LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A former University of Louisville football player has filed a lawsuit claiming he was asked to cover up an attack perpetrated by two of his teammates -- and he claims his University and his coach failed to live up to their end of a bargain.
The lawsuit was filed on Dec. 21 in Jefferson Circuit Court by U of L football player Patrick Grant, against the University of Louisville, as well as U of L Football Coach Charlie Strong.
It concerns alleged events that took place on Sunday, Oct. 24, 2010, at 8:30 p.m., when Grant was sitting in the locker room at Papa John's Cardinal Stadium. According to police, 18-year-old brothers Jacob and Isaac Geffrad -- Grant's teammates at the time -- allegedly attacked Grant.
According to the lawsuit, the teammates beat Grant so badly that "he required immediate, urgent care and nearly lost his left eye, the bones around it being fractured."
"His injuries to his left eye area were severe," the lawsuit states. "Several of the bones surrounding it were broken and he was internally bruised. In other words, Patrick had sustained a 'blowout fracture' caused by a blunt trauma to the head. These are generally caused from personal altercations. His eye was bulging too. His treating physician was required to probe around the eyeball without any anesthesia in order to determine the extent of Patrick's injuries."
The suit states that Grant underwent surgery, which included the removal of bone fragments from his face, and the insertion of facial implants to rebuild his face.
The Geffrad brothers were eventually charged with assault and kicked off the team.
A cover up?But Grant claims the alleged assault itself wasn't the only wrong he suffered. According to the lawsuit, Grant was asked to cover up the circumstances of his injuries immediately after they took place.
"On the way to the hospital, the team's trainer told Patrick to lie and cover up the fact that his injuries were at the hands of his teammates," the lawsuit indicates. "Out of fear and desire to play, Patrick lied as instructed, telling the doctor that he was horsing around in the locker room and hit his eye on a locker door."
A short time after his injuries, Grant returned to play football, but had problems with his eyes after taking a "hard hit." The suit states that a doctor told him to stop playing football, unless he was insistent on an NFL career.
The suit states that "in apparent recognition of Patrick's dedication to the football team and everything he suffered at the hands of his teammates and his willingness to play by the 'rules' set by Coach Strong and his staff," Strong promised Grant that his 2011-12 athletic scholarship would remain in place.
"That scholarship would allow Patrick to continue in school in pursuit of a graduate degree in his chosen field: criminal justice," the suit states.
But according to the lawsuit, that scholarship was canceled on Jan. 4, 2012. When Grant protested that the cancellation broke an agreement, Coach Charlie Strong, "simply ended the call and hung up the phone," according to the lawsuit.
The cancellation was a violation of the NCAA bylines, the lawsuit alleges.
Grant is suing, claiming that the University of Louisville breached its contract, and failed to act in good faith when it ended his athletic scholarship. The suit demands that the court issue a declaratory judgment stopping the cancellation of Grant's athletic scholarship and granting him compensatory damages for his perceived wrongs.
A lawsuit represents only one side of a story.
We contacted the University of Louisville for its side of the story, but a spokesman told us the school does not comment on pending litigation.

Additional Order of the Phoenix Film NewsOotP Film
Yesterday, we told you about the CBBC Newsround story on the update on the progress to cast the part of Luna Lovegood for the film Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. Today there is a bit more from Newsround, with some more information about Grawp and a good bit of news about an item found at Grimmauld Place. From Producer David Heyman:
"Grawp will be a fully digital character, giving him humanity is really important. There's some wonderful stuff with Grawp in the script. I'm really excited about that."
JK Rowling is also being a huge help to the production.
David explained: "In the fifth film we have the Black Family Tapestry. In the book there's a bit of information. But in the film we need to fill that out, and she'll provide us with that information."
Director Mike Newell also spoke about some things we can expect on the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire DVD, which will be released next year, noting "Jarvis Cocker and Radiohead play songs which are short in the film, but are in full on the DVD...I've done a director's commentary, of course." Producer David Heyman also spoke of the Goblet DVD saying "There will be some deleted scenes, how we did certain things, how the effects were done and behind the scenes interviews - probably greater access that we've ever had before."
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is released on November 18th. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix begins filming in early 2006 with a release date tenatively set for 2007.

KANSAS CITY -- Brewers manager Ron Roenicke hashed out some of his differences with former Cardinals manager Tony La Russa before accepting La Russa's invitation to be part of the National League's All-Star Game coaching staff.That staff was announced by Major League Baseball on Wednesday and also includes Mets manager Terry Collins, plus La Russa's staff from the 2011 world champion Cardinals. "It's an honor," said Roenicke, who coached third in the 2003 All-Star Game when he was with the defending champion Angels. "Any time you're asked to do something in that type of an arena, then that's an honor. "I had a discussion with Tony La Russa on it. It's hard when you're going so hard against a guy the year before, and now you're going to be on the same side with him, but it should be fun." Roenicke and La Russa had their differences in 2011, Roenicke's first year at the helm and La Russa's last, when the Brewers and Cardinals met for 18 tense games in the regular season, plus six more in the NL Championship Series. Those games included plunkings of Ryan Braun and Albert Pujols, La Russa's contention that the Brewers were manipulating the lighting at Miller Park, a near-fight between Nyjer Morgan and Chris Carpenter -- followed by Morgan calling Pujols "Alberta" -- and Zack Greinke's characterization of Carpenter as a "phony." "We had some battles last year, yes. I'll leave it at that," Roenicke said. "I talked about it, yes, and we're going to talk some more about it."
Seeking runs, Brewers shuffle lineup again
KANSAS CITY -- Seeking a more consistent offense, Brewers manager Ron Roenicke made another significant lineup adjustment Wednesday, moving Corey Hart back down to fifth and installing outfielder Norichika Aoki as the leadoff hitter for the near future.Roenicke drew up two lineups on Wednesday, one with Hart hitting leadoff and one with him hitting fifth. Then Roenicke polled his coaches. "We talked about, if he's leading off, he's going to end up with 50 RBIs this year, and he's one of our best RBI guys," Roenicke said. "So, we're trying to figure out how to score some more runs. We think Corey is a guy we want to drive in runs. "I'm not saying this is going to work. But, if you look at it on paper, it makes more sense to do it this way." Aoki, who has hit himself into regular duty as the right fielder with Hart's move to first base, batted leadoff on Wednesday and stands to remains there over the coming days or weeks.
- 142 wins
- 110 wins
K-Rod 'embarrassed' by recent results
KANSAS CITY -- In 11 seasons of Major League relief work, Francisco Rodriguez says he has never been more frustrated.The Brewers' eighth-inning man spoke about his recent struggles after allowing the decisive run in Tuesday's 2-1 loss to the Royals, and again Wednesday before the second game of the Interleague series. "I'm not executing pitches when I need to," Rodriguez said. "I'm a little disappointed and embarrassed at the same time. I've got my boys out there battling for eight innings, and I'm coming in, just one mistake, and we lost the game. It's not just one game that it happened. It's been the first two months of the season. "In my 10 years in the big leagues, I don't remember [being] this frustrated and not being able to get the job done when I need to." The really frustrating part, Rodriguez said, is that his fastball feels like it's coming out of his hand with more life. That's reflected in data at FanGraphs.com, which says Rodriguez's average fastball is 91.2 mph this season, about 1 mph above last year. Is manager Ron Roenicke concerned? "I'm not concerned for the long run; I'm concerned the way he's pitching right now because, yes, I haven't seen this from Frankie before," Roenicke said. The problem, Roenicke said, is that Rodriguez has not had command of his off-speed pitches.
"He's going to get it going," Roenicke said. "I've seen him too long, his stuff is too good."
Last call
The Brewers finalized plans for three injured players ready to start rehabilitation assignments with Triple-A Nashville. Shortstop Cesar Izturis (left hamstring) will begin playing for the Sounds on Friday and first baseman Travis Ishikawa (left rib cage) will follow on Saturday.
Right-hander Marco Estrada (right quadriceps) will start Saturday for the Sounds, the first of two outings before the Brewers decide whether to reinstate him to the starting rotation. The Brewers expect to announce a number of additional signings from last week's First-Year Player Draft by the end of the week, including a deal with second-round pick Tyrone Taylor, a center fielder from Torrance (Calif.) High School, who had a scholarship offer from Cal-State Fullerton. Club officials cannot comment on any of the pending signings until the players pass physical exams.

Storms can happen anywhere, at any time of the year. They are more common in the ACT during the main period of increased storm activity from September to the end of February, but it's important to be prepared all year round.
Severe storms can cause major damage. They may be accompanied by torrential rain, strong winds, large hailstones and lightning, which can cause flash flooding, unroof buildings and damage trees or power lines. Australia's greatest costs, in terms of insured losses, are caused by storms.
You can also be indirectly affected by storms even if your property is not damaged. If access roads are cut or you have no power or telephone, you need to know what to do - and where to turn for help.
The ACT State Emergency Service (ACTSES) conducts an annual community awareness campaign in September to educate Canberrans about preparations they should undertake to protect their properties during a storm.
This coincides with historically increased storm activity in the region.
In 2013/14 the ACTSES is partnering with NRMA Insurance to deliver the annual ACT StormSafe campaign for the sixth consecutive year.
The campaign is designed to educate you and your family about how to prepare for storms and encourage you to take action to reduce the impact when storms do occur in the Territory.
You can learn more about how to prepare for storms and floods with the storm and flood information guide [.PDF 2 MB] or visit the NRMA Insurance interactive Help House.

My first try at cake pops and this recipe worked well. I used chocolate cake instead of white because I had cupcakes leftover from a batch made the day before. I also omitted the liqueur and added a little extra jam instead. And I used homemade buttercream frosting instead of canned.

HILLSBOROUGH — Orange County Judge Allen Baddour delayed Friday's resentencing of Laurence Alvin Lovette for murdering UNC-Chapel Hill student body president Eve Carson in 2008.
Lovette's attorney, Karen Bethea-Shields, asked that the hearing be postponed because a psychologist the defense team planned to call as an expert was at court in Fayetteville for a different case.
The hearing moves to June 3, when Lovette, 22, and his attorneys will call witnesses and try to persuade the judge that he should not have to spend the rest of his life in prison.
Prosecutors will present evidence arguing Lovette should receive the same life sentence without parole handed down on Dec. 20, 2011, when a jury found him guilty of kidnapping, robbery and premeditated murder.
Carson's brother, Andrew, came to Friday's hearing from Boston, where he lives now. He declined comment on the resentencing.
The case was sent back for a new sentencing hearing by the state Court of Appeals after the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in another homicide case involving a teenager. The nation's highest court ruled in June 2012 that an automatic sentence of life without possibility of parole for people who were younger than 18 when the murder occurred was "cruel and unusual punishment" and a violation of the Eighth Amendment.
States were forced to change laws because of that ruling. In North Carolina, a judge now must hold a sentencing hearing to consider mitigating factors before issuing a life sentence with no possibility for parole if the person convicted of premeditated murder was younger than 18 at the time of the crime.
Although the case ruled on by the U.S. Supreme Court was nearly 13 months after Lovette's trial, the state Court of Appeals ordered that his sentencing be heard again because the case was still on appeal and the life sentence not yet finalized.
Lovette was 17 in March 2008, when prosecutors contend he and DeMario Atwater kidnapped Carson, 22, from her home early in the morning. They forced Carson into the back seat of her SUV, drove her to ATMs and withdrew cash. Carson's body was found near dawn in the middle of the street in a wooded Chapel Hill neighborhood about a mile from her home and the UNC campus. She had been shot four times with a handgun and once with a shotgun. Atwater, who is serving life in prison, for murder, kidnapping, robbery and carjacking, fired the shotgun. Lovette fired the first four shots, investigators said.

Scottsbluff man agrees to plea in sale of drugs at local restaurant
A Scottsbluff man charged with multiple drug counts relating to his alleged sale of methamphetamine from the front counter of a local restaurant will enter a plea to reduced charges.
32-year-old Brian Ross, who was charged with three counts of distributing methamphetamine, will enter a plea to possession of methamphetamine in Scotts Bluff County Court. The Star Herald says the plea agreement was made after Ross agreed to testify in two other drug cases involving four people.
Court documents indicate Ross sold methamphetamine to a confidential informant working with Wing Drug Task Force investigators after the informant walked into Taco Town. The court document says the informant would go up to the counter, give Ross $100, ask for a Coca Cola and then be provided the soda and a bag containing a gram of methamphetamine.
The controlled buys occurred three times: March 22nd, March 23rd and April 5th earlier this year.The investigators placed a digital recording device on their informant each time and a video recording device during the transaction in April.

The Caddo Parish School Board will interview superintendent finalist Agnella Perera on Tuesday.
Perera is one of three finalists that are up for the position.
Perera is currently the superintendent in Isle of Wight, Virginia. That school system enrolls about 5,000 students. Before that, Perera worked as an area superintendent in Houston for about a year. Perera has a masters and post masters degree in administration supervision.
She is a Louisiana native from the Lake Charles area. Perera started as a teacher and moved up to principal followed by administrator, school improvement officer, area superintendent and then superintendent.
She was a finalist in a Florida school district but says she withdrew her application when an opportunity to come was possible. Perera is described as a courageous leader, known on the national level for making changes in her schools. She announced she was leaving her position about two months ago. Around that time, there were some accusations of controversial comments being made by a member of their Board of Supervisors. Rumors started that those comments may have been one reason why Perera may leave Virginia.
The CPSB will interview Perera at 2 p.m. The public is invited to meet her at 3 p.m. at the Caddo Parish School Board in the District Office Board Room located at 1961 Midway Avenue.

Young and High-Risk
Previvor Issues
by Alisa Cowan
Presenters: Rebekah Hamilton, PhD, RN, Assistant Professor, Health Promotion and Development, University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing, and Karen Hurley, PhD, Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Genetics Service, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
Using examples and quotes from her research interviews, Dr. Hamilton presented common issues of high-risk women under age of 40.
Relating to Others
Young previvors face unique relationship challenges. While there is a sense of obligation to be honest because the genetic issue affects the entire family, including future children, there is often a fear of damaging a growing relationship. Should previvors reveal their BRCA status? At what time during a relationship should they do so? Will partners abandon them once they know about their BRCA status? Dr. Hamilton noted that only one of 76 interviewees was abandoned by her partner once she made her BRCA status known.
Out of Sync
Most 20- and 30-year-olds don't think of their own mortality, yet many young women consider their BRCA status to be a death sentence, and they become preoccupied with a sense that life is fragile. Once the initial shock passes, mortality remains on the previvor's mind. Feelings of isolation can develop when they are unable to share these issues with friends who are not at high risk.
Abruptly Changing the Life Plan
Young women at high risk feel a sense of compressed time. Dr. Hamilton found that young women often make choices based on being high-risk, changing or accelerating their life plans. Their BRCA status exerts pressure to decide whether/when to have prophylactic surgeries, and to choose between a career and having children at a young age. One 24-year-old woman said, "My doctor recommended having an oophorectomy before age 35. I feel like I should start [having children soon]… but I don't know if I am ready for that."
Despite the fear of passing the genetic mutation to their children, none of the women interviewed indicated they would forego giving birth because of that fear. There is general optimism that science will provide more solutions by the time their children might have to worry about being high risk.
What It Means to Live with High Risk
Dr. Hamilton summarized the high-risk previvor experience with quotes from participants:
"It isn't cancer; it isn't not cancer. It is something in between."
"Having the mutation can be seen in a positive light. It doesn't have to be the end of the world. Everyone faces circumstances in their lives; this is just another thing that will make us stronger and teach us to grow, if we let it."
Dr. Hurley discussed how young high-risk women who are faced with the challenges of being previvors can remain emotionally healthy while learning about the world and responsibility. She finds that although most people cope well with their genetic test results, young women are particularly at risk for becoming distressed. Common warning signs—intrusive thoughts, nightmares, and physical symptoms such as stomachaches—may indicate that a previvor might need more help or support. She emphasized that women who show signs of distress or who have unresolved grief and bereavement issues should consider one-on-one therapy.
Achieving and Maintaining Emotional Health
Being at high risk is a lifelong situation. Here are Dr. Hurley's recommendations to maintain long-term emotional health:
- Take risk seriously enough to take action without becoming overwhelmed
- Balance chronic and periodic stress. Keep surveillance appointments, for example, without
spending the prior week without sleep.
- Prepare emotionally to make difficult choices, even if you're not ready to make those decisions right now.
- Prepare to address future crises. Unfortunately, previvors may face crises throughout life: false positive screening, relatives who are BRCA positive, or health issues (either their own or of loved ones).
Dr. Hurley's Emotional Health Tool Kit for young previvors:
- Develop a support system. Have people who are attentive and who listen nonjudgmentally.
- Learn to monitor your thoughts. Correct or substitute negative thoughts with positive thoughts.
- Distinguish between what you can and cannot control. You can change your own thoughts, but you cannot change other people's reactions.
- Prioritize enjoyable activities. Balance doctor appointments, work, childcare, and caretaking of others. Plan for fun and recreation to prevent burnout and stress.
- Be aware of your physical and emotional needs. Recognizing your own needs will help you take better care of yourself and articulate your needs to friends and family.
- Set an "information thermostat." Many people deal with threat by gathering as much information as possible. It's important to know when to stop.
- Allow time to make good decisions. Even under the most critical circumstances, most women can afford to take a day or more to decide what is best for them.

I think 50 is too long on a crop for general use.
I got the Sigma 30 f1.4 and love it on my t2i!
I got the Sigma 30 f1.4 and love it on my t2i!
Thanks for your answers and photos.
I would like to know your opinions about how the oof areas behave in the case of the 50 1.4 due to the big apperture and in the case of the 85 1.8 due to its focal lenght (background compresion).
Which lens delivers the more blurred background and the better bokeh?
To your first question, if you're shooting the same composition, the longer lens (85mm f/1. will provide a more blurred background but require more working distance.
No, for the same subject composition the faster lens will blur more, the background objects will appear bigger in the longer lens's image (that is perspective), but they won't be quite as blurred.
Again you are incorrect, or we are talking about the same thing in a different way, the disk will be bigger, but the background object as a percentage will not be as blurred.

HAVERHILL — Police and firefighters raced to Round Pond yesterday evening after a 911 caller reported that someone had fallen through the ice.
Police and fire dispatch received the call at 4:33 p.m., sending rescue teams from the 16th Avenue fire station and Water Street fire station to the Lawrence Street side of the pond, where the caller said someone had fallen through the ice. The search began with firefighters scanning the surface of the pond using binoculars, said fire Lt. Peter Schena.
Schena said Engine 2 from the 16th Ave. station along with Rescue 1 and a hovercraft from the Water Street station were involved in the search under the command of Fire Deputy Robert O'Brien.
Firefighters in a hovercraft began searching for signs of breaks in the ice in the area of the water pumping station on the Lawrence Street side of the pond, then expanded their search across the pond to the Concord Street side. Schena said they were unable to find any breaks in the ice, which he said would have indicated someone may have fallen through. Rescue workers did come across several frozen-over ice fishing holes, Schena said.
He did not have an estimate as to the thickness of the ice on the pond yesterday.
"There was no indication of anyone going through the ice," Schena said shortly after 5 p.m. as rescue workers were preparing to clear the scene.

Huntsville Police said a man is seen clearly on surveillance video doing some shady business at the BB&T Bank branch on South Parkway in Huntsville October 12, 2012.
Police said this guy went to the BB&T branch on the parkway and got a couple of counter checks. He had the victim's ID and account number.
The man brought those checks back to the BB&T to the branch on Pulaski Pike, and according to police, cashed a couple of checks.
We're not talking about petty cash either.
Police said he cashed two checks in the victim's name totaling $11,500.
You could be cashing a pretty big check if you know who this guy is. Phone in your anonymous tips to 256-53-CRIME or send an anonymous text or e-mail by clicking on the Huntsville Area Crime Stoppers link.

When I was in high school, our football teams were not known for their winning seasons, but our band was great and the cheerleaders were full of spirit.
Some people came to the games just to watch the band perform and then leave.
But in the stands for Angleton High School were die-hard Angleton Wildcat fans. They were there no matter the weather, the distance they had to travel, or the teams' season record. Many were there even after their kids were long gone from high school.
In two short weeks, high school football kicks off for another season.
And those die-hard fans in Angleton, the Crossroads and all over Texas will be heading to the stadiums to cheer on and support their football teams, bands, drills teams and cheerleaders.
This year as part of the Advocate's coverage of the Crossroads' football season, we plan to feature a school's top fan each Friday.
This is the fan who is dressed in school colors all day long, not just at the games, who knows all the players by name, cheers them on in good plays and bad, and who is there supporting all the students who take part in the experience of Friday night football.
This fan's voice is recognizable from above the roar of the crowd. Or maybe they have a signature celebratory response like blowing an air horn or clanging large cow bells or maybe even holding up a piece of fencing when the defense is on the field.
We want to know who is your team's biggest fan and what makes them the best. Of course, we want to know how to reach them so we can do their story. So include in your nominaiton, their name and daytime phone number as well as your name and contact information.
Two of the few requirements are the fan must be still alive and must be planning to attend games this season.
We are looking for top fans for the public and private high schools in Victoria, Goliad, DeWitt, Lavaca, Jackson, Calhoun, Refugio, Wharton and Matagorda counties.
Send your nominations to firstname.lastname@example.com, put Biggest Fan in the subject line; by fax to 361-574-1220, attention Newsroom Biggest Fan; hand deliver it to the newsroom at 311 E. Constitution St.; or mail to the Victoria Advocate, attention Biggest Fan, P.O. Box 1518 Victoria, Texas 77901.
We look forward to getting your nominations soon so we can select who will be featured.

The Great Easter Egg Hunt
There's no yolk blowing or hard-boiling required for this egg project, and your guests can enjoy their one-of-a-kind T-shirts long after the holiday is over. An oval is stamped onto shirts ahead of time, so the tees are ready when your party guests arrive. Here's how to prepare the shirts so your party guests can get busy with puffy paint and fabric markers.
Craft Materials:
- Pencil
- Paper
- Scissors
- Thin craft foam sheets
- Tacky glue
- Wooden block or squares of thick cardboard
- Plastic bag and cardboard to fit inside T-shirt
- Prewashed cotton T-shirts
- Paintbrush
- Fabric paint
- Puffy fabric paint and fabric markers
Time needed: About 2 to 3 Hours
- To make an egg stamp, draw an oval onto a sheet of paper. Cut it out. Trace it onto 2 sheets of craft foam. Cut out both eggs, glue one atop the other, then glue the pair onto the wooden block or several stacked squares of cardboard (the double layer of foam lets you apply paint to the stamp without getting any on the block). Let the glue dry.
- Wrap the plastic bag around the cardboard and slip it inside the T-shirt to prevent paint from leaking through to the shirt's back.
- Using a paintbrush, evenly coat the egg stamp with the fabric paint. Making sure the shirt's surface is smooth and flat, press the stamp onto the shirt. Allow the paint to dry for a few hours or overnight.
- At the party, let kids decorate the eggs with puffy paint or fabric markers. Tip: Use reinforcement labels as stencils for polka dots.
Easter Brunch Pizza
This perennial party favorite gets a makeover for a midmorning meal. The biscuit-crust egg lets your kids get creative with decorations made from veggies and other favorite toppings.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 (16.3-ounce) tube buttermilk biscuit dough
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
- 1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
- Toppings for decorations (we used red, yellow, and green peppers, red onions, and cooked breakfast sausage)
- Remove the dough from the tube and separate it into biscuits. Pull apart each biscuit to make 2 thinner, even layers. Place all the dough pieces on an ungreased cookie sheet and flatten them gently, gradually molding them together to form a single egg shape.
- Bake at 350° for 8 minutes, then remove the crust from the oven and let it cool.
- Mix together the oil, parsley, and garlic in a small bowl. Brush this mixture over the cooled crust. Cover the crust evenly with the mozzarella, then sprinkle a layer of Parmesan on top.
- Add toppings to create stripes, polka dots, and other accents so that the pizza looks like a decorated egg (a great job for kids). Return it to the oven until the cheese is melted, about 5 to 10 minutes. Serve warm.
Scrambled Egg Nests
In these easy and charming bites, shredded potatoes are baked in a muffin tin to form crunchy cups, which are then filled with scrambled eggs to make a festive and kid-friendly finger food. Here's how to make these delicious brunch items.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 (3 1/2-cup) bag frozen shredded potatoes, defrosted (we used Simply Potatoes)
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil or butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 6 eggs
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/2 cup finely diced onions
- 1/3 cup finely diced bell peppers
- 3/4 cup diced cooked breakfast sausage Shredded Cheddar
- Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
- Heat the oven to 400°. In a large bowl, toss together the potatoes, 1/4 cup of the oil or butter, salt, and pepper. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the potato mixture into each cup of a 12-serving muffin tin. Press the mixture into the bottom and up the sides of each cup, then bake until golden brown, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the nests from the oven and allow them to cool.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs and milk. Heat a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the remaining oil or butter to the pan and heat. Add the onions and peppers to the pan and saute until both are soft and the onions are slightly golden, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until heated through. Add the egg mixture and stir until the eggs have set and small curds have formed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the potato nests from the muffin tin and place them on an ovenproof platter or cookie sheet. Fill each cup with some of the egg mixture, top with a sprinkling of the cheese, and place the nests in a 375° oven until the cheese is melted, about 2 to 3 minutes. If you like, garnish each nest with a little parsley. Serve warm.

It's that time of year again. Baseball season has started, the weather is warming up (off and on anyway), days are longer and kids have decided that it is time for school to be over. Now that the kids can play outside for longer periods before it gets dark, getting them to come inside to do their homework has become a major battle. I feel like I am becoming more of a drill sergeant than a mother. Although, to be honest, I tend to be a fairly wimpy drill sergeant. I'm pretty sure that a real drill sergeant wouldn't put up with "I will do it in a minute," "Can I just wait until this show is over?" "My arm is sore, I need to ice it first before I start writing."
It is like the movie Groundhog's Day though. The next day we are back to the same old thing.
I have tried all sorts of things: making him do the homework as soon as he gets home, giving him a few hours break and starting later, letting him set the time to do his homework and letting him deal with the consequences of not doing his homework. All of these things can be successful for certain kids.
Of course, some kids will actually do their own homework without being told to do it at all. I do not have that child, however. I have the child who thinks that school is a devious plot that I devised just to ruin his life. Apparently, he feels that it is his destiny to fight our attempts to fill his head with knowledge. It is much more important for him to have room in his head for memorizing the theme song to Spongebob Squarepants or keeping track of his penalty minutes in hockey.
Obviously it is ridiculous for me to want him to learn something as useless as figuring out the length of a rectangle when he has so many girls whose phone numbers he needs to memorize.
My current homework strategy is to use a timer. If he focuses on homework for 20 minutes, he can have 20 minutes of break where I won't nag him at all. We repeat this until homework is done. In reality he usually just finishes up after the first break because he realizes he is almost done anyway and if he finishes he doesn't have to be bothered about it anymore.
This logic sounds strangely familiar to me (this just reinforces my belief that everything I say to him just goes in one ear and out the other). It is working for the time being, however, and that is all that matters to me.
That's all we can do, just keep trying until something works. Eventually he will become more mature and become more responsible. From what I hear, that may happen…sometime in his 30s.

UPDATE: Joseph Lhota, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, will resign at the end of the year, according to a statement from the MTA.
Lhota has submitted his letter of resignation to Gov. Andrew Cuomo. His resignation is effective at the end of the day on December 31, 2012.
The former deputy mayor will have officially served as chairman and CEO for less than a year. Cuomo appointed him in October 2011, he assumed leadership duties as executive director on November 14, 2011, and was confirmed by the Senate as chairman and CEO on January 9, 2012.
Lhota, a Republican, is expected to run for mayor in 2013.
The New York Times on Tuesday first reported Lhota's plans.
The MTA board voted to elevate member Fernando Ferrer to vice chairman. When Lhota steps down, Ferrer, a former Bronx borough president, will assume the duties of acting chairman of the board until the Senate confirms the governor's nominee.
EARLIER REPORT: MTA Chairman Joseph Lhota guided the agency through Superstorm Sandy, the worst natural disaster in New York City's transit history. He was praised for getting subways and buses back up and running within one week after the storm.
Now Lhota is stepping down to run for mayor, according to a New York Times report.
Lhota has already notified Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who appointed him to his current post just over a year ago. He is expected to officially resign Friday and then put in his bid as the Republican candidate.
But some say he could have a tough go of it because democrats outnumber republicans more than 6-to-1 in New York City. With that said, the mayoral seat has not been filled by a Democrat for 18 years.
A former deputy mayor under Rudy Giuliani, Lhota, 57, and his agency received high marks after sandy. A Qunnipiac poll shows that 75 percent of voters described the MTA's storm response as "excellent" or "good."
Before taking over the MTA, Lhota was executive vice president for the Madison Square Garden Company.
The Army has identified the soldier who barricaded herself in a building at a Virginia base and then fatally shot herself in the head. Fort Lee officials on Wednesday say it was 33-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Paula M. Walker of Yonkers

If you think you have to go to a big city to find unique, hand-crafted gifts created by talented artisans and designers...well, you actually don't have to travel that far.
One-of-a-kind holiday gifts can be purchased by small and up and coming business owners in and around Jackson.
"This is original you're not going to find it anywhere else you're not going to see any prints. I mean this is one of a kind," said Kira Cummings, a local Jackson artist with a passion for wood burning, painting and wire sculpture.
"It's a very exciting process," said Cummings.
Cummings is one of several artists and small business owners showcased throughout Jackson's Midtown neighborhood for the "Midtown Holiday Studio Tours." The event coincides with "Small Business Saturday," when consumers are encouraged to take advantage of buying local.
"These kinds of events really help them as far as their annual income," said Whitney Grant, the Creative Economies Coordinator for Midtown Partners, Inc.
Shopping local is nothing new for Jackson resident Mary Clay Morgan.
"The necklaces were very reasonable and they're real stone and silver and very pretty and different and something unique you won't find in a mall somewhere," said Morgan.
Shopping local also brings together the best of the new and the old. Take for instance the shop "Vintiqued" where artist Tony Woodard takes antique items and refurbishes them into new and amazing treasures.
"I find old salvage materials and you know give them a new life recycle, re-purpose, re-claim," said Woodard.
If you're into unique and trendy glass art, Midtown has that too at the Pearl River Glass Studio.
"One of the newest things we got is a kaleidoscope plate; we're making a dinnerware item," said Andrew Young, owner of Pearl River Glass Studio.
It's up to you where you spend your holiday dollars. But local vendors hope you'll think twice now that you know where to find some of them.
Contact information is listed below for some of the artists mentioned in this story.

The offensive, defensive and special-teams players of the week in the Patriots' Week 10 win over the Steelers:
Offensive: QB Tom Brady
After weeks of inefficiency and poor production, Brady went back to what worked: the short-to-intermediate passing game, with one big deep throw to Brandon Tate. He threw for 350 yards, becoming the first QB in 30 years to throw for 300-plus yards against the Steelers in three consecutive games. He was extremely vocal early on, rallying the troops after failing to convert a third down, and the rest was history. Brady threw three TD passes to TE Rob Gronkowski (the runner-up for offensive player of the week honors) and rushed for another. This is the Brady the Patriots need the rest of the way.
Defensive: S Patrick Chung
In his first game since injuring his knee in Week Seven, Chung made a huge impact in one of the Patriots' better defensive performances. He led the team with 10 tackles and added a pass defensed. His coverage on Antwan Randle-El allowed him to break up a pass that S James Sanders grabbed and brought back for a pick-six. Chung also blitzed often off the edge early in the game, helping apply pressure to Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger and open up sacks for the defensive line. The team ended up sacking Big Ben five times.
Special Teams: P Zoltan Mesko
The rookie continued his great season, dropping three of his five punts inside the 20 with a long of 53. He helped the Pats win the field-position game, forcing the Steelers into a long field. His net average was short, only 31.8 yards, but he averaged 40.2 yards a punt.

I am trying to Change the Color, Line Type and Line weight in Properties Pallete without selecting any objects, but i don't know how to do this.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Those are controlled by the drawing's Current sysvars.
Can you guide me, to use this in .net code
using AcadApp = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application; // AcadApp.SetSystemVariable(string name, object value) AcadApp.SetSystemVariable("CECOLOR", "BYLAYER") AcadApp.SetSystemVariable("CELTYPE", "ByLayer") AcadApp.SetSystemVariable("CELWEIGHT", -1)
class keyThumper<T> : Lazy<T>; another Swamper
On using the above code,
AcadApp.SetSystemVariable("CECOLOR", "BYLAYER")- Results No Change
AcadApp.SetSystemVariable("CELTYPE", "ByLayer")- Results in "eInvalidInput" error
AcadApp.SetSystemVariable("CELWEIGHT", -1)- Results in "eInvalidInput" error
Works for me. ... see attached piccy.
class keyThumper<T> : Lazy<T>; another Swamper
I don't know why it is not working for me.....
But i got the solution in another way, my solution code follows,
Using lock As DocumentLock = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.D
Dim acDoc As Document = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
Using acTrans As Transaction = acDoc.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction
acDoc.Database.Celweight = LineWeight.LineWeight015
acDoc.Database.Cecolor = Autodesk.AutoCAD.Colors.Color.FromColor(Color.Red)
Dim acLineTypTbl As LinetypeTable
acLineTypTbl = acTrans.GetObject(acDoc.Database.LinetypeTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)
Dim sLineTypName As String = "Continuous"
If acLineTypTbl.Has(sLineTypName) = True Then
'' Set the linetype Center current
acDoc.Database.Celtype = acLineTypTbl(sLineTypName)
'' Save the changes
End If
End Using
End Using
But the Only Issue in above code is we can't reback to "ByLayer"
Please clarify your last post. ??
And the code you posted is different to your initial question ... but I see how I could confuse your intent.
class keyThumper<T> : Lazy<T>; another Swamper
>> we can't reback to "ByLayer"
Why not, this code does not Work?
acDoc.Database.Celtype = "byLayer"

Whatever you think about John Calipari, you can no longer say he can't win the big one. Kentucky's controversial head coach expressed relief over that fact during his post-game press conference following Monday's 67-59 win over Kansas.
Nick Fasulo's on Kentucky's win
"You know what it is, I told my wife, I'm glad it's done," he said. "Now I can get about my business of coaching basketball and getting these players to be the best that they can be, helping young people, you know, create better lives for themselves and their families, and also helping them prepare for life after basketball.
"I can get on with that. I don't have to hear the drama. I can just coach now. I don't have to worry. If you want to know the truth, it's almost like, done, let me move on."
Calipari has made three previous trips to the Final Four, but his first two appearances were eventually vacated from the official record books due to NCAA infractions. That, combined with his unabashed willingness to embrace one-and-done freshmen, has made him one of the most polarizing figures in college hoops.
Nevertheless, Calipari doesn't plan to change anytime soon.
"I said this a couple years ago and everybody got crazy when we had five guys drafted in the first round," he said. "This is one of the biggest moments, if not the biggest, in Kentucky history. The reason was, I knew now other kids would look and say, 'You got to go there.'
"What I'm hoping is there's six first‑rounders on this team. We were the first program to have five, let's have six. That's why I've got to go recruiting on Friday."

Armour's alright facing alma mater in opener
Related Links
JU assistant men's lacrosse coach Brock Armour has every reason to have a stomach full of butterflies Saturday and not only because it is his college coaching debut.
Sure, Armour will be on the college sidelines for the first time, but the Dolphins' matchup with Towson (1 p.m. at D. B. Milne Field) has a little extra kick. It was only two years ago he finished a four-year career playing for the Tigers and much of the current staff.
Despite some bantering with some of his former teammates and classmates, Armour said he has tried to not let any feelings interfere.
"I really haven't thought about it too much,'' he said. "We have been really focused on putting together our game plan. I'm more concerned with our execution rather than my feelings toward the Tigers.''
Nonetheless, there's little doubt he is fond of his old stomping grounds and especially Towson's first-year head coach Shawn Nadelan, who was an assistant when Armour played.
"I've become good friends with him and he is someone I respect and admire,'' Armour said. "He's not only a good coach but a good man and I wish him and his family the best.''
Likewise, Nadelan can't say anything bad about his former player.
"He was the consummate teammate,'' Nadelan said Friday after the team bus pulled onto the JU campus for a late afternoon workout. "He got on the field a lot because of what he brought to the team. He always lifted the team.''
The irony of the situation isn't lost on Armour.
"It is a bit ironic to say the least,'' Armour, from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, said. "Having a chance to play your alma mater is special. I never actually thought I would be in this position at my age, but I've been fortunate enough to get the chance and we, as a staff, are going to make the best of our opportunity.''
The banter this week, according to Armour, was expected but has been good natured. Among those with whom he has been trading barbs with is his former roommate, Tigers' senior captain Carl Iaconna.
"I'm laughing slightly about the bantering,'' Armour said. "We (he and Iaconna) have exchanged a couple messages, but nothing to write home about. It has been more so with alumni, but it's all I good fun.''
The fun will end for a couple of hours Saturday at 1, but after that Armour will get back to his fondness for the school.
"I knew the day I walked on campus it would be a life changing experience and the day I left as a young man I knew the experiences changed me for the better,'' he said. "I loved my time at Towson and I have nothing but positive things to say about the school and its athletic program.''
The game will be video streamed on Asun.tv with Ray Carnicelli and Celita Gorman calling the action.

Illinois' new concealed carry law has been in effect for several months now, but it appears there is still confusion over some of its requirements.
A 'no guns allowed' sign is posted in a tiny public park in Downers Grove attached to the larger park district sign.
Yet right next door in Lombard, there are no signs banning guns nor are there any signs up in Maywood's public parks -- a community that's seen plenty of gun violence.
"If you were to look at the one common thread in this legislation, it's confusion," Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart says. "It was messed up from day one and it still is today."
Dart says the concealed carry bill passed by the state legislature last year is a mishmash of confusing language when it comes to requirements placed on municipalities and park districts.
"There's wildly inconsistent behavior here as far as people not knowing what to do," Dart says.
The statute includes a list of 23 places where concealed carry is prohibited, including public parks, playgrounds, libraries and schools.
The statute also requires 'no guns' signs be posted at those places. And while we found the signs at one public park in Homewood, the vast majority of parks we checked have no signs at all.
There is no enforcement mechanism in the law and no state agency to check whether the law is being followed. Nor is there any deadline to post the signs.
Richard Pearson of the Illinois State Rifle Association says local park districts and other agencies are being made aware of the law through professional associations and questions whether all that signage is even needed.
Sheriff Dart is opposed to the bill, so he's trying to pick it apart any way he can," Pearson says.
"Every person that takes a concealed carry class has to go through that section and knows all the prohibited areas."
Anyone with a concealed carry permit caught in those prohibited areas could lose their license and face a Class B misdemeanor.
A spokesperson for the Chicago Park District says they'll begin putting up signs prohibiting guns in all public parks in the next few weeks.

From a growler filled at the brewpub into a pint glass.
Pours a dark brown, with some ruby highlights shining through the body, and about 2 fingers of creamy off-white head. 1/2 finger of foamy yet solid retention leaves back some nice swathes of lacing. The aroma is rather light smelling with some roasted chocolate, caramel, just the slightest hints of smoked malts that weave in and out.
The taste is similar, with a chalky mix of chocolate and caramel, some firm hop character in the back, and just the tiniest amount of smoke that comes out most in the finish. Speaking of the finish, I'm also getting a mineral like feel back there that isn't helping the profile much. The mouthfeel is light-medium bodied with a lower but still fairly creamy feeling carbonation.
Meh. This was a pretty average at best Smoked Porter that just didn't pack enough flavor to keep me interested for long. I'm glad that I had a buddy to split the growler with.

This beer is not retired, as I had a growler filled at the Davidson Brothers brewpub friday December 26th.
The beer is alive and kicking. A subtely smoked Porter - the appearance was that of a stout, dark and a creamy two finger head. Great lacing and decent retention as well. The smell again was subtle, malty and that smokey aroma.
This is one of the tastiest beers I have had, I was not sure how the smoke would sit with my taste buds - it was wonderful.
Medium body and good drinkability. One of my favorite beers yet!

Poured opaque black with a mohogany hue and a creamy ecru 1-finger head.
Smell is faint, but whats there is malty, chocolatey, and none-too smokey.
Taste is of toasted chocloate and caramel malts and barley. Slightly mossy, earthy taste and a touch of smoke on the finish. The smoke flavor lingers in the mouth and keeps you coming back for more.
Mouthfeel is like all Davidson beers: creamy. There is a touch of mineral dryness on the swallow, and a thinner feel than one would expect from a porter.
Drinkability is high due to the middling nature of the flavor profile. It is a fairly good porter to enjoy on a nice snowy day.

Mahogany hue with off-white head.
Smoke was alarmingly not present in the aroma. That wasn't right at all. The flavor is of a nicely smoked character, nothing out of place: smoke, meaty, scotch peat characteristics. Thin mouthfeel: I would have expected a rounder or oilier feel.
Not bad, but in no way exemplary. Thanks to Danny H. for the sample.

The beer pours a dark brown/black color with a thick frothy tan head that fades to lacing. The aroma is outstanding. It has a rich dark malt scent that boasts of roasted and smoked malts; very pleasant. The taste is good. It has a creamy dark malt flavor with some chocolate and patent malts. It goes down smooth and finishes with a slight smokey aftertaste. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a full bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is a damn fine beer. It's full of aroma and good flavor; a good sessions ale.

A - Served a dark black color with a finger of super creamy tan head. The retention on the head was very good and left behind some nice lacing.
S - Aroma has some nice smoky notes with some sweet caramel/chocolate malts. Bit subtle and could have used a bit more punch.
T - Starts off with sweet roasted caramel malts and just a hint of smoke. The smoke flavor builds a bit through the middle and some chocolate malt flavors blends in. The finish is a mix of the malt flavors and some smoke that lingers.
M - Medium bodied with moderate-low amount of carbonation. Feels really smooth and creamy and the finish really fills the mouth.
D - Very drinkable. Was expecting a bit more of a flavor punch from a smoked porter, but what was there was fairly good. The mouthfeel was very nice.

Off the tap this beer was a dark garnet color with a thin tan head. The retention was weak as a collar and the lacing not much better. The aroma was of chocolate malt, caramel malt and hints of toasted malt. The flavors were sweet for a porter, especially a smoked porter. Chocolate and caramel malt with a little hop bitterness for balance. The 'smoke' was so subtle I hardly thought it with including in the name. The mouthfeel was watery, the body medium/light and the carbonation medium. Too sweet, too light and no smoke to speak of; not a good example of the style.

A: A blackish-brown body with a creamy tan head. Nice head retention and lacing.
S: Strong smokey aroma with a chocolate & caramel malt backbone.
T: Strong smokey flavor upfront followed by chocolate & roasted malts. Caramel sweetness cuts the smoke and ends slightly bitter.
M: Although slightly creamy, this one has a watery texture- very thin mouthfeel. Medium-light body and light carbonation.
O: I have had some smoked porters before, but this one was, to me, unbalanced. The smoke flavor was overwhelming and the mouthfeel was off. I don't think I would buy this for myself again.

Thanks go to Kegatron for sharing this one.
Poured a clear dark brown with red hues in the light. Two fingers of foamy off-white head has average retention and leaves some good lacing. Smells of toasted malts, chocolate, caramel, with the faintest touch of smoke. Tastes of lightly roasted malts, caramel, and cocoa powder with a lot of chalkiness. Finishes with a touch of bittering hops and a remote hint of smoke, but hardly noticeable. Medium-light in body but good carbonation. Creamy and smooth, but also minerally and chalky with not much going on in the smoke department. Drinkable once you get past the chalkiness, but a pretty boring porter that left me wondering how much more we have to drink before the growler is done and we can move on to something else.

this beer pours a very nice dark brown with red highlights. the creamy tan head just doesn't want to go away. the aroma is a little on the low side with a bit of smoke and malt. the taste is a little better with the smoke not quite drowning out the chocolate malt and hops. the beer had a light body and a decent level of carbonation... definitely an easy drink.
