Knitting & Crocheting
ISO pattern for Rose Lattice crocheted afghan
A friend has given me bags and boxes of yarn left behind by the death of his MIL. One of the boxes is a crochet kit from Wonder Art Creative Needlecrafts. It is pattern No. 2404-01 "Rose Lattice."
How should I go about finding the pattern?
Is there a picture of the afghan. I googled Rose Lattice Afghan and one of the things that came was several images for it. One showed WonderArt Kit. Very pretty, then I started clicking on some of the links and one seems to have the Rose Lattice Afghan Crochet Pattern - for sale for $5.
I have attempted to show the link, hopefully I am allowed to and also it will show up.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for.

That's it!! There was a picture in the box and it said the pattern was on the reverse side but the wrapper was torn in half, just showing the picture and not including the directions.
I'm planning to share all this yarn with our local senior center members and let the knitters and crocheters take what they want. Now I can tell the person who wants that kit that she can get the pattern for $5 if she wants it.
It is a pretty afghan, isn't it. Thanks for your help. I don't know how you found it. I looked for over an hour.
You are quite welcome. When I google something, I try every wording first (but yours was on the spot) and then start clicking links. Sometimes I get what I want, LOL, sometimes I don't. But glad I could help.
LI Roe
If you haven't bought the pattern I have it.
I would also love to have the pattern if possible !
Send me your address. I have both of them one had white and one had black background. I also have the pattern for matching pillow.
My email firstname.lastname@example.com
Host sorry I am new on this web and I am still trying to figure it out. To me it is confusing.

Keep Your Holiday Guests Safe When They Have Food Allergies
Posted by Emilee | Posted in Be Healthy, Food Safety, FYI, Seasonal | Posted on 20-12-2011
If your goal is to take the breath away of your holiday dinner guests and leave them itching and gagging, you don't need to read this article. Shortness of breath, itching, dizziness, and stomach discomfort, swelling and nausea are signs of food allergies. For some guests, avoiding allergic reactions can be as critical as life and death. To avoid these problems consider calling your guests and taking into consideration the food allergies of any expected guests. Organize a menu that accommodates all guests.
A cook who has given himself time to ascertain the needs of his guests gives himself extra time to look up special dishes within the parameters of guests' palate and allergies. This might even include speaking to the companies that process meats, because though turkey may seem harmless to a gluten intolerant person, sometimes ingredients containing soy, wheat and even dairy are used to baste the turkey.
I recommend not making any dish with an item in it that a guest could have an allergic reaction to. This reduces the likelihood of an allergen lingering in the air, on serving utensils, on hands, or on the breath of anyone attending.
It might be tempting to just run to the store and buy an item that claims to be free of certain ingredients. However, according to the Mayo Clinic, food manufacturers only need to list food allergy items if they are a part of the ingredient used to make the dish. This means that there may not be any warning of possible cross contact!
If you are inviting over multiple families, it is best to do all of the cooking yourself, so that you can answer any food questions by guests and so that you can ensure their safety. This way you can also have ingredient labels handy, should anyone be curious. If certain guests insist on bringing something, you can have them bring non-food party items such as a video, decoration, poetry reading, music or packaged plastic ware.
With a little research and planning, you will help your guests avoid the problems associated with food allergies during the festivities at your home.
Here are some recipes you can use this holiday season for guests with common food allergies:
- Gluten-free Waffles for gluten allergy/intolerance (recipe calls for almond flour, eggs).
- Shortbread Cookies for gluten allergy/intolerance, dairy allergy, nut allergy (recipe calls for eggs)
- Assorted allergen-free recipes

bp tags not working in plugins?
I'm trying to prefill a field in a plugin form. I get no results with this:
<input value="<?php bp_user_fullname() ?>">
This little test did work:
<input value="<?php echo "test"; ?>">
bp tags don't work in plugins? Should I move the plugin to mu-plugins and/or activate it site-wide?
Is there a way to "associate" the plugin with Buddypress or would that be bad practice?
Can I get the required data – first name, last name, email – from standard WP tables with standard WP tags? Is there a list of those tags anywhere…?
Thanks for any pointers!

This week, Nike unveiled its latest innovations in running gear, explaining that it's "going green while going for gold." Using fabrics created out of recycled water bottles and working towards zero-waste construction techniques for sneakers, Nike's aim is to design more eco-friendly products for the Summer games. In the trickle-down theory of sportswear technology, elements of these designs will be making their way to the masses soon. Get a preview of what the runners will be wearing in London, including a dimpled speed suit and a marathon shoe so light it feels like a sock. Pro TurboSpeed What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Over a thousand hours of wind-tunnel research, as well as input from the fastest woman in the world, Carmelita Jeter (pictured here), went into the design of this speed suit, which is constructed from recycled polyester fabric. Carmelita heads into 2012 as the reigning world champion of the 100 meters. The sprinter likes running in her recycled suit and hopes other sports tap into uniforms made from sustainable fabrics. 1 / 9 TurboSpeed Suit Is Dimpled What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Like a golf ball, Nike added strategically placed dimples into the Pro TurboSpeed suit, making this running kit "faster than skin." When measured against the speed suit sprinters wore in Beijing in the 100 meters, the Pro TurboSpeed is 0.023 seconds faster. This small difference means a lot — in sprints, milliseconds can be the difference between making it onto the podium or not. Reminiscent of the full-body swimsuits athletes wore to break speed record upon speed record in the pool, these suits were put through an approval process with the International Olympic Committee by the US Track and Field. 2 / 9 Perforated Back What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The holes in the back of the Pro TurboSpeed are part of the zoned aerodynamic details to reduce drag. They're pretty sexy, too. According to Carmelita, the suit is so tight that "it feels like you're running with no clothes on." Carmelita also explained that even though the suit hugs the skin, it's surprisingly easy to put on. The inside of the suit is smooth and "feels like baby powder." Carmelita also emphasized the comfort of the suit; it creates no distractions. 3 / 9 Green Means Go . . . Fast What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Carmelita also had a say in the new track shoe, Zoom Spike. While she loves her pink spikes, these green shoes make her feel ready to run fast! "I want people to see my feet," Jeter says. In these lime-green shoes, they will. 4 / 9 Gold Soles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The gold on the Zoom Spike sole illustrates the Olympic dream of making it to the top of the podium. 6 / 9 Nike FlyKnit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 For years marathoners have been asking Nike for a shoe that feels like a sock, and now it's a reality with the FlyKnit. Runner Abdi Abdirahman, who placed third in the US Marathon trials in January, wore FlyKnits during the race and said he kept looking at his feet to make sure he still had shoes on. Lightweight and fitted, a size nine men's FlyKnit weighs 5.6 ounces. To put that in perspective, the average iPhone weighs 4.9 ounces. 6 / 9 It Looks Like Crochet What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Up close, the FlyKnit looks like macrame or crochet and is soft to the feel. The yarns weave together to create dynamic support and intricate designs. You can also see the entire structure of the shoe — nothing is hidden. For the everyday runner, Nike has created the FlyKit trainer; us mortals can pick up a pair in late June when they go on sale. 7 / 9 One-Piece Upper What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The FlyKnit upper is virtually seamless, creating comfort, support, and fit. Even the eyelets that hold the shoe laces in place are constructed from yarn. This is truly a minimalist shoe. 8 / 9 Knitted Shoes Are Eco What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hannah Jones, VP of Sustainable Business and Innovation for Nike, stands in front of a closeup of the FlyKnit upper and explains that since the shoe is made completely of yarn, there are no leftover scraps making their way to landfill. Also on Nike's green agenda: working with a small Dutch company on a waterless fabric dying technique. 9 / 9 0 18 18 0 0 Read More 2012 OlympicsTrack And FieldMarathonRunningRunning ShoesNikeFitness 2012 Olympics An Olympic Craft For the Opening Ceremonies 2/07 Team USA Olympians Know How to Rock Serious Star-Spangled Style 2/03 Video: Olympic Runner Accused of Murder, Timberlake Reveals New Video, and More! 2/14/13 The Gold Standard: Team USA's Greatest 2012 Olympic Moments 12/27/12 Best of 2012: See All Our London Olympics Coverage 12/27/12 50 Sexy Sports Stars Who Won Our Hearts in 2012 12/19/12 Running The 10 Biggest Running Mistakes You're Making 4 hours ago These Tips Will Help You Score a PR on Race Day 1 day ago Follow This Running Tip to Prevent Dreaded Shin Splints 1 day ago Why You May Want to Ditch Your Running Buddy 2 days ago 5 Quick Tips to Ensure a Good Run 2 days ago 7 Ways to Run Like a Pro 3 days ago Nike The Best Moves For Tank-Top Arms 3 weeks ago Real Moon Shoes Finally Exist 7/18 Want Awesome Arms?

Comments about RadioShack 45-Ft. UL-Recognized Hookup Wire (18AWG):
The technical specifications should include the voltage and temperature rating for the wire. It may be UL-type AWM rated at 300 volts AC or DC and possibly 176 degrees F. But I cannot determine this from reading the technical specifications. I will check the package for the info, but it should show up on line.
Comments about RadioShack 45-Ft. UL-Recognized Hookup Wire (18AWG):
The black wire included in the kit is a finer strand than the green and the red wire. I found the black wire to be much easier to work with, wish the other colors were as nice. Otherwise wire seemed fine.

Rusty Spur Saloon
Nobody's putting on airs at this fun-lovin', pack-'em-in-tight country bar where the grizzled Budweiser crowd gathers for cheap drinks and twangy country bands. It's in an old bank building that closed during the Depression; the vault now holds liquor instead of greenbacks – except for the dollar bills hanging from the ceiling. Pardner, we kinda like this place.

We, the undersigned, are concerned residents of Bayside and the Jacoby Creek Valley,
Humboldt County, who are requesting the County of Humboldt and the City of Arcata to work together to address motorist speeding and safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorists on Old Arcata Road.

At places where Old Arcata Road is most often crossed by pedestrians (especially school children), we want the County to paint 'piano bar' stripes and neon pointer signs; we want solid double lines painted where motorists are passing unsafely on the road; and we want an electronic sign that indicates MPH installed at points along the Road where motorists most frequently speed up.
We respectfully request a meeting with County officials as soon as possible to discuss other actions the County can take to control motorist speeding and improve safety on Old Arcata Road.
Please visit us at baysidepride.org - you may find a hard copy of the petition to print on our home page, as well.

Re: Rest in Peace, George Willer
Like so many here, I only got to meet George in-person one time; at the first Cub-Arama. I got spend the better part of one afternoon talking to George about cubs. As many of you know, the first cub I got was a first year lo-boy, which we still have. In the process of figuring out what color to paint it, I somehow transposed the serial number to make it a '57, not a '55. I decaled and painted the lo-boy as a '57 and, during our visit at the first Cub-Arama, George asked me why I had done that. I told him what had happedend with the serial number mix-up and remarked to him, "I really like the way it looks, but I know I have messed it up big time". George's reply was, "No, you didn't....it is your tractor...paint it the color that you like!"
George will be missed by all of us here, but the memories we have of him, and his knowlege and wisdom, will live on in all of us. Rest in peace, George.

George, you've been through more these last couple years than most people do their entire life. Now you can rest. Thanks for teaching and mentoring all of us. Prayers go out to the Marilyn and the family.

Re: Rest in Peace, George Willer
Never met George in person, but after being a member here for so many years I can't help but feel like I knew him. I learned so much from George, reading his insights over the years, long before I bought my first Cub. No doubt that George is now reaping his rewards for the many good seeds he has planted over the years. Our prayers are with his family...

Re: Rest in Peace, George Willer
My sincere condolences to the Willer family and friends. Like many I never met George but felt a connection through the Cub Family, a true testament to the influence he had on so many.
Yes, there must be tractors in heaven, and George will be at peace.
Rest in Peace George,
Re: Rest in Peace, George Willer
I am so saddened to by this.
I had a chance to meet George when I first got my Cub. He was so eager to share his wisdom, time, and sense of humor.
Thanks, George!

Re: Rest in Peace, George Willer
Sorry to hear that so many of you lost a good friend. Rest in Peace Mr. Willer

Dodgers Short Hops: Game 2
Los Angeles finds itself in a do-or-die situation on Saturday
NEW YORK -- Fielding the Dodgers' Game 2 loss to the Mets on a short hop ...In < 25 words...
It's win-or-else for the remainder of this series after the Dodgers dropped a 4-1 decision to the Mets on Thursday night at Shea.
Frozen moment
After he reached first base with an infield single in the fourth inning, first baseman Nomar Garciaparra limped across the bag, obviously feeling pain in his tender left quad. The veteran warrior remained in the game, but he departed in the sixth inning, when he aggravated a sore oblique during his final at-bat.
Big number
Two: During their six innings against Mets left-hander Tom Glavine, the Dodgers had only two baserunners get into scoring position. Garciaparra reached second base with one out in the fourth inning, but was left stranded. Julio Lugo reached second on a one-out double in the fifth inning, but he was also left stranded at second. Game ball
Wilson Betemit -- five balls: In a pinch-hit role in the eighth inning, Betemit slugged a solo home run -- his third hit in the National League Division Series. Jeff Kent -- four: The veteran second baseman had two hits and is now 4-for-8 in the series. Nomar Garciaparra -- four: He gets high marks just for playing in obvious pain for as long as he did. Hong-Chih Kuo -- three: The young left-hander retired eight of the first 10 batters he faced and 12 of the first 15, but a leadoff walk to Jose Valentin in the fifth started an inning he couldn't finish. Sense of October
A brisk fall breeze blowing in from center field helped the Dodgers in the fourth inning. A ball that Mets left fielder Cliff Floyd hit off Kuo had home run written all over it until right fielder J.D. Drew went back to the wall, looked up, reached up and caught the ball.
Lines of the Game
Kenny Lofton
Comment: For the second straight game, Lofton went hitless in four at-bats, striking out once and getting the ball out of the infield just once. He might need a breather in Game 3.
Chad Billingsley
Comment: The rookie right-hander made his playoff debut with a bang, striking out the first two batters he faced in the seventh inning, including Carlos Delgado on a backdoor slider. Billingsley also fanned Carlos Beltran to start the seventh.
"We're not giving up. It's a matter of going out and winning three in a row. We won seven in a row coming into this series, so we're capable of running off three in a row." -- Dodgers pitcher Brett Tomko
Next step
The Dodgers get a day to rest up and lick their wounds before sending future Hall of Fame pitcher Greg Maddux to the mound on Saturday at 4:35 p.m. PT at Dodger Stadium in the first of three must-win games.

The category-five monster that slammed into New Orleans Aug. 29, 2005, holds an infamous place on record as causing the most extensive damage ($108 billion worth) and as one of the five deadliest hurricanes in the history of the United States. Some 1,833 people died as a result of the storm, as flood waters from the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Pontchartrain overflowed the antiquated U.S. Army Corps of Engineer-designed levees that protected the city's inhabitants.
And yet, it's not as if they didn't see the devastation coming. Experts had long warned about the cataclysmic effects of a major hurricane's direct impact on low-lying New Orleans and, alert to the danger, President George W. Bush declared a state of emergency two days before Katrina made landfall. But no one, it turns out, was really quite ready for the chaos that ensued. With inadequate preparations made for evacuation, looting and rioting broke out across the city, while residents drowned in the attics of their homes or were left to die in hospital beds.
The president's unqualified FEMA appointee, Michael Brown, was shown to be just that, while Bush was lambasted for a belated and inadequate National Guard response — and for appearing distant. (In Bush's memoirs, he called the scathing comments from Kanye West — "George Bush doesn't care about black people" — the worst moment of his presidency.)
Worse, the perception that America couldn't handle its affairs at home though it had committed heavily to wars overseas seemed to change the national tenor to the effort in Iraq. And it certainly didn't help Bush's cause that Cuba and Venezuela, two nations he vilified, were the first to offer to come to America's aid with pledges of donations and aid.

FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
Free sucked, but putting him in the same conversation with Leave, Akili, and Russell us just silly.
All picks have a chance of busting, but you're doing a disservice talking about players like Freeman who were picked in the back half of the first round. The Bucs are almost a lock to have a top 5 pick and QBs picked in the top 5 actually pan out at a pretty solid rate.
We traded up to get the guy in the first because he was supposed to be a "franchise" QB. He's a bust as of today

Fisher Wins in Ohio, A Run-Off in North Carolina
by Charles Lemos, Tue May 04, 2010 at 11:27:02 PM EDT
Here's what we know: Lt. Governor Lee Fisher has won the Democratic nomination for the US Senate in Ohio beating back a challenge from Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner. With almost 50% of precincts reporting when the Associated Press called the race at 10:15 p.m. ET, Fisher had just over 193,000 votes (56%) to Brunner's 169,600 (44%). Fisher now face Republican nominee Rob Portman in November for the right to replace retiring Republican George Voinovich.
In North Carolina, neither Elaine Marshall, the Secretary of State nor Cal Cunningham, an Iraq War veteran and a former state lawmaker, cleared the 40 percent threshold required to claim victory. The two will square off in a run-off on June 22nd.
In Indiana, former right wing Senator Dan Coats has won the GOP nomination. He's likely to face Representative Brad Ellsworth in the general election. The race is to fill the seat of the retiring Evan Bayh. Coats served in the U.S. House from 1981 to 1989 and the U.S. Senate from 1989 to 1999 when he retired. He has been a registered lobbyist since retiring from Congress and represents everything that's wrong with the revolving door in Washington politics.

Haiti and Honduras: End military coups and occupations
by Global Women's Strike
But while the Hondurans' struggle for the return of their elected and then deposed President Manuel Zelaya receives the support it deserves, the Haitians who struggle to regain their elected and then deposed President Jean-Bertrand Aristide have been denied that support.
In 2004 President Aristide, a liberation theology priest with a 91.8 percent mandate from the 2000 election, was forced into exile by a U.S. military coup backed by Canada and France. Two months later U.N. forces occupied Haiti legitimizing the coup.
Some of the governments now working for the return of Zelaya have been collaborating with the occupation of Haiti. The U.N. occupying forces are headed by the Brazilian military and include troops from Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay and Uruguay.
Only Caricom, English-speaking nations in the Caribbean, and Venezuela have refused to be involved, along with Cuba, which has continued to provide doctors.
Aristide was removed because he dared to try to bring Haitians "from destitution to poverty." His policies did not suit the elites of Haiti and the U.S., which profit from sweatshops, privatization and the import of rice, which has destroyed local agriculture and brought starvation. Like Zelaya in Honduras and Chávez in Venezuela, who also faced a coup in 2002, Aristide increased the minimum wage and invested in food security, health and education.
The U.N. occupation has been responsible for many rapes, disappearances like that of Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine and murders, most recently in June 2009 when they opened fire on mourners at the funeral of Father Jean-Juste, another liberation theology priest, killing one of the mourners.
In February 2009 we wrote to President Evo Morales of Bolivia to respectfully ask that he withdraws his troops from Haiti. We felt that as an Indigenous president who has faced huge racist attacks because he represents a grassroots movement determined to eliminate poverty and discrimination, he would be most likely to respond to the people of Haiti. See the letter at www.globalwomenstrike.net/Haiti/lettertoEvoMoralesMarch09.htm.
The letter was delivered to President Morales via his sister, Esther Morales Ayma, and by the Bolivian ambassador to London, Beatriz Souviron. We have received no reply to date.
We urge you to endorse and circulate this letter. We urge you also to write to other Latin American governments which are collaborating with the occupation of Haiti.
The world owes a great debt to the Haitian people, whose 1804 revolution overthrew slavery, making way for emancipation in the region and for liberation and anti-colonial movements everywhere.
Haitians have never given up. Their determination was in evidence once again when they boycotted the June 2009 elections from which President Aristide's party Fanmi Lavalas was banned. Despite huge U.S. funding to get out the vote, only 3 percent voted – a triumph of organization and solidarity from which we can all learn!
Commenting on recent U.S. involvement in Honduras, President Chávez said, "Obama is a prisoner of the Empire." Argentina's president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner has referred to "interests that may want to change the direction" begun at the Summit of the Americas, held in April 2009 in Trinidad and Tobago.
Some suspect that Honduras may be a U.S. military coup against not only Zelaya but Obama too. Others worry that Obama has given in to the military and their Washington hawks. We know that friends of the Clintons have been speaking for the coup in Honduras, and that the U.S. has announced the building of seven additional military bases in Colombia, to the condemnation of the whole region.
It is clear to us that after the people of Venezuela defeated the coup against their president in 2002, both the imperialist and the national racist elites were weakened. But the acceptance of the 2004 coup in Haiti allowed them to regroup. The Honduras coup would have been less likely if Latin American governments had refused to collaborate with the U.S. in Haiti.
Let's use Latin America's new-found unity on Honduras to demand the return not only of Zelaya but of Aristide. Invest in caring, not killing.
The Global Women's Strike network, with national coordinations in 13 countries and participating organizations in over 60 countries, is demanding the return of military budgets to the community, beginning with women, the main carers of people and the planet. Learn more at www.globalwomenstrike.net.
One thought on "Haiti and Honduras: End military coups and occupations"
Hector Mena
You are so wrong, Hondurans don´t want Zelaya back hear my words, the day, hopefully never, Zelaya is back to power you will see a real dictaorship, and you will have to eat your own words when he tries to stop november elections.↓

About Vitol:Val Vasilef is an award-winning bodybuilder and Mr. America winner. He has been honored by his home state for achieving unmatched weightlifting and bodybuilding records. In addition to his physical pursuits, Val studied nutrition and sports science, and earned a doctorate in naturopathy. This knowledge came in handy when the usually well-bulked bodybuilder lost weight and muscle. His uncharacteristic slimness occurred after starring in his own TV series left him less time to concentrate on fitness."I watched in horror as my muscular body got skinnier, and my mass and density took a hike," he says. "I tried to overcome my muscle loss by training harder. I frantically searched for info on bodybuilding products in magazines, hoping to stop my weight loss."
Val tried bodybuilding products that claimed to pack on muscle immediately - but none worked. His wife, Susan, a Miss World Physical Fitness winner and commentator on the show, says the audience was starting to notice, too. "They were asking, what happened to Val's muscles?" she says.
Down to 175 pounds from his once-muscular, 215-pound body, Val had lost more than 40 pounds of muscle. "I was fed up with worthless programs and muscle-building products that did nothing but waste my time and drain my pockets," he recalls. "But I had made worldwide contacts in musclebuilding resources." These included hi-tech Russian researchers, U.S. world champs and of course, the wisdom of his Uncle John, the "Russian Bear." Val succeeded in designing a powerful musclebuilding system for weightlifters, bodybuilders and athletes. With the Russian Bear system, Val's weight soon climbed back to 215 pounds of hard muscle mass. "I constantly had to defend myself at the gym. People couldn't believe my muscle gains were completely natural, without steroids," he says. "Everyone wanted to know what I was taking."

Why would Canon offer a 4K 40mpx camera for $4-5,000
when they just began selling their C300 for $16,000 ?
These are just my thoughts You are right in this case of C300, I've forgotten about it. But as I stated before, there is market for 40 mpx camera aimed for studio/landscape and video. Maybe just FHD.
Thank you for correction

My mission: share life over fabulously simple and delicious food, to love well and laugh often. Life is too short not to, right?
I'm a Texan born and raised, through and through, but love living in my adoptive state of Arkansas where the land is gorgeous and the people are as sweet as they come. Oh, but we spent 4 years living in Colorado too, where the scenery is equally as pretty and the people equally as wonderful. You can read more about our move here.
My hope is that when you come to Heather's Dish you leave with (mostly) healthy recipes and soul-satisfying conversation. Authenticity is incredibly important to me, so I promise to always be honest and authentic with you!

I am also a fitness fanatic and was a personal trainer in a past life. While I am no longer certified and therefore cannot offer any fitness advice, I do share my own experiences on my Fitness page and in my State of Motherhood addresses.
I am also passionate about photography and am continuously working on improving not just my food photography, but landscape and portrait photography as well. There is just so much beauty out there waiting to be captured!

Heather, stumbled across your blog because of a comment you posted somewhere and I really like it!!!
I just lost my last annoying little kilo's by running and maintaining a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Noticed that by cooking everything yourself, and deleting most 'readymade' crap, you loose a couple of pounds already. And if you make everything yourself, you just feel healthier instantly. On top of that, as soon as I stopped focussing too much on losing the weight and started focussing and fueling my body with healthy things and trying to enjoy running to get fit, it just went away on it's own!
I have never felt this good in my life!!!!!
Hope you feel like me soon and will be reading up on you!

Your blog is a great find! I'm also a mother of a one-year-old boy (pregnant now with boy #2!), and my husband and I are training to go into full-time ministry, the goal being to plant churches overseas. I'm a food blogger as well (www.erynlynum.com), sharing my story of being a former anorexic, now fully enjoying great food!

I found your blog on the "Stumble Upon" social network, and look forward to reading your future posts!

Keeping the peace at Notting Hill
The message from the Met Police came loud and clear - and very early in the morning. Hundreds of officers making over 100 arrests in dawn raids aimed at keeping trouble away from this weekend's Notting Hill Carnival.
Officers targeted suspected gangs, seizing cash and weapons. But today's high visibility raids were just one part of the operation -- police are keeping a close eye at what's going on online too, as Piers Hopkirk reports.

One of the best routes at Little Falls and listed at 5.10+ in the old guidebook, Fred P. Jones is a great, steep, sustained route, probably in the low 5.11 range. The lower section is the route's technical crux, climbing through good crimps to gain a big horizontal jug "rest." The top half of the route gets progressivly more overhanging with big moves through good-but-not-great holds.
The large, concave face towards the east end of the island, Fred P. Jones is easily identified by the big horizontal splitting it at half height.

Years of occupation and civil war have turned Afghanistan into a place synonymous with chaos and danger, but Coral Gables resident Joseph Hoyt is set on showing a different side of the country.
Hoyt is hosting his exhibit Afghanistan 1970-1975 Images from an Era of Peace at the Coral Gables Museum through June 22.
Hoyt's pictures were taken over five years in the 1970's, while he traveled in and out of Afghanistan, taking pictures, exploring and purchasing textiles and other Afghan goods.
Though the photos have received praise and acceptance to world-renowned venues such as the San Francisco Public Library and Coventry Cathedral in England, Hoyt stresses that his photos are a product not of a profession, but rather of a hobby.
"I'm not a photographer, I like taking pictures, but by no means am I a photographer," said Hoyt. "I was just a hippie with a camera."
Hoyt was in his early 20's at the time the photos were taken and ended up in Afghanistan after traveling through Europe and Turkey—along the famous "hippie trail." He entered from Pakistan and eventually found his way into the country that he had heard so much about.
"It was as remote a place as any, and so exotic. But it was also an extraordinary country, physically, geographically—massive mountains, great food and great people."
According to Hoyt, the pictures divulge the people of Afghanistan to their truest form at a time when there was peace.
"To look at a point in time when they were neither occupied by foreign forces or in the midst of civil war—there's a benefit to that," said Hoyt. "It's been almost two generations of war, there are Afghans who've experienced nothing but that — war."
However, it's not just the photos, but also the man behind the camera that make them come to life, according to Sara Zajic, a staff member at the Fairchild Tropical Garden — where Hoyt volunteers.
"Joe physically gets down to the level of the kids at the garden when he volunteers to listen and understand them, and that's prevalent in his photos. He fully immerses himself," said Zajic.
Hoyt hadn't done anything with the photos since 1975, expect share them with friends and family. But it was 9/11 and the onset of the war in Afghanistan that prompted him to show a counter to what the media was portraying of the country.
"The Afghans are so misunderstood," said Hoyt. "There are images of war and violence. My intention is to continue to demonstrate that there's relevance to learning more about Afghanistan and its people."
Hoyt also mentioned that the exhibit in it the logistics phase of being taken to Afghanistan.
"I saw Afghans in their 70's in tears when I took it to San Francisco; I can't imagine the effect it could have back in Afghanistan."
The exhibit displays not just the photos but also traditional Afghan garb Hoyt brought back with him, textiles and memorabilia such as one of the cameras he used and his old English/Afghan-Dari dictionary.
"They tell a story, one that shows what Afghanistan looked like through the eyes of a young foreigner," said Hoyt.
Hoyt will give a talk at 7 p.m. on Thursday, June 13, at the Coral Gables Museum, 285 Aragon Ave. Admission is free.

State Leadership and Skills Conferences Inspiring Students and Setting New Records
This is the most exciting time of year for me to witness firsthand our mission manifest in the work of our state associations. Every state association director across the nation is charged with organizing and managing their state leadership conference and skills competitions and I am thrilled with the incredible things I am witnessing as I travel to our state events. A big thank you goes out to all our state directors for their dedication to our members and the passion they exhibit for SkillsUSA. The work they are doing is making such a positive impact on our student members, their schools and their communities!
From April 3-7, I attended an outstanding SkillsUSA California State Leadership and Skills Conference in San Diego. I was honored to be the keynote speaker at the state conference banquet, speak on "Good Morning San Diego" on KUSI TV with the state officer team and speak at both the opening and awards ceremonies. State association director, Clay Mitchell, and his board of directors are setting new records and involving more students than ever before. My time in California started with participation in the state board of directors meeting. The California board includes a great group of educators and industry, and they are doing outstanding work for the state association. Several national partner companies are involved on this board including State Farm Insurance, Sandvik Corporation, Snap-on, The Association of Woodworking & Furnishings Suppliers and Toyota. At the meeting, the board reviewed and revised their strategic plan and put assignments in place for the state conference.
The state conference was the largest ever in California and was well orchestrated with hundreds of business representatives serving as technical committee members and judges. The conference has doubled in size since my last visit four years ago. The opening and awards ceremonies were excellent, and the student officers performed exceptionally well.
A highlight of the conference was spending time with VIPs, including the Deputy Superintendent of Public Instruction, Lupita Cortez Alcala. I was honored to have dinner with her and discuss the value of SkillsUSA in the California system. Board members, students and I escorted her on a tour of the Championships, and she was very impressed. Quoting the deputy superintendent, "It was a true honor for me to be part of the 46th SkillsUSA Leadership and Skills Conference and to witness an outstanding organization, student and staff leadership and the passion and dedication of so many volunteers and business partners. I was especially impressed with the student knowledge, confidence, talent and dedication! I can say it was truly inspirational for me and I've returned so excited and passionate about SkillsUSA." She has already committed to getting the state superintendent to attend next year, and she is working on attending our national conference this summer. And, the biggest news from the conference is—as a result of the deputy superintendent's participation in the conference—state-level funding for all student organizations in California has been restored!
California membership is up by nearly 3,000 this year. There are great things happening with our state leadership and in our schools in California. Big congratulations to our state director and the board!
One day home and I was off to Wisconsin Dells for the 40th Anniversary SkillsUSA Wisconsin State Leadership and Skills Conference. Board member and high school state association director, Brent Kindred, was my guide and really made my participation in the conference exciting and worthwhile. Assistant Director, Lauri Domer, and College/Postsecondary Director, Dale Drees, both did an exceptional job at another record-breaking state conference.
I was honored to be the keynote speaker at the opening ceremony on April 10. The ceremony was held in a beautiful performing arts theater, and it was well produced. A diverse group of high school and college/postsecondary state officers led an outstanding opening ceremony. I was also pleased to see several alumni and former national officers involved in the production. To help celebrate the 40th anniversary, three former state association directors were invited back and honored at the conference: Ken Starkman, Kevin Miller and Bryan Albrecht. It was great to see these individuals, all of whom have contributed greatly to the history and growth of SkillsUSA, as well as other pioneers of our program in Wisconsin. Wisconsin has also experienced membership growth this year, and their high school membership is the highest since the 1990 school year. In addition, I was pleased to see that this conference was the largest in the state association's history.
The SkillsUSA Wisconsin Championships was held at the Dell Center Exhibit Hall, the Chula Vista Resort and on a few satellite college campuses in Madison. It was spectacular with over 1,200 competitors and it looked much like a "mini NLSC." There was incredible business and industry support, well organized competition areas and a ton of enthusiasm from student participants, teachers, administrators and business partners. There were excellent advisor recognition sessions and an appreciation reception and luncheon and there was also a nice reception for the SkillsUSA Alumni.
SkillsUSA Wisconsin has the goal of aligning its conference and strategic direction with the national organization. It's really working well for them. Congratulations to SkillsUSA Wisconsin and a big thank you to Brent Kindred, Dale Drees and Lauri Domer for their outstanding leadership and being such great hosts.

Functional anatomy is key. For an organism to be viable, it must be able to live in its current state. In short, every living being must be designed to be complete, entire, and functional... now. If not, the living being would die.
There is no support for believing anything contrary to this fact. You cannot wait enormous amounts of unspecified time for the organism to become viable. It must be viable from the start, or it cannot survive.

Does this bat come in at a 29 inch size?
The 2014 Easton XL3 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14X39) was made in a 29 inch size but is currently sold out in that length.
I am 5 foot 2" and weigh 100 pounds. What size XL3 -9 S3 should I get? .
Based on your height and weight, we would suggest that you get a 31 inch bat like the 2014 Easton XL3 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14X39).
How easily will it dent? Also, under what conditions will it dent?
The 2014 Easton XL3 Senior League Baseball Bat: (SL14X39) will incorporate a very strong THT Scadium Alloy design. This material will not dent very easily, however, certain conditions will increase the risk. Therefore, I would recommend not using the bat in temperatures lower than 55 degrees. Colder temperature increases the risk of the bat denting and becoming defective.
Product Description
New for 2014! The next generation of Power Brigade has arrived. Now in its second season, this groundbreaking line of bats is unlike anything else on the field today. The concept is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series (XL1, XL2, and XL3) and the Speed Series (S1, S2, and S3). The XL Series is designed for bigger, stronger hitters who derive their power from a bat with more mass. Smaller length to weight ratios, and an extra-long barrel with a massive sweet spot and a slight end load characterize the XL Series. The Speed Series, on the other hand, helps players increase their swing speed in order to generate more power. These bats feature lighter length to weight ratios, a lower M.O.I., and a balanced feel. Further trying to equip players with their perfect bat, Easton offers all of its Power Brigade bats in a two-piece IMX Composite/SIC Black Carbon design (XL1, S1), a two-piece IMX Composite/THT100 Scandium Alloy hybrid design (XL2, S2), and a one-piece THT Scandium Alloy design (XL3, S3). Two of the highest performing materials ever used on a bat, Easton's patented IMX Composite optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance, while their THT Scandium Alloy provides solid durability and allows for a larger alloy sweet spot than is seen anywhere else on the field. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology, and you've got a line of bats that can't be topped. Easton: Personalize Your Power! The XL3 features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF Stamp. It is backed by Easton's Exclusive 12 Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Look what followed me home
I'm finally a member of the multiple cub club. I picked up this model 70 last week from a coworker. It's a non-runner But, it has compression on the engine after I put some oil down the spark plug hole. The clutch pedal WONT MOVE at all, Probably due to sitting outside for a few years. Any ideas? As well as a few small parts are missing. Where to start?
The hood is off!!!!!!!

Re: Look what followed me home
Congratulations and welcome to the Multi-Cub Club! (…and the Cub Cadet Club!) It looks like a nice find. I brought home an Original that had been setting for over 10 years and I got it running after a little playing with it.
Just do the obvious first and see where that gets you. Change fluids, clean carb, clean all electrical contacts including points and plug. I would start spraying bolts and cables with PB Blaster or Kroil and letting them soak for when you have to dig in further. Oh, also start soaking the steering wheel nut, removing the steering wheel may be the hardest thing to do on a Cadet! The clutch is probably stuck; plates froze to the discs; that will need to be checked once you get the pedal moving. Also check for mouse nests around the engine area.
You will find they are built solid like a Cub but easier to piddle with (and take up much less space!). Just be careful, they tend to breed!
Good luck and keep us posted,
Re: Look what followed me home
Oh.. Don't forget to clean the gas tank, lines and fuel strainer, it is just a smaller version of what the Cub has. The fenders are a nice option, does it have lights or a sleeve hitch?
Re: Look what followed me home
Thanks Dave, good to hear from ya.. Sorry, no hitch or lights
I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands
Re: Look what followed me home
Better check the serial number on the engine. I'm guessing by the looks of the black paint, that it is an 8-hp replacement Kohler, instead of the 7-hp engine that came in it originally. I'm not sure that the 7-hp engine was offered from Kohler as a replacement very long after these tractors were produced, so every one I've ever seen with black paint was an 8-hp. Not a big deal, you just want to make sure you're following the correct specs when you start working on the engine.
If it were me, I'd try to at least get the engine to fire, so you can find out what condition the engine is in. After that, I think I'd strip that one down and go through it. The tractor looks to be in really good overall condition, but with the years of sitting outside, you'll really need to take everything apart, grind off the rust, lubricate it good, and put it back together. Having done this a piece at a time, I can tell you that it's almost easier to just disassemble the whole thing down to the frame and put it back together. Besides, you can have that one down to the frame in about an hour with an impact wrench and a couple of sockets. Don't bother trying to take the dash tower off, as there's really no benefit to removing it, but everything comes apart pretty easy.

Re: Look what followed me home
There are a couple good Cadet websites that have resources for parts and have site sponsors as well as "for sale" and "wanted" sections. For new parts I have used Carter & Gruenewald Co., they are a new site sponsor for us and specialize in new Cadet parts, kind of the TM of the Cadet world! Ask for Ken and you won't be disappointed!
This one is laid out similar to Farmallcub.com so is easy for me to use:
This one appears to be a bit bigger, and a little more active, just a little more cumbersome to negotiate around for me:
There are several neat threads tracking complete restorations on various models, one I have been keeping up with now is a real first rate job a guy is doing on an Original, customizing it with a newer 2 cylinder engine, incorporating the new and old.
Happy hunting,

Re: Look what followed me home
Me to. And the steering sector while you have it apart.
Remove the case iron front piece, the engine and steering wheel. Then tip the tractor up on it's butt to get to the clutch and remove the steering sector. Jack up one side of the front axle then the other side to get to the front engine bolts.
I get Kohler engine parts from the local autoparts store.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Look what followed me home
The black engine and the size of the air cleaner would indicate it is an 8 hp (K-181) replacement. When Kohler stopped making the 7 Hp K-161 engine, IH went to the K 181 as the standard replacement engine for the 7hp models (Original, 70, 71, 72, 73).
Spray the clutch/brake pedal shaft where it goes through the frame, with PB Blaster or similar until it will move, and then lock the pedal down and pry the pressure plates and clutch disc apart. You can go to the CubCadetCollectors.com site, and at the top of the page click on manuals, then service manual for the model, and you can look at or download a service manual for the tractor.
Re: Look what followed me home
Paul you are right, it is a k 181 8hp replacement...... What color was the original motor? Yellow?
I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands
Re: Look what followed me home
Yes, the engine was yellow from the Cub Cadet factory. Kohler replacement engines are painted black like yours. The only thing white on your tractor would have been the hood, wheels, and seat. The foot rests were black. Everything else was yellow except for decals, handles, steering wheel, etc.

Re: Look what followed me home
Thyese rough looking tractorsare diamonds in the rough. They do turn out to be my best runners. My 104 looked the sameway. But inside she was still brand new.
My 70cc has a new "black" or dark gray replacement 8hp engine. I may remove it and put a 12hp in its place.
I'm technically misunderstood at times i guess its been this way my whole life so why should it change now.

WASHINGTON D.C. -- On Capitol Hill tonight, there may be a deal to bring student loan rates back down. It comes on the same day as a new study of college finances finds big changes in how families pick and pay for college, and what kids study when they go.
At Howard University, in Washington, students say many are shying away from majors like African American Studies, in favor of fields that lead to careers after college.
"I picked sports medicine so I could go into physical therapy because I know that it is a growing field and I can get a job after I get through grad school," said Howard University Senior Rodney Hill.
More graduates will go to work with less debt because there is less reliance on college loans.
Meanwhile in the U.S. Senate, where federal student loan rates were allowed to double, there is a possible deal to drop rates, but still let them rise if market rates go up.
"It's a good step forward in the direction of accomplishing things on a bi-partisan basis," said Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
However, instead of loans at schools like George Washington University in D.C., more kids are turning to scholarships and grants.
"I looked into the school basically that could supply me with the most money, because I live with my mother.
She's single and raising three kids," said student Blake McNulty.
More families are picking colleges based on cost, as noted in Tuesday's report by Sallie Mae that studied college families.
"They are approaching the expense, ah the investment, with cost consciousness we just didn't see before the recession," said Sallie Mae Senior VP Sarah Ducic.
Taylor Davis and her mom had that mindset when they picked Taylor's major.
"Nursing most definitely is a field that's in demand, so I will leave college with a job," said Davis.
One big thing has not changed, 85 percent of parents in the study see college costs as an investment in their children's future.

FRANKFORT, Ky. —
Martin Cothran, spokesman for The Family Foundation of Kentucky, said the ruling proves that Kentucky's votes don't count when they're out of step with the "political ideology of liberal judges."
Paul Chitwood, director of the Kentucky Baptist Convention, called it "tragic and disappointing."
And U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell, who is running for re-election, criticized the ruling even though he had recommended Heyburn for the bench. Heyburn was nominated by President George H.W. Bush in 1992.
McConnell said he supports "traditional marriage" and will continue a fight to ensure "Kentuckians define marriage as we see fit and never have a decision forced on us by interests outside our state."
Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, said his office was still reviewing the ruling.
"I think ultimately it will be decided by the United States Supreme Court," he said.
Rep. Mary Lou Marzian, D-Louisville, told colleagues the public is weary of "wasting our tax dollars to discriminate against our gay neighbors." She noted that she was among 11 Kentucky lawmakers who voted against the 2004 measure, "And we all got re-elected."
For Cortney Langdon, 26, of Louisville, the ruling was both unexpected and exciting.
"I was very shocked," said Langdon, who got the news via text message from her partner, Rachel Longley, 25. The two were married six months ago in Maryland but hadn't expected things to change so soon in Kentucky.
"We were both very surprised," said Langdon. "But we found it a reason to celebrate again, even though it's been six months since we got married."

It is apparently no secret or even a fluke for that matter that these Carolina Panthers can play some defense.
Secret is out: Panthers' defense is crazy good - NFL - Sporting News
The Panthers (6-3) now have the same record as the 49ers, and with the win, an epic two-game series with Drew Brees and the Saints' offense for the NFC South crown. Given what they just did to the 49ers, the Panthers should be very confident about taking down another heavyweight, the Patriots at home in Week 11. Carolina just got its biggest win in the Newton-Rivera era, and the reward is a chance to unleash its defense on Monday night against Tom Brady. Newton has a smile built for the bright lights, but their defense features their real prime-time players.
I am all about unleashing something Monday Night...Hmmm anyone know where I can find a Kraken?! Yes...can you already feel how fired up BoA is going to be Monday Night? Think our boys might be a little fired up too? Wow...
So the word of the day continues to be 'relevance':
Rapid Reaction: Carolina Panthers - Carolina Panthers Blog - ESPN
What it means: Relevance. Big-time. Those who didn't take the Panthers (6-3) seriously before Sunday will now. They won their fifth straight game and sixth in the past seven to go from a possible playoff contender to a serious threat in the NFC. Not only did Carolina win, it proved it can win a big game, and it proved it can win a close big game. Carolina's record in games decided by a touchdown or less was 2-14 -- 0-2 this season -- coming into the day.
RR did finally win a close game this year which int he grand scheme of things HUGE in my book. I had a totally different feeling this time around when we put it back on the shoulders of our defense at the end of the game. I just knew they would make a play and BAM! DF gets the INT.
The recipe for this victory was simple (but not easy) after all:
Carolina defense deserves respect - Carolina Panthers Blog - ESPN
The recipe was simple. It's the same one the Panthers (6-3) have been using all season, and a reason they should be in most games if they continue to do it effectively. Stop the run. Hit the quarterback. Take the ball away. "That's what we do," safety Mike Mitchell said. "That's our game plan every week."
I don't do this often but I think I pretty much nailed in my preview I did with Niner's Nation:
49ers vs. Panthers: Why each team will win - Niners Nation
On defense it is another case of 'Keep doing what you are doing'. The Panthers excel at stopping the run and the 49ers offense obviously leans heavy on their running game. If they can create 3rd and long situations it will give the Panthers a chance to pressure Colin Kaepernick into making mistakes in the passing game. So the battle will be in the trenches, the marque match-up of the game: the 49er offensive line vs. the Panther defensive line. If the Panthers win it will because they win this battle over the course of the game and hold the 49ers well under the league leading rushing average. As we saw in the 49ers two losses, if the 49ers have to rely on the passing of Kaepernick then that plays right into the Panthers defensive game plan.
You do not need to remind me that this formula was extremely obvious even to the casual Panther fan. Let me enjoy the moment in sheer ignorance. ;)
My most nervous moment of the game was not the 4th and 1 at the Panthers 2 yard line. I felt pretty good about that. No I was more worried about this:
Carolina Panthers answer critics, outlast San Francisco 49ers 10-9 | CharlotteObserver.com
"I was so angry up until the ball left my foot on the 53-yarder," Gano said. "I always want another opportunity after a miss."
I love the way he bounced back after his first miss.
For all the accolades sure to come over the next few days I feel confident Rivera won't get caught up in it. He's been there and so he knows how to focus past the spotlight.
"This was big. We're going to enjoy it. It's going to make the flight home a lot easier," Rivera said. "We look forward to getting back to work next week."
So did you know the Panthers also just leaped the 49ers in current playoff position?
Carolina Panthers one of NFL's best after beating 49ers - NFL.com
5. This result could be a key one come late December in terms of playoff positioning. The 49ers now drop to the No. 6 seed in the NFC behind Carolina. San Francisco faces the New Orleans Saints next week in another big NFC battle.
Hopefully the 49ers regroup quickly in time to beat the Saints.
We might have a new motto for this locker room:
Locker Room Buzz: Carolina Panthers - Carolina Panthers Blog - ESPN
Unknown voice: I'm not sure who said them, but the words "survive and advance'' rang through the room as players celebrated their fifth straight win.
It's not exactly the most inspirational motto I've heard but hey if it works for them...
So who thought 'Here we go again' after this little bit of misfortune.
Halftime report: Carolina Panthers - Carolina Panthers Blog - ESPN
Misfortune: The Panthers almost came up with a big play when a late first-quarter punt was tipped coming off the kicker's foot. It turned into a big play for the 49ers as the ball went off the foot of Carolina's Drayton Florence and was recovered by San Francisco. That was converted into a field goal for a 6-0 lead. Missed call: San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis appeared to have been stripped of the football, with Carolina recovering around its own 5 late in the half. The officials reviewed it and, amazingly, upheld the call on the field as an incomplete pass. The 49ers turned that into a field goal for a 9-0 lead.
I couldn't blame DF for that, he didn't know the ball was coming down way short.

Poloskey Eyes Division III Perfection
By Joshua Newman
His face said it all. As I stood outside the wrestling room with Keith Poloskey, who was all dressed and ready for practice, asking him questions with a tape recorder in his face, I could tell his attention was elsewhere. With every answer came a glance to his right to see what his teammates were doing inside. With the last question answered and pleasantries exchanged, he headed inside to join his team and to undoubtedly outwork everyone.
Although he may not admit it, 141-pound All-American wrestler Keith Poloskey seems to be on a mission. With his record standing at 27-0, he is ranked No. 1 in Division III in his weight class (his only losses came when he competed in a Division I tournament earlier this season). Even though his legacy is already etched in stone as the third four-time national qualifier and third three-time All American in the 90-year history of the program, he has had a taste of the national championships before, and wants not only himself, but also his teammates, to go out on top. He is hoping to become the second national champion SC has ever had and the first since heavyweight Jeff Blatnick back in 1979.
"The only thing left is to win a national championship, but ideally I would like some other guys like Billy Ivatts and Mark Mendes to get some All-American status in their last years," said Poloskey.
Poloskey began wrestling when he was in the sixth grade and started to get serious the following year when he competed for his junior high school team. As he continued to progress as a wrestler, he made the normal progression up to the varsity level, and began rocketing to prominence.
Poloskey, who is now a graduate student studying sports management and recreation after graduating this past December with a degree in physical education, also played four years of soccer at SC. He actually came on a visit when he was in high school with his soccer club coach, but after leaving his resume with wrestling coach Darryl Arroyo, he ended up playing two sports. Arroyo knows he will be losing a great competitor when Poloskey's college career ends in a few weeks.
"You're gonna miss any talented kid," Arroyo said. "He's a captain and one of our best wrestlers. He'll be among the (top) echelon of people we've had in our program."
He spearheads a team that completed their dual meet season with a record of 15-9 and was ranked as high as 10th nationally. One may think that a wrestler with this kind of college career at a Division III school maybe could have competed and done fairly well at the Division I level. This is probably true, but the four-year starter wasn't interested in simply competing. He was more interested in having constant success, not to mention his desire to continue on with soccer.
Poloskey, said, "I got recruited by some pretty big Division I programs like Penn State, but I decided to go Division III because I wanted to play two sports. If I had gone Division I, I probably would have gone to a big-name school and had trouble starting until probably my junior year. I wanted to be a starter right away and have success the whole time."
The work ethic of any athlete has to be at a high level in order to be successful. However, we're not talking about any athlete. We are talking about an athlete who has the chance this year to be what every athlete strives to be: perfect.
"He's really stepped up his work ethic; he's been working a lot harder. He's been a two-time All American and knows this is his last shot to win it, and we've seen a big difference in the effort that he has been putting in," said Arroyo.
There are very few questions left to be answered. Nobody asks where his place will be in SC history just as nobody asks why he chose a Division III program. Certainly no one will question his work ethic on or off the mat. The only question left to be answered regarding Keith Poloskey is will he go out a national champion. His final tests will come as he competes in the NECCWA Championship this Saturday and Sunday at Roger Williams, and at the NCAA Division III Championship on March 7-8 in Ada, Ohio.
