's simple campfire cookout roots.
To keep from revealing all the mystery of The Rest, you'll likely want to explore owner Sara Lund's vision of a New York speakeasy yourself. Once you arrive, take the time to follow the story of local artist Jake Buntjer's dioramas behind the bar or relax in the library while enjoying a craft cocktail. The Rest is an experience you won't come across every day.

Simms Jenkins | December 30, 2010 | Comments
There is a huge difference between e-mail and e-mail marketing. Here are the main points you should know.
I was reading Seth Godin's blog entry called "8 things I wish everyone knew about email" and as Mr. Godin often does, it got me to dig a little deeper. What did I wish everyone knew about e-mail marketing? Remember, there is a huge difference between e-mail and e-mail marketing. The result, for better or worse, is this column.
I asked my company's director of creative services, Michael Harvey, to summarize this situation and he told me "email doesn't support a lot of the 'bells and whistles' you'd find in more traditional digital media (advanced interactivity, animation, sophisticated/consistent rendering) therefore you have to be even more creative to still produce a dynamic and engaging design." Which leads us to our next thing I wish everyone knew about.
What would you add to this list for anyone who needs to know something that matters in the e-mail marketing world?

Daniel Paille scored at 13:48 in overtime to give the Boston Bruins a 2-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup finals, evening their series. The teams went to overtime for the second straight game, but this one ended two periods before Game 1.
After being out-shot 19-4 and falling behind 1-0 in the first period, the Bruins scored the equalizer in the second on Chris Kelly's goal, which marked his first point of the postseason. Boston had more shots on goal than Chicago in each period after the first including overtime, where they controlled the puck and had a number of great chances, including a Jaromir Jagr shot that hit off the post.
Paille finally put a wrister past Corey Crawford after getting a nice pass from Tyler Seguin following Chicago's turnover. The goal left Blackhawks fans with a similar reaction:

Battlefield 3 looks awesome. I was a big fan of Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The entire BrowserMob crew - all three of us - played it a bunch. Doubtful I'll get to play BF3 too much with a 1 month old baby at home, but it'll probably steal every spare second I can find. Definitely hoping that the boring Call of Duty line finally gets eclipsed by Battlefield this holiday season!

Patterson High, picked by local pundits as a contender for the Western Athletic Conference championship this season, picked one of the toughest opponents it could find for its home-opener: Turlock High, a perennial Central California Conference contender.
The result left the home team encouraged, if not entirely satisfied.
"This was exactly the kind of game we wanted when we scheduled it," said Greg Hartsell, the Patterson coach. "We wanted a real tough game at home. This felt like a league game, and we hope it will get (the Tigers) ready for the regular season."
Hartsell called the game a "good test" for his team in its pursuit of a WAC title.
"We're not necessarily happy with a tie, but getting it against this kind of a team is a good achievement for us," he said.
The Tigers found themselves trailing the Bulldogs about 20 minutes into the first half.
As Patterson players tried to clear the ball from the goalkeeper's box, Turlock's Carlos Ochoa intercepted a bad pass, dribbled in and beat goalie Jose Rodriguez, a sophomore, with a right-footed shot.
Patterson kept possession of the ball for a majority of the second half, tying the game in the 58th minute with a goal by junior Marcos Melendez .
"I thought that we played a good, solid 30 minutes in the first half, but we somehow lost our focus," Melendez said. "We wanted to come out stronger in the second half. We wanted to bring the same energy that made us successful in the first half, but we had to finish our chances."
Leading up to Patterson's lone goal, junior Osvaldo Barbosa took a short pass from a teammate and broke into the Bulldogs' half of the field. He fired at the goal, but a Turlock defender got a foot in the way of the shot. The ball bounced into a gap between the Bulldogs' keeper on one side and Melendez on the other.
Turlock's goalie dived out to smother the ball. But at the same moment, the Bulldog defense tried to clear it from harm's way.
Instead, the ball fell in front of the goal, directly in Melendez's path. He pounced on it and shot it into the net for Patterson.
"These players have lots of heart and pride," Hartsell said. "It was their home opener, so they wanted to put on a good show for the fans."
Patterson found itself a man down late in the game when junior Israel Sotelo was sent off the field for a a red card . The Tigers fought hard on defense for the remaining 15 minutes to prevent the Bulldogs from converting their advantage into a goal.
Rodriguez made a crucial block in the 71st minute, deflecting Turlock's last notable shot on goal. For the remainder of the game, both sides battled but were unable to create a game-winning opportunity.
"Everyone put in a good effort," Rodriguez said. "We're proud of that. I'm happy for the team and the potential that's there. I can't wait to see what this team can do with more time on the field together."
Junior varsity
Patterson's JV had no trouble with Turlock, outscoring the visiting team 3-0.
"The team is playing very positive right now, and that's helping us to build some confidence," Patterson coach Cade Tomasegovich said. "We're starting to take advantage of what other teams are giving us. It seems like we're getting there — to the way we should be playing."
Freshman Mauricio Gallardo tallied two goals for Patterson. Jordy Corral, also a freshman, added a third goal.

text: DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - A Lake Superior Zoo employee was injured while working with an Amur Tiger during a routine training session. At the time of the accident on Monday afternoon, the zookeeper was using some venison as positive reinforcement. During the session, a piece of venison got stuck on the chain link barrier between the keeper and the tiger. When the zookeeper attempted to flick the meat into the holding area, her fingertip and the tiger's mouth arrived at the fence at the same time. The zookeeper was taken to a hospital for treatment of an injured fingertip. The animal care team has no reason to believe that the accident was the result of any aggressive behavior on the tiger's part and "Ussuri" will continue to be on exhibit at the zoo.

Rick Ray isn't happy with Jalen Steele, at all
Feb 11, 2013, 6:15 PM EDT
Rick Ray has had a rough season in his first as head coach at Mississippi State. A massive amount of transfers and players going pro, a rash of injuries and a late start on recruiting led to a general lack of talent within the Bulldogs' program this season.
And it got worse when the team announced that guard Jalen Steele was suspended indefinitely to days ago.
Well, Ray isn't leaving it at that. Not by a long shot.
In an interview session on Monday, Ray sounded off on Steele's suspension.
No one knows what got Steele suspended. But whatever it was, it was enough for Ray to avoid the "internal matter" cliche and go straight to putting his lone returning consistent contributor on blast for everyone to see.
I don't blame Ray. It's been a season where rarely anything has gone his way and I'm sure he's getting fed up with it. He trusted Steele, who is averaging 9.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game this season, to be a type of leader with this team, being that he's the only one who can truly tell you what it was like to play with Renardo Sidney and Arnett Moultrie last year. Steele getting benched for something other than bad play has to infuriate a guy who has made Steele his bell cow this season.
And when you break it down to brass tax, that's a statement that can be used in general. Any player that has an impact on his team's play and attitude like Steele does is screwing with their respective team. In a season that little can go wrong if you want to at least be respectable, Steele just made it even tougher. And I'm sure Ray is the most disappointed of anyone.

Accent lighting is a hot trend in deck design right now, thanks largely to the availability of affordable low-voltage LEDs. Fiberon's Accent Lights are recessed into the deck surface. Installation doesn't require an electrician; the lights are wired to a transformer, which is plugged into a standard outlet. A kit containing 10 lights, a transformer, the needed wire, and a remote-control dimmer costs $230.

To do the cool things, you have to be logged in first.
Okay so I have my reservations about this years team and the moves that have been made. I'm glad I'm just a fan and not the decision maker. But fans are the business so....I'm not entirely sure if Stotts is the long term solution. I know I'm in the minority.. But it's going to make it very hard for me to watch/go to games... if the goal is to just outscore people.I understand the need to push the ball up the court and run, but run for the rim... Not the three.I highly doubt my ability to even watch games on tv if they're just firing up wild 3's all night long. If I wanted to see that I'd go to a random gym, pay 5$ and do it myself.I'm very scared that the Blazers are going to look like the Suns.. or even the current Warriors and attempt to outscore people.As far as zone defence? I hate zone defence/box and one with a passion. But with one maybe two above average defenders on the team It might be a must...Well 1:23am prolly should head to bed.
Hey Mike, welcome back and welcome to the new season:That train that is loading up used to be the L Train, but I have been joking around all summer about it being the new LL and L train, that being Lamarcus, Lillard and Leonard.I have been studying all summer and have become a much better student of the game of BB then I used to be; of course, I still need the Mike and Mike, Sarahhecht, and Casey to get my lessons for the day.I am like you, it may be too early to say or think, but watching what I could of summer league, makes me think Lillard, or from now on Dlill, will be a special PGofTF. I compare him to BRoy, not in his style of play, but more to the fact of all he brings to the game; he can shoot the three, he can take it to the rim, he is already great with pick and rolls, he has a great step back jumper and he can find open shooters. That part of it is fact not brag; you feel he can be a game changer, me too, I think he will bring us that closer that we lost in BRoy also. Last year our PG was a disaster for the most part of the season, and our sixth man was a notorious me first player, So with DLill, and Nolan developing as a top rotation player, IMO, we are already better and more fun then last years entire year, and we do forget we had some high lights last year, both OKC games, that we really won is the best, putting it together after blowing up the team and beating Chicago away was very exciting. I think our starters with Lillard, much improved Wesley, a fired up Batum, of course LMA and an assortment of centers that will be more by committee then any beginning big star, can match up with many of the NBA teams, and also give the super teams something to think about.Mike: Sarah and Casey is aware that the subscribing to the commenters is not working, So my continued crying will now go to your blog as well. Is there a new way to do that, I can go on line to Blazer home page and read all the comments, but I liked it much better getting notification through my e-mail.Welcome back Mike
Mike, I guess you're the only one who can answer this right now so if you can take the time respond... GREAT!
I recall that both you and Mike Rice talked about Nicolas Batum was going to have a number change from #88 to #55 starting this upcoming season. Reason being because of his mother's birthday was on May 5. When pictures and videos of the new red uniforms came out, I saw a video of Batum in them being interviewed and he was wearing his familiar #88. I also saw Blazer merchandise of Batum's #88. I thought of the reasoning behind changing his number was a great gesture.
Any information about why he changed his mind and decided to stay with his old number, like did he get mad at his mother or something (not that I believe that would be the reason)?
I am so excited for the season to get underway. Thanks for your take on the new team and coach, Mike. Go Blazers!
@ Brandon Weinant, u might b right that Stotts may not b the man for the job BUT u may b wrong about that too. Let's give the man a chance b4 we say he's the wrong guy; I AM in the camp who believe that he is the RIGHT man for the job but that doesn't mean I'm going to try to heap too much praise or try to convert the doubters (yet ;) though. All I'm saying is give this man a FAIR chance to prove himself b4 getting negative about Stotts (devil's advocate: & we shouldn't give him too much praise until he's earned it ;); he's a Blazer too & ALL OUR Blazers need our support especially w/ all the changes that have gone on recently. IF Stotts really stinks it up... roast away but I have a feeling Stotts' actions will make u change ur mind ;)
hey MB! seems like forever since you last wrote. always glad to get your perspective on the opening of camp.now, i don't want to dig, but isn't this the same optimism we have every season? sure, some names have changed and all, but we always get excited simply for the season to start. as you remember from the previous blog, i'm not sold on Stotts. style and results will either prove or disprove that he's the right guy (and to @BrandonWeeden: i suspect you and i are not in the minority).i'm still not sold on Damian nor with handing the keys to an unproven small-college combo guard (which is basically the definition of a shoot-first point guard). Luke is already better than Adam Morrison ever will be and that sf position is already crowded with Nico, Luke, Victor and Will. simply, we don't need another sf. you didn't mention Meyers! from following Nolan on twitter and reading other things, t seems to me that he is ready for the season. i kind of felt bad for him last year that he didn't have a training cap prior to his rookie year (at least not a real one). the next step in moving personnel has to be to trade Wesley. he hustles and does have his moments, but he is not a viable shooting guard for a team looking to make a run deep into the playoffs. let's not forget, he was stolen away from utah as a backup for Brandon Roy. how many actually thought he would be our starter? after a couple years, i think it's time for that experiment to come to its conclusion.the fact of the matter is that while we always get excited this time of year, i'm not prepared to get overly optimistic at this juncture. sorries if i seem negative.~ KMM
@ Kass, I know what u r saying about the excitement thing every yr. & don't totally disagree; maybe it's a bit of the "homer" in the rest of us ;) I want our Blazers to make the playoffs this yr. but most likely they won't bc there r a lot of good teams that just got better (especially around that 8th spot & the WHOLE NBA is finally balancing out); I could go on about this but I'm not gonna ;)About Wes, again I don't totally disagree w/ u & he's a VERY marketable/flexible piece that could net us a lot in return but I say we wait until the beginning of the new yr. b4 we even think/talk about moving Wes. We'll know what we have in Wes & his future potential ~2 months into this season (same goes for Batuum ;).No need 2 b sorry. What u said is honest/blunt; I think u r right to temper expectations. I believe I'm more optimistic than u (@ least currently) but I I'm far from overly optimistic (again, @ least for now ;) also.
Great article Mike! I think fans are always excited about a new season but to me this season is special. Nobody in crutches getting big paychecks for one. I am sold on Stotts and if I'm not mistaken, Kaleb is our defensive coach. I think zone is smart defense when you're undersized and quick. It's also a fast break defense if you get rebounds. I like our bench unlike a lot of fans. Price, Jeffries and yes, I believe Pavlovich are going to surprise fans with what they bring defensively to the team. I think our shooters will improve across the board with the coaching style. I would never trade Wesley. I'm penciling him in to win Most Improved Player this season and Nico to be an allstar. I love the idea of JJ and LA being a duo in the post...hard to double team either without paying a price. I love that Lillard can score and rebound as well. I love that Price is a lockdown defensive pt guard that was coached by Sloan and backed up Steve Nash. I see no negatives to worry about and haven't felt this optimistic about the roster and staff since Oden was drafted. We have bigs that can score, make freethrows and run. That's an advantage in the NBA. Morrison is a better shooter than Babbit with a defender in his face but Babbit is a great set shooter if he's open. Morrison hits those shots on the run. Babbit has to prove he's a complete player to me and I hope he does but he didn't impress me in summer league at all. Let the games begin. A side note on the last courtside...questions being asked were continuously interupted and in the end not answered...check out the replay and you guys might want to give a bit of space to those who are trying to answer questions. I won't name names but Wheels is really patient with the conversations..Go Blazers!
I agree with a lot of the comments above mine. This kind of optimism is always around at the start of the season. I think in some ways it's legitimate and in other ways it isn't. Obviously, I'm excited for Lillard. Kassandra, while the idea of Lillard being "unproven" is still real, I think he'll turn out perfectly fine. I had doubts even heading into summer league, but he surprised me there. As Mike said, these training camp and preseason weeks are times to work things out and figure out where we're headed. I think that's what this entire season will be like actually. Lillard is going to change how this team plays, and the question of how our other starters will work with him is a big question. The questions surrounding Wes and Nic are right to be asked, and I think that this is really the final season we should say "He has potential. He'll be better next year." They're both old enough that they've fit into the NBA. If they can't play well this year, get rid of them. I am hopeful for both of them however, just as I am every preseason. I think playing with Lillard will help Nic and Wes move around and score more as long as they can hit their shots.I'm not sure about the new guys like Price, Morrison, Freeland, Jefferies, or even Leonard. I really hope we give a share of minutes to Barton; I think he has great potential at SG.The comments on Freeland are a bit exciting to me. I didn't really expect anything from him and completely forgot about him until recently (we drafted him back in 2006!), but didn't think he'd be a starter like Mike says the coaches hinted at. That would be fantastic if he was good enough for that. That would mean LaMarcus wouldn't have to play much at Center. Curious on other thoughts though. You guys have some great opinions on this. Excited to see how the season turns out!
Hey Miss Kassandra: Glad you responded, like Mike, it seems like forever since we heard from you;of course you are right about the excitement of the opening of season every year is a repeat, I do the same thing with my Fall Bowling league, although I have the same team, and probably get the same results, I am still excited in getting it going.
There is always skepticism of new players and new team mates, and I like you, in the draft was wanting Marshall, and like you, I support whomever the FO drafts; my excitement for DLill and this years team is the flop of last year; as far as I am concerned anything that gives me hope after "The Jamal, Felton melt down" is reason to be excited, but again as you have guessed I am a passionate Blazer fan and easily excitable. So bring on DLill and let the games begin.I am maybe in agreement with you about Wesley, and last year he struggled mightily, but since I blame the whole fiasco of last year on the above mentioned culperts, I am waiting one more year on Wesley; I am thinking that maybe we have better 2gds on the team, but Wesley still brings a lot of good D and leadership.Also, like U, I am not overly optimistic of how far this team will go, but I am overly excited to see a new, season, a new team, like you pessimistic about, Stotts, and a brand new start, and I am overly confident that Lillard will be a sight for sore eyes after Felton. Thank you for giving us your true insight, and there is no reason to apologize for the way you feel, mainly after last year. I cannot believe you are a junior in college already, Good grief, I was old when you started posting and Blogging and now, I really feel old ☺.Are you starting on a blog yet?
Surprise of the year- WILL BARTON
My take on Wes Matthews. Retire him as a Blazer. 15 years from now. He may never be an allstar. He may be a backup for much of his career. He is everything you want from a team standpoint. He does more behind the scenes than the average fan knows about. Every championship team has had a Matthews on it. His value does not always show up on the box score.
My thoughts:(1) Love that JJ Hickson has been accepted for what he brings to the team: hustle and muscle and other valuable traits this team has been missing for a while now. Players who can score 12-15 pts a game without having plays called for them are invaluable. Not to mention his rebounding.
(2) The two biggest question marks are Lillard and Batum. If they both work out as hoped, this season could be a very good one. If either falters, it's unlikely there will be a playoff push in PDXland.(3) I like the way Coach Stotts has begun his reign. The new coaching staff will have to prove themselves this season as much as the new players.(4) Unlike some others, I look for Wes Matthews to have an excellent year. This is make or break for him as far has his Blazer career is concerned and I think he will make it, not break it. We know the team wants great defense and Wes certainly can provide that.--don
The team and the press has been raving over the way JJ Hickson came into camp in such great condition? Answer me this: All NBA players are professionals. Their jobs and careers are on the line every season. Why doesn't every player come to camp in great shape???--don
Hg...I'm sure it was a typo, but DWill doesn't play for the Blazers, he's the Nets pt guard
riverman:Yes we were talking about getting DWill, we had Ewill, and now we have DLill so all my shortcuts gets bogged up in my head, My bad
Don:I agree with you on both post, The big reason Lillard hit the draft so great is because he came into the draft tryouts in top physical shape. I agree with you on Matthews having a break out year. He is finally injury free, he has improved his dribble drive, he can now dunk because of lower body and leg development, he is a leader and leads by example and hustle; if you judged him by just his shooting, playmaking even scoring, then he might break it in many fans eyes, but he brings so much more to the table. Besides, I LIKE HIM LOL.
And one more thing: Lots of press (ESPN) about Raymond Felton coming into NY's practice in great shape, and blaming last year's performance with the Blazers on being out of shape. Intentionally or not, Felton sabotaged the Blazers effort last year, not only by coming in fat and lazy but staying that way for most the of season and being a big part of the "I'm not playing for Nate" bunch.--don
BrandonWeeden huh? Well I'm okay with that I guess... But wheres my $$? :)Hmm well I believe it was pretty well reported Felton has alot of talent. But he typically comes into training camp out of shape. I think that was how it was reported when we traded for him. Good for him that he got into shape before camp, hope he has a good year.I'm not as down on wesley as others are. I personally believe hes lived up to expetations. Hes a backup 2 that hustles and wont back down from anyone. He is a player however that needs a dominate point to get him open looks. Felton and Crawford really wern't dominate last year.I am down on Batum though. I wanted Barnes in the draft when he fell. That way we could have done a sign and trade with Batum.(but I know most of my lady-friends would have been upset with that haha)

"A Perfect Tale - Al Gets What He Deserves!"
What a great story! Trent and Rachel work very well together now, and there are the usual interferences from Trent's "ex". Newt is very much front and center in this tale, adding adventure and a lot of story backfill that makes the book a rich read. Have a listen to this one for a great escape!
"Some Scary Twists and Turns!"
Patricia Briggs continues with her excellent story telling in this 8th book of the Mercy Thompson series. The story starts with a sure way to keep things tense in the pack, and the source of that tension (Adam's ex-wife) seems to bring on even more serious issues the whole pack ends up having to deal with. There are some very scary twists and turns in the story toward the climax that had me saying to myself "OH NO!".
Lorelei King does her usual superb job of narrating the book, taking the listener right into Mercy's world. I just love how she manages to change her voice to make Adam sound masculine...a true artist!
"The information is good but delivery is pedantic"
If you have no problem listening to a professor whose delivery is more pedantic than spontaneous, this is a fair medium to learn from. Otherwise, I'd recommend that it be read from a book. Tweezing out the jewels while listening to someone speak in the fashion Tim Conway used to drive his audience nuts by doing his slow talk routine is a tough job. I did manage to finish the course but I had to deliberately choose when to listen such as days I was particularly patient. As mentioned in the title, the suggestions are good. Getting to them is not.
"This One Is "Best in Series"!"
For those who have been reading Faith Hunter's Jane Yellowrock series and following Jane's/Beast's growing pains, this book is the icing on the series cake. All the substance from the prior stories evolve exponentially in this book, taking readers through all the strong emotions, rage, dispair, righteous anger and of course, love.
Jane's best friend's husband, Evan, starts this book by literally blowing into town, and knocking down Jane's front door to demand she send his wife (Molly) out. Trouble is, Jane hasn't seen her friend and the entire series of adventures begins with the new Yellowrock Securities taking on the task of finding Molly.
The book is rich in developing existing characters into more realistic dimensions and in bringing the reader face-to-face with ethical choices, challenging physical limits and literally finding out who Jane's real friends are.
Faith has successfully woven several plot lines coming from the outside toward a central cause with such artistry that the reader is literally stunned from the exciting story telling when the conclusion drops into place. For the newbies to this series, the Jane Yellowrock World Companion might be a good "add on" to this book, but get this one first, you won't regret it.
Khristine Hvam IS Jane Yellowrock, and does a perfect job of rendering the character in all her moods. Enjoy this audiobook!
"More of Everything Jane Yellowrock (and friends)!"
Cat o' Nine Tales, is a delightful mix of previously published favorite short stories about Jane Yellowrock, many through the eyes of her friends and adversaries, and two new novellas wading into adventures connected with her weir-tainted love interest and his extended family.
For die-hard Jane Yellowrock readers who've read everything in print they could find, the new stories included in this collection will absolutely titillate, as they divulge more information about Rick LaFleur, and introduce a whole new group of characters to the Yellowrock saga with adventure to spare!
Faith Hunter continues to showcase her mastery of urban fantasy short story thrillers in this excellent collection, and I highly recommend the read.
"We Finally Read About Jane's Origins"
Aha! That's why!
Khristine's rendition of the characters simply "make" them. She's a consumate artist with her reading. And, need I add, she is positively Jane personified.
Well, not laugh or cry, but definitely inspired admiration for Jane's strength and character.
This is an excellent way to get a first impression of Jane Yellowrock in action. Her abilities make her regular readers green with envy!
"This Series Is Awesome!"
Yes, Natalie Gold reads the characters so well. She brings them to life.
Thorn St. Croix as a Neomage, trying to make a living among people who would kill her just for being able to work the elements around her.
I liked Natalie's "voice" for Thorn's character and the life she breathes into the other characters.
Yes, and it was almost that...
Read all three of these books beginning with Blood Ring. Natalie does all three in the series...
"Surprising Twist From Patricia Briggs"
Absolutely! While Patricia Briggs is best known for her Mercy Thompson and Wolf Pack stories, this first of a two book story was a truly surprisingly entertaining departure from her usual subjects.
The dragon boy...because he was so wise.
Joe brings personality to the characters that might not convey through just reading the book.
Can't think of one.
Just that I highly recommned the two books and wished she'd write more on this story line.
"Fun Sam Spade-Like Reading"
For sheer '40s style entertainment, right up there with Heinlein.
The entire ambiance and style it was written in, and read perfectly.
The lead character...
Definitel made me laugh...lots of humanity in the story.
Highly recommended for an easy romp through a good sci-fi story.
"Fascinating Look Into the World of Perception"
Fascinating stories.
It opened up the world to some of the oddest self-perception dysfunctions known to medical practice. Hard to believe the mind tries so hard to work around some truly enormous deficits in order to function.
The fellow who truly mistook his wife for a hat.
Yes, and almost was.
This book gained a new fan of Oliver Sacks stories. Elegantly read, and consumately written.

A Few Reasons This Stock Should Have a Great Year Ahead
Harsh is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
After NetEase (NASDAQ: NTES) had posted yet another set of poor results in last year's third quarter, many investors would have had lost faith in the Chinese gaming giant. But the bad times couldn't have continued forever since NetEase has been continually improving its business.
Hence, the fact that NetEase delivered solid results in its recently reported fourth quarter shouldn't come as a surprise to long-term investors who knew the stock's underlying strength. Those who hadn't panicked and exited their long positions were duly rewarded, as NetEase shares jumped almost 7% after earnings and have continued their northward journey ever since.
Going forward, there's every possibility that NetEase will get better. The company is among the leaders in the booming Chinese online gaming industry, and follows a well-thought out strategy for improving revenue.
Riding WoW
NetEase is primarily known for operating Activision Blizzard's (NASDAQ: ATVI) famous World of Warcraft franchise in China. This partnership has certainly been a fruitful one for NetEase given WoW's popularity and its revenue-generation capacity.
WoW generates considerable revenue for Activision and the publisher has kept the franchise going over the years through expansion packs. Activision's user base spikes after it releases a new expansion pack for the game, and the same helps NetEase. Hence, the release of Mists of Pandaria in late October was one of the reasons behind an 11.2% jump in online gaming revenue from last year, as the game added 2.7 million subscribers in its first week.
However, interest in the game probably waned as the December quarter progressed and Activision finished the quarter with 4% fewer subscribers for WoW due to decline in NetEase's home turf. Hence, the publisher's intention of pushing out another expansion pack wasn't surprising and it plans to do so in the next few weeks. As a result, it is expected that NetEase will once again find a new WoW expansion pack pushing up its revenue in the near future.
Moving well
But NetEase isn't just relying on Activision Blizzard's famous franchise to drive revenue, as it has already been bitten in the past after the publisher decided to go with Tencent for operating Call of Duty Online in China. NetEase is highly focused on its own in-house games, and the efforts are bearing fruit.
Self-developed games, such as the recently-released Kung Fu Master and Heroes of Tang Dynasty II, drove NetEase's top line higher. Going forward, the company has lined up a number of games and expansion packs for 2013. It would provide another breath of life to some of its best performing games, such as Westward Journey Online II, Tianxia III, Kung Fu Master and many more in the coming quarters.
Apart from the above, it plans to release titles such as Heroes of Three Kingdoms, a real-time 3D action strategy game, Dragon Sword and Legend of Tibet in the second half of 2013. These efforts signal a concerted effort by NetEase to diversify its revenue sources and help it get better in the future.
Speaking of diversification, the company's advertising business has also been on the rise of late. Advertising revenue grew almost 7% in the previous quarter on a sequential basis. Although this segment contributes just 11% to NetEase's revenue, the company plans to make it better by offering better services and focusing on mobile initiatives.
The takeaway
NetEase is looking to get better through the course of 2013, and it won't be surprising if the stock continues to get better as the year progresses. What's more, potential investors don't need to pay a fortune if they intend to buy into this Chinese online gaming play. A trailing P/E multiple of just 11.5 times and a PEG ratio of less than 1 suggest that the stock is inexpensive and there's growth lying ahead. Moreover, a forward P/E of just 9.3 times is another reason why you should take a look at NetEase.
The company's focus on making its self-developed games successful and the presence of a solid, money-generating franchise such as WoW is a potent combination that should help NetEase perform better as the year progresses. What do you think?

Task Force denounces unequal treatment in Craig and Vitter scandals
Roberta Sklar, Communications Director
(Office) 646.358.1465
(Cell) 917.704.6358
WASHINGTON, Aug. 29 — Senate Republican leaders are calling for an ethics investigation into the Minneapolis airport arrest of U.S. Sen. Larry Craig (R-Idaho) in a "lewd conduct" incident in a men's public restroom. No such call was sounded by Senate GOP leaders following the scandal involving Sen. David Vitter (R-La.), who last month admitted to "a very serious sin in my past" after his telephone number appeared among those associated with a female escort service operated by the so-called "D.C. Madam." Vitter even reportedly received "thunderous applause" from Senate GOP colleagues during a policy lunch held a few days after his admission.
Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, meanwhile, has filed a complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee asking for an investigation into whether Craig violated the Senate rules of conduct. The group had filed a similar complaint in the Vitter case, but says the Ethics Committee did not respond to that request.
Statement by Matt Foreman, Executive Director
National Gay and Lesbian Task Force
"Let's see — one Republican senator is involved in soliciting sex from a man and the Republican leadership calls for a Senate investigation and yanks the rug from underneath him. Another Republican senator admits to soliciting the services of a female prostitute and there's not only no investigation but the senator is greeted with a standing ovation by his Republican peers. What explains the starkly different responses? I'd say rank and homophobic hypocrisy."
The mission of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force is to build the grassroots power of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. We do this by training activists, equipping state and local organizations with the skills needed to organize broad-based campaigns to defeat anti-LGBT referenda and advance pro-LGBT legislation, and building the organizational capacity of our movement. Our Policy Institute, the movement's premier think tank, provides research and policy analysis to support the struggle for complete equality and to counter right-wing lies. As part of a broader social justice movement, we work to create a nation that respects the diversity of human expression and identity and creates opportunity for all. Headquartered in Washington, D.C., we also have offices in New York City, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis and Cambridge.
