Minnesota Timberwolves vs. Houston Rockets
Play: Minnesota Timberwolves +6½
The Minnesota Timberwolves hope to make it back to back wins tonight when they take on the Houston Rockets.
The Wolves have been pretty inconsistent all season but after consecutive losses to the Wizards and the Clippers, things look to be turning around for Minnesota who are coming off a 111-81 win over the Nets last night. Kevin Love had 17 points, 16 rebounds and four assists in just 28 minutes while Kevin Martin added 17 himself to lead five players in double figures as the Wolves cruised to victory in a game where they led by as many as 37 points. With the win, Minnesota improve to 8-6 on the season and 6-2 at home.
Meanwhile, the Rockets fell just short of a fourth straight victory after losing to the Mavericks by 123-120 on Wednesday. Dwight Howard led the team with a season-high 33 points and 11 rebounds, while James Harden added 23 points and eight assists, but the Rockets failed to hold onto an 18-point lead in the third quarter. The problem was once again defense as they allowed the Mavs to shoot a blistering 58.3 percent from the field, including a total of 36 points in the fourth quarter. Houston has now allowed an average of 108.4 points in their last five outings which isn't a good sign which isn't good enough when you have a defensive star like Howard in the paint.
In ATS trends, the Wolves are 6-2 ATS in their last eight road games and 9-4 ATS in their last 13 games overall, while the Rockets are 4-9 ATS in their last 13 home games and 1-4 ATS in their last five games against a team with a winning record.
Head to head, the Wolves are 5-1 ATS in the last six meetings overall and 4-0 ATS in the last four meetings in Houston. The only thing I can be sure of is that this game is certain to be a free-flowing fast paced game so you can expect plenty of points in this one tonight.

Wisconsin vs. Minnesota
Play: Under 50
Brutal cold day in Minnesota today as the Badgers and Gophers match-up here - Forecast calling for the wind chill to be in the single digits. Scoring possibilities have to be limited in these conditions making for a solid release on the under here today. Under is 5-1 in Badgers last 6 games overall. Under is 4-1 in Badgers last 5 games in November. Under is 6-2-1 in Golden Gophers last 9 games in November. Under is 11-5 in Golden Gophers last 16 home games. Under this posted total the play here.

OC Dooley
Texas A&M / LSU Under 73.5
It is easy to see why this total is so high as we have a pair of statistically gifted quarterbacks going at it including Johnny Manziel of the Aggies who has two more shots at impressing Heisman Trophy voters. Manziel and his Aggies have played "above" the total in all SIX conference games this campaign and lead the Southeastern draw in average points (49) scored per contest. Manziel alone has produced more than 300 total yards of offense in an incredible NINE consecutive starts and his Aggies have reached the fifty-point plateau in each of the most recent three appearances. The last time the nation saw the LSU Tigers was a hyped primetime affair against top-ranked Alabama which turned into a high scoring 38-17 game where the defense struggled. One of the keys to this pick is that both sides enter off a BYE week and in the case of the Aggies that slows down offensive momentum. As for as the host Tigers are concerned head coach Les Miles has actually been preaching DEFENSIVE intensity which is what the Southeastern Conference used to be (physical and low scoring football) before the Manziel invasion. As mentioned earlier this total is inflated due to the quarterback statistics that include LSU's Zach Mettenberger who has the #2 ranked passer-rating in the SEC, but I for one am following the lead setup by his head coach.

Tennessee Tech +1.5
We really like this spot for Tennessee Tech at home against UWM. Tech returns four starters from last year's team and boast a 3-3 record this season, while Milwaukee comes in at 4-2 on the season. We will readily admit that Milwaukee has played the tough schedule early in the season, including a win at Davidson. In their last game, Tenn Tech blasted Indiana-Kokomo 92-39, a game that saw them shoot over 56% from the field. We think the wrong team is favored here tonight and Tech defends the home court.

KENT STATE (-10½) over Niagara
Transfer Derek Jackson is making a much bigger impact than expected for Kent State, as he leads the Golden Flashes in scoring while shooting 53% from the field and contributing great defense (2.3 steals per game). The underrated Flashes are already 4-0 ATS this season and they're likely to continue that trend tonight based on a very good 86-23-1 ATS momentum situation that applies to them. My ratings favor Kent by 9½ points and I'd take Kent in a 2-Star Best Bet at -10 points or less and for 3-Stars at -9.
Re: Free Picks: Service Plays for Saturday, November 23
Bowling Green at St. Louis
Pick: St. Louis -20
The St. Louis Billikens have gotten off to a 4-0 start, and they have been shooting the ball very well at 47.4%. There are certainly signs that will continue, as they have been great at the charity stipe as well, knocking down 78.4%. The Falcons are 1-2 and have shot the ball poorly at just over 40% through three games, and they have coughed up a lot of points at the line, where they are shooting an ugly 52.9% on the season. Bowling Green has never fared well vs. the Atlantic 10 as they are 4-11 ATS in their last 15, and overall have dropped their last five outside of the conference. St. Louis is holding serve at home where they are 9-2 ATS in their last 11. The shooting woes continue for the Falcons, so play on St. Louis.

Vanderbilt at Tennessee
Play: Vanderbilt +2.5
Last year Vanderbilt hammered Tennessee 41-21 as they outgained the Volunteers by 140 yards with a dominating effort. In 2013 the Volunteers have been outgained in eight of their ten games this season with the exceptions in games against Austin Peay and South Alabama. Don't like the Tennessee defense as they are allowing 434 yards this season with 226 yards on the ground. With Austyn Carta-Samuels healthy under center for the Commodores the play is on Vanderbilt plust the 2.5 points.

UL-Monroe vs. South Alabama
Play: UL-Monroe +3½
Louisiana-Monroe was trying to save their season with a postseason bid in their grasp with three consecutive victories before Arkansas State put those plans on hold in a decisive 42-14 decision. The Red Wolves were too much on both sides of the ball with almost 500 yards of offense, while the Warhawks were limited to 328 yards and a 2-14 mark on third down conversions. The ground game was very good when the Warhawks ran with 137 yards and five yards per touch with Kolton Browning leading the way with 55 yards on 13 carries. However the normally dependable signal caller struggled in the air with a 17-37 effort for 191 yards with two touchdowns and a pair of picks.
South Alabama appeared to be headed for a Bowl berth a few short weeks ago but three consecutive defeats has the Jaguars needing a sweep of their final three games. USA faced Navy last time out and got a bird's eye view of their option for the first time and struggled to stop it with the Midshipmen rolling up over 500 total yards with 351 coming on the ground. The Jaguars never got going on the offensive end with 300 yards so the 43-14 final was no surprise when looking over the box score. The rushing attack averaged a little more then three yards ber shot which placed the focus of moving the chains on the arm of Ross Metheny which hasn't been a bad option. Metheny connected on 18-27 for 160 yards and two touchdowns but USA needed much more.
The Jaguars scare me a little bit with their ability to throw but Browning is no slouch when it comes to putting the ball in the air so I'm tempted to take the points in a must-win game.
Western Kentucky vs. Texas State
Play: Texas State +6
It wasn't all that long ago that Western Kentucky was an afterthought in the Sun Belt, but now they are a Bowl team. The Hilltoppers are 6-4 following consecutive victories with two games left to be played so a win here and WKU definitely gets a spot in the postseason somewhere. The defense did a solid job and the offense did just enough in a 21-17 victory at Army as the team overcame two more turnovers. The yardage totals for both teams was +/-340 yards with Army rushing for 277 yards while the Hilltoppers did a little of bot running and throwing. Antonio Andrews ran for 117 yards on 24 carries with a trip to the end zone. Doughty make some plays with his arm. Doughty hit on 16-24 for 199 yards and two scores and an interception.
Texas State saw their three game winning streak come to an end in a 38-21 loss to Arkansas State. That dropped the Bobcats to 6-4 with a pair of games remaining with a win sending them to a Bowl. The Bobcats gave the Red Wolves all they could handle for two quarters with the score tied 21-21, but neither side of the ball made enough plays in the second half with the offense getting shutout. At the final gun, ASU held a 424-368 advantage in real estate with 328 coming on the ground. Robert Lowe gave the ground attack some quality gains with 86 yards on 14 touches, but not much after half time. Tyler Jones was solid through the air with a 17-28 performance going for 204 yards and a pair of touchdowns but once again most the yardage came in the first 30 minutes.
I have followed Western Kentucky for a long time and I'm sometimes biased towards them. The Hilltoppers win and cover if they avoid the turnover bug that has killed them and lose if they don't. Sounds simple, but backing them is difficult to do with the mistakes.

Charlotte Bobcats vs. Milwaukee Bucks
Play: Milwaukee Bucks -2
The Milwaukee Bucks hope to avoid their eighth straight loss tonight as the Charlotte Bobcats come to town.
Head to head, the Bobcats are 2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings in Milwaukee while the home team is 4-0 ATS in the last 4 meetings. The Bucks are 19-39 ATS in their last 58 home games, 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games playing on 0 days rest and 0-4 ATS in their last 4 games overall. The Bobcats on the other hand are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games, but just 21-43 ATS in their last 64 games playing on 0 days rest and 2-5 ATS in their last 7 road games vs. a team with a home winning % of less than .400.
If anyone else had the Bucks +3 last night in Philadelphia, I feel your pain. Milwaukee looked like they were going to break their six-game losing streak until Spencer Hawes hit a fadeaway three-pointer as time expired to force the game into overtime, where the 76ers would eventually come away 115-107 winners. Now we all suffer bad beats from time to time and I will take the loss on the chin (had the Bucks as my premium pick,) but I'm not going to hesitate to take Milwaukee again because of it.
Here's the deal. The Bucks have now lost seven straight and part of the reason why I liked them last night is because they have gotten players back from injury and they were due for a win, which still rings true for tonight's game. Most of the losses during their current slide have been by double-digits or greater, but they have played some really tough team during their skid including Miami, Portland, Dallas, Oklahoma City and Indiana. If Milwaukee can't get a win tonight over Charlotte, then I don't know when it's going to come.
Speaking of Charlotte, I don't think they are going to be easy beats by any stretch of the imagination as they have won three of their last four away from home. Granted, those three wins came against teams with a combined home record of 6-13. The Bobcats come into tonight's contest having lost three of four after falling to the Phoenix Suns at home on Friday night 98-91.

Andre Gomes
76ers / Pacers Over 194
Philadelphia is coming from an overtime home win against Milwaukee last night, where they recovered from a ten point deficit with two minutes to go on regulation to send the game into overtime. The Sixers' offense managed to be quite efficient and they ended the game shooting 57% FG, with 34 assists on 45 FG made! They were good on pick and rolls, spot ups, transitions, so it was indeed a great offensive performance from them. On the other hand, both Caron Butler and Ersan Ilyasova had monster games, something that shows Philadelphia's poor defense as well. Philadelphia also committed 26 turnovers, something that shows that they took so many risks on offense that they got exposed on defense as well.
Indiana is coming from a win at Boston last night. The Celtics' offense looked good on the first half, with Jordan Crawford playing great and with the Celtics having a nice offensive flow. Then, right before halftime, rookie Kelly Olynyk got injured and the combination of Boston's relax mode in scoring easily against Indiana, the Pacers stepping it up in the second half and Kris Humphries replacing the injured Kelly Olynyk resulted in Boston scoring just 8 points on the third quarter, while committing 11 turnovers! Indiana ended the game with a good overall offensive performance with 47% FG and 21 fast break points. They also indeed managed to have a good edge down low with Luis Scola and David West scoring 17 points each.
Therefore, tonight's game will be a back to back one for both teams. Note that Philadelphia's spot is tough as they went to overtime last night, while Evan Turner and Spencer Hawes played 39 minutes each. On these back to back spots, Philadelphia has been involved in high scoring games, as they beat Chicago 107-104 and lost to Cleveland 125-127 and to New Orleans 98-135. Indiana can be a good scoring team on transitions and this will be a good spot for them after having faced three slow paced teams in a row in Chicago, the NY Knicks and Boston that are ranked #18, #29 and #14 in pace factor respectively, while Philadelphia is #1. I expect this contest to be a fast paced affair, something that the Pacers aren't very used. especially given the matchups their opponents have been giving them lately. I expect Indiana to have a nice offensive game tonight against the Sixers' poor defense and so, I'll be taking the Over in here.

Mavericks / Nuggets Under 214.5
The Nuggets are 0-9 OU (-8.33 ppg) at home after a game in which they shot less than 60% from the free-throw line and 0-8 OU (-17.88 ppg) at home after a game in which Timofey Mozgov scored fewer than 10 points. However, the most compelling trend for us is the fact that Denver is 0-6 OU at home after a home game in which Ty Lawson took fewer than 10 shots staying under by an average of 16.4 ppg.
Note that the last four have all stayed under by 19-plus points. When handicapping totals, its great to have the point guard with strong under trends.
Finally, Dallas is 0-10 OU with no rest when they are off a home win in which they shot better than 50% from the field and did not sink more than a dozen threes.
Note that the Mavs have stayed under by an average of 21-plus points per game in these ten games.
Consider the Mavs and Nuggets UNDER.

The Duke's Sports
No denying Johnny Football is the real deal; however, worth noting he struggled against this LSU defense last year and now playing the Tigers in Baton Rouge, especially off a loss, will be an uphill battle. LSU HC Miles is dangerous off losses and the Tigers had an extra week to stew over their loss to Alabama and prep for this one. And keep in mind that this LSU offense has been much more versatile with OC Cameron. The A&M defense, however, has been nothing short of pathetic at 106th in the nation and that's where we draw the line. LSU is 4-0-1 ATS in its last 5 at home vs A&M and we're staying with the home team.

Temple -7
The UConn Huskies are 0-9 this year. UConn hasn't shown a pulse on the road all season. Their closest road losing margin is 17 points. Temple may only be 1-9 on the year, but the Owls are a much improved team of late. They have been leading in the 4th quarter in three straight games against good opponents. Temple is due for a big win, and this is a great spot for the team to get that win. P.J. Walker gives this team a play maker at quarterback, and the Owls should break out in this one. Temple is 6-0 ATS in their last 6. They are 5-0 ATS in their last 5 following a loss. They are 5-0 ATS after gaining at least 450 yards in the previous game. UConn is 0-7 ATS in the last 7 meetings between these two. A 23-0 angle.

Beyond The Peel
The Ultimate Protein Bar! It sounds so conceited doesn't it? I thought so too, but these are really good. I can't figure out why. I didn't even start with a recipe. I just started chucking things into a bowl and baked it. These are the best ones we've made yet, not solely for the flavor, though they are really tasty, but more because of the texture. The result is a ridiculously moist yet dense protein bar. I believe this recipe will be the base for many other concoctions and flavors in the future.
The whole thing started because I was making Pavlova and needed 4 egg whites. Also I wanted to stuff it with cream and fruit but wanted to try it with a dairy free cream, such as whipped coconut cream. I read about coconut cream recently but had never tried it. Oh my word, it's delicious. As the queen of never wanting to waste anything, I wanted to figure out a way to use the rest of the coconut water and the 4 egg yolks that I was left with. At the same time my husband reached for the last Peanut Butter Oatmeal Protein Bar, and that's when the concocting began.
I chose to use sunflower seed butter for two reasons. First, I like to change the flavor of our bars every time we make a batch so we don't get bored with them. Changing the texture helps, too. Second, the price on sunflower seed butter is half the price of almond butter! I like that.

Name-Based Virtual Hosting With Apache[edit]
In the real world, it is rare to only operate one website on a machine. For all but the most demanding websites, it would be a waste of resources to do so, because a single modest computer can serve hundreds or thousands of web requests every minute without much effort. It would also be a waste of the finite IP space on the Internet, as there is a fixed number of IP addresses available and large swaths of them are already in use. To solve both problems Apache provides a feature known as name-based virtual hosts. With name-based virtual hosts, you may serve hundreds or thousands of websites, each with their own domain name, from a single machine running on a single IP!
In this short tutorial we will convert our existing default server into a virtual server, and create a new server that can be hosted alongside our first website on a different domain name. With the mention of domain names, you may have realized we won't be able to test our new virtual servers until domain name service has been configured. Luckily, there is a short tutorial for that as well in the BIND chapter to which you can refer when you are ready to try out your new virtual hosts. Converting a Default Server to a Virtual Server
The first step to using virtual servers in a generic, and thus easily scalable and flexible manner, is to convert our already configured default server to a virtual server. Though this isn't strictly necessary to make this change, it is common practice to instead provide an appropriate error page, or a page of links to all of the virtual hosts on the machine using a traditional URL syntax for web clients that are incompatible with name-based hosts (however extremely rare such clients may be). Because the default server will be used in the event no virtual servers match, it could also be left as-is, with all other hosts being configured using the virtual hosts mechanism.
To create a new virtual server, fill in the form at the bottom of the primary Apache module page. You may leave the address and port empty and select the Any option for the address, unless your server has many IP addresses and you only want this virtual host to respond on one of them or you want this virtual host to respond on one ore more non-standard ports. For our example setup, we'll just leave them empty.
The Document Root can be any directory on your system to which the Apache process has read access, however there are some conventions that you can follow in order to make your server more immediately comprehensible to subsequent administrators. If all of the virtual servers on your system are to be under the control of your company, and you will be administering all of them yourself, it is wise to place all of the document roots into subdirectories of whatever the default server document roots parent directory is. For example, on my system the default document root is /var/www/html, so it makes good sense for my virtual server document roots to reside in subdirectories of /var/www. The more common convention, however, is used in environments where many users will be maintaining many websites, and none of the users should have access to the other users website directories directly. In this case, the normal practice is to place the document root into the users home directory, in a sub-directory called htdocs or www.
Finally, fill in the server name, which is the domain name on which you'd like this server to answer (Figure 7.9, "Creating a new virtual host"). If you don't happen to own a domain that can be used for experimenting, you can simply make one up. We'll be configuring our own local domain name server later on, so there are no rules about how you have to name it. You could call it google.com, or whitehouse.gov, or just george, if you wanted to. However, since it is likely you intend to put the server online for production use at some point in the future, you'll likely just name it whatever domain name it will be at that point. In my case, I'd call it swelltech.com.
Figure 7.9. Creating a new virtual host
Creating a new virtual host[edit]
Click Create. Now move your content from your default server document root directory into your new document root. In my case it is /var/www/swelltech.com. After applying the changes to your server, your Apache configuration should be finished, though we'll tackle a few more small issues before calling it done.
Adding Other Virtual Server Names[edit]
Perhaps you noticed when we configured the above virtual server, it was named simply swelltech.com. Did you wonder why I didn't call it www.swelltech.com instead? The reason is simple: I'd like for users to be able to browse to either address and get the same website. So I named the virtual server swelltech.com, and now a new server alias can be added to cause it to answer on both names. To add a new virtual server name to an existing virtual server, click on the icon for the virtual server on the main Apache module page. Then click the Networking and Addresses icon. Now fill in all of the other domain names on which you'd like your website to appear. Note that these names must each have their own DNS record for users to be able to use them, just like the original swelltech.com name. Every additional host name in the domain is a new address, so www.swelltech.com and mail.swelltech.com have to have their own name record in the name server even if they are on the same machine.

Chris remembers some bare details of this book she's looking for, and she thought it was a Christina Dodd novel, but her search hasn't yielded anything:
This is starting to confound me. I want to say that I read this book back in 2005 when I was pregnant with my first. I borrowed it from the library, but it was on the regular shelves not the new ones.
It's a historical that originated in Paris, but they ended up in the desert with some sheikh. I want to say they were both English, but I'm not certain. I recall the heroine was kidnapped by the sheikh, at one point.
There was a libido increasing drug involved. It made for some sexy scenes. I think the hero was spying, but I'm not positive. I've been remembering bits and pieces and I can't even recall the author. This is driving me crazy.
I want to say it's Christina Dodd, but I've looked at all her historicals and I can't locate it. I even stopped in the library again today and got my kids to behave, so I could try to figure it out. Failure. If anyone has a clue, I would be most grateful.
Do you recognize this book?

Where were you when you heard that the World Trade Center had been attacked on 9/11? It's hard to believe next month is the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.
To reflect on where we were at the time of the attacks and where we are now, The Explorer would like to hear from you. Please email us and share your thoughts about that awful morning and its aftermath. How did you react? How did it affect your life? Did you know any of the victims or first-responders? Did you participate in any fundraisers? How has it changed your life today?
I remember turning on the TV that morning to watch the morning news program while getting ready for work. I saw the smoke coming from one tower, then sat transfixed when the second tower was hit.
My immediate thought was of my nephew in the U.S. Navy, who was then stationed on a minesweeper in the Gulf of Bahrain. Then I thought of the people who were injured or killed, and of their families, and then the first-
responders who raced to the scene.
Like many of you, I was addicted to the TV coverage. Sometimes I watched, hoping to catch a glimpse of my nephew in the footage of military personnel. Other times, I couldn't tear myself away from the surrealistic video.
I also remember the patriotism we felt, and the kindnesses shared between strangers. What a remarkable outpouring of support, much of which still exists today.
What do you remember? Please share your thoughts.
Just a reminder that we'd also love you to share your digital photos of your child's first day of school this year. Please email them to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Keep in mind my email cannot accept attachments totaling more than 7 MB.
Be sure to include your name and phone number, as well as your child's name, grade and school.

I've got booster tickets that I purchased through UAA. Naturally we didn't discover the tickets didn't make the trip until after the Gator Ticket Office closed this evening. Anyone have any idea what our best course of action is? Do we have a representative at the box office at away games?

Zarrella paces Lady Mustangs to second-place finish
Date: November 8, 2012
by: Jen Blanco | Sports Editor

Good quality -
By: foxcrow from Rochester Hills, Michigan
These readers are great quality. A lot better quality then you would get from a store or pharmacy. Plus I like the style. They don't look to large on your face.
Stylish and functional -
By: Otch from Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan
Top 10 Contributor
I can't tell you how many compliments I get on these glasses. Even my 20 and 22 year old daughters think they make me look good. I like them so much I have three pair - one for work, home and the cottage.
Exactly what I wanted! -
By: BigTed from London
Having looked around for some time for "off the peg" tortoiseshell half-glasses in numerous other shops and opticians I was delighted to find these here. They are good quality and the lenses work perfectly - I have no hesitation in recommending these reading glasses to anyone seeking this style.
Great purchase -
By: Bigduke from Chicago, IL
These are great readers. A little pricey but totally worth it. You won't go wrong if you order them. More than recommend them for a friend I actually purchased two pair and gave the 2nd pair to one of my friends who always borrows mine. Inventory had actually ran out when I ordered them and Orvis got them to me within two weeks. Orvis has great customer service !
Great looking, but... -
By: CjnB from Big Canoe, GA
These glasses were very stylish and exactly what we expected, but my husband has a big head, and these just fell off his face. Terribly mis-sized.
Helpful -
By: hykes from Cohoes, NY
I call this purchase of the reading glasses, helpful. Seeing that I need reading glasses. They also give me a look of character.
somewhat disappointed -
By: Shaman1 from Dallas, TX
I have a number of reading glasses and while I like the stylish design and quality of this pair, I can only assign them an average rating because the bridge is too wide, allowing the glasses to slip downward on one's nose. There is no way to make any adjustment to improve the fit due to the specific style of these glasses. I would therefore suggest manufacturing two model types, one for a narrow nose and one model for a broader type nose.
Great Glasses but not the ones I ordered -
By: PeteK from NYC and Austin, Texas
The glasses I received were larger, full framed ones which I intend to keep. The optics, fit and functionality are superb.

I recently bought a Taurus 99AF, specifically because it has ambidextrous controls (including a reversible mag release), my daughter is left handed; so this will essentially be "her" gun. When I went to reverse the mag release, I couldn't get it loose. From what I understand it is supposed to "unscrew". I have tried about everything... anybody familiar with this? Thanks in advance, RJ

Drawing from decades of experience and know-how serving the steel industry, Air Products can help recommend process improvements and identify solutions to problems.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Gridiron gala breeds CFL stars
Latest wave of Manitoba talent to compete in Blue and Gold Classic
THE long list of the game's alumni reads like a who's who of Manitoba-born professional football players.
NFLer Israel Idonije, for instance, played in the annual Blue and Gold Classic. And so too did Edmonton Eskimos linemen Eddie Steele, Kyle Koch and Don Oramasionwu.
The list goes on and on for an annual celebration of local youth football that will have its 28th renewal Saturday at East Side Eagles Field. But the point is this: these kids are good, really good.
Take St. Paul's High School running back Alex Taylor, who was named an all-star at last year's Football Canada Cup in London, Ont., and will suit up in this weekend's under-18 game.
With a deep football pedigree -- his cousin is former CFLer and current Winnipeg Blue Bombers assistant coach Markus Howell -- along with all kinds of on-field talent and good grades off of it, the 17-year-old Grade 11 student has all the early makings of the 'Next One' to come out of Manitoba.
Heck, he even looks a little like B.C. Lions star running back -- and native Winnipegger -- Andrew Harris.
"Obviously what Andrew Harris did was pretty spectacular, coming out of Winnipeg as a high school student," Taylor said Wednesday as Football Manitoba held a pre-game news conference at Buck's Sports Lounge.
"And obviously that's something I'd like to do too, being another small Winnipeg guy to make it to the big leagues."
Taylor says he's hopeful the combination of his success on the field and in the classroom will merit a university scholarship down the road, maybe to even a big U.S. school.
Bombers QB Buck Pierce, who will be the honorary coach of one of the two under-16 teams on Saturday, came out of one of those big U.S. colleges, New Mexico State.
While youth football in Manitoba will never be as big as it is in the U.S., Pierce -- who recalled Wednesday playing in front of crowds as big as 13,000 when he was in high school -- says he thinks football has grown in Manitoba in just the four years he's lived here.
"I think it's getting bigger here, I really do," said Pierce. "I think the (Football Manitoba) guys here have done a really good job of showcasing the athletes, giving them a chance to put their skills on a national level. I'm seeing more and more high school kids here saying, 'Hey, football might be a chance for me to go to school and get a better education. Football could be my catalyst to my next phase in life.'
"And that's what football should be all about."
Fourteen-year-old Colby Kyliuk is on the same page with Pierce in that regard.
"This is a really great experience. It's a brand-new experience for me and I really feel fortunate to be able to play in this game," said Kyliuk, a quarterback for the St. Vital Mustangs who will suit up in Saturday's under-16 game.
"I definitely have some aspirations to reach my dreams and go for my goals."
Showcase for youth football
What: The 28th Annual Blue and Gold Classic
When: Saturday
Where: East Side Eagles Field, 723 London St.
Tell Me: Football Manitoba will hold it's annual showcase of youth football in Manitoba with two games on Saturday -- an Under-16 game at 10:30 a.m. and an Under-18 game at 1:30 p.m.. The latter game will also be televised on Shaw TV. Tickets are $5 at the gate.
Fast Facts: This year's honorary coaches are former Bombers linemen Glen Scrivener and Kelly Butler and current Bombers QB Buck Pierce and OL Glenn January.

Ham and corn chowder
(Read article summary)A chowder that makes perfect use of leftover Easter ham.
The Gourmand Mom
Life is made up of a series of memories; some big, some small, some clearly life-changing, and some seemingly inconsequential. My wedding day, the births of my children, the loss of loved ones … all clearly consequential. But the little memories … like singing the soundtrack to "Grease" with my sisters while we played on our childhood swingset or selling candy bars outside the grocery store or riding our bikes in the park … turns out that those are just as consequential. We just don't always realize it in the moment.
I was playing around on my computer the other night and distractedly watching "American Idol," when two of the contestants come on stage and begin singing "Islands in the Stream," a duet originally performed by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton. In an instant I was transported back to my childhood, in my parents' room, where my sisters and I used to stand at the foot of their bed, with our toes jammed between the mattress and boxspring, so that when we'd lean forward, the edge of the mattress would catch our calves and we'd suspend there, bobbing forward with our arms outstretched. We'd sway back and forth, mock-gliding over the mattress singing "Islands in the Stream" at the top of our lungs … with all the wrong lyrics, I am sure.
Such a simple little memory and yet it's etched in my mind. Because it's more than the ordinary event of singing a song with my sisters. It was a matter of being together, of laughing, of loving, and of feeling at home. Those are consequential, life-altering sorts of things wrapped in a silly little memory and tied together with a country song.

Every time I've been severely harassed from 2011 to 2012. I get the occasional "nice tits" and rudeness but this is by far the worst. I know the exact dates because of OCD journal entries.
– On July 11th 2011, I was walking to my father's house. I was not provocatively dressed at all: Rob Zombie t-shirt and jeans. My father lives in an alright area, but you have to walk under two highway overpasses and past a bar to get there. A lot of men hang out under the overpasses, but since it was broad daylight I didn't see a reason to be anxious. This older man rode up behind me on his bicycle and started asking me questions. "Where are you going?" "What are you doing?" A lot of it was really condescending and he referred to me as "baby". Then when I ignored him he proceeded to physically block my way (with his bicycle) right by the highway overpass. Naturally I was uncomfortable and refused to answer his questions. He finally rode away but not before yelling "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SCARED OF ME BECAUSE OF MY COLOR!!!" My father lives in a neighborhood predominantly made up of African Americans. I was afraid that they would assume that I had yelled some racial slur at the man or had done some great injustice by refusing to talk to him. There were people sitting at the bar who saw what he was doing but made no attempt to help me. I got to my dad's, closed the curtains, cried and ordered pepperspray.
– On September 20th 2012, I turned 19 and wore a low cut shirt. I am pretty busty (wearing a 34 I–but actually more of a 34 K) so I am somewhat used to being looked at. I don't mind being looked at, but I don't like it when my body is commented on, because it is something I cannot control. I was going to class and a teacher looked me up and down and said "Looking good." I turned red and said "thanks." I really did not know how to respond to that situation because even though this person isn't a professor of mine, they still had some authority over me. I really did not know how to respond or what to do. I told a friend of mine who is an RA and they encouraged me to report it, I didn't want to stir up trouble so I didn't report it, but I spent part of my birthday feeling dirty and cheap because of a lousy professor. The worst part, I almost stupidly registered for a class of his. Thank God I dodged that bullet. If I see him I make sure I glare at him in the halls. I stand by my decision not to report because I would of been slut shamed to hell and back for my low cut shirt.
–On September 29th 2012, I had to go to a Pagan Pride festival for my internship. Since I didn't know where I needed to be I decided to call a cab. When I got in the cab, the driver had his young son in a carseat next to me. Then asked me where I was going. When I told him I was going to Pagan Pride for my internship, he got into the whole religion talk and how apparently pagan people are all very sexually promiscuous and bisexual. I explained that although I am not religious myself I respect everyone's religion and sexuality, and that I myself am bisexual. He then asked me a lot of inappropriate questions about whether or not I'd been with a woman. The subject got onto how he liked my body, and he circled around the park so I would have to pay extra. He handed me his card and asked me to call him. I tore it up and threw it in the nearest trash can. It was a horrible experience because I was stuck in a vehicle with this person, and if I had jumped out of the car I would be somewhere unfamiliar. If I called the cops I would of been slut shamed because of the low cut top and semi-see through skirt I was wearing. Or in the very worse case scenario arrested for not paying. If this ever happens again, I will definitely call and complain.
–On November 5th 2012, I was walking to the post office to send off my absentee ballot. I was about a block away from my dorm and on the phone with my boyfriend when the incident took place. I stopped to tie my jacket around my waist because it was hot near where I live. A guy wearing a violet-ish jacket and really worn out pants that might of been jeans or might of been khakis crossed the street and deliberately blocked my path. I stepped to the right and he mimicked my movements with his hands up and a wild look in his eyes. I was irritated so I just walked around him, and a couple of steps later I got this bad feeling, so I spun around. He was right behind me. I told him to "Get the fuck away from me!" And he left me alone. At that moment had he come near me again I am one hundred and ten percent certain I would of gone into fight or flight and severely hurt him, I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I was in survival mode on the way to the post office, but after I left I was shakey. I stayed on the phone with my boyfriend until I found a male acquaintance who walked with me to my next errand. After that I had calmed down enough to go to report it to campus security. Then I filed a report, and was interviewed by two officers who said they thought it was aggressive panhandling. I am genuinely sure that person had more sinister intentions by the look in his eyes. Why would you attempt to rob someone so close to their campus when security guards could hear and when they were on the phone with someone who could of presumably called the police? I was really shaken by the incident and really hope that person was caught, but I doubt they were.
This is why street harassment sucks. I don't feel safe walking around near my father's house or university. I have other less-severe incidents where people have yelled things out of cars or made kissy faces at me. I shouldn't have to be nice to these assholes and not make a scene. I hate how people blame it on what I wear or on how I have big boobs, or tell me that I should ignore it and move on. I have a right to be angry with this treatment, and one of my new years resolutions is to not tolerate anymore of this bullshit.
Each day I learn increasingly how dangerous it is to be a female on this planet. I only recently returned, just before 2am, from the most terrifying experience of my life. On my commute home, I ended up at a relatively desolate subway station. A guy apparently took interest in me and started (literally) doing ninja kicks by my head as I sat, petrified, on a bench wondering what the fuck was going on. I moved away and he pursued, following me wherever I walked in the station. I sought solace by the only other people there at that moment, only to again be regarded as a piece of meat and catcalled by the two shitfaces. The psycho guy was oblivious to my intentions of ignoring him, my dirty looks, hanging around the emergency call button and wearing headphones. I was so tempted to push that button, but I was afraid he'd beat me to a bloody pulp in the time it took the cops to get that far underground to the station. I knew he would follow me onto my train and my prediction was correct, as he boarded the same car as me and made sure to stand a few feet away from me. I swung my umbrella around and clenched my pepperspray in my coat pocket. It was collectively the most horrifying 20 mins of my life. He pretty much chased me out of the station and I almost passed out due to running and having a simultaneous panic attack. Hollywood Boulevard was almost empty, but I saw a mall security guard (as I'd hoped to) and ran to him, relaying my story. The psycho followed me into the open air mall, only to continue walking up the steps when he saw me with security. I was literally shaking and out of breath. Another guard was called to escort me to my street, which is right behind the mall. He couldn't believe what had happened. We approached the exit of the mall, which joins up with a parking garage for the hotel and also my street. Who was walking down the driveway from the parking garage? The psycho! I bolted back towards the mall until the guard received a call that the guy had left the area. The guard then walked me to my street and I said I was ok to get to my apartment, which was a few buildings down and waved to him when I was outside my door. I am so grateful to them for helping me and as sad as it is, I know it could have been much, much worse, as it is for so many people in this scenario. I don't think it's stretching beyond the imagination to say that guy would have attacked and raped me, then killed me, had we been alone. It's like I can't even live my life with these people around, all because I am a girl.
These photos was taken on December 14, 2012 in South Bend, Indiana. These clever gentlemen thought it was super funny to talk about how much they would like to "violently rape that bitch," "take it from that cunt," and "beat the shit out of her." They mentioned being puzzled about why "whores should even get paid" for the privilege of having their small penises inside them. They also thought it was super awesome to call me a "fucking whore" when I asked them to stop yelling ugly misogynistic things across the restaurant.
Sadly the manager asked me to leave after I began taking photos of these men. I explained to the manager that the group had been talking about beating up women, raping women, and were using extraordinarily offensive sexist language including bitch, cunt, slut, etc., but the manager simply told me to "return to my seat." I declined to do so and left, while the men continued to shout "whore" at me (and at least one threatened to rape me as well).
Since posting these photos on Facebook, I have found out that these gentlemen are Notre Dame undergraduate students, at least some of whom were recently banned from living on campus.
It isn't much of a story, I was just hoping to take a little control back after the routine, lech-y verbal harassment that occurs in the not-so-nice part of my neighbourhood here in LA.
I was walking to the pet store to buy some dog food when a 50-something man started shouting sexual obscenities in my direction, entreating me to "come over to his car" to "get a better look", blah blah. He was sitting in his BMW SUV in the Citibank parking lot, smoking a cigarette.
I looked over at him, he grinned and I quickly averted my gaze. As I was in the pet store, I was mad at myself for not staring him down, so on my way back, I held up my iPhone and conspicuously snapped a profile photo of him, then got a little closer to take a photo of his license plate. As he saw me taking the second picture, his grin turned to what seemed like a confused frown.
Here's his car, and his license plate. He can go fuck himself.
This experience is a few years old, but I just came across this site after sharing the story a few days ago, so I thought I would share it here.
A few years ago I was visiting the Summer Solstice Festival in Greensboro, NC. It's a wonderful festival that I enjoy very much, and usually the people there are awesome. I was with my husband (now my ex) and a couple friends — one of whom brought her children.
We agreed to meet up at the fire dancers, and with one thing and another I ended up in the middle of a tightly packed crowd, with an autistic little boy of five or so, with no way to track down the rest of my group or even get out of the crowd until the performance was done. It might not have been so difficult for another person, but I'm nightblind — I could see points of fire and tightly packed, shadowy bodies and nothing else. Still wouldn't have been a problem, except that my young charge was both cranky and intent upon joining the fire dancers any way he could. He set up a screaming tantrum to rival the drums, struggled, kicked, bit, and pulled my hair in his flailing attempts to get away from me ( and in case you did not know, autistic kids are ridiculously strong).
A very kind older gentleman (perhaps forties or early fifties) was sitting next to me, and he offered to help me with my uncooperative charge. He helped me get the little boy restrained, then semi-calmed, and I was very grateful. And it didn't bother me that the man sat close to me and put his arm around me either. He was inviting me to come take classes at his yoga studio.
That was when he groped me.
So here I am, still with a squirming child in my arms, and I'm terrified that without this man's help I'll lose my grip on the kid and he'll go charging in amongst the torches and the gasoline. I can't go anywhere — I'm sitting crosslegged with a kid in my lap, people pressed in on all sides, and I CANNOT SEE. And this man is talking about how he would really like to see me me again, with his arm wrapped around my shoulders and his hand on my breast.
I felt so helpless. I never expected it, not from an older man, not from one who was so soft spoken and helpful, not from a freaking YOGA TEACHER at an event where I was used to receiving a higher level of courtesy than usual. I didn't feel like I could escape. I didn't even feel like I could PROTEST, because his influence seemed to be the only thing keeping the kid beating the heck out of me and escaping. Don't get me wrong, if this guy had touched the boy in any way that could have been considered inappropriate I'd have set up an unholy racket. But for myself? I sat there and took it.
I'm a braver person now. I've learned some tricks, and I'm not so helpless in the dark anymore. But I'm even more reluctant than ever to be left alone in any crowded place now.
I was on the bus with a friend of mine in broad daylight going to the subway. At our stop we got up to walk out and these two men were sitting by the doors. As we were standing there they started making comments about our clothes and our bodies so my friend turned around and told him to f*** off. They did not take kindly to this and started calling us terrible things. One of them came very close to us and said "you don't appreciate my compliments, fine, you deserve this" and he dumped his water on both of us. At this point we had expected someone to intervene but nobody did. One man asked if my friend (who was now in tears) was ok but the other people on the bus just grumbled about the water that had gotten on them. I was so shocked at what had happened that I turned to him and said, "do you know how old I am?" and he said "you're a stone cold b****" and then got off the bus. We followed and stood outside the station and as he was walking away I said "I'm fourteen" he turned and gave me a disgusted look and then walked away. Now both these men were probably in their mid to late 40's and they hadn't even shown the slightest bit of remorse when they found out they had just harassed two teenage girls. Before this I didn't feel safe going places in my neighborhood at night, but now I don't even feel safe going places during the day.

I was attacked this morning by a man: Keep yourselves safe.
This morning while walking to my car to get to work I passed two men on the street standing on a corner. One man made a B-line for me while the other called out to him, "Don't go over there." The man did not listen, he sped up to me, and grabbed me. I screamed, "Let go of me!", he did not listen. "Stop!", he did not listen. "Let go off me, get your fucking hands off of me!", he did not listen." I yelled, "Somebody help me!," the man nor his friend listened. I kicked and yelled with no result, "You are just going to stand there while your friend attacks me. Help me!" The man grabbing me stared me down, he could have been drunk or high or whatever but he stared me down and made gestures to his pants. The other man slowly crossed the street coming up behind the man, "There are things you don't understand," grabbing his friend off of me. I immediately ran away towards my car and began to cry.
I am so violated and shaken.
This has never happened to me.
I hate this man. I hate his friend.
I hate my terrified screams.
Please keep yourself safe.

Last night a guy in a club stopped in front of me on the dancefloor, squeezed my cheek and told me to smile. I gave him the finger and walked off and heard him shouting about "WHY DID SHE GIVE ME THE FINGER" all the way to the smoking area. It was about as articulate I could be in a loud club environment where you can barely hear yourself think. Will prepare something wittier if there is a next time.

I had to go run an errand for my boss at the drugstore up the street. So, I'm obviously focused and in a hurry. I'm also wearing my scrubs, no makeup, hair a mess. This old guy is walking past me as I go up to the register. "Hey, there, sexy," he says. I stop dead in my tracks and look at him. "Excuuuuuse me?" I ask, with as much sassy indignation as I can muster. "Oh, uh. I said, hi, ma'am…" was his sheepish reply. "You're fucking right, that's what you fucking said." I said and continued walking.
I don't often get harrassed, and I know the common refrain is that I should be flattered that someone is paying me any attention, but that is total bullshit. It is not flattering to know that I am viewed as a walking set of sex organs. That is not a compliment.
I was walking back to my dorm today, and a construction worker called out to me, "Hi, how are you?". I responded and he came over to the fence and started talking to me. He asked if I was married, if I was looking for a man right now, how old I am, etc. I don't know why I kept answering. He told me that he wasn't from around here, that he just comes up for work. He said that he'd seen me walk past several times before, and that there weren't any girls like me where he comes from. He asked if we can just talk now and then. I told him I don't have time. And he said something about phone numbers, at which point I finally started to leave. I've been conditioned to always be polite, and I guess that was my problem here. I was starting to feel scared, from the admission that he's been watching me, to the realization that I normally have to walk by that construction site a lot. I realize that there is no reason at this point for me to be polite to this man, it's just hard to change the way I've always behaved. I'm still scared after dealing with this. And I'm frustrated that I have to deal with this at all. I'm working on finding another route in order to avoid that area, and I'm angry that this is happening.

NZ passes 1st stage of gay marriage law
Comment on this storyWellington, New Zealand - New Zealand lawmakers have cast a first vote in favour of a gay marriage law that was given impetus by President Barack Obama's public support of the issue.
Wednesday's 78 to 40 vote is the first of three Parliament must take before the bill can become law, a process that typically takes several months. Only a simple majority was needed to ensure a second vote.
Should New Zealand pass the measure into law, it would become the 12th country since 2001 to recognize same-sex marriages. Some U.S. states also recognize such marriages, but the federal government does not. In May, Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage.
Polls indicate about two-thirds of New Zealanders support gay marriage. It also has the support of most of the country's political leaders. - Sapa-AP

I got out of brewing a couple of years ago. I have 3 10gallon kegs and 4 5gallon ball locks. Last time I checked they all held pressure. I rinsed them all out but they could benifit from a good thorough cleaning. I would like to get $200 for them all, I think I got like 6 QDs around too I will toss them in too. Please email me at email@example.com.
Nice deal here. Wish i wasn't on the other side of the country.
"Retail is for suckers."
kegs are 15.5g kegs or pony kegs?
Courage les garçons, et patience, vos femmes vont finir par apprécier la bière !
one hell of a good deal. Grr i would drive 4 hrs to get those if it was closer..
oh i see you would drive up to 4 hrs
Just to clear things up, they are ball-lock cornelius style kegs. They are a large bulky item so shipping would kinda kill the deal, so I would rather not ship. I would like to sell all kegs as one lot. I know the 10 gallons kegs are kind of an "odd ball" so they weren't cheap, can't quite remember what I paid for them. But just like the 3 gallon kegs, they not really found as a surplus item like the 5 gallon kegs, so they fetch a premium. I was planning on fermenting in the 10s.
yeah, if I had the means to make it up there, I would, but I would spend enough on gas and driving around that it wouldn't be worth it. Someone will find you and buy them. I think it'd be fun to have a 10 gallon keg.
I'd love the 10 gallon kegs. If you decide to ship that is or could you drop them off in SF? I am in Portland and not driving that far for anything.
ill take them

Clickability, Inc., a Web content management system (WCM) company founded in 1999, was acquired by Limelight Networks in May, 2011.[1] Limelight Networks WCM solution provides a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for web content creation, management, publishing, and analytics. Enterprise customers include NetApp, Amcor and Cantor Fitzgerald as well as media customers NBC, Gray Television, Tribeca Film Festival, CNN, PR Newswire, The Wall Street Journal and Time magazine. Other news organizations use a subset of the company's interactive tools to augment their own content management systems.
Clickability's product, the On-Demand Web Content Management Platform, won the 2008 CODiE Award for "Best Content Management Solution."[2] It was named to the 2008-2009 Econtent 100 list[3] and was named in the 2010 Hottest San Francisco Companies list by Lead411.[4]
Clickability hosts many news service's domains using CNAME records pointing to itself, rather than a utilizing a full website with its own full domain. This is done under the "clickability" domain for the purpose of making websites unreachable if a user has ad-blocking software installed that blocks clickability's ads by blocking its domain. While this was anticipated to force users to view unwanted advertisements, in many cases it has instead resulted in the websites hosted under the clickability domain (instead of their own domain) to become inaccessible themselves. There is no easy fix for this problem at present, short of individually listing each site, or just letting them all remain blocked.
