""Show What You Know With Media" is a book series and website created by Dr. Wesley Fryer to serve as a menu, handbook, andmap for teacher-leaders and learners in the twenty-first century who seek to develop digital literacies as multimedia communicators and help students "show what they know with media." * Mapping Media to the Curriculum (Volume I) explores the first six products in the framework: Interactive Writing, Narrated Art, Radio Shows, 5 Photo Stories, Visual Notetaking, and Narrated Slideshows / Screencasts. Videos in each chapter (hosted on YouTube) are directly linked for compatible eReaders and also linked via QR codes, so readers can optionally use a smartphone to view them."

The Padagogy Wheel is designed to help educators think – systematically, coherently, and with a view to long term, big-picture outcomes – about how they use mobile apps in their teaching. The Padagogy Wheel is all about mindsets; it's a way of thinking about digital-age education that meshes together concerns about mobile app features, learning transformation, motivation, cognitive development and long-term learning objectives.

In iOS 9, the iPad is gaining a feature that will completely change the way a lot of us use our tablets, introducing functionality that will make it much easier to use the iPad as a serious computer replacement. That feature, which has been much-desired for several years now, is multitasking.

Skitch is a fantastic tool for annotating images. It enables the user to precisely point to features of interest and add text. There are many ways this could be used. One instance is like the image above where I have added key questions to an image. This provides more focus than merely presenting a blank image and prompts discussion. Following on from this, I have given learners the blank background image and asked them to annotate theirs by answering the questions. Alternatively, a teacher could present a blank image and ask students to identify the key features and annotate it live, based on students feedback. Although this could have traditionally been done by projecting an image and annotating it using a whiteboard marker, the great thing about Skitch is that all of that great feedback is not lost: it's stored in a clear way which can then be distributed to students as a point of reference.

In the 1:1 Chromebook classroom, we don't use Apps, but rather Chrome extensions. I was looking for a way for students to annotate images, and this app led me back to Evernote Web Clipper. We'll be evaluating this and other extensions with similar function for the next school year.

"These days, very little comes out of Hollywood without special effects added in post-production. Our favorite superhero movies, science fiction thrillers and fast-paced action movies just wouldn't be the same without them. However, these video effects are no longer the preserve of video professionals. Technology has advanced quickly, and you can now replicate these very same effects to make photos and videos come to life on your iPad. Here's how."

|How it Works

As is so often the case the search for one little fact led to much more work than I had anticipated.
I wanted to find out where Ann GEERING (the daughter of my 5x great grandparents James and Ann GEERING) was born. She was baptised in the parish church at Hailsham, Sussex on the 26th April 1806, but the parish register recorded that she was actually born on the 18th September 1803.
The parish register didn't say where she had been born, but as her other three siblings were baptised in Hailsham in a timely manner it seemed likely that the family weren't at home when Ann was born and they waited until they got back home to have her baptised, at the same time as her younger brother (who was nine months old when he was baptised).
Having found a likely suspect for Ann GEERING in Brighton, Sussex (working as a servant) I had to set about proving it was in fact her. Fortunately in 1861 she was living with James and Margaret GEERING and she was listed as James' aunt.
I then had to find out who James GEERING was. I followed him through the census, his first wife died and he remarried and finally in 1911, after he had been widowed for a second time, he was living in Lewes, Sussex with his brother Mark Anthony GEERING.
As you might imagine there haven't been that many Mark Anthony GEERINGs in the world, but I do have one in my family tree and all the details matched. James and Mark Anthony's father was Richard GEERING, sister of the Ann GEERING I was looking for.
Success at last, and I now know that Ann GEERING was born in Heathfield, Sussex (perhaps a dozen or so miles north of Hailsham where she was baptised) or at least she thought that she was born there. What the family were doing there will probably remain a mystery unless some other connection emerges further down the line.
Next steps….
I need to check to make sure that I have checked the parish registers for Heathfield. I have searched FamilySearch and the SFHG Data Archive but I need to check that Heathfield is included in one of these and if so what time period is covered.
I am not sure who or what I would be looking for, probably other GEERINGs and maybe some HOWLETTs in the registers. I would probably have found a marriage for James and Ann if it had been in Heathfield because the SFHG marriage index covers all of Sussex up to 1837, but it would be a perfect place to look for the older Ann's baptism.

If last Saturday was Genealogy Saturday then this Saturday was Non-Genealogy Saturday. It wasn't intentional, but other things just got in the way, at least I hadn't really planned to do any serious family history otherwise I would have been annoyed.
First on the agenda was collecting a bookcase with my brother and his van. I was very kindly offered a second-hand bookcase, which is a great improvement on my existing bookcases, and I think it means I actually gain a bit of shelf space into the bargain.
Once we had collected the bookcase I spent some time giving it a clean, before starting on the rest of the housework. After a quick bite to eat for lunch, I was again off out with my brother over to Haywards Heath for the monthly postcard fair.
I was really after some more pages for my postcard album as I have about 50 to 60 cards that are waiting to be put away. We didn't really have long over there, but I managed to find one superb card for my main collection, but very little else caught my eye.
After stopping for some shopping and visiting my godfather on the way home, I was in need of some proper food and drink. Although I am not sure that a bowl of tomato soup and some bread rolls really count as proper food.
Then I spent about an hour and a half in the evening polishing the bookcase. It is now ready to replace the existing bookcase in the hallway, which in turn will replace the small bookcase in the spare bedroom, which will probably be dismantled and stored in the shed. That is probably going to be tomorrow's job.
Although I was busy today and didn't really have time to sit down and do any serious family history, when I think about it most of what I did was related in some way to family history. Most of the books that will go on the bookcase are about family or local history and of course at the postcard fair I was looking for places with a family connection. Most of the postcards that need putting in an album are connected in some way to my family history.
So I guess in a way I have been working indirectly on my family tree today.

Today's blog is being updated by Trey Scott, an associate reporter at MLB.com
Round 16 (No. 498): With their first pick of Day 3 of the 2012 First-Year Player Draft, the Rockies selected Jeffrey Popick, a leftfielder from Colorado Mesa. Popick had a .424/.524/.663 slash line his senior year, drove in 65 RBIs and recored 27 extra-base hits.
Round 17 (No. 528): Clemson catcher Jason Stolz, who played multiple infield positions in college and hit .270 with seven homers his senior season.
Round 18 (No. 558): Another catcher, Aaron Jones of Oregon, a draft-eligible sophomore. He hit .303 and drove in 39 runs this past season.
Round 19 (No. 588): Kyle Newton, a 5-11, 185-pound third basman, transferred to Florida Atlantic after having success at South Florida community college. This past season, he hit .311 with 13 doubles, seven home runs and 34 RBIs for FAU.

Round 21 (No. 648): Right-hander Ryan Gonzalez was the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference player of the year in 2012, when he led Bethune-Cookman to NCAA Regional play as a senior by going 9-2 with a 2.14 ERA — a big bounce-back after missing the early part of his junior year with a shoulder injury. His father played briefly in the Red Sox's organization.
Round 22 (No. 678): Jordan Mejia is a 6-2, 185-pound right-hander who helped Riverside (Calif.) Community College to Southern California Super Regional play.

Round 24 (738): Marshall lefty Mike Mason opened some eyes last summer in the Northwoods League by striking out 11 in 10 1/3 innings for Madison (Wisc.). He went 4-6 with a 4.15 ERA in 14 starts at Marshall this past season.
Round 25 (768): Fresno Pacific Univeristy shortstop Alec Mehrten earned Golden State Athletic Conference honors by hitting .304 and posting a .932 fielding percentage as a senior.
Round 26 (798): Adam Paulencu is a right-handed pitcher who was drafted by the Giants last year in the 13th round. The senior went 8-3 with a 2.86 ERA, and had a 1.3 strikeout-to-walk ratio with Embry-Riddle University in 2012.
Round 27 (828): Matt Flemer was drafted in the 19th round after helping California to an improbable College World Series berth in 2011. This year, the right-handed pitcher held opponents to a .242 batting average and allowed 32 earned runs in 111 2/3 innings (2.58 ERA.
Round 28 (858): The Rockies are loading up on right-handed pitchers as Justin Arrowood becomes the third such prospect taken in a row. Arrowood had a perfect record in 2012, finishing 11-0 with a 3.81 ERA.
Round 29 (888): Patrick Hutcheson is a lefty-hitting second baseman from Fresno State who hit .290 with five homers and 13 stolen bases.
Round 30 (918): Trent Blank, a right-handed pitcher, is a big reason why Baylor is playing in the Super Regionals this weekend. The senior went 10-1 with a 2.32 ERA and held opponents to a .240 batting average.
Round 31 (948): The Rockies have done well with the Long Beach State pipeline (Troy Tulowitzki) and they go to it again, picking right-handed pitcher Shawn Stuart, who was 7-1 with a 2.44 ERA, holding opponents to a .213 batting average.
Round 32 (978): Austin Simcox, a 6'3″ shortstop from Farragut High School in Tennessee. Simcox bats and throws right-handed.
Round 33 (1008): Ryan Garvey, son of Dodgers great Steve Garvey, transferred from Southern Cal to Riverside Community College three months into his freshman year in order to focus more on baseball and be eligible for the draft after just one season. Garvey, who was drafted by the Phillies in the 15th round last year, hit .261 with 22 RBIs.
Round 34 (1038): Chris Cowell, a 6'4″ catcher from the University of Richmond, had a .643 slugging percentage with 20 homers and 58 RBIs.
Round 35 (1068): Justin Solomon, a right-handed second baseman from Piedra Vista High School in New Mexico.
Round 36 (1098): Kevin Bradley, a switch-hitting shortstop from Hopewell Valley in New Jersey.
Round 37 (1128): Casey Burns, a right-handed third baseman from Grand Junction High School. Burns has signed at St Mary's in California.
Round 38 (1158): Dansby Swanson, a shortstop from Marietta High School in Georgia, is considered a likely candidate to pass up the draft no matter the round — he's a Vanderbilt signee. According to the scouting report, Swanson has "very little power, but makes consistent, solid contact."
Round 39 (1188): Justin Dillon, an 18-year old right-handed pitcher from El Dorado High in California. Dillon has signed at Sacramento State.
Round 40 (1218): With their final pick in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft, the Rockies selected Brandon Montalvo, a catcher from Langham Creek High School in Texas. Montalvo has signed with Blinn College.

With all the news about Turk, this almost slipped by unnoticed. I guess Doc likes what he sees from Morris more.
With the signing of Turkoglu, does Clipper Nation lose any Armenian brothers?
Morris is a stop gap. In 10 days we will have another PG signed for 10 more days.
The sad thing is I guess this means no backup big til CP3 is back.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if Wayns is back after Morris' ten day is over. Morris already has shown interest in playing overseas, and am pretty sure if or when we cut him he will be signing overseas.
@clipnasty I think you hit the nail on the head about not going for a backup big until CP is back.
If we sign Dirk do we lose all the Jews? If we sign a white guy from Mississippi do all the black guys leave?
Dude, Hedo had nothing to do with it.
The only possible exception is the Kardasians
If we sign a Mexican guy and he brings his grandmother's menudo will we all leave
After five minutes of retching - Hell Yes
I'm Armenian, and I was joking about irhat earlier. I don't care I just think he is done as a player. I hope he proves me wrong. Pudding want the signing for basketball reasons but now that he is here I support him and wish him well.

STEVE LEWIS/Durango Herald
Downtown Durango took on an apocalyptic appearance Christmas Day, with Main Avenue shops almost uniformly closed.
Men of unsure footing, dilated pupils and reddened cheeks were seen struggling � both physically and conceptually � with El Rancho�s locked door as early as 11:30 a.m.
The few stores to sally on with commerce benefitted from Durangoans� usual consumer habits being discombobulated by scarcity.
While Steaming Bean Coffee Co., Durango Coffee Co. and Durango Joe�s were shuttered for Christmas Day, Starbucks was like Grand Central Station. At times, as many as 30 people were lined up, with regulars eagerly demanding their precise concoction while orphans of locally owned caf�s hesitantly stammered unfamiliar words for sizes.
At Gaslight Twin Cinemas, regional manager Tyler Matthew Ozva, a 19-year-old chemical engineering major at Fort Lewis College, said the matinee performance for �Les Mis�rables� had sold out.
Ozva said he didn�t mind working the holiday with two colleagues, as it allowed the other manager to spend Christmas with his relatives. Ozva said his family exchanged gifts Christmas morning, and one gift had particularly delighted him � a magazine about how to cook 120 recipes for breakfast and brunch.
Like Ozva, Elena Breed, who was working the front desk at the Strater Hotel Tuesday, said she�d decided to work on the holiday �mainly because most of my co-workers have family and children, whereas I�m still a child myself.� She said the hardship had its upside: Guests tended to be �friendlier than usual� when talking on the phone.
Meanwhile, at the Strater�s restaurant, the Mahagony Grille, preparations were under way for a bustling night. Manager Aaron Brandes said his staff of 10 servers, 20 cooks and three bartenders would serve between 275 and 350 people Tuesday evening.
�In the restaurant business, you can�t get this night off. Along with New Year�s and Thanksgiving, these are the biggest nights,� Brandes said.
Brandes said that of the three blockbuster holidays, Christmas tended to be the least sodden.
�It�s mellower because of kids and young adults,� he said.
At Orio�s Roadhouse, a Main Avenue bar, Christmas Day brought both tradition and newness. Longtime manager John Danch said the bar opened at 3 p.m., and he expected about 50 people to come in that evening.
�Mostly, they�re regulars who come here to see their friends, like extended family,� said Danch, who cheerfully was covering for out-of-town employees.
At 3 p.m., about nine people had settled in to barstools at the Roadhouse. One woman interrupted her reading to sip red wine, while two men amiably chatted about their jobs over whiskey. The place seemed to vibrate with ersatz family and Christmas cheer as Danch traded warm familiarities with an elderly regular.

I first bought these blushes from the Hautelook sale at 40% off and swatched Call Me and Kinky in this post. Then, the next time the sale came around, I decided to buy X-Rated, All Nighter, Bedroom, and Lust as well since I was so impressed with the quality of the first two. A reader e-mailed me to let me know that Hautelook will be having Rock & Republic Beauty sale again on Monday, 7/12 so I thought it would be a great time to post all of my collection and swatches.
If you haven't already signed up for Hautelook, click here for an invite. Note: Hautelook does give a store credit to the inviter after the invitee's first purchase, but as always I only post when there is actually an event I am personally buying from too. Gotta share those good deals! ;)
As an all-encompassing statement, I will say that this blush line is one of the best quality blushes that I've come across. They are gorgeously pigmented, finely milled, and are long-lasting. The actual amount of product in the pan is literally 2x the amount in a NARS blush, so they last forever. I don't even want to start on the packaging! It's weighty, shiny, and just over-the-top decadent which I LOVE.
The only downsides to these blushes are the availability (You can only buy it online and at R&R specialty stores, or occasional Hautelook sales) and the price (Original retail price is $40. Ouch!) But as I mentioned before, I got mine through Hautelook where they were $24 and compared to NARS blushes which retail at $26, it's quite a nice deal.
So with no further ado, here are the swatches which can explain 100x better than words can. :)
Each blush in biggins glory. So you can see the pretty shimmers. ^O^
Call Me
All Nighter
Check out the adorable necklace I bought from Lisa HQCD's store. I freakin' love the silver branch. Oh, and the watch I'm wearing in the video is from Juny's and the polish I'm wearing is Revlon Petal Peach.
Anyway, hope that was helpful if any of you are deciding to buy something from Monday's Hautelook sale. Let me know if you decided to get something or if you already have any Rock & Republic stuff! Any other suggestions of colors I should get this time?
Hope you guys have a fantastic weekend. :)

lets start a fantasy basketball league if there is one then im sorry but yeah just trying to organize it asap
What is a fantasy league I don't get it!
I've only done this once, but from what I've learned, you're basically role playing as an owner. You pick your best players to form a team. Mind the cash limit that is imposed upon you. When the players actually play, you gain points for scoring, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks plus bonuses for triple doubles and the like.
When I was with DraftStreet for a little bit, I came up with an idea of a draft bonus. If one person builds a team that ends up producing the maximum points possible, the cash prize increases, and the top select drafters will earn a cash bonus.
Are you guys doing this fantasy league for real cash? I might be able to help you out on some things.
im down
I'd do it but I get in a big money league every single year that is highly competitive, and actually takes up a decent amount of time. + I am also in the CTB Football league and I don't wanna be spreading myself out in numerous leagues.
sign me up!
long time lurker and member haha but anyways i had the though of haveing a fantasy baskeetbal league with you guys. anybody interested? we can draft before the season starts. its just for fun just reply if you are interested
yahoo btw head to head 9 cat
I am in 2 FL already, one with Yahoo and One with ESPN... I don't mind a 3rd.. shoot me an email once you set it up.
I'd be down. My friends opted not to start a league this year and I haven't found another yet.
Count me in!
how would that work. I have heard of fantasy league but never been involved so i am not sure how it works, but it sounds interesting.
There is an overview.
If anyone is looking to join a fantasy league, let me know.
I'm trying to round up a good group of people who will actually play (it's more fun that way...).
I'm imagining a $50 buy-in with the grand prize being two tickets to the playoff game of the winner's choice (best seats we can buy with the budget). Or, if that doesn't work out for some reason, the money could go toward a trip to Vegas or something. (If you're uncomfortable with the financial dealings, I'll be at the Halloween game and we can meet to set your mind at ease).

Thursday, July 24, 2014
A 28-year-old Murrells Inlet woman said her ex-boyfriend, also 28, called her July 8 and got angry with her.
He then sent a nude photo of the woman to her fiance.
The woman told deputies she had no idea her ex had the picture and is scared he will send it to other people.
She said her ex got mad when she informed him she is happy and is getting married. She asked the man to leave her alone.
Her fiance called her the next morning about the photo he received.
The deputy spoke with the womans fiance and asked to see the text conversation he had with the suspect without showing him the nude photo.
The witness showed me the picture anyway, the deputy noted.
The man said the picture was sent to him after he sent the ex a text demanding he cease communications with his wife-to-be.
The woman said she does want to prosecute. She said she is unsure where the suspect is living. She said at one point he was living in his dads garage in Myrtle Beach.
Woman harassed
Another Murrells Inlet woman, age 24, says her ex-boyfriend a 36-year-old Myrtle Beach man has been harassing her and her current boyfriend via email, text and phone.
She showed me some of the emails he had sent which contained sexually explicit text and images, the deputy wrote.
The officer made contact with the suspect and warned him if he made any further contact with the woman or her boyfriend he would be charged with illegal use of a telephone.
Tractor saves vehicles
First it was a golf cart that got stuck. Then, a tow truck that was trying to retrieve the golf cart got stuck.
It happened July 14 on the beach in the 1100 block of South Waccamaw Drive.
Someone called 911 and reported there was a golf cart on the beach near the water and the tide was coming in.
When the deputy arrived he saw the golf cart but an owner was no where to be found.
He called for help and a four-wheel drive tow truck was driven to the scene by Low Country Tops and Wrecker.
The tow truck got stuck in the sand so a tractor was brought to the beach to remove the truck and the golf cart.
There was apparently a good reason the person who drove the cart on the beach fled the scene. It was reported stolen out of Horry County.
Missing horse found
A carousel horse was reported stolen from behind Pinnacle Construction in the 4500 block of Highway 17 Business in Murrells Inlet July 10, but it may have been a misunderstanding.
The complainant gave deputies a description of the person she believed took the horse, valued at $800.
The officers were able to track down that mans address and went to his home and found the merry-go-round horse in his garage.
The man admitted taking the horse but said he did so because he had a phone conversation with the owners about a month ago about buying it.
The owners said they would not press charges since the man agreed to return the horse.
Theft from vehicles
A Smith and Wesson .380 handgun was reported stolen from a vehicle.
The owner, from Monroe, N.C., was vacationing at a home in the 500 block of South Waccamaw Drive when he discovered the gun and holster were missing from his vehicle.
A woman from West Union, S.C. was vacationing in the 1400 block of South Waccamaw Drive when someone went into a Honda Civic and took an Ipod Touch and $245 in cash.
The victim said the vehicle had been left unlocked and that it was strange that an Iphone and another Ipod that were in the vehicle were not taken.
A man from Pittsburgh reported his checkbook, a bag of fishing lures and seven fishing rods were taken from his vehicle parked at a home in the 1000 block of South Waccamaw Drive.
A bank bag containing $2,500 was taken from an Acura parked in the 1300 block of South Waccamaw Drive. The victim who reported the theft is a woman from Mount Pleasant.
Tired of the poop
A man from the 1100 block of Burgess Road said the woman who lives in an adjacent apartment has been bringing her dog on his property to do its business.
The man says he has no trespassing signs posted and has filed several reports about the incidents taking place,
The deputy attempted to make contact with the woman with negative results.
Bike theft
A North Carolina man reported two Schwinn bicycles were stolen from underneath the beach house he was renting in the 1200 block of South Waccamaw Drive July 9.
He said the bikes are valued at $1,200.

I don't watch a lot of television, apart from Who Do You Think You Are? there is not much else that I would make the time to watch. This evening I put aside 30 minutes to watch the first episode of series two of Great British Railway Journeys on the BBC iPlayer.
I didn't watch the first series and very nearly missed this one. In this episode former MP Michael Portillo travels by train from Brighton to Crystal Palace via Godstone (although Godstone is a bit of a way out if you are travelling from Brighton to Crystal Palace) armed with a copy of George Bradshaw's Tourist Guide.
The programme was is a travel documentary with plenty of history (and historic film) and discussions with historians thrown in for good measure. It helped of course that the places featured were familiar to me.
Starting at Brighton on the Sussex coast we saw the Brighton Aquarium (now the Sea Life Centre) which I think I have only visited once, probably about 30 years ago whilst still at school, I really ought to go back again this year. Then we heard about the long destroyed Chain Pier and took a ride on the Volk's Electric Railway.
Heading up the railway line towards London we saw briefly the magnificent Ouse Valley Viaduct, which I believe at least once of my distant relatives helped to build. In fact I would imagine that plenty of my relatives were involved in the construction of the London to Brighton railway, if only there were records to prove it.
Portillo took a detour to spend the night at Godstone, Surrey. I have been through Godstone on the train several times, but have never actually visited despite have connections there with my GASSON ancestors. I certainly had no idea that there were underground quarries there and wonder if my ancestors had anything to do with them.
The programme finished at Crystal Palace, an intriguing place with a fascinating history. I paid a brief visit to the park and the remains of the Crystal Palace last year as part of my Capital Ring walk. It was one of several places on that walk which I hope to be able to visit again to explore the park and museum further.
This programme seemed very personal to me, it was almost as if the programme was made specifically for me, truly thirty minutes well spent. Now where can I get hold of one of Bradshaw's Guides?

Very interesting. Stephen A gives us a 50 percent chance to get to the finals. In general both have a much increased respect for the team, like most analysts this year.
Skip Bayless, got what a moron. He makes a good troll though lol
Great find and great post. It's nice to see the Clippers getting credit, but is it obvious that Skip Bayless has only watched maybe 2-3 Clippers games this season based on his analysis?
Skip is still talking about the Clippers as if we just got rid of the Kandy man. Then he talks about blocks as it being the end all barometer of defense. Skip is a dumb a$$, I avoid watching him as much as I can. Charles has his stupid moments, but when he makes over the top comments at least we know that he played at a high level in his day. The same can't be even thought when looking at Skip.
Stephen if I'm not mistaken I think was picking us last season at the start of the playoffs.
What Skip failed to realize is that the Clippers were without CP3 and Redick...Two Vital starters, FFS! Yet, BG almost willed his skeleton crew to a upset over a 100% healthy Heat team in the final seconds. Skip talks about us doing the big things but not the small things yet one can actually say he does the same in his analysis. Talks about the obvious ( highlights)and leaves out the small things (2 starters out).
Exactly. That argument was killing me. They do the big things but not enough of the little things...please.
Think the do the big things but not enough of the little things comment was fair. We need to bring our defensive focus and team rebounding on a play to play basis for an entire game. The team can kick it up when the pressure is at its highest usually in the 4th but keeping that intensity from jump makes the defense similar to the Pacers.
Blocks really? He's just like your amateur basketball fan. Guys who just look at stats and based their opinion there. You can play great defense without blocking shots. And what the hell do they expect from Blake? Average 2 blocks per game? I like how he talks about how we don't do the little things yet he forgets Blake has 6'11 wingspan and will probably never be a good shot blocker.
Ya black had 45 15 and 4 assists but - no blocks!!! I laughed out loud at that comment. How many blocks does love have?
SKip isn't much more knowledgeable than the casual nba fan. He is nothing more than a glorified troll. Don't get too upset at his opinions. He isn't on the show due to his knowledge but due to his lack of knowledge. He is meant to stir up controversy.
As far as defense our 2 best defenders (outside of Jordan) are Paul, and JJ.
We still have not seen them really play together this season.
In fact we haven't seen our starting unit play together in God knows
how long...
A fully Healthy Clipper team is something I don't think this league
can fathom as far as offensive power.
We are #2 in scoring and we still haven't had all of our firepower.
^ Yeah, he gives the Spurs an excuse for not being healthy while our starting back court have missed 20 games each. And Houston? Really? We should be so lucky to meet them in round 1.
What qualifies either of those guys to have an opinion? Stephen A. I can at least envision him maybe playing sports when he was young. Skip, you know he was a cheerleader in high school.
Still talking about Blake only dunking? "Now Doc's influencing him into learning how to play offensive basketball". Huh? These guys are fools.
And by the way, their percentage chances were totally wrong based on their arguments. Stephen A. says 50% chances we play Heat in Finals but it's 50% chances for each team based on his logic. That would be a 25% chance.
Skip can't think of any other numbers at the moment and says 50% chances too. Except he thinks we're the 4th best team in the West. That would be more like a 10% chance.
They should change the name of that show to Two Morons and Two Tits.
Yah but didn't you know Dwight Howard is now learning how to play offensive basketball??? The guy is 27 and was better on that side of the court when he was 23. WTF is he talking about!!!
Seriously I'd love to play Houston in the 1st round. That's a 5 game series max.
Skip never gives blake credit he had 43-15-6 .......come on now
DJ is NOT a good defender. He's the best rebounder in the league.
Well most of the analyst, Mike Smith, Ralph Lawler, and
Doc Rivers would disagree with you.
I'll take their word for it.
You gotta admit he's been clutch offensively and defensively this season. But throughout the game he still makes mental lapses
I try not to pay attention to what people on ESPN or TNT say.
They only watch a few clipper games a season so they don't really know.
Skip talks as if Blake barely started playing like this, but in reality he has been playing at this level since December.
I still think we are one, above average, defender away from contending for a title.
I still think we'll meet the Thunder in the conference finals.
Couldn't say it better myself so I won't. Especially the first line and the last line.
WE should have handed their eggs scrambled on a plate. If this present team without Paul and JJ had played together more they would have. They had severe defensive lapses which they fixed. This team full strength can beat Miami
Shot blocking means nothing. What counts is keeping a guy from making a shot. How matters not. A hand in their face, a tip bodying, him up, keeping him out of his sweet spot. Each one prevents two points. If you are a rim defender a tip with one finger is as good as a block. He denigrates BG for athleticism them denigrates him for lack thereof. Isn't this called schizophrenia? Take your meds and STFU Ship.
DJ ain't an elite defender yet.
Every Time I see anything regarding something Skip says I Just remember when Richard Sherman destroyed him lol
"In my 20 years of life, I'm Better at life than you"
Skip was so mad, his eyebrow in his hair by that time trying to yell his point across.

You will notice that sun and shade patterns change during the day. The western side of a house may even be shady due to shadows cast by large trees or a structure from an adjacent property. If you have just bought a new home or just beginning to garden in your older home, take time to map sun and shade throughout the day. You will get a more accurate feel for your site's true light conditions. Conditions : Full to Partial Sun Full sunlight is needed for many plants to assume their full potential. Many of these plants will do fine with a little less sunlight, although they may not flower as heavily or their foliage as vibrant. Areas on the southern and western sides of buildings usually are the sunniest. The only exception is when houses or buildings are so close together, shadows are cast from neighboring properties. Full sun usually means 6 or more hours of direct unobstructed sunlight on a sunny day. Partial sun receives less than 6 hours of sun, but more than 3 hours. Plants able to take full sun in some climates may only be able to tolerate part sun in other climates. Know the culture of the plant before you buy and plant it! Conditions : Types of Pruning Types of pruning include: pinching, thinning, shearing and rejuvenating.
Pinching is removing the stem tips of a young plant to promote branching. Doing this avoids the need for more severe pruning later on.
Thinning involves removing whole branches back to the trunk. This may be done to open up the interior of a plant to let more light in and to increase air circulation that can cut down on plant disease. The best way to begin thinning is to begin by removing dead or diseased wood.
Shearing is leveling the surface of a shrub using hand or electric shears. This is done to maintain the desired shape of a hedge or topiary.
Rejuvenating is removal of old branches or the overall reduction of the size of a shrub to restore its original form and size. It is recommended that you do not remove more than one third of a plant at a time. Remember to remove branches from the inside of the plant as well as the outside. When rejuvenating plants with canes, such as nandina, cut back canes at various heights so that plant will have a more natural look. Conditions : Light and Plant Selection For best plant performance, it is desirable to match the correct plant with the available light conditions. Right plant, right place! Plants which do not receive sufficient light may become pale in color, have fewer leaves and a "leggy" stretched-out appearance. Also expect plants to grow slower and have fewer blooms when light is less than desirable. It is possible to provide supplemental lighting for indoor plants with lamps. Plants can also receive too much light. If a shade loving plant is exposed to direct sun, it may wilt and/or cause leaves to be sunburned or otherwise damaged. Conditions : Full Sun Full Sun is defined as exposure to more than 6 hours of continuous, direct sun per day.
* The key to watering is water deeply and less frequently. When watering, water
well, i.e. provide enough water to thoroughly saturate the root ball. With
in-ground plants, this means thoroughly soaking the soil until water has
penetrated to a depth of 6 to 7 inches (1' being better). With container grown plants, apply enough water to allow water to flow through the drainage holes.
* Try to water plants early in the day or later in the afternoon to conserve
water and cut down on plant stress. Do water early enough so that water has
had a chance to dry from plant leaves prior to night fall. This is paramount
if you have had fungus problems.
* Don't wait to water until plants wilt. Although some plants will recover from this,
all plants will die if they wilt too much (when they reach the permanent
wilting point).
* Consider water conservation methods such as drip irrigation, mulching, and
xeriscaping. Drip systems which slowly drip moisture directly on the root
system can be purchased at your local home and garden center. Mulches can significantly cool the root zone
and conserve moisture.
* Consider adding water-saving gels to the root zone which will hold a reserve
of water for the plant. These can make a world of difference especially under
stressful conditions. Be certain to follow label directions for their use.
Conditions : Normal Watering for Outdoor Plants Normal watering means that soil should be kept evenly moist and watered regularly, as conditions require. Most plants like 1 inch of water a week during the growing season, but take care not to over water. The first two years after a plant is installed, regular watering is important for establishment. The first year is critical. It is better to water once a week and water deeply, than to water frequently for a few minutes.
A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Planting Bulbs Plant bulbs at a depth that is three times their height, and at least 1-1/2 bulb-widths apart. Work a little bone meal fertilizer into the bottom of your hole, and then place the bulb upright in the hole. The more pointed end is almost always the top. If you have trouble telling which is the top, look for evidence of where a stem or roots were last year. If in doubt, plant them sideways. Fill in with soil gently, making sure there are no rocks or clods that would impede the bulb's stem. When planting a great number of bulbs, dig out an area to the specified depth, place bulbs and replace soil. This ensures that ground has been properly prepared and bulbs are evenly spaced.
Plant bulbs in natural drifts rather that formal rows: bulbs can fail or be eaten, leaving holes in a formal arrangement, or will shift with freezing and thawing. If you have trouble with gophers or squirrels eating your bulbs, try sprinkling red pepper in the holes, covering the bulbs with chicken-wire, surround bulbs with sharp shards of gravel or other substance, or planting rodent-repelling bulbs like Fritillaria nearby. How-to : Pruning Flowering Shrubs It is necessary to prune your deciduous flowering shrub for two reasons:
1. By removing old, damaged or dead wood, you increase air flow, yielding in less disease. 2. You rejuvenate new growth which increases flower production.
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups: Those that
require minimal pruning (take out only dead, diseased, damaged, or
crossed branches, can be done in early spring.); spring pruning
(encourages vigorous, new growth which produces summer flowers - in other words,
flowers appear on new wood); summer pruning after flower (after
flowering, cut back shoots, and take out some of the old growth, down to the
ground); suckering habit pruning (flowers appear on wood from previous
year. Cut back flowered stems by 1/2, to strong growing new shoots and remove
1/2 of the flowered stems a couple of inches from the ground) Always remove dead, damaged or diseased wood first, no matter what type of pruning you are doing.
Examples: Minimal: Amelanchier, Aronia, Chimonanthus, Clethra, Cornus alternifolia, Daphne, Fothergilla, Hamamelis, Poncirus, Viburnum. Spring: Abelia, Buddleia, Datura, Fuchsia, Hibiscus, Hypericum, Perovskia, Spirea douglasii/japonica, Tamarix. Summer after flower: Buddleia alternifolia, Calycanthus, Chaenomeles, Corylus, Cotoneaster, Deutzia, Forsythia, Magnolia x soulangeana/stellata, Philadelphus, Rhododendron sp., Ribes, Spirea x arguta/prunifolia/thunbergii, Syringa, Weigela. Suckering: Kerria How-to : Preparing Containers Containers are excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there is little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is inferior. If growing more than one plant in a container, make sure that all have similar cultural requirements. Choose a container that is deep and large enough to allow root development and growth as well as proportional balance between the fully developed plant and the container. Plant large containers in the place you intend them to stay. All containers should have drainage holes. A mesh screen, broken clay pot pieces(crock) or a paper coffee filter placed over the hole will keep soil from washing out. The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen. Quality soils (or soil-less medias) absorb moisture readily and evenly when wet. If water runs off soil upon initial wetting, this is an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think.
Prior to filling a container with soil, wet potting soil in the bag or place in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it is evenly moist. Fill container about halfway full or to a level that will allow plants, when planted, to be just below the rim of the pot. Rootballs should be level with soil line when project is complete. Water well. How-to : Planting Perennials Determine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day, exposure, water requirements, climate, soil makeup, seasonal color desired, and position of other garden plants and trees.
The best times to plant are spring and fall, when soil is workable and out of danger of frost. Fall plantings have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to compete with developing top growth as in the spring. Spring is more desirable for perennials that dislike wet conditions or for colder areas, allowing full establishment before first winter. Planting in summer or winter is not advisable for most plants, unless planting a more established sized plant.
To plant container-grown plants: Prepare planting holes with appropriate depth and space between. Water the plant thoroughly and let the excess water drain before carefully removing from the container. Carefully loosen the root ball and place the plant in the hole, working soil around the roots as you fill. If the plant is extremely root bound, separate roots with fingers. A few slits made with a pocket knife are okay, but should be kept to a minimum. Continue filling in soil and water thoroughly, protecting from direct sun until stable.
To plant bare-root plants: Plant as soon as possible after purchase. Prepare suitable planting holes, spread roots and work soil among roots as you fill in. Water well and protect from direct sun until stable.
To plant seedlings: A number of perennials produce self-sown seedlings that can be transplanted. You may also start your own seedling bed for transplanting. Prepare suitable planting holes, spacing appropriately for plant development. Gently lift the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel, and replant it immediately, firming soil with fingertips and water well. Shade from direct sun and water regularly until stable. How-to : Plant Bulbs It's time to plant bulbs.
You will often
hear loam referred to as a sandy loam (having more sand, yet still plenty of
organic matter) or a clay loam (heavier on the clay, yet workable with good
drainage.) The addition of organic matter to either sand or clay will result
in a loamy soil. Still not sure if your soil is a sand, clay, or loam? Try
this simple test. Squeeze a handfull of slightly moist, not wet, soil in your
hand. If it forms a tight ball and does not fall apart when gently tapped
with a finger, your soil is more than likely clay. If soil does not form a
ball or crumbles before it is tapped, it is sand to very sandy loam. If soil forms a
ball, then crumbles readily when lightly tapped, it's a loam. Several quick, light
taps could mean a clay loam. Glossary : Tolerant Tolerant refers to a plant's ability to tolerate exposure to an external condition(s). It does not mean that the plant thrives or prefers this situation, but is able to adapt and continue its life cycle. Glossary : Fertilize Fertilize just before new growth begins with a complete fertilizer.

Wybrants KINGHORN is one of the few black sheep in my family tree, he is my half 3x great-uncle (perhaps more meaningfully described as the son of my 3x great-grandfather Thomas KINGHORN and his first wife Alicia DALTON). On several occasions I have written about Wybrants and his appearances in the Criminal Registers on Ancestry.co.uk and his rather unusual (and gruesome) cause of death.
- Criminal registers at ancestry.co.uk
- Wybrants KINGHORN's marriage certificate arrives
- Shocking discovery in the search for Wybrants KINGHORN
- I have been spending some time looking into the mail coach accident that his grandfather was involved in, making use of the 19th Century British Library Newspaper Collection, and decided that the chances of finding a mention of Wybrants KINGHORN in the newspapers ought to be quite good. I wasn't disappointed.
I found two reports in London newspapers of Wybrant's activities from December 1853. The first is from The Standard (Monday 5th December 1853 edition) and provides only the briefest of details. It does include the word "burglariously" though which I am finding is a real tongue-twister to say.
BURGLARY.- Wybrants Kinghorn was brought before Mr. Hardwick, on suspicion of having been concerned in burglariously entering the premises of Mr. Evan Astley, tailor, 72, Regent-street, and stealing therefrom property to a considerable amount. -The prisoner was remanded.
The second report is from Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper (Sunday 18th December 1853 edition) and it contains much more detail, than the first one, and makes fascinating reading.
EXTENSIVE ROBBERY. –Wybrants Kinghorn, a journeyman tailor, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, for final examination, charged with stealing a quantity of doeskin cloth, the property of Mr. Evan Astley, tailor, 72½, Regent-street. -John Foster deposed that he was in the employ of the prosecutor, and that on the night of Thursday, the 1st inst., about twenty minutes to ten, he locked up the workshop in King's Arm-yard, and at a little after six the next morning he went and found the door open, and missed several coats, pairs of trowsers, and other articles, also three pieces of doeskin cloth, altogether of the value of 50/. The three pieces of cloth now produced he believed to be the same stolen from the workshop. -Mr, Evan Astley identified the cloth as his property. -Julia Pallett stated that she resided at No. 27 Broad-street. On Friday the 2nd inst., the prisoner came to her shop and produced three pieces of cloth, and told her he had got two waistcoats to make for a party, and asked her to lend him 4s. on them till Saturday, as he was hard up. She did so, and he left the cloth, which she subsequently gave up to Police-constable Ryland. -Sergeant Godfrey 5, C, said, he took the prisoner into custody on the night of the 2nd inst. He said he had taken the cloth, but knew nothing about the other property. Silverton, 323 A, proved that in May, 1851, the prisoner was tried and convicted of felony at the Westminster sessions, and sentenced to eight months' imprisonment. -The prisoner, who denied the charge, was fully committed for trial.
There is one obvious discrepancy, Wybrant's previous trial and conviction was in 1852 not 1851, which does make me question the accuracy of the report, but considering the official records may not have survived it is possibly the closest I am going to get to finding out what Wybrants KINGHORN got up to.
There is so much information in there, almost enough to create a re-construction of the crime. I shall certainly want visit the locations mentioned and find out about the other people involved. It also highlights the fact that I need to try and find some more details on his other criminal activities, to see what else he got up to.
For whatever reason though he was actually acquitted of the charge, despite having admitted to taking the cloth (according to the report). I would love to know how he managed to get away with it!

DeMarcus Lawrence pointed to one crucial factor in securing not one, but two, blocked field goals in the same college football game.
The Silver Bluff grad achieved that feat, in addition to five tackles and a sack, for Boise State in a recent game against Southern Mississippi, and his words are a symbol for how he arrived in one of the nation's most well-known programs in recent years.
"The first thing, it's just about how bad you want it," he said.
Boise State, more than 2,000 miles from Aiken County, isn't where you'd expect to find a former Bulldog, but Lawrence is making a name for himself on the Broncos' famous blue turf. Through six games this season, Lawrence is third on the team with 31 tackles and second for the Broncos with three sacks, one coming in Saturday's game against Utah State.
Coming on top of a preseason spot on the watch list for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Lawrence's performance so far this year might be enough to have him thinking about individual achievements. He isn't looking that direction, though.
"I really haven't set my sights on individual goals this year," he said. "Really, coming to Boise has made my team goals more important."
While the impact of being at Boise has been positive for Lawrence, his path there wasn't a direct one.
A North-South All-Star selection his senior year in high school after playing tight end, offensive tackle and defensive end for the Bulldogs, Lawrence needed to go the junior college route. At the urging of cousin Marcus Lawrence he chose Butler Community College in El Dorado, Kan. Marcus went to Butler on the way to the University of South Carolina and the NFL's New York Giants, and Butler's alumni also include LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger and Cornellius "Tank" Carradine, who played at Florida State before being drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in April.
Lawrence said that, through his entire journey so far, a lesson he learned at Silver Bluff has driven his success.
"Growing up and going to Silver Bluff, all the coaches, teach that it's all about the mindset of playing the game," he said. "If you want it bad enough, youv'e got to go chase it."
Bulldog head coach Al Lown said that it's nice to know that the lessons he and his coaches try to pass on have stuck with Lawrence and others.
"It's gratifying, no doubt about it," he said. "We feel like we teach football the right way at Silver Bluff. Team comes first; they know that."
Lawrence was redshirted his first year at Butler, and then earned several postseason honors from the National Junior College Association and Jayhawk Conference for his 2011 campaign that included 66 tackles, 27 tackles for loss and 10 sacks.
After that, he got attention from Tennessee and Ole Miss of the SEC, Kansas State of the Big 12 and South Florida, then of the Big East. Even with schools from the BCS conferences calling, Lawrence chose Boise State, a member of the Mountain West after flirtations with the Big East before its transition to the American Athletic Conference.
"It was a lot of good schools, but I thought Boise was the best fit," he said.
The main reason for that fit was head coach Chris Peterson. Lawrence described Peterson as a player's coach, which makes him easy to relate to, but ultimately, Peterson won over DeMarcus' mother.
"You know, 'Coach Pete' came and visited my parents, and my mom said he had a nice vibe about him," Lawrence said.
Instead of the usual talk about how big of a role Lawrence could fill for the Broncos, Peterson talked about how he could "make (Lawrence) a better man," and that made all the difference in his decision.
He said he was never concerned about missing out on any national attention by choosing Boise over schools from higher-profile conferences. With Boise winning a pair of Fiesta Bowls, one over traditional power Oklahoma, and smaller programs getting their shot on television more and more, he felt he could shine regardless.
"Basically, nowadays, it really doesn't matter where you go to school, as long as you play hard every play," he said.
In his first season at Boise he recorded a team-best 13 tackles for loss and 9½ sacks to gain his spot on the Nagurski watch list, and his fast start to this year has him moving up some NFL Draft prospect lists.
Lawrence hasn't even thought about potentially leaving Boise in the spring to pursue a professional career, though.
"I have no idea at this time," he said. "I'm just focusing on this season and getting better each week."
Lown said that the best is still to come for the 6-foot-3, 245-pound athlete, regardless of when he decides it's time to move on.
"Obviously, he's got a big topside to him. He's an explosive player, tall, rangy," Lown said. "He's got a great future in front of him."
He also said that players like Lawrence, Clemson freshman Cordrea Tankersley and former NFL player Troy Williamson, all of whom came from Silver Bluff, can serve as an inspiration to current and future Bulldogs. They're an example that the core values of the program, which Lawrence has taken to heart, can carry an athlete far in life.
"It's something, the kids can see if they come in and do things the right way, there's a future beyond high school football," Lown said.

The Augusta Regional Transportation Study Policy Committee meeting was more crowded than usual and got a bit tense at times when the Hitchcock Parkway widening project was addressed Thursday afternoon.
Representatives from the S.C. Department of Transportation gave their usual updates on a variety of road projects in the county. But, when they got to the Hitchcock Parkway, the crowd, which was packed into the Aiken County Council Chambers, became a bit more animated.
The proposal is to widen 4.8 miles of Hitchcock Parkway from Silver Bluff Road to Jefferson Davis Highway from two to four lanes to accommodate more traffic. The project, which is about three decades in the making, got the green light for funding from the S.C. State Transportation Infrastructure Bank early last year. It voted to provide $9.5 million for the Hitchcock Parkway widening. Another $4 million will come from the one-cent sales tax approved by voters in 2010.
SCDOT Program Manager Kevin Gantt said that from the Nov. 8 public information meeting, the comments they gathered from about 250 people varied, and the plan presented that evening showed the most extreme impact to the surrounding area.
Gantt said 75 percent of the residents who commented were against the widening as planned and 70 percent recommended something of a lesser degree.
Gantt said the comments were considered and during SCDOT's meeting with its consultant in January, they worked on implementing strategies to reduce the project's impact on neighborhoods, businesses and churches on that stretch.
Sen. Tom Young, who has been following this project closely, asked at the meeting when another public information session would be held to show the revised plan.
According to Gantt, the process of projects like this is a "dynamic" one and always change depending on the controversy surrounding it. If local government officials feel that more public input is needed, they are asked to contact SCDOT before public involvement closes and a hearing is held for a more finalized plan.
Residents made it clear at the meeting Thursday that they wanted to see an updated plan and offer more input. SCDOT Chief Engineer Ron Patton said they will schedule something in the next two to three months to present a plan with a smaller footprint to residents and gather more comments.
"It is critical for the DOT to understand that public input on any alternative design that they develop is critical," Young said after the meeting. "Therefore, another public information session is a must, and that message was conveyed at the meeting this afternoon."
The proposed project is under County Councilman Andrew Siders' district, and he said he's gotten more calls and emails from constituents about it than any other issue.
"There's obviously a lot of passion – I understand it," Siders said. "I don't feel as if we got very straight answers from the group tonight, and I can understand why people are upset about that. They want to know what the plan is and what public comment that we can have or input we can give to change that and to have any impact on it at all, so there is frustration."
The crowd reacted negatively to the statement that the road, currently with two travel lanes, will have to be expanded to four travel lanes to meet federal highway requirements since the project is addressing capacity issues.
Gantt said in 2011, a survey showed that approximately 18,000 vehicles traveled down Hitchcock Parkway daily. The road is built for 16,000 vehicles a day and it's projected that in less than two decades, that number will increase to about 28,000.
Robert Gilbert, a resident who has been a vocal opponent of the widening as proposed, said that he feels that there's a lack of communication between the transportation committee and the SCDOT.
Only 10 percent of the comments reflected the want of bike paths or pedestrian pathways and comments varied on median enhancements. Even without those accommodations in the plan, Gilbert said he struggles with the idea of them trying to squeeze four or five lanes down to the existing right-of-way.
"I don't know if that's possible or not, but that's essentially what DOT was saying," Gilbert said. "Why didn't the ARTS subcommittee say something at that point? Because that's not what I've been hearing from them – that this is what they want to see happen. So, I thought the meeting was very unsatisfactory, and the things that needed to be said were not said."
ARTS Committee Chair Fred Cavanaugh feels that the lines of communication have been open and said he hopes the local government and SCDOT will find a solution.
"We are communicating well and I think we're working well together so far on what we want," Cavanaugh said.

Just as the Clippers lock in the 3 seed and the Warriors lock in the 6 seed, it's now announced Andrew Bogut is out with a broken rib and may miss the entire playoffs.
What a huge lucky break (pun intended).
I just don't trust any news out of Golden State, I feel like Bogut is still going to play somehow.
Man that elbow thing looked NASTY, I always feel bad for injuries though, we could've beat GS even with him, and they still have O'Neal, never count out the splash brothers either, I still think our team will come out focused and determined, and WE WILL PREVAIL!!!
Bogus can't play because the rib is to close to his lung and it can puncture it
Bubble post!

The Stetson men's soccer team earned its first win in Atlantic Sun Conference play on Sunday, defeating Mercer by a score of 1-0 at the Athletic Training Center.
With the victory the Hatters (2-8-3, 1-3-1) kept themselves in the hunt for a spot in the A-Sun Tournament. Stetson now has four points in conference play, putting the Hatters in a three-way tie for the fifth spot in the tournament with just three matches left on the schedule.
Mercer (3-11-1, 1-3-1) is in the tie with Stetson after falling prey to senior Andreas Schnabl's 15th career shutout. The captain made eight saves on the day, tying a career best in his third shutout of the season.
"It's been a rough start to the A-Sun with only one point in four games, so it was time to collect some points," Schnabl said. "Overall, it was a great effort by the whole team defensively. We definitely deserved that win."
Holding nothing back, Stetson came out attacking on Sunday. The Hatters outshot Mercer 9-6 in the first half, and took advantage of their opportunities just over 13 minutes into the match.
Senior Chase Rodgers fed a ball out to senior Evan Jimmo up the right side. Jimmo was able to find a path and fired a shot towards the goal. His attempt was saved by Mercer goalkeeper Greg Ranjitsingh, but it rebounded out into the box. That's where Rodgers came in and one-timed the rebound into the back of the net to give Stetson the early lead.
"I thought we started the game off strong," Rodgers said. "I got to play in the midfield a little bit. We had some good combinations early on and really put some on goal."
"In the first half we defended really well," Schnabl added. "We kept the line high so they didn't get that much in our half. Unfortunately, in the second half, we dropped deeper and deeper, and that's how they got possession more and more in our half."
The Bears came out on the offensive in the second half, recording 12 shots to Stetson's five in the final 45 minutes of play. Schnabl came up with five saves in the second half alone, and the Hatter back line continued to keep Mercer at bay.
"The defense did a great job today," Stetson head coach T. Logan Fleck said. "JJ Bostic was tremendous and Travis Workman put forth an outstanding effort once again as center backs."
Stetson held on for the 1-0 victory, the Hatters' second win of the season.
"I thought this was the first full 90 minutes that we played," Rodgers added. "It was a great effort from everybody. We were able to get the goal and hold them to a shutout so it was a good effort all around."
Stetson will continue the home-stand next weekend with the team's final regular season game in DeLand this season. The Hatters host Florida Gulf Coast on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the Athletic Training Center.
