People do buy antique glass on ebay. It's possible that your piece isn't collectible or perhaps it's overpriced or perhaps the right buyer hasn't come along. Or perhaps it being in Canada puts people off. Who knowsReplacements.com seems to be offering it for less though.

It's been a year since a Milwaukee man was stabbed to death, and his family is asking for help to find his killer.
Milwaukee police said Justin Kohen was killed during a robbery outside his house near 16th Street and Cleveland Avenue last April.
His family and friends gathered there Thursday night for a candlelight vigil, urging anyone with information to come forward.
"Somewhere living amongst us is a murderer, and we should all be really concerned about that," Milwaukee County Board Supervisor Peggy Romo West said.
His family is also offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
Family members will be going door-to-door on Saturday asking neighbors for any leads.

Take a journey to the intoxicating land of Vietnam, a vibrant blend of natural scenery, idyllic coastlines, and cultural treasures. Experience the kaleidoscope of activities and sights Vietnam affords, from the traditional villages in the Mekong Delta to the limestone cliffs of Halong Bay. Catch a snapshot of the country's colorful historical past in the lively streets of Ho Chi Minh City and uncover the allure of its French heritage in the Old Quarter of the nation's capital, Hanoi.
Due to the shape of the country, there are several distinct climate zones:
The north experiences four distinct seasons with a hot and wet summer, a pleasant spring (March-April), mild autumn (October-December), and a chilly winter. However, in the Highlands, both extremes are amplified, with occasional snow in the winter and temperatures hitting 100°F in the summer.
In the central regions, summers are normally hot and dry. North East Monsoon conditions (September – February) bring strong winds and rain, making this a difficult time to travel through Central Vietnam.
The South has three seasons: Hot and dry (March - May/June), rainy (June/July – November), and cool and dry (December – February). April is the hottest month, with temperatures of 90°F or more on most days. During the rainy season, there are lots of mosquitoes and heavy afternoon rains can lead to street flooding. December to February is the most pleasant time to visit, with cool evenings down to around 68°F.
Vietnamese is the official language, with four main dialects spoken in different regions. Young people study English and many older Vietnamese people speak French. There is a large ethnic Chinese community who, in addition to speaking Vietnamese, can also speak Cantonese. The language is written with the Roman alphabet, plus some accent marks.
National Holidays:
Last day of the last lunar month (January/February) – Tet (Vietnamese New Year)
April 30 – Liberation Day/Reunification Day
May 1 – International Workers' Day
September 2 – National Day
National Festivals:
Full moon of the 1st lunar month – Lantern Day
5th day of the 4th lunar month – Mid-year Festival
15th day of the 7th lunar month (August) – Ghost Festival
15th day of the 8th lunar month (September) – Mid-Autumn Festival
The official currency is the dong (VND). The exchange rate as of March 2010 is 18,680 dong to US$1.
US dollars are widely accepted at a lower exchange rate, so it is better to pay in the local currency. Notes of high denominations will give you better exchange rates than smaller denominations. Gold shops will exchange at a reasonable rate.
Bargaining is commonly practiced as prices are usually inflated for foreigners, especially with street vendors and tourist areas.
Tipping is not necessary but is highly appreciated; however, tipping to tour guides, tour bus drivers, and porters are customary.

Microsoft thinking "very hard" on creating a Windows Phone 8 notification center
45 Comments
1. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
swipe left to notification center. and put a live tile for quick settings
2. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
also, they should fix the wifi issue when you put the display off. How would you receive notifications on the internet if you're connected to wifi only, and it's turned off every time you put the phone to sleep. They should leave it on given that it's not that power hungry.
8. haseebzahid (Posts: 1853; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
back in wp7.5 we all had one issue unable to modify wifi IP settings total DHCP is it still in wp8 or they at-lest added both options ?
28. sarahenry (Posts: 2; Member since: 14 Jul 2012)
Fully agree. This display off and wifi off is the only feature which is stopping me from getting a window phone. So happy with Android till then
4. kirholstov (Posts: 145; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
Good idea, but I think they can do it in windows 8 style, for example, swipe from below,...
12. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
i think, it would be a problem because there's no bar below the screen unlike on top(status bar). It would just make the home screen scroll downward i guess? They should use the left side, but the problem in that is, it would be quickly accessible when you're on the application lists on the right most side of WP8.
how about pinch-to-zoom on the homescreen/applists to view notification center or even hold search button, there's so many ways to create it really. :D
13. MeoCao (unregistered)
I told you so, live tiles are no match against notification center, and WP fanboys call me hater.
It's good that MS realise their weakness, but I still think MS is very ineffective company and people will have to wait very long until MS can come up with an upgrade.
And competitors do not stand still.
26. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
you're a hater, saying MS as ineffective company. How could be ineffective? If it's one of the biggest company in the world, serving 90% of the computing world with OS?
You could just simply say that MS could improve the OS, but saying it's an ineffective company makes you a heyter~ :))
Besides, the newest WP os is still young. More room for improvements dude. :)
29. MeoCao (unregistered)
An effective company will not take so long to introduce an incomplete product as WP8. An effective company will not get it wrong every time with its mobile strategy.
MS used to be a great company but years of monopoly have corrupted it.
call me whatever you like but it does not change the fact that Live tiles concept is a gimmick and WP8 will fail just like Windows mobile and WP7 before it.
32. ahhxd717 (Posts: 332; Member since: 08 Dec 2011)
Live Tiles are as much as gimmick as widgets on Android. Well, I don't think either of them are. I've used both OSes pretty extensively and found that Live Tiles can actually be helpful, maybe not AS much as certain widgets, but they're definitely not a gimmick. I hate how everyone tries to bash MS for trying a new thing. It's really pathetic.
37. MeoCao (unregistered)
Widgets and live tiles can be useful when applied to limited number of apps and customizability is good, that's Android approach, and in Android there is the notification center that complements the deficiency of widgets.
There's no notification center in WP8 and too many live tiles with very limited customizability.
I agree that risk should be encouraged, but for a big company like MS this is very bad job and this is not the 1st time they fail to deliver. MS does not deserve our support.
36. ghost7787 (Posts: 9; Member since: 20 Sep 2012)
your assumption that it will fail definitely makes you a hater.
39. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
MeoCao- surely you are not comparing the Android of Jelly Bean to the Eclair of old? Or iOS 1st gen to iOS of the iPhone 5?
WP now two years old (November 2010). How is it sitting still? The kicked Windows Mobile to the curb and started over fresh just to compete. Your argument is weak. 2 Years from now, it might hold merit if WP still is behind. But they are playing catch up on the run. It is tougher then doing it as the smartphone market exploded like Android and iOS did. MS knows it's position. They are improving- this article shows that they realize they have a ways to go.
40. MeoCao (unregistered)
You are playing word game mate, if you call WP8 say Microsoft Phone 1 will it have different age than 2 years?
MS is not newcomer in mobile and they have much more experience than both Google and Apple but they fail time after time and bring nothing new to the industry.
Can we ask why? The answer is very simple: MS has become a follower not a leader and they are a poor follower in fact.
44. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
Hey, you're obviously are a hater.
Why do you need a "perfect OS" right away? When both, Apple and Google always know that there's too many things needed to be improved on their OSes?
Nothing is perfect. Even if we chase for it.
What's the use of updates? New iterations? If they gave it all away.
Also, I don't see why MS made it wrong this time. There's a lot of changes from WP7.5 to WP8 than gingerbread to honeycomb/ics, than iOS 3 to iOS 4. It shows how much they love to catch up, yes they're experienced but this industry is a whole lot different that even nokia is playing catch up.
MS as a follower, yes. Because, you can't be a leader overnight just by bringing a new OS. You can't get 50% of the market right away, and everyone knows that. Did you think android did it overnight? NO!
15. jroc74 (Posts: 6005; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Sounds good. Couldnt they just have a big Live Tile, like that clock one I see in the article with notifications? Click on it and go to notifications?
I never used a WP for an extended period of time, just some hands on for how it feels and whatnot. When you swipe now, what does it go to?
19. dickwyn (Posts: 621; Member since: 07 May 2012)
good, this should be the first OTA update
25. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
There may be a patent issue (as in Google may have been issued a patent on their application that was published last year). MS wouldn't want Google to get leverage over it in the negotiations over Moto infringing on MS patents....
34. taz89 (Posts: 2014; Member since: 03 May 2011)
they need a notification where it can be accesed from anywhere and not only from the homescreen..
3. Aeires (unregistered)
Isn't a live tile a notification?
5. kirholstov (Posts: 145; Member since: 28 Jun 2012)
If app doesn't support live t. - you don't have notification
9. Aeires (unregistered)
Sounds like a developer problem, not MS'.
7. wendygarett (unregistered)
true but what he meant is 'notification center', which is all information is gathered into one place like android "notification bar"...
I'm truly appreciate the windows' homework, but i personally think, a phone without a notification center is not a deal breaker actually :)
10. Aeires (unregistered)
Aren't live tiles centrally located, like on your home screen? How is it any different than having a pull down area that you scroll through compared to having them all on your home screen
The only thing I can see that's a benefit is you wouldn't need a tile for certain apps, but if you get a lot of notification from that app, why wouldn't you make it a tile?
14. wendygarett (unregistered)
That notification is according to ios lol...
The only gathered notification that Windows have is on the lock screen lol
11. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
please read the article. :) It says that
"Granted, the Live Tiles now show notifications for missed calls, messages and so on, but there is no unified central place approach for those apps who don't have a tile out, for instance, so we are pretty curious what Microsoft is cooking, and whether the graphics solution will be more unorthodox."
17. Aeires (unregistered)
I did read the article, the whole things sounds redundant. For over a year people have been saying tiles rock because the notifications are instant. Now they want a notifications area. SMH
If an app doesn't support a tile, the developer should adjust for that, not the OS.
21. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
android have widgets that could show notifications too, isn't it redundant having a notification tray? No.
Live tiles are cool for there's an instant look for what are new on those apps, but see, people want more. I too, love live tiles but somehow, isn't it exhausting looking for every tile just for notifications? If there's only a way to gather all those notifications in one place, wait, there is, notification center!
there are ways to implement a notification center, either another extra large, interactive live tile where you could scroll the live tile for notifications.
Android had widgets which acts like live tile, don't they? :)
23. Aeires (unregistered)
MS chose to go with tiles instead of widgets because they felt live tiles, or notifications, was easy and quick to receive information. WPhans have confirmed that countless times, tiles are quick and easy. If they start adding additional notifications, it starts to get complicated which defeats the purpose of having tiles be easy.
Android is not WP. Not everyone uses widgets, and Android widgets perform duties slightly different. Just because things work a certain way in one OS doesn't mean they are needed in a different OS.
43. neutralguy (Posts: 1152; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
ahm, again, i said that at least there's a quick access to all of the notifications. I don't get why we argue about this.
True, live tiles do have quick access to notifications for each application, but also, again, isn't it exhausting when every live tile shows notification and you have to browse like 20 live tiles for each app to look for notifications?
Sometimes, people just want to go on a single page to browse for collected notifications. And yes, live tile would still have its purpose if you just want to view certain notifications on a certain app.
6. valapsp (Posts: 557; Member since: 12 Aug 2011)
it'll sure come as an OTA update or (Oh no) with WP 8.5.
27. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5993; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
Or, WP9.

18. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Thinking very hard?!?
Gosh that is some mind blowing irony right there.
There is just so much room for basic improvement in WP interface that it really is unfathomable how they aren't implemented.
22. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
I think there is a reason for that, SIMPLICITY. That's how/why you get the buttery smoothness and fast on WP despite single core. As more features are added, more cores are needed. With wp8 supporting up to 64cores, MS and owns shouldn't have problems adding any features needed.
24. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
In tile videos, music, and animation would be awesome. Be great for YouTube and Xbox music.
35. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
You gotta be kidding me..there is a world of difference between simplicity and unprecedented level of forced limitation..
There is no excuse for deliberately leaving out one most basic gesture..just imagine as elementary basic, logical and simple concept as free dashboard surface on the left, which could be given to user - leaving the usability And customization options up to you.
Doesn't consumer deserve that much?
Doesn't it hold the right to it?
Similarly, not giving the wallpaper background option is a complete insult to the user if you ask me.
41. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
Oh the surprise, thumbing me down without any sort of counter argument to my factual observations.
What to say, it all makes sense actually - OS that is treating you like an idiot is met by the right people obviously.
42. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
I didn't thumb u down unless u want me too. Pay attention. WP is in its infancy. You wait until 2nd, 3 rd, 4th, major updates. We'll see for sure what's missing and what's not.
20. lubba (Posts: 1313; Member since: 17 Jan 2011)
Notification tile or on lock screen, scroll left for kids corner and right for notifications. All in all still alot of stuff missing from wp8 but wp8 is only the first major update while others are in their 6th or more. So I'll give MS some slack.
30. cdgoin (Posts: 533; Member since: 28 Jul 2010)
OK You need notification of these things..
Since you can now use smaller tiles.. just use three smaller tiles under your date/time tile.. and use the 4th for the twitter / facebook / address book..
Whats so hard about that..? Why the need for a "Notification center" with live tiles the whole phone is a notification center.
31. PM8888 (Posts: 10; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
And yet Belfiore thinks WP8 is the best mobile OS. What a joke. Enjoy your less than 10% market share, despite having spent Billions over the last couple of years on WP.
33. ahhxd717 (Posts: 332; Member since: 08 Dec 2011)
A notification center in WP is the main thing i find lacking, so if they include one in a future update that would be awesome. Maybe swipe right or something for a notification pane.
38. snowgator (Posts: 3586; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
The three largest complaints of WP:
1) Not enough apps- by the middle or end of 2013, hopefully that is a dead issue. 1800,000 -200,000 apps should be available.
2) Not enough customization- Once people see Windows 8 in action, this will go away I hope as well. It is different and not as open as Android- but understanding that tiles are yours to adjust and will show your pictures, your posts, and your order of importance will open up the potential of WP.
3) Notifications. It is still not addressed. You see how many of something you missed, but most users want more information. The live lock screen is a nice step, but it will not solve the issue. This is a good sign- next phase of upgrades are already being planned on. Better be, because Android isn't resting on Jelly Bean, that is for sure.
45. CRICKETownz (Posts: 980; Member since: 24 Oct 2009)
I personally think that MS should stay away from a notification center. Why do what android has already done? I think the live tiles do a good enough job of staying up to date.

The Australian Olympic swimming legend sat down with Sir Michael Parkinson for a tell-all interview airing Sunday on Australia's Ten Network, and addressed the rumors of his sexuality that have surrounded his career since he was a teenager.
"I'm comfortable saying I'm a gay man," Thorpe, 31, revealed to the British TV host. "And I don't want people to feel the same way I did. You can grow up, you can be comfortable and you can be gay."
Thorpe is a champion freestyler who has won five Olympic gold medals. He also has 11 World Championships golds, the third-most of any swimmer. Despite his long list of achievements, he admits much of his decision to deny his sexuality stemmed from his fear of Australian audiences.
"What happened was, I felt that the lie had become so big that I didn't want people to question my integrity and a little bit of ego comes into this," Thorpe explained. "I didn't want people to think that I had lied about everything."
He adds, "A part of me didn't know if Australia wanted its champion to be gay. I am telling not only Australia, I'm telling the world that I am and I hope this makes it easier for others now."
Although Thorpe admits to being "a little bit ashamed that I didn't come out earlier, that I didn't have the strength to do it," his recent revelation has drawn support from family, friends and his large fan base.
"I'm not straight and this is only something that very recently – we're talking in the past two weeks – I've been comfortable telling the closest people around me," he said. "I'm pleased to say that in telling them, and especially my parents, they told me that they love me and they support me. And for young people out there, know that that's usually what the answer is."
Coping with Depression by Self-MedicatingThorpe was admitted to a rehabilitation center for depression earlier this year, and says the pressure of keeping his sexuality a secret played a part in his downward spiral. After being treated for depression at the age of 18, the Olympic swimmer eventually turned to self-medication with alcohol.
"I didn't want anyone else to know, to share my problems with people, that I'm unhappy because I'm living what is ... a dream life for an Australian," he said. "I knew I was a little bit different but there were times that I just wasn't happy. It was a lethargy that followed me that I didn't understand."
He continues, "[I thought], 'I'll have a drink so I feel better,' then it becomes cyclical – you start to drink, you start to self-medicate."
Up until the interview, Thorpe has consistently denied any same-sex attraction, including in his own 2012 autobiography, This Is Me.
"The thing that I find hurtful about it is that people are questioning my integrity and what I say. That's the only part I find hurtful, that this is something I would be embarrassed about and that I would hide," he wrote in his book. "For the record, I am not gay and all my sexual experiences have been straight. I'm attracted to women, I love children and aspire to have a family one day."
But, his dreams for the future have not changed much – Thorpe is still looking forward to finding love and having kids. "I'd like my own family," he said.

Like most European countries, Sweden has a proud bicycle making history and many of the classic Swedish makes are seen regularly on the streets of Copenhagen. Sweden is, after all, only four kilometres away from Denmark at the narrowest stretch of sea. You could almost throw a bicycle from one nation to another, so it's not surprising that Swedish 'cyklar' are a part of our bike culture.
The hottest brand in the bespoke end of the market is the Skeppshult, seen in both the above photos. We'll save space here by merely saying that we have a write up about the cool brand over at Copenhagenize.com.
Skeppshult.se - in Swedish and English.
Kronan The Barbarian
You can't muscle your way past the Kronan if you're discussing Swedish bikes. This former Swedish Army tank on two wheels enjoys a revival these days. It's still heavy and looks laboriously clunky but it has a certain retro appeal and is updated for the modern market. Meaning it is much smoother to ride. The number plates on the back are, by the way, a retro design addition. Bikes aren't registered like cars. That would be a silly idea, as we discussed over at Copenhagenize.com.
Especially now that other colours are available like this pinktastic version. They're pretty reasonably priced compared to other brands, which we suspect is because they tend to appeal to the young studenty crowd. Kronan do a line of prams and strollers, as well. On their website the call it Kingdom of Kronan which we reckon is heavily borrowed from the Republic of Fritz Hansen marketing angle, in the hopes that a bit of golden design association will drift their way.
Kronan.com - in Swedish and English
When in Sweden you notice many bikes from Crescent, one of the largest bike brands and one with a lot of history. In particular their old school chainguards are quite fetching.
They also have a long line of cool retro posters like the one above.

Two Tuolumne County schools were locked down on Thursday after a teacher at Sonora Elementary reported hearing shots fired outside the school, KCRA 3 confirmed.
Police arrived at the elementary school around noon after hearing that a man with a heavy beard, dressed in all camouflage, was possibly armed in the area.
Officials searched around Sonora Elementary and the other locked-down school, Cassina High, but didn't find anyone matching the description.
All students were allowed to go home by 3 p.m.
"It totally freaked me out," said parent Tami McVay.
A California Highway Patrol officer from the Tuolumne division confirmed to KCRA 3 that a large perimeter was set up around the schools.
After a search of the entire area, students were released.
"There were two cops guarding the door, so we were pretty safe," student Makena Williamson said.
The Sonora CHP assisted the Sonora Police Department as well, the officer said.
Sonora police said there is a shooting range just outside the city, not far from the schools.

CLEMSON – It didn't matter how great an impression Clemson cornerback Darius Robinson played as a magnet to Florida State receiver Kelvin Benjamin.
Who: No. 3 Clemson (6-1, 4-1 ACC) at Maryland (5-2, 1-2)
When: Saturday, 3:30 p.m.
Where: College Park, Md.
TV: ESPN, or ABC/ESPN2
As Tigers defensive coordinator Brent Venables would later dictate, Robinson couldn't have covered Benjamin any better despite surrendering six inches and 60 pounds in size.
The old saying goes, a perfect pass cannot be defended. Nor can an unbelievable catch.
Florida State freshman quarterback Jameis Winston, superbly in tune with his cast of outstanding playmakers, could not and would not be stopped in the No. 5-ranked Seminoles 51-14 scrubbing Saturday night of their host, No. 3 Clemson, thus proving the hype in Winston and FSU has not been overstated.
Clemson coaches and players, however, would offer little more than golf claps to their vanquisher. To them, it's always about how Clemson plays, and the stunned Tigers (6-1, 4-1 ACC) wouldn't try to argue otherwise with the narrative: they stunk.
"As good as they are, we didn't do anything to compete on that field," quarterback Tajh Boyd said. "We actually didn't play any type of caliber that we're capable of, and that's the most disappointing part, because that's just not us. We didn't display the type of players we have, and we didn't display what type of team we have.
"They're good, don't get me wrong. But it's not (a 37)-point difference."
It sure was in primetime, capping another College GameDay on campus in no way Clemson envisioned. The Seminoles (6-0, 4-0) seized control of the ACC Atlantic Division, which they will win by going no worse than 3-1 in their remaining league games, and thus the Tigers' national title hopes have likely vanished as well.
All the factors Clemson preaches on its path to victory were betrayed at the worst possible time.
Turnovers (two interceptions, two fumbles), timely stops (FSU went 8-for-12 against the nation's stingiest third-down defense) and big plays (seven FSU gains of 20-plus yards, including 94 and 72; Clemson's longest pickup was 18 yards), they all contributed to the Tigers' worst nightmare.
"We know we're better than how we played tonight, but nobody cares about that," head coach Dabo Swinney said. "All you can do is tip your hat tonight to Florida State, take your medicine, learn from it and get better. We got our butts handed to us, and so we've got to respond."
With no margin for error, the third-ranked Tigers committed far too many of them allowing FSU to produce the most points a visitor's ever scored in Death Valley, stunning the partisan crowd of 83,428 at Memorial Stadium.
"Defeat always is (humbling,)" Venables said. "The discouraging part is we didn't play and coach like we're capable of. The humbling part is they were the aggressor from the onset, and we never could get control of the game and get in any kind of flow. They made all the plays tonight."
On what he'd dreamed would be a signature night of his college career, Boyd stumbled into a nightmare performance. He threw wildly all night long, misfiring to his receivers on various occasions and making uncharacteristically careless throws into multiple coverage.
Pulled midway through the fourth quarter, Boyd was wearing a right boot in postgame interviews to support his ankle, which was taped up in the second quarter.
"It's sprained right now. It'll be fine," Boyd said. "I'll get some treatment on it tomorrow."
Boyd completed just 17 of 37 attempts for 156 yards with two picks; even his 3-yard touchdown throw was off the mark, causing Sammy Watkins to contort his body backwards to bobble and snag the ball. Boyd's passer rating of 79.5 was his worst since his sophomore year, when Virginia Tech and South Carolina humbled the first-year starter.
Much more is expected of Boyd now, who was outclassed in every manner by his precocious counterpart.
Jameis Winston said Wednesday he seriously didn't know Florida State's recent rash of defeat on visits to Clemson.
Winston played Saturday night like he didn't care.
The kid who claimed to reporters he had no idea the Seminoles had lost five straight games at Clemson shattered that drought with the biggest performance of his young career, turning in a final line of 22-for-34 for 444 yards, four touchdowns (three passing, one rushing) and an interception.
"He was a good player. For him to be a freshman, he had great poise," Clemson defensive end Corey Crawford said. "He's a hard player to bring down when you try to tackle him. Tough, tough kid, man. I feel like his future is real bright."
Winston's skill players helped a ton: receiver Rashad Greene exploded for eight catches, 146 yards and two touchdowns, 6-5 deep threat Kelvin Benjamin shook off Darius Robinson for a scoring catch 82 seconds into the game, and tight end Nick O'Leary recorded a 94-yard non-scoring reception on one play, while blowing up safety Travis Blanks to punctuate a run after another catch.
"Tonight they were a better team. They beat us. They played well on offense and defense," Watkins said. "They've got a lot of playmakers just as we do. I think we kind of hurt ourselves in the first half, and they executed off our mistakes."
Plus, FSU's defensive leader Lamarcus Joyner talked the talk in the summer, and walked the walk in primetime. He forced two first-half fumbles (one by Boyd which Mario Edwards returned for a touchdown, and one by tight end Stanton Seckinger on the first play from scrimmage) and picked off Boyd, responsible for three of Clemson's four turnovers.
Turnovers. Clemson had only committed six all season, but produced four Saturday night and the Seminoles capitalized for 24 points; the Tigers hadn't allowed a single point off a turnover in their first six games.
"When you start the game with a first down and a fumble, you lose the momentum pretty quick," offensive coordinator Chad Morris said. "Then we come back a series later and have a busted play, lay the ball on the ground, and give them another seven points. You can't give a team of that caliber free gimmes."
Third-down defense. Since 2012, Clemson's opponents in 17 victories have only converted 27 percent of third-down tries. But in three defeats (twice to FSU, and once to South Carolina), the Seminoles and Gamecocks are successful 59 percent of the time, including 8-for-12 Saturday night.
"We just couldn't get off the field. We were tops in the country in third-down defense, but when it counted, we couldn't get the job done. We're going to learn from it."
Those hallmarks of head coach Dabo Swinney's program were nowhere to be found, and it resulted in Clemson nearly matching its worst home loss in its football history.
Backup quarterback Cole Stoudt's 2-yard keeper with 13 seconds left kept the Tigers from its second 44-point defeat at Memorial Stadium. The circumstances back in 1970 were much different: Auburn, a 44-0 winner, was No. 9 in the country, while Clemson was unranked and finished 3-8.
This lopsided loss was far more unacceptable, since Clemson risks dropping out of the top ten.
"They came away with the win. Honestly, Clemson beat ourselves, really," tailback Roderick McDowell said. "I'm not going to say Florida State is bad; Florida State's a good team, they're coached well offense and defense. The fact is we beat ourselves, we put our defense in some bad predicaments, and our offense should have executed when we had the plays."
Excepting games against South Carolina, this snapped a 20-game home winning streak for Clemson.
"We do have a lot to play for. Obviously, the national title implications are kind of out the door. We'll see what happens," Boyd said. "But it's disappointing for us. We can't do anything about it anymore."
Clemson now hits the road the next two weekends, Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at Maryland (5-2, 1-2) and then Nov. 2 at Virginia.
"Can't let a loss define your season. We coach for the season, not for one game," Swinney said. "If this were the end of the year, I'd obviously be really, really disappointed. But good news for us, we get to play again next week, and we'll do everything we can to make sure we play better."

This time of year leaves you thankful for the many blessings you have.
Since Thanksgiving falls on Nov. 22 this year, here are my 22 things I'm thankful for, with fantasy advice throughout. Please note these are in no particular order.
This I'm thankful for:
1. Michigan and Ohio are home to the greatest rivalry in all of college sports. While my blood pressure doesn't rise much higher than the Saturday of the Wolverines-Buckeyes tilt, I'm grateful this game is once again relevant and both schools have a coach that are going to keep this game as competitive as it has traditionally been over the years. One also signifies the number of Facebook friends I deleted this week after their incessant Ohio State-Michigan jokes. They're as bad political ads.
2. The number of quarterbacks competing for the job in San Francisco. Jim Harbaugh said he's going to ride the hot hand, and with Alex Smith still not cleared from concussion symptoms, that means Colin Kaepernick stands to benefit. He was a cool 16 of 23 for 243 yards and two scores last week. Two weeks prior, he was 11 of 17 for 117 yards passing but added another 66 yards rushing and a score on the ground. If he keeps it up, it may not matter when Smith clears. He could be a nice spot start in some better matchups down the stretch.
3. The number of guys competing for carries now in the Denver backfield. With Willis McGahee now likely out for the remainder of the season, Ronnie Hillman, Lance Ball and Knowshon Moreno all stand to get carries. The rookie Hillman is projected to get the most work but John Elway said Tuesday that Moreno should figure into the mix. That's how I'd rank the pickups too: Hillman, Moreno and Ball. We've seen what Moreno can do, (cough, cough-see Beanie Wells), so I'd rather see what the rookie can do when pressed into the full-time job. It could go to more what's becoming a more traditional platoon in the backfield, like more and more NFL teams are having.
4. The end of the Rashad Jennings show in Jacksonville. He had just three carries this past weekend for minus 1 yard. Instead, Tony Maluso and the rest of the Jacksonville faithful were "treated" to Jalen Parmele's 27-touch, 83-yard performance. The Toledo product was not exactly dazzling but he was more productive than Jennings was. He needs to be owned since it's still unknown when Maurice Jones-Drew is coming back from the foot injury.
5. Alex Green. While James Starks will be a hot pickup this week, owners would be wise to exercise caution in wasting a pickup on him. He had a measly 74 yards on 25 carries and coach Mike McCarthy has said he should have used Green more last week. Neither guy is worth the transaction at this point. If anything, I'd pick up Cedric Benson if he's available as he is supposed to be back in a couple of weeks. Given the ineffectiveness of Green and Starks, Benson should have little trouble taking the job back. If you can store him, go get him.
6. The Big Ten men's basketball race. With Indiana, Michigan, Ohio State and Michigan State all national champion contenders, this year's regional basketball product should be spectacular to watch.
7. Dwayne Allen. The tight end has filled in nicely the last four weeks as Coby Fleener has been out. But Fleener could be back this weekend for the Colts. It's a wait-and-see approach that could cause you to miss out on points from the TE spot if you're wrong. Better to pick up a guy like Brandon Myers or Greg Olson. Both aren't just one-week fill-ins but better solutions the rest of the way.
8. Andre Dawson. My childhood sports hero and an example more athletes should aspire to be like: humble, quiet and no complaints. The commercial says "Finding Andre good. Finding discounts better." I think it might be the other way around.
9. My wife Bobbi. She's incredibly supportive of me working two jobs: one to feed my family and one to feed my passion.
10. The Advertiser-Tribune. I've often contended I'm blessed to call the A-T my newspaper home and it's a remarkable organization to work for.
11. Small Business Saturday. Don't get me wrong, I'll be out with all the other crazy people on Friday. But let's not forget your hometown stores. Sure I can save three bucks on a SD card at the big box store, but I can keep my tax dollars local, my friends and neighbors in business and buy many of the gifts that you're not going to find in a big box store anyway.
12. The Lions picking Ryan Broyles in the second round this year. While I didn't understand the pick at the time, maybe they had some foresight to see that Titus Young was going to be suspended for attitude problems in Week 12 and Broyles stood to pick up some of the catches in his absence. Mike Thomas could also see some of those balls as well but against a tough Texans defense against fantasy wide receivers, I'd only start either in a flex type of situation.
13. The number of interviews I've done in the last five days. One of the things I love about preview time is the number of talented coaches we get to talk to at this time of year. I just don't like all the extra work that comes along with it.
14. My son Ethan. It's taken 10 years but he's finally getting into Star Wars. Welcome to my nerdness, son. I think the force is strong with this one but he is not a Jedi yet.
15. Larry Kisabeth. Coaches like "Kis" are a rarity and I'm going to miss his post games. At least we'll still get to talk shop since he's going to return to his old bookkeeping duties for the Tornadoes this year.
16. That the trade deadline in our league is not until this week. Thanks to McGahee and Dwayne Bowe, I suddenly find myself short of the depth I had.
17. Facetime. This wonderful iPhone app has allowed me to say good-night to my daughter Hope face to face on nights when I'm out covering games. It's made being away a little bit easier.
18. Plaxico Burress is back in the NFL. I remember watching him at Michigan State. A supremely gifted athlete who didn't come packaged as brightest bulb on the shelf. Thankfully the Steelers don't run a lot of pistol formations or he'd quickly be on the injury list. In a really deep league, feel free to pick him up, otherwise I'll roll the dice with guys who have been playing the first 11 weeks of the season over the guy who hasn't played since last year.
19. Hope. Not only the figurative kind but my daughter as well. I don't know if there's a better feeling than a 22-month-old girl screaming at the top of her lungs "Daddy" when you walk in from the garage.
20. Bryce Brown. He's big. He's fast. And with LeSean McCoy possibly out with a concussion Monday night, he could be a good spot start this weekend against the Panthers.
21. That I've made it to my birthday (which is today). I'm grateful for all the blessings the first 37 years have brought and seeing that I'm only a third of the way through my life, I look forward to the next 74 have to bring me.
22. You, the readers. I'm pretty sure I have more than 22 readers but your feedback, encouragement and challenges to do it better keep me pressing on in a profession I love dearly.

What's cooler than connecting two machines together by tapping them? Leveraging the power of Near Field Communication (NFC) and the new "tap & go" gesture built into Windows 8, you can build powerful new social apps that enable entirely new scenarios your customers have only dreamed of.
Oops, something didn't work.
Was a fun session. Unfortunately I missed it during my visit - slowly catching up with all the content.
Is it possible to get seme of these stickers somewhere?
Hey Obiwan007, my store http://www.tagstand.com sells quality stickers at a reasonable price.
IDWNet Cloud Computing is proud to announce that our new Global Grid (patent pending) protocol will support Near Field Communication in Windows 8! The Global Grid is a P2P networking protocol for finding peers across diverse networks, and is easily extensible to support new types of network hardware, and networking APIs such as Near Field Communication. The protocol can even find peers over the Internet, and traverse NAT firewalls, and can be configured to use HTTP proxies.
So funny watching users reaction to "tap and go" NFC "device kissing" or hi-fiving gesture at approx minute 11.
Good also to have sample code starting at minute 18 referencing:
slide 20 = code for suppoting content sharing
slides 23, 24, 25 = Peerfinder sample code
slide 27: Tx/Rx NFC messages
slide 28, 29: ProximityDevice Tx/Rx
Thanks for great session!

Energy Panel Approves Contentious Nominee Rhea Suh
Newly minted Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Mary Landrieu (D., La.) pushed through a controversial Interior Department nominee Thursday over the united opposition of Republicans.
The committee voted along party lines, 12-10, to approve the nominee, Rhea Suh, to be assistant secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks at the Interior Department. Ms. Suh now advances to the full Senate where she needs 51 votes for confirmation. It was the first nomination meeting presided over by Ms. Landrieu.
"I am sorry we are starting this new era of the Committee on such a troubling note," Senate Energy and Natural Resources Ranking Member Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska) told her usual ally Ms. Landrieu. "I expect that we will be able to work together on many issues that come before us—but this particular nomination is simply not one of them."
Ms. Murkowski and other Republicans say that Ms. Suh, who is currently Interior Assistant Secretary for Policy, Management and Budget, would push an agenda that opposes oil and natural gas development. They particularly point to comments she made in 2007 that were critical of gas.
"The pace and magnitude of this [natural gas] development is easily the single greatest threat to the ecological integrity of the West," Ms. Suh said while working on conservation issues at the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
Despite facing criticism from Republicans on the campaign trail and inside Congress, Ms. Landrieu, who is in a tight re-election this year, defended Ms. Suh. Her office sent out a release rebutting the arguments put forth by Republicans as to why Ms. Suh should not be confirmed. Sen. Mark Udall, (D., Colo.), who is also up for re-election this year, also supported her nomination despite a letter the Republican delegation from Colorado—including his top challenger Rep. Cory Gardner, (R., Colo.)—sent to the energy committee on Wednesday criticizing Ms. Suh.
Opening the hearing, Thursday Ms. Landrieu again defended Ms. Suh and referenced comments she made at her initial hearing before the committee several weeks ago.
"This position is charged not with overseeing energy production, but overseeing fish, wildlife and parks," Ms. Landrieu said Thursday. "Ms Suh. repeatedly reiterated her support for natural-gas production in front of this committee."
Ms. Landrieu's support is critical in getting Ms. Suh across the finish line in the full Senate. Other energy-state Democrats up for re-election, including Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mark Begich of Alaska and Kay Hagan of North Carolina, are more likely to support Ms. Suh in the full Senate now that Ms. Landrieu has. To get 51 votes for passage without any GOP, all Democrats must vote yes. In another sign Ms. Suh will get confirmed, Sen. Joe Manchin (D., W.Va.), who is perhaps the most conservative Democrat on energy issues, also supported Ms. Suh in the committee vote on Thursday.
Given that even the most conservative Democrats seem likely to support Ms. Sun on the floor, Republicans don't have a lot of options to further block her nomination. A senator can still put a hold on her nomination, but it's unclear whether the loudest critics of Ms. Suh intend to do that.
"Sen. Murkowski is considering all her options, but recognizes that since the rules changes by the majority leader, that those options are limited," said Robert Dillon, a spokesman for Ms. Murkowski.
Ms. Murkowski is particularly concerned about Ms. Suh's decision-making authority over whether to build a road through a wildlife refuge to King Cove, a relatively isolated 1,000-person community on the Alaskan peninsula. If confirmed, Ms. Suh would head the Interior Department division that has been opposing the road to King Cove because of the potential impact on the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge.

The beautiful back lawn of Boone Hall was packed with fans of all ages to hear one of the most celebrated country music singers in history. The 82-year-old Loretta Lynn wowed the audience with not only her beautiful voice but her spicy humor as well. Her son, two daughters and granddaughter even took to the stage to belt out a few songs.
The show was completed by performances from Mount Pleasant's very own Ronnie Johnson, as well as Shelly Waters, hailing from Lafayette, Louisiana.
Loretta Lynn has received numerous awards in country and American music over the last 50 years, including being inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1988 and the Songwriters Hall Of Fame in 2008. She was honored in 2010 at the Country Music Awards for her stellar career. Her most recent honor is the 2013 Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Lynn has been a member of the Grand Ole Opry for 51 years, since joining on Sept. 25, 1962. Her first appearance on the Grand Ole Opry was on Oct. 15, 1960. During a press conference, Lynn said, "I've played in a million places, but the Grand Ole Opry is different."
Lynn has recorded 70 albums over the course of her career, this includes 54 studio albums, 15 compilation albums and one tribute album, and has sold more than 48 million albums worldwide.

Moments before police swarmed the Folly Beach home of a convicted con man on Wednesday, he provided a jumbled narrative to a reporter spanning his supposed medical studies in London, alleged threats against his life and his struggles with erectile dysfunction.
Douglas Martin, 63, was running from fraud charges in Indiana when he was taken into custody at his home at 215 E. Erie Ave.
He had been living at the residence only a few days, according to neighbors, and moved there after his former landlord kicked him out of another home a few doors down.
While at the home Wednesday morning, Martin did not welcome questions about allegations that he impersonated a surgeon, a helicopter pilot and a decorated Vietnam veteran.
Martin, who was convicted of bank fraud in 2010, also would not discuss the fraud charges facing him in Indiana, or allegations that he has conned people out of thousands of dollars.
"It's all in the past now," Martin said before shutting his front door and retreating inside.
The accusations aren't all in the past, however.
Folly Beach Public Safety Director Dennis Brown said Wednesday that his detectives are investigating several local complaints against Martin. He declined to provide details.
A Folly Beach woman told The Post and Courier that one of the complaints police are investigating involves $2,000 in bad checks Martin allegedly wrote to her in September. The woman said the checks were meant to pay her back after she invested in a medical practice he planned to open on Folly Beach.
She spoke only on the condition of anonymity because she said she is fearful of Martin.
Hours after refusing to be interviewed Wednesday, Martin reached out to the newspaper in a phone call that he said was fueled by a need to explain and defend his actions.
"I didn't mean to be rude this morning, but I wanted to make sure what I say is OK with my attorney," Martin said.
Martin said he could not recall his attorney's full name. Court records do not indicate that he has legal representation.
Martin insisted that he is a doctor who studied in London, though court records say he has no medical license.
'I'm so gullible'
When asked about the woman who claimed to have been cheated by him, Martin said he first met her through an ad he posted on Craigslist, and that she offered services to him as a psychiatrist and a sex therapist.
Martin said a whirlwind romance soon followed, after the woman offered to have sex with him as treatment for his issues with erectile dysfunction.
Martin agreed that the woman invested in a business venture he had planned. But he disputed claims that he still owed her money, saying she lied to pass blame for a host of her own personal issues.
The woman disputed his story. She said Martin had been spreading lies about her for months, after their friendship turned sour.
"I'm so gullible and I trust people too much, obviously," the woman said. "He has a lot of medical knowledge that a person wouldn't normally have."
The woman said when she first met Martin he claimed to have three HIV clinics in Africa, and that he had worked there for at least six years.
She said she grew suspicious after he wrote her about four checks meant to reimburse her for investing in his local endeavors. Those checks turned out to be worthless, she said.
She said she attempted to report the situation to Folly Beach police, but the agency was slow to take any action. "I think they were waiting for him to be extradited back to Indiana so they wouldn't have to do anything," the woman said.
Brown, the public safety director, did not return calls for comment Thursday. The previous day, he said his detectives have been working diligently on the complaints against Martin, in addition to trying to resolve his pending extradition to Indiana to face charges there.
Folly Beach police first arrested Martin on Nov. 7, and he was held at the Charleston County jail to be extradited to Allen County, Ind., to face four counts of fraud on a financial institution.
During his jail stay he claimed to be ill, and Indiana authorities decided to remove the warrant rather than risk them or Charleston County being stuck paying his medical bills, Allen County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Michael McAlexander told The (Fort Wayne, Ind.) Journal Gazette.
Martin quickly recovered, and was released from jail because there was no longer a warrant to hold him, authorities said.
Indiana prosecutors later moved to reinstate the warrant, but Martin already was free and back living on Folly Beach, authorities said.
Police visited Martin's home Sunday, not to arrest him, but to investigate his claims that a man named Skip Anderson, 52, of West Beach Court, forced entry into his home and threatened to kill him.
Anderson was located nearby and arrested on charges of first-degree burglary and assault and battery, an incident report states.
Appropriate action
The woman who claims Martin wrote her the bad checks said she is in a relationship with Anderson, and that Martin lied to police to add fuel to an ongoing feud between him and the couple.
"Despite everything this man has done to me, I'm more upset that Skip Anderson is sitting in jail on a $100,000 bond based on the word of this man, who is proven to be a con man," the woman said. "Of all people, why would you choose to believe the con man? That's the injustice here."
On Monday Brown said officers had reason to believe Martin's version of events, despite his history. Brown did not specify what those reasons were, but said he was confident the appropriate action was taken.
Martin's former landlord and neighbor Robert Mead said he knew Martin could not be trusted.
"He would lie about one thing and then change his story," Mead said. "It's like he can't help himself."
Mead said he made sure Martin paid in cash for the two months he lived with him, but he knows others on the island who claim that Martin wrote them bad checks.
"Why this guy's still walking the street, I don't know," Mead said Wednesday.
Folly Beach police arrested Martin a few hours later. He is being held at the Charleston County jail to be extradited back to Indiana.

Grace Beahm/staff Robert Mead, Douglas Martin´s former landlord and neighbor, said he knew Martin could not be trusted. He would lie about one thing and then change his story, Mead said. It´s like he can´t help himself. ×
Douglas Martin lived in this house on East Erie Avenue on Folly Beach only for a few days, after being kicked out of his former East Erie rental before Folly Beach police swarmed the home of the convicted con man on Wednesday.×

Ball State Goes 1-1 on Sunday
SPARTANBURG, S.C. - The Ball State softball team (4-1) split its games in the opening day of the Buffalo Wild Wings Spartan Invitational. Ball State scored six runs off 12 hits including three hits from Audrey Bickel (Munster, Ind. / Andrean).
The Cardinals opened the tournament dropping a tough 5-4 contest to Virginia Tech before picking up a 2-0 victory against George Mason.
Ball State picked up its win on the day after a late-inning rally started by Taylor Rager (Fishers, Ind. / Hamilton Southeastern). Rager hit a deep triple to right field to bring in Jennifer Gilbert (McKinney, Texas / McKinney). On the next play, Bickel would single to the same spot bringing in Rager to give the Cardinals the 2-0 lead.
With Gilbert's two runs scored on the day, she ties the record for the most career runs scored in MAC history with 167 runs. Gilbert is tied with former Ball State Cardinal Lisa Rozanski.
Six different Cardinals record at least one hit led by Bickel's three-hit effort in six at bats. Bickel had three RBI on the day while Rager tallied two.
Defensively, Rager led Ball State with 10 putouts while Emily Dobkowski (Plainfield, Ind. / South Putnam) tallied 12 outs on the day with eight putouts and four assists.

Lisa Pistolis shared two pitchers of mimosas and a beer at a West Ashley bar before a crash on Interstate 526 that killed a man and left his friend with internal injuries, a North Charleston police officer testified Tuesday.
After the Jan. 27 wreck, the 24-year-old woman lay in a hospital. Her eyes were red, and she smelled of alcohol, Officer Jonathan Lawrence said.
She acknowledged drinking only one beer that afternoon at Gene's Haufbrau on Savannah Highway. But she now faces charges of driving under the influence with death and DUI with great bodily injury, which carry up to 40 years in prison.
"Her demeanor was as if I was bothering her," Lawrence said. "She had no remorse. ... I believe she had no idea how serious this charge is."
The testimony came during a preliminary hearing in which Magistrate James Gosnell ruled that the case should proceed toward a trial.
Pistolis was not present. She remains jailed in lieu of a $73,374 bail. Her public defender, Alicia Penn, declined to comment.
The Hooters employee and Ladson resident already was awaiting a jury trial in a separate DUI arrest from February 2012. A trial date has not been set, sheriff's Maj. Jim Brady said.
Pistolis' arrest drew attention last month when Facebook photos surfaced showing her partying.
Before the fatal wreck, she had been drinking with a friend at Gene's Haufbrau, the friend later told the police. They shared the mimosas, a mixture of sparkling wine and orange juice.
Then as she drove eastward on I-526, her Ford veered from her lane several times, the police said. A motorist called 911 to report his suspicions that the Ford's driver was drunk.
While speaking with a dispatcher, the motorist passed the Ford, then watched what happened next in his mirror.
The Ford drifted into the median at Dorchester Road, overcorrected, then struck a Jeep.
Pistolis' passenger, who has not been identified told the police that she was looking down when she heard Pistolis curse. When the passenger looked up, the Ford was bounding across the road.
When the passenger asked Pistolis what had happened, Pistolis said, "He cut me off," according to Lawrence's testimony.
The Jeep rolled three times and its driver, 35-year-old Serjei Cahuantzi of Charleston, was ejected. The bartender at Joe Pasta in downtown Charleston died at the scene.
Cahuantzi's passenger, 32-year-old Hart Crouch of Charleston, also was hospitalized with serious injuries.
An attorney for Crouch, David Hoyle of Mount Pleasant, said his client and Cahuantzi were friends and former roommates. Crouch spent several days in the hospital.
After Pistolis was examined by doctors, Lawrence handcuffed her. She said little more that evening, the officer recalled, "just that she wanted to go home."

According to the calender, the playoffs are still a few weeks away.
Not at Calvert.
The Senecas currently hold the eighth and final playoff spot in Division VI Region 21, and if they want to see week 11 for a second straight season, the playoffs start now.
"We're excited, and take each week one at a time," Calvert coach Todd Fox said. "This very game is a playoff game for us. So we just take it from here and get better each and every week and see where we finish up at the end."
Friday Calvert travels down to Mohawk to face the Warriors, and one of the Midland Athletic League's better overall athletes in quarterback Drew Loose. Loose has amassed 1,629 yards of total offense this year - 1,006 passing and 623 rushing.
Fox, though, sees Loose as just one of a stable of great athletes at Mohawk's disposal.
"Loose is a very good player. Coach (Erik Baker) is using him in many different ways. Kind of opens up his attack a little bit more and throwing the ball," Fox said. "But we feel with him and (Gunnar) Johnson, (Mitch) Parker is a great receiver, and (Grant) Price, they got a group of great athletes."
While Mohawk presents a more open offensive attack than in years past, Fox is still preparing his team to face a physical Warrior squad.
"Defensively we just feel like we need to play our game and play physical," he said. "Mohawk is traditionally a very physical football team and likes to play the game physically. We're just going to have to play that way; read our keys and play basic fundamental football."
Calvert, though, can mix things up pretty well, too.
Tyler Long has shown to be a dual-threat quarterback, throwing for 894 yards on the season and rushing for 727.
"Calvert presents a number of challenges especially to our defense," Baker said. "The mixture of Long at quarterback, who has tremendous speed, along with Daniel Kwiat ... really challenges us. They'll mix running inside zone, outside zone using their size up front to wait for you to put yourself out of position defensively to take advantage of it."
The Calvert rushing attack has been bolstered the past few weeks with the play of Kwiat. The senior has rushed for 637 yards this season, 371 coming in the last two weeks alone.
"We went back to our running game," Fox said. "Dan Kwiat's really gotten in the groove the last couple weeks. ... The good thing about the early part of the season, we were able to develop some of our other weapons. They're all there. Now there just going to be set up by the run."
Baker cautions if too much attention is paid to Calvert's running game, the Senecas can go to the air to hurt you.
"Kwiat is a unique power runner in our league. I don't know if we see another fullback of his ability," Baker said. "Along with the addition of (Nick) Warnement at wide receiver, gives them a vertical threat that you can't just put eight, nine guys in the box to stop the running game, because they'll go over the top."
Last week, Calvert's upset bid of Fremont St. Joe was halted in part by 10 fumbles, four of which were lost. Fox said the team has been taking steps to make sure that is not an issue this week.
"A lot of it comes from concentration. We've done some different tactics this week to work on holding on to the football," he said. "At the same time, sometimes our guys are trying to make too big of plays and we got to work on holding on to the ball and getting better at that."
Kickoff is 7 p.m.

Killing wildlife for fun exploits natural world
I fully agree with the Feb. 5 letter regarding the "Squirrel Slam" sponsored by the Holley Fire Department. There are mixed views regarding hunting just for the sake of killing animals and not for food necessity, as in the past. Yet the very promotion of killing defenseless wildlife "for fun" is truly off base.
These same young minds could be led through the same woods on a nature appreciation hike where they could observe various wildlife nesting sites, tracks and habitat – perhaps leaving seeds and nuts behind in the effort to promote appreciation for the enjoyment of our dwindling natural resources.
Rather than exploit nature, these kids should be guided toward enhancement of wildlife habitat, propagation and cleaning the local environment that supports their own future quality of life.
The problem with promotion of violence against wildlife is that it leads to a lack of respect for environmental life. Look at 18 Mile Creek to see the results of that.

MARTINSBURG - The Pickin' in the Panhandle bluegrass festival and the West Virginia State BBQ Championship will return to Berkeley County this year, but it will be at a different venue and the music program will have a different producer, Martinsburg-Berkeley County Convention and Visitors Bureau officials announced Tuesday.
"Pickin' in the Panhandle and state BBQ championship will be held at Shiley Acres on Sept. 6-8," Matt DeHaven, president of the CVB, said during a news conference at the Holiday Inn, Martinsburg. "We want the bluegrass and country music festival to grow and expand. We want to put on the festival for people of Berkeley County and to get people to come to Berkeley County, which is what we're mandated to do."
The CVB first held the music festival and cooking contest in 2007. It had been held at the Lazy A Campground off Back Creek Valley Road in Berkeley County.

From left, Greg Shiley of Shiley Acres; Bill Lucht, Martinsburg-Berkeley County CVB board member; Laura Gassler, CVB interim director; Larry Hines, CVB board member; and Matt DeHaven, CVB board president, after a news conference announcing the dates and venue for this year's Pickin' in the Panhandle and W.Va. BBQ Championship.
There were some questions whether the CVB would continue to produce the special event after Andrea Ball stepped down as the director of the travel and tourism promotion agency in December and it was revealed the CVB had lost several thousands of dollars producing the festival.
"The CVB came to us in February (2012) about a change of venue and a new direction," Greg Shiley of Shiley Acres said Tuesday. "We're going to take over the production of the music side. Larry Hines (a CVB board member) will run the barbecue championship."
Shiley Acres, off Nadenbousch Lane in Berkeley County, is an outdoor music venue that reopened last year after a 19-year hiatus, Shiley explained. Mainly rock music acts were featured at the site from 1976 through 1993.
"Shiley Acres is well known, the venue is larger, it's more well suited for a music festival," he said. "We have a stage, it's secure and the entrance is better and we're better located for tourism. It's three miles from Interstate 81. And we have the experience."
He said it will probably take 400-500 people to put on Pickin' in the Panhandle.
Shiley wants to build on the five successful previous years of the festival and expand the event, he said, complimenting the Ashton family, which owns and operates the Lazy A Campground, for their work hosting the event.
"We've already signed bands - Patent Pending, Lonesome Highway, Christian Lopez and Joe Taxi, the Davisson Brothers," Shiley said. "We've made a lot of offers for national talent. We don't have a feature band for Saturday evening, but we will."
Shiley added that while the details have not been finalized, Sunday's activities would include a fundraiser for a local charitable organization.
The CVB will produce the West Virginia State BBQ Championship, Hines said Tuesday.
"It is one of the most popular Kansas City Barbeque Society events in the mid-Atlantic," he said. "We've drawn 50 teams from all over the U.S. and the winner goes to the Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue."
Also featured will be the Backyard BBQ Cook-off for amateurs, he said.
"The enthusiasm Shiley Acres is bringing to the barbecue championship is great," Hines said. "We're excited. We're going to try to get some of the best barbecuers. We want this to get bigger and better."
After the news conference, Laura Gassler, interim director of the CVB, said the organization also would handle the advertising for the music festival and barbecue contest. She said that in the past, the CVB spent about $100,000 a year on the event. She expects the CVB will spend about a quarter of that this year.
"We're very excited," DeHaven said. "We want to work hard to be successful and make Berkeley County a destination."

This casserole is something I've been making since we were first married. It makes a lot, it's filling, and it's cheap. Not to mention that every time I make it, Paul announces it's his favorite meal! I believe one of my relatives/friends gave this recipe to me at my bridal shower. Either way, this one's definitely a keeper for us.
Taco Mac Casserole
1lb ground beef
Brown ground beef in skillet, drain grease. Add taco seasoning and water and simmer until most liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, prepare macaroni and cheese according to box directions using the butter and milk. Stir in sour cream to the macaroni and cheese. Spread half of the macaroni and cheese on the bottom of a 2 quart baking dish. Top with meat and sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheese. Add second half of macaroni and cheese.
Cover and bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Remove foil and spread salsa over top. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese over salsa. Bake an additional 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.

My primary research interest lies in the study of media and the self. The core questions that drive my research ask why we are drawn towards the media, how our experience with the media is modified by our self, and how that experience can affect the future of the self. I have been involved in number of different research projects and each project has provided an important step in the development of my own research goals. Currently, I am incorporating theories of Terror Management and Self-Determination to explore these questions on an existential level.

Jean shorts. Worn mostly by children and douchebags. Jorts are perhaps the easiest way to recognize people you will not like. If you wear jorts, you probably don't talk to girls. The term "jorts" does not apply to jean shorts worn by black people, as those are entirely acceptable.

a combination of the words "jean" and "shorts" used to describe the hideous attire, usually sported by NASCAR afficianados and men over 40. Sometimes Jorts are accessorized with a lovely cellphone belt clip and a braided leather belt, but not always. Sometimes the Jorts wearer lets the Jorts speak for themselves.

*UPDATED*: Supporting Newt a form of Xenophobia,Glenn Beck being stupid with words or just misinterpretations?
December 11, 2011 Leave a comment
Glenn Beck has caused quite a stir and rightfully so and it's not setting well with most of us either!
If you don't know what we are referring to, Then let us enlighten you.
Here's the quote from Glenn Beck on Judge Napolitano's show on 12/09/2011 about Newt Gingrich and Tea Party supporters that are or may be supporting him:
I issued a challenge to the Tea Party members. The challenge is this: You read [Newt's] record, you read his words. Not just the happy parts like you read about Theodore Roosevelt. Look into his record. See what he believes. This man is a progressive. He knows he's a progressive. He doesn't have a problem with being a progressive.
So if you've got a big government progressive [in Newt] or a big government progressive in Obama, one in Newt Gingrich, one in Obama, ask yourself this Tea Party. Is it about Obama's race, because that's what it appears to be to me. If you're against him [Obama] but you're for this guy [Newt], it must be about race. I mean, what else is it about Judge?
It's the policies that matter, it's the policies that matter.
Has Glenn Beck lost his mind or are we just looking at what he said wrong?
Is this just "Glenn being Glenn" or has he went too far this time? Read more of this post

|It was cold, windy, but an otherwise wonderful day. There was less snow than we expected, but one could hardly complain about the views anyway.
