Ford Productions presents the inaugural What the Folk Music Festival on April 11th from 5pm-10pm and April 12th from 11am-10pm at Sewee Outpost located at 4853 US Hwy. 17 in Awendaw, SC. The two day music festival features Todd Snider headlining both nights as well as other bands performing such as The Bottle Rockets, Charlie Mars, Pierce Edens & the Dirty Work, Megan Jean & the KFB, Swamp Candy, Vinegar Creek Constituency, Sierra Elizabeth Ferrell, Doug Jones, Ryan Bonner and a few more surprise guests! Food trucks The Big Southern and Lowcountry Creole will be there along with two beer trucks with the local brews including Palmetto Brewery. Available through Stranger Tickets, admission is $25 on Friday, $35 on Saturday or $50 for limited two day pass. Additionally, camping is available for $20.
"What the Folk Festival was formed through a friendship with Todd Snider and his love of playing in this area. The lineup includes musicians that come close to emulating what Todd does as a singer/songwriter," said festival organizer Brett Ford. "As we plan to make this an annual event, my goal is to continue to have Americana type groups play and get recognized for what they do, since the majority of them don't receive the radio play or media recognition that they deserve."
A portion of proceeds will benefit Carolina Studios, a non-profit that provides at risk students a safe environment to foster creative, educational and career-focusesd initiatives through music technology and media arts.

Life letting you down? Mood down in your boots? Reach for the skies at the dizzy heights of Branscombe Airfield and Camping, where the sea views and soaring aircraft overhead will have you up and running again before you can say 'Lift off'.
The site has its own private airstrip, but you might not even notice the resident aircraft and the planes swooping down once you see your surroundings: Branscombe Airfield is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Lyme Bay, right on the World Heritage Site Jurassic Coast overlooking Branscombe village.
Spacious level pitches are available with or without electric hook-up, and the facilities will have spirits soaring: clean loos and showers, a washing up area and a launderette with washing machine and tumble drier.

This is a quiet and family-run site – so bring along a real ale from Branscombe Brewery and take in the scenery, do some different Devon surfing with the internet access on site, or bring the kids along to be properly bouncy on the trampoline in the play area. But remember to play nice and let the littler folk have their turn too…

- Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Fry the bacon pieces in an ovenproof pan or casserole dish for 3-5 mins until golden and crisp. Stir in the onion and butter and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Tip in the rice and mix well until coated. Pour over the wine if using and cook for 2 mins until absorbed.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and the hot stock, then give the rice a quick stir. Cover with a tightly fitting lid and bake for 18 mins until just cooked. Stir through most of the Parmesan and serve sprinkled with the remainder.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, September 2005
Comments, questions and tips
Lovely dish! I swapped the tomatoes for leeks and added garlic, and it was delicious! One problem though was the chicken stock -I used the right amount of cubes to get 700ml of stock, but found it dominated the dish. Next time I'll make it a bit weaker - or try fresh stock. But I definitley will be making it again.
Just made this for tea and loved it! I wasn't sure I could fry in the casserole dish I was using so I stir fried chicken/salami/onion and courgette in a small pan then added to the rice/stock/wine and chucked in a cup of frozen peas and sweetcorn. Cooked for 40 mins as the casserole dish was cold when I put it all in and worked perfectly. Very easy, lovely and creamy - would make 2/3 of the recipe amount next time though as this was too much for 2 with all the extra bits I threw in. Great recipe, thanks!

5.0 starson by wilsong17Pros: Pressure-sensitive stylus with several drawing and note-taking apps. Split-screen function. IR remote. Fast processor.expandable memory.MULTITASK no lag
the S- pen writers, drawers and reader will LOVE ITCons: Low-res screen at this price level i really dont care about resolution.
; Plastic design GET A DAM COVER JESUSSummary: I didn't buy mine from Amazon as I couldn't find it on Amazon. I ended up going to my local BestBuy to pick it up. The reviews online were mostly okay except for The Verge which said it was sluggish and basically was down beat on it.
I decided to buy it and if I didn't like it I would be returning it. I picked it up around 5:30PM on the 16th of August which is the release date. The first thing I did was get rid of all the widgets that are on the home screens. I suspect those might slow it down. I kept only one widget which is the clock / weather widget. I then downloaded all my favorite apps and began to arrange and configure it the way I wanted it.
It comes with Polaris Office, which is better than QuickOffice if you plan to create and edit word docs, Polaris is easier. To view documents and complex excel sheets I find QuickOffice often does the better job. I ed up keep both installed just in case.
I installed 14 games on it. All of which perform very well. There are my favorites, like FieldRunners, and newer ones like Final Fantasy, Ski Safari, Nova 3, Osmos HD, Amazing Alex and Zynga poker that I also really like. This quad core eats through anything with ease.
Got the latest Google Maps, which is so fantastic on this. You can save a Map so it's available without a data connection. Perfect for these WiFi devices. I'm a fan of the new Google Play movies, music, books and Magazines too. But if you prefer Amazon or Nook, those are available as always. It comes with the B&N Nook Reader by default.
There are Galaxy Note 10.1 specific apps like Adobe's PS Touch. I've been using Photoshop since 1996 so I am going to carefully review the built in lessons for PS Touch, a mobile version of Photoshop and see how far I can take that. If you are a subscriber to Adobe's Cloud services you're supposed to be able to edit a PSD with PS Touch, save it to the cloud, and then continue to edit it with Photoshop the desktop app.
There is also S Note. S Note and PS Touch are geared to work well with the new Samsung Galaxy S Pen. This was a primary reason for me to be interested in this particular tablet. The S Pen is so accurate that you can hand write whole sheets of handwritten text with it. I didn't try to have it translated into actual text like type written text. I just left it as my handwriting. Really like it.
Now this new Note 10.1 also has a new Muli-tasking feature. I should say that it doesn't multitask any app combo you want. Just a few apps blessed by Samsung which are: The base browser, not Chrome, their video player, Polaris Office, the picture gallery and their email app, not the GMail email app. Their email app can be used with POP, IMAP and Microsoft's Exchange via the built in Active Sync. So I tend to use that email client for work email and I use GMail as my personal email client.
Now, according to The Verge, multitasking was horrible. Not so fast Verge. I don't know what you guys are doing but I multitask'd just about every way you can on this and it works surprising well. I wrote notes while playing video. I played video while scrolling up and down on a web page. I copied text from an email to S Note, which both apps loaded in the side by side both on the screen simultaneously method. I had no trouble at all.
I bought Autodesk's Sketchpad Pro and can draw with that just fine. I also bought Adobe Ideas, but haven't yet played with that at all. Samsung also has their own kind of store and I am going to see if they have more S Pen specific apps. Really like the S Pen a lot. It's exactly like a typical Wacom Stylus. It's sharp, not that horrible eraser head large stylus you get stuck with if you want to use a stylus on the iPad. Although the iPad has Paper by 53, which I wish I had on here.
I'm really just getting started. I'll have to update this review over the weekend. Only played with this new tab for about 4 to 6 hours now.
Check out Google's Currents for news, and Pocket for saving articles for future reading. Both are great on this tablet. I think all the bases are covered with this tablet. Movies, games, magazines, office and productivity, art creation and editing. It does everything. And since it is Android, you have a real file system which makes email a breeze. Love this thing so far.

Because I don't have kids I'm re-amazed each June at the number of invitations stuffed into our mailbox by the postman … er, postperson … for high school graduation parties. It's a big deal now, I guess. I don't remember having any kind of parent-endorsed or sponsored event for family, relatives and friends. My folks were of the "graduating high school is the least that's expected of you, now get to work" school of thought.
Now my buddies and I might have had a party out at Long Lake with some beverages since the legal drinking age in Wisconsin in those days was 18, but that was just foolishness of youth stuff. No harm done.
My mom was good at saving mementos of my high school years, and the other day I rediscovered a box with a bunch of that stuff in the crawl space at home. The old term papers for English classes still make me chuckle now. There's one titled "A to Z of Duck Hunting". Another is "Fit for the Firing Line: A Physical Conditioning Guide for the Trap Shooter." Still another is: "History of the Ringneck Pheasant in Wisconsin". There's even an attempt at poetry titled "From Whence the Mallards Came." My English teachers were long-suffering yet unwaveringly encouraging.
Another great high school memory was of Junior Prom night. Both I and my buddy Ken Fritz were turned down by the girls we asked. So instead of bearing the brunt of likely additional rejection by asking somebody else, he and I went smelt dipping on the Pigeon River tributary to Lake Michigan. It ended up costing a lot less money, and I'm guessing we had every bit as much fun as those guys in rented monkey suits – probably more.
Though I've been away from my hometown for more than 30 years now, I still have a strong connection to Plymouth Comprehensive High School. My brother is the District Business Manager there. The other day I was floating around their website looking for some controversial labor relations issue my brother had mentioned and found an on-line version of "The Orange Guide" which has always been the Plymouth High School student handbook. (Plymouth's colors are orange and black and the mascot is the panther.)
On a whim, I decided to see if what I remembered most about "The Orange Guide" was still there. Almost unbelievably it is! On page 28 is the prescribed procedure for ensuring that your deer hunt is an "excused absence."
I'm certain a lot else has changed. For example, I doubt I could do a sophomore demonstration speech on cleaning a .22 rimfire rifle at a table in front of the classroom. Or repeat my junior demonstration of cleaning trout for which my mom delivered a 5-gallon bucket containing 3 live rainbows from the hatchery where I worked summers and weekends.
Ah … great high school memories … congrats to all you grads, but don't be surprised if I skip your parties for bear hunting or fishing … nothing personal … just a heck of a lot more fun.

Huntington, Ind.—As Spring Break approaches and most university students look forward to nothing more than a little fun in the sun, more than 70 Huntington College students will travel to various parts of the world to lend a helping hand and make a difference in people's lives. Each year, Huntington College's Joe Mertz Center for Volunteer Service offers service-learning trips in the United States and abroad, encouraging students to impact their world for Christ. During this year's Spring Break from March 15-23, students will travel to Boston, Mass., Jacksonville, Fla., Arizona, Haiti and Belize.
"Huntington College is committed to developing the whole person, teaching them how to impact their world for Christ," said Interim Vice President and Academic Dean of Huntington College, Norris Friesen. "Spring Break trips offer students a unique opportunity not only to do some much needed work for others, but to give the students a glimpse into different cultures. The greatest advantage, though, is serving together with other Christians to help spread the good news of the gospel through words and actions."
Friesen will lead a group of 16 students to Belize. While there, they will work at a boy's school, providing basic maintenance during the mornings. In the afternoon and evenings, they will help with a church plant in Belize City by offering a Bible School.
This marks Friesen's ninth trip to the Caribbean on a spring break project with a group of Huntington students. "It really is amazing to work along side other Christians and see how God is working in their part of the world. The poverty is shocking and yet the love of God shines through in incredible ways. It is never easy to leave a place like this after one week. The need is so great and the kids are so hungry for attention. It is indeed a privilege to share the love of Christ with these kids."
Students participating in the trip include:
· Elizabeth Adams
· Diana Ashley
· Joy Bamford
· Amanda Carr
· Lisa Collar
· Lesley Echelbarger
· Erin Groth
· John Key
· Josh Nash
· Lauren Powell
· Ashlee Reed

The Boston, Mass., team, led by Joanne Miller, Adviser to the Joe Mertz Center, will help with various physical labor projects, provide assistance at a shelter and evangelize to various parts of Boston. Students on the Boston team include:
· Nigel Berry
· Amanda Brody
· Lauren Hines
· Jared Risser

The Haiti team will assist local missionaries in building a new orphanage and working in mountain gardens. The students will also observe medical missions, international education, children's ministries, street ministries, community development, appropriate technology and environmental programs and other mission-related areas.
"This trip will provide several occasions to meet and learn about many different missionaries serving in Haiti in a variety of capacities," said trip lead Matt Webb. "It's an opportunity to not only put hands to our faith, but to see that whether we are teachers, businessmen, farmers, mechanics, youth pastors, nurses or computer engineers, God can use any gift that we have if we will make ourselves available to Him." Webb and Carlene Peters, who will also lead the trip, both work in the Admissions Office at Huntington College. The members of the group to Haiti include the Student Admission Staff on campus:
· Lynda Barnum
· Heather Beck
· Renae Flora
· Mike Matura
· Nate C. Reusser
· David Rice
· Jonny Rice
· Dana Siferd
· Elizabeth Wood
· Tannen Peters

It's not every day that a performer spikes his show with a yodel or two. But a quick glance at the bio of self-proclaimed "Dirty Old One Man Band" hillbilly/blues/country/punk artist Scott H. Biram reveals he's no run-of-the-mill troubadour. He released his first album in 2000. But it was his '03 recording, Rehabilitation Blues EP. — made while he was bedridden following a head-on collision with a tractor-trailer — that cemented his staying power. He returns to the Grey Eagle on Thursday, Jan. 31, with Black Eyed Vermillion and Whiskeydick. 9pm. $10/$12. http://www.thegreyeagle.com.

Giant Step's Resident: The City, The Sounds, The Soul Part 12
April 23rd, 2008Photo of 9th Wonder
By Mawuse Ziegbe
I watch way too much Sex and the City. I used to have a two-episode-per-day habit that I've whittled down to a more sensible once-every-few-days dependency. Luckily, my irises haven't dissolved into jelly. But one thing I've picked up from the show is that sometimes the glamorous New York life is hit or miss. Sometimes you lose your Manolos at a self-absorbed photographer's baby shower. Sometimes your boyfriend dumps you on a Post-It. This week was a whole apple cart of "meh."
On Friday, I checked out Design of the Elastic Mind at MoMa which was in many ways fantastic. Some of the world's most skilled nerdlingers rigged up systems that create furniture from free-hand drawings and conceptualized artificial body parts that can be used as mementos. But I guess I'm just too plebian to appreciate Color Chart: Reinventing Color to 1950, MoMa's survey of the transitional use of color in the 20th century. As someone who freebases pop culture, I was pretty jazzed to see Andy Warhol's iconic series of Marilyn Monroe silk-screens in poppy hues. There were nods to the color bible Pantone and several artists who re-imagined color in contemporary art. But mostly I just felt like I was looking at paint swatches. The exhibit was not unlike a weekend trip to your neighborhood Sherwin-Williams.
Saturday night, 9th Wonder manned the decks at the West Village's creepiest bar, Love. (With underground caves and an in-house waterfall connected to an unfinished basement, that bar is downright goofy). 9th Wonder took to the DJ set like your moody older brother giving you a lesson on "real hip hop." The ex-Little Brother beatmaker played timeless tracks like Nas' "NY State Of Mind" and Gangstarr's "Dwyck." Now while these songs are arguably the hallmarks of great hip hop, 9th relentlessly pushed gritty, grainy head-nodders with no regards to our feets. I wanted to dance but the set just brought out the moody, backpacking teenager in me. It was a great set because not many DJs unleash that many DJ Premier hits with lusty abandon. But it wasn't so great because I didn't get to use my dancin' shoes.
Sunday, I went back on the art kick with the Takashi Murakami exhibit at Brooklyn Museum. I liked how he made those staid Louis Vuitton bags all purdy-like usin' all them clown colors and I liked the demonic co-ed cub he made for Kanye's Graduation album art. However, an entire wing plastered with Murakami quickly went from inspiring to overwhelming. The benign (bouncy, animated daisies) gave way to the strange (hypersexualized Anime characters engulfed by spirals of projectile sperm) which gave way to the horrifying (said daisies snarling in angst) which gave way to a mild headache. More than anything, I appreciated Murakami's ability to conflate the realms of fine art and mass culture and basically create a shopping frenzy for stickers of drooling cartoon bears.
The week had its moments but it was mostly chock full of blah. But if I was a fictional columnist who lived on the Upper East Side and spent 40 percent of my income on Jimmy Choos, I would just have a Cosmo and look forward to next week's misadventures. So, cheers.

The Herald Sun reports that Swimming Australia's board of directors had decided to fire Nugent last Thursday, and informed him of the decision yesterday. Nugent had been the leader of Swimming Australia's wet-side operations since 2009, and until the London Games, had found success with his teams at the international level at the Commonwealth Games and world championships.
Nugent is the first major casualty of the two independent reviews released in February that cite a lack of coherent leadership as one reason why team bonding was virtually non-existent in London, and why the antics of the men's 400 free relay caused an even bigger rift, and went unpunished until recently.
The men's relay members, who have admitted to causing problems for team members one night during a pre-Olympic staging camp, are currently under investigation by an integrity panel that will determine their punishment soon.
No word on whether Nugent's position will be filled, or if soon-to-be-appointed high performance director Michael Scott will absorb that role.
Update: Swimming Australia has issued a press release stating that Nugent came to Swimming Australia executives and submitted his resignation, instead of the board of directors firing him.
"In those discussions it soon became very clear that while he still wanted to remain involved in the sport, he didn't want to continue in the position of Head Coach," said Swimming Australia President Barcaly Nettlefold.
"The time is right for me to step aside and let someone else take over. It's been an honour and a privilege to coach the Australian Swim Team at the highest level, and I'm just pleased that I'm able to stay involved in the sport that I love," said Nugent.
An interim head coach will be appointed in the coming days before the start of the Australian nationals/world championship trials on April 26.

Hundreds of restaurants around the city have been fined for not properly displaying their poor health inspection grades.
The city fined more than 1,300 city restaurants over the past year for keeping their grades out of sight.
Fifty-five percent of the restaurants had received the lowest grade of C, while 43 percent earned B grades.
Each one was fined $1,000, though the number cited for hiding the grades actually dropped about 22 percent from the year before.
A $1,000 fine may seem steep, but some restaurants think that's more affordable than the business they would lose by putting a C grade in the window.

In 'supercritical hydrolysis,' a new process for biofuels
PHILADELPHIA--Here in a warehouse comprised of little else besides plywood, steel beams, and concrete, bioindustrial startup Renmatix announced a new process that it says allows it to produce cellulosic sugars--from which some types of biofuel are derived--more cheaply than ever.

Press release
from Pisgah Astronomical Research InstituteAstronomers at the Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute announce that on the morning of November 13 there will be a very subtle penumbral eclipse of the Moon. However, this event will occur after the Moon has set here in the Carolinas and, therefore, will not be visible here.
For those viewing the event from the west coast about 92% of the Moon will be in the Earth's shadow at maximum and that only in the penumbra, the very faint outer part of the shadow. Since this will occur in morning twilight in the west coast, even there this eclipse will not easily be detected with the naked eye. Observers in the western Pacific, the Far East and Australia and New Zealand where the eclipse will occur with the Moon up in a dark sky, will be able to view the eclipse.
What causes an eclipse of the Moon, also called a lunar eclipse? As the Moon orbits the Earth, it comes to Full Moon once every 29½ days. Most months when this happens the Moon passes above or below the Earth's shadow and we don't have an eclipse. But twice per year, roughly six months apart, the Moon can pass through the Earth's shadow. On the morning of November 13 most of the Moon will pass through the bottom of the penumbra of the Earth's shadow.
The next total lunar eclipse visible from the Americas will occur after midnight on the night of April 14-15, 2014. Viewers in the Carolinas will be able to see that eclipse from beginning (12:54 a.m.) to end (6:37 a.m.).

It works well in an office setting
The coffee maker works very well for our 50 employees. We make at least 3 pots per day and it's making great coffee. Very reliable and easy to keep clean. A great improvement from our last coffee make is when we open the lid, the condensation does not flow onto the counter. It has a track that makes it flow back into the reservoir.
By DSch on Home Depot - Mar 7, 2013
lukewarm at best
I bought this coffee maker because I drink my morning coffee about 2-4 hours before my husband drinks his coffee, and I didn't want to make 2 separate pots of coffee. This maker is supposed to keep the coffee hot for up to 4 hours. Sad fact, the coffee NEVER GETS HOT! We tried on several occasions to see if we needed to change something we were doing. Nope, never hot. We went back to our...

BrewStation Summit Ultra 12-Cup Coffee Maker
I am EXTREMLY disappointed in this coffee maker. I purchased this particular one because I loved my first BrewStation so much. The same model I had was not available so I had no choice but to purchase this one. The coffee is not very HOT! Setting it up to make coffee is just messy. Why did you change that feature? It says it makes 12 cups but that's not true. We get 2 less cups from this coffee...

Kieran Behan overload on Irish TV at the moment.
To think that fun is simple fun, while earnest things are earnest, proves all too plain that neither one thou truthfully discernest.
Womens shooting final is intense!! Poland vs China!!! 5 shots to go
Skary Babs: "Today in the original dance some top couples did mistakes...(turns to Maurizio) Maurizio?"
Chinese leads the pole, with a shoot to go.
Im in overload already!! Too much to watch I'm
First Gold Medal to China in the shooting

That was an interesting final for the womens 10m air rifle, China wins the first gold of the games!
Skary Babs: "Today in the original dance some top couples did mistakes...(turns to Maurizio) Maurizio?"
LOL my facebook feed is suddenly full of Olympic Sports mad nuts! Usually these people only comment on football and rugby.
Funniest so far is someone posting this status:
"Women's coxless pairs into the final on Wednesday..beat USA by a good length...come on team GB"
And the reply of:
"I'd like to beat them with a good length"
Most of my female friends are having the eternal dilemma between watching mens gymnastics or men's swimming.
It's going to be a long 2 weeks
Dont Hate! Gyrate!
Another shock, but this time bigger in swimming. Defending Olympic Champion Park Tae Kwan of Korea Disqualified on his preliminary heat of the 400m freestyle!!
In Athens as a rookie he got DSQ, 8 years later and a serious threat for the gold as defending olympic and world champion and gets out
Paul Biedermann did not advance also
China is poised to get the gold medal at the event now, with americans rounding the podium
Skary Babs: "Today in the original dance some top couples did mistakes...(turns to Maurizio) Maurizio?"
Phelps qualifies barely to the 400IM finals in 8 place, he misjudged teh pace of the last heats. Laszlo Cseh is out of the finals.
Park Taehwan one of the favorite for 400mts freestyle is out of the finals, He was DQed in the heats.
I miss Pieter van den Hoogenband
Whats on the revengenda this evening? Nolan Ross
Nice win by the Brit Coxless men in their heat
Right, I need to get away from the TV and PC combo for a bit!
Dont Hate! Gyrate!
Not a good start for our German swimmers, very disappointing.
I like the beach volleyball setiing a lot, and the rowing, oh, and the cycling, wished I tried harder to buy tickets...
And no rain (we have some right now)
Natalie Coughlin looks to have earned a place in the finals of the 4x100 free relay - she had the US's fastest split in the prelims. Wonder if she does well enough in finals as well she'll get people thinking about putting her on the medley relay too.
Crap, Canada had a 12 point lead on Russia in women's basketball except Russia just exploded in the last quarter. Canada collapses and loses we won just 2 games in women's doubles, and rowing is not good save for our pair, but yikes... day 1...
I'm totally nervous for him. Love that Wiggo was carrying bottles. I'm not sure if I'm more nervous about a potential sprint or that there won't be a sprint!
At Phelps barely making it in the 400 IM prelims. That means he and Lochte will not be able to mark each other in the race as well, right?
And Beiderman didn't make the 400 Free finals? I know it's been a few years but he is the world record holder!
Santiago Giraldo took out Ryan Harrison in the men's tennis singles
To be fair, in women's doubles, they were never going to beat Voskoboeva/Shvedova. Shvedova is a multiple doubles slam champ and is coming off a great Wimbledon. Voskoboeva is having one of the best years of her career, too, and she's ranked much higher than Dubois.
ETA: Darcis (BEL) takes out 6th seed Tomas Berdych (CZE). Biggest upset in the men's side so far.

CHICAGO — University of Minnesota Athletics Director Joel Maturi scoffs at his team's lack of football success with self-deprecating humor.
The Golden Gophers play for college football's oldest trophy (Little Brown Jug), most famous trophy (Paul Bunyan's Axe) and most unique trophy (Floyd of Rosedale). Much of Midwestern college football can be traced to those three trophies.
But where Minnesota football falls short in the trophy department is, well, in the trophy department.
"Certainly we have the most, that's for sure," Maturi said. "We don't have any in our trophy case right now … but we do have some great rivalries."
While the only trophies visible in Minnesota are those hanging over a fireplace, the Gophers' league boasts college football's most eclectic collection of historical artifacts. The Big Ten has 12 trophy rivalries among its 11 rivals. And all have a story to tell.
Minnesota and Michigan have played for the Little Brown Jug since 1903 when legendary Michigan Coach Fielding Yost left his 30-cent, five-gallon jug on the Minneapolis sidelines after the schools' 1903 game. Yost instead complained that the jug was stolen, so the teams staged another game in 1909 to play for it.
Purdue and Indiana, the nation's ninth-most played Division I football rivalry, compete for the Old Oaken Bucket, relic dating to the Civil War. The story goes that the bucket was used during a Confederate raid into southern Indiana. The bucket became the rivalry's symbol in 1925 and the winner attaches a link upon victory.
Ohio State and Illinois play for a turtle. Iowa and Minnesota play for a pig. Some symbols — like Illinois-Northwestern's Sweet Sioux Tomahawk — were retired in the name of political correctness. Others — like Minnesota-Wisconsin's Slab of Bacon — were lost and later replaced.
[poll id="26"]
"Traveling trophies are neat because they kind of started what this conference is all about," Illinois Coach Ron Zook said. "Those are things people hang on to. They're all a sign of what made this conference what it is."
"Usually when we sit down and we make team goals, which my players are in charge of, one of them that has been a concept since I've came on board is retain all trophies," Wisconsin Coach Bret Bielema said. "That says enough for itself."
Traveling trophies are integral reminders of college football's past. Oregon-Oregon State play for an obscure platypus that was lost for 45 years and the Texas-Oklahoma game includes a golden hat for the winner. Even longtime Division II rivals Truman State and Northwest Missouri State play for The Hickory Stick. But no league as a whole embraces traveling trophies like the Big Ten.
The league includes a list of trophies in its annual football media guide, along with the inaugural year and series total. Preserving trophy games and long-standing rivalries are at the forefront of public sentiment as Big Ten officials discuss divisional realignment. Within the next month, the league could cycle out a few trophy games as it determines the Big Ten's 12-team divisional structure in 2011.
"We need to do everything we can to preserve those," Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said. "Whether or not we'll be 100 percent able to preserve every trophy game or every rivalry game, I'll tell you we'll go to great lengths to make sure that tradition and rivalries are respected."
But what makes trophies special and unique to the Big Ten? Kansas and Missouri have played 118 times, just one less than Wisconsin-Minnesota. Those schools compete for a drum that's a mere footnote in their annual border showdown. Auburn-Georgia is the oldest and most-played game in the Deep South, but there's no trophy. Great rivalries exist throughout the country like Alabama-Auburn and USC-Notre Dame but traveling trophies uniquely are embedded to Big Ten culture.
Zook formerly coached Florida, which participates in long-standing rivalries with Georgia and Florida State. He struggled to describe why trophies developed more relevance in Middle America than in the football-crazy South.
"This conference was started long before any of us were here," Zook said. "Let me give you an example. Florida didn't win an SEC championship until 1991. I was there. That's pretty recent. Now they think they invented football. Football's been going on here for a hundred years.
"There are so many things that go on outside of a game, it's unbelievable. I just think it all adds to the pageantry of the Big Ten Conference."
Nation's oldest rivalry
The Minnesota-Wisconsin rivalry soared past 100 years 20 years ago. It's the most-played rivalry in Division I football.
The schools competed for the Slab of Bacon from 1930 through 1943, when it was discontinued out of respect for World War II. It was misplaced in a Wisconsin storage room until 1994. Since 1948, the teams have played for Paul Bunyan's Axe, maybe the most recognizable trophy in college sports. One side is painted red and white. The other in maroon and gold. The scores from each game are inscribed along the six-foot shaft.
Once the final second ticks away, the game ends in chaos. The winning side rushes to the axe, lofts it to the sky and sprints toward the end zone for a mock chopping of the goal post.
The trophy always had merit between the programs but it was Wisconsin Coach Barry Alvarez who re-emphasized it when he took over the Badgers in 1990.
"I made the game very important," said Alvarez, now Wisconsin's athletics director. "I used to give a history lesson every year. Bret does the same thing now to talk about how the rivalry has gone over the years, some of the great players that have played in it, some of the great games. The fact is you're a part of college history, ongoing history. The winner of that game is going to be etched on that axe. You're always going to be able to look at it.
"The bottom line, it's a symbol of victory."
Perhaps the most memorable recent axe moment came in 2005 when Wisconsin trailed Minnesota by 10 points with less than 3 minutes remaining. After scoring a touchdown to cut their deficit to a field goal, the Badgers blocked a punt with 30 seconds left and recovered the ball in the end zone for a shocking game-winning touchdown.
In 2008, the teams met in ABC's showcase game. With the backdrop of a potential New Year's Day bowl for Minnesota on the line, the Badgers stunned the Gophers in a fourth-quarter rally to win 35-32.
"The season can get long, it can get hard and guys can get worn out," Minnesota quarterback Adam Weber said. "To have those little games along the way that can kind of boost you up again, it can fill you up with energy. If you win those games, that can carry that for the rest of the season. Those are big games for us, not only big for our team but big for our fans and big for our state."
Losing those games also can have a draining effect. One week after losing the 2008 heartbreaker to Wisconsin, the Gophers came out emotionally flat against Iowa in the annual Floyd of Rosedale game. Iowa promptly trounced the Gophers 55-0.
"It's tough because when we play Wisconsin, when we play Iowa, we give it our all, both teams do," Weber said. "You've got to be leery because it is like any other game, but you also have to realize that it is a special game for both schools."
Livestock trophies
Iowa and Minnesota have played annually since 1930 and 103 times overall. After a racial incident threatened to end the series after the 1934 game, the states' governors bet prized pigs on the 1935 game. The Hawkeyes lost, and Iowa Gov. Clyde Herring gave Minnesota Gov. Floyd Olson a Hampshire pig. A 98.3-pound bronze pig was sculpted the following year, and the schools have fought for the pig 75 times.
Iowa displays the trophy throughout the year, but it becomes a prominent symbol during game weeks. Team managers wheel it in front of the locker room so the players can touch it, then bring it to practice.
When Iowa plays in Minneapolis, managers load Floyd on a semi-trailer truck, and he's driven to the team hotel before the players arrive at the game. The pig is locked in a meeting room the night before the game and rides the bus with the team to the stadium. Floyd stays in the locker room during halftime before he's wheeled behind the bench during the second half.
Floyd has great value to both sides, Brewster said.
"The two trophies that I think are the most meaningful to Minnesotans are the pig and the axe," Brewster said. "Obviously the Little Brown Jug has been around for a long time, too; it just doesn't seem to carry the same significance. We're going to play Iowa. We're going to play Wisconsin every year.
"It's significant to our players and to the people in the state of Minnesota and it's important to go fight and go compete to get those trophies. Right now we don't have one."
Maturi said his program struggles to identify one trophy as its most important.
"I would be doing a disservice of saying this one is most important because it might be most important to me personally but it may not be most important to our fans," Maturi said. "In many ways that may be a healthy thing; it's not like I can say this one is the one because our fans are really passionate.
"Saying that, Wisconsin and Minnesota's rivalry is the oldest, longest-continuous rivalry in the nation. So that in itself has some meaning to it, forget the trophy game."
In many respects, Wisconsin's rivalry with Iowa resembles Maturi's remark. Wisconsin and Iowa own the most evenly matched long-standing rivalry in Big Ten history. Through 85 games, Iowa leads 42-41-2. In the last 15 years, Iowa leads 8-7.
In 2004, the schools commissioned the Heartland Trophy, which features a bronze bull mounted to a walnut base. The bull measures 30 inches tall, 36 inches long and 18 inches deep. It was designed by former Iowa player and Des Moines artist Frank Strub.
"Someone came forward to see if we'd be interested in playing since we're protecting that rivalry did we want to play for a trophy, and we agreed to it," Alvarez said. "I think it adds a little more to the game."
As an assistant under Alvarez, Bielema recalled the impact of the Badgers' rivalries with his players, including former tight end Jason Poclask.
"He raised his hand and quite simple said one of his senior season goals was to beat Iowa," said Bielema, a former Iowa team captain. "I'm like, if this is a kid from Indiana playing at Wisconsin and one of his season goals was to beat Iowa, that made a huge statement to me about the impact of that rivalry to that young man."
Ancient seeds
Illinois' traveling trophies boast a deep history. In 1905, a group of Purdue students took a cannon to Champaign, Ill., hoping to fire it in victory. The weapon was confiscated in advance by an Illini supporter, who then took it to his Illinois farmhouse. In 1943, after the cannon survived a fire, the Illini supporter donated it back to the schools as a traveling trophy.
After the Sweet Sioux Tomahawk was retired in 2008 after 63 years, Illinois and Northwestern now battle for the newly commissioned Land of Lincoln Trophy. Illinois also plays for the Illibuck, a wooden turtle which is the Big Ten's second-oldest trophy.
Joining the Illini for the Illibuck is Ohio State in — strangely — that school's only traveling trophy. It was conceived in 1925 with a real turtle, then transferred to the wooden version in 1927 when the original turtle died.
"It's a pretty cool trophy if you've never seen it," Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel said. "It's special to us because it's our only one."
Michigan State shares trophies with Indiana (the Old Brass Spittoon), Michigan (Paul Bunyan Trophy) and the obscure Land Grant Trophy with Penn State. The Old Brass Spittoon is nearly 190 years old and came from one of Michigan's oldest trading posts, according to the school. The Paul Bunyan Trophy was donated by a former Michigan governor. Michigan State and Penn State are two of the nation's oldest land-grant institutions and initiated the trophy after Penn State joined the league in 1993. Penn State and Minnesota also play for the Governor's Victory Bell.
Three other traveling trophies exist for Big Ten schools. Michigan State and Purdue compete annually against Notre Dame for trophies, as does Iowa with cross-state rival Iowa State.
Oddly enough, the Big Ten's greatest rivalry doesn't have a trophy. Michigan-Ohio State have concluded their regular seasons against one another every year since 1935. Forty-six times the game has determined the Big Ten champion. Yet, no trophy exists.
"Some things don't need a trophy I guess," Tressel said. "I guess it's such a rivalry that you don't need to inscribe it on something. It's inscribed in your heart."
Long live the trophy
Websites already tout the potential trophy games for Nebraska when it joins the league in 2011. Farm machinery has been suggested for a potential Iowa-Nebraska game, while Alvarez's Nebraska roots have added to name suggestions for a Wisconsin-Nebraska trophy.
"I think everybody's excited about the addition of Nebraska," Iowa Coach Kirk Ferentz said.
The players say they don't prepare any differently for trophy games. But the emotion surrounding them changes their attitude and often sharpens their focus.
"Your preparation doesn't change because when it comes down to it, it's the same Xs and Os football game," Weber said. " But it's that little extra fuel in the tank for practice."
Schools display trophies in cases visible to its players. They parade the trophies in public tours and state fairs to conjure good will among the alumni. And they're rubbed in the face of a defeated opponent seconds after the game is complete.
"Iowa has been unique because this is my fifth year," Wisconsin quarterback Scott Tolzien said. "We had it the first two years, and the last two years Iowa has had it. So that's what a rivalry game is. It's back and forth.
"Hopefully we can get it back this year."
That's what traveling trophies are all about.

I am surprised you didn't include the bourbon barrel that was the trophy for the winner of the IU/Kentucky game.
Interesting. That's not one the Big Ten lists on its trophy list. I'll have to look into that.
bourbon barrel isn't PC anymore…

TEAMS: Detroit Pistons, Milwaukee Bucks
Charlie Villanueva hit a 3-pointer with 9.7 seconds left and Rodney Stuckey sealed the win with two free throws as the Detroit Pistons beat the Milwaukee Bucks 105-100 on Saturday night.
Brandon Jennings, who scored 26 points, took an inbounds pass from Monta Ellis and made a tough fadeaway shot with 47.8 seconds left, but Jose Calderon, who tied his season high with 23 points, came back with a running layup for Detroit that tied it at 100.
After a timeout, the Pistons worked the ball to Villanueva, who got it at the top of the key and swished a 3 with 9.7 seconds left. On the Bucks' next possession, Jennings fired up a 31-foot 3-point attempt with 3.2 seconds left. Stuckey's two free throws with 1.6 seconds remaining were the final margin.
