- See, I get my exercise doing my job. Just one quick CANNONBALL! [He leaps onto Jon's stomach.]
- [to Jon, about adopting Odie] You had me, a chick magnet. And now you've got a tick magnet!
- [After he switched Jon's hash with his food and Jon eats Garfield's food] Actually, it's liver-flavored!
- [sees Odie] Another day ruined.
- [To Odie when he's being kidnapped] Odie, you're so dumb, you don't even know you're in trouble.
- This rescue work is exhausting. When do heroes get to eat?
- [repeated line] Oh, my poor nose!
- [Garfield is about to fall approximately 10 stories] You know, I think I had a nightmare about this once...
- Once again, my life has been saved... by the miracle... of lasagna.
- Hey, nobody gets to mistreat my dog like that except ME!
- [dancing] I feel good!
- Garfield: Oh, sleeping beauty, wake up! You can stop dreaming about me, because I'm here now. Just wake up. You've got work to do. You're not just my owner, you're my primary care-giver!
- Jon: (still asleep) Not now, Garfield.
- Garfield: Oh...Delicious!
- Happy Chapman: Any sign from the network yet?
- Wendell: No, but they're looking for a dog act on Good Day New York.
- Happy Chapman: Dog act?! Story of my life: looking for a dog and I'm stuck with a cat!
- Wendell: I thought the segment went quite well!
- Happy Chapman: (mockingly) "I thought the segment went quite well!" Of course it went well, you TOAD!
- Jon: (Gives Garfield some mashed up cat-food) It's liver-flavored. (Sets down his own microwavable hash-browns next to Garfield's cat food bowl)
- Garfield: (Sarcastically) Mmm, delicious...yuck! (When Jon comes back with a fork he does not notice that Garfield has taken his hash-browns and has put his own bowl of cat-food where Jon left his own breakfast; Jon takes a bite of the cat food)
- Jon: AGH!! OH, LIVER...!! (He runs to the sink and vomits)
- Garfield: (Smugly) Actually, it's liver-flavored.
- Luca: You're on the wrong side of the street, fat cat.
- Garfield: And you, Luca, the wrong side of the evolutionary curve.
- Arlene: Garfield, are you all right?
- Garfield: I think so. Luca's about to have Odie for lunch.
- Arlene: If it wasn't for Odie, you'd be Luca's chew toy.
- Nermal: Hey, look! Garfield's dancin' with Odie. They're like buddies now!
- Happy Chapman: (arrogantly) I can't go on like this anymore, Wendell. I've got to get a dog.
- Wendell: Well I think that is a lovely idea! I know you've been sad and lonely since the divorce, and I've tried to be a friend...
- Happy Chapman: Not for me you imbecile, for the act! If I could get my hands on a really talented dog, wouldn't Walter J. just choke on his Emmy?
- Wendell: (sees something) Like Odie?
- Happy Chapman: Yeah, yeah. Now he was good. He was kind of dopey-looking and spry and--
- Wendell: (sees the LOST poster) Lost? (sees Odie on the poster)
- Happy Chapman: (comes over to the window with Wendell and looks in happiness)
- Jon: (voiceover) Hi, it's Jon. I was calling to see if Odie's been over there, and... I can't find him around. My name's Jon Arbuckle, and... I can't find my dog. I look all around the neighborhood, and... I can't seem to find him. I saw him last night, but I didn't see him this morning, and... If you see him, give me a call, please. Hi, it's Jon. I was calling to see if you've seen Odie. Um, I think he's run away. I was giving him a bath last night, and forgot to put his collar back on. 'Cause, you know, Garfield hates his collar. (back at home and on the phone) He's about 15 pounds, he's brownish-yellow, with brown floppy ears.
- Happy Chapman: I believe you found my dog. He answers to "Odie"
- Mrs. Baker: Odie?
- Happy Chapman: Family name. Oh Odie! Oh come on! There you are! Yes! I can live again now. How could I ever repay you?
- Mrs. Baker: An autograph would be splendid!
- Happy Chapman: Then splendid it shall be.

Turns out, you've seen the most fascinating thing on your TV thousands and thousands of times, and you've probably never noticed it.
Artist Stephan Tillmans takes photographs of tube televisions at the exact moment they are turned off, with magnificent results.
From his official website:
The television picture breaks down and creates a structure of light. The pictures refuse external reference and broach the issue of the difference between abstraction and concretion in photography.
I have no idea what that means, but I like to think it's techie talk for "duh, winning!" Check it out below.

Thoughts of loss cemented in brain cause worry
September 17, 2012
This past weekend brought a big milestone to our household. Our daughter, Vivian, celebrated her first birthday. We had a household of family and friends on Friday night and Saturday. It was great to have everyone visiting and not be the ones driving.
Usually, it's Greg, Vivi and I who load up a vehicle and travel three or more hours to see everyone. But this time, they came to us.
After the presents were opened and the cake was demolished, everyone decided they'd hit the road. I was wishing everyone would have stayed overnight, but there were combines to fix, lawns to mow, other plans that were in place.
Following these past few weeks, covering what seemed to be one tragedy after another, I would be lying if I said I didn't have a lot of trepidation about sending my family and friends back out on to the open road.
All of us here in the newsroom have been shocked and saddened by the number of people killed in accidents involving moving vehicles. From the loss of two toddlers to those in the Blue Hill crash, each fatality accident has shackled us in a state of disbelief and grief.
Working for a small daily newspaper is usually about covering ballgames and community activities. Never in a million years did any of us sign on for this job believing that we would be making so many dreaded phone calls to give voice to the victims and share their life stories with our readers.
As reporters, we don't like making those calls, but we do them in order to pay tribute to those who passed. It's a way to start the healing process for a community reeling with sorrow and a way for the survivors to find a small amount of joy in sharing their memories of loved ones. Despite the sadness, with each story we tell, we take comfort in the fact that the communities we serve and live in are very good at holding each other up and lending support.
While I have been fortunate to not be directly affected by any of these tragedies, they still resonate deeply. Whenever something like a fatality crash happens, I put myself in the shoes of the family left behind and I am full of grief and worry. Now, with a 1-year-old daughter, the losses move me even more. I can't tell you how many times the thought of one of these horrible occurrences has moved me to grab my daughter or husband and give them a hug.
Times like these cement themselves in our brains and don't seem to disappear, so I worry every time my husband walks out the door to drive 15 miles to work and I worry every time I part ways with family and friends.
This weekend was even more difficult, as the stress and sadness of the last few weeks is taking up a lot of space in my brain.
My hugs for each of them were a little tighter and the goodbyes were a little longer.
I always tell everyone to drive carefully, but this time, it sounded more like I was pleading with them to be vigilant and cautious. Fortunately, they all obliged.

On the day before graduating from Howard Community College, Jennie Wang of Columbia considered the arduous road she had traveled and her studies at the Johns Hopkins University that lie ahead. One thought came to mind:
"If my Hammond High School teachers could see me now ..."
"If they [discover] I'm going to Johns Hopkins, they're going to be like, 'What? Jennie Wang? Really?' In high school, I was the worst student ever," said Wang, 22, who also became pregnant shortly after graduating from high school, leaving her estranged from her parents, who immigrated to the U.S. with her from China when she was 10.

Are Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt Dating?
Ever since indie darlings Zooey Deschanel and Joseph Gordon-Levitt hooked up in 2009's (500) Days of Summer, we've always thought they'd make just as cute a couple IRL. (Sure, their characters ultimately break up in the movie, but whatevs. Details, details.)
As if the gods of all that is delightful and quirky heard our prayers, Zooey and JGL teased us last winter with a New Year's Eve duet. Watch as they strum, flirt, and harmonize their way through a rendition of "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?"
Seriously, they'd be perfect for one another. Zooey, who split from her husband of two years in November 2011, tweets about the most random things, and she co-founded the artsy website HelloGiggles. Joseph started a collaborative production website, hitRECord, in 2005, and last December he edited and published a collection of tiny stories, all culled from submissions to the site. It doesn't get more adorkable than that.
Oh wait, but it does: They both sing, sometimes ironically.
Now that we've already gotten lightyears ahead of ourselves (and reality), here's the bad news: According to Joe, he and Zooey are just friends. "We've been friends for 10 years," he told Playboy Magazine in August 2012. "She's turned me on to so many movies and so much good music. It's fun just to have conversations, watch movies with her."
Even if you stopped reading after "She's turned me on," here's the kicker: Zooey's seeing someone else — Dear John and Ten Year screenwriter Jamie Linden.
And as icing on a not-so-tasty cake, she's pretty sure Joe is too busy for a New Girl cameo.
Nonetheless, we're holding out hope that these two crazy kids will come to their senses, tie the knot, and produce the most talented hipster babies in Hollywood. Dare to dream, friends.

The energy sector strategic plan and roadmap 2013-2017 paints a positive outlook for the sector that is expected to boost the growth needed to leapfrog the country into middle-income status by 2020.
Considering the promising energy projects that were born in 2013, the government plans to increase the country's installed capacity from 110.8MW to 563 MW by 2017.
This target will require an investment capital estimated at $1.8 billion to increase electricity generation by at least 100 MW annually for the next four years to sustain the expected growth across sectors.
The government unveiled a Frw 3 trillion ($4.7bn) roadmap for energy production and accessibility over the next five years. This will mainly be generated from hydro, methane geothermal, solar and peat which most of these have received funding in 2013 and are likely to push 87 MW more to the national grid by end of this year(2014).
According to Energy, Water and Sanitation Authority (EWSA), the planned power generation will comprise peat (estimated at 200 MW), methane (100 MW), hydro (63 MW), geothermal (90 MW) and solar (18.5 MW).
The plans outlines key projects such as Giciye hydro power plant (4MW), six micro hydro plants with 4MW of Shili 1, Nyabahanga, Nyirabuhombo, Mukungwa II, Janja and Gashashi, the 28MW Nyabarongo hydro power plant, the Rukarara II hydro power plant (2.2MW). In addition, 25 MW is to be obtained from the Kivuwatt methane project, 8.5 MW from the Gigawatt Global Solar Plant and 15 MW from Gishoma peat plant.
The country's energy target as well as projects has come to realization with new energy deals signed in 2013.
Last year, the government signed a €4 million deal (Frw 3.5 billion) with the Netherlands to support the electricity access rollout program. Also, the year saw the signing of the $23 million (Frw 15 billion) energy deal with a Dutch firm to develop an 8.5 MW solar power plant, and a $41.5 million (Frw 26.9 billion)agreement with the African Development Bank (AfDB) to scale up energy access projects in the country.
According to Finance Minister Claver Gatete, the financing which comprises a loan of $23.4m and a $17.9m grant will be used to upgrade Northern Province energy projects of Gifurwe to 10 MVA, as well as relocate the Rulindo substation.
The project will be implemented over a period of two years and will connect 25,438 households, 179 schools, 29 health centers and 25 sector administration offices to the grid along the distribution network areas.
In a further bid to make electricity more accessible by making it more affordable, the monthly fee of Frw 500 on Cashpower meters was also scrapped.
Last but not least, to ensure that the ambitious targets will be met, the government also decided to restructure EWSA which will once again be split in autonomous bodies for water and sanitation, and for electricity.
Private sector speaks out
In 2013, the Private Sector Federation (PSF) in its advocacy strategy and action plan also called on the government to address the challenges in the energy sector.
The plan calls for more interventions in energy production to reduce blackouts, saying that the current annual of 80 days of power outages leads to high production costs due to the fact that manufacturers have to use backup generators.
For example, key industries in the country have indicated that more than 5% of the production losses is due to power outages. According to PSF, for big industries such as Inyange and Sulfo Rwanda Industries losses amount to 5%, and even 7% for Minimex. Other manufacturing companies can't even estimate the power outage losses.
Nevertheless, PSF CEO Hannington Namara says that with the new production targets, the private sector is optimistic it will be able to get energy required to drive its growth.

Customer Reviews of Creative HN-605 Noise Cancelling Headphones
Not bad for the price1/9/2008
I bought this with a rebate on top of the low buy.com price, so the price was very low. It doesn't completely silence the drone of the airplane engines, but it does significantly reduce it, enough so that I can listen to my mp3 player without putting the volume on high (which I used to do). I have a small head, and often have problems finding headsets that fit me, but with this design, the fit is pretty good. However, as is the case with most headsets, after about 4 hours my ears start to hurt, and you can't lean your head on anything because of the bulkiness of the headset. Still, for what I paid, I'm pretty happy with the product.
Not bad for the price12/21/2007
On the airplane they definitely cut down significantly on the drone of the engines. As expected, I could still hear people talking and other noises. The battery wore down pretty fast which was kind of disappointing. For the price and performance they are worth the money, but if you want to really block out the world around you I would probably get ear bud/plug style that physically block out noise.
Noise cancelling & sound quality is good but badly12/18/2007
I have been using these head phone for the past 13 days. Noise cancelling and Audible frequency response is Ok as advertised.. But it is annoying when you get calls in your cell phone or when the cell phone sync the signal with tower the built in sensitive amp in this headset set picks up RF and make some noise for about 3 seconds. I wonder how it passes quality test in Creative Lab!
These headphones sound great!12/12/2007
Great sound, even without the rebate a good bang for the buck. Are very comfortable to wear, fold up into a compact set. I was really amazed at how much better they sound when kicking in the noise canceler, have nothing but praise for this item. Have listened to bose and there isn't a huge difference with these phones performance wise. Price wise, there is a HUGE difference. Try 'em, you'll like em! (It would have been nice if they could go up to 20khz, but I compensate by using the graphic EQ on my player to max out the highs)
OK headphones, but not really noise cancelling11/30/2007
I have tried Bose expensive headset on the plane and it does the noise cancelling much better than these. These headphones do very little noise cancelling, there is almost no difference between them being turned on and off. So they are OK headphones for the price, but I would not buy them if I really wanted noise cancellation.
Love 'em - but highs could be stronger11/30/2007
These are super comfortable and effective noise-canceling headphones. They fold up nicely and appreciate the little silky bag they come with. Work as advertised and recommend them highly. As others have noted, the higher frequencies are not as pronounced as they should be, but I'm not complaining given the very low cost, light weight, and comfort.
I have really enjoyed these earphones! It is exactly what I hoped it would be! In addition to using them for MP3 playback, I have used them for electronic piano as well. I have also used the noise cancellation by itself to help going to sleep. Excellent Choice, Great Product.
Noise-Cancelling & Sound Ok, but uncomfortable to10/22/2007
I sit all day next to computer equipment full of muffin fans. I hoped that this headset would help to eliminate that annoying sound. There was some noise reduction, so that did work. The music produced by the headphones was pretty good too (maybe a little too much bass but could compensate for that). But I could not wear these for hours on end as the pressure on my ears was very bothersome, to the point of hurting. I've requested an RMA and am returning them to buy.com and will look for a different style which can be worn for extended periods.
Not perfect but a great value10/12/2007
No these are not $300 Bose headsets. Then again I wouldn't pay another $260 to buy Bose instead of these. They are a close second. I think people expect them to be a noise "muffler" and exclude all sounds such as talking. Not even Bose does that. These use destructive noise cancellation technology to which is most effective at nulling out continuous and repetitive background noise....like inside a airliner. If you want noise muffling then use earplugs and then put these on. You'll barely hear anything then. As far as listening to music they are very good...again not perfect but for the price they are a great value. if you want an even better headset, try Creative's HN-700's. These really give Bose a run for the money.
Surprisingly nice set of headphones for the price.6/14/2007
I had a set of Noise canceling headphones that broke, and I came across this set. I was weary at first given the low price, but decided to get them anyway. I was really surprised when I received the headphones, the form factor is great, the AAA battery fits right on to the headset, and not as an attachment to the Cable as in a lot of other headsets. The carrying pouch was nice as well. The sound quality is actually very good for the price, although I'd say that the bass can be a bit high at times, though that can be easily fixed with an auto equalizer that can be found in most mp3 players. Overall, I'm VERY happy with the purchase and would definitely recommend it to others.
Still too much noise6/13/2007
These are knock-offs for a more famous and effective other maker ear muffs. Ten percent of the cost, ten percent of the effectiveness. Easy to use, nice sack, battery, and comfortable but I could still hear the kid two seats over on my flight talking. The more annoying thing is the Come-on Rebate You need to wait for the item to arrive, download and fill in a form, a receipt, enclose a UPC code and mail it all before a certain date and wait 6 weeks. If I see the check I'll laugh.
Good headphone6/12/2007
I bought this headphone before a trip and would like to use it on the plane. The noise cancelling really worked, and I really liked it. For $19.99, it is a steal. The only problem I had was that the battery that came with it was dead, which made me think at first that the headphone might be defective.
Not worth it at any cost6/4/2007
The sound produced by these headphones is terrible. I get better quality sound from $10 headphones. Also, the noise canceling is non-existent. This is a very poor product and is not up to the standards of Buy.com.1 Helpful | 1 Not Helpful
Decent headphones for the price6/4/2007
I have a few noise canceling headphones (Bose quietcomfort2, Awai HP-CN5) and these sound pretty good but there is a little bit of noise in the background. Also there is a slight muffle to everything. Makes music more full but can be annoying when watching a movie or show. Still I like these headphones because they are very comfortable with the inner elastic strap. My last pair were the same style (on the ear/over the ear) but would start to hurt the top part of your ear lobe. For the price and comfort of these headphones I gave it an overall 5 and 1 point off for performance as these have that muffled effect all the time and slight noise when using the canceling.
Great noise reduction at a low price6/2/2007
I purchased two of the HN-505 headphones from buy.com. Since I do not see the 505's here, I am adding my review to the 605's. I hope they are of the same high quality as the 505's. I am very pleased with the 505's. After rebate the 505's were $15 each. For that price I did not expect much. When I first got the headphones I tried the noise reduction feature by standing next to my noisy dishwasher. To my amazement the headphones eliminated most of the dishwasher noise. On my recent road trip they eliminated most of the wind and road noise. My six year old daughter commented that she liked wearing them because they "made her ears comfortable." She said this while she was not listening to anything, just enjoying the noise reduction. I did the same and enjoyed the quiet. They were very comfortable to wear and easily adjusted to fit my big head as well as my kid's little heads. We also enjoyed wearing them as we listened to music, a book on tape, and DVD's. They worked very well with all three types of media, eliminating the road noise while delivering clear audio. I also bought a pair of $30 Audiovox noise reduction headphones (model ACC114) for the trip. The Creative Lab headphones beat the Audiovox headphones in all areas. The noise reduction was much more effective. The Audiovox headphones reduced the road noise, but seemed to introduce a bit of their own noise in the process, so the overall effect was less reduction and more remaining white noise. The 505's were much more comfortable to wear and they folded down compactly while the ACC114's did not. Based on the assumption that the 605's have the same noise reduction technology, and the fact that they look similar to the 505's I intend to buy two pairs of the 605's so the whole family can enjoy them on the next trip. Also, I received my rebate checks from Creative after about 5 weeks with no hassle. Get a pair and try them for yourself!
Good price, noise reduction good not great5/30/2007
The price value is good for these headphones. They are larger than I had expected so they are not good for exercizing/jogging etc. However in a car or airplane they were very good.

An Advocate for Change
Will Nevius '09 continued his civic engagement after graduation by heading to the nation's capitol.
Will Nevius '09 was already a community activist when he came to Willamette, but his college experience further honed his leadership skills.
AIDS awareness was an important cause to him, so, with administrator and faculty support, he and several other students created a new organization to rally their Willamette peers behind the issue.
Following a long line of other student-created initiatives that includes the Bistro coffee shop and the rugby team, Nevius and his peers co-founded a campus chapter of the Student Global AIDS Campaign (SGAC), a grassroots movement dedicated to ending the pandemic. Nevius served on the organization's national board in Washington, D.C.
Between being a member of Willamette's Council on Diversity and Social Justice and the Oregon Student Equal Rights Alliance, Nevius also found time to intern in the state senate majority leader's office.
"As a politics major, it was priceless to have the state Capitol right across the street," Nevius says. "When something exciting was happening at the Capitol — a fun vote or a contentious floor session — it was just a crosswalk away."
After graduation, he headed back to D.C. to work on health care and energy policy with the Center for American Progress — and he credits his Willamette education with helping launch his political career.
"Willamette cultivates an environment where you can really pursue things that you're excited about. People are here with purpose, and that is what I value."

Coach Williams can be reached via email at email@example.com or in her office at (202) 687-3828.
Arlisa Williams enters her ninth year as the head coach of the Georgetown University volleyball program in 2014. In her first eight seasons at the helm, the Hoyas have posted a 83-131 record with a 26-71 mark in BIG EAST Conference action.
The Hoyas finished above .500 in two consecutive seasons, going 14-13 overall in 2011. Georgetown's 2010 team finished with over 15 wins for the first time since 2004, when the Hoyas went 17-12 and won nine games at home.
Under the direction of Williams the Hoyas experienced one of the biggest turnarounds in program history in 2008, improving by nine victories overall and six victories in conference, finishing 14-13 overall and 7-7 in the BIG EAST. It was the Hoyas' first above .500 finish in four seasons and their best finish in conference since 2002. Georgetown's 2008 recruiting class was named a PrepVolleyball.com high honorable mention (Top 65) and paid dividends as Victoria Rezin was named BIG EAST Freshman of the Week for Sept. 16, the first honor earned since the Williams era. Since 2008, three of the last four recruiting classes have been recognized by PrepVolleyball.com.
In 2008 Williams helped guide three additional players to individual success, as former two-time All-Conference player Vanessa Dorismond, Caitlin Boland and Kit Niesen all spent time in the NCAA Women's Volleyball Division I top 50 in hitting percentage, assists and block totals respectively.
In addition to growth on the court, Williams' teams have thrived in the classroom. Georgetown volleyball has produced 22 BIG EAST All Academic team selections since Williams took over in 2006. Georgetown volleyball earned the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award in 2007, 2009, 2010, and 2011, as the team maintained a grade point average (GPA) over 3.3.
She arrived on the Hilltop after a successful four-year stint as an assistant at the University of Florida, where she helped the Gators reach two Final Fours and led them to its first appearance in a national championship game in 2003. Two years later, Florida finished 33-3, its third 30-win season in the four years. In addition, she coached players who combined for 14 All-America honors and 19 All-Southeastern Conference honors.
While at Florida, Williams was the program's recruiting coordinator, bringing in two consecutive classes that were rated among the top-10 in the country. In her first full year as recruiting coordinator, Williams' class was ranked No. 2 in the country by PrepVolleyball.com, and she followed that up in 2005 with a class that was rated No. 10, quite a feat considering no other top-10 team had less than three commitments and the Gators had only two.
Prior to her stint at Florida, Williams helped guide American University to an impressive 52-8 record during her two seasons at the school. The Eagles went 14-0 in the Patriot League in 2001 and earned the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, just one year after winning the Colonial Athletic Association conference title.
Before working at American, Williams served as a graduate assistant coach at Virginia Tech during the 1994 and 1995 seasons, earning a master's degree in education and student personnel services.
Williams earned a bachelor's of arts degree in African-American studies in 1993 from the University of Wisconsin, where she was a standout middle blocker for the school. She was a three-time All-Big Ten selection (1990-92) and a two-time All-Region honoree (1990-91). In 1990 Williams was a member of the U.S. Olympic Sports Festival team that earned a gold medal.
During her final year with the Badgers, Williams broke the school's block record, kill record, and block solos record. Today, she still ranks in the top five of several career records: third in blocks (618), fourth in kills (1,495), third in total points (1,955.5), and first in block solos (162). Williams was a member of Wisconsin's 1990 Big Ten Championship team and was a captain in her senior year. She was selected to the All-Big Ten First Team in 1990, and selected to the All-Big Ten Second Team in both the 1991 and 1992 seasons. She also garnered AVCA All-Mideast Region honors for first team in 1990 and second team in 1991.
A native of Washington, D.C., Williams spent her formative years in Louisville, Ky. where she played for the Kentuckiana Volleyball Association and graduated from Kentucky Country Day School. Williams resides in Washington, D.C. with her husband Simon and two sons, Alexander and Sebastian.

Do we hear of Muslim-French, Asian-English, Italian-German, Jewish-Canadian? Of course not!! In no other country are people referenced by their ethnic heritage or religious affiliation. It just plain sounds STUPID.
My opinion is that politicians, to promote identity politics, have used the hyphen to engender support and feed the victim mentality--to increase power. The idiocy of "multiculturalism" divides us and focuses on differences. There is nothing wrong with preserving cultural heritage but hyphenating identity is divisive and harmful to our future.

Adult Chocolate Milk Cupcakes
Sometimes, when people think "out of the box" they end up hitting the jackpot! This is exactly what happened when Kimberly, owner of After Hours Cupcake Bar here in AZ, decided to operate a bakery making cupcakes containing alcohol. Yes, you heard that right– ADULT CUPCAKES! How can this be bad? We are talking about two of my favorite things– booze and baked goods! Don't bother calling to order Elmo cupcakes for baby's first birthday, because Kimberly is bakin' for Mommy and Daddy!!!
I recently met Kimberly at a charity event for Quarters for a Cause here in the East Valley (AZ). We immediately saw the synergy between Adult Beverage Company and her alcoholic cupcakes! She immediately went to work perfecting some recipes for us. She now features Adult Chocolate Milk in her Chocolate Monkey cupcake. And, she was awesome enough to create and share an easy "make at home" version of her recipe. We featured this cupcake today on Sonoran Living Live and will share this recipe here as well. So here goes:
Chocolate Monkey Cupcakes Infused with Adult Chocolate Milk
(Using Box Cake Short-Cut )omit water, use egg yolks, and add the Adult Chocolate Milk Liqueur ™, Banana Liqueur, Whipped Vodka, and Cream De Cocoa buttermilk instead of water. 4. Fold in egg whites until incorporated into batter. 5. Using a standard-size ice cream scoop; fill each cupcake liner with batter, about two-thirds full. 6. Bake as directed on box or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean. 7. Transfer the pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Tip: For a lighter/fluffier and always moist cupcake, separate the eggs as instructed. This is especially important when using a box cake mix.
Icing Directions: 1. With hand or stand mixer; on Low Speed, mix together ½ the confectioners' sugar, dash of salt, butter, Adult Chocolate Milk Liqueur ™, Banana Liqueur, Whipped Vodka, Cream De Cocoa 2. Continue to mix on low speed and slowly add the remaining sugar till desired consistency is reached. 3. Increase speed to high and beat for another 3 minutes. 4. Pip icing on cupcakes, drizzle chocolate syrup over icing, dip banana chips in melted chocolate (cool until hard) and place on top of frosted cupcakes. (Makes about 2 dozen cupcakes)

Actually I liked the national geographic one with dillhole himself. According to that chi master, wiggling my toes can negate his chi blast. My tounge in a random position can nullify the chi and oh yeah non believers are not affected by the chi. So basically his touchless knockout only works on people who are willing to be knocked out. BRILLIANT!

The Bachelorette
Jef Holm Bro-ing Out With Chris Bukowski in Chicago!
You better watch out, Arie Luyendyk, Jr. — Chris Bukowski is making a move on your best bro, Jef Holm! It looks like Chris and Jef were livin' it up together in the Windy City last night. A pro at mixing business with pleasure, Jef was in town representing People Water at the Chicago International Model United Nations (CIMUN) Conference.
Arie doesn't seem too jealous of Chris, though. In fact, he went out of his way to warn Chris that Jef might get a little too rowdy:
With all these meetups and Arie's upcoming appearance in the premiere of Sean Lowe's season of The Bachelor, the dudes of The Bachelorette Season 8 sure do seem to be thick as thieves. Hot, eligible, Bieber-and-One-Direction-loving thieves.

This picture shows a poster of Salafist Sheikh Ahmad al-Assir and singer Fadel Shaker in Bab Al Tabbaneh, Wednesday, June 26, 2013. (The Daily Star/Antoine Amrieh)
TRIPOLI, Lebanon: A brief clash erupted Wednesday between Lebanese soldiers and a group of gunmen in Tripoli, north Lebanon, over a poster of Salafist Sheikh Ahmad Assir.
A security source said the fight broke out in the predominantly Sunni Muslim neighborhood of Bab al-Tabbaneh after gunmen tried to put up a poster depicting Assir, a firebrand preacher who remains at large, and singer Fadl Shaker, who gave up his singing career to follow the sheikh.
The source, who spoke to The Daily Star on condition of anonymity, said that during the clash gunmen opened fire at a Lebanese Army post in Bab al-Tabbaneh. No casualties were reported.
The Lebanese Army quickly contained the fight and brought the situation under control.
Hundreds of gunmen were on the streets of Tripoli Monday in solidarity with Assir whose fighters fought fierce battles with the Army in Abra, east of the southern city of Sidon.
The gunbattles near Sidon came shortly after Assir gunmen attacked a Lebanese Army checkpoint in Abra Sunday.
Soldiers stormed Assir's complex in Abra Monday, just after the preacher fled the premises.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1,338HP Cobra! 2003 Ford Mustang Cobra is The Dominator
Ultimate Street Terminator: Nicholas Shortridge went from bolt-ons to ballistic with his stealthy twin-turbo Texas terror
If you've never driven a Terminator, you owe it to yourself to get behind the wheel of one at least once. Sure they are overshadowed by the horsepower of modern Mustangs. However, they are really the cars that ushered in the sort of easy bolt-on power that we enjoy from today's 'Stangs. It's easy to vividly remember your first drive in the first factory supercharged, six-speed Mustang. These cars were cool and they still carry that rep today, for good reason.
"I was hooked on getting an '03 Cobra after I spent a weekend terrorizing the streets with a friend," Nicholas Shortridge confessed. "My first experience was with a ported blower, 100-shot-of-nitrous, drag-radial Cobra. It was the most fun, easiest bang-for-the-buck straight out of the box."
When you whet your appetite with a Terminator that already has a stout roster of bolt-on performance enhancers, you are really setting the stage for wanting a car and wanting to mod it in a hurry. Nicholas finally picked up his first '03 Cobra in 2005, and it already had a ported blower onboard and it was putting down 500 hp to the street. That might be enough for some, but not Nicholas. Yet, he had to be patient and wait to finish college before he could really start in on the car the way he wanted to.
His real start at modding had a serious launch. It began with a single-turbo kit. "...Built it in my garage. It was a great kit and it made 650 wheel (horsepower) and hurt some feelings—especially those cocky C6 Corvette guys," he explained. "It was great to make 650 wheel with A/C and power steering, and anyone could drive it. After getting bored with 650, I moved to Texas for work and the car took on a new life."
They say things are bigger in the Lone Star state. Apparently things get bigger when they move to Texas too—including car builds and horsepower numbers. Upon arriving there, Nicholas picked up a daily driver and turned his Cobra into a full-on project car.
These cars were cool and they still carry that rep today, for good reason.
"I was hooked on getting an '03 Cobra after I spent a weekend terrorizing the streets with a friend."
As you can see, it got more aggressive—far more aggressive. Of course, when you start flirting with the bleeding edge, it's best to rely on people with experience. To that end, Nicholas commissioned HPP Racing (www.hppmotorsports.com) in Lewisville, Texas, to construct a stroker modular based on the heralded Teksid aluminum block. They put together a stout 5.0-liter modular that lives in the car to this day.
"HPP Racing built this motor four years ago," Nicholas raved. "I think I made the right decision. It belted out 1,338 wheel without missing a beat."
Of course, it takes more than a built 5.0 to roll deep into the four-digit range. Nicholas loved turbos but believed a big single was intractable for the street. He really wanted twins, and he wanted to keep the creature comforts. For this task, he turned to CG Fabrication (www.cgfabrication.com).
"Making power has never been a problem since going turbo. The package was just never well-rounded or streetable," Nicholas explained. "This turbo kit was built custom for my car, but it is now sold to anyone. Retaining all the accessories is impressive for a kit that is capable of 1,500-wheel horsepower."
Capabilities are one thing, but getting a built motor and a custom turbo kit to play nicely together on the street and the track is no small feat. The Terminator electronics are not nearly as advanced as those found in modern 'Stangs, and even those would struggle to do what Nicholas asks of his car's EFI. He simply wants to rein in 1,000 on the street and over 1,300 at the track.

Mass. man says Brazilian husband denied US asylum
BOSTON A gay Brazilian man has been denied asylum by the Obama administration and won't be reunited with his Massachusetts husband in the U.S., the husband said Monday.
Tim Coco said Attorney General Eric Holder did not act on a Friday deadline in the case of Genesio "Junior" Oliveira, effectively denying the 30-year-old Brazilian man's request for asylum in the U.S. on humanitarian grounds.
"We needed the Attorney General to make a decision on whether Junior could come home," said Coco, 48, of Haverhill. "He didn't take this request seriously."
The Justice Department did not immediately return messages.
In 2002, Oliveira had sought asylum in the U.S. because he said he was raped as a teenager in Brazil. But an immigration judge denied his request, and Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich said in a letter that Oliveira repeatedly remarked at his hearing that he "was never physically harmed" by anyone in Brazil. Coco, however, said Oliveira was referring to street beatings and wasn't clear during his hearing about the harm he faced because of the rape.
The Associated Press does not typically name rape victims, but Oliveira speaks openly about his case and allows his name to be used.
Oliveira returned to Brazil in 2007 after losing an appeal. Before he left, he and Coco married in Massachusetts in 2005 and bought a house together.
According to federal immigration law, immigrants also can apply for residency if they marry U.S. citizens. But the federal government does not recognize gay marriages under the Defense of Marriage Act, and Oliveira's request to remain in the United States based on his relationship with Coco was denied this year.
In March, Sen. John Kerry asked Attorney General Eric Holder to grant Oliveira asylum on humanitarian grounds.
Kerry spokeswoman Brigid O'Rourke said Monday that the senator will continue to work toward a solution that would reunite the couple for good.
"The fact is that if Tim and Junior were a heterosexual married couple, they would never have suffered through more than two years of separation," said O'Rourke.
Coco said he thought there was "no way" the Obama Administration would deny Oliveira's asylum request after Kerry made his plea to Holder.
"We are profoundly sad," said Coco. "This is more than any married should have to face."
The case comes as Obama tries to smooth a rocky relationship with gay activists, who want him to end the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays, which he has pledged to do but hasn't given a timeline. Tens of thousands of gay rights supporters marched in Washington earlier this month, demanding Obama keep his promise to end the policy.
Coco said he has spent about $250,000 in legal bills and hasn't seen Oliveira since January, though the two video chat online every night.
Oliveira was denied a visa to return to Massachusetts last year for the funeral of Coco's mother.
Oliveira now lives with his mother, helping her run a boarding house for students.
Coco said the couple plans to launch a legal challenge against the federal Defense of Marriage Act as a violation of immigration laws.

Beluging, modeling in Beluga!
Beluga language was developped under the "Change & Symmetry Model" of Information, and it is sometimes referred as
IChange (info-change) code. The model inspires planning and programming by reactions (eg. H2O water), structure (eg. ice crystals), conservations (eg. sea levels), and cyclic interdependence (eg. wave propagation).
Beluga was created as an experimental coding language to solve a particular validation problem in 2002, later grew into an academic research till 2008 and is now available in the cloud thanks to Google. Developed for an industry specific need in telecom protocol-validation, the Beluga code and interpreter expanded later in the academic arena formalizing the underpinning physics-inspired model of information. From its origins as a quick-prototyping method and language, users consider now Beluga code as an easy-to-use language from generic planning to detail implementations.

I wanted a darker cup than our Assam but without getting that murky smokiness that can be associated with English Breakfast. For me, English Breakfast is a tea to be taken with milk so it has to be strong enough to hold up well. I did not however, want to loose the sweetness that one gets from a pure high-quality India tea. Most English Breakfast teas include less expensive "blending teas" from other origins.

Grab and grade with the Pro Clamp system
New clamp system offers grading tool to maximize excavator efficiency
Bobcat Pro Clamp system
The new Pro Clamp� system from Bobcat Company can grab large, odd-shaped material and efficiently perform grades � often on the same job � and is approved for use with eight Bobcat� excavators.
With the Pro Clamp system you can also turn an excavator into a rough or finish grader, as well as a backfilling and leveling machine. The Pro Clamp system consists of a base that attaches to the excavator arm and is equipped with pin-on adjustable standard tool or reversible grading tool. Both tools can be easily removed if desired to maximize visibility into trenches and provide unlimited bucket curl, for example, when reaching above truck height when loading material.
1. Grab larger material
The standard tool�s adjustable design allows it to be pinned in a position that provides traditional grabbing performance similar to the existing Bobcat excavator clamp. For greater performance, it can also be pinned at a higher point on the base to provide a wider jaw and more aggressive grabbing action for handling bigger material such as larger-diameter utility pipe, boulders and logs. The tool also offers greater range to follow the bucket farther toward material rollout.
2. Clean trenches faster
The 24-inch Pro Clamp grading tool is reversible, allowing for dual functionality.
With the grading tool pinned in the forward position, it provides a smooth cutting edge on the bottom of a trench that eliminates the need for a second smooth-lip bucket. This allows you to dig with cutting teeth while still maintaining the ability to get a smooth flat trench. When the grading tool is pinned in the reverse position, it is designed for faster transitions from cleanup areas to dump trucks by removing spoil piles quicker and reducing manual shoveling.
3. Expand your versatility
Designed for optimum functionality, the reversible Pro Clamp system conveniently pairs with buckets to give you greater versatility for a wide range of applications:
- � Construction and demolition
- � Site development
- � Logging operations
- � Landscaping
- � Utility installation and repair
- � Property maintenance

Unpaved road through Serengeti to progressJeremy Hance
July 02, 2011
To read more about Tanzania's recent announcement related to the Serengeti road: Richard Leakey: 'selfish' critics choose wrong fight in Serengeti road.
"The Serengeti road project has not been abandoned...we have just revised it. I don't know where all this confusion comes from," Maige told Reuters. "The project is still there without a shadow of a doubt. But the road will be unpaved, so there will be no tarmac road or highway traversing through the Serengeti National Park."

According to critics, the road would not only imperil the migration, but would devastate tourism to Tanzania. Currently, around 150,000-200,000 people visit Serengeti National Park annually. A recent study in the open-access journal Tropical Conservation Science found most tourists come to see wildlife, especially big cats. This is bad news for tourism as a government analysis warned the road would impact big predator populations in the park due to a decline in prey base. In addition over half of the 350 tourists interviewed said they would not return to the park if more roads are constructed.
Yet there is one major change in the road plan that has given critics some hope: access will now be managed by the Tanzanian park authority (TANAPA) instead of the government's highway agency.
"The original plan was to excise a whole strip of the Park and place it under the Tanzanian road authority. And that decision, perhaps the most important of all, has been rescinded," Dave Blanton of the NGO Serengeti Watch told mongabay.com. "In short, there was enough assurance from the Tanzanian government that the World Heritage Center has kept the Serengeti off the List of World Heritage Sites in Danger."
Maige confirmed that game rangers would be given authority regarding road management.
"The road will be closely supervised. TANAPA will put up gates and carry out regular patrols to ensure no harm comes to the wildlife population as a result of vehicles that will be allowed to pass through the road."
The government's announcement stated that the road would be used mostly for official capacity and tourism. Yet, there will be undeniable pressure to open it up for commercial and general public use.
Blanton says this isn't the victory that was initially reported, though the Tanzanian government does deserve some credit for the changes to the plan.
"We are grateful for the government's decision. We are grateful to the World Heritage Committee, the Frankfurt Zoological Society, and especially those in Tanzania who worked to make this happen. And we're grateful for the international community that came to the support of the Serengeti. But we are not celebrating. We've dodged a bullet, and we've been given more time."
The gravel road will pass through largely unused parts of the park, which have been categorized as off-limits even to tourist vehicles.
"A key issue is for the government to follow its own, excellent 10-year Serengeti Management Plan. This plan designates the northern area as Wilderness and Low Use Zones, restricting use largely to official traffic,'" Blanton points out. Currently, only walking safaris are allowed in the area.

Blanton says funding and building the southern route is 'the most important step now' to preserve the Serengeti.
"This route is preferable to the northern route for maximum social and economic development. And it will allow a relief valve for traffic, present and future, that would travel through the Serengeti itself. The government letter says it was 'seriously considering' this. We need to support this effort and make sure it is accomplished. Otherwise, we've not gone forward," he argues.
While ostensibly the road has been pushed as a way to link up far-flung communities, Tanzania is also targeting a route to bring raw materials from the African interior to the coast for shipment abroad.
"The underlying threats are really the cause of this latest crisis, which was just a symptom of them. The people of Tanzania need better lives, more opportunities, and development," says Blanton. "Their population is young and growing. These pressures demand that the great natural areas Tanzania has set aside must pay their own way. There are great geopolitical forces operating in East Africa. There is oil in Uganda and the Sudan that will need an outlet, primarily destined for China. There are gold mines around the Serengeti. Countries like the Congo, Rwanda, and Burundi are landlocked and need ports for their minerals. All this will play out in a massive way in the coming years. The Serengeti is in the middle of all of this."
In an effort to boost GDP, President Kikwete is also pressing to mine soda ash in the world's most important breeding ground for lesser flamingoes, Lake Natron, and build a new sea port on Mwambani Bay, which critics say imperils a marine park established to preserve the living-fossil, the coelacanth.
The UNESCO World Heritage Committee meeting also granted Tanzania the go-ahead to downsize Selous Game Reserve by 34,532 hectares (less than 1 percent of the over 5 million hectare park) in order to mine for uranium.
The proposed road would cut through the northern end of Tanzania's Serengeti. AWF has proposed a southern route circumventing the ecosystem in its entirety. Map by the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF). Click to enlarge.

How do tourists view the Serengeti?
(06/27/2011) Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, an immense expanse of East African savanna, is a world famous tourist destination because of its plentiful megafauna, particularly the great migrating herds of wildebeest. Yet despite huge visitor numbers and the annual revenue of millions of US dollars, local poverty and increasing population continue to imperil the reserve. A new study in mongabay.com's open-access journal Tropical Conservation Science found that while tourists to the Serengeti overall report a high degree of satisfaction with their trip, they are concerned about the future of the ecosystem.
Serengeti road cancelled
(06/23/2011) In what is a victory for environmentalists, scientists, tourism, and the largest land migration on Earth, the Tanzanian government has cancelled a commercial road that would have cut through the northern portion of the Serengeti National Park. According to scientists the road would have severed the migration route of 1.5 million wildebeest and a half million other antelope and zebra, in turn impacting the entire ecosystem of the Serengeti plains.
From the Serengeti to Lake Natron: is the Tanzanian government aiming to destroy its wildlife and lands?
(04/14/2011) What's happening in Tanzania? This is a question making the rounds in conservation and environmental circles. Why is a nation that has so much invested in its wild lands and wild animals willing to pursue projects that appear destined not only to wreak havoc on the East African nation's world-famous wildlife and ecosystems, but to cripple its economically-important tourism industry? The most well known example is the proposed road bisecting Serengeti National Park, which scientists, conservationists, the UN, and foreign governments alike have condemned. But there are other concerns among conservationists, including the fast-tracking of soda ash mining in East Africa's most important breeding ground for millions of lesser flamingo, and the recent announcement to nullify an application for UNESCO Heritage Status for a portion of Tanzania's Eastern Arc Mountains, a threatened forest rich in species found no-where else. According to President Jakaya Kikwete, Tanzania is simply trying to provide for its poorest citizens (such as communities near the Serengeti and the Eastern Arc Mountains) while pursuing western-style industrial development.
Serengeti road project opposed by 'powerful' tour company lobby
(03/16/2011) Government plans to build a road through Serengeti National Park came up against more opposition this week as the Tanzanian Association of Tour Operators (Tato) came out against the project, reports The Citizen. Tato, described as powerful local lobby group by the Tanzanian media, stated that the road would hurt tourism and urged the government to select a proposed alternative route that would by-pass the park. Tato's opposition may signal a shift to more local criticism of the road as opposition against the project has come mostly from international environmentalists, scientists, and governments.
First International Serengeti Day hopes to halt road project
(02/23/2011) On March 19th the conservation organization, Serengeti Watch, is planning the world's first International Serengeti Day to celebrate one of the world's most treasured wildlife ecosystems. But the day also has another goal: bring attention to a Tanzanian government plan to build a road that would essentially cut the ecosystem, threatening the world's largest mammal migration. "The proposed road will be a major commercial route that cuts across a narrow stretch of the Park near the border with Kenya. It goes through a wilderness zone critical to the annual migration of 1.3 million wildebeest and 0.7 million zebras, antelope, and other wildlife. This will involve extracting a strip of land from the Park itself, resulting in both the fragmentation of the ecosystem and the removal of the Serengeti National Park from the list of UN World Heritage Sites," said David Blanton, co-founder of Serengeti Watch, in an interview with mongabay.com.
Leaked government study: road will damage Serengeti wildlife, despite president's assurances
(02/10/2011) Tanzania's President, Jakaya Kikwete, today gave promises that his proposed road project, which will bisect the Serengeti plains, would not hurt one of the world's most famed parks and one of its last great land migrations. "The Serengeti is a jewel of our nation as well as for the international community. […] We will do nothing to hurt the Serengeti and we would like the international community to know this," Kikwete said in a statement reported by the AFP. However, a government environment impact study, leaked to the conservation organization Serengeti Watch, paints a very different picture of how the road will damage the Serengeti. The report includes warnings that the road will 'limit' the migration of the plains' 1.5 million wildebeest and 500,000 other herbivores including zebra.
Scientists: road through Serengeti would likely end wildebeest migration
(02/02/2011) A new study finds that a proposed road cutting through Serengeti National Park would likely have devastating consequences for one of the world's last great migrations. According to the study the road itself could lead to a 35% loss in the famed park's migrating wildebeest herd, essentially cutting the herd down by over half a million animals. Despite such concerns, and the availability of an alternative route that would bypass the Serengeti plains altogether, the Tanzanian government has stated it is going ahead with the controversial road.
World Bank offers to save Serengeti from bisecting road
(01/31/2011) The World Bank has offered to help fund an alternative route for a planned road project that would otherwise cut through Tanzania's world famous Serengeti National Park, according to the German-based NGO Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU). When announced last year, the road project raised protests from environmentalists, scientists, and Tanzanian tour companies, but the Tanzanian government refused to shift plans to an alternative southern route for the road, thereby bypassing the park.

"Repurposing" winning TV shows on stage with "Ballroom With A Twist"

A couple of years ago, the network executives discovered a new word. It was "repurposing." It was used to describe the networks taking their shows and using them elsewhere, for ratings and profit, of course. The shows usually showed up on various media platforms and electronic devices.
Well now there's been a clever "repurposing" of three ratings-powerhouse TV shows, but sans the high-tech. The enormous talents that have gone into making Dancing With The Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, as well as American Idol, have pooled their skills to present "Ballroom With A Twist." It is a stage production that just premiered at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood. And it is a high-energy musical showcase filled with dazzling dancing.
It was conceived and choreographed by Louis van Amstel, the Dancing With The Stars pro, who acts as host, along with rotating celebrity co-hosts such as Jane Seymour and Niecy Nash.
From a production point of view, the show is ground-breaking, taking the top performers from the TV competitions and showcasing them. Basically, bringing the essence of the hit shows directly to the people live on stage, so it becomes a personal experience for the audience. Stunning costumes, music, staging, and lighting are also part of the impressive production package.
In addition, "Ballroom With A Twist" boasts an ensemble that includes dancers from High School Musical The Movie and Dance Your Ass Off. Providing live vocals are American Idol finalists David Hernandez and Gina Glocksen. The featured dancers are Edyta Sliwinska, Alec Mazo, Jonathan Roberts, and Anna Trebunskaya from DWTS; and Randi Lynn Evans, Gev Manoukian, and Jonathan Platero from SYTYCD.
The creative force behind the show is van Amstel, who directed, produced, choreographed, and performed the Broadway show "Latin Fusion." And it looks like "Ballroom With A Twist" would also be comfortable with a "repurposing" on Broadway.

Jersey Shore
Which Jersey Shore Star Got Busy in the Kitchen For Her Man?
All of the Jersey Shore girls are paired off these days, but we doubt all of them are whipping up homemade meals for their other halves.
"My fiancé is making dinner! @snooki. #fianceoftheyear," Snooki's man Jionni LaValle tweeted yesterday (December 5).
As for how the reality TV mama feels about preparing food for her hubby-to-be?
"...Getting better at not burning the house down lol."
Snooki also made dinner for Jionni on Jersey Shore Season 6, and even though she thought it was a failure, we're sure she'll be a master chef with all of this practice!
Catch the next new episode of Jersey Shore on Thursday, December 6 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

The Starkville Academy girls' basketball team hopes their prep is good enough to beat Jackson Prep.
That's the team that stands in the way of the Lady Volunteers today and a date in the finals of the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools Overall State Tournament. The semifinal matchup begins at 1 p.m. on the campus of Mississippi College in Clinton.
The Lady Vols and Lady Patriots split the two regular season games, each winning on their home court.
Prep also knocked SA out last year.
"We have put a lot of time for a year," Starkville Academy head coach Glenn Schmidt said. "We are not looking for revenge, instead we are going to play our game and try and win. We would like to make that (loss to Prep) right. It's not because it is Prep, but because it is a good time to do it. It is good motivation for us."
The past three games, the Lady Vols have found themselves down entering the fourth quarter.
Schmidt doesn't have an explanation as to how her team keeps pulling it out.
"Determination and confidence," Schmidt guessed as to how her team keeps coming from behind. "They never quit and they keep playing. They find a spark and rally behind that to win the game."
The Lady Volunteers have the same gameplan for most every game they have played in this year. That doesn't look to change.
"Nothing specifically," Schmidt said of changing her gameplan. "(Prep) has changed defenses over the past couple of games. We are going to make some adjustments offensively for that."
SA spreads the basketball around and the scoring.
Senior Julianne Jackson led the Lady Volunteers with 15 points in their first round win over Bowling Green (La.) School. Junior Tiffany Huddleston scored 14 points. Both players came of the bench.
"That makes a good team," Schmidt said. "Anybody (on our team) can do what it takes to win."
