The Blizzard.

Saturday morning I woke up to the sound of TC outside screaming at Maple to come back. Mother Nature was unleashing her fury in the form of a blizzard and the black dog decided this was an opportune time to take off down the street and dig in the neighbor's garbage.

Twenty minutes later, at the miserably early hour of eight o'clock, a third beast came running into the house. It was Thor. Serge was dropping him off to hang out with me for the day so he and TC could take off to the ski slopes.

Playing outside in a blizzard is not my idea of a good time so I volunteered to make myself pancakes, sit on the couch all day and hang out with the dogs.

By the way, thank you Jodi Picoult for writing totally engrossing novels that I can't put down no matter how hard I try.

Within five minutes of coming in, Thor decided to mark his territory and pee on the dog bed.

Once I made the pancakes and Thor felt it his duty to lick all the dirty dished clean while they were still in the sink. I didn't witness it myself, but when I left the kitchen the dishes were neatly piled. When I came back, they were a mess.

About a month ago Thor turned Serge's guest bedroom into a scene that you only see in the movies. He created his own blizzard of down feathers after eating the comforter as a snack. Two weeks ago he ate Serge's leather couch for breakfast. Yesterday he ate TC's favorite hat for lunch.

The storm was the worst I've ever lived through. The only comparison I can think of would be the hurricane when I lived down in Florida. The winds were unbelievable and the snowflakes were flying in psychotic circles, never seeming to touch the ground. Huge drifts were piling around the yard, but oddly the driveway remained clear.

To take the dogs outside I had to bundle up in full winter gear. Snow pants, boots, gloves and my parka completely zipped up to my nose with my furry hood pulled tight.

It was horrible outside. Snow was whipping me in the face and my boots were sliding through the snow.

For the second time, Maple decided to take a trip down the street. I ran down the driveway after her only to find a huge drift of snow at the end. I know it was waist deep because I couldn't walk through it. As I watched Maple dig into the trash, I tried to climb over the drift. The snow kept giving way and eventually I ended up sliding face first down the pile until my lower half was completely buried.

If anyone wants a dog, she's free to a good home.

The blizzard raged on all day, never letting up. There were points in the day where my neighbor's houses seemed to vanish.

The tree branches were scraping against the windows but still the snow piled up the panes.

I was beginning to worry about TC and Serge driving in this weather. As far as I could tell, not a single car had driven down our street all day, and yet the two ski bunnies were all the way in Nova Scotia getting their adrenaline fix.

Then a text came that said they were on their way back home. Even better, Serge was going to bring his tractor over once they were back.

Have you ever seen a snow blower on a big tractor? It's magical. It effortlessly sucks up snow that is three feet deep and shoots it way up into the air, far far away.

As helpful as the tractor was, TC still had a lot of work to do this morning. Somewhere, we knew, there were three cars buried in the driveway.

And while I thanked my lucky stars that they were safe on the slopes and road yesterday, I was even more thankful that he didn't ask me to help clear the snow this morning.

  1. And this is why I told Will our wedding is off if he even thinks of moving me to a location where is snows on a regular basis in the winter.

    And I love the second pic of Maple with her stick! She looks crazy!

  2. as i thanked my own blessed superstars that they are safe on the ski slopes as well as street yesterday, I had been a lot more thankful he didn't request me to assist clear the snowfall today.

Plum & Cinnamon Crumble

In the summer my Grandpa's plum tree would be heavy with the weight of ripe juicy plums. Many were eaten right from the tree, ruby red juice staining our chins and clothes. There were too many to eat out of hand, so Mom would make plum jelly, and lots of pies, crumbles, and cobblers, until we exhausted the lot.

Many summers the plums were sweeter than others, but we loved them regardless, except for that one summer.  That summer the plums were almost inedible. We found them sour and dry and none of the usual recipes made them any better. Not one to waste, my mom decided to try her hand at making plum wine.

I vaguely remember the  "wine making" process. I know there was a barrel and some tools down in our basement and mom had to go down and attend to it daily, or so it seemed. Mostly what I remember about the summer of plum wine was the EPIC, and I do mean EPIC, party my parents had when the wine was ready.  In their defense, it was another time, parenting in the early 80's was much different, and definitely not politically correct, as it is today. The only way I can explain the nature of this plum wine party is to say that it rivaled, or even surpassed, any college frat party. In fact, for years my parent's friends talked about that party and begged Mom to make more plum wine, but Mom always smiled and said, "never again".
Like Mom's plum wine, this Plum & Cinnamon Crumble is also epic, but much easier to make and enjoy! The plums offer a wonderful balance of sweet and tart, the addition of cinnamon is subtle, and the filling-to-crumble ratio is just right, not too much of one or the other. It's absolutely incredible with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. One of the best things I've made in awhile. I urge you to buy some ripe juicy plums and try it for yourself!

Plum & Cinnamon Crumble
Adapted from Relaxed Cooking
by Curtis Stone
Serves 6

2 pounds plums (roughly 13), halved, pitted, each cut into 6 wedges
1/3 cup sugar*
2 cinnamon sticks

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup old fashioned or rolled oats
8 tablespoons (1 stick) cold butter, cut into pieces
3/4 cup sliced almonds, coarsely chopped

Vanilla ice cream, for serving

Note: Adjust sugar depending on your fruit and taste. If fully ripe, you may not need the full 1/3 cup. If not ripe enough, then you may need more. Mix in sugar, taste, and adjust to your liking. This recipe, with ripe plums, is definitely written to be sweet- but we like it that way, so we think it's perfect!

Preheat the oven to 350F. To make the filling: Toss the plums, sugar, and cinnamon sticks in an 8-inch square baking dish (or similar vessel). Arrange the mixture evenly in the dish, tucking the cinnamon sticks beneath the plums.

To make the topping: Mix the flour, sugar, and oats in a medium bowl to blend. Using your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until moist clumps form.  Mix in the almonds. Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the plum mixture.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until the juices are bubbling, the fruit is tender, and the topping is golden brown. Allow the crumble to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.

Spoon the crumble into bowls, discarding the cinnamon sticks, and serve with vanilla ice cream.

New Orleans Barbecued Shrimp with Amber Ale

New Orleans "Barbecued" Shrimp has been on my to-do list for years. Why years? Solely because I was being extremely stubborn about the shrimp I used.  I wanted to make the real deal New Orleans Barbecued Shrimp and for that I needed whole shrimp, head and all.

Once I'm fixed on an idea I will rarely concede. I searched high and low for years looking for whole shrimp.  I went to every market in a 60 mile radius. I saw all kinds of shrimp, every size imaginable, but they were all headless. Why oh why couldn't I find shrimp with the heads on? Eventually I got frustrated and gave up the search. If I couldn't find whole shrimp then I simply couldn't be bothered to make it.

Then I got to thinking...why am I am being such a brat about shrimp with heads anyway? It's not like I'm really going to eat the head, or suck it, or anything like that. So I gave up the search, just like that, and I finally made New Orleans Barbecued Shrimp and you know what? Turns out it doesn't matter if the shrimp has a head or not! It was worth the wait!

Tender shrimp in a buttery hot sauce with a hint of lemon and loads of fresh herbs. Pop a shrimp in your mouth and grab some bread to sop up that yummy sauce. No need to be polite about it. It's finger lickin' good!

N'awlins Barbecued Shrimp with Amber Ale
Recipe Adapted from Curtis Stone website
Serves 2-4

2 pounds extra-large shrimp in the shell*
1 tablespoons olive oil
5 tablespoons butter
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup amber ale
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce, such as Crystal or Tabasco
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Sliced French bread, warmed or lightly toasted

*Note: If you're lucky enough to buy the whole shrimp then that is awesome, but regular old shelled and devined shrimp works just fine.

Using a small sharp knife, cut down the back of each shrimp just deep enough to expose the dark vein. Devein the shrimp under cold running water, leaving the shells intact.

Heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, then add 2 tablespoons of the butter and swirl to melt it. Add the garlic, sprinkle with the cayenne pepper, and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook for about 1 minute, or just until the garlic is tender. Add the shrimp and toss to coat well with the butter mixture. Add the ale, lemon juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce and simmer for about 2 minutes, or until the shrimp are almost cooked through, turning the shrimp after 1 minute.

Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter, the parsley, oregano, thyme, and rosemary and simmer gently for about 1 minute, or until the butter melts and the shrimp are just cooked through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Transfer the shrimp and sauce to four wide shallow bowls. Serve with the bread to sop up the sauce.

Donna Hay's Smashed Avocado Toast w/ Hard Boiled Egg

I work in a special needs room at a local elementary school and I absolutely love it. My favorite part is that we get to teach practical life skills: cooking, crafting, hygiene, shopping, and social skills, all with the hope that the kids can be as independent as possible. I love to watch the kids' faces when they learn these new skills, but it is even more rewarding to watch them master these skills and see their confidence grow over time.

All of these skills are fun to practice, but of course I favor the days we cook. Not every student is capable of doing some of the skills we practice, but I feel like cooking is something everyone can experience in one way or another. Cooking is such a sensory experience and even if you can't see, then you can still feel the food, touch the food, hear it cooking, smell it and definitely taste it, and so on. So while we have several students who are impaired in different ways, there is usually something they can experience while cooking.

During the last few weeks of school our Spanish translator came into the room and made a Mexican feast. The kids made guacamole in her molcajete. They also made homemade corn tortillas from maseca and learned how to cook them on a comal. We cut veggies for salsa and also made a steak filling for tacos. It was a very special day. The kids were beaming, the food was delicious, and everyone learned something, including me.

The guacamole was something that everyone could participate in, more so than any other dish we created up to that point. The avocados were soft, and easy for the kids to chop and mash, and of course their pretty green color was a hit. The guacamole, because of it's soft nature, was also something everyone could eat, and for that we were thankful.  We had such a special time making and eating the guacamole that we even decided to buy the teacher in our room a mortar and pestle, as well as the ingredients to make her own guacamole, as a special end of the year gift. Now guacamole is present at every get together we have. It's our signature dish that holds special meaning.

Since that day I've been buying avocados and eating them with everything: on sandwiches, on toast, in guacamole, chopped up in a salad, and so on. Not only are they good for you, but they just make me smile!

This Smashed Avocado Toast with Hard Boiled Egg is an easy and quick recipe that is perfect for the hot summer mornings we've been having. Satisfying enough, but also light enough, so as not to weigh you down. I love the sprinkling of seeds and the refreshing pop from the mint and squeeze of lime. Perfect for enjoying before heading to the pool!

Smashed Avocado Toast with Hard Boiled Egg
Recipe Adapted from Donna Hay Website
Serves 2-4

4 eggs
 4 slices of wholemeal bread, toasted
1 avocado, mashed
1 teaspoon white chia seeds
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
salt and black pepper, to taste
mint springs, to serve
lime wedges, to serve

Place the eggs in a saucepan of boiling water and cook for 7 minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water. Peel, slice in half and set aside.

Place the toast on plates and top each slice with the avocado and egg. Place the chia seeds, sesame seeds, cumin seeds, salt and pepper in a small bowl and mix to combine.

Sprinkle the seed mixture and mint over the avocado and serve with lime wedges.

Orzo Salad with Basil Vinaigrette

Gardening isn't my forte, but I manage a very small herb garden. One thing I can count on every spring is the return of my chives, and of course my mint. Once those start to sprout I always run out and grab a few basil plants. Basil seems to do well all on it's own, with very little attention. It is so nice being able to clip them whenever I'm in need and I always enjoy having them on hand in the spring and summer.

This Orzo Salad with Basil Vinaigrette was a perfect way to use up some of that fresh basil and chives from my garden.  A lovely salad of orzo, juicy grape tomatoes, spinach, toasty pine nuts, salty goat cheese, in a fresh herby vinaigrette...yum! Perfect and light for summer!

I've made a couple versions of this salad and I do have to say that I like this one best! The ratios just seem to be spot on and the salad kept very well. I can see myself making several times throughout the summer. It's absolutely lovely to have on hand and eats well on it's own, or as a side.

Orzo Salad with Basil Vinaigrette
Adapted from Curtis Stone Website
Serves 6-8

1-1/2 cups orzo pasta
3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves
12 grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
2 tablespoons thinly sliced parsley
1/2 cup coarsely crumbled feta cheese
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Basil Vinaigrette
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 shallot, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
salt and pepper, to taste

 Fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring to a boil.  Add the orzo and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente (7-8 minutes, usually).

While the pasta is cooking get the rest of your salad together. In a large salad bowl add the chopped shallot, chopped garlic, and sliced basil. Stir in the red wine vinegar, then slowly whisk in the olive oil until completely blended. Season the dressing with salt and pepper, to taste.

When the pasta is finished cooking, drain and set aside to cool slightly. Add the tomatoes, spinach, pine nuts, feta cheese, and herbs to the dressing.  Toss to combine. When the pasta is slightly cooled go ahead and add it to the salad, tossing until combined.  Serve warm or cold. Salad can be refrigerated and held in the fridge for 2-3 days.

What Takes Place During The Liposuction Procedure By Adam Rise

If you're thinking that liposuction is a great way to lose weight, forget about it. Liposuction isn't about weight loss at all. He will ask about your surgical goals and explain the procedure and the routine post-operative healing process. Since liposuction is designed specifically to target fatty tissue, it will not significantly improve the appearance of loose skin. In some cases, liposuction of the chin, neck, and jowls, as well as other facial liposuction procedures, can have better results in these problem areas than other surgical techniques.

For these patients, liposuction is the only treatment that will permanently eliminate unsightly bulges on the thighs, hips, waistline or abdomen. Treatment of large areas with this technique also appears to be cumbersome, and most surgeons have limited its use to small anatomic areas such as the neck.

Liposuction can be performed using general or sedation anesthesia, although most patients prefer to have their lipo procedure done under general anesthesia. There are non-surgical liposuction alternatives available to patients who are not good candidates for liposuction or simply prefer other methods.

Liposuction begins by receiving general anesthesia to put you to sleep and stop you from feeling pain. Discuss your optimal choices and place your belief within the expertise with the experts with lip injections and cosmetic surgery procedures for facial filling.

For this reason, liposuction is generally only recommended if your skin elasticity is good enough to allow any excess skin to realign itself to the new contours by natural means. The incisions are often left open to promote drainage, as it arguably leads to faster swelling reduction and overall healing.

Vaser Liposuction is gentle enough to be performed with website local anaesthetic under light sedation. A new form of liposuction, Ultrasound-assisted liposuction (UAL), uses ultrasonic vibrations to liquefy fat cells. Since liposuction aims to remove accumulated fats under your skin, the best candidates for this procedure are those with flabby areas in their body such as neck, thighs, arms, and abdomen.

Loss of skin elasticity with age can compromise liposuction results, but if your skin maintains elasticity, age alone is not a contraindication for liposuction surgery. However, these complications are extremely rare in tumescent liposuction and the safety of tumescent liposuction has been well documented in literature.

We are proud to provide our patients with the advantages of VASER® liposuction, and of the smoother, better results that the process offers. Precision: It is able to deliver more precise body contouring than traditional liposuction where both small and large volumes of fat can be extracted from different areas of the body.

À bout de soufle

I've known his sister for five days and I already hate her passionately. She's the sort of person that lives by a manual, thinking it will somehow help her escape her anxieties, hoping that nothing will go wrong when everything already has. She listens to Bruno Mars, pretends to be religious and wears beige in an endless variety of shades.

Henry takes me to dinner at La Coupole in Montparnasse, orders too many oysters and addresses the waiters in a surrealistically cinematic version of Belle Époque French. It all makes perfect sense. He goes down on me in his bed just after midnight but my focus is on his copy of The Great Gatsby, placed alone like a monument on the night stand table. I have a feeling this is not going to end well.

Mysterious Questions In The World

Mysterious question on the Silkroad: Silk

Mysterious question on the Silkroad
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　July, 2013 Mystery Hunter
I attended to a pack-tour arranged by a Japanese Travel Company to Uyghur in deep China this June.

It was really wonderful traveling in the region and visiting Urumqi, Turfan, Dunhuang and Xi'an. The members who visited with were 18 Japanese including a young female companion from the travel company. We traveled together on a plane, on a train and usually on a bus through the Uyghur Autonomous District. It was very impressive driving through the Gobi desert on bus for me and maybe for every other member.

In the members was an unique and interesting man, Mr. K who attended the tour with his wife. He is in 70s, 7 or 8 years older than me. On the other hand, I was single there as my wife did not come with me. She hates foreign countries especially China because the food there is very dangerous according to her opinion. I agree with her about food in China but it is also true that the food in Japan is not always safe!

It was very astonishing to know that Mr. K was a descendant of XuFu who lived in approx. 200 BC in Qin Dynasty reigned by First Emperor: Qin Shi Huang!
According to Wikipedia, Xu Fu (Hsu Fu; pinyin: Xú Fú) was born in 255 BC in Qi, and served as a court sorcerer in Qin Dynasty China. He was sent by Qin Shi Huang to the eastern seas twice to look for the elixir of life. His two journeys occurred between 219 BC and 210 BC. It was believed that the fleet included 60 barques and around 5,000 crew members, 3,000 boys and girls, and craftsmen of different fields. After he embarked on a second mission in 210 BC, he never returned. Various records suggest that he may have arrived and died in Japan.

So, what did Mr. K say on the plane? He is a descendant of XuFu?!
According to him, there are several groups all over Japan that consist of the descendants of XuFu!!
Believe or not, he Is a descendant of XuFu and he attends annual meetings held in China by many Chinese descendants of XuFu in China! He says every time he visits China for the meeting, he gets books if they are concerned with ‘Three Countries’ that is famous and popular in Chinese history. He added that it is not easy to get books about 'Three Countries' written in Chinese in Japan. According to him, even if he could find out the books in Japan, they are always very expensive comparing to the price in China. In addition, there are not so many kinds of books about 'Three Countries' in Chinese in Japan.

We were on the bus in the Gobi desert when Mr. K came to my seat on the rear of the bus. He and I were a sort of 'good friends' as both of us love the Chinese history and the Silkroad.

We talked about our favorites concerning our tour especially about the Silkroad.
As everybody knows, the Silkroad is famous about silk trade. The road is very popular to Japanese by one reason that the road goes through vast desert such as Gobi and Taklamakan that are too vast for Japanese to imagine the size. The other is that Japanese culture has its origin in Xi’an that was one of the terminals of the road. Another terminal was Rome.
Moreover, the word ‘silk’ sounds romantic and also exotic for many Japanese.

While talking on the rear seat in the bus, Mr. K suddenly asked me his mysterious question:
By the way, the silk traveled from China to Rome, right? Then what traveled from Rome to Xi’an for the silk?

It sounded like a very easy question to answer at first hearing. It must be gold or silver.
But wait! It is a too easy idea to spesify gold or silver as the answer. They may not be answers. Maybe a glass statue was used to buy silk in Rome and carried all the way back to Xi’an. The glass sounds more romantic than gold or silver.

No! Maybe not. There must be other thing that was used in Rome for silk and carried back to Xi’an. But what is it?
I asked Mr. Wang, a Chinese guide of our tour. He said “Maybe gold or silver.” as I have estimated. I said “How about glass?.” He said “Maybe so. Oh, maybe an elephant, or an entertainers’ team.!”

Every answer looked not correct! They have no evidence that they were once used in Rome for the silk and carried back to Xi’an.
What was it that was used in Rome for silk and carried back to Xi’an???

Knowledge and Intent as Magical Qualities of Words

"The power of words lies not in their surface meaning but in qualities hidden from view. Every word, for example, enfolds both knowledge and intent. Both of these are magical qualities. The magic of knowledge is that many layers of experience—in fact, an entire history—can be packaged in a few syllables. . . . All the richest words in the language open hidden passages of meaning and knowledge. But the second quality of words, intention, is even more powerful." —Deepak Chopra, The Way of the Wizard

Steven Pinker on language and thought 03

Part Three
  • Now, many events can be subject to either construal, kind of like the classic figure-ground reversal illusions, in which you can either pay attention to a particular object, in which case the space around it recedes from attention, or you can see the faces in the empty space, in which case the object recedes out of consciousness.
    • How are these construals reflected in language?
    • Well, in both cases, the thing that is construed as being affected is expressed as the direct object:
      • the noun after the verb.
    • So when you think of the event as causing the muffin to go somewhere—
      • where you're doing something to the muffin—
        • you say, "Give the muffin to the mouse."
    • When you construe it as, "cause the mouse to have something,"
      • you're doing something to the mouse,
        • and therefore, you express it as "Give the mouse the muffin."
  • So which verbs go in which construction—the original problem with which I began—depends on whether the verb specifies a kind of motion or a kind of possession change.
    • To give something involves both causing something to go and causing someone to have.
    • To drive the car only causes something to go,
      • because Chicago's not the kind of thing that can possess something.
    • Only humans can possess things.
    • And to give someone a headache causes them to have the headache,
      • but it's not as if you're taking the headache out of your head and causing it to go to the other person,
        • and then plan to get it in their head.
    • You may just be loud or obnoxious, or in some other way causing them to have the headache.
    • So, that's an example of the kind of thing that I do in my day job.

Hack a Day modder builds a custom controller for disabled gamers

Sure, when tinkerer Caleb Kraft found out that pressure switches marketed at the disabled were massively overpriced, he got mad like anybody else. But then he decided to get even the best way he knew how: by building his own, and posting the plans for all to follow on Hack a Day for free. The project came about via a kid with muscular dystrophy named Thomas, who enjoyed Minecraft but may eventually lose the ability to hold a controller or use a mouse and keyboard.

Good News & A Kiss

I've just returned from the fantastic Australian Romance Readers Convention in Sydney, Australia. I had a wonderful time. It was awesome to meet so many of you. :-)

I'm very happy to share that Bonds of Justice won the award for Favorite Paranormal Romance, and Archangel's Kiss for the Favorite SF, Futuristic or Urban Fantasy Romance. The Psy/Changeling series won the award for the Favorite Continuing Romance Series!

Photos to come when I've had a chance to download them. Today, I have the Kiss of Snow excerpt I promised as part of my DABWAHA campaign. Archangel's Kiss is now one of the final four books remaining. Thanks for the support everyone and I hope you're having fun playing!

Enjoy the excerpt!

Excerpt from KISS OF SNOW by Nalini Singh
Berkley Sensation - May 31st

“Again, none of your business.” Refusing to be intimidated, she glanced over his shoulder. “Excuse me, my ride’s here.”

Hawke stepped sideways to block her. “No.”

Her body threatened to lock her into place, so strong was the impact of him. Only her fury kept her going. “Move.”

Ignoring her command, he continued to hold her gaze with that wild wolf one even as he directed his next words to Judd, who’d just hopped out of the SUV. “Where are you taking her?”

“We were heading down to see Sascha, but I’ve just had a contact I need to chase up fast.” Judd looked at Sienna. “Okay if we delay this till tomorrow?”

“No need.” Hawke smiled and held his hand back for the keys. “I can drive her to the cats.”

Sienna stared at Judd, sending him telepathic messages that seemed to go unheard. “No, that’s fine,” she said out loud. “I can wai—”

But Judd was already handing Hawke the keys. “Better you go down tonight,” he said. “Since the visit’s been cleared with Sascha’s security.”

“I can drive,” she pointed out through gritted teeth to the wolf blocking her way. “Judd was only coming with me because he wanted to take part in the discussion.” She held out a hand. “I don’t need a babysitter.”

To her shock, it was Judd who stopped her escape attempt. “It’s late. You’ve never driven this route in the dark—and it’ll be darker still by the time you head back.”

What is wrong with you?! she telepathed. I cannot be in a car alone with him. Especially when those ice-blue eyes had gone slightly aglow.

Deal with it. It was a pitiless response. If you need that to be an order from a lieutenant, then consider it done.

She clenched her jaw, but no way in hell was she about to disobey an order and bring her maturity into question yet again. So either she allowed Hawke to drive, or she stayed put. It was tempting to seize the latter option, but not only did she want to see Sascha, she would not give Hawke the satisfaction of knowing he’d derailed her plans. “I’ll wait in the car.”

She was ensconced in the passenger seat, her wireless speaker buds in her ears, by the time Hawke finished talking with Judd and got into the driver’s seat. He didn’t say anything until he’d turned the SUV around and they were on their way. Then he leaned over and pulled out the bud on his side.

But he’d managed to grab the tiny music player from her lap, too, throwing it over his shoulder into the backseat. “I don’t like being ignored.”

Archangel's Blade

I've turned in Archangel's Blade! I loved seeing beneath the surface of Dmitri, dark, dangerous creature that he is, and learning about the (fascinating) woman strong enough to take him on. I can't wait to share their story with you all!

For now, here's the backcover blurb! Excerpt to come a little later.

September 2011
Berkley Sensation

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh is back in the shadows of a deadly, beautiful world where angels rule, vampires serve, and one female hunter must crawl out of the darkness to survive…

The severed head marked by a distinctive tattoo on its cheek should have been a Guild case, but dark instincts honed over hundreds of years of life compel the vampire Dmitri to take control. There is something twisted about this death, something that whispers of centuries long past…but Dmitri’s need to discover the truth is nothing to the vicious strength of his response to the hunter assigned to decipher the tattoo.

Savaged in a brutal attack that almost killed her, Honor is nowhere near ready to come face to face with the seductive vampire who is an archangel’s right hand, and who wears his cruelty as boldly as his lethal sensuality…the same vampire who has been her secret obsession since the day she was old enough to understand the inexplicable, violent emotions he aroused in her.

As desire turns into a dangerous compulsion that might destroy them both, it becomes clear the past will not stay buried. Something is hunting…and it will not stop until it brings a blood-soaked nightmare to life once more…

I want to mention Julie James' A Lot Like Love, which has just been released. I was lucky enough to read it early, and absolutely loved it! Julie writes the most wonderful characters. If you like contemporary romance, definitely check this one out.

Here's the blurb. You can read an excerpt on Julie's website.
The FBI wants her cooperation.

As the daughter of a billionaire and the owner of the city’s top wine store, Jordan Rhodes is invited to the most exclusive parties in Chicago. But there’s only one party the FBI wants to crash: the charity fundraiser of a famous restaurateur, who also happens to launder money for the mob. In exchange for her brother’s release from prison, Jordan is going to be there—with a date supplied by the Bureau.

Agent McCall just wants her.

As the top undercover agent in Chicago, Nick McCall has one rule: never get personal. This “date” with Jordan Rhodes is merely an assignment—one they’re both determined to pull off even if they can’t be together for five minutes before the sarcasm and sparks begin to fly. But when Nick’s investigation is compromised, he and Jordan have no choice but to pretend they’re a couple, and what starts out as a simple assignment begins to feel a lot like something more. .
Okay, your turn! What are you reading and loving this week?

“Wild Ghana?” Anas, Joy FM, Multi TV Rape 52 Women twice, hurray!!!

I used to have respect for Anas Aremeyaw Anas. It is sad he has become a rapist. Most Ghanaian media houses, particularly the Twi speaking stations make a circus of rape cases. Size of the penis, intensity of hump, nature of moans, everything else matters more than the story itself; that a human being has been abused and thus needs support and justice. We choose sensationalism over duty, but somehow in my Wild dreams I expected a little more from Joy FM and Multi TV.

If a bottle of poison is left on a table unlabeled and I know it is poison though I didn’t put it there, then I watch on as a young man pick up the bottle and drink its content, I killed the man. I am a killer.

How can anyone watch over 52 women get raped and wait to be called a hero some three months later? How come one woman was not enough to have Anas jump in and kick the ass of that monster of a Doctor? Why did we need 51 more women to be captured on camera to get us (interested?) excited?

Dear Anas, you have become a huge monster like the Rapist. Over 52 women? And you just watched? You wanted a big story, didn’t you? Oh but do you think 52 is big enough? Why didn’t we wait till we got to a thousand women? That would have been biiiiig! I hope you are happy now that some irresponsible media houses like Joy FM and Multi TV as well as some idle Ghanaians are calling your condoning act a “Must Watch.” Congratulations.

“Wild Ghana?” I agree! We are so recklessly wild that an award winning investigative journalist forgets the need to fight for justice, protect the vulnerable, and inform the people who trust him in a timely manner without needless sensationalism.

We are so effing wild that a reputable media house like Joy FM, would put such a shitty story on their website:

Ghana is soooo god damn wild that we wait to watch one man rape over 52 women, before he pulls their babies out of them and then talk about it casually like a soccer game.

We are wild! We want to see blood! Woman blood! 52 and more!

We forget that an abortion is a private affair and one who decides to go through with it needs medical and emotional support and not such exposure to Wild Ghana’s need for a blockbuster series.

The abused Women do not need an audience, they don’t need our dear Wild Ghana to sit behind screens and discuss their ordeal with judgmental tongues.

Joy FM, Multi TV, Anas, since we want to go wild and we don’t understand civility, good judgment, justice and privacy anymore; I say go fuck yourselves at the Freedom and Justice Arch.

What keeps music fresh? Not ideas. Not interpretation.

If the ear of the player is engaged repetition is impossible. Live sound comprises too many variables. Very young children are fascinated by them. It's too bad that they so easily get obscured by drilling and other mindless repetition.

All that is achieved by drilling and mindless repetition is the reduction of parental anxiety.

Is your child developing in conformity with other children the same age?
Are you getting your money's worth?

National Juneteenth Observance Foundation
                         Celebration of Freedom

Kentucky recognizes Juneteenth as a State Holiday or State Holiday Observance through a Bill, House Resolution, Senate Resolution or Joint Resolution

Rep. Reginald Meeks - (*contact Kentucky Juneteenth State Director,
   Dr. Lundeana Thomas - 502-852-7682)(passed 2005)

AN ACT relating to establishing Juneteenth National Freedom Day in Kentucky.

WHEREAS, most citizens believe that the issuing of the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863 legally ended slavery; however, the proclamation only applied to states which seceded from the Union and did not apply to Kentucky; and

WHEREAS, by the time the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified in December, 1865, only nine states, Kentucky among them, still clung to the institution of slavery even though in 1833 Kentucky passed legislation prohibiting the importation of African slaves into the state for resale south; and

WHEREAS, some slaves in Kentucky won freedom by joining the army when President Lincoln declared that any slave joining the Union Army would be given freedom; and

WHEREAS, the Civil War ended in April, 1865, but bondage did not end for approximately 225,000 Kentucky slaves until the Thirteenth Amendment was ratified December 18, 1865; and

WHEREAS, each state has its own story as to when the slaves were notified of their freedom: July 4th in New York, September 22nd in Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, and May 8th in Mississippi; and

WHEREAS, Juneteenth, or June 19, 1865, is considered the date when the last slaves in America were freed by General Gordon Granger, who arrived in Galveston, Texas and issued General Order Number Three, almost two and one-half years after President Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation; and

WHEREAS, Kentucky overwhelmingly rejected the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment but finally went on record against slavery in 1976; and

WHEREAS, President Harry S. Truman signed a bill in 1948 proclaiming February 1 "National Freedom Day" in honor of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation, a first step in nationally commemorating the freeing of slaves and freedom for all; and

WHEREAS, for more than one hundred thirty-seven (137) years, "Juneteenth National Freedom Day" continues to be the most recognized African-American holiday observance and is also known as "Emancipation Day," "Emancipation Celebration," "Freedom Day," "Jun-Jun," "Juneteenth Independence Day," and "Juneteenth"; and

WHEREAS, "Juneteenth National Freedom Day" commemorates the survival, due to God-given strength and determination, of African-Americans through extreme adversity, hardship, and triumph; and

WHEREAS, Americans of all colors, creeds, cultures, religions, and countries of origin, share in a common love of and respect for freedom, as well as the determination to protect their right to freedom through the democratic institutions by which the tenets of freedom are guaranteed and protected; and

WHEREAS, the nineteenth of June, along with the fourth of July, completes the cycle of freedom for Americans' Independence Day observance; and

WHEREAS, "Emancipation Day" is celebrated locally in Kentucky in cities such as Allenville on August 8, Bowling Green on June 12, and Covington on September 22; and

WHEREAS, Kentucky will join states such as Texas, Idaho, California, Florida, Delaware, and many others in enacting legislation to officially recognize "Juneteenth National Freedom Day";

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Kentucky:

The nineteenth of June each year shall be observed in Kentucky as "Juneteenth National Freedom Day."

The Governor shall proclaim June 19 of each year as "Juneteenth National Freedom Day" and will encourage all Kentuckians celebrating this day to honor and reflect on the significant roles that African-Americans have played in the history of the United States.

Former NFL head coach Jon Gruden praises Argos coach Marc Trestman

TORONTO — Jon Gruden is one reason why Marc Trestman is still a football coach.

Trestman, in his first season as the Toronto Argonauts head coach, credits the former Super Bowl-winning head coach with re-energizing his passion for the game back when he wasn’t sure if he wanted to continue. Gruden, now a commentator on Monday Night Football, heaps lavish praise upon Trestman in a video on the CFL club’s website.

“Jon and I ran into each other in the early 90s when I was out of football,” Trestman recalled after Wednesday’s practice. “We saw each other at the Senior Bowl, where I happened to be at in another capacity and he asked me why I wasn’t coaching anymore.

“That discussion led to kind of a yearly get-together of just talking football. We kind of vowed to each other that there’d come a time when one of us would be out of work and the other guy would help him.”

That happened prior to the 2001 season when Trestman joined Gruden’s coaching staff with the Oakland Raiders. Trestman spent three seasons there although just one with Gruden, who left to become the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ head coach.

Trestman was promoted to offensive co-ordinator in ’02 and Oakland led the NFL in total offence (389.8 yards per game) and passing (279.7 per game). As well, quarterback Rich Gannon was named the league MVP.

The Raiders advanced to the Super Bowl against Tampa Bay. Gruden’s squad emerged victorious 48-21 but Trestman has never forgotten Gruden remaining true to his word.

“He found a place for me and not only gave me a job but really reinstilled my passion for the game because of the type of person and coach that he is,” Trestman said. “He really allowed me to understand I loved football and for all the right reasons.

“And he gave me an opportunity and it’s something I’ve never forgotten. I appreciate him as a friend and mentor throughout the years.”

Gruden remains a big fan of Trestman’s.

“He benefited not only our team, the Oakland Raiders, but he benefited me tremendously,” Gruden said in the video. “I learned a lot about football from coach Trestman.

“Wherever he goes, he can adapt his system to help the quarterback flourish. He did it to (Seattle Seahawk) Russell Wilson at NC State, he did great things with (Josh) McCown in Chicago and I bet Ricky Ray has a lot of fun playing in this system when he gets it going.”

Trestman said he hasn’t seen the Gruden video but was told about it by one of his daughters. And while Trestman counts Gruden as a friend, he said the fiery former coach comes by his nickname “Chucky” honestly.

Gruden received the moniker for his intense facial expressions on the sidelines, which resemble the fictional character in the movie “Child’s Play.”

“He’s extremely brilliant, he has the ability to see things from a lot of different perspectives,” Trestman said. “But he’s uniquely passionate about the game, no doubt about it.”

Trestman isn’t surprised Gruden has made a seamless transition from the sidelines to the broadcast booth.

“I think whatever he wanted to do he’d be great at,” Trestman said. “If it involves football he’s going to be great at it because no one loves football any more than he does.”

Trestman’s first CFL head-coaching job was in Montreal. There, he and quarterback Anthony Calvillo combined to lead the Alouettes to three Grey Cup berths — and two wins — from 2008-12.

But Gruden said there’s more to Trestman than just Xs and Os.

“It’s his intelligence, his communication and his work ethic, his sincerity as a person,” Gruden said. “He cares about people.

“I think that sets him apart. That’s why he was successful in Montreal, that’s why he’s been successful and been able to sustain a long time. It’s a big reason why he’ll be successful in Toronto, you watch.”

Organizing Pan Lids

I have been trying to figure out a good way to keep my pan lids from falling out of the cupboard but still have them easily accessible. I found this dish rack for $3 at the thrift store. It could also be used to hold storage container lids. I can just slide it out when I need a lid, they aren't falling out or getting shoved way in the back of the cupboard anymore.
Another organizing idea to store pan lids (from my sister) is to use a file rack. You can find them at the thrift store or at a department or office supply store for under $5.00.  More Kitchen Organizing tips

I use a plastic shoe box for my storage container lids. You could use a regular shoebox too, I like using clear containers so I can see what's in them.

Spaghetti Squash Gratin

Having friends invite me over along with a request for a prepared dish is a blessing for me.  Since my favorite way to show love and/or affection is to feed people, and feed then well my creativity is awakened. This afternoon I am attending a game day.  That is NOT a day to watch a game being played by notable teams, viewed on television.  This game day is one where all the attendees are participants.  We have a variety of games to choose from and after working up an appetite in active play we will all eat the salads, casseroles, meats and desserts that we prepared  for  the event. I had a GIGANTIC spaghetti squash from my winter CSA  that had been staring at me for a while. This squash was way too big for my husband and I to consume on our own. In the back of my mind I knew I'd read about a spaghetti squash gratin. After searching around a bit online I found the recipe can be found on one of my favorite blogs chocolateandzucchini. Please use that link to get the full recipe. Clotilde prepares the spaghetti squash in a tasty way that could not be easier. I used pecans instead of walnuts, smoked gouda replaced the mozzerella which I grated, put in between the two layers of cooked squash, as well as on top, and I topped the gratin with sage leaves fried in butter (my new favorite taste sensation, discovered while cooking for a sick friend). I'm off to the game day now. I'm sure this gratin will get rave reviews from the hungry players.

Urban Swinging, yes please

Ok. So if you know me at all, you know that one of my all time favourite things to do is to swing. It's always the same, it's always 'after-hours' and always, I'm talking always puts a smile on my face. And not just one of the smiles that's there, it's one of the sincere ones, the ones you feel all the way through to your toes. The ones that happen in the moments that every thing is just right.

I just stumbled upon this blog: Playground Designs, and um, Urban Swings as a topic of discussion? Love. It. And with this, it looks like I have some work to do...uhh, the Red Swing Project, in love.

(it's hard to take a photo whilst swingin'...)

Tamale Pie

I hope you had a lovely weekend, sharing it with family, and celebrating our Savior. The husband and I had a pretty low-key, but relaxing day. We went to church and then headed to lunch, it of course being Mexican food. We both are big fans of this cuisine and it sure does help that we live here in Mexico :) So today I thought I would share this recipe... Mexican version of Shepard's pie. The bottom layer is polenta  (made of cornmeal) and topped with a mixture of beans, veggies, and cheese, and then garnished with some salsa and jalapenos.
Tamale Pie: (8-10 servings, depending on proportion of slices)
Adapted from: A couple Cooks
1 cup of polenta
1 bunch green onions, sliced, green & white parts separated
3 cups pinto beans
1 cup frozen corn
1 (15oz) can of diced tomatoes, drained
1/2 cup cilantro, choopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp chili spice
1 tsp dried oregeno
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp tabasco or hot sauce (optional)
black pepper
1-2 cups shredded Mexican Cheese Blend

4 cups water
1 tsp salt
1-2 tbsp butter*

sour cream

For the polenta, bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Once the water begins to boil, slowly add 1 cup cornmeal, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue to whisk until the cornmeal becomes thick, about 1-2 minutes. Add 1 tsp salt. Reduce heat to low and stir occasionally for 20 minutes, it should lose the raw flavor of cornmeal. Turn off the heat and add in butter and pepper. You can always spice this step up to by adding in cheese, spices, or herbs. Pour into a 9x11 baking dish. You can make the polenta beforehand and let cool in the refrigerator (I have found this method to work better once putting the rest of the pie together).
Preheat oven to 350 F.For the pie mixture, heat a medium skillet pan with a little oil, saute in sliced onion bulbs and garlic, sprinkle salt and pepper. Once a little browned (about 1 minute) add in pinto beans, corn, tomatoes and let simmer on low for a couple minutes. Turn off the skillet and mash about 1/4 of the mixture with a fork or masher. Add the cilantro, spices, and green onions to mixture. Spoon the mixture on top of the polenta. Top with cheese and bake for 20 minutes until heated through. Let cool for 5 minutes, cut slices and garnish with whatever you would like.
* For vegan version sub Earth Balance butter spread

Make the polenta
Pour polenta into casserole dish & refrigerate
Top w/ bean, veggie mixture, & cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes.
 Garnish, & serve.
I like to serve mine over some lettuce.

What the Mavericks should do when the lockout ends

1 Comment

Welcome back to an ongoing series here at PBT, in which we examine the post-lockout course of action of every team in the league. Kurt kicked things off yesterday with a look at the Lakers’ preseason plans, and today we’ll dive into the docket sitting in front of the WORLD* CHAMPION Dallas Mavericks. Tomorrow you can enjoy a look into the basement, with an Analysis of the Timberwolves’ projected plans for the summer.

*The world is not flat, the sun doesn’t orbit around the United States, and the NBA is not the world.

Last season in Dallas: Pretty ho-hum, really. The Mavs just played high-level basketball throughout the regular season, endured a season-ending injury to their second best player, succeeded while their preseason x-factor sat on the bench, added new contributors mid-stride, rallied through yet another costly injury, beat a murderer’s row of playoff opponents in amazing fashion, and capped it all off by hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy for the first time in franchise history. No big.

Since we last saw the Mavericks: Not much has changed. A million talk show appearances later, this team is more or less where we left it; ready to compete in the coming season (after a few moves in free agency to either preserve the current core or bolster it), but likely still a step removed from the title favorites. Dallas went on a miraculous run to take the 2011 title, but they can likely do no more than put themselves in a position to roll the dice come next year’s playoffs. That was good enough to roll all the way through the Finals in 2011, but it’s no guarantee that they’ll be favorites come next postseason.

A few other notes: Dirk Nowitzki and J.J. Barea are representing their countries (err, country and territory, respectively) in EuroBasket, Tyson Chandler told Henry Abbott of TrueHoop that his preliminary negotiations with the Mavericks didn’t exactly go swimmingly, and Rodrigue Beaubois and Caron Butler have continued working toward healthy seasons in 2011-2012.

When the lockout ends, the Mavericks need to… Choose one of the following paths: (1) re-sign Tyson Chandler, Caron Butler, and possibly J.J. Barea in order to maintain their current competitive core, (2) re-sign either Chandler or Butler while covering for the other’s loss with positional depth, or (3) let both Chandler and Butler walk while bracing for a bit of a drop-off. Dallas’ off-season — in whatever form the lockout allows — leans heavily on free agency and the decisions made by all parties within it.

Losing Butler would be a shame, but losing Chandler would legitimately move the franchise down a peg in terms of their immediate competitive worth. Brendan Haywood is a good, starting-caliber center (regardless of what his 2010-2011 production would have you believe), but Chandler is a talent who can elevate a team’s collective defense while augmenting their offensive flow. Players like that don’t come around often, and as the Mavs will find out shortly, they don’t come cheap.

Butler, too, is rather important, and he’ll likely be the best player the Mavs can “add” to their current roster thanks to the limitations of the salary cap. He didn’t play a minute of playoff basketball last season, and thus if Dallas can re-sign him, Butler would bring the added boost of a roster addition with the built-in familiarity of a franchise mainstay. An interesting combination, to be sure. Plus, not only is Butler a flat-out superior scorer to the rotating cast of players the Mavs utilized on the wing, but he also brings a slew of specific skills that allow him to be particularly successful in Dallas: he’s emerged as quite a threat from the corners, can create his own shot more effectively than any Maverick not named Dirk, and is a very effective perimeter defender. Even championship teams need to find ways to improve, and adding Butler back into the rotation is the simplest way for the Mavs to do so.

Regardless of how free agency unfolds for the Mavs, Rick Carlisle must find minutes for the roster’s young talent this season. Carlisle gave Rodrigue Beaubois a legitimate shot after his initial return from injury last season, but Beaubois never found a good rhythm and was eventually shelved with a complication to that same injury. Corey Brewer found limited minutes after being picked up by Dallas mid-season, but he wasn’t familiar enough with the Mavericks’ system to become a regular member of the rotation. Dominique Jones is an interesting prospect, but he, too, didn’t have much of an opportunity in the Mavs’ crowded backcourt. There are still plenty of veterans on the roster that will be worthy of minutes, but Carlisle needs to begin preparing for the next stage of this franchise’s life cycle by carving out playing time for the neophytes. We use words like “veteran,” and “experienced,” to describe Dallas, but it’s all pretty much code for “old.” Dallas’ key contributors are aging, and while there are no budding stars on the roster who demand minutes, Beaubois, Brewer, and Jones are all capable of being long-term contributors for an NBA team. They’ll bring value to the franchise with either their production or their trade value if given the opportunity, but that process begins with seeing the floor.

Coach Tyronn Lue says not to expect LeBron James to have “rest” games

Getty Images
1 Comment

LeBron James has not missed one Cleveland Cavaliers game this season. At age 33 in his 15th NBA season, LeBron is fourth in the league in total minutes played, third in the league in minutes per game at 37, and is top 10 in the NBA in usage rate.

Don’t expect that to change.

LeBron doesn’t want to take games off — he even dominated the All-Star Game — and do you really think Lue is going to force him to sit while the Cavaliers try to adapt to a radical roster shakeup at the trade deadline? From Dave McMenamin at ESPN.

“I just think being the leader of this team, I don’t think he thinks he can take games off, because, you know, guys being hurt and going through a rough patch, and now new guys coming in,” Lue said before the Cavs’ 112-89 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday. “So, I think he’s trying to lead and lead by example … I think we still got to be smart about the situation, but [the training staff] say he feels good.”

LeBron said this last month and things have not changed.

“I told you I want to play every game,” James said. “If my health continues as it is right now, then that’s what it is.”

While “load management” is a buzzword around the NBA — one ignored in Minnesota — LeBron has responded to his increased workload with an MVP level season. LeBron is averaging 26.5 points, 8.2 rebounds, and 8.9 assists per game, is shooting 35.9 percent from three, and has the highest value over replacement player in the league. (His less energized play in January likely cost him any real shot at his fifth MVP.) With the league emphasizing not resting players — particularly in nationally televised games, which the Cavaliers have a lot of — LeBron is not getting much if any rest. He wants to play in a full 82.

The only concern is will he wear down. LeBron is going to have to dominate in the playoffs for the Cavaliers to come out of the East. How much gas will LeBron have in the tank come May? There’s a reason Gregg Popovich, Steve Kerr, and a lot of other elite coaches give players a night off. That’s not going to happen with LeBron, at least not likely in a meaningful way.

Consider it something to file away and remember if the Cavaliers and LeBron look a step slower in the postseason.

Watch Kyrie Irving drop 31 on Knicks in Celtics’ win

NEW YORK (AP) — Kyrie Irving had 31 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, leading the Boston Celtics over the New York Knicks 121-112 on Saturday for their second victory in two nights since the All-Star break.

Irving scored 15 points in a dazzling third quarter and then helped the Celtics finish it off with his passing in the fourth, highlighted by a behind-the-back dish to Jaylen Brown for a dunk that made it 115-106.

Brown had 24 points for the Celtics, who went into the break with three straight losses but came back with a victory in Detroit on Friday.

Trey Burke scored 26 points off the bench for the second straight game for the Knicks, but they couldn’t win this one after beating Orlando on Thursday to end an eight-game skid.

Irving was just 1 for 6 behind the arc in the first half but showed no lack of confidence in the third. He scored 14 straight Boston points, hitting four 3-pointers and pushing the ball right at the Knicks.

His last 3-pointer in that spurt gave the Celtics a 10-point lead, but the Knicks chipped away while he rested and it was a two-point game by the time he returned with 8:14 remaining.

Irving soon made another 3, and passed to Al Horford for a 3 that pushed the lead back to double digits.

Horford finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds.

Damian Lillard scores 40, hits game-winner to beat Suns (VIDEO)

Leave a comment

PHOENIX (AP) — Passing the ball inbounds at a critical time proved too big a challenge for the sputtering Phoenix Suns. So, Damian Lillard got one final chance.

Of course, he came through.

Lillard scored 40 points, the last two on a driving layup with nine-tenths of a second to play, and the Portland Trail Blazers rallied from 15 down in the final 7 1/2 minutes to beat Phoenix 106-104 on Saturday night, the Suns’ ninth straight loss.

Lillard called it one of his “more significant performances” of the season.

“Obviously, Damian was huge, showed his leadership, showed his talent,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said. “We overcame a horrendous shooting night for most of the night and found a way.”

Lillard, who scored 19 points in the fourth quarter, got the final chance because Phoenix’s Troy Daniels couldn’t get the ball inbounds on a five-second call that turned possession over to Portland with 20.6 seconds to play.

“We knew they didn’t have any time outs left,” Stotts said, “so we gave it a shot and made some good reads and didn’t give them any outlets.”‘

Devin Booker scored 30 points for the Suns, losers of 14 of their last 15.

His two free throws gave Phoenix its biggest lead, 93-78, with 7:26 to play. Lillard triggered the subsequent 18-4 outburst that caught the Suns at 97-97 on his 3-point play. Booker’s fifth and final 3-pointer gave the Suns a 100-97 lead with 2:19 to go. Lillard’s 3 tied it at 100 with 1:10 left.

Booker’s powerful driving basket put Phoenix up 104-102 with 33.6 seconds to go. But, after a timeout, Lillard’s step-back 15-footer tied it at 104-104 with 28 seconds left. The Suns called time out to set up the play but, on the sidelines, Daniels couldn’t get the ball inbounds for the five-second call.

“We had no timeouts. I didn’t see anybody open. If I did, I would have thrown it obviously,” Daniels said. “I’ve been in that position a lot of times, but like I said, it’s tough to be in that position when you have no timeouts. You learn from and you get it better.”

On the play, Portland’s CJ McCollum said “I just tried to take away Booker.”

“I saw how they were set up and I just guarded him normal and when I turned and saw him run toward half-court I just shaded toward him,” McCollum said.

Booker never broke open, Daniels decided not to chance it, and the last opportunity was gifted to Portland.

“There was 20 seconds left and I just wanted to make sure I got the last shot,” Lillard said. “I really just wanted to get the clock down, keep it towards half-court where it is further out and I can get downhill. I took a peek, the clock was at six and I got downhill.”

The Blazers, coming off a win at Utah the previous night, have won three straight and five of six.

The game was tied 10 times before Portland finished the first half with a 7-2 spurt take a 55-50 lead at the break.

But the Suns turned it on in the third quarter, outscoring the cold-shooting Blazers 31-16. Portland scored the first five of the second half to take its biggest lead, 60-50. But Phoenix overwhelmed the Trail Blazers 29-5 to go up 79-65 on Booker’s 3.

Russell Westbrook, Paul George call out Zaza Pachulia for “dirty” fall on Westbrook

Associated Press

Zaza Pachulia has a reputation. The league even created a rule — the “Zaza rule”  — after he stepped under Kawhi Leonard last playoffs and twisted the forward’s ankle, ending Leonard’s playoffs and the Spurs chances.

Then Saturday night, as the Warriors pulled away in the second half and routed the Thunder, this play happened, where Pachulia fell on Westbrook’s leg.

While there was some contact, was that really enough to knock Pachulia over? It doesn’t look like it, it looks intentional, but remember Pachulia falls into a lot of guys — including Kevin Durant last season. This, however, was ugly.

After the game Westbrook and Paul George called Pachulia out.

Even the Celtics’ Kyrie Irving chipped in on this.

It will be interesting to see if the league does follow up. There is some history here.
