Ellis Paul - The Day After Everything Changed
"Ellis Paul is one of Boston's best-ever songwriting exports..."
- The Boston Globe
'The Day After Everything Changed,' the new record from acclaimed singer-songwriter Ellis Paul, will be released January 12. Since emerging onto the Boston folk scene over 18 years ago, Paul's music has been consistently recognized and celebrated by both critics and fans alike. The new record reinforces this acclaim and is sure to cement his place as one of America's most beloved songwriters.
Recorded at Sorted Noise studio in Nashville, the 15-song album was produced by Thad Beaty and Jason Collum and features five songs co-written by Paul's longtime friend and collaborator, Sugarland's Kristian Bush. Of Paul, Bush notes, "Ellis has a voice that is so powerful that you know who it is the second he comes through your radio.
His music and songs are a new birth in American sound that makes me want to go see concerts again." The songs on the record reflect Paul's commitment to storytelling, exemplified in the title track "The Day After Everything Changed." Described by Paul himself, the song "is about people who are at a crossroads in their life; a hurricane Katrina victim wondering what direction his life would take after the storm hit; a person doing the long drive home after being laid off at work." Paul continues, "I have committed myself to writing more conversationally. I like songs to be cultural events, little ones, that somehow tell me what it feels like to be living here on this planet in this country at this time. I want to hear about people's joys and woes and apply them to my own. You can't fake real life stories. When you're faking it - it's obvious. As long as the writing feels real "it works in any genre."
The Day After Everything Changed is Paul's first studio album in five years and proves that his backing support is stronger than ever. For the making of the album Paul turned to his fiercely dedicated fan base and, in total, raised over $100,000 in audience funding. Inspired by this outpouring of support, the entire team behind the album stepped up to make sure the end result would make the fans proud of participating.
Over the past two decades Paul has garnered numerous honors including 13 Boston Music Awards. He has also performed alongside countless acclaimed musicians, including Patty Griffin, John Mayer, Arlo Guthrie, Dar Williams and Jonatha Brooke. Of Paul, Woody Guthrie's daughter Nora praises, "A singer songwriter is only as good as the times he reflects. Wise, tender, brilliant and biting, Ellis is one of our best human compasses, marking in melodies and poems where we've been and where we might go if we so choose to. Personally Ellis, I'm goin "where you're goin'!"

Ellis Paul Bio
Ellis Paul is one of the leading voices of the American singer- songwriter world. He was a principle leader in the wave of singer/songwriters that emerged from the Boston folk scene, which helped revitalize the national acoustic circuit with an urban, literate, folk/pop style that helped renew interest in the genre in the 1990's. For years, he has been among the singer songwriter circuit's most popular and dependable headliners with fiercely loyal fans all over the globe.
Ellis' current studio album release, "The Day After Everything Changed" is completely fan funded. As an independent artist with his own label Black Wolf Records, Ellis raised over $100k in the middle of a deep recession. The result of this project is an excellent example and true testament to the relationship Ellis has built with his fans and the mutual respect they have for each other. This is Ellis' first studio album without a records label in 10 years.
Ellis' charismatic, personally authentic performance style, have influenced a generation of artists drawing from the appeal of pop blending with the authenticity of folk. Ellis is one of the most pop-friendly of today's singer-songwriters. He has bridged the gulf between the modern folk sound and the populist traditions of Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger more successfully than perhaps any of his songwriting peers.
Paul fell under the spell of Woody Guthrie, who wrote "This Land Is Your Land," "Pastures of Plenty," and a thousand other American anthems. By 1998, Paul was telling the Boston Globe that Woody, to him, was "ground zero, the prototype in a long line of people I'm a huge fan of." At the start of his career, he put a Woody Guthrie tattoo on his arm, solemnly telling people it was "a commitment."
In the beginning Ellis was creating a buzz in the open mic scene that would soon produce the most important generation of Boston folk stars since the early '60s, including Paul, Dar Williams, Vance Gilbert, Jonatha Brooke/ The Story, Martin Sexton, Patty Griffin, and Catie Curtis.
Almost immediately, Paul's infectious melodicism, literate lyrics, and honest performing style drew attention. As early as 1993, the Boston Globe was calling him a "songwriter's songwriter", adding that "no emerging songwriter in recent memory has been more highly touted and respected by songwriters."USA Today did a feature story on Ellis with the headline, "Best Bet for Stardom". He has had movie and TV placements inclusive of two major motion picture releases by the Farrelly Brothers with his songs; "The World Ain't Slow'n Down" as the title track from Jim Carrey's, "Me Myself and Irene", and "Sweet Mistakes" in "Shallow Hal" starring Jack Black. Paul's song "If You Break Down" was used in the final scene of the highly anticipated last episode of NBC's "Ed".
While his style was highly introspective at that time, it was also informed by a probing humanism shaped in part by an upbringing in northern Maine potato farming family and the five years he spent as a social worker in urban Boston. Every day, he struggled to help poor urban kids hovering dangerously on the edges of the criminal justice and welfare systems.
Recalling those days, Paul says, "It definitely gave me a whole new vision of what the world could be like. Picking up kids at the projects, breaking up fights, talking to parole officers and psychologists, getting to know this side of life I'd never been exposed to, really opened my mind up. From that, maybe I took sort of a wide-eyed view of the world around me, which seeped into my music."
His skyrocketing career is still the stuff of legend in Boston folk circles; how quickly he climbed from opening act for the likes of Shawn Colvin, and John Gorka, to national headliner and recording star. His 13 Boston Music Awards are second only to Aerosmith.
Nora Guthrie, Woody's daughter, invited Paul to to perform at a Woody Guthrie tribute show held in September 1996 at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. The show was part of a 10-day celebration to honor Woody and also included performances by Bruce Springsteen, Ani DiFranco, Billy Bragg and others. In 1998, the quintessential Boston songwriter was also made an honorary citizen of Guthrie's birthplace, Okemah, Oklahoma, in recognition of all he has done to revive interest in the Dust Bowl troubadour.
"A singer songwriter is only as good as the times he reflects. In times like these, when so many nuts are running the show, it's comforting to know that Ellis Paul is actually holding our sanity on his own stage! Wise, tender, brilliant and biting, Ellis is one of our best human compasses, marking in melodies and poems where we've been and where we might go if we so choose to. Personally Ellis, I'm goin' where you're goin'!"
- Nora Guthrie (Woody Guthrie's daughter)
An increasingly topical humanism informed his work. Like Guthrie a half-century before, Paul displayed a humble genius for putting the most divisive issues of his day into starkly personal and emotional terms.
"I feel like I'm more a part of a community now than just a songwriter singing about my own struggles and the struggles of the friends I see around me," Paul says of his career today.
It would be easy - perhaps even advisable - to become complacent after succeeding so remarkably at all the things he set out to do. But there is restlessness in Paul these days, a vibrant, glowing spirit of artistic adventure. Success to him is not a prize to clutch and protect, but an open door to a wider journey.
"There are differences between the me now, and the me I was in the early '90s," he says quietly. "I have a reliable fan base that keeps a roof over my head, for which I'm so thankful. And I think they're also willing and forgiving enough for me to go through any evolution I choose, as long as the core of what I do is honest, and that I continue to write songs and stories about the things I see around me.
"I need to keep feeling refreshed. I've been down the Ellis Paul rabbit-hole, you know, and now I'm looking around and trying to learn new things, experience other people's music and stories. I have no idea where I'm headed, but I think it'll make me a broader artist. "

Spiritual Questions & Answers (39)
Wisdom seekers all over the world constantly write to our email to ask Shunyamurti for guidance and words of hope and wisdom. Shunyamurti, out of pure compassion and service, is able to take time to respond to some of these questions. We at Sat Yoga believe that the content involved in these teachings is of immense value and will help many other seekers around the world to discover the wisdom that lies within our Heart and to live a life of purity and liberation.
Thank you for helping our world awaken and abide as the blissful Self.
The Tree of Knowledge and the Tree of Life
Shunyamurti: Symbols can help you practically to live your life at the highest level of sensitivity to the Will of God. Recall, for example, that the Cross on which Yeshua (the ego) is crucified is also the Bodhi Tree, meditating under which Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment/Buddhahood. In other words, the cause of your suffering becomes the cause of your liberation.
The Cross is also Holy Rood, the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden. This equivalence contains the same message: the ego must die for its sins, but it dies into eternal life and bliss.
To Whom Does the Ego Belong?
Questioner: It is not the ego per se. It is the identity in the ego. You say "*your* ego" in the comment; so to whom does the ego belong to?
Silence is the Most Potent Diksha
The Atman is Only Concerned with the Real, Not the Unreal
Questioner: [Referring to this video] What latent powers do you speak of? The siddhis that are written about are few in number. Thank you Master!
Where is the Soul in the Body?
Questioner: Where in the body is the soul located sir?

Eric Anderson, just nine months after Tommy John surgery, made his return to the mound at Memphis. |
Feb. 24, 2013
By Mizzou Correspondent Brandon Weiss
After the second series of the season, Mizzou is still searching for its first win of the 2013 campaign. The Tigers saw their largest lead of the season on Saturday, leading 3-0 at one point over Memphis. Highlights for Missouri were nonetheless easy to come by, as stud pitcher Eric Anderson returned from Tommy John, and Dylan Kelly caught fire at the plate.
Now on to week two of The Extra Nine:
1 - An Ace Returns
Just over nine months off Tommy John surgery, Anderson made his 2013 debut on the mound by registering the Sunday start for Mizzou. Anderson allowed a run in the first inning of the contest after allowing two doubles and a walk, but he finished his two innings of play with a workmanlike 19 strikes on 31 pitches, with one walk and one hit batsman. A Team USA and Cape Cod League pitcher in 2011, look for Anderson to shine as he regains his footing in live action this season. In 2011, Mizzou was 6-1 in games that he started, with its only loss in those seven games coming in the Big 12 Championship Game in which Anderson pitched on just three days rest.
2 - Graves Is Golden
Brett Graves shined opening weekend with a brilliant five-inning performance in which he allowed just one earned run and fanned five Southern Mississippi batters. He was impressive again this weekend, going 6.1 innings and notching five strikeouts again, but a seventh-inning in which he was tagged for three runs led to the right-handed hurler's first loss of the season. Graves has been very impressive this year with the bases empty, and he was dominant for most of his outing against Memphis as he retired the first 13 batters he faced, carrying a perfect game into the fifth inning.
3 - Steele Doesn't Fold
Keaton Steele has been more than solid at the plate this season for Mizzou. Most impressive is the fact that all of Steele's hits this season have come with runners in scoring position. Lauded by Mizzou baseball radio host Hunter Mense as a great situational hitter, Steele has not disappointed. He currently stands at 4-for-7 with runners in scoring position, and he leads the team with four RBI, tallying two RBI in each weekend of the season.
4 - Kelly On Fire
Arguably the best weekend performance for Mizzou went to catcher Dylan Kelly, who batted an unconscious .556 (5-for-9) at the dish against Memphis. Kelly, who went 3-for-3 in the series finale before being lifted for a pinch runner, also scored a run on the weekend. His impressive numbers didn't stop at batting average, as he flaunted an OPS of 1.156, a 2-for-2 performance at the plate with two strikes on Sunday, and a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage, including 15 putouts and five assists.
5 - Rash Steps Up
Freshman Alec Rash made his first appearance as a Tiger against Southern Mississippi, striking out the first batter he saw as a collegiate baseball player. He followed up his one shutout frame from last week with a dazzling Sunday performance this time around, throwing four innings without surrendering an earned run. Through his weekend workload, Rash struck out three and walked one, and he allowed just one hit to Memphis while holding opposing batters to just a .067 average after surrendering just one hit.
6 - Segovia Debuts
After sitting out the opening weekend while nursing a tweaked hamstring, shortstop Shane Segovia made his much-anticipated debut as a Missouri Tiger against Memphis. Segovia went 2-for-10 at the plate while seeing his first live action of the season, and he can claim a .929 fielding percentage with two putouts and 11 assists as he returns to Columbia.
7 - Late Game Losses
The 0-6 record on the season is not close to being indicative of the competitiveness of this Missouri squad, as the Tigers have either led or been tied in the seventh inning in four of the last five contests. Late game situations have been the "Achilles heel" of the Tigers thus far, as Mizzou's opponents have outscored the Tigers 28-5 after the fifth inning this season.
8 - Injury Update
With Anderson and Segovia returning to the lineup this weekend, the Mizzou injury list has decreased. Dillon Everett had surgery on Wednesday (Feb. 20), and his rehab was projected to last between 10 and 20 days. Gavin Stark hurt his knee in warm-ups before Sunday's game against Memphis, and he is listed as day-to-day as he undergoes further tests to diagnose his ailment.
9 - What's Next
The Tigers will play host to the Northwestern Wildcats next weekend, the first scheduled home series of the season for Missouri, although heavy snow is in the forecast early in the week in Columbia. Mizzou leads the all-time series against their Big Ten foes by a 3-2 score, although the Wildcats took the last meeting between the two teams 5-3 in 2003. This will be the first ever three-game set between the two squads. Of course, Dillon Everett's older brother, Colby, plays for Northwestern, giving the Everett brothers a unique chance to see their squads compete against one another at the collegiate level.
The last time the two teams met, in 2003, a pair of big leaguers squared off as starting pitchers in that game - Mizzou's Justin James and Northwestern's J.A. Happ. James most recently pitched with the Oakland Athletics while Happ was the 2009 Sporting News NL Rookie of the Year and won a World Series with the Phillies in 2008. He is currently with the Toronto Blue Jays.

January 21, 2008, 12:00 AM
By Tom Junod
It could have been said -- heck, it was said, in the next morning's news stories -- that the First Lady did not answer the question, that she somehow failed to respond. This is not precisely true. She responded, all right. She just responded like a First Lady -- like a wife -- rather than like a politician. She glazed over. She paused for a second, as though she had been interrupted by a plane buzzing overhead, and then she forced an expression of brisk, coffee-klatch cheerfulness upon her face. She has a sexy voice, a pliable and professional voice, clarion and piping, verging toward the range of alto, but now she tightened its timbre and, as though she were running not for the Senate but rather for junior-high class president, used it to express a wish for a neutered sort of popularity: "I'm looking forward," she said, "to meeting with New Yorkers.... They'll have a lot to tell me about what they think about me." It was a sad answer, a Sally Field-ish answer, but it was altogether more human than most writers and commentators gave her credit for -- more human, certainly, than the question itself, although it must be said that the question itself was entirely legitimate, even necessary. It's not as though her husband's affair with Miss Lewinsky is somehow tangential to Hillary's political fortunes, after all. No, it is absolutely central, because it is through the magic of sexual humiliation that she was somehow transformed from the woman the Republicans ran so successfully against in 1994 -- the woman who did her best to disappear in '95, '96, and '97 -- into the most admired woman in the country, the steadfast captain of what passes for "family values" in the Clinton White House.
For all the speculation concerning her reasons for running for the Senate -- for all the "Is it hunger for power or thirst for revenge?" psychodrama bruited about by political reporters -- one thing stands clear: She would not be running at all if it were not for Monica Lewinsky. In this country, Hillary Clinton could not be running for the Senate, or at least running with a realistic chance of winning, had she not been sufficiently humiliated, or chastened, or feminized, or desexualized, or, as some would have it, emasculated, to satisfy the public craving that this woman be put through some kind of trial. Are questions about Monica Lewinsky legitimate and necessary, then, because they will help us gather some kind of evidence, because they will help us know what transpired between the President and the First Lady in the calamitous and -- for her -- redemptive year of 1998? No: They are legitimate and necessary precisely because we will never know what happened between them, and she will never tell. She is the Mona Lisa of long-suffering wives, and unless we find a new way to read her -- unless we ask her questions that allow us to read her in a sexual light that doesn't belong to her husband -- we will find ourselves unable to read her at all.
The guy sitting behind me was tired. Over three days, we had traveled with Hillary from Pindars Corners to Oneonta, from Oneonta to Cooperstown, from Cooperstown to Utica, from Utica to Rome. At each stop, there was a bit of scheduled political theater called, with Orwellian flair, a "listening event"; at each stop, we had listened to -- and watched -- Hillary listen. Boy, could she listen. She was an indefatigable listener, insatiable. She listened first to panels of selected guests, then to general audiences, and it must be said that she was Clintonesque: No story was too trivial, no nugget of wonkery too arcane, no concern too parochial, for Hillary to make eye contact with the speaker, nod her head in a pattern of three short, two long, say, "That's very interesting," scribble some notes in a notepad, and then evince not only determined empathy but also a desire for more -- more stories, more wonkery, more parochial concerns. Neither the bus travel nor the listening was what exhausted the guy behind me, however; no, what tired him out was not knowing. He was a White House correspondent for Time magazine. He had been covering the Clintons for quite a while, and now, well, he was Hillaryfied. He was Clintonized.
He couldn't seem to get over his -- and everyone else's -- lack of clarity when it came to the Clintons, Hillary in particular. He explained how last year, while it was all happening -- when Hillary attacked the "right-wing conspiracy" in January and her husband admitted his deceit in August -- the editorial staff at Time was split into two schools of thought: one insisting that Hillary had known all along about Monica even as she was out defending her husband as victim of entrenched and implacable enemies; the other trusting that he had deceived her as he had deceived everyone else. The schism did not bother the correspondent, however, nearly as much as the fact that in support of its argument each side had amassed what seemed to be equally reliable bodies of evidence. "Each side had sources," he said, almost abjectly, still unable to accept that the truth of the matter seemed out of reach and that the split was not resolved by fact but rather reconciled by belief, as though Hillary were some kind of religious figure.
And there you have it, or them -- the two Hillarys. The one a good wife wronged; the other...the other almost unimaginable, not so much Machiavellian as Borgian, a monster of cynicism and cold compromise, bloodless and, yes, sexless, capable of just about anything her accusers can conjure. They are completely different women, yet not much separates them, really, except for some eight or nine months' worth of knowledge and the fact that one goes all the way and the other doesn't. That's what it all comes down to, doesn't it? The Bad Hillary is not only politically ruthless, she's sexually unavailable -- or, worse, sexually withholding. She is the Hillary who, along with Lady Macbeth, prays to be made less of a woman so she can muster what's necessary for a man's work; who, along with Lady M., begs the spirits to "unsex me here,/And fill me from the crown to the toe top-full/Of direst cruelty!... Come to my woman's breasts,/And take my milk for gall, you murdering ministers." She's the Hillary who, in the words of a lot of men I talked to in upstate New York, "made her deal" and now was getting "paid off" with this, her putative run for the Senate, and the possibility of power.
As for the other Hillary, Hillary the Good -- I think I might have seen her in New York, early on, maybe in Oneonta. She was listening. She was nodding. She was writing stuff in her notepad. The harsh television light softened in her eyes and bounced around like the bounding light on a swimming pool. I had assumed that I would have to choose blindly between the Good Hillary and the Bad -- that I wouldn't have enough to go on; that in the end my choice would boil down to a question of belief or, rather, some kind of existential decision, a flinging of oneself into the abyss where the truth once was. This is not quite how it happened. I had to make a choice, all right, but it came simply, a function of instinct and feel, when I thought I recognized a woman up there in the hot lights. She was not the saintly victim proposed by her adherents -- but then, the mistake of her adherents has always been to unsex her as eagerly as her enemies do, so that love of Hillary winds up wan and chaste and hatred of Hillary turns out dark and sexual and jealous and potent.
The Hillary I saw was not unsexed -- she was resexed, by the words in her own mouth. She was conducting one of her panel discussions. She was speaking, instead of listening, but nobody could hear her because of a problem with her microphone. At least, the television men couldn't hear her, and they made themselves known. They had primacy, so they started yelling at her. Finally, someone on her staff scooted up and adjusted the microphone on the lapel of her flowy blue pantsuit. "Is that okay?" Hillary said. It was okay -- her voice was now amplified into its deep clarion call. "Well," she said as she crossed and recrossed her legs, "I've been waiting for someone to turn me on." Her timing was perfect, and she got a big laugh, because suddenly the First Lady was...saucy.

Paul, I think you have confirmed for me that I have Blue Cadet....bought it years ago labeled Hadspen Blue, and I knew it was not that. But it just kept growing, and I wondered if it could possibly be that "small" blue cadet? I think it must be close to 3' across this year. Funny about those descriptions, right?? I'm pretty sure I have Blue Cadet, and I'll take a pic tomorrow. I love the dense clump form and it is one of the least attractive to slugs, for whatever reason. |

Boy that does look similar. I just assumed mine was Blue Cadet because it seems that is a common variety to pick up at local nurseries. Mine does bloom profusely and is blooming now, so I will take a pic tomorrow and compare it with yours. I imagine it will not be possible to get a conclusive id, though. |

Love my BC too. Here's a very recent pic... Paul, your BC border is simply beautiful...you've inspired me to do something similar in my tight quarters here..on a smaller scale. .I'll work on that idea. Just how much land DO you have? It seems like it just goes on, and on...a veritable hosta paradise. |

My newly acquired Hadspen Blue...the leaves are rounder than yours, Don. Are they the same plant or is this one of those "juvie" things again? |
- Posted by josephines67 none (My Page) on Mon, Jul 22, 13 at 1:15
Don, a couple of the leaves on yours have this wavy look that reminds me of a the way a young Sagae looks.....I looked again at your pic because I really like that blue/green hue...are you sure that's a HB? I wouldn't normally second guess you as I'm hardly familiar with I.d.s but its easier when I actually have a plant that we are talking about. I know virtually nothing about Hadspen Blue...perhaps I may have a mislabelled one... Paul ... I have said this before so please indulge me one more time...I am blown away by your hosta collection and am envious of your growing environment. Your hostas are so healthy looking, so beautiful. It's inspiring to say the least. The 'staging' , it literally takes my breath away. The colour placement is amazing. It's obvious your plants get the best of care and its obvious you have a love for them. It's such a pleasure viewing your pictures and the comments you provide are always informative. |

Jo, I think it is a 'Hadspen Blue'. That's the most recent pic I have; it's a bit outdated, it was taken in May I believe. If I have any time later today, I'll snap a current pic. The leaves have flattened and rounded out, more true-to-form (more like yours). : ) It's a nice mound that's topping off the pot nicely. Don B. |
Here is what I am calling Blue Cadet in my garden from this morning. Measures at about 36" across at the widest point. I think it comes off as "small" because of the small leaves and low height? An illusion! |

Josephine, thank you for all the nice comments. I'm fortunate to have a DW that enjoys the gardens and encourages my efforts. Our lot is about 3/8 of an acre - most of the garden areas were wooded areas that I've cleaned out the scrub and reclaimed, though lawn areas have shrunk a bit as well. coll_123, looks like Blue Cadet. Right habit in leaves and scapes. Paul |

A program to prevent theft and burglary by the identification of valuables and notify potential thieves that this action has been taken and the property can be positively identified.
You are given a Permanent Identification Number (PIN) when you register with MSU Security. Simply engrave your Operation ID number onto articles of value that could be easily stolen. Be sure to engrave the entire number onto each object - without it, it would be impossible to trace your property. As you mark each item, list it on an inventory form.
The Security Department has chosen to assign a PIN, rather than the driver's license or Social Security number because this system makes your valuables identifiable anywhere, at any time, in the United States through the State and National Crime Computer System. If you move or change your name after you have received your PIN, call the Security Department at 389-2111 to report the change of information.
The use of the engraver is basic to the marking system. It tells the person that the item was marked by the owner or possessor of the property and is part of an official police identification number. Be careful not to engrave the number onto an easily removable part of the object such as the case or cover.
If you want to sell items marked with your Operation ID number, simply engrave a single line through the number and put your initials and the date of sale next to the number. As an added precaution, the seller should write a bill of sale. The person buying marked property should either obtain a PIN of their own, or if they already have one, mark the property with their number under the original owners number. Example:
First Owner: MN02721RK0001 (9-93)
Second Owner: MN02721LC005 (1-95)
Third Owner: MN0070100MK20345

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is CODY!
Facts about CODY
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) Mix
- Color: Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
CODY's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Meet CODY....an adorable terrier mix puppy. Cody was rescued from high kill Moreno Valley shelter just minutes to spare. He is approximately 10 weeks old (as of 5/5/13). Cody currently weighs about 6 lbs.
Cody's foster mom says Cody is a sweet playful boy. He loves to bring all of his toys onto the sofa and lay down next to them. He is good with other dogs and with children. He is crate trained and learning to sit. He is a very good listener for such a young boy.
We require an application, home check, contract, and adoption donation. Cody 's adoption donation is $300.00
To meet Cody, please go to our website, www.BFFK9Rescue.org to the adopt page to learn more about our adoption process, policies and to download or complete an online application. Please complete online application (make sure you answer all questions and get sent confirmation on screen) or email to email@example.com.
We make every effort to contact you ASAP. Emails will get quickest response.
Applications are not first come, they are based on best fit for the household and our BFF pup.
Other Pets at BFF K9 Rescue, Inc.
Why Adoption is a Great Option
CODY, a Mission Viejo Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) for sale in Mission Viejo, or seeking a Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) puppy from a breeder in Mission Viejo.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Mission Viejo already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Mission Viejo breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) breeders who help with Terrier (Unknown Type, Small) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Mission Viejo paves the way for another one to be saved.

23 February 2008
A Cardiff academic has welcomed recent suggestions from medical and policing organisations to help tackle alcohol misuse.
Professor Jonathan Shepherd, Professor of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the School of Dentistry, was reacting to recommendations from bodies such as the British Medical Association (BMA).
In a new report (Alcohol Misuse: Tackling the UK epidemic) the BMA recommends, amongst other initiatives, that higher taxes should be levied on alcoholic drinks to help control alcohol misuse.
Professor Shepherd and his team have researched the effects of drink on violence and his pioneering work won him the 2008 Stockholm Prize in Criminology.
In 2006, his paper 'Violence-related injury and the price of beer in England and Wales' was published in the journal Applied Economics. This study found evidence that low alcohol prices increased the risk of injury and violence in England and Wales. The findings also strongly suggested that a one percent increase in the real price of alcohol would lead to an economy-wide reduction in the number of Emergency Department assault cases by 5000 annually.
Professor Shepherd said: "There needs to be much more effort put into reducing alcohol misuse in order to reduce injury. In practical terms raising alcohol prices will have a beneficial effect in reducing violence-related harm and injury throughout England and Wales."
Previous work by Professor Shepherd and his team discovered links between teenage drinking and aggression, as well as identifying drinkers as more at risk of violence because of reduced physical co-ordination, poor decision-making in threatening situations and isolation while out late at night.
This work has helped develop strategies for preventing serious injuries in nightclub and bar violence. Professor Shepherd conducted the first field research comparing the effects of toughened glasses used in fights compared to those of glass which becomes sharp-edged. His work led many UK pubs to switch to toughened glass in the late 1990s, leading to a fall in injuries and more recently a switch to plastic bottles and glasses.
Professor Shepherd convened the Cardiff Violence Prevention Group - a prototype for the Crime Reduction Partnerships now established throughout the UK. He is also director of Cardiff University's Violence and Society Research Group.

The RCMP announced Friday that Csilla Yit, who officers arrested two days earlier, was remanded in custody for the weekend.
"Human trafficking is a modern-day form of slavery," Staff-Sgt. Ash Lambert said in a statement.
Yit, 39, of Hamilton, Ont., was charged with five Criminal Code offences, including human trafficking, theft over $5,000 and destroying documents, plus four counts, under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, of employing foreign nationals.
The RCMP said they identified three alleged victims after officers launched an investigation in response to a complaint received in July that claimed someone was engaged in human trafficking.
They also accused Yit of not paying four Hungarians to work in her restaurant, despite a promise of employment and "good wages" if they came to Canada.
Investigators claim the foursome was forced to live "in unsuitable accommodations without adequate food supplies, and live in fear from threats of arrest and deportation should they not comply."
Further details about the rescued Hungarians, the duties they performed in exchange for skimpy room and board or about the three alleged human trafficking victims was not revealed.
The name of Yit's restaurant was not disclosed.
She is scheduled to be in court Monday for a bail hearing.

Whenever a customer at Payless Airport Parking calls for a shuttle, it's guaranteed that the company's sleek, silver van will arrive to pick them up within 10 minutes. The parking service shuttles its customers to and from Philadelphia International Airport and ensures this prompt arrival whether the customer is waiting at the garage counter or just woke up from a power nap on the baggage-claim carousel. While their owners are away, cars are kept locked in a secure, gated area. During this time, staff technicians can keep each vehicle in top condition with hand washes, oil changes, and tire rotations. To aid those who have arrived in Philadelphia but haven't brought a car, Payless Airport Parking also operates a rental service. The service oversees eight vehicle makes and models, each of which are primed for pickup with a hand wash.
WallyPark removes one of the hassles of flying with secured self-serve and valet parking facilities in close proximity to major airports across the U.S. Though amenities vary by location, most include express check-in and checkout service, with WallyClub members also earning points toward free parking. WallyPark facilities ease the stress of airport commutes with complimentary newspapers, coffee, and a shuttle service that departs every 5?10 minutes 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Complimentary luggage assistance at some locations helps customers haul prized dirt collections to and from vehicles.
Super Trans's spacious shuttles depart from Philadelphia up to five times a day as they escort travelers to either Newark or JFK airports. Customers in Philadelphia and some nearby suburbs can arrange for door-to-door pickup, and others can choose their boarding locations from a list of pickup points, such as the Hampton Inn Newtown, the Philadelphia Airport, and the landing strip atop City Hall. The 2.5- to 3-hour ride departs at regular intervals throughout the day, giving travelers the stress-free freedom to arrive to the airport with enough time to check in, browse the gift shops, or get lost in the hypnotic swirl of the baggage claim upon return. Every shuttle makes an average of two to four stops. Customers can see the shuttle schedule here.
Black Diamond Transportation's impeccably professional chauffeurs ferry passengers safely to their destinations in luxury and comfort. Lustrous black sedans carry travelers to the airport, haul revelers safely from bar to bar during nights on the town, or carry newly made prom kings to their lavish coronations. For some larger groups, such as those heading to corporate events, weddings, and bachelor/bachelorette parties, the staff arranges special package prices with advance notice.
A satellite branch of Premier Luxury Rentals, PLR AutoSpa tends to jalopies inside and out. Performing a host of services—from express detailing to deep cleaning—the spa's technicians pamper vehicles in preparation for a night out, or clean them up following a night out's transformation from pumpkin carriage back into car.
Today's side deal gets you and a frightened friend a pair of tickets to the Spirits of '76 Ghost Tour for $17. Tickets are normally $17.50 for adults, so today's two-for-less-than-one deal is the perfect chance to scare your straight-laced sister or give your fearless insurance agent a fright. As you slither through the streets, trembling at stories of the dead who won't stay dead, wave your free glow-stick souvenir to ward off the bushes, branches, and wrought-iron fences that seem to become claws and faces in the shadowy night.

Get to Know Our Graduates
Our Graduates come from diverse backgrounds and are placed in many areas across Finance. The testimonials below from our 2011 Graduates will give you an idea on the type of work you could be involved in.
NDIS and Aged Care Team, Budget Group.
I work in the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) and Aged Care Team in the Social Policy Division of Budget Group. Working on the Federal Budget has helped me to understand the way the Government makes expenditure decisions, and working on the NDIS has given me a chance to be involved with the implementation of one of Australia's biggest social reforms.
Finance is a great place to work, the pay and conditions are very good and the Graduate Program provides a great way to join the Public Service. Finance also has various networks that you can get involved with. I'm a member of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Staff Network, we help the Department organise events and act as a peer support network for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff members.
Agriculture and Industry Branch, Budget Group
I work in the Industry, Education and Infrastructure Agency Advice Unit (AAU). Working in an AAU has exposed me to a wide range of interesting policy issues. I've worked on everything from the formation of the carbon price package to Australia's bid to host a vast network of radio telescopes. One of the really cool things about working in an AAU is that you often see the things that you are working on in the news.
Communications and Coordination Branch, Chief Operating Officer Group
I work in the Communications and Public Affairs team and have enjoyed the exposure I have had across Finance - working on a range of communications strategies, media enquiries and events for different business groups. Working at Finance, a central agency, has also given me a unique whole-of-government perspective which has been valuable, especially at this early stage of my career in the Australian Public Service.
Finance is a great place to work and being a Graduate here is a privileged position where people at all levels give generously of their time and are more than willing to answer questions. The learning and development program has equipped me with the skills I have needed throughout the year. I have been challenged and encouraged by colleagues, managers and my mentor. I'm glad I chose to join the Finance Graduate program and am already looking forward to new opportunities within the department.
Did you know? Finance developed and manages australia.gov.au - a gateway of information and services gathered from over 900 Australia Government websites as well as state and territory resources. |
People Branch, Chief Operating Officer Group
Coming from Perth, Canberra seemed so small and so far away. The thought of moving here was terrifying. But with the help of the Graduate coordinators, relocation was a breeze. My car and furniture were brought over which helped me settle in quickly and I was soon exploring all that Canberra had to offer. It's actually not that much different to home.
ICT Procurement Branch, Business, Procurement and Asset Management Group
In my role in the Data Centre Procurement team I have drafted Ministerial and departmental briefs, drafted correspondence to external stakeholders, created service catalogues for data centres and provided advice to agencies in relation to the Data Centre Strategy. As part of the team, I have organised workshops around Australia with other agencies, conducted research for the project and drafted internal and external correspondence.

The Atlanta Falcons have registered three winning seasons since making Matt Ryan their franchise quarterback in 2008, and yet the team is still awaiting its first playoff victory of the Ryan era.
They were supposed to get that monkey off their back in 2010. They beat the defending champion Saints on the road, dominated everyone at home, and finished the fifth-most points scored, the fifth-least points allowed, the third-best turnover differential and the second-best record in football.
But then they were crushed 48-21 by the Packers in the NFC playoffs. It was a shocking home defeat considering that the Falcons had only lost four games at the Georgia Dome since Ryan began his career in '08.
Two problems the Falcons had in that demoralizing loss: 1) they had just two plays that went for more than 12 yards, and 2) they weren't able to get enough pressure to slow down Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense.
They've addressed both issues in the offseason. Top pick Julio Jones should add explosiveness and open up the offense, while free agent acquisition Ray Edwards should help bolster the pass rush and lighten the load on the secondary.
On paper, one of the best teams of the 2010 regular season is significantly better in 2011.
2010 in a nutshell: They lose only one regular-season game after Week 6, edge the defending champion Saints to win the NFC South and grab the top spot in the conference. But then they run into the Packers in the divisional playoffs and their season is pretty much over by halftime.
Three predictions for 2011:
1. The offense will make more big plays: Only Carolina had fewer completions of 20 yards or more in 2010, but Jones will open things up for Ryan and provide a distraction for opposing defenses, easing things up on Roddy White and Harry Douglas. Michael Turner rushed for 1,300 yards despite being ailed by a groin injury last year, but he's healthy in 2011 and will be supported by flashy rookie Jacquizz Rodgers. The only semi-significant loss on offense is right guard Harvey Dahl, who left as a free agent. But the team re-signed fellow o-linemen Tyson Clabo and Justin Blalock and it looks as though they feel Garrett Reynolds can do a fine job replacing Dahl. There's really no reason to believe the offense won't take a step forward this year.
2. The defense will be much better: They were 22nd against the pass last year, but that had a lot to do with the pass rush. The Falcons mustered only 31 sacks, and 13 of them came from the aging John Abraham. Edwards will free up Abraham while adding double-digit sack numbers himself. If youngsters Peria Jerry and Sean Weatherspoon can show signs of improvement, the pass rush will be significantly more effective this season. The secondary is already stellar with Pro Bowl-caliber corners Dunta Robinson and Brent Grimes and heavy hitter William Moore. They'll benefit greatly from a fiercer front seven.
3. They'll finally win a playoff game: Maybe even two! Ryan is entering his prime and he's finally about to receive the support necessary for a Super Bowl run. The pieces are in place.
The final word(s): They've become the best team in the NFC South. Atlanta should win 12 games and capture the division crown once again. They'll be jockeying with Green Bay and Philly for a spot in the Super Bowl.

If I knew then what I know now, he absolutely would have done my kitchen (although I am still happy having worked with my KD bc I had no clue when I started planning the kitchen. I used Jeff Kennedy who works out of The Sawhorse in Millburn. I just would have preferred cabinets by Rich instead of the Kountry Kraft I bought.) We bought our Danby marble from Dente Trading in Cedar Grove http://www.dentetrading.com/about_dente.html I would not recommend our fabricator. We also sourced some beautiful tile (natural stone as well as high quality porcelain) through Stone Source in Carlstadt http://www.stonesource.com They have a nice showroom with gorgeous, very unique stone and tile. They have a lot of product in stock and can show you slabs, etc. They aren't just a showroom. In fact, if you like the look of a stone called Lagos Azul, they have a porcelain tile that looks exactly like it for much less cost and WAY less maintenance! (Their Stontech/1.0 in the color Stongrey 6.0. It's what I used for the floor in my mudroom as well as sheets of 2x2 tiles for the shower floor in my guest bath as well as the dog shower in our garage.) Another excellent showroom for tile ideas is Artistic Tile in NYC. We bought all the various sizes of Carrera Gold marble tile for our MaBa from them. We worked with Rachel Myerson, who was great. You should visit their one afternoon - it can be a good time, since they always have out pretty decent wine and cheese for their clients' pleasure! Rachel Myerson Last, if you are in the market for new appliances, I recommend you go to Karl's in Orange (very close to W.Orange - take a right off Mt. Pleasant and it is about 110 yards on your left off Main St. - not at all scary.) They will play the pricing game and no matter what you tell them, they won't give you the best price first. But, they will try to beat anyone else's price to get your business. Sort of slimy, but they have a good showroom and they have the 3.5 sales tax due to the depressed area. I bought all my household appliances from Paul's Appliances in Newark. Very nice guy named Dominick who has been there forever and isn't going anywhere. Same tax break at Karl's, much smaller place, but much to see on their second floor, and a bit scarier to drive to alone, but not horrible. Excellent customer service (they took delivery of my appliances WEEKS before my GC was ready to accept them at no charge and other things I don't want to post online.) Their price was the LOWEST 1st quote I got from anyone else, often including online retailers! His first quote is his final quote, no games. However, I think Karl's would have tried to beat the prices, but the sliminess turned me off. If money is the key driver, I'd get a quote from Dom and get Karl's to beat it. If you want a retailer who will stand behind the sale - just a more pleasant experience overall, I think you can't beat Paul's in this business. Let me know if you need other info - I'm happy to "give back" to GW'ers, especially someone local to me! Good luck to you! NOTES: <none>

posted by: paulines on 09.04.2008 at 07:00 am in Kitchens Forum Sayde, how are you making out?
I realized I never properly answered your questions. The quote you received from CP does seem consistent with what I've been seeing & hearing, it's hard to be more specific w/o seeing exactly what's included and not included. If you decide on a painted finish, check out Cabico cabinetry. They offer a matte finish (either paint or stain), a nice choice of substrates, including hard maple and utilize Blum hardware. You could do a modified inset as I'm not sure they offer true insets - Cabico's cost would be significantly less than CP and I feel they are a good value. If you do decide on a stained finish, Medallion's is beautiful, soft and perfect for a bungalow. Again, not sure about insets, but a modified one gives you the look and feel @ about 1/2 the price. Frees up some of the budget for other details that will contribute to the look & feel of the space you are seeking. Hope this helps. NOTES: <none>

posted by: paulines on 08.14.2008 at 06:30 am in Kitchens Forum I'm a freelance KD. I do not sell cabinetry, but make material recommendations to clients based on their budget and needs.
There is very little difference between Omega and Dynasty. The exterior finish is one and the same and you CAN customize the Dynasty. For examples, it's less expensive to order a reduced depth Dynasty, than a 18"D Omega or order a Dynasty piece with a finished interior, if necessary. Woodmode, Rutt & QCC are heads & tails over Omega - their construction details and finish is much, much better. Plain & Fancy, Crystal and Candlelight are fabulous upper mid level cabinets. For mid range, Cabico is a great value (frameless, too), as are Medallion (the best finish for a mid range imo) and Dynasty (I recommend lumberyards where pricing is very competative). Just a note, you make encounter the DynastyI line - they provide a inset panel as opposed to a reversed raised door on shaker style doors and are a more budget friendly line. NOTES: <none>

RE: Under cab lights -- are they essential? (Follow-Up #26)
posted by: mamadadapaige on 06.26.2009 at 10:17 am in Kitchens Forum I went from a very dimly poorly lit kitchen prior to renovating to a well lit kitchen with recessed cans where they should be, undercabinet lighting and really nice strong light on the ventilation hood. It has made an enormous difference - not only is it a brighter and cheerier place to be, it reals helps functionally as well. I would highly recommend the Kichler linear lighting (also made by Seagull) that I went with for under the cabinets.
I took a kitchen lighting class and we had a field trip to Osram Sylvania to their lighting lab... there is so much more to lighting than I could have imagined and I just got lucky that my electrician was so good and knew how much and where my lighting should go. There are SO many expenses when doing a kitchen, but I personally wouldn't skimp on the lighting. NOTES: <none>

anybody use a penetrating finish on wood floors in kitchen?
posted by: fern4 on 06.12.2009 at 09:03 pm in Kitchens Forum As I understand it, the universe of floor finishes divides into surface and penetrating. The penetrating finishes are basically oil and wax mixtures which makes them repairable. But then they are also do not last very long. They also look beautiful because they soak in.
I'm considering something called "OSMO Polyx-Oil" which one seller says "is far more durable. Tests in Germany, where it is manufactured, showed it to be just as tough as polyurethane. Yet it is very definitely a repairable floor finish-with the added benefits of being natural, low-toxic and pleasant to use." I'd love to know if anybody has used any penetrating finishes on their kitchen floors and specifically this one! NOTES: <none>

I don't know what your budget is -- but Brooks custom cabs in Union came up with $28,000 ballpark for slab front cherry cabinets; Adelphi totally custom cabinets with every bell and whistle were $18,000. I priced semi-customs, far from top of the line cabinets at another place and they were, without bells and whistles, somewhere around 24,000.
My KD (who does not sell cabinets) told me that I should price custom; that they would not be more - and would sometimes be less --- than semi-custom. She was right! As a matter of fact, I went in to price Kraftmaid and by the time I upgraded to what I wanted, they would have been way more expensive than the custom cabinets I ended up with.

RE: Marble cost versus granite? (Follow-Up #6)
posted by: erikanh on 05.25.2009 at 12:49 pm in Kitchens Forum My honed Carrara was $50/sq ft. There were small additional charges for an upgraded Dupont edge and sink cutout. The polished Calacatta Manhattan I used on my backsplash was $90/sq ft.
I'm not sure where in New England you are, but I highly recommend Famar in Medford, MA. They are a wholesaler of marble only, no granite. They also fabricate/install but you can use your own fabricator, which is what I did. From what I saw, their marble is all of very high quality. The owner comes from the town of Carrara, and he travels to Italy several times a year to select and purchase stone directly from the quarries. He was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Unlike many of the people at other stoneyards I visited, he spent a lot of time with me pulling out numerous slabs for me to view and making suggestions.

RE: What goes where? (Follow-Up #2)
posted by: buehl on 06.01.2009 at 09:47 am in Kitchens Forum Our trash pullout is next to our sink, on the opposite side from the DW. However, now that I've been working in the kitchen for almost a year, I realize that it's not the best location. If you only have one trash pullout, I've come to realize that the best location is in the prep area. I spend a lot more time prepping and use the trash on & off much more than at the sink...especially since we have a GD.
Ideally, I think a kitchen should either have a trash pullout next to both the sink & prep space or one in each. If you cannot have the ideal, then having it in the prep zone is much more useful in the long run. Cleanup usually happens only once or twice a day for relatively short times...prepping is several times and for much longer periods and, like I mentioned earlier, produces much more trash than cleanup! (Remember the statistics of 70% of your time is spent prepping, 20% cleaning up, and 10% cooking...so it makes sense that if you spend 70% of your time prepping, the prep zone would be a better location.) My biggest regret in my kitchen is the trash pullout location!

RE: Already blew my cabinet budget, WWYD? (Follow-Up #19)
posted by: buehl on 03.29.2009 at 01:51 am in Kitchens Forum We had the same problem w/our cabinets....so, where did we cut costs?
First, I changed my door style...I went from the most expensive to one of the least expensive. BUT, the drawer fronts & door frames were identical in both styles so I was OK with the change (not thrilled, but OK). Most of my cabinets are drawers anyway, so I got the basic look I wanted. [The main difference b/w the door styles was the center panel...the expensive one had a raised center panel, the less expensive had a flat center panel...but the frames were the same in both styles.] Next, we eliminated the BS for now. Then, we eliminated the majority of decorative door end panels. The only ones we kept were on the back of the mini-peninsula b/c one of the cabinets was facing there w/doors & a plain panel on the back of the other cabinet would look funny, if not ridiculous. (Our Pet Center cabinet was turned 90o so it open from the back of the peninsula.) We also eliminated furniture base, eliminated the Bread Box insert (saved >$300!), and did NOT get our glass for the glass doors & shelves from the cabinet company. We also switched to a stock cabinet for our PR instead of the semi-custom we originally planned on. There were a couple of other things here & there. In the end, we brought our cabinet + BS price down by well over $5,000 (overall we cut out over $7,000...but that included non-cabinet & non-BS reductions as well.) To decide what you can do to cut costs, I recommend asking yourself the following questions: (1) What is not that important to me and doesn't add functionality? [Candidate for elimination altogether] (2) What can I do at a later date? [Candidate for deferring until a later date] (3) What can't be done at a later date and I can't live without?

Mother Nature caused cancellations of some Thursday night sporting contests but as the sun comes out today, everything should be in full swing for this evening and the weekend.
With a pair of big wrestling matches postponed last night, one will be contested this evening while the other was moved to the middle of next week.
Defending state champion and top-ranked Soddy-Daisy will be at Jim Smiddy Arena tonight for a key Region 4 showdown with fifth-ranked Bradley Central, with the varsity action under the spotlight at 7 p.m.
The county rivalry match between second-ranked Cleveland and No. 8 Walker Valley has been reset for Wednesday at "The Stable." Both matches will determine the seeding for the Region 4 Duals, which will be held on Thursday at the Raider Dome.
Despite school cancellations today in Cleveland, Bradley and Polk counties, with the weather supposed to warm up today, all area basketball games are still slated to be played tonight.
Walker Valley is set to host McMinn County in a District 5-AAA matchup, while the Bradley teams will travel to Soddy-Daisy to do the same.
Cleveland is making the short trip to Ooltewah for the East Hamilton Classic to face Central Park out of Birmingham, Ala. The Blue Raiders will play first with a 5 p.m. tipoff while the Lady Raiders will take the court at 6:30 p.m.
The Polk County hoops squads will entertain Meigs County in a key District 5-AA doubleheader this evening.
On Saturday, the Bradley Central girls will head south of Atlanta to Fayetteville, Ga., to participate in the Starr's Mills Girls' Night Out. Tipoff is set for 6:30 p.m.
The Bearettes are 17-1 on the season and moved up to the No. 4 spot in this week's Associated Press state Class AAA poll. They will be taking on the Wesleyan School from Peachtree Corners, Ga. Wesleyan has won nine of the last 11 Georgia Class AA state championships, including the last five straight.
"They (Wesleyan) have five girls who have already signed college scholarships, including one that is going to Auburn," explained Bradley coach Jason Reuter. "They will be a strong test for us."
The Bearettes have already defeated two-time defending state champs Girls Prep School earlier this season as well as former Georgia state titlist Fayette County and defending South Carolina state runner-up Dorman. Bradley's lone defeat came to reigning North Carolina state champ Millbrook in the title game at the Upward Classic in Spartanburg, S.C., just after Christmas.
Both local collegiate programs will be on their home courts Saturday as well.
Nationally ranked Lee University will play host to Brewton Parker in a Southern States Athletic Conference twin bill at Walker Arena, beginning at 2 p.m.

With an offense that averages 29 points per game, it's easy for the defense to get overlooked.
Until you need them.
So, while Liberty (11-0) nearly matched it's season average, the offense can thank the defense for the 24-7 win against No. 11 seed Scottsdale Coronado (7-4) Friday in the 4A-II State Championships quarterfinals.
"(The defense) prepared all week and the scout team did a great job getting us ready," said senior linebacker Todd Sechest. "And we really stepped it up in the second half."
The Dons offensive line opened enough gaps in the first half to spring their leading tailback Shawn Martin. In the second half, Martin collected just 39 yards, with nearly half coming on one run, a 17-yard gain late in the fourth.
"The defense was well prepared this week," said Liberty Head Coach Dan Filleman. "The coaches put together a great plan and the players executed well tonight. That's what you need in the playoffs."
It was work in the first half that set the tone for the Lions.
Lions senior Keegan Whipkey had a pass batted at the line and intercepted deep in Liberty territory in the first quarter to give Coronado an early boost.
Martin then broke a 13-yard run to the Lions' 23. That's all he'd get from the Liberty defense as Coronado gained just 6 yards over the drive's final six plays, including another 13-yard Martin dash. The Dons attempted a 33-yard field goal but it went wide left.
Liberty answered Coronado's try with its own 28-yard field goal with less than a minute to go in the quarter.
On the next drive, a Dons punt put the ball at midfield for the Lions who put together an 8-play 53-yard drive, capped by quarterback Andre Gattie's 2-yard touchdown. The drive was kept alive on second-and-18, when Gattie pitched the ball to running back Dan Mihelich who fired a 36-yard pass to junior wide out Brandon Croteau.
Martin got Coronado on the board with a 36-yard touchdown and looked poised to pin the Lions deep in their own zone a series later with a punt. However, the snap sailed over punter Troy Shancez's head and rolled to the Dons' 7-yard line. Two Mihelich runs later and Liberty was up 17-7 with a half to play.
"That was a big difference maker," Filleman said. "That put us up by 10 and gave us plenty of momentum heading into halftime."
Coronado had a pair of chances in the second half to climb back into the game, but again the Liberty defense kept things from getting interesting.
On first-and-10, Buya hit senior Colton Anderson for a 19-yard gain, but senior linebacker Kyle Benedict stripped the ball away, putting the Lions on their own 29.
With Mihelich on the sidelines without pads and his ankle taped with ice, Liberty mounted an 11-play drive to the Dons' 16 before Gattie fumbled on successive snaps and Coronado recovered the second loose ball. But on the next play Liberty's Geordan Key picked off Buya to get the ball back to the Lions' offense.
"Geordan stepped up on both sides of the ball tonight," Sechest said. "We needed to get the ball back and that's what he did for us."
Liberty added to its lead in the fourth when Whipkey hit Key over the middle. The junior wide out, spun away from the safety and slipped another tackle at midfield before racing to the end zone for a 90-yard touchdown.
"(Coronado) is a tough football team," Filleman said. "You can't discount them because they'll come out and hit you. Look at their starting quarterback, he comes out and plays a good D-end, too. They are tough kids across the board."

#MLK: Today's Tackiest Social Media Brand Fails
We all know it's incredibly crass to use a national day of mourning to promote your brand. But still, every year on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Pearl Harbor Day and Sept. 11, companies do it anyway.
We understand the temptation. If your tweet includes the #MLK hashtag, chances are it's going to be seen and even retweeted many more times than a regular missive promoting toilet paper or Oreos. Read More
