Lloyd: What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me... ending up together?
Mary: Well, Lloyd, that's difficult to say. I mean, we don't really...
Lloyd: Hit me with it! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you, Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary: I'd say more like one out of a million.
Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance... *YEAH!*
Although the odds were stacked against the little guy, It sounds like he beat the odds and is good to go for tonights game.
Now i've had a few glasses of koolaid already this morning so i'm just gonna go ahead and pencil Banks in for one TD return and a few 40+ yarders.

Reality Wrap: Week ?
The Biggest Loser~ All I can say is WOW! The contestants looked amazing! (Although Rebecca looks like she's trying to be a hooker!) I was floored by Crazy Tracey. She really seems to have pulled it together. I thought for sure that Rudy had it won when he got weighed, but Danny blew past him. Danny looked worried at first. I am guessing the contestants aren't allowed to weigh themselves to they get all the drama/excitement that goes with each weigh in. While Rudy & the others might not have won the money, they certainly won health and a longer life!!
The Amazing Race~ That final episode was short and not very exciting. I cannot believe how many commercials there were. They could have made a Las Vegas leg WAY more interesting. And the Alpha couple that dominated the game winning...zzzzzzzzzzzz!! I've read somewhere that Brian/Erika got ripped off. The dealer that was counting their chips made a mistake and mixed one chip into another pile which had them off by a few hundred. I guess the dealer was mortified by their mistake and Brian/Erika might have won if she didn't make the mistake. Who knows? The 16th season is being run right now and the spoilers are already out there. I don't read the spoilers at all but I heard there are several mactors competing. I think one is the old guy from Big Bro and that ditzy beauty pageant contestant who couldn't answer some basic geography question. (not the same team) Should be interesting!!
DH~ I just watched the Christmas episode last night. I have no idea when it aired, but I think that is the last new episode we will see for several weeks. I've found the last several eps to be VERY boring, but this ep was GREAT! It really built things up and then left them as a HUGE cliffhanger. So who died? I am guessing Mona and Karl. Orson was so easy going and agreeable with Bree when she asked for the divorce that you just knew something was up. It doesn't make sense for Orson to die because then Bree can just go on with her life. But Orson surviving, his ego coming into play, and him being able to hold things over Bree seems to make sense. Lynette saved Celia's life, so she is going to be a hero to Gabby now. I just hope the excitement of this episode spills over into the new year.
Survivor~ OK...Russell keeps dominating and I am loving it. It's funny how someone so repulsive can grow on you. LOL! I love how they pagonged all the other team off. And now it's just Shambo (who that team didn't like at all) and Brent left. Or is it Brett? I am not sure. It seems like they just snuck him into the show a few weeks ago. He was so invisible before. He's not getting the edit, so I don't think he wins. Based on the edit...Russell is the winner. The preview for tonight make it look like the remaining 6 divide up into 2 groups of 3~ Russell, Shambo, and Jaison and then McDreamy, Natalie, and invisible boy Brett. My money (all 5 cents of it) is on Russhamson. LOL! What do you think? I'll have to do another little wrap up before Sunday's finale!

Survivor will be interesting for sure. I have a love/hate relationship with Russhamson, LOL. I was a little bored with AR too, hope next season is more exciting, interesting to hear about Brian & Erica, I was really pulling for them.ReplyDelete
I'm not crazy about Rebecca's new hair style/color and I still don't get her and Daniel as a couple. But I do admire their hard work--I know I couldn't do it!ReplyDelete
Biggest Loser is my all-time favorite show. So inspirational.ReplyDelete
Following you too!
Thanks for stopping by! I am following you now...ReplyDelete
I thought my DVR was working for the Biggest Loser Finale. NOPE. It had a mind of it's own and didn't record it. But I saw Danny in In Touch Weekly and OMG! He looks amazing!ReplyDelete
The Amazing Race- Wow. That's all I can say. I really didn't like Brian and Erica. Her whining drove me NUTS! I was glad that Cheyne and (I forgot her name) won! They worked really hard and hardly ever yelled at each other. They worked as a team and got the job done.
Survivor- I can NOT stand Russell. I want them to vote him off more than anything.
Great post! I'm now following from
I haven't watched DH in a while... I need to catch up!! All I get to watch these days are programs from Playhouse Disney.ReplyDelete

Off shore winds, glassy and head high. A perfect day to surf Linda Mar. But on this morning hardly anyone was thinking about surfing.
Just before sunrise on June 15, friends and family gathered to say goodbye to fallen San Francisco Firefighter, and Linda Mar surfer, Anthony "Tony" Valerio.
Valerio and Lieutenant Vincent Perez passed away earlier in the month battling a three-alarm blaze in San Francisco. On Friday, June 10, thousands of firefighters, politicians family and area residents officially said goodbye to the two in a funeral wake and mass held at St. Mary's Cathedral. The morning tribute at Linda Mar would be much more low key.
"He really loved surfing and would really want this," said Jacqueline Samsel, Valerio's sister.
As the sun came up, the feeling on the beach was more of a celebration as surfers, fellow firefighters, family and friends remembered the man.
They gathered in the south parking lot, talked a little story, took some photos, shared tears and hugs, held an impromptu safety briefing and then headed down to the south end of the beach to paddle out. In front of the boat docks, some dawned orchid leis and others clenched bundles of flowers in their teeth.
Once everybody made it outside of the surf line, including members of Valerio's family, the group formed a circle, joined hands and told stories of his life, mostly all humorous. Of course, he was a surfer. And as each story concluded the circle would raise their joined hands and yell "Aloha" in his remembrance.
Like firefighters, there's a strong brotherhood amongst surfers. The paddle out circle, a tradition adopted from the Hawaiians, is how the surfing community honors both life and death. Valerio had a true sense of Ohana, the Hawaiian word for family. This morning he brought together all the members of his Ohana.
Valerio was an avid surfer for nearly thirty years and would make his way down to Linda Mar to surf as often as he could. He was born in Ft. Manmouth, NJ, but grew up in South City only a few minutes drive to his home break.
He not only excelled at surfing but also was an avid scuba diver, hang glider and all around athlete. He loved to travel and also mastered the art of sourdough bread making. Valerio was praised by all for his compassion, kindness and patience on and off the job. Known to family and friends as one of the happiest people you could ever meet, his passion for life was contagious. His life was an adventure, filled with friends, family, and interests, said his sister Jacqueline.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the flowers were tossed into the middle of the circle and the water was splashed to the sky as the group hooted and hollered Valerio's name.
After the tribute finished, a set rolled in and many stayed in the water to ride one more wave with Tony.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Local homeless shelters are taking more people in to get out of the cold and it's causing a strain on budgets. The cafeteria at Wayside Christian Mission's Emergency Shelter was turned into sleeping quarters Tuesday night. Officials say after all the beds filled up, nearly 100 more people were allowed in under the white flag policy. "We don't want anyone to freeze to death on the streets because they can't get into shelter," Wayside Chief Operating Officer Nina Moseley.
The 'white flag' goes into effect when the weather gets dangerously cold or hot. While it saves lives, Moseley says it's expensive. More people means more food on top of other expenses to keep the shelter going.
"Normally, the city does supply some white flag money, which the Coalition for the Homeless then divvies out according to how many people you have kept on white flag, that money is depleted now for this year and it seems like we have a long way ahead of us for the winter," Moseley said.
Louisville's Coalition for the Homeless Executive Director Natalie Harris says the agency had less federal funds to work with this year. While $34,200 was directed to the city's white flag operation in each of the past three fiscal years, this year is was only $19,300. There may be some more help on the way, though.
LG&E spokesperson Natasha Collins confirms to WDRB that a grant for city homeless shelters will likely be announced Thursday. She says details are still being worked out. "We always rely on the generosity of the community, that's what we do, and they do come through for us," Moseley said.
In Indiana, Haven House is also packed. They also honor white flag but don't get any funding for it. "We're it in 14 counties, and we have people from several of those counties right now," Haven House Executive Director Barbara Anderson, noting how many people the shelter serves.
She says more than 90 people are staying there right now and a comfortable capacity is 60.
"It's the worst winter we've had in a long time, where it stretches out as long as it has," Anderson said. The shelter is running low on food and supplies and $25,000 approved from the New Albany City Council will be critical to help them through the winter, according to Anderson.
"It does have a huge impact, we'll be able stock our freezers, we'll be able to pay the bills without scrambling to pay the bills for a little while," she said. To learn more about how you can help these Wayside Christian Mission, click here. To learn more about Haven House, click here.

This week ZOFT Gum Company, a major manufacturer of functional gums that deliver health and medical benefits, announced their new capability of producing tableted products including tableted chewing gum, lozenges (fast melt or slow dissolve), chewable tablets, pressed confectionery candy and mints. These new products are made with a direct compression process.
"We specialize in developing and contract manufacturing products that provide faster absorption of active ingredients in chewing gum and lozenge dosage forms. Using tableted products as a delivery system, the actives are absorbed through the mucous membrane lining inside the mouth. This causes faster results than products using conventional oral absorption in capsule or liquid dosage said Heather Collins, ZOFT Media Representative.
ZOFT Gum Company can custom formulate a product

The Portland Trail Blazers have invited Adam Morrison to join them at training camp, according to SI's Sam Amick. Morrison will try to earn a spot on the Blazers roster after Elliot Williams suffered a season-ending injury last week.
The former Gonzaga star spent last year playing in Serbia and Turkey, and has not played in the NBA since April 2010.
Morrison, who was a first-round pick by the Charlotte Bobcats in 2006, has recently been playing with the Clippers' summer league team. Although the Clippers opted to not sign Morrison, the 6'8 small forward managed to turn some heads.
Said Morrison's agent Mark Bartlestein,
"What (Morrison) did this summer (with the Clippers) was tremendous. He was as good as anybody in Las Vegas -- probably the best offensive player in Vegas. We've been looking around, trying to find the right opportunity."
Morrison will now have an opportunity to be a Trail Blazer at the start of the season, which is Oct. 31 for Portland.
For more on the Blazers, head to Blazers Edge.

We complained last year that we could not stream the Oscars live on the Internet and questioned whether we ever would get to the point where we'd be able to. Well, it appears Canadian broadcaster CTV took note and for the first time in the history of the show you'll indeed be able to watch the broadcast live online at CTV.ca. On top of that, Lainey Gossip and MTV Movie Night's Matt Wells will be live chatting with viewers online during the broadcast.
For those who care more about who's there and the what they're wearing, you'll also be able to catch CTV's red carpet coverage with eTalk's Ben Mulroney and E!'s Leah Miller starting at 6 p.m. ET.
Unfortunately, you still won't be able to watch the show on the CTV iPhone or iPad app, but you can stream it on the CTV Mobile channel on Bell Mobile TV.
The 2013 Oscars air Sunday, February 24 at 8:30 p.m. ET. For a list of nominees, visit oscar.com.
Will you be watching the Oscars online this year? Let us know in the comments below or on our Facebook page.

shoji, Japanese Shōji, in Japanese architecture, sliding outer partition doors and windows made of a latticework wooden frame and covered with a tough, translucent white paper. When closed, they softly diffuse light throughout the house.
In summer they are often removed completely, opening the house to the outside—a desirable arrangement in Japan because of the extreme humidity. The shoji is a feature of the shoin style, which first appeared in the Kamakura period (1192–1333).

Congregation Beth El Binah began as a Jewish havurah (fellowship) in 1983. The first event was a break-the-fast after Yom Kippur services that were held at the home of Mike Grossman and George Amerson. For the next several years, the group held Chanukah parties, Passover seders and break the fasts. They often attended services together at Temple Emanu-el.
By 1990, the group began meeting more regularly in private homes once a month for a Friday night Shabbat service and once a month for a Saturday night havdallah (end of Shabbat) service. On the high holidays (Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, which take place in September or October), they continued to attend Temple Emanu-el. By 1992, the group began meeting on the second and fourth Fridays at the new Gay and Lesbian Community Center on Reagan Street for Shabbat services and was becoming its own separate congregation.

The Economy and Healthcare
This hard working man has spent the last 18 months out of work, made redundant in the heat of the recession. Just two months ago he finally landed a great, competitive job which he loves (and his evaluations have been outstanding to date) and is finally beginning to right his personal economic boat. Taking the necessary time off of work, he feels, would jeopardize his job-there are 30 or more talented individuals who would gladly snap his position up. Bad timing all around.
I find it really difficult at times like these to remain a dispassionate neurosurgeon. This man is suffering great pain and disability. He has taken no time off of work and even refuses most medicines because he wants to perform well every minute at work. Firing him because of having surgery would be wrong and probably illegal but as a large company, I suspect they could find some way to handle that. Being ill is hard enough, having those issues compounded by fear and financial insecurity has to aggravate the problem considerably. Of course, I understand that the company needs him at work-that is why they hired him-and what good alternative do they have?
No one plans to have a medical problem and this many has done all the right "health" things (not overweight, exercises, goes to the doctor regularly, etc.) but nature can get in the way. I am glad that I help many patients in my practice because when faced with this patient, I felt largely helpless. I just hope the time I took to talk with him, reassure him, adjust his medications to try and get some relief will help in some small way.

For all intents and purposes, barring a miracle run in the ACC tournament, our season ended last night in extremely frustrating fashion against a relatively average Miami team. It certainly FELT like a new low for this program---not able to even muster a fight against a cellar dwelling ACC team with our tournament hopes on the line. But now is the time for true fans to take a step back, allow the anger to come and go, and realize that the future is extremely bright for the Terps.
I'll be the first to admitt I expected better from this group of kids---at least an NCAA birth. I even wrote a fanpost arguing that we had Sweet 16 potential at the beginning of the year. Clearly, I was wrong. Simply put, our upper classmen just didn't have it. Cliff fell off the face of the earth, Adrian Bowie's game kind of regressed a bit and Dino Gregory---while he is a great mid range shooter and a hustle kind of guy---got out muscled in key games. It's tough to win when those three things happen.
But look at what happened in terms of the positives. Terrell Stoglin is on a 5 game run that no freshman point guard in the country can compete with right now. Pe' Shon Howard looks to me to be a solid "glue" guy with some upside on his outside shot. He also has demonstrated an already unreal ability to make jaw-dropping assists. Hawk Palsson has shown an ability to step outside and hit a 3, as well as a willingness to bang inside. If he puts on some weight and keeps working on that shot--he will be a solid ACC contributor next season.
Now let's look at what we have coming in. What was the ONE thing that we missed this year? Undoubtedly a lights out 3 point shooter. Stogs and Howard can use their strength to get in the lane all day every day, the only problem is it doesn't do the team any good because nobody can hit a shot on the kick out with any consistency. Well by all accounts Nick Faust will be able to hit that shot consistently. And by all accounts Bruenig has the ability to step out as well. (I am not really sure on gibbs' ability to drain it). This coupled with the fact that I expect guys like Stogs, Howard and Palsson to shoot with more confidence and a better percentage next year, and I think we could be one of the better outside shooting teams in the conference. This in turn will open things up for JWill down low and now our opponents have problems.
Now--if Gary can go get Greg Whittington we are in business. The only thing I see missing from next year's team is a true 3 who can score (we all know Mosely is niether a true 3, nor can he score). Whittington appears to be that---and having him on campus could light a fire under Parker's stomach.
Here's how I see our Rotation:
C: Jwill/Padge
PF: Breunig/Hawk/Pankey
SF: Mosely/(Whittington?)/Parker
SG: Howard/Faust/Gibbs
PG: Stoglin (with Howard/Gibbs spelling)
To me this is at the very least a tournament team. I feel pretty comfortable saying that. Losing Dino might hurt a bit at first while Bruenig Hawk and Pankey struggle to emerge at the 4---but losing bowie and tucker might just be addition by subtraction before long.
Now this could all go horribly wrong if JWill packs it up and heads to the NBA. That's gary's biggest recruiting job---but my gut says JWill would be foolish to jump this year. He really did not have a good end to the year by his standards.
So just take a deep breath---and look at what we have in store next year. The future looks pretty bright.
(P.S. to the admins I think a little breakdown of individual players games/progression at the end of the season might be a cool feature)

David Glenn chats with Ralph about the upcoming season...Nothing too suprising, but a good comfort for the upcoming season.
Talks about his job uncertainity...Maryland's location issues for recruiting...among various things.
It is safe to say that this season is where Ralph needs to prove things.
Last year, I went to the Maryland-Duke game in Durham. Debbie Yow said that Maryland fans are great because they are the most "patient"...Well Debbie, we can only be so patient. We are a big program and we can't be having dissapointing seasons. Change needs to happen if this continues.

Daily Prompt: The Heat is On
The high-tech world is fueled by pizza. If it had not already been invented, a group of developers trying to meet a deadline would have had to invent it.
I could have invented it myself. As the only non-engineer on a development team, I was supposed to know about things like food. And complete sentences. And the difference between active and passive forms. Whew. That was why they paid me the big bucks.
The world in which I worked most of my life required tons of creativity and productivity. To keep these going, three key ingredients were needed:
- Computers
- Coffee
- Pizza.
We could have posted a sign outside the offices which said "We work for pizza!"
Because essentially — not counting salaries — that's what kept us going. I never missed a deadline. No one else did either. When our efforts seemed in danger of flagging, copious amounts of pizza appeared in various permutation. Of course, there were plenty of computers and endless amounts of coffee too. That went without saying.
I do not believe any developer I know would work in an office where one actually pays for coffee. Blasphemy!
Question: How do you know when your development team has been working too much overtime?
Answer: When someone says "Can we have something to eat that isn't pizza?"
No. Not really. And don't forget to make fresh coffee.

OK gang, before we get all "wild and crazy" about yet ANOTHER trade proposal, I just want to say that the way the Lottery went down last night makes LeBron James's potential suitors change that dramatically. This is part 1 of a 3-part dream scenario, so here goes nothing.
Cleveland would have to agree to a Sign-and-Trade in order to move LeBron to Houston. Houston doesn't have the cap space to sign King James to an outright max contract, and getting the 6-year deal from Cleveland would give him the maximum deal. For Cleveland it would be best that if they lose their star piece to pick up something in return. The salary values are approximate and are based off the ESPN trade machine. Salaries could be higher for the 2010-11 cap.
Trade option A: Houston sends Kevin Martin (9.7M), Jordan Hill (2.5M), Jermaine Taylor (0.7M) and Jared Jeffries (6.5M) to Cleveland for LeBron James (16M) and Delonte West (4.6M). The Cavs get a chance to start over. Adding Martin gives them a 20ppg scorer to pair with Mo Williams and Antwan Jamison. Hill can come off the bench behind Jamison and Varejao to be a 3rd big man. Taylor takes West's spot off the bench and Jeffries is an expiring deal. Houston moves Ariza to the 2-guard spot and goes with Brooks/Ariza/James/Scola/Yao with Lowry/Budinger/Battier/Hayes/Andersen on the second unit.. The major weakness is the frontcourt depth, but the addition of a big man with the 14th pick could mitigate that with time. After all, David Andersen did look at least OK for stretches last year before getting hurt.
Trade option B: Houston sends Martin, Hill, Taylor and Shane Battier (7M) to Cleveland for James and Jamario Moon (3M). This seems more realistic in that Cleveland would pick up a team leader in Battier, a scorer in Martin, a reserve big man in Hill who they can grow and groom and a potential sparkplug off the bench in Taylor. Houston gets King James and Moon to backup the SF position. Combining Brooks/Ariza/LeBron/Scola/Yao with Lowry/Budinger/Moon/Hayes/Jeffries doesn't seem bad, but there's no interior offense off the bench.
Trade option C: Houston sends Martin (9.7M), Jeffries (6.5M), Hill (2.5M), Taylor (0.7M), and Shane Battier (7M) to Cleveland for James (16M), West (4.6M) and Daniel Gibson (4.1M). Does this really happen? No, 99.99% not, but a move like this would change both teams up. For us, we'd get a nice wing player in West and Gibson does have talent to be a 3rd PG or if we can't bring Lowry back be Brook's backup.
Could this work out? LeBron in Houston would be similar to the 09 Cavs though: Yao may become Ilgauskas offensively, Scola is a better offensive Varejao, and Brooks is probably a duplicate Mo Williams. Would that entice James to join Houston? We don't really know.
What do you guys think about this idea?

WHAT'S ONLINE; Dinosaurs Go Digital
By DAN MITCHELL
Published: July 29, 2006
FOR a good part of the last decade, members of the heavy metal band Metallica have been known more for their opinions about music downloading -- both legal and illegal -- than for their music.
Only stalwart fans talk much about the band's music these days. The 2003 South Park episode lampooning Metallica as a group of dimwitted has-beens willing to trade in their musical vision for a few more wads of cash is more of a cultural touchstone than the group's latest album, St. Anger, released that same year.
Metallica's fight against Napster -- back when Napster was a tool for stealing songs -- brought needed attention to the subject. But in 2003 the group yanked its music from iTunes for ''artistic reasons,'' giving up a large and growing revenue stream, but also alienating a large part of its fan base.
''We would rather not contribute to the demise of the album format,'' the band declared. The group said it was removing its work from iTunes because of that service's ability to offer single tracks. For several years, Metallica has offered complete albums for download on some services, including MSN Music.
While the band's outspokenness has led to a lot of publicity, it has not done much for Metallica's reputation. That became apparent this week when bloggers and others registered their contempt for the band -- ''one of the most visible holdouts in the world of digital music,'' according to Podcasting News (podcastingnews.com) -- when it finally decided to make its music available on iTunes.
Until now, wrote Mark Morford, who blogs for The San Francisco Chronicle, the band member Lars Ulrich ''just couldn't face the embarrassment of offering up his precious band's albums at under 10 bucks a pop after being the lead crusader of the whiny anti-downloading anti-Napster set for all those irritating years.'' (sfgate.com)
''Now that the album format is dead and buried,'' wrote John Paczkowski in the Good Morning Silicon Valley blog (siliconvalley.com), ''it's a different story.''
Very different. On Metallica.com this week, the band announced that ''At 12:01 a.m., on Tuesday, July 25, we will begin offering our music on the iTunes Music Store, a Cupertino, CA based upstart outfit, who we feel may very well have a bright future.''
Fans are still awaiting several big-name acts to finally join iTunes. They include Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Radiohead, and, especially, the Beatles.
POWER ON THE FLY -- At the departure gates in the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, there are electrical outlets on the wall at the end of the windows. Unfortunately, they aren't near the seats, so if you want to plug your laptop in, you'll have to sit on the floor.
This information comes by way of the AirPower Wiki, a new Web site where users share information on the often-hidden sources of power in airports around the world. As of Thursday, there were about 50 entries, from the outlets at the base of the fire hoses at Spain's Madrid Barajas Airport to those behind the automatic teller machines at Chicago's O'Hare International. (wiki.jeffsandquist.com)
CITIZEN TRUMP -- The documentary filmmaker Errol Morris had an idea for a film, which he called ''Movie Movie,'' in which he would have public figures like Mikhail Gorbachev and Donald Trump star in remakes of their favorite screen epics. He never made the movie, but in the ''aborted projects'' section of his Web site, Mr. Morris features a video interview with Mr. Trump about his favorite, ''Citizen Kane.''
Mr. Trump spends a good portion of his commentary discussing the role wealth played in destroying Charles Foster Kane's marriage. He notes the scenes of the breakfast table getting wider and wider, further separating the spouses as Mr. Kane's wealth grows. Mr. Trump gives a wistful look and tells the camera, ''Perhaps I can understand that.''
For Kane's wife, Emily, the marriage was ''probably not a great one for her, although there were benefits for her.'' But ''in the end, she was not a happy camper.'' DAN MITCHELL

This thread has now been moved!! Here is the continuation.
It is Spreading: Looks like offseason fever is rampant for fans all across SB Nation. Someone emailed me about the possibility of spreading this game to some other sites, and while I didn't feel comfortable doing it myself since I don't frequent any other SBNation blogs, I invited him to do it on his own. As of now it looks like it has spread to the Pride of Detriot, and Acme Packing Company. I'll post links their pages here so you can see how well the Titans are liked with other fans! I do ask that you PLEASE not go and vote for the Titans in their games. This is supposed to be for true fans of the respective teams only, and doing something like that completely ruins the purpose of the whole thing.

The KWWL Game of the Week, chosen by a near record number of votes, was a great matchup in 3A District 6 between fifth ranked Boone and South Tama. Both teams entered the night unbeaten in district play, so it was a defacto showdown for the district championship.
It was also a chance for the South Tama team to bring a moment of celebration to what has been an incredibly difficult week for the school district.
Cross country runner and 8th grader, 13-year-old Ian McFate, was hit by a car on Monday during a practice run. He died on Tuesday.
Ian's parents, Mark and Christine McFate, are deeply involved in the community. Mark is on the South Tama school board and Christine is a vocal music teacher at South Tama.
The Trojans pulled their helmet stickers and wore solid black to honor the memory of Ian.
"Before the game, we all talked about taking the stickers off our helmets and that's why we're wearing completely black helmets is in memory of Ian McFate. We've got guys with 'RIP Ian' and 'Ian McFate.' This is a tribute to him. He was a great kid, and everyone really liked him, so this is a tribute to him. Definitely," South Tama quarterback Sam Kuhter said.
After a big red zone stop, Kyle Stepheson took it coast to coast 95 yards making it 7 nothing Trojans.
And they'd later repeat it. Sam Kuhter on the quarterback keeper, from the 15 and he goes 85 yards.
Boone finally found the board on their third trip to the red zone.
But South Tama's Kuhter wasn't done, going 20 yards for the score, making it 20 to 7 Trojans.
During the second half, Boone tries to make the game as Johnny Mack scored from the 2, they'd pull within 13 after 3.
In the end, South Tama takes down #5 Boone 37 to 14.
"We think that we're this good, but you know, you've got to prove it, and we beat a good team tonight, and hopefully this gives us a good seed in the playoffs. It guarantees we're in there obviously, and we want to go deep," South Tama Head Coach Jay Hoskey said.

A FREELANCE photographer hit his wife in the face as she slept, the latest in a number of 'violent attacks', a court heard.
Darren Thomas Roberts attacked Charlotte Roberts after they had been on a night out in Wrexham for New Year's Eve and 'pulled her down the stairs' of their home before trapping her arm in a door frame.
It was revealed that Roberts, 33, had three previous convictions in 2009 and 2010 for assaults on his wife.
He was sentenced to a 120-day custodial sentence, suspended for a year, at Wrexham Magistrates Court yesterday after pleading guilty to assault on February 5.
Appearing from custody, Roberts, of Montgomery Road, Caia Park, was also given a 12-month supervision order and banned from all licensed premises for six months.
He was ordered not to contact Mrs Roberts for the next three years, unless contact is made via his parents.
He is also prevented from going to Montgomery Road for three years.
Matthew Ellis, prosecuting, said the couple had gone into Wrexham town centre on December 31, drinking two pitchers of ciders between them at a bingo hall between 7pm and 10pm before walking to Chequers wine bar on Church Street.
The pair became separated in the bar and Mrs Roberts opted to get a taxi back to their home. On her return Roberts was not in the house.
She put a key under the doormat for him and locked the doors before falling asleep under a quilt on the front room sofa.
She woke up with her face hurting and nose bleeding, with Roberts standing over her accusing her of "sleeping with a member of the door staff" at a Wrexham bar.
She went to go upstairs to get her mobile phone but Roberts pulled her back down the stairs before she attempted to make a call on the landline, which she found had been disconnected by her husband.
The front door was locked and she tried to get out of the house through the back door, but Roberts shut the door as she was about to escape, "slamming it on her arm", causing bruising to the arm.
She eventually managed to get out and ran towards the town centre, with Roberts shouting at her from behind: 'Hurry up and die'. Mrs Roberts took shelter at Tesco on Salop Road, where she told staff about her ordeal and they called the police.
Following his arrest, Roberts told police his wife had drunk too much on their night out and was "being silly" in the bar before they separated.
He told police she had fallen down the stairs rather than being dragged down by him and said she had tried to kick him.
Euros Jones, defending, said Roberts accepted he needed help with his "drinking problems" and that his relationship with his wife "was over".
Summing up, district judge Gwyn Jones, said: "This matter has caused me great concern and there has been a history of violent domestic attacks between you and your now ex-partner.
"There have been several previous assaults on your wife and you appear to have significant trust issues.
"These trust issues are completely of your own making and when you are intoxicated you become a person who does not trust anybody but yourself."
District judge Jones added: "I would have no problem giving you an immediate custodial sentence today but I'm prepared to see whether a suspended sentence will have a desired effect on you."
In addition to the suspended sentence and restraining orders, Roberts was ordered to take part in an integrated domestic abuse programme (IDAP) and must pay £85 costs and an £80 victim surcharge.

There's a semi-secret feel to this place on a slightly dodgy cobbled street in old school Soho. Inside diners sit at a horseshoe bar, with the queue forming behind you. Terrific food in small plates, decor's lovely, overall vibe is wonderful. Staff are cool but not too cool and happily push cocktails your way. If they took reservations, I'd be here ALL the time – as it is, you can wait 45 mins for a table at peak times.

Around 2 a.m. the Winter Haven police say a car crashed in to a creek on the side of the road leaving two dead including former Florida State football coach Bobby Bowden's grandson.
The car was located at Country Club Road South, between Dundee Rd and Lake Hamilton Rd, upside down and about 2/3 submerged in water in what can be described as a creek or ditch. The wood fence where the car appears to have entered the embankment and down into the water was also broken. Police suspect alcohol was involved.
Winter Haven Police, PCSO Deputies, Fire/EMS, and the PCSO dive team arrived on-scene. There were no signs of life from within the car during the numerous efforts by first responders to locate any survivors. The front end of the car was completely submerged, and a portion of the back end was sticking up out of the water. The deceased driver was 25-year-old Rafael Fernandes de Auguiar-Valini of Winter Haven and the front-seat passenger was 23-year-old Taylor Jeffrey Bowden of Winter Haven.
The deputies on the dive team who were in the water heard noises coming from within the car. They established communication with a man who was inside the car, telling deputies he was cold and needed help. Up until this point in time the victim had made no noise and did not respond to any of the first responders' efforts to locate survivors.
The dive team, comprised of Deputy Sheriff Jeff Kistler and Deputy Sheriff Bob Clayton, rescued 22-year-old Robert Lewis Edwards, who was a back seat passenger during the time of the crash. The victim was submerged in the water up to his neck. He is being treated for hypothermia and other injuries at Winter Haven Hospital.
He has been interviewed by deputies but is not completely lucid. Deputies are still trying to determine exactly when and how the crash occurred. So far it does appear that this car was the only car involved, and that it was heading northbound on Country Club Road when, for unknown reasons, it left the roadway across the southbound lane, through a fence, down an embankment, ending up upside down in the water. The depth of the water is about 5 feet.
The dive team located two deceased victims in the front of the car, which was completely submerged. One appears to be the driver, and one the front seat passenger. Both are adult males.

Air pollution - Drivers and pressures (Poland)
- Topic
- Air pollution
In the 1990s and the first years of this century, a regular fall in emissions of all main air pollutants was observed in Poland, particularly of sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide. This fall was largely associated with the restructuring and modernisation of the energy and industrial sectors, and improvements in the quality of coal. Since 2003, emissions of the majority of pollutants have been comparable or, as in the case of sulphur dioxide, emissions have fallen year by year, but not to the same degree as in the 1990s (Fig. 5).
It is worth pointing out that the systematic development of the Polish economy in terms of GDP has not resulted in an increase in atmospheric emissions. This is the result of the increasing use of environmentally friendly technologies (Fig. 6).
The effect of balancing the environmental impact of dynamic economic development by implementing modern technological and technical solutions is particularly expressed in transport. Over the past decade, approximately 6.5 million vehicles have been registered in Poland, but this has not translated into increased emissions in this sector (Fig. 7).
At the same time, increasing living standards in Poland and growing environmental awareness among the general public mean that people are more willing to use environmentally friendly methods in their households. The growing amount of environmental data and information, and its increasing accessibility, play an important role in raising environmental awareness and shaping environmentally friendly behaviour.

The PSLRA provides that "all discovery and other proceedings shall be stayed during the pendency of any motion to dismiss, unless the court finds upon the motion of any party that particularized discovery is necessary to preserve evidence or to prevent undue prejudice to that party." Whether a plaintiff suffers undue prejudice if not provided with documents that have already been produced to a government agency has been the subject of a number of judicial decisions.
Despite an initial split over the issue, in the past few years plaintiffs generally have been unsuccessful in arguing that there is a "government investigation" exception to the discovery stay. As noted in a recent S.D.N.Y. decision, even if it would be easy for the defendant to produce documents that had already been produced to the government, "the mere fact that the discovery stay will prevent Plaintiffs from collecting evidence to assist in potential settlement negotiations or plan their litigation strategy does not constitute undue prejudice." 380544 Canada, Inc. v. Aspen Technology, Inc., 2007 WL 2049738 (S.D.N.Y. July 18, 2007) (finding that there were no "exceptional circumstances," such as the possibility that the plaintiff would be left without a recovery because of the defendant's bankruptcy).
In the absence of appellate court affirmance of the prevailing position, however, there is always the possibility that a district court will decide to turn back the clock. Last week, in Waldman v. Wachovia Corp., 2009 WL 86763 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 12, 2009), the court considered a request to partially lift the discovery stay in an auction rate securities case to obtain documents produced to the SEC. The court found that because "lead plaintiffs must determine whether to continue with this case despite the settlement reached between the defendants and the SEC," they had sufficiently demonstrated "undue prejudice."
Holding: Motion to partially lift the PSLRA discovery stay granted.Posted by Lyle Roberts at January 22, 2009 8:42 PM | TrackBack

Saw this topic posted on another blog and thought it may be fun to see who everyone's top favorite Redskins may be. Below are my top 10 favorite (not necessarily the top 10 best) Redskins:
1. Larry Brown - never saw a RB run w/more heart.
2. Charlie Taylor - possibly the top receiver of his time.
3. John Riggins - his TD run vs. Miami in the Super Bowl was the most memorable moment in Redskins history in my opinon.
4. Doug Williams - played the best quarter of football I've ever seen in that Super Bowl vs. Denver
5. Ken Houston - he and Jack Tatum paved the way for Ronnie Lott.
6. Coy Bacon - just a sack machine, yet always underrated in my opinion.
7. Darrell Green - consumate pro and many memorable moments (dragging Dorsett down from behind, the punt return vs. Chicago in the playoffs, etc.).
8. Terry Allen - another in a long line of undersized, tough runners who live between the tackles.
9. Chris Hanburger - a playmaker who wreaked havoc for the Over-the-Hill Gang
10. Art Monk - similar to Taylor, and a model of consistency.
RG3 could certainly make an appearance on this list in time. Would love to see your top 10 favorite Skins.

By BEN FELLER and DAVID ESPO , Associated Press
The Salem News
---- — CHARLOTTE, N.C. — On the eve of the Democratic National Convention, President Barack Obama declared that Republican rival Mitt Romney should be penalized for "unnecessary roughness" on the middle class and accused him in a ringing Labor Day speech of backing higher taxes for millions in opposing the 2009 auto industry bailout.
"I've got one piece of advice for you about the Romney-Ryan game plan: Punt it away. It won't work. It won't win the game," Obama said, blending sports-themed remarks with economic barbs before a cheering crowd in the nation's industrial heartland.
He backed up his rally comments with a new television commercial that says Romney doesn't understand the "heavy load" the middle class is carrying yet wants to give himself a big new tax break. It's the president's first new ad since last week's Republican National Convention, a reminder that he and his allies have been outspent by millions in the ad wars over the past several weeks.
His sports comments in Toledo, Ohio, amounted to a rebuttal to Romney's weekend appeal to voters to fire the current coach — Obama — and install the Republicans instead at the controls of an economy sputtering along with 8.3 percent unemployment.
The president headed to hurricane-damaged Louisiana late in the day as he slowly made his way toward the Democrats' convention city.
A few blocks from the hall where Democratic delegates will gather today, union members staged a Labor Day march through downtown. Though supporting Obama, they also expressed frustration that he and the Democrats chose to hold their convention in a state that bans collective bargaining for teachers and other public employees.
There was disagreement among the ranks of the marchers. "I understand their frustration ... but do they really think they're going to be better off with Romney?" asked Phil Wheeler, 70, a delegate from Connecticut and a retired member of United Auto Workers Local 376 in Hartford.
Democrats chose the state to underscore their determination to contest it in the fall campaign. Obama carried North Carolina by 14,000 votes in 2008, but he faces a tough challenge this time given statewide unemployment of 9.6 percent in the most recent tabulation.
Romney relaxed at his lakeside home in New Hampshire with his family as Obama and running mate Joe Biden sought to motivate union voters to support them in difficult economic times. Romney took a midmorning boat ride, pulling up to a dock to fuel up his 29-foot Sea Ray and pick up a Jet Ski that had been in for repairs.
In a statement emailed to reporters before he left his house, the businessman-turned-political candidate said: "For far too many Americans, today is another day of worrying when their next paycheck will come."
Campaigning on Saturday in Cincinnati, Romney likened Obama to a football coach with a record of 0 and 23 million, a reference to the number of unemployed and underemployed Americans.
Obama rebutted him 48 hours later — and play by play.
"On first down, he hikes taxes by nearly $2,000 on the average family with kids in order to pay for massive tax cuts for multimillionaires. ... Sounds like unnecessary roughness to me," he said.
"On second down, he calls an audible and undoes reforms that are there to prevent another financial crisis and bank bailout. ...
"And then on third down, he calls for a hail Mary, ending Medicare as we know it by giving seniors a voucher that leaves them to pay any additional cost out of their pockets. But there's a flag on the play: loss of up to an additional $6,400 a year for the same benefits you get now."
Romney denies that his plan to help the economy and reduce federal deficits will result in higher taxes for the middle class. But he has yet to provide enough detail to refute the claim, and Obama's assertion rests on a study by the non-partisan Tax Policy Center.
As for the auto bailout that he backed and Romney opposed, Obama told the audience, "Three years later, the American auto industry has come roaring back. Nearly 250,000 new jobs."
Obama's new campaign commercial said that under Romney's "a middle class family will pay an average of up to $2,000 more a year taxes, while at the same time giving multimillionaires like himself a $250,000 tax cut."
Aides said it would air in Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio and Virginia, the by-now familiar list of battleground states where the 2012 race for the White House is likely to be decided.

Grimus opens for Deep Purple
Grimus band will open for Deep Purple at their concert on February 20 at the Polyvalent Hall. Although their musical styles are different, Deep Purple representatives enjoyed the Cluj-based band performance, and thus the latter are the first option for the opening in Bucharest. After the performance held several weeks ago in India at Saarang festival along with The Architects, Grimus reports another success. "It is both a surprise and an honor to be selected to play on the same stage with a true legend. Even if our style is slightly different, we are glad that our music is appreciated. We believe the energy of live shows is a universal language after all, and the fact that a band such as Deep Purple chose us, proves it even more. We come to Bucharest with open hearts to know a new public and some artists we admire," said Vali Rauca, guitarist of Grimus band.
Grimus is the Romanian band with the major presence at international festivals over the past two years. Their flawless live performances were an advantage, and they gave the opportunity to the six members to open concerts of such artists as Red Hot Chili Peppers, Hurts, Placebo or Roxette.
Tickets for the concert on February 20 are almost sold out. Two weeks ago two categories had already sold out, another two were sold in the meantime and the tribunes of the Polyvalent Hall have increasingly fewer places available. The fans who want to see their favourite band in the standing areas should hurry, as less than a quarter of the entire amount of tickets for sale at the Golden Ring and General Access areas are available anymore. They can be purchased online on www.myticket.ro and www.iabilet.ro and in Diverta retail chain, Muzica shop, Mihai Eminescu bookshop or the Palace Hall box office.

New Ovarian Cancer Drug Looks Promising
An experimental drug shown to be effective in treating ovarian cancer in patients with BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations appears to be effective in some patients without the mutations as well, WebMD reports.
The drug Olaparib is one of several experimental treatments that block the activity of the protein PARP, which, like BRCA, is involved in DNA repair.
The new study is the first to suggest that PARP inhibitors may prove effective in a broader group of patients with non-inherited cancers who have few treatment options, lead researcher Karen Gelmon, MD, of Vancouver, Canada's BC Cancer Agency, told WebMD.
The study included 65 ovarian cancer patients and 26 breast cancer patients with highly aggressive, advanced forms of the diseases. Prior to entering the study, the patients had been treated with an average of three different chemotherapy regimens. Some of the participants had received as many as 10 different treatments.
Additionally, some of the patients carried the BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations while others did not.
All of the participants were given 400 milligrams of olaparib twice a day for a month between July 2008 and September 2009. After four weeks, 41 percent of the ovarian cancer patients with BRCA mutations and 24 percent of those without a mutation showed substantial tumor shrinkage.

Baby GaysQ-Tips was not the first brand name Gertenzang used for his cotton swabs, Baby Gays was. In 1926, the name Baby Gays was expanded to Q-Tips Baby Gays, and later the Baby Gays part of the name was dropped.

Welcome to Moonlite Fake Girl, a silly, low-maintainance roleplay based on the live action series Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon.
How does it work?
Once you've applied and been accepted in a certain role, you post a journal entry to this community as the character you're playing. You must have icons reflecting who your character is. You can choose to make separate journals for your characters or you can use your regular journal, as long as the icons reflect your character.
Aside from Tegaki and AIM logging made purely for lulz, there are no actual RP logs. Pretty much all interactions are made on each character's journal.
Technically there is no story! Assume that the RP takes place somewhere in the middle of the series after all the characters have been introduced. Livejournal entries of the characters can be considered 'sidestories' where all of the characters interact on the internets. This is definitely not canon, and in fact, we thrive on making fun of this show as much as we can.
How to Join
Fill out a brief application, get accepted by the two mods, and you're in! Our application process is very simple. As long as you have a basic enough knowledge of the character to adequately make fun of them, you're in!

Somewhere an Orton Fairy Died.
No amount of clapping will bring back Orton as the future of the Denver Broncos. Not anymore!
I don't believe in Kyle Orton. I believe in Tim Tebow.
Orton and all of his followers can usher themselves out to mediocrevile. Finally a quarterback that is a leader and a big time player has taken his first step in the Broncos tradition. No longer are the days of fetal positions, and wishing the bad man will go away. Here comes the days of records being broken and big plays. The days of knowing that 10 points behind in the fourth quarter is a game out of reach are gone. Even though Denver was down by seven in the fourth quarter I knew we still had a chance with number 15. Too bad the coaches were too scared to move, and actually give their young QB a try at the comeback. They took the game out of the Tebow in the end, but was there a doubt in the minds of the fans that there was a chance if Broncos would have gone with Tim instead? No. They knew that they had a chance with Tebow. With Orton it was a different story.
It is clear :Tebow has the goods in him to be the next great QB. Orton has the goods in him to be the next great QB's backup.
A record setting 40 yard touchdown run.
A 32 yards touchdown pass a couple of plays later.
No INTs.
QB Rating of 100.5
More articles to come later, but I just could not wait to start tearing the Orton walls down. There is no hope in Orton, and I feel sorry for the fans who have put their hopes and dreams in this incredibly average quarterback. They can all be set free if they are will to remove their vales and see the light. There is truly more required to make the Broncos better, but this is merely about the quarterback. The leader and player that embodies the franchise. That player is Tim Tebow.
Some nice highlights form his first game.

Ok so according the the LumberJocks counter it has been 1071 days since I posted my blog about acquiring a lathe. In that blog I posted that I could not wait to post a project made on it. Well it seems I could wait quite a while. However, I finally made something that could sit out in the open (I have been doing some other playing around the past week or so).
I present my first turned project on my own lathe. The wife and my daughter both like it enough that I will be leaving it upstairs somewhere.This is made from Beech (Fagus sylvatica).. one of the few trees I remember the correct latin name for from my classes. I have more and will plan to use it in the future. I am pretty excited about getting my lathe set up and looking forward to using it and posting more projects in the future. I sat this afternoon and watched one of the Richard Raffan videos I got from the library and some things I have been pondering started to make some sense. Hopefully I can put that information to some good use soon.
Thanks for looking.

LOL.. Thanks for the comments everyone. I certainly do not plan to wait nearly as long for my next project. Plan to become as familiar as possible with this lathe on the next few months. The wife to has some plans to try out some pens and maybe something else. More to come.
and in the words of an old commercial.. "and thank you for your support".

Well I bought the same lathe maybe 7 months ago, I have just changed homes and have not set it up yet!!!
My problem is, I bought it played with it for a few minutes, than didn't bother with it anymore. Other projects
always seem to take up my time, and very few (none) have incorperated turnings (yet). Nice candle holder,
My wife loves the candle scent thing, I guess I should be making a few of those!!!

It took me 2 months just to get a haircut….....
I have the same lathe, mine has the same hash marks on the spindle nut. Do you suppose our machines were assembled by same galoot?
About a year ago, I salvaged the variable speed motor from treadmill. I really like the it. Still have the three step pulleys + the v/s and reverse.

Whitewulf, that is an awesome idea with the treadmill motor. Certainly going to keep it in mind for a future upgrade. I love this Lathe and have been having plenty of fun learning the various things I can do with it.
