We're about 10 minutes away from the tip, and the Rose Garden is looking a bit sparse. No Oden, no Durant, the game being on KGW and tonight being Game One of the World Series might be keeping people at home. I'm here though. So is the AP's Anne Peterson. This game does exists.
Here are the projected starting lineups:
Nick Collison Robert Swift
Mickael Gelabale Jeff Green
Portland Trail Blazers
Steve Blake The Home/Guest scoreboard has No. 1 starting, which would be Jarrett Jack.
A few quick, inconsequential note:
Luke Ridnour is wearing a protective mask.
Robert Swift has some serious red hair
Steve Blake has some facial hair going.
The set of the new Trail Blazers pre-game show is pretty nice.
The halftime performance tonight is the Taco Bell Chalupa Shoot
A Toast of the Town are performing the National Anthem tonight.

"blah blah blah....There are only six teams that can't make the playoffs (Nationals, Royals, Devil Rays, Reds, Pirates and Orioles), and of the 25 teams that have a shot, any shot, at playing in October, roughly 15 of them could win the World Series -- about three times as much real competition as the Yankees faced in the '90s.....blah blah blah"
Ok Mr. Verducci, first of all the Reds were less than 5 games out of the playoffs last year. Less than 5 games=you have a shot, thats all.
Second, It sickens me that the Reds are listed in that sad bunch. We don't belong in there....right?

2012 DL has good return trip
Last week's win over Wake Forest saw a number of visitors, particularly for the 2012 recruiting class. One of those was a prospect making his third trip to campus this fall, what did he think about the win?
"It was pretty good, I enjoyed it a lot," Lynchburg (Va.) Brookville 2012 defensive tackle Korren Kirven said. "They won of course, they blew Wake Forest out and that's always a good thing.
"So far this season I've been to the Wake Forest game, James Madison game and East Carolina."
Was there much different for the lineman this time around?
"Not really, I enjoyed myself again and had a lot of fun," he said. "I got to go out on the 50 and talk to Coach Beamer. I enjoyed that and I tailgated with all my friends.
"Beamer didn't really say anything. He just said hi and said it was nice to see me. I did talk to Coach Stinespring though; he was asking how my season is going and how he'd like to see me up there. I meant to bring him my film, but I forgot and plan to send it to them soon."
On the recruiting front, interest is picking up for Kirven recently.
"I'm getting mail from North Carolina, Virginia, Penn State, Rutgers, Texas A&M, Alabama, Duke, Tennessee and Oregon," he said. "I've been invited to some games.
"I've already been to Duke and Virginia. I'm scheduled to go to Penn State at the end of the month (Saturday) on the 30th when they play Michigan. I'll be back at Virginia Tech for the Georgia Tech game of course."
Kirven and Brookville are 7-0 on the season at this point in time.
"We had a close one to Heritage last week and won with three minutes left," he said. "In terms of me, I'm doing well. I have five or six sacks and my technique is a lot better this year, for sure. I'm making a lot more tackles and helping my team."

The Dolphins have traded Vontae Davis for two 2013 draft picks, the team has confirmed.
One pick is believed to be a second-rounder while the other is believed to be a low-round selection, probably a conditional sixth rounder.
The trading of Vontae Davis today signals the Dolphins are in full rebuild mode.
They have a rookie head coach.
They are trading away current talent for future talent.
They are going with a rookie quarterback -- granted a first-round pick, but a rookie nonetheless.
They are, so far, showing no interest in adding a veteran wide receiver -- having passed on the idea of signing Braylon Edwards when he was available. (Terrell Owens is available now after he was cut by Seattle today.)
Back to Davis, general manager Jeff Ireland released a statement on the trade that failed to explain why the team is taking this step:
"We appreciate all the contributions Vontae has made to the Dolphins since we drafted him in 2009 and we want to wish him the best of success in Indianapolis," Ireland said.
I suppose one can argue the Dolphins are getting good value in that they now have two second round picks slated for 2013. Except the Dolphins haven't exactly hit home runs with their second round picks in recent years.
Phillip Merling was a second-round pick. Chad Henne was a second-round pick. Pat White was a second-round pick. Koa Misi was a second round pick. Daniel Thomas was a second-round pick. Most are gone. None are stars.
Colts GM Ryan Grigson, meanwhile, is pleased with his move.
“Bottom line with this move today is we got better as a football team,” Grigson said. “That is always the goal each day for this organization. From the first time he stepped on the field at Illinois as a freshman or in the National Football League as a rookie, you knew Vontae was a special talent. Now he has a chance under Coach (Chuck) Pagano and this coaching staff to reach not only his potential as a football player, but as a person as well. That is our collective goal moving forward.”

Author Notes: There's a recipe for fried dough in every nook and cranny of this universe. This combination is a happy marriage of Nigerian puff-puff,....and the liquid gold of Canada. And what a happy union tis too.
The resulting puff is soft, with pendants of crunch, sweetened with maple and made fragrant with cardamom and orange zest. Were it not for my waistline, this could easily be breakfast. Lunch and Dinner. Yes, that good...to me! —Kitchen Butterfly
Makes a bowlful
Orange-Cardamom-Maple glazed Puff Puffs
- 3 - 4 tablespoons of granulated/caste sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt/kosher salt
- 2-3 loose cups plain, all purpose flour plus extra to dust
- 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast
- Oil, to deep fry
- Maple glaze (recipe below)
- Make batter:In a large bowl, pour in 1 cup of lukewarm water. To it, add the sugar and salt. Stir to combine and add a cup of flour, and the yeast. Then slowly add the rest of the flour, stirring with a wooden spoon or a dough whisk till combined. The resulting dough should be smooth with no lumps. Let rest, covered with a greased kid or greased clingfilm overnight in the refrigerator till risen, or at least 4 hours.
- Fry batter: Heat up some oil in a large, deep pan or wok – the oil should be a couple of inches deep or you will end up with pancakes, rather than balls. Another alternative is to use your deep-fat fryer , set to 180 degrees centigrade. Don’t let the oil overheat if using the stovetop – a cube of bread should brown in 30 seconds! With your fingers or an oiled spoon, scoop batter the size of walnuts or a tad smaller and gently drop into the oil. The frying dough balls should begin to rise to the top of the oil almost immediately. Let the puff-puff brown on the underside and then flip them over, if they dont turn themselves. This is the tough part because the browned sides tend to want to stay under, and the uncooked sides….give in. You’ll have to keep the light side down to cook properly so the balls are brown all over. They should cook in 3-4 minutes. Remove from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Allow at least 5 – 10 minutes to allow the balls cool down.
- Glaze puffs: Once the balls are cold enough to handle, dip one half in the maple glaze and place on a rack for 2 - 3 minutes till the glaze is set. Find a cup of coffee...and get eating!
- 1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1-2 teaspoons (liquid) milk
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon microplaned orange zest
- Freshly ground seeds of 2-4 green cardamom pods
- Combine all the ingredients and mix till smooth.
- This recipe was entered in the contest for Your Best Maple Recipe

Step-by-step: Yes
Training: No

The article provides a clear sequence of ordered steps for making Orange-Cardamom-Maple glazed Puff Puffs, which guide the reader through the process from making the batter to frying and glazing the dough balls. However, while the instructions are detailed, they may lack the depth and structural complexity required for training a language model capable of deeper reasoning, as they primarily focus on the procedural aspects without further elaboration on the underlying principles or potential variations in recipes.

Weddings at the Savoy and Claridge’s London can only be very classy affairs – and this wedding, in July, was no exception. Kavita and Anthony asked me to document their wedding, pictorially, starting out at The Savoy Hotel, and them, moving on for a private dining celebration at Gordon Ramsay’s at Claridge’s.
The majority of these images are black and white – as that was the wish of Anthony and Kavita. There is a splash of colour though of course. Many of these photographs were shot with the Fuji X100 alongside my existing Canon gear. There are a lot of images in this selection, mostly because I really love them of course, but I also want to show off some more of the X100 images – which this type of intimate wedding is a perfect camera to use.
Hopefully, regular readers of my blog and past and future wedding photography clients understand that I class myself as a pure documentary wedding photographer. Storytelling of the wedding is the key facet of my remit.
You perhaps will also know that I’m a huge fan of the old filmatic style images and as such, I edit my work to resemble film produced images as much as possible. I’ll keep an eye out for details and shoot within the storytelling paradigm as much as possible. For example, the images of Kavita’s stunning wedding dress below were shot in-situ, with no prompting, directing, moving or orchestrating from me at all. An adjustment of my camera angle allowed me to get some interesting shots in a confined space of the dress.
Anthony and Kavita had a wonderful ceremony at The Savoy, followed by afternoon tea with their close friends and family. A quick break from the day at The American Bar for a cocktail before being whisked off in The Phantom to Clardge’s in Mayfair. Here, Kavita and Anthony enjoyed a private dining evening at Gordon Ramsay’s.
The very last image in this set is perhaps my favourite. I had been told, quite directly, that photography in the main restaurant area at Claridges was prohibited (which I fully understand). However, Kavita wanted a wide shot of the whole table, which wasn’t really possible at the time. I waited until I was on my way out of the restraunt, turned on my heels and shot one frame using the X100. I love this image – it was a very lucky moment of course, as Kavita and Anthony are kissing at the moment of exposure. This shot would not have been possible with a DSLR in my opinion.
Weddings at the Savoy and Claridge’s, and in fact, London itself are a challenging place to work as a wedding photographer – especially in multiple locations, however, it affords itself to documentary wedding photography so well. Especially Weddings at the Savoy and Claridge’s

By Nate Rohr
Big 12 Campus Correspondent
From the day he was born, Big 12 athletics has been a big part of the life of Nebraska first baseman Tyler Farst.
He is the son of Michael Farst, who lettered in football at Texas Tech in 1986, and the nephew of Karen Farst, who lettered in women’s basketball at Tech from 1986 to 1990. His older brother, Travis, was a four-year football letterwinner for Baylor from 2002 to 2006 and a two-year starter for the Bears at offensive tackle.
“I have always been surrounded by sports my entire life,” Tyler Farst said. “My brother and I would always play football in the front yard. My dad would play catch with us. We would always play games in the front yard and have a fun time being competitive.”
Tyler was shaped particularly by his battles against his older brother, Travis, as the two grew up in Cedar Park, Texas. Travis, who was listed at 6'-7", 333 pounds as a senior in 2006 at Baylor, presented unique challenges as he battled Tyler, who came into the season listed at 6'-0", 212 pounds.
“He’s always been about twice my size,” Tyler Farst said.. “He was bigger and stronger than me, so competing against him gave me a lot more agility. All his roughhousing with me taught me how to be quick on my feet and fight through adversity.”
To this day, Tyler remembers defeating Travis in a game of one-on-one football in the yard. Tyler was about eight-years-old, and Travis was about 10.
“I juked him and ran all the way down to the other side of the yard, which was a ways away, for the touchdown,” Tyler Farst said. “Right after, Mom called for dinner. He hadn’t scored, so I won. It was a great feeling because football was always his game and he always dominated.”
Those battles built a hunger to succeed in Tyler Farst.
“I think being so competitive at a young age help me be competitive now,” Farst said. “I’m always wanting better, always wanting more.”
That drive for excellence pushed Farst to honors as the top male athlete at Cedar Park High School in 2005, as he starred on district championship teams in both baseball and football. He evened gained honorable-mention all-state honors as a senior. Farst moved on to Grayson County College and redshirted his first season. In his second year at Grayson, Farst hit .222 with two home runs and four RBIs on a GCC squad that earned a 43-13 record and a Northern Texas Conference championship.
Farst caught the eye of the Nebraska coaching staff and came north to visit. Despite chilly weather, Farst still received a warm welcome.
“I came up here on a visit and the weather was cold, so I definitely didn’t come for the weather,” Farst said. “I met the coaches, and they were all nice. Then I saw the facilities. I met the team, and they were about the nicest guys you could meet. Nebraska was a better fit for me.”
As he considered coming to Nebraska, Tyler’s brother, Travis, again loomed large. This time, though, he was a supporter, not an opponent, for Tyler.
“He had played against Nebraska and he said that Nebraska had great fans,” Tyler Farst said. “He was super excited when I got the chance to come and visit and he was really happy when I committed to Nebraska.”
With that, Tyler Farst came north to be a Husker. His experience against imposing opponents proved important as he made the transition from junior-college to Big 12 baseball.
“The tempo of the game is just so much quicker in the Big 12 compared to junior-college ball,” Farst said. “It took me a while to catch to the pace. The pitching is 20 times better in the Big 12 than it is in junior college. The pitchers are pitching for outs and they spot up the ball well. It took me a while to get into the tempo, but over time, I figured it out.”
Farst sat for most of the first half of the season behind fellow Texan Craig Corriston at first base. In Nebraska’s first 41 games of the season, Farst hit just .179 in 29 at-bats. But after Corriston was injured and forced to undergo season-ending knee surgery, Farst heated up, hitting .333 (18-for-54) with two home runs and 12 RBI in Nebraska’s final 15 games, including a standout 4-for-10 showing with a homer and two RBI against No. 12 Missouri in mid-May.
“A lot of it was just that I didn’t want to let the team down,” Farst said. “Craig going down left a big hole in our lineup. It was a huge hole that I had to fill. I was just adjusting to the tempo, and it all worked out well.”
Farst hit .333 in the regional including a go-ahead home run against Eastern Illinois on May 30, and ended his first year at NU hitting .280 with two home runs and 15 RBI.
In 2009, a young pitching staff has limited Nebraska’s success on the field, as the Huskers are 17-20-1 entering Tuesday’s game at Creighton. Farst has done his part, as he’s second on the team with a .327 average with two home runs and 27 RBI, also good for second on the team. Though the year has been frustrating so far, Farst, experienced in fighting long odds from all those battles with his brother, believes Nebraska needs to continue pushing.
“We’re all still together as a team,” Farst said. “We need to be more competitive in the fights that we get into on the field. We’re still in the hunt for the Big 12 Tournament. We just need to come together more than we are right now. We want to get better every day.”
The Huskers finally showed progress on the field by beating Iowa, 8-5, on Tuesday, April 14 at Hawks Field in Lincoln, to snap a nine-game losing streak.
“It was definitely great to get the win,” Farst said. “All the wins are important for us. We were fighting the entire game. We felt that we had to win that game. We feel like we have to win every game.”
With a strong competitive edge honed by years of high-level athletic battles with his brother, Farst will try to drive the Huskers into the Big 12 Championships, continuing a legacy of athletic excellence from the Farst family.

Please and Thank You in Advance
One of the challenges NBA scouts and executives face when evaluating draftees is that, for the most part, pro and college basketball are two different games played similarly. Much of the college game is lost in the pros. So players who have difficulty in some aspects of the NCAA game can quickly blossom in the NBA because those particular aspects no longer matter as much.
Similarly, players who excel at one aspect in college often are forced to change their style and, as a result, they bring new talents to the table that were not needed previously. The same thing can happen with players who come over from Europe, as that game can be viewed as similar to college, only with much better players.
All this creates annual surprises, as young guys excel in the NBA landscape much quicker than what would have been thought just six months ago. And of course, it's one reason why any talk of players not being "ready" for the pros because of some particular weakness is typically just silly conversation.
Biggest surprise: College
Andre Drummond, Pistons
Project. That's what Drummond's label was coming out of high school and his one season at Connecticut.
Part of that was because of a suspect motor, part because of a lack of strong fundamentals and overall strength, which kept him from being a consistent impact player at school even though he's huge and agile.
Cut to Detroit, though, and we see him playing with energy and athleticism on almost every play. That part of the game is easier for him now in part because the floor is spaced so much better in the NBA. The game is wider now, and his teammates are pros, not teenagers. So even though the Pistons are a bad team, they still understand the importance of spacing and playing under control.
The games are also officiated tighter in the NBA, meaning Drummond can't be pushed around the same way he was in college. It's a hard concept for fans to digest, but the college game is more physical than the pro game because it is allowed to be. The men in the NBA are stronger, naturally, but the game is cleaner, which allows a player like Drummond, who has not developed "man strength" yet, to make plays inside the paint and above the rim more easily now than before.
This also helps him as a scorer with the ball in his hands. On multiple occasions he has finished a shot that appeared to use more "luck" than skill. But combine all those shots together and you can see that there's some skill that is starting to peek out. Drummond is able to rebound better now too because of the more open game, and when combined with his ability to make shots, he has been the most pleasant surprise of this rookie class.
Biggest surprise: International
Alexey Shved, Timberwolves
At a lunch this summer with Wolves GM David Kahn, I heard all about how good Shved was. The jump from Europe to the NBA is never something that can be taken lightly, as the NBA is faster and far more athletic than the European version. But every season it seems we see a player make the jump look like child's play, and this year that guy is Shved.
Unlike some guys who come to the NBA after a number of years playing professionally overseas, Shved is young, at just 23 years old -- younger than some college draft picks most years. But he plays like a grizzled NBA veteran, full of craft and an understanding of the deeper game.
Watch him patiently dribble while waiting for a cutter, especially whenAndrei Kirilenko is on the court. Shved is also adept at finding someone moving to the rim while he is on the attack, as he keeps his head up and his eyes searching all while hunting the best scoring play for himself or a teammate. This is advanced point guard play -- more advanced than any guard the Wolves have employed other than Ricky Rubio in years.
Shved finds everybody -- cutters, open post players near the rim, same-side shooters and opposite-side snipers waiting for the long pass that most guys don't make. But Shved does, and he does so without ever appearing to be in a rush. This has enabled him to stand out among the rookie guards in this class, as he leads the guards who play significant minutes in both assist and turnover rate.
Shved is struggling as a shooter, but in time he should be at least serviceable. He and Rubio have that, and a lot more, in common. Perhaps most importantly, both guys have proved to be players capable of helping their team win as rookies.
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Bobcats
Being fast and strong is not enough to be a better-than-average player in this league, most of the time. Fortunately for Bobcats fans and coaches, MKG is also showing off his considerable skill and overall feel.
Harrison Barnes, Warriors
Barnes finally had his breakout game. At home against the Hawks on Wednesday night, he showed his versatile game by scoring in a variety of ways: An excellent jab-and-go-opposite move down the baseline with the smart reverse to avoid Josh Smith. A smooth pull-up jumper in transition. Basket cuts, rim slashes and a spot-up 3, plus a sweet follow-up dunk.
Bradley Beal, Wizards
Beal is competing hard on a bad team, but can't figure out a way to make shots. And figuring it out is what it is all about in this league. When the shot is not falling, as is the case here, shooters keep shooting but scorers resort to other means to get buckets. Finding layups or tips, getting paint buckets and earning trips to the line -- those are all things that scorers think about.
Jeremy Lamb, Thunder
Lamb had about as bad a three minutes as a rookie role player could have the other night in Detroit.
First, he fouled Rodney Stuckey as Stuckey was just calmly dribbling the ball 32 feet from the rim. Two plays later, Lamb got stuck on a screen while guarding Stuckey which enabled him to drive and earn an and-1. Then on consecutive defensive possessions -- one in the half court and one in transition -- Lamb had opportunities to "get big" in the paint and help prevent uncontested layups. Both times he did exactly the opposite, giving up a bucket and another and-1. On his next defensive trip, he was holding Tayshaun Prince before the ball was inbounded from under the basket, which resulted in a foul being called, which meant two free throws because the ball was not yet in play.
Pablo Prigioni, Knicks
The 35-year-old rookie is proving my longtime argument that almost always falls on deaf ears: There are dozens of guys in Europe right now who could fit in well with an NBA team if given a chance.
Brian Roberts, Hornets
I spent about eight weeks with Roberts when he first came out of college and another couple of weeks the following summer. He always looked like an NBA player to me, gifted with speed, toughness and an excellent shot. It has taken awhile, but his time in Europe has only helped polish his game and he has taken advantage of his preseason and regular-season minutes in New Orleans.
Jeffery Taylor, Bobcats
Bobcats coach Mike Dunlap said Taylor is being groomed to be another Bruce Bowen-type, though he still has a long way to go to get to even half that level. Taylor's defensive positioning and rotations as the ball flows are sharp, but too often his hands are down as he is in position to contest shots, especially off curls. "Hands up" is something he'll continue to hear frequently from his coaches. Otherwise, what is the point of being long and tall?
Festus Ezeli, Warriors
The big man from Vandy is struggling out of the gate with the speed of his competitors. He is playing very robotically when he has the ball inside, which is allowing defenders to measure him up. Typically, post players get their shots blocked by helpers, guys they don't see coming. But Ezeli is getting his shots in the paint blocked 14 percent of the time, often by his own man. (Greg Monroe, who is similar in size and athleticism, gets his paint shots blocked 5 percent of the time.)
Terrence Ross, Raptors
Ross impressed me this summer with his shooting talent and overall game, but the Ross I've seen thus far has not been on point. He is not looking to be assertive on offense, making the mistake a lot of rookies make of just trying to fit in. That has resulted in Ross oftentimes being a waste of minutes. As of yet, he has not taken a single free throw.
Every year, the incoming freshman class has a major impact on the draft. This year won't be any different.
Our 2013 NBA Draft Top 100 has a whopping six freshmen projected as one-and-done lottery picks and another seven potential first-rounders. Freshmen have been the rage for NBA scouts since high school seniors were banned from entering the draft in 2007.
But since 2008, GMs have cooled a little on the freshman class. In 2009, just two college freshmen -- Tyreke Evans and DeMar DeRozan -- were drafted in the lottery. The 2010 draft had four freshmen going in the lottery: John Wall, Derrick Favors, DeMarcus Cousins andXavier Henry.
The 2011 class had a ton of elite freshmen, but four of them -- Harrison Barnes, Perry Jones, Jared Sullinger and Terrence Jones -- all decided to return for their sophomore seasons. That left just three freshmen drafted in the lottery -- Kyrie Irving, Brandon Knightand Tristan Thompson.
Last season saw a bit of a resurgence. The first three players selected in the draft were freshmen, with Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Bradley Beal going in order. A total of five freshmen went in the lottery, with Moe Harkless falling just one pick short of the lottery.
The top 12 freshmen
Nerlens Noel, C, Kentucky
Top 100 Rank: 1
Patience, everyone. Noel is often compared with Anthony Davis. Yes, they're both long and athletic and can block shots. But the comparisons really end there. Noel doesn't have the same motor nor does he have the offensive skills of Davis. So why is he ranked No. 1?
For starters, Anthony Davis isn't in this draft class. Right now, there doesn't appear to be a player like Davis who could win multiple MVP awards in his career. This is just a weaker draft. Second, scouts predict Noel could be a dominant shot-blocker in the NBA, regardless of whether his offensive skills ever come around. And the smart money says his offensive skills will improve.
Lastly, people forget that freshmen who turn into great NBA players don't always dominate every game. Derrick Rose got off to a very slow start at Memphis. Blake Griffin was very shaky in his first two high profile matchups his freshman year at Oklahoma. Davis had three points against Penn State in his third game. He scored just six points in a December contest against North Carolina. At the time, my inbox was filled with people saying "Anthony Davis is a poor man's Marcus Camby." "He's too skinny for the NBA." "He has NO offensive game," etc.
To which I say: Remember, we're talking about freshmen.
So when Noel starts the season with just four points and nine rebounds against Maryland we might just want to chill. In his next game, against Duke's Mason Plumlee, a seasoned senior, he had 16 points, 8 rebounds, 3 blocks, 2 assists and 4 steals. Not too shabby for an 18-year old kid playing in the second college game of his life.
So yes, he's not going to look like the No. 1 pick for a while ... but scouts can afford to be patient. You should be, too.
Shabazz Muhammad, F, UCLA
Top 100 Rank: 3
On Friday, the NCAA ruled that Muhammad was ineligible for the start of UCLA's season. Whether that ban continues all season is anyone's guess. Even if Muhammad doesn't play one game all season, every NBA scout I spoke with still believes he's a top-three pick. He's got a terrific motor, is a great scorer and is versatile.
In fact, if Noel doesn't improve, I wouldn't be shocked to see Muhammad go No. 1. Plenty of scouts have concerns about Cody Zeller's long-term upside in the NBA. They may feel Muhammad has more sizzle. At this point, I'm not sure it behooves Muhammad to play for UCLA. His draft stock may be better off sitting the season out.
Isaiah Austin, F/C, Baylor
Top 100 Rank: 7
Austin got off to a terrific start in his first game for Baylor, dropping 22 points on Lehigh in just 17 minutes. That's giving scouts hope that Austin won't be the sort of positionless, passive player that both Perry Jones and Quincy Miller were during their freshman seasons at Baylor. One scout I trust says that Austin has a lot of Jonathan Bender in him. If he plays with this aggressiveness all season, he too could have a shot at the No. 1 pick.
Alex Poythress, F, Kentucky
Top 100 Rank: 8
Poythress is a tweener right now, but he's such a special athlete and has so many positives that scouts are willing to overlook his flaws.
If you watched Kentucky's first two games, you saw both his potential and his weaknesses. Against Maryland, he struggled to get into any rhythm, was forcing the issue and didn't seem to really have a position or a role on the team. Against Duke, he was everywhere. He was battling on the boards, making major athletic plays in the paint and stretching the defense with his jumper. If the Poythress we saw against Duke shows up on a regular basis, he's going very, very high.
Steven Adams, C, Pittsburgh
Top 100 Rank: 9
Adams is a tough, physical big man who is still learning the nuances of the American game. The Kiwi import is earning big minutes from Jamie Dixon right away and already looks like he could step in and play defense in the NBA. His defense alone might get him drafted in the lottery. If he can show some offensive game as well, he's got the talent to be a top-10 pick.
Archie Goodwin, G, Kentucky
Top 100 Rank: 10
Calipari has been comparing Goodwin to a young Russell Westbrook. He has a ton of athletic ability, and no one in college basketball can stay in front of him. But he also seems to have inherited Westbrook's penchant for making bad basketball decisions when he's pressured. Some of the shots Goodwin has taken have been inspired dropped jaws, head shaking or both. Still, Goodwin has elite NBA athlete written all over him. If Calipari can rein him in? Again, top-10 pick.
Anthony Bennett, PF, UNLV
Top 100 Rank: 14
Bennett may be a bit of a tweener, but few freshmen have his offensive skills and the opportunity to use them. Bennett can score from anywhere on the floor and he's an elite athlete. He scored 22 points in 20 minutes in his first game for the Runnin' Rebels. If he can lead UNLV deep this year and prove he has a position, he's another player who could easily end up in the lottery.
Kyle Anderson, F, UCLA
Top 100 Rank: 18
Anderson may be the toughest player in the draft to peg. He is totally unique. He's a 6-foot-8 point guard who can handle the ball and see things developing with an eerie sixth sense. His lack of lateral quickness (his nickname is SlowMo) and his shaky jumper give teams concern, but the high basketball IQ and the ability to make everyone better are major pluses.
Ben McLemore, G/F, Kansas
Top 100 Rank: 20
McLemore is a bit of a Brandon Rush clone: long, excellent defender; good rebounder; can really shoot the rock. Often plays like he doesn't have confidence. Scouts love the talent, but he's got to show he's willing to do it night in and night out. His first two outings for the Jayhawks are inspiring hope. He has all the tools to be an excellent NBA player.
Rodney Purvis, G, North Carolina State
Top 100 Rank: 29
NC State is loaded with great veterans like C.J. Leslie, Lorenzo Brown and Richard Howellthis year, but some scouts feel the most talented player on the roster might be Purvis. Purvis is a scoring machine who is relentless at getting to the basket. I know a handful of scouts who feel that, after Archie Goodwin, he's the best 2-guard in college basketball. Some scouts are questioning his jumper and lack of elite size for his position, but many think he might be a big-time scorer at the next level.
Willie Cauley-Stein, F/C, Kentucky
Top 100 Rank: 30
Cauley-Stein didn't get nearly the hype that Nerlens Noel did in high school. He was a late bloomer who didn't really start to come into his own until his senior year. But Kentucky has been raving about him since practice started, and after the Wildcats' first two games, it's pretty clear he's going to get a lot of interest from NBA scouts. He's long, a fluid athlete and shows so much potential on the offensive end. Even though he's coming off the bench as a sixth man, I would not be shocked to see Cauley-Stein in the lottery on draft night. There's just too much raw talent there for NBA scouts to pass on him.
Marcus Smart, G, Oklahoma State
Top 100 Rank: 34
There will be a lot of focus on LeBryan Nash this year, but many scouts believe that Smart might be the better pro prospect. He's an elite athlete who can play both backcourt positions. If he can convince NBA teams he's a point guard, he's just a jump shot away from being a lottery pick.
Gary Harris, SG, Michigan State
Top 100 Rank: 35
Harris is a terrific athlete with a high basketball IQ and an excellent motor. He's tough, defends multiple positions and has shown that right out of the gate he has the green light from Tom Izzo to make things happen. His jump shot is still a work in progress, but after watching him slice and dice KU's defense on Tuesday, many scouts felt he too could end up in the lottery someday.
Best of the rest: Kaleb Tarczewski, C, Arizona; Przemek Karnowski, C, Gonzaga; Grant Jerrett, F, Arizona; Brandon Ashley, F, Arizona; Cameron Ridley, C, Texas; Glenn Robinson III, F, Michigan; Omar Calhoun, SG, UConn; Josh Scott, F/C, Colorado; DaJuan Coleman, F/C, Syracuse; Mitch McGary, F/C, Michigan; Sam Dekker, SF, Wisconsin; Danuel House, SF, Houston; Rasheed Sulaimon, SG, Duke; Yogi Ferrell, PG, Indiana; Perry Ellis, F, Kansas;Devonta Pollard, SF, Alabama; T.J.

Josh Hamilton tossed this autographed ball to one lucky fan in the right field bleachers during last night's Angels-A's game. It's kind of weird.
I mean, the proselytizing is one thing, and to be expected, but things get strange when "your hair is awesome" enters the fold. The guy was just looking for an autograph, Josh, not awkward small talk. I really want to see what that guy's hair looks like, though.

Trade that makes us an instant contender
Knicks: Howard, Hedo Turk, and Redick
Magic: Amare and Melo
Knicks Starters: Lin, Fields, Turk, Chandler, Howard
Bench: Shump, Redick, Jefferies, Novak, Walker, Davis (if or when healthy)
First of all, no one is scoring or doing anything in the paint. This reminds me of the Spurs of the late 90s with Robinson and Duncan down low. No team in the east will be able to matchup with us. We have our pick and roll guard, our spot up shooters, and a physical dominating presence down low. Most of all, some much needed depth. These are all the ingredients for a long, successful run in today's NBA. Turk will thrive in Coach D's system. Plus, we add a sniper from 3 (Redick). Remember how good Q Richardson was in Phoenix the year before we gave him all that money. That's the role Redick fills off the bench. This trade eliminates the iso bs game that melo plays. This allows the floor to really open up and the ball to be moved freely. Although, Amare will be missed this is the only way I could see the Magic doing this. Both players are under contract for a while and Orlando can still remain successful. All that needs to be done now is for someone to kidnap Dolan and try and get this deal done.

It was a happy collision of events. In the same week that reading Max's article on Wellington in the September issue of Gourmet Traveller had piqued my interest in visiting New Zealand's political and food capital, Positively Wellington Tourism contacted me to invite me along on a weekend-long blog junket to check out the food and drink scene in Wellington. Seeing as I'd never even been to New Zealand's North Island before (see a post about my trip to the South Island here), it was an opportunity I felt I couldn't refuse.
The junket was part of the publicity for PWT's current tourism campaign in Melbourne to promote Wellington as a cool dining destination - culminating in a two-weeks-only pop-up restaurant on Gertrude Street Fitzroy, run exclusively by Kiwis and using Wellington produce.
The restaurant, called WLG, is operating in the Rue de Fleurus site at 153 Gertrude Street (formerly known as Claypots and conveniently located just across the road from The Everleigh). WLG opens TONIGHT and runs every night until 27 November. The three course menu is a ridiculous bargain at only $35 per head, plus $30 per bottle of NZ wine. Other details about the restaurant, including about the five chefs who've designed the menu and will be running it, can be found here.
Ticket reservations for the restaurant were available through the Time Out website but have already been snapped up - however they'll still accept walk-ins each night, so you may get lucky. OR you might like to enter the Melbourne Gastronome WLG ticket giveaway - I've got a double pass to the restaurant to give away to a blog reader. The pass is for two people for dinner at 8pm on this Sunday, 20th November 2011 (so don't enter the competition if you can't attend on Sunday night, obvs). To enter, leave a comment on this blog post stating your favourite New Zealand import in Australia - cultural, culinary or otherwise - before NOON on Friday 18th (if I don't already know you through blogs/Twitter etc, make sure I know how to contact you in case you win). I'll announce the winner on Friday afternoon (via both Facebook and Twitter, so keep your eyes peeled), and I'll email the winner their PDF double pass.
Wednesday update: Photos of the restaurant and meals served on WLG's opening night can now be seen on Shellie's blog. I was also invited along last night, and was particularly taken with my main (slow-cooked venison in Tunisian brik pastry with veal sweetbreads - mmmmm - broadbeans, peas and pancetta), my dessert (licoricello panna cotta with vodka lime parfait and pistachio wafer) and the laid-back Kiwi charm of a waiter sporting a truly outrageous moustache.
So, a photo tour of Wellington (apologies, I'd half-drafted this post last week but I've been struck down with illness over the last four days and am currently running a fever, so this post will be light on analysis).
I went to Welly a few weekends ago, accompanied by three other Melbourne food bloggers (Ed, Penny and Shellie). During the two days I attended three of the restaurants whose chefs will be running the WLG pop-up.
Lunch on Saturday was at Logan Brown, one of Wellington's most upmarket restaurants. If the facade looks a little imposing, it's because the 1920s building used to be a bank.
Lovely high-ceilinged interior. We had a good chat before lunch to head chef Shaun Clouston (one of the WLG chefs) about the provenance of his produce.
I was particularly excited about trying the local shellfish that we can't get in Oz, like tua tua surf clams from Cloudy Bay (similar to pipis), and Tio Point Bluff oysters and Mahurangi Pacific oysters. Sensational.
Special mention also to the chestnut flour pappardelle with porcini mushrooms, macadamias and gorgonzola, and the Whangamata scallops with cauliflower cream, coppa wafer, apple and preserved lemon. Some beautiful organic biodynamic Urlar wines, too.
In between restaurants I made a beeline for some of the tourist sights: the Wellington Cable Car (see photo at the top of this post) up to the Botanic Gardens and lookout over the city, and an hour at New Zealand's national museum, Te Papa.
Such a great museum! One of the best I've been to in years, I wish I'd had more time to explore it - especially the exhibitions about the geology and flora and fauna of New Zealand, and the Mana Whenua exhibition about Maori culture (including a copy of the Treaty of Waitangi, which I studied at uni).
On the Saturday night we went to dinner at The Larder in Miramar, a suburb 15 minutes drive away that is also home to Peter Jackson's Weta studios (filming for The Hobbit movies is currently underway, but alas I didn't spy any Middle-earth inhabitants).
Chef/owner Jacob Brown takes great pride in the relationships The Larder has with its suppliers: to reinforce the point, black and white portraits of various suppliers adorn the walls of the restaurant, and Jacob (also appearing at WLG) can tell you an anecdote about each one.
Culinary highlights included my carpaccio of peppered venison fillet with spiced pear, pear jelly and beetroot; Penny's pig's head baked in brik pastry with seared chicken livers, radish and cress; and my main of pork belly with crumbed black pudding, apple calvados puree and pepper caramel. A Valrhona fondant and parfait were also excellent.
Back in town, we went for cocktails at Matterhorn, recently voted one of the 50 Best Bars in the World by Eater.
In addition to flying back some Martinborough pinot and a bottle of the suddenly-very-trendy-in-Melbourne Lighthouse Gin (hand-crafted and hand-distilled in the Wairarapa), I also bought a bottle of Smoke & Oakum's Gunpowder Rum, an outrageous, you'll-love-it-or-you'll-hate-it small batch blended rum infused with tobacco, chillies and actual muzzle-loader style black gunpowder. It's... a little intense.
Although I was in Wellington for less than 48 hours, I liked that my schedule allowed me some time to explore the town on my own. One solo expedition led me to breakfast at Sweet Mother's Kitchen.
SMK was kooky in all the right ways, decorated with lowbrow trinkets and staffed by friendly kids who kept swapping ridiculous afro wigs. The casual (yet ambitious) home cookin' menu, which included Creole, Cajun and Mexican dishes, has no equivalent in cafe-saturated Melbourne - I'd LOVE to know what my N'awlins/Texas expert (and cuisine purist) friend Burger Mary would've thought of it, had she been with me. Those beignets were damned tasty.
Just some photos of buildings in the city centre that caught my eye.
On the Sunday morning we all visited Wellington's weekly food and wine artisan City Market, where we were welcomed and shown around by one of the Market's co-founders, the personable Rachel Taulelei (owner of seafood supplier Yellow Brick Road).
Lots of produce from the City Market will be served at the WLG pop-up in Melbourne.
More local colour at the Market. I really liked that Crooked Cider Lars was selling - it was cloudy, very dry and made from proper cider apples. If only I hadn't already reached my customs alcohol limit, sigh.
Outside at the regular Harbourside Market, loads of red kumara plus bananas SO CHEAP they'd make an Australian weep.
Our last meal was at Capitol, another restaurant whose head chef/owner Tom Hutchison will also be cooking at the WLG pop-up. Photo of Ms Jeroxie taking a photo.
Shellie opted for something sweet at Capitol, French toast with shaved apple and passion fruit salad. The dish I was taken with was the seared scallops with parsnip puree and pancetta crumble.
And finally, a word about coffee. Welly is officially crazy for coffee: there are over twenty coffee roasteries in the Wellington area alone (a remarkable fact when you consider that the city's population is less than 400,000), and the third wave coffee movement has definitely made its mark.
I stopped in at the Memphis Belle Coffee House, the home of Flight Coffee (best ethically traded coffee in New Zealand, according to this year's NZ Coffee Awards). From the coffee station offering Chemex, Syphon, V60 Pour-over or Swiss Gold brewing methods, I chose the Chemex for my Brazilian Moreninha Formosa. Seriously cute little cafe.
And so ends my weekend blog junket to New Zealand! If you're in Melbourne, be sure to enter the giveaway above for a chance to check out the WLG pop-up for yourself on Sunday, otherwise you might like to try your luck with walk-ins if you're wandering down Gertrude Street during the next fortnight.

It seems like just yesterday I was melting away down in Phoenix, slurping Italian ice as I watched the A’s for spring training. Now all of a sudden summer is upon us, and who would have thought the A’s have the best record in baseball?! Life is good. Speaking of life being good, how about this coconut guava agua fresca? The other day I was experimenting in the kitchen with some guavas I had picked up from Berkeley Bowl. Add a little lime, a little coconut and wow – I immediately knew I had to share.

Is Jerry Sands the next Paul Konerko for Dodgers?
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Another way to say it is: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me!
The Los Angeles Dodgers may just be finding themselves in a “shame on you, shame on me” situation with outfielder/first baseman/find-me-a-spot Jerry Sands. How can Sands be the kind of player who can cause the Dodgers to get burned by a dose of history?
Just flip through the “Dodgers Book of Ill-Advised Transactions” and make your way to the “K’s.” When you see Paul Konerko and the pile of homers and RBIs that he has posted for the Chicago White Sox over the past 13 years, stop!
That could very well be the Jerry Sands of 2012 for Los Angeles.
Close your eyes, and let me take you back to a simpler time in 1998. Okay, on second thought, don’t close your eyes because then you won’t be able to read my column! Listen to this and see if you can tell whether it is describing Konerko’s time with the Dodgers in the late ’90s, or Sands in the here and now:
• A 220-pound slugger whose bat looks like a toothpick in his hands.
• Couldn’t seem to find a position to settle into, but was willing to move to hasten his course to the major leagues.
• Posted sick offensive numbers at single-A, but had too many strikeouts.
• Posted sick offensive numbers at double-A, and advanced up the ladder.
• Posted sick offensive numbers at triple-A, and appeared ready for the big club.
• Got several tastes of the good life with Los Angeles call-ups, but struggled offensively each time.
Konerko was a can’t-miss prospect for the Dodgers in 1998. After four minor-league seasons in the Los Angeles system, Konerko seemed destined for a spot at Chavez Ravine for years to come.
Konerko smacked 19 homers and drove in 77 runs at single-A in 1995. He followed that up in 1996 with 29 dingers and 86 RBIs at double-A. When Konerko blitzed triple-A and the Pacific Coast League with 37 homers, 127 RBIs and a .323 average in 1997, there was no question that his future was so bright, he had to wear shades.
Now that he’s been entrenched at first base for the Chicago White Sox since 1999, it seems strange to think of Konerko as a man without a position. However, his spot at first wasn’t always secure. The Dodgers moved Konerko around like a Roy Halladay curveball during his minor-league stint.
In 1995, Konerko played catcher at single-A. In 1996, he tried his hand at first base. In 1997, Konerko moved around to second base, third base and first base. The next year saw him dabble at first base, third base and in the outfield. My head is hurting trying to keep up with Konerko’s different fielding positions!
We all know the rest of the story with Konerko. The Dodgers didn’t think Konerko was “untradeable” and shipped him to the Cincinnati Reds for closer Jeff Shaw. The following year, Konerko hit 24 homers and drove in 81 for the White Sox and the Dodgers were left wondering, “What if?”
Sands seems to be taking the “Paul Konerko Path to the Big Leagues” with the Dodgers. In 2009 at rookie and single-A, Sands stroked 19 homers, drove in 58 runs and posted a .315 batting average.
In 2010, Sands improved upon those numbers at single-A and double-A with 35 homers, 93 RBIs and a .301 average. In 2011 at triple-A Albuquerque, all Sands did was hit 29 homers, drive in 88 runs and hit .278.
However, now Sands appears to be a 24-year-old without a place to play. And I’m starting to get the sickening feeling that he might end up in the major leagues wearing another team’s uniform, just like Konerko.
The Dodgers aren’t actively trying to trade Sands. He just hasn’t done anything with the chances that the team has given him to stay in Los Angeles. Last year, in what was a rebuilding effort from day one, Sands was handed the keys to the left field Los Angeles Porsche.
Unfortunately, Sands crashed his car and was demoted to triple-A for 94 games. Sands started the season in Los Angeles hitting well beneath the Mendoza Line, which led to his demotion. He did turn things around in a September call-up, and ended up hitting four homers, driving in 26 runs and batting .253. Four homers in almost 200 plate appearances, though, is nothing to write to Paul Konerko about.
So, how has Sands reacted to 2012 and another chance to grab the left-field bull by the horns and run with it? So far this spring, Sands is hitting .167 in 24 at-bats, with no homers, one RBI and seven strikeouts.
In other words, “Welcome back to Albuquerque, Mr. Sands!” Either that, or “Welcome to _______ (fill in the blank with another team’s triple-A affiliate city). I’m not predicting that Sands will be traded, but I just don’t like how this thing is playing out.
I’m not sure I can take another can’t-miss Dodger prospect wearing another team’s uniform like Konerko. I used to purposely avoid watching the White Sox on TV because I didn’t want to have to be reminded about the Dodgers’ mistake.
Memo to Ned Colletti: Let’s not make the same mistake this time around with Sands. If you do, it will read: Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on Ned.

Van Persie has played centrally at the tip of the front three for Arsenal this season but performed mainly as an attacking midfielder on the right flank for the Dutch during the 2010 World Cup qualifying campaign.
"We have discussed it extensively among the technical staff but it also is important that the players around him function well," Van Marwijk told a news conference after announcing a 23-men squad for the matches against Italy in Pescara on November 14 and Paraguay in Heerenveen four days later.
"In my opinion he is not an old fashioned centre forward."
Dirk Kuyt was the first choice as central striker during the 2010 qualifiers but at Liverpool he is used predominantly on the right wing, while Klaas-Jan Huntelaar is not a first choice for new club AC Milan and has yet to score after becoming surplus to requirements at Real Madrid in the close season.
Van Marwijk has retained Huntelaar is his squad but wants the striker to be playing regular first-team football.
"I sometimes make exception as you see right now, but towards the World Cup finals the tension will increase, he added.
"I always hope that my players are fit, in form and play at the highest possible level, but if you hardly play for six months the chance that you will be in the World Cup squad will be very small."
Midfielder Mark van Bommel returns to the squad after missing the last four matches with a broken toe, while injured defender Andre Ooijer is not available.
Goalkeepers: Maarten Stekelenburg (Ajax Amsterdam), Michel Vorm (Utrecht), Piet Velthuizen (Vitesse Arnhem)
Defenders: John Heitinga (Everton), Joris Mathijsen (SV Hamburg), Edson Braafheid (Bayern Munich), Gregory van der Wiel (Ajax Amsterdam), Giovanni van Bronckhorst (Feyenoord), Khalid Boulahrouz (VFB Stuttgart)
Midfielders: Nigel de Jong (Manchester City), Demy de Zeeuw (Ajax Amsterdam), Stijn Schaars (AZ Alkmaar), Ibrahim Afellay (PSV Eindhoven), Wesley Sneijder (Internazionale), Rafael van der Vaart (Real Madrid), Orlando Engelaar (PSV Eindhoven), Mark van Bommel (Bayern Munich)
Forwards: Dirk Kuyt (Liverpool), Robin van Persie (Arsenal), Klaas Jan Huntelaar (AC Milan), Eljero Elia (SV Hamburg), Ryan Babel (Liverpool), Arjen Robben (Bayern Munich)

My new, good blogger-pal, Dovie-Lee (originally Della Reese, a regular commenter on my site who was RocKiin It OwT ThE BoXxe) actually did an interview --- with me!!! Over at his site, Spank My Foogle Woogle, he actually got me to talk. Don't know what Spank My Foogle Woogle means? I didn't either, but once I found out, I couldn't stop saying it. Dovie-Lee is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, Della Reese fan ever!!! Patti Labelle, too, but really Della Reese. I am not joking. Dovie-Lee's site is one of pure fun. His interviews are delightful and the people he interviewed are actually interesting as well. Check him out. This brotha's got a lot to say and realizes that so do a lot of other people.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief is coming to a theater near you. Pictured? My version of Grover the Satyr - half man, half goat, descendant of Pan. You get the picture. I consider the movie version of Grover to be something I now call: "When Good Characters Go Black." In the movie, the completely cute Brandon T. Jackson plays Percy's protector who discovers he's the son of Poseidon. The books by Rick Riordan are clearly a Harry Potter knock off just involving the gods of myth. It's a world that probably would not have been possible if not for the beloved J.K. Rowling. The books are well written, fast paced and just pure fun. Since I was too busy reading Nancy Drew as a child, I feel like I'm making up for some of that by reading today's new stories which may some day become tomorrow's new classics.

If you really think about it, it’s not surprising athletes have attempted to cross over to the music world.
These are intensely successful people who’ve been told they’re God’s gift to everything since junior high. A celebrated college run and lucrative pro career only bolsters this confidence further.
So when a manager approaches them with the information that a record company wants to give them a sack of money to sing into a microphone for three hours, who’s going to tell them it’s a bad idea? Certainly not the cadre of yes-men that serve as handlers.
Of course, this is a bad idea. Ruben Studdard, American’s Idol’s “Velvet Teddy Bear,” cannot block Justin Tuck. We can’t expect Jets center Nick Mangold to nail Adele’s “Someone Like You.”
And yet, many a compact disc have been sacrificed at the altar of jock hubris. This spans across all sports, and the NFL isn’t immune. Consider the following list a cautionary tale for Victor Cruz, who’s probably scheduled to record his own salsa album sometime next week. Step away from the mic, VC.
Onto the list …
Terry Bradshaw: “I’m so Lonesome I Could Cry”
Before he was best known for getting berated by Ann Mara on national television, Terry Bradshaw was a Super Bowl hero for the Steelers. This success swung the doors open to the world of country music, and Bradshaw released three albums between 1976 and 1981. His cover of the Hank Williams classic “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry” reached No. 17 on the country charts.
This makes Bradshaw the Elvis of NFL recording artists. I hope this provides some perspective.
Deion Sanders: “Must be the Money”
Deion Sanders was the greatest cornerback on the planet when he released “Must Be The Money,” the lead single off his 1994 album “Prime Time.” The video was outstanding (as you can plainly see above), but the single failed to chart. AllMusic.com writer Dan LeRoy noted that Sanders’ “nasal rapping and inability to offer any references beyond his own rags-to-riches sports biography make this one a yawner almost from the outset.”
I’d add more, but NFL.com and NFL Network exist under the same roof.
Free Reign: One Step Away
Dolphins tackle Marc Colombo, Lions guard Leonard Davis and free agent guard Cory Procter formed this metal band in which Colombo handles vocals. The group released the album “Heavier Than Metal” last April. I can’t imagine they’re the first band to use that album title.
Anyway, Colombo cites Metallica frontman James Hetfield as a major influence, according to the good folks over at ultimate-guitar.com. In 2010, the group captured the “Most Metal Athletes” award at the Golden Gods Awards. I’d love to know who else was in the running (crossing my fingers it was Tyler Palko).
Ben Utecht: “I Pray”
Ben Utecht is a former NFL tight end who won a Super Bowl ring with the Colts in 2007. According to his official website, Utecht is a football player by trade, but a follower of Jesus by desire. This couldn’t have sit well with Peyton Manning.
Utecht released his self-titled debut album in 2009, and recently released a Christmas album. “I Pray” is off that record. What else can you really say about Ben Utecht?
Connersvine: “Lay Down”
Connervine is notable because former Colts punter Hunter Smith is one part of the two-man band. Another Christian rocker, Hunter’s music is described on Wikipedia as “acoustic-driven rock sound that communicates through worshipful melodies and passionate vocals.” Whatever you say, guys.
— Dan Hanzus

The Red Wings played approximately one period tonight and got the result you’d expect from that, a 4-2 loss to Colorado, ending their winning streak at seven games.
The first period was a solid effort by Detroit. Kept the Avs bottled up / limited their chances and controlled the puck. Johan Franzen‘s power play goal meant they even had a lead for that effort.
Then, as happens all too often with this team, they let up. Give Colorado credit, they didn’t quit (nor should they have down by only one with two periods to play).
A sloppy turnover led to the Avs’ first goal. A dumb penalty put Colorado on a power play, on which they took the lead when Ty Conklin completely lost track of the puck.
The Red Wings seemed to get back into it in the third, tying things up. Then another bad giveaway gave the Avs a shorthanded two-on-one that Niklas Kronwall completely misplayed, leading to the go-ahead goal.
With Conklin pulled in the final minute, the Wings couldn’t even control the puck, making the ENG inevitable.
I’m not afraid to throw Conklin under the bus at times. That second goal was awful, for example, ’cause it’s not the first time this season he’s allowed one when he didn’t know where the puck was. That said, I saw a lot of people on Twitter bashing him for the third goal and that’s just ridiculous.
Ignoring anything that led to the neutral zone turnover and the two-on-one, let’s just focus on the scoring play.
The goalie’s job in an odd-man rush is to take the shooter. Conklin did that, squaring to the oncoming Gabriel Landeskog.
The defenseman’s job is to make sure that the puck carrier can’t pass it off. This is because the goalie is focusing on the puck carrier so you have to turn that into a one-on-one battle.
Alternately, the defenseman can attempt to completely take away a shot from the puck-carrier, allowing the goalie to cheat towards the other player on the rush. It’s not as good of an option unless the defenseman is making a play for the puck, but at least both the defenseman and the goalie know who their man is.
In the case of Colorado’s third goal, Kronwall failed to either take away the pass or deny the shot. This means the Conklin has to square to Landeskog (Kronwall isn’t denying the shot so Landeskog is Conklin’s man), but Landeskog is able to pass the puck off to TJ Galiardi for a shot that Conklin wasn’t prepared to face.
That was a play that was just lazy to me, hence me picking on it. Kronwall was only about five feet out of position but it made all the difference in the world.

Today's post is the Altenew rose in a lovely shade of purple.
The image background images are Stampin' Up Timeless Textures and Close To My Heart Brushstrokes stamped in Altenew Frayed Leaf, Limestone and Soft Lilac. The images are Altenew Vintage Flowers stamped on Recollections White with Deep Iris, Forest Glades, Frayed Leaf, Lavender Fields, Midnight Violet, Moss and Soft Lilac ink. The flowers and leaves were cut with the coordinating die. The sentiment is Bonnidee French Wording #1 stamped in Altenew Pure Graphite. The embellishments are Crafts Rhinestones.
Okay, I think I'm getting the hang of this stamp set. I've got an interesting and subtle background, the right number of flowers, a decent placement of leaves and a nice randomness to the embellishments. This is my favourite of the these last three cards. Purple and green have always been a favourite colour combination and in this case, it just works so perfectly. I think the subtle background stamping foils the formality of the flowers in a really great way. This is just a great result!
I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Long time no see - after I baked four breads from my Equal Opportunity Baking list that I wasn't 100% satisfied with, I got a bit burned out on them. The anal Virgo in me didn't want to continue with yet another Fair Baking Bread without having tried to coax and tweak the grade C candidates to a better performance or more satisfying taste.
Slowly I revisited and rebaked (I learned to use the prefix "re" from the creators of our daily crossword puzzle - it is amazing how you can put a "re" in front of any given verb and come up with a new term never heard of before!) the soso breads, Arkatena Bread, Muesli Rolls (both fine now), Camembert Grape Bread, and then the Beer Rye.
I had picked Bill Middeke's contribution to Kim Ode's "Baking with the St. Paul Bread Club" because of the combination stout and rye. In my opinion nothing made with beer can be bad (unless, perhaps, it's made with Bud Light, aka dish wash water, or other beer abominations).
The recipe, originally posted in the "St. Louis Globe-Democrat", had called for lard or bacon fat instead of the shortening listed in Kim Ode's book.
As a German accustomed to cooking with lard, and no friend of shortening, I switched back to the original piggy fat.
For the active dry yeast I used instant, my default, and, also worked with the stretch & fold method, plus overnight cold fermentation, instead of making, and baking, the breads on the same day.
Everything worked well, only the baking time was a bit longer. The bread looked really pretty, but even with the reduced amounts of sugar and molasses it was still way too sweet for my taste!
Bill Middeke, an ardent bicyclist, surely needs sufficient carbohydrates to fuel him for his athletic rides, but my bike carries me mostly to the nearby supermarket, and I get plenty of extra carbs from chocolate and desserts.
Not only that, the best of all husbands complained about the caraway. While I like it, Richard doesn't care for the taste and always finds it overdosed.
So I had another go at the Beer Rye Bread, this time cutting sugar and molasses again by 50%, adding a little more water, to make up for the molasses reduction, and using only 1 teaspoon caraway instead of 1 tablespoon.
We were eager to try the new bread - the sweetness was just right, but with less sugar the bread was a bit bland, and could do with more salt. And my spouse, known to be a delicate little flower, found himself OD'd on caraway again....
Relentlessly adapted to the Andersons' preferences, this final version received the stamp of approval: a tasty bread, slightly sweet, with a hint of caraway, and full of the good stuff: black Ruthless Rye.
|"Ruthless" Rye Bread|
BEER RYE BREAD
(2 small breads)
1 ½ cups stout, or other dark ale (350 g)
70 g water
34 g lard (or shortening)
9 g light brown sugar
21 g molasses
12 g salt
1 tbsp. orange zest, (ca. 8 g)
1/2 tsp. caraway seeds, (or more, to taste)
3 g instant yeast
325 g rye flour
320 g all-purpose flour
rolled rye, for topping
In saucepan, heat beer and water until just starting to bubble. Add lard, sugar, molasses, salt, orange zest, and caraway seeds. Let cool to lukewarm (not more than 95 F.)
Stir yeast into beer mixture, until dissolved. Pour in mixer bowl, and add flour. Mix at low speed (or by hand) for 1 - 2 minutes, until all flour is hydrated. Let rest for 5 minutes, then knead at medium-low speed (or by hand) for 6 minutes, adjusting with more water or flour, if necessary (dough should be soft and still somewhat sticky.)
Transfer dough to lightly oiled work surface. With oiled hands, stretch and pat into square, first fold top and bottom in thirds, like a business letter, then do the same from both sides.
Gather dough into a ball, place seam side down into a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Repeat this stretch and fold 3 times, with 10 minute intervals. After last fold, cover and refrigerate overnight. (I divide the dough at this point in halves, and refrigerate it in two containers.)
Remove dough from refrigerator 2 hours before using, it should have doubled.
Preheat oven to 425ºF/220ºC, including steam pan.
Shape dough into 2 small boules or bâtards. Place on parchment lined baking sheet, seam side down, and score. Mist or brush with water, sprinkle with rolled rye, cover, and let rise until doubled, ca. 60 minutes or longer (finger poke test, an indentation should not fill up again - if this soft bread is under-proofed, it bursts open in the oven)
Bake breads at 350ºF/180ºC for 20 minutes, steaming with 1 cup boiling water. Rotate breads 180 degrees, remove steam pan, and continue baking for another 20 - 25 minutes, until deep golden brown and registers at least 195ºF/91ºC.)
Cool on wire rack.
|Whether oval or round - Beer Rye Breads are very attractive|

Ohio State-Michigan State grades: No passing games to speak of in Buckeye win
Ohio State Buckeyes 17, Michigan State Spartans 16
Here are the top takeaways for Ohio State’s 17-16 win over Michigan State.
Quarterback grade: J.T. Barrett, 69.6
Barrett struggles throwing the ball, moves the ball on the ground
It was another classic game in this the “Year of the Running Quarterback” as Barrett posted a 55.9 passing grade but made up for it with a 92.6 effort on the ground. He was clearly affected by the wind, with passes floating all over the place and one throw that was dangerously close to a disastrous turnover, but the Buckeyes relied on him heavily to make good decisions in their run/pass option game and he came through with 122 yards on 20 carries. Even on a day where he finished 10-for-22 for 86 yards, Barrett showed that he can still provide enough value in the run game to keep Ohio State in games.
Top offensive grades
C Pat Elflein, 79.3
RG Billy Price, 78.5
LT Jamarco Jones, 74.5
OT Michael Jordan, 69.8
QB J.T. Barrett, 69.6
Offensive line paves the way for strong running game
With little passing game to speak of, this game was all about the offensive line’s work in the run game. Center Pat Elflein created good movement – though he did get slapped with three penalties – while RB Billy Price rarely lost any of his run blocks. True freshman Michael Jordan shed no tears this week with one of his best run-blocking efforts of his young career. Running back Mike Weber was the beneficiary, rushing for 124 yards on 14 carries, including eight missed tackles forced, though he did have a fumble that dragged down the overall grade. 81 of his 124 yards came before contact, further proof that the offensive line had a strong game.
Top defensive grades
CB Chris Worley, 82.0
LB Raekwon McMillan, 81.4
CB Denzel Ward, 80.3
ED Sam Hubbard, 80.3
ED Nick Bosa, 79.9
Defense allows little through the air
After allowing a 64-yard touchdown on a screen pass on the second play of the game, Ohio State’s passing defense only allowed 63 yards on Michigan State’s next 20 attempts (3.2 yards/attempt). Slot corner Chris Worley had a big interception on one of his two targets while CBs Denzel Ward, Damon Webb, and Gareon Conley combined to allow three catches on 12 targets including two pass breakups and an interception. The Buckeyes’ pass rush also showed up with defensive ends Tyquan Lewis finished with four pressures, including a strip sack that nearly sealed the game, and DE Jalyn Holmes finished with four pressures of his own. After the slow start, it was a strong effort from the Ohio State defense.
Quarterback grade: Tyler O’Connor, 42.7
O’Connor struggled mightily passing the ball as he completed only 2-of-11 passes on throws beyond the line of scrimmage. He had four completions and 84 yards on passes thrown behind the line of scrimmage, but Michigan State had zero pass game to speak of if screen are eliminated. The wind was a factor, but there’s not much to say beyond that as O’Connor was inaccurate all afternoon and his two interceptions were underthrown while also doubling as bad decisions.
Top offensive grades
RB L.J. Scott, 84.7
WR Donnie Corley, 69.3
LG Brian Allen, 63.8
WR Monty Madaris, 52.1
WR R.J. Shelton, 51.2
Scott the lone bright spot on offense
RB L.J. Scott did his part with 160 yards on 19 carries and another 76 yards on his two catches. He used his speed to get to the edge of the Ohio State defense to create big plays, often outside of the flow of the running scheme. Many of his big plays came due to mishaps on defense for Ohio State rather than great run-blocking up front as few offensive linemen graded well for the Spartans. LG Brian Allen had the top grade among the front five while WR Donnie Corley caught his two targets for 23 yards on a day to forget for the Michigan State offense.
Top defensive grades
ED Dillon Alexander, 76.4
DI Raequan Williams, 74.8
CB Darian Hicks, 70.4
CB Justin Layne, 69.0
ED Demetrius Cooper, 66.7
Defense keeps game close but loses battle in the trenches
While it may seem like a strong defensive effort given the scoreboard, Michigan State was moved at the line of scrimmage and they finished with 12 missed tackles on only 55 opportunities. Dillon Alexander made a couple of nice plays in the run game while DI Raequan Williams had a QB hit, two hurries and two batted passes to lead the pass rush. Beyond that, Ohio State rushed for 259 yards on 38 carries (6.8 yards/attempt) as they generally had their way with the Spartans up front.

The Black and Gold scrimmage not only showcases the new Knights squad, but, in essence, kicks off the official season of preparation for the actual season. After Central Florida's exciting Spring Game at Bright House Networks Stadium Saturday, coach George O'Leary and some of the student-athletes commented on the game and the team's progress during the spring.
Coach George O'Leary on the Spring Game
"We had a chance to play everybody pretty much right from the first quarter on. We rolled the first, second, and third units out there. I thought some kids really took an opportunity when they had the chance to. I was pleased with the quarterback play. We did not have a lot of penalties out there. Overall, I was pleased with the scrimmage and what took place."
O'Leary on the play of quarterback Rob Calabrese
"I thought he made plays. He used his feet. I thought all three quarterbacks [Calabrese, Jeffrey Godfrey, and L.D. Crow] made plays today, and I was pleased with that."
O'Leary on the play of quarterback Jeffrey Godfrey
"He has a different style for a kid who is just in high school. He is an impressive kid. He is definitely a player. He plays a lot stronger than he looks."
O'Leary on the progression of the centers
"I think that if I had to line them up one-two-three, I would line them up Jordan Rae, then Zac Norris, then basically the other [Perry Meiklejohn], he is a high-school senior. Jordan Rae, he is a lot like a quarterback out there, Godfrey. He is very calm. He makes his calls and is a steady influence. He never panics out there, which is the sign of a good center."
O'Leary on his team's overall grade for spring
"I would say a B. I'm a tough grader. I would say a B for what we were looking for. We went into the spring looking, wanting to establish the line of scrimmage. I relate everything to the last game. I was very disappointed with that Rutgers game from an offensive standpoint. When you get hit in the mouth, you've got to fight back. I thought that we had to get that energy. I thought we did a better job this spring creating that. The other was that we wanted to get some depth at some of the positions. I thought we accomplished that."
Quarterback Rob Calabrese on the game
"I played pretty well today. I think there were some throws I could have made. Kamar [Aiken] made a play for me. I think the receivers did a good job going up and getting the ball today. They helped me out a lot."
Calabrese on being named the starter going into the summer
"It's a very big role. I have to be a leader for my teammates this summer in the weight room. It makes me excited for next year. I need to put in a lot of hard work in this summer and I'm ready."
Calabrese on what he has improved on
"Mostly in my poise and staying calm. If I make a bad play, go on to the next play and don't worry about that. Just come back and try to make a play next time."
Wide Receiver A.J. Guyton on the 2010 season
"I think we should have a very special season—a bowl game and hopefully a major bowl game, hopefully playing in the Conference USA Championship this year. We are just trying to get all the chemistry together, and be more consistent is what coach is always preaching to us. When we are more consistent on both sides of the ball we could go a long ways."

How to Use Installation Prerequisite Check
By Garth Jones
Before installing a secondary site server, it is always a good idea to confirm that the server is setup correctly before System Center Configuration Manager and SQL Express are installed on it.
In this blog post, I will be checking to see if a remote server is a suitable candidate to become a secondary server for Configuration Manager 2012 (CM12).
On your CM12 primary server, open a command prompt.
Using the CD command, change the directory to the folder in which the prereqchk.exe file exists. In this example it is D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\X64.
Execute prereqchk.exe /sec <FQDN of the server>. In the above screenshot it is prereqchk.exe /sec win2k8.gartek.tst.
Once you execute the command line, a new command prompt window opens and the GUI shows the progress of the prerequisite check. Wait for the Installation Prerequisite Check to complete.
Once the installation prerequisite check is completed, you can see all of the issues with the server and fix them up prior to installing the secondary site server or decide that this server is NOT a good candidate. In my case I don’t have to worry because this is a test server to demonstrate how prereqchk.exe works.

response:
Step-by-step: Yes
Training: Yes

The article provides a clear sequence of steps for using the Installation Prerequisite Check, detailing each action the reader must take in an ordered manner. The instructions are structured in a way that not only guides the user through the specific task but also encourages deeper reasoning by highlighting outcomes based on the execution of commands and the need for potential problem-solving if issues are identified.

Jun 29, 200712am 29/6/2007 Happy chinese birthday to wei!
Overall, i didn't have the time to waste anymore. I am neither a bookworm nor a very hardworking person. That is why i slack at home, but i will make sure i learn something today! I wanted to make MIRACLES! Believe me?
I have noticed that i didn't post a lot of pictures on blog. I have taken some more during holidays , but I am too lazy to upload these picture.
There is a lot of things i did not update you all. SuperTeen has successfully motivated this little pig who likes to day-dream that one day, a rich, young successful man will fall in love with her!! :-)) Possible? hehe..
I am working hard now. Trust me b:->
Today, i heard an astonishing news. Ishi from soul has left the world yesterday. I offer my greatest condolences to his family and friends. I think it's a car suicide case.
I wondered. Why normal people who has a future and the opportunity to live on this world, will choose to end his/her life like that ? What about those people who is ugly, handicapped or stupid? I really don't know. :-...
In conclusion, we must cherish your own life and the people around you.
Born of my wisdom tooth!!!!
29/6/2007 Friday after going through tys with Mr tee
I accompanied Samantha to the dentist in Xinmin Pri.
At first, i tried to act as if i have done the check last year. (actually, i didn't go for last year's appointment)
But i can't runaway from the appointment.
So, i did my check after Samantha.
First time in my life, the dentist said that my teeth is clean.
Another surprise for my Chinese birthday; my wisdom tooth!! yeahyeah
I told you I am intelligent already :-x
Sometimes, I will miss those smart guys i know from Superteen.
- Philbert ( sounds like phillip's bird right! :-o )
-Yen ( a quiet and reserved guy who has great intelligent looks)
I regretted not talking to yen.. he looks so poor thing, no one talks to him and that stupid Ernest kept ordering them to do things.. xD
Change of sitting arrangement. Samuel is sitting beside me now. Good or bad?? The feeling is weird, not use to it. He looks kind of reluctant to sit with me too. Haiz, that's life! :-S
next thursday, i got O level chinese oral examination! Wish me luck. I will do my best.
Listening comprehension on 16 july.
signed off :- zZzz

Happy happy 17Th beef day!!
Because of everyone here, my family, my sisters' boyfriend and my friends, i felt blessed.
I thought everyone has forgotten my birthday! But I'm pleased to see those people who i don't like, also sang a birthday song for me (although she looks reluctant). Anyway, I still wanna to thank them..i really appreciate what they did for me =D
Some people specially i wanted to thank: my mum (who is the great chef)
my sisters (who helped me on that day)
Chris ( help to get my cake and preparation)
Shamus ( for attending and presents)
Daddy (did the least but at least came back on time to eat my cake)

Gosh, I can't believe I haven't wrote anything for so long. I have been busy with doctors etc. the last couple of weeks, and then the holidays. And my son had an accident...just not enough time in the day. I keep waiting for the snow so I can get in the mood to decorate. I did manage to get alot of shopping done, of course that is one of my favorite hobbies. Thanks to everyone who has left a comment. I really appreciate you all. I love to read your blogs and I do read them every chance I get. I am really addicted to the blogs now. All I gotta do is learn some more on how to do mine. Gotta get busy, so later....

Gosh, I can't believe I am so far behind in everything. And then the beautiful weather we are having here in W.Pa. It was an unbelievable 72 here today, just really gorgeous. I did manage to get some more things done outside. Another one on the way tommorrow, but I bet it won't be long before the snow flies. I think I have spent more time with the doctors and being in the hospital thaan with my family lately. I sure am hoping for some good results soon. I am really anticipating Thanksgiving. I can't wait to start cooking, something I love to do. And then the biggie, Christmas, all kinds of good baking and decorating. I have already started planning my cookies etc. to bake, even got some shopping done. I am impressed with myself, to say the least. I am working on a couple of swaps right now and they are coming along good. I am really enjoying them. I have some pictures I have to get around to posting about some of my swaps and a couple of giveaways I won. It was just like Christmas. I guess I am still a kid a heart. I was just really thrilled with everything and just kept showing my kids and grandkids till I think they wanted to lock me in the closet. I will try and post the pics this week, if it is the last thing I do. I just really want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. Well, it is time to go off to dreamland for now....till later! Hugs!
