Minor life goal fulfilled: now that my purchases from the winter sale have arrived I finally have enough NYRB Classics to arrange them chromatically. It's only semi-successful and needs some readjustment; also, some transitions are bound to be rocky due to simple lack of properly coloured books. Clearly I should choose my next purchases based on spine colour alone.

In other news, I am so excited to read Geoff Dyer's Zona. It's a booklong consideration of Tarkovsky's Stalker!! In case the reason for anticipation is not clear: that's one of my favourite essayists on one of my favourite movies. I would have bought it already but I still have not purchased a copy of the film for myself and obviously I must watch it again before I read about it, or perhaps watch it while I read about it, keep the film playing in an endless loop for however long it takes me to get through the book (knowing Dyer: not long). But then I am reminded that I still haven't read the story, or is it a novella, that it's based on and I've always intended to do that… so I have a lot of steps between myself and Zona. At least there are things like this interview with Dyer to sate me in the interim.
BF: I have one last, utterly pointless question. In Out of Sheer Rage there's a wonderful passage about how much you hate seafood. Do you really hate seafood?
GD: Oh yeah, absolutely. There's a lot of stuff in the books that isn't true, but nothing is more to the heart than that. I really think that if I've said anything wise in the book it's that line where I say that seafood is a delicacy in the sense that you've got to cook it just right or you'll be shitting squid ink for a week.
BF: Good, because I justify my hatred of seafood by saying that Geoff Dyer hates it too.
GD: My name is Geoff Dyer and I endorse this.
"The ducks swam through the drawing-room windows. The weight of the water had forced the windows open; so the ducks swam in. Round the room they sailed quacking their approval; then they sailed out again to explore the wonderful new world that had come in the night."
—The opening lines of Barbara Comyns' Who Was Changed and Who Was Dead, which I like more than anything else I've read recently. It is a marvelous little book, beginning wonderfully with a flood and ending with a funeral; it's funny and dark and sad and delightful. Reminded me a bit of Shirley Jackson with a dash of Richard Hughes. I've just finished it and immediately I want to start over at the beginning, a rare urge for me.
Thought for the evening: I am very sick of the "What we talk about when we talk about ________" title format. It was great the first time but now it is just tiresome and derivative; anything with this title actually encourages me not to read the work because I'm shallowly contrary like that.
Here Comes the Rooster - The Morning News
(Even though I think this list is kind of horrible but what can you expect, it was a poor publishing year) I am spasming about with glee tonight. The Rooster is the most fun on the internet in March for bookish types and I've been looking forward to it for months now. I've read 7 1/2 of these already and will, of course, read the rest, even the ones that give me hives to even think about. Thoughts:
- Actually grateful for the lack of David Foster Wallace (even though I cannot believe it—along with 1Q84 and the Eugenides I thought for sure that was a shoo in). I'm not ready to read it, not sure if I ever will be. Posthumous publications—I have issues with them.
- Tea Obreht and Karen Russell? Both? At once? Ugh. How disappointing. One or the other, not both, that's my rule. They're both so overhyped—I'm fairly well convinced that they only get so much attention because they're both young and female and pretty. It's certainly not because of their stunning talent, particularly in Obreht's case. If I had to grudgingly allow one I'd go with Russell (Swamplandia! did have its moments; I think Russell might grow into a good author but for now her structure is weak and her influences too obvious) and replace Obreht with something from Open Letter or New Directions or even a NYBRC—in short, something that's actually good. That said, I predict that Swamplandia! will do well.
- Also inexplicably popular: The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt. This is a book I did not appreciate except for its potential to make a good movie someday but I won't complain too much about its inclusion—it's their token genre pick and I'm just thankful that they didn't go for the equally beloved Ready Player One (awful) or The Magician King (unreadable).
- Ann Patchett is an odd inclusion for me. I guess it fits—I'll never forget The Lacuna debacle a few years ago, and how near it came to beating the far superior Wolf Hall—as she's a similar author to Kingsolver, but I don't really think of either as "literary" or, ahem, "prizeworthy"—they're bookclub reads: acceptable quality, just edgy enough to inspire discussion, but not transgressive or interesting. (Please note: I read the Patchett and liked it just fine for what it was. I gave it to my mother. She liked it.)
- Book I was planning never to read and now feel like I must: Salvage the Bones. I know it won the NBA, usually a good indicator of quality, but everything about this looks painful and indulgent. Sure, fine, write about Katrina, but does your main character have to be fourteen, black and pregnant? That's dicey, with lots of potential for horridness. Also I remember this being billed as one of those "searing narrative voice" novels which is always a red flag. Resentment.
- I've been planning to read The Stranger's Child but was going to skip Ondaatje's newest. I can't speak with confdience having read neither, but in terms of style and historical setting and possibly even intent these seem similar enough that I think they should have chosen one or the other not both. Lots of judges will find them dull—even I find it dull, thinking of reading them, and I like this type of book. Both very safe picks, neither strong enough to win. It seems to me that they erred on the conservative this year more than others—there's no Anne Carson equivalent here.
- Previously unknown book that I'm most excited to read even though it is about WWII and has children for the main characters (a risky combination): The Last Brother by Natacha Appanah
- Should probably win but won't because its author is smarter than you (and me) and shows it and people either won't get it or will feel inferior and push it away despite its merit: The Sense of an Ending by Julian Barnes
- Will come close to winning but won't because it's just too damn long and many judges won't finish it (and also because it's either terribly written or terribly translated [who knows] for huge stretches of its considerable length): 1Q84
- Will win: Eugenides, The Marriage Plot, but only if the judges lean towards the pretentious-literate. It's such a booklover's book, tailored for anyone who's ever been young and in love with words and at a loss for how to live beneath their weight. Not to mention: love triangle, DFW-inspired character, easy to read, lots of opportunities for the reader to feel clever. I'm not sure, but I think there's a lot to relate to in this one for bookish judging types.
50 Outstanding Literary Translations from the Last 50 Years
(via Chekov's Mistress)
I have read only nine of these; ten if I can be so bold as to count Perfume, which I will probably finish tonight. I am drawn to the idea of using this as my reading list for the rest of the year—half of them are already on my epic to-read list anyway.
Every book Art Garfunkel has read since 1968
Over 1000 books in 40 years seems like a lot, but it averages out to around 25 books a year, which is reasonable for your average avid reader. I wish I had the ambition to keep track of every book I read and when I read them. There's no time like the present right?
Keeping track of what you read is fantastic; I recommend it to any reader. It's been a few years since I started writing down every book that I finish (complete with shorthand comments and a complicated, indecipherable-to-anyone-but-me rating system). I was inspired to it by the inheritance of one of my greatest treasures: my grandmother's notebook of 30 years of books. Her notebook is a beautiful portrait of her mind, and I have egotistical fantasies that some descendent of me might take something of the same delight from mine some day. Snobbish fascination with my own imaginary legacy aside, it's really invaluable to see where my brain has been—it's astounding to me how many patterns emerge when I look back on what I've read and try to remember what was going on at the time. Like tumblr itself, it provides a map of where my brain has been dwelling in any given period of time.
The only downside is that it can set up all sorts of silly expectations—it creates an awareness of a quota, of having to live up to or beat my past reading self. In the year that I started the record I went through a long illness and spent a month and a half in bed, doing nothing but reading, sleeping, and eating pancakes. In that May alone I think I read something crazy like 32 books, which set up an unreasonable standard for all following Mays—"What?! Only ten books this May?? I am a failure as a human being! My youthful intelligence has degraded into plodding mundanity!!"—but oh well, that's just neurosis. At least the apex of my literary mind—and it really was a significant time, a turning point, the time when I embarked upon my life project of being monstrously well-read—is documented.
It's not all self-centeredness! I also delight in other peoples' reading lists, like Mr. Garfunkel's above. It's one of my favourite ways to get recommendations—and, conversely, I use my book notebook for giving them. Have I sung the praises of the book notebook high enough to heaven? Good. Now everyone should go start one of their own. And then post it on the internet for me to peruse.
"We know one another, these books and I, and we can take our time with the unfolding story."
for reasons mainly sonic
"During the eight years Pnin had taught at Waindell College he had changed his lodgings — for one reason or another, mainly sonic — about every semester. The accumulation of consecutive rooms in his memory now resembled those displays of grouped elbow chairs on show, and beds, and lamps, and inglenooks which, ignoring all space-time distinctions, commingle in the soft light of a furniture store beyond which it snows, and the dusk deepens, and nobody really loves anybody."
—Pnin, V. Nabokov

"I will be celebrating a milestone birthday but didn't want that number to be the focus of the day, so as soon as I noticed this particular card and phrase, I knew I had to have it!! Card stock is great, design is classic and different exactly what I was looking for; service is wonderful and delivery quick. I would highly recommend anyone to check out this site - you'll be honestly glad you did."

Does it Really Work
It should come as no surprise that 4 out of the 10 biggest health care concerns in America involve being overweight. Heart disease, diabetes, stroke and cancer are all directly related to carrying around excess weight and millions of Americans are afflicted with these devastating diseases.
So why can't our society change these statistics around by trying to live a healthier lifestyle, eating healthier and exercising? As with many things, it's easier said than done, but maybe if you fully understand the repercussions and where you're health and life is headed if you don't change, you might be willing to start. Heart disease remains the number one killer in America, killing more people each year than all the cancers combined.
To reduce your risk of getting heart disease, you should reduce your sodium and fat intake, eat healthy and exercise. Individuals who are overweight have a higher chance of getting heart disease, and although reducing your salt intake is an easy thing to do, losing weight takes more time and commitment than most people are willing to give. Out of all the cancers, lung cancer is responsible for the most deaths in the US, but women have a higher rate of breast and colorectal cancer. Although the biggest cause of cancer is smoking, being overweight and eating unhealthy can also contribute to your chances of getting certain cancers as well.
To reduce your risk, don't smoke or quit smoking, wear sunscreen and eat healthier foods; especially more fruits and vegetables. Stroke is the third leading cause of death for women and the fourth leading cause of death of men. If you're overweight, eat unhealthy and don't exercise, you're at a greater risk for having a stroke. Type 2 Diabetes can lead to kidney disease, blindness and heart disease and once again, a major contributing factor is being overweight. If you're currently overweight and these statistics aren't enough to make you want to change your unhealthy lifestyle, then consider the burden your declining health will place on your loved ones. No one said losing weight would be easy, but if you're committed to doing it, you will greatly reduce your chances of getting one of these terrible diseases; plus you'll feel better and it will give those you care about peace of mind when you start making healthy changes in your life. There are millions of weight loss products and programs on the market today, some unhealthy and some healthy so make sure you talk to your Doctor before starting any pill, supplement or program.
Be careful in choosing any product or program that's not recommended by a trusted physician, dietician or other health care provider. An example of this is the recent recommendation of trusted and renowned Dr. Oz who endorsed Green Coffee Beans as a safe, natural and effective way to supplement a weight loss program. You can lose weight and reduce your chances of being one of the many who suffer from heart disease, diabetes, stroke and other diseases that are related to being overweight.
The first step is to make a promise to yourself that you will not be one of the statistics mentioned here; then plan a specific diet and exercise program that will work best for you, including goals and rewards along the way. See if a family member or friend will go on the program with you as having a support system will increase your chances for success. Don't be too hard on yourself while on a weight loss program. You will have good days and bad days, but the important thing is that you stick to it and realize that losing weight, maintaining weight and living a healthier lifestyle is a life-long commitment.
Talk to your Doctor about which program, diet and exercise plan is right for you. Then discuss what nutrients and additional supplements you may need or that will help you reach your weight loss goal. You can lose weight and get healthy, just as millions of others have done. Say goodbye to your unhealthy lifestyle and excess weight and hello to a brand new, healthy you!

After doing the rounds as a Dubplate for the better part of a year or so, the Midland and Pariah collaboration finally sees release on Pariah and Blawan's, Works the Long Nights imprint. There's probably not a huge amount to add - considering most of you have probably heard the tracks being rinsed for a while now. We can however all agree that it's a stomper.

Posted July 28, 2011 at 6:00 PM CST: The last two defendants from the Seneca hazing case pleaded their cases this week in a Crawford County, Kansas court.
Dalton Rainey and Dalton Cummings were both convicted of misdemeanor battery. Rainey plead guilty to one count. Cummings plead no contest to three counts.
Both were placed on probation.
The two were part of a group of older high school football players who whipped younger players with the rods from mini blinds.
The incident happened at a football camp at last summer at Pittsburg State.
Posted July 11, 2011 at 4:10 PM CST: The only teen charged as an adult in the Seneca hazing case pleads guilty to misdemeanors.
Peyton Kinslow was 18 years old when he and other members of the Seneca, Missouri High School football team were accused of hitting teammates with a curtain rod.
The incident occurred at a football camp hosted by Pittsburg State University in June 2010.
Kinslow was originally charged with six felonies, but on Monday he plead guilty to three counts of misdemeanor battery.
At least five other team members had already been convicted of misdemeanor battery in the case.
They have all been given six month suspended sentences and one year's probation.
One teen was acquitted.
All of the teens charged were removed from the football team.

After sharing her inspriations for creating ball-jointed dolls in part 1, French artist, Lillycat of CeriseDolls, shares her thoughts about tattoos, femininity, artists that inspire her, and her dreams for the future.
BJDmagazine: Your tattoos are are considered magnificent and sometimes terrifying. Do you see them that way?
Rachelle: Yes, and I am usually very happy when I read this type of commentary. One cannot please everyone, but in any case, I prefer people to be scared or to feel something, rather than feel nothing. My universe is partly childish and partly gloomy gothic. My script writer calls it Happy Dark.
BJDmagazine: Your dolls are all ultra-feminine with round hips. This is rare in the world of BJDs. Why such a different approach?
Rachelle: This is my search for the ideal body. Hips are truly a symbol of femininity, far more than breasts. It is from hips that we give life, and they are what differentiates us from men. This is why I really want to emphasize this part of our anatomy. After that, it is a question of design and balance. Very wide hips, like the ones of my new prototype, Diabolo Grenadine, work better with a small chest. It conveys the feeling of a child woman, of strong and weak at the same time. As always, it all depends on what one wants to convey. Often in the world of BJDs, figures have very stereotypical bodies for one good and simple reason: clothing. Collectors must to be able to find clothing easily. Because of this fact, doll creators have to conform to a norm that slightly limits creativity. Because my dolls are not meant to be dressed, I have more freedom to design.
BJDmagazine: For each doll you create a unique personality with a unique resin color, unique body art, and unique accessories. Why and above all how do you approach the creation of such rich and different characters?
Rachelle: What interests me is the idea, the creation of a character. Therefore, I have no interest in the act of repeating the same thing over and over. Thus, even in the case of the limited edition dolls, like Sandre which is a limited edition of 8, by changing the body work, the paints and the accessories, I feel that I am creating something new and motivating each time. From a creative point of view, it is very interesting to challenge oneself to find new ideas.
BJDmagazine: Your dolls have a moving animal quality with almost feline faces. Can you elaborate?
Rachelle: I have a passion for Monsters. Beautiful monsters in the style of Guillermo del Toro are a reference for me. Through the dolls I've created so far, I have tried to reveal the animal and wild inside us. I want characters that are both ultra-feminine, even a little erotic, and at the same time absolutely unrealistic, almost alien. And besides, I adore cats . So I'm thinking about pushing that aspect more and more in my upcoming prototypes.
BJDmagazine: What importance do you give to the eyes of the doll?
Rachelle: The eyes say something of what you have inside you. The gaze is very important. My characters' eyes are not realistic either, precisely to create that animal quality we were talking about.
BJDmagazine: Your dolls have been compared to articulated sculptures rather than "toys". What is your perception? Do you play with your creations?
Rachelle: I do not play with my creations at all, and neither do I play with any of the dolls in my collection. In fact my dolls are closer to articulated sculpture than to toys. The way they are painted makes it impractical for them to be played with. But the fact that they are articulated like a "toy" makes it possible for interaction to happen. There is no interaction with classical sculpture, whereas the BJD allows each owner to appropriate it. The same doll displayed in my house will look different in yours because you will pose her differently. That is what is amazing about BJDs. Even if it is someone else's creation, the fact that in your house you will give the doll one pose rather than another tells something about you. At times she can be hunched over, at times sure of herself, at times seductive, and at times withdrawn. And all of that can happen with the same doll!
BJDmagazine: Tell us about your experiences at the LDoll Festival Convention?
Rachelle: I found the convention very interesting. I don't leave my workshop very often, so it was a wonderful opportunity for me to meet others in the field, and to exchange ideas. I met tons of adorable people! I did not go to sell, but rather to meet people.
BJDmagazine: Your dolls are exhibited at the Galerie Alain Daudet in Toulouse. Do you have other plans to exhibit?
Rachelle: This exhibit is a wonderful opportunity and experience for me. I don't have any new plans at the moment. I would really like to work on a similar exhibit again. My dream would be to participate in an exhibit abroad, alongside the Japanese, Russian and French artists I admire, like Hisuki, Katan Amano, Lee Jaeyeon, Lidia Snul, Marina Bychkova, and Dust of Dolls.
BJDmagazine: Are you working on a new BJD? Do you have a new doll in mind?
Rachelle: Yes, I am working on three prototypes that I hope to finish soon, because I already have lots of ideas for new ones… But the days are unfortunately too short to have the time to do everything I would like to do. That's irritating! As I work on the prototypes, I am also preparing new Sandres, and new Dreamings. I would love to work on a male BJD. That would be a real challenge!

Doesn't come as a surprise to me that Blizzard is also falling to the low of using in-house employees to do pathetic voice work. A good example is the Void Reaver in The Eye. His voice has been processed to sound as a robot, but I can spot a bad voice actor there. If it's indeed a real professional, then he really ought to improve a lot. Another equally bad voice actor is the one that voiced the shouting Doomwalker in Netherwing Ledge.

The Australian men's national basketball team have upset their higher ranked Chinese hosts, 64-63, in their opening game at the 2010 Stankovic Continental Cup tonight at the Liugang Gymnasium in Liuzhou, China.
Despite playing before a rabidly pro-China crowd, Australia (ranked number 11 in the world by FIBA) came from behind to upset the number nine ranked team on their own court.
The Australian NBA duo of David Andersen and Patrick Mills teamed up to score the winning basket for Australia. With one second left to play, Mills drove to the hoop and found Andersen, who made an acrobatic lay-in.
Mills top-scored for Australia with 13 points, while Matt Nielsen added 12. Joe Ingles, Mark Worthington and Andersen all chipped in with eight points apiece. For China, it was their NBA players who shone. New Jersey Nets star Yi Jianlian had a game-high 17 points while former Dallas Maverick and LA Clipper Wang Zhizhi had 12.
Australian head coach Brett Brown - (Spurs Assistant Coach) said Mills and Andersen showed their NBA class with the final play.
"We called a time out and made sure we got the ball to Patty, and he made a great play to find David," Brown said. "David then made a difficult, skilled shot. That was just two NBA players making plays. They got us over the line."
Brown was satisfied after earning a close win first up after an uneven first half.
"The first half we were very erratic, and it was really a typical first game after a tough training camp," said Brown. "Our rhythm was just not there yet and we were very scattered. We had 11 first-half turnovers and sent China to the line 17 times because we came out a little too aggressive. That's a natural by-product of us coming off a very good training camp.
"We got down double digits twice, but to the players' credit they persevered and the second half was much better," Brown continued. "We only had four turnovers, they only got to the line eight times and I was happy with our defence in the second half. Australia outscored China 20-13 in the final period to earn the win. The Chinese led 37-28 at the half.
Australia's next game will be tomorrow night (Thursday 29 July) when they face off against powerful European team Slovenia, who are ranked 20th in the world. In the tournament's earlier game, Slovenia beat Iran 107-74 behind Primo Brezec's 13 points.
Australian 64 defeated China 63
1st Quarter – AUS 17, CHN 16. 2nd Quarter – AUS 28, CHN 37 3rd Quarter - AUS 44, CHN 50 FINAL - AUS 64, CHN 63.
Top scorers AUS – P. Mills 13, M. Nielsen 12, J. Ingles 8, M. Worthington 8, D. Andersen 8 CHN – Y. Jianlian 17, W. Zhizhi 12, L. Wei 11.
The Boxscore on the official website appears to be written by a Chinese bloke who has only had a 2 day course in English, so here are Patty's numbers

for the next piece in my 'Youth Culture and Revolt' series, I'm working on a poster for a war movie (in this case, the Vietnam War). The genre of films pertaining to the Vietnam war is rich, diverse, and influential, and the subject portrayed in those films is as complex, morally frustrating, and heart wrenching as you can get. Inspired partially by 'The Things They Carried,' my Vietnam War movie, 'Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong,' follows a young soldier's struggle with morality, sanity, the absurdity of the war itself, and the trauma of having to complete adolescence as a soldier rather than as a man.
The quote, "Baby Killer," on the helmet is from the young adult novel, 'Cracker! The Best Dog in Vietnam.' As the main character finally returns from war, emotionally and physically broken, he is met with protesters who verbally assault him. When I read this part of the book, I was enraged that this supposed pacifist lacked the empathy to be kind to someone who may well have been forced to witness the deaths of innocent children. While I certainly do not believe that the war itself was justified, I do believe that the brutalities that those who fought it endured were extremely real and they very deserving of compassion—especially because many of the soldiers in Vietnam had been drafted, and they were not truly responsible for the war.
Film poster for a series I'm doing in AP Art, on "Youth Culture and Revolt" throughout the past 60 years. Lost in Space criticizes how the generation that grew up on the space race (and benefited from a much more stable economy) views "Generation Y," a generation that has barely had time to make its mark on the world.

Exciting game. Too bad Maynor can't hit wide open layup or open 3.
The rookies did a good job. If Kobe didn't get a foul shot for every look that he misses.
Pavlovic made his first foul shot of the year. He was 0-4 for the season before tonight. I was telling my brother when he went to the line tonight that he has a chance to make his first foul shot of the year.Now, that I mentioned a stat nobody would focus or even think about, I must say it was fun watching Lillard go off tonight. The problem was our hot shooting was "fools gold" (I had to put in a Mike Rice type quote) because our defense isn't very good and Meyers Leonard looked like deer in the headlights.If I was on the Blazer coaching staff, I would serious have a sit down with Will Barton and tell him that he needs to take at least 500 shots a day during the off season from the perimeter, including 300 3-pointers a day. Barton is 7-57 from downtown this year. That's 12.3%.I know Mike Rice said it was 18% in the game tonight (that's still terrible), but it's just about 12%. For the amount he's taken, that's horrible. If Barton had any drive about getting better, nobody would have to say that to him, he would know to do that. And even if somebody did say it, he's take the suggestion seriously and maybe even expand it to at least 700 shots a day or something. Barton has a boatload of potential, but it's all going to be how he approaches it and for him to be successful, he's going to have to learn how to shoot.As for Meyers Leonard, if he's going to be a decent player in the near future, he seriously needs to watch a lot of film this summer and I hope he has some long sit down sessions with coaches on his game, especially on defense. But he also needs to learn to use his height as an advantage on offense. He his shot blocked twice that shouldn't have happened if you knew how to position his body. One of those times he was blocked, it was a footwork issue. It's one of those things where I would need to show you how, but if he had pivoted and turned his back on the defender coming at him, he would have got fouled and possibly had a 3-point play. It was on a great pass from Lillard that he botched.The 2nd time he was blocked... and BTW he was 2-4 from the field and his two misses were shots that were blocked... anyway, he jumped and brought the ball down where a defender could get his hands on it and that is where he screwed up instead of playing big and keeping the ball up and some of that is also body position. Again, it's something I would have to show you in person to fully get a picture of what needs to be done.And BTW, I used to play post when I grew up as I'm 6'7" (without shoes) and played college ball, and I grew up in an era where coaches used to do drills about footwork and spacing, etc. Then later I go to one of my nephew's basketball practices and he was coached by someone I played ball against and nobody knew how to be a post and it's been a trend as to why the center position is dying because of it. Anyway, I was just confused to why nobody thinks some of those fundamentals I grew up with are important anymore.But with Meyers, it's really, really bad. This is going to be a major project with him and that's assuming it works out, but there are no guarantees. So I admit that I have doubts that Leonard will be a good starting center in the NBA because I question his mentality out there and only he knows if he is ever going to turn that around and since I don't know him personally, it's tough to say. I only met him once at FanFest and it was weird being around someone that much taller than me since most people I meet aren't and if they are, it isn't by much.
Lakers missing one starter, Blazers missing three (including our best on-Kobe defender), and still we pushed them to the limit. There's something cooking here in PDX.@Shem: You're right about Meyers Leonard. Had he stayed in college for four years, he may have learned to play center. He has a long way to go and learning on the job in the NBA is a tough way to go. I still see him as a PF long term. --don
One more observation, if Damian got Kobe's level of respect from the refs, he'd have scored 50 and we win the game. --don
As far as I am concerned the Blazer players beat the Lakers players hands down, the refs beat the Blazers single handed. It is a shame to have the refs tarnish the game so badly. If I were a Laker player or Laker fan, I would feel I had nothing to take from this game because it was given to them. It is sad because Kobe played one heck of a game, but it the refs took over the game.
Hg: I too am not a fan of phantom fouls for prima dona stars. Kobe thinks he is entitled to a foul shot for every shot he misses. Damian was hacked regularly when he went inside. If he were Kobe he would have shot 12-15 free throws.
I agree with all of you about the refs. I am not sure how many of Kobe's points came from the line but I am guessng16-20. In our house, we have decided that the refs got word that the NBA wants the Lakers in the playoffs for cash purposes. A lot of Lakers fans out there. Too many in our house last night, hollering MVP when Kobe came to the line for the last time. Sucked! I personally wonder how the Lakers will make it. They barely beat an under .500 team that was missing three starters. HUH!I also agree with all of the above regards Leonard. He never seems to know where to be. Every once in awhile, he gives a glimpse of what his rebounding could be and then lets Steve Blake pick up two important rebounds in the last minutes. Hello...6"3 vs 7"1. Where are you?And finally, hats off to Damian Lillard. We are lucky to have you. There would not have been a season without you. Even our other starters need to watch your effort. Sucks that the refs let the Lakers beat up on you without giving you the same calls they gave Bryant. You are the best and I look forward to watching you for a long time.
Maybe next year Damian will get respect from the refs after he has earned Rookie of the Year this season!
MB,It's nice to finally be back! I watched the game and have to respect the effort that all of the rookies showed.That being said, there is still plenty of room for improvement, especially for Meyers. I agree with the fact that he's really going to have to watch a lot of film. If he's going to be a starting 4 or 5, he has to learn to go right back up with the ball after getting an offensive rebound and at least draw a foul. None of this dribbling out of the key crap.If anything, I hope Blazers management is patient with him and that Stotts gives him enough playing time to keep learning. The last thing I want to see is them pulling another Jermaine O'Neal and trading him four years later after sitting him on the bench most of the time. We ALL know how that turned out.He could be a starter for the Blazers as long as we have a defensive-minded center, i.e. Kaman, backing him up. Or, dare I say a sixth-man backing up Kaman??? Time will tell, and it's exciting. Also a shout-out to Sasha for playing an inspired game after being out for a while! Also to Victor, as I knew he'd do his best in the lineup. Luke Babbitt...I honestly don't know if it's worth keeping him for another season, but those threes were going again, so I can't complain too much right now.All in all, outstanding effort despite the loss.-Max Milander '14
I got the ultimate solution to fix these posers called Laker fan; Blazer fans need to make Laker fan nervous about being there by taunting them, pouring beer and soda on them; be like Philly fans or Raider fans, let the Laker fans know they are going to be miserable at the game. (BTW, THIS IS A JOKE!) but in all seriousness, best way to keep Laker fan away is by the Blazers beating them. Sure they will have a game like they did this one, but those are rare occasions. Keep the RG magic alive and BEAT LA!
Fantastic game. Kobe does not make me feel warm and fuzzy but he willed a bad team to a victory against a Blazer team that came to fight. I respect that.Fair weather fans viewed the game last night as another loss. The fans that follow the NBA and the Blazers closely know exactly whats brewing here. The years ahead are going to be full of excitement.Shem;My wife was handed her program at the fan fest from Meyers. She too could not believe how tall he was. She is 5'3".I entered through a different gate and was handed my program from none other than Damian Lillard. Priceless.
@Divotking: LOL We were in the same line. That's awesome. What were the chances of that? I did make it a point to say hi to Aldridge and Batum while I was there.@dgpdx: I agree more years in college would help Meyers, but at the same time he hasn't shown me he has the mentality to be great. And I really didn't find anything about him before I saw him play about his mentality that told me he's going to be great.Like with Damian Lillard, I knew he would be great. Forget the scouting videos that were very intriguing. What really stood out to me was listening to his coaches and people who knew him best about his work ethic and how he approaches things "MENTALLY". That is what sold me because it was screaming future superstar.Then to see him in videos and the things he could do and especially watching him with serious shooting range already, I was just stunned that he wasn't on a larger radar. The blessing in disguise for us is two things:1. He went to Weber St. Being from a small school like that is a big reason why he wasn't the 2nd pick of the draft (I still think Anthony Davis still goes 1st).2. Neil Olshey. He had his eye on him while he was still working for the Clippers. He made that great discovery and it just so happened that Paul Allen then later hired him to be the Blazers GM and from that point he was ours. Thank goodness he saw those things too or I would be very bitter if we never drafted him and he did that somewhere else knowing what I knew.But what's flattering from my end is how I wanted Lillard about a month before Olshey was hired. Because I still remember shortly after the regular season ended last year and about when the 1st round of the playoffs started, I called my brother one night and told him who I wanted the Blazers to draft (and sign Steve Nash to mentor him) and it was the night I learned about Lillard's mentality. He's got the mentality of a Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, etc. And watching the things he has done this season just reassures it.I mean he's not afraid of anything and he believes he will succeed and so it's not shocking that he hits shots in the clutch (which surprises me why doesn't Stotts use Lillard more in those situations like the game in Philly for example). Lillard has that "it" factor. And what's great is this is just the beginning and better days are coming with Lillard because he's not satisfied with his game.Anyway, the point is, Meyers doesn't have that strong will and confidence that will help him become great from what I'm seeing from him and it's not something that is easily learned, it's more that you're born with it. Either you have it or you don't. The good news is he will get better as he gets more comfortable, but to be an above average player in the NBA where he's a solid contributor, I'm not sold on that yet.Then there is our draft pick this June since we're not going to owe Charlotte and I know it's early and I can still browse prospects for fun and read about who would be the best fit for the team, but so far there is nobody I'm high on that I believe will be able to come in and help the team right away. In fact, anybody we get will be a project from what I can see and that also means there is no guarantees.And that can handicap us next season because of the cap hold that pick will have. At this point, I really hope we use that pick to make a trade to get a player that can help us next year. Either that, or find another sucker like Brooklyn was last year and make a trade to get a higher pick on a player we don't need for the future anymore. I seriously doubt that will happen, but it would be nice to be able to make another trade like that. And that reminds me of how bitter Brooklyn fans are about this trade now.
you can say this about one stat or that about another, but this loss comes down to one thing and one thing only: horrible officiating. there's really no denying that about last night's game. my friend and i kept a tally of missed/blown/wrong calls; the result was 21 in the Lakers favor, 2 in the Blazers favor.there's no doubt in my mind that the league -- it's commissioner in particular -- wants the Lakers in the playoffs at all costs. yes, i know that sounds like a conspiracy theory which some thing is nuts. but, here's the thing: after seeing the officials' performances the past couple games between us & the Lakers, as well as the previous night's game between them and the Hornets, how can someone possibly NOT come to that most obvious of conclusions?okies, enough of that -- for now.i thought we played hard -- especially the rookies (though, suspiciously, Joel went from possibly starting in place of LaMarcus, to not playing at all; and we certainly could have used Jared out there -- still not sure why Stotts can't see the obvious). Damian had an incredible game and i thought LaMarcus generally played pretty well, especially on the boards. Luke had it going on, but in true Blazers fashion, he got hot and we stopped getting him the ball behind the arc. among the improvements we need to make is to ride the hot hand.on Meyers, no one is saying Meyers is ready to jump right into the starting center's role right now and you certainly can't judge him by one performance when he was matched up against the best center in the league. it's all relative and we've seen enough progress over the course of his rookie season that the criticism really should be tempered with some patience.i'm not expecting much from the final four games of the season; possibly a win when the Warriors come to town. who knows, maybe they'll be in a position to rest Curry and Lee before they start their playoff series.~ KMM
I see this team taking this 13 losing streak thru beginning of next season. Were at 11 right now clippers 12 warriors 13 . Goodbye season
Hey Mike,It's been a long time. Hope everything is well with you and your family. I see that you don't respond much to the comments, anymore. Between job and family, there probably aren't enough hours in the day for you...haha. So, I'll pose some questions without expecting a response. However, maybe others could weigh in.Anyway, I was just wondering what your thoughts on perhaps adding Mayo and Will Bynum to the roster this summer. I think Mayo's around game and outside shooting would compliment Lillard extremely well. It would give Lillard a chance to play some 2 without making it mandatory every possession as it is, now, with a player like maynor.Will Bynum is a very underrated player that plays both ends of the court. He has shined in Detroit despite playing on a team that features Knight, Stuckey, and Calderon at the same position.His chemistry with Drummond and lobs to him seem like they would translate well with Meyers on the second unit. Wes could start or come off the bench as a defender that can knock down the outside shot.Him and Bynum would be pretty nasty as a defensive backcourt. Bynum has given Lillard fits with just man on man coverage, which is really saying something about his defense. Mayo and Lillard would be more of the offensive players that are both playmakers for others, as well. They'd be a pretty wicked combo, as well.The only two big acquisitions I see possibly working would be:1. Josh Smith - As crazy as it sounds, this could actually work. It would be a gamble, though, but much less of one if we could get him to sign to only a 3 year contract (doubtful). If it worked, the reward could be tremendous. If it didn't, he isn't untradable by any means especially with only 2 years left on his contract. Him and batum could be a scary combo on the defensive end.2. Nicola Pekovic - He's a real bruiser for Minnesota, and it's always nice to have a really good center. His pros are pretty obvious. However, he would slow us down even more, which I'm not really keen on. Him and Meyers, though, could provide a more contrasting duo subbing for one another.Those are some options I see possibly working.LA 2012,We might have to say goodbye to this season with the losing streak, but this season was never really about making the playoffs. It was about seeing what he have (early part of the season), development (Lillard, Batum, Meyers, ect..), and securing our pick.This likely 13 game losing streak has not only secured our lottery pick (at the 13th slot or higher, we would've had to surrender the pick because of last year's Wallace trade), it has also given us a likely 11th slot pick (Philly will probably pass us with a better record with a win over Detroit, tonight). Not only that, but it will give us a shot at the 10th slot (Toronto has won 5 of its last 6 and will pull even with us with a win in its last two games. Hence, a coin flip).It's just another way of looking at it. In my mind, the blazers orchestrated this season perfectly. We didn't allow a culture of losing to set in, while also possibly securing a top 10 pick.
The decisions to be made about current players is for the most part obvious. With exception Babbitt. He has shown he understands he is a bench player with a specific role. He may be on the cusp of blossoming. To have a rebounder with his shooting range could prove valuable. In the Stotts system Babbitt could be 10th or 11th in rotation.To find the right pieces to add to the team is a much more difficult task. I think we have an idea of what type of skill sets are needed. Finding them for the right price and personality to fit with the stars we have is the hard part.
Divotking,Agreed. Out of all the guys I mentioned, I'm most confident about Will Bynum being a great fit. His game and attitude are on point (literally...haha). It's when you factor in his price, though, where he gets really intriguing. However, I'm not so sure anymore. He's shined so well that I'm unsure of how underrated, thus underpriced, he'll be.
@Shem: You're certainly right about the mental part of being an NBA star. There have been several times I wished the Blazers could put one guy's head on another's body to make one great player. It's what's between the ears that can make a good player into a great one.Looking forward to the offseason, which will be the most important one in a while, imho. This team has a chance to improve greatly, or to be in the same position next year...--don

(WMC) - The Memphis mayor's office says it forwarded a message left on Mayor A C Wharton's Facebook page to the Memphis Police Department because contained, what was perceives as, threatening language in the post.
The post was left on the mayor's Facebook page by Scott Reed, and it identifies him as a former city employee, now retired. This follows the approval of the city's operating budget, which comes with major changes to health care premiums.
Reed's post reads:
"AC LET ME GET YOU ALONE FOR JUST 1 MINUTE YOU SOB! That goes for Flinn, Conrad, Hedgepeth, Lowery, Morrison, and Strickland! Thank all of you for f------ me and all other retirees that have put up with your bull----. I suffered the last 10 + years with no pay raise and a pay reduction and now I get f------ again! You better keep your bodyguard in your hip pocket!"
The mayor's office says it is alarmed by the message and passed it along to high-ranking members of MPD to make them aware of the situation.
"People can voice their opinions, people can say ugly things, but when it rises to the level of threatening physical harm, we cannot ignore that," mayor's office spokesman Bobby White said.
WMC Action News 5's Nick Kenney spoke to Reed, who spent 27 years on the police force. He retired in April.
"If it worries A C, I'm sorry. Now I'm worrying in a daily basis as to what I'm gonna do January 1, 2015," he said."For me it was a vent ... I was extremely mad that night."
"I'm a retired navy reservist. I'm a retired MPO; that's two careers, and now I may have to go find a third just to support my health care."
Memphis City Councilman Jim Strickland says all city employees have received a net 8 percent pay raise within the past six years: 5 percent in 2008 and 3 percent in 2009. Strickland acknowledges the 4.6 percent cut in 2011, but says it was restored in 2013.
"I understand the frustration. We only had bad choices—raise taxes or cut—to fully fund the pension," said Strickland when asked about the Facebook post. "I am more disappointed about the lack of accuracy about the facts."
Lowery is among six city councilman also mentioned in the post; all voted to pass the controversial budget.
"We have to make tough choices. Sacrifices have to be shared. In this case it was either doing this or raising taxes. We did not want to raise taxes," said Lowery.
Reed says he's not going to hurt anyone, and doesn't want anyone else to hurt anyone either.
He says he has been deeply impacted by the budget vote and is asking everyone else he knows to join him in an effort to deeply impact the city in return.
"I'm boycotting Memphis, so I don't see me running into A C Wharton anytime soon," he said.
MPD's public information officer says there is no official complaint on file.

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
Twin Oaks Students Donate Money Some Lee County kids are raising awareness about cancer and money to help survivors in south Georgia.
Twin Oaks Elementary School students Maria Cerrone and Kendall James organized a fundraiser to support the Cancer Coalition of Southwest Georgia.
They asked parents, teachers, family members, and classmates to donate one dollar or more to help fight cancer.
"It's just a wonderful thing to see young, young kids who understand that there is a need in the community and take a stand," said Emily Jorgenson of the Cancer Coalition. "South Georgia is known for our high cancer rates and it's just so cool to see you know some girls that these girls have had cancer run in their families and they're not going to sit back, they're going to do what they can to help fight it."
Twin Oaks raised nearly $700.
Maria and Kendal's class raised the most money, so their class got a got to have a Krispy Kreme doughnut and ice cream party.

How to Win Friends and Influence People: give them Chocolate Butter!
That Orange Souffle looks divine, but its of my personal belief that if you add Grand Marnier to ANYTHING it instantly becomes more delicious!
I always love Amanda's cakes, and one that goes for the Nutella flavor combination is always welcome in my house.
SunnyBlue I so agree with you. It is such a great gift. I was so wowed by the recipe I posted it on my facebook and my brother made it for me for my birthday (so sweet!) I just enjoyed some last night on crusty French bread. It's so divine.

Vivienne Westwood Video Rating: four / five
where is the rest of the video?
I liked both top comments …
Vivienne Westwood is an icon, and to call her a bitch is disrespectful
its so offbeat and things dont match wich makes it perfect
She's an absolute inspiration for anyone desiring a career in fashion.
I know I'd love to follow in similar footsteps to hers.
this bitch knows what shes talking about . x
OOH can someone upload the entire thing?
where is the rest!!!!: )
I really liked your video. If you need any help getting your channel/video exposed I use a site called Tubeviews . Net It has really done wonders for me.

CHICAGO – The Cowboys were no match for the Bears' offense on this Monday night. There were tons of highlight plays from Chicago, led by their passing game.
Typically, the hidden plays that go unnoticed are subtle, but since the Bears scored six touchdowns, even a few of them might make it to the list of plays that changed the course of Monday's 45-28 outcome.
1. First Third-Down Conversion – The Cowboys had delivered an early message with an impression touchdown drive. And with the Bears on their heels to start the game, Dallas had a shot to get off the field with a third-and-10. But Alshon Jeffrey was able to make a tough catch in front of
2. McCown's TD Scramble – Touchdowns usually don't make the list, but this one was big and perhaps forgotten in the middle of so many Chicago scores. But with the game tied 7-7 early in the second quarter, the Cowboys forced the Bears into a third-and-goal from the 7. With
3. Temporary Injury – The Cowboys trailed 17-14 but were looking for points before halftime.
4. Murray for 1 yard –
5. Interception Nullified – Trailing 27-14 in the third, the Cowboys had a shot to either make a stop or better yet, get the ball. On third down and 10 at the Bears' 25,

We absolutely adore our Harry and are so thrilled to have him in our family!
He is full, full, full of energy, love, and excitement about everything he does...a natural reminder to enjoy life and let the little things go!
Garlic and Onion Biscuits Recipe
This is the first time I've cooked garlic and onion biscuits and they turned out so, so yummy that I had to post it so I could make it again! (Random recipes on papers floating around my kitchen keep getting lost...)
I've been experimenting with breads that have no sugar in them. Biscuits seemed like a safer place to start than other recipes, though I did use white flour to help with the texture. Plus...these are perfect for biscuits and gravy!!
4 cups flour
8 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
2 eggs
about 1 1/3 cup water
2 huge cloves of garlic, crushed (about 2 1/2 tablespoons)
1/2 large onion, chopped
about 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese
Mix all the ingredients together and knead a few times. Roll out to about 1/2 inch thick and use the back of a butter knife to cut 24 "rolls." Cook at 450 degrees for 9 minutes. Like any baking powder biscuit, do not overcook!
This recipe was born from...
1- a need to make biscuits without sugar...the original recipe I used did not have the last three ingredients, used milk instead of water, and called for 1/4 cup sugar. Our family has had some interesting sugar restrictions lately, so I needed to make some changes. Normally, I'd use almond milk, but we ran out and I don't like running to the store for one thing. :)
2- a love of garlic and onion flavored stuff! Swapping the sweet for savory was a natural move!
So, let me know if you try it!! We're serving ours with mashed potatoes and gravy...if I can get everyone to leave the biscuits alone for ten more minutes!!

Happy Birthday Ryleigh!
Sometimes everything lines up just how I want it and my blog captures so much of our daily adventures. Other times...not so much. This is one of those times. I realized I have not blogged about birthdays at all this year...and we've already had three! So, hopefully I can give each of them their own post very soon! We'll start with Ryleigh...
Ryleigh turned one year old at the end of January!

Topaz Mountain
There is a fabulous place in Utah called Topaz Mountain. Six or seven million years ago, a volcano erupted and formed a huge rhyolite deposit. As the rock formed, topaz (a semi-precious gem) also grew. We had a ton of fun with the kids and their aunts and uncles one day hunting for topaz. You can break open rhyolite to find topaz or you can spot it in washes and dried riverbeds...especially after a good storm! A big thanks to my mom for taking pictures after my phone died!
And here's a link for more information about Topaz Mountain: http://geology.utah.gov/utahgeo/rockmineral/collecting/topaz.htm
Happy Spring!!
We decided to take some Spring pictures of the kids last week. I was going to make them all wear Sunday clothes, but Harry really wanted to be Superman. It just fits him perfectly, so we went with it! Then, of course, Kaia wanted to be a princess and Ryleigh wanted to wear a tutu. It turned out to be a lot of fun...even if I ended up planting fruit snacks on Ryleigh's tongue to keep her happy. :)

Hosted by Karina Luke, Executive Director at Book Industry Communication Ltd, (BIC) the book industry's supply chain organisation, this session focusses on the challenges and opportunities in the digital supply chain, with particular emphasis on adaptation, technology, and how to remain relevant in a changing environment.

Welcome and introduction to the Digital Supply Chain – it's not magic!
Karina Luke, Executive Director, BIC.
Session 1
Children's digital books – the challenges, and opportunities regarding technology, workflows, business models, and users' expectations.
Patrick Crowley, Digital Marketing Manager, ePubDirect
Session 2
Adapting and changing business models to remain digitally relevant
Simon Pallant, IT Services Manager, Gardners will talk us through the rationale, benefits and challenges, behind their Hive project
Session 3
Print-on-Demand - arguably the age of permanent availability for mono printing, but what about colour and children's books?
Panel discussion with: Jean Roberts, Business Development Director, PrintOnDemandWorldwide.com
These friendly, informal events allow ample time for questions and discussion, followed by drinks and an opportunity for further networking and discussion. The seminar fee is £46.00 for members of the Publishers Association or EDItEUR, and £92.00 for non-members (and a special fee of £15.00 for postgraduates from other universities).

I only have two penguin stamps in my whole collection (really?) and they are both from Lawn Fawn's "Critters in the Snow" set. Since they appear to be a parent and a baby penguin, I paired them up with a sentiment from one of the new OWH fundraiser sets, "Lil Hoot" (Hero Arts), to make a general card for a soldier to send home to one of his/her kids. It skews a little girly with the heart patterned paper (Colorbok), but I think it would make a younger boy pretty happy too. I'm working on one or two more penguin cards that I will hopefully finish in time...and I will post them when they're finished!
Oh yeah...and the penguins are colored using Copics...not Spectrum Noir markers...but that's a post for another time. Thanks for stopping by and I'd love to hear your comments!

News from the Library...
A new genealogical database, World Vital Records, has been added to the Resources list. This particular resource can be accessed from home with your library card number.
The Newspaper and Yearbook Digitization Project is moving forward. The Library is currently working on organizing the 100+ years of newspaper digital files that will be available for browsing from the website in the near future.
The Summer Reading Program - Paws to Read is winding down. Children and Teens can STOP COUNTING MINUTES ON JULY 25TH. Reading Logs can be turned in for prizes and Raffle Tickets (also for consideration as a Top Reader ) through 6pm on Friday, AUGUST 1ST. The Grand Prize winners will be drawn and announced during the week of August 4-8. Check the Online Calendar for Upcoming Fall Events!
The Library has purchased a Collection of ReadAlong Packs for JF Readers (~Grades 2-6). These are geared for Reluctant or Slower Elementary School Readers. They cannot be placed on Hold nor will they be shared with outside libraries, so there will always (hopefully) be some on the shelf in Juvenile Fiction, by the Holiday and Juvenile Graphic Novels. Each ReadAlong Pack includes an audiobook set and the corresponding published book, so the kids can follow along in the book with the audio. There are ~20 on the shelf now and we'll be adding 20 more this next month, plus a new title each month after that. Many of these are popular titles such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid & Dork Diaries series titles, but we've also purchased some award winners such as The One and Only Ivan.

Hah! I was reading about the whole 'Rob Ford doesn't understand why being accosted by satirist television crews doesn't rate a quicker response from the police' issue, and people were asking "well, how would you feel if it happened to you" and "lets see how you'd like this happening to you!"
Um, if I got a meet and greet with Marg friggin' Delahunty someone WOULD be calling the police…and it would probably be her. She's fucking awesome, screw you Ford.

Remember the Path out Of Poverty!?
Lugwardine Primary School did. In fact, they were so inspired by their peer's presentations on it that they decided that helping children get to school would be a priority of theirs for the autumn term.
Nelson Mandela once said that education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world. Unfortunately, getting an education is a constant battle for those living in poverty- for example, catching malaria in Malawi would not only cost your parents an entire week's wages in medication (£4.89) but it would also mean missing school for that week too. This means that keeping up with school work and paying for lunch, books and uniforms becomes increasingly difficult and it is all too often easier to forgo school for an extra family income.
Concern Universal's projects in Malawi help children get to school by removing barriers to education; improving health care, nutrition and family incomes as well as saving valuable time spent collecting fire wood and water. Did you know that the average distance that women walk in Africa and Asia is around 4 miles!
With all of this new knowledge pupils at Lugwardine Primary School got busy crafting piggy banks of pencils, school books and badges and filled them up all the spare change they could find, raising valuable money for items such as malaria nets, drought resistant seeds, fuel efficient stoves, goats, toilets AND clean water! We are delighted to announce that these individual efforts raised a fantastic £395.13 to help other children exercise their right to education!
