Being a fan is like riding a roller coaster

There is nothing in life closer to a roller coaster ride than being a fan.
That goes for all levels of sports.
As a sports writer, you can't be a fan at all. You have to stand on the sidelines taking in every play and not get caught up in the emotion of it all. That's harder than you might think. We watch teams for full seasons, capturing the happiness and the heartache and that comes with a rollercoaster season.
So many seasons start out with dreams of being a state champion and so many falls short of that preseason dream. That's the beauty of fandom.
I pour a lot of my emotions into one football team on the collegiate level every year. My Saturdays are spent on the edge of my seat awaiting jubilation or depression. Of course, I'm exaggerating…sort of.
Last weekend, my team was decimated on national television and me being the super fan that I am, felt the hurt. Halfway through the game, my wife realized that our television in the living room had grown silent. Earlier in the night, the television shared the game throughout the house and I was yelling at the television.
When that noise disappeared, my wife texted to see if I was still watching the game. Of course, I was. The television was just muted at that point. I could barely stand to watch it, much less listen to the announcers.
In the end, I was left watching a Christmas movie at 2:30 a.m. in a desperate attempt to find a single source of happiness. Of course, I'm exaggerating…sort of.
Next week, the volume will be turned back up and I'll be screaming at the television again because that's what we as fans do, right? One week, we feel like our dog died. The next, it's like Christmas morning.
That's the life of a fan.
Tonight the gates will open and the fans will flood into stadiums. Those fans will be sitting on the edge of the bleachers anticipating either happiness or heartache.
And regardless of the outcome, that cycle will repeat next Friday night because…well…that's the life of a fan.
Let me see if I can help pick whether you'll find happiness or heartache tonight. Here are my picks for this week's prep football action.
u u u
Last week: 13-2
Season: 94-44
Games back: 15
Smoky Mountain at Brevard
Smoky Mountain won last year's matchup, but Brevard looks like a different team this season. After witnessing the Blue Devils' offense last week, I'm a believer. Maybe Smoky Mountain's defense will put up a stiffer test than West Henderson, but I doubt it…Brevard, 48-21.
Franklin at East Henderson
Franklin is a freight train this season. That should continue this week at East Henderson. The Eagles just don't have enough fire power on offense to keep up and its defense will have a tough time…Franklin, 56-14.
Owen at Hendersonville
This is by far the most intriguing matchup this week. This game is basically going to come down to one player. What will Jager Gardner do? The junior tailback has rushed for 2,015 yards this season and there are still three games left. Will the Bearcat defense be able to stifle the star tailback who's averaging more than 11 yards per carry and more than 250 yards per game? They may not shut him down completely, but I think they will slow him down…Hendersonville, 42-38.
Pisgah at North Henderson
This will be Brett Chappell's first trip back into Henderson County since leaving East Henderson last season. Chappell has guided Pisgah to a strong start this season. North is in the middle of a ridiculously-hard stretch. Last week, the Knights went to Franklin and suffered a loss and the road won't get any easier this week…Pisgah, 34-21.
Roasman at Cherokee
The Tigers about pulled out a victory last week against Robbinsville. This week, they'll get one on the road. Cherokee is winless this season and Rosman has looked more than capable at times…Rosman, 21-10.
Tuscola at West Henderson
West Henderson is at home again this week after allowing 68 points against Brevard last week. Tuscola will come in angry after a home loss to Pisgah last week. That recipe doesn't bode well for the Falcons…Tuscola, 35-21.
MADISON at Avery County
Mitchell at MOUNTAIN HERITAGE
Hayesville at ROBBINSVILLE
Andrews at SWAIN COUNTY
Roberson at ASHEVILLE
North Buncombe at ERWIN
McDowell at REYNOLDS

Blacksburg - ACC Player of the Week Andrew Rash and Virginia Tech are back on track after beating UVa 2 out of 3. The Hokies may not be one of the BEST teams in the conference, but they've proven they can beat the likes of Florida State and UVa.
Virginia Tech pitcher Brad Markey said "We have the potential to be at that level. Just one of these games we're going to need to break out and get on this hot streak and I think we're going to be alright once we get there."

World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) veterans, Erik Koch and Ricardo Lamas, met under the bright Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) lights TONIGHT (Jan. 26, 2013) on the UFC on FOX 6 main card from the United Center in Chicago, Illinois.
More bright lights were probably the last thing Koch and his awful "FOX tan" needed, but high-profile exposure -- like the kind a spot on a nationally-televised main card brings -- is seemingly always good for business, especially when a potential title shot hangs in the balance.
But, so, too, is #WINNING.
Koch, who came into the bout riding a four-fight win streak (two in the UFC), came out like an "Angry Orange," pumping his jab and pushing the pace. Lamas kept a safe distance, looking for his opportunity to get the fight on his terms, which is on the mat, shooting unsuccessfully for a takedown, but still managing to tie up Koch along the cage for a solid portion of the opening frame.
After a rather uneventful first round, Lamas came out in the second and scored a takedown, albeit on a slip. He was able to quickly get on top of Koch, waited for an opening and came down with a huge elbow that appeared to stun Koch bad, but the following skin-splitting punches erased any doubt.
Blood began to gush from Koch's face as Lamas continued to pour on the punishment before the referee finally waived him off for the biggest win of his career and his fourth straight in the UFC since making the drop to Featherweight

- Signature detection. This approach gives you the ability to spot malicious code, among other things.
- Behavior monitoring. By adopting this technique, you can do things like spot malicious activity in a computer or determine if a suspicious file will respond to virtual bait
- Blacklisting. This is a mechanism for blocking access to sites and files that are included on a list of undesirable entities.
- Whitelisting. With this approach, essentially the opposite blacklisting, users are only allowed access to sites and files on a list of entities known to be harmless; access is denied to sites and files that aren't on the list.
Each of the four has its supporters and detractors, and all the anti-malware software vendors queried for this article said they use some form of all four weapons, in combination.
Other defenses include firewalls, which can prevent intrusions and -- with Windows at least -- are part of the operating system, and periodic vendor patches to address vulnerabilities.
Frequency of cyberattacks
The frequency of different types of attacks experienced during a four-week period in 60 companies benchmarked.
Viruses, worms, trojans: 100 percent
Malware: 97 percent
Botnets: 73 percent
Web-based attacks: 63 percent
Denial of service: 50 percent
Malicious code: 48 percent
Malicious insiders: 42 percent
Phishing/social engineering: 42 percent
Stolen devices: 33 percent
Source: Ponemon Institute/HP Enterprise Security "2013 Cost of Cyber Crime" study.
A question sometimes raised is whether there are more advanced weapons that we haven't yet learned about. "I've heard that [the anti-malware vendors] have better defenses up their sleeve that they choose not to release since they are not necessary yet, and they don't want to tip their hand," says Zeltser.
The vendors deny this. "Our secret weapons are in force every day -- it's a daily battle," says Tony Anscombe, an executive at anti-malware software vendor AVG Technologies. Indeed, if vendors had something that can stop all viruses "it would be foolish to wait to use it," says Kevin Haley, spokesman for anti-malware software vendor Symantec. "It would be a competitive advantage" to help sell more software, he points out.
Either way, the end result is that anti-malware software vendors can now respond to a new (or "zero-day") exploit within two hours, although complicated exploits may require subsequent follow-up, says Haley.
In parallel, there have been efforts to make software less vulnerable to infection. For instance, Tim Rains, director of Microsoft Trustworthy Computing, says that Microsoft has revamped the code libraries used by developers to remove errors and vulnerabilities.
As a result, he notes, stack corruption was the vulnerability exploited 43 percent of the time in 2006, but now it's used only 7 percent of the time. He also cites a study conducted in 2011 by analyst Dan Kaminsky and others indicating there were 126 exploitable vulnerabilities in Microsoft Office 2003, but only seven in Office 2010.
Years of security-related software patches downloadable by users have also had a measurable effect. Rains cites statistics derived from executions of Microsoft's online Malicious Software Removal Tool, which showed that systems with up-to-date protection were 5.5 times less likely to be infected.
As of December 2012, the rate was 12.2 infections per 1,000 machines for unprotected systems vs. 2 per 1,000 for protected systems. The global average was 6 infections per 1,000.

Time to Protect 'Co-operative' business names
We, the undersigned wish to see no deregulation of company names which reduces the sensitivity of the term 'Co-operative' or 'Co-op' and wish to see 'cydweithredol' - (the Welsh for Co-op) have the same level of sensitivity.
The Co-operative Movement subscribes to values agreed and held by the international Co-operative Alliance which can be found at www.ica.coop. The UK Government's Department for Business Innovation and Skills "Red Tape Challenge" is consulting on the editing/removal of the list of 'sensitive names' for registering new businesses. The term 'Co-operative' is one of these 'sensitive' names and if removed from the list, or the list itself removed, would mean that it would become easier for a new business to pass itself off as a Co-operative.
Co-operatives UK has drafted a response to the consultation which co-ops and co-operative supporters may find useful.
This petition will be forwarded to email@example.com as a response to the consultation

The questions in Philly today are simple. Can they fit Dan Hamhuis in the mix? From The Rink, our general hockey blog, examines their salary cap situation:
If they resigned Hamhuis -- who could go for anything from $3 -$4.5 million in cap space, that's about $18 - $19 million invested in their top-four defenseman. They'd still have to fill out their blueline by signing a guy or two, and their 11 signed forwards already take up $32.4 million in cap space.
So let's assume the Flyers signed Hamhuis and have $19 million tied up in their top-four defensemen. Then they have to make room for two players, so let's take that to, say $20.5 million. That's 17 players of combined forward and defense for $53 million. Brian Boucher makes 0.5 million, so that brings the total up to 18 players for $53.5 million.

I know many of you are wanting to see Broner vs Marquez, but truthfully the man rightfully in line and the one who is being shunned by his own Promoter (Arum) and the vast majority of the public for his win over Pac is Bradley.
I think Bradley rightfully earned the right to face Floyd with his win over Pac but since Mayweather has officially moved up to 154 I believe he'd be too much for Tim at this time so the man who earned it rightfully is the man who definitively gave Pac a Dirtnap last night and that is Marquez.
Style-wise I believe this is a better match-up for Juan than going against the faster SP style of Broner who is much younger than himself, somewhere down the line though I'd still love to see Broner vs JMM or even Broner vs Bradley but right now the two men with signature wins over Pac deserve a go at this.
Arum has sidelined Bradley to some extent because of the way he took it from Pac and this is the reason why he hasn't had a big fight but he deserves it based on the outcome of the fight last night.
Your thoughts??

Its amazing how many people thought the 4th fight was pointless, but here we are lobbying for a 5th fight. Pacquiao just isnt the the fighter he used to be. Got a gift decision last year, slept this year by a 40 year old guy. I dont recall a guy getting koed in that fashion coming back and performing at a very high level, especially at 34 years old. I think its time to move on, there are other exciting fights to b made
Good post. Tho it was an exciting fight move on already its obvious marquez is the better fighter
I hope Juan is out of his contract so he can control his own destiny. In my mind I dont think he wants another fight with manny. In his eyes he won the first three and this one was just the icing.
I don't think he should fight mathysse tho, he's too old and too easy to hit to be taking shots from a guy like that. Plus there's no money in that fight for him. Him and Garcia would be interesting, like I've said it was just a year ago Garcia was losing to a old Eric morales before he got wild. Garcia is a very winnable fight. Rios could either finish what katsidis started or get finished like katsidis so sign me up for that one. And for some reason I see a fight with Bradley going how the diaz fight went.
Mayweather would be a toss up because who knows how mayweather will look after this long layoff, he may be himself he may have lost it. It happens. There's no money in lamont, doubt he fights broner (too small, bigger names) and Erik morales got taken to the pasture. There's always Marcos maidana but that's a tough bill and probably not enough money in it even though Marcos has headlined before
Oh and for the record no way does guerrero deserve a mayweather fight, I just hate the way he has literally thumbed rabbit punched and talked himself into a fight by fighting Andre "phony shell" berto and a paper contender in aydin and still not looked good. Motherfucker I don't want to heat about your wife, or watch you talk shit to lightweights and then thank Jesus Christ for giving you the strength to flap your gums and punch people in the face. Fight somebody bro, anybody! Maidana is right there, the Alexander vs kell winner will have more cred then you and that's not saying much.

A woman is hit by a bullet fired from outside her west Tulsa apartment early Thursday morning.
Police said a suspect fired as many as 15 rounds at a car and buildings in the Western Pines complex near 24th and S. Maybelle.
The victim was sitting in her unit with her brother when the bullets came flying in. She was hit in the leg, but he was not hurt. The woman should recover from her injuries, police said.
Police said the shooter ran from the scene. There's no word yet on a motive and there's not much of a suspect description.
A neighbor we spoke to said she'd heard of violence in the area within the last year, but hadn't experienced anything first hand.
"It's getting pretty scary," the woman said. "(My neighbor) has a little baby and I've got a little girl and I'm really worried now."
Police can use any tips you have on this case. You can leave them anonymously through the Crimestoppers tip line at 918-596-COPS.

Hornets strong on perimeter in win over Eagles
PLATTSBURGH — Plattsburgh High girls' basketball coach Joe Staves said from the outset that Thursday's highly-anticipated rematch with Beekmantown featured two teams with contrasting styles.
One showcased electrifying perimeter play, while the other obtained an intimidating post presence.
Fortunately for Staves, perimeter play prevailed.
The Hornets (7-3, 6-2), who received contributions in large part from Marle Curle's season-high 33 points, knocked off previously undefeated Beekmantown 67-56 in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference action.
Plattsburgh High set the tone from the get-go, forcing the Eagles (9-1, 9-1) backcourt into committing mistakes with a full-court press.
"We wanted to create some turnovers and get into transition, while taking (Shannon Ryan) out of the paint on both sides of the floor," Staves said. "It's not that she's just a good offensive player, she's an outstanding defensive player, too."
Seven 3-point field goals in the first half helped the Hornets extend their lead to 12 markers at the break. Curle, Cierra Duquette, Kianna Dragoon and Olivia Carlsson were able to generate offense with their shooting touch from behind the arc.
"We had four different players hit 3-pointers in the first half, and I think that put a little pressure on Beekmantown because they couldn't just put emphasis on guarding (Curle)," Staves said. "Once they began covering other people, (Curle) just took it to the basket and nobody's going to stop her ability to drive unless they double team."
Beekmantown used its size advantage in the post, closing the third stanza on a 14-6 run to cut the deficit to seven points with one quarter remaining.
"After a quick timeout, we were able to settle down and regain composure," Staves said. "We play with a lot of intensity, and I think the kids are able to manage that. Sometimes, it's difficult at the high school level to transition from pressure defense to a half-court offense and change the tempo. To their credit, they did that (Thursday)."
Carlsson and Dragoon registered 11 and 10 points for Plattsburgh, respectively.
Ryan, a sophomore, finished with her second consecutive 38-point game. Emily Anderson reached double-digits, adding 10 points in the loss.
"I thought Beekmantown played an awesome game," Curle said. "I just thought we had a team win, and it's awesome. We'll be back at it (Friday) at practice."
Curle now sits 15 points away from hitting 1,000 in her illustrious career, while Ryan is also within striking distance at 946.
The victory pulled Plattsburgh to within a half-game of Beekmantown's lead in the Division I standings.
"A lot of those kids play together in the offseason, and it's a great rivalry," Staves said. "I hope to see (Beekmantown) come March. I think it will be another great battle."
Plattsburgh High 67, Beekmantown 56
Beekmantown (56)
Guynup 1-0-2, Ryan 18-2-38, Kelly 2-1-6, Anderson 4-2-10, McKinley 0-0-0, Wilson 0-0-0, LaFountain 0-0-0, Barcomb 0-0-0. Totals: 25-5-56.
Plattsburgh (67)
Dragoon 4-0-10, Carlsson 5-0-11, Duquette 2-0-5, Curle 13-2-33, Marlow 4-0-8, Bedard 0-0-0, Carper 0-0-0, Keyser 0-0-0. Totals: 28-2-67.
Beekmantown 13 11 18 14 — 56
Plattsburgh 19 17 13 18 — 67
3-point goals: Beekmantown (1): Kelly. Plattsburgh High (9): Dragoon 2, Carlsson, Duquette, Curle 5.

Diner Reviews
So I love coming to this place...
the pancake is amazing (they should really change the menu to say pancake and not pancakes.. because you only get one... but it's delicious and filling). The sliders are to die for... (although for 17 dollars you should get three not two... wasn't filling enough). The ceviche was eh.. not so good. I've had better.. it could use more lemon and not have that ginger on top of it which if you accidentally put in your mouth was aweful)... but i won't hold it against them.... All in all amazing!"

Enjoyed it. Love the little
baguettes, and the creative sandwiches. French with flair."

Really cute spot. The croque
monsieur was terrible. So sad!"
Dined on 6/21/2014
They have a wonderful breakfast
served all day. Yummy eggs benedict with delish potatoes. The pitcher of Bloody Mary's is great price, spicy and plentiful. Also pitchers of mimosa & sangria. Ambiance is nice/romantic, if a little tightly packed-- but less so with french doors pulled back to open into the charming street on a lovely day. Service was very pleasant, if a tad slow."
Dined on 6/13/2014
this is one of the prettiest NYC
restaurants I have been in yet the dining experience was oddly uneven. Waited over an hour and twenty minutes for our entree even though the restaurant was only 1/3 full. The entrees were "just fine," a word that has come to mean passable. The hot baquettes were delicious though the second round (one per person) were burned black on either end. Our waiter was cool, borderline brusque, despite our best efforts to be cordial. (Other staff members were warm and professional.) Won't go back despite its charmingly pretty looks. I really wanted to love this place. sigh."

Just delicious lunch and you could
actually hear the person you were sitting with. we sat at one of the tables facing the sidewalk. it was a beautiful day! The beet salad was divine if you like beets. My friend had the french toast which was delicious. I had the avocado and shrimp salad. The sauce was yummy and the avocado perfectly ripe. The restaurant is charming and reminds me of Europe."

I loved the location of the

Had a reservation for late brunch
Sunday - place was quite packed when we got there. Got seated straight away and forgotten about. had to reach out to get menus. Ordered a pitcher of mimosa which took about 15 min 'as it was too many bubbles', so guess they made it in the wrong order... any who, had the lobster benedict which was good, but the best was the pre-brunch mini baguettes. All and all ok experience but always had to reach out to waiters. Noone asked how the experience was or how the food tasted."

We ate here for the first time,
both the food and service were very good. Our table wasn't ready so we sat for a few minutes and they bought us a glass of wine. The cost is comparable to the other restaurants in the area. We will eat here again."

Not a complaint to be noted -
everything was wonderful ..food ,wine and service .. will surely dine there again .."

This was our second time here, and
we love the intimate, earthy atmosphere..lots of wood, and floral/foliage touches that are lovely. It's a small place, and can feel a touch crowded, but service is wonderful, as is the food! Don't miss the hot-from -the-oven bread, the brussels sprouts salad, the pate….really everything is delicious!"

Quaint can be overused but Vin et
Fleurs is perfectly appointed with it's lighting (flattering to most) and varied menu. An easy choice for a small, great neighborhood find."
Dined on 3/15/2014
The restaurant was jammed, but our
table was held and we had a great meal. Slightly atypical French bistro fare, but all good. Most impressive was the service. Our Server really went the extra mile to make everybody fell comfortable. And that's not easy at a table with 10 and 77 year olds at it. It's getting harder to find this in New York, and that alone would lead me to recommend this place. but the food was also excellent. Not one complaint across the board and the Crepe Soufflé left us all drooling."

A very authentic Parisian Bistro.
Food was excellent and the service was wonderful. The owner is very friendly. Can't wait to go back in the Spring. It is very small, which was great on a week night."

Dined on 3/3/2014
The food and service were great.
The waiters were very attentive and friendly. The one irritating thing was that we were dining in early March, indoors of course, and the front door kept swinging open and staying open unless someone shut it firmly. The cold blasts of air throughout the meal were awful. There also didn't seem to be a sign up or any alert that said the management acknowledged the problem and were getting it fixed. Waiters would just eventually see the door and then run over to close it. Overall it was a good experience, I just wish it hadn't been affected by the door."
Dined on 3/1/2014
almost don't want to recommend as
it will make it impossible to get a reservation in the future as too many will flock there. But we owe it to the resturant and staff. Food is great, amibence is supurb and the staff is very, very accomdating. Definitely one not to miss."
Dined on 2/18/2014
Overall I thought it was a great
place. However, they were out of many of the foods which could have been because of snow storm and delveries. But what we did have was great. I'd still recommend"

Nice little place, good vibes and

Lively atmosphere. Food was

Fazio. Delicious coffee. Fresh ingredients. Lovely atmosphere. True neighborhood gem."

There are only 7 tables or so in
this quaint French bistro that offers dim lighting, well executed cuisine, and a great martini. Even though there is soft lighting, it can be noisy because of the small quarters and proximity to your neighbor... but if you've been to France, you know that is authentic. Dine here, you won't be disappointed."

Was looking for bunch spot to meet
some out of town visitors who were staying near Times Square. This was perfect for a "different" atmosphere from the tourist craziness. Food was good and a pitcher of Bloody Marys was great for three people. Waiter was fun without being overbearing. It's crowded because it's a tiny place and the noise level is pretty high...but overall a wonderful little place. Reservations a must!"

I chose this restaurant on a whim,
and both my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised! The owner, Fadzio, is tres gentille, and he speaks French with his customers (si vous voulez..). Fadzio - merci pour une petite dejeuner memorable!"

We had a very nice brunch here.
The place is small so we felt quite cramped in. The staff was quite pleasant but perhaps a bit overwhelmed. Some parts of brunch arrived quite late. But would go back."

So quaint, comfortable and great
bistro food! The staff and service were outstanding!"

With its rustic exposed brick
walls and charming flower arrangements, walking into Vin et Fleurs feels like walking out of Soho and into a charming bistro on the Ile St Louis in Paris. Perfect for a girl's lunch during an afternoon of shopping, but it also has a romantic feel that would make it fun for a date as well. Our server could not have been more charming or attentive. He recommended a great bottle of wine (and dissuaded us from another; his was the better choice!). The food was delicious."
Dined on 11/9/2013
Great overall, but I would
hesitate if your dining partner is large. The chairs are quite small and may be uncomfortable."
Dined on 11/9/2013
On a nicer day, would have been
better experience. Cold outside - each time door open chilled air poured into this small space -no effort to rectify (canopy at least?!). Our server was nice but in knowledgeable and kitchen messed up our one request. Bar did not stock Lillet- this is a French bistro!"
Dined on 11/8/2013
We had a very nice meal at this
eclectic sorta french place. The salmon tartare was excellent as were the ribs and the mousse was very nice; the bouillabaisse less so. Very pleasant service. Quite small. Definately will go back - could be our jean Claude replacement. Prices quite good (low)."
Dined on 11/1/2013
Very cute, beautiful setting and
intimate , alm the good is great, a true French experience that makes you feel you are traveling to Paris. The menu is great although I wish they had more choices for dinner entrees"

My husband and I celebrated our
4th Wedding Anniversary here. The menu is eclectic and the food was great. The place is very small but you are not rushed the wait staff is attentive and non-intrusive. Overall a wonderful experience."

I have had dinner twice at Vin et
Fleurs and both times have been very enjoyable. I'm not a regular steak eater but each time I have ordered this, it has been fantastic. We also ordered the truffle mash, this is a must... Our most recent dinning experience was with friends from out of town and Vin et Fleurs was a great place to take them, it feels cozy and local. We were seated at the front of the restaurant, the doors were open so it felt like we were dinning outside. The noise level is perfect we were able to catch up with out hearing other conversations and there was no need to yell to be heard. The service is friendly. We ordered a wine which they did not have in stock so this was replaced with a more expensive bottle. Very happy....."
Dined on 8/16/2013
If you are in Soho and want to get
away from the busy streets walk over to Thompson Street. The tree lined quite street makes it a great get away from shopping madness. This small restaurant can be very busy but you will never feel rushed. The wines compliment the food. The portions are larger than expected and the menu has somthing for everyone. I have pretty much eaten every item on the menu and never had a bad meal or somthing unexpected. The chef knows how to mix simple flavors cooked correctly. Your taste buds will be happy and your tummy full."
Dined on 7/30/2013
We stopped in for brunch. Thought
it was much better than average. Good selection of dishes, well prepared. Very casual vibe and I think for dinner would need to fit that ambiance."
Dined on 6/16/2013
food,service everything was
perfect. server took his time on a busy sunday afternoon. We never felt rushed!"
Dined on 6/9/2013
Slow service with flippant
servers. Ordered a soy latte and it was not until I had to follow up for the overdue coffee was I told they don't serve soy lattes. Suggest staff not to take an order that can not be fulfill? Won't be returning."

Great small place.... Paris in
NYC. Food and service was great!"
Dined on 4/28/2013
This is a lovely little gem of a
place. Felt like Paris in Spring...food was outstanding. Highly recommend the tuna tartare appetizer and ribs with orange sauce as entree. Warm chocolate cake for dessert was to die for. Would definitely go back..."

Poems for my grandson Elllison. I wrote about things familiar to him and added photos to go along with the poem. For example, I wrote a poem about his little red wagon and put in a couple of pictures of him in his red wagon. It's just something I wanted to do for Ellison from his Gigi.

Clay Kollenbaum named A-Sun "Pitcher of the Week"
Sophomore pitcher Clay Kollenbaum earned Atlantic Sun Conference "Pitcher of the Week" honors after doing his part to help shore up a Dolphin pitching staff that is in the midst of eight games in eight days. JU went 2-1 for the week, with big wins over Wagner (18-8) and James Madison (13-5) after dropping a heartbreaker to Bethune-Cookman (4-3) to start the week. Kollenbaum has been called upon for long relief and hasn't disappointed in his second season with the program. He currently leads the squad with five appearances and 14 strikeouts while logging a team-best 11 innings among relievers. Against the Wildcats, Kollenbaum put the Dolphins in line to win the contest by hurling two shutout innings in which he scattered two hits and struck out four batters. Against Seahawks, he put the shackles on a Wagner squad that had put up eight runs in the first four innings. Kollenbaum notched the first save of his career after tallying three shutout innings in which he scattered two hits and struck out four. "Clay is a good young arm that we needed to step up for us with all of our injuries, "He has done a tremendous job out of the bullpen in the past two weeks and I expect that to continue. With his development and our pitchers coming back healthy, I like the way our staff is rounding out as we move forward." For the week, Kollenbaum was 0-0 with a 0.00 ERA and one save in two appearances while notching eight strikeouts and allowing only four hits in five innings.

Awesome problem, if you're in shape for serious crimping. Starts on matched crimps at chest height, and gradually eases in difficulty as you go. Upper moves are shared with the left variation.
Alcove above (to the south of) wounded knee. The problem faces north.
Pads/ spotters. At least 2 pads, or one big one (an extra pad folded in half underneath is useful, as the narrow landing shelf slopes away). 2 spotters help, too, as it's possible to tumble backward off the ledge.

I just want to let everybody know that if you really enjoyed this book, you can vote it for Hamilton's next top novel if you follow this link.
Now for my comments about the book...
I really enjoyed Brandon Sanderson's dystopian novel and i can't wait for the sequel titled Firefight to come out in Fall 2014. It was very original and kept me guessing the whole way through. Some parts put me close to tears and others very confusing. Very unrealistic which kinda made it amazing. I also think it would appeal to both genders. Please read this book and then vote for it. Thank you for reading my comment.
Steelheart was the best book I've read in a while. Most of the characters felt well-developed, and the story was great. It is set in a world where random people are given powers that defy all physics and logic. These people, the Epics, act as rulers, exempt from laws. Fighting against the Epics are the Reckoners, a group of freedom fighters who target one Epic at a time and assassinate them. Steelheart was well-paced, with a good plot and a good balance of humor and seriousness. Its only flaw was the Maze Runner style made-up swearword system: no matter how hard you try, "Sparks" does not sound like a swear word. I would defiantly recommend Steelheart, which will be followed by Fireflight (next year) and Calamity.
Great book. wouldn't recommend it for people under 14, a bit gory and descriptive in some parts, mainly the prologue.
Great Read, I really enjoyed it, just couldn't put it down. Had to read through class...Oops. Tension all the way until the very end. I would highly suggest it!
This is a great page-turning book!
Amazing book that makes me give it a 5 out of 5 stars rating.
One of the best book you will every read. You would not want to put it down.
A great story - I really enjoyed this book! I found the story much more engaging than some of Brandon's other series.
Definately worth picking it up for a read.
Simply marvelous! I love this book and recommend this to dystopian/fantasy/superhero/magical powers lovers. What I love that makes this book unique is the fact that the "heroes" (Epics) are not so perfect like your average Superman with super strength or some other power s/he uses to help humanity. The heroes are flawed with hubris and in this book they are also the villains, which is a different concept and one that I like! Very well written, and the characters are well developed throughout the book. David at first is taking revenge for his father's death, but experiences with the Reckoners change his perspectives, for example. I also happen to love David's metaphors, which suck but are cool- they are a part of his diverse character. Definitely going to read Firefight, the second book in this series!

DETROIT (AP) - Police say two men are wounded and an attempted armed robbery suspect is dead following an exchange of gunfire at a Detroit restaurant.
The shooting happened Wednesday night at a Coney Island restaurant on the city's southwest side.
Police say two armed men entered the restaurant and announced a robbery. Police say a 51-year-old man at the restaurant opened fire, killing a 29-year-old suspect. The suspect also fired shots before being killed, and the 51-year-old was wounded along with a 46-year-old man at the restaurant.
The wounded men are listed in stable condition. Police on Thursday are searching for the second suspect, who fled. They're seeking tips from the public in the case.

Why Are There No Arab Democracies?Journal Article
Larry Diamond - Stanford University
Published by
Journal of Democracy, Vol. 21 no. 1
January 2010
(excerpt) During democratization's "third wave," democracy ceased being a mostly Western phenomenon and "went global." When the third wave began in 1974, the world had only about 40 democracies, and only a few of them lay outside the West. By the time the Journal of Democracy be- gan publishing in 1990, there were 76 electoral democracies (accounting for slightly less than half the world's independent states). By 1995, that number had shot up to 117—three in every five states. By then, a critical mass of democracies existed in every major world region save one—the Middle East.1 Moreover, every one of the world's major cultural realms had become host to a significant democratic presence, albeit again with a single exception—the Arab world.2 Fifteen years later, this exception still stands.
The continuing absence of even a single democratic regime in the Arab world is a striking anomaly—the principal exception to the global- ization of democracy. Why is there no Arab democracy? Indeed, why is it the case that among the sixteen independent Arab states of the Middle East and coastal North Africa, Lebanon is the only one to have ever been a democracy?

WASHINGTON, Ill -- Dozens of Woodford County 9th graders took a break from the textbooks Friday, but the learning didn't stop.
Students attended the annual Teen Jamboree program at Crossroads United Methodist Church.
The focus was on learning more about social issues they may face like peer pressure, drugs, violence, and alcohol.
ELITE Youth Outreach Director Carl Cannon spoke to students for about an hour Friday morning before breaking into small groups to discuss how to handle those issues.
One 9th grader says she hopes to take away a better understanding of making the right decisions, especially when it comes to peer pressure.
"It's really difficult because everyone wants you to do something whether you want to do it or not and you want to act cool so I'll say, but sometimes that's difficult when everyone's pressuring you to do the wrong thing," said El Paso Gridley 9th grader Madeoyn Wilson.
Students will go back to their schools and share what they learned from Friday's program and how to handle certain situations the right way.

New London -- The Republican Town Committee voted Tuesday not to support the $42.3 million general government budget which is going to referendum Tuesday.
The committee passed a resolution urging members to vote no, because, in part, the spending plan, which represents a 1.91-mill increase in taxes, lacks details and does not include all line items in the budget.
"In discussions, the committee suggested that overtime, salaries, and new positions be reduced to cover lowering taxes,'' according to statement released by the committee on Wednesday.

As many know, Sony has taken aim at the iOS in one of its "Marcus" PSP ads. In the ad they use the name Lame Castle to poke fun at the iOS's game market. Well, the indie developer Be-Rad Entertainment turned the joke on them when they released Lame Castle as an iOS and Android game. Jayce Diaz, Glitchy Tasty's Managing Editor recently had an interview with Brad Johnson, creator of Lame Castle and Be-Rad Entertainment to talk about how the game came to be, his take on mobile development and what's next for Lame Castle and B-rad Entertainment. Hint: Lame Castle Free should hit the App Store tomorrow.

GEORGETOWN, Del. - Caroling On The Circle kicks off in Georgetown in just two weeks.
The annual event actually starts December 3rd, but organizers have already started decorating and packing the pod with non-perishable foods today. Last year alone, they collected more than 29,000 items.
But organizers are hoping to beat that number this year with a goal of 30,000 items.
"We're going to ramp up the efforts," said Frank Shade, co-chair of Caroling On The Circle. "We're going to call on the community, call on the public to dig a little bit deeper because if we don't take of the people locally that count on us this time of the year that has a good hot meal for Thanksgiving, then we're going to create a bigger problem here."
If you would like to help, you can stop by the Georgetown Circle anytime between 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday.The Pod is located next to the Sussex County Courthouse. The food drive runs until the end of December.

I thought the the decisive fact of the debate was non verbal. The glaring, snarling McCain refusing eye contact, mumbling during Obamas turn has to be seen as threatening and lacking control.

The United States is one of the most diverse countries on earth, jam packed full of amazing sights from St. Patrick's cathedral in New York to Mount Hollywood California.The Northeast region is where it all started. Thirteen British colonies fought the American Revolution from here and won their independence in the first successful colonial rebellion in history. Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Cincinnati city officials are pushing to curb scrap metal thefts with tough new restrictions that would require licenses and make sellers wait two days to get paid.
City Council could vote as soon as Wednesday on the proposed municipal code changes. Proponents think the changes will deter thefts by making it more difficult for people to sell stolen metal. Opponents say the measures will hurt honest scrap metal vendors and dealers who purchase metal, and will push business out of town.
Experts say the proposed rules are unusually strict among cities and states trying to cope with scrap metal theft that rose in a rough economy.
Besides licenses starting at $100 a year for regular sellers, changes would require criminal background checks and a wait to get paid by check.

|Tibbitts enjoys customers' 'treasures'
|Friday, April 05, 2013 11:44 AM
"I applied here because it sounded like a lot of fun. It seemed like a really interesting place to work, kind of like Pawn Stars of Delphos," she joked. "The things I had to learn the most about were the guns and knives and ammo. I knew nothing about any of that when I started. I've bought a gun since then, a .380 Kel Tec. I had to learn about gold and silver and the retail end of the business."
Tibbitts, who previously worked for Ford Motor Co. and then spent years volunteering with animals, says she doesn't have an official job title but you could brand her an office manager.
"I deal with the customers and point of sale but I clean when it's needed and I answer the phone, too," she said. "I'm also the one who enters all of the information for items and serial numbers for guns into the computer."
Tibbitts' favorite part of working at Delphos Trading Post is the items they buy and sell or sometimes trade.
"The best part is seeing all of the neat things people bring in. We get a lot of unique stuff in here and sometimes it's really hard not buying it yourself," she said. "The coolest day of the week is when people bring guns in but we also get jewelry, DVDs, books and all kinds of things. The most interesting thing I've seen brought in was an old fortune-teller machine from the 1920s. It really worked, too. Another cool thing was a Pabst Blue Ribbon stained glass sign from the '70s. There are lots and lots of cool things that come through here."
Another thing that makes Tibbitts look forward to coming to work every day is the people — behind the counter and in front of it.
"We get a lot of interesting people in here; a lot of great people. It's really fun when the old farts and the young farts come in and talk guns. We have a lot of regulars who come in to chat, sort of like a bar you could say. We should probably think about getting a coffee pot in here," Tibbitts added. "I do love the people I work with, too, my boss Sami Kennedy and my co-workers Todd Jettinghoff and Frog Ralston, even though they harrass me to no end. Frog is our mentor. He was the one who taught me about the guns, knives and ammo. No matter what happens or what kind of day it is, it's always really fun in here."
Tibbitts has been with Delphos Trading Post for nine months. She lives in Lima with her husband Doug. They have three children: Seth, 20, Dillon, 20 and Meghan, 16.
