SYCAMORE - Jeremy Nutter said he's rarely felt more pride. His three sons will likely have an appreciation for that fact.
Nutter's Hopewell-Loudon offense put together its most impressive performance in piling up 431 total yards on the way to a 41-19 Midland Athletic League win over Mohawk.
Warrior Field has often been the site of dominating performances, but usually it has been Mohawk putting on the show. On this night, it was all Hopewell-Loudon almost all the time as the Chieftains improved to 4-2 overall and retained a share of first place in the league with Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic at 3-0.
"Mohawk is obviously so explosive offensively, we had to keep the football and keep them off the field," Nutter said after watching his club record 26 first downs. "That's the task we gave our offensive line and that's exactly what they did.
"I could not possibly be prouder," he said. "Short of the birth of my children, this is one of the best days."
Senior Mark Bouillon topped 200 yards rushing for the second straight week, this time going for 233 yards on 44 carries while scoring five touchdowns.

The Chieftains had a 12-play scoring drive in the first quarter and followed it up with a 13-play march in the second.
But those were quickies compared to their third-quarter dominance in which they had the ball for all but 15 seconds. Incredibly, H-L only managed a 7-6 scoring edge in the quarter as Mohawk running back Gunnar Johnson raced 54 yards for a touchdown on the Warriors' only snap of the session.
Meanwhile, Hopewell-Loudon opened the half with an 11-play scoring drive and the third-period clock ran out while the Chieftains were in the process of using 17 plays for another score.
"Their offense was their best defense tonight because we never had the ball," Warrior coach Erik Baker said. "I told the guys at half, 'They are not beating you with big plays; they're chewing you to death. It was 5 yards here, 3 yards there and 8 yards there."
Bouillon opened the scoring with a 3-yard smash for a 6-0 lead with 3:25 left in the first period. But Warrior quarterback Drew Loose broke free for a 66-yard touchdown run to tie it less than a minute later. Loose finished the game with 104 yards on nine carries, including a 56-yard sprint that closed the scoring late in the fourth period.
"If he finds a seam, Loose is going to take it to the house," Nutter said. "I'm disappointed that we didn't play him better on the back side of our defense. He'll do that to you. Sometimes, he'll just make you look stupid."
The Chieftains countered with another long drive that featured a 13-yard run by Cody Malone and a 16-yard keeper by Alec Gregg. Bouillon got the TD from a yard out.
Logan Tyree's 49-yard punt pinned the Warriors on their own 1 later in the quarter and put H-L in position for Bouillon's bonus score from 2 yards out with 47 seconds left. His run for the extras made it 20-6 at the break.
"Even with what was going on, we were putting up the good fight," Baker said. "But to go down two scores instead of one with them getting the ball to start the second half was not a situation we wanted to be in."
Malone, who finished with 65 yards on 10 carries, had a 7-yard touchdown as the Chieftains opened the third period with a drive of nearly six minutes. After Johnson's score, Hopewell-Loudon was pounding again with Bouillon's 1-yard smash putting the finishing touch on a possession that took 9:38 off the clock.
"In their own way, that's like Carey used to do," Baker said. "When Carey would blow you out, it would be 28-7 and you just never had the ball. We just could never get them off the field. They did a tremendous job converting third downs and eating clock.
"I admire it," he said. "That's the kind of football I like. I just don't like having it done to me."
Bouillon's final score was a bit of an aberration as it covered 31 yards.
"I've said it before, the kid's an iron man," Nutter said of the MAL rushing leader. "He'll never talk about himself. He was embarrassed that I called him out after a game and said what a great performance that was. He doesn't want to hear that. He wants the credit to go to his offensive line. That's just who he is."
His coach was more than willing to offer such credit.
"We've got three seniors - Brock Hill, Brandon Molotla and Jordan Nutter - Brock and Brandon are on the left side of the line and we ran behind them all night." Jeremy Nutter said. "Adam Foos is our center and he had to step in because of injury and has done a fantastic job.
"And I think the best offensive lineman in our league is our right tackle, Weston Hill," he said. "We get behind him and the pile moves. That just the way it is."
That's the way it was on this night and Nutter was like a proud papa all over again.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- On Tuesday, the Greensboro Economic Development Alliance (GEDA) announced that FFF Enterprises, Inc., a California-based biopharmaceutical company is coming to Guilford County.
The company has chosen our area for its new East Coast logistics center and specialty pharmacy. The company is a leading distributor of influenza vaccines, critical-care biopharmaceuticals and other plasma products.
According to a news release, FFF Enterprises will create 31 jobs over three years and invest $7.6 million. The average salary of the jobs will be $41,000. The company plans to construct a new 80,000 square-foot building to be located at Triad Business Park, also home to FedEx Ground.
The presence of a FedEx Express (air) hub at Piedmont Triad International and sizeable ground operations in Greensboro were important factors in FFF Enterprises' decision to locate in Guilford County.
"The decision to expand our business operations to the East Coast is part of a long-term plan of strategic growth for our company," said Patrick M. Schmidt, chief executive officer, FFF Enterprises, Inc. "After an extensive search, the Triad Business Park in Guilford County proved to be an ideal location for our new distribution center. We are looking forward to breaking ground and beginning construction in the very near future."
A privately-owned company, FFF Enterprises currently employs 200 people throughout the country and services over 48,000 customers nationwide. The Guilford County, East Coast logistics center will be FFF Enterprises' second location, allowing more immediate access to 70 percent of its customers. Currently, the company has more than 1,400 customers in North Carolina.
The Greensboro Economic Development Alliance worked closely with Winston Salem Business, Inc. and the High Point Economic Development Corporation throughout the site selection process. FFF Enterprises considered buildings and sites across the Triad before selecting Triad Business Park. The Samet Corporation, developer of Triad Business Park, will construct the new 80,000 square-foot facility.

UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State offensive co-captains Matt McGloin and Michael Zordich have accepted invitations to play in all-star contests.
A record-setting quarterback, McGloin has been invited to play in the Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Challenge. Zordich is set to play in the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl. They join defensive tackle Jordan Hill (Senior Bowl) as Nittany Lions selected to play in all-star games thus far.
The NFLPA Collegiate Bowl is Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013 at 6 p.m. at the Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. ESPN2 will televise the contest. The Texas vs. the Nation game is Saturday, Feb. 2, 2013 at 1:30 p.m. in Allen, Texas. Fox Sports Southwest has the game.
McGloin and Zordich were instrumental in helping Coach Bill O'Brien's Nittany Lions earn an 8-4 overall record and 6-2 Big Ten mark, finishing second in the Leaders Division. The duo helped Penn State lead the Big Ten in total offense (437.0 ypg) in conference games and rank second in scoring offense (32.6 ppg) and pass offense (283.1 ypg) against Big Ten foes.
McGloin capped his superlative senior season by being named the recipient of the Burlsworth Trophy, presented to the nation's top player who began his career as a walk-on. McGloin broke nine school records and tied another during one of the most prolific seasons ever by a Penn State quarterback. His 46 touchdown career passes are among his Penn State records.
For the season, McGloin was 270 of 446 (60.5) for 3,266 yards, with 24 touchdown passes and only five interceptions. He also was second on the team with five touchdown runs. An honorable mention All-Big Ten choice, McGloin was selected Big Ten Co-Offensive Player of the Week on Nov. 19 after throwing for 395 yards, just four yards off the school record, and a career-high tying four touchdowns in Penn State's 45-22 win over Indiana.
The former West Scranton High School standout led the Big Ten in passing yards (272.2 ypg) by nearly 25 yards per game. He also led the conference in completions (270) and touchdown passes (24) and had the fewest interceptions among the Big Ten starting signal-callers. McGloin threw at least one touchdown pass in his last 13 consecutive regular season games, with multiple TD passes in eight games this past season.
A co-recipient of the team's Ridge Riley Award, McGloin earned his degree in journalism.
A running back, Zordich started five games during his senior season and also was one of the squad's premier special teams players, recording four tackles. He was second on the team with 308 yards on 80 carries and had four rushing touchdowns, with a long carry of 25 yards. Zordich also made 15 receptions for 152 yards, with a long catch of 27 yards.
The former Cardinal Mooney High School standout led the Nittany Lions with then career-bests of 50 yards on 11 carries in the 34-7 win over Navy for O'Brien's first career victory. The following week, Zordich re-wrote his career-bests with 75 yards on 15 carries and caught four passes for 39 yards in the win over Temple.
Zordich was the recipient of the team's Robert Mitinger, Jr. Award. He earned his degree in recreation, parks and tourism management.

Anyone who doesn't smoke. Usually very arrogent and ignorant in their opinion. Generally, they make it a hobby to be as ignorant as possible to smokers. Tend to believe they're superior and better than smokers. Also, a majority have never smoked therefore can not understand it from a smokers point of view, but their arrogence blinds them of this. Their arrogence also blinds of the fact that the air in any decent sized city isn't much cleaner.
He doesn't smoke, therefore he's a non smoker.

Mens Basketball Signees to Play Thursday on ESPN
A pair of Ball State men's basketball signees will play in front of a national television audience Thursday at 9:30 p.m. on ESPN.
Guard Jeremie Tyler and forward Rashaun Richardson of Arsenal Tech High School in Indianapolis will square off with Huntington (W. Va.) Prep as part of the GEICO ESPN High School Basketball Showcase.
Both players signed with Ball State in November and will join the Cardinals next season.
Tyler averages 14.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game for a Titans team that also features Kentucky signee Trey Liles. Richardson averages 4.6 points and 4.0 boards.
Arsenal Tech enters the game ranked No. 17 in the country in the USA Today Super 25, while Huntington Prep checks in at No. 21.
Tech is 4-1 on the season, having already defeated Huntington Prep less than two weeks ago at the Marshall County Hoopfest in Kentucky. That win vaulted the Titans into the national rankings.

MURRYSVILLE - Whenever Hollidaysburg appeared to have something going against Franklin Regional, something backfired for the Golden Tigers.
Hollidaysburg battled against a highly-touted Panthers team, but three costly fumbles and some big plays surrendered in the passing game allowed Franklin Regional to pull away for a Greater Allegheny Conference win on its homecoming night, 35-0.
Quarterback Brian Urban led the offense for Hollidaysburg (3-4, 3-3) with 75 yards rushing and another 26 passing, while Cornell running back recruit Dane Brown led Franklin Regional with 150 total yards and a pair of rushing touchdowns.
The Hollidaysburg offense was stifled by a defense that entered the game allowing just seven points per game, but the Tigers' defense was up to the challenge, as nine of the first 10 possessions of the game ended in punts.
Holding a 7-0 lead with 1:54 remaining in the first half, the Panthers had Hollidaysburg's offense backed up to its own 6-yard line and facing a third-and-11.
Urban came through with a huge run that he bounced out to the left sideline, and he crossed midfield with the Franklin Regional defense giving chase.
Defensive back Chris Colucci caught Urban at the 34, and instead of simply tackling him, Colucci hacked the ball out of the quarterback's hands and the Panthers recovered.
"We've got to stop shooting ourselves in the foot," Hollidaysburg coach John Barton said.
"Offensively, that's been one of those things that we've got to shake, but in the same vein, when you've got a great team like Franklin Regional, they create some of those opportunities, too."
On the other sideline, Franklin Regional coach Greg Botta praised the individual play made by his cornerback.
"One of the best linebackers I've ever had, Carter Henderson, made just about his only mistake. He read the play wrong, went the wrong way, and they hit it," Botta said. "Colucci gave a great effort."
Two plays after the fumble, Brown caught a screen pass from Franklin Regional quarterback Nico Lodovico and broke at least two tackles on the way to a 51-yard gain. That set up an 11-yard touchdown scramble by Lodovico with 12 seconds left in the half and gave the Panthers a 14-0 lead.
Despite the late-first-half swing, Barton was pleased with the way his players took on a team that currently sits in a three-way tie atop the conference.
"I asked our kids to go out there with no fear," Barton said. "I told them to lay it on the line and play with a lot of enthusiasm. If you lose a play, go out and win the next play, and I thought they really did that."
Franklin Regional began the second half with the ball, and on its second play, the Hollidaysburg front got to Lodovico. The hit forced the ball to be underthrown, and Urban was there to intercept it.
On the Tigers' first play from scrimmage, however, they fumbled the ball away.
"It's not like we're buried. It's not like we're underwater," Barton said. "The thing I like about this team is that through adversity, they've continued to come back and work hard. If we keep that attitude, we can still achieve what we want to achieve."
Hollidaysburg will host 6-1 Mars next Friday on senior night.

If our language was whiskey. . .Sunday, February 11th, 2007
This month's Mixology Monday, kindly hosted at Jimmy's Cocktail Hour, is all about whiskey. Note, simply whiskey, not necessarily whiskey cocktails. I should have lots to say about this month's topic but somehow I don't.
Of course there are many things I could cover. I could choose a favorite whiskey cocktail and write about that. I could write about my family's ritual of drinking tea with whiskey in the morning on Christmas Day. I could write about a favorite whiskey, maybe Lagavulin or Laphroaig. (more…)

SALEM - 1954 was a tumultuous year for Buckeyes fans. Ohio State was coming off of back-to-back 6-3 seasons in '52 and '53. The collective fan base, aptly nicknamed "Buckeye Nation" today, was fed up with a coach named Woody Hayes who had a record of 16-9-2 to that point during his time in Columbus.
That season the Buckeyes and Hayes went on to defeat six top ranked teams en route to their first conference championship and the 1955 Rose Bowl. The Buckeyes finished their run by securing the school's second national championship, with a No. 1 ranking in the Associated Press poll.
The road to a perfect season that year included an annual bout with Michigan on Nov. 20 in which the Buckeyes defense made a goal-line stand against the Wolverines to highlight a 21-7 win.
Article Photos
From left, Dick Ball, Phil Keller, Will Stamp and Lowell Hone gather before presenting the 'toppled top' from the 1954 win over Michigan which capped a perfect OSU season and marked the last time the goal posts at Ohio Stadium were torn down. The group presented the goal post top at halftime of the Ohio State-Michigan game Saturday, Nov. 20 and it will soon make its permanent home at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center. (Submitted photo)
Fans rushed the field, flooding the playing surface at Ohio Stadium with over 78,000 screaming Buck-nuts.
Five friends - Dick Ball, Richard Britton, Lowell Hone, James King and Will Stamp - all optometry students and members of the Epsilon Psi Epsilon fraternity, wouldn't be left out as they too joined in on the festivities taking place on the field.
Stamp, a Salem resident and 1950 graduate of Salem High School was among the students who was at Ohio Stadium that day - the last time that a goal post was torn down at Ohio State.
"I think we were standing around, more than anything. Well, I suppose we were pushing on the goal post and helping rock it," Stamp said with a chuckle.
After taking down the North goal post, the group traveled from the stadium, through the Oval and onto High Street behind the optometric fraternity house. That's where the five friends got the idea that they would like to have a piece of history as a keepsake for the fraternity.
"We wanted the ball at the top," Stamp said. "We said 'all we want is the ball, you can have the post,' so I don't know where the rest of it went. We cut it off with a hacksaw and were going to continue downtown with the group but we decided not to."
The five friends decided to display the top on the mantle in the living room of the Epsilon Psi Epsilon living room.?They had hoped that the top would remain there to commemorate the win over their rival and the Rose Bowl victory that followed.?Years had passed and new members of the fraternity were unaware of the story of the top and what it stood for. The decision was made that it was no longer a necessary centerpiece for the living room and the top was tossed out.?The group returned one weekend for an alumni event in which they reunited at the fraternity house. Unfortunately the "toppled top" was nowhere to be found.
"He would go back almost every year to the fraternity house and look around," said wife Barb. "He would walk down in the basement and see if someone put it somewhere else. I can remember him doing that about three or four times."?As time went on the five begin to settle across Ohio, Michigan and South Dakota. But they still kept in touch and would often muse over the game and what followed.?They had all but given up hope and finding their lost trophy.
"Well, the feeling is that they made a lot bigger deal about it than what I thought it would be," he said. "It turned out to be a real exciting thing, for all of us really. We all enjoyed it. Of course, getting older it's nice to have something like that in your background."?Jim King, one of his fellow optometrists and accomplices that day decided to submit the story of the toppled top to an optometry alumni magazine.?Little did they know one of their own, an Ohio State graduate in fellow optometrist Phil Keller had been keeping the ball as a memento of his own for several years.?Keller, on a visit to the university himself, had found the relic outside and became interested.?After scooping it up, the top was kept among other Ohio State artifacts until Kings' article surfaced this spring.?Keller notified the school of optometry in search of King but only to find out that he had sadly passed away.?Instead he was able to find Ball, who passed along the information to the remaining friends.
"I was in disbelief," she said. "I mean golly, somebody really had it. They weren't sure until they saw the picture of it but when they did they knew that's exactly what it was."?The remaining friends were reunited yet again Nov. 24 at the Ohio State-Michigan game.
"These guys had more fun reminiscing than you would believe," said Barb. "You've never seen three guys so ecstatic over something."?58 years after their initial parade from Ohio Stadium through the oval to the optometry house, Stamp, Ball and Hone were once again on the field at The Horseshoe in a celebration that had come full circle.
"It was exciting," Stamp said. "Ohio State won and went undefeated, which hadn't happened for many years. That year Woody Hayes had that perfect season and then won the national championship."?Again, Stamp watched as the Buckeyes defeated the Wolverines to secure an undefeated season.
"And being at the Michigan game, that was a big thing, too, naturally with Ohio State winning, it topped it off," Stamp said.
"Oh my, it was almost like they were seniors at school again," Barb said. They were so happy together reminiscing everything. You could just see the joy in their eyes."?This time however the goal posts would be spared in the on-field celebration.
"We went down on the field afterwards, and of course the Ohio State Troopers are surrounding the goal posts," Barb said. "I said to them, 'Do you guys realize that these three here are the reason you have to stand here?'"
"We tried to get a picture with them trying to arrest them but they wouldn't cooperate," she continued. "They were willing to play along, but these guys didn't want to. I said 'oh you don't want to repeat history?'"?The optometry school has rallied around the story of the toppled top, Displaying the story on its website along with an interactive Google map that lets you walk the route the five friends took that night.?For now, the top will remain on display at the Thompson Library until December. It will then make its permanent residence at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center, where it will be on display for all to see, and learn about the last time a goal post was brought down at Ohio Stadium.
"It's a nice memory," Stamp said.

Maddie is a crazy girl, usually a brunette. She is protective of what she loves and she would never let them get hurt. She is a very straight-forward girl who isn't afraid to let anyone know what they need to hear. Maddie is laid back and calm until you give her a reason not to be. She's a great friend to have and always has her friends backs. Maddie's usually a drinker, and when she drinks too much she gets a little messy. Overall, she is a great person and her love is real.
Damn, I wish my girl could be like yours.
Dude, get yourself a Maddie.

A girl who is outgoing, funny and just fun to be around. She wastes her energy and time making other people happy because it's just who she is. She can be an absolute bitch and will literally go to any lengths to prove she is right. People who don't know her, won't understand that she's a blessing and not a nuisance, although she might act outrageously from time to time. But she is literally one of those people you are just lucky to have as a friend.
That is such a Maddie thing to do.

He's the ManNow that Emmitt Smith is the Dancing with the Stars champ, does the football star's wife Pat have any apprehensions that he'll have a big head? "Not at all," she told us. "He's going to be so easy to live with."
A New RoleAfter getting the boot in Week Two, Shanna Moakler doesn't stray far from the DWTS set. She just took on a new position – as a special correspondent for Extra! Since then, she's been a staple in the press room, and before Wednesday's show Moakler popped in to "say hello to my fellow journalists," adding, "I miss you guys so much," before heading to her seat in the audience with the other season three dancers.
The Jealous TypeJerry Springer is territorial – at least on the dance floor. He has some issues with Season One's Joey McIntyre swooping in for a waltz with his professional dance partner, Kym Johnson, on the DWTS tour. "Joey, shmoey," Springer joked. "If I see him dance one slow dance with her..." But, as it turns out, Springer might not be too far away. "I think I will show up to some of the (tour) dates near Chicago (or) Ohio," he told us. "It will be fun."
Secret UnionIn between all the dancing, some on Dancing with the Stars even find time for romance. On Wednesday's finale,Harry Hamlin's dance partner, Ashley Del Grosso, told us she and fiancé Michael Costa Jr., a producer, married on Oct. 21 in Los Angeles. "We gave our families a week's notice," the 24-year-old Del Grosso said. "We met on the show on Season One."
Dead HeatTuesday's Dancing with the Stars final competition was full-throttle excitement from start to its dead heat finish. For the second week in a row, the finalists – Mario Lopez and Emmitt Smith – received identical scores from the judges, leaving them deadlocked with 89 out of a possible 90 points. Their fate now, well, it remains in the hands of the millions of voting viewers.
Voters' RightsThey may not be old enough to elect the president, but two of Emmitt Smith's daughters exercised their DWTS-given right to vote – for their dad. After the show, Smith's two older daughters stood on the steps of the stage and voted on cell phones. Smith's wife, Pat, said she was frustrated trying to get through on her cell phone. "We're using all the phones, pulling out all the stops," she said.
Veteran CheerleadersSeason Two DWTS alums – Stacy Keibler, Drew Lachey, George Hamilton and Lisa Rinna – came out to witness – and vicariously relive – the competition. "I was so excited to get here tonight," Keibler said of her first night back at the studio since last season's finale. "Just seeing Emmitt and Mario, I started getting anxiety because it all started flooding back to when I was in their shoes. It's really great to be on the other side and enjoy it."
Sunny DispositionIf everyone looked a bit darker on tonight's show, it's because many got a fresh spray tan from the makeup department. "I got sprayed twice and it was way too dark," Inaba told PEOPLE. "I had to actually put on some makeup to make my skin look lighter."
Gun SlingerEmmitt Smith has managed to stay pretty buttoned up all season. But Tuesday night he revealed everything he's been keeping up his sleeves. "All season long I danced with costumes with sleeves and so I hid a whole lot," Smith said. But Tuesday, Smith went sleeveless, exposing his NFL-toned biceps in his two costumes. "You save some of the best stuff for last," he explained. "If you're going to let loose, this is the time to do it."

On Tuesday, April 9, Sangaree Elementary's 2nd grade classes predicted, graphed and analyzed data to make educated guesses if Mrs. Ferguson was going to have a baby boy or a baby girl. The reveal was celebrated with blue balloons letting the second grade students know Mrs. Ferguson was having a boy. This real life math lesson used many Common Core Standards and was just plain fun.

5 True Stories That Shatter Your Image of Famous Rock Icons
Music history is littered with rebellious figures who courted controversy at every turn in their career. Some of the more troubled of these souls succumbed to their respective demons and left us while their badassery was still in its relative prime and, as such, are remembered accordingly.
Antoine Antoniol/Getty Images
Even the poetry spouting hippies.
That didn't always happen, though. Like anyone else, the rock music rebel who doesn't die before he gets old has to grow up some time. When they do, the results can often be the exact opposite of rocking.
Here are five total pussy moves by former music badasses ...
#5. Slash Invents His Own Emoticon
Dave Etheridge-Barnes/Getty Images Entertainment
Are you looking for an easy-to-type symbol that perfectly represents the moment when you realized rock was dead? Sure thing, here you go:
Did the Planters guy start smoking?
What in the name of Lemmy Kilmister is that, you ask? Why it's the totes adorbz emoticon that steel-livered rock legend Slash signs off on his tweets with.
Someone's social media team was paid a lot of cocaine for this tweet.
If you're confused, it's a guy in a top hat with a cigarette in his mouth. He's also winking, because the emoticon version of Slash wants to be your boyfriend.
I once saw an interview where the weirdo from Jane's Addiction (you know the one) says something about how thinking for too long about the events surrounding the death of Kurt Cobain won't put you in a great mood. I'd make the same argument about letting your mind obsess over how Slash came to have his own stupid emoticon.
I mean, what's the good answer there? Is it that Slash came up with this dumb shit on his own? Is that how you want to picture Slash in his late 40s? Sitting around expending the same amount of energy that went into the "Sweet Child O' Mine" guitar solo figuring out what combination of punctuation marks most resembles a man in a top hat desperately clinging to relevance?
That's not a pretty picture, is it? So what's the alternative? That Slash has a social media team now? This was a move suggested by some 22-year-old dude named Ian, and Slash considered it and was like, "Yep, that's what I should be doing these days"? Also a pretty harrowing option for anyone hoping to still hold Slash in any kind of regard as a badass.
The only way that emoticon-sealed tweet isn't the third saddest moment in the history of Guns N' Roses (behind the Chinese Democracy album and a surprise coming later) is if it was actually composed and sent from the bed of a sleazy motel room by the barely 18-year-old chick Slash woke up next to that afternoon.

Pictured: the most embarrassing Super Bowl halftime show since whatever happened the year before this.
But I suspect it's been a long time since that would have been the case.
#4. Iggy Pop's Chrysler 300 Commercial (John Varvatos Edition)
Matt Roberts/Getty Images Entertainment
Remember when Iggy Pop used to pull crazy stunts like rolling around in shards of glass onstage and taking publicity photos of his gigantic wang and all that fun stuff? Well that was a long goddamn time ago, and if you need proof of that, look no further than the final moments of this otherwise innocuous Chrysler 300 commercial:
In case you didn't have time to watch it, what you missed was Iggy Pop, the former most dangerous man in rock, getting all moist in the pants over a Chrysler 300.
Not just any Chrysler 300, though. Oh no, this is a Chrysler 300 John Varvatos Edition. And who is John Varvatos? Well, he's some fucking guy who owns a fashion line or something. He used to work for Ralph Lauren back in the '80s. Does he have any specific ties to all of that raucous Iggy Pop lore that might make this seemingly unlikely pairing make sense? Nope. John Varvatos just teamed up with Chrysler to make a car, and someone asked Iggy Pop to do the commercial and the money was right so he said yes. It could have just as easily been Charlie Wilson from the Gap Band waiting for that ride on the Varvatos wagon.
Don't get me wrong, a lot of aging rockers make commercials that make no sense. Iggy Pop shouldn't have to be excluded from that gold rush just because Raw Power was an especially important album or whatever. That said, if you're going to start using your persona to sell cars, you don't get to use it for shit like this also:
That's the cover of the new Iggy and The Stooges album. Strap that dynamite to Chris Brown and we'd be debating that cover art for months, especially when you take into account that the album comes out April 30, just a few short weeks after the Boston Marathon bombing. There has been no such controversy surrounding this new Iggy and The Stooges record though, because when you start making Chrysler commercials with John Varvatos, the rest of us get to stop pretending you're scary. When that "bomb vest" goes off, don't be surprised if it just shoots 25 Best Buy T-shirts promoting this stupid album into the air.
Even that album title can kiss my ass. Iggy Pop is like 75 years old. Everyone is ready to die by that age. Most people just aren't so deluded about their badassery that they still think it's a bold stance that late in life.
#3. James Hetfield Lets Lars Ulrich Scream in His Face Without Consequence
Chris Weeks/Getty Images
No matter what your feelings about Metallica and the general direction of their career after "The Black Album" (I know that's not the real name, shut up) may be, there's one thing all of us can agree on: Lars Ulrich is a huge bag of douche. If you're looking for a second and third thing we can all agree on, it's that Kirk Hammett is probably gay and James Hetfield has no time for your shit.
Valerie Macon/Getty Images Entertainment
As seen in this photo.
Every one of those assumptions was rocked to the core when the behind-the-scenes documentary Some Kind of Monster hit movie theaters. Except for the one about Lars Ulrich being a huge douche, that was still very apparent. It's the other two who changed in the eyes of anyone who'd had preconceived notions of what the inner workings of a Metallica studio session must be like.
If you've never seen the movie, it basically tells the story of a band on the verge of breaking up. Attempts to record a new album have stalled, everyone hates each other ... real "Behind the Music" type stuff. What's shocking about the movie, though, is how the band decides to deal with all that turmoil. In-studio boxing ring? Laser tag? A trip to a shooting range? Nope, they bring in a Cosby sweater-wearing therapist who helps the band talk through their feelings. Of course, it was Lars Ulrich's stupid idea, and that's what made it all so sad. Check out this scene from the movie, for example:
Within the first five seconds of the video, James Hetfield asks if they can fire the therapist. Lars shoots back with something about how important the therapy is to the record they're working on, and James Hetfield's only response is to look as bummed as anyone has ever looked about anything.
"I didn't write 'Hit the Lights' for this shit."
Tellingly, the next shot is of the band launching into what sounds like the mopiest Metallica song of all time.
For his part, Kirk Hammett was mostly of the "Hey, how about we just play some music?" opinion throughout most of the movie. That's certainly an admirable stance to take. He was rewarded for it when the shitburger of an album that resulted from this fiasco featured a total of zero guitar solos.
Classic Metallica!
The real revelation here was James Hetfield, though. For as long as Metallica has been a band, he's been the one you just knew you didn't want to cross. He looks like he's about 7 feet tall, he's got that crazy chin beard for crazy people ... he's just intimidating as fuck. Or at least he was up until this point. In Some Kind of Monster he eventually morphs into the one spearheading the "recovery" process, imposing strict daytime work hours on the band and just generally wussying up the entire Metallica brand with lyrics that sounded like they should be on the back of an AA pamphlet. And then this happened:
That's Lars Ulrich ranting at and ultimately screaming in James Hetfield's face. Here, I had our team of twentysomethings make it into a GIF for you, I know how the Internet loves this sort of thing:
The fact that Lars Ulrich pulled a stunt like that and survived without a fractured eye socket is a testament to the sad truth we all had to accept after watching Metallica destroy their good name in Some Kind of Monster. It's not clear exactly when it happened, but at some point, James Hetfield became the "pussy" in the band.
Maybe getting set on fire just does that to a man.

CONCERT REVIEW: Metric w/ The Stills @ Centennial Hall (Oct. 23, 2009)
I hate Centennial Hall – with its dingy, cramped balcony seating offering horrible views, its overpriced beer, and its less than stellar sound system.
Yet in spite of it all, Metric put on a spectacular show Friday night at London, Ontario venue.
Set openers, The Stills, played to a less than half-filled hall who didn't seem too interested. They failed to impress the audience with their typical-sounding indie-rock. All their songs seemed to mesh together and none of them were even that catchy, except one which featured 'nice' harmonies. Needless to say, I was less than impressed and ready for the real show.
Metric hit the stage full of energy and opened with "Twilight Galaxy". However, the Centennial Hall's sorely lacking sound system prevented Emily Haines' true vocal ability from being fully showcased. (The vocals, especially in the beginning, were hazy when she pronounced s's and t's, but got better towards the end). Haines rocked out with her signature dance-moves, her body twitching from side to side, as the crowd cheered her on. The show was sold out, but for some reason the back half of the bottom floor (general admission) was scattered with only a few people; Centennial Hall was definitely not at full capacity, but Metric didn't seem to mind. Haines, ever the enigmatic front-woman, coaxed the crowd – from general admission to either sides of the balcony – to "stand up at some point" because it wasn't a baseball game (or something to that effect).
Since the release of their fourth studio album, Metric has gained a much more mainstream following, which probably explains the crowd last night peppered with aging men and their wives all they way down to seven-year-olds with their parents. I guess anyone can appreciate a little Metric in their lives. The band on was on their A-game last night. Haines kept up the energy all night long with with manic dance skills and shaking her head (because "it's empty"), and the rest of the band followed suit with a contagious energy of their own.
The played every track – except for "Front Row" – off their latest album, Fantasies, as well as scattered fan-favourites from their entire catalog, like "Combat Baby", "Monster Hospital", "Poster of a Girl". Standout performances were definitely "Stadium Love", "Satellite Mind" as well as the acoustic encore of "Combat Baby", which allowed for Haine's soft vocals to envelope the entire hall.
If you haven't caught Metric live, yet. I suggest you save up and buy a ticket to their next concert in your area. And if there are seated tickets – don't even think about it – go for general admission because their energy-filled set list will have you on your feet the whole night. No more seated balcony tickets for me; I've learned my lesson!

ABUJA, 23 August 2012 – The Government of Nigeria and Kandeh Yumkella, Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) and Co-Chair of the UN Secretary-General's High-level Group on Sustainable Energy for All, today launched the Sustainable Energy for All initiative in Nigeria.
In the keynote address, which was delivered on his behalf by Vice President Namadi Sambo, Nigeria's President Goodluck Jonathan said, "Nigeria is fully committed to achieve the targets of sustainable energy for all by the year 2020." President Jonathan urged UNIDO and other development partners to continue to support Nigeria in the country's efforts to achieve sustainable energy for all in order to "drive away poverty" and enhance overall socio-economic development.
In December 2010, the United Nations General Assembly declared 2012 the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All. In response, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon launched the Sustainable Energy for All initiative to mobilize action from all sectors of society.
The Secretary-General set three interlinked objectives to be achieved by 2030: providing universal access to modern energy services; doubling the global rate of improvement in energy efficiency; and doubling the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix.
Yumkella declared that the goal of sustainable energy for all by 2030 would not be achievable without Nigeria, and praised President Goodluck Jonathan and his government for their leadership, as well as their efforts to expand energy access.
Today's conference, which, in addition to the Vice President, featured the Ministers of Power and Water Resources, included sessions on the challenges and opportunities for Nigeria in the energy sector, financing infrastructure by 2030, and the integration of local and regional energy markets. Representatives of the Nigerian Governors' Forum, the Senate and the House of Representatives (Parliament) also participated in the launch, underscoring the importance of achieving sustainable energy for all.
The Nigerian Government's engagement with the Sustainable Energy for All initiative will add to the significant momentum the initiative has generated this year. At the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) in June, substantial commitments to support energy access were announced by Governments, the private sector and civil society:
• More than 50 developing countries are now working with the initiative;
• More than US$50 billion has been mobilized from the private sector and investors;
• Tens of billions of dollars have been committed by multilateral development banks in Asia, Europe and Latin America; and
• New public-private partnerships are forming on transport, energy efficiency, solar cooking, finance and energy access for the poor.
These commitments will provide more than one billion people with access to modern energy during the lifespan of the initiative.

Windows: State of the Platform part 1 - Year in review
0. phoneArena 27 Mar 2014, 14:49 posted on
We've already covered the top two biggest mobile platforms in the world in our State of the Platform series. We've looked at what 2013 held and what to expect in 2014 from both Android and iOS. Now, it's time to take a look at the fastest growing platform on the market, and the platform that has the best chance of becoming the final pillar in the modern mobile triumvirate: Windows...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Windows 8.1 Pro = The best OS ever
3. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Still prefer Mac OS X Mavericks. I don't plan on switching back to Windows anytime soon.
19. CX3NT3_713 (Posts: 2275; Member since: 18 Apr 2011)
My PC runs both OS's ;-)
32. dorian827 (Posts: 155; Member since: 28 Jul 2012)
I prefer my Ubuntu and Windows 8.1 ;-)

If it didn't include metro they yes. And if it had Aero, and if it had the windows 7 start button, and if everything wasn't so rectangular. Oh and did I mention metro.
10. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
Go pick up a Dell Venue 8 Pro or Surface and come back. I encourage you not to be subjective either. On the desktop it works just fine but you can make the OS boot straight into Desktop mode if you prefer. On my Venue 8 Pro Metro works beautifully! I really think you should check it out on the tablet. First look at videos of what you can do on it and notice how they put the OS together to make it SO easy to use.
33. Pedro0x (Posts: 271; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
Ofcourse I have tried windows tablets and laptops. My view on the metro didn't change anyway. The tiles don't fit into desktops nor into tablets or phones. I feel like Microsoft tried to make the system easier to use but instead they made it much more difficult to use. In my opinion windows 7 is the easiest to use OS on earth. But ofcourse all this is subjective. Sure there are people who love W8 but as you can see even windows vista has more marketshare than W8 and that speaks for itself. All the facts are against you.
34. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
While not all apps are geared to the desktop without a touch screen specifically, majority of Metro apps work just fine on the desktop but like I said before you can boot straight into the desktop, pin apps to your task bar or desktop as usual and use the OS that way. As for tiles on WP and tablets well I guess they could've shrunk Windows 7 and used it there and become the laughing stock of the industry. With Android out already looking like Windows Mini why would they go that route? How else should they make it finger friendly? Especially on Windows Phone which works so well as is.
As far as market share you are wrong! Windows Vista holds 3.3% of the market, Windows 8 holds 6.63% and Windows 8.1 holds 3.95% of the market for a combined total of 10.58% of the Windows market. Now I suck at match but I'm sure 10.58% > 3.3%. Also 3.95% > 3.3% . Source: http://thenextweb.com/insider/

Metro is fantastic. That W7 start button is not needed at all in W8
11. pookiewood (Posts: 631; Member since: 05 Mar 2012)
Absolutely LOVE my Dell Venue 8 Pro. I've had Win 8 on my laptop for some time and thought it was good. I got my DV8P last week and it is an amazing little device!
16. thealphageek1 (banned) (Posts: 942; Member since: 02 Feb 2013)
I think Windows 8.1 Pro is an awesome OS as well. I have Dell Venue 8 Pro and it's awesome.

WP declined in the holiday quarter Q4 2013 with 8.8 million WP devices. That's down from Q3 2013 with 9.5 million WP devices. This is with sales of WP devices like the lumia 520, going for as low as $49 off contract.
If WP was doing so well then Microsoft's Nokia would not be making any Android device. Especially 3 of them.

8.8 million Lumias in Q3
8.4 million Lumias in Q4

The funny thing is that Microsoft is getting more money from Android than from WP
25. sip1995 (Posts: 1575; Member since: 07 Feb 2014)
Actually they take $20 from every android device, so when you purchase an android phone....you're helping to make Windows Phone better (cuz all the money goes to WP development)......thanks a lot.

13. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
Chromebook does not use android, and as much as I don't like the idea, people looking for basic stuff (your average, non computer fan student) its not half bad
22. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Cmon..you know good n well Android is more than what Chrome OS is.
23. papss (unregistered)
Barely ;)
37. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
Barely...if that. I mean they both function the same. What was it 'chrome apps'. Only thing android has is app count.
When you can purchase a 8.1 windows tablet, with a 11.6in screen on sale for 250, with a year warranty...the app count for droid means jack when compared to the power of a desktop enviorment.
8. threed61 (Posts: 200; Member since: 27 May 2011)
The Lumia 928 and the Icon are 2 different devices.
9. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
The Lumia 928 had a 4.5" screen and a S4 Pro if I'm not mistaken.
14. xmaloba (Posts: 3; Member since: 30 Dec 2012)
Android has stagnated W8 & WP8 is on certain up on the basis of an alternative to android..lumia 1320 ($299) looks to b selling on par with 52x in terms of bang for ur buck ... give it till august 2014 n u'll remember my comment
15. supratik1993 (Posts: 13; Member since: 16 Mar 2014)
I kinda miss the missing aero graphics in windows.... Otherwise its not so bad....
17. KenAdams (Posts: 55; Member since: 17 Feb 2014)
I love the tiled modern UI on my Surface 2012. The apps look great and its super smooth and fast. I'm hoping to pick up a WP8.1 handset and retire my S3 soon. The app situation on WP is great, though it's not that good on Win8. However, i love how the apps look and the entire look and feel of the platform. I hope developers get on board and create more metro-style apps for Windows 8. I see WP really growing in the near future and challenging Apple for the 2nd position in the smartphone market.
18. Cyberchum (Posts: 675; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
After spending time with Windows 8, I've come to grow fond of that highly maligned tiles. That start screen looks so colorful and the apps are just pleasing to the eyes and Kai free.
The only thing that is going to stop me from getting lumia 635 is it they happen to price it higher than 220 USD in Nigeria.
20. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
@sodsell I guess you forgot to mention that Samsung also declined last quarter as well or that HTC declined over 36% over the last year even though though HTC only made Android devices. IPhone 5S, Iphone 5C, Note 3 and all the numerous Android/iOS third quarter promotions could hardly put a dent in WP market share that is impressive of WP withstanding that third quarter/holiday push from the two big platforms.
HTC M8 ripping off WP Live Tiles is an attempt to mimic Nokia WP success of the last year that increased sales from
2012 = 13.3 million WP
2013 = 30 Million WP
You said that "if WP was doing so well Microsoft Nokia would make Android phones let me explain what's wrong with what you said. Many Android fanboys were basically begging Nokia to make an Android phone so Nokia gave in and made a few to appease those asking, , you conveniently left that part out, hypocritical much?, secondly Nokia X are only Android in name , they look and largely operate like like an uglier version of WP, not like your typical Android devices so your point is invalid.
WP is the most imitated platform on earth, its a quality OS that is made for grown up, like someone said it doesn't need babysitting, look at Android and its OEM's each passing day they become simplier, flatter, etc that is them trying to grow up from an OS point of view, I suggest you do the same.
21. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
You should study the Metro concept. Just because others are transitioning to Metro doesn't mean they are copying WP.
24. papss (unregistered)
No they just perfected it and made it popular just like Nokia did with higher quality snappers on phones.
I remember some time back fandroids saying "who cares about a good camera on a cell", now look at the landscape
27. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
A camera is not Metro, two totally different things. As far as perfected UIs go, that's a totally opinionated statement.
38. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
Certainly opinionated, just like the comment of who needed better snappers.
In the end, icons have been stagnant for years now. It was only a matter of time even without Win UI to force a change from them.
Widgets were getting there, but they are only a 'maybe' solution.
If it wasn't MS to make the change, in 2yrs someone, probably Samsung would have.
26. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
I know the concept of Metro, I know the concept of Skeumorphism, I've studied design language and the history behind them i make informed comments, basically if you are using the principles of Metro then you are largely inspired by Metro, the funny thing is I remember when Metro was first introduced the amount of bashing it got from other platform fanboys now that its caught on many of those same people now defend those imitating the same thing they once bashed, irony at its best.
28. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
It's a fad, design concepts come and go all the time. Metro will run it's course one day and be replaced with something different, although probably not necessarily new.
Personally, I can't stand Metro and long for that day.
39. elitewolverine (Posts: 5183; Member since: 28 Oct 2013)
Hope it doesn't go, the start menu was archaic and icons have been 'old' for years now. Flipboard and widgets had the idea.
The transition to tiles that actually do something, like show pictures, info, updates, news etc, was a long time coming. If not MS, Samsung would have in their bid to go away from droid (which was an option at one point and still is with their tizen)
29. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
Indeed Flat design is a trend, its not the law so everyone going Flat shows how good they think the design MS implemented within software is.
30. PBXtech (Posts: 1032; Member since: 21 Oct 2013)
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
35. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
This paragraph from the article says it all:
"2013 was Windows Phone 8's first full year on the market after having been released in October of 2012. The update was a massive one, and also quite dangerous, because it was essentially a second reboot for the platform in just two years. Microsoft retired Windows Mobile with Windows Phone 7 in October of 2010, and just two years later, the company left behind all of the Windows Phone 7 devices with the Windows Phone 8 release, because older hardware was unable to upgrade. However, it seems as thought it was the right call, because as mentioned, Windows Phone has been the fastest growing platform in the world in 2013."
Some WP fans try to reset the date and only go by WP 8...and totally dismiss WP 7. When Android went thru its major change....Android 1 still gets counted in the overall scheme of things.
I think its also telling that in Android land...this would be called fragmentation. But for WP...somehow it isnt. What happens when WP 9 or 10 comes out....and a major change happens again. Then what? IIRC...Win Mo 6+ wasnt available for every Win Mo device.
Its going on 4 years for WP as a whole. Still near the bottom with BB. In 2 years Android rose alot; (and I am counting Oct 2008 when it officially launched with a massive whimper) by mid-late 2010 it was competing with/passing the iPhone for #1...and along with the iPhone knocked Palm out the ring, put Win Mo and BB on the mat. At some point....MS is gonna have to decide whats financially better for them.
36. 7thspaceman (Posts: 1545; Member since: 14 Feb 2011)
as far s smart phones go now that Windows smart phones can use all the high tech gear that are available for smart phone to have now it is time for Microsoft to do what it does best and that is make great soft wear for their products. I expect good things from Microsoft's programmer teams. I still think microsoft needs to refresh the shape of the Modern UI/AKA metro tiles. a lot of people think the MS tile UI is ugly. What microsoft needs to do is at least round off the 4 corners of their UI's tiles or better yet have the 4 sides of the MS tiles curve outward a little to give them a aero dynamic look. this may seem lie a dumb needless idea but the truth is People will not buy what looks ugly even if it has great technology like the data updating functions that the Microsoft modern UI tiles/ AKA Metro tiles have. I think that Microsoft will sell more products if they refresh their tile's design. they look too homely.

Our Weekend
On Sunday we did not have anything planned. We walked to Sans Pizza during the late afternoon and ate an early dinner. Sans Pizza is about an hour walk from our hotel. We are both very proud of ourselves for purchasing a map and being able to follow it to Sans Pizza. After the walk home we are tired and will spend the evening watching a movie.
Monday afternoon hopefully brings the end of court process. I will post after court and let you all know the outcome.

Mmmmmmm....Krem Cafe and Sans. That was good stuff!ReplyDelete
So, did the Sans Pizza place taste like our version of pizza??ReplyDelete
The pizza was the same as in American. The menu had what was called the American pizza on it. The pizza had bacon and eggs on top. Don't know where they got that idea.ReplyDelete

It's difficult for Steve Truesdale to explain the relationship he and Athena, a chocolate Lab mix, have had for 13 years. Trained as an assistance dog, she has picked up dropped items, helped him do chores and provided self-confidence.
Athena also has developed an uncanny ability to understand what Truesdale needs, from a cuddle to a walk, and has filled his life with her unconditional love and a few touches of mischief.
"I can't even begin to tell you how having Athena has helped me," says Truesdale, who was born with cerebral palsy and uses an electric wheelchair. He lives in Buffalo. "I definitely identify her as family. My home feels full with her, where it felt empty without her."
But at age 13, Athena no longer has the stamina an assistance dog needs to spend eight or nine hours at a time on the job. So Truesdale has loosened the leash a bit for his now-senior companion.
"She is happy to get up and put the work clothes on and go to work, but after an hour or so she reverts to play mode," he says. "If we come to a good lawn, she wants to roll on it. I let her break a bunch of rules, but if she's in her work clothes I can't have her be out in public and break the rules. It's not fair to the other people who travel with professional dogs. Sometimes I feel a little guilty about that, but the feeling passes."
So Athena is semi-retiring. That means she will have the choice of whether to accompany Truesdale when he goes out, and he will reduce her longer days.
"None of the people in my neighborhood would allow me to get away without bringing her out," he says with a chuckle. "They pretty much put up with me because I come attached to the other end of her leash!"
Truesdale grew up with a family dog – "one of my chores was feeding the dog," he says. He decided to get a puppy in the summer of 1999 after two years of unemployment, when he realized that his life "consisted mainly of rejected resumes, hot coffee and memorizing syndicated episodes of 'Law & Order.' "
Because he was not able to easily navigate people's stairs, Truesdale was happy to find a man in Rochester who was able to deliver puppies to buyers. In July, the man brought Athena, a chocolate Labrador retriever pup he said was mixed with golden retriever, to Truesdale's home. Because the puppy looked far too young to be away from her mother, Truesdale asked the man to take the puppy back for three more weeks. "I was kind of petrified to have such a tiny puppy when I was in an electric wheelchair. I told him I would pay his gas for the trip. I gave him a check and put a collar on her. He called me 10 days later and said, 'I'm coming to Buffalo and I'm either going to bring you your puppy or rip up your check.' "
Truesdale agreed to take Athena, and asked the seller for photos of her parents and documentation of her birth date. "After he dropped off the dog, he said, 'I've got the things you want out in my car,' but he got into his car and drove away. This guy was a great guy, he brought the dog to my house from Rochester twice, but I don't know what the problem was."
Three weeks after she arrived, Truesdale brought Athena to the vet, who estimated that she was just 8 or 9 weeks old. (Puppies generally stay with their mothers until they are 10 or 12 weeks old.)
"I think he wanted to get the dogs out of his care before they needed their first shots," says Truesdale. "Maybe he thought he was taking advantage of me with the price, but as I have often said to people, if I had known what a good dog he was dropping off, I would have paid probably twice or three times what he was asking."
Being together from so early in Athena's life, Truesdale says, helped them bond. And between housetraining and exercising the active young pup, Truesdale was forced to get out and be more active. Life improved as he began to "wake up every morning with a dog nose in my mouth, belly laugh at least 20 times a day and breathe a little easier."
When Athena was 4 months old, Truesdale returned to work, and was faced with the challenge of dealing with an active puppy who had been confined to one room all day. He eventually decided to have Athena trained as an assistance dog. She spent three months at a facility in Niagara County, where he was also taught for a few weeks.
In the years since then, Athena and Truesdale have seldom been parted. She functions as a "mobility tool," like a wheelchair or crutches. They have traveled to eight cities on planes and trains, and visited parts of Canada and Puerto Rico. Besides alerting a traveling companion that Truesdale was stuck in a restroom at a train station, Athena also has helped him show others how to interact with people who have service animals. "The dog is supposed to blend into the woodwork – that's the dog's job," he says.
Having Athena by his side gives Truesdale a sense of competence and confidence, he says. For example, "If I were in a mall and dropped my credit card, I would have to rely on a stranger to pick that up. Most people, especially here in Buffalo, are very nice and would be delighted to do it, but it makes me more independent to have the dog with me, in a psychological sense and a physical sense."
Athena has often picked up dropped eyeglasses, saving them from being smashed, he says. But one incident stands out in his mind.
"When I worked at UB, I had taken my wallet out and it got knocked onto the floor. My wheelchair was parked on top of it, and when I realized it was gone, I was patting my pockets and desk and getting more and more worried. When Athena noticed I was getting upset, she got up, looked around, saw it under my wheelchair, picked it up and brought it to me. She knew that I was upset and figured out why."
Their close bond and ability to understand what each other needs intrigues Truesdale. "I would love to have a good solid knowledge of what goes on inside her head," he says. "Dogs seem, in some way, to be able to read the minds of humans. She shows every day that she can communicate with me in a completely nonverbal way."
Athena reads his moods, he says, and "knows instantly when I'm in a bad way, either physically or mentally, and seeks me out to let me know she's there." As a result of his closeness with Athena, he says, "I'm twice as mellow as I have any right to be at my age."
Truesdale says he is grateful for people in restaurants, airports and public buildings who have accepted Athena's presence without comment.
"As people in public have often heard me say, I also firmly believe that Athena is a blessing given directly to me by God," Truesdale says. "And as many of you have noted to me when you see us out in public, her love for me and mine for her shines out of both our faces."
