Dear Carden family,
My sincere condolences. It is hard enough to try to put into words the emotions you are dealing with right now. Unfortunately not too many words from friends and family can bring you a measure of relief. The source of comfort can only come from knowing the truth about our Creator. Know that Death was not his original purpose for us, which He calls Death an enemy that He will do away with-1 Corinthians 15:26. For the mean time "He heals the brokenhearted; He binds up their wounds."(Psalms 147:3). So trust in him so that he can provide you the comfort that you need. Again, my sincere condolences.

Type Armond Armstead's name into YouTube, and you'll stumble upon a six-minute clip that highlights the talent of the 22-year-old defensive lineman. As expected, there are plays of hell-raising, and backfield penetration throughout the video. It's supposed to be that way — it's a highlight film after all — and then once you watch a full-length game of his, you're supposed to come away somewhat disappointed.
Except you don't.
The plays in the video frequently appear when watching full-length games. He's an impressive player, displaying a non-stop engine and various other traits that D-line coaches look for in their players. Power, quickness, athleticism, and versatility are some of those traits, all of which appeal to the schematically diverse New England Patriots, the team that worked him out leading up to the 2012 draft and then again this offseason prior to signing him.
Armstead's traits also appealed to those who covered the Canadian Football League this past season. Andrew Bucholtz, editor of Yahoo!'s CFL blog 55-Yard Line, told me that Armstead was a "dominant force" who has "power and gap control." Toronto Argonauts Player Personnel Assistant Chris Rosetti's first three words about Armstead were "He's a stud."
Rosetti later raved about Armstead's versatility, which the lineman has plenty of. He played various positions across the line, ranging from zero technique nose tackle to standup outside linebacker. One play that stood out at linebacker came against Montreal in Week 5.
The Argos were in their exotic one lineman package, with Armstead lined up at left outside linebacker. He was leaning over with his weight pressing on his right foot, in position to explode off the line and deconstruct every pass blocking fundamental the Alouettes right tackle had previously learned.
At the snap, he burst forward and sunk his pads prior to engaging the right tackle. Upon contact, the blocker popped back because of Armstead's heavy hands, and he immediately started to lose his balance. His legs split wider and his hips changed direction as if he was a novice on a skating rink.
Armstead wouldn't let up. He dipped his pads further down, bent his knees, and powered through his lower body. He lifted the blocker off the ground and knocked him backward. A full-slide by the Alouettes offensive line aided the right tackle, however, as the right guard bumped Armstead to cease the rush.
The rush was slowed, but it was impressive nonetheless.
Armstead is unlikely to spend much time at linebacker for the Patriots despite his athleticism and agility, though. He's likely to serve as a one or three technique defensive tackle in a four-man front, and perhaps a five technique in a three-man front because of his 6-foot-5, 298-pound frame. That's what Rosetti thinks Armstead can play, as does Bucholtz.
"I see him mostly as an NFL defensive end, but one who's more of a power rusher/run-stopper than a pure speed guy, and one who could rotate inside in certain packages," Bucholtz said. "I think Armstead will work out well for the Patriots, but a lot depends on how well he can adjust to the different game and the different roles they'll want him to play."
Whichever technique Armstead does play, there will be a lot of coaching to take in. He's still raw as a pass-rusher despite what some of the impressive videos show; he sometimes fails to bend his knees, and he can play with tall pad level as a result. And there's always improvement to be made with hand usage, which is mandatory for success in the NFL.
But with Armstead's physical skill-set and what Rosetti calls a work ethic that "makes players around him better," the Patriots appear to have a defender who has top-90 talent, and upside that's through the roof.

From the sparkling coastline to the rolling pastures and the majestic backdrop of the Illawarra escarpment, the natural experience of Shellharbour is hard to beat.
BASS POINT RESERVE Bass Point Tourist Road, Shellharbour NSW 2529
Come and enjoy the activities of Bass Point Reserve. This significant headland features one of the few diverse littoral rainforests in the Illawarra Region, a large collection of significant Aboriginal and European heritage sites and extensive marine habitats. Take a walk through the reserve and enjoy natural flora and fauna. The lookouts at Bushrangers' Bay and Maloney's Bay take advantage of the coastal views, follow the Coastal Heritage Walk signs and learn more about the history of the reserve.
In the past the Wodi Wodi tribe had a "walkabout area" between Picton, Stanwell Tops, Marulan and Nowra and would camp at Bass Point. Today Bass Point is entered on the Register of the Australian Heritage Commission and is recognised as one of the two most important archaeological sites on the NSW coast.
The Cities Service Boston Memorial at Bass Point remembers the Australian Soldiers who lost their lives going to the aid of sailors on the American Merchant Ship City Services Boston that ran into the rocks at Bass Point during a storm in May 1943.
Bushrangers Bay is a very popular diving and snorkelling location on the South Coast. The sheltered bay offers vast marine life some of which are rare in this area of the coast.
BLACKBUTT RESERVE Shellharbour Road, Blackbutt NSW 2529 This is the largest natural bushland reserve in the Illawarra, covering 250 acres. The Reserve is a key feature of Shellharbour and is the last remaining viable remnant of coastal plain forest between Clifton and Berry. Unique because of its location in the centre of an urban area, the forest contains a diversity of vegetation and wildlife. The area boasts extensive picnic and barbecue facilities as well as children's playgrounds. All year round it is one of our area's most popular family gathering places. A feature is a marvellous open air amphitheatre depicting various Australian wildlife and fauna. The Reserve consists of various walking trails and vast open spaces as well as picnic facilities with gas and wood BBQ's and children's playgrounds and amenities.
KILLALEA STATE PARK Killalea Drive, Shell Cove NSW 2529
Killalea is a spectacular tract of coastal land which has been dedicated as a public recreation reserve. Killalea has one of the best surf beaches (Mystics and the Farm) on the south coast of New South Wales and is also popular for other activities such as scuba diving, snorkelling and fishing. The natural beauty of the Park makes it a wonderful place to relax or take a leisurely stroll from Minnamurra spit along the sandy beaches and around Killalea Lagoon. This place is ideal for family picnics with wood BBQ facilities, children's playground and modern amenities. The recent addition of Camp sites allow you to stay in the natural surroundings of Killalea.
MACQUARIE PASS NATIONAL PARK Illawarra Highway, Albion Park NSW 2527 Macquarie Pass National Park preserves a section of the Illawarra escarpment. It consists of steep, densely timbered ridges and rainforest gullies, topped by a rim of superb cliffs. Two walking tracks are provided for great bush walking, the Cascades Rainforest Walk and the Glenview Track. The Cascades Rainforest Walk is two kilometres return and starts at the picnic area at the foot of Macquarie Pass. If you follow the 1 kilometre track you will come to the 'Cascades' where the water falls from a height of 20 metres. The Glenview Track is open to walkers but closed to vehicles. The track crosses a creek which, 400 metres downstream, plunges over the Cascades. It has several branch tracks through tall open forest providing the walker with the opportunity to explore other parts of the forest. The principal stream through the park is the Macquarie Rivulet. Visitors to Macquarie Pass National Park can relax with a picnic, bushwalking, swimming or observing the beautiful stands of rainforest.
REDDALL RESERVE Reddall Parade, Lake Illawarra NSW 2528
One of the best family locations on the Lake's foreshore is Reddall Reserve. Here children can paddle, swim and play in safety and there are plenty of picnic and barbecue facilities, kiosk and toilets. The Pelican Park playground is a dynamic place for kids to play that was designed with wheelchair access in mind for children with disabilities. The reserve is hive of activity on weekends. Shelharbour City Council holds its annual Family Family Fun n Fireworks and Australia Day at Reddall Reserve.
The park is of heritage significance in that it was the site of Wentworth Cottage, the home of one of Shellharbour City's most well-known pioneering families.
D'Arcy Wentworth acquired a large estate around Shellharbour, which he left to five of his children. John Reddall, the grandson of Martha Wentworth, built Wentworth Cottage in 1896. The magnificent home was built on the highest point of Stoney Range, which is now Pioneer Drive.
In 1914 the property was bought by John Carmody and continued by his son John Raymond (Ray) Carmody who spent his entire working life on the family's dairy farm.
Incorporated in the park is a lookout, which will be known as Carmody's Lookout in honour of the Carmody family who resided in the homestead for most of the last century and boasts magnificent views of Shellharbour City. Other special features of the picturesque park are two mazes, which occupy the site of the former cottage, which was demolished in 1978.

The Silicon Power Armor A80 640GB Portable HDD
Here we get our first look at the Silicon Power Armor A80. The case is made of aluminum. I wouldn't call the Armor heavy, but it is heavier than most portable drives. This is a result of making the aluminum thick enough to meet or exceed the mil spec drop test.
On the back we see that the main portion of the aluminum case is a one piece design that appears to have been sand blasted and then anodized a deep blue color. Also on the back we see the capacity listed at the lower middle of the case.
A very handy, ultra cool, and to just call it like it is, brilliant short USB 3.0 cable can be held directly in a recessed portion of the Armor A80. This is one of the neatest features I have seen to date from a USB 3.0 drive.
On the other side is the USB 3.0 plug that has a rubber door that when closed will allow the Armor A80 to be submerged in up to 1 meter of water for up to a half hour.

Best WWII German Field Marshals
Choose your favorite World War Two German Field Marshal. Don't agree with the list? Vote for an existing item you think should be ranked higher or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on or create your own version of this list.The Top Ten
1Erich von Manstein
Clearly better than Rommel. If it wasn't for Hitler, Manstein would have save the encircled 6th Army. After the Stalingrad disaster he was able to stabilize the front in the south and launched a counter offensive recapturing charkov. The "Unternehmen Zitadelle" (battle of Kursk) was also his idea, but Hitler ordered them to wait until Summer 1943. So the Red army had enough time to fortify their defense lines. Also important for his status as the best german Feldmarschall is the fact, that von Manstein never gave a order to execute civilians, jews or any other ethnic group. He was no racist or member of the Nazi party.
Field Marshall Manstein was a brillant tactician who understood how the warfare had to be conducted. It is indeed sad that he was not allowed to do what he had planned and this led to the reversal of the German army.
As said earlier by others if Hitler had allowed his Field Marshalls / Generals to conduct their battles, the history what we see today and what would have been would be different. Manstein counter offensives were brillant and today many of his battle plans are case studies in the military academy worl wide.

Manstein counter offensives were brillant and today many of his battle plans are case studies in the military academy worl wide.
Von Manstein, born Von Lewinsaki, graduated with honors in the Russian Front. His greatest quality was strategic vision and capacity to improvise upon fateful circumstants and against all odds.
[Newest]Von Manstein was a genius @ war! Thankfully Hitler thought he was the master Strategist!
2Erwin Rommel
Erwin Rommel was even more popular within the the enemy lines than he was within his troops... So frightened by his popularity and tactics were Allies that FieldMarshall Auchinelek Commander of the British Eighth Army Had to issue the orders of zero tolerance for soldiers found indulged in his praise... Perfect soldier... Ordered to present such food and water to prisoners as would be used by his field commanders... Exceptional behaviour with the enemy prisoners... If he would have commanded Normandy... operation Overlord would have been a great failure!
He was the best in the world at the time.. Shame he was on the wrong side.. A true master of tactics & planning, a trye profesional a great loss to the German people.
If hitler let his fieldmarshalls do their job, wee would be under german rule now!
[Newest]This guy had the tools from the fatherland, he could have won in Africa. Favorite of many.
3Heinz Guderian
He developed the blitzkreig method witch nearly took all of Europe by storm
Guderian does not belong on this list, Not because he wasn't an outstanding commander. But because he was never promoted to field marshal, he ended the war as a colonel general.
Guderian was clever and cunning, and was an awesome tactician. His main problem was Kluge and Hitler did not like him, he uttered his true feelings about warfare and that was his demise.
Master of the game
[Newest]He is the greatest tactician of the 20th century. !
4Gerd von Rundstedt
Von Rundstedt was forced to put up with Hilter yet provided the leadership required to keep an army together more than any of the other field marshals
He was a brilliant strategist also he was the last of Germany's "Black Knights".
The best, he guided Rommal and many others. Under rated and his record speaks for its self. if Hitler listened to him the way may have been very different.
5Albert Kesselring
He had the most thorough grasp of both people and technology. He never stopped learning- learned to fly at 48. He had the creativity, optimism, honesty, and strength of character to accomplish anything and earned the honor and admiration of his Allied enemies, who dubbed him "Smiling Albert."
Kesselring served on several fronts, Itlay, and was well love by his troops, he held off the Americans and britans in Italy to 1945
He did more with less than any other General
6Fedor von Bock
A Prussian's Prussian. He did well in Poland in 1939. He should have not been replaced by von Rundstedt as the commander of the Army Group that would be the deciding force in the Fall Gelb operation in 1940. He was the most aggressive of the three army group commanders. He was constantly on the move driving his subordinate commanders forward. He would not have hesitated to wipe out the surrounded Dunkirk enemies. He was also highly aggressive against the Russians and should have been allowed to drive on Moscow. Had Moscow fallen in the Fall of 1941. It would have been the greatest catastrophe. Moscow was the greatest political prize, it was the road and railroad center of the country. It also had great industrial value as well and the electric grid was centered there too. Gfm. von Bock burned himself out in this campaign. He could possibly have been rated higher than von Manstein had he been allowed to do what he wanted in 1940 and 1941.
7Walter Model
Stopping the allied forces at Arnhem. Holding the Americans at Hurtgenwald. Responsible for the longest battle the Americans ever did fight. He is not a wel known fieldmarshal in history, maybe because he gave the allied forces a few bleeding noses. Since the Germans did retreat he made it tough for all allied forces, depending on where he was placed.
In retreat made a lot of casualties with the allied troops.
8Wilhelm Ritter von Leeb
He was a man who was very familiar with war tactics and defense so much so that he wrote books about it and was regarded as an authority on defense... And in the use of tactics to wear down the enemy rather than stage a full frontal attack. Hitler's impatience, misguided alterations to field strategy, and arm chair tactics to take Leningrad led to his failure to take leningrad and ultimately cost him the war.
9Wolfram Freiherr von Richthofen
A clear thinking aristocrat, he showed with simple math that the trapped 6th army at Stalingrad could not be sufficiently supplied from the air.
10Gunther von Kluge

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 Roseanna!
Facts about Roseanna
- Breed: Catahoula Leopard Dog Mix
- Color: Gray/Blue/Silver/Salt & Pepper
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Roseanna's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Roseanna came to the shelter by way of the City Pound and has become a favorite. She is an older dog (5-7) and very well behaved. Her favorite place to be is at your side looking up with her beautiful eyes (both partially blue). She gets along with the other dogs and likes to play with them, but her favorite companions are people.
Other Pets at Post Animal Refuge Center
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Roseanna, a Post Catahoula Leopard Dog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Catahoula Leopard Dog for sale in Post, or seeking a Catahoula Leopard Dog dog from a breeder in Post.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Post 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 Post 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 Catahoula Leopard Dog breeders who help with Catahoula Leopard Dog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Post paves the way for another one to be saved.

That spring, Aerison befriended Joshua Hurd, a teenager, on the Internet and offered him a place on the DreamTeam. Two weeks before the crew was to go overseas, Aerison asked Hurd's mother to buy plane tickets and film on her credit card. The woman agreed. Aerison promised to repay the $13,626 in fifteen days, but instead, police say, he wrote a $15,000 check on the closed credit-union account, disregarded a judge's order to stay in Colorado, violated his bond and left for location with Hurd and the rest of his crew.
Michael Bernatchez was a secondary photographer on that trip, hired on the recommendation of a friend who'd traveled with the DreamTeam to Hawaii in 1999. While he was in Tahiti, Bernatchez's sister read a story about Storme Aerison in Westword ("The Broad Was a Fraud," June 8, 2000), and contacted both her brother and the Colorado Springs police.
"After I found out, I looked for definite signs," Bernatchez told Westword last year. "And there weren't a lot of them. What he does with his manhood, I don't know. There was no bulge or anything. She doesn't give a normal person any reason to doubt. She's very discreet. She plays up the Christian angle. She walks around in sweats and T-shirts. She always wore a towel until the actual shot was taken. The makeup was already done. But one thing I did see is that she had an uplifter. With a little photography and a computer, you can enhance it and make the appearance of a B cup. Other than that, I never knew."
Bernatchez returned to Colorado, minus the $1,100 he'd lent Aerison. When the rest of the crew arrived back home, Aerison was arrested for violating bail. During the booking, Amundson says, a female deputy began to pat Aerison down, but the detective waved her off.
"That's not a female you're doing," Amundson said. "That's a male."
Then Aerison spoke up: "It's okay. I have both sexes."
In September 2000, authorities charged Aerison with stealing $13,600 from the Hurds and writing a hot check for $15,000. That same month, Amundson added another charge of credit-card fraud to Aerison's growing file. Between February and November 1999, Aerison had opened two American Express cards in another man's name and charged $53,752. Aerison said the man, William Boyd, had sponsored the swimsuit calendar, but Boyd told police he never gave Aerison permission to open the accounts.
With the charges mounting, Aerison again skipped town, this time missing a February 12, 2001, hearing in Colorado Springs and traveling from Alaska to Florida with a longtime friend. Dennis Blackwell, a Colorado Springs bail bondsman who stood to lose $155,000, traced the fugitive to Daytona Beach. After flashing a photo of Aerison at a 7-Eleven, Blackwell and Daytona Beach police found Aerison hiding under a pile of clothes in a bedroom closet, sporting a five o'clock shadow and a T-shirt "with little hearts on it."
After the March 21 arrest, Aerison tried to contest Colorado warrants that listed him as a white female. He was a black man, Aerison told a Florida judge, but he was extradited anyway and placed in the men's section of the El Paso County jail.
And there he remains in protective custody, awaiting trial. "Our case is solid," Amundson says.

It is a tricky time for the Czech parliament to fire its government, but that's exactly what it did today with a vote of no confidence.
Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek is about halfway through the country's six-month term as president of the European Union, a position that sparked endless advance speculation on whether Prague was capable of handling it. The new situation will undoubtedly reignite that debate, and some, like the influential parliamentarian I quote below, are already drawing negative conclusions from it.
U.S. President Barack Obama is due in the Czech Republic April 5 for a summit with all 27 EU members and the Topolanek government has a full EU agenda ahead, with even an extra EU Council meeting specifically targeting unemployment scheduled for May.
But the opposition Social Democrats accuse Topolanek's center-right coalition of mishandling the financial crisis domestically. Although the party said late Tuesday that Topolanek could stay on until the end of the EU presidency, which falls June 30, it will be up to President Vaclav Klaus to decide what happens next.
The European Commission released a rather terse factual statement in reaction to the 101—96 vote: "According to the treaties, the Council Presidency is held by the Member State which is represented by its competent governmental authorities under national constitutional law. The Commission has full trust that the national constitutional law allows for the Czech Republic to continue conducting the Council Presidency as effectively as it has done until now. It is for the Czech Republic's democratic process under the constitution to resolve the domestic political issues; the Commission is confident that this is done in a way which ensures the full functioning of the Council Presidency."
The head of the largest coalition in the European Parliament, Joseph Daul of the European People's Party-European Democrats, was much less circumspect, soundly criticizing the Czech opposition that called the vote.
"Europe needs strong leadership in this time of crisis, and a government holding the EU Council's presidency without confidence is not able to provide it," he said. "I strongly regret the decision taken today by the Czech socialist party to adopt the motion of non-confidence in the Government, which undermines not only the stability of the Czech Republic, but also the success of the Czech Presidency of the European Union. Depriving Europe of strong leadership at this time of crisis and jeopardising Europe's stability and reputation on the world stage is just not responsible."
Topolanek is due in Brussels on Wednesday and says he may submit his resignation after that. But he also says he hopes Klaus may ask him to stay on as prime minister and form a new government, since his party was the highest vote-getter in the last elections of 2006. In a statement after the vote, Topolanek assured that "at the moment this situation has no effect on the role of the President of the European Council."

I met this client at our last Chamber of Commerce luncheon. It's an '06 Grand Prix GXP. It was in pretty good condition overall but had never been detailed to my knowledge. Pretty simple job nonetheless.
Pressure-rinse entire vehicle.
Pre-treat door shuts, wheel wells, and front end with APC.
Clean tires, wheels, and wells with Optimum Power Clean (3:1) and various brushes.
Wash body of vehicle with 2 oz. Optimum Car Wash, 1 oz. Optimum Power Clean, and 1 oz. ONR.
Pressure-rinse entire vehicle.
Treat tires with Optimum Tire Shine. OTS is left to dwell on the tires the entire duration of the detail to allow dressing to absorb into the rubber. There's virtually no excess to wipe off when I'm finished.
Clay all painted surfaces with Clay Magic blue clay and ONR.
Polish with PC, speed 5, LC White 5.5" polishing pad, and Optimum Poli-Seal.
Seal paint with DP Surface Shield Protectant. I used this to clear out some old stock, but actually came away from it really impressed. The shine was terrific and the slickness was very good.
Vacuum carpets, mats, seat crevices, etc.
Clean all plastic, vinyl, and leather with a combination of steam and Woolite & water (6:1).
Shampoo carpets and mats with Bio-Kleen Traffic Lane Cleaner (4:1).
Treat all plastic, vinyl, and leather with Optimum Protectant Plus.
Clean all glass inside and out with ONR.

Hello all,
I'm Joe and I hail from southwest Tennessee. Just recently acquired my HGP and have many things to learn, consider and practice. I've been around for half a hundred years and like most folks in these parts I have been shooting for most of those 50 years. I try to shoot often and am fortunate enough to have my own shooting range. I can walk out the door head 100 yards left and start sending the lead down range. My carry choice varies between open and concealed based on several factors. It is beginning to look like I will lean more towards concealed but being a "Big" guy, I do find that to be uncomfortable at times. All of my carry weapons are 45's but I am thinking about adding an H&K USP 9MM to the group. My goals here in this forum is to use as many resources as possible to be the best and most informed HGP holder that I can be.

Ronan Guillou takes street documentary style photos that are unlike your usual expectations of the genre. Instead of it becoming a freak-show or a parade of super cool passers-by, Guillou's American Series is cinematic to the extent that it sometimes looks staged. The images are anything but staged, however, and Guillou lets happenstance and chance encounters dictate his work. The Paris-born photographer has an incredible talent for natural light – the majority of his images are perfectly framed and dappled with sunlight. Such ordinary moments captured extraordinarily.

Sorry if this is a little OT, but I thought it might be an appropriate question for this audience... Has anyone had much experience with RS232 (serial) <-> Ethernet adapters? Or what do you use to remotely manage a Linux server? I'm looking for something inexpensive that will give me remote access to the serial port and hopefully the capability to manually reboot the machine (e.g. push the reset button). I've recently seen how GRUB and the Linux console can be directed to a serial port, and I was quite impressed... Thanks -Alex -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

In Response To: Dog/Wannabe Cat! (Jane Ackerman (B+))
I too have a black and white shitzu. He too is either afraid of other dogs or just ignors them as inferior, I am not sure which. He raoms free around the yard with us and when other dogs go by with their owners and are straining on their leash and barking like mad, he barly gives them a glance or may sit and stare at them as if he thinks they must be mad. We have friends that I could swear come to visit with Snuffles and only pretend to be visiting us. He too loves the neighborhood cats and longs to play with them, but I am afraid most of them do not feel the same. I have been thinking of getting him a cat of his own, only am afraid the cat will get out the doggie door and go off and get hurt. We have a litle fenced area for Snuffles to use when we are out but that would not keep a cat in. Still thinking on it though, we have had some great cats in the past.

BOYS BASKETBALL: Arlington rolls in regular season finale
MCGUFFEY — In the final regular season game of the season for Arlington, Michael Blunk Andrew Hunter and Andrew Glick made sure the Red Devils would head into the postseason on a high note.
Led by Blunk's 18 points and nine rebounds, the trio combined for 40 points in a 57-34 win over Upper Scioto Valley. Hunter finished with 12 points and five assists and Glick contributed 10 points in the win for Arlington, which finished the regular season at 17-5.
Arlington started off hot, running out to a 19-7 lead in the first period. The Red Devils carried that momentum into the second half, using a 15-6 run to push the lead to 20 at 46-26 at end of the third quarter.
Lane Hurley had seven points and six rebounds for former Vanlue coach Jeff Kloepfer's Rams (16-5).

CONTINENTAL — Both Continental and Holgate got off to a slow start that lasted throughout the first half of their nonconference boys basketball game Thursday. Holgate finally broke from the blocks in the third quarter to claim a 36-26 win over the host Patriots.
Landon Grimm scored 13 points and Brandon Gustwiller made three 3-pointers to finish with 11 points for Holgate (12-10).
Dalton Bradford had eight points to lead Continental (6-15), which scored more points in the fourth quarter (14) than it did in the first three periods combined (12).
That slow started resulted in a 2-2 tie after the first quarter and Holgate clinging to a scant 11-10 advantage at halftime. An 11-2 spurt by Holgate in the third period stretched the lead to 22-12 heading into the final quarter.

The first blockbuster of the offseason has happened at the draft as Jordan Staal is off to the Carolina Hurricanes. In return the Penguins will be getting Brandon Sutter, Brian Dumoulin and the eighth pick which they used to select Derrick Pouliot of the Portland Winterhawks.
The trade is a positive for both teams as they serve different purposes.
The key piece here is obviously Jordan Staal who gives Carolina another elite player to line up alongside Jeff Skinner and his brother, Eric. He'll get a chance to finally move out from the shadow of Crosby and Malkin and be relied upon as a big producer. All in all, Carolina ought to be a good place for him to blossom into the role we constantly speculate he's capable of.
Brandon Sutter is a useful player who should slide in very well into the third line center role vacated by Staal after the trade. He scored 17 goals on a terrible Carolina team and should be able to contribute in a secondary role from the bottom six in Pittsburgh.
Brian Dumoulin is a very highly touted prospect out of the Carolina system and had a good year with Boston College. In The Hockey News' Future Watch, Dumoulin was ranked as the third best prospect in the Hurricanes' system by scouts and hockey executives behind Ryan Murphy and Zac Dalpe. Dumoulin is projected to make the leap to the NHL in 2012-13. He is a very good prospect for Pittsburgh to acquire here.
Pouliot is an interesting case because many folks had him slipping late into the first round, but Pittsburgh ultimately took advantage of the leap to grab him. Given Pouliot's offensive skillset it wouldn't be surprising if this was a move Ray Shero was looking to make to ensure they had additional offensive defensemen in the system for when it's time to make a decision on Kris Letang, much like they had to make with Jordan Staal.
The Pens had Letang come in and pick up the slack from Sergei Gonchar and it appears that they want to keep the chain going while adding to the system at-large.
There is no clear cut winner in this deal, just two teams improving in different ways.
What do you think of the swap?

Too much $$ invested to have them die like this. Please help. They are all shrivling up. Tonight I dug the dying ones up, loosened the root balls (something I hadn't done at planting)...and I added some compost around the plants. The root balls seemed kinda dry to me, even though I have been giving them a good shower of water at night. I have tried not watering for a few days, and that isn't working, but watering doesn't necessarily seem to be working either. At first I thought this hill was "part-shade" but the more I re-evaluate it, I'd call it more "full sun". Here are some pics I took tonight of what's going on with my plants. |

Oak Forest will officially open its new Metra train station Friday with an afternoon ribbon-cutting ceremony, according to a press release from the city.
"I can't think of a better Christmas gift for commuters," Mayor Hank Kuspa said in the release. "They have been very patient throughout the construction of the train station. We look forward to bringing more amenities to this area for commuters, residents and visitors to enjoy as we continue to create a dynamic, transit-oriented development at 159th and Cicero Avenue."
The new station has significant architectural details and elongated canopies with prominent columns, the release said. It includes a warming shelter, bike parking and lockers, rest room facilities, indoor/outdoor seated waiting areas, and a geothermal heating system — one of many environmentally friendly features, the release said.
Landscaping around the train station is to be completed in the spring.
"We hope commuters and residents can take pride in this new Oak Forest landmark," community development director Adam Dotson said in the release. "While the train station is a symbol of our future, it also celebrates our past. For more than 100 years, the station has played a pivotal role in the growth of this community, and it will continue to do so by welcoming visitors and inviting them to explore our neighborhoods, businesses and recreational areas."
The train station was funded by $2.3 million in federal and state grants, along with money from a special taxing district in the city.

Breakfast Topic: What do you think about the current Raid Finder loot rules? {WoW}
Feb 24th 2012 8:52AM I don't see a currency being added for this, mainly because of past experience of having multiple forms of currency to convert to another. They could make it something you couldnt convert to, like Tokens of the wolrd Tree, cooking tokens, JC tokens etc. The biggest reason I don't see it is Blizz seems to really be sticking to the 'random loot is random' concept.
If we're sticking with the random loot concept, that's fine. I do like making things non-tradable in LFR. It would cut down on the folks rolling on an item for the purpose of trading later.
The biggest problem, I think, is that at LEAST 9 people in LFR aren't getting anything more then Valor Points (25 people, 16 items) and that's assuming there's an even distribution of the class-specific loot and nobody wins two rolls. That's not a problem in and of itself, it's that people seem to expect to win gear when there's at least a 36% chance they're getting nothing.
Wouldn't this be cool? The dark trolls and the underworld {WoW}
Feb 24th 2012 8:42AM I agree about being pretty tired of Trolls. I was pretty disapointed when Blizz confirmed Zandalar was on the map. Hopefully, Zandalar in Mists' version of Tol Barad/Wintergrasp and is as involved in the overall story of the expansion as those zones were (aka not at all).
I understand the lore about them being the oldest race on Azeroth, but unless we're going to explore something related to that part of them, I think I need a break from them. I mean when we left the planet in BC there was a troll instance added. They're as ovder-done in the game as Night Elves are in the novels.
Looking for raid, or looking for trade? {WoW}
Feb 16th 2012 9:55AM I think the loot trading and complaining about loot in LFR is going to be the face of things until Mists comes out...then I think the new talents are pointing us in the direction that at least on/off spec gear may become a thing of the past. I spilled my brain in my blog here:
Breakfast Topic: Is silence golden in PUGs? {WoW}
Feb 9th 2012 9:03AM I don't talk a whole lot in PUGs, but I typically tank and am a little too occupied to type. I usually start with a hello or howdy, maybe some chatting during the RP events, and a ty for grp at the end. If someone AFKs and we stop to wait, I'll usually jump into a conversation if one is going.
Whenever an ill mannered pug throws out a comment about dps I ignore it, or point out that they are barely beating the tank themselves and it usually stops it (well geared blood dk's can do some good dps). If it doesn't stop the attitude, those players and the 'wtf noobs' and 'l2p noobs' people quickly make my ignore list.
FYI, not many realize it, but LFG/LFR won't group you with people on your ignore list. Since I've started using the ignore list more, I've noticed my PUGs are more enjoyable making me think I had a huge streak of bad luck for a while and the current player base is mostly the non-dbag variety.
Breakfast Topic: What's the worst trash pull in the game? {WoW}
Jan 29th 2012 9:11AM Wow, difficult to answer.
I think the Ultraxion trash is worse in LFR than in normal mode, but still annoying in normal.
Firelands trash was just too...abundant.
If you consider it in the proper time, and (and even now it can still be annoying), and that I usually tank, I would say the packs around the lightning pyramids in Vortex Pinnacle. I think the mechanic of that those pulls are a bit much for trash in a 5 man, add in the pug factor and it just isn't pretty.
Would removing legendaries be a benefit for the World of Warcraft? {WoW}
Jan 27th 2012 4:40PM As has been mentioned in the comments, there's too much potential drama picking who gets the priority etc.
For drama-avoidance, I say get rid of'em (I have never had one myself, and I'm ok with that).
There's no reason legendary items can't stay in, still be status symbols, and not cause balance issues - let them be used to in transmog but have stats/abilities that aren't that special...or only proc against dragonkin and elementals (for example).
The Daily Quest: No BlizzCon makes us sad pandaren {WoW}
Jan 27th 2012 10:35AM Funny than Anne mentions the blogospehere's reactions to the 'no blizzcon in 2012 message' - here's my own lol:
On Jay Mohr as a host - I like him, but I dig that style of humor.
No BlizzCon in 2012, Battle.net championship to be held in Asia {WoW}
Jan 25th 2012 8:52AM I'm sad of no Blizzcon this year because 2012 was my first and I wanted to take that experience and what I learned from it to make make 2012 more fun for me. But, at the same time 2012 is shaping up to be a busy year for me too, so in a way I'm glad this is one less thing I feel like I need to figure out how to work in.
No BlizzCon in 2012, Battle.net championship to be held in Asia {WoW}
Jan 25th 2012 8:50AM I'm not surprised by Titan not being ready to be unveiled since they said at the closing ceremonies in 2011 that it probably wouldn't be until 2013.
No BlizzCon in 2012, Battle.net championship to be held in Asia {WoW}
Jan 25th 2012 8:48AM I've been skeptical of their claims that they make no money off of Blizzcon, but I doubt it has anything to do with DTV wanting more. The way that would typically work is DTV pays Blizzard so much money and then they get to keep most/all of the PPV money (why do you think DTV is the only place to get NFL Sunday ticket? They paid the NFL a few billion)

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Baxter, a Cumberland Sphynx cat was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Sphynx for sale in Cumberland, or seeking a Sphynx cat from a breeder in Cumberland.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Cumberland 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 Cumberland 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 Sphynx breeders who help with Sphynx rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Cumberland paves the way for another one to be saved.
