Hi everyone,
I study the transcriptomic basis for honeybee eusociality, and need to look at RNA from brain tissue, RNA from gland tissue, and RNA from skeletal muscle. Does anyone have any good ideas about how to separate these three types of tissue? What I do currently is to perform painstaking and time-consuming dissections under a microscope and separate out these three tissue types. Is anyone aware of a differential centrifugation method where I could just grind up the whole bee and have the tissue types separated by density? Or a filtration method of some kind?
Thanks in advance for your help - you could potentially save me hours at the bench!

I don;t think that would work at all, the tissues would be very similar in density, and you would have to prove that you have no contamination from other tissue types in each band.

Canary Islands Estate Agents
Over the years, hundreds of estate agents have set up shop in the Canary Islands because the sector is still unregulated and requires no licenses or qualifications.
There are a handful of agents who may pass the integrity test but these are far outnumbered by the unscrupulous ones.
The fees Canary Islands estate agents charge for their "services" can be significant, 5% being the average although in these hard times, agents have had to resort to discounts to stay alive.
5% may not sound like a lot but on a €300,000 property, it equates to €15,000 !
If this still does not sound like a lot of money to you, then calculate how many hours, after paying tax, you would have to work to earn €15,000 and then ask yourself this question;
Does the estate agent have to work as many hours as you to earn your money?
If the answer is "no" then why not list your property with us? After all, most buyers now look for their new home on a website such as ours, and once found, they speak to the owner direct.
Let's face it, we all learnt to talk even before we went to school, so we don't need an estate agent for that !
In today's dropping market, saving the estate agent fees is critical (It could even save you from being in negative equity).
The buyers are not stupid, they know that if you are selling through an agent, the price will be significantly higher than if you were selling direct.
If selling direct terrifies you and feel the need to go through an agent, then the least you can do is knock the fees down considerably. 2-3% in our view is a very generous commission to pay.
Good impartial legal advice is the backbone of this process and all the rest can be done by yourself with a bit of effort.
It's your money and it should be your rules.
Avoid the many pitfalls of using Canary Islands estate agents by making good use of our services.

Natalie's Review
Domaine Les Yeuses Les Épices Syrah 2007, Vins De Pays D'oc, Midi, France: Vintages Wine Panel: Top 100 wine and a winner of a Gold Medal at Vin de Pays de France. Syrah Les Épices is aptly named, with a nose featuring typical varietal notes such as peppercorn, smoke, and bacon accenting oodles of ripe black fruit. It all comes together with beautiful balance on the palate and lingers on the wine's substantial finish. This would be a great companion for some serious chili or a mountain of barbecued ribs. My note: Very pleasing black pepper and dark berries. Long, warm finish and full-bodied weight. Great for meat lovers' pizza. 177584 13.50% D 750 mL $12.95 Score: 87/100. July 24, 2010 Full Review

reviews & comments (3)
This hummus got rave reviews from friends. I cut the amount of sundried tomato in half and I only used 2 cloves of garlic, 6 is probably a little over-powering unless you like that. It made quite a bit and lasted well in the fridge all week. Definitely adding to my list of favs!
This Greek hummus is unbelievably delicious and is a now a staple in this vegany household. The sun-dried tomatoes, the basil, and the garlic add lots of flavor, though I do recommend cutting back on the garlic. (I use half of the garlic called for in the recipe.) The beauty of this recipe is that you can adjust the amount of each ingredient to your taste. The second time I made it, I was pressed for time, so I simply added plain cooked chickpeas (chilled)-- and not Chickpea Confit--and the result was outstanding. It's great on pita bread, lavosh, or crackers, with feta, olives, and cucumber slices.
This is very good. I made this exactly as recommended. Be careful of the garlic. If you add all of the garlic as called for, plus the garlic from the garbanzo confeti, then this may be a bit much garlic. I love garlic, but may cut back on it next time. It is a little time consuming, but worth every minute!

Everyone wants to know what their status is on the web. Do I have a great PageRank from Google? What's my status on Technorati? SeoQuake provides that data in a dashboard-style toolbar on the current web page.
On installation, the toolbar appears immediately. Actually, it took me by surprise because I was expecting a toolbar on the top where the other toolbars frolick and play. The transparent toolbar can become a little annoying, even in its shrunken form.
SeoQuake only displays on certain pages. I'm still trying to figure that one out. Is it because the web page isn't listed in their index?
Anyway, the toolbar, when expanded, gives you a quick at-a-glance view of your status on the web. The options available to you are enough to show where you need to focus your attention, whether it be Google, Yahoo, MSN, DMOZ, Rambler, Deli.cio.us, Digg, or Alexa. There are a couple other options that are useful to a point: an immediate whois on the current page, a robots.txt detection, and a way to view the source code of the current web page.
Another feature that stands out is the search results of your favorite search engine. SeoQuake attaches the same ranking details to the bottom of site listed in your search results. Nice to see how the competition is doing at a glance. ;-)
As I said before, the transparent toolbar may be more useful in the toolbar area as opposed to the browsing view, but shrinking it down allows you to move it so it doesn't interfere with your browsing.
Overall, I like the extension to glance at how everyone is rated in the blogosphere.

Her Father's Daughter - The Kathleen Folbigg Story
Several weeks after the trial, Folbigg wrote a scathing letter to the Sydney Morning Herald expressing her anger at the decision. It took four years to come up with a totally circumstantial non-factual, hearsay case, she wrote.
I now face being the most 'hated' woman around at the moment and death threats are a real consideration.
On the subject of her diaries she wrote: It's a sad day when a mother can be put away for merely being a normal mother, who wrote down her emotions, anxieties and frustrations in bloody books.
She also defended herself against claims her demeanor was aloof and unemotional.
I didn't have the choice to be any other way, she wrote. I would not have been useful in my own defense. The day may come where it is time to release it all, but till my battle is done in clearing my name and reputation, that day is not yet.
She also lashed out at her former husband saying he had betrayed her.
I have already suffered greatly at the hands of Craig and his capability to deliver with his tongue and his quite amazing ability to turn simple into exaggerated and extravagant tales.

The focus will be to develop basic forms and techniques that will keep you playing Disc Golf for life. Throwing with improper form will not only cause you to throw an errant shot but does damage to the body. Pulling and tearing at muscles in the wrong direction. Creating proper muscle memory to repeat your favorite shots will vastly improve your game. We will also gladly focus on specific areas you may be having trouble with.
I feel the use of video as a tool is very important to show your form and proper techniques. It takes a trained eye to pick up on possible issues within every form. Capturing video from different angles and breaking down those sequences is one of the best ways to diagnose a player's form. Personally, I was amazed when I started to video myself during training sessions. Watching those shots and remembering how they felt was one of the best tools for my self-diagnosis. It is very important for us to understand what our bodies are actually doing. I can explain how to throw a shot.....you must imagine how you LOOK throwing that perfect shot. Then be able to repeat it :)
-Putting (grip and stance, setup and delivery, weight transfer)
-Upshots/Midrange (basic form and technique)
-Drives (Backhand, Forehand, Hyzers, Anhyzers etc)

Nabarun means "Morning sun". Sounds nice, doesn't it? Swedes I've met say that it sounds very spiritual. They refer to India as a spiritual country. Some people have posters or small statues of our gods at home as they think they look so cool. Does that offend me as an Indian? No, not at all! It's totally fine to be interested in a culture and its religion without "buying the whole package". I don't blame anyone for liking our food either. I was happy to find some Indian restaurants here in Stockholm. Yum!
Young Western people come to seek mystical wisdom in India. I think they expect to see painted cows, women in colourful clothes and old men with long beards sitting cross-legged playing sitars in every corner of the modern cities. Maybe they think the air is vibrating with spirituality and that every word spoken sounds "deep". Perhaps they think we Indians are totally altruistic. Although my native country has some of these features (in moderate doses) it's much more complex than that. Just like any other country it's changing and becoming modern. Sorry if I disappoint some Swedes when I say that.
Well, so that is what some Swedes say about my country. In all I believe they have a positive picture of India, even though it's a bit too romantic. When I came to Sweden I have to admit that I wasn't prepared to meet the warm summers. I thought it would be dead cold all the time. To my shame I came here with the stereotypical picture of Swedish blondes as I had heard they were easy to pick up and not very bright. Yes, I'm ashamed of that now. How ridiculous! I realise that. I'm a modern man and see woman as equal to man. So far I haven't met one Swedish female who reminds me of that blonde stereotype. They all strike me as intelligent. Often they come across as tougher than Swedish males.
Studying Swedish is tricky. Luckily I know English and that helps the learning process. I think Swedish is an unadorned and beautiful language. It's an ordeal trying to handle languages that uses another alphabet than I'm used to. Maybe I'll be able to write a new post in Swedish one day.

The examination of Hattiesburg's general election ballot boxes is now complete, and the waiting game begins.
Representatives of Mayor Johnny DuPree completed their examination of the ballot boxes and absentee and affidavit ballots Wednesday. DuPree was certified the winner by 37 votes over councilman Dave Ware, whose representatives spent nearly a week examining the boxes for irregularities.
The Ware campaign has not said whether any irregularities were uncovered, but observers say close attention was paid to absentee and affidavit ballots, including the 36 votes cast by inmates at the Forrest County jail. The Ware campaign has until Monday to file a challenge petition with circuit court.
According to state law, that petition must be specific as to what irregularities were found. If a challenge is filed, it's expected the State Supreme Court will have to appoint a special judge to hear the case.
Judge Bob Helfrich would probably recuse himself, since courthouse observers say it's standard procedure for sitting judges not to hear election disputes within their jurisdiction.

Perhaps more difficult to judge than the AL Cy Young winner is the difficult question of the NL Cy. The SBNation crew was unable to arrive at a definitive conclusion, but hopefully we will be able to.Here are the numbers for all qualified NL pitchers. If you want to place a vote for a reliever, you'll just have to look up his numbers yourself, though. It will come up ranked by fWAR, but don't be a slave to that ranking- or do, if you prefer.
The voting rules are as follows: please rank your top-five choices for the award in the comments section. Votes cast without a full ballot will not be counted. The winner will be determined by the same weighted system the BBWAA uses: 7 points for first place votes and 4, 3, 2 & 1 points going to the second to fifth places votes respectively.

Item: Precipitation in Svarfadardalur Region, North-Iceland
Title: Precipitation in Svarfadardalur Region, North-Iceland
Proceedings: Proceedings Whistler 2008 International Snow Science Workshop September 21-27, 2008

Date: 2008-09-22
Abstract: During the summer of 2006, precipitation was measured with a network of 40 rain gauges in the region of Svarfa
ardalur valley in N-Iceland. The precipitation distribution is investigated for different wind conditions and the intensity spectrum is explored. A large observed precipitation gradient (400% increase over a distance of 9 km) indicates that the orographic enhancement of precipitation may be very sensitive to the shape of the mountains and the exact aspect of the slopes. The distribution functions of precipitation intensities have similar forms for most locations, except at sea level below high mountains where low precipitation intensities are relatively infrequent while high precipitation intensities are frequent. The precipitation data are compared to information on avalanches that is retrieved from written sources and interviews. The highest values of precipitation coincide with very frequent avalanches, but there are other areas with only few avalanches but much precipitation.

For the second straight day, the Red Sox are winners, knocking off the Orioles 6-1 behind Cody Ross and Dustin Pedroia.
The Sox would grant Jon Lester an early 1-0 lead in his first official start of the spring. Nate Spears and Dustin Pedroia got them off to a hot start, hitting back-to-back singles to start the game before Ryan Sweeney added a two-out base knock of his own to score Spears from second.
Lester would end up giving the run back quickly. Robert Andino, once again playing the role of the proverbial thorn in Boston's side, drew a leadoff walk, stole second, and then scored when Adam Jones' ground ball found a hole to tie the game at 1-1.
The Sox would jump right back on top, however, in the second. Cody Ross led things off with a single, and then survived a pickoff play thanks to an errant throw from first. Lars Anderson would walk behind him, setting up Dustin Pedroia for a 2-out double to score both runners. The Sox may have struck for more, but Pedroia was gunned down at home on a Jacoby Ellsbury single to end the inning.
While Jon Lester would continue to give up walks--two more in the second and a fourth in the fourth--he would manage to escape without suffering any further damage thanks to some ground outs and strikeouts. His four innings represent the longest outing yet for a Red Sox pitcher.
Aaron Cook would face the same control problems as Lester, walking two batters in two innings while Zach Phillips and Chris Tillman settled things down on the mound for the Orioles, but still the Sox would manage to avoid taking any more damage.
The same could not be said for Baltimore. Cody Ross, Ryan Lavarnway, and Lars Anderson would all reach base to start the seventh inning, scoring a run in the process before another came across when the Orioles failed to turn a double play on Oscar Tejeda's ground ball. The final strike would come in the ninth, when Will Middlebrooks and Ryan Lavarnway each singled, setting up Christopher Hee for one last RBI.
The Good
Cody Ross and Dustin Pedroia continue to tear the cover off the ball, going 4-for-5 tonight leaving their averages north of .500 and .400 respectively.
And how about the big-name prospects? Will Middlebrooks' hit brings him up to .400 as well, while Ryan Lavarnway singled and walked to make his figure .333. Batting averages, I know, but sometimes you've gotta make do in spring training, and it's hard to be bad with a .400 average.
The Bad
Boston pitchers continue to struggle with control early on in the season, with Jon Lester and Aaron Cook contributing six in six innings today. It's still early, but it would be nice to see them come around sooner rather than later.
The Ugly
Replays of certain events from the last regular season game these two teams played against eachother. Why oh why?

The Washington Redskins took a 7-0 lead over the Falcons on Sunday when defensive end Ryan Kerrigan intercepted an attempted screen pass by Matt Ryan. The Atlanta offensive line let Kerrigan through, setting up the screen, but the second-year star jumped in the air to pick off Ryan's lob pass. Kerrigan bobbled it once on his way down but quickly controlled it and was off to the races for the defensive touchdown. An animated gif of the play:
Kerrigan had a similar interception last season, picking off Eli Manning in a Week 1 welcome-to-the-NFL moment. He took that interception in for a pick-six as well.
The rush end will have to pick up the slack with both Adam Carriker and Brian Orakpo out for the season, and he's already made a huge impact this week. Mid way through the second quarter, the Skins defense is keeping the high-powered Falcons offense in-check, holding on to the 7-0 lead.

"John Elway believes he may have drafted the next Terrell Davis with the selection of Montee Ball in the second round," Clayton said on Inside the Huddle. "But the Steelers think they have the next version of Matt Forte, and they're happy about it."
There would be plenty to be happy about, if the Steelers took a larger version of the multi-faceted Forte, particularly if he avoids the injury troubles Forte has had in Chicago. Hugely productive, often injured.
But perhaps the goal for Pittsburgh is to ride Bell until his wheels come off, much like what they did with Willie Parker back in 2007. He was on pace to become the league's rushing leader until he broke his leg late in the season in a game against St. Louis. Parker had an impressive three-year run with the Steelers, being the focal point of their blooming offense under offensive coordinators Ken Whisenhunt and Bruce Arians.
If Bell is to be used that often, it would certainly break with the early trends established under offensive coordinator Todd Haley.
The backfield was split between three running backs in 2012, as Jonathan Dwyer led the team with 623 yards - the lowest total to lead the team since Merrill Hoge's 610 yards in 1991.
The Steelers gave Barry Foster the ball an NFL-high 390 times in 1992, and he rushed for 1,690 yards and 11 touchdowns as the Steelers rebounded from a 7-9 mark in Chuck Noll's final year to finish at 11-5 and win their first AFC Central championship under Bill Cowher.
Perhaps the Steelers are looking to respond to their 8-8 2012 season In the same fashion - by running the ball until defenses puke. Then run some more.

I don't know about you, but I'm stuck.
I know deep inside that Divine Energy wants to help me live this fully dimensional life. I taste this Essence of life in moments of grace, love, and joy.
I want more of this feeling. I search for spiritual movements and sources of help to guide me. Daily I find new books, writings, and even web sites that promise to help me live a fully dimensional life.
The problem I find is that this holy Presence is unseen. I think I touch the divine, but then am unsure because it was only a hint or a whisper that passes in breeze.
I make a good beginning, but then lose momentum. The energy fades. Was it real? Is it what I yearn for?
I believe we can connect with that divine presence right now.
I found a surprising answer. It wasn't where I thought it would be.
God put everything under Christ's feet and made him head of everything in the church, which is his body. His body, the church, is the fullness of Christ, who fills everything in every way. (Ephesians 1:22-23 CEB)
Mysteriously, mystically the Spirit of God chooses to work in our lives through other people. Paul's image of the body of Christ paints the community of faith as the visible hands and feet of the invisible God. When the community gathers in the name of God spiritual reality connects with physical reality.
That's exciting.
That's frightening.
It's scary because we all fail. Every group of people resists the will of God. As a leader in a community of faith I fail daily.
This also is the exciting part: Through the turmoil, resistance, and struggles of a scraggly bunch of fragile and broken individuals, God is able to make grace amazingly real and clear.
It would be nice if we could live a growing spiritual life outside the messiness of community, but we can't. Left alone we slow down, become inactive, and fall asleep spiritually. We need teachers, guides, companions, and caring people in our lives to be the Divine presence that keeps us moving and growing.
In order to be moved by the presence of life we need to place ourselves in the place where this spirit is moving others. That means community.
To connect with God's Presence we each need to find a community and show up.
Let's also think about how to motivate each other to show love and to do good works. Don't stop meeting together with other believers, which some people have gotten into the habit of doing. Instead, encourage each other, especially as you see the day drawing near. (Hebrews 10:24-25 CEB)
First off, we need holy nudges to start and to keep going. An athlete has a coach and trainer to push them beyond the point where they want to stop when it gets hard. We need caring people in our lives who gently provoke us to grow. We need someone behind and beside us to keep us moving toward more love and goodness. We also need to walk with others to keep them moving in the same direction.
Then we need encouragers and comforters. We will get hurt. We will become discouraged. Our vulnerabilities are exposed. We need people who will cheer us up when we want to give up. We also need to be someone who comes along with a hand up when others fall.
Alone, we follow a path of disconnection. This solitary destination leads us deeper into our fears. A key energy fueling our basic fears is the spiraling experience of alienation and isolation.
We are not created to be alone. We need life enriching relationships.
The wonderful thing about communities (in spite of all their potential for flaws and failures) is that they provide a place for us to exercise our fully dimensional living. We learn that life isn't just about what we receive. It is also about what we share.
What a wonderful idea: not only can others be the presence of grace for us, we also become the Presence of life for someone else along the path.
This isn't something we can buy in a store or download on line. It can only be found as we connect together: When we find a community and show up.
So where can you show up?
A virtual community is helpful but incomplete. Our bodies and spirits need physical connection. Nothing substitutes for face to face community.
Remember, there is no perfect community. Every community we become a part of is filled with people just like us: searching, struggling, laughing, failing, hurting, crying, and hoping. Each community of faith is a place to experience the reality of giving personal grace and receiving forgiveness.
Where can you show up this week? Your life actually does depend on it.

Pendle residents: Business park plans will hurt our village
Updated 2:55pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in News
RESIDENTS fear that an extension to Pendle's largest industrial estate will prove to be a traffic nightmare for nearby villagers.
Council bosses are recommending, as part of their Local Plan consultation, that Lomeshaye is extended to provide the borough's employment land quota over the next few years.
But hundreds packed out a public meeting in Fence after concerns were expressed about the impact if a prospective access road is created to the A6068 bypass between Cuckstool Lane and Carr Hall Road.
Villager Jackie Commons said: "It will bring a lot of industrial traffic to Fence and Wheatley Lane Road and I don't think people realise the effect it is going to have. It seems to me that is far easier to go and develop a new field than it is to pull down old buildings and redevelop brownfield land."
And it is feared that the development would leave people in Fence and Barrowford sandwiched between the industrial expansion and Pendle's next large housing estate.
Land at Trough Laithe Farm, off Wheatley Lane Road, has been identified as having the greatest potential for housing redevelopment.
Coun John David, who represents Old Laund Booth, is a staunch opponent of the Lomeshaye expansion and has spoken out against it.
He told a council meeting: "We should be reusing land so we are not gobbling up the greenbelt. And we can do that if we redevelop brownfield land."
Coun David has argued that there are enough old factory and mill sites, scattered across the borough, to meet their employment land needs for the forseeable future.
Villagers have until March 24 to make their views known on the Local Plan as part of a six-week consultation process.

Yeezus - Kanye West
- Band Name: Kanye West
- Record Label: Def Jam
- Release Date: Jun 18, 2013
- Summary: Chief Keef, Daft Punk, Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi, King L, Rick Rubin, RZA, and Justin Vernon are some of the producers and artists the rapper worked with on his sixth solo release influenced by such genres as industrial, new wave, and Chicago house music.
- Record Label: Def Jam
- Genre(s): Rap
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 43 out of 46
Mixed: 2 out of 46
Negative: 1 out of 46
Jun 28, 2013Yeezus is the complete affirmation of an artist willing to try new endeavors and wholeheartedly nail it.
Jun 17, 2013Kanye West doesn't give the listener a second to realize the album is more a masterly response to a masterpiece than a masterpiece itself. With one sweep of the hand, West brushes away expectations. And then he sticks you squarely across the face
Jun 19, 2013Yeezus is a divisive album, one that contains some of West's most inspired samples, collaborations, and racial observations to date while at times being insufferably misogynistic and confoundingly lyrically lazy.
Jun 17, 2013It's not quite godlike, but Yeezus certainly feels like it was created by a higher power.
Jun 20, 2013With Yeezus clocking in at a short 40 minutes, Kanye achieves his goal of creating a stripped-down, minimalist project; there's nothing extra or out of place here. More importantly, Kanye makes it abundantly clear that he's still got a lot to say, and a lot of new ways to say it.
Jun 18, 2013It's a beautiful blast of humanity on an album--a perplexing, fascinating, absorbing album--that often feels outside normal human grasp.
Jun 21, 2013Yeezus is ultimately most repugnant in how it heedlessly collapses all the value dichotomies that Kanye has mined so fruitfully over the years into one bottomless cesspool of narcissism.
Score distribution:
Positive: 187 out of 256
Mixed: 22 out of 256
Negative: 47 out of 256
Nov 6, 2013This sounds like a M.I.A. album with some hardcore rap verses on it. A very innovative album by a very innovative artist. I love it. The best tracks are Black Skinhead, Blood on the leaves, On Sight, New Slaves & Bound 2.… Expand
Jun 18, 2013Listening to this album is the equivalent of licking iggy azalea's clean, then shoving your tongue into the small hair follicle opening (or pore) of your favorite gay porn stars nipple. "I just talked to Jesus, He said what up Yeezus" The sheer imagery of Mr. West calling to the son of god on an iphone makes me cum sperm biscuits. If you give this album anything less than a 100, I will personaly shove my up your dick hole, trust me, this is pure pleasure, but from the reaction of your father, it wasn't for the reciever. Never the less, MBDTF was getting by a sheer excellence, but this, this is like getting by the raunchiest, most dirtiest you've ever gazed upon, truly a magnificant symmetrical veins, proportionate tip, shaft. I swear to god i have literally a massive turd and licked it and this album is still better. I also played this while i was stroking my massive shrivled up and even with the condom on I have had sperm fly into my eyes on few occasions) i lasted less than 10 seconds max, i also farted while i came if that alters anyones mind on wether this album is great or not. Thank you yeezus christ, for the greatest album i've ever heard. 100/100… Expand
Mar 12, 2014The album is an angry, muddled, ignorant, slapped-together heap of vulgar expression that works better than anyone else in music could've done. It's an album so angrily sure of itself it'll have you convinced that a man worth 100 million dollars faces oppression comparable to that of a slave.… Expand
Jul 29, 2013Yeezus is a perfect example of trying out new sounds and succeeding at them. The album has futuristic, electronic vibes, great samples and overall production, and the experimentation is a breath of fresh air for the rap music genre. Not much negativity about Yeezus, it's a great 40 minute listen.… Expand
Jun 20, 2013It's really bad.
The techno, daft punk continuation and at this point....he really has nothing to say. Like most rap artists, lyrically they don't have much to say once they reach the top and have the money. West is unable to transition as very few have and goes off into the realm of bragging.
Is he a still great as a producer and making beats? Absolutely but his prowess on the mic is dwindling fast.… Expand
Jun 19, 2013This is a weed plate...Something I'd use to break buds on...The only people who would find this album "revolutionary" are people who aren't familiar with anything outside of top 40...He's biting styles left and right, but his take on other genres is sub-par to put it nicely...and the lyrics...bwahaha!...Kanye is the type of guy that would have a baby with Kim Kardashian...enough said… Expand

In Talley's Folly, which premiered last night at Lowell's Merrimack Repertory Theatre, true love isn't the destination. It's bubbling under the whole time -- it just needs a little coaxing to come to the surface.
For a while, it seems like Matt Friedman (Benim Foster), the babbling pursuer of the guarded Sally Talley (Kathleen Wise), will simply berate her into falling in love with him, a strong-arm storytelling tactic that often feels more sexist than natural in other fictional contexts.
But his aggressive plea, which later turns into somewhat of an interrogation, proves more fruitful and balanced than that, as Sally thankfully has something to tell.
Matt's confident, and none more so than in his abilities of speech. He starts the play off-stage, house lights still on, announcing to the audience everything from the play's runtime (97 minutes) to the setting (a broken-down gazebo, which is rendered like a majestic, dilapidated Hanging Gardens by the always-great MRT set department) to the habits of worker bees (they have a life expectancy of 20 days and nights).
Then he repeats most of the speech over again in triple-time, for everyone who showed up late.
Sally shows up to the gazebo looking lovely, despite being known around town as an old maid (she's 31; like Mary Hatch in It's a Wonderful Life, she probably was also cruelly condemned to a lifetime working at the library). Despite her constant frustration towards Matt's advances, she seems to be intrigued with him, or at least the version of him who courted her the year before.
Since then, her Protestant family has shunned him for his Jewish heritage, but Matt continued to write Sally daily letters, to which she gave him a single, un-encouraging reply. Still, he lures her down to the gazebo (or the titular "folly," as it's called) for one last shot.
Matt dominates much of the show, proving to be an entrancing, funny, neurotic main character tinged with layers of grief. But Wise's cryptic steadfastness is the key to the show. Sally's secret isn't a body in her closet or a criminal past or a library book that was never returned. It's a meaningful one that's both unexpected and ironic.
Most importantly, it's one worthy of being kept a secret, but also one that an audience should hear.
Talley's Folly runs through April 13. For information, visit mrt.org.

Out of the last three games (Chicago, Jacksonville and Detroit) I have only been able to watch scraps of each game. During the Chicago game I had to attend my brother's play production (which was actually quite good), only thing was I missed one of the most anticipated games of the season and I missed the beautiful-ugliness of the game. The next week, since no one cares about Houston here in Hawaii, I had to stream the Jacksonville game on my computer. Suffice to say it was pretty horrible (lag and picture quality, ehhh), I eventually logged onto the Houston Texans official site to access a quite useful live radio feature. The Thanksgiving Game was supposed to be that game I could watch right before a long Thanksgiving day. Unfortunately I woke up late and only caught the waning minutes of the first half before having to leave right after Shayne Graham's, well let's call it a kick in overtime. Again radio bailed me out.
Anyways the point is that the only true football I have watched in a while has been college football. Not really a point? Okay never mind then. Anyways I've spent some time looking at the tape of five receivers, all with 2-4th round talent. I only have time to focus on one at the moment.
The Ehhhhs:
Marquess Wilson: Washington State (6-3 188)
The tape I saw he drops way too many easy catches and his dismissal from the Washington State football program is troubling as well. He has decent size and is very good in space though.
Major Standout: Against Oregon he dropped 5 (yes FIVE) passes in a row, most were pitch and catch, backyard stuff too. Also the fumble is disturbing as well
Terrance Williams: Baylor (6-2 205)
To me he is a possession receiver. He is extremely good underneath. However that is a result of the wide open Big XII defenses in my opinion. He lacks top end game speed and looks visibly slower than other players on the field. He also fall without any contact whatsoever. His YAC potential is extremely low and for someone with as good a center a gravity as Williams, he looks too easy to take down.
Major Standout: Williams goes down without contact consistently.
The Oooooohs:
Justin Hunter: Tennessee (6-4 200)
Hunter is a play maker and is quite consistent. He's got a great pair of hands and his catches are smooth and natural. He is a pretty good route-runner and blocker. He also has a very long, silky smooth stride. His 40 time will probably not be indicative of his true speed. He looks smooth on the field but his route running could use a little more precision. Overall he knows how get the football.
Major Standout: He always goes to the ground forward. Almost never lets himself be pushed back and picks up that extra 1-2 yards.
CorDarelle Patterson: Tennessee (6-3 205)
Patterson is a playmaker. He makes ridiculous plays after the catch and is also a very good receiver. His route running needs some work but the speed, hands and natural playmaking is all present. As a receiver he gets open and catches the ball. However his YAC potential is sky high.
Major Standouts: Trust me this is a good waste of a minute or too.
End Around: 1:15 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QypUGJch5yk
Lot of good plays here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QypUGJch5yk
00:56 Could've been play of the year.
Quinton Patton: Louisiana Tech (6-2 200)
He deserves his own post. He really does. And no that's not a typo it is "Tech" not "State." In fact his game against Texas A&M deserves its own post. 21 Receptions in one game and four touchdowns, a beautiful display of quickness, savvy route running, big play ability, catching ability, and ability to beat press coverage. You know what? I would actually recommend watching the whole thing if you have the time, the stats from this game are eye popping but the tape shows the player behind the stats too.
Quinton Patton vs TAMU
Admittedly he starts the game rather slowly. However notice on every screen pass how the defender is literally lunging at a shoelace to make a tackle. Then:
1:48: The defender is going to try to jam Patton. It's not going to work. It's the red zone and you can bet that this defender was manned up on Patton and is supposed to bump and run with him. Although not so apparent at first, notice the instant replay. Look at the release, the burst off the line of scrimmage, the head fakes and fluid hips and explosion to the pylon. The catch is pretty decent too (sarcasm font).
2:37: Here's something a Houston fan can appreciate. The guy can block. Its an off tackle run. Its 4th down. Patton's man in all likely hood won't sniff the play. So what does he do? He makes the key block when the running back bounces outside. Touchdown.
3:29: Another example of a defender tackling air. Again notice the fluid hips and burst. Also something I love. Its a pitch and catch and the man still catches the ball with his hands.
4:15: Patton can adjust to a ball too and still catches with his hands. Just saying.
4:46: Yes I know that's the instant replay. Why? Look at that release. Its everything you look for, look at the footwork, the hips, the head fake. Also something a coach can't stress enough, his hands are up and ready to punch the arms of defender so he can come clean to the corner. Again the catch is a beauty.
Okay let's take a quick break.
5:03: Watch the replay. The fact that he was interfered with is disappointing. Patton not only stops on a dime, look at his entire body, its ridiculous. Also its nice that he comes out of the break with his hands up, again something lost in rough sometimes.
5:20: Okay Patton isn't perfect (or Andre Johnson)
6:17: Look at that corner. He's gotta be thinking "here comes the fade." Only thing is, is that when you can't get your hands on a receiver in the redzone, you're toast. The reason this works is because the corner is going to sit on the goal-line then jam the receiver when he makes his break. Only one problem though; Patton has abused the fade all game long and as a result the corner does the biggest no-no in the redzone, give up the inside leverage.
8:04: Just enjoy this ridiculous catch and run
8:50: He can get his feet in bounds too (This one is just piling on)
Here's the reason Patton is so dangerous. Defensive backs can't touch him. He has supreme game speed and is ridiculously quick. He has amazing feet and body control. He is a throwback to fundamentals. He keeps his hands up, he keeps his feet moving, he is a north to south runner after the catch. As a defensive back in the redzone, you're told two things, don't let the receiver come free off the line and never give up the inside. Patton exploits the first with his ridiculous footwork and burst combined with a reliable set of hands. Then he exploits it when a defensive back gives him the inside. In college there is no such thing as illegal contact. In college you can jam a receiver 10 yards down the field if you want. The fact that Patton can avoid jams and press is amazing. In the pros I can really see him as a really good number two. He will never have the pure beast mode, Fitzgerald, Green and the Johnson's have but he has a knack for getting open and making plays.

Professional disc golfers look to make a living off the sport
Submitted: 09/01/2014
Play Video
- You could see professional disc golfers playing over the Labor Day weekend at Sandy Point Resort and Disc Golf Ranch's 20th Anniversary Northwoods Open.
Professional disc golfers find that not everyone quite understands just how special disc golf can be.
"I think one of the big challenges we've seen is that people can't relate. They think of a Frisbee and they think of throwing it but they don't necessarily see how amazing a disc can fly," said professional disc golfer Terry Miller.
But, there is a whole world of people who play this sport professionally. In 2000, Miller quit his job to pursue the sport. There are a few thousand professionals. Disc golf is unique because you can decide which division you want to play in.
"There is the professional division and the amateur division. So just sign up and compete with the best," said Miller.
The Professional Disc Golfer's Association has found that the sport has an annual growth of up to 12%.
"I would with churches, I work with youth groups, I would with park and rec programs. So, we're seeing it both at the state level, the local level, and then also the national level. So, it's growing pretty much in every possible way that we can," said Miller.
Because it is such a niche sport, it can be hard for professionals to make money.
"It's kind of anything that's related to disc golf, they probably pick up and do a little bit on the side. And then on the weekend, they are grinding it out, playing a tournament every single weekend," said Miller.
It can be difficult for professional disc golf players to make a lot of money just by playing weekend tournaments. But, if these tournaments started to be aired live on television, there could be more money in the game.
"I think once it gets on TV, I think that's when we may see some of our big sponsors. I think that's going to make the sport bigger and more professional," said Miller.
Terry Miller created Smashboxx TV, a platform where he live streams professional tournaments straight to YouTube.
"I think as we continue to grow and some of our big events, we are going to see something on TV. It's just a matter of the right network and the right people getting together to make it happen," said Miller.
Televised tournaments, much like what Smashboxx TV broadcasts, could change the future of the game.
"We've had a number of sponsors that have reached out to us because they really want to get on board with this exciting opportunity. There's not a lot in terms of broadcast options," said Miller.

Lucroy also had five RBIs on June 17 at Arizona, including a pair of homers -- one of which was a grand slam.

Badgers football less than three weeks away
Submitted: 08/13/2014
- Star tailback Melvin Gordon is still on the run at Wisconsin, but new leaders must emerge on defense in 2014.
Coach Gary Andersen's team lost eight defensive starters from a squad that finished 9-4 last year. The most notable loss was star linebacker Chris Borland, who is now with the San Francisco 49ers.
But what helps the returnees is that Andersen rotated a lot of younger players in and out of the lineup last year, so many of this year's replacements have at least some experience. The goal this year is to be faster and more athletic, in part to help keep up with trendy spread offenses.
The Badgers are also still sorting through a quarterback competition. Andersen needs to decide between incumbent Joel Stave and dual-threat challenger Tanner McEvoy by the Aug. 30 opener against LSU.

Brewers silenced by Cubs 3-0
Submitted: 08/13/2014
- Rookie Kyle Hendricks pitched 7 1/3 innings of six-hit ball in his third consecutive win, and the Chicago Cubs cooled off Wily Peralta and the Milwaukee Brewers with a 3-0 victory on Tuesday night.
Hendricks (4-1) struck out five and walked one in his third consecutive win, continuing an impressive opening run for his major league career. The right-hander is 4-1 with a 1.01 ERA in five starts since he got a no-decision in his debut at Cincinnati on July 10.
Anthony Rizzo hit his 26th homer for Chicago, which had lost three of four. Arismendy Alcantara had two hits and drove in a run after going 1 for 14 through the first four games of the Cubs' seven-game homestand.
Trying for a major league-high 15th win, Peralta (14-7) allowed three runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings.

(NECN: Josh Brogadir) - There is an active scene at the home of Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez.
But why police have been there for several hours is still unclear.
Early on, the only activity was a cleaning crew of four women leaving the home.
That all changed about 7 p.m., when detectives arrived.
It wasn't until four hours after NECN knocked at the door of the house of Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez that police went inside, descending on his Ronald C. Meyer Drive home in North Attleboro, Mass.
SI.com is reporting that Hernandez has been questioned by Massachusetts State Police in connection with a possible homicide investigation, not as a murder suspect, but in relation to a car rented in his name that is connected to the crime.
Two men tried to leave the Hernandez home in a white Chrysler sedan that had been parked in the driveway all day.
They were blocked by police and later taken away by authorities, not in handcuffs.
Not long after, a white SUV with tinted windows went into the driveway.
About 7:30 p.m., a courier dropped off a package from a Boston law firm.
And ten minutes after that, a woman got out if a car with Connecticut plates and was escorted by police into the home.
As it got dark, detectives continued to focus on the white Chrysler in the driveway with its doors open and the white SUV in the garage.
In a brief statement, the Patriots said they were aware of the reports, but they said they did not anticipate saying anything due to the ongoing investigation.

That headline reads as if it were a tennis match, but it's not. And it's true: the Philadelphia Phillies just completed a three-game sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers at Citizens Bank Park, winning all three games by the same score: 7-6.
It's not just the scores of the games but the method in which the Phillies won all three -- coming from behind in the late innings to win, twice on walkoffs, Wednesday in extra innings after spotting the Brewers a run in the top of the 10th.
Monday, the Phillies scored four runs in the bottom of the ninth, winning the game on a sacrifice fly by Ty Wigginton. All the runs were off new Brewers closer Francisco Rodriguez, who had taken over the role from John Axford just a week ago.
Tuesday, the Phillies turned a 6-1 eighth-inning deficit into the win with a stunning six-run inning that included a two-run pinch-homer from Erik Kratz, who has spent much of this season shuttling back-and-forth between Triple-A Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia as an injury replacement.
And Wednesday, it was K-Rod blowing a save again -- his sixth blown save of the season and fourth this month -- and the Phillies scored a pair in the bottom of the 10th inning after giving Milwaukee a 6-5 lead in the top of the inning. Kratz doubled in the tying run and Mike Fontenot, running for Kratz, scored the game-winner on a line single to right by Jimmy Rollins.
The Phillies have now won four straight and eight of their last 11. They've moved ahead of the Brewers (who have now lost six in a row) in the wild-card race by a few percentage points; they stand 9½ games behind the current wild-card-leading Braves and Pirates, and are creeping up on the slumping Mets and Marlins.
Hunter Pence, Cliff Lee, Rollins and Wigginton, among other Phillies, have been the subject of trade rumors as the non-waiver deadline approaches. But as they creep closer to the wild-card lead, and Chase Utley is starting to hit a little, and Ryan Howard is starting to hit a little, maybe they stand pat -- 9½ games behind in late July isn't anywhere near an insurmountable barrier, as we learned just last year.

I'm a playa from way back and playa's gotta play. I'm straight pimpin'. Southside OG's keep it real. Represent the third coast.
FRG is the most logical poster on this board. You guys just don\'t like where the logical conclusions take you.
There are articles like this every year but no one asks the question is another year going to make Reggie Nelson "smarter", as some feel he needs to be, is another year going to make Siler "less stiff", Jarrett "faster"? I doubt it. The only thing these kids are missing out on is playing at a high level in college and working on their degrees. They are what they are.
Whoever wrote this article is an idiot. Quoting unnamed sources holds no weight and calling Reggie stupid is just plan racism. Why is Landry 'smarter?' B/c he made less plays then Reggie?? Had less big hits?? Less big plays?? Less picks?? Less blocked punts?? Less championship rings?? Or is it b/c he is the light skined cover boy.
