A Wild Watch Party Raided by Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings made so many moves and have such a huge opportunity to move up in the 2024 NFL Draft that we hardly talk about the surging Minnesota Wild, who pulled within four points of a playoff spot with a regulation win over Anaheim. Brian Flores is finally getting the players he wants and needs. Blake Cashman. Andrew Van Ginkel. Jonathan Greenard. That should excite Minnesota Vikings…

Yankees fans fucking suck. It always feels like there’s such a small handful of us who just wanna watch them play whether they make the post season or not, who legitimately love them enough to not fucking care many games they’ve lost. And heaven forbid we appreciate how hard the players are working even if they’re not at their best rn. BA isn’t everything and yet if you can’t hit .300 all day everyday apparently you aren’t worth shit which is fucking stupid bc no one can do that. And if you even start pointing out that the whole team is off this year they just start screaming about it should be better bc of how much most of the older guys are making.

It’s not boones fault, or cashmans or Steinbrenners. It’s just a bad year with a lot of injuries. It happens. This roster is amazing and yeah maybe they should be playing better, but they’re not and complaining, jeering and whining like a fucking baby aren’t going to fix it.

Tbh most of this is in relation to a comment about Volpe and I get that he’s not a great hitter(which I think is partially due to what he’s told by the hitting coaches) and I’ll admit I think way too many people over hyped him and want him to be jeter way too much and that’s an insane amount of pressure to put on a rookie who barely played in AAA. We’ve already seen improvement. Given time he’ll get better. But a part of the issue that no one understands is we can’t get rid of most of the older guys bc of contracts and bringing new guys up and immediately trading them or sending them back down when they’re not playing great is the dumbest fucking thing they could do. Ofc they’ll play better in AAA where the pressure isn’t as crippling and people aren’t fucking booing them off the field. These young guys will only get better if you give them the chance jfc

We know the chances are slim to fucking none but let us enjoy the wins and personal achievements when they happen jeez. It’s not a bit wonder people hate Yankees fans. Even Yankees fans hate Yankees fans.

A lil Cortuve something I cooked up for @thefantasticfivestros cause their blog is *chef’s kiss*. It’s part of an AU I started that involves the mlb teams as kids and they’re in preschool. Each team is its own classroom and they are all roughly the same age just to keep things simple and the Classrooms are separated by age groups(3,4, and 5 years old). The Astros are all 4 and the Yankees are 5. The rest of the teams, I’ll get to and the classes are a mix of old and new players

“‘tuve, ‘tuve!!! Over here!!” Carlos shouted and waved his hand from where he was sitting on the alphabet rug with Lance,Justin,Yurriel,George and Alex. Jose grinned a toothy smile and hung his backpack in his cubbyhole before making his way to his friends and plops down beside them.

“Mr. L said you were sick, but do you feel better now?” Lance asked and rested a small hand on Jose’s forehead. He nodded and eyed the block tower in front of them. “Breggy said he was gonna build the best block castle in school and beat Mr.C’s class.” Carlos explained as Alex preened at the compliments. “Tony said…uhmmm….he said that he and Aaron are the best block tower builders in school, which is not true cause we’re the best.”

Mr. Luhnow was sitting at his desk and smiled warmly before standing and headed over to his ‘core 7’ and knelt down. “Good morning Jose. How are you feeling?” The boy held a thumbs up before whispering to Carlos in rapid Spanish, who nodded and turned to their teacher. “He said he’s still sniffly but doing good and his sick note is in his backpack.”

Jose had moved from Venezuela only a few years ago, so English was still a struggle for him, thus having Carlos translate for him,which the taller boy was more than happy to do. The shorter boy stood and went to his backpack before pulling out a rumpled piece of paper and handed it over.

“Thank you,Jose. Now it’s time to put the blocks away so we can start learning cause we’re doing something fun today.” Alex and Lance mumbled as they tore down the tower and the seven took their seats with the other kids and Mr. L started the lesson.

——-

During recess, Jose and Carlos were hitting rocks with a stick in the field when they were approached by Aaron and the rest of his class. “What do you want,stinky?” Carlos mumbled and immediately bundled Jose close to him.

“Name calling? That’s not very nice, Correa.” Anthony snipped as Aaron crossed his arms. “We wanna play catch and you’re in the way.” he said primly as Carlos scowled. “No. We were here first. Go kick a ball or something.” he retorted as Jose glowered from where he was smothered in the taller’s arms.

“Mr. Cashman said the field is for everyone and it’s our turn now cause you’ve been playing on it for a long time.” Harrison piped up as Carlos sent one more heated glare in their direction before kicking a pile of dirt in their direction and starts to head off the field, murmuring soothing words in Spanish. “I don’t want you to get in trouble again. You couldn’t play on the playground for two days.” he said softly as Carlos stopped and turned to face his best friend. “They obviously started it, and you know it ‘tuve. I don’t get their issue with us.” he mumbled back as he managed to tackle Justin near the slide with a cackle and the two boys started to wrestle.

The Best Family-Friendly Spots for Viewing Las Vegas Firework Shows

There's something magical about fireworks. They light up the night sky, painting it in a myriad of colors, and they hold a certain thrill for the young and old alike. And Las Vegas, the entertainment capital of the world, doesn't hold back when it comes to fireworks display company Las Vegas. But with so many shows and premier spots to choose from, where can you bring your family for a memorable, safe, and truly awe-inspiring experience? Here’s a rundown of the top spots and events you won't want to miss next time you're in Sin City.

Enjoy Tradition: The Station Casinos Fourth of July Celebration

At Station Casinos, the Fourth of July isn't just a date on the calendar; it's a full-blown celebration across several of their extraordinary properties. The stations usually tee up a stellar fireworks display, which is traditionally fired from Green Valley Ranch Resort with viewpoints across the valley. These family-friendly events include food and drink specials, live music, and plenty of activities to keep the little ones entertained before the main event.

Las Vegas Lights FC Independence Day Fireworks Show

For families with a passion for soccer, the Las Vegas Lights FC Independence Day Fireworks Show is a must-see. Catch a professional game at Cashman Field and enjoy a stunning fireworks display company Las Vegas that follows every goal scored by the Las Vegas Lights. This is a unique and interactive way to experience fireworks where the display is intricately linked to the game's victories. Make sure to grab your tickets early, as they tend to sell out fast!

High in the Sky at the Stratosphere

The Stratosphere provides one of the most incredible vantage points for fireworks in the entire city. Its iconic tower offers 360-degree views of the Las Vegas Valley, making it a prime spot for families to watch the Fourth of July fireworks. The Stratosphere often hosts a party with live entertainment and attractions before the main show, catering to both the thrill-seekers and the relaxed family environment.

Local Community Firework Shows

While the glitz and glamour of the Strip is undeniably attractive, local community firework shows offer a more intimate and community-centric experience. These events, organized by cities and communities such as Summerlin, Henderson, and North Las Vegas, often include parades, picnics, and music to accompany the fireworks. They provide a more personal setting for families to come together and celebrate the holiday.

Safety First: Best Practices for Enjoying Fireworks

Regardless of where you choose to view fireworks, safety should always be your top priority, especially when with your family. Stay clear of the firework's launching zone, adhere to all guidelines and rules provided by the venue, and if you're setting off fireworks at home, ensure you do so responsibly. Keep a safe distance from the ignition site, never allow children to handle fireworks, and always have a first-aid kit nearby.

Las Vegas is known for its splendid entertainment, but the magic of a fireworks display is a spectacle that resonates with everyone. Family fun and safety should go hand in hand as you create lasting memories during the various firework shows in the city. Whether you prefer the grandeur of the Strip or the cozy atmosphere of community events, with a little planning, your firework experience in Las Vegas will be nothing short of spectacular for the entire family.

The LV Lights FC battled the Portland 2 FC to another late-game USL loss 2-1 as the season winds down. Still, it's a great staff and I'm doing my best to make great images. Head coach Chelis continues to be unhappy on the sidelines and it seems that changes may be coming in the off season, maybe not?!

Yankees: I Must Have Missed Something - Wasn't Stanton Set For LF?

Yankees: I Must Have Missed Something – Wasn’t Stanton Set For LF?

Do the Yankees have a new spin on Stanton’s well-advertised but still invisible appearance in left field? Get his $200 million butt out there! The Yankees, as if their season isn’t annoying enough, are at it again. A week ago, Aaron Boone, with no prompting, took it upon himself to say he was ready to make Giancarlo Stanton earn a small portion of the $29 million the Yankees are paying him this…

Elks Stadium at Cashman Field, 1950's. The original Cashman stadium opened May 1948. It was first used for the Las Vegas Wranglers of the Sunset League, and the Helldorado rodeo. The stadium was also used for boxing events, and for the first professional football game in Las Vegas in '64. The stadium deteriorated and went out of use in the 70s, and the current Cashman Field was built on this site in the 80s.

Yanks go out w/ a whimper

Watching the performance of the N.Y. Yankees against the Houston Astros was frustrating! Nothing against the Astros- they're an excellent team that knows how 2 finish off an opponent 'On The Brink'. The Yankees just seemed 2 do more damage 2 themselves, than The Astros. Unnecessary Errors gave extra Outs & stretched out Pitchers, which led 2 Astro Runs Scored. Poor Yankee At Bats led 2 Strikeouts & Men Left On Base.

Sportscasters from YES & TBS speculated on factors like fatique, & injuries, but those Players supposedly want 2 play in October- what excuse can U make 4 mailing it in? The Yankees barely made it past the Young & Hungry Cleveland Guardians. Terry Francona has captured lightning in a bottle. I told friends that The Yanks will have 2 step up their game against an Astros Team that has Owned them in recent Years. I didn't see the anger that I saw in Yankee Teams of The Past.

My N.Y. Yankee Experience goes back 2 1976, when they won the A.L. Pennant. That Team was swept by Pete Rose & 'The Big Red Machine', but @ least that Yankee Team put up a fight... I dare say that the 2022 ALC was The Worst Yankee Performance that I ever seen in a Playoff Series; that includes their 2004 Embarrassment. What frustrated me the most, were the Players' attitudes. Where was the Anger? They seemed disappointed, maybe saddened, but not Angry. Anthony Rizzo & Garrett Cole came closest 2 anger. Cole deadpanned that The Astros outplayed The Yanks @ every position, while Rizzo sounded like he's planning 2 test Free Agent Waters, like Aaron Judge.

Aaron Boone's strategy is being called into question. He made a few head scratching moves over The Season, but he's not on the Field, or in the Batter's Box. The Players have 2 own their share of The Blame. The Yankees Post Season Batting Average was below .200. U won't win any Championships like that. Michael Kay sounded like he was fitting Aaron Boone 4 a noose, but injuries caused more harm than expected. Matt Carpenter, DJ. LeMahieu, & Andrew Benintendi were On Fire b4 going on the IL. Aroldis Chapman self destructed. He looked like a spoiled brat, when he was called in 2 pitch ANY inning other than the 9th. I don't expect him back in 2023.

Sportscasters R talking about 'Big Changes' coming in Yankees Universe. They R quick 2 mention Aaron Boone & Brian Cashman, but once again, The Players didn't play up 2 the back of their Baseball Card. Josh Donaldson & Aaron Hicks both had a dismal Season. Isaiah Kiner- Falefa & Glyber Torres were inconsistent. Giancarlo Stanton never got into his rhythm. This is why the Astros made short work of a Yankee Team that competed in previous meetings.

I just wanted Yanks 2 show more Grit; there's no shame in losing, if U gave Ur Best Effort. Not sure if the Yankees can honestly say that. Now, We wait 4 Post Season Theatrics. The Aaron Judge Sweepstakes alone promise 2 B drama filled. Hopefully, Brian Cashman will treat Aaron Judge better than he treated Derek Jeter.

Book Review: James Nestor’s Breath - The New Science of a Lost Art.

by Ed Cashman

“But why do I need to learn to breathe? I’ve been breathing my whole life.” 

                                                                                                James Nestor

The fruit of a decade’s travelling, research and self-experimentation, Nestor’s travelogue through breathwork practices, both ancient and modern, is accessible and provocative. He opens his account with an epiphany. Attending a breathwork session to alleviate chronic stress, he experiences an intense physical and mental shake-up. This transformative event ignites his interest in the mechanics and chemistry of breath, its therapeutic potential and inspires him to investigate a range of practitioners operating at the vanguard of this increasingly popular field. His engagement with these “pulmonauts”, as he

terms them, constitute the spine of the book. Nestor adventures through yogic and esoteric hinterlands, all the way to the rigours of research labs in a quest to understand, experientially and scientifically, the art of breathing. For the most part, he succeeds. 

His success doesn’t come without sacrifice, however. Alongside Anders Olsson, a Swedish breathwork practitioner, Nestor blocks his nose with silicone plugs to force himself to mouth breathe for 10 days. Supervised by the chief of rhinology research at Stanford, it’s rapidly obvious that this is not a good idea for both of them. Most of their health metrics plummet and they feel simply awful. 

So lesson No.1 in the breathwork world? Breathe through your nose. It turns out nasal breathing has many positives. It filters and warms the air via nasal turbines and increases oxygen uptake in our cells by 18% compared to mouth breathing (via a mechanism known as the Bohr effect that counter-intuitively requires an optimal amount of CO₂ in our system). It also enhances production of nitric oxide that facilitates lung health. Breathing nasally, it turns out, has a modest and occasionally spectacular potential to ameliorate chronic respiratory issues, ease mental health conditions and, indeed, raise the game of high-performance Olympians.

So far, this is conventional wisdom in the world of breathwork. However, the book takes an intriguing and informative turn to what can be described as an example of dysevolution. Simply put, our facial structures have collapsed precipitously, especially in the last 300 years. Here’s the theory: from an evolutionary standpoint, a trade-off occurred – as a result of developing cooking skills - between increased brain-size and the shrinking of our mouths and narrowing of our nasal apertures. Sadly, this deterioration led to a tightening of our airways and instigated the positive feedback loop of mouth breathing.

 In addition, this state of affairs was amplified after the Industrial Revolution by the advent of processed foods, too soft for the chewing that signals stem cells to grow bone, and thereby weakening our facial structure. Consequently, of the more than 5,400 mammals on the planet, humans are the only ones that routinely show misaligned jaws, overbites, underbites, crooked and crowding teeth. Hence, our current state of less than optimal breathing. 

Nestor spends quite a bit of time on this topic and assuages my incredulity somewhat by citing both anecdotal and more rigorous evidence to back up these claims, conducting interviews with experts in anthropology, skull collections, and dentistry. He even takes a macabre trip to an off-limits catacomb in Paris with some local guides known as “catophiles” to confirm this theory and, one might add, spice up his narrative. 

So lesson No. 2? Chew more and, for a start, consider the benefits of a proper oral posture - lips closed, teeth lightly touching and tongue to the roof of the mouth while you inhale through the nose. From a developmental point of view, it’s wise to encourage our children to breathe more nasally. 

The tagline of the book, “The New Science of a Lost Art”, points to the truth of a curious collective amnesia that sometimes accompanies advances in human potential. For most of the techniques outlined here, there are historical precedents, often neglected and forgotten till a pioneer re-discovers and updates them, becoming popular when the wider culture sits up and takes notice. Nestor relates a fascinating homology between the performance of traditional prayers and chants from disparate religious traditions and the paced breathing practices of contemporary techniques. (The extending of the exhale is relevant here.) Both approaches share a calming and restorative effect because of how the breath is engaged in similar ways.

So lesson No.3? Take time out to practice extending the exhale in a 1:2 ratio (4 seconds in, 8 seconds out, for example). Purse your lips on the outbreath to slow the exhale. This exercise stimulates the parasympathetic system, the mode that puts your body in a state of rest and digest. 

There’s a plethora of unusual characters in these pages, outliers and pioneers of the breath. We learn about Alexandra David-Neal, a Belgian – French anarchist who travelled to Tibet in the early 1900’s, absorbed the ancient practice of Tummo, an advanced technique that activates and warms the body. This enabled her to achieve feats of endurance as she hiked the Himalayas on her own in freezing temperatures at elevations above 18,000 feet and, we are told, for up to 19 hours a day with little in the way of food and water! 

Tummo is also an influence on Wim Hof, a.k.a. the Iceman, the Dutch extreme athlete, currently the most well-known pulmonaut on the planet. An excitable and charismatic figure, his techniques exert control over the autonomic nervous system and have been validated in the lab. Hof, a holder of numerous Guinness World Records, can control his body temperature in ice through conscious breathing and can also repel the effects of an injected endotoxin, a feat thought impossible by medical authorities. The experiment was replicated with a group of people tutored by Hof, proving his “powers” are available to anyone. 

Lesson No. 4? Practice, with due care, superventilation techniques that consciously put you in a controlled state of stress for short periods of time only. This places you in the driving seat of your sympathetic (fight or flight) system, increasing resilience and endurance. However, these exercises are not advisable for people with heart conditions or high blood pressure. 

Less well-known in the breathwork domain are the achievements of a choir conductor who developed techniques to alleviate emphysema. Carl Stough, operating in mid-twentieth century America, was extremely private and somewhat eccentric. Nestor does well to shed light on this obscure figure. There’s a fascinating account of how the Russian, Konstantin Buteyko, came to formulate his own technique and how it continues to have success in relieving asthma. Ireland’s Patrick McKeown, a Buteyko practitioner since the late nineties, also features. Then there’s Emil Zatopek, who won gold in the 5,000 and 10,000 metres in the 1952 Olympics. His hypoventilation technique maintained high carbon dioxide tolerance in his system, off-loading more oxygen to his muscles. Stanislav Grof and his Holotropic method, an offshoot of 1960s psychedelic research, is also examined. 

Nestor is to be commended for his deep dive and, although it’s not exhaustive (notables in the field such as Stig Severinsen and Belissa Vranich among others are absent), it’s at the very least a worthwhile endeavour to promote awareness and discussion around breathing in a time when the world’s lungs are under attack by a novel virus. 

I waited for a note of caution, a caveat to this “missing pillar of health” and thankfully it came towards the end. Nestor relates a tale of a fellow airline passenger requesting him to recommend a breathing technique for cancer. There are limitations. Breathwork won’t help acute events like an embolism, he tells us, but it can alleviate milder, longer-term, chronic conditions and enhance the wellbeing of the healthy or mentally stressed. It’s a prophylactic worth striving for and certainly worth more extensive research. 

There’s a useful compendium of practices in the appendix of this intriguing read, ranging from yogic pranayama to box breathing. The latter technique is reputedly practiced by Navy Seals. But it’s not just elite performers that can benefit; anyone can, and this book will make a significant contribution in communicating the profound importance of how we breathe.  

And so to the author’s final lesson. If one were to distil, for simplicity’s sake, these sometimes contradictory practices into the perfect breath, try this: breathe slowly and lightly in through the nose for a count of roughly 5.5 seconds, expanding the diaphragm and breathe slowly out through the mouth or nose for 5.5 seconds. This averages 5 or 6 breaths per minute. Do this exercise for 5 minutes at least 3 times a day. That’s it. Easypeasy, you might say but the trick, like the practice of any art, is consistency. Nestor’s wager, and that of his cast of pulmonauts, is that you will be richly rewarded.
