I'll be in the area soon on business and might want to stop in and poke around to look at some bikes to kill some time. I'd ideally like to throw a leg over a MK III 19" and 21". Any suggestion on decent shops?

CAW # 9 Entry the Gift
The Gift Please note apparent grammar and spelling mistakes are not mistakes, they were written that way on purpose, that's how people in the story talk, to give it a more authentic feel, people don't speak in perfect English, aight. Hey, Boo, I say walking into the apartment, I'm home. Where you at girl. I'm in the bathroom hun, Tony yells from the rear of the apartment, give me a couple minutes. Aight well hurry up, I yell back grabbing a Old E forty from the fridge, We gotta meet T and the crew at the club by 10. Just a couple minutes longer Babe, you want me to look fine for you right. You'll look dope , no matter what you be wearing girl, I say rolling a blunt on her coffee table. Tony is a short light skinned Latino girl. She has long flowing black hair that is almost down to her ankles. She has an ass you can bounce a quarter of off. Her huge tits are always perky, and much bigger than you would expect for her size, all real though. At thirty, she is the best girl I have ever had in my short mating career, me being only seventeen, even though she and no one else but a few people know it. Tony sits on the toilet holding the pregnancy test in her hand, staring at it in disbelief. She shakes it and stares at it again, then tosses it in the trash. She walks into the bedroom and finishes dressing. She pulls on skin tight jeans and a half top that shows her flat stomach off. She looks in the mirror, hugs herself and thinks that her stomach might not be that flat much longer, and then smiles. Now you might ask yourself how could she not know I'm only seventeen. Well let me tell you, very few adult men let alone teenagers look like me. I'm six foot five, a full foot taller than her. I wear a muscled frame, like business men wear suits. My pecs and biceps bulging against my tight white tee-shirt. I have a full beard on my face, that I have to keep trimmed on almost a daily basis. The bald head helps me look older as well. That is how most of a city, is fooled by me. Damn girl , will you hurry up, we gota go, I yell to the back of the apartment. Here I come, she says walking out, looking smoking hot as usual, Here I am, you ready to go. Yeah, lets roll, you wanna hit dis, I ask just before lighting the blunt. No, I don't feel good, she says slapping my shoulder, And I told you not to be smoking that shit in here, the landlord was -bitching about the smell the other day. Ah boo, don't sweat that motherfucker, I say laughing, We bout to move on up. I told you I been savin my ends, so I can buy my queen a house. Ok, baby, she says hugging me, it would be nice to get outa here. We climb into my Navigator and drive to the club, bumping Biggie Smalls from the state of the art sound system. The windows rattle every time the base hits. We pull into the parking lot, with my boys waiting for us. We met up and walk in the club, with every head turning towards us as we enter. Mostly looking at my girl I know it , and love it. I love the fact that most of the men in this place are jealous of me. We walk back to the VIP section and order our drinks. I notice that Tony doesn't order any alcohol and wonder what is up wit her. The weekend is usually her time to wile out. She has a job as a paralegal during the week, but loves to party on the weekend. She is almost always plastered by the time we leave the club on Friday and Saturday. She must be sick, she said she wasn't feelin good before that must be it. Yo cuz, we might have to roll out early, I say leaning over to Terrance. Why, he asks leaning back sipping his drink. Tony, ain't feelin good tonight, she ain't drinkin, I say with a shrug, She must be sick, cause she loves to come out and party on the weekend. Man we might need you tonight, that fool Ricky is here, Terrance says shaking his head And you know he's gonna start some shit, we need all hands on deck. Then I'll take her home and comeback Brah, I say nodding at him, I'm leaving now, I'll be back in like twenty. Alright, he says as he stands and we dap up, He's is beefin wit you so be careful. I'll be there and back in a flash, I say then walk over too Tony and whisper in her ear, she shakes her head yes and we walk back out too the car. I see Ricky walking back from his car as we pull from the parking lot. We drive in silence for awhile, then I turn the music back on, to kill the silence, waiting for her to tell me what's bothering her. Ok, Boo, what's up with you tonight? Nothing, Babe, she says rubbing my shoulder, I just don't feel good, I'll be ok. You sure nothings wrong? Just a little tummy ache, she says smiling, I just want to curl up with you on the couch, and watch a movie. Aight, boo, I say rubbing her head and pulling her against my shoulder. We walk in the house, and I sit on the couch and pick a movie on our DVD changer. She walks into the bedroom, and brings a blanket back out with her. She curls up in the blanket, and snuggles into my chest as the lion roars onto the screen. Halfway through the movie she has slipped down to where he head is laying in my lap, and she is fast asleep. I get a text message from Terrance telling me he needs me back at the club now. I reply that I am on my way, as I gently lift her head from my lap, place a pillow under it, a head out the door. I see he wake up just a little, turn her head and settle back down. She hates when I fight so I'm glad to leave her at home. We have been beefin wit Ricky for over two years now. I kicked the shit out of his little brother and he has been gunning for me ever since then. I speed back to the club and see our crew squaring off with his already. I jump from my navigator, and walk to the front of the group. I stand next to Terrance staring their whole group down, arms crossed against my chest, flexing my arm muscles in the tight t-shirt. Yeah there he is, that's the fucking chocha that did my little hermano, he says pointing to me. Well what the fuck are you going to do about it puta, I say walking up to him spitting the words in his face. I'm going to do this, he says pulling a nine from behind his back and cocking it, and pointing it at me. I tell you this you fucking little pussy, I say staring into his eyes, and walking into the gun so it is against my chest If you pull it , you better use it. If you use it, you better not miss, motherfucker cause I will kill you. I feel my phone buzz in my pocket, as we stand there staring each other down. I see him blink and know that I have won. I turn around and begin to walk away, I pull my phone from my pocket too read the text I just got. It's from Tony 'plse dnt do anythng dumb, u r going to be a father I need u around'. That stops me in my tracks, as I stand the in a stupor I hear the gun fire, and dive to the side. The bullet breaks apart on the ground the fragments imbedding themselves in my leg. I stand up searching the parking lot for Ricky, leaving my phone laying on the pavement. I spot him and run at him, I don't if the gun jams on him or he is so surprised he becomes frozen, but he doesn't get another shot off before I reach him. I punch him twice in the face and once right in the solar plexus knocking the wind from him. I pick him up, seeing red and throw him through a cars windshield. I punch out the drivers side window of the car, unlock the door and pull him back out onto the blacktop, with him landing in a puddled mass of pain. I told you motherfucker, you'd better kill me, I say kneeling down on his chest as he struggles to throw me off, Now it's over. I grab him by his greasy slick hair, pulling his head up slightly I punch him in the face and watch the momentum carry his head back down to the pavement bouncing of it and propelling him back towards my fist, and I punch him again and again. Terrence grabs me by the shoulders, lifting me off of Ricky's pulverized face. I turn automatically and throw a punch at him, that he ducks and backs away. Woe, Woe, he says putting his hands up, Let's get the fuck outa here before 5-0 rolls up. We all dash to our cars and race out of the parking lot as we hear sirens in the distance. Terrance follows me back to my place, climbs into my SUV and hands me a lighter. Weed is one of the few things that calm me down, after a rage state, and I feel the effects immediately after I take a few good hits and then pass it to him. Did you see, that text, he asks me as Tony comes running out of the house. What happened I saw the news, they are looking for both of the groups, god damn it, what did you do to him, they had to life flight. The asshole shot me, and I threw him the a fucking windshield, I say starting to laugh. Yeah, you fucked him up, Terrance says with a laugh, How's your leg Brah. We need to take you to the hospital.. Tony starts to say. Naw, I ain't gonna go to no hospital, I say waving her off and taking another hit before continuing, You can clean it out and sew it up. You said they was looking for the groups right. She just nods her head. Then a gun shot wound will bring to many questions, I say breathing the smoke out, He barley hit me anyway it can't be that bad. Well let's get you in the house so I can look at it, Tony says and then gasps as she open the door and sees my bloody pants hanging around my leg. Come on get in here Jaylan. Yeah, that looks bad, Terrance says laughing and choking on his smoke, I'm out, let you woman baby you. You two got things to talk about. He climbs from my truck we hug, he climbs into his cart and drives off. Tony and I directly into the bathroom, where she grabs her first aid kit. She makes me strip off my pants and sit on the toilet, while she sits on the rim of the tub. She lays out a pair of tweezers a needle and 1 pound test fishing line, on the sink. I lift my leg into her lap, as she gently begins to search for fragments. It really is only a flesh wound, but she makes a big deal of it anyway, like she always does. You know one of theses days, you gonna get int some shit, I can't fix with a needle and thread, she says debriding the wound with a saline solution. That shit don't hurt Jay? Why u think I think I puffed a bowl first. I say laughing. Well there ain't no fragments in it, she says, It looks more like a brush burn so you don't need no stitches neither. Aight, I say putting my leg down and leaning forehead to forehead with, so was that text message true? Yes, I found out just before we left, she says hugging my neck, as I feel her crying softly, Are you ok with this? I...I.., I stammer , I don't what to feel about it. I mean I know you always wanted one, we got money socked away, so yeah I'm good with this, I think it's a great idea. This is going to be a big responsibility, she says rubbing my cheek with her hand, You can't been doin shit like tonight, we are both going to need you around. Aw babe it'll be fine, what else do I know how to do, I'll just sit back more wit T, not do so much, I say applying air quotes, field work. You know.... she begins to say but I cut here off with a kiss. We kiss lustfully as we sit in the bathroom. We stand up and walk into the adjacent bedroom, we lay on the bed watching TV, I her hold gently and we fall asleep that way. Can you help me up, Tonya says holding her arms out to me, she is full belied and can't even see her feet anymore. Ok, I say grabbing her hands and pulling her up from the couch, Where are you going? I'll be back I'm just running to the store for a few things, she replies bending gingerly and picking up her purse. Ok, can you grab some chips and dip the boys are coming over for the game later. I thought we talked about this, she says with a sigh, I don't want them fucking hood rats in my house. God Damn it, this isn't just your fucking house, I took a back seat in the business, what more d you want from me, I yell starting a fight we have had many times before. You know what I want, she yells back, I want you to go get a real job. Look at this place, look at the babies room, I say jumping back up from the couch, You think a regular job, is going to pay for all this shit we have? You want me to go flip burgers, or what clean up after people, you think that will give me enough money to take care of you and my son? I don't want to have to worry about, you getting shot or arrested and spending your sons life in prison like Jerome is. Why don't you get into construction, you love working with your hands, you fixed this place up nice, you could do that. Please you have to decide if you want us, or you want your friends, what do you want. I don't know, I say with an exasperated sigh. I'll be back, she says slamming the door on her way out. She still isn't back by the time Terrance a couple of my buddies come over for the game. She does this sometimes and then comes home and tells me that she is sorry her hormones got the better of her. T she is on me to get out again, she stormed out of here today, just before you guys got here, I say with a shrug, I don't know what to do. She's right Brah, Terrance says with a sly smile, You need to wise up and listen to her. You are so young you can get out and start over, for some of us it's to late, but you have skills, your smart as fuck too, so you could be whatever the fuck you want. I know you, I know you got most of that money you've made tucked away somewhere. You need to take Tony , go back home away from all this shit, and be the family man you were meant to be Brah. I never thought you'd say that to me, I say after my double take, You just saying that or do you really mean that? I never wanted to get you caught up, in all this when you first came up here, he says leaning on my shoulder, I thought you would finish high school playing football and go to college, you were good enough and still are to play college ball. So why didn't you tell me all this before? You were so angry and fucked up when you got up here, I figured you needed to let off some steam before you got back to the regular life, and then you got so into it I couldn't think of way to talk you out. Man that's some deep shit, I say shaking my head, So I should just diss yins and go straight, man I ain't lettin my son grow up fuckin broke like I did. Yeah, I'm more worried about him growin up wit out a dad like you did, he says grabbing his beer and heading back towards the living room, This shit will only end in two ways, with you in jail, or six feet deep, either way that leaves your son wit out a dad, think about it. Besides look what you did to this place, rich people will pay you damn good money to do this for them, like I said you got the skills, use'em. I sit down on the stool in the kitchen and try and wrap my head around what he just told me. Coming from him, after all that we had done together, was the biggest surprise I had ever gotten. I never thought he ever wanted to get out, or felt that way about this shit. He always seemed so happy, doing what we were doing. We had lost a lot of friends either to the system or to the bullet, but we never talked about getting out or going straight before. I grab a beer and walk back into the living room, glancing at the clock wondering where Tony is. I'm not really worried yet, a couple times she has stayed out for hours after a fight, I know she'll come back when she is ready. I clean up after the game, as everyone else is leaving Terrance sticks around. Did you think about what I told you in the kitchen, he asks. Man why the fuck is everyone trying to tell me what to do? Hey, he says grabbing me, I'm lookin out for my little cousin, like I shoulda been when you first got here. I fucked up lettin you get in this shit, now you gotta think about your son and your girl. They need you, alive and here. Plus it'll do me some good to see someone to rise above all this bullshit and make it legit. Why you puttin this on me man, I say pushing him away, I ain't no better than them guys that just left, I ain't no better than you. Well what the fuck do you want me to do, I say as I start pacing, I'm not wanted at home, I don't fit into that cunts little perfect picture. Now you tellin me you don't want me no more, where the fuck do I belong then huh, fuckin tell me that. That ain't what I'm sayin, he says shaking his head, You always jumpin to conclusions cuz, you gota relax. I hope one day you will understand that I'm tryin to do something good for you here. If you don't want me around, just say.... I start to yell and then hod up a finger at Terrance as I answer the phone, hoping it's Tony calling. Is this the residence of Miss Tonya Golski? Yeah, who dis? We need someone to come to St. Sebastian's Miss Golski has been in an auto accident, the nurse tells me as my heart drops, We need someone to sign some consent forms. How bad is she, I ask her hurriedly heading towards the door already. I'm not able to discuss that over the phone with you, sir. The sooner you get here the better. I'll be there as quick as I can... I say losing my train of thought. Just come to the emergency room, and tell them that you are here for Miss Golski. I just drop the phone at head out the door with Terrance trailing right behind me. We jump into his car, and he screeches out of the parking space heading to the hospital. What happened, he asks swerving around a slow driving clunker. They said she was in a car accident, she's gotta be ok right, I mean not on fucking Christmas eve, she's going to be ok, I ramble out in one long spurt, and just mumble the last 5 words to myself, the rest of the way to the hospital. We get there and I barge in pushing people out of the way. I demand to see her, and we are ushered into a waiting room, for the surgical unit. I pace the floor, then sit and stand every few minutes. I can't sit still. What the fuck is taking so long, I scream in rage and put my fist threw the wall. Sir, your going to have to calm down, unless you want to leave, the nurse says rushing in at the noise. He'll be ok, Terrance says grabbing me and forcing me to sit down again, His pregnant girlfriend was brought in here after a car accident. We've been here close to two hours now and haven't gotten a news of how she's doing. I'm sorry sir, she says sheepishly looking at the floor, What is her name, I'll see what I can find out. Her name is Tonya Golski, Terrance answers shaking his head forcing me to stay in my seat. I'll be back shortly,with anything I can find out. The nurse returns only two minutes later, and tells us she is still in surgery. She brings an arm load of forms for us to sign, and then slips out as I start to go over them. My hands are shaking so bad, I can barely write, as Terrance grabs the clipboard and fill the forms out for me. He walks out to the nurses station, and hands them back to the nurse. He apologizes for me, explains we are going out for a cigarette and herds me to the door, and into the calming cold air. We both light up and stand, shivering in the light dusting of snow, that has begun to fall. You gota hold it together Brah, Terrance says putting his hand on my shoulder as he stomps out his but. I just want to know something, what the fuck is taking so long, I say stamping my feet in place for warmth. Well....you can't loose it in there, he says hugging me, Getting angry won't get you anywhere, just relax and let them do their job. We walk back in and sit down in the waiting room, I begin to doze off after my adrenaline let down. I startle myself awake, and see Terrance talking to the nurse in the hallway. I hurry out to interrupt the conversation. Any news yet, I butt in. She and the baby, are out of surgery, in their respective recovery rooms, they nurse says rubbing my arm gently, They made it through the hard part, the both should be ok, now. I don't even have the strength to answer, I jut turn, walk back to waiting room, and collapse on the couch. I hang my head between my knees and just sit there in a daze. He, they are going to need you, the nurse says to Terrance, It was really ruff going for both of them, they made it through the hard part, but both are going to need time and possibly another surgery or two. Ok, don't worry, Terrance says softly, I ain't going nowhere, when can he see them? Tonya should be coming out of the anesthesia in the next few minutes, she replies, The baby is going to have to stay in the incubator for at least a week. Just let us know when we can go in and see her, Terrance says stopping to think, He has to see her first. Ok. Terrance sits next to me and just hugs me to him, as I breakdown and sob into his shoulder. It's my fault they are in here, if we hadn't had that fight she wouldn't have been out there to get hit, I whisper to him. Don't even start that shit, he tells me, They both are going to need you, you gota pull it together and this self pity shit ain't gona cut it. I shouldn't be here, she won't even want to see me..... Yes she does, I know Tony she isn't gonna blame you for this, I promise. The nurse comes in and waves for us to follow her. We follow her to the ICU, I just stand and stare at Tony, with all the machines and tubes hooked up to her. I can't seem to bring myself to go into the room. Can I see my son first, I ask as she nods and walks a short way down the hallway. We walk to the NICU and I walk in and and rub his back for the first time. He is so tiny, I say in awe. He is a couple of weeks early, but he hasn't had any significant injuries, the ICU is just a precaution, the nurse whispers as the church bells across the street chime twelve, He should be ready to go home in a few days. I'm ready to see Tonya now, I need to see her, I blurt out walking back to her room. I hesitate at the door again, afraid to go in, she looks so tiny and fragile hooked up to all those machines. I feel like I have lead weighted feet, as I drag them over the threshold of here room. I look up from where my eyes have been, glued to floor, and see her eyes flutter open. She looks to be in shock, and begins to look around the room in a panic. Hey, hey, I say rushing over to her bed and holding her head so she doesn't thrash around and pull anything loose, It's ok, everythings ok. Where, what, where's the baby, she asks panicky, Where am I ? You were in an accident hun, you are that the hospital, I say rubbing her cheek and soothing her hair back, The boy is alive and fine, they're keeping him in here for a few days, but he is ok. They say you'll be ok too. I don't remember anything, did they tell you what happened? No hun just that you were in an accident. You sure the baby is ok? The baby is fine they had to do an emergency surgery to take him out, but he came out fine, he's right down the hall. You saw him, she asks tears falling from her eyes. Yes I saw him first, I say kissing her forehead, And he looks perfect, tiny but perfect. I'm so sorry, for this...this mess, she says pulling me down and suspending the talk with a quick kiss, It's all my fault, I shoulda let you just watch the game, and not started bitchin at ya. It's ok, everyone is going to be ok, I say leaning down and kissing her forehead, It's my fault I shouldn't off got you started, if I would of lost you.... We just hug for a few minutes, I tell myself not to squeeze since she must be sore. I see her squeeze her eyes shut, in a flash of pain and let go, worried that I am hurting her. She reaches for my face, and pulls my head down to her. Please just promise me, if I ain't here, make sure he don't grow up like we did, she says staring into my eyes, holding my cheeks. Your gona.. Shhh, he is your responsibility now, you gotta make sure he has a better childhood than you, she says then closes her eyes for the last time. My son sits across from my hospital bed, and just shakes his head. She was a tuff little thing though, she struggled three more days, before she let go. I know she wanted to hold you at least once, before she left, I say tears trickling down my cheeks. Wow old man, that's some story, he says walking over to the bed and hugging me, You never answered the question though. That story was the answer to your question young buck, I say with a cough, You were and always will be the best Christmas present I ever got. I am in the position I am today, because you came along and made me grow up. Don't say that, you never know you.. he begins and is cut off by one of my coughing fits. Naw kid, I woulda been dead by now or in prison, if you hadn't come along. You forced me to change and be a man. Well we still got time, I want to hear more stories about you and mom, he says helping me sit up and handing me a glass of water. I'm not sure how many stories I got left in me, I say going into another coughing fit, But we'll see. Go home and kiss the grandkids for me. I need a nap right now, bring the babies by tomorrow.

No, it wasn't too long. Thank you for telling us about the language up front, it made it much easier to understand. It was a very interesting story and left me with questions about all of them.

Contained some tricky fast-forwards but good in its own way. Kind of like an episode of "Waltons In The Hood" with Ice T playing the part of John Boy.

i think the dialect writing was good. I could have used a little more phonetics in it to more fully represent the sound, but I got it after a bit.
Latina girls, though, not Latino girls. The o is a masculine end, and girls are not masculine, although a few pack something extra in their drawers, chingas con pingas, verdad? LOL the Spanish cuss words were good, but to be honest I had a hard time visualizing ethnicity. Maybe a sentence in Spanish would have helped that more.

Copied from stories site:
I liked the general premise of the story but was personally turned off by some of the themes. All in all I think you write it well and did what you wanted with it, it just wasn't my thing. I look forward to more from you however. |

It is something different, but initially I was thrown off by the dialogue. As I continued it grew on me.
Good job nutmoney. And good luck in the contest.

This sort of reads like an afternoon movie about redemption, set in a world of gangs and drugs and violence, which somehow manages to skip over the fact that it's about gangs and drugs and violence. I thought the writing was good and it moved from scene to scene smoothly enough, but it also lacked sex, which I feel every story on this site should have. Sorry to be negative, but I'm hoping to comment on all the competition entries, so I guess it's inevitable at some point.

1 crochet hook, 2.75 mm
at least 375 yards of 5mm medium weight acrylic yarn in colors approximating hair, preferably in multiple similar colors
1 sheet of plastic canvas, at least 10.5"x 13.5", grade 7 mesh
~18 inches of slender elastic (a cut-open elastic hair wrap works great)
Time: 3-4 hours
Step 1: Yarn and Plastic Canvas
Underneath the label is a leftover strip of the plastic canvas the beard substrate is made of.
I picked brown so it wouldn't stand out much from under the yarn but it comes in other colors too. It cost about $.50 for a sheet and you only need one per beard. Using this stuff saves you the trouble of needing to learn to knit.
It's also sturdy enough to be a solid base, but still easy to cut with scissors.
Step 2: Crochet Hook
Step 3: Diagram
XXXX-tra thick fill means I used 3 strands of yarn instead of 2 and I planted more yarn in that area.
I was able to make both a beard and a wig for a "Dwarf" character with a little ingenuity and a lot of work :)
Not much of a "knitting" type myself, so your approach was great.
Anyways, thanks again for the how-to, it was really easy to make and cheap too!
All in all, great Instructable, very easy to do, with a ridiculous amount of room for customization, and fairly cost effective. Seriously, this is something I could see having its own booth at fantasy/sci-fi/gaming conventions (or even having its own "how-to" event where you teach people how to make them).
- you make for a great Dwarf Warrior. Though It reminds me of Stoick the Vast (Hiccups Father in "How to train your Dragon") Don't know if they were dwarfs or not.. but either way - it looks great!
One question: Does it ich?
Thanx for posting and Happy Holidays to you and yours
- chase -
Happy holidays to you too! It's not too late to make a Santa beard :-)
Sorry I didn't read the other comments earlier.
My concern was not so much the yarn as it was the fabric you were using to hold the yarn.
One thought i had in the mean time was using some sort of backing once completed.
I'm not a seamstress nor know that much about costume design... and it was a thought.
Figuring you would know - and since you are wearing it - it can't be all that bad as it is - right!
Yeah - a Santa beard or better still - a Time Wizard (or Father Time) for New Years!
I can get a trashed as I want - turn back time and do it again. lol
Llooking forward to your next design as this one looks great!
take care,

Last week, I revealed the results of a Top 5 poll of Vanquish The Foe writers about what non-BCS teams we desire BYU to play. Today, it's time to examine the results of the same poll for BCS/AQ/Big 5 opponents.
Again, I asked the writers to consider games against teams BYU is not already scheduled to play -- which rules out Wisconsin, Nebraska, Michigan, USC, Notre Dame, West Virginia, Virginia, Texas, Utah, Arizona, possibly Washington State, and Stanford (according to Utah AD Chris Hill, at least) who are all slated on BYU's future schedules.
Here's how they voted:
BYU and LSU have never met on the football field, but once had a home-home series slated for 2003-04 that was canceled. While unlikely, playing middle-tier and above SEC teams is a dream many Cougar faithful share. LSU partially appears in the Top 5 thanks to our traveling man Presten, who voted for three SEC schools. Let's help a faithful traveler out, eh Mr. Holmoe? Presten wants to visit Death Valley.
BYU has some history with every other school in the Top 5, but none more so than Arizona State, former conference mate of BYU's in the WAC before ASU was adopted into the Pac 10. The Devils have a decided 20-7 series advantage over the Cougars, but the schools did meet in a four-game series in the '90s as well, splitting them 2-2.
The last time the two played was in 1998, when BYU returned home from a 38-31 road loss to Alabama to stifle ASU, 26-6. I attended this late, late ESPN2 game, and the Cougars shut down Heisman hopeful J.R. Redmond, allowing him just 28 yards on 16 carries.
With plenty of BYU faithful in the greater Phoenix area, visits to Tempe (or Glendale) would be popular, similar to what BYU has lined up with Arizona.
Three second-place votes launched TCU to the #3 spot of our poll. Many Cougar fans felt BYU had a burgeoning rivalry with the Horned Frogs that was cut short. After playing a few times during the WAC days, this matchup was revitalized with TCU's inclusion in the Mountain West in 2005, when the two schools played a thriller that saw BYU lose 51-50 at home in overtime.
BYU upset a top-15 TCU the next year on the road, but TCU owned the series from 2008-2011. ESPN helped broker a neutral-site game at Cowboys Stadium in 2011, BYU's first as an independent, and it seems rekindling this series with the now-Big-12 school is a sentiment shared by us and many other BYU fans. TCU leads the all-time series 6-5.
Also, we miss joking about Gary Patterson's pants-tugging.
BYU shares more history with Ohio State than a casual observer might suspect. The two have met three different times in bowl games, each time the Buckeyes being the victorious party. After destroying Steve Young's Cougars 47-17 in the 1982 Holiday Bowl, BYU got a rematch in the 1985 Citrus Bowl. Robbie Bosco followed up BYU's 1984 National Championship with an 11-2 campaign, but OSU squeaked out a 10-7 win.
OSU won the 1993 Holiday Bowl, 28-21, despite John Walsh passing for 389 yards (BYU gave up 330 on the ground to the Buckeyes).
While OSU's spot at #2 on this list was helped in part to contributor Matt Brown's status with the Buckeyes, there is a strong desire for many BYU fans to avenge these losses. Also, the two losses to Urban Meyer in 2003-04 certainly come into play.
The top vote-getter currently has a lightning-rod of a quarterback and past games against BYU in two of the Cougars' most historic seasons.......
BYU shares three past games with A&M, holding a 2-1 advantage over the boys from College Station. The Aggies famously destroyed BYU 65-14 in the 1990 Holiday Bowl, congratulating Ty Detmer on his newly-won Heisman by separating both of his shoulders.
In another historic game, BYU outlasted A&M and avenged the '90 loss with a 41-37 home win to open what would become a historic 1996 season -- a 14-1 campaign that finished at #5 in the polls.
Revisiting famous games and bowls from BYU's past would be fun, but so would seeing the Cougars play at Kyle Field. A&M would be a school worth playing in a 2-for-1.
Below is how the full ballot played out. Who would you like to see BYU play?

Sometimes I feel like a mad scientist as I play around with things in the kitchen. I gave this one a few tries until I was happy. I originally tried this using filo dough….I didn't like the results so I changed it to puff pastries. Easier to work with and tastes delicious too. These would be a perfect accompaniment to your cup of tea or coffee. These are low in sugar but you can always use "real" sugar to make yours too.
What You Need
1 Cup granulated sugar substitute ( or regular sugar)
1/4 Cup sugar (optional)
3 Tbsp. corn starch
3 Tbsp. Gelatin powder
2 1/2 Cups milk
1/4 tsp. Vanilla
3 Egg yolks, lightly beaten (set whites aside)
3 Tbsp. fresh lemon zest (extra for garnish, optional)
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 Cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter (softened-room temperature)
I Package ( 6) puff pastry shells (from your local bakery, or markets freezer section)
Cling wrap
Basting brush
3 Mixing bowls
Electric Mixer
whipped topping ( optional)
Before You Start: Prepare puff pastries according to directions ( use basting brush to brush pastries with egg whites before baking) .When they are gold brown let cool and then cut out the centers. Do not cut through to the bottoms. Set aside for filling later. Note-This recipe requires refrigeration prior to serving.
Lets Make It! In a mixing bowl combine sugar substitute, ( sugar), butter, salt , corn starch and gelatin and mix well with electric mixer on medium high speed until well blended. In another bowl combine milk, vanilla, egg yolks, zest, and salt and whisk until smooth. Add wet ingredients into dry ingredients slowly, beating on low speed until well incorporated. Pour the whole mixture into a saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, cook for about 15 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat and pour into a deep dish or bowl and cover with cling wrap. Make sure the cling wrap touches the surface of the lemon filling; this will keep it from developing a skin. When cooled and thickened (about 2 hours) Scoop into cups,. if desired add a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with a bit of lemon zest to serve.

I am getting ready to embark on a month long elimination diet with my family to remove dairy, soy, gluten, and eggs from our family's diet. My husband has suffered life long skin and joint issues. My son suffers from similar skin issues, as well as sleep issues and some hyperactivity. And now my newborn is showing signs of the same skin issues, as well as extreme gas and fussing. Basically, everyone in the house could possibly benefit from identifying foods we shouldn't eat. I've done a lot of reading, and have planned out a two week menu (that I can cycle again). I'm the kind of person who needs a plan for this to be successfully done. But my hitch is snacks. I like to snack, and as a nursing mama, I need to have snacks around.
Do y'all have snack ideas? Really, I'm stumped. The cookbooks I've found mostly cover dinners, and meals. I just need ideas of what I can grab when I'm hungry in the afternoon that goes beyond carrot sticks and peanut butter (which, btw, we buy just the freshly ground peanuts). I know that soy and dairy are lurkers, but any ideas. be they off the shelf safe snacks and brands, or things I can make ahead of time to have on hand, would be most appreciated!!

sarahmaclean: My annual list of the ten best stocking gifts for writers is up! This year, my favorite is #4: Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies. This is serious gift giving gold for a writer. In the 1970s, Brian Eno (of music and crossword puzzle fame), created a deck of creative prompts, many of them bizarre and unclear, and many of them absolutely perfect for changing up a character or a plot. When I'm stuck, I turn to them. My favorite is: State the problem in words as simply as possible.You can get your own deck from Eno himself. Fair warning, at £30, this is a little more expensive than your average stocking gift, but I swear your writer will love it. More at the blog! sarahmaclean tumblrgiftguide

I cannot believe people had trouble with this recipe. When you have trouble rising, make sure your yeast is active, and make sure it's rising in a warm place.
This is the best sweet bread I have ever had. My family begged for it. I made one version just like the recipe, then another for my Mother with no candied fruit (she hates that stuff. She ate her entire loaf in less than a week. I don't eat a lot of sweets, and even made the best bread pudding I've ever had out of leftovers. It's easy to make --- I didn't have a mold so used two loaf pans. It was still beautiful, but I had to watch the baking to make sure it got done. Dont miss out on this incredible Triestine because some had trouble with it! I found it easy!!!

This recipe should be rated for "intermediate pastry chefs" or "very experienced home cooks", that said, this is a bread to lust after. This is an expensive bread to make, but worth the expense. I think the other thing about this recipe is that unless you don't follow the recipe and rising times carefully, you will be unhappy. The crust and crumb are delicious! The powered sugar is almost like candy on the almonds. I am not fond of citron but I like it in this bread. Try it toasted, with butter! This is definitely for a special occasion or to give as a gift. I have never seen it at a Bakery in the U.S. so the only way to get it is to make it, or get it as a gift.
I am really disappointed. I wanted to make this for Christmas gifts and even ordered the paper molds on the internet. In addition, the ingredients are not cheap. I spend an entire Sunday on this project and the final two rising just did not rise. I would love to know what I did wrong!

After 18 months as interim dean, John Bartle has permanently taken the helm of the University of Nebraska at Omaha's College of Public Affairs and Community Service.
Bartle, a UNO faculty member since 1994, was named the college's dean after a nationwide search to replace former dean B.J. Reed, who was promoted to senior vice chancellor of academic affairs in 2011.
Bartle is the fifth dean of the college, established in 1972.
UNO's is the only college of public affairs in Nebraska, offering degrees and research in an array of government-related fields, such as public administration, social work, gerontology and emergency management, among them.
Bartle holds a doctorate in public policy and management from Ohio State University. He holds a master's degree from the University of Texas and a bachelor's degree from Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania.

Seven University of Nebraska-Lincoln faculty members recently were tapped for endowed professorships. They were recognized Sunday at UNL's Honors Convocation.
Evgeny Tsymbal was named George W. Holmes professor of physics and astronomy, which carries a $15,000 stipend. A faculty member since 2002, Tsymbal is director of the Materials Research Science and Engineering Center.
Donald Becker, a faculty member since 2003, was named Charles Bessey professor of biochemistry. He is director and founding member of the Redox Biology Center.
Hong Jiang, associated with UNL since 1991, was named Willa Cather professor of computer science and engineering. He is former vice chairman of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering.
The Bessey and Cather professorships include a $5,000 stipend.
Joy Castro, Myra Cohen, Steven Ramsay and Jay Storz were named Susan J. Rosowski associate professors, in a program that recognizes faculty who show promise for future excellence. The Rosowski professorships include $3,000 stipends.
ISU economist honored for helping farmers
Iowa State University agricultural economist Mike Duffy has been given the Distinguished Service Award by the American Agricultural Editors Association.
He is being recognized for helping beginning farmers and for aiding in the transition of farms from one generation to the next.
Duffy was director of Iowa State's Beginning Farmer Center from its inception in 1994 until the end of last year. He has coordinated the annual Iowa State farm land value survey for 27 years and conducts the Iowa Land Ownership survey.
He joined Iowa State in 1984 as an extension farm management field specialist and joined the economics faculty in 1985.
"Mike's expertise and management has been influential not only in Iowa but also to farm families nationwide in thinking differently and smartly about inheritance, succession and retirement," said Dan Zinkand, an agricultural journalist and American Agricultural Editors Association member who helped nominate Duffy.
Computer glitch work earns prof a grant
A University of Nebraska-Lincoln computer scientist recently was awarded a five-year, $500,000 grant for her research to prevent the computer glitches that arise in programs.
Anita Sarma, assistant professor of computer science and engineering, received the Early Career Development Program Award from the National Science Foundation, which supports promising pre-tenure faculty.
"Most software projects go over budget and overtime, and that is largely due to coordination problems," Sarma said.
For example, Microsoft's 2007 Vista operating system was developed by thousands of programmers in 22 countries and had more than 50 million lines of computer code instructions.
Delays and defects arise when programmers are unaware of what others have done, or when code is merged into one program. Using data mining techniques, Sarma analyzes existing code to identify and predict conflicts between programming tasks. She aims to develop software guiding programmers to tasks that don't conflict with others, with continual updates as programmers start and finish tasks.
Sarma's award also will help her develop curriculum to help high school and college students learn to collaborate effectively.

Cheap and quick, brilliant service. What more can you ask for?
I have now made three separate purchases from Digital Rev, each of which was over £1000, and I have nothing bad to say about them! Their prices are ridiculously cheap, and their shipping is unbelievably quick! Each time my order arrived within 3 days, which is better than most of the camera equipment I have ordered from UK suppliers. I will be buying all of my equipment from them as long as their prices are this good, and I highly recommend them to anyone else.

I have a confession to make. I am a yard sale junkie! I go to yard sales almost every Saturday morning and I always come home with something. This photo was taken last Friday at a yard sale that was on HWY US11 in Tn. It went for miles and lastest several days. I made it home with some cool stuff including the Beatles Abbey Road album in great shape. I have seen many unusual things at yard sales,but i have never seen wedding dresses in a tree. The veils and shoes were an added bonus. This just amused me. I did not have any of my "big guns" with me,but I always carry a point and shoot Polaroid that takes 35mm film(a $2 thrift store find). Unfortunately, I was out of film,as I had taken tons of photos earlier in the day at other sales. I just had to have a photo of the dresses so i used my camera phone.Thought i would share it.

Hulu, Netflix, or Amazon prime?
Out of hulu, Netflix, or Amazon Prime, which is better? Selection of movies/tv shows, price, etc.
Btw, i have a kindle fire, if that matters any.
Netflix shows the same crap over and over I'm not too sure about amazon prime
I have and like Netflix. Those other streaming sites still make you watch ads and buffer way too often. I'ven never really had that problem and when you do, they are quick to fix the problem. You also have access to movies and tv shows old and new. The price is reasonable.
Amazon Prime, unless young kids will be using it, then both netflix and amazon prime.

Robbi-Layne Robertson
I found yoga while on a trip to India, for a friends wedding. I really enjoyed the "doing/activity" of yoga and felt great after, both in my body and mind. The inner peace that comes from practicing is what keeps me coming back to the mat. The physical benefits of yoga; strength, balance, flexibility & focus support all my other sports and outdoor activities.
Yoga has become a means for me to share through and apply my years of academics, teaching skills, love of activity, propensity for play, counselling and communication training to create opportunities for fun non-competitive, social, emotional, physical learning and exploration.
Franklin Schryver
It was 1982 when I first discovered Iyengar yoga. My knees were shot from jogging, my back ached constantly. I knew I needed a dramatic change. Somewhat skeptically, I enrolled in an Iyengar class. Soon, my once a week practice become three, then four, and finally a daily part of my life. What had begun as simply a desire to feel healthier and more flexible became a lifelong commitment. Teaching was my next, natural step.
After a two-year apprenticeship under Wende Davis in Vancouver, I travelled to India to study directly under Gita Iyengar. It was the most intensive, challenging month of my life and reaffirmed my desire to teach others. In 1993, I opened the North Shore's first yoga studio while continuing my own personal studies both throughout North America and on a return visit to India.
More than any other form of yoga, Iyengar yoga incorporates a diverse range of props — including belts, blocks, even chairs — allowing students at all levels to more easily perform the yogic postures correctly. As their strength and flexibility increase, this use of props is constantly modified to respect individual limits while encouraging each student to continually push beyond personal limits.
When I began Iynegar yoga, learning opportunities were limited. Today I am delighted to be teaching here at Om Prem, helping students of all ages and abilities to experience the joy and freedom this ancient art brings.
Randi Bradshaw
I am a Registered Therapeutic Yoga Teacher (RYT) and Holistic Nutritionist (RHN). I also hold a Bachelor of Science (BSc.) in Biology and Psychology from McMaster University. After years of working as a research chemist in the Pharmaceutical Industry, I grew tired of the reactionary approach of the allopathic health field. It was then that I decided to switch my focus to health promotion and disease prevention to help people live a healthy and active life, free from a dependency on medication where possible. This holistic way of living is intended to empower people with the knowledge of how whole foods and mindful movement can sustain a healthy and whole body.
Kim Boyd
After many years of athletics and various ongoing injuries, yoga found me one day when I witnessed a woman practicing poolside. Her strong, agile body and flowing movement set my eventual union with yoga in motion. I love that yoga helps bring me into balance. It's the food that fuels my soul and gives my mind and body a connection to something more than my physical form. It is my breath. I've explored many forms since I began to practice, and I primarily teach Vinyasa Flow, and Power Yoga, allowing, not forcing, with mindful movement and breath, I seek to provide an environment for students to explore their inner source of power, goodness and strength, unleashing the unlimited potential within. I like to encourage an attitude of relaxed resilience. And I love seeing my students transform as they blossom in their self-discovery.
Jayne Lloyd-Jones
Kathleen Ross
Kathleen began practicing yoga about 30 years ago while still a student. She's studied many styles over the years with dozens of inspirational teachers and is delighted to find more people discovering how yoga rejuvenates mind, body and spirit. Her supportive teaching style leads students through a moving meditation using smooth transitions between postures with focus on the breath. An avid outdoor enthusiast, Kathleen enjoys hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing and skiing and relies on yoga to keep her body strong, flexible and injury free. Kathleen has taught first timers to well seasoned yogis in a variety of settings locally and internationally and looks forward to meeting new students and participating in their yoga journey. One of her favourite quotes is "If you find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn't lead anywhere".
Sandra Negrin
You will not be bored in Sandra's hatha and flow classes.

Through clear instruction, Sandra focuses on a solid foundation for each posture, body alignment and core strength. Sandra believes that life is an exploration in balance – strength and ease, energy and relaxation and hard work and play. Sandra invites you to practice yoga and find pleasure in your pursuit of balance.
Rochelle Quarry
In times of both ease and crisis yoga grounds me. In the past I sought to find completeness, purpose and affirmation in my life through external means. What I am discovering through my practice is that these qualities can only be fulfilled from within and each and every one of us is capable of exposing this contentment.
I believe that the practice of yoga is a cycle of evolution, refinement and transformation. Each day we bring a new perspective to our mats. I offer you a chance to be introspective and explore your inner world through movement and breath awareness. My classes provide a light-hearted, safe, supportive, inclusive space for practitioners of all levels. As a community we will accompany each other on our personal journeys, practice with the fearless vulnerability of a beginner's mind, attempt new depths, and laugh at ourselves if we need to, and be present to connect to the bigger picture, seeing the world for all its abundance.
Tim Cyr
Healing begins with, and at, the heart and by connecting heart energy and the beautiful ancient art of yoga, Tim utilizes the connections of energy, restoration and meditation to bring balance to mind-body-spirit. Trained in Reiki, mediation, reflexology, Ho'omanaloa (Hawaiian energy healing), restorative / yin / classic hatha / laughter / kids / prenatal (and ever growing) styles of yoga… Tim's connection to healing allows and invites a deeper relationship of one's personal growth and wholeness in the practice of simply "living life"… simply.
Atta's journey in yoga started over 20 years ago as part of a preparation course for a meditation retreat and he's been a student of yoga since. His passion for leadership development and better understanding of the human potential led him on a self-developmental journey that resulted in studying coaching through the Integral Coaching Canada® where he received his professional coaching certificate. With a deep desire to serve the community he lives in, and with the support of yogis and yoginis within the community, he founded Om Prem Yoga Studio in the Spring of 2012.
Atta offers Restorative, Gentle Hatha, Purna and classical Hatha (alignment base) classes. He also offers one-on-one and group coaching in the studio, clients' offices (for executive coaching clients only) and via the Internet anywhere in the world in English or Persian. If you want help and support on an aspect of your self-development I'd love to join forces with you in expediting your development.
Sandi Spear
Throughout my life, I have found my true happiness while in the mountains. My whole life changed when I was in a serious accident. Due to injuries, I lost my strength, energy and spirit. In Vancouver someone suggested taking yoga to work on my recovery. Right away I knew I had found a way to move forward in a positive direction. The more I learned the more I wanted to share with others the importance of movement, balance, and the breath.
All my classes start with a connection of the body and mind. While teaching I work on establishing a solid foundation, correct alignment, and the exploration of movement while emphasizing the importance of breath and the calmness of the mind.
Cielo English
What can students expect from your class? Expect to be guided with encouragement to move and be in the most authentic place in yourself. What I wish to give is a supportive environment for you to unfold safely, patiently, brilliantly, beautifully. I love creative flows, therapeutic alignment, skillful action, and the simplicity of movement and breath. Expect to dig deep, be challenged, & expect the unexpected.
Why Yoga? I love that I will always be at the beginning of something new. Yoga consistently reveals to me layers of being that inspire many facets of my life and settles me into a balanced place that feels like home. I love opening to possibility, & the creativity and freedom of spirit that we reveal through our practice.
Inspirations: Knowing the truth of my own transformations, and witnessing the unfolding of teachers and students around me. Mostly, I'm inspired by sharing an amazing life with my family and being in awe of all my many blessings.

Anglo-American critics' recent attempts to analyse the perspectives of Pakistan offered by its contemporary fiction authors in English — my own included — have tended to focus on exploring how, in Amit Chaudhuri's words: "Pakistani writers are interestingly poised: implicated in both the unfolding and the unravelling of our age". That is, the age of capitalist meltdown, supposed civilisational clash and the global 'war-on-terror'. In Contemporary Pakistani Fiction in English: Idea, Nation, State Cara Cilano, Professor of English at the University of North Carolina Wilmington in the United States, returns her readers' attentions to the national implications of Pakistani English narratives.
In choosing to focus exclusively on Anglophone Pakistani fiction, Cilano picks up the baton from Tariq Rahman, whose A History of Pakistani Literature in English (1991) has been the sole attempt to present a comprehensive overview of the subject. However, Cilano asserts that her "contribution maintains a strong interest in history but diverges from Rahman's project in how it envisions the connection between historical events and literary narratives". As she stresses in chapter one, her emphasis is on exploring how "contemporary" (mid-20th to early 21st century) Anglophone Pakistani fictions convey a sense of "what happened" at certain times in Pakistan's history, rather than "continuing to focus intently" on what they may tell us about "why" specific events took place. Rather than "finding fault" with Pakistani English writing's apparent lack of direct, political engagement and "failure to fictionalise" supposedly identity-shaping moments in the nation's history (as Rahman does), Cilano focuses on how the narratives she examines choose to represent certain occurrences or eras, such as Partition or the decade of Zia's "Islamisation". She endeavours to explore the ways in which these literary texts "imaginatively probe the past, convey the present, and project a future in terms that facilitate a sense of collective belonging". The ambivalent perspectives that emerge from reading them exist, she argues, in complex relation to the intersecting notions of Pakistan as "idea, nation, and state," which may "attract or repel" identitarian attachments among the country's diverse constituents.
Cilano's study spans the period from 1947 to the present, and is divided into four parts. The first, 'Idea to Nation,' focuses on India's Partition and the Bangladesh war as key moments in the country's creation and re-conception. It considers how fictions by such founding authors as Khushwant Singh, Mumtaz Shah Nawaz, and Bapsi Sidhwa, as well as other less celebrated and younger writers, such as Mehr Masroor, Moni Mohsin, Sorayya Khan, and Saad Ashraf, illuminate a range of attitudes — nostalgic, optimistic, cynical, compliant, passive, and resistant — to unequal experiences of "belonging" in East and West Pakistan during its strained transition from colony and anti-colonial concept to postcolonial nation.
The second part examines notions of Pakistan as 'Islamic Nation? Islamic State?' through the historical novels of Tariq Ali, which explore Islamic syncretism before the birth of Pakistan, and through the fictions produced by a generation of writers who came of age largely in the Zia years, including Mohammed Hanif, Uzma Aslam Khan, Ali Sethi and Kamila Shamsie. In considering works by this younger group, such as Shamsie's Broken Verses (2005), and Hanif's A Case of Exploding Mangoes (2008), Cilano makes a particularly persuasive claim that their inquisitive narrators, often spurred by a desire to unravel "official" conspiracies, "challenge the dominant definitions of the 'good Muslim' along significantly gendered, indeed, outright queer lines" thus collectively reimagining "a more inclusive nation".
'Multicultural Nation, Privileged State,' the book's third section, involves a more grounded consideration of how novels set in Karachi — characterised by Cilano both as a pre-Partition space of religo-cultural diversity, and mythic "safe haven" for Muslim migrants who sought to "re-establish their lives" in the "nascent" postcolonial nation — "identify new terms with which to articulate belonging both to the city and the nation" that "rely heavily on the concept of mobility". Yet, as she demonstrates, they also reveal the potency of a "nostalgic stuckness" in an idealised, syncretic past, which would challenge the cohesiveness of such "modern" visions. Her readings of Maniza Naqvi's 2008 novel A Matter of Detail are particularly perceptive in this regard. Turning away from Karachi, Cilano focuses in section three's latter half on an examination of the debut novels and short stories of Nadeem Aslam, Mohsin Hamid and Daniyal Mueenuddin. She argues that their novels "locate" neither the sprawling megalopolis, where new flexible modes of belonging within Pakistan may be (self-) made; nor the bureaucratic and legal structures of state; but rather the "feudal" zamindari class (whether city-dwelling or rural) as the "affective centre" of the state. Nevertheless, Cilano's imaginative analyses show that such literary fictions also can identify weak spots. She suggests that they demonstrate how the zamindar's seemingly all-pervasive authority may be subverted through the use of excessive language or "gossip," and may even offer up a "voice railing against injustice and corruption [that] can serve as an alternative affective centre".
The final part of Cilano's study focuses on those post-9/11 "migrant" fictions by Aslam, Hamid, Shamsie and H. M. Naqvi such as The Reluctant Fundamentalist (2007), with which readers in the West are likely to be most familiar. These narratives, which unfold largely in spaces beyond Pakistan, such as America and Afghanistan, are included because, the author asserts, they "amplify and complicate their characters' relation to collective national attachments and to the workings of state," and "variously assert revised definitions of the nation or attempt to reach beyond that concept's definition parameters" to other, global, human identities.
