Title: Going Rogue (Book #2 in the Also Known As Series (my review of Also Known As))
Author: Robin Benway
Release Date: 01/14/14
Genre: Young Adult Contemporary
Rating: 4.25 out of 5 stars
Goodreads Description: Being permanently based in a local New York City high school as an undercover operative has its moments, good and bad, for 16-year-old safecracker Maggie Silver. Pros: More quality time with her former mark-turned-boyfriend Jesse Oliver and insanely cool best friend, Roux. Getting to spend quality time with her semi-retired and international spy honorary uncle, Angelo. Cons: High school and the accompanying cliques, bad lunches, and frustratingly simple locker combinations. But when Maggie's parents are falsely accused of stealing priceless gold coins, Maggie uses her safecracking skills to try and clear their names. Too bad it only serves to put her and everyone she loves in danger. Maggie and her "new team" flee to Paris where they must come up with a plan to defeat their former allies.
Thoughts: Robin Benway is the master of writing smart, thoughtful books that you don't even realize are smart or thoughtful because you're having so much fun reading them. It's been well established that I loved Also Known As, 50% because it's a great book and 50% because the main character's name is Maggie and I'm happy to say that I loved Going Rogue just as much, if not more, then I loved Also Known As.
Because I didn't think Also Known As needed a sequel I was slightly worried going into this, but I should have just trusted Robin. In this second book in the series The Collective has gone off script and Maggie, her parents, and Angelo must go rogue. Maggie must also break out from under her parents' careful watch and start to take on missions of her own and unfortunately Roux and Jesse get dragged into all of the craziness that ensues.
In my review of Also Known As I wrote: "Do I think a 16-year-old could really be a safecracker working with some of the top spies in the world? No. Do I think this book had a lot of absurd things happen? Absolutely. Did it matter? No." And I still feel the exact same way. Reading about a 17-year-old breaking into a criminal mastermind's home just doesn't seem real to me, but the story is so fun and the characters are so great that it just doesn't matter.
Let's get to where I think Robin Benway really excels and that's at blending the serious with the fun. Everything about this book is fun. Even when Maggie is in tough situations she's still her smart, sarcastic self and that makes reading these books such a joy. But there's also a lot of seriousness and relatable situations hidden among all the good times. When this book starts Maggie and Jesse have been dating for a little over a year and while things seemed to mostly have been good, as Maggie gets drawn back into the spy world things get tough for them. Maggie must keep secrets from Jesse and Jesse, even though he doesn't know exactly what's going on, is worried for Maggie's safety and wants to protect her (in the least misogynistic way possible). Essentially these problems are variations of problems lots of people face in relationships; sometimes you have to keep secrets from those you love and sometimes you have to let people take risks and live their lives even when you want to protect them.
The same can be said for Maggie's relationship with her parents. I absolutely love the parent-kid dynamic that they have in both books, but in this book Maggie needs to strike out on her own and put some space between herself and her parents. Not only because she's entering her senior year of high school and getting ready to leave for college, but also because she's working with Angelo as part of their "going rogue" on things her parents can't know about. Even though the mission with Angelo is such a crazy thing it really struck me how Maggie's need to assert her own independence and live her own life is just like what so many other teenagers go through.
After the perfect blend of fun and serious my favorite part of this book was obviously Angelo and Roux. So often I can't stand supporting characters and best friends, but Angelo and Roux are something special. I loved that we got to see more of Angelo in this book and more of Angelo at work. And Roux is just amazing, I don't think she was quite as wacky in this book, but she has some amazing moments. I mean, who else would have a Faberge egg hidden in their sock drawer?
Bottom Line: This book is so perfect for so many people. If you like fun, read this book. If you like contemporary YA novels, read this book. If you like spies, read this book. Robin Benway's books are something truly special and if you haven't had the pleasure of reading one of her books yet I encourage you go fix that mistake ASAP.
I received an electronic review copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley (thank you!). All opinions are my own.


text: Some residents of Bishop, just north of Kingsville, said there is a problem with Animal Control enforcement in that city.An anonymous tip from a resident was received Thursday, complaining about there not being an Animal Control officer in Bishop. They said that was causing problems. That resident claimed he is afraid for his children, and that many homeowners have unleashed dogs running wild in the community. The tipster also reported one resident who has a whole yard full of roosters.Sure enough, at that address there were many roosters, some in pens and others not. Some were even on a leash.According to a City ordinance, a household is only allowed to have four small animals, such as fowl. The ordinance defines fowl as any living bird.Donnie, a friend of the man living in the home with all the roosters, who was on that property at the time, said that some of the roosters, but not all of them, were used for fighting. That was before the homeowner began yelling at him, and Kiii News reporters attempted to talk to him."Channel 3 News, I got nothing to say. Get off my property right now," the homeowner said. "Get off my property right now. I'm going to let my dog out."At City Hall, City Secretary Cynthia Contreras shows the city ordinance that limits the amount of fowl per household to four. The City said they haven't had an Animal Control officer since he resigned in June or July of last year. He went to work for the County Animal Control.Meanwhile, Police Chief Larry Lawrence said that, if he were to do something about the roosters, he doesn't have anywhere to put the animals since the City's animal shelter is non-functional. It is being repaired and needs to be inspected.The City said they are going to begin advertising this weekend for a contracted animal control worker.

Because the hair on your face is somewhat different than the hair on your head, caring for your beard requires a modified set of instructions. It is important to keep your beard clean and well-conditioned. For this task, simply use the same shampoo and conditioner on your face as you do your head. If your beard is gray, conditioning is key because grey hair can grow thicker and more bristly than colored hair. The conditioning will help soften the beard and might actually get you kissed once in awhile. For unruly beards, a dab of beard conditioner (such as Craig's Beard and Stache Butter) will tame those whiskers. In addition to cleaning and conditioning, keeping your beard well maintained is essential. Following are my six tips on caring for your beard.
Seek Professional Help
To give your beard the best shape possible, find a good barber and have it trimmed professionally. Finding a good barber can be tough these days, but they're out there. After your barber has professionally shaped your beard, you can maintain it easier at home.
Use a Shave Oil
A clear shaving oil will allow you to see what you are shaving and will help ensure clean lines around your beard. For this purpose, I love The Gentlemens Refinery Pre Shave Oil.
Invest in a Good Trimmer
A quality trimmer is key to a well groomed beard. Choose a trimmer with an adjustable trimming guide for mistake proof trimming. Stay away from scissors as you'll have a hard time getting an even trim If you really want to go all out, buy two clippers. A full sized clipper (like those a barber uses to cut your hair) will make overall trimming easier, while a small fine-toothed trimmer will cut closer and allow you to get a clean outline. For trimming, I recommend the Andis Headliner PLS.
Comb it Out
Using a fine-toothed comb, keep your beard smooth and free from tangles by running the comb through the beard in the direction of the hair growth.
Color Carefully
If your beard is graying or a dramatically different color from the hair on your head, there are dyes specifically formulated for facial hair that are safe to use at home. Follow the instructions on the package carefully to ensure good, even coverage and never use beard color immediately after a shower. The essential oils produced by your skin will help prevent staining of the face, but these oils are stripped away by showering. Avoid using color treatments designed for your hair as these are not formulated to handle the tougher hair on your face. Just for Men makes brush-in color gels that work well.
Use a Mirror
Invest in a wall-mounted mirror with a telescoping arm. This will prevent you from having to lean across the bathroom counter and ensure you can get close up.
A well maintained beard can look great on the right face and offers a nice change from time to time. If you get tired of the beard and decide to go clean shaven, follow our Guide to Shaving.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route is a must do! Not a 100% sure on the rating, but it's steep with trad to start and has a sporty finish. Start directly below the first bolt in the corner. The names a little deceiving (*unless you don't bring gear*). Because the beginning protects fine with a little pro.
Furthest route to the left. Look up way high for the first bolt. It's about 25-30ft up there.
A couple cams or nuts and 3 bolts, plus 2xchain anchor.

Hopefully the Thunder used the Day off to gather themselves back together after that dreadfully awful performance in Minnesota on Wednesday. They definitely don't have time to be fooling around either as the Houston Rockets come to the Ford Center tonight. The Rockets were on a bit of a skid recently, but managed to end the skid be beating the Celtics on Wednesday. Including that win the Rockets are just 2-4 in their last six games, and that win against the Celts isn't quite looking as good as it would've a month ago, as Boston is also 2-4 in their last six games. Hey! The Thunder are 2-4 in their last 6 games too! But that's probably where the comparisons are going to stop.
The Thunder are going to have to control Yao down low, although, I don't think its even possible with anyone on our roster. I'd expect to see Krstic expand on his minutes again tonight, but hardly expect him to have a huge impact on the game. If Krstic can get on the floor for a decent number of minutes, and knock down a few 18-footers, maybe he can effectively start to pull Yao out of the block, and open up some driving lanes. Of course you still have Artest to deal with too, down low, and we all know he's a beast. The Rockets average about the same number of points per game (+2 PPG) as the Thunder, but give up about 9 less per game defensively, so that's the clear key to the game tonight. The Thunder Defense is going to have be stiff, and force the Rockets into some bad shots, and on the offensive end, can't afford another bad shooting night.

CATEGORIES Movies, News/Reactions, HorrorIf you've been to a major horror movie site today, then you're probably well aware that the first one sheet and a slew of photos have been released for Stevan Mena's Bereavement--the prequel to his 2004 indie slasher cult hit Malevolence. Frankly, I'm pretty amazed at the level of excitement. The pictures are cool and I liked Malevolence (I gave it a 3 out of 5 in my review), but I never thought it was this big a deal.
Apparently I was wrong.
I'll give Mena this--the stills from the film are impressive. This guy running around with the cow skull on his head is creepy in the extreme and it appears as though the filmmaker has recaptured the moody atmosphere of the original in this prequel.
This outing focuses on Graham Sutter's kidnapping and the systematic torture of his protege Martin Bristol--the guy who eventually becomes the killer in Malevolence. Mena has characterized Bereavement as a film more in the vein of The Shining, whereas the first paid homage to slasher films like Halloween. This film will be "more of a character study."
Consider my curiosity officially piqued. Michael Biehn headlines an ensemble cast in the feature, which still doesn't have an official release date.
Head on over to Dread Central for a huge gallery of stills from the production.

Documenting The Melt Down
In the year 2007, National Geographic nature photographer James Balog and a team of engineers and scientists set out to document glacial retreat, one of the environmental concerns raised by global warming.
The team began installing cameras at glaciers around the world -- in Greenland, Alaska, and Montana, for example -- with the intention of showing how glaciers behave over long periods of time.
For The Record
For several years, the cameras recorded concrete, irrefutable images that clearly document the erosion of our planet's glaciers. The ice is melting at a slow rate, but continually and with significant loss. The glaciers are losing ice, which is not being replenished seasonally.
Using images retrieved from the cameras, Balog produced gripping time-lapse sequences that clearly reveal the effect that climate change is having on glaciers and, by extension, on planet Earth's global environment.
These sequences, as seen in Chasing Ice, along with the film's additional images taken before the remote documentation began and after it was concluded, are alarming, indeed. That glacial retreat is a fact is abundantly clear, and the speed at which it is happening is shocking.
The images are backed up with statistical information. For example, one of the glaciers documented in the film has actually diminished by 1,200 feet over the past twenty years -- that's the size of the Empire State Building, in case you need a well known reference place for comparison.
Stunning Photography
Chasing Ice takes you to remote places of pristine beauty, places that are neither accessible to or visited by many people. With images from Balog's remote cameras and additional cinematography by Chasing Ice director Jeff Orlowski, Earth's magnificence sprawls exquisitely across the screen, underscoring the need for action to be taken to protect and preserve it.
The film has tension and natural drama, too. The forces of nature are powerful. We see extreme weather. And, extraordinarily, Balog's crew was able to film the calving of a glacier, when a section of ice that was roughly the size of lower Manhattan, broke off from the main body of the glacier, fell into the sea and became a huge free-floating ice berg. This particular calving is the largest ever recorded.
Worthy Protagonists
The glaciers and environment are clearly the main characters in Chasing Ice, but Orlowski also spends time profiling James Balog, the inspired and determined primary engineer of the glacial documentation project. Balog is both photographer and scientist, and he's a dedicated naturalist who has been dogged in his determination to reveal the extent of glacial retreat, make known its inherent dangers and convince people to take steps to halt it.
Balog is an environmental hero who forgoes personal comforts, risks life and limbs to complete his work. At one point, shortly after having had knee surgery, he disobeys his doctor's orders to rest and, on crutches, treks onto the ice to check his cameras. Balog has a lot to say about glacial retreat and its effects, and his comments are well-informed and compelling.
The Bottom Line
Even if you are very much a skeptic about global warming and its environmental effects, this beautiful and gripping environmental travelogue will convince you that the dangers are real and that you must help to do something about the situation. The film and its message are particularly timely, as we see more and more weather-related disasters that are impacting people around the globe. Climate change is a real, world wide political issue, and Chasing Ice demands that it be given serious consideration, and that solutions be sought -- while there is still time.

Hey! Come on it rocks! | Reviewer: Denise | 3/27/2006
Hello, my name is Denise. My nickname is Italian Girl by some. I got the Transgression album on Sunday, March 26, 2006 at 6:00 P.M, but i only have volume 3. So far, I've shown it to about four friends and they all think I'm nuts for listening to that kind of music. Nobody gets it! Hear and listen then you'll learn! It certainly keeps my mind away from a key signiture and more within the music itself and the beats. Buy it are my only words of advice. May the Lord bless you all who read this.

Skip to main content
I had sex for the first time shortly after turning 20 (about a year ago), but I wish I had done it sooner. I know I had been ready and willing at age 16 or so -- the problem was just that no one was interested in me that way, but in the other girls around me. It still hurts, in a bizarre and surprising way. I feel like being a virgin for so long was not my choice; I feel like the decision was made for me by other people who decided I wasn't attractive enough to be with. To this day I still wonder if I'm intensely sexually unattractive, and if the occurrence at age 20 was just a fluke that will not repeat itself. How can I let go of this? How can I cope with late loss of virginity and stop seeing it as a personal failure to pass muster in terms of attractiveness?
I am a girl, but I wish I was a gay boy. Let me start off by saying, I am a straight girl. I know for a fact that I'm not trans. I am a girl, I was born a girl and I don't think I was born in the wrong body. I am comfortable in my body. But recently I find myself looking up anything gay related on the internet. Gay love stories and short videos on youtube, most of my favourite couples on TV shows are usually the gay ones; and not girl on girl. For some reason; I don't like seeing girl on girl, but I love seeing guys together. I think it's more like I'm jealous of gay relationships. How can I be a straight girl who likes boys, but enjoy and sometimes envy gay relationships. I'm just a bit confused about myself is all. What does it mean? Why am I like this?
I'm 20 and I've been talking to this girl for a couple months and she's amazing. When I'm with her all of my pain and suffering that I go through daily is gone. She takes it away with a little smile. She says I'm everything she wants in a guy and I make her happy except when we start becoming intimate. She says the sexual attraction isn't there, and I can't get her to reach an orgasm with my penis. It's normal sized but she says she wishes it was bigger. We had sex 3 weeks after we met and she says if we would have waited until she had deeper feelings for me, it wouldn't matter. I've never had a girl make me feel likes she does. I'm not some dumb young guy, I have a house and a car and a job but all I want is her. But I don't know what to do from here. I can't hit her spot, and I've tried putting her legs on my shoulder. What should I do?
I'm a 24-year-old woman who's never had any kind of partnered sex or been in a relationship. Until very recently, my libido was like a quiet walk in a very dull park. I had to make a serious effort to become sexually aroused, and was attracted mostly to men, but not very many men. I would masturbate maybe five or six times a month, and never orgasm. Intellectually I knew there was nothing wrong with that, but I felt freakish and insufficiently sexual.
I recently learned how to give myself an orgasm, though, and now I get incredibly turned on sometimes when I'm not even thinking about sex. I've gone from quiet walk in the park to stuck on a runaway train. It's distracting, embarrassing, and physically exhausting. When given the chance I will masturbate about fifteen times a day. On top of all that I've started noticing women as sexually attractive, and more men as attractive than I did before. This all happened within the space of three days. I know sexuality can be fluid but I kind of assumed the changes were gradual.
Why am I suddenly insatiable? I'm worried that either this will continue and I'll spend my days in perpetual need of a cold shower, or I'll go right back to being mostly desireless.
I'm a 16 year old boy, and for as long as I can remember I have been attracted to girls and yet rarely able to feel comfortable around them and get to know them. I've always been a nice person (the friendly guy) but without that many actual close friends who are girls. Recently I've noticed I am turned on (and everything that follows that) with the thought of receiving anal. Yet when I actually tried to see what anal was like through porn (I know this isn't realistic) I really didn't like it (to be polite). People have sometimes quietly thought of me as homosexual as I've never had a girlfriend and now I'm really not sure about myself? There are so many bad stereotypes and public jokes about gays I don't think its worth considering? I guess if I could fall in love with a girl and kiss her I would be far more confident...but I shouldn't need this! Advice please?
What do you call it when you're sexually attracted to men (I'm a girl), but you can also appreciate female beauty? I'm straight and would not want a woman as a sexual partner. However, it's not unusual when I see a beautiful woman to think "damn, she's smokin'" the same way I might think "wow, he's a hunk" when I see an attractive guy. I also realize I have the capacity for 'girl crushes'--usually when I find another women admirable, not even in a sexual way or anything. I might admire her for her skill, personality, or expertise, as well as her physical beauty. What's up with that?
What are the risks of having homosexual sex with another male? I tried it once, but I couldn't "get it up", so I was also wondering how I might help that?
I am a 15 year old male. I have been straight my entire life and have some romantic experience with girls. As a whole I am very attracted to girls. I absolutely worship the female body, and am turned on by them. But recently I've had some thoughts about guys as well. I have watched some male pornography and found myself turned on by attractive male models online. However I do not find any attraction to the guys I see daily ever. I know from the girls which guys are supposed to be cute. Yet I have no attraction to them. I cannot begin to imagine actually going on a date with a man. I guess I am confused because I am attracted to women 24/7, and attracted to men only in the confines of pornography or the occasional thoughts fantasies while masturbating. Am I bi-sexual? What does this mean?
Me and my GF have been going out for about a year and I want to get her comfortable with us bringing in another girl, but I don't know how to approach her about it. I don't know what I should say to get her comfortable. I don't want to sound as if I want another girl, I just want to try something new.
I recently turned 24 and I have never been in a real relationship. I am in love with my best friend, with whom I have had a very interesting and painful 4 year friendship. He took my virginity at the age of 21, and he is one of 2.5 guys I have slept with; he is the only one I have hooked up with more than a couple times. He has cheated on two different girl friends with me, and he tells me he loves me but he has always been very clear that he will never be in a relationship with me. I have asked him a couple of times why. After a lot of beginning, he finally gave me list of everything that is physically and mentally wrong with me.

Prayer at high school football games is in jeopardy in the Lauderdale County School District.
The Freedom from Religion Foundation filed a complaint on behalf of a citizen living in the area. The
The foundation wrote two letters to the school district. The complaints refer to prayers led before athletic events and all other school sponsored events.
Many people are very upset about the mere thought of stopping prayers before the football games or really any athletic event, especially those in the Killen community.
Parents and students at Brooks High School are upset about the complaints. WAFF 48 News spoke to one mother Wednesday who said she was upset to hear that one organization is trying to control what a community can and cannot do.
"It's just somebody, it's a few trying to control the mass, it's a very few people that are trying to dictate what everyone else does," said Alisha Michael.
"We want to bless our players we want to protect our players, our band members, our fans, we want their safety and we plan on praying for that safety at the beginning of each ball game," added Michael.
A Facebook group has started in support of prayer at the Brooks High School football games.
The Facebook group is called [The Brooks Lions Will Pray].
In less than 24 hours the group has gone from 3 to more than 2,600 members.
"We're gonna fight this all the way through. I know there's a lot of us standing behind it and we will give it our all as long as it takes," said Michael.
They plan to fight even if the school system puts a ban on pre-game prayer.
"We will all unite in the lords prayer we already discussed this we will not have a moment of silence," said Michael.
The group has also created t-shirts to support their cause.
WAFF 48 News reached out to Jeremy Green, the man who made the complaint to the Freedom from Religion Foundation, he gave us this statement.
"I would never try to take away anyone's right to pray, and I will continue to support the religious freedom of everyone, but there are certain times and places where sectarian prayer is inappropriate. Student or faculty led prayer, when endorsed by or sponsored by a public school is unconstitutional and illegal for good reason. This protects the rights of the members of all religions, and the non-religious alike," said Green.
Wednesday night a group of people met to pray for the continued prayer at Brooks High School football games.
"Tonight's message is about unity. We are coming together to show our rights and they shouldn't be taken away and we will stand together," said Alisha Michael.
"In our schools we all have a moment of silence. It doesn't matter who you pray to or what you pray for. It's your moment of silence for whatever you want. It's not directed to our god or any other god. It's whatever you believe in," said Trey Snelling.
Alisha and Trey helped organize Wednesday night's prayer.

|Roy Esqueda Supports the San Fernando Recall Effort
|Written by Diana Martinez, Editor
|Thursday, 19 April 2012 04:53
He Claims His Wife, San Fernando Mayor Brenda Esqueda, and Councilwoman Maribel De La Torre Attempt to Offer Him "A Deal"
Roy Esqueda
Roy Esqueda doesn't hesitate to say he supports the San Fernando Recall.
He is firm in saying that his wife, San Fernando's new Mayor Brenda Esqueda, Councilwoman Maribel De La Torre and Councilman Mario Hernandez should all be recalled.
It's no wonder. Roy Esqueda believes he's been "victimized," and has paid, perhaps, the highest price for the "sex, lies and text/email" scandals that San Fernando has become famous for.
He said he's had many sleepless nights after learning that his wife was having an affair with San Fernando police officer Sgt. Alvaro Castellon and, after many agonizing months, he is now ready to speak out about that he has been witness to, which he claims includes his wife and the rest of the council majority breaking the law by violating the Brown Act.
Up to now, Roy Esqueda has not spoke of his wife's affair publicly, nor has he spoke of all the other improprieties he said he has been witness to that were committed by the council majority. But, the very last straw came for him last week.
He said he was called into court in Van Nuys on a restraining order filed by Mayor Esqueda.
"If anyone needs a restraining order, it's me." Roy Esqueda said.
Brenda Esqueda
He hired an attorney and was ready to present a pile of evidence, to show the judge last week. But, before he could present his documents that included police reports and a photo of Castellon he described as "mad dogging" him, he said Mayor Brenda Esqueda told the judge that her witness had not yet arrived and asked the judge for permission to wait.
A short time later, the witness appeared. It was Councilwoman Maribel De La Torre.
"She came rushing in with no makeup on and her hair was a mess, she looked like she just woke up," said Roy Esqueda.
"Maribel walked up and began to talk to my attorney. Afterward, he came over and told me that Maribel and Brenda wanted me to write and sign a letter that says that they never violated the Brown Act, and if I do this, Brenda would drop the restraining order against me.
"I refused, even though my attorney said to do it [to make the restraining order go away]," Roy Esqueda said. "I told my attorney, 'No, I'm not going to do that.'
Brenda, [Mayor Esqueda] was really angry, and she came over to us and yelled, 'OK, the deals off!'"
Roy Esqueda's attorney told the judge that they were not made aware that there was a "witness" and would need more time to prepare. The judge postponed the court date, which is now set for May 4th.
Roy Esqueda said it's obvious to him that they – Brenda Esqueda with De La Torre - concocted this latest plan to try to stop their recall.
Details of Brown Act Violations in His Home
He told the San Fernando Valley Sun/El Sol that he has no interest in making "a deal" with them. Even though he said the trio knew it was against the open meeting law, they often met together at various restaurants where they didn't think they'd be spotted.
He said they have had no regard for violating the Brown Act, out of public view, having a quorum of the council or informing the full council that they were meeting.
He recounted one occasion in his home when he was instructed to cover the windows so that people passing by could not see them secretly meeting.
"They met in our dining room. It was in the daytime, it was almost noon," Roy Esqueda said.
"All three of them, Mario Hernandez, Maribel De La Torre, and Brenda ... they all told me to put something on the window. I told them we had shutters to put on one the windows. It was a kind of like the shutters used for a divider wall. I told them I had those, and asked if that was okay [to use]. They said, yes. So I used those and they covered up the entire window."
Roy Esqueda said on other occasions Sgt. Castellon also improperly met with the council members. He said the subject of the constant conversations and meetings they had together was about how they could get newly appointed Police Chief Anthony "Tony" Ruelas back on the job.
"The police department was corrupt, it was about protecting Ruelas 100 percent. He wanted Ruelas back and he would do anything to get Ruelas back," Roy Esqueda said.
And worse, he said, his wife regularly shared confidential information from closed-door city council meetings with Castellon.
"She would text him, and tell him everything that was going on," Roy Esqueda said. "I'm sure she still does."
"When she started doing that, texting, I confronted her with the bill. I said, 'Look you were in a closed door meeting here at the time you were still texting him.' She said, 'Yes, I was texting him about him, about what was being said about him.' I told her, 'Well ain't that against the rules? You're not supposed to do that.' She told me, 'Yeah, but I need to tell what I need to tell him.'"
More History On Ruelas
Even with Brenda Esqueda working behind the scenes to according to her husband, provide information to Castellon, Ruelas was placed on administrative leave and was being investigated for having an affair with Maria Barajas, a former police cadet. The affair, reported by the San Fernando Valley Sun/El Sol, was well documented as Barajas kept hundreds of their email messages and also supplied a compromising photo of Ruelas in their hotel room as evidence in a lawsuit that she filed.
She not only sued Ruelas and the city of San Fernando, but she also named Sgt. Alvaro Castellon in the lawsuit for threatening her by telling her that, "she could disappear." She alleged that Castellon would not leave her side at Ruelas' swearing in ceremony and prevented her from moving freely.
Castellon and Ruelas were very closely associated both inside and outside the police department. So much so, that Ruelas met with Brenda Esqueda in Castellon's home, Roy Esqueda said.
Brenda Esqueda also visited with Castellon in his home on a separate occasion, according to sources who spoke with the San Fernando Valley Sun/El Sol, even in the presence of Castellon's wife.
It stunned and outraged the community and the rank and file at the police department when the council majority returned him to duty as chief. Ruelas would find such a cool reception from the rank-and-file however that it was difficult for him to command the department. He was permitted to work on an "as needed" basis and Lt. Jeff Eley was placed in command as interim chief for what would be the second time in this saga.
Execessive Phone Calls Bred Relationship
Roy Esqueda said the conversations between his wife and Sgt. Castellon became obsessive.
"Brenda would talk to Castellon day and night. She would even get up at 5:30 in the morning to talk with him. She'd get up, get dressed and take a walk while talking on the phone. She'd talk to him from the moment she got up in the morning until she went to sleep," Roy Esqueda said.
"There was one time, when we went out to dinner with my daughter, and she was on the phone with him on the way to the restaurant, she talked to him through our dinner and all the way home. I mean, right in front of me she was talking to him like she was a seventeenyear- old schoolgirl talking to her first boy friend and she could not wait to talk to him. She would stay on the phone for at least three or four hours in front of me. Practically flirting, and ignoring me and my daughter," Roy Esqueda said.
He described the conversations his wife had with Castellon as beyond excessive.
"All three of us decided to go on a family dinner one day. We went down Reseda Boulevard to Kings Hamburger. Before we got there, he called her. We walked in, she's still on the phone. We ordered, she's still on the phone. We ate, she's still on the phone. We walked to the car, she's still on the phone. We're driving home, she's still on the phone with him.
"This was daily and nightly, early in the morning she would go for a walk, at 6 o'clock in the morning," Roy Esqueda said.
"I found out she would call him at that time. He would call her before 6 o'clock sometimes when I'm not around. He would call her at 5:30 or around there, to this day. I found out that he's still calling her around 5:30 or 5:44 because one time she actually called me and while I was talking to her and I heard her other phone ring. That other phone, I'm assuming is being paid for by him, that phone started ringing and I looked at the time, it was 5:44.
"I said, 'he's still calling you at 5:44 in the morning?" While she still tried to conceal many of the phone calls, Roy Esqueda said, she couldn't lie about the phone bill.
"I confronted her with the bill online and said, 'Look, his number's all over the place.' I mean he probably would talk to her more than he talked to his wife basically. When she was at work at Facey she refused to talk to me over the phone but she accepted his phone calls right after she hung up from me, after telling me she's not allowed to talk on the phone."
Roy Esqueda said he believes she ran into problems at work because she was on the phone so much.
"I told her, 'you are acting more like this is your boyfriend' but she would deny it when I confronted her.
Pretty soon she started changing her appearance, losing weight, buying new clothes and getting Botox."
Her unending loyalty to Castellon was painfully obvious, he said, on the day when his wife quickly shot out of the house to run to the police department to rescue him.
Castellon Turns to Esqueda and City Hall to Protect Him
Castellon no longer had Ruelas to protect him as he had been placed on administrative leave. Castellon was told by a superior that he too was going to be placed on administrative leave and an investigation would ensue for the role he played in the Barajas affair.
Castellon refused to give up his badge or his gun and had to only make one call to save his job. Esqueda gathered the support of the other members of the council majority and City Administrator Al Hernandez. Councilwoman Maribel De La Torre reportedly offered her support for Castellon via phone, while then Mayor Mario Hernandez, Brenda Esqueda and the city administrator marched over to the police department to tell them that Castellon was not to be touched.
He said after months of rumors he finally moved out of the family home after confirming the affair between his wife and Sgt. Castellon.
She had ignored him throughout the day during a city sponsored 4th of July celebration. She had refused to show him the text messages on her phone, and he couldn't handle her lies any longer. Roy Esqueda said he moved out of the family home but stored many of his belongings including computer equipment in the garage.
But he said that soon became a point of contention as the garage door has been broken several times, his property has been broken and tampered with, and he has had to call the San Fernando police to the family residence on numerous occasions.
He said that Sgt. Castellon has harassed him and it's Castellon's improper involvement with his wife that has turned his life upside down, which has also impacted his relationship with his daughter.
"When I've asked Brenda who has broken my things, she would just say, that she knew who did it but she won't tell me who it was. It looked like some of my belongings were crushed by a boot because you could see the imprint." Roy Esqueda said.
Roy Esqueda describes his wife as having lots of emotional issues with a habit of lying.
"Actually she cheated on her first husband," he said. "She didn't finish high school because she got pregnant and when she was in school she had a lot of conflict. Her mother told me she just never wanted to go to school. Whether the girls were white or Mexican she would get in lots of arguments and have trouble with them."
It's been noted by other community members that the new Mayor doesn't have much tolerance for Mexican immigrants.
Resident Patty Lopez said during public comments at a city council meeting that Mayor Esqueda has laughed at her when she speaks because she has a Spanish language accent.
One of the first actions Mayor Esqueda took when she was first elected to the city council was to put an end to the Spanish language translation of the 4th of July firework narration. She wanted the city to hold a "Victorian Christmas" event and questioned why folkloric and mariachi music was needed at city events.
"She would call people 'wetbacks,'" said Roy Esqueda. "I would tell her to keep her voice down and not talk like that, but she would say that she didn't care, that she was in her house. But she talks so loud, that you can hear her even from street outside."
He believes that she can be easily manipulated and would have difficulty handling the council job on her own.
"She has trouble spelling and writing," he said. "When someone would send her an email, I would respond to them for her, because she wasn't able to do it. Now she's probably having someone else help her with that." Roy Esqueda said.
Mayor Esqueda, Councilwoman De La Torre and Sgt. Castellon Walk the Neighborhood
Last Tuesday, April 17, Mayor Brenda Esqueda, Councilwoman Maribel De La Torre and Sgt. Alvaro Castellon walked door-to-door attempting to turn back the San Fernando Recall effort. Roy Esqueda said he isn't surprised that Sgt. Castellon is out in public with his wife and De La Torre.
"There isn't anything they won't do," he said.
Irwin Rosenberg, President of the Police Officers Association, took note of Sgt. Castellon's action.
"The POA voted overwhelmingly to support the Recall, and Castellon is going against the vote of his fellow officers," Rosenberg said.
"They've broken the law. Even if they aren't prosecuted for violating the Brown Act by the District Attorney's office, the public will decide," said Julian Ruelas of the Recall Committee.
The San Fernando Valley Sun/El Sol placed several phone calls to Mayor Brenda Esqueda for comment. By press time, those calls had not been returned.
Next week, the San Fernando Valley Sun/El Sol continues the conversation with Roy Esqueda.

(Clemson) Nov. 20, 2004 - Lou Holtz's final regular-season game for South Carolina was one he'll probably want to forget.
Reggie Merriweather had three touchdowns and a career-high 125 yards to lead Clemson to a 29-7 victory Saturday over the Gamecocks in a game marred by a fourth-quarter brawl between the teams.
Holtz told his USC players before practice Thursday he was retiring. Reports have said former University of Florida and Washington Redskins coach Steve Spurrier has agreed to coach USC when Holtz leaves.
"You'd have to not know that President Bush was re-elected not to know what my plans are," Holtz said.
Holtz had pointed to this game since last November when the Gamecocks were run out of Williams-Brice Stadium, 63-17. He said it was the most embarrassed he'd ever been and vowed it would not happen again.
Instead, he lost to the Gamecocks' in-state rival for the fifth time in six seasons.
While the final margin wasn't as bad as a year ago, the Gamecocks (6-5) were dominated again.
Holtz, in a black South Carolina windshirt and garnet ball cap, paced the Death Valley sidelines. Nothing he thought of worked against the Tigers.
Merriweather had a 12-yard TD as Clemson (6-5) took the second-half kickoff and drove 80 yards to make it 20-7.
Emotions on both sides spun out of control late in the fourth quarter with a sidelines-clearing fight that delayed the game for about 10 minutes before coaches, police and security officers got things under control. Clemson became bowl eligible, but both Clemson and USC are turning down bowls this year.
There's one more game for Holtz, too, before he ends his 33-season career. It could be the Peach or Independence bowls, depending on how the rest of the Southeastern Conference shakes out.
Holtz stands eighth in career victories with 249. He's 33-37 at South Carolina. This one was bad from the start for the Gamecocks.
Cory Boyd fumbled away the opening kickoff and Clemson's Steven Jackson recovered on the South Carolina 9. Two plays later, Merriweather rushed in from 3 yards to put the Tigers up 7-0 only 6 seconds into the game.
Merriweather added a 7 yard touchdown run two series later and South Carolina could not recover.
The Gamecocks didn't get a first down until 10:37 was left in the second quarter. They punted nine times, five of those after going three-and-out.
Players from South Carolina and Clemson brawled late in the game Saturday, with 67-year-old coach Lou Holtz diving into the pile as peacemaker in his regular-season finale with the Gamecocks.
Police, security and coaches tried to separate the teams, who scuffled before the game started and continually pushed and shoved each other throughout.
The fight appeared to start at the line of scrimmage when South Carolina failed on a fourth-and-11. South Carolina offensive lineman Chris White was fighting with Clemson players and the others rushed to the center of the field to take part.
South Carolina receiver Matthew Thomas and Clemson cornerback Justin Miller also traded swings. The mass of players moved to the east end zone before security, state troopers and other law enforcement officers could break things up.
The public address announcer asked all players to clear the field.
Both teams were assessed unsportsmanlike conduct penalties.
About the only good thing for the Gamecocks came on Syvelle Newton's desperation heave for a touchdown. With South Carolina facing 3-and-14 and the prospect of giving the ball up again, Newton scrambled away from two Clemson pass rushers and launched the ball nearly 60 yards in the air. Boyd turned to the right to catch the ball, held off defensive backs Tye Hill and Jamaal Fudge, and fell into the end zone to make it 14-7.
Both teams were coming off tough losses in the previous week. Duke shocked Clemson 16-13 on a last minute field goal last week, while Florida, Spurrier's old school and alma mater, whipped South Carolina 48-14.
The series dates to 1896 and the first year of football at Clemson, the fourth season for South Carolina. This will be the 96th consecutive year that Clemson and South Carolina have met on the gridiron, every year since 1909. Clemson holds a 62-36-4 advantage since the series first began in 1896. Clemson has won the last three games against USC and seven of the last eight.

Here is a mock up of a version of Cody's birthday party invite; only a few of these made it into rotation. I ended up going with a tropical invite instead since that is the theme he chose.
So, I chose bright colors because that's what seems to work for boys and for summer parties. The invite info was printed onto my cardstock and all my stamping was done after that. The button was threaded with some thin grosgrain ribbon, just adhered in back before matting. I find this design really playful.
This really was super simple to complete; the background stamp makes it easy.

There was a big turnout Thursday night in Lilburn for a vigil honoring a mother and daughter killed in a hit-and-run crash.
Friends, family and neighbors met at the crash site to light candles and pray for 6-year-old Melissa Cervantes and her mother, Maria. There was also music during the vigil with many of the attendees singing in Spanish.
The mother and daughter were walking on the sidewalk last week, when they were hit. One of the victims' relatives who attended Thursday night's vigil said it's been tough on the family.
"Her mom in Mexico is coping with it right now, because it's not present for her yet. We're trying to get her to her in Mexico," said Rebecca Compean'Cervantes.
At the end of the vigil, everyone released white balloons into the air for Maria and Melissa.

You can have the most sophisticated stuff but if your guy sets the password to "0000" and has it written on a post-it stuck under the monitor, it's really no good.
EVERYONE that deploys OCONUS is required by regulation to have a SECRET clearance. If the soldier had access to the secret info when he logged on there is a full page warning about compromising information which you have to acknowledge before you are allowed access.
There is a lot of other training required prior to deployment as well. Bottom line is the soldier willfully disregarded the warnings and leaked the info. He will have to pay the price now.

Agree. The problem is that alot of NCO's do "verbal" counseling so that they don;t have to do paperwork. When the soldier continues to perform badly, there is no record of the bad behavior. Remember that in the Army, If it aint written down, it never happened. So the commanders hands are tied because te regulations REQUIRE a pattern of misconduct or failure to follow established SOP's.

It is expected that soldiers will follow their orders. However, we are also trained to consider the consequences of the orders we are given. And if given an illegal or unlawful order we are obligated to not follow it.
Gunner. Sabot. Sniper. Is not an appropriate use of ammunition.

One of the many advantages of our location is the convergence of several child advocacy organizations in the nation's capital. These organizations often look to Children's National faculty and residents for expertise, and provide ample opportunities for residents from all tracks to get involved. Our residency program adheres to the philosophy that child advocacy is a fundamental skill for every pediatrician. Examples of how we have built advocacy into our curriculum include:
The Child Health Advocacy Institute (CHAI) functions as the hub of Children's National progress in legislative activity, community advocacy, and advocacy-related research. As the first hospital-based department in the country focused exclusively on child health advocacy, CHAI is on the forefront of this space.
Those with deeper interests have additional opportunities in the Community Health Track, which has electives that are available to all residents regardless of track. There also are many other ways for residents to get involved in advocacy, including:

Research Triangle Park News
Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak to Meet with Research Triangle Park Leadership at Elon University
Research Triangle Park, Sept. 30, 2013 - The Research Triangle Park of North Carolina has long been a stronghold for science, technology, research, discovery and creativity. Technology giants like IBM, Cisco, NetApp, EMC maintain large facilities in RTP; even Google maintains an under-the- stealth office in the region.
But there is one company that is not (yet) a significant presence in the area.
Elon University is helping to change that. The school is hosting Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple Inc., at its Fall Convocation ceremony. Wozniak, a Silicon Valley icon who helped revolutionize the personal computer industry and brought computers to the hands of the mass market will serve as Elon's keynote speaker.
But after the ceremony – that's when the real magic will happen. A handful of the region's most vocal community leaders will be meeting privately, afterwards, with "The Woz" himself – to talk all things Triangle.
The Research Triangle Park will be represented by CEO Bob Geolas; VP of Business Development Mason Ailstock; and Communications Director Erin Monday. Also standing in for the Triangle: Tom Miller, vice provost and executive director of NC State University's Entrepreneurship Initiative, HQ Raleigh's Community Manager Liz Tracy; Mital Patel, founder/attorney at Triangle Business Law; and King White, the Elon Triangle Alumni Chapter board member who facilitated the encounter.
Bob Geolas, president and CEO of the Research Triangle Park, said, "Apple – like RTP – stands for creativity and innovation; and we are enthusiastic about welcoming Mr. Wozniak to our area. This is an excellent opportunity to share our vision – and our redevelopment plans – with another entity known for vision."
About Elon
Elon University is an independent, residential liberal arts and sciences university with nationally accredited professional schools of business, communications, education, law and health sciences. Elon, located near Burlington, NC, is known for its spirit of innovation, a strong student-centered mission and commitment to high-impact, engaged educational experiences. The institution is consistently ranked among the nation's leaders in study abroad, volunteer service, undergraduate research, internships and leadership programs.
About the Research Triangle Park
The Research Triangle Park is one of the most storied and successful research parks in the world. Centrally located between three globally prominent universities, and three cultured cities, RTP is the premiere location to experience the unique intersection of research, education, creativity, industry and entrepreneurship.
RTP rests between Duke University, North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and contains 7,000 acres, 40,000 employees, and over 170 companies and organizations, including IBM, Syngenta, Bayer CropScience, The Hamner Institute, Avaya, Cisco, Credit Suisse, Biogen Idec, GlaxoSmithKline, BASF, Stiefel, NetApp, EMC, BD Technologies, North Carolina Biotechnology Center, the National Humanities Center and RTI International.

The Lovely Bones: the bestselling novel by Alice Sebold
Based on her own real-life experience of rape, Alice Sebold uses her traumatic experience to approach an uncomfortable subject with both frankness and sensitivity.
The Lovely Bones is a coming of age story with a difference...the person "coming of age" is dead!
The narrator of The Lovely Bones is Susie Salmon, a 14 year old girl from an ordinary family with the ordinary hopes and dreams of a teenage girl on the brink of adulthood.
Tragically Susie is murdered by a neighbour in 1973 and her body is never found. Her family endure unbearable pain and despair, yet from her own particular version of heaven, Susie watches the lives of those she left behind unfold over a period of years. She watches as her friends and family grieve for her and she sees how her parents grow apart, as the way they deal with her loss sends their lives in different directions. She also watches the man who took her life and the lives of many other young girls and she bides her time...
A movie version of The Lovely Bones was released in 2009.

"My name was Salmon, like the fish; first name, Susie.
I was fourteen when I was murdered on December 6, 1973."

Lovely Bones characters
Jack Salmon – Susie's father, who works for an insurance agency in Pennsylvania.

Lindsey Salmon – Susie's younger sister.
Buckley Salmon – Susie's brother, who is four years old at the time of her disappearance. Buckley is sometimes able to "see" Susie after her death.
Grandma Lynn – Susie's grandmother. Lynn comes to live with Susie's father Jack to help him look after Lindsey and Buckley after Susie's mother leaves home.

Harvey leaves town to continue his murderous exploits elsewhere. Susie watches him as well as her friends and family.

Why I Liked The Lovely Bones!
My review of The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold
Rather than wait to borrow their copy, I bought my own and read it from cover to cover in one sitting.
The plot revolves around a murder victim, a teenage girl called Susie Salmon. Susie tells the story of her life, death and the aftermath, from her own version of "heaven".
Susie is a likable character and she is able to follow the lives of her family, friends and even her murderer from a "fly-on-the-wall" perspective which allows her to be a silent witness to both their actions and their hidden emotions. She also has to come to terms with her new existence in a kind of "heavenly reception area" which she shares with another recently deceased girl. Both girls are under the guidance of a mentor who is there to help them come to terms with what has happened in their own way and in their own time before they themselves move on onto whatever comes next for them .
What I liked was the way in which Alice Sebold (a rape victim herself), used her own experience of a traumatic event to weave a complex tale about how life changing events affect not only the victim but those around them. She manages to do this without resorting to either sensationalism or over-doing the sentimentality aspect. The result is a bittersweet tale of what might have been for Susie and those who care for her. They are all forced by circumstance to undergo an individual journey which eventually takes each of them to the same place – the realisation of the need to accept that what has happened has happened and cannot be changed and that they all have to move on, no matter how hard that seems.
Susie's rape and murder is brutal. Her body is never found, so her family is left to endure perpetual hope mixed with pain and grief at her loss and the fact that they never really obtain "closure". Susie's murderer is a serial killer who has evaded detection successfully and thinks he is beyond the reach of justice and he coolly watches on the sidelines as her family and friends are torn apart.
Bad things happen in "The Lovely Bones" – things that make the reader angry and sad, yet there's more to the story than "just" Susie's terrible death and the devastation caused by it. The themes that run through the book are of love and hope and the overall feel of the story is a positive one.
After I read The Lovely Bones, I found myself thinking a lot about all sorts of things – missed opportunities, relationships that went wrong, how we can so easily take people in our lives for granted because we assume they'll always be there, what happens when we die…so many things…and to me, a story that manages to make people THINK is a good one!
The Lovely Bones is not going to be everyone's cup of tea though, but on the whole Alice Sebold has written a good tale that will engage the majority of it's readers. It's by no means a piece of classic literature, but I don't think it was ever intended to be, despite all the hype!
The Lovely Bones is an interesting read and I suspect that it's the type of book that polarises opinion – people either love it or hate it, with not many in the middle!
Personally speaking, I loved it!

A good read
yellowbrickroad says:
One of the wonderful things about this book is the fact that the child's joy in living comes through. It's a tragic subject treated with a strange gentleness.
chatterless says:
I loved the ending for George Harvey!
NAIZA says:
I already seen the movie but haven't read the book yet. Very nice sad story.
franstan says:
When I started I was unable to put it down
littlezotz says:
I vote that it's "A good read." I feel differently about it--and notice different things--each time I read it. It always leaves me feeling sad, but also a little happy/relieved. Like having a friend die (sad), but knowing they're in a better place (happy/relieved). Not many books deal with the death of a loved one in such a "real" way.
KatBar says:
It was a great read and a very good movie. It was well done considering the topic.
Oliversbabycarecouk says:
Oh i loved 'The lovely bones' such a heart filled story and so sad :( x
Margo_Arrowsmith says:
jptanabe says:
I really enjoyed reading the book. I was never bored, nor turned off by the topic. I think she got it just right!
MissMerFaery says:
I thought it was wonderfully done - Alice took a very delicate subject and wove a completely readable story out of it. I'm not sure I'd want to see the film version of it funnily enough, though. For me, it is one of those books that you read and it touches you, and you leave it at that :)
jackiebolen says:
I loved it! And the movie was great too.
jolielaide75 says:
I loved this book
lostinfiction says:
Loved the book, and I must say, this is a terrific lens too! I wanted to create an author page for Sebold on the Infloox site, but didn't have enough info... then I stumbled across your lens. Good job! :)
sparklenz says:
Yes, definitely. It's a hard book to read as the themes are certainly disturbing. But there is such a transcendent humanity about the story and its treatment. I can't imagine any movie could do the book's complexities justice but I am ready to be surprised by Peter Jackson - if anyone can pull off The Lovely Bones movie, he can.

Beautiful story inspired by Alice's unfortunate experience of being raped as a college student.
samm says:
I LOVED it! Thats all I have to say. One of the best books i've ever read!
Leah says:
This book is amazing. I got choked up on page 25, and cried on page 50. After that i cried a couple more times. I usually don't get THIS much into a book, but i couldn't help myself. I lovedddd it :]
Kelvin says:
I think Mr.Harvey is a bitch !
DongMei says:
One of my favorite books.
EverydayMiracles says:
MASSIVELY overrated. Some books I read, and I like them better when I reflect on them, others fade from memory or I remember them as overdone when I enjoyed them on the first read. The Lovely Bones is one of the latter. I enjoyed it the first time around, but would have said it was nothing special. As time has passed, I've started to realize just how overdone it was.
Of course, my taste in fiction is often unconventional!
3910 says:
Incredibly overrated. Not worth your time. Near the end of the book, I think that the author just kind of went off and did whatever she wanted without thinking. A concept that could have been actually done well put into the genre of chick-lit by an untalented writer.

A 37-year-old man died and an 11-year-old girl were rushed to the hospital after two cars collided along Rt. 1 in Dover, Delaware late Saturday night.
According to Delaware State Police, the accident happened a mile south of Dover Air Force Base shortly after 11 p.m.
Police say a car was traveling northbound on Rt. 1 as another car was headed south.
Both cars swerved simultaneously then struck head on and burst into places, police said.
The driver of the car traveling northbound died as a result of the crash while the 11-year-old passenger was taken to Kent General Hospital. Police say she was later flown to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
The driver of the car that was headed southbound was taken to a hospital with what police say were non-life threatening injuries.
The crash left Rt. 1 closed for five hours as troopers worked to investigate the scene.
It's not yet clear what caused the crash.

The deadline is passed, 25 entries are in, we already have one committment (made just after the deadline), and the first ever Testudo Times Football Recruiting Competition is underway.
This fanpost contains the following:
1. Two images displaying the results of everybody's entries in a spreadsheet. The two pictures are all part of the same spreadsheet, but because of size and clarity issues, i decided to break it up into parts since all 25 entries were not coming out very clear when screenshotted into one image.
2. A third picture that shows the percentages of each school picked for each player. For example, 24 out of 25 participants picked Michael Parker to Maryland. The other participant guessed Virginia. Thus, as you'll see in the image, it shows Maryland 96% and Virginia 4%. These numbers obviously don't really mean anything, i just threw them in there for a bit of extra analysis for anybody that is interested.
3. The current scores after Marcus Newby's committment to Nebraska this morning.
Spreadsheet with entries 1-20: (click the images to make them bigger)
Spreadsheet with entries 21-25:
Percentages of each school chosen:
Scores after Marcus Newby's disappointing committment to Nebraska:The following participants correctly guessed Newby to Nebraska. They all currently sit at 1/1. Everybody else starts in an early hole at 0/1. Chad Ahalt, bking38, MemphisRaines, Proposition Joe Smith, Dirty_Terps, Maryland1206, terpsfinish, MrTerpNC, terpfan92, FearTheTurtle. Congrats to those 10 on your early leads.
If i made any errors entering picks into the spreadsheet, please let me know. I apologize for and will gladly correct any mistakes.
If you wish, you can click the pictures to make them bigger and then right click, "save picture as" in order to save them on your computer for later viewing. That way, you don't have to go digging up this fanpost months from now when you're interested in everybody's picks.
I am planning on doing a sequel to last year's basketball recruiting competition. Most likely that will come out in August. We have 25 participants for this competition, i am hoping to have even more than that for the basketball one.
Please feel free to hit me up with any questions/comments/concerns/suggestions on how to make these competitions better.
Thanks for the entries and good luck to all.

Berg House Café
By the main junction on the highway, this colourful cafe is packed with fossils, gnarled tree roots and other found bits of bric-a-brac, and the traveller-oriented menu runs to pizzas, sandwiches and steaks.
By the main junction on the highway, this colourful cafe is packed with fossils, gnarled tree roots and other found bits of bric-a-brac, and the traveller-oriented menu runs to pizzas, sandwiches and steaks.
Upstairs from the taxi stand (opposite the clock tower), Dharan Kitchen has a calming ambience with bamboo walls and Buddhist motifs, and serves quality Indian and Western food with cheap, cold beer.
It may not be quite as good as it thinks it is (the eponymous founding chef left Nepal years ago), but this place is still a definite cut above the average Thamel restaurant. The menu ranges from Balti chicken (Rs 430) to Irish stew (Rs 605), via such interesting hybrids as seafood thukpa with lemongrass (Rs 480).
You can dine with ambassadors and ministers in this classy top-end restaurant set in a charming former Rana summer palace. The tables on a bridge over a wonderful lily pond add a vaguely colonial Burmese feel, so it's fitting that there are several Southeast Asian dishes on offer. Lunch is light and casual, with wraps, paninis and salads.
Next door to Pilgrims, this reliable and pleasant open-air spot is the place for serious breakfast devotees (huevos rancheros included), with the option of half or full portions. The Mexican and Indian tandoori dishes (dinner only) are excellent and the comfort food spreads to good burgers, nachos and even chilli fries.
This cafe/restaurant in the Garden of Dreams is run by Dwarika's so quality is high. It's a fine place for a light meal (such as savoury crêpes or build-your-own sandwiches), a quiet breakfast or to linger over a pot of tea or something stiffer at the stylish Barkha Bar.
Attached to the Chitwan Tiger Camp on Sunset Point, this restaurant is one of a cluster of laid-back restaurant-bars that stretch along the sandy banks of the Rapti River. They are most popular during elephant bath time and Sauraha's famous sunset.
Upstairs at Traveller's Village, Candy's Place is an unapologetic American comfort-food oasis in Nepalganj. If you've OD'd on daal bhaat, Candy serves up juicy cheese-and-bacon burgers, oven-roasted chicken with real stuffing, and tenderloin steak that can be washed down with an Australian red wine.
Rightfully the most popular choice in Sauraha, KC's is set in a cool, thatch-roofed bungalow with an open terrace overlooking the manicured garden and a fire pit at the back for winter dinners. The chefs here look the part and the well-executed menu runs from Nepali and Indian curries to pizzas and pasta. We recommend the top-up-able thalis and authentic tandoori dishes.
Helena's is deservedly popular for its set breakfasts, one of the highest rooftops in Thamel, its cosy interior and super-friendly service. It has a wide range of kebabs, good cakes, tandoori dishes, steaks and even Bengali-style kathi rolls. If you are heading off trekking, consider breakfast on the 8th floor a form of high-altitude training.
Hidden down an alley opposite Pilgrims Book House, New Orleans boasts a relaxed and intimate candlelit vibe and a great selection of music, live on Wednesdays. It's a popular spot for a drink but the menu also ranges far and wide, from Thai curries and good burgers to Creole jambalaya and oven-roasted vegies, plus good breakfasts.
The much-loved Moondance is a Lakeside institution and deservedly so. Quality food, good service and a roaring open fire all contribute to the popularity of this tastefully decorated restaurant. Its menu features salads, pizzas, imported steaks and excellent Indian and Thai curries. For dessert, the lemon meringue pie is legendary.

These bindings are crazy responsive. Favorite thing about these bindings was after hitting a kicker or doing a drop there did not seem to be much impact at all on my knees and legs the bindings really seemed to absorb allot of that shock.

I mainly do big mountain riding and this board straight up kills everything that gets put in its way, I was amazed just how much more control I had riding this board, I was able to do things I normally would not feel comfortable doing on this board.
I also took a few laps in the park and it was awesome on the kickers as we'll as the rails and boxes.
Oh and this board straight up halls ass down the mountain.

These goggles straight up just do not fog! I have had a problem with all my goggles fogging in really low temperature but these goggles just straight up kill it! Plus they look super sick!

They seem to be super durable I have had a few crashes in these that I though would leave a big mark or tear even but when I looked they were still looking brand new. These are quite warm my legs have never been cold in these and I only wear 1 layer, so yeah killer pants!

First off I did not know to much about Sabre but for the look and the price I could not resist giving them a go. That's these have been my best goggles yet I have had some Oakley s, Electrics and Smiths and these are by far my favorite and funny enough the cheapest.
These Goggles have never fogged up on me either. Only thing I think this goggle could improve on is making switching out lens a little easier.

I bought this board just for the occasional cruise around but now I take it everywhere with me I ride it on campus, to work, on trails etc. super smooth and awesome turning I love this board.
