I am issuing a challenge. Instead of simply talking about Black History month, let's do something about it.
The Henry County Lady Cats hosted Seneca on Saturday afternoon and were clicking on all cylinders as they ran away from the Red Hawks for a 61-22 victory.
The game opened with Henry County going on a 10-0 run led by four points from Haley Bramblett and a basket each from Cheyenne Clark, Colleen Coomes and Shelby Mullins.
Seneca finally got on the scoreboard on a putback with 4:36 left in the opening period. The Lady Cats led after one period by a score of 14-3.
Steve Frommeyer's 30-year run as head coach of the Eminence Warriors' football team came to an end on Feb. 11 when he called his team and coaches together to let them know that he was moving on. It is a familiar scene in high school and college sports. Coaches move around a lot. But this scene was different. Frommeyer devoted the majority of his career to tiny Eminence High School.
When asked to comment on Coach Steve Frommeyer's 30-year stint as Eminence Warriors' football coach many former players and colleagues could not stop talking. Here is a sampling of what they had to say.
Mark Meadows, Frommeyer's trusted assistant for many years:
"We coached together for about 22 years off and on. He's been great for the school and the football program. When he came here the program was about dead.
The Eminence Warriors hosted the Trimble County Raiders on Thursday night and fell behind by fifteen points in the first period. The Warriors played the Raiders evenly throughout the rest of the game but couldn't close the gap and fell 73-56.
The Henry County Wildcats traveled to Shelbyville on Saturday afternoon to take on the Shelby County Rockets and fell by fourteen points.
"We got off to a slow start in this game," Coach Enoch Welch said. "Robbie Cruse came in and really gave us some energy off the bench. He scored 10 of our 20 first half points."
The Wildcats found themselves down by six points after the first period when they scored only six points. Cruse's efforts in the second period kept the Wildcats close as they trailed by seven at halftime, 27-20.
The Eminence Warriors girls' basketball team traveled to Louisville on Feb. 11 to take on the Collegiate Amazons and fell 51-8.
The Warriors were blanked in the first half as the Amazons' pressure defense took its toll on the young team from Eminence.
"They started off pressing," Coach Zach Adair said. "We were able to get in the right alignment and we broke the press a lot, but we were not able to hit any shots. As the game wore on we turned it over more."
Several local residents have formed a group called Henry County Girls Youth Softball with the intention of resurrecting youth softball leagues in the county.
Mike McIntosh, a member of the committee said that the group wants to keep girls from having to travel to Shelbyville for youth softball leagues like last year.
The Henry County JV team defeated Gallatin County 51-43 on Jan. 28. Above, Jackson Jeffries, Gavin Jameson and Coleton Aneszko all led the team in scoring with 11 points. Ethan Tuggle chipped in nine points.
On Jan. 31 the JV Cats defeated Williamstown 55-26. Jeffries led the team with 13 points, Bodie Clark added nine points while Aneszko scored eight and Jameson seven.
On Feb. 1 the Wildcat JV took
on the Shelby County Rockets and came away with a 42-39 win. Tuggle led the way with 14 points and Jeffries added 10 points.

I went to Panera Bread for the first time as a freshman in high school with a friend of mine and her mother in the days before I understood that restaurants would customize your order. When I first saw the menu, I had no idea what to buy. I hated mayonnaise with a passion (and still do with few exceptions), and practically every sandwich on the menu utilized one form or another as a condiment. Worse still, practically everything had tomatoes, a food that, in its raw form, is only just now becoming tolerable to me at the age of 24. I gave the menu one of my blankest looks, much like the one I would give my calculus text book three years later. I had been ordering for myself at restaurants for probably six or seven years at that point and cutting my own meat for a year longer, but thus far, I never had to make such a life-altering decision in my brief and sheltered existence.
"The broccoli cheddar soup here is really good," my friend insisted.
I confess I was dubious. "The problem is I don't really eat a lot of raw cheese, so I'm not really sure if I'd like a soup with a cheese base." I associated any sort of "cream" soup with the milk and roux mixture we served at home. Chunks of potatoes or broccoli floated around in milk broth, but I canned up my complaints about the flavor to avoid offending the chef, whether that was my mom or my dad. Uttering one word of disdain was like cranking a pan full of spaghetti sauce on high and simply walking away from it: if I spawned more heat and threw off the equilibrium, the white stove top of a calm evening would look less like an appliance and more like a massacre. Of course, I only mean words, but as the only child, I tried to keep parental perturbation down to a minimum.
I wasn't seeing any other solutions to the problem, and the menu wasn't responding to my glances. "Get it in a bread bowl," she suggested. "At least try it."
Fortunately, this was before Panera became less restaurant and more madhouse. There were only a handful of customers already dining, and we were the only ones in line. It was about 11:30. Nowadays, there aren't even any tables left at 11:30, and the line of diners stretches helter-skelter towards the door. I placed my order and got a glass of water to accompany my lunch.
If I had to choose one word to describe my first encounter with that soup, it would have to be euphoric. I became more attached to it, ordering the dish every time we visited the restaurant (until I discovered the Sierra Turkey sandwich; then, I began alternating between the two).
A few years ago, this friend added a little too much heat to my stable existence, and I simply rammed her into the back of my subconscious, relegating her to the bottom shelf and cutting all ties. The problem was that as we grew older, I aged like a barrel of wine: I was cumbersome and still had a very limited perception of the world, but my flavor was developing, changing, growing, and (hopefully) improving. I began to see the world through glass that was not rose-colored. I labored at a Pizza Hut, tolerating my menial minimum-wage job, disdaining my slacking coworkers, and at times wanting to toss a full vat of sauce on the customers. People were not all nice, and life was not easy. Conversely, she aged more like a Twinkie. As another only child, she lives in a smaller container than I do, a plastic wrapper where she sees the world not quite as it is but how she wants to. She was preserved by an abundance, and maybe an overabundance, of affection. I saw ugly sides of her that I will never share with anyone else, and those sides reminded me that unlike her, I had to earn my gas and spending money. She got sizable handouts of money from her parents regularly, but for me, every dime was a drop of sweat, every quarter a rock of the knife on the board, every dollar a spot of hot oil singeing my flesh and leaving small, white, dalmatian-spot scars. She still appears in my dreams sometimes, usually as an antagonist, and when I wake up on mornings like that, I find myself wondering if she ever changed.
Although my relationship with this particular friend came to an abrupt end and I no longer frequent Panera, my bond to broccoli-cheddar soup grew infinitely stronger when I found this recipe and began making my own. I actually prefer my own broccoli-cheddar soup to Panera's because the broccoli is chunkier and never overcooked.
Mount Pleasant is rumored to be getting a Panera Bread in the next six months. I jokingly tell people that the reason they don't have one already is because I can make their broccoli-cheddar soup better than they can. It seems odd to me that Panera is just now coming here when I'm getting so close to leaving, so maybe there is some truth in this.
But it's probably just a coincidence.
Chicken and Broccoli Cheddar Soup for the Sole
- ¼ onion, diced
- 4 baby carrots, diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 2 chicken tenderloins, frozen
- 4 oz fresh broccoli, chopped
- 2 tsp butter, separated into 1 tsp portions
- 1 ½ tsp flour
- 1 pint half and half
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp nutmeg
- In a three-quart sauce pan, melt 1 tsp butter. Add onions and cook until onions are caramelized.
- While onions are caramelizing, defrost chicken tenderloins in microwave for 3-4 minutes.
- Melt the remaining teaspoon of butter and mix with flour. Cook for 1-2 minutes until flour/butter mixture is pasty and golden.
- Add chicken stock to the pan and whisk until roux is fully dissolved. Add half and half. Lower heat to a simmer. Dice chicken and add to pan. Simmer for 5-10 minutes.
- Add carrots and celery. Simmer for an additional 15 minutes.
- Add broccoli. Simmer for another 15 minutes.
- Add sharp cheddar in ¼ or ⅓ cup batches. Whisk each batch until it is fully melted and combined with the cooking liquid.
- Add nutmeg and black pepper. Serve with crusty bread.

I am living in Malaysia and love to read a bit of life's philosophy. Just trying to express some of the thoughts in a melodious way.

I pray for love We are all bathing in it We just have to open our hearts, to open our minds
Our Choice
Walking on a hot and scorching day We meet a splitting of the way A way downwards looking shady, some trees are there A way upwards, sandy without trees, just looking bare
Y/. Never Waiting Again
While waiting in a queue or jam Let's try to connect to our heart And search for a lovely feeling
Speck Of Significance
In the universe, a human so small,
Looking just like a speck of dust
But born with a mind and a soul
And able to think, love and trust.
Many think that as a human, just one
Not a positive change can be made, nothing great
What could a good deed selflessly done
Ever mean in a world full of hate?

Lizzy Yarnold flies flags for Brits as Sochi closing ceremony wows crowds
LIZZY Yarnold has confirmed her status as Great Britain's 'Golden Girl' after leading the GB team out at the closing ceremony of the Sochi Winter Olympics.
The 25-year-old, who was GB's only gold medallist at the 2014 games, was chosen to carry the flag as competitors from every nation attended the eye-opening showpiece.
Yarnold skyrocketed to fame after comfortably winning the women's skeleton last Friday.
She set two track records as she became the fourth consecutive GB winner of the event following on from Alex Coomber, Shelley Rudman and Amy Williams in previous years.
She said it was going to be an "honour" bearing the Union Jack flag at the closing ceremony.
She said before the ceremony: "It makes what has already been an incredible experience just that much more special, and I am extremely grateful.
"To have been selected for this honour is so far beyond anything I could have ever imagined."
Britain managed just four medals at the games, with the men's and women's curling team taking a silver and bronze medal, plus snowboarder Jenny Jones taking a bronze too.
But despite the low total, it has actually matched GB's best record at a games since the Chamonix games in 1924.
"It makes what has already been an incredible experience just that much more special"Lizzy Yarnold
They almost had a fifth too when the men's bobsleigh team narrowly missed out on a medal by 0.11 seconds earlier today.
Russia took gold over Canada late on, knocking the Brits out of the medals.
Pilot John Jackson told BBC Sport: "It's hard to think we've come so close to a medal.
"Hopefully this will be enough to secure backing [from UK Sport] so we can continue to progress."
The closing show at the Fisht Stadium on the Black Sea coast had hundreds of dancers and actors taking to the stage.
Fireworks filled the sky as they burst over the Olympic cauldron.
The spectacle gave viewers a look into Russian styles and culture with a range of different colourful acts.
But it was not all good for the Sochi organisers.
In an opening display using hundreds of dancers to visualise a boat in the sea, the group made the Olympic rings appear among the bodies lying down.
Unfortunately, it was only four of the five rings though
As the crowd cheered and laughed, the final ring opened slowly but surely and the show did go on.
Organisers say the event was the biggest ever for an Olympics.
They estimate it cost around $51 billion (£42bn) to stage - far more than any other Games Winter or Summer.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach praised the organisers and show designers for their work.
He said: "Through you, everybody with an open mind could see the face of a new Russia: efficient and friendly, patriotic and open to the world.
"We arrived with great respect for the rich and varied history of Russia. We leave as friends of the Russian people."

Jame's Horde Leveling Guide
Now also available as an in-game leveling addon. Please check out the following page to try the WoW-Pro Leveling Addon!
If you need guides for any other level range (or race) please check out this page.
If you don't want to try our WoW Leveling Addon, here's how to enjoy the paper version of the guides as much as possible, even if you don't have a 2nd monitor, you can either:
1. Print the guides. There is a "Printer Friendly Version" link at the bottom of every guide, you just have to click on it. However, that might be expansive (and probably expensive), because the guides are big, very big. Another downside is that my guides are updated very frequently, so if you print it you'll miss the latest updates.
2. Playing WOW in Windowed Mode feels very comfortable while following along with this guide.
- Keep the guide opened in an internet window
- Log in to World of Warcraft, press Escape and go to Video Options, tick the following boxes:
Click on "Apply".
Your screen will look exactly as if you were playing wow in full screen mode, besides you will be able to ALT-TAB to the guide INSTANTLY.
This is how I play wow while following my guide, when I don't feel like booting up my 2nd computer

60-70 after WoTLK Drops?
Submitted by EnigmaXXX on Thu, 2008-10-02 00:42.
Hey Jame, just want to first of all say, that your guides are an absolute god send for some one trying to catch up after getting a late start at the game.
Just wondering if you were going to work on a 60-70 guide for after WoTLK drops and they change the exp rate to make those levels quicker? (Or is that basically the Death Knight 60-70 guide that you have in the works?)
Just wondering because I just hit outlands, and if so I will probably start an alt, un till the exp rates are lowered.

Ello James.
I have been following your guides for nearly two years [I think two years] and really do think they are the best "inventions" since sliced bread.
Now, recently a friend of mine was like - "I want to play WoW..." and I was like - "Ok, lets link our accounts." and so we linked accounts. As you may figure, the EXP rate is a bit of a joke. One level every 30 - 40 mins, depending on how well we are playing. I have been using you guide as well so... ^_^
We are now level 42... and I am still following the level 38 section of Horde guide. What would you recommend I do? Should I follow as normal? Or skip sections every so often?
Anyways, thanks for these great guides. They have been blessings in disguise over the past few years.
PS... I can't form questions terribly well.

make a guide for 11-20!
i dont think we need a guide for 1-10 though...thats too easy!
Thanks once again
Submitted by Manovan on Thu, 2008-09-18 22:03.
I have thanked you before, but thought I could do it again.
I have tried out your guide for both Horde and Alliance now and they speed up my leveling process so much. I`m the kind of person who wants to do it my own way the first time though, so I leveled up my first character to 70 by my own before I started using guides for my alts. Now I used your Alliance guide from 20 to 60 on a shaman, Horde guide from 30 to 60 on a paladin and previously I did it on a hunter (started with Snowflake's blood elf guide and then moved over to yours). The hunter was level 41 last wednesday and got 60 this wednesday. I`m currently using your Outland guide and this far it's very useful. Keep up the good work.
PS. I won't use your Northrend guide before I have done it once myself first though.
No problem at all. It's fun
Submitted by Manovan on Fri, 2008-10-03 05:42.
No problem at all. It's fun to level up alts. I currently have an alt of almost every level range (10/20/30/40/50/60/70) and pop in on those I want to do some circuits on. When I leveled up my latest alt, the blood elf hunter (currently level 64), I kept comparing my leveling range with my guild mates. One of them was 56 when I was 35 and when I was 64, he was 62. All thanks to the leveling guides.
You write that you're planning to do class specific guides? Are you also planning on modifying the guides to have professions taken into account? "How to NOT level past your mining" for example. On the other hand, maybe too many variations of the guides would only lead to one big mess of it all.

i always used your guide to level my guys and i finally joined, just wanted to say that your guide is awesome and i cant wait to use it to get to 80
Just found this page, making a new character
Submitted by Nyrus on Thu, 2008-09-18 15:26.
Well, I found this page after looking at a bunch of other expensive, usless guides. I'm making a blood elf (but leveling him in the undead area) using your guide. After using the undead 1-13 and then the guide after that, I'll switch to James guide. So, wish me luck!
Your Leveling guides rule!

Hi Jame,
I use your guide a lot and really like it and it works awesome! But im walking a little bit behead of the guide because im almost 48 and still doing the quests of begin lvl 47 because I tought I couldn't just skip half the guide if i was ahead. So what should I do? Just follow the guide or skip the part until its correct for my lvl.
Greetzz,, Feroby
P.S: Sorry for some of the bad english xD

Been a while, leveled 2 alliance characters with the guide. I cancelled my account for 6 months but just recently got the bug again to play. after immediatly realizing the game is a total grind at 70 right now (pre LK) and having made 10k gold in the AH and dailies in just 2 weeks i realized i had plenty of money and was totally bored.
so the time has come again! i started a few ally characters and it was just more of the same old game. its fun but something was just not exciting about it. enter the horde leveling guide! yes i have decided to level my first horde character and i used snowflake's 1-21 in 2 days (12hrs played!!!) to get it done and now im on your 21-70 guides.
yes this is long winded but to everyone out there i have to say its almost like a whole new game playing the other faction. except you allready know how to play the game. its really fun again!! thanks wow-pro!
Thank you!
Submitted by Tami on Wed, 2008-08-20 08:36.
Hey Jame,
I just wanted to thank you for your absolutely amazing guide! I had to give up on lots of lvl 70 toons due to Serverchange (from EU to US) I started to lvl a rouge and was about to give up and never play WoW again when it was about lvl 21, then I found your guide. I've been always against using guides to lvl but decided to at least give it a try. And I loved it!
My rogue is currently lvl 56 and got there in no time.
So again ab big THANK YOU!
This guide is amazing to say the least
Submitted by Kettani on Wed, 2008-08-20 06:51.
I don't know where I would be without this guide (probably running in circles doing quests that are completely useless)! It works perfectly, I even started at level 33 when I found out about it, and I have been able to seamlessly hop right in, and I'm already level 46 after about 2 days of playing! I end up leveling more quickly than the guide says at the beginning of each chapter and by chapters' end I am dead on! I recommend this guide to every single person I group up with and I have yet to get negative feedback. Thank you so much for the time and effort you put forth to help the ever-growing WoW community, it is very much appreciated. Take care and keep up the GREAT work.

All I can say is wow. You put in a lot of work into this and it shows. I've used this guide to level several alts of mine. Unfortunately, I didn't find it until after I got my first 70. Took a long time too, lol. Fabulous work!

Hey jame! I just had to say.. you are an absolute genious! To be able to have thought of such good quest routes and picking the right quests must have taken you ages!

I've been playing MMORPG's since the beginning, except for WoW. I finally decided to try it, and with your guide, as a complete NEWB, I've reached level 43 in 3 days played. I wasn't looking forward to starting a new MMO all over again, but your guide has made the experience enjoyable. THANKS!!!
My preferred addons
Submitted by Hamor on Tue, 2008-07-29 21:07.
Reading some of the comments, I thought I would post my recommendation of addons:
Carbonite Quests:
Carbonite Quests is something that seems to have been recently released, but it is an all-in-wonder addon. It includes the neatest implementation of maps I've seen - using the Google Earth style of scrolling and zooming.
In addition, it has what I feel is actually a better quest assistance mod than QuestHelper (Though your maps sometimes looks like someone took a box of origami paper and threw it at you. If that is overwhelming, you can right-click the map areas and select "stop tracking" to removing them.).
It's not done yet, the addon also comes with it's own quest mod, information-sharing add-in (even reports when you level to others using the mod if you want it too), and other small bonuses, like showing your current speed and keeping a "punk list" for PvP.
What I feel is an awesome companion mod to this is called QuestIon. It is a quest mod that, once you get past a bit of a learning curve, is incredibly flexible. It also adds one key piece of functionality: It checks to see if the mob you are highlighting is related to any quest you are trying to complete (it's not perfect, but gets a large percentage right, like 92-95%). If it is related, the quest objective appears as part of the mob's tooltip! Occasionally you'll get a good laugh too, like when you see that a hunter's pet is needed for your quest to kill raptors
Finally, a very simple addon that moves those tooltips out of they're obnoxious home in the corner of the screen and onto your mouse, with lots of nice colorations based on friendliness and such, all while making them very small, is called TinyTip

Hey Jame!
Long time user of your guide here, though just now getting around to signing up to add some comments
This guide is absolutely phenomenal, even before the revamp with the awesome maps! I have been using it ever since about level 50 on my alliance druid, and have since used it to level that to 62-ish (before the post-60 guides), another druid to 63, a warlock on a PvP server to 50 (my current main), and numerous other characters to the 35-40 range.
If there was one thing bad about this guide, it would have to be that it makes me level too fast to quest or instance with other lowbies, unless they happen to catch me just at the right time!
While taking time to level tailoring, mining, first aid, cooking, and even some fishing, I leveled my warlock on a PvP server to level 50 in under 5 days /played. There was also some significant BG play, random chatting, and leaving the game on while I went to eat or whatever.
Every time I re-use your guide, I see more additions and updates. Major props to you for keeping it up to date!
I cannot believe you are offering up this masterpiece for free, but people sure love you for it! Do you accept any form of donations?
Thank you for this!
Submitted by ladygypsy on Tue, 2008-07-29 01:15.
I had two level 60 alliance characters before I switched to Horde. I zipped my main up to 70 with the help of a buddy. Now I'm leveling my second character on my own. I was completely dreading this, my fourth trip up the ladder to 60 (and beyond) but this guide is making my trip fun. I'm exploring zones and grabbing quests I didn't know existed.
Thank you so much - I recommend your guide to everyone I know!

Level 52 Warlock.
Submitted by Currieriii on Tue, 2008-07-22 15:50.
Hello Jame, I've read through quite a bit of your guide and it seems excellent. I've never used it before and I'm a level 52 Orc Warlock. Was wondering what you think is the best place to jump in. I'm one to finish random quests and I noticed that my leveling is getting very slow around this level so hoping your guide will help me progress, since I did random quests what do you recommend, following your guide and if I have already finished the quest ignore that quest and do the others that you state?
Thank you for your feedback and your great guide!
Where to start =)
Submitted by Hirsch on Sun, 2008-07-20 12:37.
Hey Jame, i'd first of all like to say Kudos to you on making such a fantastic looking free guide.
I've been using another outdated leveling guide up until this point, but it has alot of errors and I feel as though im running around way too much.
I'd like to ask you on your view of where I should START in your guide. I play Priest alongside a Mage friend of mine and we have been exclusively questing together in a Group since we started. We are now level 25, and we have done nearly ALL Stonetalon and Southern Barrens quests. Done 2 quests in Ashenvale and started in 1k needles (done message to freewind Post, alien egg, pacify the centaur, test of faith). We have NOT touched any quests in Hillsbrad though.
Bearing in mind I quest in a group, (and most of the time been behind the old guide in terms of xp and what lvl I ought to be when I finish a zone) where do you suggest I start on your guide. I've heard you say that being infront of your guide (lvl & xp-wise) is a good thing?
I look forward to your reply, and fully understand that it will take a while to get back on track to the guide when starting mid-way, but any pointers on a place to start would be greatly appreciated. ^^
Many thanks, Hirsch.
Submitted by Slakos on Sun, 2008-07-20 06:21.
There is a easy questline that invloves goign places you are alredy going that should be added to your guide.
During the level 30 section, add a part at either the part when your going from TB->hearthstone->Org or Splintertree->Org (start of level 31)To stop at the cross roads and pick up the quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1145 then deliver it to the guy in orgrimar at the start of level 31 section for a easy 1450xp and pick up the follow up. Then turn in the follow up at the start of the 32 section when you are running to the shimmering flats for a easy 2150 xp, and pick up the follow up. If at the end of the 32 section you find yourself not 33 yet compleat the third section of this quest rather then killing random guys otherwise abandon it. (Its a hardish quest)
Also another thing you might want to add, is that at the end of the 31 section you can pick up the quest http://www.wowhead.com/?quest=1361 then turn it in when your flying from Orgrimar too freewind post, for a measily 675xp, (not out of your way though) and pick up the follow up and turn it in whenever you reach the desolance level 37 section for another 675xp, really only worth 6 kills of XP but its really easy and quicker then killing the 6 guys.
Where to start now??

Ive got a problem...
Submitted by TKMantis on Thu, 2008-07-10 08:38.
Ive leveled many characters since wow came out. But one thing I try to avoid is STV and instead level in desolace. I was suprised to see STV on the places to go. My lvl 33ish warrior could not do much quests in STV without getting ganked especially around Nessingwary's camp.
It has taken me around 5 hours to do all the quests in STV because of alliance camping Nessingwary. I had to log out for the day because BGs had shut down and a lot of 70 alliance have decided to raid STV instead. Just my luck!
Maybe you could create an optional place to level instead of STV?

Hi Jame. When is the guide coming out that finishes Netherstorm and Shadowmoon?

The Celtics center, who sat out Friday night's win over the Sacramento Kings, could be given a second straight game off, though guard Nate Robinson is expected to face the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night.
They went 11 straight games this month without having any players sidelined because of injuries.
That streak came to an end on Friday night when the Boston Celtics did not have center Kendrick Perkins available against the Sacramento Kings due to tendinitis in his left knee.
Then, during the second quarter of a 94-86 victory over the Kings, the Celtics lost backup point guard Nate Robinson to a sprained left ankle.
When the Celtics face the San Antonio Spurs tonight at the TD Garden, Perkins may sit out a second straight game, though Robinson should be able to play.
Perkins was given Friday night off in a precautionary move to rest his sore knee. Since the Celtics don't play again until Wednesday night when the Oklahoma City Thunder visit, Perkins would have six days off in between games if he doesn't face the Spurs.
Coach Doc Rivers is unsure whether he will go that route or have Perkins, who received treatment on Saturday, play against the Spurs.
Prior to Friday night, Perkins had missed only one game this season when he had flu-like symptoms on March 2 and didn't go against the Detroit Pistons.
Robinson, who was injured when he drove to the basket, did not return after being taken to the locker room for treatment on Friday night.
He was back on the court on Saturday afternoon when the Celtics practiced in Waltham and should be available for the third game on a six-game homestand.
Record for Pierce: Paul Pierce became the Celtics' all-time career leader in foul shots made during the win over the Kings.
Pierce, who went 10-for-12 from the line, has converted 5,373 free throws in his nearly 12 seasons.
That breaks the franchise mark set by John Havlicek, who connected on 5,369 foul shots during his 16 seasons.
Pierce, who sat out practice on Saturday to get some rest, ranks 22nd all-time in the NBA and needs 22 more foul shots to pass Patrick Ewing and Lenny Wilkens and move into the top 20.

Recently there's been a revolution of sorts around the word "hustle". Long the mantra of entrepreneurs, "hustle" has started to get a bad rap, and some folks have started waving a big white flag calling for a cease and desist.
I'm considering throwing my hat into the ring.
Last week I came out with a new book with the awesome Ken Blanchard, a mentor and leader who has changed the way I think about business (and life). We've worked on the book for years and its publication is a big ole' deal to me. One Minute Mentoring: How to Find and Work with a Mentor — and Why You'll Benefit from Being One is all about mentoring, and why mentoring matters to help you level up in life.
Book launches are big times, and they are SO chock full of the big and the little that for me it sometimes feels like it's hard to get much breathing in. Combine a few international trips, a few speaking events, tons of press interviews, and three little kids and you've got a tried and true recipe for getting real overwhelmed, real fast.
If we're being authentic (and we are), I'm close.
And it's not surprising.
I knew it would be this way, and so for almost a year I've been trying to prepare for the onslaught of publication month. I knew this would be one of the busiest times I've had in a couple years. It's here, and boy is it!
So what can you do in a time you know is going to be busy if you are trying to #banbusy from your vocabulary and are considering the ramifications of eliminating HUSTLE from your dictionary as well?
Here are some things I'm doing.
I'd love to hear what you've done, what works for you, and how you find grace for yourself in the hustle. Tell me here.
- I'm keeping my peak work hours sacred. If you've never heard of your biological prime time, it's a game changer and in Work by Design School I teach an in-depth exercise to help you narrow down exactly when doing the day you are at your best. Ensuring you know when you're at your best, and when you're not, is essential to doing great work more of the time, and doing more resting and playing throughout your life. If you've never heard of this concept, this simple quiz will give you a glimpse. Keep in mind that the concept of doing hard work in your peak hours doesn't work every day, because sometimes there are things that have to happen at those hours you can't avoid, but it IS a great guide.
- I'm prioritizing sleep. "Oh hey I'm Claire and I sleep a million hours a night." It's true. I need sleep, and I need it now more than ever. Sleep is essential, and I'm reminded of this daily. Luckily, I also have someone in my life who values it as well. An hour before writing this, I was having a conversation with my husband about our schedule for tomorrow. I had to make a logistical decision about my plan for the morning, and was weighing the pros and cons. My husband summarized pretty succinctly one of the key things I teach about productivity. What did he say? Sleep in tomorrow morning, Claire. It's better for your productivity to sleep tomorrow than to wake early and be tired all day. True that. Done.
- I'm doubling down on email best practices. Not hanging out in your email inbox is one of the hands-down most important things you can do to get your best work done, and to NOT get sucked into other people's to-do lists. When you're really busy and feel that life is going at a million miles a minute and you can't keep up, it's very tempting to think that if you hang out in your email inbox you can at least take a stab at getting SOME things done on time! NOT TRUE. Sitting around in there is going to make it infinitely worse. When I'm in a season of hustle, I've got to be disciplined and check only a few times a day in concentrated bursts. (For some other great ideas on best practices to keep the busy at bay, see this free ebook. One key strategy inside I didn't discuss above? Spending the first 10 minutes of your day planning the next 10 hours. Check it out here.)
- I'm making hard decisions. This week I had to make a hard decision to put off something big I had planned. At the end of the day, I just needed more time and wasn't ready to press GO. Yes, it was hard to pull the trigger on, and yes it will disappoint some folks, but I know what I know.
- I'm remembering to be vulnerable. One of the worst myths in society is that vulnerability makes us weak. It doesn't. Instead, research shows that it actually makes us strong. This week I got some incredibly wise counsel from some incredibly wise folks about a few key areas in my life, and the only reason I got it is because I was willing to lay it on the line and be vulnerable. Can I say awesome?

King County Prosecutors Drove Me To Drink
King County Prosecutors, Prosecutor Dan Satterberg's Office, King County Washington State, in Seattle
No, it was not me that was driven to drink, but another.
Woe to the King County Prosecutors Office of Washington State for causing the innocent to sin.
Woe to the King County Prosecutors Office of Washington State in Seattle because they wanted a hate crime for their self-ending goals.
Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! (Matthew 18:7)
~ reference article below ~
The unique and special love at Sound Doctrine Church was so great, that once shattered, I found myself completely empty. I had so much pain and torment in my heart I had to numb it. I had to drink. Like any alcoholic it builds over time. The drinks increase, the dependence grows. Eventually if I didn't have alcohol in my system I would get the shakes, my brain would be foggy, and I couldn't think straight. My dependence became so bad I would not leave the house without a bottle of whiskey. All my friends knew I would always have a bottle of Jack or Jameson on me. If I needed to hide my drinking vodka in Gatorade would get the job done. Every night became a weekend; every night became a drinking night.
I had turned my back on Jesus…

Paul Wesley Talks Directing His First 'Vampire Diaries' Episode
Paul Wesley heads into the studio for an appearance on WPix 11′s morning news program on Tuesday (April 15) in New York City.
The 31-year-old actor dropped by to talk about his upcoming directorial debut on this week's episode of The Vampire Diaries.
"That has sort of infused a new level excitement in my life," Paul said about getting behind the camera. "You have to really try not to be a narcissist. You have to be objective enough to say, 'OK, I'm going to move on. I'm not going to do that take again because I didn't like how my hair was off in one angle.'"
He added, "It's funny, people think the director is the leadership role, but I needed [the actors] so badly. I needed them as much as they needed me. I needed them to be there and nail their performances. And they all came in, knew their lines, and nailed it for me. I was so impressed. There was a little bit of hazing and I was entirely expecting that. But they were much more respectful than I would have imagined, or I would have been to them (laughs)."
To see some exclusive photos from the episode, head on over to

Road Trip Essentials
Jun 26, 2014
Road trips are about as great as you can make them. Depending on your company, your adventures and what you eat along the way, it can be a memorable journey or a nightmare. The key to any successful road trip is plenty of healthy snacks. I've made the mistake many times of eating junk food along the way, but don't do it. Junk food can make you sluggish, grouchy, irritable, and just plain uncomfortable. Then, not only do you have to recover from the long drive, you have to recover from the junk food. Here are 7 ways to have a memorable and feel-good trip.
1) Snack Bars: They just make things easy. You can find a recipe you enjoy or purchase one of the many options out there. Lucky for us, bars are increasing in quality and taste. Here are a few of the healthier options: GoMacro, Kit's Organic (a part of Clif Bar), and Thunderbird Energetica. For those that are Paleo and looking for organic and grass fed protein, EPIC Bars (Thunderbird Energetica's sister company) are a decent option.
2) Fresh Vegetables: Never underestimate the power of celery sticks or carrots dipped in tasty hummus. Celery especially provides a good amount of water to keep you hydrated and fed during your trip. Make sure you bring a small cooler to keep your snacks chilled and ready to eat!
3) Fresh Fruits: Slice up some fresh fruit the night before your trip so you'll have something refreshing and sweet to eat along the way. Some good choices are watermelon, honeydew, cantaloupe, or tangerines. If you want easy no-slice options apples, strawberries, and blueberries are perfect. As always, choose seasonal, organic produce.
4) Bring Lunch: If you are traveling with a sophisticated crowd you might want to consider making Mason jar salads. Leave extra room at the top so you can mix them up without needing a bowl, but don't forget to pack a fork. Here are some of our favorite salad in jars recipes.
5) Containers: Packing food can be a bit of a challenge these days, we can't quite depend on Tupperware like we used to with all of the toxic chemicals in plastics. Plastics harbor endocrine disrupting compounds that are bad for our health. They are also very bad for the environment, but luckily there are eco-friendly alternatives. Stainless steel is always a good option and EcoLunchbox has a nice set-up and size. Or, you can try reusable snack or sandwich bags made by Lunchskins. They are BPA, phthalate and lead free, and dishwasher safe!
6) Entertainment: A long road trip can be challenging, especially if you have kids. Try to have fun games for them to play, some books to read, and some drawing utensils. Car time doesn't have to be boring. If they are starting to get antsy, try singing along to some of their favorite songs or engage them with the scenery passing by. Have them on the lookout for hawks, owls, squirrels, deer, and any other critter that might show up. If road conditions allow, taking short breaks in nature can be a nice relief from being cramped up in the car. Everyone can stretch their legs, run around for a few minutes, breathe some fresh air and soak in some sunshine. Yoga poses are also a good way to ease your back and legs from sitting.
7) Drink Up: Nobody wants to stop a car trip every 5 minutes for someone to use the restroom, but it's crucial to stay hydrated. Bottles of water are a must, but some other great drinks to bring are:
Coconut Water: rich in electrolytes and magnesium, this sweet treat is hydrating, relaxing and yummy!
Iced Green Tea: this tea has been touted for its health benefits, and can be used as a milder substitute for coffee. You can steep it the day before and refrigerate overnight!
Chamomile Tea: this tea has a mild sedative effect to it, making it handy to have when your child is struggling to fall asleep for the night or a nap. Skip if there is any allergy to ragweed.
Whether it's a long trip or a short one its important to take care of yourself and your family. Sitting in a car for any length of time is wholly unnatural. Take breaks if you need them, hydrate, eat good food, stretch your body out and most importantly, enjoy your trip!

BYU football notebook: Offensive line rotation set for Virginia
Carson Provo, UTAug. 29, 2013 4:50 p.m.
Omaha, NE
Re: Max-was-right.
Who is Max and what was he correct about? Are you refering to Max Hall? If so, are you alluding to his embarrassing tirade about the U and its fans, players, and students? I am not sure I would claim your ID as this was truly embarrassing for both schools and especially the Faith which BYU represents.
Go UTES!
LOL he told you Sammy!
RBN Salt Lake City, UTAug. 29, 2013 9:31 a.m.
Oregon has talent and depth on the O line. BYU doesn't.
Why would the offense be able to sub fresh bodies and the defense can't? As soon the DC sees an OL coming on the field, he sends in a DL sub.
u25 West Jordan, UTAug. 29, 2013 8:14 a.m.
There are a lot of teams that run a hurry up offense and NONE rotate lineman. This is ingenious thinking or a cop out for lineman who arent in shape. By the way oregon doesnt rotate players, but they do have smaller guicker lineman that are in fantastic shape.
u25 West Jordan, UTAug. 29, 2013 8:10 a.m.
Subbing o-lineman is a recipe for disaster. Not sure how any coach would think this is a good idea. Does Bronco really back this or is it being forced on him. false starts, holding, bad snaps. Putting inferior players on the field, that are charged with protecting the quarter back is not sound judgement. This cant last more than 1 game.
The Rock Federal Way, WAAug. 28, 2013 7:35 p.m.
Chris B
Did you change your name to 54-10?
Gees, talk about living in the past. If you want a Borg designation you could have chosen 7 of 9.
Down under Salt Lake City, UTAug. 28, 2013 5:05 p.m.
54-10 has obviously coached in the NFL so we should all listen to him. Your use of LOL is very passé. BYU will be fine with this rotation. It does not mean that anyone is out of shape. I means that the pace is picked up so that defenses cannot keep up. Maybe you should worry about your own utsie lineman. I hear they are over weight and out of shape.
cowboy99 South Jordan, UTAug. 28, 2013 3:52 p.m.
Chill out people! This whole playing 10 different lineman is not weird or new. Oregon has been doing this for years now and it has worked splendidly. One of the nice things about this pace thing is we'll be able to sub in fresh bodies and the defense won't.
wahului Stockton, CAAug. 28, 2013 2:48 p.m.
Quick!! Someone get those idiot BYU coaches to read the posts on this board before it's too late!!!!!!
Cougar Claws Lindon, UTAug. 28, 2013 11:42 a.m.
Re: Ironman and Pavalova
The plan is to basically go go go for a streak of plays (maybe 10-15) until the lineman can't go anymore and get tired, then they get subbed out. It's not like their getting subbed out every play, just until they can't go anymore. That will be the coaches decision, not the players.
Also, assuming the offense is successful (which it should be because it's been proven to work), and BYU is better conditioned than their opponent, BYU will be moving the ball very efficiently and at a rate that keeps the defense on their heels, this will create momentum on the side of the offense that will keep them more energized and the opponent tired. As far as penalties, again, they aren't going to be subbing that often, only until the lineman can't go anymore, which the coaches said could be anywhere from 10-15 plays. So there shouldn't be any more penalties than there usually are. If you noticed, BYU has a highly penalized team with a slow paced offense. But, some of the teams with the most wins also have the most penalties. Just saying.
goforit Provo, UTAug. 28, 2013 11:28 a.m.
Utah has a better chance of being undefeated going into their game against each other, than BYU does. I don't think either team will be undefeated then. Offensive line is so important in football. BYU is weak. I don't think the coaches have a lot of confidence in the o-line. I still predict losing seasons for both teams. Schedules are very difficult.

Go UTES!
Pavalova Surfers Paradise, AUAug. 28, 2013 10:13 a.m.
How many holding penalties will the team endure till they realize that subbing in linemen at that pace will no doubt create penalties on the offensive end because they're not prepared for the snap. Just wondering. This time in known for the most inopportune holding penalty at the worst time.
Wookie Omaha, NEAug. 28, 2013 9:38 a.m.
Logically speaking, I would not want to be a lineman at the Y. Reasoning: I would be worried that the NFL scouts would not see enough of me to anticipate me playing in the NFL as an every down lineman. Hopefully this is a one year deal until the Y figures out their O-line situation, but if this becomse the norm, I would play elsewhere if I was hoping for the NFL.
Max-was-right springville, UTAug. 28, 2013 8:07 a.m.
5-7 and talking smack.
Ute fans lets talk about your bowl game last year, shall we?
Pioneer Marriott-Slaterville, UtAug. 28, 2013 8:01 a.m.
after another 5-7 season perhaps 54-10 can change his id to 5-7 ???
Ironmomo Ogden, UtahAug. 28, 2013 7:49 a.m.
What happened to the "Go Hard, Go Fast" philosophy? Not sure if Anae realizes this, but subbing players into a game also gives your opponent the same opportunity to sub players. If the "Go Hard, Go Fast" philosophy is to work you have to be in shape to run the offensive series of downs, no matter how many there are.
Monk Pleasant Grove, UTAug. 28, 2013 7:24 a.m.
Holy Cow!! Is everyone else as excited as I am? I can barely contain it. The BYU Cougars are so neat-o!!
u25 West Jordan, UTAug. 28, 2013 7:18 a.m.
I've never heard of o-line subbing. need to get those lineman in shape. None of the hurry up offenses rotate lineman regardless of depth.
RBN Salt Lake City, UTAug. 28, 2013 7:15 a.m.
" Yes, I hereby declare wins against Virginia, Texas and Utah to start the season... I will let the team do the talking before I go trolling in lol land!"
And yet you "declared" wins rather than waiting to see actual wins before you went trolling.
Rotating the entire offensive line works about as well as rotating quarterbacks, and is perhaps even more disastrous.
Adirondack Cougar Loon Lake, NYAug. 28, 2013 6:24 a.m.
I hope it works as smoothly as the article, players and coach predict. I am particularly concerned about rotating centers and snaps to the QB, it's always scary when that combination changes during a game. I expect some mistakes but hope the firepower of the offense and the toughness of the D will overcome those mistakes. Go Coogs.
okc2000 Provo, UTAug. 28, 2013 12:32 a.m.
if anything, the O-line has to be better than last year!
Cougar Claws Lindon, UTAug. 27, 2013 11:44 p.m.
Re: 54-10
I'd like to see you weigh 300+ pounds in full pads and move at the pace they are going to be moving at. The lineman are in plenty good shape.
54-10 WHOOPTY DOO! bountiful, utAug. 27, 2013 11:20 p.m.
Funny that such a post would come from someone who could start the season 1-2... The team 'they' came to bash will be sitting at 2-0 when the blah red machine comes through Provo and with the win that day (September 21st for the layman) 3-0 versus 1-3... You really should let the team do some talking first before you dwelling on 2011 come in here to 'bash'... I mean seriously... I now hope for an Aggie or is that Grabbie win more than I did a week ago! The trash talk mandates a poor season start. Oh, and that lone win, Weber State... WHOOPTY DOO! lol Yes, I hereby declare wins against Virginia, Texas and Utah to start the season... I will let the team do the talking before I go trolling in lol land! But gosh, talk about fodder if 1-2 at home... Losses to USU and OSU will be hilarious beyond all description! Simply because they will have happened in a sea of red fans! At least save for the candy cane fest on Thursday night!
Rational Salt Lake City, UTAug. 27, 2013 11:03 p.m.
Has this ever been tried anywhere?
Kralon HUNTINGTON BEACH, CAAug. 27, 2013 10:45 p.m.
It will be fun to see how this new offense does in real games, can't wait! Go Cougars!
54-10 Salt Lake City, UTAug. 27, 2013 10:08 p.m.
"Offensive line rotation" is code word for "Not very good and out of shape."
Rotating offensive lineman, thats a good one.

The 1897-S Half Dollar is one of the tougher dates of the 1890's. It is not as rare as the 1897-O or the 1898-S, but it is also far less common than the majority of the dates in the series. Our experts ranked it 19th rarest overall out of all the Barber Half Dollar dates. In MS65 and better grades, the 1897-S is 16th rarest overall. These are still rather impressive credentials even if the 1897-S is not the superstar it was once considered to be.
One of the benefits of third-party grading is that it gives us a fairly objective view of relative rarity and how difficult coins are to find in certain grades. In the pre-third party grading era, determinations of rarity were driven by personal experience, anecdotal evidence, seller bias, and pure guesswork. The new information gleaned from population reports is a double-edged sword: some coins have risen in stature and others have been diminished. Nevertheless, the 1897-S is a remarkable date that still commands a lot of respect today.
Virtually all 1897-S Half Dollars are struck well. If there is ever any weakness, it will be on the upper right shield point and the adjacent feathers.

Clayton Rask went into Sunday's third round of the Minnesota State Open atop the leaderboard after shooting a 6-under-par 66 the day before. On the back nine, however, he recorded two bogeys and a double-bogey, closing with a 5 on the par-4 18th hole.
Rask's late-day trouble at Edinburgh USA became eventual winner Jon DuToit's big break.
DuToit, 20, a sophomore at the University of Minnesota, won his first State Open after he birdied the first playoff hole. DuToit, Rask and Sammy Schmitz all finished with an 8-under-par 208 at the end of three rounds of regulation.
"I was pretty nervous," DuToit said about the playoff. "I tried not to really focus on what was going on."
Rask, who said he had to hit out of a divot on the 18th hole in regulation, found more trouble in the playoff hole, driving into a sand trap off the tee.
Schmitz, who made a lengthy putt on the final hole in regulation, missed the birdie putt in the playoff.
DuToit then sunk a 10-foot putt for the victory, throwing his arm in the air in celebration as the ball rolled in.
He walked off the green toward the outstretched arms of his mom and sister, who followed him on the course throughout the day.
"I know my mom's crying over here," DuToit said after his win. "It was cool to see them walking off holes, mom asking me, 'Do you need anything? Do you need a granola bar?' It was fun."
DuToit, who made his State Open debut last summer, said Sunday's victory was the biggest of his career, one that will give him momentum going into the U.S. Amateur qualifier, where he will compete Monday in St. Cloud.
Rask, who won the State Open in 2010, said Sunday's playoff hole was the first of his career.
Despite the novelty of the situation, Rask said he remained calm.
"I wasn't overly nervous or anything," he said. "You could definitely feel the blood pumping a bit more, but that's when you take a deep breath and step back and put yourself back in it."
Because DuToit and Schmitz are amateurs, Rask, who tied Schmitz for second place, took home the $8,500 professional prize. Still, he appeared disappointed, having let the championship barely slip away.
"[My round] was up and down," Rask said. "I made good shots when I had to. Just had a couple unfortunate breaks."

ROME (AP) — Italian police say they have arrested two people who helped run a Milan day care center where belts were used to tie children to chairs.
Police say other children were left in dark rooms, and a toddler was bitten on the face by a female worker.
Police said Monday hidden cameras helped their investigation. Carabinieri Capt. Maurizio De Angelis said children had abuse marks and "it was impossible to think the marks were caused by play given the children's young age."
Italian news reports said that the people arrested denied wrongdoing, and that two others were under investigation. Italian news agency Ansa quoted a grandmother as saying when she asked about marks on her grandson's neck, workers told her he was tugging on his bib.

Undoing is a butoh performance series that explores modes of erasing the individual mind's claim to the body. This radical point of erasure between object and subject is pursued in order to achieve a quality of emptiness. Once the individual has been eclipsed, the ego silenced, the body will be danced. Undoing will undo itself everyday on the Drostdy Lawns at the National Arts Festival Grahamstown.

Gabriel Jones: new Arcade Fire album cover04 June 2010
Gabriel Jones wrote in to tell us about his recent project shooting for Arcade Fire's new album cover, entitled The Suburbs.
These images where taken during a road trip in various suburbs in Texas followed by a studio shoot in Montreal where the selected suburb images where then projected on a large projection screen. The car and band members where positioned in front of the various suburb landscapes. This series of images are exploring a north American suburb experience and the memory that one can have from their suburban youth. A silksceen effect was added in postproduction. Gabriel's images where also used for a postcard which Arcade Fire used to send out to magazines informing them about their upcoming shows and news about the album release. The series was art directed by Vincent Morisset and designed by Caroline Robert. Arcade Fire's album is coming out on august 3rd and 4th.

Noncollective10 March 2010
My friend D.Mo and I just finished a mix for Noncollective: a growing family of mixtapes with psychedelia, disco and rock as somewhat of an underlying theme. Memos In Absentia is our first joint venture and is amongst a tasteful collection of mixes from other special guests.

Memos In Absentia
Energy settles within energies into forms until you are born. As other forms multiply before you, your inner formlessness grows quietly. More and more until friction drops its spark, giving birth to emotions. Accruing, like blossoms and clouds, like a balloon bouquet that shapes and colors our pasts. But when air gives way to wind, ripples to waves, smoke to blaze and land to sediment, we see others laid to rest. And we release balloons, one by one, as those gone show us eternity's perfection lies not in the forms of yesterday or tomorrow. Only in the form of change when moving on.
