Kershaw leads Dodgers to 3-1 win
May 20th, 2013, 7:13 pm by By BILL PLUNKETTClayton Kershaw held the Milwaukee Brewers to three hits in his latest outstanding start, a complete game as the Dodgers beat the Brewers 3-1 at Miller Park Monday night.
Kershaw (5-2) lowered his MLB-leading ERA to 1.35 with the performance. Since failing to complete six innings in consecutive starts for only the second time in his career April 17 and 23, Kershaw has allowed just three earned runs and 23 hits in 39 2/3 innings while striking out 37.
The first six Brewers went down in order against Kershaw before they scratched out their only run in the third inning after a leadoff walk and a single by Yuniesky Betancourt. The Brewers got just one more runner past first base -- Ryan Braun singled with two outs in the sixth inning and advanced to second on a wild pitch before Aramis Ramirez grounded out to end the inning.
The Dodgers have struggled to give Kershaw much run support this season. They didn't give him much Monday either, but it was enough.
Matt Kemp led off the second inning with a walk and scored on a triple by Andre Ethier. Ethier added a solo home run in the fourth and Kemp one of his own in the sixth inning.

Doug Franz College Football Playoff - Week 5
Originally published: Nov 16, 2010 - 6:54 pm
The week 5 standings are out for the BCS.
In case you don't know from the things I've said on air, I want a playoff in college football but I don't have a problem with the BCS formula. I just don't want it used to narrow the field from 120 to 2.
I have yet to hear any "pro current system" argument that I can't destroy on logical grounds. Of course there's one argument I can't beat and that is anyone saying they like the current system and they don't want it changed. Other than that, I'm still waiting for someone to convince me to give up my dream for a college football playoff.
I put before you the Doug Franz College Football Playoff. Every week the BCS rankings will change, therefore changing the teams making the playoff. Check in each week and see how things have changed. At the end of the season, it's up to you to pick the winners of each game and set in motion the championship challenge.
If you want an explanation for the way my formula works, check the bottom of the blog.
Here's the playoff pairings if the regular season ended today.
16) Pitt @ 1) Oregon
15) Va Tech @ 2) Auburn
14) Oklahoma @ 3) TCU
13) Arkansas @ 4) Boise St
12) Michigan St @ 5) LSU
11) Alabama @ 6) Stanford
10) Oklahoma St @ 7) Wisconsin
9) Ohio St @ 8) Nebraska
4 teams from the SEC West make the DFCFP while no other entire conference puts in more than 3.
Michigan State losses two weeks ago and gets knocked out of the playoff. By virtue of tie breaker with Wisconsin, Spartans are in as Big 10 Champ and Wisconsin takes a wild card spot.
Two weeks ago LSU was @ Utah, now Utah is out and LSU hosts the Big 10 Champ.
Alabama was hosting the 6/11 game two weeks ago, now they travel to Stanford to play in it.
Mizzou went from a home team against an Ohio State University to traveling to Utah to out of the playoff. Mizzou has the main beef with the playoff as they're left out for #60 Pittsburgh to get in as the Big East champ. I understand someone could say that's what is wrong with my playoff that I'm bumping the #15 for the #60. I want to make conference championships worth something so Pitt gets in as the Big East Champ. However, I don't want teams just to get into a conference that's easy just to get the pay day of making the playoff so only the top 8 conferences get to send their champ.
Conference bragging rights are on the line: Oklahoma St @ Wisconsin & Ohio State @ Nebraska.
For years northern teams have complained how southern teams could never handle traveling north so how would Arkansas handle December in Boise?
Only in the DFCFP could you ever get Oklahoma to go to TCU.
Could have a rematch of last year's Rose Bowl in the second round.
Wisconsin has a great D-Line but could they handle Cam Newton on the plains in round 2?
I never thought I'd put together a 16-team playoff with Florida, Texas, and USC all uninvited.
By ranking every team, you get a true representation of the best conference by simply taking the average BCS rank of every team in the conference. This playoff system makes every college football game in the country vital because it rewards teams and conferences alike.
Here's the ranking of the conferences after week 6 of the BCS and the average BCS rank of the teams in the conference.
1) Big 12: 36.5
3) Pac-10: 41.5
4) Big 10: 41.55
7) Big East: 61
11) Sun Belt: 106.11
I never imagined the SEC wouldn't be number one.
The ACC was in the low 40's last week. Another conference loss to a D2 school (this time UNC) really hurt the conference.
Why does the Big East have an automatic bid into the BCS?
The SEC West alone would come in at a 20.67 rank. It's amazing that the average team in any one division is a top 25 team in BCS rank. As a point of reference, the highest ranked team in the Big East is West Virginia (43).
79.92 is the lowest I've ever seen C-USA.
Watch out for Friday as Fresno takes on Boise. Boise should win but it's finally a test. If Boise wins but the game is very physical it might help Nevada pull off the upset next weekend.
Winner of Ohio State @ Iowa is in the playoff for good.
Right now Va Tech is in as a conference champ and not as a wild card. Hokies are out if they lose to Miami and the �Canes are in.
Sun Belt is @ Navy and @ Texas. Best chance in the history of the DFCFP to pass the MAC for the bottom.
The magic of the DFCFP is how it highlights the regular season more than any other system. Here's the process for coming up with the teams for the playoff.
1) Rank all D-1 (FBS) teams 1-120 (from Oregon to Akron).
2) Rank all the conferences 1-11 based on the average BCS rank of the teams in the conference.
3) Reward the first place team in the top 8 conferences with an automatic bid.
4) Independents�this means you Notre Dame�get no special treatment. If you're not in a conference, earn a wild card bid or join a conference.
5) Select 8 wild-card teams based on BCS rank excluding those already selected with an automatic bid.
6) Rank the 16 teams based on BCS rank with no regard to status as an automatic qualifier or wild-card entry.
7) First two rounds are at the home of the better seed. This benefits Northern teams so the South would have to play in the elements.
8) Final Four and Championship game are played at a rotation among Fiesta, Cotton, Sugar, Rose.
I'm aware that after the first two rounds there are three games left at neutral sites with four bowl game hosts. This is leverage in case the Rose wants to stick to tradition. If they duck out I've got three games and three bowls. If the Rose does want to stay involved, there would be a new bowl game created for the two teams that just missed out on the playoff. This week would be Mizzou v South Carolina in Glendale.
I give you the extra bowl game just to prove that the bowls don't have to die. Mizzou v South Carolina is still a great college football game with great fans. We wouldn't have 35 bowl games anymore�sorry Pinstripe Bowl�but some of the big ones with tradition don't have to go anywhere. If you're an ASU fan are you saying you wouldn't go watch the Devils against Texas in a Holiday Bowl just because it wasn't in the playoff? You'd still get the benefit of extra practices to prepare for your bowl game. Players would still get to enjoy the goodies they receive for participating. As for the fans, we get a real champion.
Feel free to ask me any questions or give me your opinions and I'll put it in the mailbag: email@example.com

The Chiefs (13-3-2 overall) dethroned the Boynton Bulldogs, who had dominated the event for the past several years.
The State Championship was the second in the span of three years for the Chiefs, who won the Junior Division of Dizzy Dean in 2010.
Based in Menlo, Ga., the Chiefs have played tournament ball for 10 years and have won numerous tournaments through the years and have finished second in the '08 in the Sophomore Division, 2nd in the '09 Junior Division and 2nd in the '11 Senior Division.
The Chiefs have also finished second twice in the Dizzy Dean World Series, losing the Championship game in '09 to New Orleans and in '10 to Florida.
The Chiefs will be looking to avenge these losses when they travel back to Southaven, Miss., for the Dizzy Dean World Series on July 20.
The Chiefs, who've had roughly 20 players go on to play at the college level, have players representing Chattooga, Floyd, Polk, Bartow, Cobb, Taylor and Pulaski counties of Georgia and the Alabama counties of Cherokee and St Clair.
Team members pictured include: Manager Chris Davis, Michael Gwin, Christan Champion, Dallas Sizemore, Zane Farrar, Zack Turner, Hunter Davis, Blane Swift, Ethan Jimmerson, Lance Gazaway, Earl Dupree, Ryan Wood, Steiner Davis, Cory Reece, Mason Hamilton and coach Roger Wood. Not pictured are Bradley Black and Weston Tate.
Contributing offensively for the Chiefs in this tournament were:
Blane Swift: Batted .636 with a triple, double and 11 RBIs
Michael Gwin: Batted .692 with three doubles and eight RBIs
Hunter Davis: Batted .571 with a double and five RBIs
Steiner Davis: Batted .429 with a triple, double and five RBIs
Christian Champion: Batted .462 with four doubles and one RBIs
Mason Hamilton: Batted .357 with a home run and three RBIs
Cory Reece: Batted .333 with two doubles and six RBIs
Ryan Wood: Had two doubles and two RBIs
Lance Gazaway: Had a double and three RBIs
Zack Turner: Drove in three runs
Dallas Sizemore: Drove in two runs
Ethan Jimmerson: Drove in one run
Zane Farrar: Scored 2 runs
Defensively, the Chiefs were anchored behind the plate by Steiner Davis who threw out the only two who attempted to steal. Ryan Wood made key defensive stops at 1st base to kill rallys. The middle infield combinations of Mason Hamilton, Christian Champion, Blane Swift and Zack Turner played strong defensively and outfielders Lance Gazaway, Cory Reece, Dallas Sizemore, Ethan Jimmerson, Zane Farrar and Earl Dupree closed down the gaps in the outfield.

At first I didn't like the scent but it has grown on me and now I love to spray a little on before I go to bed. The hidden scent of chocolate is comforting and I love how it lingers on my sheets when I go to bed the next night.

This fragrance is wonderful and unusual. It has a balsam smell and it reminds me somewhat of the old Clairol Herbal Essence shampoo in the dark green liquid. It is very fresh and light but it has lasting power too. Don't waste your money on the body lotion or solid perfume because they have a completely different smell to them (an old lady smell). For a fresh and clean fragrance with a subtle warm base note (perhaps the chocolate) buy the spray only. To summarize, this perfume smells like a mixture of coco butter soap and the old Herbal Essence shampoo.

This week, May 6 – 12, has been set aside as National Nursing Week, with May 12 being a special day to remember our nurses. Of course, when we think 'nursing' the first person to come to mind is Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing. She was an English nurse, writer and statistician.
Born on May 12, 1820 into a rich, upper-class family on the outskirts of Florence, she was named after the city of her birth. At an early age she believed God called her to be a nurse and she answered the call at the age of 24, in spite of the anger of her mother and her sister. A young woman of her stature and from such a well-to-do family was expected to marry and raise a family. She had many prominent beaus and marriage proposals but rejected them to follow her calling in the nursing field. Although she preferred the friendship of powerful men because they helped her attain her goals, she never married. Her father was not against her ambitions as the rest of the family was and he gave her an annual income that allowed her to live comfortably while she pursued her career. In fact, he believed women should be educated and he personally taught her Italian, Latin, Greek, philosophy, history, writing and mathematics.
In 1854 she and a staff of 38 female volunteer nurses, whom she had trained and of whom one was her aunt, were sent 295 miles across the Black Sea where the main British camp was based during the Crimean War. Medicines were in short supply and they found the soldiers were being badly cared for by overworked doctors. Mass infections were common and many of them fatal because of the unhealthy conditions. During her first winter in Scutari, 4,077 soldiers died. Ten times as many more died from illnesses such as typhus, typhoid, cholera and dysentery than from battle wounds. Defective sewers and lack of ventilation were two of the unsanitary conditions. Six months after her arrival and at her request, the British government organized and sent a Sanitary Commission to the area and the flushing out of the sewers and improvements in ventilation helped reduce the death rate. This experience influenced her later career in advocating the importance of sanitary living conditions, reducing deaths in the army and during peacetime. The Florence Nightingale Fund for the training of nurses was soon set up after many generous donations from her affluent friends. She established a school of nursing in 1860 at St. Thomas' Hospital in London that is still in existence. It is called the Florence Nightingale School of Nursing and Midwifery and is part of the King's College.
Nightingale came to prominence when attending soldiers during the Crimean War. The soldiers called her "the lady with the lamp" because she carried a lamp while making her rounds at night. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the famous poet, wrote a poem about her and the lamp. Nightingale wrote many books, letters, text books and journals describing health conditions, physical descriptions and dietary information. Most were published during her lifetime. At one time, nurses were regarded as ignorant, uneducated persons. Thank goodness that mindset has changed. Nightingale's work served as an inspiration for nurses in the American Civil War. She received many awards, among them the Royal Red Cross by Queen Victoria and she was the first woman to receive the Order of Merit.
From the year 1857, Nightingale was intermittently bedridden and suffered from depression. She was diagnosed with brucellosis and spondylitis. Brucellosis is a highly contagious disease caused by unsterilized milk or meat from infected animals. Spondylitis is degenerative osteoarthritis of the joints. Even though she was bedridden for great lengths of time, she remained productive in social reform and did pioneering work in hospital planning across the world. Florence Nightingale died August 13, 1910 at the age of 90.
Wondering what draws a person to become a nurse in the 21st century, I interviewed a young woman from the nursing profession. Her name is Devon Rashell Couch, mother to Donnie, age 5, and Ava Renee, 10 months. Even with the help of a caring and thoughtful husband, she admits that it is not always easy to juggle her life as wife, mother to her munchkins (as she lovingly calls them), cooking and cleaning and finds it difficult to catch up on her sleep. One day she worked an especially trauma-filled day at the hospital, going without eating from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Couch always wanted to be a nurse and as the eldest child in a family of eight children, she was always a nurturing person and loved taking care of the younger children. She had plans to join the army as a medic but feels God had a different plan for her. A month before heading for Fort Benning, Ga., she became ill and was unable to go. She missed fall enrollment to any university, but thanks to a sympathetic director at the local community college, she was able to join as a late admissions to the nursing program. Since she had taken some medical courses in high school, when she graduated she was already a nursing assistant. Since there was a shortage of nurses at that time, she was hired immediately at the same hospital she was born in 27 years ago.
Upon advice from her college professors, she worked for a year on a general medical/surgery unit before transferring to the physical rehabilitation unit. It was while working therapy on a patient that she met her husband. Couch was nurse to her future father-in-law. Her patients range from those needing help after knee replacements to patients learning to talk and walk again after a stroke. It means so much to her to be a part of their progress and recovery.
Couch said, "When I see a patient come in, unable to feed themselves or communicate their needs to us it saddens me, but when they are discharged and give me a big hug and say thank you, it brings tears to my eyes. Every day as a nurse is truly rewarding."
Later this month, she will start work in the postpartum unit where she has always wanted to be, caring for the new mothers and the babies after delivery.
Most of us have experienced at least one hospital stay and the doctors are most important, of course; they diagnose, operate, make rounds each day and follow up on our recovery. But who is there taking care of us all day long? Helping us learn to walk again, bathing us, bringing our medications to us, taking our vitals and giving us the encouragement we need to get through each day?
The nurses.
God bless nurse Couch and others like her. Take this opportunity to thank a nurse this week.

My mother used to poach — at a super-low simmer — large fillets of salmon in what I considered to be an unholy amount of dry white wine. But no one ever has equaled the tender result. It's like a pudding with gills.
Salmon poached in white wine
Heat a bottle (or more, depending on how much fish you will cook) of dry white wine to a soft boil in a large flat pan; lower heat to a bare simmer. Add a good pinch of salt and a few grindings of black pepper. Add 6 skinless salmon fillets, about a half-pound apiece, at room temperature; cook through, until the fish is opaque, never allowing the liquid to rise above a low simmer, 15-20 minutes. Gently lift the fillets with a slotted spatula; serve. Makes: 6 servings
An exotic take: Before adding the wine, in the dry pan, toast until fragrant 2 teaspoons coriander seeds and a short length of cinnamon stick; remove and set aside. Saute 1 tablespoon of garlic-ginger paste (available at Indian markets) in a tablespoon of oil or ghee, add back the toasted spices and proceed as above.
Try either of these or like wines with this fish dish. Both are zippy in acidity, a key component for a delicious pairing with either the main or the alternative preparation.
2009 Nino Franco Prosecco Grave di Stecca, Veneto, Italy: A rare prosecco on two counts: vintage-dated and from a single vineyard; creamy texture slowly opens up layers of flavors, finishing with zest. $35
2010 Laetitia Pinot Noir Estate, Arroyo Grande, California: Of the black cherry and chocolate vein, with a touch of earthy, mushroom-y character; fine acidity from its cool climate, and a fine buy. $22

Wellington flanker Scott Fuglistaller will join Lions team-mate and full-back Jason Woodward in Melbourne after signing a two-year deal with the Rebels.
Fuglistaller has played 54 games for Wellington, but couldn't crack the nod for the Hurricanes and eventually made his Super Rugby debut for the Highlanders.
Like Woodward, the loose forward has instead opted to head across the Tasman.
The pair will leave for Melbourne after the ITM Cup where they will link up with former Wellington and Hurricanes hooker Ged Robinson, who has been in Melbourne since the Rebels' inception in 2011.

UPDATED Suspect dead, officer wounded in shooting at Southfield police headquarters
SOUTHFIELD (AP) — A man killed Sunday in a shootout at a suburban Detroit police headquarters first tried to shoot an officer behind bulletproof glass before officers exchanged gunfire with him, police said.
One police officer was wounded in the shootout in Southfield, a city of about 73,000 north of Detroit. The injured officer was in stable condition Sunday night with a single gunshot wound in the shoulder and expected to live.
Police Chief Eric Hawkins said investigators were trying to figure out why the gunman carried out the attack. The 64-year-old man had no known grievance with police.
"He didn't say anything," Hawkins said at a news conference. "The officers said he had a blank stare on his face."
Investigators didn't immediately know if the man had a criminal record and were in the process of contacting his family, the chief said. The dead man's name was not immediately released, but police said he lived in Southfield.
According to Lt. Nick Loussia, the confrontation began when the man entered the lobby of police headquarters and a desk officer asked if he could help him. The man then pulled out a handgun and pointed it at the officer, who was behind protective glass. The man pulled the trigger, but the gun did not go off, Loussia said.
The desk officer drew his handgun and told the suspect to drop his weapon, Loussia said. Other officers came to help and again ordered the man to drop his gun, Loussia said. Instead, the man pointed his gun at the officers, Loussia said.
"The officers then exchanged shots with the subject. The first responding officer was shot once in the shoulder, the subject was shot several times," he said.
Hawkins said the wounded officer is 50 years old and a 25-year veteran of the force.
"He is conscious, alert and in good spirits," said the chief. Hawkins praised his officers' actions in the shooting. "My officers performed courageously under difficult conditions," Hawkins said. "We regret the loss of life. In this situation, the use of force was unavoidable." Continued...
Police haven't released the names of the suspect or officer.
Mayor Brenda Lawrence said she was "very sad that one of our officers was attacked."
"We don't know the motive," she told The Detroit News. "We've never had anything happen like this before."

It seems like she has walked right out of the screen of an old Hollywood movie to show the women of today just why they'll never be as graceful as their grandmothers. A sprightly and vivacious nature is wrapped within a coat of fur and panache, crowned with an adorable cloche. Leaving behind the mesmerised audience, she dusts off her coat before stepping back into the screen just in time for the credit roll. You look around for a trace of her but all she's left behind is the powdery trail of Jovan White Musk Deo Spray.
It is specially created for the woman of today who still lives in the yesteryears and raids her grandmother's closet at every opportunity. She couldn't care less for neon and denim, what with tweed and suede that spells elegance. When she sprays on a bit of this white musk deo from Jovan, she goes back to the time defined by chivalry and a string of pearls. This fragrant blanket wraps her like the stark white paint over this cylindrical bottle. Rummage through the dusty trunk and break out the gloves and scarves as you are ready to shine like a timeless bauble.

As i had bought Adidas Pure Game Deo for myself and 79 Yr old Dad from Flipkart...had to get something for my retired 72 yr old Lecturer Mom(dad-mom had their 50th anniv an year ago...God Bless)...she found Jovan White Musk for Women;mild,neat&clean feeling feminine fragrance...not over powering at all...just like stiff upper lip british humour:)...will re-order...fast delivery in new delhi...also gift to my GF and some cousin sisters...thank you flipkart...for making Mom Happy:)...(she dislikes strong fragrances...a bit high BP Problem)...though unlike Pure Game,the spray-valve was Not Sealed by a sellotape :(
Thank You everybody who took time to punch in the reviews/ratings...all you nice people...God Bless You:)
I have always loved musky fragrances and I bought this one with high hopes. I got a good deal from Flipkart as well. Though the deodorant didn't disappoint in the fragrance department, the staying power/sillage definitely had me frowning. As a deodorant, one would expect it to last for at least 4 hours, this one lasts for less than two. This is really bad compared to deodorants in the same price range like Sure, Dove et al, which last easily for more than six hours.
Always been a fan of Jovan Musk, now, not so much.
Its obviously the first time I am using Jovan and my hubby warned 'I doubt you would like it'. The product arrived and he was right. Smells more like the Pond's Dreamflower Talc. Its good for sensitive skin but in terms of fragnance, its 'OK' but not something I would like to continue.
An inexpensive must musk deo having a pleasant long lasting feminine smell, great for gifting to the ladies. Will buy more before the 25% discount goes down which flipkart usually does after the initial launch. This is one hell of an offer with the genuiness guarantee of flipkart.
This is indeed a great product. I bought one last week. But with the deo being very good had to place orders for more. As usual from flipkart, the orders were delivered in three days flat.. Planning to gift this to few others who inquired about the product..

My Last Minute Surprise Hitchhiking Down To Pensacola
It was my original plan to stay in Nashville all of three days, but by the end of my journey there, I had stayed there almost two weeks. It was a town that enchanted me and was hard to leave. My fantastic host Christine Wheatley definitely made it possible for me to extend my trip, but my journey called me onwards and I had to get down to Pensacola, FL.
I began this trip with the belief that everything I needed would come to me. As I journeyed onwards, I found this was a belief that was about to get tested.
I left Tuesday early in the morning, but before getting out of Dodge, I was treated to a lovely breakfast at one of my jewels of Nashville: Provence. They have been awarded best bread by their local paper and eating it I finally experienced why.
If you've ever had a Grandmother and didn't spontaneoulsy pop out of a hole in the ground, than chances are you had one that made delicious homemade bread just like mine did. There is something amazing that happens when you throw together flour, water, eggs, salt, yeast and cat nip. For $3 at Provence, you can get shot put right back into such delicious childhood memories. Quite the deal.
After taking a long nap in my friend Shante's car (who treated me to this lovely smorgasbord of culinary goodness), I hit the road once again making my way towards Pensacola to dj their first ever blues dance event. Because the distance was 442 miles, I planned on stopping part way in Birmingham, AL.
It was going to be I-65 most of the way since I didn't have a flying Delorean that "doesn't need roads" nor a wild haired uncle willing who made it capable of flying.
Now I suspected that my first experience hitching seemed to flow so smoothly that it was probably the exception and not the rule. When you're gaining experience on the road you have to take things day by day and simply add them up until you have enough data to make a proper pie graph on the ratios of cars that stop to cars who see all hitchers as the scream killer.
Mmmm…tastes like corn syrup. Little do they understand that in the heat of the south, that uniform is just plain silly.
I began soliticing myself to local traffic around 1 PM and after a dismal hour with no luck and a hue of remorse for not showing more leg, I picked up my bag and started walking down the highway, thumb out. When I crossed this sign, I knew if I didn't catch a ride I'd have a ways to walk.
Now hitching while walking on the highway went against the original suggestions given to me, but I soon found out you have to modifiy as you go in order for things to work. After a few miles of walking I was picked up by a musician whose car looked as if a grocery store had exploded in it. I didn't care though. He was a musician and was kind enough to give me a ride for a few miles to a truck stop where my luck might improve.
When he dropped me off, he presented me with a tough choice that I had very little time to make a decision on. I could either keep trying to hitch into the wee hours of night, though the later it gets the harder it gets to catch a ride. Or, I could stay at his place and his wife would make us dinner and I could start again the following day. Being that it was late and never wanting to turn down free food, I was very tempted.
I considered it seriously for a moment, but then said "Nay!" I had an event to get to, a deadline to meet and I was only about fifteen miles out of Nashville which was a dismal amount for being close to 6 PM. I thanked him and turned down his offer. Whether I was going to sleep under a roof with a bed or under a bridge with a troll I was going to forge ahead.
Walking along the highway is an interesting experience. When you're out in the middle of nowhere, not knowing where you'll be that night or what will happen, there is a sense of freedom that is quite tangible. A reality that sinks in that life is truly what you make it, and that there are more paths to take than meet the prescribed avenues society often lays out for us. Thinking on all of this, I got to take in the beauty of the local scenery, watching a sunset over the hills.
There is something so relatable to Forest Gump when I watch a sunset in the middle of nowhere.
After a few hours of walking, another car stopped and grabbed me. My next ride again only took me a few exits, however when we got there he took me to a Burger King and bought me dinner. A very kind and generous offer. Being that I aim to eat healthy I looked over the menu, my mind going "no, no, no, no, no, no" till finally landing on a chicken sandwich in the style of grilled.
While there, a couple overheard me talking about my travels. They were probably in their 50's or 60's and were incredibly friendly. They had been traveling for the past month, however their story was much different than mine. Their son had just died, and though they were very vague, I took from what they had said that he had committed suicide. Despite their good spirits and warmth towards me I could see the pain in their eyes and understood that being a parent is something very foreign to me.
What amazed me though was that here, in the middle of a Burger King in po-dunk nowhere, Tennessee, I had a heart felt moment with these wonderful people who I had just met. We hadn't known each other for weeks, only a brief moment in time and yet here they were opening up their hearts to me and telling me what they were going through. It's touching to feel what you can share with people you consider complete strangers. What can melt in just an instant.
We shook hands and they left with the wish that they could give me a ride. I decidely wanted that too, but we were heading in opposite directions. After I finished my sandwich and talked with the cashier who snuck me out a free Sprite which I thanked her for and then threw away because I don't drink soda, I packed up my stuff and faced the truth: it was late and I was going to be sleeping out tonight.
I had prepared myself for this, and had to admit that traveling like I do, sometimes you catch a ride and sometimes you don't. I walked out into the warm night, and looked at the highway wondering how long it would take me to find a bridge worth sleeping under that wasn't infested with fairy tale trolls who have grievances about people klick-klacking over their homes.
Nothing like getting "was grounded into jelly" in your obituary notice and I unfortunately was short on my troll mace.
Being that I was short on brothers who were meatier and tastier than I, my selection was crucial. That's when something very interesting happened that I did not expect. Something that changed the course of my journey that night.
Tune in next time to read about the rest of my travels to Pensacola.

why ads?All 2014 Nissan Versa Sedans benefit from revised suspension and steering calibration. Entry-level S models get a tachometer and SV and SL models have improved seat-cushion design. The SV also includes a 60/40 split-folding rear seat and the top-line SL gets a 4.3-inch display audio package and 16-inch alloy wheels.
The base Versa S now offers a trunk light and can be had with a 4-speed automatic transmission. Top-trim SL models receive a trunk-release button on the key fob, sun-visor extensions and a driver's seat armrest. A rearview monitor is added to the tech package available in SL models.
More sophisticated sheet metal and improved fuel economy are the most important improvements on the all-new 2012 Nissan Versa Sedan. The Nissan Versa Hatchback continues mostly unchanged for 2012.
Several automakers, including Nissan, foresee a comeback in entry-level compact carstriggered largely by rising fuel prices. "For the first time in many years," said a Nissan senior marketing manager, many shoppers are "giving serious consideration" to smaller automobiles. These marketing folks detect a "void" in the sub-$14,000 price range, noting that a new generation of young people, known as "echo boomers," will reach driving age soon. Nissan promises class-leading horsepower and torque for its new entrant, the Versa hatchback, along with generous interior space. Billed as a "no-compromises" value-priced offering that reaches beyond basic amenities, the Versa is surprisingly roomy inside. A sedan is due later.

yeah i was wondering what this was too
im not gonna be here for that weekend... soo pissed
i think i will, might have to do something for school though, if i miss it im gonna be pissed too
all i saw was something on the fluid website. but i guess thats what everybody else saw too

I think Chris and Garrett are doing it, I might be wrong
No they are not. Already talked to them.
Frank Hastings
You know the web site.
Maybe fluid is finally trying to get a team together? Thats my guess
They used to kinda when I lived there.
Frank Hastings
You know the web site.
so is this like a j4f contest or a fluid team tryout?
I will find out tomorrow when I call Tim. Kinda don't like the name stealing either.
Frank Hastings
You know the web site.
Frank Hastings
You know the web site.
It's also the fact their using the name in an area with high Skim Invasion activity. Sort of to the point of making it seem like it's a Skim Invasion event. And no we don't own the name. There was an event before ours that used Throwdown (flatland one up in the Northwest).
Skim Invasion - Director of Operations
somebody needs to make a weird as shit name for though.
like anthony said, throwdown is kinda taken ahha
"I heard smoking pole makes you trip balls."-GnipGnop
Frank, the boys that say they are "running it" arent the brightest ones. I talked to both of them today and from what I can tell, this will be an epic failure. Both of the guys (if you do contact Tim) will most likely not give you any stress on the name. I already laughed in their faces when they told me about it.
Quinton Good
Color Apparel
Let's Party Traction
Are they getting permits?
Skim Invasion - Director of Operations
Alright i talked to Drew and Spencer today, the brains behind all of this, and its somewhat like a just for fun. There will be three age divisions and it is also a Fluid Skim team tryout.
Done quote me but from what i heard the top two riders from each group will be given a spot on the fluid skim team. So its a little bit of both. They are going to wait a week before the contest to pick a spot, and Tim is doing all the behind the scenes work with the permits and everything, and Drew and Spencer are going to plan all the skim stuff. They have never thrown a contest, nor have any experience in organization of events.
No clue if there will be prizes or anything but I hope they do not mess this up and ruin skimboarding competitions for everyone else around here, so hopefully everything goes well with it and good luck to the fluid skim team.
Oh and also 10 dollars to enter
Go Waterboyz
"When in bad company... Down-size"
If kris and i throw an event you will know it
oh you will know it
what's all the stress about? these guys seem to be trying to organize a small little contest for people to come together and skim. it's just a name guys... if someone wanted to call a contest green eggs and am, i'd think it silly to use the same name paulo and i used but whatever let them have their contest and bring skimmers together.
Exile Skimboards - Manager
Exile Skimboards - Team Rider
Let's Party Traction- Owner/Manager
Resistance Wetsuits- Distributor
yeah, why not "am and cheese" or "honeybaked am"
The biggest stress is making sure they get permits.
One wrong move at some of these beaches and it could send back skimming 5 years. Skimboarding's relationship with a handful counties and cities in Florida is really delicate.
And I disagree about other people using event names.
But I do feel better that Tim is more active in this event. Should go through the proper channels.
Skim Invasion - Director of Operations
how many skim bash's and jam's are there. like 4 each? I'd understand more if it was "Invasion" but throwdown..already a clothing company on top of skim contest name.
[B][COLOR="Indigo"][COLOR="Purple"]Purple Snakes. ssssssssss[/COLOR][/COLOR][/B]
yea, the whole panties in a bunch over the name is a bit over the top...
i could see if you guys had something super unique, but just for throwdown? come on.
watch the moving bodies as they react to the sound
Derek or Dale or Bart please delete this thread. I have worked it all out and got things worked out.
And until this is deleted, I will say this. We are trying to create an identity all our own. All be it yeah we can't tell people not to use our names. And we are not upset with people trowing events. But we are for skimming, skimboarders, and the progression of the sport. If other people, as Robs said, throw an event without going through the proper channels, then it could hurt us when we try to get a permit. And yes it has happened many times in other towns where someone throws an event and the county says well " you skimmers " threw an event without a permit last time so no and don't waste our time. Long story short.
Frank Hastings
You know the web site.
Let's take Oktoberfest for example.
That's an established term for an event. (beer drinking)
But in skimboarding I believe Aaron Peluso owns the rights to that. Now if someone in New Jersey took that and used it...it's one thing.
But if someone took it and threw an event in Soulag with Oktoberfest...that's over the line.
The biggest deal is the permits. One wrong action could hurt our own event (and our new camps). We wanted to get the scoop in order to maybe warn the city, "HEY THIS IS NOT US!" Because like Frank said we ran into the exact situation in South Florida when trying to get permits.
"You skimboarders" was their exact outlook.
Skim Invasion - Director of Operations
Oktoberfest and Green eggs and am are a little more unique than the work throwdown. thats so general. who gives a shit. if you want to make an identity why not use somthing more unique so things like this never happen. just saying.
damn infractions
Well Pipemasters isn't very original. Just sayin.
Frank Hastings
You know the web site.
Oktoberfest is more unique?
Maybe invest a lot of time into a name and someone in your home town uses the same name. Sort of messed up in my view but the biggest thing is the permits. The name keeps coming up from you guys complaining...it's not a huge deal. Steve Taylor understands the effort put into events but he's the only one with a valid point of view.
Skim Invasion - Director of Operations
i just commented on the name thing broseph, i completely understand your concern with permits and making sure they run it right and not screw up relationships with the city. thats a pretty solid concern.
watch the moving bodies as they react to the sound
Yeah it's not all saying we have the only right to throw events. If people go the right route to events....anyone and everyone can drop events there.
Skim Invasion - Director of Operations
i never thought you were saying that, i just thought the main concern was about the name. muh bee. i probably should have just kept my mouth shut since this is none muh buinass but i was bored haha. muh bee yo.

The results are in for Florida FFA competitions and the Levy County Fair competition and the news is good for teams from Levy County.
The last week in February was an exciting time on Seahorse Key. The Cedar Key Arts Center's first Artist-in-Residence, Robert Firth, was a guest of the island, courtesy of Dr. Jennifer Seavey, Assistant Director of the Seahorse Laboratory. Firth's visit corresponded with the return of the Horseshoe Crabs to their nesting beaches, a sight he found fascinating. This is the first-ever collaboration between the University of Florida and the Cedar Key Arts Center, with hopes to offer future opportunities in what Dr. Seavey calls "art meets science."

this is some next-level Leonardo da Vinci ish!Strandbeest, by Dutch artist Theo Jansen"Self-propelling beach animals like Animaris Percipiere have a stomach . This consists of recycled plastic bottles containing air that can be pumped up to a high pressure by the wind. This is done using a variety of bicycle pump, needless to say of plastic tubing.
Several of these little pumps are driven by wings up at the front of the animal that flap in the breeze. It takes a few hours, but then the bottles are full. They contain a supply of potential wind. Take off the cap and the wind will emerge from the bottle at high speed. The trick is to get that untamed wind under control and use it to move the animal. For this, muscles are required. Beach animals have pushing muscles which get longer when told to do so. These consist of a tube containing another that is able to move in and out. There is a rubber ring on the end of the inner tube so that this acts as a piston. When the air runs from the bottles through a small pipe in the tube it pushes the piston outwards and the muscle lengthens. The beach animal's muscle can best be likened to a bone that gets longer. Muscles can open taps to activate other muscles that open other taps, and so on. This creates control centres that can be compared to brains."

"You MUST buy this book -- why? Its Complicated!"
Scalzi and Wheaton did "Fuzzy Nation" together which is absolutely marvelous. Scalzi writes in a fast pace mode and Wheaton pulls if off. BTW, if you think of Wil Wheaton only from his Star Trek, TNG days, you will find the "man" terrific to listen to!
Anyone who knows anything about original Star Trek, they know that the unknown person who beams down with the away team will die -- hence the title.
The story is amazing, fast paced, and wonderfully philosophical. It is rare that a great sci-fi novel has words from a Catholic priest in the last few minutes.
The book is about the part of the crew of the Star Ship "Intrepid", and of course several centuries in the future. From there it gets "complicated" (a running joke through the book).
From Space Ships and a Star Trek like academy to a roller coaster starting its uphill climb. The 3 Codas at the end are like the end of the roller coaster ride -- smooth and even to bring you back to normality -- but it does not quite succeed. That is what makes a great roller coaster ride.
It is a bit expensive for 8 hrs, but not money wasted. In fact, you might want to listen to "Fuzzy Nation" first to get used to the Scalzi/Wheaton combo.
P.S. I Love You
"Series of GEMS"
This is the first book of a great series in an evolving genre of "alternate history". Alternate history is a blend of history and science fiction. In this case a 50 sq. mile of West Virginia becomes part of 1632 Germany. They decide to start a new USA and start the revolution a 150 years early.
Yet they have the knowledge and technology of 400 years. It helps high school and their teachers are involved and handy resources. (like having the Professor along in the 1960's Gillian's Isle series) What would you do?
This series is another GEM of Eric Flint, David Weber, Charles Gannon. Fast paced series and well-developed characters. At the writing of this review, 1634 is supposedly recorded. It is confusing. I think recorded books may have reorganized the series. They may have made the series into 1632, 1633 and 1635 and skipped 1634 and 1636. Print books in the series included 1632,1633,1634,1635 and 1636,
A firm answer to the question of: "does the recorded series titles match the printed titles?" be nice -- but it doesn't matter much. Even out-of-order, the series is wonderful
"Great Update!"
In the Preface, Allen goes on to explain how he went back to these two older classics of his and did a minor rewrite of both books in the series. I think his words were something like he wanted to keep the story the same, but fill in the literary potholes that as a more experienced writer, he easily solved and simply smoothed things out.
Like a lot of classic Sci-Fi, you can see how the genre has improved.
I loved the book(s). A solid story, plenty of military Sci-Fi, a love story, tactics, and futuristic "idea" on how to travel faster than the speed (called C squared). Fun, solid, and a great example of classic work. In fact, if you did read the preface, you would find the book only slightly dated.
Well worth the credit(s).
"Well Done Story"
I loved the story, but the story does not stand on its own. It needs a setup and some closure that hints at a series. But besides that, the story was fun and well done and the performance was well done.
Serious and fun. I look forward to the rest of the series.
"Read Book 1 First!"
Jay Allen writes a very compelling story of what could be called WWIII (he calls it the unification wars). Lots of of space battles and a very interesting outlook on what politics driving the battles may look like - with lots of speculation. This is fine as it gives the reader something to ponder.
The first book actually has the first 3 chapters of the second book included with it. If the series ends with book 2, it is a good story, and has battles, navies, marines, love, and something to ponder of what will happen in the future. There is a twist which I will not mention as it would be a spoiler
Lastly, Jeff Bower does a FANTASTIC job of narrating the books. A few sound effects tastefully added enhance the book.
I wish in a series like this they would tell you if more books are coming and if so how many. Jay Allen puts in an addendum where he describes the superpowers, space battles in zero gravity -- and things like why a space fleet zipping by and making a firing pass at another fleet at high speeds may need hours to stop, turn around and come back and other such details. It is worth the money.
"Fantastic Story, more Fantasy than Sci-Fi"
I loved this story. I am a hard core Sci-Fi Reader, but this one seemed interesting to me. It was better than any of the Sci-Fi book I have read recently.
It starts way back when a southern section of China is captured by the Barbarians. Something evil happens throughout year for the owner, including two WWII.
Entering a US Scholar.
Anything more would be a spoiler, except, I think Allison Hiroto is the Absolutely the best fit of a narrator the this book
"Fast, Fun, Fast, Unexpected and Gripping!"
What happens to bike chicks, who are former Airborne, who get transported to a planet with low gravity? This story is part Biker Chick, and part Chivalry, and has 6 legged purple leopard people!
First this is an adult adventure - not even close to PG-13. My goodness it is narrated in the 1st person by a that Airborne trained biker chick. Lots a crazy wild sexual thoughts and plenty of sexual action. She is hard to control as she is tough, well-trained and because of the low gravity, she can jump straight up several stories.
Lots of fun adventures at an incredible pace. The pace is truly amazing -- you have to keep up. It was one GREAT FUN SCI-FI book that uses only a little sci-fi and instead uses well-developed characters from another world to carry it along.
Just be warned, it contains hard-care vulgarity in spots. But in trade you get fantastic characters that amazingly face-paced story!
"A masterful work from 1986 now on audio!"
In 1986, or a year or two later, I read this book. I loved it then. But life goes on and even the title escaped my memory. I started listening to it, and low and behold some parts were familiar and other parts forgotten.
The story is timeless, even though it was written in the time of the USSR. I enjoyed it so much I must admit I stayed up WAY too late listening to the book. It is a long book (three parts of 8+ hours, or 24 hours of listening) and it can be hard to just quit listening.
The ending is dramatic and satisfactory. It must be hard for two Sci-Fi greats as Niven and Pournelle to cooperate on such a project, but is was a grand project very well done.
And it is a BARGAIN. 24hrs of listening for one credit! If you like Sci-Fi, this is one you should not miss. 35 years old and still a fantastic read - an ultimate classic.
"A classic of living before WWI - must read!"
This book tells about how some early Americans worked hard to live in Brooklyn, mostly poor but together as a community and a family. Eventually this hard working family sends a bright girl who did not go to HS (she took what would be the equivalent of the GED today) and went to college. At age 14 she dressed up to take a 16 year old's job and made a lot of money for her family instead of going to HS as her father dies young at age 35.
Finally some money comes the family's way and she gets to go to college at Michigan. A heart warming Classic that everyone should read. It is a story about working hard and still getting to better yourself through education and do well because of fortitude.
"Want to know what it is like to be a fighter jock?"
This is a great book on what it is like. He tells the good and the bad. This is a short book and I unusually read Sci-Fi. But this was one of the most entertaining, honest and hard hitting books I have read (listen) to!
"Nothing better than Heinlein performed by a cast!"
This is not a long book and the science is very dated. But what Heinlein could envision is amazing. Reaction mass ships who require some mass purpose stop wars. They do these by having only under their control in set orbits, the Atom Bombs (that is right, Atom Bombs).
They are a military protection patrol. They are not an Army of any state. They keep the peace for the entire solar system.
They also control an elite and invincible Space Marine division. The book uses something like 15 voices and do a voice actions. If you pay cash (it is cheaper by cash than a token) it is fabulous entertainment.
Some Sci-Fi readers who will not find this book worth much because it is dated. But if you love a terrific Sci-Fi that is represented of an very well respected Master of the Genre, you might do as I just did.
I listened to the book in one sitting. What a Reat!
