Way back in August of 2007 I reviewed a little-known, little watched movie from 1978 called Patrick, in which a comatose pervert with telekinetic powers goes for the poltergusto with his beautiful young nurse--a course of (in)action that obviously can end only in tragedy. While it had a winning premise and a few appealing scenes, Patrick was stifled by pacing problems and a lack of willingness to "GO THERE." I wrote at the time, "[Patrick] just doesn't go far enough off the deep end to be really enjoyable...If it had been tighter, this might have been a pretty good thriller; if more inept, perhaps a so-bad-it's-good nugget of joy. As it is, unfortunately, it just comes off as mediocre."
Well, leave it to the Italians to pick up the slack and do the shit RIGHT. Directed by Italian TV specialist Mario Landi, 1980's Patrick Still Lives (Patrick Vive Ancora) throws caution to the winds, jumps in with both feet, and cranks the insanity setting up to twenty. Absolutely bursting with blood, boobs, and J&B, this sequel* takes its original movie's premise, throws in a healthy dose of mad science, revenge tragedy and alcoholic perversity, and then hits "puree." The result is, in a word, delicious.
*It should be pointed out that Patrick Still Lives is a sequel to patrick in the same way that Fulci's Zombi is a sequel to Romero's Dawn of the Dead (and hence was originally released as Zombi 2)--70s Italian film companies were not at all above appropriating/remaking/revising foreign product for domestic audiences--though not the the same extent as the Turks. You can see why they'd want to cash in on something like Dawn of the Dead, but the motivation for ripping off an obscure psi-killer movie hardly anyone saw is still a little obscure. Just chalk it up to one of history's fortunate foibles and enjoy.
The movie opens with Professor Herschell (a wonderfully weird and menacing Sacha Pitoëff) stranded on the side of the road with car trouble, while his Peter Tork-lookalike son Patrick (Italian pop-star sensation Gianni Dei) fiddles around under the hood. Tragedy is quick to strike (and I mean QUICK--as in, less than 15 seconds into the movie's runtime) when the driver of a passing car throws a bottle out the window, which hits Patrick in the face, knocking him straight into a coma! There follows some effectively creepy surgery POV shots, with Herschell looming over his unresponsive son, and then we get the credits and some kinda cool low-rent Goblin-imation music courtesy Berto Pisano that's also HEAVY on the theremin--that's a plus, kids.
Years later, a motley group of strangers has been summoned to Dr. Hershell's asylum/clinic/bed-and-breakfast resort for a free vacation/therapy weekend. In attendance are Member of Parliament Lyndon Cough (Franco Silva) and his nymphomaniac Eurobabe wife Sheryl (Carmen Russo), Stella Randolph (Mariangela Giordano) and her may-or-may-not-be lover Peter Suniak (played to total helmet-haired, fur-chested, porn-stache Eurosleaze perfection by John Benedy), and "fortunate son" diplomat-spawn David Davis (Paolo Giusti). Dr. Herschell's freshly hired assistant Lydia Grant (the SMOKIN' HAWT Andrea Belfiore) and dog-loving housekeeper Meg (Anna Veneziano) round out the cast.
The movie wastes no time establishing that, with the possible exceptions of David and Lydia, most of the weekend guests are fairly horrible people bringing more baggage than what's contained in their suitcases. The obviously alcoholic Mr. Cough is being blackmailed by some unknown political adversary, leading to friction with Sheryl (though not of the sort she'd like--despite her penchant for walking around with her nipples poking out the top of her bra, she can't get her performance-challenged spouse to give her a parliamentary seeing-to). The also-alcoholic Stella reveals quickly that she used to be a high-priced call girl, and spills the beans on Suniak's past as a drug dealer over an uncomfortable welcoming dinner. After a glass tumbler explodes in Lydia's hand at the same dinner (leading Dr. Herschell to scold, "Ms. Grant, in the future check the crystal PERSONALLY!"), spooky-chick Meg warns David to leave the clinic before something terrible happens. Of course the hunky Mr. Davis, smitten as he is with Lydia, won't listen.
The mystery of the asploding glass is soon solved when, having seen his guests settled in for the night, Dr. Herschell moseys down to his underground lab to visit his comatose son Patrick, who thanks to Daddy's mad-scientastic ways has been imbued with murderous telekinetic powers. (How Dr. H was able to accomplish this is unclear, though it obviously has something to do with the impressive bank of buzzing machinery and trio of horribly scarred, green-lit and naked coma patients he keeps behind glass just across from Patrick's room.) Turns out Dr. Herschell has spent the last several years narrowing down his list of bottle-throwing suspects, settling at last upon the group of possible coma-causers now bickering and getting drunk in his guest rooms. Under Daddy's direction, Patrick sets about taking revenge on those who might be responsible for his affliction in the most awesome and insane ways possible.
First to go down is Lyndon Cough, who even if he didn't toss the bottle that put Patrick under still deserves what he gets for taking an early morning swim in the type of skimpy black speedo that no sixty-year-old man should ever wear, I don't care HOW Italian he is. Once mercifully underwater, Lyndon is attacked by a pool full of dry ice and BOILED ALIVE! His Oscar-Meyered body is found the next morning by Stella, who graciously gets her tits out for the occasion. Dr. Herschell determines that Cough died of ACUTE ALCOHOLISM, which apparently is known by Italian physicians to cause spontaneous being-boiled-alive-itis. This leads him to deliver the second-most quotable line in the movie: "It's clear that Mr. Cough's death was due to a fatality!" You know, Doc, I think you may have NAILED it there!
Meanwhile, Lydia is assigned to watch over Patrick while the doctor does his mad-doctory thing, and before long the horny terror is putting the telekinetic moves on her, asploding more glasses in her hand, typing messages like "I am waiting for you" on her office IBM Selectic, and hiking her skirt up with the power of his mind. (Note to self--subscribe to Pazzia Scienza Mensili STAT.)
Back at another distinctly Malabimbesque dinner scene, Stella comes in drunk and starts shit with the grieving widow Cough, leading to an energetic cat fight that coincidentally features a thinly veiled pussy. Embarassed by his friend's behavior, Suniak escorts Stella back to her room and pours all her J&B down the sink. When she tries to assuage him with sex, he replies archly, "I usually bang women, not whiskey bottles!" Stella shoots back that "The drugs have turned you into a faggot!" She shouldn't oughta said it, though, as Suniak blasts her with the all-time discussion ender prize-winner: "DIE ALONE, WHORE!"
Really, what can you say in response to that?
Things get sleazier and crazier at an alarming pace from here on out. Davis gets some disturbing messages from his inexplicable hobby-deck of tarot cards, Stella tries her seduction powers out on him only to get the shit slapped out of her repeatedly by the up-until-now hero of the piece, and Davis pays for his hooker-beatin' ways when Patrick forces him to hang himself over a well by a conveniently-placed steel hook through the neck!
Just when you think things couldn't get sleazier or more perverse, Stella goes down to the kitchen for a midnight snack and finds a flayed rabbit/dog/squirrel or something in the fridge--for no reason that's immediately apparent--and when Patrick finally gets around to doling out his telekinetic vengeance on the drunken former working girl...well, let's just say you might think twice before ordering the rotisserie chicken next time you're at the deli.
This movie just doesn't let up once it gets rolling, either. Patrick uses his psi-powers to summon Lydia to his room, plays Strip Nude for Your Paralytic, and engages her in hands-off psychic sex in a lengthy, awesome scene. Meanwhile Suniak and the Widow Cough try to escape, but the multi-tasking coma-god uses carbon monoxide and power-windows to make short work of them. It seems justice has been served, albeit with collateral damage (a medical technician is electocuted for no reason, and the presumably innocent Meg goes for a nude stroll and gets eaten by her dogs Jezebel-style), but when Papa Herschell informs his son that Lydia is also on the bottle-chucking shortlist, Patrick must decide whether to stick with the plan or make a last-minute revision to the scheme. No points for guessing which he goes for.
Patrick Still Lives is a movie so insane, it could really be the poster child for "Only in Italian Exploitation" category. Gore, nudity, perversity and wild plot-developments galore, the movie just keeps giving and giving it to you until the climactic non-ending wraps everything up in one sleaze-dripping package.
As if that weren't enough, the disc from Media Blasters/Shriek Show also offers an interview with producer Gabriele Crisanti (who also produced sleaze epics Malabimba the Malicious Whore, Satan's Baby Doll, Mondo Cane 3, and Burial Ground) who has a lot of interesting things to say about the production--for instance, that Stella's sleazetastic death scene was not scripted, but conceived on-set after the writer had a bitter argument with the actress. (FWIW, that TOTALLY makes sense.) There's also an interview with aging pop star and total man-of-leisure Gianni Dei, who despite his high-billing and massive immobile screentime admits that he doesn't even remember the movie.
So if you're a lover of Italian Sleaze, Gore, and Sexploitation films, Patrick Still Lives is really more than you could even ask for. An improvement on the original in every way, this one gets 3 thumbs for sheer audacity. See this one. You won't believe your floating green eyes.

Five Reasons to Heat Up Your Summer in Sacramento
If you came to San Francisco this summer dreaming of a California heat wave, you might be a little confused. Sure, SF's proud of its quirky weather patterns, which tend to bring sunshine in the fall and winter and chilly fog in the summer. But there's nothing wrong with looking a bit further afield when you need a little Vitamin D.
Enter California's State Capital, Sacramento. Just a few hours from San Francisco, Sacramento couldn't be more different when it comes to weather. In fact, this former Gold Rush town gets 285 days of sunshine per year, making it the perfect summer destination when you get a little too cold in the City by the Bay.
Best of all, it's easy and inexpensive to expand your visit to Northern California with a night or weekend in Sacramento. From San Francisco, the MegaBus line will take you to Sacramento in just under two hours for as little as $3. And once you get to town, HI-Sacramento's got you covered with Victorian mansion luxury at budget-friendly prices.
Still need more convincing? Read on for our five favorite reasons to visit Sacramento this summer!
The Breweries
Once you're in the land of the summer sun, cool off with a frosty local brew. Sacramento's home to a number of small-scale breweries perfect for thirsty travelers. At the River City Brewing Company, about a 15-minute walk from the hostel, get a taste of Sacramento with a pint of Sac Town Gold or Cap City IPA (pints are just $2.50 on Wednesdays from 6:00 p.m. 'til close). Over at the Hoppy Brewing Company, about a 30-minute bus ride from the hostel, mellow out with Liquid Sunshine Blonde Ale, Hoppy Face Amber Ale, or Total Eclipse Black Ale brewed on-site. Also a quick bus ride from the hostel, the New Helvetia Brewing Company was made for summer, with an outdoor courtyard perfect for libations under clear skies. The brewery's even been known to invite local food trucks to come by and join in the fun.
The Water
Sacramento may not be on the ocean, but it's still got plenty of ways for you to get out on the water this summer. Lake Natoma is a popular destination for locals looking to take out kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards. Rent your watercraft of choice at Sacramento State University's Aquatic Center, located right on the water about an hour's bus ride from HI-Sacramento. Kayak rentals start at just $10, SUP boards are $12.
Craving a little more movement? Better get yourself on the river. It's here that the American River meets the Sacramento River (after merging, they eventually flow to the San Francisco Bay). The waterways are popular local spots for both wild rafting trips and lazy days in an inner tube.
The Bicycling
When the weather's nice, even land-lubbers love heading to the American River. Along its banks you'll find the American River Parkway and its 30 miles of bike trails. If you get tired of pedaling, just stop off at one of the beaches or swimming holes you'll pass along the trails.
At Lake Natoma, rent bicycles from the Aquatic Center and hit the lakefront trails for a mere $8 per hour.
There are plenty of bike-friendly routes around the city, too, taking cyclists everywhere from historic sites to chic shopping districts. Bring your own bike to Sacramento and store it for free at the hostel, or rent one from nearby Practical Cycle and get 10% off just for being an HI-Sacramento guest.
The Summer Events
Feeling athletic this summer? Enter (or just watch) Eppie's Great Race, the only triathlon in the world in which kayaking replaces swimming, taking place this year on July 19. If the theater's more your cup of tea, you can take in an al fresco Bard production at the annual Sacramento Shakespeare Festival. And throughout the summer, marvel at the local talent during Second Saturday Art Walks, or free Friday night concerts in the park at Cesar Chavez Plaza.
The Food
Sacramento's been called everything from "Sac-a-tomatoes" to "America's Farm-to-Fork Capital," and at no time are these titles more deserved than during the summer. The region surrounding the city produces everything from walnuts to watermelons, organic eggs to grass-fed beef. And with about 8,000 acres of boutique farms nearby, more than 50 regional farmers' markets, and a restaurant scene that makes good use of it all, Sacramento makes it easy to sample the homegrown delicacies (to find out what's in season during your visit, check out this handy chart!)

Stay at HI-Sacramento, located in a gorgeously restored Victorian mansion in the heart of the State Capital.

The supposed "unflavored" variety smells very strongly of Vanilla, and I really dislike sweet vanilla scents. So that's a turn-off to me. It is very nicely slippery and doesn't get overly sticky, but dries up pretty quickly. I prefer Sliquid Organics lube, by far.
Looks: almost gel-like
Hand feel: Little to no stickiness (I'm certain it wasn't)
Mouthfeel: a little bit of an odd sort of tingle (noticeable but didn't bother me, unexpected though)
Scent: Can't decide if it's more vanilla extract or a type of vanilla frosting. (Will stick to your hands, I notice it if my hand is right up against my face.) Very pleasant. If you like Bath and Body Works' scents that are food based, you'll like it.
Taste: I didn't pick up a taste!
I don't have a super strong opinion about this product after using it 4 or 5 times. It's quite thick and I like the organic ingredients. One thing you should know is the the Almost Naked smells strongly of vanilla frosting! I don't mind it, but if i had known, I would've steered away.
Good Clean Love is the perfect lube! I'm post-menopausal & definitely need lube, & after much searching, this is the best I've found. I recommended it to my gynecologist & she's recommending it to other patients who need lube. I won't buy products tested on animals, so am happy that this is vegan & natural & (added bonus) made in the U.S.A. Also, Good Vibrations gives great service!
The Cinnamon Vanilla is the best tasting lube I've ever come across. It's got a delicious barely there flavor that's close to nothing. No nasty chemy taste. I love this stuff!
This lube is fantastic. I used it as an anal lube, and it works perfectly. It's kind of thick, more like a gel, but for people allergic to glycerine-based lubes, it does the job - naturally. Five stars!
I'm working my way through almost all these lubricants, this one is too slippery for me.
The Lavender rose scent doesn't remind me of Lavender or Rose as much as it does a sugary-sweet candy. The scent is very light, though. The taste is also a light afterthought. Just like with any lube, you don't want a mouthful but if you are to lick it, the taste is not terrible (whereas for many lubes I've tried in the past, the taste can be gag-worthy). It is an artificial taste with a very light, sweet aftertaste.
I love that this lube is thick. You can see in my picture that straight from the bottle, it doesn't become watery or thin out. This makes it very easy to coat the intended without unnecessary dripping and waste of lube. It also stays slippery for a long period of time, needing less to be applied during any given session. Combine that with the vegan-friendly, organic ingredients, and this is safe to call a great product. Overall, I am very pleased with Good Clean Love lube.
--from our reviewer, Love Lettr
Unlike a lot of lubricants I've used, Good Clean Love is thick like a gel. When dispensed onto your finger, it doesn't run or drip. It isn't greasy or sticky even when it dries out and doesn't stain. It lasts a fairly long time and can be reactivated with a little bit of water or saliva.
I liked this lubricant. I found it great for vaginal sex, regardless of whether my partner or a toy was penetrating me. A dollop was plenty to get my toys or my partner slick.
I loved how it was thick coming out of the bottle, yet not clumpy or thick when applied. Even though Almost Naked had a slight scent and taste, it was fresh and not very noticeable at all.
Almost Naked wasn't bad for anal sex. While it's not as thick or long lasting as some of the anal lubes I use, it kept things pretty slippery. We had to reapply it more during anal sex than vaginal, though, and this will be a lube we use more for vaginal penetration than anything else.
--from our reviewer, Fun with Sammi
I've tried the lavendar rose lube and loved it. Just the right amount of slickness with the lightest sweet taste. I love the clean packaging and non-sticky consistency!

Rutgers Athletic Director Committee Members Believe Process Rushed [POLL]
Emails by members of the Rutgers University 26-member Athletic Director search advisory committee indicate the search was not a smooth one as the school hires a company to help squelch the controversy surrounding the athletic department.
ESPN reports the emails show concern over properly vetting Julie Hermann who was hired to replace Tim Pernetti. She is scheduled to take over on June 17.
"With 13-15 committee members present at the interviews, and with each member needing to be given the opportunity to ask their own questions, and with Julie's interview starting more than 15 minutes late, there was little or no time to ask follow-up questions, or probe deeply," wrote committee member Ronald Garutti. "Please let's not present this as any kind of exemplary process. Subsequent events have proven otherwise."
Garutti, who is also on the university's board of trustees, told ESPN that only half the committee were able to meet with Hermann and Wisconsin's Sean Frazier, the other finalist for the position. He wondered in an email if the search committee needed to be so large.
"Strong Support For Julie"
Earlier, co-chairs Kate Sweeney and Richard Edwards tried to paint a picture of a smoother process. "As members of the Search Advisory Team, you all had the opportunity to examine Julie's credentials, to spend some time with her when she was on campus, and to provide us with your thoughts regarding her candidacy as Rutgers' next Director of Intercollegiate Athletics," they said in an email after the initial Star Ledger report about abuse and bullying during Hermann's tenure as head volleyball coach at the University of Tennessee.. "As you know, there was strong support for Julie, and for what she could bring to Rutgers."
The Asbury Park Press reports that Rutgers hired the Parker Executive Search firm to conduct a background check which did not find the coaching allegations in their investigation of Hermann.
Meanwhile, the Star Ledger reports that Rutgers has hired Hill + Knowlton, a crisis communications firm for $150,000. They were initially hired when the Mike Rice video controversy began.
Support For Reinstating Tim Pernetti
There is still support to bring Tim Pernetti back as Athletic Director. A member of the Rutgers board of trustees tells the New York Daily News there is still anger that he had to resign and take the fall for the Rice video. "He did all the work to get them into the Big 10 and was a standup guy," said the source, requesting anonymity because of the spotlight on the university. "They totally overdid it by firing him. He followed their procedure and did what he was supposed to (in the Rice case)."
The member says there is a battle between faculty who are happy to see the athletic department struggle and athletic boosters who want to see university president Robert Barchi be fired. "It's a big mess," said the souce.

Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, University of Texas at Austin
|Brian O'Nolan was born into the family of a civil servant in County Tyrone, Ireland, on 5 October 1911, the third of twelve children. After the family settled in Dublin in 1923 Brian attended school there, entering University College, Dublin in 1929. After receiving a B.A. degree (English, Irish, and German) and later an M.A., O'Nolan began eighteen years' employment in the Irish civil service in 1935. During the late 1930s he embarked on a literary career, writing a bilingual column for the Irish Times under the pseudonym Myles na Gopaleen and publishing his first (and best-known) novel At Swim-Two-Birds, in 1939 under the pseudonym Flann O'Brien.
|The outbreak of World War II drew attention away from what is arguably O'Nolan's major literary achievement, but he continued his newspaper column and wrote other novels: An Beal Bocht (The Poor Mouth), The Hard Life, The Dalkey Archive, and the posthumously-published The Third Policeman, actually written in 1940. Additionally he wrote Faustus Kelly and other dramatic pieces.
|While O'Nolan had enjoyed a continuing reputation among educated Irish, it was only upon the republication of At Swim-Two-Birds in 1960 that his broader fame began. A collection of his Irish Times pieces (edited by his brother Kevin O'Nolan) was published in 1968 as The Best of Myles. Brian O'Nolan died in Dublin on 1 April 1966.
|The Brian O'Nolan materials at the HRC comprise two series, Works (1934-1963) and Criticism (1989). The first of these, Works, embraces the manuscripts of two of his five novels, At Swim-Two-Birds and The Dalkey Archive, together with manuscript materials relating to his play Faustus Kelly.
|At Swim-Two-Birds is represented by two typescript drafts. The first of these contains extensive marginalia and holographic additions by the author. Thomas F. Shea, O'Nolan's biographer, has suggested this draft "was most likely composed between 1934 and 1937." The second typescript bears a signed note by the author indicating it is "the final version for Longmans Green," typed in 1937. Accompanying At Swim-Two-Birds are a group of clippings relating to that novel's 1960 republication, together with a note from O'Nolan to Niall Montgomery, dated 21 September 1960.
|The Dalkey Archive exists here in four drafts. The first, dated "November 1962... July 1963" is holographic; three typescripts are dated August, September, and October 1963. The first of these is identified as "first typescript," while the second is described as "first typescript drastically revised." The last typescript is bound in boards and dated October 1963 but otherwise unidentified as to priority.
|O'Nolan's play Faustus Kelly is represented by two manuscripts (each contained in a ruled notebook), together with a number of unbound leaves of dramatic writing for that 1943 play.
|The second series, Criticism, is represented by a typescript draft of Thomas F. Shea's Flann O'Brien's Exhorbitant Novels, which was published in 1992 by Bucknell University Press.

Skirt worked in pure silk satin face organza, and the body is in silk peau de seau. The skirt is simple and classic whit a 3 foot train, It has been cut in 7 pieces with a triangular shapes and gather on the upper hip. For a lovely flow, I put under the silk, 5 layers of fine tulle, and then then lining. The skirt has also a crinoline to give the fullness. The top part has been done totally by hand. I cut strips of peau de seau, 2"wide on the bies, foldem in half, iron them and hand sew them liberaly on a base that has a perfect fit. You can notice that the bodice DOES NOT have seams on the sides since it has been worked just in one complete piece, and the back is finishes with silk loops and covered buttons. Hope you enjoy it!!!
Material Notes
I love to mix different textures of silk. In this case the satin face organza and the peau de seau……

No, Bruise Angel is right—what a unique bodice and expertly done! Did you run into any major problems on the way?

Feb 5, 2010, 12.59 PMby Adriana Orozco
Thank you, thank you!!! the major problem is that I design it and did´nt know how to make it, and I had to "undo" the work a few times until I found a tecnique. It is difficult to make, takes hours + hours of work and patient, but I enjoy the challenge and the end result.
Feb 4, 2010, 10.07 PMby linalu

Here is a close up of the bodice. Actually it is quite complicated to do, because is like a jig saw puzle. You have to imagen where will be the best area to start with….and then with the folded ribbons, just start sewin them by hand, one-by-one, making sure that the next one will cover the hand stitch…also you have to measure the widh to try to make them all the same widh….I wish I had video the work while I was doing it…..or….just come over to Costa Rica and I will show you how I did it!!!!

|A screen shot from there
With quick search on eBay , you will find more than 1,000 artifacts for sale. Some of these artifacts are being listed by companies like Art Ancient LTD. Art Ancient LTD is a British company that works online in trading ancient artifacts from around the globe. It guarantees the legality of the artifacts it trades.
There are also items listed by ancient-artefacts.com that directs you to Antiquities.co.uk.
If I am not mistaken trading in Egyptian artifacts officially had been banned in Egypt since the second half of the 19th century.
I wrote before on how our ancient Egyptian heritage is being sold in international auctions. I will not deny that Egypt stopped some auctions in the past, but now it is getting ridiculous .. eBay for God sake !! What next we found our ancient Egyptian artifacts being sold on Craigslist !!
Already now the lazy ministry of antiquities began to act against some auction in Jerusalem showing some of the artifacts from different ancient eras.

Sophomore receiver Aden Twer caught a 32-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Kody Smith as time expired, and Gettysburg held off a furious Ursinus rally to win 40-34 in the Centennial Conference opener for both teams at a hot and humid Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium.
Gettysburg (1-1, 1-0 CC), which was also playing its home opener, led 34-10 midway through the third quarter before Ursinus (0-2, 0-1 CC) rallied with 24 unanswered points, scoring three touchdowns and converting the two-point conversion on all three. Quarterback Chris Curran capped the rally with a 1-yard touchdown run – his second of the game – with 47 seconds left before running in the conversion himself, setting up a wild finish.
On just five catches, Twer finished with 179 yards and tied a school record with three touchdowns receptions on distances of 81, 43, and 32 yards. Smith threw for 291 yards and four touchdowns – both career highs – on 13-of-22 passing while junior tailback Ted Delia rushed for a career-best 86 yards on 12 carries for Gettysburg, which never trailed.
Win the victory, the Bullets won both their home and conference openers for the first time since 2007.
The two teams continued their history of shootouts after Ursinus won 49-39 last season and 55-50 in 2009.
"We needed a touchdown," said Twer. "Kody came into the huddle and said 'This is what's going to happen. I'm throwing a fade, and I'm throwing it to you, Twer.'
"As I turned back for the ball and tried to get into the air, I think the defender hit me a little bit and I fell down, so I caught it down low," Twer explained.
"It was just excitement," he said, on his big catch. "We had just won the game, and that was the most important thing. My teammates came running and piled up on me. It was great."
Bryan Ellis rushed for 130 yards on 30 carries for the Bears while Curran finished with 183 yards and one touchdown on 16-of-36 passing.
Gettysburg outgained Ursinus 461-307.
"It was exciting – probably the biggest play of my life," said Smith. "I got to the line and saw that the cornerback pressed on Aden, and I thought in my mind, 'we've got this.' The o-line gave me time, I threw it up, and Aden caught it."
"He's the fastest guy on our team," said Gettysburg head coach Barry Streeter on Twer. "He has good hands, and he had already made some big plays. The ball was up high enough that he could get up over the top and make the catch. That's a big, big play – if that goes to overtime who knows what happens."
Following Curran's game-tying touchdown and two-point conversion, the Bullets received the ball at their own 40 after the kickoff went out of bounds. Smith rushed for 12 yards on the first play of the drive before hitting freshman receiver Bobby Romano with an 8-yard pass to the Ursinus-40. Then on a third-and-two, Delia rushed for eight yards to pick up a first down.
The Bullets called their final timeout with five seconds left before Smith connected with a well-covered Twer, who grabbed the Hail Mary pass out of the air before falling into the left side of the end zone for the game-winner.
Senior safety Peter Hak made a career-high 15 tackles and added a safety for Gettysburg while junior linebacker Mark Covington added a career-best 10 stops for the Bullets.
The Bullets never trailed after senior Rob Pennella converted his first collegiate field goal – a 21-yarder with 11:16 left in the opening quarter. Gettysburg had a first-and-goal at the Ursinus-1 but the Bears stuffed three consecutive rushes.
Gettysburg added to its lead when sophomore tailback Malcolm Perry ran for a 1-yard touchdown – his first collegiate TD – with 7:06 on the first-quarter clock. The snap never got down in time on the extra point, making it a 9-0 game.
The Bears got on the scoreboard when Michael Bennett kicked a 21-yard field goal with 1:02 left in the quarter. However, it took the Bullets only one play to answer, as Smith launched a bomb down the left sideline to Twer, who raced in for an 81-yard touchdown reception. Pennella's extra point made it 16-3 with 41 ticks showing.
Curran's first TD run cut it to 16-10 with 8:04 left in the first half before the Bullets reeled off an 18-0 run spanning the second and third quarters. Pennella knocked through his second field goal – this one from 34 yards – to make it a 19-10 game at the half.
Ursinus received the second-half kickoff, but on the third play of the drive senior cornerback Tyler Fasanella came up with an interception at the Bear-43. The Smith-Twer connection struck again on the very next play, with Smith finding a wide-open Twer down the right sideline off a fake pitch. The 43-yard touchdown pass put Gettysburg up 26-10 with 13:10 left in the third quarter.
The Bullets extended their lead to 28-10 four plays into the ensuing drive. Ursinus lined up to punt at its own 35, but a bad snap rolled all the way into the end zone, where Hak and several defenders tackled punter Derek Giannetti.
Gettysburg enjoyed its largest lead of the game with 8:53 to go in the third quarter, when freshman wing Freddy Caruso scored on a nice catch-and-run down the right sideline from 23 yards out. The extra point was missed, making it a 34-10.
Fullback Teddy Conrad capped a 71-yard Ursinus drive with an 8-yard touchdown run with 4:45 left in the quarter before Curran hit Seth Cardene on the conversion. Then after the Bears forced a three-and-out, Curran tossed a 33-yard touchdown pass to Al Desiderio, and his conversion pass to Nick Giarratano made it a one-possession game (34-26) with 2:35 leftin the third quarter.
Both defenses stepped up in the fourth quarter, as the first five drives resulted in either a punt, turnover on downs, or an interception. The Bears received an excellent scoring opportunity when a Chris Salaga interception gave his team that ball at the Gettysburg-19 with 7:05 on the clock, but Gettysburg's defense held strong. With the Bears facing a fourth-and-seven at the Bullet-16, Covington broke up a pass with a bone-jarring hit in the backfield to give his team the ball on downs. But Gettysburg went three-and-out before Ursinus drive 51 yards on seven plays for its game-tying drive.
Senior linebacker Marc Graziano, senior safety Joe Delaney, and senior defensive end Chris Douthett added nine tackles apiece for the Bullets while linebacker Greg Martel made eight stops for Ursinus.

The Health Adventure is looking for a new location after receiving word Friday that Biltmore Square Mall will be converted to an outdoor outlet center.
The Health Adventure is looking for a new location after receiving word Friday that Biltmore Square Mall will be converted to an outdoor outlet center, according a news release issued Saturday by the nonprofit interactive science and health museum.
The Health Adventure moved from downtown Asheville to the Biltmore Square Mall in November 2011 and has since experienced increased growth in visitation and memberships.
The exact date that The Health Adventure will move from Biltmore Square has not yet been determined, but mall management has set a Dec. 31 deadline for occupants to vacate the space, according to the release.
"The Health Adventure is grateful to all of our members, visitors and supporters and will keep everyone updated as plans for a new location are developed," Executive Director Paige Wheeler said in the prepared statement. "We knew at some point that the mall would be redeveloped, and we had hoped to be part of the new center. At this time, we are aware that we will need to relocate, and we want to be proactive with our constituents and let everyone know that we are looking forward to being at our current location as long as we can and we will be searching for a new, permanent home."
The Health Adventure will be operating as usual, and all memberships will continue to be honored as well as field trips and public programming, the release states.
The Health Adventure, which was founded 45 years ago, emerged from bankruptcy in 2011. Dr. Mark Knollman, chairman of the Board of Advisors, stated, "We are looking at this opportunity in a positive way for us to develop our own space and a definitive home. We appreciate the community's continued support as we search for a new location. We would love to have a space that is comparable to our mall location with open square footage, ample parking, and easy accessibility. "
The Health Adventure is open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 12:30-6 p.m. Sundays. Biltmore Square Mall is off Interstate 26 at exit 33. For more information visit thehealthadventure.org or call 828-665-2217.

A president's priorities become clearer at budget time, even if Congress eventually rearranges things entirely. And that's true about the place of energy and climate change in President Bush's spending plan for next year.
Coal and nuclear power see big boosts in the 2009 Energy Department budget request sent to Congress Monday, and Mr. Bush is again calling for oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The budget favors nuclear and "clean coal" options over renewable power sources, McClatchy Newspapers noted.
"President Bush proposed large increases for nuclear energy and for capturing and storing carbon from coal-burning power plants in his 2009 budget requests for funding to combat climate change. At the same time, though, his budget would cut money for solar energy research and would provide only a small increase for other renewable-energy programs."
Clean-energy advocates might wince at the emphasis on coal, oil, and nuclear power. But a big chunk of the energy budget proposal is for finding ways to reduce coal's greenhouse-gas emissions. Reuters reports:
"Capturing carbon emissions from coal plants and socking them away in underground reservoirs was at the top of the [Energy] department's 2009 priority list. Carbon sequestration research received $400 million in funds, along with $241 million for demonstration projects."
The president also increased spending for earth-monitoring satellites, which are important for collecting information about global warming, including data on things like soil moisture content and ice packs.
The budget boost comes after several years of cuts in funding that the National Academy of Sciences had warned would make the US unprepared for "collecting vital information about global warming ." National Aeronautics and Space Administration sciences chief Alan Stern told the Associated Press:
"Think of NASA's blue logo as turning a little bit greener. We are amping up our emphasis on Earth sciences."
Green energy programs – conservation and renewables – fared less well in Bush's budget proposal, points out an online story from National Public Radio.
"Despite the president's more aggressive statements on fighting climate change, his budget request would reduce funding for energy efficiency and renewable energy – such as wind, solar, etc. The president gets much of that reduction by slashing funding – from $280 million to $60 million – for low-income households to 'weatherize' their homes with new windows, better insulation, and other efforts."
Many congressional Democrats, as well as community activists, are not happy.
Said David Bradley, executive director of the National Community Action Foundation, an advocate for programs serving low-income Americans, in a press release:
"In the face of rising energy costs, it is absurd that the President would propose to reduce help for the poorest energy consumers and to do less to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse emissions of low-income households."
Other critics point out the difference between the president's recent State of the Union message and what he's willing to spend. Said Kateri Callahan, president of the Alliance to Save Energy, in a press release:
"The president called for continued US leadership in developing energy-efficiency technologies and in using energy efficiency to help reduce greenhouse gases, Yet [Bush's] budget request confounds the president's own rhetoric by reducing funding for key energy-efficiency and research and development programs...."
In an election year, it's not surprising that members of Congress are pushing local and regional issues – corn-based ethanol in the Midwest, oil and gas in the Rocky Mountain states – in federal spending plans to be crafted on Capitol Hill.
Democrats also want tax breaks for green energy as part of an economic stimulus package, reports the Los Angeles Times :
"As Senate Democrats push ahead with legislation to blunt a possible recession, they are trying to get support for tax breaks for wind-farm developers, builders of more efficient appliances, and businesses that install fuel cells. It is unclear whether there is sufficient GOP support to make the incentives part of a stimulus package.... But the proposed benefits for green energy mark another advance for an industry that is becoming one of the darlings of Democratic-controlled Capitol Hill."
The administration's budget request also cuts $202 million for public transportation and transfers about $3.2 billion in public transit money to highway projects. Says William Millar, president of the American Public Transportation Association, in a press release:
"The Administration proposal would reduce the balance in the Mass Transit Account to the point where, absent new funding, the federal transit program could not be funded in 2010 at even the current level."
On one thing everybody agrees: Production of federal budget documents this year – four hefty volumes totaling more than 2,000 pages – gives a break to carbon-absorbing forests. The Wall Street Journal reports.
"In years past, the White House's Office of Management and Budget distributed about 3,000 copies of the budget free to media outlets, congressional offices, and elsewhere in the capital. This year, those folks must buy a printed copy or access one free online. The change is expected to drive down demand for hard copies of the budget, sparing an estimated 20 tons of paper, or 480 trees...."

Michigan Race Preview
Granite Stripe (2013, Ep. 25): Michigan
The Granite Stripe gives an in-depth look at the state of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series as it heads to Michigan International Speedway. Check out the broadcast, podcast, fantasy preview and thoughts from the blog.
Listen to the podcast (2013, Ep. 25): Stewart's Injury, Hendrick Visits NHMS
Jonathan and Gavin catch up on the past two weeks in the Sprint Cup Series, debate Tony Stewart's injury, share audio from Hendrick Motorsports and make picks for Michigan.
Set your fantasy lineup with the preview: The Pure Truth About Michigan
#16 Greg Biffle - He's won the last two races at Michigan. Need I say more?
Check out your favorite driver's nickname in "Name That Driver"
1. Jimmie "Boring" Johnson - It's the ultimate compliment for the current NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points leader. With more wins, more top-10s and more laps led than anyone on tour, Johnson has monotonously stamped his name as the favorite going into the Chase for the championship.
Join the debate on sub-series races with "Tony Stewart's Injury Evaluation"
To put it simply, Stewart can do what he wants, and he does. He's an independent-minded person and that mentality has endeared him to race fans for the better part of two decades. The reality, however, is that this injury is irresponsible and unfair.

Elizabeth Taylor's burial at Forest Lawn Glendale brought back a lot of memories for my mother and I. My mother's family, the Forgeys, basically lived next door to Forest Lawn in the 1930's. The cemetery was a source of entertainment for the family. My grandmother Forgey would take walks through the cemetery with her children. My grandmother Forgey loved the movies and occasionally they would spot a movie star visiting a grave or even see famous people attending a funeral.
My mother and her siblings often played at the cemetery and sometimes took flowers off the graves and gave them to my grandmother :D. They could be naughty! One of the most interesting stories is how they were locked in the cemetery when they stayed too long one evening. Sounds like the 5 Forgey children were having a jolly time stealing flowers etc. and forgot the time. When they discovered they got locked in they walked all over the cemetery looking for another way out. When it started getting dark they became frightened about bats possibly attacking them and ghosts coming out to the graves. My mother talked about how they started getting panicky and got their shoes stuck in the flower holders. Luckily my grandparents noticed their absence and contacted the cemetery attendant who searched for them. The group was very happy to see the attendant and they all piled into his truck.
