He was big and dumb, not your first choice to fire. That evening when the crews came in I was working in the gate shop. I called him over to help me out with a frame up. I explained to him that he had to hold the joint tight or he might get shocked so he had better hold it tight.
He did what I knew he would do, he didn't hold it tight. I had the ground on one side and was hitting the other piece with the stinger. He screamed so I kept tapping it.
I flipped back the hood cussing him for not holding it like I told him to do. He left, for good without looking back, quit right on the spot, mumbling something about crazy.
Plasma cutter
Don't know if this counts, but here we go.
Couple years ago, I bought a plasma cutter. Love it. I was wanting to cut an angled piece out of a pipe to make a lighthouse. Clamped the pipe down on my catcher barrel, started cutting. Well, it turns out that if you are cutting a pipe, the fire and sparks might shoot out the end instead of falling into the barrel. In fact, they did. It also turns out that those sparks might go into a plastic 5 gallon barrel that has a bunch of kindling in it. In fact, they did. Being a trained, experienced, (30 years on the job) retired firefighter, those flames and smoke sorta caught my attention. Not wanting to use my brand new fire extinguisher, I put a lid on it, took it outside and fought that fire the old school way. Poured water in the bucket.
As I live only blocks from the fire station I retired out of, I can assure you that I would never ever hear the end of it if those guys ever responded to my house. Well, I learned not to do that...Professional firefighter (retired). Amateur everything else I try to do...

Not welding but back in wood shop class we had a kid cut a board to short for the project. Teacher sent him to the metal shop teacher to get the board stretcher. That teach sent him to another & so on. Finally the kid came back after visiting all the shop classes & said it must be here cause no one else has it.
Painted a guys clear welding lens with blueing so when he struck an arc he couldn't see anything.

Not welding related but it fits. Started in a Glass House when I was just out of High School. Got stuck on night turn as a sweeper in the Hot End. After couple of hours a guy came up to Me and told Me to get the "Mold Stretcher". It was pre hearing protection days and the place was loud, Thought He said Mold Changer, went far away downstairs and found Him sleeping(on His lunch break) He went up to see what was needed and He did not understand it very well. So there 2 fu's off the same mistake.
This was an edge weld with low heat and I kept thinking my torch hand shouldn't be getting this hot. Finally I had to stop and look and my hand was a blazing.
I was slinging that glove everywhere to get it off. It burned out quick with no damage. I was thinking how smart that was.
Got a new apprentice ,BIG strong kid. I asked him how strong he is. Gave me a bunch of his stats. Then I asked if he was strong enough to take 10 sticks of 3/32 lo hi , place behind the back of his neck , and bend the rod around it. He did it and then laughed as he tried to shake off the coating that ran down his back.
Occasionally, I forget to wear my leather apron while grinding. This sometimes results in me setting my shirt on fire. Got a bunch of shirts like that now. My wife hates it when I set my clothes on fire while wearing them. Must admit, not real good firefighter behaviour...

Hey BD1 I love that trick. Whenever the sheeting crew get a man we pull that trick when they stop by the shop. Collared shirts tucked in make for a great flux collector. Some of them will still grab another handful of rods and try to best "said" rod count. Those are also the employees that aren't around for long.

Anyone have any other good pranks to try out on fellow employees? I was lucky enough that I was never really pranked when I first came into the workplace.

It's interesting this bagging of Australian crowds. I'm sure I've seen a lot of matches in England where the grounds are less than full, notwithstanding their small size. There are also thousands less Poms out here this time than the past few tours. Suppose it's the economy there, dunno.

Martin Whitmarsh feels Lewis Hamilton should be leaving McLaren with more than just one World title to his name, conceding "all of us are at fault."
Having finished runner-up in his debut season in Formula One, Hamilton went on to claim the 2008 crown. However, the Brit was never able to repeat the feat.
Despite at times having the fastest car on the grid, errors from both the driver and the team cost him dearly as too did the rise of Sebastian Vettel.
"Yes," Whitmarsh told the Daily Mail when asked if he felt Hamilton should already have more than one Championship to his name.
"All of us are at fault for that.
"We've still got an extraordinary record and have had some fantastic races, but between us, with Lewis and the team, we could have done a better job together than we did."
Hamilton, who is off to Mercedes next season, will be replaced by Sergio Perez with Whitmarsh that as yet the team does not know whether the Sauber driver will become good enough to win a World title.
"He's got something but we don't know whether that something is enough to be groomed into a World Champion. I think it might be but it is an interesting challenge."
He also reckons the 22-year-old won't understand what it is like to be under pressure until he's raced for McLaren.
"Since 1966, McLaren has won more than 25 per cent of the all the races in which it has competed in. That's an added pressure to being a McLaren driver. He might think he understands it, but he doesn't."

Monisha Kalternborn concedes that while Nico Hulkenberg has been "absolutely good" at Sauber, the team has failed to live up to expectations...
Monisha Kalternborn concedes that while Nico Hulkenberg has been "absolutely good" at Sauber, the team has failed to live up to expectations.
With all the rumours flying around it appears to be only a matter of time before Hulkenberg confirms that he is leaving Sauber at the end of this season.
Having lost out on a 2014 Ferrari driver, the German is believed to be leading the chase to replace Kimi Raikkonen at Lotus.
For now, though, he remains a Sauber driver with his team boss conceding that this season - what looks to be Hulkenberg's first and last at the team - has not gone according to plan.
"When you look back to when we announced the partnership, we saw Nico's performance which impressed us," Kalternborn told the official F1 website. "At the same time I assume he saw the team's performance, which was somewhat different to what it is this year.
"Based on this - and, of course, we are all aware of the risks in Formula One - and keeping in mind that the rule changes were not that big for 2013, we both entered our cooperation with high expectations. And not just of each other, but of ourselves - we also had high expectations for us. Unfortunately those expectations were not fulfilled.
"We know more or less where we went wrong, but unfortunately it is a situation where you cannot simply implement what you want. We know that what we have done so far has moved us in the right direction, so if we could have done this before who knows what would have happened with our season? But that is, of course, pure speculation. Keeping that in mind I think we both adjusted to the situation.
"I must be very fair and say that the performance Nico has shown so far is always been absolutely good. There is nothing in that respect where we as a team could say we were disappointed. The potential that the car had, Nico always brought it out."
Pressed as to whether Hulkenberg has not given Sauber time to turn their fortunes around, F1's only female team boss refused to point the finger at her driver.
"Well, we've had these situations before and I don't think that there are any hard and fast rules," she said. "Drivers come, drivers go. Hopefully the team stays and - in our case - remains the fourth oldest."
As for Hulkenberg's team-mate Esteban Gutierrez, Kaltenborn insists he has delivered what was expected of him despite having not claimed a single World Championship point.
"Absolutely," she said. "He went through a rough ride at the beginning, but he has come out of it very well.
"He has matured over the course of the races - on the technical side too - but the unfortunate part is simply that the results don't actually reflect his improvements and his level of performance. That's maybe one point where we as a team have to somehow help him - and if you put it all together he can do that."
The Indian team boss, though, refused to comment on whether the Mexican racer will remain at the team next season. "We will announce our driver line-up - which we always do for one year - when the time is right."
Also questioned about Russian teenager Sergio Sirotkin, who made his F1 debut during a demo run at the Sochi circuit earlier this week, Kaltenborn insisted that despite his age he will race next season.
"We have Sergei Sirotkin under contract and it is our intention that in 2014 he will be one of our drivers.
"We are convinced by him: he is a young and talented driver. Of course, to say now how he will really do on the track would be mere speculation, but we feel that from the ingredients he brings - and from what everybody could see in Monza - the basis is good. With all this we have a good feeling about preparing him for his super license and then to get him in."

OMG - YUMMY!!!!!!!!!! I took round steak - the cheap stuff...added minced garlic from a jar, butter and mesquite seasoning, wrapped in foil and cooked in the oven. Nothing was left. I WILL make it again....and again.......and again.......
I love steak. Love it with garlic and I love it with butter too. This recipe caught my eye with its addition of garlic powder, and while I kind of knew this would be over the top garlic for me I figured 200+ reviewers who loved it couldn't be wrong, so I was willing to give it a try. Turns out I was right. Should have used a more reasonable amount of fresh garlic, cooked it a little to take the raw garlic taste out of it, and left it at that! Better yet, I should have had my husband's wonderful, perfectly grilled steak just as is. The taste of raw fresh garlic and the strong taste of the garlic powder was just unpleasant. More often than not, it's best to trust your instincts.

This was very good. We don't have a grill yet so I seared these on the stove-top with the lid. Got a good crust on the steak and the garlic was tasty. To save on fat I used low-fat marg. I will definitely make this again.
Let me tell you, as a college student looking for quick and tasty meals this was simply amazing. I bought about a pound of boneless top sirloin and adjusted everything so that it would fit with a pound of meat. I didn't really make any changes to add my own flavor to the recipe but I did use garlic powder with some herbs mixed in, and I used a George Foreman Grill. 5 minutes in the good ol' GF Grill and they were done to my liking. Quite possibly some of the best tasting steak I have ever had and it only took about 15-20 minutes from fridge to my stomach. As a side note I'd like to recommend a good Fat Tire beer to go along with it, simply tasty!
Wow! This is restaurant quality. We used NY strips that came out great. For the butter I used about 1/3 c. with 1 & 1/2 tsp. of minced garlic in the jar, 1/2 tsp. of garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp. dried parsley. I let it get to room temp. and made a paste. I put it back in the fridge while the steaks were on the grill. Once they came off, I let the butter melt over them.
Here is what I do I take garlic clove mince them then add salt on them and run knife over them back and forth until paste is formed then and to butter(not melted)I throw in chopped fresh parsley and refrigorate. I add a pat or scoop to hot steaks and butter melts as it rests. Nice presentation YUM
Our local grocery store had sirloin steaks on sale for $2.99 a pound, so I got two good steaks for $2.12 and they were as tender as any more expensive steaks I've ever fixed! I rubbed them with meat tenderizer and cracked black pepper, and let them rest on the counter for about an hour. Then heated a cast-iron skillet and threw a little salt in the pan, seared the steaks about 4 or 5 minutes per side until they released from the pan. This gave them a nice browned crust while the inside remained fork-tender. Didn't change a thing about the sauce, these steaks were awesome!
Thank you for posting this recipe. My hubby and I found it to be wonderful. I used it on filet mignon for a special occasion and not a morsel was to be found afterwards. I also added chopped fresh chives and parsley to the butter. Just a little tip: During the holiday season, I used a recipe very similar to yours to make refrigerated crescent rolls. After unrolling the crescent rolls flat on a baking sheet, I brushed on a little of a mixture similar to this, and everyone went wild. Of course we had turkey and ham (no need for garlic), and the cresent rolls were a lively surprise & hit. I also tried this on broccoli and it was lucious.

About Bat Houses
Bats live across North America, but since they're small, fast, and nocturnal, you may have never noticed them in your neighbourhood. Since this bat house is an ideal home for them, within a month or so you should have some bats starting to live there.
Bats will locate the house quicker if it is located 15-20 feet off the ground, facing southeast. Bats tend to find houses mounted on poles faster than those mounted on trees. You can also mount a bat house under the eaves of your home, providing it's high enough off the ground.
If you have problems with mosquitoes, install this bat house to encourage them to live nearby. Bats sleep during the day, and emerge at night to eat bugs such as mosquitoes, moths, flies, and gnats. Unless you stay up and watch, you might never even see the bats. Bat houses are the ultimate in low-impact, natural insect control.
Organization for Bat Conservation bat houses are made in the USA and proceeds go back into conservation work.

Questions about the Extra Large 5 Chamber Wooden Bat House
1 Item(s)
- From Vince at 5/12/11 6:46 PM
- How big should I go with a bat house? I see bats flying around my yard at night, I have a mosquito problem, but I'm not sure if I want 600 bats in my back yard. Is that a lot or no? I have 1/3 of an acre with surrounding neighbors whose combined open land is probably a couple of acres. Neighbor has a 20ft pool he covers when not in use. I'd like to encourage more bats, but I'm not sure how much is too much.
- It sounds like a three-chamber bat house would be more than sufficient for your situation. Bat populations will increase or decrease according to the level of food availability. The larger bat house may attract and house a larger population of bats, but if your mosquito population is not sufficient, the bats will range further or relocate.

Need Help with Soba, Ramen and Unagi places in/around Tokyo
So, my trip is coming up next month and I am trying to put my itinerary together (yes, i have an excel sheet all filled out- don't judge me), but I am still undecided on a few things. I'm hoping someone can help me out...
Unagi - I decided on having lunch at Kanda Kikukawa in Hibiya on a day I was sightseeing and shopping in Ginza. I'm not sure if this is the best, but wanted to hear your thoughts on this particular restaurant. Are there better unagi places for lunch? Or what are the MUST EAT unagi places?
Soba - In reviewing the other threads, I saw someone review on Kanda Yabu and Narutomi. Initially, I was drawn to Kanda Yabu because, well, I'm a tourist and I want to eat at a 100 something year old restaurant and take pictures. But, how is the soba? Should I skip it and go somewhere else?
Ramen - Man... I have been going back and forth with this one... as there are so many threads and reviews on ramen alone in Tokyo. I intially wanted to try Menya Kissou due to the rave reviews, but seeing an unfavorable review from Keizo (goramen) which also said they didn't allow photos, I have become relunctant. I wanted to try Bassa or Jiro or Ivan... but not sure which is best? I'm sure it's hard to actually pick what's best as everyone has their own preferences, but my favorite ramen (in SoCal) is Shio ramen at Santouka, if that helps. Oh and I don't really want to go to the ramen museum, especially if i have to wait in massive lines. I only wait in line for sushi. =P
Also, I'm considering to eat at these places for lunch, unless someone knows a FABULOUS MUST EAT soba/ramen/unagi place that I have to eat for dinner.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
My favorite unagi in Tokyo is Obana. Unfortunately it's not in a very convenient location. My second favorite is Nodaiwa. I've never been to kikukawa, but if you're looking for something in Ginza, Chikuyo Tei Hon Ten is good.
I adore Narutomi. The soba there is excellent. It is my favorite soba restaurant in all of Japan. There are places with better atmosphere, but Narutomi is the one soba restaurant I consistently go back to. I've trained in a soba restaurant in Tokyo and many of the other soba chefs I know also like Narutomi. I cannot say the same thing for Kanda Yabu. Kanda Yabu is historic, beautiful, and extremely important to the soba world, but the soba's not really special. A soba chef I know told me they use automation in some of their soba making process. I can't really believe it, but I will say that the reason to go there is not for the food. Soba isn't really filling anyways, you could do both in one afternoon. I've eaten at four soba restaurants within three hours before, so two won't kill you. If you go to Narutomi try the anago nikogori, and if you're going to order any hot soba order the duck if it's on the menu.
IMHO Kissou is not worth the trouble if you're not in the area because of the location and the wait. I waited forty minutes for something that I could have gotten a lot more conveniently at other top-rated ramen places. It's very good, but it's just not my pick if you're on vacation and limited on time.
I think you need to understand that in Japan for really, really good ramen, you will usually wait in line. For really good sushi, you will make a reservation. For really cheap sushi, you will wait in line. If you want to avoid waiting for ramen, I suggest a branch of a good chain like Santouka, Jiro, Ippudo, Jangara, Ichiran, Tenkaippin, etc. Although even at many of the Jiro locations people will line up. You'll also want to consider location- especially if you are a short time visitor in the city. Ivan is out there- like in an anonymous western part of the city nowhere near anything touristy. Kissou is on a more convenient line, but not in a convenient location either- though for the record, it's still rocking out on RamenDB. Suggest honing in on a shop in a better location or if you are really at a loss, checking out the Ramen Museum or the ramen "yokocho" attractions in Ikebukuro or Shinagawa.
re: Silverjay
Silverjay is correct - if there's no line at a ramen shop, chances are that it's not in the upper echelon of ramen in Japan. That being said, unless you're going to be around Kissou you have to tack on the round trip train ride to the wait, which may double the time it takes to get your ramen. I won't say that the quality was or was not the same, but as an example, I was with friends from LA, we happened to be at Shinagawa Station, we ate at Tetsu, and the wait was fifteen minutes. I don't know if the two hours it would have taken to go to Kissou from their hotel, wait, eat and then come back would have been worth it to them. I can see someone finding themselves in Shinagawa but most people don't find themselves at Kiba station very often.
If you can't read RamenDB http://www.ramentokyo.com/ might be a helpful resource.
Attached is a picture of the line I found at Kissou 25 minutes before they opened. Note that there are only (about?) ten seats and you can do the math. It was really good though.
re: Silverjay
I should have been more clear. I definitely know that I will wait in line for really good ramen shop, i just didn't want to go to the ramen museum since I heard it's line after line with people everywhere. I was making the sushi comparison because I was thinking of the wait at Sushi Dai in Tsukiji market, but alas I did not make that clear... Thanks for all the suggestions.. do you have a personal preference or favorite?
re: nelehelen
Weekends are busy at the ramen museum but other days aren't so bad. But it's not convenient from Shinjuku anyway. The Ikebukuro ramen alley seems to have closed. Here is the link to one in Shinagawa- http://www.shinatatsu.com/raumen/inde... .
I like blended broths like Rokurinsha and Kissou. Fu-unji seems like a nice looking highly rated blended broth place near Shinjuku-http://ramendb.supleks.jp/shop/12119. I enjoyed Suzuran a few years ago- http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/365264 . It's in Shibuya, where as a tourist you will probably want to explore anyway. They make their noodles in-house (most shops don't) and also make very good pork toppings. Also, Kururi is a few stops away from Shinjuku and is well-known for miso ramen.
I would pick somewhere in one of the neighborhoods you plan to explore and that you can navigate to. As I'm sure you can tell, many of the highly acclaimed places are not in tourist convenient places. You can easily burn a half a day traveling to, hunting for, and then waiting in line for a meal that will take you 10 minutes to eat.
re: nelehelen
I was at the Ramen Museum yesterday (Sunday) at around 7pm, and only two of the nine shops had significant lines. It's a fun place to visit if you have time for the trip.
Silverjay is absolutely right. There is always a line for those famous ramen shop. If you are on a tight schedule, and want to visit a famous great ramen place, you may want to consider Fuunji (風雲児). I like the ramen there with its really intense tonkotsu gyoukai (pork bone and fish) soup base. It is conveniently located near the Shinjuku JR station, only a few minutes walk. But then,you have to wait in line, although not as long as Kissou's.
re: skylineR33
I'm staying in shinjuku so that'd be a great place! Thanks! I don't mind the wait as long as it's worth it. =)
My favorite unagi is Izumoya, in Kanda, but I'd consider the anago at Tamai's main shop in Nihonbashi too, behind Takashimaya. I wouldn't do the trip/wait to Obana.
If you were in the neighborhood, you could stop by Yabu and take pictures outside and get most of the benefit. The inside isn't that special, and I agree the soba are good but not outstanding. My favorite is Muromachi Sunaba, fairly close to there, but I'm not a big soba eater.
Kissou is near where I live, but again, the wait...I did it once and found it sorta worth it, but with the added travel time from elsewhere, I don't think so. I went to Ikaruga in Kudanshita last week and loved it; not quite the same style, but equally 'impactful'. And quite different from shio. There's a really good shio/shoyu place called Bigakuya near Kissou, again only if you're there. There's a similar place called Isono near Yabu. You could consider going to Takadanobaba for Ganko too, because the experience is so funny and the ramen is also very good. The Jiro in Kanda routinely has 20 people in line at lunch time, but there's a mock-Jiro place across the street called Yojinbo and an awesome place farther down called Fukumen. I guess I wouldn't stress - there are good ramen places everywhere. Why not pick your location first?
re: jem589
Yes, I was thinking of picking a location first, but I didn't want to limit myself from all the possibilities. I would be willing to travel for great food. But, since really good ramen is so abundant in the city I guess I'm better off just picking a location. Thanks for all the great suggestions!
re: nelehelen
FYI only: I went to the driver's license center yesterday, and just for amusement purposes went by Kissou. There were just under 20 people in line at 2 PM.
re: jem589
jem589 - did you actually eat at Fukumen (meaning did you go to get one of those member cards on the allotted day, or do they not do that anymore?)
nelehelen - as mentioned you can provide an area of the city then the recommendations will come a lot easier.
re: kamiosaki
I'm a proud member with 3 red stamps and one silver. Went initially on a Monday night and they didn't say anything about it, just gave me a card (after I drank all the soup, which again I don't think is a pre-requisite for membership). Practically, I think they enjoy doing it, and you get free toppings once you're a member (advanced members can even choose free hanjuku eggs). The younger master also told me they pretty much just wear the masks for TV crews.
I would happily meet you there any time now that your reviews have restarted in volume and in earnest. I work just close enough to go for lunch. Alternately, I'd go up on the experimental day.
re: jem589
3 red and 1 silver! Sounds like you are now a high-ranking officer in the Fukumen Army. I guess I will have to salute you :-). Thanks for the invite, will try to PM at some point.
They didn't have the masks on when we went either (on a weeknight, but got turned away, even after we sent the only Japanese member of our party in first alone to reconnoiter), but we didn't ask why.
re: kamiosaki
I learned more about the membership system today - stickers are awarded for _strength_, not visits. Thus when I previously got spicy soup + two scoops of spicy miso, I got three red stickers. I expected to get another sticker today for my 'dragon style' ramen, but I didn't - I'd have to get a 'level up' in terms of 'spice points', like 3 scoops of spicy miso. For the shoyu ramen, you get stickers based on extra shots of tare, which would be punishingly salty. But it's worth having the extra stickers...
If anyone's reading, I also want to point out that tomorrow (10/23) is the monthly 'death match' where they make up something wacky. This month is shio ramen with raw oysters, Y1200.
have eaten at Kikukawa in Ginza. had their unajyu and it was very nice....then read about Unashou on camemberu's webpage.
have been back multiple times for their hitsumabushi. our last visit yielded new wooden bowls, reduced portion size, but still same quality and they will ask you if you want the kimo in your soup.
for soba, chef morimoto took anthony bourdain to sarashina soba.
re: tokyolo
Thanks! I came across camemberu's webpage as well and found outa bout unashou. Since I was going to be in Akihabara on a Tuesday during my visit, I was planning on stopping by Unashou for lunch. Which do you prefer? Kikukawa or Unahou?
re: nelehelen
I prefer Unashou....but I haven't tried this place yet :)
should you find yourself in Ginza.
here's a few photos from Unashou. To access, use the escalator or lift IN theYodobashi store. And to clarify the photo's in the previous post, the unajyu is Kikukawa and the wooden bowl is Unashou's.
These photos show Unashou's entrance, menu board in the restaurant and menu...and recent size change in bowls...Njoy~
re: nelehelen
oh..if you're going to be in Akiba and feeling like ramen, you may want to check out this place:
Jangara Ramen...They serve tonkotsu style ramen.

How to a pull a window to my second monitor that's above the current one when the menu bar is in the way?
I've just tried this in Snow Leopard (10.6.8) without issues...
Menu bar on bottom (primary) screen, secondary screen above and dragging windows between the two is no problem.
To do this, I've used the following configuration under Displays in System Preferences:
Check that your settings match and let us know how you get on.
Maybe a bit tricky, I use Moom and set a keyboard shortcut to move windows between screens which like win key + shift + (left or right) on windows.

Product Reviews / Main Nibbles
Gourmet Vegetable Products & Reviews
Plus Articles, Glossaries & Recipes
We are often baffled by the vegetables offered at our farmers' market. How can there be that many varieties of squash? Will our salad really be more interesting if we use exotic Japanese microgreens instead of romaine? How will we pair these "new" gourmet vegetables with the foods we eat everyday, and how should we prepare them for our special-occasion menus? Here we present interesting specialty vegetables as well as expanded uses for those that are familiar. We'd love to hear about your favorite vegetables. Use the Contact Us link on this page.
The Difference Between Fruits & Vegetables
Fact: Your favorite vegetables may actually be fruits! Tomatoes are fruits, avocados are fruits, hot chiles are fruits, cucumbers and squash are fruits. Because they aren't sweet, people think of them (and classify them in recipes and produce departments) as vegetables. But by botanical definition, fruits have their seeds on the inside; the only exception is the strawberry. With fruits, the seeds, or pits, are contained in the fruit's ovary sac. True vegetables have no "pit" or seed sac. So, beets and other root vegetables, celery, lettuces, herbs, and the anti-carcinogen cruciferous family Brassicaceae (also called Cruciferae)—arugula, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, collard greens, cress, daikon, horseradish, kale, kohlrabi, mizuna, mustard, radish, rutabaga and turnips—are all legitimate veggies.

Bucs drop Davidson, make program history with 6-0 SoCon start
Wednesday, January 21, 2004JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 21, 2004) - After relinquishing a nine-point lead late in the second half Wednesday night against Davidson, the East Tennessee State men's basketball team took a 66-66 game and outscored the Wildcats 9-4 the rest of the way to garner a hard-fought 75-70 Southern Conference victory at Memorial Center. Senior forward Zakee Wadood (Lonoke, Ark.) led the way for the Bucs, hitting a career-high four 3-point goals and collecting a game-high 25 points. With the win, the Buccaneers made school history, improving to 6-0 in league play for the first time ever. Overall, ETSU improved to 14-4 overall, while Davidson dropped to 7-10 overall, 2-4 SoCon. "That was another tough game and we're fortunate it went our way," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow. "We're lucky to have the players we have because they know how to make plays. Even though we're thrilled to be 6-0, we've got a lot of areas we can be better at." While ETSU led 37-35 at halftime, the two longtime conference rivals traded baskets much of the evening until the Bucs began an offensive run at the 12:57 mark of the second half. A basket by Wadood began the run and two free throws by sophomore guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) ended it, as the Bucs outscored Davidson 16-5 to take a 66-57 lead with 8:17 left in the game. However, Davidson was not interested in folding, as the Wildcats' defense clamped down and held ETSU scorelss over the next six minutes. In that span, Davidson's offense scored 11 straight to take a 68-66 lead with 2:07 left in the game. From there, the Bucs' offense got a spark thanks mainly to a steal by sophomore guard Ben Rhoda (Dayton, Ohio) and a perfect pass from Rhoda to a streaking Wadood to make it 69-68 in favor of ETSU. Four free throws by Smith and two more by Wadood iced the game from the line and gave ETSU the 75-70 victory. Along with Wadood, senior forward Jerald Fields (Gainesville, Fla.) netted his 11th career double-double with 15 points and 10 rebounds. Smith and junior guard James Anthony (Tampa, Fla.) also reached double figures, scoring 17 and 10 points, respectively. For Davidson, Matt McKillop netted a team-high 19 points - 16 of which came in the first half - while teammates Brendan Winters and Logan Kosmalski added 14 and 13 points, respectively. Kosmalski garnered a double-double thanks to 10 rebounds. ETSU moves on in conference play Saturday, when it travels to Appalachian State for a 1 p.m. meeting with the nearby Mountaineers. Davidson also returns to conference play, hosting Elon.

Meeting to discuss spending Maryport's Mary Portas cash
Last updated at 13:30, Friday, 30 November 2012
Plans to spend a £10,000 grant to boost Maryport town centre shops will be discussed by town traders on Tuesday.
A steering group will consider a number of ideas for the cash given by the Government under the Mary Portas scheme, which supports rundown high streets across the country.
Ideas include the upgrading of town maps on public display.
A second suggestion is that the money be used to set up a scheme to brighten shop fronts.
The steering group will also look at repainting Mill Race Lonning and at ways to brighten up empty shop windows.
Toni Magean, town centre manager, said that shopping locally was the key to town centre viability.
He said the proposals to upgrade large public maps would include the names of all shops and amenities within the town centre, to be updated for any changes.
He said it was time to start making final decisions about how the money should be spent, and anyone with proposals could leave their suggestions at Her Citi or contact him by email at firstname.lastname@example.com
Maryport mayor Peter Kendall urged a crowd of several hundred people at the Maryport Christmas Festival on Sunday to support Maryport shops this Christmas.

Have your say
I too have lived in the port all my life and watched its decline.The bigger supermarkets have killed off the independent shopkeeper so a return to days of old are never going to happen. Sorry nikki its not down to any council what a shop opens up as so the blame lies at the door of the shopkeeper.How many sandwich shops/cafes/hairdressers etc do we need??Yes cockermouth has individual shops but it also has 5 major high street retailers. The traders complain that no one shops in the town....how many open at 10am, how many traders want their car parked outside their shop door....much easier to nip to asda isnt it.If the traders carnt make an effort then why should I bother...sad but true
What about spending it on a market? Close the high-street and put buses on for people from Workington and Cockermouth ect to come to it. Each store owner can have a 'free' stal, however charge stores coming in from other areas. I am worried they are going to do something ridiculous with the cash, erect another statue, waste more on the already adequate parking. As long as there is a police presence I am sure the 'loons' of Maryport will be kept at bay. OH and please do not spend it on the Wave, that is a waste in itself!

Guest DJ: Brandon Boyd
Check out Brandon Boyd's Guest DJ'd station on iHeartRadio
Brandon Boyd is perhaps best known as frontman to popular alt rock band, Incubus, but he's far more than that. The talented singer is also a published author -- his third book. So The Echo was released in September -- who is embarking on a solo project as Sons of the Sea.
Brandon Boyd teamed up with iHeartRadio when he was in New York City recently to Guest DJ a radio station that represents his eclectic taste. Check out his top ten tracks below.
1. James Blake, "Retrograde"
"I became a listener of Mr. Blake on his first album," Brandon tells iHeartRadio. "I just found his curious song writing abilities to be curious (laughs) and intriguing -- I think intriguing probably is the better word. I saw him perform at Los Angeles at a studio for a little intimate gig and was even more intrigued once I saw him and I saw what he was able to do with technology. He's kind of the first electronic artist, if we can call him that, that has been intriguing to me in the recent past. A lot of the electronic music escapes me because it doesn't seem to have much soul, and every once in a while someone will come up like a Björk or James Blake who I find just incredible... He's the future."
2. Pixel, "Call Me"
"I have to say I know nothing about this band other than I heard this song on a friend's playlist that somebody made for me and I was like, 'whoa, whoa, whoa what is this?' and I immediately looked them up... hope to catch them at some point. It's really weird and it's really fun,."
3. Jeff Buckley, "Lover You Should"
"An old favorite of mine, the late great Jeff Buckley. 'Lover You Should've Come Over' from his album Grace, which was his first and unfortunately only full length album to come out while he was alive that I'm aware of. A lot of stuff has come out posthumously, but he's one of these artists that I forever will regret not seeing live. I've seen videos of him performing and heard lots of bootlegs and things like that... he was such a phenomenal signer and guitar player. Really kind of one of those 'once in a lifetime' type artists. What it's taught me actually is to -- if I fall in love with an artist's music -- go see them play cause you don't know how long they're gonna be around."
4. White Denim, "Pretty Green"
I just recently got introduced to these guys -- and still kind of getting to know them -- but what I've heard I've been really enjoying. I love the mood of it. It just feels cool, makes me feel cool... If I meet them ever I'll be like, 'You guys make me feel cool when I listen to your music!'"
5. Wild Nothing, "Ocean Repeating (Big-Eyed Girl)"
So here is another band I've just been recently introduced to, called The Wild Nothing or Wild Nothing. I think they've dropped the the. It's a track called, 'Ocean Repeating (Big-Eyed Girl)' and it's fantastic. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do."
Check out Brandon Boyd's Guest DJ'd station on iHeartRadio
6. The National, "Don't Swallow The Cap"
"This next song is from The National who we've probably all been hearing a lot about recently, for good reason. They're a really great band and I just learned that they're on their fifth record, which makes me feel like I am super behind on my music homework, so I'm gonna do a little back listening here on The National. I was aware of their last album, which I loved a lot, but this new one has been really cool... Let's get moody."
7. Antony & The Johnsons, "Another World"
"I think I have a soft spot for moody music. One of my favorite singers from the past five, six, seven years has been Antony from Antony and the Johnsons, and I was first turned on to him through Björk, who's one of my all time favorite singers and performers. On her album -- I forget which record it was -- but she did a track with Antony called 'The Dull Flame of Desire,' so I started investigating and looking for stuff on him. He's got a band called Antony and the Johnsons."
8. Dr. Dog, 'Vampire"
"Next on this behemoth playlist I've compiled for you is a band called Dr. Dog with a song called 'Vampire.' I was introduced to this song if not mistaken the old fashion way, I walked into a coffee shop and they were playing it. So it was sort of in a round about way recommended by highly caffeinated people who are... you can't tell if they're being rude to you or if that's just sort of the gig at a coffee shop which, of course, if they're playing something and they're having that attitude it must be cool, right? (laughs). Anyway I love this song and I used my old Shazam button and I got to figure out who it was."
9. Grizzly Bear, "Southern Point"
This next band is really, really wonderful. They're really, really great. You guys should listen to them if you get the chance. They're called Grizzly Bear. "Southern Point" came off of a record called Veckatimest. Fantastic record, and all their other albums are pretty amazing too, but this song in particular struck a chord with me because it had elements to it that I was attempting to harness on my own when I made my own first solo record a couple years ago. I kind of missed the mark, so when I heard this track I was like, 'See that's what it –damn it, alright I'm just gonna listen to this band.'"
10. The Doors, "Moonlight Drive"
"The Doors are kind of one of my all time favorite bands growing up near Venice Beach. I was late to the plate here cause I wasn't sort of, of the right generation, but every time I hear this song, or most Door's songs for that matter, I feel like I'm whipped into a time machine and pulled back into Venice Beach in the late '60s and early '70s, and it seems like it would've been a pretty cool place to be."

On Saturday night I went to the Rangers v Phillies game at Citizens Bank Park in beautiful south Philadelphia (somewhat kidding). Although the stadium itself is definitely really nice. Saturday night (5/21) was the first time Cliff Lee was pitching against the Rangers since he played for them last year in the World Series in which they lost to the San Francisco Giants (of course, the Phillies also lost to the Giants in the NLCS).
Lee went on to pitch eight shutout innings with five hits and ten strikeouts and the Phillies won 2-0. He's a beast when he's on (which is pretty frequent although his record doesn't look great this year). Most of the game was pretty nondescript although one kind of funny thing did end up happening. We hadn't eaten dinner so during the second inning we decided to go get some food so we didn't want to get up during any key later-inning moments. That proved to be a mistake. Ryan Howard hit a home run DIRECTLY into our seats. Like if no one was in the right field bleachers, it would have hit our seat. The people in front of us ended up getting the ball by reaching back into our row. You can see the highlight of it on this ESPN game recap article if you watch the video on the right side. So much for trying to get food at an opportune time during the game. I should've thought about the fact that the Phillies' power-hitting lefty was about to come up to bat and that if he was going to hit a home run, there was a good chance it was coming to our area given that were right in the power spot in right field and we were in the second row. If he hits a home run, I figure there's a maybe one in a few thousand or so chance that it lands directly in our seat and maybe a one in a few hundred chance that it lands in our general area — but only IF he hits a home run. Multiply those numbers by .065 for our actual chances because he is about 6.5% likely to hit a home run at home (134/2043 – see this) over the course of his career. So it wasn't like we were massively likely to get a ball hit to us but his at bats were probably the most likely at bats to produce a home run in our area. Anyway, it happened. We weren't there. Fail. One day I will catch a home run ball, hopefully.
Here are the pictures, this time they're bigger than my normal size blog pics if you're on my actual blog domain and you click on them.
EDIT: For some reason the lightbox plugin that I'm using to show the gallery is combining the two galleries that I posted today, kinda. I'm going to look into this. For now it shouldn't be a big deal.

Posts Tagged 'Scavenger Hunt'
BRR: Dash and Lily's Book of DaresJuly 22, 2011
Title: Dash and Lily's Book of Dares
Author: Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
Other books in series or Standalone: Standalone
First Impressions: I really enjoyed the other major novel that Cohn and Levithan co-wrote, called Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, so I was really looking forward to this one. And the story sounded so fun! Christmas fantatic Lily is bored while on vacation from school, so she leaves a red notebook on a bookstore shelf. The notebook contains the beginning of a set of challenges for whoever finds it, kind of like a city-wide scavenger hunt. When snarky Dash find the notebook, he is immediately sucked into the dares, and the two spend their Christmas Break trading the notebook back and forth by leaving it at the site of the last dare.
Last Impressions: This was, in fact, a really fun book. I love the idea of the notebook and the dares, and if it was at all realistic I would totally do it! Dash starts off sort of unlikeable and Lily borders on annoying sometimes, but through their interactions they grow and become more likeable characters, which I think is one mark of a good story. And Cohn and Levithan do a great job at bringing New York to life, it really made me want to see it in the winter!
Favorite Moment (POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT): I really enjoyed Dash's initial finding of the notebook in The Strand….it's pretty funny. The ending is also very nice, but I won't spoil it!
Least Favorite Moment: Dash and Lily's first attempt at meeting in person. Major failure.
Thoughts on the bookcover: The cover is so pretty! I love the falling snow (especially right now, in the dead of summer!) and all the hearts. It's a very nice "New York in winter" image.
An ideal place to read this book: On a cozy couch with a mug of hot cocoa.
People who should read this: Guys and girls can both enjoy this, since you're getting the perspectives of both Dash and Lily. If you're looking for a unique love story, this is definitely for you. And fans of Christmas and books about Christmas will find a lot to enjoy here.

But, it's 4:30 am and it's so hard to stifle the laughter when everyone is still in bed ... choking here !
