Review of Progeny Press' Beowulf Literature Guide

 photo 26018_10150154187290243_4120345_n_zpsd9393f12.jpg
I have used Progeny Press study guides before, but Therese never liked them much, probably because I made her do high school study guides when she was 7.  Okay, so sometimes I push a little too hard.  Just because you can read the book doesn't mean you can do the study guide! Also, the study guides I asked her to do required her to write. A lot.  We had not yet discovered Progeny Press' new interactive study guides - all you have to do is type into the PDF on the computer and then save it.  There is no handwriting at all! These study guides were made for the reluctant writer or the gifted kid whose reading ability is way beyond her ability to write for hours on end (which Therese isn't now, but was then).  I was so excited to try the interactive Beowulf Study Guide from  Progeny Press!

 photo a64736b1384e26ea12427c_m_zpsd85a8791.jpg

I read Beowulf in both high school and college, but Therese never had, so I wanted her to have the real Beowulf experience.  I wanted her to thrill to Hrothgar and Grendel without my inept interpretations getting in the way.  I was very excited to discover that one of my go-to homeschooling resources, Audible, had Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf read by one of my favorite narrators.  So Therese could have Beowulf read to her by a master and then be guided through its nuances by the experts at Progeny Press.  By the time we received the study guide, we had already listened to the epic poem together for the first time (which is Progeny Press' suggestion - a preliminary read through prior to beginning the study guide).

I could go on forever about the joys of the Heaney translation.  Heaney respects previous translations while making the poem new again.  All I will say is kudos to Progeny Press for this excellent choice.  I would have wept if they had chosen to recommend a prose translation.  If you care about things like translations, the one a person or company chooses to recommend says much about them.  Progeny Press is a company that knows its literature (says the girl with the Great Books minor).

What Does a Progeny Press Study Guide Look Like?

Progeny Press study guides are available as downloads, printed booklets, or CDs.  For Beowulf, a 62 page study guide for grades 10-12, the prices for each of the above, respectively, are $18.99, $18.99, and $21.99.

The study guide is broken into seven sections (what would ordinarily be chapters, but as this is an epic poem, they are divided by sections of lines), each of which follows the same format:
  • Vocabulary
  • Literary Techniques
  • Comprehension/recall questions
  • Analysis
  • Dig Deeper - Biblical comparisons and analysis
  • Optional Activities

The exercises are preceded by background and biographical information, situating the poem both in history and in the literary tradition. Pre-reading activities are also included, some of which we did before we even received the study guide! We listened to Beowulf in old English and listened to Hanson's The Lament for Beowulf.  Great minds think alike, Progeny Press! An answer key follows the main portion of the study guide.

Our Experience with Progeny Press

11 year-old Therese now loves Progeny Press guides.  I'm so glad that we got the chance to review this one! As I said, we listened to an audio version of Beowulf prior to receiving the study guide.  Once we got the downloadable, interactive PDF and read the background material, Therese began working her way through the study guide.  Because Beowulf is much shorter than an average novel, Therese did not go back and re-listen to each section prior to completing the guide.  Rather, she worked straight through it.  Progeny Press suggests working one page of their guides each day, but that pace is very slow for Therese.  For one thing, there was only one vocabulary word in the guide whose meaning she did not know, meaning that those sections went by very quickly.  It is expected that the average high school student can complete four guides per year, earning 1 Literature credit.  I would expect Therese to be able to complete at least twice that.  She is a very fast reader, though, and has exceptional comprehension and writing skills.

One thing that we did not do with the guide was the Dig Deeper section.  I am definitely not a secular homeschooler, but I do not incorporate Bible work into other subjects.  Our Catholicism permeates our home life and is present in every aspect of our day, but, to me, Bible studies are not relevant to a study of Anglo-Saxon epic poetry.  Instead, were I to bring in religious studies, we would talk about the Catholic saints of this time period and how Catholicism was brought to Anglo-Saxon Briton.  However, for Protestant homeschoolers and others who feel strongly about incorporating Bible studies into the majority of their homeschooling, Progeny Press study guides fit the bill brilliantly.  They are rigorous and scholarly, but still thoroughly Christian.

In Summation:

We love these study guides, and with over 100 from which to choose, it is highly likely that you will find one to suit your family's literature needs.  From elementary through high school, Progeny Press has study guides for many of the most popular works of literature on most curriculum lists.  To read about some of their most popular guides and how the Crew used them, make sure to read the other reviews.

Epic Announcement Marks One Small Step For Man And One Giant Leap For Pup-Kind!

Taiwan just made a groundbreaking decision to become the first Asian country to ban selling and eating dog and cat meat.

By now, most of us have seen the heartbreaking images of dogs locked in tiny cages that are destined to be brutally slaughtered and sold as meat.

While we still have a long way to go in the war against the cruel dog and cat meat trade, we now have some wonderful news to share. In an amazing victory for animal rights activists as well as the creatures they fight for, Taiwan’s legislature has not only explicitly banned the sale and consumption of dog and cat meat, but it has become the first Asian country to do so.

Though the consumption of dog and cat meat isn’t exactly widespread in Taiwan, it’s encouraging that the ban may influence other Asian countries to follow suit.

The legislature has also amended Taiwan’s animal protection law to double the maximum penalty for animal cruelty to two years in prison and a fine of what amounts to $65,000 USD.

Anyone caught eating or selling dog or cat meat will be fined about 250,000 Taiwan dollars ($8,000 USD) and might have their names and photos published. Drivers and motorcyclists caught pulling animals on a leash will also be fined up to 15,000 Taiwan dollars ($500 USD).

Increasing pet ownership on the island is thought to be part of the reason behind this legislative decision. The country now has some of the best protections for animals in Asia.

(via CTV News)

I really hope this encourages other countries like China and South Korea to do the same so more dogs and cats won’t have to suffer. Be sure to share this exciting news with all the animal lovers you know!

The Lord is My Shepherd

A comforting companion when you need to check into the hospital for whatever reason.

"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul.
He guides me through the right paths for His name's sake.
Although I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for you are beside me: your rod and staff comfort me.
You spread a table before me in the presence of my foes, You anoint my head with oil; my cup is overflowing.
Goodness and kindness will follow me all the days of my life, I shall dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live".

Psalm 23

The Key to My Heart

I am attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free.

In love, I feel the most alive when things are straight-forward, and are often told that I am loved.

I'd like my lover to think that I am optimistic and happy.

I would be forced to break up with someone who is ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic.

My ideal relationship is open. We must both can talk about everything... no secrets.

There is no risk of cheating for me. I mostly care about society and morality. And I seldom break a commitment.

Marriage something I've always wanted... though no one has offered yet and I haven't really thought about it.

At this moment, I think of love as something I don't need.

Buffalo Turkey Burgers

1 pound ground turkey
1 stalk of celery, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, divided
4 to 6 tablespoons blue cheese dressing or ranch dressing
4 hamburger buns

In large bowl, combine turkey, celery, garlic salt, pepper, and 1/4 cup buffalo wing sauce.

Mix well. divide the meat mixture into 4 sections.

Make 4 turkey patties.

Grill over medium high heat until cooked through.
Basting with the buffalo wing sauce while it is cooking.

You may want to grill them on a sheet of aluminum foil sprayed with non stick cooking spray if they are too soft to place straight on the grill.

Place the patties on hamburger buns.  I like to toast mine first.

Spread dressing on top of burgers.  Makes 4 servings.

I broke one on the most important steps when you make a recipe!  I found the recipe on Gingerlock's Kitchen several weeks ago and I couldn't wait to try it.  Instead of going back and rereading the recipe, I tried to make it from memory.  I always tell people to be sure and read the recipe before you, make it and I broke that rule!

I added the celery to the turkey meat.  On Jordan's blog Gingerlock's Kitchen, she puts it on top of the burger along with the dressing.  My husband is not a big celery fan and would never had but them on the burger, so by mixing it in, I tricked him into eating it.  The celery also made the burgers really juicy.  So I guess it was a good mistake to make.

Thanks Jordan for the recipe!  We loved it and will be making it again and again!

My new cookbook is available at schools, businesses, hospitals, and book fairs in cities across the United States.  Be sure to pick up a copy or two, when you see them.  They make great gifts!

Check back on Tuesday,
for my Tuesday's Tips & Tricks post!

Follow me on my Facebook page!

Visit my friends blogs!

GINGERLOCKS' KITCHEN, has become one of your favorite blogs! Stop by Jordan's blog and take a peek!

Also visit my friend Pam's blog, Pam's Midwest Kitchen Korner,  for more great recipes!  Once you read her blog, she will be your friend too!

  1. Haha! You sneaky lady! I will have to try this out with the celery on the inside next time. SO glad you liked it!

  2. I saw a version of a buffalo chicken burger this week and they had two pieces of celery (about the size in your picture) between the bun and the burger. I just couldn't picture biting through two big honking celery sticks in the middle of a burger. I like celery but keep it to the side like you did:)

Movie Review: Ano ang Kulay ng mga Nakalimutang Pangarap

Teresa has dedicated sixty years of her life to the service of a middle class family at the expense of her own happiness and fulfillment. Now that the family's matriarch has died, the children who were under Teresa's care have to decide on the fate of their aged nanny.

Ito ay kwento ng isang may edad na kasambahay na patuloy na naninilbihan sa pamilyang minahal niya na ngayun ay balak ng iwan ng mga alaga niya. Maikli lang iyong span ng kwento pero nagawang istretch because of the flashback to establish the relationship of helper to the family. So kahit na ganun yung treatment at iisipin mo na parang boring yung pelikula pero hindi ako na bore dahil sa mahusay na script at screenplay ni direk Jose Javier Reyes. Alam mo talaga ang tatak niya bilang isang scriptwriter sa dialogue pa lang na alam mong akma sa pelikula. Established yung character ng 3 magkakapatid from the current situation that they have on the process of selling all of their properties because they migrated abroad already naipakita doon kung anong klaseng pag uugali meron sila.

Screenplay is very good. Ryan Agoncillo performs naturally on his acting. Jacki Lou and Bobby Andrews was good as well. Kim Rodriguez is good as a new comer, she has a potential of making of a good actress. I was touched in the film and was teary eyed towards the ending. A heartwarming story that you may try to watch.

 My Verdict:  3.5/5

Pedro Calungsod, Batang Martir Official Teaser: Official Entry to Metro Manila Film Festival 2013

 Synopsis of the Film

"Pedro Calungsod, Batang Martir" is a historical epic adventure film about the life and martyrdom of the Filipino saint that changed the Marianas forever.

Pedro Calungsod, a young Filipino man, leaves his Visayan native roots to join the Spanish Jesuit priest Fr. Diego de San Vitores in his mission to the Marianas Islands (Guam) in 1668.

The San Diego Mission arrives in the Marianas where the young Pedro, a trained catechist and mission assistant, begins work for Fr. Diego de San Vitores in baptizing the Chamorro natives, preaching the holy gospel and spreading the good news of salvation through the Christian faith amidst paganism, doubt and disbelief. Despite the longing for his father and the threats to their lives, even at the peril of death, Pedro and Fr. Diego continued their missionary work. They roamed the dangerous islands and baptized many more natives and continued to enlighten them about Christianity.

Guam is now a devoutly Catholic state and this is the story of how the young Filipino saint, between wars and persecutions, played his part in this divine mission.

This adventure movie is for everybody. The young boy who guided his blind mentor is something to witness and learn from. Pedro Calungsod's life of devotion is relatable to all.

Starring:  Rocco Nacino, Christian Vazquez, Jestoni Alarcon, Ryan Eigenmann, Robert Correa, Victor Basa

Also Starring:  Alvin Aragon, BJ Forbes, Carlo Gonzalez, Arthur Solinap, Mico Palanca, Cholo Barretto, Geoff Taylor, Johann Santos, Isadora Valasquez, Ruby Ruiz, Mercedes Cabral

Written and Directed by: Francis A. Villacorta

Endoscopy Results

The results of my endoscopy are good but slightly frustrating. He found no stricture and no ulcers, but the opening if my stoma (where my esophogaus meets my stomach) was only 11mm, he widened it to 18mm which is about as wide as they will go. After my endoscopy I ate lunch and was able to get down a more normal portion (normal for a person six months out from gastric bypass). I've been drinking all day without a problem, but this evening the slight discomfort is back and though I was able to eat more than I have in the past month for dinner, I still could not get down as much food as I had in the past.

I'm going to give it a few days and take it easy on my pouch. If that doesn't fix it I'll be back to the doctor to figure out what the next steps are. I did get some cool pictures of my insides that I'll post when I get them scanned.

1 comment:

  1. I ha d an endoscope when i was about 8 weeks post op and they found a stricture. My surgeon widen me to 18 mm as well, and I am sure it has not shrunk back at all as I can still eat heaps more than any WLS patient I know......especially if it jst good healthy food. Hope you start to feel better. Would love to see the pics of your insides.

Baby Update 8/7/09

Welcome June from Four Green Acres. Thanks for following my blog! June has the most beautifully written blog profile!

Garden Overview
No weeds in the garden... which I have to say has been such pure delight!!! But all around is a problem and... that is what I would be dealing with in a tradition garden. The weeds are just ferocious here in Wyoming!
Baby Watermelon... but the vine has vine borer... any ideas on what to do?
Grow little cuke... grow...
Another baby watermelon on a different vine
Bush beans... fall crop with their 1st two leaves

  1. Toni, your babies are soooo cute. But, with vegetables we don't want them to stay that size!!
    Your garden looks great. If that is sand or gravel between the beds (like my MI soil), you can just use the back of an iron rake once a week to scrape them like a charm!
    Hope you're having a great weekend,

  2. Split the vine to get out the nastie. Hill it and hope it will root elsewhere along the stem.

  3. Borer on watermelon vine? That's so unusual, but it is in the cucurbit family. Ribbit is spot on, and maybe you can save it.

  4. Oh, so sweet! I have a bunch of those little cucumbers too. I'm beginning to consider gherkins!

    Thanks so much for welcoming me to the blog and saying such nice things about my profile. It is a pleasure to be here. Your blog just bursts with good growing things and great advice.

  5. June-you're welcome! Thank you for your kind words.

I *LOVE* your comments! Thanks for stopping by!

Time to spare

Finally! I know it's been a couple days since my last post. So much for all those challenges I had planned to do lol. I've had one busy week! It started two Sundays ago when I got a message about making a custom Harry Potter order. I had a blast creating it and I definitely think you'll see it eventually on the shop (can always email me for one in the meantime). Here it is finished:

How cool is it! I even want one! I haven't worked too much on anything else. I had worked on that order till near the end of the week. Then it was onto prepping for Rally Day at church. Saturday was spent baking 6 dozen cupcakes, homemade frosting and rice krispie treats. Sunday was the big day and spent seven hours all together at church. I was beat so no real mojo. I did make a few bookmarks but that was it.

Other news is the giveaway will start Thursday so get ready! That's about all I have left to report. Happy Crafting!!

Blast from the past challenge

What an easy challenge, Meljens challenge this week is to show the first card you made using their digital stamps. I think this was my first one. I had done a bunch last year at fair time. I had used the little donkey freebie. He's certainly one of my favorites to use!

Giveaway update: It will be starting next week and I've reached over 10 new fans on the Facebook page for the shop so another item has been added. Also nearing 1,000 views so if it reaches that by the time I post another will be added. Keep it up! Make sure you become a follower of both the blog and Facebook page (both links to do so on the right side of the page). Each will count towards another item being added!

Saturday, August 20, 2011

StampFairy School Challenge

Another card challenge done! This one is for Stamp Fairy's "It's back to school" challenge. I bought their Lenny one to use for it. He is too cute!!! The sentiment was one of their freebies they had.

Actually going to be using this card for my son's teacher. I always give his teacher a small gift at the start of the school year. I'm thinking coupon holder and a few other small things. Plus going to throw in a few packets of pens that with my awesome coupon skills have gotten for free :)

Well off to work on more projects! Happy Crafting!

Friday, August 19, 2011

Good to be on Facebook

So in case you haven't heard there's a Facebook page for the shop now. Even better is if you become a fan, you get the coupon code. Here is the link for the page (also on the sidebar) My Thoughts Exactly Facebook

Also if you become a fan, or a follower on here it will help add more items to the Giveaway in about a week. Currently only one fan/follower away from one being added! Though if you remember the post a few weeks ago with the sneak peek, I'm actually changing which item it will be. I'm using that item for a donation I have to do for a fair. Going to decide this weekend which item will be replacing it.

So make sure you pass along the news to your friends and family to join so the giveaway will be bigger!!

Happy Crafting!

Doodle Pantry Challenge

Did another challenge! This time it's for Doodle Pantry. It was a easy one, just had to use one of their images. I was tempted to make another one of the thinking of you cards I made a few weeks ago but decided to use the happy bird instead. Here it is:

I'm so loving making cards again! I actually did another today, but will wait till tomorrow to post it. Enjoy!

Button Challenge

I finally did my first blog challenge! And it's with one of my favorite artists, Dustin Pike. The challenge was to use one of his images and either buttons or charms. I had so much fun making the card and I plan on doing more challenges. Here's my creation:
Hope you enjoy it!!

Turn the page

 Bookmarks definitely seemed to be the main theme for my projects this weekend. I've made over twenty of them and have way more ready to be made. Some you'll find now in the shop like these:

The two directly above are made from pages of used books and the other two are made from photos that I've taken myself. The photo ones are the ones I have the most of. I have even made a few with a clear sheet layer with bible verses on them. Those will be up soon. Now for sneak peek of more that I've finished and
will soon see in the shop.

My other project I worked on were some magnets,some made from pictures from used books and the others from digital sheets that I've recently bought. These will be up later today and this week.

I hope you enjoy all my new creations. Remember if you see something you like on here but it's not on the shop, just message me and I'll post it for you. Happy Crafting!

Giveaway news and more

The giveaway has been delayed. I had hoped to start it next week but I got alot going on here with getting my son ready for school, going to be a 2nd grader this year. Where does the time go! But have no fear, it will be started shortly after. REMEMBER: The more followers and/or fans I get before it starts, the more items there will be! Currently 6 away from an item being added.

Good news is today I've posted 11 new items on the shop! It has been super rainy the past few days so I haven't been able to take pictures. Finally today we have sunshine so I was able to take alot of pictures. Here are just a few of the new items:

Lastly I've been slacking on getting stuff done. It seems my motivation dried up with the fair being over and no immediate one to work one. I have started some journals, but so far only got the bindings painted. I'll be working on them again today so hopefully by next week I'll have a few of them posted as well. Hope you enjoy all the new items, and Happy Crafting!

Sharing some cards

So I've been working on a custom order that includes some greeting cards. I'm loving creating them. I haven't worked on cards in a few months and was so excited to finally have a chance to again.

The Ghost and the Goth: Review

Title: The Ghost and the Goth
Author: Stacey Kade
Release Date: June 29th, 2010
Published By: Hyperion Book CH
Goodreads Rating: 3.91 stars

Synopsis: After a close encounter with the front end of a school bus, Alona Dare goes from Homecoming Queen to Queen of the Dead. Now she’s stuck here in spirit form with no sign of the big, bright light coming to take her away. To make matters worse, the only person who might be able to help her is Will Killian, a total loser/outcast type who hates the social elite. He alone can see and hear her, but he wants nothing to do with the former mean girl of Groundsboro High.

Can they get over their mutual distrust—and this weird attraction between them—to work together before Alona vanishes for good and Will is locked up for seeing things that don’t exist?

Review: I really didn't expect to like this book very much, because a lot of reviews I read called it fluffy, shallow, boring, etc. And while this wasn't exactly as deep as the ocean, I enjoyed this a whole lot more than I thought I would and it was a cute read with a few deeper messages.

The first thing that jumped out at me when I read this was how funny it was. Although I didn't initially like Alona all too much, she definitely had a humorous voice, and that made this easy to read. She acts like the stereotypical shallow, vain cheerleader despite her cracking wit, but as you continue through the book, you find that there's a lot more to her than meets the eye. She doesn't have the perfect life because of family issues, and it's great to watch her develop into a nicer person. I like that she realistically didn't suddenly become the sweetest girl in the world, but she did improve at a natural, believable rate.

Will, the other point of view, was fun to read as well because he had his fair share of sarcastic remarks to make. Unlike Alona, he's an outsider at school and most people judge him to be a goth, even though he isn't. He has the gift of seeing ghosts, but that means everyone thinks he's crazy and so he has to see a shrink, who isn't exactly the most selfless, kindest guy in the universe. I also must say that the author did a great job of writing a male POV - he sounded like an actual guy instead of a girl stuck in a dude's body.

This book isn't serious and it has plenty of funny situations that will have you smiling, but it does touch on deeper subjects like alcohol and suicide. Never does it feel preachy or like the author is trying to cram something meaningful in, so it all balanced out. The only thing that bothered me was that while I understand this is meant to be a light, enjoyable read, some of the characters were portrayed as one-dimensional "evil" people, like Will's shrink or the principal.

Still, this was cute and fun enough to make up for that, so I didn't really mind that much. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't want to read anything too depressing (like using this as a break between dark, serious books) and just wants something light and enjoyable. A warning, though - it's hard to unglue your fingers from this one!

Grade: B

Looks Like Xbox Live Is Down For Some People

Kotaku - For the second time in less than a month, Microsoft's online service for the Xbox 360 appears to be experiencing problems affecting a broad swath of users.

The story is too old to be commented.
joeyisback1996d ago Show
hennessey861996d ago

Problems, it's saying its my nat type but I no it isn't

ChunkyLover531996d ago

I write this comment from IE on my Xbox dashboard!

aviator1891996d ago (Edited 1996d ago )

I'm currently on Live as well. No problems from my end in Texas. And the usual number of my friends are online as well.

Edit: It may have been down prior to the approval of this submission, but the xbox live status is green-lit apart from the crackle app so it should be fully working now for whoever had any problems. -

AngelicIceDiamond1996d ago

I signed in just fine to.

Nice weather we're having in TX I must say.

Locksus1996d ago (Edited 1996d ago )

Well, I'm having no problems but really, Microsoft? Is this what people pay 50 euros a month for? The least I expect is a stable connection.

Sorry, I meant to say 50 euros a year.

Blankman851996d ago

Tell me one paid service that never experiences any hitches whatsoever.
I'll wait.
I was under the impression that the media didn't report xbox live downtimes. Well at least thats what you hear on n4g everytime PSN is down, that the media is biased and makes a big deal bout every PSN outage only.

Locksus1996d ago

"Tell me one paid service that never experiences any hitches whatsoever." Was not my point. I still expect a good stability of the service if I'm paying for one.

Anyways, not a big deal for me as this doesn't affect me but thought I'd just share what I think about it.

turnerdc1996d ago (Edited 1996d ago )

Yeah, because we live in a perfect world where nothing ever goes wrong with servers, electricity, software, and employees. And to think, all those cell phone carriers that experience service outages occasionally (all of them) are charging people 60 - 100+ dollars a month.

aviator1891996d ago (Edited 1996d ago )

Dude, nothing comes without some hitches. Things go wrong due to complex tech in a potentially unstable environment where numerous external factors are in play. If we lived in world where everything worked perfectly and experienced no technical glitches or set-backs, oh my what a world that would be.

This Live outage lasted for a mere 3-10 minutes according to some people over on the forums and kotaku posts. Are you telling me that waiting such a short amount of time is so grueling?

Getowned1996d ago

well, you get what you pay for.. lol jk... no, seriously I know how hard it sucks to come home from a hard day of work/school and be confronted with a downed network.. at these times I normally quote Darth vader "NOOoooOOooooOOOOOOOOoooo oo"

and than I sit in a corner rocking back and forth like a crack addit going through withdrawals.

Wow a lot of Kotaku articles being approved on n4G at the moment.
Why the change of heart for this website?

When have Kotaku articles not been approved on n4g?

Ben_Grimm1996d ago

A lot of posters on here were calling for a ban of Kotaku for some reason.

But so far we have had at least three submitted today.

Andalusía - Seville to Malaga

After years of planning and 3 previous attempts, I finally made it back to Andalusia! My first trip to the region was a quick stop in Seville with Nadia in 2010. We were on our way from Madrid to The Canary Islands and I have been dreaming of returning ever since. While Nadia was busy with other obligations I decided it was time to go for a fairy tale road trip through one of Europe's most famed regions for history, culture, architecture and landscapes. Renowned for its medieval history Andalusia is bursting with sights, sounds and flavours of one of Spain's most influential periods, The Reconquista.

~ La Riconquista ~

Mudéjar Tiles - Ronda

This period of Spanish history, called The Reconquest in English, starts at the beginning of the 8th Century and ended in 1492 with the fall of Granada to Christian forces under Ferdinand and Isabella. After a Muslim Army crossed the straights of Gibraltar into Europe in 711 AD they quickly took control of modern day Spain and Portugal as well as parts of Southwestern France. To most people the Reconquest begins when the Muslim army suffered their first defeat at The Battle of Covadonga in the modern day region of Asturias and marked a turning point in the Muslim advance into Western Europe. Although it's widely thought that the Reconquista was a battle between Islam and Christianity, most scholars believe that this was an ideology that didn't come into play until some time in the 10th century. Throughout most of the period of Muslim rule, kingdoms were at war with each other for numerous reasons other than religion. It was not unusual for Christians to join forces with Muslims against other Christians and vice versa. Spain's most famous knight, El Cid Campeador fought for both Muslim and Christian kings. This period was also a time of relative peace between religions. While most of Europe was entrenched in the dark ages the Iberian peninsula was enjoying a time of prosperity as the Muslims were advancing quickly in fields such as science, literature, medicine, and more. It was a time of great prosperity as well as great upheaval and it left the Iberian peninsula with a unique blend of Islamic and Christian culture that is still very clear today.

~ The Idea ~

Plaza de Toros - Seville

I have always wanted to do a "Best of Andalusia" trip but like always time is just too short. I had a choice of taking the time to indulge in the details or hit the road hard. In the end it turned out to be a balance but I wanted to lean slightly to the slow side so I could take the time to compose my shots. This of course meant I would miss a number of the most important sights, like Granada and Córdoba. Without those two important cities "The Best of" would have to wait but there will be a next time. The trip was also based  on where the cheapest flights were so it began in Seville. I have been to Seville before and as much as I love it time was short. I picked up my car at the airport and headed to Cadiz.

~ Cadiz ~

The Cathedral of Cadiz - Cadiz

Cadiz is a major port about an hour drive directly south of Seville. The modern cranes offloading cargo are visible from most points around the area but once I entered the historic center things turned quickly. The old beautiful architecture and traditional ambiance took over and I was in love. The cathedral is one of the more impressive cathedrals in a region with some of the best in Europe. There are also nice beaches for those who like to take a dip between time traveling.

~ Los Pueblos Blancos ~

Wall of Houses - Casares

After Cadiz I headed to the city that first sparked my interest in doing an Andalusian road trip, Arcos de la Frontera. Arcos was the first of my two main objectives and is one of the highlights of Spain's famous White Villages, The Pueblos Blancos. After seeing a video on Youtube I was mesmerised and discovered there were tons of these little villages all across the area. The Pueblos Blancos help make Andalusia one of the best regions in Europe for road trips and I was concentrating my time on the southernmost area between the Atlantic port of Cadiz and the Mediterranean port of Malaga.

Narrow Alley - Arcos de la Frontera

~ Arcos de la Frontera ~

Arcos Reflection

Arcos is perched high on a cliff offering impressive views and an ideal place from which the original inhabitants could defend them selves. The narrow streets and authentic architecture provided a spectacular atmosphere to get swept away in an Andalusian adventure.

Basílica de Santa María de la Asunción

Cascade of Houses

Blue Hour

Narrow Alley

City Lights

~ Grazalema & Zahara ~

Zahara de la Sierra

My last morning in Arcos I woke up to do some sunrise shots and then it was time to get out into the country on my way to Ronda. I left the city early that day also to leave time for lots of stops and detours. There were 2 main sights of the day besides the spectacular mountains and beautiful nature. Grazalema, a beautiful little village high in the mountains that has largely been spared from any modern developments and Zahara de la Sierra, a village perched way up top of a large hill dominating the lake and valley below.

~ Arriving in Ronda ~

Puente Nuevo

I arrived in Ronda just in time to take a walk to the Puente Nuevo for sunset. On a trip that had so far proven to meet or exceed my high expectations, the New Bridge and the canyon it spans were the unexpected surprise of the trip. It has looked impressive to me since the first picture I ever saw but to see it in reality clearly illustrates the limitations of photography and any digital media experience. It was truly a sight to see and despite spending days there photographing it from all angles, at all times of day and with an arsenal of lenses, the images just don't do it justice.

~ The Puente Nuevo ~

Dark Clouds

Ronda is a wonderful "medieval city," but like all historic places around the world, updates are frequent. The biggest example in Ronda is the main attraction, The Puente Nuevo or New Bridge. It’s a spectacularly beautiful sight and is still historic but was built between 1750 and 1800. It’s fun to imagine a structure like this being built 800 years earlier and the impression it might have made on someone seeing it for the first time.  It’s still an impressive sight today and well worth spending a day or two viewing it from all sides.

Morning Light

~ The City of Ronda ~

Medieval Wall

The city it's self is also impressive with a variety of attractions equally as interesting as the bridge. From the typical stone streets to the old medieval wall to the cathedral there is enough to keep you entertained and filled with intrigue for weeks.

Cathedral Ceiling

White Buildings

Small Fountain

The Old Bridge

Iron Cross

Deep Canyon

~ Casares ~

Dangerous Cliff

From Ronda it was time to go south to a cliffside town that looked impressive but seems to be off the tourist rout as there wasn't a lot of hype or great images on the Internet. Casares is really a "cliffside town.” It clings precariously to the side of a rocky mountain and it was as scary as it was romantic. Not just from far either, the little stone streets and quintessential centre were rustic but well-kept and preserved the ambiance one would hope and expect from a little town in the mountains of Southern Spain.

Wall of Houses

Green Canyon Below

~ Malaga ~

Blue Hour

The final stop on the trip was Malaga. Malaga is a relatively large city and is the main airport for most people coming in or out of the Costa del Sol. The city looks impressive and it was clear from where I was staying that there is a lot to see and do. I only gave myself one day to be there so there is much to see when I return. The cathedral looks beautiful and as well as the castle that will be high on my list of things to see in the future.

~ Till Next Time ~

Hotel Convento - Cadiz

Next time I’m in the region will focus on Granada and Cordoba but there are a few other little sights like Antequera, Vejer, Setenil, Carmona and more that I would try to see as well. It was an amazing trip that was everything I was expecting and more. Muchas Gracias Andalucia! Me Encanta España!

Blue Hour - Malaga

At North American Embroidery, all we need to get started on your order is an idea. We have more than 20 years of experience translating logos into branded logowear, and enjoy working with our clients to bring their ideas to fruition.

For example, many clients approach us with a rough sketch on a cocktail napkin, or they simply explain over the phone what they have in mind.

All of this happens on-site in our production facility, located in Reno, Nevada.
  • Once your order is safely and securely packaged for shipping (or pick-up, if you happen to live in the greater Reno/Tahoe area), your order is checked in by our UPS partners and shipped.
  • Most orders ship approximately two weeks from the date of your order.
  • Rush service is always available, at published rates.
  • Because we ship with UPS, computerized tracking numbers are available on all orders.

Elections in India

I have been extremely happy with the Indian election results, not because I think Congress isn't corrupt, nor is it because i like signorina Sonia pulling strings from inside her mansion and thus paving way to another generation of Gandhis. And it certainly has nothing to do with our prime minister who giggles like a school girl - i was embarrassed to hear that he asked for an autograph from Obama for his niece when they met up in Washington.

My rejoice has only to do with the fact that the B.J.P and its cohorts have been shown the door. After 60 years of independence, it looks like we are finally approaching a level of maturity and stability in the electorate. The sinister plans that got BJP its national face for the first time in 90s are not working anymore. The political left's unrelenting in fighting and the age old theatrics of cold war politics will not fly anymore. The progress and prosperity come with maturity; no matter what ideological base you belong to, elections are about compromises and taking the middle road at times even when that is not the right thing to do. In that sense, the far right and the far left have to emerge with a new plan. May be we will see a two party system emerging in India too; while I am dismayed by it in the U.S, it gives an unparallel stability that is much needed for economic prosperity. I believe, the way for the Left in India is to emerge as a political power house that distances itself from the failed ideologies of communism, but focuss on the development that is sustainable and in line with the environment. As for the Right, I'd much prefer that they just disappear from the political arena and move back to the temple grounds.

The most interesting job in government

It has got to be the job of coming up with cringe-worthy names for higher ed initiatives.

So far, I could cite as an example the category of Institutions of National Importance Says something about the importance (national or otherwise) of other higher ed institutions, doesn't it?

Now, we have a far more cringe-worthy example. It's a UGC initiative called "Universities with Potential For Excellence. If you "win" this "status", would you want to advertise it on your website?

What next -- universities with potential for sub-par performance?

  1. Ankur Kulkarni said...

    The others are universities with no potential for excellence?

Thanks Marilyn,

I have this disease and there is not cure or treatment.  It is a degenerative disease that is killing people and I have dedicated the rest of my life toward raising money for research for ATAXIA.  So I want to build some long term relationships with cyclists, runners, and walkers in the area to raise money.  So I would appreciate anything you and your group could do to promote this event.  I was out to different locations where cyclists are and talked to many.  They said this was a great place to post.  I met so many WONDERFUL cyclist in a short time and I am excited to hopefully build this relationhips for years to come.  Maybe host it together, as a person with the disease, I need healthy people to help me...this year has been difficult so I hope I can find some more GREAT people to assist me.  Look forward to meeting you and your group. Thanks

Napoleonic Bavarian artillery

Franznap has spotted a niche. By producing artillery riders with greatcoats/overcoats they have given war gamers the flexibility to produce some interesting conversions, even if the covered up uniform might be a bit dull. It also helps to alleviate the problem of getting these uniforms right…quite a bit of conflicting information.

The heads were from Bavarian infantry (SHQ) and not from Newline Designs as they would have been too small.  I was keen not to cut off the collar of the Franznap French artillery rider bodies. Look ok to me. The horses are from Art Miniaturen (static Prussian) and the French caisson from Franznap. Looks like I will need to order the Art Miniaturen Prussian caisson to accompany this Bavarian set. I may also have to trim down the boots as they probably ought to be wearing campaign trousers. (the boots are barely noticeable under the coat) I also had to trim off the bum roll from the horse or else the rider would not fit properly onto the horse.

I have no idea at this stage which limber to choose but reading various forums it would probably be either the Austrian or Prussian limber (probably the latter) Bearing in mind so much equipment was captured I think the colour of the limber and caisson is perhaps more important than the actual type.

The Prussian caissons are also nearly finished. Just need to do the traces and base them properly. One row of these horses have not yet been stuck down….or else I would have problems doing the inside track of the traces. Tedious job but needs must. I will add some hay to the rear of some of the caissons.

Hanau 1813 Battle map

Starting positions for both sides will roughly reflect the actual battle with a few modifications: The game will be fought out on a 17 foot x 9 foot table. The bottom table including Hanau can be detached from the remaining set up, to allow easy access.

French forces will be concentrated in the woods and will comprise two brigades of Old Guard infantry with plenty of Guard Chasseur skirmishers out front. One Young Guard brigade, one French line brigade and one French conscript brigade will push through the woods with some cavalry support on both flanks. The majority of French cavalry will appear later on the French right flank. This will include the Guard cavalry. The majority of the artillery will also be coming down the north/south track/road through the forest.

From a previous game. French cavalry advance.
The Allies will have one Bavarian Division of two brigades on the left flank. Each brigade will have two jaeger battalions plus skirmishers so should be able to delay the French advance, once they realise what has hit them. One Austrian Division will be on the right flank but will not be permitted to move left across the Kinzig stream until either French infantry have appeared from the southern most part of the Lamboy wood or have received an ADC from Hanau (C-in-C) to do so.

In reserve the Austrians will have a further division comprising two brigades of infantry, together with two heavy cavalry brigades, both with horse artillery.

Foot artillery will be spaced evenly across the battlefield. The reserve division in Hanau will have two 12lbs heavy batteries complete with limbers and caissons.

Unknown to the French there will be a Cossack brigade of cavalry roaming around somewhere.

That's the idea….could easily change!

Hungarians and Austrians in a previous game.

Hanau 1813

Pleased to announce that the forth coming 20mm Napoleonic game to be held in the barn on June 4th  will be Hanau, fought in October 1813.

I'm a little unsure wether the actual town of Hanau will be present, but it is likely that buildings representing the outskirts, will be there. Will need plenty of trees for this game as it would be good to kick off the game with the clearing of the woods by the Old Guard skirmishers/chasseurs. May need to even up the odds in favour of the Allies slightly.

French forces will roughly resemble those at the battle and will include Old Guard, Young Guard, conscripts, light infantry, Old Guard cavalry plus foot and horse artillery. I just hope to have the caissons completed on time. French forces will number approx 1,700-1,800.

Allied forces will include Bavarian infantry (only 300) so will have to use more Austrians. I hope to finish the Hagen Bavarian cheveuxleger in time to go with the Bavarian lancers (converted plastic figures, but don't look out of place).

The Austrians will be the Art Miniaturen figures. (600) plus 200 Grenzer figures from an unknown manufacturer, where the poses are all the same. Austrian cavalry will feature Hussars and Uhlans (Franznap) as well as Cuirassiers, Dragoons, and Cheveuxleger all from Art Miniaturen. Austrian guns will be from Art M and will be complete with limbers and caissons.
A brigade of Cossacks (3 regts of 16 Art M figures in each regt) plus a horse battery will also feature. So the Allies will have approx 1,300-1,400

caissons still to come.

Toddler Bean Bags by 517 Creations

Boy I have I got a treat for y'all today! When MJ from 517 Creations asked to feature my Pottery Barn Project Table Knockoff a couple of months ago, I had no idea we'd become fast bloggy buds! MJ was so nice to help me with some Blogger brain farts I had, and we've been emailing and commenting back and forth ever since. Don't you just love the WWW?! I told her that if we lived in the same city, we'd for sure be best buds. But, on to the treat for today! MJ is here to share her toddler bean bags tutorial. I think they are the cutest and can't wait to make some for our little tornado sweetie! Take it away MJ!
Happy November!  I'm so excited to be guest posting here at Nashville Pug, my bloggy buddy Beth's blog - say that 3 times fast! :)
My name is MJ and I can usually be found blogging over at 517 Creations. I  hope you'll grab a cup of coffee, pop on over, and read a few of my posts...after you're done reading this one, of course!
On to the tutorial...
I love these “Toss and Learn: Colors” bean bags that I created a few months ago.  They are the perfect present for any toddler in your life.  Bean bags help with gross motor skills and sensory integration, and these help with color recognition…says the former teacher in me.  :) We all love bean bags, right?
Of course, we are talking about bean bags here, so they’re pretty simple to make.
Here’s what you’ll need:
8 different fabrics (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black).
You could add more or less depending on how many colors you want.
      Coordinating or contrasting thread
Printable fabric – this adds an extra little bit, but I think it makes these bean bags what they are!  This can be found at most fabric stores.  I bought mine at Hobby Lobby with the 40% coupon!
Beans – this takes more beans that you’d think! (A funnel makes this job much easier!).  I used pinto beans as they are sold in large bags at Wal-mart.

Step One:
Following the directions on your printable fabric, print the names of the colors on a single page.  If you’re interested in a .pdf of this, e-mail me!  The printable fabric that I used had to dry for a few minutes, so I recommend doing this step first.  Cut your color names apart – be sure to size them so they’ll fit on your bean bags.
Step Two
Cut your fabric into 6-inch squares.  If you have a cutting mat and rotary cutter, this step goes by quickly!
Step Three:
Lay out 1 side of each “bag”.  Pin the color name to one side of each “bag”.  Sew your color names on! You could use a fusible webbing to help secure it.  The printable fabric that I bought already had the fusible webbing on the back, so it made it a little easier. Be sure to back-stitch to secure it!
Step Four
After each color name has been sewed on, match up both sides of your bags and pin them together.  Be sure that the RIGHT SIDES of the fabric are together, and sew with a ¼ seam allowance.  Be sure to leave a 2-3 inch opening along one side of each bean bag – this is where we’ll put our beans in.

Step Five:
Clip the corners, turn the bean bags right-side out (be sure to poke the corners out), and iron flat.
Step Six:
Fill the bags using whatever type of beans you have on hand.  One cup seems to be a good amount to fill this size bag.
It helps if you have a trusty assistant!
Step Seven:
After you have filled the bags, pin the opening shut.  Then either hand-sew or machine-stitch the opening closed.  I like to machine-stitch it, and then top-stitch around the entire bag for added strength…we do have a 2-year old boy in the house!  If you top-stitch around your bags, you’ll have to move the beans out of your way as you sew.  This takes a little practice to move them to one side or the other, but you’ll get the hang of it!
Step Eight:
You're done!  Enjoy your Toss and Learn: Colors bean bags!
Step Nine:
Make your cute little toddler’s day by “letting” him practice his colors while playing with the bean bags!
You can take this concept of "Toss and Learn" and use it to teach all kinds of skills...letters, shapes, numbers, etc.  Start a little bean bag-making factory in your sewing room this weekend!
Thanks so much MJ! Aren't the bean bags so neat?! They are definitely on my list of things to make for E very soon. Be sure to also check out MJ's series "31 days of warming up to the Holidays" that she just wrapped up on her blog. The link is below. She has lots of great printables and Christmas ideas!

March Small Goals

I'm just gonna ignore the fact that I haven't done one of these posts since November.

Even though we're already almost 2 weeks into the month, I sill wanted to take a few and address some things I'm hoping to accomplish this month. Sometimes it helps writing them all down to keep myself accountable ;)

1. Give bridesmaids their color swatches. So I haven't talked about wedding stuff in forever - but I finally have a wedding date! Yay! I also asked all my bridesmaids, and they said yes. Another yay! I picked out some color swatches for their dresses, but I keep forgetting to give them out - boo! And that is about all of the wedding related things I have done so far hahah.

2. Work out 4 times a week. So recently my mom gifted me a gym membership until my wedding! Super yay! We already decided to go 3 days a week, but now that we're getting into that habit I also want to incorporate a 4th workout day into my week, but I would probably do that one at home. So I'd probably put on an exercise video, or lift my weight thingies or something. If you'd like to learn more about my trials and tribulations of a new gym-goer, join us on Powerpuff Bloggers for all the whining you can handle!

3. Make crock-pot freezer meals. My mom helped me prep the meals, we used some recipes she likes and portioned them out into freezer baggies. Tomorrow I'm going to try one out! My goal was to still be able to eat home cooked meals even on the days that I'm at work all day and don't feel like cooking when I come home (which is most days tbh). So in the morning I'll dump one of the baggies in my crock-pot and when I come home - ta-dah! Food is ready. Such a new and novel concept, I know.

4. Schedule an eye appointment. I've been seriously putting this one off. The eye appointment itself isn't terrible...but after eye appointments you have to deal with (and spend too much money) on getting new frames or lenses (or both) which I don't want to do. Getting new frames is always fun, but this time I'm going to look into just getting the lenses updated in my current pair. I like my current frames more than any other pair I've had, and they're still in great condition, so why change them?

What are your goals this month?

Should I use the Original Moxie Shape Shifter Reforming Cream for a Wash and Go or Braid Out

Earlier I attempted to use Original Moxie Shape Shifter for a Wash and Go. I applied the product to dripping wet hair and then shingled the product through my hair. So I was thinking it was going to really define by curls because of the flax seed extract. Plus it can be used as a curl definer. However, it only defined my hair a little and it was more defined in other spots.
So I decided to use the product for a braid out. I will post about the results later.
The product has an interesting smell to it. I just can't pin point what. It kinda smells like elmer's glue and herbs.
The ingredients include Distilled Water; Flax Seed Extract; Jojoba Esters; Cupuaçu Butter; Jasmine Wax; Tuberose Wax; Behentrimonium methosulfate (and) Cetearyl alcohol; Organic Aloe Vera; Fractionated Coconut Oil; Castor Oil Triglyceride; Acacia Gum; Sorbitol; Polyquaternium-10; Phenoxyethanol (and) Caprylyl Glycol (Paraben & Formeldahyde-Free Preservative); Essential Oils of Clary Sage, Jasmine, Sandalwood (3%
Dilution), Vanilla (3% Dilution), & Ylang Ylang.

   About Nawal Al Kuwaitiya

Full Name: Nawal Thaher Al-Zaid
Assumed Name: Nawal Kuwaitia
Birth: November 18th 1966
Horoscope: Scorpio
Place: Kuwait
Nationality: Kuwaite
Education: Music Institute - kuwait
Hobbies: swimming , music , reading
Work: Singer
Website: www.nawaal.com

She loved art at an early age of her childhood; she was drawn by every beautiful voice and every beautiful song, of the singers dearest to her heart and the lyrics of those songs she chants is Oum Koulthoum, the Easts Planet, wherein she is used to singing in her own artistic style

She studied at the Music Institute in Kuwait from which she benefited a lot. One of which is having the role of Solfage which served her in her singing career, and through the institute she began getting in contact with the artist arena and got acquainted with a number of Kuwaiti composers who were convinced by her talent, one of which is the late composer Rashid Al-Khadr who helped her at the beginning of her artistic journey and presented her with may compositions

Her first album was out at the end of 1983 and it is renowned the the singer Nawal does not place a certain name on her albums and simply goes by the expression Nawal 98 or Nawal 99 and so forth. She was once asked about the reason and she responded, Because I take pride in all the songs of my album and therefore I dont refer one to the other, and I leave the album untitled so that I do not impose a certain song on the dear listener but I leave the choice open to them. And up till now, 14 albums of her has been issued, and she has filmed a collection of her songs as a video clip, whereby she was one of the first artists that dealt with this new style of the Arabic song. Her filmed songs are: Ana Min Shouktak (I am the one who excited you), Dourobi (My Paths), Sineen wa Ayam (Years and Days), Arafat Kadri (I Knew My Fate), Marra Aateek (Once I Give you), Lawla AL Mahabba (Had it not been for affection) Tadri (You Know), Ana walla Ant (Is it me or you), La Rihit Anni (If You Go Away), Ya Msabbir Il Wuoud (You who hold promises) and other songs

Some of her most prominent songs which she presented during her artistic journey and which the public knew her are the songs: Youh Ya Youh, Four Years, Ana Min Shouktak, My Knight in Shining Armor, I Suffer, You Know, Lawla AL Mahabba, Arafat Kadri, Marra Aateek and a duet with the artist Abdullah Rashad which met with a colossal success of the song Kan Widdi Niltiki. Her latest album which she cast forward few months ago has accomplished a lot of success for her in the Arabic singing arena especially the songs Ya Msabbir Il Wuoud, Houbok Asbah She Adi (Your Love has Become a Matter of the Ordinary), Anna Il Masoul (I am the One Responsible), Ya Sayyidhoum Weenak (Where are you, their lord) and others

It is known about her that she is frugal in talking to the press and media generally, and she is also distant from the social and artistic occasions

She did not pursue her university studies due to her occupation with art

An instance she wont forget: When she sang on stage for the first time in her life at the age of 17 and that was at a concert thrown in the State of Bahrain in 1984, whereby she was in a state of anxiety because it was her first experience in facing the public, but she mounted the stage and presented a collection of songs with all confidence and very naturally received a standing ovation.

During that same year, she sang at a concert in the British capital, London. Nawal also ensures that she will never forget these concerts and the big success that she reaped from them despite her young age and little experience at that time. She also loves traveling to countries that are distinct for calmness and exquisite nature, and she always prefers traveling with a group and does not like to travel on her own

She personally ensures that she is a romantic person by nature and very good-humored and she further likes to stay at home but is not a recluse, she likes people and being social with them, even if she had to be with people who she does not know, she adapts quickly with them

Despite the fact that her artistic journey has exceeded 26 years, she has not received any awards, and on that she responds, As an artist, I have not set the fruits of my labor any reward for one of my songs, because what matters to me most is to give good work. She always says that What suffices me is the love of my public for my art and that is what I take pride in. As for the awards through contests and festivals, I see in them some flattery and personal connections, what suffices me is what I hear from some responsible officials and competent people of expressions, appreciation and admiration after I present any new work

Nawal is deemed as the pioneer singer in the Gulf region, whereby when she appeared in the artistic arena, there werent that many singers from the gulf at the time, for Nawals beginning was in synchrony with that of the singers: Rabab and Itab only (because the singing arena at that time was confined to them due to the limited number of female singers in the Arab GulfHowever, she retired from art for a period of time for private reasons which she does not declare, but she powerfully returned to the artistic arena with a duet with the artist Abdulla Rashad and Nawal proved her artistic presence from her beginning through her distinct work and as an artist she has her own style of music and artistic curriculum which she has been following from the start

The artist Nawal has participated vocally only in Al-Janadiriyah Festival which was thrown in 98 and that was the first time that the singer participates in that festival, and because the opera that was performed in that festival was at the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia under the title (Opera of the Unification Knight) and the lyrics and composition of the opera required a distinct female voice, Nawal was selected for being the distinct voice from the Gulf

How about Ramon Sessions in Atlanta? Interesting, very interesting.

Lakers owner Jerry Buss is confident the Lakers will return to the finals. Not sure what else anyone expected him to say.

Celtics fans, stop wishing for the return of Rasheed Wallace. Not happening.

Earl Clark is making a good impression.

Caron Butler thinks Dallas will keep him through the trade deadline.

NBA players reflect on the best ballers they knew that didn’t make it.

Carmelo Anthony’s diet and his shooting numbers.

Baron Davis says his knee feels “terrible.”

Byron Scott said he knows what the problem is in Cleveland and there will be no more slacking on defense. Well, in worked for one night.

LaMarcus Aldridge drops career-high 45 points, Spurs beat Jazz in OT

Leave a comment

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — LaMarcus Aldridge had a career-high 45 points, helping San Antonio overcome Donovan Mitchell‘s 35-point performance for Utah in the Spurs’ 124-120 overtime victory over the Jazz on Friday night.

The Spurs won their sixth straight and beat the Jazz for the first time in four meetings this season.

Utah’s 12-game road winning streak came to an end, but only after Mitchell had 14 points in the fourth quarter, including three 3-pointers in the final two minutes to force overtime.

San Antonio remained sixth in the Western Conference with the same record as fifth-place New Orleans, a half-game behind Oklahoma City for fourth. Utah remained eighth in the West.

After free throws by Spurs guards Manu Ginobili and Patty Mills and a dunk by Jazz center Rudy Gobert put San Antonio up 114-111, Mitchell drained his third 3-pointer of the fourth with 3.6 seconds remaining to force overtime.

Mills, who finished with 23 points, had six points in overtime as the Spurs capped an undefeated six-game homestand.

Aldridge averaged 32.2 points and 9.0 rebounds during the winning streak, including two double-doubles.

Aldridge scored 28 points in the first half on 12-for-16 shooting, including a 3-pointer.

Utah missed its first six shots and was 4 for 14 as San Antonio grabbed a 19-8 lead midway through the first quarter. Mitchell settled the Jazz, scoring six points to cut the Spurs lead to 29-21 heading into the second quarter.

Mitchell was 14-for-35 shooting while falling six points shy of his season-high.

Derrick Favors added 22 points for Utah and Ricky Rubio had 20.

Ginobili finished with 18 points for the Spurs.

Stephen Curry leaves game with knee injury

In his first night back from an ankle injury that forced him to miss six games, Stephen Curry limped off the court not to return after in third quarter Friday night after JaVale McGee fell into his knee.

He limped to the bench then eventually to the locker room after the injury.

The severity of the injury is not yet known and should become clear on Saturday after an MRI.

Curry scored 29 points and grabbed seven rebounds before being forced to leave the game, and the Warriors held on to win the game.

Obviously, if Curry is out heading into the playoffs, that changes the dynamic in the West, where the Houston Rockets were already right on the heels of the Warriors.

Pacers use late surge to beat Clippers, close in on playoffs

Associated Press
Leave a comment

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Bojan Bogdanovic scored 28 points and the Indiana Pacers used a late 9-0 run to hold on for a 109-104 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night, putting them on the precipice of clinching a playoff spot.

The Pacers won for only the second time in five games but can clinch a playoff berth with one more win or a Detroit loss.

Los Angeles’ fading playoff aspirations were dealt another blow. The Clippers are now three games behind Utah for the final postseason spot in the Western Conference. Utah was playing later Friday.

Lou Williams led Los Angeles with 27 points and DeAndre Jordan finished with 14 points and 11 rebounds as the Clippers lost for the fifth time in six games.

They certainly had a chance to turn things around.

After the Clippers rallied from an 18-point deficit to take an 88-87 lead with 7:36 left in the fourth quarter, the teams traded the lead 10 times before Victor Oladipo made one of two free throws to leave it tied at 100 with 2:17 to play.

Bogdanovic broke the tie with a 12-footer and the Pacers followed that with seven straight points before Williams made a layup with 12 seconds left to end the run.

The Clippers were making shots early but couldn’t pull away from Indiana.

They led 28-27 after one and allowed Indiana to use a 9-2 spurt midway through the second quarter to erase a six-point deficit and take a 40-39 lead.

The Pacers scored the final five points of the half to break a 53-all tie and broke it open early in the third when Oladipo made his first three shots of the game, including two 3-pointers to make it 66-55.

Indiana then poured it on. Thaddeus Young‘s layup with 9:02 left in the third made it a 12-point game. Milos Teodosic‘s basket briefly halted the run, but the Pacers scored the next nine points to make it 75-57 with 6:19 to go.

Los Angeles closed the third quarter on a 12-5 run to get to 82-76.

LeBron James throws touchdown pass like Cleveland fans hope Sam Darnold can

Cleveland fans can only hope Sam Darnold is as good a passer as LeBron James.

And that his receivers are better than Jose Calderon. Or at least taller.

LeBron James grabbed a rebound and threw a perfect touchdown pass to a leaked out Jose Calderon as the Cavaliers went on to beat the Phoenix Suns Friday night.

By the way, LeBron made a nice dish to the returned Larry Nance Jr., too.

Comments on: Kyle Lowry suggests Nene holds back John Wall Basketball - NBC Sports Sat, 24 Mar 2018 10:48:39 +0000 hourly 1 By: conjecture101 Tue, 02 Apr 2013 20:19:27 +0000 Duncan/Splitter — Parker

Griffin/Jordan — Paul
Faried/Mcgee — Lawson

By: jaerba Tue, 02 Apr 2013 04:01:26 +0000 Eh, there might not be. The problem with Adjusted +/- is you need such a huge sample size to have any kind of reasonable confidence with it, and that doesn’t exist for Wall and Nene.

You’re right that his points per play could go down with more scoring options on the court, but that doesn’t necessarily mean his scoring suffers. For instance, it’s also possible (this is just a hypothetical) that the pace increases with Nene, so while his points per play decreases, his points per time may increase. It’d be like in business, lowering profit per unit for the sake of increasing revenue.

At this point, you’d really need a qualitative look to figure it out, with SportsVUE cameras or just good old fashioned game tape. I’m sure Lowry has a good idea of what’s going on from tape.

By: llfreedman Tue, 02 Apr 2013 01:38:33 +0000 hmmm I don’t know what to make of these stats. For one thing the numbers all seem pretty similar….Second, wouldn’t his points per play naturally go down when another decent scorer is in the game because they take his shots away? There’s gotta be some kind of efficiency usage stat that would prove Lowry’s statement better.
