We've just had the front drive renovated. The gravelled drive goes right across a very wide house. The front of the house faces NNWish and gets only the late summer sun. I would like to put around three/four tubs by the house (Norfolk cream bricks) to break the horizontal drive/house line. We are in rural Norfolk and the front drive can get very cold and windy. I need ideas for plant/shrubs (various heights for under windows and between) that will look reasonably good all year round and not need too much maintenance as I have a very large garden as well - I can do the basics but I'm not a brilliant gardener Thank you
I've grown Maskotka before and found the fruit good, although a little bigger than some cherries. I'd wanted to switch away from the cordon variety to save a bit of space while growing Legend beefsteak tomatoes. Now I just want to grow cherries with flavour Maybe I'll grow a few less plants next year - most of the cherries end up in chutney anyway !
Thank you all for your replies I'll have a look at the Black Cherry - and keep the Sungold as my reserve for next year
Thanks for the reply I read on another website - 'Tomato Growing' (recommended on here last year, I think) that it was better to feed tomatoes at a reduced strength, but more often ! So that's what I have been doing As for ripening, I am trying to pick them when they are red, but as they didn't taste as nice as I hoped I thought maybe they weren't ripe !
I've grown Sungold in the past - maybe I'll go back to them next year.
My cherry tomatoes are now ripening - this year I've tried Tumbling Toms. So far I am a little disappointed with the flavour. I have been leaving them on the kitchen window-sill to make sure that they are ripe, but the flavour/juicyness isn't what I hoped. Am I doing something wrong or was it a bad choice ? I water every day and fertilise once/twice a week. I have tried several other varieties in the past, but as I grow in pots in the greenhouse and a lot of room is taken up by the other 'Legend' variety, the Tumbling Toms seemed to be a good idea. What are people's preferences for the best flavour cherry tom ??? Thank you
My thanks too, Greg - I'll wait until they are ripe and hope that they taste good
We planted a Jubilee plum tree in autumn 2009. This is the first year that any fruit has survived this long However all the fruit is covered in what I can only call brown scabs. A few fruit are just starting to ripen. Are any of them going to be edible and what is the problem ?? We did put 'sticky' paper around all the fruit trees last winter. We are in Norfolk, UK. Thank you
Thank you all for the suggestions ! The Sea Buckthorn looks interesting, but we really don't want anything prickly, I'm afraid. The Aucuba japonica looks very interesting so I'll try to see if they have it at our local gardening centres to get a better look. Thanks again for the suggestions.
I'm not sure whether this is the right place - but here goes ! At the back of our small field we have an area of approx. 40' x 20' that has 6 poplar trees growing (there are more poplars running along the boundary a few feet behind this. Previous owners had planted Christmas Tree saplings under these 6 poplars, but these had rapidly got far too tall and we have now grubbed out the last few. We would like to replant something under the poplars to make a bit of a screen/windbreak amongst the poplar trunks, but wouldn't want anything taller than around 4/5 feet tall and must be capable of growing under these trees. It's a fairly windy location in good light apart from the poplars. The area will be left to grow fairly wild as at one side we have a massive wood pile left for animals/insects etc. Any suggestions ?? Thank you
I'm just about to clear a raised bed that has had mange-tout in. I'm about to plant my onion sets, but have been reading contradictory advice about using compost/manure etc before planting onions. Thoughts please

EVANSVILLE - Nut Club distributes $165,600 to local causes
The West Side Nut Club distributed $165,600 to local nonprofit groups during its annual Founder's Day held Tuesday at Burdette Park's Discovery Lodge.
Despite some of the worst weather seen in recent years during the October Fall Festival, the club's largest fundraiser, the Nut Club was able to pinch pennies on expenses during the year to maintain its accustomed level of support for community organizations.
"(The weather) did make a major impact, but the guys cut budgets and lowered all kinds of expenses this year to make sure this night is possible and at the level it is, and I just want to thank the membership for all it's done," said Dan Lewis, Nut Club president.
Contributions this year ranged from $1,500 to local PBS station WNIN, to more than $100,000 for city schools.
In addition to the monetary contributions announced Tuesday, club members refurbished the Howell Park Miniature Golf Course and Clubhouse at a cost of $4,000 and several hundred hours of donated labor.
Over the years, the Nut Club has donated $4,131,273.80 to various charities benefiting the Evansville community.
Donations announced Tuesday were $1,500 to WNIN; $2,000 to German Township Fire Department; $2,000 to Perry Township Fire Department; $2,500 to Historic New Harmony; $2,500 to YMCA; $2,500 to Burdette Park; $3,000, to Holly's House; $3,000 to Easter Seals; $3,000 to Evansville ARC; $3,000 to West Branch Library; $4,000 to CASA; $4,000 to Wish Upon a Star; $5,000 to Boys & Girls Club of Evansville; $6,000 to University of Southern Indiana athletics; and $7,500 to Riding Hope.
Schools receiving money were $12,500 to Evansville area high schools; $28,800 to Evansville West Side parochial and Lutheran grade schools; $28,800 to Evansville West Side public grade schools; $20,000 to Mater Dei High School; and $20,000 to Reitz High School.

Surgeon pioneers stem cells for sports injuries
| January 10, 2014
Photo By Provided by Houston Methodist Sugar Land HospitalIn this photo provided by Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Maffet, right, stands with physical therapist Toko Nguyen and patient Amy Statler, whose knee injury was treated with stem cells.
Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Mark Maffet, of Houston Methodist Orthopedics and Sports Medicine, is using stem cells to accelerate healing and recovery after surgery, pioneering the therapy in Fort Bend County.
"Stem cells are found in bone marrow, blood and various types of tissue," according to a release from the Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital. "Because they can differentiate into specialized cells and continuously divide, stem cells act as a repair system for the body and can replenish damaged tissue."
Stem cells can develop into other types of cells and help repair damaged tissue. Maffet has applied the treatment to knee ligament and shoulder rotator cuff repairs.
The Houston Methodist Sugar Land Hospital is at 16655 Southwest Freeway.

Early Church History and Protestant Professors in Nineteenth-Century America
In this deeply researched and illuminating monograph, Elizabeth Clark examines the development of early church history as an academic field in the U.S.
Inmates and seminarians study together
Vanderbilt was not the first school to offer theological education in a prison. But it did pioneer the approach of having seminarians learn in company with prisoners.
Ministry in the 21st century
"What would happen," asks Carol Howard Merritt of Western Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., "if we coupled baby boomers' prophetic focus with the pragmatism of my generation? What if the church unleashed us to plant churches?"
I'm a part-time student at a denominational seminary, where I'm working (very slowly) on an academic-track masters. It's generally been a good experience, but the school's not a perfect fit. Again and again, professors and coursework assume a ministry context.
Reenvisioning Theological Education: Exploring a Missional Alternative to Current Models, by Robert BanksToward the end of this critique of the theory and practice of theological education Robert Banks provides his readers with an extended quotation from Karl Barth. In a speech, Barth said this of theological institutions:
International engagement
Abraham haunts me. When I wrote my first Faith Matters column in 1997, I began with those three words. At that time I was in transition—moving from Maryland to North Carolina, and from a faculty position teaching undergraduates at Loyola College in Maryland to a position as dean of Duke Divinity School.
Ready or not, here comes change
If church leaders had the chance to fashion a seminary from scratch, what would it look like? Would it have its own campus? Would it be tied to a denomination or be fully ecumenical? Would the classical academic subjects be taught and, if so, how would that learning be correlated with the work of forming spiritual leaders and training them in the practice of ministry?
The Century's work relies primarily on subscriptions and donations. Thank you for supporting nonprofit journalism.

Nigerian tourism industry stakeholders comprising hoteliers, tour operators, aviation experts, travel agencies, tourism writers, among others, have consoled the Ibru family over the demise of Alex Ibru, publisher of The Guardian newspaper.
In a condolence letter presented to Goodie Ibru, immediate elder brother of the deceased and chairman, Ikeja Hotels Plc, in his office at Sheraton Lagos Hotel and Towers by representatives of the industry, the group noted that the death of Alex at this time of the country's national and tourism development, of which he was a major contributor, was indeed a deep loss to all.
Speaking on behalf of the group, Chief Mike Amachree, noted that the Nigerian tourism industry shares in the loss because of those lives the deceased had helped to shape in so many ways through his various engagements with humanity in the 66 years that he lived.
Describing him as a man of great achievements who used his resources to bring succour to people and organisations, Amachree noted that Alex pioneered a vibrant media enterprise, developed creative talent and created jobs through the establishment of The Guardian over 20 years ago.
Besides, the Ibru Centre, an ecumenical centre Alex set up,has for years, helped to foster socio-cultural and religious cohesion among Nigerians, according to Amachree.
Furthermore, the delegation also noted that Alex would be remembered by his huge investment in the hospitality sector of the tourism industry in conjunction with Goodie, his brother, and his effort in shaping the development of the tourism trade that now earn the practitioners respect from the international community and visitors to the country.
In his response, Goodie said it was a heart-felt condolence and honour from his constituency. "I appreciate your outpouring of affection for my departed brother, Alex. He had been ill, but it was a time he was almost recovering that death came. It is a great loss to the entire Ibru family, his employees, and Nigerians at large."
Other tourism stakeholders at the condolence visit included Ike Uko, publisher, African Travel Quarterly, organiser of Akwaaba Travel Market; Ayo Olumoko, CEO, Infogem Nigeria; Charles Ukommadu, former Secretary General, Federation of Tourism Association of Nigeria (FTAN); Godwin Nwachukwu, erstwhile Executive Secretary of the National Association of Nigerian Travel Agencies (NANTA); Oladele Coker and Ayo Olowoporoku, both of Hotel Support Global Services Limited; Mrs. Fatima Garbati of the Consumer Protection Department under the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA); Wale Odeyemi of the National Institute of Hospitality (NIHOTOUR) and Andrew Iro Okungbowa of The Guardian, among others.

Castle's Kate Beckett Makes ET's Top 10 Best Dressed TV Characters
Three cheers for Castle costume designer Luke Reichle. The one and only Kate Beckett just landed on ET's list of Top 10 Best Dressed TV Characters, clocking in at No. 5 just behind Glee's Rachel Berry and Pretty Little Liars' Aria Montgomery.
New York City's most alluring homicide detective has experienced quite the transformation throughout the past five seasons, and she currently looks hotter and more stylish than ever.
"The work wardrobe is always grounded in who Beckett is, and who she is, is a very interesting, complex woman," Luke explained in an exclusive interview with Wetpaint Entertainment. "I never want to go [with] dead-on cop clothes with her because it just doesn't, for me, reflect the color of the character, or the nature of the show itself."
So what does Luke try to convey through Beckett's wardrobe? A combination of personality traits, ranging from feminine to rock star with a little bit of hardcore. And, according to Luke, there's always that "kick ass element."
"I really see her shopping everywhere," he told us. "She's shopping in New York, all over town. To me, Beckett is the epitome of high/low shopping."
What do you think of Kate Beckett's wardrobe? Does she deserve to be called one of TV's best dressed characters? Tell us below!

RIAA Finally Begins Their Court Battles
After naming 20,000 people as being copyright infringers, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), has finally gotten their first day in court.
Thanks to the intrepid reporting of Ars Technica, there is an excellent account of the first half of the day's proceedings out-and-about for everyone to read.
The case of Capital Records, et al v. Jamie Thomas started off with jury selection this morning, which went fairly quickly, and included questioning of perspective jurors over their knowledge of music downloading. One woman was excused for saying the record companies were worrying too much about the act, but most of the other jurors got through with little resistance.
As with any court case, the opposing counsels presented their opening arguments, laying the most basic groundwork of what they planned to cover. The plaintiffs, while saying Thomas has illegally shared 1,700 songs over KaZaA, are going after only 25 of the files shared. There is some discrepancy over what dates some communication was sent, which factors in to the defendants stance, and no evidence beyond IP and MAC addresses as to who was actually operating the account that the RIAA had targeted.
After opening statements, the plaintiffs called their first witness, Jennifer Pariser, the head of litigation for Sony BMG. Ms. Pariser set the stage for how damaging downloading is to the music industry, and concluded the morning session by demonstrating how the sound qualities of legal and illegal files are exactly the same.
The case is expected to wrap up by Thursday before it is handed over to the jury to decide the ultimate outcome. We will attempt to keep you updated as things proceed.

Fireworks: North Korea test-fires 2 short-range missiles
Good morning, people. How about some missile tests with your coffee:
North Korea test-fired two short-range missiles on Thursday, further stoking tension in the region that was already high due to Pyongyang's nuclear test and threats to boost its nuclear arsenal in response to U.N. sanctions.
North Korea fired two surface-to-ship missiles off its east coast that flew about 100 km (60 miles) and splashed into the sea, a South Korean defense official said.
A South Korean daily said that the secretive North may also test fire mid-range missiles in a matter of days.
Washington said this week it had tightened its crackdown on firms linked to the North's lucrative proliferation of missiles, a major source of cash for the destitute state, and has sent the U.S. point man for sanctions to Asia for discussions.

Bill Clinton Talks About His Game
On Playing With Michael Jordan and Padraig Harrington; His Dream: A David Feherty Interview
Bill Clinton loves golf. Also, as some in his native Arkansas might put it, he can talk the hind legs off a donkey. So it probably shouldn't have been a surprise that his first words to a group of reporters assembled in his Harlem office Thursday, even as he continued to circle the table shaking hands, were these: "One of my great dreams in life is to do an interview with Feherty. He's one of the funniest men alive." The reference was to David Feherty, the CBS and Golf Channel commentator, not present.
The reason for the gathering was the William J. Clinton Foundation's new initiative, in partnership with Humana Inc., the health insurer, to co-sponsor the PGA Tour's Humana Challenge, formerly known as the Bob Hope Classic, in La Quinta, Calif. But the pleasure came from hearing the former president rattle on about golf.
"My best year as a golfer was the first year I got out of the White House. I got down to a 10 handicap. But I'm not close to that now. I just don't play enough," he said, citing frequent global travel for his various causes.
On a recent trip to Haiti, he ran into George W. Bush. "He was ragging me. He said, 'I'm down to a 10 now,' " Clinton recalled. If Bush wanted to keep his handicap there, Clinton says he ragged back, "you're just going to have to resist the temptation to do good. You start traveling and it will wreck you."
Golf skeptics may be amused by Clinton's attempt to link golf and health, especially those who remember those "Saturday Night Live" skits from the '90s depicting the president dropping by McDonald's while jogging to wolf down a few Big Macs. But Clinton these days is a near-vegan. He said his main violation is the occasional piece of fish, at the urging of his "fitness freak" daughter, Chelsea. In the wake of two heart surgeries, Clinton, 65, has lost 25 pounds and appears fit. "I just decided I wanted to hang around as long as I could," he said.
The notion of linking a golf tournament to an issue, rather than to charity (though some charities will still benefit), represents a new sponsorship model for the PGA Tour. Next year's Humana Challenge, Jan. 19-22, will be built around a weeklong health-and-wellness conference whose objective is to publicize the benefits of healthy lifestyles and to change behavior.
It's something of an experiment. "No one has found the magic formula yet," acknowledged Mike McCallister, Humana's chief executive. But given eight years to work with, Humana and Clinton hope they can find ways to nudge the needle.
As a boy growing up without much money in Hot Springs, Ark., Clinton said he sometimes caddied during the PGA Tour's annual tournament in the area. Back then, he noted, the pros did not look like athletes. "They looked like everybody else in Hot Springs," he said.
These days, by comparison, many of the top players are physical studs. "A couple days ago I had a humbling experience playing a round of golf with Padraig Harrington, who is a marvelous guy. But, God, he looks like he could play professional football," Clinton said.
That image is important to the connection Clinton and Humana hope to make between health and golf. "If you ask somebody why has average driving distance gone up, they'll say it's the equipment that's better. And that's true. But I would argue far more than the equipment is how seriously these players take fitness. It's a different world. They're professional athletes in a different way," he said.
Clinton loves playing golf with athletes whenever he can. He's played with Greg Norman, Adam Scott, Luke Donald and Michael Jordan, among others. Jordan coaxed him from the white tees to the championship tees by saying, "You're going to play from the little girls' tee?" Jordan's challenge was for Clinton to break 100; he did.
He follows the professional game. Last week, for example, he was rooting for Bryce Molder, who won the Frys.com Open in a playoff against Briny Baird for his first career win. When Clinton was president, he played a round with Molder, then a player at Georgia Tech. "He shot 59," Clinton said. "I realized if he ever got his mojo going, he'd be good." (Molder's score was actually a 60, but what's a stroke or two here and there?)
He also played with President Obama last month: He says he shot 92 but didn't play well, and said his younger, less experienced playing partner beat him. "He might have won by a shot or two...he hits an excellent shot."
In these partisan times, Clinton disagrees with Hank Williams Jr.'s view that political enemies shouldn't hit the links together. "Golf brings people together," he said. "Once you actually see somebody as a human being, it becomes impossible to disregard what they have to say, and you might learn something. I think it's really important."
After the formal meeting broke up, Clinton told one last story, about hunting for lost golf balls with his dogs. On walks near his home in New York's Westchester County, he frequently heads for a part of the woods that borders a private golf course.
"I don't know why I do this, because Lord knows I have all the golf balls I can use and the money now to buy more. But I take a little basket with me, and a tool to clean off the balls we find. I've got at least a hundred now," he said with a laugh. "It reminds me of when I was 12."

Repeat Direct Plus loan borrowers who have already completed a Federal Direct Master Promissory Note for previous years need to complete step 1 and 3. No PLUS Loan will be processed until a valid credit approval has been received by the Dept. of Education. After the initial application, steps 1 and 3 will need to be completed for each additional PLUS Loan request.
Please note that this step in the process is NOT the Promissory Note, it is an application where you provide information for the Credit Check to be done by the Dept. of Education. Click on the above link "Complete the Plus Loan Application" or go to www.studentloans.gov Once there, sign in with your FAFSA pin and other information, then click on "Request a PLUS Loan". The FAFSA pin for this process must be of the Parent borrower and not the student.
STEP 3: Complete your PLUS Loan Entrance Interview online Per Federal Regulations, all Plus borrowers must complete a Grad Plus Loan Entrance Interview before the loan can be certified. Click on the link below and follow the instructions for the Graduate Plus Entrance Interview.
Step 4: Complete your 2014-2015 Graduate PLUS Loan Certification To finalize the loan process you must complete and return the loan certification to the Office of Student Financial Assistance. You may download and print this document using the link above.
The Act also eliminates the upfront rebate for all Federal Direct Loans. Starting July 1, 2012, Federal Direct Unsubsidized loan disbursements will have a 1.073% origination fee, and Federal Direct PLUS loans will have a 4.292% origination fee applied at disbursement.
When you apply for a Federal Direct Grad PLUS Loan, the U. S. Department of Education will check your credit history. To be eligible for a Grad PLUS Loan, you must not have an adverse credit history. If you are found to have an adverse credit history, you may still borrow a Grad PLUS Loan if you get an endorser who does not have an adverse credit history. An endorser is someone who agrees to repay the Direct Grad PLUS Loan if you do not repay the loan. The endorser may not be the student on whose behalf a parent obtains a Direct PLUS Loan. In some cases, you may also be able to obtain a Grad PLUS Loan if you document to our satisfaction that there are extenuating circumstances related to your adverse credit history.
As of July 1, 2010 the federal government has eliminated the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program. All student and parent loans will be originated through the federal government's Federal Direct Loan program. Students who have previously borrowed through a lender under the FFEL program will need to sign a new Master Promissory Note (MPN)with the federal government in the Direct Loan program for all loans disbursed after July 1, 2010.
The Federal Direct Grad Plus Loan Program requires a 4.292% origination fee. The U. S. Department of Education deducts the fees before you receive any loan money, so the loan amount you actually receive will be less than the amount you have to repay.
To find out more information on interest rates for Direct PLUS Loans, contact the Direct Loan Servicing Center at 800-557-7394.
**Attention Graduate Students**
Per Federal regulations, You MUST be enrolled/registered for at least 3 credits per term/semester in order for your Federal Stafford Loan or your Federal Grad Plus loan to disburse.

Are you tired of games, drama and the club scene? Me, too. Let's discover each other in a new environment that promises a mo
I am an honest guy with somewhat of a shy streak that tends to fade away once I warm up to you. Laid-back and easy-going, I prefer to go with the steady flow of things as opposed to paddling like mad against them. I have outgrown the bar and club scene and really desire to find a woman of depth and substance with whom I can share in many experiences, taking ordinary moments and creating extraordinary memories along the way. Whether dressing up for a night on the town or chilling out at home on the couch watching a movie, I am content. When you are with the right person, anything can be fun. It's all in your perspective. It doesn't take a lot to make me happy. I am not one to rush through life. I want to enjoy every moment. Should my life ever flash before my eyes one day, I want to make sure it's worth watching. Sure, I have a steady job and am serious about my professional life, but I keep a good balance and do not let work consume me. I seek a woman of equal focus and steadfastness in life. While I could write a laundry list of desirable traits and expectations in a partner, those cannot stand on their own if she is not loving, honest, trustworthy, and open to new adventures. I look for genuine beauty that naturally flows from the inside out.

307 Main St, Kansas City, MO 64106
I was told there were no savory options, so I got a sweet beignet which was good, but more of a dessert than lunch. Then I saw online there are savory ones that are gf. Oh well, next time I guess.
704 E 12th Ave, Emporia, KS 66801
Incredibly knowledgable and friendly.

Went in to order and the manager noted that although crust was GF all sauces and toppings were not. Appreciated the honesty but have no idea why they would advertise gluten free.
7198 Renner Rd, Shawnee, KS 66217
The gluten free crust is awful. I would rather eat the cardboard box it comes in. I appreciate them trying but this one is a complete miss.

Coastal Bend H.S. football previews: Zero week
COASTAL BEND - A look at this weekend's Coastal Bend high school football games:
CARROLL at PORT LAVACA
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Carroll 4-7, Port Lavaca 12-1
Next week: Flour Bluff at Carroll; PLC at La Vernia
The scoop: Calling it the "most difficult season" in his 16-year coaching career, second-year coach Tony Trevino tries to get Carroll to rebound from last year's record, the worst for the Tigers in almost a decade. It won't be an easy start against Port Lavaca, a team that reached the Class 4A Division II region semifinals a year ago. Sophomore Brian Mendez should get the start at QB and he has RB Charles Miles and WR Chris Salinas at his disposal. The Tigers are stacking their talent on defense, which should be interesting against the Sandcrabs, who return only one offensive starter. Port Lavaca's defense is the strong point at this stage, with all-district honorees S Trey Robinson, CB Dustin Snider and DB-FB Jakorius Williams in tow.
KING at FLOUR BLUFF
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: King 7-4, FB 8-5
Next week: King vs. Moody; FB at Carroll (Buc)
The scoop: Lack of experience is the early knock on King. Yet that doesn't preclude lack of talent among the returnees and transfers. The Mustangs are seeking a third consecutive Class 5A postseason appearance. QB Bronze Jackson has a couple of transfer WRs in J.J. Dallas and Kiki Hill for targets, as long as he gets the time to find them. The Mustangs emphasis on defensive speed will get a true test against the fleet Hornets, who are looking to build toward a ninth consecutive 4A playoff spot. QB Kolton Mims is healthy after an injury-riddled season and a large group of young, talented players who were seasoned with playing time last year because of other injuries return. If the offensive line rounds into form, the Hornets could be explosive. With seven starters returning, defense should lead the Bluff early.
CALALLEN at MERCEDES
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Calallen 13-2, Mercedes 4-7
Next week: Weslaco East at Calallen; Mercedes at Hidalgo
The scoop: Another year meant another deep postseason run for Calallen, which reached the state semifinals for the second consecutive season and 10th time overall under coach Phil Danaher. For the Wildcats to make their 28th consecutive trip to the playoffs, they have a long road to maneuver with a large group of untested players. T Dillon Vaughan, G Jake Baca and C Sean Vickers give Calallen a base up front for QB Andrew McCurley, who gets the job full time. Five defensive starters, headed by DT Dylan Duff, LB Trevor Moses and DB Austin Castillo. The Tigers, who needed an overtime win over Roma in the final district game to reach the postseason, were eliminated in bi-district by Calallen 46-10. Mercedes returns QB Isaiah Garza, who accounted for 2,100 total yards a year ago. Garza threw for 151 yards and a TD in last year's loss to the Wildcats.
LAREDO LBJ at GREGORY-PORTLAND
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: LBJ 6-4, G-P 6-5
Next week: LBJ at Roma; G-P at Alice
The scoop: The Wolves posted their best record in the school's eighth year of competition in 2011. They tied with Eagle Pass for fourth in District 29-5A but their 28-14 loss to the Eagles was the tiebreaker for the Division II playoff spot. QB Eric Garay leads an offense that returns nine starters. Gregory-Portland junior RB Devin Bisby (1,588 yards, 17 touchdowns) figures to be the offensive centerpiece. But second-year coach Matt Anastasio knows diversifying the offense will be key and last year's QBs, senior Brandon Gonzales and junior Tanner Geiser, along with HB Ryan Starcher, will be entrusted with that chore. DB Mickie Erwin, NG Albert Barrientos and DEs Diego Tabera and Bubba Dawson will key the defense.
TULOSO-MIDWAY at SINTON
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: T-M 0-10, Sinton 9-2
Next week: Miller at T-M; Sinton at Yoakum
The scoop: Experience is one thing the Warriors have. Success isn't. But first-year coach and T-M grad Brian Boone is banking on 13 returning starters to turn around things. Speedy RBs Maclovio Reyes, Kyle Smith and Tyler Smith give the Warriors some big-play ability. Senior QB Jonathan Jefferson has impressed but also is slated for DE duty and Boone is hoping someone can step into the signal-calling role to spell the 6-foot-5, 230-pounder. Sinton, meanwhile, has the experience and success, having reached the playoffs in four consecutive years under coach Tom Allen. RBs Keith Garcia and John Gabriel Guzman and QB Tyler Handson pace seven offensive starters while DBs Derek Shedd and Andrew Mercier lead the defense.
ALICE at LAREDO ALEXANDER
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Alice 4-7, Alexander 12-1
Next week: Gregory-Portland at Alice; Alexander at Zapata
The scoop: A rematch of last year's opener won by Alexander 62-20. That set an ominous tone for the Bulldogs, who averaged 40.2 points per game before losing to eventual Class 5A Division II runner-up Cibolo Steele in the regional semifinals. While the Bulldogs return only six starters, WRs Xavier Scaggs (1,800 total yards) and Xavione Scaggs provide big-play potential. DBs E.J. Garcia and Jesse Serna return to a defense that allowed only 14.2 points per game. Alice QB Oscar Resendez has the starting role and RBs Juan Gonzales and Preston Valenzuela return. In front of them are three returning linemen. The Coyotes are searching for stability up front but are solid with LBs Leo Adams and Joe Hernandez and DBs Lukas Aguilar, Joe Ryan Rea and Anthony Rodriguez.
ROBSTOWN vs. MILLER (at Buc)
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Robstown 0-10; Miller 4-6
Next week: Aransas Pass at Robstown; Miller at Tuloso-Midway
The scoop: Health is the key for Miller, which had a major setback last season when QB Tyrell Clay was lost for half the year. But Clay is good to go, and the Bucs, with 14 starters back, are heartened by the emergence of a couple of receivers — Daishon Bryant and Trey Grant — to ease the burden off WR Jesse Franco, who had 30 catches last season. LB Jesus Loredo has staked his claim as defensive leader for Miller, and coach Remy Rodriguez said DB James Whiteside has had an outstanding offseason. Robstown coach Ricky Gonzalez wanted to open with Miller and Clay, getting a team he is familiar with from district play last season and facing a player he called "one of the two best kids in the entire county." Look for SS David Vargas, who has been outstanding in scrimmages, to be tasked with slowing down Clay. But Gonzalez said his team's chances of improving this season and opening strong hinge on the basics — play smart and eliminate the miscues.
MOODY at WEST OSO
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Moody 2-8; West Oso 3-7
Next week: Moody, bye; Riviera at West Oso
The scoop: The Cantu era begins at Moody with much anticipation. There's new coach Mike Cantu and his son, Michael, who transferred from Carroll and will be the new starting quarterback. The younger Cantu, at 6-foot-4, threw for nearly 2,000 yards last season as a sophomore. The Trojans return their top three receivers, offering Cantu a few options. That should test West Oso and coach Eric Luster, who is in his second season at the school. The Bears' strongest defensive unit improved when Kile Lewis, much to Luster's surprise, rejoined the team. Lewis teams with Donovin Beasley and Jac Ques Roberson to form a fine secondary. That's needed as the team will be without DE Patrick Hernandez this week after he sustained a sprained ankle. Lewis also can push Ruben Saldivar at quarterback and move outside and become one of Saldivar's top targets. But Oso's identity will be its revamped offense, running the I-formation with Justin Perez providing the moves and speed and Billy Luster supplying the punch.
RAY at ROCKPORT-FULTON
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Ray 2-8; R-F 6-5
Next week: Ray vs. Beeville (at Buc), Saturday; Rockport-Fulton at Kingsville
The scoop: Anthony Resendez took the QB spot at R-F, with coach Huey Chancellor opting to keep Ray Allen, Resendez's competition for the job, strictly at safety. Resendez will be tasked mainly with handing the ball to Isaiah Mendiola, who had nearly 1,400 rushing yards last season. Expect Mendiola to test a Ray defense that returns 11 starters but yielded more than 40 points and 277 rushing yards a game. Texans coach Cody Simper said his team is getting the feel for the system, which is a positive for QB Marcus Mosley, who threw for 1,600 yards and ran for 300 more, but was interception-prone at times. He will be tested by Allen and DB Joey Jasso, who should return from an injury in time for the opener. The Pirates, however, will be without OLB Matt Berckmoes along the retooled front seven after Berckmoes sustained a knee injury, making his availability week-to-week.
KINGSVILLE at BEEVILLE
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Kingsville 5-6, Beeville 6-6
Next week: Rockport-Fulton at Kingsville; Beeville at Ray
The scoop: Reclassified as a Class 3A team this season, Kingsville should do well in its third season with Robert Wilcox as coach. The Brahmas have built some momentum with a playoff appearance last season in 4A and return QB John "Bam" Houston after accounting for 1,824 yards of offense. Kingsville gave up almost 35 points per game defensively but seven returning starters should help shore that problem. Defense, too, is a focus for Beeville, which surrendered almost 38 points per game but still reached the postseason for the first time under coach Troy Moses. TB Eric Rosales has an experienced line to block for him and young QBs Cameron Kremers and Tanner Trevino may wind up sharing the play-calling duties.
REFUGIO at INGLESIDE
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Refugio 15-0; Ingleside 9-2
Next week: Edna at Refugio; George West at Ingleside
The scoop: Can the scoreboard keep up with what is expected to be an offensive onslaught? Refugio, the Class 2A-Division II state champs, averaged just shy of 60 points a game and set the state's single-season scoring mark with 891 points. Ingleside set a school record with 564 points, averaging more than 51 a game. A few of those responsible for the numbers return. The Bobcats' Travis Quintanilla and the Mustangs' Tristen Barajas are two of the area's top quarterbacks, with the two combining for more than 7,000 yards and 95 touchdowns last season. Some of the complementary pieces needed replacing with Quintanilla losing Cory Brown, Lynx Hawthorne and Shiloh Whetsel, while Barajas is without the McHugh twins — Matt and David — and Austin Barajas. But fear not. Refugio still has Malcolm Franklin, Draigon Silvas and Marcus Thompson to rack up the points and yards, while running back Marquise Barrolle will ease pressure from Barajas, and Skylar Shugart, Terrance Robinson, Jordan Stone, J.D. Rodriguez and Christian Britt give Barajas plenty of targets.
ODEM at ORANGE GROVE
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Odem 6-6; OG 8-4
Next week: Odem at Taft; Orange Grove at Raymondville
The scoop: Both teams will break in new quarterbacks, but there is a gap in experience between the two. Sophomore Hunter Rodriguez will get the start for Odem, trying to fill the shoes of Zach Anderson, who rushed and passed for 4,000 yards combined last year. OG coach Jerry Bomar has been impressed with Ruben Lopez, a converted running back who had more than 1,000 total yards last season. Lopez is taking over at quarterback for Zach Arnold, who had 2,100 passing yards last year. Ricky Martinez, used sparingly last season as running back, has flourished in the offseason in Bomar's estimation and gives the Bulldogs an extra dimension.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Bandera 1-9, George West 7-5
Next week: Devine at Bandera; George West at Ingleside
The scoop: George West is trying to build on last year's playoff campaign and with nine starters back on each side, the Longhorns figure to be a stout squad with high expectations. Starting QB Brady Jones and RB Bobby Torres, who cracked 1,000 yards last season, are back, along with four offensive line starters. Bandera has won one game during the past two seasons and figures to be in the rebuilding phase.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Aransas Pass: 5-5, Van Vleck 1-8
Next week: Aransas Pass at Robstown; Van Vleck, bye
The scoop: The second Gary Davenport era commences tonight as the winningest coach in Aransas Pass history makes his official return to the sidelines. The Panthers dropped from Class 3A to 2A and the move could suit them well as they went 4-0 against 2A teams last year. QB ErikJohnson and RB William Butler are experienced performers who'll lead the offense. Van Vleck dropped its final seven games last year, with the closest margin being 14 points.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Bishop 1-9, Riviera 9-2
Next week: Santa Gertrudis at Bishop; Riviera at West Oso
The scoop: Bishop will be looking for an offensive leader to emerge after QB Dillon Gonzales' broken scapula during a scrimmage likely has him out for the year. It's a tough break for a team trying to shake off two tough seasons. RB Nate Gant and FB Roy Saenz will be looked to fill Gonzales' void. Riviera has a new sideline boss with former defensive coordinator Teddy Carrier taking over as head coach. He has 18 lettermen — including 11 seniors — to work with, so the Seahawks figure to build on their strong 2011, with leaders such as QB Ryan McKee and RB Cody Salinas.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Falfurrias 3-7, Hebbronville 2-8
Next week: Falfurrias at Freer; Hebbronville at Ben Bolt
The scoop: This game pits programs hoping to keep making strides. Falfurrias has suffered some lean seasons of late, but has many players with loads of game experience, which the Jerseys hope pays off this year. Senior RB Marcus Cortez figures to be a go-to guy. Hebbronville has a new coach in veteran Don Davis, who has implemented a Double-Wing offense that should give the Longhorns a different look from many area teams.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Banquete 7-4, Mathis 7-3
Next week: John Paul at Banquete; Mathis at Skidmore-Tynan
The scoop: Banquete played for a district championship in the final week of the regular season last year and wants to build off that run with 21 lettermen back. The Bulldogs return eight starters each way, so there figures to be little drop-off from last season. Dual-threat QB Ben Benavides and RB Jacob Gonzalez will lead the ground game. Mathis has dropped to the 2A ranks after a strong 2011 in 3A despite a small enrollment. Only three starters return on offense, with Anderson Rubio moving from WR to QB, so it may take time for the Pirates to hit their stride.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: La Feria 7-3, San Diego 7-4
Next week: La Feria at RGC La Grulla; San Diego at Eastside Memorial
The scoop: San Diego quietly had a very strong season last year, cranking out more than 4,000 yards rushing as it won the school's first district title in 18 years. RB Luis Lopez, a 2,000-yard rusher last year, is back and figures to be the Vaqueros' lead horse again. However, expect a more diversified offense if San Diego expects to make waves in the postseason.
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Three Rivers 7-5, Skidmore-Tynan 5-5
Next week: Smiley at Three Rivers, Skidmore-Tynan at Bishop
The scoop: These teams open the season in a state of transition. Three Rivers has dropped from Class 2A to A, a move that should help an already competitive Bulldogs squad that has seven starters back on each side. Skidmore-Tynan has a new coach in Russell Joy, who's installed a Power-I offense. The Bobcats have eight starters back on offense and nine on defense, which may help make Joy's job a bit easier.
BENAVIDES at FREER
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Benavides 3-7; Freer 4-6
Next week: Benavides, bye; Falfurrias at Freer
The scoop: Freer returns 14 starters, and coach Scott Smithey said the atmosphere was upbeat. Junior Cadena has a grip on the quarterback spot and has a handful of experienced linemen up front. The Buckaroos have been dinged up with Smithey holding nine players out of the team's final scrimmage. Defensive end Robert Salazaar's broken hand will sideline him this week, but he should return for the next game. The Eagles are searching for their first playoff appearance in eight seasons, returning 13 starters. Daniel Gonzalez, who starts on both the offensive and defensive lines, is a key player.
BRUNI at SANTA GERTRUDIS
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Bruni 7-5; SGA 2-8
Next week: Monte Alto at Bruni; SGA at Bishop
The scoop: Bruni returns 15 starters from last season's playoff team and including the player who led the balanced offensive attack — QB Oliver Chapa. SGA is trying to build its program, which has won four games in three seasons. The good news for the Lions is they return 18 starters and 24 letter-winners from last season.
JOHN PAUL II at TAFT
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: JP 8-3; Taft 4-7
Next week: John Paul at Banquete; Odem at Taft
The scoop: Taft had a very young team last season, but made the playoffs, boding well for this year. The Greyhounds plan on using alternating quarterbacks to run the spread. JP also was a playoff program last year, and returns more than half its starters. While there is some rebuilding in spots, the offensive line returns intact and with plenty of depth to help the Centurions.
BEN BOLT at AGUA DULCE
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Ben Bolt 9-2; Agua Dulce 1-9
Next week: Hebbronville at Ben Bolt; Agua Dulce at Bloomington
The scoop: New Agua Dulce head coach Robert Beard faces off against the program he helped for seven seasons as an assistant. Beard said his new players have been receptive to the changes, and he will stress a pass-first offense behind returning QB Dakota Deaver. Beard said the season could hinge on Deaver's pass protection, with LG Xavier Garza and RT Julian Aguilar being the cornerstones of the line. Bears knows just what awaits his new team — Ben Bolt returns 15 starters, including QB Frank Galvan, who directed the offense last season, and LB Ivan Gonzalez, who was last season's Class A Defensive Player of the Year.
BLOOMINGTON at WOODSBORO
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Bloomington 1-9, Woodsboro 2-8
Next week: Agua Dulce at Bloomington; Woodsboro at Leakey
The scoop: Neither team is coming off particularly memorable seasons. After blanking Woodsboro in last year's season opener 6-0, the Bobcats lost their final nine games by a combined 418-55 score. Their district losing streak sits at 51 games. RB-LB Ian Thompson is the Bobcats' top returnees. The Eagles scored 136 of their 142 points in their final four games, splitting them to gain a sense of momentum entering this season. Seventeen starters return, including QB Tyler Quesada, TE Jacob Nesloney, DE Jared Martinez and LB T.J. Garcia.
PETTUS at SHINER ST. PAUL
When: 7:30 p.m.
Last year: Pettus 9-3, Shiner St. Paul 11-3
Next week:
The scoop: Pettus begins the Dan Garza Era, after Garza moved over from Skidmore-Tynan. The Eagles are missing a bulk of their offense from last year's playoff team, but Casey Jones is back at receiver. Shiner St. Paul returns nine starters on each side of the ball from last year's team that made it to the TAPPS state finals and beat Pettus 28-24. QB Dakota Kresta returns after throwing for 2,446 yards and 26 TDs a year ago. RB Adam Hollenbach (99-648, 9 TDs) also returns.

Rated 4.6 out of 5�by 22 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5�by Kennyj Can't figure it out????? I bought two 17 hmr rifles, two sets of scope rings, and two sweet 17 varmit scopes from Dick's on the 16th of October, got them home, mounted the scopes, and was boresighting the rifles and low and behold, one of the scopes is blurry and the other is crisp and clear, now remember they are both identical, can't figure it out.. I recommend that you ask the store clerk if you can remove the product from package and check it out before you purchase. October 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Troy All I can say, is wow! After going through 3 other scopes on my Savage 93r17, I found this one at the local Dicks store. AFter mounting and zeroing it in...this has to be the finest rifle scope I have ever used on this particular rifle, and the predecessors were 6 power scopes even. This scope is absolutly perfect for .17HMR rifles. I made five shot groups inside of 2 inches at 100 yards, then moved out to 250 yards, and made several five shot groups inside of 4 inch circles. I even impressed myself. Overall, a very simple, yet beautifuly made scope. Thank you. August 28, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by calbow The Best Scope Ever Excellent Optics, very clear view. Easy to sight in and spot on. 5 shot group at 100 yards could cover with a dime, that was with a 20 mph tail wind. I am buying two more for my SR22 and AR-15. They also have one for my 30-06...I can't say enough about this scope. I highly recommend the sweet series of scopes. May 29, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Wayne This is an awsome scope for the money. Not only is this a great value, but the optics are very clear. The settings are calibrated for the firearm you would use it on. Ex the Sweet 17 settings are calibrated for the HMR17 rifle, as is the Sweet 22 for the 22 cal. Best scope I have used at this price point. With these results why would you need to spend more for a scope that will cost more and may not function as well. Great choice, Highly reccomend. May 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5�by Cpt16B Best kept secret on the market! I paid several dollars more for this exact scope to put on my Savage 93R17 BTVS but ran across this as i am ordering a Sweet 22 scope for my other Savage in 22LR. The Sweet 17 scope on the Savage 17HMR off sand bags will constantly print at or under 1 inch-10 shot groups at 50-75-100-125-150-175 yards on a calm day. the bullet drop compensation is almost dead on varying only by a half inch or less, this could be my movement at these ranges. Great scope for the money and the parallax correction makes even close in shots in full focus! Its a winner! The only reason that it doesn't get a 5 Star is that i don't think there is anything that can not be better or improved! December 3, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5�by Freddy1234 BSA Optics SWEET First I must say DICK'S help me pick out a nice 22 cal rifle. Then we picked a BSA Optics Sweet 17-39x40 Scope. The young man informed me he could install the scope for me, which was great because the next day I wanted to use it. He mounted the scope and used a laser to adjust it. It was right on the money I shoot at a range which is only 75 yards (225 feet). The BSA Optics Sweet 17-39x40 Scope is everything I need for target shooting. My grouping is 1 to 3 inch @ 75 yards depending on how I feel that day. The scope is mounted on a Ruger 10/22 carbine with a few modifications. I just love to plink around and have fun doing it. Many thanks to the good employees at DICK'S. October 20, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5�by osmonxp Best Purchase Ever for the Money I purchased this scope to mount on my Ruger American 17 HMR. The image is crisp, turrets have positive clicks (resettable), no problem with the eye relief, and ranged the parallax to be dead on accurate. In my opinion, this scope has the most bells and whistles, and has the greatest bang for the buck. It was a breeze to sight in. If you have a 17 HMR this is the scope to have and the price is right.
