Picture postcard Loch Earn – with the added attraction of me on a jetty!
Reveille on Sunday morning at 7.30 am. The "old gal" muttered: "You can't be serious!" But the "old git" was a man on a mission! And despite the gloomy low cloud and drizzle outside at Matildas Rest in Perthshire, the "old gal" was persuaded that it was dry and sunny at today's venue of Loch Earn.
The route appealed because it is a naturally beautiful area within the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park – with a relatively easy 16 mile loop round the loch – which is only about a 40 minute drive by car through Crieff and Comrie. Despite it being so close, it was new territory for Team Matilda.
Now my dynamic duo – and me – always like new areas. But believe it or not, we were recommended to try it by my good tandem friend Bluebird – and her crew John and Jane, who live almost 500 miles away outside Southampton! How did this happen? Well John and Jane really enjoyed their Travels with Bluebird tandem trip to Loch Earn on a day when Team Matilda couldn't be with them during our joint Le Tour de Perthshire du Tandem back in August … and said we needed to try it.
Now the "old git" is known to do a bit of research – in fact the "old gal" swears his middle name is google! – but often it pays off. And in his mission to familiarise himself with the new route he discovered the added attraction of a new art trail linking locations within the National Park area.
The unique BLiSS Trail links the villages of Balquidder, Lochearnhead, Strathyre and St Fillans – deep in the heart of Rob Roy Country. The trail – made up of a series of ornamental metal and wood sculptures mostly by various artists – commemorates the Year of Innovation, Architecture and Design.
The brainchild of LETi, the local Loch Earn Tourism Information group, the trail is also designed to encourage more visitors to the area – to boost tourism and the local economy. And it certainly worked – in as much it was the added factor to persuade Team Matilda to make a visit.
So I was packed in Matilda Transport and the (infamous) prosecco picnic was packed and off we headed to the scenic village of St Fillans at the top of the loch on the eastern edge of Perthshire. As we parked the car the weather was just starting to dry up – and the "old git's" research had unearthed an ideal spot for good coffee (and parking) at the St Fillans Village Store.
Great coffee stop! All 3 of us were made welcome at the St Fillans Village Store.
It was as good and as friendly as all the recommendations and reviews suggested. And the warmth of the welcome – and the strength of the coffee! – certainly helped heat all three of us up before we started off on our loop in temperatures which were barely touching 6 C.
You can check out the details of our scenic route on the loop round Loch Earn from St Fillans on Strava below – and don't forget to click on the map image to get the full date and statistics!
Now Loch Earn itself is a freshwater loch and the name is thought to derive from "Loch of Ireland" – from a time when the Gaels were expanding their kingdom eastwards. The loch is the source of the River Earn which starts at St Fillans.
As we tandemed away from St Fillans the "old gal" was heard to exclaim: "It's Baltic!" To which the "old git" retorted: "No, its Loch Earn!" Oh how he laughed! Lets just say that what was said in the ear piece of his walkie talkie by the "old gal" in response cannot be repeated in a family friendly blog!
Still – Loch Earn's mirror man sculpture at St Fillans.
Although we were only doing the loop of the loch – from St Fillans to Lochearnhead – we were promised that there were plenty of other art installations on the BLiSS Trail to look out for.
But unfortunately the most photographed one at the start – the iconic Bliss – wasn't there! You see Bliss – more affectionately known as Loch Earn's mirror man was nowhere to be seen as he had been removed for the winter season from his position lookout standing in the loch just by the jetty at the Four Seasons Hotel.
The larger than life sculpture – by Rob Mullholland – was feared to have been destroyed in 90 mph winds last January which knocked him from his perch. But the half-tonne statue was recovered and underwent substantial repairs – including re-attaching his head (which sounds painful to me being another iconic metal structure!) He returned to the water in June but has been put into hibernation to avoid a repeat this winter.
Fish out of Water – I could have told the fortune-telling fish that Loch Earn looked a tad chilly!
Let's just say that I could have told this fortune-telling fish that Loch Earn looked just a wee bit chilly today! So off we pedalled down the main A85 road towards Lochearnhead.
Since this could be a busy road, the "old gal" ensured Team Matilda could be seen with her flashing red light on the back of her helmet and my very trendy hi-vis flashing light attached to my lollipop which ensures cars have to give us room when they pass.
My dynamic duo soon got into sync and struck up a good pace and we whizzed along the side of the loch – probably in an attempt to keep warm! We were going so fast that we nearly missed two more of the sculptures nestling in the gardens of the beautiful thatched Briar Cottages.
The first was the impressive Stan the Stag who looks out over the loch like a stunning Monarch of the Glen.
The "old git" pretending he is a rutting stag – with me at the artwork at Briar Cottage garden.
The stag structure is an incredibly detailed sculpture by Kev Paxton – and is made of steel flowers, leaves and a thistle. Over 500 hours went in to making it. And, as the "old git" and "old gal" did, if you peep inside its flowery body you will find treasure; a humming bird drinking from its heart, a butterfly and a cute-as-anything mouse with a block of cheese!
After making my acquaintance with Stan we then moved a few yards – within the same garden – to see Blawn wi the Wind – a sculpture of giant thistles, which has also been created by Kev Paxton.
Two metal structures together – me and the giant thistle artwork.
A quick pedal on and Team Matilda turned into the Lochearnhead Hotel where we met Bill the Bull – a colourful take on a Highland coo or bull to be exact! In fact Bill the Bull is described on the BLiSS Trail notes as being a "psychedelic party animal who hates to miss out on anything fun!" So naturally the "old git" had to see if he lived up to his reputation!
Bill the Bull and the "old git" getting friendly while I watch on at the Lochearnhead Hotel.
We tandemed on and arrived at Lochearnhead at the western end of the loch, which is a popular centre for fishing and a wide range of water sports including sailing, water-skiing, wake-boarding and canoeing.
Continuing our tandem in an anti clockwise direction we turned on to the A84 briefly to take in our final artwork called Dragon Bike – made out of wicker by artist June McEwan. It sits proudly outside the Mansewood Country House which is a popular stop off point for motorcyclists.
The Dragon Bike willow sculpture – and me – at Mansewood Country House at Lochearnhead.
The Autumn colours were quite spectacular on our travels, none more so than as we rounded the end of Loch Earn to be met with what seemed like a vivid red tree.
Amazing Autumn colours on show at Lochearnhead, half way round our Loch Earn loop.
My dynamic duo then continued our loop by turning left along the much quieter single track South Loch Earn Road – complete with passing places. This is actually part of Sustrans Scotland Route 7 and is quite undulating to begin with with a couple of fairly steep hills, which I am pleased to report my dynamic crew conquered due to their new found fitness.
Edinample Castle- with my friend Bluebird..
The first of many points of interest on the narrower road was the spectacular Edinample Castle – which is now a private family home.
The castle has quite a history – originally built by 'Black' Duncan Campbell of Glenorchy. It is built on land acquired by the Campbells after their campaign for proscription and subsequent demise of the MacGregors.
It is said that Black Duncan pushed the castle's builder off the roof, in part to avoid paying him, but also because he omitted to construct the ramparts that had been requested. It is also said that the ghost of the builder has been seen walking on the roof.
The "old git" was so intent on keeping up the momentum for the next incline that he forgot to stop here so I have borrowed a photo showing my pal Bluebird – and her crew – from their trip around Loch Earn during our recent Tour de Perthshire.
A mile or so on, on a less undulating section, there was time for a selfie – though quite why the "old git" always throws his head back as if wont get in the shot beats me, and the "old gal"!
Selfie time on the south side of the loch – the "old gal" does look cold!
The "old git" at the ancient wood. Whisper it but he decided it was a tad foolhardy to wear shorts!
About three quarters of the way round Team Matilda found a perfect isolated spot for their (infamous) prosecco picnic – right on the banks of the loch with a fabulous view up and down the water.
Cheers! The prosecco picnic on the loch side was a welcome distraction from the cold!
My dynamic duo were feeling the cold a bit by now as the "old gal" in her (not very) infinite wisdom had decreed that she and the "old git" wouldn't need their thermal leggings today! She was wrong!
So that's a schoolboy error that won't be repeated on future rides during the rest of the year! Although one good thing was that low temperature meant that the prosecco was nice and cool after being carried in my very fetching red leather la bouclee wine bottle carrier – which of course matches my frame!
Tandem riders lunch box – for fortitude, endurance, invigoration …. and prosecco!
The water of Loch Earn was very calm today but the "old git" couldn't resist recounting the interesting fact that Loch Earn is one very few freshwater bodies of water that has its own seiche – a tidal system which is caused by the action of the prevailing wind blowing along the loch.
This wind pressure on the surface causes the water level to build up at one end of the loch. This in turn results in oscillation and the water will return to the opposite end of the loch over time. In the case of Loch Earn, this takes around 16 hours and although the effect can be measured, it is difficult to observe. But the resulting currents can create complex turbulence patterns, as higher layers of warmer waters mix with the lower lying colder waters of the loch.
Loch Earn is fairly unique in this – and is illustrious company of a few other bodies of fresh water which experience this seiche effect including the Great Lakes, Lake Garda, and Lake Geneva.
You can see what the "old gal" thought of that piece of information in the cheeky selfie pic below!
Never takes your eyes off your stoker! The cold temperature led the "old gal" to pull a funny face!
The old gravestone dates from 1660.
It seems the chief of the Clan Stewart had made many enemies, but always managed to avoid them. He died peacefully in bed but his enemies – possibly Grahams or MacGregors – heard of his death and, furious at having been cheated of their revenge, swore to desecrate his body on its way to burial at St Fillans.
The funeral procession, having left the Stewart home at Ardvorlich house further down the road were forewarned and buried their chief in a shallow grave down the hillside close to the loch where he was left for several years until more peaceful times. He was then dug up to be safely buried in the proper place at Dundurn, burial place of the chiefs of the Clan Stewart. The gravestone marks the spot where his body was hidden. So now you know!
Over an old bridge and we rejoined the main A85 for a short sprint back into to St Fillans to complete the route. The sun had decided it would make a belated appearance at this point which allowed my crew the perfect opportunity to take a few more pictures.

A beautiful picture postcard shot looking down Loch Earn from the bridge at St Fillans.
Then the "old git" had to get in on the act and while the "old gal" was happily snapping away, he led me down a steep grass banking and on to a slippy wooden jetty out onto the loch! I thought we were going to fall in at one point!
Lets just say that precariously reversing back off the jetty was interesting. The "old gal" couldn't look! Though she was heard to shout: "If you fall in I'm not coming in after you – its too cold!" But I am sure she was joking!
The "old git" and me precariously balanced on a slippy jetty on the loch.
Anyway we safely negotiated our return to terra firma and Team Matilda returned to the St Fillans Village Store for a reviving coffee in its cosy cafe area. This allowed my crew to have a look at Strava which officially recorded the ride as covering a distance of 15.8 miles with a total moving time of 1 hour 29 minutes, at an average speed of 10.6 mph.
Total elapsed time was just 2 hours 16 minutes due to not hanging about during the picnic! Top speed was 24.4 mph and the elevation covered was 714 feet. We managed to burn up 1,315 calories and produced an estimated average power output of 219 W.
After body temperatures returned to normal I was packed back into Matilda Transport and we took our leave of a beautiful area – with Team Matilda vowing to return.
On return to Matildas Rest – and after I was safely returned to my warm garage – the "old git" put our Strava route around Loch Earn and some pictures of me enjoying the BLiSS Trail on social media. Interestingly my notoriety as a tandem who writes her own blog was almost immediately recognised in a series of tweets from the area including the Rob Roy Country tourist body and Kim Proven, the chair of Leti, the Loch Earn Tourism Information Group.
So fame indeed! And – according to the tweets – it seems Team Matilda may in fact be invited back soon on a return visit to the Loch Earn area so I can be guided to the other areas of Balquidder and Strathyre.
NEWS UPDATE on BLiSS Trail! On November 10, LETi – The Loch Earn Tourism Information group, which organised The BLiSS trail of art installations – won the regional Central, Tayside and Fife trophy at Visit Scotland's Scottish Thistle Awards, for "Working Together for Tourism." Congratulations!
Sounds like a brilliant day out. Probably a much better time of year to cycle along that part of the usually busy A85.
I love the multi coloured bull, he's rather beautiful and have admired him several times this summer from our coo-van.
Autumn is one of my favourite seasons and I imagine travelling around at this time of year was really spectacular.
Mel thanks for your comments. It was a grand day out for Team Matilda – although a tad on the chilly side without the thermals! But for my dynamic duo travelling by tandem certainly brings them much closer to nature! And we are already planning return visit to see Balquidder and Strathyre … and of course going back again to see Mirror Man in all his shiny glory!
Hi there Matty. Glad to see you are exploring my old haunting ground. I have spent many "happy" hours around Lochearn! Need I say more? That's why I look 10 years older than I am ! I see you were getting friendly with the Dragon Bike . Very nice indeed. You could do a lot worse. I think the old dears bought the White Prosecco glasses to try and trick people into believing they are drinking milk! No chance !
Oh Dot you are wicked! There was me thinking that "happy" hours indeed meant happy hours – as opposed to "happy" hours! And ten years older – you will almost be as old as me then! Milk? No chance! You see (I am told) my dynamic crew need the prosecco for re-hydration purposes!
An excellent read Matilda, you have outdone yourself. So many very interesting facts, live and learn as they say. Bluebird was very chuffed that you included her photo in your blog and really hopes she can show you her special area next year. Good luck on the tweeting.
Hello Jane and Bluebird of course! I knew Bluebird wouldn't mind using her picture! You see my crew forgot to take one – and you just can't get the staff! After all it was Team Bluebird who pointed out this fantastic route which is virtually on their doorstep … or within half an hour or so. And I have to say my dynamic crew mentioned to me the prospect of a tour de New Forest … so am sure we can make it happen! I like tandeming thru tree tunnels as you can see from many of my pictures!
Excellent article Colin. Matilda has a keen eye for photographing fashionable art trails and got you around Loch Earn in one piece in spite of the chilly day. Since Matilda visited, LETi -The Loch Earn Tourism Information group who organised The BLiSS trail of art installations – has won the Central, Tayside and Fife trophy at Visit Scotland's Scottish Thistle Awards, for "Working Together for Tourism" We would like to invite you back soon to do the Balquhidder leg, followed by the Strathyre leg if Matilda can stand whatever weather might occur in the next month or two. Would be lovely to see the trail in snow. Do they make winter tyres for hard working tandems too or just cars? Will be in touch.
Kim, this "old lady" would like to offer my sincere congratulations to winning the regional Scottish Thistle Award for your marvelous BLiSS art trail.
I found it truly inspirational and was interesting to see some other iconic steel structures. As you know my dynamic crew are partial to some fashionable culture as they tandem (as well as being partial to some prosecco!) so it was perfect for them – if a tad chillier than the had expected for October, reflected in the title of the blog post … BLiSSful but Baltic Loch Earn Loop.
Thanks for your praise about my keen eye for a good photo – although I have to credit the "old gal" with some of the shots as she is quite good at it as well!
Now because I am a classic tandem – of a certain vintage – I am made of stronger stuff than some of those new flimsy carbon-style lightweight bikes and tandems so weather is no problem to me. My crew may say differently, but I am an "old lady" who is an outdoors girl and up for fun in any weather in fantastic scenery like surrounds Loch Earn! The "old git" and the "old gal" just need to wear the correct outdoor gear (whisper it, but including their cycling thermals) if the weather is slightly inclement or cold! And as for snow – as long as not too deep I am sure Team Matilda could manage! I draw the lines at snow chains however!
So yes me and my dynamic crew would love to accept your invitation to see the Balquidder and Strathyre legs of the trail. We hope you will be in touch soon Kim and I can feel the wonderful Loch Earn fresh air between my spokes again!
And hopefully we will get to meet up so I can feature a picture of you beside my tandem frame! If you're lucky you may even get a shot at being stoker!


Ideal for mountain biking or trail running activities or a mix of both, such as an adventure race, the Aussie Grit range has a zero BS approach and is focused on functional movement to keep you performing at your very best. Aussie Grit has put a lot of thought into their range, with not a single superfluous feature added, each item is laser-focused on the activity at hand. It's obvious the range has been designed by runners and riders because like us, they know what works and what doesn't and this kit works!
Australians are known for their can-do attitude, grit and determination and this is no better reflected than in the Aussie Grit apparel.
Aussie Grit is an Australian start-up spearheaded by no other than former Formula One driver Mark Webber. Focused on off-road cycling and trail running for men and women, with an understated classy design but a highly functional range that offers features that don't just work, but work very well indeed!
The Aussie Grit range is designed primarily for trail running and mountain biking activities. Be it for the weekend warrior or the elite racer. We really like the look and feel of the designs, and can see the high quality and thought that's been put into each garment.
Each garment has a bold and simple aesthetic appeal paired with a range of highly functional features. There are no superfluous features added to clutter the garment or slow you down. It's a simple case of the right tools for the right job.
We received a large consignment of items from the team at Aussie Grit. The women's Gilet, bike shorts and bike jersey, men's bike shorts/running shorts and a bike shell, all from their 'Flint' range.
Both the men's and women's share similar features across each garment, but let's delve deeper into the individual items below.
The Bike Light Gilet is a lightweight, breathable, wind and water resistant, for want of a better word, vest. The material is made from a soft 2-layer, high gauge fabric with a four-way stretch characteristic.
The gilet (vest) features two large rear pockets with plenty of room for storing food items, tubes and essentials. The left 'easy access' pocket features a weather resistant flap to keep the elements out, ideal for electronic devices. The right pocket has a reversed auto-locking zip for extra security.
In addition to the breathable fabric, the gilet features perforation holes at the rear for even more heat dissipation, making this an incredibly versatile piece of kit. For nighttime riding, the vest features reflective strips on the arm piping and front logo.
The extended rear section adds extra coverage and protects against grit and grime flicking up from the rear tyre. Another nice feature is the silicone gripper hem, which helps to keep the gilet in place and stops any bunching up.
When it comes to comfort on the bike, Aussie Grit knows a thing or two and this is reflected in the shared features across the men's and women's products. For example, the jersey's share the four-way stretch and perforated fabric under the arms, which provide unrestricted movement and high levels of breathability right where you need it.
In terms of storage, there are three good sized pockets and one water-resistant pocket, ideal for valuables or electronic items. The rear of the jersey has a slightly longer tail which protects against mud and grime, plus a high visibility reflective zip on the rear pocket, excellent for night rides.
Apart from the obvious functional aspects of the jersey, the comfort factor is incredibly high. Aussie Grit uses a soft touch thread, a tapered collar and the zip underneath the chin uses what Aussie Grit call a Zip garage, which eliminates direct contact with the zip puller. It's these small details that over a course of a 50 or 100km ride, can sometimes wear away at you, literally, and end up driving you mad, or grabbing that bottle of anti-chaff cream.
And best of all, the fabric is durable enough to withstand snagging or tearing as you ride through the tough Aussie bush and boasts a 50+ SPF factor to protect you from the powerful Australian sun.
A breathable, four-way stretch compression fabric supports muscles on the go and post ride and is durable enough to withstand branch snagging. The shorts have a high-quality, Italian made chamois, which is very well padded for excellent comfort.
These shorts are incredibly comfortable with a thigh length fit and tapered reinforced leg hems. The use of flatlock stitching and a shaped waistband sits flat on the stomach for comfort and keeps the shorts in place all day.
There is a secure phone pocket located on the leg of the shorts which sits in the ideal spot that won't disrupt your pedalling or annoy the hell out of you. The shorts also feature reflective highlights front and back for high visibility at night.
The bike shorts have a fantastic fit, with a lightweight fabric outer and a body-hugging inner liner. They run a little shorter than your typical enduro style MTB short, sitting just above the knee. I've used these for trail running and they work perfectly. Although Aussie Grit does a specific running short also.
The shorts use a four-way stretch inner liner that uses an 'Anchor' waistband that holds the inner and outer together in the perfect riding position. And using the same excellent quality Italian made chamois, as in the women's shorts, makes them incredibly comfortable on longer rides.
They share similar traits to the women's shorts with the high vis reflective strips for night riding, snag-proof outer to prevent catching on tree branches and shrubs and a secure reverse zip pocket for your valuables.
To keep you cool on hotter days, the shorts are highly breathable and in addition to this, on the rear of the shorts are laser cut heat evacuation holes. Nice!
The Aussie Grit bike shell is similar to the women's vest but in a full sleeve style. It uses a Singsoft 3-layer soft shell fabric which is waterproof and breathable featuring waterproof auto–locking zips and sealed seams. The shell is lightweight enough to use for long periods, unlike a lot of boil in the bag shells.
With a technical style that allows a full range of movement through the shoulders and elbows due to pre-shaped sleeves, a tensioned gripper at the rear to stop it 'riding up' at the back and binding cuffs for a close fit and to stop water getting in, this is one smart shell!
Using a high neck collar for some added warmth and protection against the cold and a longer tail at the rear of the jacket to guard against mud and dirt flicking up off the trail, makes the Aussie Grit shell a great choice for wet and colder conditions.
If you listen to music on the go then you'll appreciate the vertical chest pocket with the waterproof auto-locking zip and an eyelet for your headphones. The shell also features an offset zip that means it can be layered with other garments without the zips bunching up against your chest. Pretty smart eh.
Oh and to top it all off, the shell comes with high visibility reflective strips front and back, so you'll be easily spotted when out at night.
Where to Buy / Price?
You can purchase any of these items and more, over at the Aussie Grit website.

Launched in 1993, the DB7 has been the backbone of the company. Its international success has meant that it has become the most successful Aston Martin model of all time - exceeding the combined production of the classic Aston Martin DB4, Aston Martin DB5 and Aston Martin DB6. Since 1914, Aston Martin has built just over 22,000 models - 7000 of which are DB7's - proving how important the model has been in providing continued growth to the company.
Regarded by many as one of the world's most beautiful cars, the Aston Martin DB7 received many subtle but effective changes over its 10 year life to complement the elegant, yet classic body design which, since 1993 has epitomised the pedigree, heritage and tradition of Aston Martin. It was Victor Gauntlett who first suggested that a new, smaller Aston Martin should be built alongside the big V8 Astons, a car that would, in terms, be a volume seller.
Aston Martin DB7 was launched to the public at the Geneva Motor show in March 1993. The engine proved to be a light alloy, twin camshaft, supercharged straight six of 3,228cc based on a design that had originated at Jaguar. The cylinder head used 4 valves per cylinder with Zytec electronic multi-point fuel injection while the air needed to combust the fuel was delivered by a water cooled Eaton, 'roots' type, supercharger which was driven by a toothed belt from the camshaft.

« Chin reshaping by cutting out a wedge of bone or shaving it down, what is the best approach?
There are temporal lifts that can elevate the lateral parts of your eyebrow and eye.
There are temporal lifts (Philip Young MD, Bellevue near Seattle, Washington) that can elevate the lateral parts of your eyebrow and eye. These lifts do entail excising, or cutting, skin. But they also entail lifting the muscle or some form of plicating the muscle like a pleat to lift the muscle. The elevation of the muscle gives the lift some longevity. I understand the question that you are asking. But from the answers of the doctors, I can see that they are interpretating your question literally and that might be limiting their answer. Yes you can lift the skin, but with the lift in order to ensure that you can create some longevity, you should also work on the muscle. These lifts can lift your lateral eyebrow and also lift the corner of your eye as well (although this can be more difficult and complicated. Also there are special lifts that pull up on the muscles on the sides of your eyes that can help with the overall lift. This procedure is not as well known to plastic surgeons. This can improve crows feet.

A picture from Bernie Sanders Instagram feed.
Grassroots givers are playing a pivotal role in shaping the 2016 presidential race, boosting insurgent candidates in both the Democratic and Republican primary contests as they challenge establishment favorites in the polls and the race for campaign cash.
Small-dollar donors who gave $200 or less accounted for about 40 percent of the approximately $144 million raised between July and September by the two dozen Republicans and Democrats running for president, according to a Center for Public Integrity review of campaign finance documents filed Thursday.
So who are the candidates raising the largest portion of their campaign funds from these people-powered fundraising machines? Those bucking their parties' establishments and touting their desires to challenge the status quo in Washington.
A staggering 77 percent of the $26.2 million Bernie Sanders, an independent US senator running as a Democrat, collected during the third quarter came from contributors giving $200 or less. The haul helped Sanders narrow the fundraising gap between his campaign and that of Democratic Party frontrunner Hillary Clinton, who raised $29.9 million during the same period.
Meanwhile, such small-dollar donors accounted for about 70 percent of the $3.9 million raised by Republican Party frontrunner Donald Trump, the billionaire real estate mogul and reality TV celebrity.
And they accounted for about 60 percent of the $20.8 million raised by Republican Ben Carson, a former neurosurgeon who collected more campaign cash during the third-quarter than any other GOP White House contender.
These outsider candidates' small-dollar fundraising success reflects "grassroots unhappiness with the powers that be," said Michael Malbin, executive director of the nonpartisan Campaign Finance Institute, which tracks money in politics.
David Keating, president of the Center for Competitive Politics, a nonprofit that advocates for fewer campaign finance regulations, noted that small-dollar donors can add up to "serious money" over the course of a campaign.
Keating added that such donors are also likely to turn out to vote for a candidate, and possibly volunteer as well.

As small-dollar conservative donors help boost the likes of Trump and Carson, the Republican Party establishment has not yet consolidated around a single choice.
Republican Jeb Bush, the former governor of Florida long believed by many to be the likely nominee in 2016, raised $13.4 million during the third quarter. That brings his total haul for the year to $24.8 million — not including the more than $103 million raised by Right to Rise USA, the super PAC Bush founded and raised money for before officially launching his campaign.
Bush's money hasn't kept others from challenging him for supremacy among the party's donors.
Fellow Floridian Marco Rubio, for one, has eclipsed Bush's campaign fundraising haul, raising $25.3 million for his presidential campaign, including money he transferred from his Senate campaign and a $5.7 million take during the third quarter.
And Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, another outsider candidate, is also in the thick of it, raising $26.6 million so far this year, including $12.2 million between July and September.
All the while, many Republicans are still waiting for the field to narrow further before they pick a favored candidate, a Center for Public Integrity analysis of campaign filings and interviews with top donors and fundraisers show.
For instance, GOP megadonors such as casino magnate Sheldon Adelson and hedge fund manager Paul Singer remain on the sidelines of the race.
Likewise, Arkansas businessman Warren Stephens is still being courted by campaigns.
"I haven't really settled on anybody," he said, despite the fact that he's donated this year to super PACs supporting the presidential bids of Walker, Bush and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
So are Joe and Marlene Ricketts, the heads of the family that owns the Chicago Cubs baseball team. The couple was among the biggest supporters of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker before he dropped out of the GOP presidential race last month.
Only about half the nation's top 100 political donors during the past six years — as identified by the Center for Responsive Politics — have contributed to any of the presidential candidates or efforts supporting their bids, according to an analysis of campaign finance data by the Center for Public Integrity.
That's essentially unchanged since mid-summer, a sign few were lured off the bleachers and into the game over the past three months.
Of course, not all of the candidates in the sprawling field have successfully stirred up financial support, and several campaigns reported running dangerously low on cash.
Several candidates reported spending more money during the third quarter than they raised.
One example: Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul, a Republican, brought in $2.5 million but burned through $4.5 million. Paul's campaign reported having $2.1 million in cash on hand at the end of the quarter.
In addition, 11 active candidates each had less than $1 million in cash left in the campaign till as of September 30 — although one of them is Trump, who has said he is willing to self-fund his campaign as needed.
A dwindling stash of hard campaign cash played a significant role in forcing both Walker and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry out of the Republican primary race. Their withdrawals came despite billionaire backers willing to invest millions in super PACs supporting them, showing wealthy outside groups are not enough, on their own, to save a faltering bid.
Derrick Robinson, a spokesman for ActBlue, a Democrat-aligned fundraising outfit, told the Center for Public Integrity that online technology would help engage millions of small-dollar donors, even in the age of big-money super PACs, which have no contribution limits.
"There's no question, small-donor giving is on the rise — even as super PACs have gained in popularity," Robinson said.
Democratic consultant Joe Trippi, who served as Howard Dean's campaign manager in 2004 when the former Vermont governor unexpectedly surged by galvanizing the grassroots, likewise agreed that technological changes have aided politicians.
But Trippi stressed that insurgent candidates still face uphill battles.

Princess Diaries 2
featuring Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson
Record label: Walt Disney Records
Genre(s): Movies, Film Scores, Musicals, Etc.
Parent Approved
You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone that won't admit, at least to some extent, that they thought Princess Diaries was actually a decent movie. Hopefully the sequal didn't disappoint the following of young girls that made up most of its fan base. Although with Anne Hathaway returning to the star role as Mia Thermopolis, I'm sure Royal Engagment was at least somewhat entertaining. And that's about what the soundtrack is...somewhat entertaining.
One caveat about this soundtrack is it's around its target audience, not us adults. Consequently much of the musical and lyrical content has been dumbed down immensly, leaving a skeleton of kiddie pop in the wake. There are, however, some tracks to note, and some to heed warning.
Opening things up is Kelly Clarkson performing "Breakaway", and exclusive single done soley for Princess Diaries. It was co-written with by Avril Lavigne, and when you think about this fact it's possible to notice some similarity to her music. Follwing up is one of Disney's up-and-coming starlets, Lindsay Lohan, and "I Decide". Without being overly bratty or "girl-power"-ish, Lohan touts her independent thought and how she controls her life.
Raven, who is also a Disney product, comes through surprsingly well on "This Is My Time". She shows that not only can she act (she has her own show "Not So Raven"), but has a pretty good voice too by giving plenty of support where it's needed and staying within her range. Norah Jones amazes like usual doing a cover of Elvis Presley's "Love Me Tender". Norah can take the most simple song, even one as well known as this, and work her magic to evoke an emotional response from the listener. The only other notable tracks are "Fools" by Rachel Stevens and Renee Olstead's contemporary jazz number "A Love That Will Last".
Low points include the bratty and annoying "I Always Get What I Want" from Avril Lavigne. This song is bound to get on any adults nerves with lines like "every now and then we all want somethin' / even if there's no way of gettin it. if I stomp my feet quick that may be / be the way around it". Great...tell kids throwing a temper-tantrum gets you what you want. Pink's "Trouble", while not really that bad, isn't good either, and is probably the weakest track I've heard from her.
The intellectual level goes way down during the second half of the album. Steve Harwell does vocals on the lame "Fun In the Sun", and it sounds like every other Smash Mouth track. "Dance, Dance, Dance" by Wilson Phillips belongs on one of those sing along videos for two year olds.
What IS good about Princess Diaries 2 is that it allows young women and girls to be confident without using sexuality as the tool so many young women do today. Music critiquing aside, the soundtrack is bound to please its target audience, which could roughly round out to be five year olds up to late teens (depending on their maturity level). I'd feel perfectly fine letting my daughter listen to this one...except that Lavigne's track! 05-Oct-2004 9:33 PM

What Was Pub Rock?
Pub rock became a phenomenon in London in the early 1970s. An excellent document of the scene is the compilation Goodbye Nashville Hello Camden Town, which I wrote about for The Word, June 2007…
"Would You Ask A Man To Drink And Jive?" Or even: "Are You Ready For Rhythm & Booze?" Under such punsome headlines, the 1970s music papers hailed the newest new thing in London, and they called it pub rock. It was rock, and it was played in pubs. Who could possibly object? While it was never a screamingly fashionable genre, pub rock was benignly viewed as a Very Good Thing, and when punk rock happened, people gave pub rock the credit for blazing a trail of back-to-basics sweaty intensity .
Some of the major new wave stars, like Elvis Costello, Joe Strummer and Ian Dury, had their roots in pub rock. The most dynamic pub rock act, Canvey Island's Dr Feelgood, inspired everyone from The Ramones to Paul Weller. And the prince of all pub rockers, Nick Lowe of Brinsley Schwarz, would produce the glorious 45 that detonated English punk, namely The Damned's New Rose. Any way you look at it, pub rock merits some sort of Rock Heritage Preservation Order. So why is it so seldom celebrated?
Pub rock had no single style, except a common fondness for rootsy Americana, from country twang to 12-bar blues to southern funk. It's really defined by what it wasn't – not pretty and arch, like glam rock; not obscure and technical, like prog-rock; nor insular and sensitive, like the era's singer-songwriters. It was your basic, unpretentious, rowdily good night out. The scene was centred on a handful of London venues, most famously the Hope & Anchor in Islington. The drummer Will Birch, of Southend's Kursaal Flyers, wrote a great history of it all, called No Sleep Till Canvey Island, in which he notes: "Even at its height, pub rock attracted a relatively small audience… One would often see familiar faces at key gigs, creating the impression that the core audience was the same 20 or 30 people, moving very quickly from pub to pub."
It's the Golden Age of Pub Rock, basically the 1970s, that dominates this extensive new compilation, Goodbye Nashville Hello Camden Town. The double CD takes its name from the opening song, by scene stalwarts Chilli Willi & The Red Hot Peppers, and romps across another 47 tracks. In among them are some long-buried gems we ought to re-claim with joy, like Mick Farren's punk-parodic I Want A Drink, or The Count Bishops' moody western masterpiece Train Train. There is a generous selection of three cuts by Ian Dury's Kilburn & The High Roads, including his eternally touching Crippled With Nerves and his epic Cockney odyssey Billy Bentley (Promenades Himself In London).
But some of the crucial figures are under-represented, to my mind, or simply missing altogether: of Nick Lowe's stylish wit and melodicism, there is only the Brinsleys' Country Girl, and just one apiece from Dr Feelgood and Eddie & The Hot Rods. Though the compilers can't have access to everything, it's a shame that Elvis Costello is nowhere to be heard, likewise Strummer's 101ers, or Ducks Deluxe or Graham Parker. Absent as well is one of pub rock's rare pop hits, How Long? by Ace. For any of these I'd gladly surrender Chas & Dave's I Am A Rocker, to which the passing years have lent no allure at all.
To be fair, David Wells' detailed sleevenotes do supply a wider narrative than the tracks can offer. He also makes the following bold assertion: "In terms of pub rock, received opinion is that, like some blowsy barmaid, it was pretty appealing after a few pints, but didn't seem quite such an attractive option in the cold light of day. Absolute drivel." But is it absolute drivel? I wonder if received opinion was at least partly correct: pub rock does have a certain "You had to be there" aspect to it. Those pub rock nights of the 1970s were often incandescently exciting, but disappointingly few acts made essential records. (There are several dull examples on this compilation.) It's surely telling that the greatest LP that ever came out of pub rock was a live album – Dr Feelgood's Stupidity.
What's for sure is that, somewhere along the way, pub rock fell out of favour. By the 1980s, when all in pop was sleek, synthetic and glossy, "pub rock" signified something grubby, unambitious and tired. And in truth its great days were over. Its best and brightest had heard the landlord call for Last Orders, supped up their beer and collected their fags. Groups have never stopped playing rock music in pubs, obviously; but as a movement, pub rock rather faded from media notice in the bright new age of cocktail bars, MTV stars and style magazines. It survives today and hopefully it will never entirely die. But at my own London local, a former shrine of this pub rock, the baton has passed to tribute acts. Often, they're paying tribute to the very acts, like Queen and Pink Floyd, that pub rock was designed to subvert.
Never mind. Goodbye Nashville Hello Camden Town performs a valuable service in commemorating a scene that's too often remembered for what it led to – namely punk – and insufficiently celebrated in its own right. Elvis Costello and Nick Lowe, who are two of British rock's smartest operators, still speak up for the movement to anyone who cares to listen. More importantly, as the late Lee Brilleaux of Dr Feelgood would invariably say, whenever the talk took an unduly ponderous turn: "Bollocks to all that. Now, what are you havin'?"

Rich girl who complained about poor people launches ANOTHER rant after the coverage failed to highlight that she's gay (even though she admits it's not relevant)
Rachael Sacks gained instant notoriety in October when she complained on her blog that a grocery store clerk frowned at her Mulberry bag
She wrote: 'People shouldn't make others feel bad about their own personal finances. How people spend their money is their own choice'
Now Sacks has written a follow-up article in which she claims the media ignored that she was gay - even though she admits it wasn't relevant
'While my sexuality is irrelevant to the topic of my article, it still is part of who I am and should not be ignored,' she admits
By Michael Zennie and Louise Boyle and David Mccormack
A New York-based student who earned widespread criticism and notoriety earlier this year when she wrote an essay demanding that poor people should stop making her feel bad because she's rich has posted a follow-up article in which she complains that the media coverage of her outburst failed to make an issue of her sexuality.
Rachel Sacks, who is enrolled in a $40,000-a-year writing program at a New York liberal arts school, posted her latest musings – entitled They Could Find My House But They Couldn't Find Out I Was Gay - on Thought Catalog on Monday.
Sacks writes that she is upset with the media for not making an issue our of her sexuality, even though she admits it wasn't actually relevant to her previous essay about how a cashier at a grocery store close to her affluent West Village apartment was unfriendly and frowned at her because she had a designer bag.
Rachael Sacks, who gained notoriety over an essay about poor people hating her because she's rich, has now complained that the media didn't include the fact that she is gay even though she admits it wasn't relevant
'I have Pride Flags hanging in the windows of my apartment,' protests Sacks.
'My Facebook account also says ''interested in women''. Reporters were able to find my home on Google Earth yet they were unable to see my sexuality blatantly listed for the public to see? It doesn't add up.'
Revealed: The woman in the wings: How GMA host Robin... 'Hi baby, goodnight, it's Teleka': Doctor, 30, who vanished...
Gandhi's note to Hitler suggesting peace, a child's advice...
It was October when Sacks first gained notoriety after she posted her controversial essay on the Though Catalog site entitled I'm Not Going To Pretend That I'm Poor To Be Accepted By You.
In that article Sacks blogged: 'I am sorry that I was born into great financial circumstances and my father likes to provide for me. I am sorry I don't have to go to a state school to save my parents money. What do you want from me?'
Scorned: Rachael Sacks, 20, has received endless online vitriol over her essay about her privileged background
In the media firestorm that followed Sacks, 20, was unrepentant over her rantings and told the Mail Online that she was undeserving of the media attention it generated because she was a 'spoiled brat who masturbates too much'.
In her latest essay, Sacks freely admits that her sexuality has nothing to do with previous essay which gained her notoriety in the first place.
'While my sexuality is irrelevant to the topic of my article, it still is part of who I am and should not be ignored,' she admitted.
According to Sacks, she believes her sexuality was ignored because 'it would look tacky to vilify me in the press in regards to my sexuality.'
'Non normative sexuality has to be avoided completely as a topic of discussion because of all of the tragedies that have resulted from kids being bullied for being gay.'
Sacks is seen here with her father, Dr Preston Sacks, a prominent fertility doctor in Bethesda, Maryland
On her blog, her ambition is stated as: 'Working on my goal of being a rich eccentric old person by writing a lot of things.'
The student has penned other articles entitled '13 Things That Should Exist For New York Women In Their 20s' and 'Confession: I'm a chronic female masturbator'.
In her essay about the hardships she faced as a rich person she wrote: 'People shouldn't make others feel bad about their own personal finances. How people spend their money is their own choice.'
She continued: 'It just seems really petty and makes you look bitter and unhappy with your own life if you are casting nasty glares at college girls in Gristedes because you're a cashier.'
The 20-year-old then argued: 'I'm not one of those people who try to be poor to relate to people.
'I think that's honestly really disgusting behavior, it's as if you're saying that you have to make yourself into something you think is beneath you to get others to like you.'
Classy lady: The 20-year-old New York college student said in her previous article that it is petty to be bitter about college girls if you're a cashier at a grocery store
She later claimed that she had no idea that she was rich while growing up because her family went to McDonalds and she wore clothes from Old Navy.
She added: 'I went to private school when I was younger and there would always be someone so much richer than me.
'There were kids who owned their own horses and whose parents were billionaires, so I had no idea that I had any money until I was about 14 and people called me ''Rachael Sacks of Cash''.
Within hours of Sacks' previous article, she was flooded with deriding, mocking comments from people who didn't appreciate her perspective on wealth.
'Yes, let's all pity and feel bad for poor, judged, not smiled at,' one twitter user commented sarcastically.
A commenter on her story wrote: 'What a spoiled brat. Your parents did a horrible job of raising you. The level of entitlement in this article is mind blowing. No one is born spoiled, entitled and snobby.'
Sacks attends the New School's Eugene Lang Liberal Arts College - one of the most expensive universities in the country
'That is a learned behavior. And it's repugnant. I hope that you can modify your behavior before you pass your horrible and selfish attitude down to your children,' another commenter added.
Sacks responded in fury at the negative responses her personal essay had drawn.
She posted on Twitter: 'I've been dealing with b****** since the third grade I've always been ready for haterz.'
She added: 'I'm just an obnoxiously loud voice of idiocy amongst billions.'
Gossip site Gawker piled on with a post headlined Rich Girl Not Going to Pretend She's Not Rich Just to Make Poors Happy.
Sacks attends the private Eugene Lang Liberal Arts College at the New School in Manhattan.
Sacks was unrepentant in the face of criticism, telling her 'haters' to 'suck it'
With tuition and fees totaling nearly $40,000 a year and annual cost of attendance estimated at more than $61,000, it has been ranked as one of the most expensive college in the country.
Her father is Dr Preston Sacks, a prominent fertility doctor in Bethesda, Maryland. The family lives in a $700,000 home in Bethesda, Maryland.
Despite the massive influx of online criticism, Sacks doesn't appear to have changed her mind.
She tweeted: 'I'm rolling my eyes because I definitely don't deserve this much attention.'
Adding later: 'La la la everybody hates me guess ill eat some worrrrmmmsss. Suck it.'

She called for the €530 m in property tax to be used for lights, signage, footpaths, traffic calming, street cleaning etc which councils are struggling to maintain.
"There is a huge need for local services in towns like Rathdowney, where paths in Quigley Park require a complete overhaul and in Mountmellick, where lighting is needed in Pond Lane. Public lighting is also a huge issue in Rushall in Mountrath where there are also anti-social behaviour problems for residents to contend with and lighting would be of huge benefit to this estate".

Alternaria inhibits double-stranded RNA-induced cytokines productions through TLR3
Kouta Wada, Takao Kobayashi, Yoshinori Matsuwaki, Hiroshi Moriyama, Hirohito Kita
Fungi may be involved in asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). PBMCs from CRS patients produce IL-5, IL-13 and INF-± by Alternaria. In addition, Alternaria produces potent Th2-like adjuvant effects in the airway. Therefore, we hypothesized that Alternaria may inhibit Th1-type defense mechanisms against virus infection. Dendritic cells (DCs) were generated from mouse bone marrow. The functional responses were assessed by expression of cell surface molecules by FACS (MHC Class II, CD40, CD80, CD86 and OX40L. Production of IL-6, IP-10, I-TAC and IFN-β were measured by ELISA. TLR3 mRNA and protein expression were detected by quantitative Real time-PCR and Western blot. Alternaria and poly I:C enhanced cell surface expression of MHC Class II, CD40, CD80, CD86 and OX40L, and IL-6 production in a concentration-dependent manner. However, Alternaria significantly inhibited IP-10, I-TAC and IFN-β production induced by viral double-stranded RNA (dsRNA)-mimic poly I:C. TLR3 mRNA expression and protein production by poly I:C were significantly inhibited by Alternaria. These reactions are likely caused by heat-stable factor(s) in Alternaria extract with >100 kDa molecular mass. These findings suggest that fungus, Alternaria may inhibit production of IFN-β and other cytokines by DCs by suppressing TLR3 expression. These results indicate that Alternaria may inhibit host innate immunity against virus infection.

Alternaria and poly I:C enhanced cell surface expression of MHC Class II, CD40, CD80, CD86 and OX40L, and IL-6 production in a concentration-dependent manner.

These Tim Black Sneakers are so cute! Our fave part is the fun, sequin detailing. Pair these cute sneakers with any tops from our online boutique.
I like them fit well. Color not what I expected. But I do like them.
I am returning these tomorrow! I would give 0 stars if I could! The pics do NOT represent what I received! The sequins don't all flip over and on the "white/black side" of one shoe there's a big patch or white only sequins that don't match the rest and when you try to flip to the black sparkle side they don't all flip or lay flat so it looks terrible! They don't fit well either, very cheaply made!


This Court should grant certiorari to vindicate this Court's Fifth Amendment jurisprudence and overturn a scheme by which Mississippi and other states may redefine private property to be public property without honoring the constitutional obligation to justly compensate the owner.
This Court should grant Bay Point's petition because the Mississippi Supreme Court's decision contravenes this Court's Just Compensation Clause jurisprudence. By affirming a legislative scheme that allows a state to redefine private property to be public property without justly compensating the owner the Mississippi Supreme Court's decision undermines the Fifth Amendment.
Allowing Mississippi's scheme to stand will invite other states to adopt similar legislative schemes by which states may redefine private property to be public property and escape the constitutional obligation to justly compensate the owner.


Like a train in a tunnel, in darkness he goes.
And makes his own track with his feet and his nose.
For breakfast and supper, for dinner and tea.
Yes, just as they are, as a matter of course.
He gobbles them up, without cooking or sauce.
And has but one coat, he is perfectly neat.
It's not very often he visits the light.
Then he and his enemy leave their dark holes.
And in warfare there's nothing more savage than moles.
Biting and scratching, they scuffle like mad.
Until it's a puzzle to see which is which.
That before you count ten they're gone into the ground.

Elsa Posey, founder and director of Northport's Posey School, will be recognized by the Northport Historical Society next week for her lifelong commitment to dance education.
A dinner and dance in Posey's honor will be held on May 30 at 7 p.m. at the Northport Yacht Club. Proceeds from the event will support the historical society's community and education programs.
In an interview this week, Posey said she was grateful to be honored and pleased that the recognition would bring attention to the dance school she opened in 1953. She brought her love of dance to Northport because it is her birthplace, she said, and because "I love it here. I'm a sailor. Just being near the water is important to me."
Posey describes herself as a dance historian. She and her staff teach the legacy of choreography and the freedom of improvisation. Building on tradition in dance means the individual dancer is "never alone. You are supported by all the dancers that went before you," Posey said.
Dancing is alive with what she called "the spirits, the ancestors" of those who have performed and loved dance through the ages. Posey School students often recreate historic dances, the founder said, including minuets from the 1400s and 1500s. Posey said her students will perform excerpts from the ballet "Swan Lake" — a work from the 1800s, she pointed out — at Northport Middle School on June 6.
A distinguishing characteristic of her school is the lack of recitals. Posey is not a fan, she said, of recitals where children are not really dancing but merely reproducing steps by rote. Instead, "we do performances when the dancers have something to show," she said. "They're performing with the music, to bring out the elements that were intended in the role." That flow between dancer and music is achieved through performance plus education, Posey said. She herself was trained at the School of American Ballet in New York City as a youngster. Today her students — who range in age from preschoolers to seniors — take classes in ballet, modern dance, jazz, folk and country dances.
The school is not about competition among students. "We don't compare one person with another," Posey said. "It's not that you're better than somebody else."
Dance inspires in many ways, Posey said, and can even improve lives. "I help the children understand dance as a part of history and their culture," she explained. Appreciating cultural differences, and the values held by those who live in other places, "is what makes us better people."
Make no mistake — though dance is surely physical, it's much more than athletics, Posey said. "Dance is not a sport. It's an art." Musicians, too, she said, know that music and movement can create "an opening of the mind."
Posey was the founder and first president of the National Dance Education Organization, which gave her its Lifetime Achievement Award. She is current president of the National Registry of Dance Educators, a group of master teachers of dance.
Heather Johnson, director of the Northport Historical Society, said the organization is honoring Posey because "she always talks about how great the community is here. But she's part of what makes it wonderful." Posey "is so very dedicated to her students," Johnson said. "And she's also been a supporter of the historical society."
In a press release from the historical society, Steven King, president of the society's board, said, "The entire Northport community has benefited greatly from Elsa Posey's commitment to providing dance instruction and performance."

Likely in an attempt to get Frank Ntilikina going, Knicks coach David Fizdale didn't play point guard Trey Burke, who has been rusty with his shooting the past two games (3-of-16) since returning from a knee sprain. But it didn't change Ntilikina's fortunes offensively, as he shot 1-of-6 to make him 6-of-25 in his past four outings.
So much for Ntilikina's rebirth since getting those three straight DNPs. Ntilikina averaged 14 points in his first three games back from banishment — with Burke injured. Fizdale said Ntilikina gets timid and loses confidence when things go badly early in his stint, and he's trying to change his mindset.
"It's just like any habit is," Fizdale said. "You've just got to stay with it where you build a habit of playing free without worrying about what people say, about what the coach is thinking, what anybody is thinking. It's just because he's so unselfish, he's concerned about that stuff.
"You can see it. When you're around him long enough, you can tell when he's like, 'Screw it. I'm just letting it all hang out and I'm just going to play.' And you can see when he's thinking about, 'If I miss this or if I screw this up, what's going to happen?'"
Fizdale said Burke still hasn't regained that quickness and his game is "all about his wheels."
2. Refreshing stuff from MSG Network replacement Swin Cash, a former Liberty star, with pointed criticism on the Knicks' defensive demeanor/strategy after allowing 131 points. The Knicks have, incredibly, allowed at least 110 points in 12 straight games. Cash, subbing for Wally Szczerbiak, said the Knicks looked like they had no game plan to take away anything from the Sixers, whether it be trying to double Joel Embiid or doing something special to defend the pick-and-roll better. The Sixers got everything they wanted.
"I couldn't tell you what they were taking away," Cash said.
The Sixers made 15-of-30 3-point attempts, the second-most 3s they have made this season. The Sixers also had their best shooting first half of the season (57.8 percent). And the Knicks let Landry Shamet notch his career high (17 points). Shotblocking center Mitchell Robinson (ankle) and his activity is missed.

3. Kevin Knox's defense still is subpar, but the Knicks knew that when they drafted him. His offense is flowing the past half-dozen games, though he still needs to sustain it for four quarters instead of having one-quarter splurges. He's averaging 19.7 points on 42.7 percent shooting — and a lovely 42.9 from 3-point range. Fizdale hinted his intensity level earlier this season wasn't enough.
"It's really understanding how to work and the intensity you have to put in the game," Fizdale said. "And it's slowing down for him, recognizing things better and where his spots are. A typical 19-year-old, they have to go through it and he's starting to settle in and score in this league."
4. How good is the Sixers' 6-8 point guard Ben Simmons? He posted a triple-double (13 points, 10 assists and 11 rebounds) and ripped himself after the game for poor play while Fizdale praised the defense played by power forward Noah Vonleh in limiting him.
"I don't think I played well at all tonight," Simmons said.
5. If Fizdale is failing as a defensive coach this season, you have to give him credit for his salesmanship during this trying, 1-8 stretch. The charismatic Fizdale still manages to fill up reporters' notebooks with his irreverent, non-cliched takes. He's the only coach who has made losing sound almost noble. That's no easy feat. Late Wednesday, Fizdale told this reporter he's owed a fruitcake for a Christmas present to repay him for season-long lively press conferences.

Carolina Thunderbirds name Drew Blevins as play-by-play announcer
The Carolina Thunderbirds have hired Drew Blevins as their play-by-play announcer for this season.
Blevins replaces Zak DeBeaussaert, who will be the new play-by-play voice for the Columbus River Dragons, an expansion team in Georgia.
Blevins, who is from Wake Forest, will also be the team's vice president of media relations.
"Drew comes to us highly recommended for this spot," said general manager Jimmy Milliken of the Thunderbirds. "He will fit right in with the Thunderbirds organization with his work ethic and determination."
Blevins, 24, is a 2017 graduate of N.C. State. While there, he was also the voice of the N.C. State hockey club team. He also called games for the Carolina Eagles in the United States Premiere Hockey League.
"I'm excited for the opportunity," Blevins said. "The Thunderbirds are a brand that is recognizable throughout the league and the region, and it's special for me to be able to join this premier staff on this championship team."
The Thunderbirds are the defending champions of the Federal Prospects Hockey League. The team is about to begin its third season of play.
"Zak has left the Thunderbirds in good hands, and I have to thank he and Jimmy and Christy and all the staff for being willing to take a chance on a 24-year-old from just outside of Raleigh," Blevins said.
Every Carolina Thunderbirds game last season was broadcast live on WTOB (980 AM) radio station in Winston-Salem. WTOB will also carry the games live this season.
