Whispers From The Divine ~ March 31, 2012
Your body resonates...
as the magnificent instrument it is
when you live
thru your heart center.
IT is the center
of your personal Universe.
As this new adventure
into consciousness
moment into moment,
you feel enlivened
and exquisite
in the Joy
of the re-new-ing.
Emotions shift
from ego expressions
into deepening expressions
of primary feelings

What is...

This new NOW,
brought into the newness
that truly IS,
is a kind of
spring board
to any

When you awaken...

NOW Is...
different from

It has no past,

NOW has

To enter into the NOW,
you must leave much behind...

in the NOW.
As you begin
to have clarity
of vision,
unhampered by
these old filters,
remaining awake
becomes easier
and easier.
There is less in thought
to draw you
into the mind.
True peace comes
when the mind
is clear
and you dwell
Heart Space centered.
This is truly
the space
and place
of Open-ness...
I will be away without computer till the 29th.
See you then

Paying Life Forward
happens when
the indwelling Divine
inspires you
into action
that supports the NEW.
Today's message arising in me
is directed to you, the reader.
If you have benefited in any way
from reading these daily messages,
I am asking you to pay this energy forward.
We are in a year of great change
and much can come about magically
as we each participate
in living out inspired actions
into the world.
I am asking you to do something life changing
for three people (just like in the film).
When you give them their life changing gift,
they are to pass this energy/action forward
to 3 other people....
and they, in turn, are to do the same....and so on...
You will know who ...and what to do. It will arise within you
just as this message is arising within me.
We are Divine conduits for change in our world.
The time for being the observer in life is over.

No reply, thingy, Carol. Illusions does sound familiar, but I can't place it at the moment. Yes, it does seem that when something we read (or discover in other ways) really resonates with us, amazingly, we will start to find manifestations confirming its connection and relevance to us--that is, if we're open to receiving them. Life is always teaching us new and interesting things. Blessed be dear heart, Love and Light always, Dot
No reply thingy, Dorothy.
Have you ever read any of Richard Bach's books? He is the author of Illusions. He also authored Jonathon Livingston Seagull, One, Bridge Across Forever....just to name a few.
Illusions is the story of a reluctant master who is a pilot...and learns his spiritual lessons thru flying. The master teaching him, one day shows him about manifestation...and what is being manifested is a blue feather.
Since reading that book I have had blue feathers show up in many interesting places just to confirm following thru and that I have successfully followed thru....it has almost been like a magical game that the child in me delights in!
If you haven' read the book, I know you will enjoy it. It has been our for some time so you can just borrow it from a library.
Playing the joyous game of life with you ... all ♥ Carol
Lyndy, Dorothy, Catherine and all our sweet Whispers Family...
I am so in awe as I read the responses. They take me into new horizons of awareness and beyond anything anticipated or dreamed of...
Yes Lyndy...I am so in resonance of all you whisper to us from your musical Heart Space. I so agree that the One expands as we expand....and it happens thru resonance.
I was meditating this morning on our Chakras and why it is that we feel inclined to open and close them. Why not just be open ? I can hear a cacophony of sound..well it is because of negative vibrations...not to let them in....yet when you study music as a resonance there is always a dissonance that moves into a harmonious resolution. Is that not also the way of life in general.... All has resonance.
I began considering how I experience people...some I feel such a wholeness with ...others I feel only an openness between certain Chakras. I had never quite thought of relating in quite those terms before yet I can think of instances when I could feel someone was "pushing my Chakra butttons". It had me delving deeply into memories of how we "feel" the energies/resonance of each other in relationships. When we feel hurt, we close...and when we feel joy we open... Yet during the times we feel hurt and really need to open to have the Universal flow supporting well being in us is when we close down.
You speak of trust, Lyndy.
I began to think in terms of our experiences with self and others...and it is when we hold hope near that we are willing to open to a situation. Faith allows us to do it without past history interceding. Trust is the ever expanding results of the allowing and willingness to be open to receive.
I so love the richness in the art you posted here. Even the colors speak clearly of our passage from the third to fourth Chakra energies. This picture is just loaded with symbolism that speaks gently of the Divine feminine and our passage from the living in our ego self (third Chakras that is learning the lessons of self empowerment) into the shift of moving into our Heart Space, allowing our ego selves to take it's right-ful place in our systems. It is not about destroying or getting rid of our ego self but shifting our conscious focus into experiencing thru our Heart Space. It is also the shift from individuality into experiencing Oneness...the difference between standing apart... and holding hands.We have stood apart to real-ize self hood...and now it is time to Real-eyes SELF-hood with our Beloved Divine Self.
Thank you Dear Ones for this treasured time together ♥ Carol
We have stood apart to real-ize self hood...and now it is time to Real-eyes SELF-hood with our beloved. Oh, wow, Carol--this is so beautiful and so very insightful--so much to think about here. Even though I could never have phrased it as poignantly as you have, I understand what you're saying. Thank you for sharing such beautiful insight, dear heart, Blessed be, Love and Light, always, Dot
Dorothy, Starflower and Whispers family...
Thank you Dorothy, for your sweet words of appreciation.
For the past while, messages are coming to me about completing third dimension lessons having to do with ego and self empowerment and self love so that we might fully shift our consciousness with Gaia and live thru our Heart Space.
This last comment I wrote was a little of it.
Love's sweet blessings to you all. ♥ Carol
These messages must be fascinating as well as comforting to you, Carol. How wonderful that you are receiving them--I so much appreciate your sharing them with us. They are truly awesome. Blessed be, dear heart, Love and Light, always, Dot
Hi Dorothy ~
Yes...I find them both...
It is my Joy to share what I receive. I know that what Is said here is said many places as well by others. I also recognize we each come from a unique perspective and perhaps I can say things in a way some one can easily receive it...so I do it in Joy and am grateful that there are those who love receiving that I may have the honor and joy of gifting. ♥ Carol
No reply thingy, Carol--As our Divine Whisperer, You most certainly do say things in a way that is easy for us to receive. Your word gifts are so beautiful, so poignant--they are easily understood, and they touch the heart. We are most grateful for them. Love and Light, always, Dot
Dorothy...thank you for your sweet words of acknowledgment and appreciation. Your words touch me deeply...and I am blessed with joy.
Love's rich blessings to you dear heart ♥ Carol
Dorothy, Carol and All Whisperers,
I am so excited to read what you wrote Dorothy, though I could not locate it in the actual whispers, that "it is time to Real-Eyes SELF-hood with our beloved."
Everyday, feelings of love deepen for us, as if our Beloved is revealing the I Am All of You presence. It is like a reversal of sequential separation where love unites us all into the petals of a flower, into the feathers of a bird, into the wisps of cloud appearing and disappearing the sky, into the leaves on a tree, into the whispers whispered which carry the gentle wake up to a new way of living as love.
We are all used to trying, to doing our best, to facing the odds, to standing up and falling down and getting up again. Yet, our Beloved embraces all this as energies of being. For a long time, I chose to do my best and try for the good of all, and one day I sent some conscious Love to nature then, watched a tremendously huge circling of more than 70 hawks, right over our home, and I knew that Nature was saying hello, in answer to love. It was a magical moment and I stopped worrying so much about effort, and started watching for magic. That was a subtle shift, and it changed my view to looking for love, and finding it wherever I looked.
Your discussion of ILLUSIONS reminded me of this. That was a magical book with a gift of seeing included. I am certain many blue feathers made their appearances after that! And further, looking back and now, you see what you are looking for. You weave your perspective of together by the values you look through.
There is no way any one of us is looking, thinking and being, alone. We all have read, heard, been taught, discussed and deepened our motion as life to come to greater senses of union. Family and friends, lovers and strangers are all of our real eyes looking at the nature of love together.
And nowhere do I see love more completely than when I look into Nature. I have read that Nature is the soul of matter. Nature is our Divine Nature, face of our Beloved.
Thank you all for the beautiful love you make as the world. I feel very happy and safe when I nest in the Whispers and fly in the heart sky.
Here's to the Beauty of the Earth and the Wonder of the Heavens, our fields of dreams,
Such beautifully poetic words, Lyndy--I so love your saying that you feel very happy and safe when you nest in the Whispers and fly in the heart sky. What a beautiful concept. I feel comforted wrapping my Whispers around me like a warm, cozy blanket and taking them into dreamland with me when I go nite-nite.
Yes, Lyndy, "it is time to Real-Eyes SELF-hood with our beloved" is in one of the Whispers, but I'm not sure exactly which one. It certainly says it all, doesn't it? Very profound. Yes, it is so very true what you say about Nature being our Divine Nature, face of our Beloved. And, as you say, we are never alone. Our Beloved is always with us, guiding us, blending with us, becoming a part of us completely--as our Beloved always was and always will be. And so it is with us. Blessed be dear heart, Light, always, Dot
Lyndy--I just real-ized that the Real-Eyes pharase we were talking about is right above us on this page. It's not in the actual Whispers, but in one of Carol's replies. Of course, it could get shifted around depending on replies and page space, but it's here. Happy reading dear heart, Love and Light, always, Dot

The economic horizon was rosy in 2007. Wall Street was riding high, and investors were bullish on the future of the economy.
In this environment, many businesses, schools, nonprofits and other entities took on debt for new facilities and other projects to expand their reach and capitalize on growing public demand for goods and services.
Then, in December, the recession hit. And hit hard.
As unemployment rose, the stock market contracted, putting the squeeze on investors. Suddenly, some of the investments that seemed like well-calculated risks earlier in 2007 became problematic. Companies defaulted on loans and declared bankruptcy, and many of the projects they had planned stalled or were left to dry up as the economic tides receded.
Here in Madison County, we felt the pressure of the recession acutely. Unemployment rose above 12 percent, and many who could find work had to settle for jobs that paid a fraction of their former wages. Businesses and the real estate market suffered.
The recession officially ended in June 2009, but its repercussions continue to echo in Madison County, which was already reeling from the failure of the American auto industry.
Before the recession hit, Madison Park Church of God took the bold step of building a new mega-church on the outskirts of Anderson, with visibility from Interstate 69. The church had outgrown its previous location along Scatterfield Road and was looking to spread its wings. To purchase 200 acres near the interstate and build the beautiful facility, the church took out a $17.5 million loan, backed by the sale of bonds.
The new church facility, with its gorgeous lobby and splendid auditorium, as well as other amenities, was instantly a jewel of the community. But it was costly, and when the economic roof collapsed during the recession, church leaders could see difficult times ahead. A $5.8 million balloon payment on the loan loomed in July 2012, and suddenly there was no market for the properties that Madison Park had planned to sell to finance the lump-sum payment.

Just as a golfer pulls out his favorite club when facing a tough shot, so do golf writers pull out Willie McRae when trying to broaden their subjects appeal.
Why wouldnt they? McRae has a remarkable story to tell, and he loves telling it.
He is 81 and still caddies at Pinehurst 70 years after he started, but longevity is not his claim to fame. Oh no. His story is fascinating even to people who, like I, dont know a divot from a duck hook. (Real golf terms I looked up for this story.)
Heres why. The man has carried the bags for and handed putters and drivers to four U.S. presidents, countless golf legends, business titans and everyday Joes who deign to slap around some dimpled balls on the famous course.
On the Bag
Heres another reason: The dude who once was barred from playing at Pinehurst Resort because he is black is now in its Caddie Hall of Fame and has a son who is the course pro there. His grandson is a caddie.
I talked with McRae last week during the U.S. Open, as he signed copies of his biography, On the Bag, written by Rob Taft. Find it at www.stevenspublishingcompany.com.
As McRae chatted with people, John Wolfangel, the books publisher, cited the presidents in chronological order. Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon and Ford. Then there were the golf legends he named: Bobby Jones, Arnold Palmer, Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen, Ben Crenshaw, Chi Chi Rodriguez.
What, I asked Wolfangel, made McRae such a sought-after commodity on the links?
He loves people, loves working on the golf course, Wolfangel said. Its a given that hes an excellent caddie one of the best ever.
Any caddie who wants to continue being one knows the importance of diplomacy. Despite prodding from me, McRae stayed true to that caddie code. Cmon, man, I asked, who are some jerks youve caddied for, people you just didnt like, people who ruined a good day on the beautiful course?
He said he couldnt think of any. If youre going to be a caddie, you have to enjoy it regardless of who youre working for, McRae said. Otherwise, you might as well not do it.
Nice and nasty
I asked him, then, about specific historical figures. Nixon?
The best golfer of the presidents, he said.
But what kind of dude was he?
Oh, he was very nice.
Bobby Jones? He was a nice guy. He was a real nice guy.
After talking with him, I found a recent Associated Press interview in which McRae was not diplomatic.
The only person I really didnt like was Sam Snead, he told the reporter. He was one of the nastiest guys that ever played golf.
McRae began caddying at 10, he said, when his father, also a caddie, told him it was time for him to start working and took him over to the Pinehurst course. His dad, he said, gave him one important piece of advice for a caddie, advice that probably works in other areas of life, too: Keep up, shut up.
No wonder everyone wanted him on their bag.
He caddied until he was drafted into the U.S. Army, where he played the game. He was good enough, both Wolfangel and McRae said, to possibly qualify for the PGA tour, but he was ahead of the curve. The first black golfer, Charlie Sifford of Charlotte, wasnt allowed to play on the tour until 1961.
McRae said he hasnt played recently because of various ailments. Im fixing to start back this year.
McRae didnt work the mens tournament last week and doubts that hell work the womens tournament this week. I wont know unless they call me. I ride a cart now, and they wont let me ride it in the major tournaments. I probably could walk it, but them bags are too heavy, he said, laughing robustly.
McRaes knees and back may be ailing, but he could probably lift those 40-pound bags with that hearty laugh and heartier spirit.

I wanna lock up my victory with one more great pickup, (there have been so many, my team is really good ) I would love to pick up Pops Mensah-Bonsu, the F from SA but he isn't even in the database. Just wondering if it is known the time they take to add a player, his first game played was Feb 25th. I think Mensah-Bonsu might be something special, I see him locking down the front with that dude Timmy.

Unlocked Pantech Burst Review: $100 on Ebay New Condition with ICS/Dual Core/4" Screen. Now $120
This is a short review of a Pantech Burst Phone I purchased off of Ebay for $100 shipped. It was sold as new and unlocked. It included the original box and all accessories. This was a no contract phone and originally for ATT. Since it was unlocked, I could use it for T-mobile. No problems connecting bluetooth to my Garmin GPS (and it's old) Pro's: 1.5ghz Dual Core CPU. Can run most things you throw at it. Nice 4" bright screen (even at lowest setting). Speakerphone and sound work just fine. Pretty quick 5mp camera with LED flash. Upgradeable to android 4.0 (ICS) from pantech's website. Unlocked so can use with any GSM sim card. Signal Strength on T-mobile is as good as my old HTC mytouch 4g (if not better) I can hear and talk on my phone just fine. Speakerphone is loud enough for me. Negative: Uses micro sim card. T-mobile now offer's micro sim cards, but depending on who you talk to, they might charge you $5 or $10 for a new micro sim. You can get a card cutter from e-bay for about $5. Bad battery life. If you leave everything enabled, battery life will last less than a day. If I reboot the phone, battery percentage decreases by about 10%. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yjg1frOZQSg Audio might have an echo (works fine for me) Bottom navigation buttons do not recognize well. I installed Button Savior from playstore to address this problem. Touch Screen is okay... not as accurate as an iphone. If you're driving, I noticed that people have a hard time hearing me. They say that I go in and out. I guess call signal is affected when driving. What you would have to do to make this phone run well: 1) Increase battery life by: Rooting phone (VERY EASY) see http://tau.shadowchild.nl/attn1/?cat=9 After root, install Titanium Backup and remove ATT bloatware Install a screen filter found in playstore to decrease screen brightness. Disable auto sync, 4g, gps, and bluetooth. 2) For unresponsive bottom navigation buttons, install 3rd party app such as Button Savior. 3) To increase battery life slightly, install a CPU governor program like SetCPU (after rooting) and decrease clock speed. FINAL REVIEW: I would say this phone a pretty good deal at $100 new. There are ebay sellers that now sell the phone for $120 new. Again you can purchase this unlocked. I bought mine from phonestoreuse UPDATE 2/8/2012. After a month of usage, the phone has started to randomly reboot about once a day. Not sure what's the cause.... maybe it's something simple as an incompatible app or my SD card is dying. Worst case scenario is the phone is dying. I've been noticing more and more 4g locations for T-mobile. Looks like T-mobile is converting over to ATT's bandwidth (or at least using ATT's network)... I'm not sure.. I'm not that in the know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hp2HYG5O_I UPDATE 3/20/2013: Phone has been acting up. For the past month the phone would randomly reboot on its own (every once a day or every other day). Now, it will crash and require a hard reset. I took a video of this. I would not recommend this phone since I've had 2 of these phones and now both of these phones have acted up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep2qeyD9cos Update 3/29/13: I was wondering why my phone would reboot? My phone has no apps running on it.., so why would it randomly reboot. Then I realized.. Heck.. I'm using 4g on T-mobile and more times then not 4g is spotty. Could it be that it's finding and losing 4g data... and this switching from 4g to edge is causing the problem? So far.. using widgetsoid to disable 4g (ie enable 2g only), has made my phone rock solid for the past 2 days... waiting for another day to finally confirm this is the bug. On another positive note, my battery life is great since shutting off 4g. If the random reboot goes away.. I'll definitely give this phone a 2 thumbs up!. Still though, my problem seems to be the exception to the rule, so for under $100 you can get a used dual core phone... with 16gb of storage.. plus option to add more space through sd card.... If you want to save money.. this phone is the way to go.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say an Arizona prison inmate is dead from an apparent suicide at an off-site work location in Tucson.
State Department of Corrections officials say 48-year-old Patrick Hoppes was pronounced dead around 3 p.m. Wednesday.
Authorities didn't immediately disclose the manner of death, but KGUN-TV reports that Hoppes was found hanged at the Pima Animal Care Center in Tucson.
Corrections officials say an investigation into Hoppes' death will be led by the DOC's criminal investigation unit in consultation with the county Medical Examiner's Office.
Hoppes was serving a sentence of 9 years and three months for trafficking in stolen property.
He was sentenced out of Maricopa County in May 2009 and was housed at the state prison complex in Tucson.

The China: Language, Cultures, and Ethnic Minorities program includes two different homestays, allowing students to experience daily Chinese life in both urban and rural settings. Other accommodations during the program include hostels, educational institutions, or small hotels.
Kunming Homestay
Students spend two weeks with families in urban Kunming, exchanging cultural information and insights and interests. Through this experience, students gain a far deeper understanding of China's increasingly complex and economically stratified society. When possible, students are placed in homes with families that share common professions and interests related to a student's Independent Study Project (ISP) topic. In many cases, the homestay family becomes an important contact for students as they explore the role of ethnic minority cultures for their ISP.
Shaxi Rural Homestay
In the rural Bai nationality farming community of Shaxi, students experience a more traditional way of life. Students may help their host families with daily chores, including farming, milking, and producing goods to be sold at the local weekly market. Students gain firsthand knowledge of minority cultures and witness the profound changes occurring as a result of increased development and tourism.
Duration: 15 weeks
Program Base: Kunming
Language Study: Chinese

Chris Cooper examines belts, squat suits and knee wraps for CrossFit athletes.
This year at the CrossFit Games, athletes will bolster their courage with meditation, concentration, HTFU and sometimes prayer.
Some will also brace their backs with leather, their wrists with reinforced nylon or their asses with polyester briefs.

Bill Starr recommends a host of exercises to build a strong upper back and neck.
For those athletes who participate in contact sports, such as hockey, lacrosse, football and soccer, having a strong neck is an absolute must. It can mean the difference between getting a stinger in the neck after a head-on-head collision or being carried off the field and into the emergency room.

Bill Starr explains why the feet are the key to almost any lift.
Oddly enough, few strength athletes think about their feet when performing an exercise—but they should.
Seldom do people even think about their feet unless something goes wrong with them. Stub a toe badly and you will suddenly understand how important that part of your foot is for locomotion and any other athletic movement.

Contact: Joe Carr 207) 581-3571
ORONO, Maine — University of Maine professor and former Black Bear football coach Walter H. Abbott is being recognized for distinguished service by the National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association. Abbott, whose teaching and coaching at UMaine since 1960 has trained and influenced thousands of students, will be honored Dec. 18 in Orlando during the annual National Conference of High School Directors of Athletics. The conference is conducted jointly by the National Federation of State High School Associations and the NIAAA.
The Distinguished Service award is presented annually to recognize length of service, special accomplishments and contributions to interscholastic athletics. Nominated by the Maine Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association, Abbott is one of 14 individuals nationwide and one of four from outside the field of athletic administration to receive this year's award.
The nomination describes Abbott as a role model and mentor who has dedicated his life to helping others achieve their goals. It notes that "No single person has impacted as many coaches and teachers in our state as Walter Abbott. Even after 45 years of teaching, he still has the energy and passion to give to any student, athlete or coach in Maine. Whether at a school, a community or a state event, he has always given of himself. This gentleman is a living legend."
Abbott is associate professor of Kinesiology and Physical Education in UMaine's College of Education and Human Development, where he specializes in the areas of the coaching profession, physical fitness, and outdoor leadership, safety and rescue. He has been a Registered Maine Guide since 1974.
"I am so pleased that the NIAAA has chosen Walt Abbott as a recipient of the Distinguished Service Award. It couldn't be more fitting," says College Dean Robert A. Cobb. "Over the years, the strength of his influence in developing coaches has earned him a veritable legion of coaching proteges across the northeast who still contact him regularly to discuss all aspects of coaching and of sports in general. Whether it concerns player development or team tactics and strategies, he has seen it all and done most of it. He has learned from his vast experience as a coach and a trainer of coaches and has been ever so willing to share that expertise with anyone and everyone."
A Rumford native, Abbott was an outstanding high school football player and at the University of Maine gained a reputation as a strong offensive guard and defensive linebacker. Abbott graduated from UMaine in 1958 with a degree in Resource Economics and also earned a master's degree in Education. He started his career at his alma mater in 1960 as an instructor in physical education and assistant football coach. Abbott became the Black Bears' head coach in 1966 at age 30, one of the youngest collegiate gridiron coaches in the nation. He led the team through the 1975 season, when he relinquished the post to devote full time to teaching and to building a campus-wide physical fitness program. Abbott's experience, leadership and statewide respect twice — in 1991 and 1994 –prompted UMaine presidents to call on him to serve as acting athletic director with full authority and responsibility of the position.
Convinced that quality athletic and recreation programs at all levels are a vital part of the total educational experience, Abbott, throughout his years at UMaine, has continued to be actively involved in improving high school athletics statewide. Most recently, he led the development of an online coaching education course for the Maine Center for Sport and Coaching, and as part of a statewide select panel helped craft the Sports Done Right report, a national model for shaping and sustaining the best possible learning environment for interscholastic and youth sports.
Abbott's commitment and service have been recognized with awards such as the UMaine Alumni Association Block M Award, the Maine Association of Health Physical Education, Recreation and Dance Highest Praise Award, and the National Football Foundation State of Maine Chapter Contribution to Amateur Football Award. Abbott and his wife, Carol, live in Orono. They have three children and three grandchildren.

---- — SOUTH BURLINGTON — The Clinton County Junior Mariners didn't have many hits Wednesday, but Andy Kneussle and the defense proved that the ones they did get were enough.
Kneussle struck out nine in a complete game pitching performance in the Junior Mariners 4-1 victory over the Vermont Outlaws.
"Andy Kneussle, in the last 13 innings, has only allowed on fly ball," Clinton County coach Gary Duquette said. "He does an excellent job at keeping the ball down in the zone and inducing ground balls. He is off to a heck of a start."
Quenton Barber belted an RBI single to open scoring in the third inning for Clinton County (9-1). Nate Stanton added a sacrifice fly that scored the game-winning run.
Caleb Keysor finished with a single and an RBI on a squeeze bunt in the sixth inning to provide an insurance run. Blake Altizer, Shawn Courson and Dan Hartman all finished with a single.
The Junior Mariners had a strong game defensively, particularly from Ryan Whalen. Whalen turned a triple play in the second inning.
After the Outlaws had runners on first and second from a single and a hit-by-pitch, Whalen dove to catch a line drive, tagged second and threw the ball to first for the triple play.
"Ryan Whalen played great defense (Wednesday)," Duquette said. "He had two putouts and had four other assists at second base.
"We didn't swing the bats that well, but we did get a number of walks and stole eight bases. Our team speed kept pressure on their defense the whole day."
Will Potter suffered the loss on the mound for Vermont.
The Junior Mariners are back on the diamond Saturday for a doubleheader against the Saratoga Stampede starting at 1 p.m. at Lefty Wilson.
Junior Mariners 4, Vermont Outlaws 1
Jr. Mariners 002 002 0 — 4 5 2
Vt. Outlaws 000 100 0 — 1 4 2

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) – The first pick in the 2012 NBA Draft was decided in April. Or March. It's Anthony Davis of Kentucky.
It's time to make your first 10 draft selections – and we're all going to get the first one correct.
After that?
"Good luck," said Jim Clibanoff, president of ClibHoops, an NBA scouting service.
"It is kind of muddled," Clibanoff said. "It is a really hard decision to make (at two). It comes down to what your team needs. I'm really torn. You've got some one-year players and you've got this three-year player (Thomas Robinson of Kansas) who's a rock on the glass."
"It's not a draft of a lot of superstars," ESPN analyst Jay Bilas said. "It's a draft that has really good depth of good players."
Toss these six names – Robinson, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Harrison Barnes, Bradley Beal, Damon Lillard and Andre Drummond – into a size-14 sneaker. Grab your blindfold. Take your chances.
The Draft begins at 7 p.m. Thursday from the Prudential Center in Newark, N. J. ESPN televises the party.
Here are my Top 10 selections – and where all six UK players will land. If you've got a better forecast, share it before the show, not after. Please e-mail your best predictions to firstname.lastname@example.com. I promise to recognize the e-mailer with the best picks.
Let's get started – with comments from Clibanoff and Bilas.
1. New Orleans – Anthony Davis, UK.
"Is he going to be a starter and play 34 minutes a game?" Clibanoff asked. "Yes. Is he good enough to be a producer and a rookie of the year? Yes. Is he going to advance the way (Kevin) Durant advanced in his first few years? I don't see that happening with him.
"But the fact that he can impact a game without taking a shot, the fact that in the Final Four he was the most outstanding player going 1-for-10 in the championship game, that speaks so highly of his ability to do things other than score.
"I would love to be able to fast-forward to see what he's going to be like when he gets more muscle tone in the low post as a scorer. He's a kid who needs to define himself as a pro and that could take one or two years.
"The on-court personality that we saw in that one year is that he's not one of those guys who demands the ball."
2. Charlotte – Thomas Robinson, Kansas. "He's an animal," Clibanoff said. "You know what you're going to get. Heart, blue-collar, rebounding, face-up shooting skills with a guy who can go in there and get you 10 rebounds a game."
3. Washington -- Bradley Beal, Florida. This kid is my pick to be the highest-scoring first-year player next season. Love his stroke. So does Bilas.
"I wouldn't hesitate," Bilas said during a teleconference Tuesday. "I think he's the second-best prospect in the draft behind Anthony Davis … He'd be a great backcourt mate for Kyrie Irving."
Too bad he'll be gone before Cleveland makes a pick.
4. Cleveland – Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, UK. "He's going to be one of those players where over the next four years you're going to see all of his per-game averages increase," Clibanoff said.
"I don't think he'll be a big scorer in the league as a rookie. But I think the motor and the ability to defend gets him on the floor.
"With the work ethic he has, I believe he will steadily progress. He'll give you a defensive mindset. You're not going to have to convince him to defend. He's going to want to do that."
"They don't make 'em like him very often," Bilas said.
5. Sacramento – Harrison Barnes, North Carolina. Something about his performance last season with the Tar Heels screams, "Buyer Beware!" to me. Bilas disagrees.
"He went to the NBA Combine and he tested athletically, literally, off the charts," Bilas said. "He had a 38-inch standing vertical jump. You just don't see that. I really think he's going to be a better pro than a college player."
6. Portland – Damon Lillard, Weber State. Nobody has moved up the draft board faster since the end of the season. Disregard your bias against players from the Big Sky Conference. This is a kid from Oakland, Calif., who shot 41 percent from the three-point line, averaged 8 free throws a game as well as 5 rebounds and 4 assists – while ranking second in the country in scoring. He's legit.
7. Golden State – Andre Drummond, UConn. Anybody who watched him play against Louisville here last winter wouldn't take Drummond in the first 60 picks. Kwame Brown-Lite, a workout wonder with no track record of consistent production.
8. Toronto – Dion Waiters, Syracuse. When did averages of 12.6 points and 2.3 rebounds per game translate into the eighth overall pick? Don't ever use logic in your mock draft.
9. Detroit – John Henson, North Carolina. As long as he doesn't try to shoot over Anthony Davis, he'll be fine.
10. New Orleans – Austin Rivers, Duke. Poor Anthony Davis. He's going to get stuck with a shoot-first point guard with a quick Twitter finger.
15. Philadelphia – Terrence Jones, UK. "I think he matured on the court and showed the ability to play with so much talent," Clibanoff said. "Even though his numbers went down, I think that actually helped him with his overall development.
"A big question for me has always been at the NBA level is he going to be a four (power forward) or a three (small forward). I used to want him to be a three. Now I just consider him a player. If he could actually put a mind to defending, that could help him quite a bit. I could see him putting up big numbers on a bad team. He's got to be mentally committed at both ends of the floor."
26. Indiana – Marquis Teague, UK. "Never did I feel that he had the keys to the car and he was the guy pushing the engine," Clibanoff said. "He wasn't the guy driving the engine to victory (for Kentucky). There was so much talent on the floor that they just didn't mess up.
"I thought he primed himself for a great year two (back in college). Even his brother (Jeff), by playing a second year at Wake Forest, that second year he developed so much more. I don't think he's ready for NBA minutes as a back-up point guard.
"So the question is: Do you have this 20-year-old player as your third-string point guard or does he go to the D-League? I think he's sort of straddling that 30-to-31 area as far as first or second round, and if he fall into the second round, I think he could go to the D-League to learn next year."
34. Cleveland – Doron Lamb, UK. "Why is Lamb any different than Trajan Langdon out of Duke who was a top 15 pick and within three years was playing overseas?" Clibanoff asked.
"I would be amazed if somebody took him in the first round. John Jenkins of Vanderbilt is an appreciably better prospect. He's a shooter. We see a lot of these guys."
46. New Orleans – Darius Miller UK. "Is he a two (shooting guard)?" asked Clibanoff. "Is he a three (small forward)? Is he quick enough? What's his role? I think sometimes you can be the beneficiary of playing alongside so much talent and a team that does so well, that the luster rubs off on you.
"What's the strength in his game that is going to translate to the NBA floor? I'm looking for it. I don't know what it is. There's nothing I watch and get geeked up about."

Brother-in-laws walk for Hospiscare
10:00am Saturday 15th February 2014 in Devon
A MID Devon man is encouraging people to come together for the 2014 Hospiscare Men's Walk to support the local charity who gave 'outstanding' care to both his mother and mother-in-law in their final days.
Peter Firth took part in the 2013 Men's Walk raising more than £750 for local charity Hospiscare.
Peter completed the 10k distance with his brother-in-law Shawn, both walking in memory of their mothers who had died within weeks of each other at the Exeter hospice.
Peter said: "In late 2011, I sadly lost both my mother and mother-in-law to cancer. They were admitted to the Exeter hospice within just a few weeks of each other.
"The level of care provided by Hospiscare was outstanding - nothing was too much trouble for them in their care and support of our mums and our families.
"We found Hospiscare highly professional, friendly and attentive, and we felt that our mums were being very well looked after in their last few days and weeks at the hospice."

An OAL (Harridge) baseball, signed by the entire pennant-winning 1959 Chicago White Sox team. This is one of only two teams (the other being the '54 Indians, also managed by Al Lopez) to interrupt the Yankees string of pennants from 1949 to 1964. This team contained five future HOFers, manager Lopez, shortstop Luis Aparicio, second baseman Nellie Fox, pitcher Early Wynn, and, briefly, Larry Doby. All of the above have signed except Doby (Fox signed as 'Nelson'); other signers include: Norm Cash, Ted Kluszewski, Sherm Lollar, Bubba Phillips, Ken McBride, Sam Esposito, Billy Pierce, Earl Torgeson, Barry Latman, Rudy Arias, Johnny Romano, Earl Battey, Jim McAnny, Jerry Staley, Bill Goodman, Bob Shaw, Al Smith, Turk Lown, Ray Moore, and coaches Ray Barnes, Tony Cuccinello, John Looney and Don Gutteridge. Lopez and Looney share the sweet-spot. Aparicio has signed over Harridge's stamp (very light). For some reason, Minnie Minoso (who was actually not with the '59 team but re-joined them in 1960) has signed this baseball THREE times. Some signatures in different pen (notably Wynn and Lown), indicating a later signature; most autographs in black ballpoint. Signatures rate about a five or six. (2008 PSA/DNA COA)

• The Eagles are 2-3 when they drain more three-pointers than their opponent.
It Takes a Thief
• FGCU's 238 steals last season came in big part because of O'Neil. O'Neil led the way with 48 steals on the season, collecting a season-best six steals against Jacksonville on Feb. 21, 2009.
• This season, FGCU has recorded 213 steals. Chambers leads the team with 41, while O'Neil's 28 thefts are second on the team. Chambers is ninth in the A-Sun in this category.
FGCU Block Party
• Last season, senior Kyle Marks finished second in the A-Sun with 1.65 blocks per game. His 51 blocks led the team, and set an FGCU single season record.

Twice is Nice
• Chambers' steady hand at point guard helped FGCU to its second three-game win streak as a Division I program. For his effort, he earned consecutive Player of the Week awards for the week of Dec. 14-20. For Chambers, this is his third Player of the Week award of his career; FGCU has brought the award back to Fort Myers, Fla. a total of five times since becoming a member of the A-Sun in 2007-08.
• Chambers collected 28 points, 17 assists, 11 rebounds and six steals in FGCU's two wins for the week of Dec. 7-13. Against USC Upstate, the sophomore guard added 16 points to complement his eight rebounds and six assists to help lead the Eagles past the Spartans. In the win against North Carolina Central, the Miramar, Fla., native registered a double-double with 12 points and a career-high 11 assists.
• Chambers became the first A-Sun men's basketball player to win consecutive Player of the Week awards this season. Mercer's James Florence won the last set of back-to-back weekly honors – winning for the first two weeks of the 2008-09 season.
• Chambers became the seventh player in the nation, and second player in the conference, this season to register a perfect shooting night from the field while making at least four 3-point field goals joining Kennesaw State's Kelvin McConnell. When factoring in his seven assists against FIU (12/1209), no player in the nation has combined the shooting performance with the number of assists in a game this season.
Post Season Honors
• Chambers was named to the 2008-09 Atlantic Sun Men's Basketball All-Freshmen team last season. Chambers averaged 8.6 points per game and 10.8 points per game in conference play. He also averaged 2.9 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game, and led the Eagles in assists with 81 on the year.

Worldly Possessions/
This cocktail is a riff on a Manhattan, where Cardamaro rides shotgun with Cocchi Torino Vermouth. The Jameson Irish Whiskey is a good base of mild sweet spice and the Cardamaro adds a earthy depth to the equally herbaceous Cocchi Torino. Cardamaro is an Italian liqueur that is flavored with cardoons, a relative of the artichoke. We recently ate braised cardoons at Navarre, one of our favorite Portland brunch locations and you could really see where the slightly bitter flavor comes from in the Cardamaro. The liqueur is sweet enough to drink on it's own, and is delicious on the rocks with an orange twist as a nightcap.
1.5 oz. Jameson Irish Whiskey
.75 oz. Cocchi Torino Vermouth
.75 oz Cardamaro
2 Dash Amargo Chuncho Bitters
1 Dash Bob's Bitters Vanilla
Add all ingredients to cocktail mixing glass filled with ice. Stir for 45-60 seconds. Strain into old-fashioned glass over large ice-cube.

The University of Northern Iowa Panthers are taking on an all-too familiar foe in the quarterfinals of the College Insider.com Tournament tonight -- the Bradley Braves.
The Panthers took both regular season contests against their Missouri Valley counterparts. On Jan. 12, in Cedar Falls, UNI throttled the Braves 84-53.
In Peoria, on Feb. 10, the game was much closer, but UNI got out with the 68-65 win.
The Panthers do know that it isn't easy to beat the same team three times in one season. After taking both regular season games against Illinois State, the Panthers fell to the Redbirds in the first round of the MVC Tournament.
UNI has posted wins against North Dakota and Illinois-Chicago to get to the quarterfinals of the CIT. Bradley has notched wins against Green Bay and Tulane.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the McLeod Center.

Quin Amundson (center) competed in State Special Olympics Thursday and Friday, June 21 and 22, at Stillwater High School. She captured a gold medal for both the 200-meter walk and 200-meter run. In field events, Quin threw the shot put for a third-place bronze medal. Congratulations to Quin for a stellar state performance! Submitted photos.
Following a most successful and rewarding season, the 2013 Eden Valley-Watkins softball team, fresh off their impressive Third-Place state tournament finish, can lay claim to owning the best record in the history of the program, at 16-5. Though there were many valuable contributions by numerous talented players, coach Dave Dziengel remains a substantial part of the team's accomplishments. His "just do it" attitude and "stay with it" practice methods are the perfect ingredients for a top-notch recipe. Dziengel said that the key to their team's success is team work. Further, he noted that the overwhelming support the girls have received this year has not only been most appreciated, but it has been an integral part of the team's fulfillments.
Eagles abound at the 2013 MSHSL State Softball Tournament in Mankato Thursday and Friday, June 6 and 7, as the Eagles of Eden Valley-Watkins battled the New York Mills Eagles and the New Life Academy Woodbury Eagles, in their quest for the number one title. Falling just short of the state championship game, the Eden Valley-Watkins softball team put on a great show for the fans at Caswell Park in Mankato last week. The girls took the opening game on Thursday, June 6, against a formidable New York Mills team, 4-2. Losing a tough battle to New Life Academy of Woodbury in the afternoon game, 6-4, the Eagles fought back on Friday morning, June 7, to defeat the Kerkhoven-Murdock-Sunburg Fighting Saints, 7-2, and take the Third-Place trophy. The 2013 Eagles saw the best year in the history of the program, posting an overall record of 16-5 and placing third in the state tournament. EV-W coach Dave Dziengel is proud of his team and very appreciative of the overwhelming support. "On behalf of me and my coaching staff, we would like to thank all of the parents, fans, EV-W Lions, the booster club, the administration, media, and everyone that took time out of their schedules to come and watch us play for two days in Mankato. We really appreciate it and we feel fortunate to have such loyal fans."

Eden Valley-Watkins High School senior Hayden Willner will join the select few chosen to play in the Minnesota High School All-Star Series, June 20-22, at Chaska Athletic Park. The All-Star Series, since its 1975 inception, recognizes the best Minnesota graduating seniors from the sport of baseball. Twenty baseball players are chosen to represent their area of the state in a "round robin" tournament, and Willner joins the North squad. The City of Chaska and its gorgeous Athletic Park are the host and venue for all of the festivities, which include a banquet for selected players, coaches, and families, on Thursday evening, and award ceremonies on the field at 5 p.m. on Saturday afternoon. The complete schedule is available at the website: www.mshsbca.org/page/show/823345-2013-schedule-of-events.
The 2013 Tournament is presented by Play Ball! Minnesota, a Minnesota Twins Community Fund and youth organizations partnership, designed to promote and advance the games of youth baseball and softball around the state.
The Eden Valley-Watkins Eagles defeated the New York Mills Eagles, 4-2, at 9 a.m. today, Thursday, June 6. They lost to the New Life Academy Eagles, 4-6, at 3 p.m. today in the semifinal match-up. EV-W will vie for State Third Place at 11 a.m. Friday, June 7.
The team had a grand send-off from the EV-W high school Wednesday at noon, and they had a Fire Dept. escort through Eden Valley and through Watkins on their way to North Mankato. (photo is of the bus on Central Ave. in Watkins)

400ml pint glass at the Craft Beer Market in YEGDT.
This beer appears a solid, light-sucking black, but for the slightest of basal cherry cola 'highlights', with one skinny finger of wispy, loosely foamy, and generally bubbly beige head, which leaves a bit of peninsular lace around the glass as it evenly subsides.
It smells of gritty roasted bready malt, a tint of char, ethereal bittersweet cocoa, raw potatoes (I'm not freaking kidding), a certain stony flintiness, and weak earthy, weedy hops. The taste is chalky cocoa powder, toasted bready caramel malt, an earthy, shall we say, tuber sort of thing, wet dirt, and weak earthy, dead leafy hops.
The carbonation is pretty understated, just a pithy frothiness for the most part, the body medium-light in weight for the purported style, and actually rather smooth, with a sedate built-in creaminess. It finishes mostly dry, the cocoa, roast, and generic vegetal character predominating.
I'll give GIB/Molson full credit for working the titular foodstuff into the eventual flavour profile. A decent enough dry Irish Stout otherwise, the potato just adds that extra bit of weirdness that this brewery seems incapable of providing of late. Were that I could have downed a few pints of this back on St. Paddies Day, just not at this particular joint, God save my soul (sic).
