I caught a little bit of flack from one of the guys in the shop yesterday for drinking a bottle of Coca-Cola. At two cans worth (710mL) it is a little on the larger side, but I was sipping it, not guzzling it. I bought a 6 pack of bottles instead of the 12 pack of cans because they were the same price and I could reseal the bottles (which I did).
I don't normally keep pop in the house, but when I do it's Coca-Cola. My dad drinks Coca-Cola. I've seen him ask for Coke in a restaurant, and when the waitress says they serve Pepsi he's ordered water or iced tea instead. It's gotta be Coca-Cola, even better if it's bottled in the BC lower mainland. My dad is a Coca-Cola connoisseur.
He doesn't have many vices, in fact other than my mother's baking I think Coca-Cola is his only real bad habit. He doesn't smoke or chew tobacco. He doesn't use drugs. During my lifetime I've never seen him drink so much as a beer. He doesn't gamble. He doesn't go to strip clubs. He gets up in the morning, goes to work and then comes straight home with his bottle of Coca-Cola and the day's newspaper. If there's a hockey game on that takes precedent over the newspaper. A good vacation is one where he gets lots of work done at home. The lawn is always trimmed short, and a dirty vehicle is unacceptable. While he'll eat anything my mother puts in front of him, he prefers his meat and potatoes. Or pizza. His first answer to everything is "No".
That's my dad.
He's been working as a mechanic for as long as I can remember. First automotive, then commercial transportation. As a child I used to look at his hands after he'd wash them and then shake my head disapprovingly. His nails were always black. You could say Fast Orange is a way of life for our family (with pumice, not without). Last year for Father's Day I found the darkest, dirtiest engine oil I could get my hands on, then dunked my hands in it. I had one of the guys at work take a picture of me so I could send it to him. He works harder than anyone I know, with the possible exception of my sister who may tie with him. He's well respected by everyone he works with. They keep trying to move him into a more supervisory position, but he refuses to take them because he hates the paperwork and doesn't want to work on a computer. Instead he mentors the young apprentices and pulls wrench on the really mind boggling issues that have other people stumped. It probably sounds odd for a woman to say this, but growing up I always wanted to be like my dad.
I was having a conversation with my mother a little while ago when she mentioned that dad felt my sister was more like my her, and I was more like him. I was surprised that he had said that, but after thinking about it for a while I could see it. We're both fairly evenly tempered, and it takes a bit to get us mad. When we do get mad though, stay out of the way. My dad has a very definitive "you're in shit" look, and I have the exact same look. It's a family trait; all of my uncles and cousins make the same expression. Come to think of it, we have a lot of the same expressions. Mom says (lovingly) that I'm anally retentive, I say I'm serious and thorough. Dad is also serious and thorough. We approach problems the same way. We both like working with the radio on. We can be quiet and introspective, and tend to spend a lot of time thinking. We both have a thing for National Geographic and architecture. In a lot of ways (not all) we're both old fashioned and conservative. I inherited his hand writing, skin, eye lashes, nails and crooked teeth.
I know that while mom was the one bawling while saying goodbye when I went off to university, it was far harder on dad. I've never been the pink, glittery, eyelash batting daddy's princess type, but don't fool yourself. I'm daddy's girl.
In honour of this upcoming Father's Day, which I sadly won't be spending with my father (we live in different provinces), I'm listing a few of the things I learned from my dad:
You only get one set of teeth as an adult, and replacing them is painful. Look after them.
My dad has had a horrendous time with his teeth from the time he was a child. My grandparents could afford to put braces on him, and they did, but they had to be removed because they literally sunk into his teeth. Some people don't take care of their teeth, their teeth rot, and they get dentures. My dad took immaculate care of his teeth, his teeth broke off, and he had them replaced with porcelain teeth attached to his remaining roots. It's not a pleasant procedure. While I'm fairly certain my days are numbered, I've made it to my late twenties without any cavities.
How to say "No"
Dad's first answer to anything, regardless of what the question is, is "no". Sometimes "no" means "no", but usually "no" means "I need to think about it so I'm not giving you an answer while you're in front of me pressuring me". This came in handy when I was looking for a home. I had put a holding deposit on a home, but the builder had a ridiculously self serving contract. They said I could make revisions to it, so I did, and they came back to me saying they weren't going to change the contract so I had to take it or leave it. So I left it. It took the sales woman a few minutes to pick her jaw back up off her desk, because when backed into a corner like that most people just cave. She could pout about her lost commission in her little white BMW all she wanted, she shouldn't have played hardball with me.
How to parallel park
I swear the only time I've ever gotten it right straight off the bat was during my driver's exam, and since then I've been hopeless at it. I can blame the lack of power steering right now ;) Of all of the aspects in learning how to drive, this was the only one dad taught me, and it was the lowest stress lesson of the bunch. I'm getting better at this again.
Only pay full price if you're getting EXACTLY what you want
Dad buys his vehicles new. When he decides he needs a new vehicle, he researches the heck out of it. He figures out what he wants and needs in it. Then, rather than checking to see what the lots have available, he orders the vehicle with his exact specifications straight from the factory. Call a new vehicle a pf sin if you want, but after over a decade of wear all of my parent's vehicles still look brand new. I guess that's what happens when you're a mechanic who cleans and polishes your vehicles religiously.
That I don't need makeup
Dad's response to us wearing makeup as teenagers was always "make up for what?" As in, what did we feel we needed to make up for? The answer of course is nothing, but when you're a teenage girl being bombarded with images of "perfect" women who look a certain way, you feel the pressure to change yourself to fit into the mold. Makeup isn't a requirement for me to leave the house. Yesterday I was wearing mascara and tinted lip balm at work. The day before I wore no makeup at all. Sure, as I get older the area under my eyes is getting darker, and I do have acne scarring, but I wear makeup because I enjoy playing around with it, not because I have to.
What did your dad teach you?

They came to America in 1852 from Prussia and settled in St. Paul, where they purchased 540 acres of land whose ever-increasing value became a source of wealth. The Kersts were very generous to the young Benedictine community in Duluth, helping buy land and buildings which led to the founding of St. Mary's Hospital and The College of St. Scholastica. Peter died in 1900 and Anna moved to the Villa to spend her last years with her daughters. She died in 1911 just a few months before Mother Scholastica, and is buried in Gethsemane Cemetery next to her daughters.

Investigation into Sutton school head's '£150k golden goodbye'
7:00am Monday 5th April 2010 in News Exclusive By Leanne Fender
A secret payoff to a departing headteacher is being investigated by a Government watchdog.
The district auditor has refused to sign-off last year's Sutton Council accounts after a complaint from a member of the public about the "golden goodbye" given to Overton Grange School's headteacher when he quit.
Former headteacher Stephen Foxwell is understood to have received more than £150,000 when he resigned at the end of 2008.
An Audit Commission spokes-man said: "The district auditor has received an objection and can't issue a certificate to Sutton Council for its 2008-09 accounts until this has been considered."
Chairman of Sutton Council's audit committee Tim Crowley said the accounts had not been signed off because an elector had made an objection, but refused to divulge the details.
He said: "The Audit Commission is looking into this – if it says something is wrong I will launch an investigation."
The investigation came to light at Monday's full council meeting, when Conservative candidate for Wallington North Jason Hughes asked why the Audit Commission had been unable to issue a certificate for Sutton Council's accounts, but councillors were unable to give a full explanation.
Mr Hughes said after the meeting: "I understand the reason the Audit Commission will not issue a certificate for Sutton Council's accounts is because of a scenario in Overton Grange School, which has lead to a massive drain on the school's general fund."
Since Overton Grange opened in 1997 it has had five headteachers, including two who only stayed at the school for one year.
Mr Foxwell is now headteacher at the British School of Houston in America.
Strategic director of young people and learning services Ian Birnbaum said: "The former headteacher resigned and left at the end of 2008, and the new headteacher started at the school in September 2009.
"I cannot comment on specific monetary matters to do with the pay and allowances for individual staff as that is confidential."
A council spokeswoman said she expected the accounts to be signed off in April.
Chairman of governors at Overton Grange School Brenda Morley said Stephen Foxwell had resigned from his post, however, she refused to comment on his £150,000 pay-off.
Overton Grange School's current headteacher Peter Butterworth said he did not want to add anything to the Sutton Council statement.

Saw a WFAA (local ABC channel 8) ad about TWC dropping them due to contract dispute tonight. What are the chances of them really not coming to terms? I have my Tivo connected to an antenna for OTA as well, should I shift my series recordings to OTA 8-1 to make sure I record them? Thoughts?
Huh. Wow. When did that happen?I've become a slave to my favorites lists.
Got this via email today:

The interactive presentations allow participants to set their own pace for completion. Advisers interested in participating should visit www.brainshark.com/inges/401kModule1. For additional questions, call ING at 888.238.6243.

Random post #2
I want to see how big one can get with true randomness and not excessive posting of sweet peas, memes, pictures, etc - the other one is still around for that. :-)
Am I alone in this?
Please post light hearted (or not) randomness, rants, complaints, brags - whatever strikes your fancy.
Quoting talia-mom:
Banquet is over.
This has been an interesting week.
Came home Tuesday to daughters with pink, green, and purple streaks in their hair! I love it. They told their daddy that they wanted to streak their hair and that koolaid powder would do it.
He called me and I was having too much fun to notice my phone. So he got the koolaid, plastic gloves, and a paint brush. They made a paste, painted their hair, and then washed the leftovers out.
I so love Mr. Lawyer, bow tie, I like deviled eggs man painted his girls' hair. That is why he is so awesome.
Wednesday. My son asked for tap dancing lessons. I'm cool with it. Then I learn he wants them because his teacher next year hates tap and he wants to tap to the desk and bathroom. I told him yes as long as he takes ballet with his sisters. He is thinking about it now.
I posted about a major contract I signed for a wedding weeks ago. Well, after the menu and bar is planned, I have to hire 2 more cooks, 2 bartenders, and 6 more servers/station workers. It is over 500 people at 125 a head because of the open bar.
They are having 8 top shelf cocktails and unlimited wine and beer. This is Louisiana!
But damn Iove this menu.
Catering a crawfish boil Sunday. Have a great weekend.
Quoting Peanutx3:
I am kid free for a few hours.
I'm going to a family cook-out (I got 2 B sure to watch the Calories)! (Oh boy).
Maybe I'll worry about calories tomorrow.
Well... just went to the range with the husband person... (before anyone says a damn thing... I don't trust people.. a few of the nicer ladies on here have shown me that it's not the guns that are dangerous, but the idiots who handle them)
Shot his glock 27... didn't hit anything but dirt.
Shot his S&W M&P.....hit the target a few times.. even hit the orange.. go me.
Still can't shoot to save my life, but I like the S&W better.
On a related note, my arms hurt and my head is ringing.. lol

Todd Crowley
Todd Crowley's Musical Petting Zoo is an active part of the folk and bluegrass festival circuit. Since 2007, it has appeared at more than 75 festivals in a dozen or more states and five Canadian provinces. It has been a mainstay at the Summerfolk Festival in Owen Sound ON since 2009 and a popular attraction at the Mariposa Folk Festival, Clearwater Folk Festival, Ogden Music Festival, Old Songs, Podunk BG & Pickin' in the Pines, among other festivals large and small.
Todd Crowley is a member of the Folk Alliance International and Todd's Musical Petting Zoo has appeared at the Folk Alliance Conference in both Memphis and Toronto.
Besides being a touring exhibit during the festival season, Todd's Musical Petting Zoo is also a community center and resource for promoting folk music and teaching about the different instruments. It recently moved to its new permanent home at 216 Maple Ave Corry PA 16407 after three years in North East PA.
Representing the musical alphabet from accordion to zither, Todd's Musical Petting Zoo is a fully interactive, hands-on activity. Not only are festival-goers invited to examine the instruments, they are encouraged to touch, play, and share the instruments. All ages are welcome—from a child learning how to hold a fiddle for the first time to the old gentleman remembering Irish button accordion tunes.
The Zoo offers the usual instruments like the guitar, banjo, ukulele, mandolin, and fiddle. But there are also a host of other folk instruments such as the kantele, cuatro, bouzouki, and dobro. Dulcimers, autoharps and odd musical gizmos like saws and limberjacks also abound along with drums from five continents. And too many wind and percussive instruments to name.
This spirit of discovery is the inspiration of the zookeeper —Crowley is a patient, caring man with a true love for folk music. "My belief about folk music is that it isn't just music to listen to from a seat in the audience. Folk music is about making music of our own,—on all levels,—and then passing it on to the next generation."
"The instruments have a common DNA," says Crowley, "just like human beings." From a mouth bow to a Celtic harp, from an Andean charango to a Hawaiian ukulele, Todd's Musical Petting Zoo is a vivid and tangible display that instruments, like people, are all interconnected.
Crowley believes a folk instrument is part of the folk tradition, where the sharing of one's love and knowledge of the music, song and stories of the past help to keep the traditions alive. The instruments in the zoo tell a story of their own each time a child connects to the folk tradition by trying an instrument for the first time or an adult rediscovers the joy of making music.
To book Todd's Musical Petting Zoo for a festival or community event, please see the contact page.
At the 16th annual Podunk Bluegrass Festival about his petting zoo & the different instruments that both amateurs & professionals can try out while there.

Recently the NFL talked publicly about their discussions regarding an enhanced schedule that includes 18 regular season games and two preseason games.
From the NFL's perspective, there are several reasons for wanting this but ultimately it appears to come down to money. Moving to a longer schedule, would increase the pie for everyone. The NFL would also be able to play more games internationally increasing the reach of their brand. This has been something the league has expressed interest in.
Commissioner Roger Goodell recently said that in the event they go to an 18-game schedule, a few changes are likely to occur.
You specifically mentioned training camp and offseason. There could be anything from roster sizes to injured reserve rules to something that focuses on the offseason and training camp. It's clear the fans don't want four preseason games. It's clear the players don't want four preseason games. They tell me that all the time.
One of the players. Bears LB Lance Briggs, said he wouldn't be opposed to a longer season, mainly because of the uselessness of preseason games.
"I'll take an 18-game schedule over four preseason games where we all get paid is $1,100 a game," Briggs told the Tribune. "Yes, absolutely, I think that players who are going out there are under-compensated for the work that we put out there on the field in the preseason. …
"I think there are more positives to (an 18-game schedule) than there are negatives. But in order for that to happen, it is going to change some of the dynamics of how we play, or how our coaches choose to coach these guys."
Meanwhile, players like Tom Brady and Ray Lewis have issued a few concerns with the proposal. Official reps from the NFLPA haven't ruled out the possibility but did voice a few concerns, including the risk of injury, post-career health care and extra compensation.
Some players are on board while some aren't. It appears to be a split decision with some people. Tell us what you think in the poll below.

Hunger striker: Don't stop pushing, pounding on the system
by Jamal Ortiz
Greetings to you all from the brothas at Pelican Bay Ad-Seg Unit A1!
We cannot stop now. It will all be for nothing or a lesson of what not to do. There are many of our prison conditions which need to be reformed: the validation process, food, adequate health care, unsanitary and foul living conditions in SHU and Ad-Seg and a host of other problems.
Now is the time we need to push and pound on this system. Our collective unity and group operation is more powerful than an atom bomb.
A strong, tightly knit group of brothas who form the nucleus within the masses should formulate ideas, develop them into achievable objectives and work toward pushing and pounding the hell out of this prison system. Things don't have to be the way they are. Don't give up!
Revolution is not an act but it is a process that involves the actions of the masses. But the first step is establishing a strong nucleus and circle of brothas who are like minded. Once this circle is organized in lockstep order, we will be able to collectively move out and educate, influence and organize the masses.
Don't let the California prison hunger strike and the support that flowed from various media outlets, including the Bay View, go for nothing. All prisoners are obligated to contribute in some way. Get organized, develop a plan, stick to the plan and make it happen. Don't give up!
Send our brotha some love and light: Jamal Ortiz, K-94544, A1-118, P.O. Box 7500, Crescent City CA 95531.

They want better conditions? Let their families pay for it. Or stay out of prison and be a good citizen.↓
"Prisons were not institutionalized on such a massive scale by the people. Most people realize that crime is simply the result of a grossly disproportionate distribution of wealth and privilege, a reflection of the present state of property relations. There are no wealthy men on death row, and so few in the general prison population that we can discount them altogether.
"Imprisonment is an aspect of class struggle from the outset. It is the creation of a closed society which attempts to isolate those individuals who disregard the structures of a hypocritical establishment, as well as those who attempt to challenge it on a mass basis."↓
Reverend Irma Carew
I don't believe prisons work. I believe love works. Not the emotional love that is often touted around as attachment to some object either living or inanimate, and not the emotion that comes as a by product of a mutual agreement, you give me this, and I will love you.
The love I refer to is a supreme state of being where there always was and always will be love without attachment or judgment.
From this state of being love, we are able to apply forgiveness, mercy and tolerance. We are able to forgive others as well as our selves and we are able to start anew.
This is what society lacks, and what is sorely needed.
We cannot change the past, but we can be mindful of each moment and how we interact with the world around us.
We can choose to BE love, and thereby change society one BEING at a time.↓

This queen bed is built with 4" square posts and tongue & groove paneling. The headboard measures 62" tall and footboard posts are 29" tall. I used Rockler 6" bedrail connectors and they are soild and easy to install. 2"x8"x82" make the side rails. This took me a whopping 2 days to build. Finish is the usual watco natural danish oil and satin water-based poly.

The T&G fit loosely in dado's so they can move around if they expand or contract. They slip in the framework & there is horizontal and vertical space for movement. I like using t&g for panels, it's a good alternative to glued panels in some cases.

#11 posted 892 days ago
The blue or grey does not spred past the sapwood once the tree dies. Many of my own pieces have seen UV from windows, and it turns the normal colored portions slightly tan, and may darken the greys and browns in the wood.

Cordele Public Works crews are also preparing for severe weather
and potential flooding.
They were out checking streets today before the heavy rain
The street
superintendent says one road is still washed out from the last heavy rain. They're getting ready
to put in replacement pipes.
"Main thing is
making sure these storm drains are clean. Because once they get covered with
trash and debris and it can't go down into the pipe them it floods the streets
out and makes it unsafe," said Koby Worley, street superintendent.
Public works
crews will be on standby during the night in case they're needed.

As the weather heats up, Overclockers.com is preparing to cool it down with some LN2, dry ice and some extreme overclocking. After the huge success of the first annual benching party, the team has decided to hold the second annual Overclockers.com Benching Party in Philadelphia, PA this June. For the first time ever, the party will be open to the public.
|Benching Party II
|Friday, June 17 – Sunday, June 19 2011
|Crowne Plaza Philadelphia Center City
|1800 Market St.
What is a Benching Party?
The OCF Benching Team, ranked #11 in the world on HWBOT, is gathering once again to take their CPUs, GPUs and other hardware to the extreme. By using liquid nitrogen, world-class hardware enthusiasts will be overclocking to the max. Using this cold compound will eliminate the worry about temperatures shifting the focus to tweaking hardware as far as possible. Attendees will team up to get the most out of their components by sharing knowledge, insight and troubleshooting tips. Many of the benchers in attendance will be shooting for world record scores on HWBOT or personal best frequencies on their CPUs.
Extensive knowledge or background in overclocking is not a prerequisite. Veteran overclockers will be glad to help get your feet wet in exciting world of extreme cooling and the intricacies of how to overclock.
This year's event will be sponsored by Lamptron and Mvix USA. Our readers should recognize these manufacturers from recent product reviews, including the Lamptron Touch Fan Controller and the Mvix Minix 6150SE-UC3 Motherboard. In addition, several other manufacturers, including Silverstone, Zalman and NZXT have agreed to provide door prizes and raffle items for the party.

Thanks Dolk for setting it up!
Thanks to all who set it up!
I'm excited. I'm really hoping to be there.
The thread you made is a lot of help for those that may want to make it by the tail ends of their budget.
OCF, PLEASE COME TO THIS EVENT! Yes there will be more of these in the future, but it may be further away next time. Don't miss this great chance for you to come out and meet some of the members of this forum.
If you missed our stream last time, you missed out on a lot of fun! Please do not hesitate to come out. It will be better than any internet gathering you can imagine.
Put me down as a 'spectator' please!
I'll warn you though, benching cold is very addictive!
You can use my container if you want to get chilly, I won't be using it all the time. Like last year, I'll probably manage the livestreams, help people out a little, and drink a lot of beer. I'll be overclocking though too, probably bringing my 1090T to redo some benches I think I messed up with it, then I'll be doing a few things with 3D on my 2600K and a vid card or two.
Looking forward to meeting you.
Drunken insolent Earthdog will help.
I'll be benching about half the time though probably, so if no one picks up the streamers, they'll just be hanging out when I'm benching.
Just saying
EDIT - That 1090T you guys were talking about has nothing on the 1100T.
I will be when IMOG isn't doing it...hopefully we can get some good discussion going in the chat like last time. Gotta get out of the way so the AMD King can work...IMOG that is. Dolk needs to reclaim the crown ha.
FWIW, I got my best clocks on AMD after Dolk told me to increase CPU-NB voltage when more CPU volts weren't helping any more. Got me a few hundred extra mhz on my quads.
I still rock Dolk's world though, he is more concerned about just OC'ing and seeing what it can do, where I play but I make sure I can get a bot submission out of it.
I'll be brining that 980 as well. Its been wanting to go cold ever since it got to me. I still have no clue who sent it.
Title match at the party!
What should we agree on for losing / winning?
Need to clarify how to win though... First one to see 7Ghz on the screen (your style) or first on to get a 7Ghz validation (my style). I am cool with either way.
But I want to make an alteration... winner of course gets to keep the chip and the braging rights. Loser, has to drink the pink drink, also takes 2 shots of high caliber destruction (i.e. Crack Pipe Shot, Crystal Skull + SoCo.) Loser pays.
2. I cannot come cause I'm only 17 (soon to be 18, 5 more days)
3. I would love to compete cause I'm underage, so I can't drink (Did i just use that as a advantage? )
4. I'm in Florida, too long of a drive.
I'll possibly be there next year though, I'll be watching the live stream for now.
Glad to have you on board!
The last one was a blast.. so much so that I bought a F1ee pot for the next one.. Unfortunately this one isn't in the cards for me.. Have fun guy's
Those that haven't been to one of these event..
please attend if you can, you will never forget it..
Nice set up Dolk
BTW, I'll be taking some video with my camera this time around, I really enjoyed the short videos you did!
Put aside your doubt, come, and hang out with those that you have met on the forum. If you have just been lurking and watching the benching team grow this year, come see how we do it!
Even though these events happen once a year, the event moves from place to place. This is your chance to come out and see us.
Come and support your Benching Team, have some fun, tell some tales, ask questions, and learn.
Some new news... My parents are going to help me out by buying a pack of 12 or 24 rolls of blue shop towel from Home Depot for the benching party. So, as long as I make it, shop towel should be somewhat covered (especially if I get a pack of 24, or 2x12 packs).
It was a lot worse for the first one. We all wanted it in August two weeks after we decided the party. Than we changed it to November before Thanksgiving. Imagine sitting in your office everyday for 4 months waiting to bench LN2 for the first time.
Yeah that was but turned out great in the end. I hope my work calms down so I'm not all twitchy when I get there!
If you want to come, please let us know by Wednesday. All invitations will close than. However you are still more than welcome to come by and spectate.
Or at least should be...
I should go check the sweat shop.
Actually I have killed a 980, 975, 965, and M4A89GTD-Pro.
Not much left for me to do.
That was only one run, wrong drivers, and not maxed on the GPU clocks... I'll improve it next time I have time. Probably at Microcenter in St Louis next weekend.
For your enjoyment:
Great work, kid!
Who won the prizes you all had? I think I left too early to win anything.
Me, I left my shirt I was in such a hurry in the morning!
Pity what happened?
Edit: Card doesn't even show up in device manager when installed as a secondary.
I'm not sure why that is, but I can't help but think that conformal doesn't create as good of a solid consistent seal from moisture as we might imagine. I think the problem comes from hoping a light conformal spray can be used, then RMA isn't a problem - I think the first priority with insulation has to be ensuring you don't get moisture where you don't want it.
Really though, this is just another chance for me to promote my vaseline fetish. If you have vaseline caked generously around anything you don't want wet, its hard to go wrong! (I might be wrong, but I've been under LN2 maybe a dozen times or so, and haven't killed anything other than that 980 at the party so far - that was volts tho)
I think I had less problems with eraser than conformal.
Nope. Its one of the "approved" methods.
forgot to make sure the ram was in dual channel mode...doh.
There are a lot of pictures on facebook, a couple videos, and a bit more media that hasn't been parsed yet, but there's already been a lot of interest in whats been shared on FB. We'll have our summary and highlights up on our frontpage soon, including the PHI and STL events.
Thanks for your support Rob. I thought the banner was huge also... If it weren't for the impressive amperage capacity on your fan controllers, I would have thought Lamptron was compensating for something!

Following an early career that mainly included small parts on Empty Nest, Murphy Brown, and other assorted sitcoms, Craig Bierko made a number of unsuccessful stabs at stardom in feature films with leading-man roles in the poorly received comedies Sour Grapes, The Suburbans, and Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star. He also starred opposite Gretchen Mol in 1999's sci-fi dud The Thirteenth Floor. In 2005, Bierko's career began to pick up steam when he bulked up to play boxer Max Baer in Ron Howard's Cinderella Man. Playing opposite acting heavyweights Russell Crowe and Paul Giamatti, Bierko held his own and received high marks from critics. He parlayed the success of the performance into an extended arc on ABC's Boston Legal, and in 2007 was cast as the lead on Fox's The Rules for Starting Over, a romantic sitcom about a divorced man's reluctant attempts at entering the dating scene. In 2012, he played a supporting role in Peter and Bobby Farrelly's reboot of The Three Stooges. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

September 3, 2004
Cook County -- As hundreds of thousands of evacuees leave Florida and head north, they're creating a huge traffic jam on the Interstate.
Traffic moved at about about 20 miles per hour, then all of a sudden came to a dead standstill as they neared the Valdosta city exits. People are actually pulling off on the off ramps and shoulders of the roads to sleep.
This morning, Georgia State Patrol troopers had to actually wake people up in the cars to keep them moving north.
The head of the Florida Highway Patrol says he's "Very, very pleased" with the evacuation procedures. Colonel Chris Knight says there are no problems with traffic flow this right now.
Hurricane Frances is beginning to make its presence felt along Florida's shoreline, winds and waves are picking up. The hurricane was about 200 miles east-southeast of the Florida East Lower Coast. Sustained winds are 115 miles-per-hour. It's moving west/northwest about 8 miles-per-hour.
Forecasters say the forward speed could slow down even more before it makes landfall. Hurricane-force winds are reaching up to 85 miles from its center. Weather officials now expect the storm's core to hit somewhere on Florida's Atlantic coast Saturday afternoon or evening. That's later than earlier predicted.
Hurricane Frances already is affecting Glynn County on Georgia's coast by forcing the cancellation of several weekend events. Fort Frederica National Monument on St. Simons Island will close tomorrow and Sunday and may reopen Monday. Park superintendent Mike Tennent says staff needs to secure the park as well as their homes in case the storm hits the Georgia coast.
The Brunswick-Golden Isles Antique Car Club canceled its annual car show scheduled for Saturday on St. Simons. Club member Brian Mallon says the storm has caused people from Florida to cancel because they don't want to bring their cars up. The event is tentatively rescheduled for November sixth.
Rangers say Cumberland Island National Seashore and Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge will remain open to tourists as long as the storm continues on its projected path.
Georgia Power plans to dispatch about 100 employees and 45 trucks to Perry from north Georgia to help with any storm repair. The crews are expected to arrive at the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter on Sunday. The company says about 225 other workers have been told to come packed and ready to travel when they arrive for work Monday.
Officials expect to dispatch more than 600 utility contractors and tree movers to repair storm damage. Georgia's coastline not hit by hurricane since 1898
Georgia has not taken a direct hit from a major hurricane since 1898. Coastal Georgia's last hurricane evacuation was prompted five years ago by Hurricane Floyd, which jammed Interstate 16 from Savannah to Macon. More than 350,000 fleeing Georgians were joined on the state's highways by two million fleeing Florida and South Carolina.
Problems from that evacuation prompted the Georgia Department of Transportation to expand the state's hurricane routes and to post evacuation signs along 33 different routes in south Georgia.
Crews also installed control gates that look like railroad crossing arms at entrance ramps along I-16 to make it easier to reverse the eastbound lanes during evacuations.

A month ago, the Yesware leadership team came to Boulder for an offsite, a few customer visits, a several hour strategy meeting with me, and then a nice dinner with me at Kasa.
Before we started the strategy meeting, Matthew Bellows led us in a brief ritual where we "bowed in" to the meeting. At the end of the meeting, we all "bowed out." I loved it – it set the tone of respect for each other at the start of the meeting and signaled the end of the meeting when we bowed out.
A few weeks ago, we had a Yesware board meeting. Matthew once again had us bow in to the meeting. This time there was a little bit of nervous laughter around the board table as it was the first time the full board had been exposed to this ritual. It wasn't a negative tittering, just the sounds of a group encountering something unusual, interesting, and requiring some emotional intimacy while trying to process it in the moment.
Once again I loved it. It got me thinking about two things: (1) the importance of respect as a core value and (2) traditions that scale across the company.
Let's start with respect. I've written about this many times on this blog. In 2004 I wrote a post titled TDC (Thinly Disguised Contempt). I learned about TDC from Alan Trefler, the CEO of Pega, who I don't spend much time with but view as a long time friend and someone I've learned a lot from over the years. Early on at Feld Technologies, I learned how incredibly toxic TDC was and how critically important respect was. Respect for the people I work with, and the elimination of TDC from my mental state and behavior, is a core value of mine. Sure – I fail at it sometimes, but I keep practicing.
I have immense respect for Matthew as an entrepreneur and CEO. I've learned a lot from the few years I've worked with him. His calmness, even in moments of stress is powerful. The monastic culture he's created at Yesware is inspiring. His execution as a leader, and the performance and cohesiveness of his team, is delightful to be part of.
Bowing in and bowing out made me gleeful. It was another wonderful example of something I could use in lots of other places and another thing I learned from Matthew. As I mulled it over, I realized the specific act wasn't the key thing, but the power of a tradition that scales across the company. Bowing in and bowing out before and after each meeting. The gong that gets rung at Gnip every time a new sale is made or partner deal is signed. Or Paid PAID vacation at FullContact.
The combination of respect for every individual in the company combined with scalable traditions are incredibly powerful.
On Wednesday my partners and I had our monthly offsite. One of our rituals is a "check in" where we go around the table and each of us talks for as long as we want about how we are doing. Sometimes it's a short discussion, other times it's a long discussion. Since we do it monthly, nothing can build up. It's similar to the monthly life dinner that I do with Amy - introspective, emotionally aware, and open. Some of these sessions have been incredibly powerful – on this one I had tears in my eyes at one moment as I was expressing appreciation for something my partners had done for me. And all of us had a powerful moment of calibration for everything we are feeling right now.
On Thursday I spent the morning with the Bullet Time Ventures team. This is the fund that David Cohen, the CEO of Techstars, founded. My partners and I are investors and huge supporters. The team was having an offsite and they asked me to participate in some of the discussion. I gave them a lot of suggestions and answered a lot of question, but one moment near the end stuck out in my mind when I was asked how my partners and I have managed to develop and sustain the deep personal and professional relationship we have, even with all the stress and conflict inherent in our business. I said that one of our deeply held beliefs is that we "never wear our armor to a meeting." We call this being intellectually honest and emotional pure with each other. And it's another example of linking respect with a scalable tradition – we never want to wear our armor in any of our interactions with each other.
Matthew – thank you for the gift of bow in and bow out. Both the specific action, and the reflection on the meaning of it.
I had a great breakfast meeting at the Cambridge Marriott with Michael Schrage, a research fellow at MIT yesterday morning. We had never met before and I loved the conversation – his brain was bubbling with ideas that are relevant to many of the things I'm interested in, he challenged some of my thinking, and we had a deep and awesome conversation about open source hardware, makers, and MakerBot.
This morning Raj Bhargava (who recently co-founded two companies I've invested in – Yesware and SkedulMe) sent me a blog post by Michael titled Tip for Getting More Organized: Don't. In it Michael makes the argument that the notion of spending time each day organizing your tasks, the concept of email folders, and the idea of productively organizing yourself is obsolete. The money quote at the end is:
"The essential takeaway is that the new economics of personal productivity mean that the better organized we try to become, the more wasteful and inefficient we become. We'll likely get more done better if we give less time and thought to organization and greater reflection and care to desired outcomes. Our job today and tomorrow isn't to organize ourselves better; it's to get the right technologies that respond to our personal productivity needs. It's not that we're becoming too dependent on our technologies to organize us; it's that we haven't become dependent enough."
I couldn't agree more. I spent almost no time "organizing my tasks." In fact, I no longer have a task list. I have outcomes I'm going after. They fit within a daily, weekly, quarterly, and annual tempo. The daily and weekly outcomes are dynamic – I have to think about them regularly and they change and shift around (I have new ones each day and new ones each week.) I call these my Daily P1s and my Weekly P1s (which I wrote about recently in a post titled Managing Priorities)- the daily ones are the three things I want to accomplish before I go to sleep; the weekly ones are the three things I want to accomplish each week before Monday morning.
But that's it. I have a daily schedule that is highly structured (and managed by my assistant) so I don't have to spend a millisecond thinking about who I need to meet with, where I need to be, or what I need to schedule for later. If you know me, you know that I just "go where my schedule tells me to." I process all of my email with one touch, I write what I want when I want, and I have a strong conceptual hierarchy for prioritizing high interrupt things. I also stay off the phone unless scheduled – if you spend time with me for a day it's likely that the only time I'm on the phone is with Amy to say "hi – I love you" or have a pre-scheduled call.
I love the notion of focusing on outcomes rather than organization. For as long as I've been an adult, I've been hearing about, reading, thinking about, and experimenting with different technology to be "more organized and productive." I'm an aggressive user of whatever exists and when I reflect on where I'm at in 2012 I definitely feel like I've gotten to the place where I'm spending almost all of my time and energy on outcomes and achieving them, not on organizing myself.
If you are someone who spends 30 minutes or more a day "organizing yourself", I encourage you to step back and think about what you could change and how that might shift you from focusing on organizing to working toward outcomes. It's liberating.
I'm at the end of day three of another very intense, but enjoyable and satisfying week. I've been in Seattle the past two days and am headed to LA for the next two days before finally making it home after being on the road for the past two weeks.
As I was getting ready to go to bed in order to wake up in time to make my 6:40am flight, I was rolling my one remaining priority for the week around in my head. I was thinking to myself, "two down, one to go." And I realized I have been using a construct of "three priorities a week max" for a long time.
Now, I do a lot more than three things a week. But, on Monday mornings as I'm going through my daily information routine, I usually carve out a few minutes to make sure I have my priorities for the week firmly lodged in my brain. I limit myself to three as I don't think you can have more than three "highest priorities" at any given time. When I start the week, I make a clear mental commitment to get these priorities (or P1′s in Zynga speak) done. Each day when I wake up, I think about what I need to do to get closure on these priorities.
Some weeks I have three, others I have one or two. I always have at least one. And they are always important. Occasionally I can't get one done and it rolls over into the next week, but once something becomes a P1 it stays a P1 until it gets done. And I can never have more than three P1′s. And they should all be able to be completed by the end of the week. But most importantly, they are clearly defined and easily explained (e.g. if you walk up to me and ask me what my P1s are for this week, I should be able to recite them without thinking.)
While I have plenty of things that I'm working on that have a much longer arch than one week, I find this weekly rhythm to be very grounding. I have a clear sense of accomplishment on a weekly basis, I clear the decks of big priorities, and I regularly tackle hard stuff that just needs to get done. I also have many more than three things that I complete each week, including things that regularly come up that are as important (or even more important) that whatever I've defined as my P1s for that week. But I don't shuffle the priorities around – by having the big ones for the week set at the beginning of the week, I have a clear set to focus on whenever I need to re-ground myself.
One more to go. I've got two days to get it done. And I've got plenty of time on my remaining two plane flights to knock it off.

Steps on the Burgplatz

Steps on the Burgplatz
The flight of stairs on the Burgplatz in front of the "Schlossturm" ( castle tower) draws scores of people during nice weather. Tourists and residents alike enjoy ships passing by on the Rhine river, maybe having lunch from the small fast food restaurants around the "Burgplatz". A highlight is watching the sun setting over the river, downing a local beer that can be bought in the kiosks nearby.
Dusseldorf - old city waterfront
The Burgplatz (place of the castle) is a central place in the old town of Duesseldorf. The main landm...
Germany? Before the beginning there was Ginnungagap, an empty space of nothingness, filled with pure creative power. (Sort of like the inside of my head.)
And it ends with Ragnarok, the twilight of the Gods. In between is much fighting, betrayal and romance. Just as a good Godly story should be.
Heroes have their own graveyard called Valhalla. Unfortunately we cannot show you a panorama of it at this time, nor of the lovely Valkyries who are its escort service.
Hail Odin, wandering God wielding wisdom and wand! Hail Freya, hail Tyr, hail Thor!
Odin made the many lakes and the fish in them. In his traverses across the lands he caused there to be the Mulheim Bridge in Cologne, as did he make the Mercury fountain, Mercury being of his nature.
But it is to the mighty Thor that the Hammering Man gives service.
Between the time of the Nordic old ones and that of modern Frankfort there may have been a T.Rex or two on the scene. At least some mastodons for sure came through for lunch, then fell into tar pits to become fossils for us to find.
And there we must leave you, O my most pure and holy children.

Miami SSOL. Say it ain't so.
Well it isn't. The article points out the obvious. The Heat do not have anywhere near the shooters they need to run that offense. Plus it is one built on sharing and we all know how much Wade and James need the ball in there hands. Even Bosh is getting a little ansy for his lack of touches. Sorry ESPN. I know everything is about the heat but there is only one SSOL and only one Steve Nash.

Will you be able to look at projects by category?
I will check that along with a filter per categories via ajax.
Great Theme!
It would be great to have the portfolio itmes sortable after categories via ajax.
This feature will be integrated in the next update.
great! it would be cool to have a facebook share button in addition to the tweet button in the projects.
Yeah, you can also add it easily to the template by modifying single-projects.php.
Hi Simon!
I have download your update and upload it to my server, but now it is never working…i have send you an mail, would be nice you can helping me!
Loving working with this theme but the issue when using postname as the permalink and portfolio items giving a 404 error is a major problem for me.
Am also struggling to get any joy with ShareThis installed as it doesn't seem to be picking up the URL .
... a delicious piece of work, nonetheless!
I will try to fix the problem with the 404 error this week.
Yes ! Great theme !
A sortable by category project page will be great ! How can i do ti have the same page like you for the "News & Press" page ?
I become on all my project pages that Error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_project_video() in /kunden/258139_4020/mydomain/wp-content/themes/theagency/single-projects.php on line 46
Can you help me please! Thanks!
Open single-projects.php file and search for the following PHP function – <?php get_project_video() ?>
Remove this line, it's a mistake for a further update that will enable to post a video instead of images.
Please Simon ! Help me !
Just read the documentation, it's explained.
Where ? In howto.html ? because i can find it !
/DOCS/index.html -> A) Theme installation
Thx for your help !
Hi Simon,
Just to confirm the update fixed everything, just merged your changes with the stuff we had done and all looks good to go.
May thanks for the update
My pleasure, I will submit other updates later to add more features to the theme.
Does this update:
Updated to version 1.1 – April 29, 2011
have video and category ajax function?
No it's a last minute update to fix important bugs.
Wow. Well this would be amazing to use for the proper project. Don't have a project on my plate that this would be good for right now… But wow, if I do! Ummmmm…
My questions or concerns….
How easy is it to update the background image to a customized background image…. I would not want to go completely grey / black / white.. It's kind of flat and bleak. I'd hope that it would be relatively easy to customize / skin, and put in a semi trans white background for the content area to give a little bleed through from whatever background image the site would have…
The blog is featureless… Where are the Recent Posts / Popular Posts / Related Posts widgets?
Thank you very much for your feedback! I wanted to keep the blog featureless because I hate to see a website filled with unnecessary things. This site is built to be clean and simple. Hope you understand.
For the background, you'll need to upload your background image and play with the CSS a little bit. Really easy, I can help you if needed.
Is there a blog function to this wp theme?
Also, do you know when the update will occur for the addition of video? Will the video update include an ability for the slider to play video?
In the widget areas currently…can I put the embed code for a video in a text widget? or is that still in the works also?
Yes there is a blog function, just navigate to "News & Press" on the live preview. Everything related to videos is a WIP ; there is no ETA at this time for the update.
Hi, what is the ETA of the upcomming video update? If i could add Youtube I-frame-code instead of a picture at the project showcase, i will buy it!
No ETA for video update right now. Will release asap ; buy it and just update the theme when it's ready.
Was about to buy this but looks like it needs some massive improvements.
Will keep an eye out for the update.
Massive improvements ? It only need a small update to add the functionality to post videos as a showcase instead of images and few other small things. Currently working on that!
Massive improvements ? It only need a small update to add the functionality to post videos as a showcase instead of images and few other small things. Currently working on that!
Aw man, beautiful, just beautiful! Keep it up, I am always looking forward to your works. Cheers!
Thank you my friend, always good to read your feedbacks!
Great theme. Thanks! Like others i'm eager for drop down menus and category sorting.
An option at least to add a blog would be nice i mean studios do have news and updates! It also makes the theme more flexible for other projects.
If you have no intention of adding a blog page to the "wild"- could you please just send me the code/ pages? I'd appreciate that!
I was going to use this for a project- but will wait until these elements have been added/ updated. Then it will be close to perfect!
Humph, "News & Press" is the blog section…..
Double post.
Wow, just wow. This is absolutely gorgeous. So minimalist and clean; a perfect canvas for typography snobs in particular. I really need to find something to use this in.
@nzkulture What do you mean an option to add a blog?? It's a wordpress theme… go to News & Press. That's the blog section. The fact that it's called something other than "Blog" just emphasizes the professional tone of the theme.
Thank you for your feedback. Really appreciated

Auditions for 'Schoolhouse Rock Live! Too
Auditions have been scheduled for the upcoming Southwestern College theatre and Marquee PAC production of "Schoolhouse Rock Live! Too."
Auditions will be held on Tuesday, May 24, and Wednesday, May 25, in Messenger Recital Hall in the Darbeth Fine Arts Center on the campus of Southwestern College. Audition times for both days will be 1-4 p.m., and 6-8 p.m. Actors are to bring a photo and any song that they are comfortable singing. The photo does not have to be a professional head shot.
The auditions are for actors ages K-12th grade but according to director Allyson Moon, adults are welcome too.
"We are looking for youth actors from kindergarten to 12th grade but it's really open for actors of all ages," Moon says. "If parents want to participate, there are roles for them."
"Schoolhouse Rock Live! Too" is a continuation of a production done 10 years ago.
"Southwestern College collaborated with Winfield Community Theatre for 'Schoolhouse Rock Live!'" Moon says. "This show incorporates more of those short pieces that teach us things we need to know like astrology, ecology, and civics. I would encourage anyone to audition if they have ever had the desire to act or sing and maybe even dance a little bit. This could be a great opportunity for families to be involved."
Through the Winfield Arts and Humanities Council, three week-long classes have been scheduled. Anyone participating in any of the classes will also have the opportunity to be in "Schoolhouse Rock Live! Too."
The classes are:
• Story Theatre—Using both creative, dramatics, and traditional rehearsal techniques, children in grades K-3 will work with Moon and students from the Southwestern College Theatre department on development of acting, storytelling, and other performance skills. Class runs for one week, May 23-27.
• Music Theatre Performance—Children in grades 4-6 will work with Moon and students from the Southwestern College Theatre department on development of acting, singing, and dancing performance skills. Class runs for one week, May 31-June 4.
• Improvisational Acting—All levels of experience are welcome for this class. Theatre gaming will primarily be used in process and performance. Actors will work with Moon and members of SC's improv troupe, 9 Lives, and prepare for an improv showcase. Class runs for one week, June 13-17.
Performance dates for "Schoolhouse Rock Live! Too" are June 24-26.
For more information about the auditions, contact Moon at (620) 229-6328. To register or for more information about the three classes, contact the Winfield Arts and Humanities Council at (620) 221-2161.

I went shopping for some new underbritches last night. My "full-coverage-wear-with-skirts-on-a-windy-day" drawers were looking a bit ragged. So it was off to the no asterisk store to get some new panties. They no longer carried the style that I bought the last time, so I bought their latest offering in the size I always buy. The size I've been wearing for nearly ever, the size that I've worn in a forty pound range. This size, that when I put them on this morning felt like I was crawling into an intertube. I re-peeked at the size again to make sure that I hadn't bought some sort of tour-de-france-for-little-people underpants, but no, the size on the label was the same as on the hangar.
But OUCH. They are not wearing any better this afternoon than they did this morning. And I now own several pairs of these torture devices.

"I was on Opie and Anthony a couple of nights ago and those guys were like you know what? [Brock Lesnar is] your Mike Tyson. This is the guy where people are gonna tune in and say 'Oh My God what's this guy gonna do next?' You know what the crazy part is? I just flew up there a couple weeks ago and we hung out and went to dinner. [Lesnar's] such a good guy, but I'll give you this: The week of the event I have a hard time dealing with him. He gets miserable, he's a grouchy guy who can snap at any time. That's for real."
UFC President Dana White does not condone but at the same time understands the behavior of Brock Lesnar before, during and after UFC 100. White gave Lesnar a verbal lashing following his meltdown against Frank Mir in the main event of their July 11 super-show, but also admits that (aside from the unprovoked sponsor bashing) he might have reacted in a similar fashion following the months of trash talk coming out of the Mir camp. Lesnar -- who already claims he's built like a black man may indeed have that same aura surrounding him that Tyson did. We can only hope that his career ends on more favorable terms. Not just for him, but for the sake of mixed martial arts as well.

For those of you who were keeping tabs on former Duke basketball player Greg Paulus, a decision has been made on his future in football: he will be playing QB for Syracuse.
Here at WCG, much had been made of the fact that he received a tryout from the Green Bay Packers in April. Paulus also tried out for Michigan and Nebraska, and said that he had been contacted by about two dozen other colleges.
Paulus was a basketball player at Duke who lost his starting spot on the team to a freshman. He is 6'1" and 180 lbs.
And the question that is still on my mind, especially with Rogers, Flynn, and Brohm on their roster, is what were the Packers thinking?

The Gennady Golovkin (26-0-0, 23 KOs) vs Matthew Macklin (29-4-0, 20 KOs) Fight Video Boxing IBO and WBA World middleweight titles.
Now THAT'S a liver shot.
This guy is a beast
Golovkin is impressive. 1st boxing card i gave a shot watching in a while, and i enjoyed. PErsonally I thought Gonzales beat oosthaizen. Oost got lucky on the draw and if Gonzales improves his cardio he can take oosthaizen any day.
As on origional old school boxing fan i say it's worth watching boxing for Golovkin , I see a bit of Roberto Duran in him tough MOFO
Triple G!!! Keeping boxing alive, unlike the Heavyweight Champions!
You don't find the jab jab clinch style of fighting fun to watch?:P

Who is better?
I have often asked myself this question. Collie has emerged as a great slot receiver in Gonzo's absence. But if you think back to the '07 and '08 Gonzo, he was just as, if not even a little more electrifying. He was nimble and had pretty good speed. Just like Collie it was a very rare thing to see him drop a pass. I think Collie is great and look forward to seeing them duke it out (with Gonzo finally healthy) for that 3rd wide receiver spot. No knock to Collie, but I prefer Gonzo. He just seems more agile and fun to watch. I know Collie has more yards and TD's in his career so far, but if you check the two years Gonzalez was healthy Dallas and Reggie were Peyton's Primary guys. But I posted this to ask you guys who you think is better and to support your argument for the player you chose. Check these videos out if you need more of a base for comparison.

The 1979 HS class is considered by many observers to be the best group ever.
Joe Hall and his staff landed several of the very best from that class and just missed on a couple of others.
Sam Bowie was National POY (by some) and ranked #3 by Gibbons.
Derrick Hord was 2-time HS All-American and ranked #5 by Gibbons.
Dirk Minniefield was UK's 3rd McDonalds A-A in the class (Mr Basketball in KY) and rated #20 by Gibbons.
Charles Hurt was Parade HS All-American (UK's 4th HS A-A in that class) and rated #36 by Gibbons.
Tom Heitz was a well regarded player from Indiana (hisnephew Brad Miller is now playing in the NBA) who rounded out the class.
As many know, UK nearly landed Ralph Sampson that year. Sampson was rated #1 by Gibbons and was the consensus POY in 1979. He picked Virginia over UK at the end.
UK also finished #2 for Steve Stipanovich (#10 Gibbons), Jimmy Braddock (#17 Gibbons), Clark Kellogg (#2 Gibbons), and Howard Carter (#50 Gibbons).
Melvin Turpin (#79 Gibbons that year) eventually became a Cat after a 5th year in Prep School.
Gibbons called the class, "Tops by a mile!" and "... perhaps the best recruiting year ever!" in his year end evaluation.
(Note: I rank the 1965 UCLA class as the best ever - Alcindor, Allen, Shackelford, Heitz. They were undefeated as Frosh and 88-2 on the Varsity winning 3 straight NCAA titles)
How did the 79 Cat recruits do at UK? Well, not as well as you might have expected.
The Cats were 96-28 (24-7 average) over 4 seasons. They won several SEC titles but no SECT championships. Overall 2-4 in SECT and 3-4 in NCAA games. A big reason why that class "underachieved" was that Bowie was injured and missed 1982 and 83 seasons entirely.
So just fair (in terms of results) but still the most highly rated UK recruiting class.

I've since retired from professional construction after 24 years and have reinvented myself in a new career. Follow the links above or catch me on Facebook. If you can, "Like" my page for me. They tell me if I get enough "Likes" for my business Facebook that I get some "neato" marketing tools. Really? I know, I'm just trying to play the game here.
Comments: For comments (Be Nice or at least constructive) you can reach me at: email@example.com
Most of us out there with modified vehicles are frustrated artists. We can't draw or make a decent painting, write a book or produce a movie, but we love to fabricate things. We see them in our minds and love to make them come to life and when we're done, it's like driving a giant toy. If you can dream it, with enough work and creativity, you can drive it. Yes, it's true. When we finally get to drive it, we turn the radio off sometimes just to hear the engine or listen to the transmission go through the gears with the whine of the turbo and the rumble on the downshift. It's kinda like music to us only better. So, cut us some slack! We're not all "making up for something we lack" when we modify our vehicles. We just love to create things and watch them work, it's in our nature.
Oh, and before I go to the list, someone may be asking just who painted all that; Art Himsl painted the flames while Mike Farley painted the Deer Creek Logo. If you'd like to see more of Art Himsl's work, put a search on your favorite search engine using "Art Himsl". He's been using his unique and creative talents for 51 years now and you can't go to a car show without seeing remnants of his imagination on someone's metal or fiberglass. The only thing I asked of Mr. Himsl when he painted my truck was not to tell me what it was going to look like. I'm basically a carpenter, not a painter. Like Clint said, "A man's got to know his limitations." I try.
Someone may be wondering what the white tanks are; they're propane tanks. Propane to a diesel is like nitrous to a gas motor. It gives you about 80hp increase and, on a diesel, cleans up the air as well. I obtained an "executive order" for the propane system from the State of California that (loose translation) it makes the air cleaner by completing the burning process of the diesel fuel so, it's okay to install. Some companies will tell you that propane will destroy your diesel while others will tell you it's the best thing since sliced bread. I found that the companies that don't endorse it, don't make it and vice-versa. After talking to the enlightened diesel gods I've learned that the only motors that get destroyed are the ones that use too much propane. There are some guys who figure if a little propane gives you a little more power, well then, a lot more propane will give you a lot more power, right? Well, sorta. Too much propane will raise the temperature in the cylinders to a melt down point. Everything in moderation.
You could argue this until the cows come home (no I'm not a dairy farmer) but I can only testify to my own experience and that would be that I think it's great. It increases your mileage, gets rid of any excessive diesel smoke and adds power. Gee, this is tough. It keeps your oil cleaner as well because when more of the diesel is burned (propane being a catalyst for diesel) you have cleaner blow-by into your crankcase so your oil lasts longer and lubricates better, for a longer period of time. You can't beat it. Oh...it looks cool too.

The Winona Daily News police report released the names of the individuals who stashed a live goat in their trunk with plans of slaughtering the animal, which had been painted purple and gold with a # 4 shaved on its side: http://www.winonadailynews.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/article_741a548e-929e-11de-9c2c-001cc4c03286.html
Janelle Dorothy Riopel, 21, of St. Paul and Sonny Yang, 24, of La Crosse, Wis., take a bow for your inspired re-imagining of Goodfellas.
Not noted is whether Riopel and Yang were angry Packer fans, or weirdly-devoted Viking fans. Coming from Lacrosse and St. Paul, they could go either way.
Having graduated from Winona State, I can tell you this story makes perfect sense happening in Winona.

Cardinal Ruben Salazar of Bogota, president of the Bishops' Conference of Colombia, offered his prayers and condolences for the families of 32 children who died in a bus that caught fire.
"The Church in Colombia is praying for the parents who are mourning the tragic deaths of their children," Cardinal Salazar said via Twitter.
According to Colombian media, the 32 children were returning from a Pentecostal revival meeting on May 18, when the bus that was carrying them burst into flames near the town of Fundacion in northern Colombia.
Authorities are working to determine the cause of the fire.
The mayor of Fundacion, Luz Stella Duran, told Caracol Radio on May 19 that it could take coroners up to four days to identify the remains of each of the children.
She said the bodies of the children have been taken to Barranquilla to be identified and that the mayor's office is providing transportation to the city for their families.
