Featured Reviews:
"It was one of the most amazing experiences of my life!! The instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable, sign up was extremely easy, and booking the process through Cloud 9 was very easy. They were able to get the exact time I wanted, and let me know quickly. Thank you!"
"Outstanding in all aspect!"
" This experience was a gift. We enjoyed our sail immensely."
"The Red Rocks Canyon is a great place to horseback ride! The guides were awesome, and the food was amazing. There was live music and smores at the end of the ride. I would recommend this to anyone."
"It was just great all around. I have no complaints at all."
"We started our trip to DC with this Safeway tour and could not have been more pleased. The monuments are pretty spread out and this allowed you to cover done ground and see a lot at one time. The your was three hours long and we were not bored at all. The segways are a blast and we wished we had some for the rest of the trip! The training you do before you start the tour is plenty to make you comfortable on the segway. If we travel to any other city in the, near future our first step will be checking to see if they have a segway tour too! Thanks for the great experience! "
"Had a great time! Great idea to not only experience amazing chocolate from local markets and bakeries but to experience Dupont Circle as well. Nicely done!"
"What a great experience! John Blum is a great guy - his laidback personality made the flight even that much more fun - it that's possible!"
"What an amazing experience!! The hike was BEAUTIFUL, the guides were so friendly and their sense of humor really helped take the edge off the situation. It was my first time going , and of course I Googled bungee accidents; the overview of the safety guidelines and the construction of the bungee ropes along with the bridge and wire itself took away 99% of the fear I had going into this experience. Cloud 9 Living does not set you up for failure. Thank you Cloud 9 Living for helping make such an amazing lifetime experience that much more memorable! Clarisse Paul (24, Redlands, CA) Also-I don't know how much the guides are making, but it is NOT enough!! They were AMAZING!! I wish I could thank them personally, again. "
"This was the best birthday gift I have ever recieved. A once in a lifetime experience, the pilot was very down to earth and very informative"
"I purchased an hour flight lesson as a gift for my boyfriend on our 1 year anniversary. He had no idea, I just told him it was a surprise and drove him confused to the airport. We had such an amazing time! He looked so happy and excited the entire time we were there. Would definitely recommend but not for the faint hearted. "
"Felecia was a very talented chef and gave all of us a great and enjoyable evening."
"The Walking Food Tour was 'Gourmet on K' in Sacramento. We stopped at 6 restaurants, with excellent food in all of them. The people at the places we went to were incredibly friendly and had a wealth of information to share with us about their product/history/stories etc. The tour can usually take up to 12 people our guide said, but luckily we were the only ones, so it turned in to a private tour! We live in Sacramento too so it was awesome to find out some of the K street history - especially some of the buildings that we ride bikes past all of the time. The tour is well worth doing and the Local Roots Food Tours have other tours they offer around Sacramento. We are already lining up our next one!"
"Levi was great and was able to answer all of our questions. It was a bit windy that day and he was willing to reschedule. We decided to go and it was so much fun. He took great care of us."
"It was great. The food was better then I thought it would be. Very classy. It was worth every penny. I highly recommend cloud 9 living to take care of anyone's bookings. Thanks for being professional. "
"Steve explained the process step by step which was very helpful as this was my first Astrological reading. He explained the charting and what the planets represented. Receiving a taping of the reading was exceptional as I hear things I missed during the reading. I learned things about myself and why I am the way I am. I highly recommend Cloud 9 as they have highly qualified Astrology Readers that offer quality services."
"This was an experience of a lifetime that gave me new respect for the pilots in all the wars that have helped to protect our freedoms. The pilots were so knowledgeable and friendly. They gave a great briefing of the experience and then provided an awesome run up in the air. I paid for two trips up but had no idea that I might feel a little "different" after experiencing g force for the first time. The pilots were great about being patient and talking to me. Ultimately, I called it a day, but the experience was still top notch and totally worth it! I recommend this to everyone who wants to experience "the need for speed!""
"My sister had me tag along on her bucket list quest to fly a plane. I signed up too and we did our sessions together. After a brief office lesson, Juan took us up for an unforgettable experience! My sister flew first, taking off from Dallas Executive Airport in south Dallas. After the allotted time, we landed at Lancaster Regional where she and I switched seats and I took a shot at the controls. Flying a small plane can definitely rock your stomach and head, but Juan was great about letting us do what was comfortable. You can do as many maneuvers as you like, or just cruise along and enjoy the view. No pressure, beautiful weather, great experience!!! Juan was an awesome instructor. "
"I loved the experience with Chef Kahlil!!! He was awesome and made our 5yr anniversary special and perfect with his cooking and great personality!! I would recommend this experience to everyone."
"FANTASTIC!!!!!! I would give more information about the parking. I did not know that I could leave my car in the valet and have the IFly people stamp the ticket. I end up paying for parking. Just to go and experience the indoor skydiving."
"Over spring break my daughter and I went as first timers to drive ATV with Stellar Adventures in Scottsdale AZ and I must say it was a BLAST! Our instructor Chad was very knowledgeable and patient with us, Chad took the time to talk to all of us and explain what to expect in the upcoming area. I would definitely recommend Stellar to everyone."
"Alex @ Scratch DJ is very knowledgeable and professional."
"awesome all! "
"Exotics racing of Las Vegas was a wonderful company to work with! We had an absolute blast! Everyone there went above and beyond and their passion for cars/racing was evident. They are 100% dedicated to showing their guests a wonderful time!"
"Everything was excellent! The receptionist was friendly and thorough whenever I called with questions about my Cloud 9 experience. The staff at Aerodynamic Aviation, who managed my "Learn to Fly Bay Tour", were professional as well as personable. My flight instructor, Patrick, made this flight fun while I learned the basics of flying a small aircraft. This was one of the best gifts I have ever received! Thank You!"
"It was great seeing whales, dolphins and seals/sea lions in their natural habitat. My son and I enjoyed a great day!"
"The selection of individually owned stores and the background information on the owners made the tour unusually interesting. All the desserts were outstanding and our reception in the stores was friendly. I really enjoyed the experience."
"We were in NYC 5 days which sound like a lot of time until you start trying to "do everything" so giving up three hours is a pretty big deal. We could not have been happier with the time or money spent. Getting the experience booked and our questions answered were handled perfectly by the Cloud 9 representatives. Once we were on board, it just got better. The staff, especially Ashanti -our server- were incredible! We LOVED the cruise so much!! The only feedback we would give was about the dress code. We called Cloud 9 to confirm required dress and we're told no jeans were permitted. (This was not clear on the Wells Fargo site where we initially purchased the cruise). We had to go buy dress pants for one of the members of our party -which we were happy to do in order to comply with the code. However, several people were in jeans, one even wearing a GAP hoodie as well. We weren't looking for a fancy event but given the fact that we made a specific purchase only yo find out jeans WOULD have been fine was a bit annoying. "
"This was something on my 'bucket list' of things to do. My husband surprised me a few days before my birthday. I had already scheduled the day off (I make it a practice to never work on my birthday) so when he told me what my gift was, I immediately jumped on Cloud 9 to schedule my lessons. I was afraid with such short notice, I wouldn't be able to fly on my birthday, but Ali was quick to reply and confirmed the date I requested. When I arrived at Genesis, everyone was very nice. Mick, my instructor was super nice and did a great job of walking me through the process. He was very calm which helped my nerves. I was excited and nervous at the same time, so it helped having someone so calm and professional with me. He was very patient and I learned a lot in such a short amount of time. My husband and 8 yr old son ended up flying with us so the whole family had a blast. It was the experience of a life time! I told my son, what other 8 yr can say he circled over our house and school over spring break? I would recommend Genesis to anyone wanting to seek flying lessons and ask for Mick!"
"I bought the romantic dinner for two experience for my parents as it was my dad's 60th birthday and my sister and I couldn't be there. I worked with Stacy, from epicures, to customize the menu and was amazing to work with! My parents thought she was incredibly sweet and loved all of her creations. Thanks for helping in making my dad's birthday so great!"

I often say that the secret to the voluminous menus in Chinese restaurants is that, when you get right down to it, there are only four items prepared eighty different ways. Note that I don't think there's anything wrong with that; it's all good and the variations in sauces and vegetables provide for a welcome variety in choices. I mention this only because it is the way that I have taken to thinking about Need For Speed games. Strip away the extraneous details regarding how you happen to arrive at any given race and you are left with four key "ingredients:"
-- Race against a large pack of cars, often in a "you must finish first" setting.
-- Race against a timer, often with multiple checkpoints.
-- Race against a small pack of cars, again often with the requirement to win.
-- Deal with a bunch of suicidal/homicidal (an odd personality disorder, that) cops.
It's a time-proven formula and it must be successful given that there are nearly two dozen variants (counting sequels) of the title, each having a different mix of the four base ingredients and each having a different overarching theme. Naturally the four basic categories and the games themselves have benefited from years of incremental improvements in both game play and look/feel, but if you were to go back to the very first version in 1994 you would easily recognize the basic fundamentals of the game.
The latest in the series is Need for Speed: The Run and, while it certainly includes the same four basic tenets of the series, this offering is arguably the most revolutionary of the collection. The entire "wrapper" around the core racing introduces multiple changes from what veteran players have come to expect. First and foremost, there is a linear storyline that ties the widely disparate geographies into a logical progression. The crux of the story is that the player takes on the role of Jack Rourke (played by Sean Faris), a noted racer that has somehow managed to get in the bad graces of a criminal organization. The only way out of his financial mess (other than, perhaps, forgoing personal hygiene and hiding out with the Occupy San Francisco crowd) is to enter a coast-to-coast race from San Francisco to New York. The entry fee of $250,000 is fronted by Sam Harper (played by Christina Hendricks), a female acquaintance of Jack's, as an investment - she believes he can beat the other 199 participants and win the $25,000,000 prize, of which she will claim 90%. That's a pretty good deal for her, one must say, considering that she's not even providing the cars or taking the risks, but Jack doesn't seem to have many other options.
The Run also has some significant changes under the hood, so to speak. The most noticeable, perhaps, is developer Black Box's decision to use the Frostbite 2 engine, marking what may well be the first time that said engine has been used for something other than a shooter, and certainly the first time it has been used in a driving game. Personally, I suspect that the primary impetus behind that move, when one considers the effort that must have gone into re-purposing an entire game engine, came from the aforementioned story mode. With animated characters and real-world environments playing such a central role in the overall feel of the game, it may have been the case that the engine used in previous Need For Speed iterations simply wasn't up to the task.
Whatever the reason, the results justify the effort. Racing through the spectacularly resplendent Rocky Mountains reminded me of a conversation I recently had with an airline captain who is only a couple of years from mandatory retirement. I had asked him what he hopes to do in his retirement, and I was surprised at his succinct answer: "Travel." After a pause to think about his response, I still had to ask why, after a few hundred thousand miles in the air, he hadn't had enough travel to satisfy even the strongest wanderlust. "Well," he replied, "I'd like to slow down and really see the stuff that I've been flying over all of these years." The Run is like this. I drove through some of the most beautiful scenery our country has to offer, but I was so busy racing that I never had a spare moment to really look at it.
Gorgeous scenery could probably have been found in easier ways, but the selection of an action-oriented game engine also allowed for yet another innovation for the series: action sequences
of the car. Hopefully without spoiling the game for anyone, I have to say that I have never been happier to leave Las Vegas. The reason for that wasn't the same as when I go there in person (three days of the smoke and cacophonous clanging of casinos is all I can bear), though. The reason I was happy to finally get out of Vegas in The Run was solely to do with the out-of-car experience Jack had there. I've never been a fan of quick time event gaming since I think it requires no real skill and provides no sense of accomplishment, and I was even less enthused with the violent nature of what's in store for Jack in Vegas. This was my least liked part of the entire The Run experience, and I found its inclusion in what would have been a fairly benign game gratuitous, completely unnecessary, and unwelcome.
Other than that, though, the single player campaign moves along nicely and the progression through the various types of roads and surroundings definitely gives the player the feeling of progressing in the transcontinental race. In the west, it will be tight, twisty roads winding their way up into and down out of the majestic Rocky Mountains, with the risk of being wiped out in an avalanche or flying though a guardrail into a deep, rocky abyss ever present. Once through the mountains and into the plains states, the roads become flatter and straighter but no less dangerous; avalanches are replaced with thunderstorms and slow recreational vehicles are replaced with slower and heavier trucks. In all environments, crashes are common and can be rectified either by burning one of the limited number of "rewinds" available to the player, which will return to the most recent checkpoint, or by enduring the load time required to simply reset the level back to the beginning.
Each race comes with the opportunity to acquire copious volumes of XP by meeting dozens of ancillary goals, ranging from clean or dirty passes of opponents to how far you were able to fly your car over a hill. The XP is applied towards driver level ups, which in turn grant you more and better capabilities such as faster nitrous recharges, the ability to draft, or in some cases the ability to gather even more XP.
It is also possible to unlock new cars by defeating rivals in certain races. The cars come pretty much as-is, but there are opportunities for customization to be had with unlockable body kits and performance upgrades. Given the nature of the premise of the game, though, tricking out a car isn't the primary focus. You're in this thing to race (and to survive, which is no mean feat), not to strut about town showing off your pretty car. The selection of which car to drive in any given segment matters, too, since each has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. Muscle cars are poor choices for the twisty mountain segments, for example, but work nicely in the wide open plains states where top speed is more important that nimble handling.
It's a connected world we live in, and The Run is no different. Even in the single player campaign mode, your progress and best times are being automatically uploaded to the Autolog where they can be seen (and in my case, ridiculed) and compared to those of your friends. Beyond that, there is a strong multiplayer component too. A number of new features have been added to the standard multiplayer fare to make it more accessible to new players, the friendliest of which is the ability to jump immediately into an active race without having to cool your heels waiting in the lobby. Navigation to available races is made easier through the concept of playlists, each of which has a theme (muscle cars in a brawling style of racing, supercars where clean racing is preferred, etc.) and a preselected set of tracks.
Even within a multiplayer race there are plenty of chances to beat goals and earn XP or unlock new cars. At the end of each session, a bonus wheel reminiscent of the big Price Is Right wheel spins and distributes even more goodies to the players that completed the session. The in-race challenges, the bonus wheel; and certain competitive advantages given to the players trailing the field are all intended to keep players in the race rather than have them drop out as they wreck or fall behind.
Falling somewhere between the campaign mode and the multiplayer racing, there is also a Challenge Series. Events in the challenge series are unlocked as the player progresses through the campaign. As with the multiplayer, the challenges are great for wracking up XP and posting times to Autolog without being locked into the linearity of the campaign. Cars unlocked in both the challenge series and multiplayer become available for use in the campaign, which is yet another example of the way each mode interacts with the other throughout the entire game.
So, while the ancestry of Need For Speed: The Run will be readily apparent to veterans of the series, The Run breaks new ground in a number of interesting ways. The adoption and adaptation of the Frostbite 2 engine allows for far more spectacular scenery and action, while the supporting campaign storyline provides an interesting way to serve up the standard race types in a new and compelling way. The multiplayer is strong and user friendly, providing just enough subtle assists to keep even rookie players involved. At the end of the day, it is an impressive achievement to bring such a fun and fresh look to such a mature product.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Your Rating
A sweet and melancholy clown named R. G. Chesterton (Matt Walley), pushing a trunk full of surprises, takes the stage in this delightful physical variety show.
It's a happy mix of comic encounters bubbling with simple pleasures, like finding a creative way to fill a little red cup to water a wilting rose.
While most clowns have odd hats, Chesterton has an especially strange musical hat, which seems to have the magical power to discern personality and play music to fit the moment in the funniest way possible — the perfect accessory to go with a wind-up opposable thumb.
Along for the ride is the graceful Angela Horchem as an acrobatic stagehand with a troublesome mop. She also dives in as Chesterton's partner engaging in some synchronized swimming in a very small space.
Mixtape is a world brimming with silliness and child-like wonder, an utterly charming show for all ages.
—Wendy King
From the Fringe program:
As R.G. Chesterton unpacks his steamer trunk, he reveals an imaginative world. Experience dancing creatures falling in love, acrobatic clowns performing a death-defying dive, and other surprises. It's a MixTape of original pieces that will delight, mystify, and awaken your sense of mirth.
"In its simplicity, it is grand. In its creativity, it is a pleasure. As a joint venture—because Walley and Horchem engage so genuinely with us—Theatre 3's MixTape rocks." - Sherilyn Forrester, Tucson Weekly

Northern Illinois 41, Army 40 Final
Postgame Notes
WEST POINT, N.Y.-The Northern Illinois defense made the stop it needed to make as freshman linebacker Boomer Mays tackled Army quarterback Trent Steelman for a two-yard loss on fourth and three with 1:47 to play, securing the Huskies' 41-40 victory over the Black Knights Saturday at Michie Stadium.
Mays' stop came after NIU took the lead with 4:29 in the game on Mathew Sims' PAT following an eight-yard touchdown pass from Jordan Lynch to Martel Moore. The touchdown pass was one of four on the day for Lynch, who threw for a career high 342 yards on 18-of-27 passing. Lynch added 125 rushing yards on 13 carries. His 467 yards of total offense is the third-highest total in NIU history.
"Obviously my hat goes off to Army," said NIU Head Coach Dave Doeren. "They are very hard to beat in this stadium. Our guys overcame a lot. We found a way to win. Our guys kept battling and stayed in there. Jordan threw the ball extremely well and made a lot of plays. He and Martel got in a groove late."
Moore finished with seven catches for 134 yards and two touchdowns and sophomore Tommylee Lewis scored on a 69-yard touchdown as well as a 21-yard run on the end around. Northern Illinois improved to 2-1 with the win and won its road opener for the first time since 2007. Army fell to 0-2.
The final completion ended a 13-play, 72-yard drive that took 4:19 off the clock as NIU responded to Army's final score.
The Northern Illinois defense struggled all day to stop a potent Army rushing attack as the Black Knights finished the game with 486 rushing yards on 86 carries and six touchdowns. Three players - Raymond Maples, Larry Dixon and Trent Steelman ran for more than 100 yards each as they tallied 159, 136 and 116 yards, respectively.
Army scored on the first possession of the game as the Black Knights drove 75 yards in 10 plays, all on the ground, with Raymond Maples scoring on a 22-yard run.
The Huskies answered with an eight-play, 70-yard drive. Lynch hit tight end Luke Eakes for a 38-yard pick-up on the drive, and then lofted a pass to 6-8 tight end Tim Semisch in the back of the end zone for NIU's first score of the game.
NIU collected the next two touchdowns to take a 21-7 lead with 8:55 to play in the half. Lynch got a block on the edge and ran 88 yards to complete a four-play, 98-yard drive. After the Huskie defense stopped Army on fourth and seven on the NIU 38 yard line, Northern Illinois needed just three plays to score again as Lewis scored on the end-around.
After Army responded with the first of Dixon's three TDs to close out a 10-play, 73-yard drive, NIU used its quick strike offense again with Lynch hitting Lewis for 69 yards and a 28-13 Huskie lead. Army put together a drive before halftime to close the gap to 28-19.
Army carried momentum from that late score into the second half, forcing NIU into a three and out on its first possession, then grinding out an eight-play, 68-yard drive for a score. Steelman scored on a 25-yard rush and the PAT narrowed the Huskies' lead to 28-26.
NIU drove to the Army four yard line but when Jordan Lynch appeared to reach the ball over the goal line, it was called a fumble in the end zone and Army took over on the NIU 20.
Army took advantage, once again pounding out a 12-play, 80-yard drive exclusively on the ground. Dixon scored again and when Steelman's two-point conversion attempt was true, the Huskies trailed 34-28.
NIU's next drive was stopped when Lynch was intercepted, but the defense forced a punt and the Huskies responded. On third-and-10 from the Army 31, Lynch hit Moore over the top on the pass the two connected on throughout the game and after Sims' PAT, NIU led 35-34.
"I'd like to see us get rid of the turnovers," Doeren said. "Defensively, we made a lot of adjustments throughout the game. We were able to get a stop when we needed it. We kept preaching that we only needed one stop and we got it when we needed it most."
After another Army punt, turnovers bit NIU again as Lynch fumbled on a handoff and Army recovered at the Huskie 15-yard line. One play later, Steelman ran in for the score and the Black Knights took a 40-35 lead.
Army ran 90 plays to the Huskies' 53 and held the ball for 42:33 in the game while not committing a turnover. They completed just one pass for eight yards in the game. Northern Illinois committed three turnovers, but converted eight-of-nine third downs in the game.
The Huskies play three of their next four games at home, including next week as Kansas visits Huskie Stadium. The NIU-Kansas game kicks off at 2:30 p.m. and tickets are available through Ticketmaster and online at www.NIUHuskies.com.
Purdue 54, Eastern Michigan 16 Final
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind.- Eastern Michigan fell to 0-3 on the season following a 54-16 defeat at Purdue. Offensively Eastern Michigan struggled, turning the ball over three times and converting on 2-of-13 third-down attempts. Eastern was led by Dominique Sherrer with 73 rushing yards, Dustin Creel had 49 receiveing yards, and backup Tyler Benz led the Eagles with 78 yards on 5-of-12 passing.
Punter Jay Karutz had a exceptional day, as Karutz averaged 43.9 yards per punt, with three downed inside the 20.
Purdue took advantage of Eastern Michigan miscues as Purdue built an early 13-0 lead over the Eagles in the first quarter. The Boilermakers first touchdown drive began following an Alex Gillett thrown interception, and extended the lead following a blocked Jay Karutz punt.
Eastern Michigan answered when Pudge Cotton picked off a Caleb TerBush pass an ran it back 28 yards for the Eagles first point s of the game. A failed PAT kept the score at 14-6. The interception was the first of Cotton's career, and the first pick-six by an Eagle since 2005.

Minnesota 28, Western Michigan 23 Final
Postgame Notes
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. -Western Michigan went back and forth with Minnesota but a few key plays in the first half turned the game in the Gophers favor as they held on for a 28-23 win over the Broncos in front of a near sellout crowd at TCF Bank Stadium on Saturday.
Dareyon Chance had a career day on the Big Ten stage, carrying the ball 29 times for 144 yards, both career highs, and a six-yard touchdown run. For Chance, it was his first career 100-yard rushing game and the first for the Broncos since Tevin Drake had 112 againts Bowling Green on Oct. 8, 2011. It was the most rushing yards for Western Michigan since Brandon West had 166 against Eastern Michigan on Nov. 1, 2008.
The Broncos found themselves in a deja vu situation near the end of the game. Much like last season, at Illinois, the Broncos had one last possession, needing a touchdown to pull out the win. Western Michigan put itself in that position by driving 66 yards in 1:32 and five plays to score.
Alex Carder, who went 24-for-44 for 209 yards, found Jaime Wilson in the corner of the end zone. It is the third straight game with a TD to open up Wilson's career. It was Carder's 64th career TD pass. Wilson quietly led the game with 10 catches for 117 yards, his second straight 100-yard receiving game.
A failed two-point conversion left Western Michigan behind, 28-23, needing a defensive stop. They got it. On 3rd and 1, Travonte Boles and Johnnie Simon converged on the ball carrier for a three-yard loss, forcing a punt.
The Broncos' final possession did not go as planned as an illegal formation call negated a 14-yard completion to Wilson and then Carder was sacked for a five-yard loss. Facing fourth-and-18, Carder completed a pass to Wilson for 15 yards, a good gain but three yards shy and effectively ending the game.
Western Michigan's defense also had a plan where starting quarterback MarQueis Gray was concerned. The Broncos held the 250-pound senior signal caller to 57 yards rushing and 29 yards passing before he left the game in the second quarter due to injury.
Max Shortell saw his chance to shine and took it as the sophomore, on his first play from scrimmage, completed a 32-yard pass and five plays later, Minnesota was in the end zone to take a 14-10 lead, one it would not relinquish.
Shortell would have two more TD passes with A.J. Barker hauling in both of them, finishing with three on the day. Minnesota took its first lead of the day after Michael Carter picked off Carder on an out route near the Gophers' sideline. Minnesota scored three plays later on a Gray to Barker 10-yard connection to go up 7-3.
Western Michigan opened the scoring with a 35-yard field goal with 6:07 remaining in the first quarter. He would miss a 42-yard field goal with 2:12 remaining in the third that would have cut Minnesota's lead to 28-20, making it a one-possession game.
Chance's first score in nearly two years capped a four-play 18-yard drive after Paul Hazel and Justin Currie, who led WMU with nine tackles, combined to force Gray to fumble the ball. Each of the game's first two TDs were the results of a turnover on the previous possession.
Western Michigan opened the second half by marching down the field in 11 plays, one of two 11-play scoring drives, to cut the lead to 21-17 with 10:54 to go in the third quarter. Antoin Scriven scored his eighth career TD from one yard out.
Western Michigan now has three straight home games, beginning with Connecticut out of the Big East. Western Michigan defeated UConn, 38-31, on Oct. 1, 2011. Game time is 2 p.m. and airs on ESPN3.
Michigan 63, UMass 13 Final
Postgame Notes
ANN ARBOR, Mich. - A 32-yard interception return for a touchdown by Christian Birt and a pair of field goals by Brendon Levengood highlighted UMass' scoring in a 63-13 loss at No. 17 Michigan on Saturday afternoon. Denard Robinson showed why he was one of the most prolific players in college football with 291 yards passing and 106 yards rushing with four total touchdowns. The game was a homecoming of sorts for UMass tailback Michael Cox who rushed for a season-high 76 yards against his former teammates. Cox played four years at Michigan before enrolling in graduate school at UMass.
Along with Cox's performance, Mike Wegzyn led the offense going 14-of-29 for 141 yards. Receivers Alan Williams and Deion Walker each had season-best performances. Williams had a career-high six catches for 38 yards, while Walker had four catches for a team-best 63 yards.
Fitzgerald Toussaint rushed for 85 yards and two touchdowns in leading Michigan's run game behind Robinson. Drew Dileo had 3 catches for 91 yards to lead the Wolverines wide receivers.
Michigan jumped out to a 14-0 lead after the first quarter thanks to a 26 yard touchdown pass from Robinson to Devin Funchess and an 11-yard run by Fitzgerald Toussaint.
The Minutemen punted on their first two possessions but were able get momentum going late in the quarter. Facing 3rd and 11 at the UMass 35 yard line, Wegzyn picked up a key first down with a 16-yard run. Cox followed that up with a 14-yard run getting UMass to the Michigan 49-yard line.
Wegzyn then hit Sharpe along the right sideline for a 22-yard pick-up to the Michigan 13 yard line. The drive fizzled after a holding penalty, however, and Brendan Levengood converted a 25-yard field goal with 13:44 left in the second quarter.
The Wolverines responded with a two-play 39-second drive that consisted of a 66-yard Robinson pass to Drew Dileo to set-up a five-yard touchdown run from Vincent Smtih putting Michigan back up 21-3.
After UMass punted on its next possession, Michigan took over at its own 12-yard line. After a four-yard run, Robinson threw an interception to Christian Birt who jumped the route and returned the pick for a touchdown with 9:49 left in the half.
Robinson added two more touchdowns for Michigan in the half with a 42-yard pass to Devin Gardner and a 36-yard keeper putting the Wolverines up 35-10 with 4:00 remaining.
Levengood hit his second field goal of the half with a 32-yarder to cap a 57 yard drive making the score 42-13. The drive was highlighted by a 33-yard pass from Wegzyn to Deion Walker which carried UMass to the Michigan 15-yard line.
Michigan put together one last scoring drive in the half going 83 yards in nine plays. Robinson hit four-of-five passes to start the drive combined with a UMass personal foul put the Wolverines in the red zone with just under a minute left in the half. A 16-yard run by Robinson advanced the ball to the two-yard line. UMass stuffed Toussaint on the next play and forced Robinson to fumble on a quarterback sweep to the left. Robinson's fumble, however, was recovered by left tackle Taylor Lewan for the touchdown making it 42-13 at the intermission.
Robinson picked up where he left off to start the third quarter hitting Roy Roundtree for an 18-yard touchdown. Vinent Smith added his second rushing touchdown of the day in the third quarter as Michigan went into the fourth leading 56-13.
Akron 66, Morgan State 6 Final
AKRON, Ohio – University of Akron head coach Terry Bowden got win No. 1 in the Blue and Gold in record fashion as the Zips set or tied six team and two individual school records, in addition to one conference mark, in a 66-6 win over Morgan State on Saturday at InfoCision Stadium – Summa Field.
Akron's 66 points and 753 yards of total offense broke a nine-year mark set on Sept. 20, 2003, against Howard (65 points, 692 yards). The Zips also finished with a program-best 43 first downs, also in that contest against Howard. UA set a school record for completions as well with 44.
Akron (1-2) also set the program and Mid-American Conference mark for passing yards (565) and posted the third-most offensive yards in league history with 753. Akron's 59 pass attempts tied the UA school mark.
Dalton Williams finished the game connecting on 37-of-48 passes for 446 yards and three touchdowns. His 94 completions over the last three games broke Charlie Frye's school record in that category (89). He also set the single-game completions mark, besting Frye's 36 against Kent State on Aug. 28, 2003.
Kyle Pohl completed 7-of-10 passes for 119 yards and three touchdowns in relief of Williams.
Jawon Chisholm led all rushers with 129 yards on 18 carries. It was his fifth-career 100-yard game on the ground (four in 2011). Conor Hundley added two rushing touchdowns while Marquelo Suel had 99 yards on six catches.
Morgan State (1-2) opened the second half with a three-and-out and the Zips would capitalize, driving 75 yards on 12 plays for the first points of the second half. Robert Stein connected on a 24-yard chip shot to increase Akron's lead to 24-6 with 9:39 on the third-quarter clock.
Following the second-consecutive three-and-out of the half for the Bears, the Zips went 74 yards on four plays with Williams connecting with Andrew Pratt for a 42-yard touchdown. The extra point would give Akron a 31-6 lead with 7:06 left in the quarter.
The Akron offense continued to move down the field, as Akron scored on its third-straight drive when Hundley scored on an 11-yard draw for a 38-6 lead. The TD run capped off a five-play, 75-yard drive.
Pohl entered the game late in the third quarter for Williams and connected with Jerrod Dillard for 28 yards on his first attempt of the game for an Akron touchdown. The score sent the game into the fourth quarter with the Zips leading, 45-6.
UA added three more scores in the fourth quarter, with Pratt catching his second TD of the day (37 yards) and Dee Frieson catching Pohl's third scoring toss (18 yards). The Akron defense added a score with Nick Rossi returning a fumble 29 yards for a touchdown.
The Zips opened the game with a 14-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that covered 4:08 on the clock. Williams connected with Tyrell Goodman for 17 yards to cap off the series. Chisholm accounted for 35 yards on the ground during the march down field.
Following a Morgan State field goal to cut the Akron lead to 7-3, UA would answer with its first rushing touchdown of the season. Starting on their own 25, Williams would carry the Zips down the field. Hundley punched it in from one yard out for his first collegiate touchdown, giving UA a 14-3 advantage with 3:14 remaining in the first quarter. The drive covered 75 yards on 12 plays and chewed up 2:58 on the clock.
UA added to its lead in the second quarter when Williams connected with Rhyne Ladrach for a 12-yard TD pass with 11:28 left in the half. The catch was the first TD of Ladrach's career and the ninth on the year for Williams.
An illegal hit to the head kept Morgan State's next drive alive following a near interception by the Zips. The Bears' drive would eventually stall at the Akron 26. MSU settled for a field goal, cutting the UA lead to 21-6 at the 7:47 mark.
Following a missed field goal by MSU's Ervin Gonzalez, the Zips drove 60 yards to the Bears 18 yard line. However, Stein would hit the right upright to send the game into halftime with Akron leading, 21-6.
Albert Presley led the Akron defense with six tackles, followed by Johnny Robinson's five.
Akron travels to SEC foe and nationally-ranked Tennessee on Saturday, Sept. 22, for a Comcast Sports South/ESPN3/ESPN Game Plan telecast. The contest is set to begin at 7:30 p.m. ET.
Zips Notebook:
Dalton Williams entered the contest ranked second in the nation with seven TD passes, trailing only USC's Matt Barkley (10) ... Williams now has 10 TDs through the air ... Williams completed 30 passes against UCF in Week 1 and 27 at FIU in Week 2 ... Charlie Frye's previous record of 89 completions over three games included 36 against Kent State, 31 at Wisconsin and 22 versus Eastern Michigan ... Jawon Chisholm last reached the century mark on the ground against Central Michigan on Oct. 29, 2011 (130) ... the other time the Zips scored 65 points against was Eastern Michigan in triple overtime (Nov. 24, 2011).
Boise State 39, Miami 12 Final
Postgame Notes
BOISE, Idaho - A defensive effort led by senior linebacker Pat Hinkel kept Miami in the game through 30 minutes, but Boise State pulled away in the second half for a 39-12 victory Saturday in front of 34,178 fans at Bronco Stadium, the second largest crowd in BSU history.
The RedHawks (1-2) trailed just 15-9 at half thanks in part to Hinkel, who intercepted a Joe Southwick pass in the endzone midway through the first quarter and recovered a fumble that led to a 2-yard TD pass from Spencer Treadwell to Andy Cruse with 4:39 left in the second.
The running back pass, which gave Miami a 9-8 lead, was the first non-quarterback touchdown pass for the RedHawks since 2004.
Senior Zac Dysert completed 20 passes for 176 yards in the contest. Cruse led Miami in receptions for the third straight week with six catches for 42 yards. Sophomore Dawan Scott added four grabs for 23 yards.
Jamire Westbrook led the team in rushing with 28 yards on eight carries, while Treadwell ran the ball six times for 17 yards.
True freshman Kaleb Patterson nailed a 45-yard field goal with 4:05 remaining in the first and added a 42-yarder in the fourth quarter. He is now four-of-five on field goals this year.
Boise State's D.J. Harper had a game-high 162 yards rushing, scoring on three of his 16 carries. Joe Southwick passed for 304 yards, completing 24 of 31 passes. He had two touchdowns to offset the lone interception.
The Broncos (1-1) scored three second-half TDs.
Miami returns home next weekend to open Mid-American Conference play against Massachusetts. Kickoff is set for 12 noon.
Ohio 27, Marshall 24 Final
Postgame Notes
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - In a down-to-the-wire finish at Joan C. Edwards Stadium, Ohio Football improved to 3-0 on the season with a 27-24 victory over the Marshall Thundering Herd. A Matt Weller field goal with 97 seconds left put the `Cats ahead for good and a late Jelani Woseley interception sealed the victory.
With the win, Ohio has started 2-0 on the road for the first time since 1976. The victory marks the second straight season in which the Bobcats have opened with three straight wins and also marked the first time Ohio had beaten the Thundering Herd in back-to-back seasons since 1979 and 1980.
Tyler Tettleton moved into fourth place all-time in the Ohio record books for career completions, going 20-of-35 through the air for 200 yards and three touchdowns. The junior quarterback has now completed 342 passes in his career, surpassing Donny Harrison's 334 achieved from 1979-83.
Beau Blankenship led the way on the ground for the Bobcats, rushing 30 times for 107 yards. On the receiving end, Tyler Futrell led all Ohio receivers with five catches for 42 yards and one score.
Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato had an impressive game for the hosts, completing a school record 44 passes on 65 attempts. The sophomore amassed 432 passing yards and three touchdowns.
Cato led the Thundering Herd on two strong drives to open the game. The sophomore quarterback completed 14 of his first 17 passes, throwing for 149 yards and two scores in Marshall's first two possessions of the contest. The Thundering Herd first scored at the 11:08 mark of the first quarter when Cato found Jazz King on a three-yard touchdown strike. Marshall was then able to double its lead at the 6:46 mark, scoring on a five-yard touchdown pass from Cato to Aaron Dobson.
Ohio had two bright spots in the first quarter in the form of big plays, as Kyle Hammonds returned Marshall's first kickoff for a 41-yard gain and Tyler Futrell caught a 23-yard pass up the middle of the field when the `Cats were backed up in their own side of the field. Despite these two big gains, Ohio trailed by 14 at the end of the first quarter.
To begin the second quarter, Ohio showed grit in its first drive. On a drive which spanned from the end of the first quarter through the early minutes of the second, the Bobcats converted three separate third-down attempts en route to scoring their first points of the day. Tettleton capped off a 16-play, 68-yard drive with a six-yard touchdown pass to tight end Troy Hill to pull the Bobcats within one score at 14-7. The touchdown reception was the first of Hill's career.
Following a 22-yard Matt Weller field goal which cut the deficit to four at 14-10, Ohio engineered its longest drive of the season to take its first lead of the game. The Bobcats put together a 13-play, 96-yard drive which lasted 3:51 and culminated in a four yard Tettleton touchdown pass to Futrell.
Taking a 17-14 lead into halftime, Ohio held an edge in total offense. The Bobcats ran 47 plays for 255 total yards in the first half compared to Marshall's 34 plays for 212 yards. Ohio also held an edge in time of possession, holding the ball for 16:47 compared to Marshall's 13:13. One of the most notable parts of the first half was Ohio's success on third downs, as the Bobcats were 6-of-9 with their offensive drives on the line.
Marshall (1-2) was able to reclaim the lead with 5:20 remaining in the third quarter when Cato found Gator Hoskins just inside the pylon with a precise 14-yard touchdown pass. The touchdown pass was Cato's third of the evening and following the ensuing extra point, gave the Thundering Herd a 21-17 lead.
Daz'mond Patterson made an immediate impact on the next drive, rushing for back-to-back gains of more than ten yards to earn the Bobcats two first downs. Ohio's drive was ultimately stalled at its own 47, however.
The Thundering Herd extended its lead to 24-17 with 14:13 remaining in the game when Justin Haig connected on a 37-yard field goal. This scoring play came at the end of a drive which spanned 63 yards on 11 plays and took 3:57 off the clock.
Facing a fourth-and-four at Marshall's 27-yard line, Tettleton came through in a big way, finding a streaking Ryan Clark down the sideline for a perfectly placed 27-yard touchdown pass. The ensuing PAT--the 132nd of Weller's career--leveled the scores at 24 apiece with 10:43 to play in the contest. Ohio was very clutch on this drive, converting three of a possible four third downs.
With Marshall driving late in the fourth quarter, Larenzo Fisher forced a fumble which was recovered by teammate Nathan Carpenter. Carpenter rumbled ahead 48 yards with the ball, putting Ohio's offense in great field position. Weller was able to give the `Cats the lead for good when he nailed a 38-yard field goal with 1:37 left in the game. Woseley was then able to put the game away, intercepting a Cato pass a minute later at the Ohio 23-yard line.
The Bobcats will next be in action on Saturday, Sept. 22 when Norfolk State comes to Peden Stadium. Ohio and the Spartans will kick off at 2 p.m. This will serve as Ohio's final non-conference game of the season.
Toledo 27, Bowling Green 15 Final
Toledo Postgame Notes
TOLEDO - Junior Terrance Owens completed 20-of-28 passes for 303 yards to lead Toledo to a 27-15 victory over arch-rival Bowling Green before a capacity crowd of 28,115 at the Glass Bowl Saturday night.
The victory was the Rockets' third straight vs. the Falcons, earning them the right to hoist the Battle of I-75 trophy after the game.
Owens was sharp all night, mixing in a combination of short passes and downfield heaves. His main target was redshirt freshman Alonzo Russell, who caught a career-high six passes for 152 yards. Junior David Fluellen paced the rushing attack with 81 yards and two TDs.
Toledo's defense played an inspired game, holding the Falcons' potent offense to 351 yards and just nine points until early in the fourth quarter when BGSU cut the lead to 24-15 on John Pettigrew touchdown. But Toledo soaked up nearly eight minutes of the clock on its next drive before Jeremiah Detmer kicked a 42-yard field goal with 5:42 to close out the scoring and effectively decide the contest.
Toledo led at halftime, 17-3, opening the scoring on a 66-yard bomb from Owens to Russell on its second drive of the game. The Rockets extended the lead to 17-0 in the second quarter on a 27-yard field goal by Jeremiah Detmer and a one-yard plunge by Fluellen. The Falcons cracked the scoring ice on the last play of the first half on a 32-yard field goal by Tyler Tate.
The Rockets marched down the field in just four plays on their first possession, scoring on a 22-yard bolt from Fluellen. BGSU immediately countered with a six-play drive that was capped by a 23-yard score by Anthon Samuel, cutting the lead to 24-9.
Toledo's defense came up big later in the quarter, stopping the Falcons on fourth-and-12 from the UT 14-yard line. But a Fluellen fumble gave the ball right back to Bowling Green, and the Falcons converted the turnover into six points on a two-yard run by Pettigrew, BGSU's last points of the game.
The Rockets will be back home next Saturday in a non-conference battle vs. Coastal Carolina in a 7:00 p.m. kick at the Glass Bowl.
Ball State 41, Indiana 39 Final
Postgame Notes
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - The Ball State football team (2-1) defeated Big Ten foe and BCS school Indiana University (2-1) by a score of 41-39, Saturday night at Memorial Stadium on a game winning 42-yard field goal by Steven Schott as time expired.
The game would come down to the fourth quarter, after Indiana scored a touchdown with 49 seconds left in the contest after a six-play, 77-yard drive. Junior quarterback Keith Wenning and the offense answered back after marching down the field to put themselves into position for a field goal.
The win marks the Cardinals third straight victory over the Hoosiers dating back to 2008 and twice under the guidance of second year Ball State head coach Pete Lembo (2011, 2012).
Wenning had a good day offensively with three touchdown passes to move past Brent Baldwin (1993-96) and into a tie with Dave Wilson (1976-79) for fifth place on Ball State's career touchdown passes list with 36.
Defensively in the fourth quarter, Ball State managed to record its third sack of the game. Junior defensive end Jonathan Newsome along with classmate linebacker Kenneth Lee led the Cardinals in sacks with two apiece.
The Hoosiers did add a TD with 4:07 left in the game to make the score 38-32. Indiana would then attempt the onside kick in attempt to get the ball back but Ball State recovered it. Soon after, the Hoosiers got the ball back and scored to take the 39-38 lead.
In the opening minutes of the third quarter, junior wide receiver Jamill Smith threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Wenning to give Ball State the 31-25 edge over the Hoosiers. The pass and the reception marked the first for Smith and Wenning. The Cardinals added another TD with 4:11 on the clock after Wenning found Fakes in the endzone for 11 yards to put Ball State up 38-25 over Indiana. The touchdown marked Fakes second of the day and fourth of his career.
Indiana got on the board first in the opening minutes of the game, when kicker Mitch Ewald nailed a 26-yard field goal. After battling defensively with the Hoosiers, the Cardinals got on the board at the 9:05 mark in the first quarter after Wenning connected on a two-yard touchdown pass to senior tight end Zane Fakes.
Ball State got the ball back on the Indiana 45-yard line after the Cardinals defense stopped the Hoosiers on a fourth and one. The ensuing possession resulted in a Ball State touchdown after Wenning threw a 34-yard TD pass to sophomore wide receiver Willie Snead making it a 14-3 contest. Indiana would then score its first touchdown of the quarter with 4:20 remaining off of a 13-yard TD run from running back Stephen Houston.
In the second quarter, Indiana scored first to put them ahead of the Cardinals 17-14. Ball State would knot the game at 17-17 at the 7:35 mark after senior kicker Steven Schott kicked a 51 yard field goal. Schott's field goal was his second 50-plus yard field goal of the season.
Sophomore Jahawan Edwards had a 1-yard touchdown run at the 4:35 mark in the second quarter to give the lead to Cardinals, 24-17. The touchdown marks Edwards 15th of his career and fourth this season. Indiana ended the half with a touchdown and the two-point conversion to head into the locker room with the 25-24 edge over Ball State.

Megabass Pony Gabot Frog - $15.99
Just when you thought that frog fishing couldn't get any more exciting, along comes the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog. Built with a unique catamaran-style mouth that took over two-years to develop, the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog hits bass with a lethal combination of splashing, slapping, and walking. The specially engineered mouth of Megabass Pony Gabot Frog does more than just spit water, it also stabilizes the body and reduces rolling when blow-ups occur - for an increased strike-to-hook up ratio. And if that wasn't enough, the mouth also allows the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog to pivot in place and sashay across the surface with a textbook walk-the-dog motion. Additionally, the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog is also built with a line-tie in-between the super-sharp double frog hook that permits anglers to attach an optional spinner blade. Finished with two tantalizing ponytails, the Megabass Pony Gabot Frog just raised the bar for hollow-bodied frogs everywhere.

Comments: This frog is no good, sinks halfway through a retrieve. Stick with the Spro frog, easily the best on the market. Not often that Megabass misses with a bait, but this frog is garbage.
From: Gary: Toledo Bend, LA 3/11/14
Comments: I thought the frog was a waste because it sank.I sealed the hole around the hooks and punched out the preset hole on top and I love the frog now! well worth it just seal the hole.
From: bigdre585: Rochester NY
Comments: I was afraid this frog would sink after seeing a similar reveiw sure enough mine sinks too theres a hole where the hook comes out, seems like a defect on some frogs not all my guess is that some one at megabass is snipping away too much material because mine has cut marks. Not what i expected from megabass .
From: Anthony: franklin park, il. Usa
Comments: the frog has good action it's super easy to walk but mines tore at the mouth
From: Chomps: LBC
Comments: Awesome frog with amazing action!! Downside is the material is weak and will tear at the catamaran mouth

Lady Sophia's Lover
Someone to Watch Over Me
Stranger in My Arms
Suddenly You
Where Dreams Begin
Someone to Watch Over Me
Stranger in My Arms
Suddenly You
Where Dreams Begin
Lottie has remained hidden on his Hampshire country estate for two years. None of the men Radnor had sent after her had been able to find her. But those men hadn't the skill or the determination of Nick Gentry. He poses as Lord John Sydney, and arranges to join a weekend party given by the earl, certain that he will be able to find Lottie and earn the very large fee that Radnor will pay him for her return.
Nick Gentry has been a Bow Street runner for three years, but he grew up as a pickpocket and a thief, becoming a thief-taker and a crime lord as an adult. Three years ago he made his own bargain with the devil, Sir Ross Cannon, a Bow Street magistrate who was not only his bitterest enemy but also his brother-in-law, married to his older sister. Sir Ross suppressed information about his criminal activities after Nick agreed to work for him for an unspecified length of time as a runner, catching his former criminal associates. Nick's success soon caught the attention of others who needed people found, and he frequently accepted outside contracts, most recently from Lord Radnor.
But while Nick has a miniature of Lottie to help him identify her, and has interviewed her family, he knows next to nothing about the desperation Lottie felt when she deserted her family, nor about the years of horror she had endured at the hands of her husband-to-be that had fueled that desperation. He does know, however, that he is sexually attracted to her like he has never been before. While Lottie is an innocent, she also feels the overpowering attraction between them. But her dreams of happiness are shattered when Westcliffe forces Nick to reveal that he's been hired to take her back to Radnor.
When the men see how frantic she is to escape Radnor, they both offer to marry her, and she accepts Nick, based on the sexual connection between them. They return to London immediately and are married, only to discover that Sir Ross has made decisions in Nick's absence that have changed his life and his plans forever. Lottie also realizes that her new husband has secrets in his past that have forced him to become the man he is and that control their relationship as husband and wife.
This is one of Kleypas' best novels to date, with fully-realized and complex characters and a maze of storylines that make a plot summary fiendishly difficult. However, all this also makes it a fascinating read, all but impossible to put down. Both Nick and Lottie are flawed, damaged by the events of their pasts, although Lottie has been able to overcome hers far more than Nick has. Unfortunately, the one flaw in the book is that when the reader finally discovers the secret that Nick has hidden since he was a teenager, which has been built upon since the first pages of the novel, the incident does not seem to be of sufficient strength to trigger the trauma he has suffered since then. However, this may be deliberate, as the author may be showing how Nick took what happened and created something much more horrific from it. He could have perhaps recovered from the actual trauma, but not from what he made of it, sentencing himself to years of isolation, guilt, and loneliness. Because of that, he was a virgin until he was twenty-four and a very knowledgeable and understanding madam relieved him of that burden and then tutored him for years in a wide variety of sexual techniques. Therefore, he knows exactly what to do to bring Lottie's passionate side to life. The sexual scenes are fiery, detailed and arousing, especially Lottie's introduction to the pleasures of Tantric sex.
While the sexual tension between Lottie and Nick is instantaneous, their relationship out of bed builds slowly and realistically, as they gradually become friends as well as lovers. Sir Ross and Sophia, who readers may have met previously in Lady Sophia's Lover, are an integral part of this book, and readers have a chance to see how their happily ever ending really worked out. The author's descriptions of London, especially Fleet Ditch and the other slums Nick lived and worked in, are fascinating and revolting at once, as she reveals the squalor of extreme poverty in that time period. They stand in stark contrast to the equally detailed descriptions of the homes and lives of the London elite, who live in incredible luxury. Carefully described settings, three-dimensional characters who behave in realistic, yet frequently unexpected ways help create an intriguing world that the reader can step into with complete confidence that no suspension of disbelief will be necessary.
Worth Any Price does indeed bear out the promise of its title and its cover.

NEW YORK — The Orioles have done the improbable so many times this year that it's starting to seem commonplace, so why wouldn't they suddenly be standing on the threshold of the American League Championship Series?
They managed to sneak out of the Bronx on Thursday night with another in their amazing collection of extra-inning victories and have set up the delectable possibility of another wild and crazy champagne celebration Friday in the bowels of Yankee Stadium.
It's hard to imagine anything matching the full-contact free-for-all that took place at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington last Friday night, but it's also impossible to predict how an Orioles team will react if they vanquish their most storied rival in the stadium that is considered by many to be the center of the baseball universe.
Of course, all they have to do to win the Division Series is follow up their taut, 13-inning victory in Game 4 with a similar performance against Yankees ace CC Sabathia, who was the winning pitcher in Game 1 and has won five of his last six decisions in postseason play. The Orioles will counter with right-hander Jason Hammel, who also pitched very well in the series opener even though he had gone almost a month between starts because of lingering knee soreness.
Maybe this best-of-five playoff series was always destined to come down to a climactic fifth game, but you never would have known that just 22 hours earlier, when the Orioles were reeling from a heart-breaking extra-inning loss that included two ultra-dramatic home runs by late-inning substitution Raul Ibanez.
If ever a young team had reason to fold up its sanitary socks and sleepwalk through Game 4, it was the Orioles, who were just two outs away from taking a 2-1 advantage in the series when Yankees manager Joe Girardi made the tough decision to pinch hit Ibanez for slumping $29 million superstar Alex Rodriguez.
Everyone knows what happened next, but no one could predict how the Orioles would respond when they returned to the ballpark Thursday to fight for their postseason survival against a well-heeled opponent that had to be walking on air.
Manager Buck Showalter tried to minimize the psychological impact of that defeat during the pregame news conference Thursday, but there would be no way to really measure the effect of that deflating loss until the Orioles took the field for Game 4.
"We've been in this position before, and you know, we'll see how it turns out,'' Showalter said. "Our guys are the same — in a good frame of mind. I always take a little pulse check. Not a lot going on different. But no, I feel good about where they are mentally. It's not the first time that they've had a challenge this year."
He was hoping it would not be the last and his wish was granted because veteran pitcher Joe Saunders came up big for the second time in a "sudden-life" game, following up his victory over the Texas Rangers in the one-and-done wild-card round with another gutty 5 2/3 innings in a ballpark that is the sport's biggest pressure-cooker.
Throw in a fifth-inning home run by leadoff man Nate McLouth, another tour de force performance by the bullpen and some more of the Orioles' patented extra-inning mojo and they suddenly were alive again and looking forward to another chance to upend Sabathia, who threw a strong game Sunday night but did not pitch very well against the Orioles in his three regular season starts (though all of them were at Camden Yards).
Now, all they need is a little more of what they have been serving up throughout this surprising and uplifting season.
Call it Oriole Magic.
Call it Buck-ling Up.
Call it anything you want.
The Orioles proved their intestinal fortitude for the umpteenth time Thursday night and kept their title hopes alive for at least one more day.
What happens next is anybody's guess, but – as Showalter is so fond of saying – in a few hours your curiosity will be satisfied.

Pituitary Tumors
What Is Pituitary Tumors? TOPICS
Previous Topic
What are pituitary tumors?
What are the key statistics about pituitary tumors?
About 8,000 pituitary tumors are diagnosed each year in the United States. Almost all of these tumors are benign adenomas. Very few pituitary tumors are cancers (carcinomas).
The number of pituitary tumors that are diagnosed may be much lower than their actual number. When examining people who have died or who have had imaging tests (like MRI scans) of their brain for other health problems, doctors have found that as many as 1 out of 4 of people may have a pituitary adenoma without knowing it. These tumors are often small and never cause any symptoms or health problems, so very few of them would normally be diagnosed at all.
Pituitary tumors can occur at any age (including in children), but they are most often found in older adults.

wow i really like the last couple of posts you did! the improvement in your work is great!
Great stuff, for sure. You've got a nice style going on.
For crits: maybe mix it up a little? Do some more drawings of males, animals, or still lifes? Try out some different mediums? I've got the same problem - mostly drawing females with pencil. Alas, broadening your horizons will help you improve, and I'm sure whatever you churn out will look just lovely.
Keep it up, and goodluck!
great improvement over the year Barts, keep on keeping on
Woot!~ thanx guys lil update of a unfinished CHOW entry
A little update not much for such a long period of time but oh well.
My first attempt at painter.
Hey bart, how you mate? How's adelaide? settling down well? good to see you still posting once in a while, hehe. I think it's needs a little bit more definition like in the area of mouth or eyes.. you know focal point, and a bit of contrast!. cheers
hey mate, nice to see a local
Ive noticed that a lot of youre figures are quite short, your last guy was bout 5-6 heads tall by my count. They should add up to 8 heads tall. ALso you need more tonal indifference, just because an area is light, doesnt mean it should be white, and youre dark areas black, and shades in between.
try some different mediums, felt tip pens and copic markers are great, and prismacolours add nice texture to them.
keep posting and vary your subject matter, do some anatomy studies, some still lifes, enviro thumbnails, gestures, observational drawings..whatever go nuts

bumskee- yes i do agree about the definition in the "eyeal" area and yeah i did know it haha
blanquish - im sorry but i disagree with the height of my last figure by my count he is about 7 heads tall but he is slouching also, and yeas i do do lots more drawing and havent had time to scan or take pictures of them, but thanks for stopping by.
come on ppl someone relpy i need feedback
Those most recent reffed works look great and the non reffed stuff is improving.
Keep Posting
Thanks for replying draw here is a huge DUMP for u peeps!!
Most pictures are all of my girlfriend with one picture a doodle of hands and forearms my main aim was to focus on rendering with those pictures and not proportions.
crit me please guys
Hey Barts whats goin on? I like the thread You seem to be on your way, I love the last dump. Only thing I can say is keep that girl of yours around reference is key, whether its a picture or just a shitty still it well help you every step of the way.If there are open drawing classes near you go, there priceless. Well thats all I got to say, keep up the progress.
hey bart! nice solid work, it's very interesting to see you work with negative shapes too.. those hands and forearms look great. she's looks adorable btw. love this one..http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y67..._22/Emily3.jpg !!
I do think you should update more often though, MORE! keep drawing mate, hope Adelaide is treating you well! cheers, Min
heres a crit-
slow down the rendering, and think more about the contrast.
Its kinda messy, and looks like youve done it too quickly.
Come on dude, update more often!!!

Hey there, thanks for the replies.
Bumskee- Thanks mate, yeah i find blocking in negative shapes firstly conveys more of what i want to capture and yeah she is adorable, hehe thanks again mate.
Blanquish - Thanks for stopping by, the scan actually portrays those drawings rather more messy than what they actually are, they really took me a long time to do, maybe ill re scan them or something to show what they really look like, but thanks again
Here's a lil update, w.i.p of another emily picture, eyes without reference and an unfinished elf just experimenting with brushes.
Hey another update here, one is a lil study of a wes sketch but changed a lil bit and another picture is a pic from ref with a lil bit of change aswell, these are both from a sketchbook that i lost at uni .
This stuff is looking great, mate...lol, that rhymed.
There's definitely been an improvement from the beginning of your thread. Keep at it- and keep posting... I love your portraits!
I really like the recent sketch of the kid. Your ps refed stuff is coming along nicely as well. I was trying to think of what it is that's missing, and I think your eyes identified it. My suggestion with them was to go look at some hogarth eyes or any of android's sps to get a feel for the structure around the eye - lids etc. Looking at your refed and unrefed work it seems that your skipping the underlying stucture and just drawing the outside as a flat object. Think about, and draw, the underlying structure. Then when rendering it think about the 3d forms - put in contour lines if you have to.
Keep it updated!

Hey another update really tired just did some lip and eye studies real quick before bed im so so tired, mmmm so here they are they arent prefect but it is practice.
really like the contrast on the first one in post #41
in your drawings with outlines maybe you could work with the line quality more? making it thicker where theres shadow and so on. I suck at that
My sketchbook: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=78068
Great range of eye studies, keep it up. My next suggestion would be to try doing sets of eyes (like right + left, same face) to get a feel for that part of the facial structure too.
And keep updating :p

Ok thanks very much for replying,
here is my self portrait for the self portrait day
and a quick paint in ps.
nice studies. they look a bit rushed though, maybe you could take more care with the planes, like the top plane of the lower lid is usually lit..it has a really nice effect if you can capture it...just small things that make a big difference sometimes. i like the latest sp though, has a cool washed out feel.
Thanks Rod, just gettin back into the
swing of actually drawing since the silly
desing course has sapped my drawing
practice, so here are 2 lifes drawings that
i have taken photos of and 2 quick ps pics.
Yepp Kewl,
