Three Things YouTube Has Learned From Pre-Roll Video Advertising

And It Hopes to Learn More By Testing Skippable Ads

By Published on .

Once upon a time, YouTube was a site that didn't believe in pre-roll. My how times have changed.

YouTube skippable preroll adEnlarge

Today it's launching yet another incarnation in its video-monetization plan: skippable ads. These have a small icon in the upper right offering viewers a "skip this ad" option. Clicking it takes one straight to the video.

Why might it launch such a thing? First of all, it believes it'll be able to command higher prices from advertisers for the ads because the users will actually want to be engaged and watching. But it also hopes giving people the option to skip will result in better research about what makes people want to watch an ad. Here are a few things it's already learned about pre-rolls:

  • Length matters. The site originally eschewed pre-rolls on short-form content because it said rates at which people would abandon the ad -- and the video -- were too high. But now that it offers 15-second ads, completion rates (the opposite of abandonment rates), hover around around 85%.
  • Creative matters a lot. YouTube compared how often people abandon online video ads to how often people change the channel during TV commercials (using Google TV data). Controlling for all other variables, said Phil Farhi, product manager at YouTube, creative appears to have three times the influence on abandonment rates on the web as it does on TV. His hypothesis for the difference? "Online video is a more lean-forward active experience whereas TV lends itself to passive viewing," he said -- perhaps making lousy creative more tolerable.
  • Choice is important. YouTube introduced a "choose your own ad" scheme this summer for long-form content -- people could choose whether to watch a longer ad up front or multiple ads throughout the content and they could choose what ad they wanted to watch. Since then, it's found a majority of people actually do choose what ads they want to watch. And, said Mr. Farhi, "once somebody chooses an ad we see a higher completion rate on that ad than for a corresponding pre-roll that we've chosen." Turns out people actually do know what they want.

TOUR VIBE – On Hanging Out With Drake, Jasmine, and Having an Arm Immortalized

Your never know who you’re going to run into while waiting in line to use the restroom! This is how our own Glambs Fan Club Leader Kelly tells the story…

Kelly, who attended the Dallas concert, was standing in line at the “family” restroom area with her daughter, Shelby. Shelby spotted Drake first, and Kelly waved to him in what she describes as an “idiotic way” since she knew he didn’t know her. Kelly said hi and told him that he didn’t know her, but that she had friended him on facebook. Drake laughed and said if it was the PVT one, that was not really him. Kelly said they talked about the show, and he asked if they were enjoying it. Of course, Kelly and her daughter said yes! When Kelly asked if they could take photos with him, Drake responded over and over that “he was nobody.” Kelly assured him that he was indeed someone!

Drake asked for their names and where they were from and agreed to the photos. Kelly describes him like this: “he is so cute, he had on a tank top and jeans and boots…he is a tiny little thing. Tats on arm and chest. Very well groomed…sweet as could be and very gracious.” Kelly showed him her bracelet of Adam, and Drake asked where she got it. She told him ebay, and he jokingly replied that he was gonna sell Adam’s old bed, and did she want to bid on it! He added that she must be a big fan to go to ebay. Kelly said she hated to buy something that Adam did not profit from, but that she got it early on and wanted to show her support for him.

Kelly says that they did not discuss Adam specifically as she did not think it was appropriate, and that she was interested in talking to Drake about Drake. Kelly felt that Drake probably gets slammed with Adam questions all the time.

And finally, Kelly called a friend of hers to say that she’d met Drake, and Drake actually took the phone and talked to her, too! He asked her why she wasn’t at the show, and the friend told him it was because she was in Illinois. He told her she better be at the other one “be there or be square.” Kelly said that Drake then made a funny face as though he wondered why he had said that. Drake told the friend that he thought Kelly was funny and that he loved her.

All in all Kelly thought that Drake was sweet and humble, and from her descriptions, I would have to agree. I have to admit that I had seen some photos and videos that didn’t portray Drake in the best light, so I’m happy to hear that in person he comes off as funny and unassuming.

Kelly’s excellent adventure didn’t end with meeting Drake. She also met Jasmine Murray, who was at the concert with her mom. They all talked a while at the 7Club inside the venue. Jasmine was in town for the week working on getting a record done.

And finally, last, but best of all, Kelly had the supreme good luck to get an autograph from Adam at the Tulsa concert – not on a photo or magazine, but on her arm! Kelly says she’s not washing it, and will take showers from now on holding the arm up!

Way to go, Kelly!!! All of us thank you for sharing your experiences and photos with us. And thanks to Drake, for being as sweet as we were hoping he was, and to Adam, for, well…being Adam.

~~Jeanette, on behalf of Kelly

  1. How Lucky was that! Drake sure is a QT. Sounds like a nice guy also. Fun story, appreciate it! The pics are great. Thank you.

  2. What a lovely story. I’m glad Adam and Drake are together — if Drake is as sweet as he sounds they both belong together. Thanks for your story 🙂

  3. What a lovely story. I’m glad Adam and Drake are together — if Drake is as sweet as he sounds they both belong together. Thanks for your story 🙂

  4. I think Kelly should go to a tattoo shop and have them make Adam’s signature permanent !!! I know I would. What a lucky lady.

    • AdamAddict says:

      I thought the same thing before I read your comment.Kelly should think that seriously! 😀

      • speechless says:

        I had a friend who did that last year with David Cook. It turned out amazing!! I would do it if i was young.. 🙂

  5. Wow! Thats a relief to know that Drake is a sweet guy. I too had seen and heard some things that made him look not-so-nice. Well I guess I should have had more faith I mean we all know what fabulous taste Adam has in clothes, makeup, jewelry, and music. Of course he would have great taste in guys as well.

  6. I’m curious, did Drake have cajun accent? What an awesome story.

    • Kelly Craig says:

      We all sound the same in the south to me.. So I am not sure of the accent.. He was so sweet though. Very cute…. my daughter did get Adam’s signature on the tour book… mine was only on my arm LOL

      • Lisette here..thenks for sharing yur lovli storyregarde to meeting Drake an he soundes charmante.An how wonderful to meet an av Adam signe yur arme..oh,la,la very special indeed.An agree I’d av to hold arm away from watre an showering as longe as well possible.An very nice yur daughter got autographs too..Ah I do enjoie reading all thes lovli articles an tour encounters of meeting our beauhearte Adam.Thinq I’d be a bit starstruck an just seein him thet close I’d be al loss for words an just stare into his crystal/bleu eyes for sure I’d liv up to blonde haire colour then..Wel neverminde thet will not be for awhile sadly as I av miss seeing those westcoast/an s.west concertes due to illness,an do hope still to attend somehow flying to eastcoast ones.Thenks for sharing with all us glamb an Adam’s angels I like to thinq!

  7. Kelly Craig says:

    Just so we are clear, Drake was at the DALLAS show when I met him. I met Adam at the Tulsa show… which, by the way, was much better than Dallas… As far as the accent, I am from Texas so we all sound alike! 🙂

    • Jeanette says:

      I apologize for mixing up the cities…I have edited my article to make the correction. Thanks, Kelly!

  8. Awwww I LOVE YOUR ARM! Can I save a pic of your arm in my phone? So awesome. I love Adam very much.

  9. What a wonderful experience for you, Kelliy and Shelby… good for you!

    Re. accents, I realize the south has a general ‘ southern accent” but i lived in Austin, Tex and there was every sort of accent. My neighbour thought I had a British accent but I know I speak much like TV broadcasters and/or California/west coasters.

  10. Great story! I wanted to comment too, on a story currently on-line. If it’s true, Adam and Kris were chatting backstage, when a fan rushed over and grabbed Adam’s hand. He flipped out because his nails were wet and she smeared them. My question is, why was a fan backstage in the first place, and why did she think she could run up to a performer and grab him? Not only did she invade his space without invitation, she could have had hostile intent. I don’t blame Adam for his reaction. She should have known better. But I suppose the media will play this up as proof that Adam is a “diva.”

    • Apologies, everyone. On the Adam Lambert “Official” website, it says this never happened and Adam said it never happened. Would make sense–I’m sure fans don’t run willy nilly backstage. And polish doesn’t take that long to dry–why would he be standing around backstage talking to Kris and nails still be wet? Some “hater” starting another story to bring Adam down, but sorry, it doesn’t have a prayer in affecting his fan’s mad love!

      • adamtastic1877 says:

        actually just for the record, nail polish DOES take a long time to dry (at least for me) like at least 10 minutes if i smear it

      • This is such a load of crap. By all accounts I’ve seen, the only Idols who have ever talked with fans *before* the shows are Matt and Michael. Most of them, including Adam, sequester themselves to save their voices and energy for the performance. So I knew this “story” was just that the first time I saw anything about it. The same source that is propogating this on the internet ( also says “rumor has it Adam won’t be doing any more meet and greets for the remainder of the tour,” this after he’s done several since the Florida craziness.

        Another one bites the dust.

    • adamtastic1877 says:

      aww…thats was rude of her!

  11. THERESA, hey, Terry! I was re-reading over on the Memphis page, and saw your question to me about the watch that was given to Adam that WAS ELVIS’ watch. I saw it prfesented to him on tv, I think, but it was while he was on stage at the YHA ceremony. There was only one watch hand made for Elvis, and he was gifted Elvis’ watch, I’m guessing it came via Lisa Marie, eventho the presenter did not say or mention
    Lisa Marie or Priscilla, but did say that this fall there are going to be copies of the watch for retail! Adam put the watch on and was VERY somber and truly appreciative for the obviously Big Deal gift, since HE was actually given Elvis’ own personal piece of jewelry. I’m sure you know, Terry, w/o me saying anything what a VERY BIG DEAL that was!! After the ceremony, Adam was interviewed behind the curtains off stage, and you might find that interview or the whole ceremony on youtube. Just check out the YHA ceremony, as a matter of fact, if I’m not mistaken, I think Kara was present on stage! Anyway, hope I answered your question, and apologize for missing it on 7-27! It was really very moving!
    peace-love-light 2 Adam and all Glambs!

    • Yes, Cheryl I found it after asking you yesterday. It was backstage (saw the video). It had originally been made for Elvis, just the one watch, and it was new. Elvis never got it. Now they are making them but Adam got the first one.Not only was he appreciative but he seemed to think the design was awesome and very current. We’ve seen him in a watch with a black strap so maybe that’s the one.

      We are ‘dying’ here in Vancouver, even Tacoma was 100 deg today, you’d think we were in the east!! ha ha

      • THERESA, thanks for that update! You know, I just could not remember what they said about Elvis wearing that watch, and now I know why!! He didn’t wear it! But, yeah, I remember Adam commenting on how cool it was and how genuine he was. I’ll check out the watch he’s wearing, you know, I’ve not even noticed that!!! I’m getting slow, here!!

        What in the world are you all doing with 100 degrees!!!! Good nite! It has been in the high 70’s-low 80’s here all summer! This has been the nicest summer in a long time! I barely use my a/c! OMG, be careful in that kind of heat! When it’s THAT hot I refuse to be out in it. Just run to the car, and run into whatever bldg I need to, but spend as little time as possible actually in the heat!!! Just wait a few months! Winter will be here sooner than you think! Hahaha!

    • Lisette here..hi Cheryl an Theresa too,ah I luved seeing when beau Adam recive thes very speciale watch on utube thinq as I hed non seen on tv.An agree it must have meante so very much to Adam being it was made for Elvis an having quest piece of jewelry sure he’ll trasur for always!Agan I’ll always espress ther’s a very uncanny resemblance to a young Elvis speciale when he wear’s his hair back away from his classique hansome features,his bone structure,around l’eyes an even his lips shapes,an in ballads soundes lot like Elvis in some of his oldre songes ..In Ring of Fire something aboute his inflectiones an velvettones as I av seen in an old film an in comeback special Elvis an Adam wearing black sleek fitting pants,facial espressiones,an sensual moves..okay sorry to go on..I get carrie away.Thenks agan for sharing Luv to all ..bisous Lisette!

      • LISETTE, yes, I love Adam in those pants in Ring o’ Fire!!! Goodness sakes alive!! And Elvis, I was so lucky to see Elvis before he died. Of course, I’ve got the video of the 68 Comeback Special. Wasn’t he just a gorgeous man!!! He liked the black leather, and Adam knows how hot the black looks on him and with his hair so hot!!! It’s easy to see, that whether Adam realizes it or not, Elvis has influenced him in so many ways tha it is hard to ignore!
        peace to you, Lisette…………..!

  12. I am from Texas, Houston, and I have heard Drake speak, and I believe that he does have a slight cajun accent. There are some You Tube videos of him touring Europe with friends also.

    Adam was fantastic as always, even though he did seem a little tired, or “off” while in Dallas.

    I met him face to face and he is absolutely breathtaking! His eyes hypnotize you when he looks straight at you! He is very slim and tall.

  13. AdamAddict says:

    U very lucky! I’m so jealous and happy 4 U at the same time.Drake seems a nice person.Talked to U and talked to the person in the phone.That’s so sweet!He can just ignore you guys because like he said,he’s nobody.But not only he did talked,but taking picture as well!Awww,I fell in love with this guy.So,I approve him with Adam!Hahaha!Yeah,right why the hell he needs our approval?LOL!
    I like when you said you just talked but not about Adam because he probably got that a lot.How much he likes Adam but it’s annoying if people keep asking about him,how he suppose to answer if people ask about Adam.They probably paparazi or something,right?Next thing he knows,everything he said to “Adam’s fan” in TMZ!U respect him,that’s good!Smart!
    And I really want to know this,please answer.I saw he’s pictures and noticed he has this long curl eyelashes.So,is that real?Did you asked him if he wearing mascara or something?Seriously,I kill for that curl eyelashes!!Aaargh!!So pretty!!

  14. adamfancajungirl says:

    I am from Louisiana and I live in the deep southern part of the state. I am a pure cajun woman and I have a cajun accent. I also speak cajun french. I watched a video with Drake speaking in it and I did detect a cajun accent. The town where he lives is not very far from where I live. I would love to know more about him and his family. Drake seems to be a very good person and I’m sure he’s good to Adam. Adam is so special and deserves the best that life can offer. Wish I could have seen him on tour,but they didn’t come to Louisiana. Hopefully I’ll get to see him on his solo tour one day.

  15. You idiots are delusional.

  16. Just wanted to tell Lisette: I love reading your posts!!

  17. I was wondering where you know to wait for the bus that they are on??? My friend and me are going to the grand rapids,mi concert. I would give anything for a picture or an autograph. How early should we get there???

  18. Christy L. says:

    Hi…this is Drake’s mom. I just wanted to respond to Kelly’s meeting with Drake. He is exactly as she described! Drake is a sweetheart. And yes, he is also very silly! That’s my favorite thing about him!! He has kept us laughing for 24 years!! I’m so glad that people out there are getting to see who he is. The media can portray you in an awful manner…and Drake is truly an amazing person. To Drake all of this publicity is strange. When people see him or follow him or talk to him, it’s something new to him. When I hear or see negative things about him, it makes me sad, because that is so not who he is. Adam also is an amazing person. He’s kind and generous…and loves his fans. They are both very down to earth people. As for Drakes accent…he does have a cajun accent. He lived in South Louisiana most of his life…a cajun doesn’t get rid of that accent very easily! But it’s a very cute accent…very unique! 😉 Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your story about meeting Drake. I laughed through it thinking…yep, that was Drake! Thanks…you made my day!!

    • Christy L… I’m so glad you found this post! We have also dismayed at how he has been portrayed and when someone in our group actually got to meet him we were thrilled to hear the “real” story. Although I didn’t get to personally meet Drake (dang-it), my hubby is from Texas and so I understand about the slight drawl… even after being away from it for over 15 years!

      Kudos to you for bringing another wonderful soul into our lives!

    • Jeanette says:

      Christy, thank you for your post and for the additional insight into your son! He sounds like such a fun person and yet very humble and sweet. I wish I could have been there with Kelly to meet him! We’re glad you liked the article and that it made you laugh!

    • Thanks so much, Christy L, for your wonderful comment!

      What makes this AI Tour so much more amazing than any other are the warm, personal touches shared by you, Kelly’s meet-up with Drake, and other up-close tour experiences….(and I suppose, my involvement as Glamb#9 admin of this site which I wouldn’t have ever thought to do before there was “Adam”)! These shared encounters are a gift to the rest of us who weren’t there, and yet can feel the reality of it through yours and their eyes.

      I’m involved because of Adam’s incredible talent and persona; Adam obviously saw something so very sweet in Drake; Kelly saw it too, and you added the best touch of all!

      Sans being there myself, it just doesn’t get any better! So, thanks tons, Christy! Your kind words made a difference!

    • AdamRocks! says:

      Christy, thanks so much for posting. . . how cool to hear from you! And thank you for raising such a wonderful young man. 🙂

      Cindy in MS

    • Christy, how nice of you to post here! You and Leila have done a wonderful job raising two lovely young men.

      I have a seven-year-old son who already loves to dance and sing (and he’s quite good at both, if I do say so myself, although he sure didn’t get it from me or his father).

      The most important thing we can do as parents is not to shape and mold our children into our own images or who we think they should be, but to stand back and give them room (and support) to grow into exactly the people they are. You’ve both obviously done that to glorious effect.

  19. Just like SO many others, I’m interested in everything Adam! You’re doing GREAT a job with this site….It’s now one of my favorites. Thank you for all of your effort! I really enjoyed reading the comments from Drake’s mom and also some that I’ve seen elsewhere from Adam’s mom. Having a grown son myself, I can easily identify with them. We’re witnessing the birth of a super-star. I wish Adam all the success he deserves.

Ringing in 2016!

Happy 2016 sweet friends!  It's been an eternity since I've graced this site- and it feels really good to be back.

A lot happened in 2015.  Too much to recap in one post, but if you follow me on Instagram, you're pretty much up to speed.  For those of you that don't, here are the cliff notes:

I'm a mom to a sweet little girl, Ellie.  She's a whopping 10 months old and officially became the center of my universe the moment we met her.  Since becoming a mom, I've gone back to work and months later, decided all the required travel was no longer for me.  So, I left my job and my sister and I started a small business- One Happinest.

Obviously having a baby was all sorts of spectacular.  But the balance, patience, perseverance and learning that followed, was the true challenge within 2015.  Last year, one of my goals was to enjoy being a mom.  And that I did.  Every. Single. Day.  But that enjoyment was flanked by fear, comparison, monotony, and inadequacy,  Raising a little person is tough work.  But with grace and patience and understanding, we are making great strides in this little life.

I'm so looking forward to a new year, new goals, and new challenges.  Bring on the blank pages and let the adventures begin!

the big news.

...and there you have it.  really, we have no words to express how excited we are about our littlest addition!

as of lately.

as of lately, i've become exceptionally motivated to get back into blogging.  it could be the cooler temps or my sudden interest in baking or that i'm dreaming of new spaces to call home.

a. and i started the housing hunt just recently and while it's been frustrating and scary at times, it's also been fun to imagine a life in san diego where we're finally settled in a place we love enough to call home.  after months and months of online hunting we're at the point where we know exactly what we want, now it's just a matter of finding it.

aside from the hunt, i'm finally getting my footing with the new job.  traveling while balancing life and work is no easy feat.  when i accepted this gig i knew there'd be a lot of travel but i had no idea how quickly it would change my life.  don't get me wrong, i love it, but finding balance has been exceptionally tough.

now that things are starting to slow down (or will in about a month) i'm excited to dive back into routine and spend ample time adventuring, with the hubs, and crafting to my hearts content.  sounds pretty good, right?!

weekly letters.

dear europe, your old world charm never ceases to mesmerizes me.  i'm so grateful to be here to experience this.  dear hubby, travel isn't the same without you.  let's plan a getaway stat.  dear data plan, i totally take you for granted.  i'll cherish the days of text messages and phone calls.  dear us of a, i'm forever thankful to call you home & can't wait to see you tomorrow.

weekly letters.

dear june, you bring so much specialness to our lives.  thanks for reminding us to slow down, celebrate love, and bbq often.  dear hubby, can you believe it's been 9 years?  i don't think we look a day over 22 and 23...wouldn't you agree?  i know it always hasn't been easy, so thanks for standing beside me, laughing at my corny jokes, being my best friend, and reminding me daily that a love like ours is always worth fighting for.  dear littlest sis, you graduated high school and i'm an emotional mess.  i'm so happy for the next chapter in your life and the many adventures yet to come.  cheers to you & your many great accomplishments.  dear hot tom oil, only 17 days until i get to mow-down on stretch bread and your goodness.

Literary Connections in CHILDREN OF GOD

Literary Connections are those times when something you’ve read in one book comes into play in another book you read shortly after. It's been a while since I did one of these posts but my reading has been so unexpectedly interconnected that I just had to share it with you.

My reading has been very eclectic lately (big surprise, huh?) and not all of the books have been great reads.  But there does seem to be a larger plan at work here and I saw it come together while reading Mary Doria Russell's CHILDREN OF GOD (CoG) for this month's read-a-long ...
  • In CoG there is a character named Joseba who is from the Basque region of Spain.  His background is in terrorism and his family had a history of being involved in ETA.  Also, he is fluent in Euskara.  All this would have meant very little to me had I not recently listened to THE BASQUE HISTORY OF THE WORLD.  I didn't particularly enjoy that book but I did learn a great deal from it.  That knowledge definitely came in useful here and it helped me to appreciate this character and his unique perspective.
  • Another character in CoG is Danny Iron Horse, descendant of the Lakota Sioux tribe and also of Swedish immigrants.  Having just finished listening to the amazingness that is BURY MY HEART AT WOUNDED KNEE and also the highly educational INDIAN CHIEFTAINS AND GREAT HEROES, I understood a great deal about Danny's background and the perspective and prejudices that he brought to the book. The decisions he made near the end of CoG made a stronger impact on me than they had during my previous reading of this book because I now understand more of where he's coming from.
  • This last point isn't meaningful as the previous ones, but ... At one point a characters describes someone else's viewpoint as definitely not Panglossian and having recently read Candide I understood that reference.  Pangloss was a character to looked on the world with unfailing optimism, always believing that things will work out "for the best, in this best of all possible worlds."
I love how things like this come together unexpectedly and allow me to take more from a book than I originally expected to.

Florinda said...

I'm glad you posted this now, while I'm still in my re-read - it'll add a bit to the experience. I love finding literary connections!

Heather J. said...

Florinda - I love when this stuff happens too! I'm looking forward to seeing your thoughts on this book when you finish reading. Also, you're going to the meetup in Santa Barbara tomorrow, right? I'm so jealous! Say hi to Jill and Ti for me please. :)

I came upon your blog while seeking a deeper understanding of the rudrastakam. My baba always said that 'that which is not' is defined most beautifully in the stanzas, probably paralleling adi's lingastakam. Thank you for that.

In one of your posts you mention the anguish of a guru-less life. I must tell you that the guru comes to you, seeking him is fruitless. Seek the knowledge, n the guru will materialise.

I truly hope you carry on writing though. It so beautiful.

Able1 I can completely relate to you, I come from a very Italian family and my mother is completely against guns in any way, shape or form. I can thank her for helping me get into airsoft tho. I played paintball for a number of years and i finally got the money to own my own gun, so i dropped a load of cash on the gun of my dreams. One day I came home and found that the gun was broken, the stock had been ripped off and the internals were gone. My mom said she sat on it and it broke. After that I felt a change was in order and started researching and getting interested in airsoft.

I'm telling you this as a warning, it sounds like your mom is acting a lot like mine. If you're staying at home and want to keep your gun i suggest you go to Canadian Tire or where ever and buy yourself a hard gun case and a lock, trust me it sounds like you will need it.

So basically, they want us to pay a heck of alot of money to buy guns in Canada, because the stores that sell them to us pay a heck of alot of money to the government via licences and tariffs. To ensure this, importing a gun yourself is illegal.

Am I missing something? or is this all about the government squeezing every penny out of us once again?
I believe in ordinance overkill

I do not believe in a god, except as a personified image of an ought, a moral imperative declaring the best ways for human beings to live.

To say, for instance, that “Jesus is the way” makes sense to me in those terms.  To the extent that the behavior and teachings of Jesus reveal the best ways for us to live—lovingly, peaceably, wisely—then Jesus deserves our reverence and commands our following, as do any others who demonstrate comparable virtues, of whatever time or culture—a pantheon of virtuous paragons.

These virtuous exemplars inspire emulation rather than command obedience.  They bid us to follow in the righteousness of their decisions and actions, but not to deify their persons, build statues or monuments to worship them, or to turn them into idols.

Moses is the way, Jesus is the way, the Buddha is the way, Lao-tse is the way, and countless others, women as well as men, ancients and contemporaries—all who keep and show the way of loving kindness, of compassion, of care for the well-being of all creatures, great and small.

To be thus godly is our goal.

Hangover Sports Roundup

Lobos crash back to reality, 49ers bully Packers

By Justin Goodrum [ Tue Sep 11 2012 11:15 AM ]

Lobo Football

When the University of New Mexico defeated the Southern Jaguars 66-21 their opening weekend, it was the fresh start the football program desperately needed. For the first time in three years every part of the team worked in sync, showing some potential for Lobo Football to be successful again. The only only damper on the victory was the fact they beat a poor team from a weak conference. Southern offered little opposition and little opportunity for UNM to show their stuff beyond a spectacular halftime show. So when the Lobos squared off against the No.15 Texas Longhorns, fans and critics were given an accurate depiction of New Mexico's football program.

Lobo fans watching the first half had reason to feel okay as their defense kept Texas to a less-than-terrifying 17-0 lead at halftime. But after UNM quarterback B.R. Holbrook suffered a concussion in the second quarter, the optimism quickly turned into panic. The Longhorns proved why they are a true college football powerhouse by forcing four Lobo turnovers and a crushing final score of 45-0. Even though UNM suffered another beat-down at the hands of a top college football team, the Lobos had a solid ground attack and were even able to rush for 206 yards. Local sports talk radio were surely filled with calls angry and depressed fans already claiming this season was a failure. But sensible fans can hardly expect head coach Bob Davie to work a miracle in one season. Former coach Mike Locksley caused huge damage to an already fragile program. It's going take years to transform UNM into a threatening college football program. As for this season, if Davie can lead his team to a decent performance at Texas Tech before the big grudge match against New Mexico State, the Lobos should feel confident heading into Mountain West Conference play.

NFL Opening Weekend

Just two years ago, The San Francisco 49ers looked like the shell of a franchise that won five Super Bowls. But ever since second-year head coach Jim Harbaugh took over, honor and respect have been restored to the Bay Area. Last year, the 49ers proved to be a dark horse when came out of nowhere to go 13-2, win their division and play in the NFC Championship game. With the target off their backs, the 'Niners looked towards a tough season opener against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field this last weekend. Meanwhile, the Packers were looking to erase the memory of losing to the eventual Super Bowl Champions the New York Giants. If the 49ers could defeat Green Bay on the road, it would seal their place as one of the elite teams of the league.

San Francisco quarterback Alex Smith exercised his new offensive weapons Mario Manningham and Randy Moss while picking apart the Packer defense. Along with Frank Gore's power-running game, he led the 49ers into a 16-7 lead at halftime. Aaron Rodgers was able to move the ball for Green Bay but failed to make the game-changing play that would have captured the lead. The Packers cut the Niners' 16-point lead to just 8 in the fourth quarter. But Harbaugh's signature defense held steady and managed to avoid a last-second Green Bay comeback. San Francisco’s 30-22 victory should give them the momentum they need moving forward into the season and will potentially set them up for a repeat of last year's success and beyond.

A rookie’s guide to picking a fantasy football league

Top site destinations to get you and your team to the top.

By Justin Goodrum [ Tue Aug 28 2012 3:24 PM ]

When online fantasy football gained popularity, almost all my friends wanted a piece of the action. I had always been the kind of fan that obsessed over how many yards Michael Vick could run or how many touchdowns Aaron Rogers could throw, but it wasn't until recently that I finally caved and joined the fantasy league craze. Entering a league for the first time can be very intimidating, but with the right league, first time players can easily convert into fantasy junkies (and less productive members of society). Several sites provide different experiences for various skill levels as well as tools for any player to dominate in their league. Fantasy League pairs up with television programs like Sportscenter, NFL Live and Fantasy Football Now to allow players to spend every second with their team. Sign-up is as simple as a link to a player's Facebook account. For rookies, taking the time to go over the rules of ESPN Fantasy is a must. Beginners may also find it beneficial to watch ESPN's Matthew Berry's introduction videos, which teach aspects of play stretching from selecting a league to picking available free agents. The site offers pre-season pointers, cheat sheets and video previews of top-projected performers which help in picking the most efficient team. Basic ESPN Fantasy League play is free, but to get the most out of the site, users will have to dig into their wallets and sign up for the perks of being an ESPN Insider. ESPN's Fantasy League mobile app also does an awesome job of condensing the larger site to help players keep tabs on their teams. The ESPN Fantasy League generally does a great job of integrating television, internet and mobile devices to create an enjoyable experience.

Naturally, the NFL offers its own fantasy football site, but unlike ESPN, they raise the stakes by offering the best players opportunities to win prizes—including tickets to Super Bowl XLVII. The site is free to sign up and play, but users can also play in a paid league which offers additional prizes like signed jerseys, game balls and authentic memorabilia. But, with bigger prizes comes a more difficult layout and the loss of free guides. The scoring system can also be confusing and complicated for new players, giving an advantage to those with more xperience. The site does offer some cool game-tracking features such as video highlights. Users can also watch NFL Fantasy Live every weekday and on Sundays to get the latest news and advice. The mobile app rivals ESPN's by including live scores, recent news and the ability to create and join leagues. While the league offers increased difficulty, there's a lot to like if fantasy junkies want to take their game to that next level.

Gold-medal wrestler Jordan Burroughs

Hangover Sports Roundup

Fresh and unsung U.S. Olympic medalists

By Justin Goodrum [ Mon Aug 13 2012 3:53 PM ]

As always, the Olympic Games provided memorable sporting moments that will be talked about for years to come. Highlights of 2012 include Usain Bolt making history by winning three medals in back-to-back Olympics, and Michael Phelps becoming the most-decorated (and arguably greatest) Olympian in history. But with a limited amount of sports featured on the NBC primetime telecast, many athletic feats won't get the attention and respect they deserve. To be specific, let’s examine two athletes who not only won gold but are also primed to make history in future Olympic Games.

Outside of the wrestling and combat-sports community, Jordan Burroughs was a relative unknown despite his two NCAA titles and All-American status at the University of Nebraska. Burroughs’ success in college has caught the attention of the Mixed Martial Arts world to make the crossover. However, he had other plans by beginning his quest to become the greatest American wrestler ever. The 2011 World Championships saw Burroughs win the 74kg championship and made him a favorite to win gold in London. Burroughs embraced his role as the new star of American wrestling by changing his Twitter handle to @alliseeisgold. His confidence and swagger proved to be a valuable asset in defeating a difficult field of Iranian and Russian wrestlers. In the final, Burroughs achieved his destiny by overcoming his 2011 World Championship foe, Sadegh Saeed Goudarzi to claim gold. Along with extending his 38-straight international freestyle match winning streak, the 24-year old got a nice $250,000 bonus from the Living the Dream Medal Fund. When asked what his future held, Burroughs sees more championships and medals on the horizon. If he continues to win gold, he might be in line to replace Phelps as the face of the USA Olympic team.

The United States has always had a strong history in the sport of boxing in the Olympic games. But lately it has been struggling, with the men's team failing to medal for the first time in history. With talk of creating different plans to revitalize America's dominance in boxing, there was pressure on the women to deliver. For the first time, women were allowed compete in boxing. Most of the attention before the games went to Marlen Esparza who appeared in various commercials leading into London. Esparza captured the bronze in the flyweight division, but the youngest member of the team, Claressa Shields, earned the gold. Shields has a classic underdog boxing story growing up in a tough neighborhood in Flint, Michigan. Despite her personal struggles, Shields became the first woman to win a gold medal in women's boxing and was the only gold medalist for USA boxing. She's only 17-years old but experts are already stating she's the new face of boxing in America. With Holly Holm being unknown outside of New Mexico, Shields could fill the void that Laila Ali once had. And with Shields being fairly young, she’d surely excel in future Olympics, although she may capitalize on her newfound fameand turn pro. But if Shields turns her sights to the 2016 Rio Games, USA boxing future may lie with the women instead of the men.

Olympics basketball forecast

Team USA had better watch out for Spain and Argentina

By Justin Goodrum [ Mon Jul 16 2012 4:58 PM ]

In 2008, the United States basketball team was on a mission to restore our title as the best basketball nation in the world. Named the “Redeem Team,” Team USA showed dominance resembling the classic Dream Teams of the past en route to the gold medal. They were under massive pressure from the nation to deliver following the disappointment of the 2004 team. This year’s team is more worried about bragging about upstaging the 1992 Dream Team and dunking exhibitions than defending the title. Despite being lead by LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, key players like Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose are injured.

But before the Olympics, America will play some tune-up games to get ready for London. They already passed their first test by embarrassing the Dominican Republic 113-59. John Calipari lent his services to the Dominican but it was no match for the athleticism and talent of the United States. However, the victory was bittersweet as L.A Clippers star Blake Griffin was injured in practice prior to tip-off. Now Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski must depend on No. 1 pick Anthony Davis to play big minutes against difficult international competition. Most basketball fans are assuming Team USA should destroy the competition, but with a limited time to gel as a unit and injuries, international teams should feel optimistic to pull off the upset.

Spain failed to capture the gold against Team USA in Beijing in 2008, but they pose the biggest threat to America's gold medal chances. NBA veterans Marc Gasol and Serge Ibaka will dominate the middle and should give them an advantage over every other team in the Olympic tournament. Pau Gasol, Rudy Fernandez and José Calderon round out the rest of the pros to give Spain a combination of speed and experience. By avoiding the Americans in group play, Spain shouldn’t have in trouble make it to the medal round. When they final collide with Team USA, the only advantage Spain will have is their inside presence. Without injured point guard Ricky Rubio and the lack of a true superstar, they will have to hope America gets cocky and overconfident in order to prevail.

Similar to Spain, Argentina is on the quest for revenge. In ’08, Argentina went 4-1 in group play but fell to America in the tournament round. Manu Ginobili led fellow NBA pros Carlos Delfino and Luís Scola on one of the most experienced teams in the tournament. Even though Argentina finds themselves in the same group as Team USA, they shouldn't feel intimidated as they defeated the United States in the 2004 Olympic Games. They may lack the number of pros compared to other top international teams, but their success in international competitions make Argentina a contender to win gold in London.

Tiger passes Jack, NBA's free agent frenzy begins

By Justin Goodrum [ Mon Jul 2 2012 2:32 PM ]

The PGA Tour had enjoyed a period of time when nearly everyone thought Tiger Woods was finished competing for any major titles. Besides all of Woods' personal struggles, injuries plagued any attempt of a comeback. But 2012 may be the year Tiger finally got his bite back. Before the AT&T National, he’d won two tournaments (no majors) in 2012 but was ranked fourth in the world golf rankings. In yesterday’s final round at the Congressional, Woods shot a 2-under 69 to outlast Bo Van Pelt and capture the title. Woods' third victory of the year moves him into second place for the most all-time PGA tour victories. Even though he didn't dominate the tournament, the fire and intensity that made Woods a champion seems to be back. The post-tournament press conference was the first example of the old Tiger, as he seemed defiant and borderline arrogant. If Woods' swagger has returned, other PGA golfers should be very concerned.

NBA Free Agency

The moment the Miami Heat won the NBA Finals, every team in the league began to form plans to land the biggest free agents during the off-season.

Dwight Howard is one of the most talented big men in the league, but he's also the most mysterious. Howard's indecisive choices have made him one of the most disliked athletes in the NBA. Despite the Stan Van Gundy firing, Howard still wants out of Orlando, but he'll have to play by the Magic's rules. Because he opted into another year of his contract, Howard can only beg and plead through the media to be traded. Since Howard is only interested in one team, Brooklyn, Orlando should take its time in making a decision—and probably won’t mind making one of the league’s to superstars suffer.

If Dwight Howard truly wants to leave Orlando, he'll need to open his mind to playing in other cities. Especially if free-agent supersatr Deron Williams leaves Brooklyn—making it a much-less desirable team to play for.

Aging veterans Ray Allen and Steve Nash are on the wish list of any team looking to win a title. Nash has to most lucrative offers with his home country’s Toronto Raptors offering a three-year $36 million deal. But money may mean less for Nash, who's still looking to win his first-ever NBA title. While Dallas and Miami may have a shot, look for the Knicks to be factor in the negotiations. Nash lives in New York and would be reunited with former Suns teammate Amar'e Stoudemire.

As for Ray Allen, along with his current team, the Boston Celtics, teams such as Miami and the Grizzlies are looking to land his services. Allen has already won a title and was unhappy coming off the bench last season, which may make Boston less appealing. If the Grizzlies can offer Allen a similar deal as other teams in the league, Memphis could be the favorite. But if Allen wants to capture another championship, he'll have an easier team shooting threes in Miami. Which ever team he chooses, Allen still remains one of the most deadly shooters in the game.

Holly Holm gets revenge, Miami turns up the heat on Thunder

By Justin Goodrum [ Mon Jun 18 2012 2:24 PM ]

Who's says revenge isn't sweet? Holly Holm got some much need retribution in a unanimous-decision victory over Anne Sophie Mathis on Saturday night at the Route 66 Casino. In December, the pair fought a back-and-forth affair that saw Mathis getting the better of Holm with a seventh-round knockout. In the rematch, Holm used a strategy to outbox Mathis instead of engaging in a brawl to avoid getting knocked out. The gameplan may have not been the most crowd pleasing but it got the job done and impressed the judges to earn the 97-93, 96-94, 99-91 victory. Now the debate begins over what move Holm will make next. Along with being an accomplished boxer, she's also had success with mixed martial arts. Despite women's MMA being relatively new, the sport has already made some popular stars and Holm could be next if she makes the full transition. But in the meantime, Mathis will most likely request a rematch away from Albuquerque and in her home country of France. For now, Holm looks to enjoy some time off, but whatever decision Holm makes, the Burque boxing fans will be watching very closely.

NBA Finals

Lebron James has been declared the best player in the world by many NBA experts. James has every basketball ability any player dreams of. But when the NBA Finals began, everyone was quick to declare Kevin Durant the new king. Because of James' past inability to perform in the Finals, it has opened the door for Durant to become the league's best player. Despite tuning the media out with antics such as reading The Hunger Games prior to a big matchup, James seems to have taken his game to the next level by averaging 30 points during the 2012 Finals. In the critical game three, James put his finals nightmares behind him, scoring 29 points and grabbing 14 rebounds. He proved the reign of King James has perhaps only begun by hitting a clutch three in the fourth quarter and outplaying Kevin Durant.

Durant did have 26 points and 6 rebounds, but was in serious foul trouble throughout the game (just like in game two). The Thunder made a run in the fourth quarter to cut the Heat lead, but Miami scored the final seven points to prevent any Oklahoma City comeback. The 85-91 loss puts the Thunder in a 2-1 hole and makes game four a must win. Luckily for the Thunder, it’s been in this situation before, being down 2-0 to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. OKC will need to correct the mistakes if they are going to get back into the series. So far Durant has performed well in his first Finals appearance, but he'll have to find a way to outplay a more determined and focused Lebron James. Game might be the beginning of the King James era, or it may end before it even gets started.

Johnny Tapia's Memorial, Trout defeats Rodriguez, Celtics cool off Heat

By Justin Goodrum [ Mon Jun 4 2012 1:22 PM ]

New Mexico Boxing

The world of boxing suffered a massive loss when Johnny Tapia passed away on Sunday, May 27. Along with being a five-time world champion, Tapia managed to be a positive member of the community while being a respected figure in the sports world. On Sunday night, thousands waited in line to pay their respects to the champ at University Arena. Several members of the boxing community were in attendance, and others offered tributes though video messages. If your’re wondering how much Tapia meant to the boxing world, or just want to relive a classic bout, check out one of most memorable fights in his career when he battled Danny Romero in Las Vegas in 1997.

Las Cruces native and WBA 154-pound world champion Austin Trout retained his title by defeating Delvin Rodriguez by unanimous decision on scores of 120-108, 118-110 and 117-111. Fans and media were unhappy with Trout's performance, but he got the win and is now in the running to face rising star Canelo Alvarez. Alvarez’ original opponent Paul Williams pulled out after a motorcycle crash and his replacement James Kirkland declined the bout after originally accepting it. Hopefully the sport of boxing will do the right thing and give Trout a chance to prove his worth to a larger boxing audience. But his critics are out in force to prevent the fight from happening, not to mention that Alvarez' promoter, Golden Boy Productions, is unlikely to put a fighter with a difficult style against a rising star.

NBA Playoffs

Let the bashing begin. Haters of the Heat had plenty of ammo to throw at Miami for its game four performance. Between being down by 18-points at halftime, LeBron James fouling out and Dwyane Wade missing the game winning shot the seemingly unstoppable Heat looked vulnerable. For casual fans, Boston's 93-91 win may be a sign of Miami cracking, but those who look closer know it’s no time to panic. These teams have developed a heated rivalry by playing close and physical basketball. While Boston has many flaws, the Heat isn't able to exploit them. Chris Bosh's injury enabled the Celtics score 17 second-chance points and get 11 offensive rebounds, despite losing the overall rebounding battle. Momentum may lie with the Celtics, but the Heat have the homecourt advantage and may get the services of Bosh after all. If Miami gets Bosh close to 100 percent and its bench can produce, Boston is in trouble.

Warrior Dash, recapped

By Justin Goodrum [ Thu May 10 2012 2:08 PM ]

What do get when you throw an adventure race, live bands and fried food into a blender? You get the Warrior Dash.

On Cinco de Mayo, participants made their way through 13 challenging obstacles at the Founders Ranch in Edgewood, NM. A race more about physical toughness than speed, Warrior Dash pushes anyone who dares accept the challenge. It was a fun atmosphere which saw racers young and old wearing costumes ranging from Village People to masked wrestlers.

The races went in 30 minute intervals, with loud music in the background and the charismatic race announcer preparing the pack to make the transformation into “warriors.” Some solo warriors pushed through the course as quickly as possible, others went through each obstacle as a team. After racers completed the 5K course, they were greeted by volunteers ready to give medals, water, bananas and received mud hugs from the dirty “warriors.” Spectators cheered on friends and loved ones to not only finish but also get as dirty as possible by sliding toward the end of the course.

The warriors may have found themselves covered in mud from head to toe, but everyone was in good spirits, attempting to get cleaned off by massive a water hose, or remaining covered in their badge of honor. The conclusion of the race was just the beginning as muddy warriors took pictures in front of the dirty Warrior Dash sign and enjoyed food and live music.

For people still deciding whether to try crawling under barbed wire, mud pits and jumping over fire, race director Alex Yount says the goal of the race is to challenge you while having a once in a lifetime experience.

“Warrior Dash is truly for everyone, the goal of Warrior Dash is to challenge your self. So we had people come out that are marathon runners that are trying to get the best time on the course, and we also had people come out that never ran a race before in their lives.”

With around 11,000 New Mexicans making this year’s event a success, Yount says the registration for the 2013 edition of the Dash has already started.

Despite a strong start, Cotto couldn&rsquo;t keep up with Mayweather.

Hangover Sports Roundup

Mayweather defeats Cotto, Nate Diaz submits Jim Miller

By Justin Goodrum [ Mon May 7 2012 2:41 PM ]

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Vs. Miguel Cotto

The sport of boxing may only have a couple of mega stars, but whenever they’re in action the sports world always takes notice. Floyd “Money” Mayweather Jr. fought Miguel Cotto for the WBA Super Welterweight title in what turned out to be a compelling fight this Saturday night.

Despite Cotto being the champion, he was a massive underdog among casual fans and Vegas odds makers. Usually, whenever any fighter faces Mayweather, he is overmatched and often embarrassed by defensive boxing skills and technique. Surprisingly, Cotto was aggressive and was able to damage Mayweather. Many experts in chat rooms and Twitter had the fight close heading into the second half of the bout. But eventually supreme conditioning and counter punches carried Mayweather into victory. While the judges scorecard of (118-110, 117-111, 117-111) for Mayweather conveyed a lopsided win, Cotto seemed to have gained more fans and respect in defeat than any of his wins. If Cotto gets a couple of high profile wins, it wouldn't be out of the question to request a rematch or face Manny Pacquiao for the second time.

As for the now 43-0 (26 KO) Mayweather, his next opponent will be a jail cell as he serves time for misdemeanor domestic violence. Once he's done serving his 87-day sentence, the pressure of putting together the super fight between himself and Pacquiao should reach its boiling point. The potential matchup would be the biggest pay-per-view attraction in the history of the sport, but fans’ patience is starting to wear thin. If Pacquiao is dominant over Timothy Bradley, hopefully the wheels will start to go into motion for Pacquiao and Mayweather to finally collide.

UFC on Fox 3

It was a jam-packed weekend of sports, but lost in the shuffle was the Ultimate Fighting Championship on network television. While the card was lacking in star power, it tried to make up in exciting action. The main event featured Nate Diaz vs. Jim Miller to possibly determine the next challenger for the Lightweight title.

Before the fight, Miller had a slight edge among mixed martial arts experts, but when they squared off, Diaz used superior boxing to confuse and damage Miller. Then, in round two, Diaz used his signature Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to gain the guillotine choke and make Miller tap for the first time in his career. Ever since Diaz moved to Lightweight, he’s looked almost unstoppable by dominating Takanori Gomi and Donald Cerrone. Now Diaz has proved he's a worthy challenger for champion, Benson Henderson. Since Henderson will face Frankie Edgar in a rematch in August, Diaz would most likely take another bout to stay active rather than take a long break. Since older brother Nick Diaz is suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, Nate has gained all the attention and maybe has become a breakout star for the UFC. If Nate Diaz takes another fight and defeats Anthony Pettis, he will no doubt stand on his own as an elite fighter in MMA.

Dallas traded up to take cornerback Morris Claiborne with the sixth pick.

NFL Draft, Bulls lose Rose, Clippers shock the Grizzlies

By Justin Goodrum [ Mon Apr 30 2012 12:30 PM ]

NFL Draft Recap

While some football fans think the NFL Draft resembles the male version of “America's Next Top Model,” most cannot contain their excitement whenever they see the commissioner give his awkward handshake to the new recruits of the league.

The Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins took the suspense out of their first two picks in selecting Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III (respectively), but the draft still contained some surprises. Cleveland Browns General Manager Tom Heckert chose to overhaul the offense by selecting Alabama running back Trent Richardson and Oklahoma quarterback Brandon Weeden in the first round. Current Browns starting QB Colt McCoy showed some promise last season, but the Browns needed to make some power moves to make sure they’re no longer an afterthought. Another surprise was the Dallas Cowboys moving to sixth pick of the first round to select LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne. Even though the Cowboys had to give up 14th and 45th overall picks to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it was a necessary sacrifice to ensure Dallas improve its much-criticized defense.

As for the University of New Mexico, no Lobos were selected in the draft, but three defensive players have signed free-agent deals to play at the next level. Leading the pack is Carmen Messina, who shockingly wasn't selected but signed a contract with the improved Detroit Lions. All-Mountain West safety honorable mention Bubba Forrest was selected by the Cincinnati Bengals and defensive end Jaymar Latchison used Twitter to state he signed a contract with the Green Bay Packers.

NBA Playoffs

Chicago Bulls vs. Philadelphia Sixers

Everything was working perfectly for the Chicago Bulls in game one against the Philadelphia Sixers. The Bulls bench was performing well and the starters were showing why they were the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. Derrick Rose's triple double was almost in sight with 1:22 remaining in the fourth quarter. Then the unthinkable happen: Rose drove in the lane and tore his ACL. Pain and fear was written all over Rose's face as he was helped to the locker room. The Bulls went on to win game one, 103-91, but it seems their title hopes have all but disappeared. An 18-9 record without Derrick Rose in the regular season means Chicago has reacted well without their captain. Now its up to Joakim Noah, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Richard Hamilton to step up and prove the Bulls are still a serious threat to win the title.

Memphis Grizzlies vs. Los Angeles Clippers

It was a party in Memphis as the Grizzlies had a dominate 27-point lead in game one. With the Clippers down by 21 in the fourth, head coach Vinny Del Negro removed point guard Chris Paul from the game. But Paul pleaded with Del Negro for one more shot to at least gain a moral victory. Instead, Paul had seven assists and hit two clutch free throws to take a 99-98 lead with 23.7 seconds left. Rudy Gay had a chance to be the hero but missed a fade-away jumper to give the Clippers the stunning victory. Now Los Angeles has stolen home court and the momentum of the series. To make matters worse, rumors have now heated up regarding tension between Rudy Gay and Zach Randolph. The Grizzlies have tons of potential and have good fundamental skills to make a respectable run in the playoffs. But if they can't put a stop to their issues, the Clippers will embarrass the Grizz.

Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution

Source: via Michelle on Pinterest
For several years now Jamie Oliver (celebrity chef) has been campaigning, first in his native Great Britain, and now here in the US for improved school lunches (and breakfasts where provided.)
I was a hot lunch kid, I remember standing in line for my green tickets, not the yellow ones which were reserved for paying families, nope I was one of millions of children who eat subsidized school lunch every year. Sometimes it was the best or only meal I ate all day. So it follows that school cafeterias provide a substantial amount of food, whether it is nutritious or not to our nation's children. The children who are the future, our future as we age they will be the ones leading, maintaining our infrastructure, teaching and so on. Or not considering obesity and the related ailments are higher than ever in children in the United States. Click here to gain a better understanding of the school lunch program.
I grew up and had the good fortune to taste real food, fresh food from the earth. When I returned to the cafeteria with my own children I was appalled at what I had eaten (it was much the same, chop suey anyone?) and what was being offered my kids.
I joke that I'm a food snob, but I'm not, I just require  prefer to provide and consume wholesome food as close as possible to its natural state as the staples in my diet. Cookie butter on occasion, but after I know that I've had a few square meals under my belt. Food is meant to be fun and pleasurable, but out of the food eaten over the course of the week it is made up of mostly whole grains, greens, fresh veggies, fruit, nuts, seeds, beans with the occasional organic dairy item.
So what my kids, what our kids eat, is important to me so I just on board with Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution and you can too!
Click here for the site and to educate yourself, your school system and your community. You won't find any "Go-Go Juice" on this menu.
I encourage parents and people who care to work in your community to make it clear that what we eat matters and why and the positive impact it has, not only on our bodies and health, but on local agriculture, businesses and the future.
Bon Appetit,

  1. I am one of those 799,888. I joined up after I saw his Food Revolution in Huntington, WV (whew what a said situation things were there).

    1. Isn't it just crazy! I saw the one in California and was appalled, not only by the lack of food quality, but the resistance to change within the administration- talk about red tape! Thanks for reading Rachel. XO

Kobe Bryant Debuts Black Mamba Handshake

ALL BALL NERVE CENTER — Lakers G Kobe Bryant has been using the “Black Mamba” nickname for a few years now. So long, in fact, that this season he broke out a new one — “Vino,” reference to how he’s aging. But at this point, Kobe’s the Mamba to many of us, including Nike, who keep putting Mamba references into Kobe’s signature shoes.

Kobe’s been on a big tour of China for Nike the last few days, meeting fans and making appearances. Some fans have found themselves completely overwhelmed to meet Kobe, as people are crowding streets and climbing light posts just to get a peek at Kobe.

At a recent stop in Xi’an, Kobe was not only met by a raucous crowd, as you can see in the video below, but check out the handshake he debuts at the 53-second mark that ends with “Mamba” motion. Think we’ll see the Lake Show break this out this season?

(via NextImpulseSports)

  1. Nene says:

    In China He Should be called the “Black Sushi”.lol

  2. Blink143 says:

    Sounds like: “Yao Ming” “Yao Ming” “Yao Ming” hahaha

  3. Marvin Tyrone Anderson says:

    For a great one like KOBE!
    [Me coming from out of Overbrook high.
    The school WILT build..]
    Any player would love to play along side KOBE.Unfortunately the media and those players who was stupid enough to be convinced.KOBE is not a leader player.When the great one [SHAQ] departed from Lakers.KOBE won two NBA championships.The me concontinued the ignorance.The players continue to follow.

  4. Marvin Tyrone Anderson says:

    For those who don’t know.
    KOBE stats in NBA now and long before Wade,James,Duncan,Durant,Carmelo stats end.KOBE stats Will still be much more impressive and better then those guys when they retired.
    For sure!

  5. claims says:

    @Marvin Tyrone Anderson: actually your wrong bud. I think you should go look at lebron’s stats vs kobe’s and see how Lebron leads him in virtually EVERY SINGLE category except free throw pct.

  6. Kandall says:

    I am pretty sure as a Lakers fan that Kobe Bryant will come back even better and he will play with a sense of urgency considering that he has three years left in him despite the painful injury.

  7. devinn says:

    Kobe & WWE Santino should do a mamba / cobra handshake.

  8. Jimmy Buckets says:

    Kobe is done…he is all talk and all medical professionals are laughing at him right now…including his own people. His ego is so big he actually believes he is shattering recovery timetables. Truth be told walking is no accomplishment at this stage and the real test is driving of his foot which will not happen. Sorry Kobe fans. The bright side is LA can now move past this cancer that has plagued the team for years.

  9. drew says:

    Kobe, please don’t be globetrotting on that achilles. Heal that thing right.

  10. Sheldon says:

    What’s crackn peeps @imSheldon, No one cares what any of u think Kobe is live why u hating , other players are live too but trying to say any player in todays game is better than (kobe Bryant) in any type of way is a lie maybe in time later in there careers but not now

  11. Superman says:

    Well the problem with Lebron is that with his over extended muscle style of game, his performance will pick and drop much faster than Kobe’s performance, just like how fasr Oneil dropped from peak and retired. So for total career stats when both players are done Kobe’s totals will trump Lebron’s. Also Lebron’s 3 pointers are nowhere near Kobe’s.

  12. GUHAN24KB says:

    @claims B-ball is not just about stats. It’s about the intensity,determination,sacrifice & most importantly skills . Considering all this Kobe is a long way ahead of Lebron

  13. Sit Down says:

    I wonder how much more loved Kobe will be if he decides to become fluent in Chinese, these guys would prolly praise him as a God, I mean they just wait on every word he has to say, whether they understand it or not. But a black Italian guy speaking Chinese would seem weird/funny lol.

  14. What? says:

    What? funny how people forget the topic of the post as soon they start writing their comments. This article doesn’t write about Kobe injury/stats nor does it compare him with others. But just after few posts there is people shouting the same hatred or praising stuff about him that’s completely out of context. Looks like some just copy/paste the same comment in every article there is without even bothering to read through it.

  15. Smooth says:

    Beware Vino…. bet him Nash and Gasol got some tricks and with Kurt Rambis preaching defense dang running the 23 Zone Lock Down Paint dang that’s sick and mike d antoni offense they could be a good 3 point shooting team and rebounding and blocking b

  16. kido_buster says:

    It’s funny when the conversation always end up with a Lebron and Kobe or Jordan comparison..LOL..
    My hat’s off to Lebron’s fans for always depending him but they’re only way on depending their Leborn is by saying all about his “STATS!!!”..

    For me it always goes down to the purpose of the game, It’s always entertainment!! and whose more entertaining to watch? Lebron stiff jump shots or Kobe’s Fade away or MJ’s Fade away?..Who’s more entertaining? you’ll be the judges..

  17. Brian Scalabrine says:

    Kobe is gunna come back and win MVP!! I believe in you! You’re only what 34 35 years old, suffered a serious achilles injury, and on a below 500 team without a solid starting lineup!!! GO KOBE!!!

  18. This is without a doubt accomplished by means of raising leutenizing hormone, since Protodioscin has already been proven to boost it v3 diet pills cheap Man Scent is one of the best brands among real poppers, due primarily to its.

  • 1 bouquet garni

  • 6 prawns, peeled
  • salt and pepper to taste

Prep:10min  ›  Cook:30min  ›  Ready in:40min

  2. Add the rice to the pan. Stir and cook until coated in oil and slightly translucent. Add the saffron, red pepper and fresh garden peas.
  3. Add the white wine and reduce till liquid is almost entirely absorbed. Add half of the fish stock, reduce by half then add the rest. Once absorbed, add the cream and Parmesan.
  4. Put the prawns on a skewer, season with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Preheat the oven grill and cook in the oven for 3 minutes, turning once. Serve over the risotto.

Simple vegetable pakora

Simple vegetable pakora

2 people made this

About this recipe: Crisp golden potato and onion bites cooked with a selection of spices in a gram flour batter and then deep fried. This is the basic pakora recipe which is a great place to start. Remember to season to your taste with as much or as little spice as you like.

gill2979 Lanarkshire, Scotland, UK

Serves: 4

  • 450g potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1/2 onion, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 300g gram flour (chickpea flour)
  • salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
  • 2 tablespoons natural yoghurt
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh coriander
  • 200ml water, or as needed
  • vegetable oil for frying

Prep:15min  ›  Cook:15min  ›  Ready in:30min

  1. Put the potatoes and chopped onions in a large bowl. Add the garam masala, gram flour, salt, chilli powder and ground cumin. Mix well until the flour is distributed evenly and a rough paste is formed.
  2. Add the tomato ketchup, yoghurt and coriander and mix well again.
  3. Now slowly add the water until the mixture just holds its consistency when dripping off the back of the spoon.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy, deep saucepan. To judge whether the oil is hot enough, put a cube of bread in and, if it rises to the surface immediately, the oil is ready.
  5. Cook the pakoras in batches by dropping one tablespoon of the mixture at a time into the hot oil. When the pakoras bob up to the surface, push them down gently with slotted spoon. Deep fry until a dark golden brown. Remove from oil and drain on kitchen paper. Repeat with remaining batter.
