SOUTH HOLLAND | Miraculously, the ball found Rashaad Alexander.
"Thank you," he thought as he caught it. "Thank you, God."
A senior guard for Times No. 2 Thornwood, Alexander was already on his way back up to bank in what would be the winning basket in an improbable, 52-51 win Friday over Lincoln-Way Central. Alexander came from the high spot along the left side of the lane to corral teammate Chelby Frazier's missed free throw.
"I went right through the middle," Alexander said. "The ball hit the rim, I ran my fastest speed, the ball came my way, I got the layup."
The SouthWest Suburban Red-leading Thunderbirds (16-4, 9-0) got more than that while sneaking past the Knights (10-10, 3-6) to win for the seventh straight game.
"We got lucky," coach Paul Slavich said.
Thornwood was perhaps a little nonchalant, coming off a Tuesday overtime win at district rival Thornton. Inattentive on defense, the Thunderbirds let Brad Buss — the only Central player with a field goal for the game's first 20 minutes — torch them for 20 first-half points on 7-of-11 shooting, including 3-of-5 from 3-point range.
The 6-foot-6 swingman finished with 31 points and 10 rebounds, hitting 6-of-9 3-p0inters.
"We knew coming in he could play, he could shoot," Slavich said. "It was kind of like watching the radar screen — you know the thunderstorm is coming, but …"
Slavich also predicted a Thunderbirds let-down after the Thornton win.
"We talked about a hangover," he said. "I don't think our energy was there, or our focus.
"The guys have to understand everyone's coming to get us now."
Behind Bass, Central led by as many as six points, last with less than a minute left in the third quarter.
Two free throws from Kaliph Fagan (13 points) and a 3-pointer from Alexander (11 points) made trimmed the Central advantage to 39-38 heading into the final period. The lead was still one when Bass fouled out with 3:27 to play.
The lead changed hands five times the rest of the way. Each time Thornwood claimed it came on an Alexander bucket.
With 1:21 left, Alex Parks gave Central a 51-49 lead with a 3-pointer for the last of his 12 points. Over the next 77 seconds, Thornwood missed a 3-point attempt, Central a free throw and the teams committed two turnovers each.
After Central's missed free throw with 8.8 seconds left, a Knights player inexplicably fouled Frazier at the 4.1 mark. Frazier made the first free thow, and the second caromed to Alexander for the winner.
"Right in his hands," Slavich said. "Uncontested, wide-open for a layup.
"The ball bounced our way."

Fisherman's Fund Sues ADF&G For Fishing Hours
The Cook Inlet Fisherman's Fund is suing the Alaska Department of Fish and Game for "unnecessarily and inappropriately [keeping] the fishermen from fishing in violation of the management plan."
The suit claims that Commissioner Cora Campbell is playing favorites with the fisheries, opening some in accordance with the management plan, but denying others; specifically, commercial set net fishermen.
They state: "The Commissioner has decided to once again ignore the Plan and unilaterally manage the fishery under her own terms. As in 2012, this practice is again resulting in millions of lost dollars to CIFF's permit holders. CIFF members have only fished a total of 28 extra hours this season."
We spoke with Jeff Regnart, Director for Commercial Fisheries, about the suit…
Regnart: "There has been a suit filed. There was a motion two days ago, and a complaint, I think, filed today."
The Fisherman's Fund say they wrote to the Commissioner, demanding additional openings, but were denied, and so began pursuing a lawsuit. We asked Regnart if there will be any changes as a result…
Regnart: "No. We're managing as we did last week, yesterday, this morning."
Regnart was reluctant to comment further, since he hasn't yet read the suit.
In excerpts obtained by the KSRM News Desk, the suit explains: "It is important to note that the Management Plan states that the Department shall close all three fisheries if the projected run is below 17,800 kings. It may not restrict to catch and release. It may not close the fishery to drift or set gillnet fishermen. Its only options are to leave the fishery open or close the entire fishery."
Repeated requests to speak to Commissioner Campbell have been denied.

TEMPTU PRO's Pro Transfers graced the skin of many celebrities in 2011, but none as crafty and classy as our number 2 TEMPTU PRO Moment. #2 TEMPTU PRO Custom Pro Transfers used to create Martha Stewart's Spellbinding Sorceress costume. Click HERE to read the whole story about our team up with the famous Queen of Crafts.
One look at Martha's entrancing costume banishes any belief that practicing the art of magic means looking like a wicked witch. Here, full-on glamour takes the place of green skin and a wart covered face. For the finishing touch to her Spellbinding Sorceress costume, Martha Stewart came to TEMPTU PRO to design her special custom tattoo star headdress.
This week's issue of New York Magazine (4/19/10) features the latest trend hitting the streets in the feature "The Bazaar's New Beat" featuring tribal and ethnic style. TEMPTU PRO artist Christopher Milone did the tribal body art and beauty makeup using TEMPTU PRO in Dura and S/B.

Evelyn Lozada has a message for Chad Johnson ... wait, no she doesn't ... 'cause she doesn't ever wanna speak two words to her ex-husband ever again.
The "Basketball Wives" star had just arrived at LAX yesterday when we asked if she had spoken with Chad since Monday's arrest ... stemming from the time he attacked her last year.
But Evelyn -- who immediately divorced Chad after the incident -- told TMZ ... she doesn't want anything to do with the ex-NFL star ever again.
No relationship. No communication. No nothing.
She DOES say she wishes him the best. Sure she does.
Evil Evelyn
I don't think he really cares. Wait, I'm sure he welcomes her silence.
her mama so bald i can read her mind
Chad had a career before he got with this ghetto skank. Stupid man. Lost everything for her. Can't say I feel too sorry 4 him.
Lozada is a money hungry hoe
Evelyn should b mad @herself for marrying Chad in the 1st place ..#attentionwhore
"No relationship. No communication. No nothing." BUT KEEP SENDING ME MY HUGE ALIMONY CHECKS.
Slow news day, eh?
Just puzzles me wasnt she just holding hand after the divorce a his family gathering plus she stayson twitter talking to his daughter. One thing a cant stand is a messy bit@H
Funny how she wants nothing to do with Chad after taking his money! Can you say "Money grubbing w.....e"
She is lying right threw her teeth.. Thats why the same day they posted about the warrent for Chad's a arrest she saved Perez Hiltons tweet to her favorites.
Why is she famous? For banging athletes? Sad America we live in now
Sounds like she has got all the money out of him that was available and now she does not want anything to do with his stupid ass.
I wish she would just disappear! *clicks heels 3x*

Lynch School faculty expand the theory and advance the practice of English-language learning.
Research professor and director of the Center for International Higher Education, Philip Altbach, writes that creating a grading mechanism for Indian universities from scratch, particularly in a large, complex, and a disorganized system, is a massive challenge.
A team led by Associate Professor Patrick Proctor has been awarded a three-year, $1.47 million grant from the US Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences to develop a program to support Spanish-speaking students as they acquire linguistic awareness and other skills that can help them learn English.
Keating Chair Mary Walsh and colleagues published a 10-year study in the American Educational Research Journal, focusing on how addressing out-of-school factors in high-poverty schools produces dramatic improvement in student grades and long-term academic success.

25th Anniversary Palm Springs International Film Festival in 2014
The Tribeca Film Festival is New York City's most notable film festival, and the recent 2013 festival had quite a few fascinating and innovative films to watch. The film festival, which ran from April 17-28, had a good selection of drama, comedy, website, documentary, animation and shorts. This increasingly popular film festival draws both locals from New York City and visitors from all over the world. Some of the popular films featured at the 2013 TFF included Lenny Cooke, directed by Josh and Benny Safdie, a documentary about the challenges faced by young basketball players aspiring to make it to the NBA. Mistaken For Strangers, directed by Tom Berninger, is a concert film that follows the rock group The National on tour. The Motivation is a documentary made by Adam Bhala Lough that reveals the subculture of street skating. These are just a few of the films that were well received at this years TFF. Some of these films are available to watch online or may eventually be released on DVD. One of the highlights of this year's festival was the closing, which featured a screening of The King of Comedy and appearances by director Martin Scorcese and star Robert DeNiro.

We purchased two of these sinks for our master bathroom. Our vanity cabinets and mirror frames are dark cherry (almost mahogany). The granite we bought is called "Shivakashi" which is tan/beige and cream with sporadic waves/slashes of a deep burgundy red/chocolate cherry (and we were lucky enough to find a slab with lots of the deep red waves). The combination of the dark wood and light granite along with this very elegant, deep red sink makes our bathroom look like a 5 star hotel. The crowning glory has got to be the waterfall faucet. It's just so, so unique. I think anyone would be hard pressed finding this kind of style anywhere for this kind of price. The sinks arrived well packed and in perfect condition within 2 days of purchase. I read in a review of the round version of this sink to make sure the faucet is placed back far enough so that it doesn't hit the drain cap directly. (I see the other reviewer of this sink read it too.) I was glad I read that prior to having the granite cut because I can tell that there would definitely be a splashing problem otherwise. You also have to be careful that the cut for the faucet isn't too far back either or water will splash over the back of the sink while you're washing your hands. Obviously I recommend this sink.
This sink is absolutely gorgeous and the waterfall faucet is an added plus. One thing to watch for is when installing the faucet, make sure the water does not hit directly on the "pop-up" or water will splash out. The reason for the 4 stars is that the color in the picture is very vivid while the actual product is not as bold; however, it will work with my colors. Also, the bowl was not level on the bottom so we had to create a larger hole for the sink to "sink" into a bit. Otherwise, great bargain and really adds an elegant and modern touch to our main bath. I can't wait for company to see what they think of it. I love it!
My husband and I bought these for our master bathroom and the colors were all wrong. Instead of orange red and black they were maroon and gold. Not what we wanted at all. The bottoms of the sinks looked really bad as well. Overstock returned them and we purchased new sinks same manufacture different color and they are wonderful!
I love the color of the picture shown on the site. However, it's not as red as I would have like for my tween daughter bathroom. Can't comment if it works great or not haven't had the chance to use over a period of time. For now would recommend to a friend. The feel of the quality seems wonderful, again haven't had the chance to really use over a period of time.

U.S. Senate Democrats said the Federal Reserve's decision to weigh further restrictions on banks' trading and warehousing of physical commodities is insufficient and too late.
The Federal Reserve is asking for public input on whether to put restrictions on banks' trading and warehousing of physical commodities amid lawmaker scrutiny of potential conflicts of interest and market manipulation.
U.S. and global regulators should harmonize rules on derivatives to prevent financial risks from migrating to the least-supervised economies, said Michael Gibson , senior associate director of the Federal Reserve.
Patrick Parkinson, the Federal Reserve's head of bank supervision, plans to retire on Jan. 1, to be replaced by Michael Gibson, a deputy director in the division of research and statistics, the central bank said.
U.S. financial regulators are looking at specific non-bank financial companies to possibly designate them as systemically important and subject to more rigorous supervision, said Michael Gibson, director of the Division of Banking Supervision and Regulation at the Federal Reserve Board.
Civic leaders in El Monte, California, saw the Transit Village development planned for land around the bus station as a way to revitalize downtown.
The Federal Reserve may consider limits on bank ownership and trading of physical commodities out of concern that an event such as an oil spill could undermine financial stability.
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission proposed expanding scrutiny of how brokerages handle trillions of dollars in client assets in a measure that reflects the enduring regulatory impact of Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme.
"We need to take additional actions to promote regulatory cooperation among home and host supervisors in the event of the failure of an internationally active, systemic financial firm."
- Michael Gibson on May 15, 2013

He Leadeth Me: Lessons in Belief and Obedience
- Thursday, September 03, 2009
He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
O words with heav'nly comfort fraught!
Whate'er I do, where'er I be
Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.
He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
By His own hand He leadeth me;
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.
Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom,
Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
By waters still, over troubled sea,
Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me.
Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,
Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.
And when my task on earth is done,
When by Thy grace the vict'ry's won,
E'en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.

dual booting xp and windows 7
i was reading the thread @ Dual Boot Installation with Windows 7 and XP and i was wondering in method 2 where it 'If Windows 7 will not start up when selected, then use your Windows 7 installation DVD to do a Startup Repair',. My question is, after following the steps that are outlined in the thread, how likely is it that windows 7 will start up? the reason being that i do not have a copy of windows 7 as it was pre-installed on my laptop and didnt come with the laptop.Thanks

If you save externally a Windows 7 Backup Image then you can simply reimage your HD in 20 minutes to return to where you are now.
With that and the Repair CD you have no worries about not having a Windows 7 install DVD.
However be on the lookout for one so you have in the future the option to clean reinstall Windows 7 without the factory bloatware which comes pre-installed on a new computer: re-install windows 7

I know next to nothing about gaming----
But, I'd say you are heading down the wrong path regarding a dual boot for "backup in case one OS becomes faulty", although I"m not saying it can't be done.
Dual boot won't help if you have a drive failure.
If you don't have a drive failure, the path of least resistance for an OS failure is to repair it, restore it from an image, or in the worst case do a reinstall. Win 7 is generally more stable and secure than XP and barring an over-riding reason, you are better off with it.

thanks for the advice much appreciated, however windows 7 will be my major partition probably 200gb space, whereas xp will be 20gb. you are right thought, its a shame i have to do this, i didnt want to go through all this trouble of dual booting but the company that supplies these particular games cannot or do not want to make drivers that will support the latest version of windows (7). so what can a person to do apart from improvise a little? oh btw if i create a sytem image will there be any need of buying a copy of windows 7? thanks

Type Create a Repair disk in Start Search bar. Click it.
A window opens as in below picture.
This is a repair option/boot disk to access Windows- NOT A FULL REPAIR disk.
You can't do a repair install as you would do with a retail Windows disk.
It won't do this from the disk you will be making. System Repair Disc - Create
In your case you have to use the Recovery disks I hope you already made.
This will get you into Windows to run all other tool items a retail disk will.
Make this disk.
Mark it and sleeve it so you remember what it is 3 months down the road and it isn't scratched.
Also I have XP dual booted per Method Two myself. It works fine.
I use it for NON compatible older games and other software.
It makes this without the download and it is made for and on your version of Win 7.

Strawberry Shortcake
I am looking for some suggestions or comments regarding Strawberry Shortcake. I am going to be hosting brunch a few times in the next few weeks and am toying with the idea of serving it. There are a few variations that I have been looking at, but I can't make up my mind. They are all a bit different....
Option 1: Strawberry Shortcake made with Angel Food Cake (and mascerated fresh strawberries & whipped cream)
This was my first idea, but it would involve the purchase of an angel food cake pan, which I would rather not buy since I really do not have much room for storing various novelty baking dishes.
Option 2: The Strawberry Shortcake from Rustic Fruit Desserts
This sounds good and I'm guessing it is a more traditional strawberry shortcake. The cakes contain regular white flour but also cornmeal and have a sugar coating. You cook them on a baking sheet and then cut the cooled biscuits in half to assemble the dessert. Has anybody made this? I think because I have only had strawberry shortcake with angel food cake and pound cake, I'm having a hard time imagining it made with a biscuit containing cornmeal.
Option 3: Strawberry Shortcake with Chiffon Cake
This option, like the above two would have strawberries and whipped cream. I would use the Tartine chiffon cake recipe and would make it in a nine-inch square baking pan stead of a 10-inch springform. The benefit of this recipe is that I can have strawberry shortcake similar to in option 1, but I would not have to buy another pan.
Option 4: Tartine's Summer Fruit Trifle
This isn't Strawberry Shortcake, but it's pretty close. Has anybody made this? It looks very good and uses the same chiffon recipe as in Option 3. A few things are holding me back: I would *want* to buy a trifle bowl or at least a glass pyrex bowl to assemble it in, and I might actually need to buy a springform pan. Another thing holding me back is that it looks like a lot of work to make something that (1) might be too big to be eaten by the four of us at brunch and (2) might not keep well enough to eat later. I'd be so sad to throw out half of it the next morning after it is soggy and gross. At least with the above three options, I don't have to assemble everything right away and leftovers can be eaten the next day.
And while I'm at it, has anybody made the Bavarian from Tartine? How does that compare to a Trifle? They seem VERY similar.
Thoughts? I wish I could make all four, but the best I can do is probably to try two of them.
Option 2 is actually the most traditional strawberry shortcake, even though you have never had it before. I've never made one with cornmeal though, but it would add an interesting texture. One thing that I love about the individual biscuits is that they are easy to serve and look so nice. I cut mine in half, put the macerated strawberries on top followed by a good dollop of whip cream. After I put the top on, I add a small dollop and choose a pretty piece of a strawberry (or a whole one if they are small) to put on top of the cream. It always makes my guests ooh and aah when I serve them. I have used many different recipes over the years -- from cream biscuits, to Nick Malgeri's very easy food processor method, and they are always a hit.
re: roxlet
That does sound very pretty!
I've really come to love shortcake made with a biscuit type dough, though I've never made one that included cornmeal. The last few I made were using a Cream Biscuit to which I added some Meyer lemon peel and a good sprinkle of sugar on top. Everyone liked the flavor whether I topped it with strawberries or my particular favorite, peaches. (They cannot be made far ahead however or the biscuits loose their wonderful texture.)
re: escondido123
This recipe also uses a judicious amount of lemon peel, and I think even some orange.
A "shortcake" is by definition a buttery biscuit. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortcake. Strawberry, whipcream concoctions served on angel food, sponge, or chiffon cakes may be delightful, but they are not "strawberry shortcake." So, only Option 2 is in fact a recipe for strawberry shortcake. I am a huge fan of a traditional strawberry shortcake so I'd go with option no. 2 or some other biscuit like base (e.g., without the corn meal). And, if you are concerned about leftovers, in lieu of making one large biscuit, you can make smaller individual biscuits, which makes it easier to freeze and store any left over.
re: masha
Thanks for the recommendations. I was only really only concerned with leftovers if I made the a trifle, but it's definitely good to know that the biscuits will freeze well.
I'm leaning towards making the authentic strawberry shortcake first. I think I'll save the trifle until I know that there will be more than four people eating it.
Would you be skeptical of the cornmeal? It's not a huge amount and other things I've made from the book (Rustic Fruit Desserts) have been good.
re: megmosa
I'm a hardcore shortcake traditionalist - biscuit and biscuit ONLY!! - but the cornmeal addition sounds delicious. That sounds like a recipe I'd love to have myself, so I guess I need to look for that book. I've made several things with cornmeal added, such as pizza crust, and it always lends a very nice flavor and texture.
Hi Megmosa, while I have never used a recipe to make strawberry shortcake, option #2 has always been my approach to it. One thing that I have always liked to add is strawberry ice cream. It always adds a lot to the dish and I know it is one of my dads favorites.
I made a half batch of the Strawberry Shortcake from Rustic Fruit Desserts last night and liked it but was not in love. Next time I might try a recipe without cornmeal to see how it compares, as I can't decide if I like the texture with cornmeal or not. I'd definitely make this again though, as the shortcakes are so so easy to make and overall the dessert was very good. I had some left over shortcake today with raspberry fruit preserves that I got last week at the farmers market. Delicious!
re: megmosa
We often use a scone type biscuit for shortcake, the richer dough sets off the fruit well. Since the scone/biscuit is sweeter than a traditional biscuit I put less sugar in the whipped cream.
I'd definitely go with a traditional biscuit shortcake. I use this Cook's Illustrated recipe, using the food processor instructions in the opening notes of the recipe%3
Most of the time I just cut them into squares instead of using a biscuit cutter to save having all the leftover scraps of dough. And I've also made them a day or two in advance, stored them in a ziploc bag, and then reheated a little while before serving to restore the outer crustiness of the biscuit.
re: gmm
My go to shortcake recipe is very similar, but with heavy cream. Sometimes I go with a coarser sugar to sprinkle over the top. Also, I don't bother with biscuit cutter. I just divide the dough equally, form into rough circles on the baking sheet. More rustic looking, like a scone. Freezes well, and as gmm noted, reheats well.
Once you try a cream biscuit shortcake, you'll never go back to those "cakey" versions.
Haven't had traditional style strawberry shortcake with cornmeal in the biscuits. I use Angel Biscuits recipe and that works well. Also lets you make the dough the night before and biscuits freeze reasonably well - at least well enough for another round of strawberry shortcakes.
re: Lisbet
Here are two very good spots to look. From my research, I find that most recommendations are for a hot milk sponge recipe for fruit and pudding fillings.
re: Lisbet
Then please, please, PLEASE (said the grumpy old guy), call it Strawberry Sponge Cake, because Shortcake it simply is not!
re: Will Owen
Amen, Will.
OK. I'm another "traditionalist" when it comes to strawberry shortcake, and it's so damn hard to find! I almost never order strawberry shortcake at a restaurant anymore because of this. Anyway somebody mentioned cream biscuit upthread - can you use any cream biscuit recipe? I remember making cream biscuits for Thanksgiving a couple years back and it was super easy - I didn't even THINK that I could use that for strawberry shortcake.
re: uwsister
Of course you can use any biscuit at all, though I think I'd avoid the canned ones! I also would not use any yeast-raised ones, since a proper short bread is not only high fat but soda-raised as well. My own choice, mentioned above somewhere, is to NOT use cream biscuits because a cream biscuit with cream on top is to me too much of a muchness, one of very few exceptions to my firm belief that "Too Rich" is a nonexistent category. If your tastes run otherwise then go for it.
re: Will Owen
Thank you - I think "too rich" is something I am willing to try!
re: uwsister
You can use any cream biscuit recipe, but I go toward the ones that have some sugar in them. As I mentioned, I put Meyer lemon zest in it and loved it, I also thought a little ginger would be great.
re: escondido123
I much prefer the cream biscuit style to cake style.
I did a modified version of the Fannie Farmer method recently (apparently originally a James Beard recipe). The interesting thing about it is that it doesn't have you cut any butter / solid fat into the dry ingredients. You mix heavy cream into the dry ingredients, knead it, then dip the final biscuit in melted butter before baking. The result is good, and not having to spend time cutting in the fat actually does speed up the process a bit.
I did a vegan version, which came out really well - I used homemade cashew cream for the "cream", and just dipped briefly in melted Earth Balance. Obviously, it would be better with butter, but I thought it came out really well. even so.
The Fannie Farmer recipe is similar to this one.
I'll also sing the praises of biscuits. Angel food cake is too sweet for my tastes. But I do want to point out that last year, I made strawberry shortcake "sliders" as a dessert for a BBQ, so they could be hand-held, and they were really, really popular. You don't want to pile thinly sliced strawberries on - keep them mostly whole unless they're huge. I could dig up the recipe if you wanted something more casual at some point.
I'm going to mention something a bit off-the-wall here, but really not offtopic at all: a long-gone and deeply missed cafe in my home town had as its summertime centerpiece a very special strawberry pie. This consisted of a good rich flaky crust, baked and cooled, into which was put a mixture of whipped cream and sliced, sugared strawberries. These pies were kept at the bottom of the cooler behind the counter, where they'd stay cold enough to firm up nicely, but not freeze. All the other pies (also made from scratch) sold for 15¢ per slice, more or less the universal price for pie in 1950s Illinois, but the strawberry was a quarter. They still ran out every day by mid-afternoon.
In loving memory of Tom's Cafe in Marshall, Illinois, and of Bill Koutsoumpas, Tom's son, who kept the place going probably much longer than he could afford to, I hereby resolve that this year's first shortcake will instead be a Tom's Strawberry Pie.
I like a hot biscuit with a little sugar in it out of the oven and split and a 1/2 inch cut of good vanilla ice cream(home made if you can) and macerated strawberries and whipped cream.
I've used rich buttery pound cake in lieu of shortcake and it has worked very well. Plus, I add a dash or two of Grand Marnier to my strawberries while they macerate.

Earlier this week I started a series that took a look at some SportsVu data in regards to the Pelicans. The series started with a look at movement and possession on Monday, shifted to passing and defense on Tuesday, moved to rebounding and drives on Thursday and now concludes with a look at two different categories of shooting— catch and shoot and pull ups.
Just a reminder, this data is publicly available for the first time this season so we don't exactly know how much predictive value on a season to season basis but it does help us learn a bit about things this season at least.
Catch and Shoot:
As has been well documented already, the Pelicans stunk at shooting the ball during the 2013-2014 season. Part of this was due to the fact that two of the team's best shooters, Ryan Anderson and Jrue Holiday, missed large chunks of the season due to injuries, and part is due to the fact that the roster really didn't have enough floor stretching threats.
With Holiday and Anderson out the floor spacing duties fell mainly upon two players, Anthony Morrow and Eric Gordon and it showed in catch and shoot numbers.
Morrow led the team with 289 points off catch and shoot opportunities, 31 more than Gordon despite playing about 12 minutes less per game. The two were the only Pelicans who finished in the top 100 in the league in total catch and shoot points, a big problem for a team whose best player operated at the rim. Without legitimate threats to space the floor, life on Anthony Davis was made much harder, which makes his incredible season even more impressive.
Luckily some of the issues seem fixable. In his 22 games played, Anderson averaged 8.9 catch and shoot points per game, a number that would have been good for second in the league and 2.7 made catch and shoot three pointers per game, a number that would have been tops in the league.
The other encouraging thing for the Pelicans is Austin Rivers numbers in catch and shoot situations. Rivers actually finished second among rotation players in efficient field goal percentage on catch and shoot jumpers at 64 percent, just one percent behind Eric Gordon. With the size of Jrue Holiday allowing him to defend some shooting guards the possibility of using Rivers and Holiday together to space the floor seems very real and potentially gives Rivers a solidified role going forward.
Pull Ups:
Pull ups are generally bad shots. Almost any player in basketball shoots better off a catch and shoot situation and the numbers bear it out.
Now that doesn't mean that there isn't a use for pull up jumpers or that every player should avoid them but it does mean there probably isn't a ton of valuable data on them.
What it does tell us about the Pelicans is Jrue Holiday does like to shoot his fair of pull ups. Holiday finished 17th in the league in pull up attempts per game with 6.4 and 13th in the league in points per game off those shots with 5.8. That can become a weapon going forward for Holiday as Anthony Davis is going to draw a massive amount of attention as the roll man in a pick-and-roll so opportunities for Holiday to make that shot will come often. If he can do so it opens a lot of opportunities for the Pelicans' offense.

By William H. Perkins Jr. Editor
A record number of participants convened May 1-2 at Colonial Heights Church in Ridgeland for the 2009 Witnessing Through Media (WTM)
Conference, which included two new workshops that drew a lot of interest.
"We had a total of 212 registrants at this year's conference, which is the largest in the 23-year history of this event," said Ian
Richardson, coordinator of the conference and director of communication services at the Mississippi
Baptist Convention Board in Jackson.
"We offered 2 new workshops this year in response to the needs of our churches — Lighting for Worship, and Basic Graphic Design for
IMAG (image magnification). Both workshops were well attended, so we will look very seriously at including them in future conferences,"
Richardson said.
The Witnessing Through Media Conference is held each year to encourage Mississippi Baptist churches and churches that partner with the
Mississippi Baptist Convention to upgrade the techniques and equipment used to reach people for Christ through media.
In addition to the two new workshops, other workshops conducted at the two-day conference were:
The Witnessing Through Media Conference also features an annual Awards Banquet during which outstanding local church media productions
for the past year are recognized in a number of categories.
"We believe Mississippi Baptists are setting the standards in many areas of Christian media while utilizing the latest techniques and
equipment, and we want to recognize the best of those productions each year," Richardson said.
Witnessing through Media award winners for 2009 included:
"We were fortunate in having a group of highly-qualified conference leaders to share their expertise with our folks," Richardson said.
"Our prayer is that this training will be of value as our churches seek to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ through the avenue of media."
The Witnessing Through Media Conference is a ministry of the Mississippi Cooperative Program.

Oddly Enough Blog
News, but not the serious kind
It's all just food to him…
Blog Guy, I just graduated from college and I'm looking for a job. A recruiter sent me a glossy brochure called "The Exciting World of Feeding Giant Reptiles," and I wondered what you know about opportunities in that field.
Several recent grads have asked me the same thing. I've seen that brochure, with the folksy quotes from such legendary reptile feeders as Stumpy, Lefty and Elbow Willie.
While I understand the attraction of being able to put your hand in a blue plastic bucket of raw meat anytime you want, I just can't recommend this career path.
The thing is, research is still being done on the subject of how far out of the water large crocodiles can leap, and there are indications that many of them have been holding back, if you catch my drift.
Work in Hell, get weekends off
Blog Guy, I want to enlist in the military, but I need to be sure I'm in the most bad-ass, macho, kick-butt outfit my country has to offer. So what should I ask for? Afghanistan? Iraq?
No, you should demand to join Hell Squad.
Join what?
You know, the famed Hell Squad! Our elite unit that makes forays into Hades. Perdition. The Inferno. Across the River Styx. Like where Satan lives. Here's a picture of them in action, although it only shows the nicer part of Hell.
Your feet smell like rotting corpses, Ed!
I see we have a story offering etiquette tips on how to dress for the office during the summer. This helps me a lot, because my "office" is in my home. My coworkers are two dogs and two cats, so I'm afraid my dress code may be slipping as the heat rolls in. I need some good advice.
"Sandals are iffy for men. Be sure your feet look and smell appropriate for business…"
Is this the best job on earth, or what?
Blog Guy, it seems like mostly you write about jobs to avoid. How about some positive career advice? Aren't there any GREAT jobs out there?
You bet, and here I'm talking especially to you men. Every major fashion show employs a Chest Checker, and if you can score one of these jobs, you're set for life.
Ten jobs you'll avoid if you're smart
A reader writes, "Bob, I'm looking for a career, but I get bored reading all the fine print in online job postings. Are there any shortcuts?"
Well sure. What you do is set up a filter so that job descriptions containing certain words or phrases just don't show up at all, thus freeing up much more of your time for watching "Starsky and Hutch" reruns. The trick is to block just the right stuff, so use my list, which is based on years of career advice.
If I could find my guidance counselor right now…
Blog Guy, I hear your career advice is great. I'm graduating soon, and I'll be looking for something good. My dad always said I should have a desk job.
Then I've got a great career path for you. Check out this guy in the photo. That could be you.
It hurts so bad! Too much to think about!
Somebody needs to help me out with this one. We have TWO photos purporting to show fashion models "listening to instructions" before presenting creations at a fashion show.
I can buy a team of surgeons getting final instructions before creating the Six Million Dollar Man, but what kind of instructions do models need to hear?
Shake it, and see if that does anything!
Blog Guy, I'm graduating from college in May and I'm looking for an interesting career. Somebody gave me a colorful brochure on "The Exciting Field of Unexploded Ordnance Collecting," and I wondered what you thought of that.
Look, I know it sounds glamorous, but I don't recommend it.
See, the phrase "unexploded ordnance" is an incomplete thought. It really means ordnance that hasn't exploded YET.
Act like you can't see the guy with the bomb over there….
Blog Guy, your career advice has been invaluable to others, and I want to run something past you. Some recruiters came to our college and handed out brochures about entering the exciting field of Improvised Explosive Devices. Do you think I should consider this?
Hmmm. I can't honestly support a choice like that. Sure, it LOOKS glamorous, and lying on your back wearing a ski mask, covered with some really bad camouflage and holding a bomb may SEEM like a pretty easy gig…
Do you see any sweat? My deodorant keeps me dry for hours!
Blog Guy, the presidents of those Latin American countries like Venezuela and Cuba, do they make much money? I mean, can you earn a good living doing that?
Well, it's tough, but most of them are allowed to supplement their government incomes with commercial endorsements, product placement, stuff like that.

- FantasticfullnhappyDined on 10/25/2014I've been eaten at Biagio's a couple of times and have been thrilled every time. This particular night, my girlfriends and I sat at the bar. Frank the bartender not only remembered our names, our family stories but also our favorite cocktails and meals. I've never had a bad meal, bad service nor a bad time. Everyone there has been amazing! If I lived closer, I'd frequent there more often!Special Features:
- Poor management wrecked experienceLeageDined on 10/18/2014The restaurant is very attractive. The food was okay ( fish too well done) but the main part of the experience was due to the management/host. We waited a half hour after our reservation, but had a drink. The waitress was very nice. We waited 2 HOURS for our food after listening to a words with the younger owner had with the table next to us after they too, waited 2 hours. They got up and left. We ate but the experience was not pleasant. We will not be back.

- A nice dinner for a groupGratefulDined on 10/5/2014I brought a group of 8 for a small celebration. The ambiance was nice, it was not too loud and the restaurant feels cozy. Those of us who got the specials probably had the best meals (Portuguese stew). My son enjoyed his chicken and several people enjoyed their salads, esp. the Caesar salad. The lobster risotto was okay, though I am not a big fan of tomatoes. I would not have ordered it if the waitress mentioned tomatoes. I will go again, as it was a fine evening.Special Features:
- Nice little Italian spotKensBarbieDined on 10/3/2014We chose Biagio based on Trip Advisor rating and recommendation from the hotel staff and were not disappointed. The location is a little off but once inside, it is a very nice little place and the food was quite good. I had a seafood stew which was delicious and absolutely required bread for soaking up the wonderful broth. My husband has the scallops which were beautifully seared and very tasty, but he did switch the chocolate risotto for a more traditional version. My son both had the fig and marscapone ravioli, very rich but again, delicious. The service was great! We will definitely go again when we're in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The client I was with also enjoyed the same dish. He sipped on a glass of Johnny Walker Green. He enjoyed that you still carry it on your shelf. I am not from the area so having outstanding food for the 4x i'm in the area available is comforting. Thank you.Special Features:

The worst I've ever experienced. The food was superb, but it took 1 hr for our order to be served! We weren't given bread until we requested it, and one order was wrong--scallops instead of salmon!!Special Features:
- RobbiRobbiDined on 9/27/2014The food is consistently good. Great atmosphere and decor. The only complaint we have is the noise level. In the bar it's "energetic" but in the dining room it was deafening. We could hardly hear each other! There must be a happy medium for noise level - too little and it's deadly, but too much and it's uncomfortable. Other than that we love this restaurant - a gem!Special Features:
- great upscale ItalianDavidInBostonDined on 9/27/2014Have dined at Biagio several times ... always good! Dining room can get noisy, but that's art of the fun! Food is very good; service is friendly and attentive, even on a busy night. Parking can sometimes be an issue ... and it's very difficult to find tiny driveway, immediately past restaurant building.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Biagio Restaurant is fantasticLauraDined on 9/27/2014We went to celebrate a birthday. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the food was fantastic. Would definitely return.Special Features:
- AWESOME!!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 9/23/2014We went for a farewell dinner and it was great! Food drink staff and parking were all wonderful!Special Features:
- Earnest, but not excellentCallistoVIPDined on 9/21/2014Our first time dining at Biagio. We were attracted by the interesting menu. We decided to eat in courses that we would share - appetizer, pasta, secondi - as we were both interested in trying the same things. As nice as the waiter was, he did not communicate this key wish to the kitchen staff, so we wound up with a sweet-ish pasta arriving simultaneously with the rather spicy secondi (blackened swordfish). Everyone was indeed very earnest, but the lack of the flow of the service indicated communication was still lacking. The food was good, but not up to its price point. With some attention to refinement, this could be a great place. We are not likely to return for awhile.
- KarenDined on 9/12/2014We enjoyed our meals and the experience! Everything from the Beef Wellington appetizer to the fig and marscarpone ravioli was delicious.Special Features:
- DeliciousRizriaVIPDined on 9/7/2014Another great meal,are waiter Gerardo was excellent.Special Features:
- Slow serviceMagaliDined on 8/29/2014The service was very slow, we order the fried calamari to share, all the tables have bread but our table nothing. Our server never came to ask if everything was fine for all tree cours meal. It's was only 7 tables with two servers, no service at all. Did not see a manager at all
- 45thDining45thDiningDined on 8/25/2014Extremely expensive with poor food. The room for dining is very poor ambience, with no life happening anywhere. There is no attraction other than the view of the train station across the road. The area with real ambiance is restricted to cigars and drinks. I hope they are selling a lot of drinks up there and out there, because there is no attraction for their food. Next time, rather than eat, we will go and drink and smoke cigars, I guess.
- WNted it tobe goodOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/23/2014But service disappointed. Sarted off stong then sat for 20min after meal ended....surprised after that we ordered dessert.....wanted another15 minutes for the check.
- GoodFoodieVIPDined on 8/22/2014Nice classic interior. We shared Calamari Fritti which was fair could be crispier. I had Jumbo scallops which was great, but the risotto on the side was too sweet. My daughter had Lobster ravioli and chocolatto for dessert which she loved both. My son had Bolognese pasta which he says was above avarage. Overall it was pleasant dining experience.Special Features:
- RobbiRobbiDined on 8/12/2014Food & service consistently good, as we'd been there several times in the past. Bar a little loud, but depends on the crowd. Overall most enjoyable and we recommend this local gem to those seeking great atmosphere, food and service. Probably not suitable for small children however.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/8/2014The food was very good, top notch. It was a nice touch for Biagio to sit us himself. The wait staff was extremely accommodating and knowledgeable of the menu. We just moved in down the street from here and will be returning soon and often!Special Features:
- GregDined on 8/5/2014Great food and service. Waiter was spot on with his recommendationsI would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/30/2014Server was a little bland but still nice guy. Food was terrific and creative with nice presentation. We would definitely return. Good Job!Special Features:
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/22/2014Great food from crispy calamari apps to lobster ravioli and bolognese. Too noisy the night we went, but we'll go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- just OKCos4Dined on 7/20/2014Arrived Sunday night around 5pm, were only table for an 1hr. Left about 2 hrs later there was 3 additional parties. Considering the lack of customers we should not have to wait for things, but service was slow. While food is ok, prices are high considering quality & quantity. 2 of our party ordered the Pollo Saltimbocca for $18.95. The waiter asked what type of pasta they wanted with their meal & discovered when presented with the check a $7 upcharge, making their meal $25.95. A 5oz at best Chix breast, piece of prosciutto, cheese & a little pasta. Was not worth it. Chocolate Molten Cake for dessert was more like a microwave week old brownie with a small scoop of vanilla ice cream place on top to bring moisture to the dessert.
- Great neighborhood Italian SpotJosieGDined on 7/19/2014We just love this place. The service is so great. Enough staff to make sure that you have everything you need. They are professional and patient with the guests. The bread and spread that comes first is really good. The wine list is nice - not overwhelming and well priced. We went with a group of 5 and there was plenty of space at the table. And the food never disappoints. From the Chicken parm to the Frutti de mare with loads of mussels, clams scallops and fish - everything is hot, well prepared and yummy. One of our favorite spots.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Tried it OurselvesNoNickVIPDined on 7/12/2014As new residents of Waltham we hesitated trying Biagio given the mixed reviews. We decided to judge for ourselves last Saturday night, and were pleased that we did. Waiter Jacob was accommodating and pleasant. All of our food choices were very good, sticking to Italian selections as reviews recommended--Bolognese and Saltimboca. The creamed spinach was a tasty addition--even if unneeded given that portions were huge! Our only small complaint was that entrees were delivered with the appetizer and bread plates left on the table. They were promptly removed when we asked. Spinach was lukewarm, but everything else perfect temperature. From this experience we will certainly return, and hope to find equally good food and service in future.I would recommend this to a friend.
- YummyFoodieDined on 7/11/2014Biagios is fast becoming our new favorite, came here with a group of 15 ranging in ages from 10 to 74years old everyone was very pleased with there experience , I had the white chocolate scollops, my mother had a baked stuffed lobster, and my dad had the filet,the family and friends mostly had old classics like chicken par and they were all happy, I would also like to add they have a very unique cocktail menu with many well prepared cocktails.Special Features:
- Another fabulous dinnerFoodieDined on 7/10/2014My family and I would like to personally thank, Joey and Rafael for a wonderful evening on the patio, you guys really made our night.Special Features:
- bigdaddyVIPDined on 7/10/2014excellent wine, very fresh food, excellelent waiter and the owner always comes to the table to make sure all is good with the food, etc...the restaurant is a winner for all type of parties!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingNanadagVIPDined on 7/5/2014We went early in the evening on a summer weekend and it was relatively quiet but the service was very slow. We were not served bread, my salad was boring, lobster ravioli had little lobster in the pasta. There was, however, an unshelled lobster tail and small claw which was left in the sauce and was very tough. Scallops were ok. Cheesecake was dried out and stale. The overall quality of the service and food has decreased since our last visit. Disappointing!
- The following 810 reviews are from the Biagio Ristorante and Bar reviews archive.
- Wonderful surpriseFoodieDined on 7/2/2014Great food and service , I got the baked stuff lobster, and my wife ordered the filet, both we're excellent .Special Features:
- Amore at first tasteMaxwellsFanVIPDined on 6/29/2014Biagio has some of the most authentic continental Italian food this side of the pond. The homemade pasta is cooked perfectly, the sauces and proteins seasoned just right and flavor the pasta, not overwhelm it with just the right proportion of sauce to pasta. The meats are also delicious. Maybe you'll find better inside Italy, but within the rest of Europe, Biagio would compete with some of the best. Only two recommendations: 1) keep the menu Italian for everything from antipaste to dolci for desert and 2) feature more Italian wines. There are plenty of decent vino de tavola to please less-discerning tastes. Oh, and a nice chilled pinot nero rose would be great for hot summer evenings on the terrace.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingFoodie989Dined on 6/28/2014I initially had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately the experience was disappointing. Our eggplant appetizer came cold and the white chocolate risotto, which sounded delicious, was awful. The food came way too quickly, making us feel like it had just been sitting back there. The service was just okay as well. We had to get our own menus from a neighboring table.
- DO NOT GO IN THE SUMMERjsg1VIPDined on 6/27/2014The food was good, but the noise from the street and the trains were beyond the highest decibel rating we have heard. They keep the front windows open and all the traffic and motorcycles go up and down Moody Street all evening. We were sitting toward the rear of the restaurant and could not hear each other. Will wait until cold or rainy weather to return.
- soooooo goodOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 6/15/2014Everything was just perfect. We loved the pear salad. Subbed parm for the gorgonzolla and it was yummy. Next time we each want our own!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Father's DayElaineDined on 6/15/2014We went for lunch for Father's Day. Appetizers were unbelievable, especially the Rhose Thailand calamari. The wine and food were lovely. Went to the bar to watch World Cup and enjoy after dinner drinks. Waitstaff, host, and bartender made us feel like we were family!Special Features:
- What are they talking about?OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/14/2014I read several reviews of Biagio complaining about service, noise level, quality, and price. I don't know what restaurant they were at , but it wasn't this one. I found the service to be excellent. Our waiter made many suggestions and demonstrated his knowledge of the menu and wine list. While the brick walls made the noise level moderately high, it just seemed to me that the patrons were enjoying the experience. Everyone in our party of four thoroughly enjoyed their meals and I, who never leaves anything on my plate, even had enough left to bring home. The veal special was just spectacular and wine was excellent. As far as price, I found it to be very reasonable. I will definitely return to Biagio and recommend you do too.Special Features:

Atlanta Hawks vs Utah Jazz
Predict the Score is back and for the last month the points will be different to allow those that haven't had a chance to compete a chance at winning the prize. The amount of points correlates to how many chances you get to win, in other words place just once and you'll have a chance.
Paul Millsap, Kyle Korver and DeMarre Carroll all come back to Utah in which should be a fun game for Jazz fans. I wasn't the biggest Sap fan but I know a lot of people were and it'll be cool to see him back in Utah. The Hawks have lost 14 of 15 games and most recently lost by just 1 in a heart breaker against the Clippers. Paul Millsap has missed a majority of those games and has been crucial for the Hawks to remain in the playoffs currently as they are already without Al Horford.
The Jazz on the other hand are finally back home after going 1-5 on the 6 game road trip. The Jazz lacked effort in many of the games and probably had their worst game against the last placed Bucks losing by 26. Alec and Hayward seem to be meshing well though and that is good news for the Jazz's future. I expect the Jazz to pay the Hawks back for an earlier beating in the regular season in which the Jazz lost by 33.
My Prediction: Atlanta 99 Utah 104
The standings are as follows: (make your prediction in the comments below or on google+ under the article in the Locked on Sports community or tweet at me @Jazz9titans for a Jazz prize at the end of the season) 8-1st, 5-2nd, 3-3rd
Josh Haslam 31 points
King Jackson 30 points
Steven Jaynes 13 points
Luke McDermott Jr. 11 point
Buckle Up Jazz 11 points
Cody Powers 10 points
Tyson Newman 9 points
Chase Anderson 8 points
Olivier Batiste 6 points
Ryan Scott 6 points
Sean Moulton 6 points
Sheep Fan Jazz 5 points
Clayton Winslow 5 points
Jonathan Thatcher 5 points

Faith with FEET!!
How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! Romans 10:15
I want to tell you a bit about my sweet youngest daughter. First I want to say how BLESSED I am to be the Mom to 4 WONDERFUL (grown or mostly grown) children. I am proud of each of them -- they are remarkable people and I am always in awe that God trusted me with raising them!
Youngest daughter reminds me a lot of myself at her age (17) -- she is very passionate -- and loyal and so ready to push her sleeves up when she is needed. She has been a stanch pro-life advocate since she was old enough to understand what that was and all about. This was a position that really was tested for her last fall when a dear person in her life decided to take his own life. Recently, she befriended a young woman that she works with. This young woman, B., was expecting a baby and had made the very brave but heart wrenching decision to give her baby up for adoption. Daughter decided that she needed to be there for B. and she was and still is. B.'s baby girl was born last week. When there was no one else to be in L&D with B., daughter was. When baby spent the night in a room at the hospital with her adoptive parents, daughter stayed all night with B. She has made sure that any physical need B. had this last week was met and has spent many hours visiting with her. This afternoon I mentioned to daughter how proud I was of her -- she just brushed me off and said, *Mom, it is important that my FAITH HAS FEET*!! I LOVE THAT GIRL!! Mental note to self -- give your faith feet as often as possible!

This post really touched my heart. Precious daughter there.
Ruby Jean said...:
Truly a Blessing to see Faith being lived out...There is no better witness or testimony then that of a willing servant of the Lord called according to His good will and purpose..
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful Testimony...
B-Z-Quilting said...:
Wonderful! I pray that God continues to bless your family and I will be praying for "B" in her journey.
regina said...:
This post made me cry. Right before I read this, I spoke on the phone with my daughter. She is 5 months pregnant and today found out that her baby girl has a heart defect known as A V Canal Heart defect. She was also told that the baby is probably a Downs baby. The sad part was that the doctors hinted that maybe she would want to end the pregnancy. Thank the good Lord, she wouldn't end it no matter what happened.
Thank you Lord for the decision that B made. Bless her now and throughout her life for her brave act. Thank you for this precious daughter that was able to help. Help me Lord to learn from her and to put Feet to my Faith.
The Armchair Housewife said...:
Hi there Gail, just found your blog and it looks awesome. And this post is AWEsome! What a touching story of a passionate young woman, what a ministry to this young, brave girl who is making a hard but important decision. I just about get goosebumps thinking about how the Lord is using your daughter. How awesome!
Be blessed. I've added you to my google reader, looking forward to more. :)
Tina said...:
Gail, I know how proud you must be of your daughter. What a blessing she has been to her friend during this trying time.
You've apparently done a fantastic job with the children God gave you to take care of for Him!
Thank you for your prayers last week! I appreciate them so much!
Donna OShaughnessy said...:
I cannot say anything any better than the readers before me. But I will say THANK YOU for sharing
Farmgirl Cyn said...:
She is one who not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. Well done, good and faithful servant!
Yvonne @ StoneGable said...:
Gail, Please give that 17 year old daughter of yours with the most beautiful feet a big hug from me! This post made me cry... with joy for that little baby and adoptive, for sympathy for the darling and brave birth mom and for your daughter's precious spirit and friendship... and her feet. I say bravo to you for "raising her in the fear of the Lord" and for posting this. I am forwarding this to my son, a youth pastor.
I will always remember this post and those pretty feet with the painted toes in the cute yellow flip flops. They have given me a mental picture of "Faith with Feet!". I am sharing this at my bible study tomorrow.
Please tell your daughter her testimony (through you) will affect the kingdom!!!!! Praise God!
xo Yvonne
basketsbyrose said...:
Amen! Love your daughters words that faith needs feet!
Marigene said...:
Bless your daughter, Gail!
Cheryl said...:
Just found your blog from Farming On Faith. What your daughter did is such a blessing. Also loved reading your plan of salvation that you have on your blog.
Our Treasured Home said...:
What a dear blessing! Thank you for sharing a lovely story! We hear too much of how terrible our young people are.
Terry @ La Bella Vie said...:
Oh I love this post and want to thank you for sharing this!! Though I would not want your heat or humidity, I had no idea how we "got our corn" and I think you are so blessed to have a daughter!!! You are a very lucky women!
PS I just printed the Monster cookie recipe...yum,yum! And I know I sound like a broken record, but love your blog!

Tim Duncan may no longer be statistically vital to the Spurs, but that doesn't change anything. Everyone says those four are better, but who would you rather have on your team come playoff time? Who do you trust the most out those five?
@JuneJoseph When you're no.1 in any positive stat in Playoff history, hard to argue the greatness involved. Tim Duncan is one bad cat.
— NBA Philippines (@NBA_Philippines) May 22, 2013
The answer is Duncan.
As a Phoenix Suns fan, I understand Tim Duncan's wrath more than anybody.
And if you're taking Love, Aldridge, Howard or Griffin in the playoffs, then you didn't watch the playoffs last year—or perhaps the last fifteen years.
