2009-2010 Bowl Season
Every Team's Best Bowl Moment
2009-2010 CFN Bowl Central
New Mexico Bowl
Best Bulldog Bowl Moment: In one of the more historic victories in school history, Fresno State toyed with Pac-10 powerhouse USC in the 1992 Freedom Bowl. The Bulldogs picked off three Rob Johnson passes and outgained the favored Trojans 405-183 in a surprisingly easy 24-7 win.
Best Cowboy Bowl Moment: Although this will give Wyoming a dozen bowl appearances, it can only boast a single victory since a 1966 Sun Bowl defeat of Florida State. It came in the 2004 Las Vegas Bowl over UCLA, 24-21. A heavy underdog, the Cowboys got a Corey Bramlet to John Wadkowski touchdown pass with 57 seconds left to snap a six-game postseason losing streak.
St. Petersburg Bowl
Best Scarlet Knight Bowl Moment: The Scarlet Knights knocked on the bowl door in 2005 before kicking it down a year later, picking up a school-first bowl victory in the inaugural Texas Bowl. Rutgers used big plays from RB Ray Rice and WR Tim Brown to jump on Kansas State early, pulling away in the second half for an easy 37-10 win.
Best Knight Bowl Moment: While the outcome didn't wind up in its favor, UCF's first bowl appearance was one of the more exciting games of the 2005 bowl season. Facing Nevada in the Hawaii Bowl, the Knights dropped a 49-48 overtime shootout, despite getting 11 catches for 210 yards and three touchdowns from WR Brandon Marshall.
New Orleans Bowl
Best Golden Eagle Bowl Moment: TCU entered the 2000 Mobile Alabama Bowl with the nation's No. 1 defense, top rusher in LaDainian Tomlinson, and a nifty 10-1 record. The Horned Frogs left the Heart of Dixie with their second blemish. Southern Miss rallied in the fourth quarter to stun TCU, 28-21, when Jeff Kelly found Kenneth Johnson for the game-winning touchdown with eight ticks left in the game.
Best Blue Raider Bowl Moment: This marks just the second time since joining the FBS that Middle Tennessee will cap a season in a bowl game. Its first appearance occurred in 2006, a 31-14 Motor City Bowl loss to Central Michigan and RB Ontario Sneed, who scored a pair of touchdowns.
Las Vegas Bowl
Best Beaver Bowl Moment: Oregon State has been to three Rose Bowls over the last 60 years, but even those trips to Pasadena paled in comparison to the 2001 Fiesta Bowl. Pac-10 laughingstocks no more, the Beavers rode a 29-point third quarter outburst to embarrass No. 10 Notre Dame, 41-9. Few victories in school history carried more clout for the OSU football program.
Best Cougar Bowl Moment: From 1978 to 1984, BYU and the Holiday Bowl were synonymous with the magic and excitement of the postseason. That was never truer than in 1980, when Jim McMahon and the high-voltage Cougars engineered an incredible comeback for the school's first bowl triumph. Trailing SMU 38-19 at the start of the fourth quarter, BYU stormed back, pulling out a miraculous win when McMahon connected with TE Clay Brown from 41 yards out as time expired.
Poinsettia Bowl
Best Ute Bowl Moment: Four years ago, the Utes set the bowl bar pretty doggone high for future teams to reach, beating Pitt in the Fiesta Bowl and becoming the first non-automatic qualifier to ever get invited to a BCS bowl game. Last January, Utah raised the bar a notch higher, shocking Alabama, 31-17, to finish unbeaten and No. 2 in the country behind Florida.
Best Golden Bear Bowl Moment: You've got to venture all the way back to 1938 and the days of Vic Bottari to find a truly meaningful Cal bowl victory. The "Thunder Team", as it was dubbed, shut out Alabama 13-0 in the Rose Bowl, en route to the Bears' second and last national championship. Cal finished its season in Pasadena eight times from 1921-1959, but hasn't been back since.
Hawaii Bowl
Best Wolf Pack Bowl Moment: In one of the most exciting games of the 2005 bowl bonanza, Nevada got by UCF in the Hawaii Bowl, 49-48, in overtime. In a wild, see-saw game that featured 1,178 yards of offense, the Wolf Pack got off the island with a win after Matt Prater missed an extra point that would have sent the game to a second extra session.
Best Mustang Bowl Moment: Just because SMU hasn't sniffed the postseason since 1984 does not mean the school lacks history in this area. The Mustangs' most memorable moment came in the 1983 Cotton Bowl, a 7-3 win over Pittsburgh to finish the season with no losses and just a tie to Arkansas. Though Dan Marino was the more heralded quarterback entering the game, Lance McIlhenny was the hero, scoring the game's only touchdown and deftly running the option with the help of Eric Dickerson and Craig James.
Little Caesars Bowl
Best Bobcat Bowl Moment: The Bobcats' next bowl victory will also be their first victory, so the high points are scarce. Ohio has taken the collar in its three postseason opportunities, losing to Southern Miss in the 2006 GMAC Bowl, Richmond in the 1968 Tangerine Bowl, and West Texas A&M in the 1962 Sun Bowl.
Best Thundering Herd Bowl Moment: While it's getting hard to recall, Marshall was a postseason regular between 1997 and 2004, routinely arriving as the MAC champion. During that stretch, no game showcased the program's resiliency and quick-strike offense more than the 2001 GMAC Bowl, an instant classic. In the highest scoring game in bowl history, the Herd and QB Byron Leftwich overcame a 30-point halftime deficit to stun East Carolina in double-overtime, 64-61.
Meineke Bowl
Best Panther Bowl Moment: Ranked No. 9 before the 1976 season began, Pittsburgh wrapped up the national championship with a dominant 27-3 win over Georgia in the Sugar Bowl. Heisman winner Tony Dorsett rushed for a Sugar Bowl-record 202 yards, and the Panther defense one-upped the vaunted Junkyard Dawgs, keeping the Bulldogs out of the end zone for the first time all season.
Best Tar Heel Bowl Moment: The Gator Bowl has been the scene of some of North Carolina's biggest postseason triumphs, and nearly half of its 12 bowl wins. None was more impressive than the 1998 variety, which featured a 42-3 Tar Heel demolition of Virginia Tech. The blowout put an exclamation point on an 11-1 season, one of the most successful in Carolina history.
Emerald Bowl
Best Eagle Bowl Moment: The 1984 season will forever be remembered fondly by Eagle fans. It was the year of Flutie, the Heisman and the miracle in Miami. It was also the scene of Boston College's first bowl win in 44 years, a 45-28 thumping of Houston in the 1985 Cotton Bowl. Flutie threw three touchdown passes, but the real hero was running back Troy Stradford, who ran for 196 yards and was named the game's MVP.
Best Trojan Bowl Moment: There have been a ton of memorable Rose Bowl wins in USC's storied past; however, the 2005 Orange Bowl was the site of the program's most impressive moment, a 55-19 demolition of unbeaten Oklahoma to win a second straight national championship. Matt Leinart set an Orange Bowl record with five touchdown passes, while the mighty Trojans raised debates whether they were a modern-day dynasty.
Music City Bowl
Best Wildcat Bowl Moment: Considering that Kentucky has won just a handful of bowl games over the last 60 years, there aren't many options. If you dig deep enough, however, you'll find a hidden gem in the 1951 Sugar Bowl. Under the guidance of Bear Bryant, the Wildcats shocked national champion Oklahoma, 13-7, behind a stingy defense and a pair of Wilbur Jamerson touchdowns to finish with 11 wins for the first time in school history.
Best Tiger Bowl Moment: It's been more than a quarter of a century since Clemson participated in one of college football's marquee bowl games. Back in 1982, the Tigers played No. 4 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl, with national supremacy hinging on the outcome. Danny Ford's underrated defensive unit frustrated the star-studded Husker offense in a 22-15 win that gave the Tigers a perfect season and its only national championship.
Independence Bowl
Best Bulldog Bowl Moment: Georgia has a very rich bowl tradition that includes 45 invites and victories in the Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Gator Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Sugar Bowl. Fueled by freshman sensation Herschel Walker, the Dawgs took a perfect mark into the 1981 Sugar Bowl, where No. 7 Notre Dame awaited. Walker shook off a dislocated shoulder in the first quarter to score a pair of touchdowns, leading Georgia to a 17-10 win and the national title.
Best Aggie Bowl Moment: In one of the most important wins of the modern era, the Aggies shackled Heisman winner Tim Brown and defeated No. 12 Notre Dame, 35-10, in the 1988 Cotton Bowl. The A&M attack was spearheaded by a couple of freshmen, QB Bucky Richardson, who was named game MVP, and RB Darren Lewis, who tossed a game-tying touchdown pass on a halfback option.
Champs Sports Bowl
Best Badger Bowl Moment: Wisconsin won three Rose Bowls under the watchful eye of Barry Alvarez, but none that generated more electricity in Madison than the 1994 victory. The 21-16 win over UCLA was the school's first on New Year's Day, capping the Badgers' first Big Ten title in 32 years. More than 70,000 rabid fans made the trip to Pasadena, giving Wisconsin a unique home-field advantage in the Bruins' home stadium.
Best Hurricane Bowl Moment: The first of Miami's five national championships came on the heels of one of the most riveting games in college football history, the 1984 Orange Bowl. The 'Canes, a team with few stars, were considerable underdogs to Nebraska, which entered the game on a 22-game winning streak. The game featured Husker guard Dean Steinkuhler's "fumblerooskie" touchdown run and a game-saving tip of an attempted two-point conversion pass by Miami safety Ken Calhoun. The 31-30 win marked the emergence of the 'Canes as a national power.
EagleBank Bowl
Best Owl Bowl Moment: Throughout the long history of Temple football, there have been just a pair of bowl appearances, losing the inaugural Sugar Bowl to Tulane in 1935 and defeating Cal, 28-17, in the 1979 Garden State Bowl. RB Kevin Duckett was one of the catalysts of a team that finished 10-2 and generated some brief excitement around Philadelphia.
Best Bruin Bowl Moment: UCLA was almost unbeatable in the 1980s, winning seven of eight bowl games, including three Rose Bowls. However, the 1960s were home to its most unforgettable postseason victory. Before 1964, the Bruins had played in five Rose Bowls, losing each one. The 1965 squad mercifully ended that futility in a thriller with No. 1 Michigan State that ended when three Bruin defenders stopped a game-tying two-point conversion with under a minute left in the game.
Humanitarian Bowl
Best Falcon Bowl Moment: In the inaugural 1992 Las Vegas Bowl, the Falcons withstood a furious second-half rally from Nevada, pulling the game out 35-34 on a fourth down touchdown pass from Erik White to Dave Hankins with 22 seconds left. It was the second win of what become a four-game postseason winning streak for the program.
Best Vandal Bowl Moment: Idaho has never lost a bowl game at the FBS level. Of course, the Vandals have made just one appearance, a 42-35 victory over Southern Miss in the 1998 Humanitarian Bowl. The Big West champs overcame a productive day from RB Derrick Nix, getting 291 yards and four touchdown passes from QB John Welsh.
Holiday Bowl
Best Wildcat Bowl Moment: Although the Wildcats have yet to appear in the Rose Bowl, they were pretty formidable between 1986 and 1998, winning five games in eight tries. The pinnacle was the 1994 Fiesta Bowl spanking of No. 10 Miami. Arizona created four turnovers and got 142 yards on the ground from Chuck Levy, pitching the only shutout in Fiesta Bowl history.
Best Husker Bowl Moment: Nebraska's massive bowl resume includes an unheard of 30 New Year's Day appearances. You can go in so many directions with this question, such as pasting No. 2 Alabama in the 1972 Orange Bowl, pounding Notre Dame 40-6 in the 1973 Orange Bowl in Bob Devaney's final game, breaking a seven-game bowl slide, or winning the national title with a win over Miami in the 1995 Orange Bowl. However, no game stands out more than the 62-24 demolition of Florida in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl. In a match up of No. 1 vs. No. 2, the Huskers rushed for a bowl-record 524 yards, putting forth one of the most dominant big game performances the sport has ever witnessed.
Sun Bowl
Best Sooner Bowl Moment: Although the last five BCS bowl appearances have been eminently forgettable, OU's 24-17-1 bowl record ranks among the best of any program with at least 15 appearances. The Sooners, regulars in Miami throughout the years, used the 2001 Orange Bowl as a vehicle to regaining their status as a perennial national title contender. The Oklahoma defense suffocated high-powered Florida State in a shocking 13-2 win that captured the school's seventh national championship.
Best Cardinal Bowl Moment: When you're a member of the Pac-10, success is measured by Rose Bowl victories. For Stanford, that hasn't happened since the early 1970s. The Cardinal actually won back-to-back games in 1971 and 1972 under the guidance of head coach John Ralston. In 1971, it handed Ohio State its first loss of the year, 27-17, behind Heisman-winning QB Jim Plunkett. In 1972, it gave Michigan its lone blemish, 13-12, on the strength of QB Don Bunce and a game-winning field goal from Rod Garcia with 12 seconds left.
Armed Forces Bowl
Best Falcon Bowl Moment: One of the most decisive postseason wins in Air Force history came in the 1998 Oahu Bowl, a 45-25 demolition of the Pac-10's Washington. The Falcons were uncommonly balanced in the lopsided victory, generating 232 yards on the ground and 267 yards through the air from game MVP, QB Blane Morgan.
Best Cougar Bowl Moment: The last second upset of Nebraska in the 1980 Cotton Bowl warrants real strong consideration; however, it's the 30-21 win over unbeaten Maryland in the 1977 Cotton Bowl that has a special place in the hearts of Cougar fans. The school's first trip to a New Year's Day bowl game was the finishing touch on an unforgettable season that saw Houston stun the Southwest Conference by winning the league in its debut as a member.
Texas Bowl
Best Middie Bowl Moment: Ben Fay will forever be a part of Navy football lore. He was the backup quarterback, who came off the bench in the fourth quarter of the 1996 Aloha Bowl to help upset Cal, 42-38. The senior led the offense on touchdown drives of 80 and 84 yards over the final 10:38 as the Academy captured its first bowl win in 18 years.
Best Tiger Bowl Moment: The 2005 comeback win over South Carolina in the Independence Bowl was nice, but Missouri's biggest bowl conquests reside deep in the past, nine New Year's Day bowl games before 1971 and not one until 2007. A 21-14 defeat of Navy in the 1961 Orange Bowl ended a seven-game bowl losing streak, propelling the Tigers to No. 5 in the AP Poll and capping the best season in school history. In the win, the Mizzou D held Heisman winner Joe Bellino to just four yards on the ground.
Insight Bowl
Best Gopher Bowl Moment: It's been quite some time since Minnesota reigned supreme in the Big Ten or played a game in Pasadena. Almost half a century, in fact. Behind the play of legendary quarterback Sandy Stephens and a terrific defensive effort, the Gophers beat UCLA 21-3 in the 1962 Rose Bowl to avenge a loss to Washington in Pasadena a year earlier.
Best Cyclone Bowl Moment: In nine mostly forgettable bowl appearances, Iowa State has won just a pair of games, the 2000 Insight Bowl and the 2004 Independence Bowl. That 2000 edition won nine games, jumping out to a big lead on the Panthers behind the running of Ennis Haywood, receiving of Chris Anthony, and passing of Sage Rosenfels.
Chick-fil-A Bowl
Best Hokie Bowl Moment: Meeting Florida State for the national championship in the 2000 Sugar Bowl was quite an accomplishment, but whooping a one-loss Texas team in the 1995 game was even better. Led by big plays from receiver Bryan Still and an attacking defense, the Big East champs won their tenth straight game, earning a second helping of national respect.
Best Volunteer Bowl Moment: UT's postseason resume is comprised of 30 New Year's Day bowl games, including seven Sugar Bowls, six Cotton Bowls, four Orange Bowls, three Fiesta Bowls, and two Rose Bowls. Your dad and granddad might disagree, but none was more significant than the 1999 Fiesta Bowl, which guaranteed the Vols their second national championship. Big days from Tee Martin and Peerless Price catapulted Tennessee to a 23-16 win over Florida State in the maiden BCS championship game.
Outback Bowl
Best Wildcat Bowl Moment: No contest. When you're the Big Ten's perennial doormat and you haven't been to a bowl game in 47 years, an unexpected berth in the Rose Bowl is more than a great bowl moment—it's the modern day high point for your program. Such was the case for the 1995 'Cats, which shocked the world by winning the conference title and earning a trip to Pasadena. They led favored USC early in the fourth quarter before succumbing, 41-32.
Best Tiger Bowl Moment: Over the years, the Tigers have given their fans plenty to cheer about in the postseason. High on the list of shining moments was the school's only Sugar Bowl win, a 9-7 triumph over Michigan in 1984. In a classic defensive struggle with the Wolverines, Auburn pulled out the game when Al Del Greco split the uprights with under a minute left. The 11-1 Tigers finished No. 2 in the polls behind a Miami team that upset unbeaten Nebraska in the Orange Bowl.
Gator Bowl
Best Mountaineer Bowl Moment: The postseason had been a horror show for West Virginia…until the 2006 Sugar Bowl and the 2008 Fiesta Bowl. The same program that had lost 11 of its previous 12 bowls jumped all over heavily-favored Georgia in the Georgia Dome, holding on for a 38-35 win that ranks among the most important in school history. Two Januarys ago, the 'eers, seemingly a rudderless ship, rallied around interim coach Bill Stewart, to stun Oklahoma in Arizona, 48-28, behind the heroics of Pat White and Noel Devine.
Best Seminole Bowl Moment: The 'Noles' 14-game bowl unbeaten streak from 1982-1998 is one of the most incredible runs of any kind in college football history. The high point of that boon—and there were many—was the classic 1994 Orange Bowl with Nebraska that matched the top two teams in the country. Florida State took an 18-16 lead on a Scott Bentley chip shot with 21 seconds left, but had to watch as a Byron Bennett field goal attempt fittingly sailed wide left before wrapping up the win and the school's first national championship.
Capital One Bowl
Best Nittany Lion Bowl Moment: In one of the most memorable bowl games of all-time, Penn State shocked Miami in the 1987 Fiesta Bowl to earn its second national championship in four years. With a record-breaking 70 million viewers watching, the Lions intercepted Heisman winner Vinny Testaverde five times, the last one by Pete Giftopoulos at the Penn State one-yard line to seal an unexpected and heart-stopping 14-10 win.
Best Tiger Bowl Moment: Look no further than the 2004 Sugar Bowl, a more-dominant-than-the-score-indicated 21-14 win over Oklahoma, which gave LSU a share of its first national championship in 45 years. The Tigers harassed Heisman winner Jason White from the opening drive, getting just enough of an offensive spark from freshman RB Justin Vincent to pull off the mild upset in the Superdome.
Rose Bowl
Best Duck Bowl Moment: There have been Rose Bowls, a Cotton Bowl and a slew of minor bowls in Oregon's history, all of which paled in comparison to the 2002 Fiesta Bowl. Joey Harrington threw four touchdown passes, Steve Smith picked off three passes, and the No. 2 Ducks put a bow on the most successful season in school history by pummeling No. 3 Colorado 38-16.
Best Buckeye Bowl Moment: Beyond the plethora of Rose Bowl wins, nothing could compare to the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. In one of the most thrilling college football games of all-time, Ohio State upset Miami in overtime to cop its first unanimous national championship in 34 years. A distant runner-up was the come-from-behind win against USC in the 1969 Rose Bowl that put the finishing touches on that previous national title.
Sugar Bowl
Best Gator Bowl Moment: How good was the 41-14 thumping of Ohio State in the BCS Championship Game three years ago? Good enough to trump the 52-20 annihilation of No. 1 and unbeaten Florida State in the 1997 Sugar Bowl as the best moment in Florida bowl history. Considered by many to be out of the top-ranked Buckeyes' league, the Gators feasted on their slower opponent, holding Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith and Ohio State to just 82 yards of total offense.
Best Bearcat Bowl Moment: Even a broken hand and unseasonably cold weather in Texas couldn't keep Cincinnati QB Gino Guidugli from carving up the Marshall defense in the 2004 Fort Worth Bowl. The senior threw for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns, leading the Bearcats to a 32-14 victory, their first in postseason play in seven years.
International Bowl
Best Bull Bowl Moment: In 2005, South Florida played in its first bowl game, a 14-0 loss to NC State in the Meineke Car Care Bowl. A year later, the Bulls won their first bowl game, a 24-7 defeat of East Carolina in the inaugural PapaJohns.com Bowl. In another important stride for head coach Jim Leavitt and the program, USF got a pair of touchdown runs from RB Benjamin Williams and an outstanding effort from a defense that delivered six sacks and was particularly nasty in the red zone.
Best Huskie Bowl Moment: There wasn't much drama or many style points, but Northern Illinois' 34-21 win over Troy in the 2004 Silicon Valley Classic was a landmark victory for a program that was breaking a 21-year postseason dry spell.
PapaJohns.com Bowl
Best Gamecock Bowl Moment: South Carolina has won four of its last six bowl games, the only four postseason victories in school history. In the 2002 Outback Bowl, the Gamecocks allowed Ohio State to rally from a 28-point deficit before Daniel Weaver booted a game-winning 42-yard field goal for a sigh-of-relief victory. It was South Carolina's second straight win over the Buckeyes in Tampa and a symbol of just how far the program had progressed under Lou Holtz.
Best Husky Bowl Moment: Connecticut's first bowl invitation was a stepping stone moment for a young program that hadn't been competing in I-A very long. Just three years after elevating from I-AA, the Huskies pounded Toledo in the 2004 Motor City Bowl, 39-10, behind the passing of star QB Dan Orlovsky and the play of an opportunistic and unheralded defense.
Cotton Bowl
Best Cowboy Bowl Moment: One of the great offensive displays in postseason history, Oklahoma State ambushed Wyoming 62-14 in the 1988 Holiday Bowl. The Cowboys cranked out 698 yards and 34 first downs behind Heisman winner Barry Sanders' 222 yards and five touchdowns on the ground, and a near- perfect passing performance from current head coach Mike Gundy.
Best Rebel Bowl Moment: Under legendary head coach Johnny Vaught, Ole Miss made a habit out of playing in big bowl games in the 1950s and 1960s. The most memorable was a 21-0 thumping of LSU in the 1960 Sugar Bowl that avenged a loss to the Tigers during the regular season. The 10-1 Rebels notched their eighth shutout of the season and outgained their SEC rival 363-74.
Liberty Bowl
Best Pirate Bowl Moment: In one of the most memorable wins in school history, East Carolina rallied from a 17-point fourth quarter deficit to beat long-time rival North Carolina State in the 1992 Peach Bowl. In front of the largest crowd to ever watch two North Carolina teams play, Pirate QB Jeff Blake ran for a score and threw a pair of touchdown passes in the final eight minutes for a pulsating 37-34 victory. The win gave the Pirates state bragging rights and a No. 9 ranking in the final AP poll.
Best Razorback Bowl Moment: The Hogs have been victorious in just 11 of 36 bowl appearances, and only twice in the last two decades. One of their sweetest wins came in the 1978 Orange Bowl against heavily- favored and second-ranked Oklahoma. Arkansas got a bowl-record 205 yards rushing and 52 yards receiving from third-string tailback Roland Sales, cruising to a 31-6 win over the Sooners. Sales was pressed into action when the team's top two backs were suspended for the game.
Alamo Bowl
Best Spartan Bowl Moment: While rival Michigan has a timeshare in Pasadena, it's been a long time since Michigan State has played a meaningful game in January. The Spartans are 3-1 in the Rose Bowl, including a couple of wins over UCLA in the 1950s. In the 1954 game, No. 3 Michigan State rallied from a 14-0 halftime deficit to pull out the win, getting a touchdown run and a back-breaking punt return for a score from RB Billy Wells.
Best Red Raider Bowl Moment: Over the years, the bowl season has been anything but festive for Tech. Covering 32 games since 1937, it's lost 21 times and played in January just four times over the last half century. The 1953 squad was a rare exception. That explosive 11-1 team blew out Auburn 35-13 in a historic 1954 Gator Bowl. The game marked the first time Tech was broadcast on television and gave birth to the Masked Rider as a fabled school tradition.
Fiesta Bowl
Best Bronco Bowl Moment: Is there really any debate? Boise State arguably delivered the most memorable and thrilling performance in bowl history in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, a 43-42 upset of Oklahoma in overtime. A frequent participant in the local Humanitarian Bowl, the Broncos took their inventive brand of football on the road, winning on a Statue of Liberty two-pointer that'll forever be a part of sports lore.
Best Horned Frog Bowl Moment: Generations before the current Frogs were even out of diapers, TCU was winning Southwest and national titles in the 1930s with All-Americans, such as Sammy Baugh and Davey O'Brien. O'Brien's 1938 TCU team capped off a perfect season with a 15-7 Sugar Bowl victory over then- No. 5 Carnegie Tech.
Orange Bowl
Best Hawkeye Bowl Moment: For the 11 members of the Big Ten conference, success is measured in terms Rose Bowl berths and victories. For the Hawkeyes, that level of success hasn't reached their campus since the latter half of the 1950s. Iowa beat Oregon State and Cal in 1957 and 1959, respectively for their only Rose Bowl victories. The 38-12 win over the Golden Bears was particularly impressive as the offense rolled up 441 of its 528 total yards on the ground.
Best Yellow Jacket Bowl Moment: Tech boasts a nifty 22-15 bowl record, including 8-7 since 1985. The Jackets did most of their big-game damage in the 1940s and 1950s; however, it was the 1991 Florida Citrus Bowl which means the most to today's generation of Tech fans. Led by the passing of Shawn Jones and the running of William Bell, Bobby Ross' team pummeled Nebraska 45-21, en route to an unbeaten season and the UPI's share of the national championship.
GMAC Bowl
Best Trojan Bowl Moment: In its brief stay in the FBS, Troy has dropped two of its three bowl appearances, losing to Northern Illinois in the 2004 Silicon Valley Bowl and Southern Miss in the 2008 New Orleans Bowl. In the lone victory, the Trojans, routed Rice in the 2006 New Orleans Bowl, getting 319 total yards and five touchdowns out of star QB Omar Haugabook.
Best Chippewa Bowl Moment: Central Michigan has taken part in five bowl games, but only the 2006 Motor City Bowl ended with a victory. The Chippewas handled Middle Tennessee State, 31-14, getting a pair of touchdowns from Ontario Sneed to cap a sensational MAC-championship year with their first 10-win season since 1979.
BCS Championship
Best Longhorn Bowl Moment: With all due respect to its recent thrilling comeback wins over USC and Michigan in the Rose Bowl, nothing defines the Texas bowl experience more than the Cotton Bowl, home to almost half of the program's bowl destinations. Arguably the most rewarding of those trips to Dallas was in 1970, when the 'Horns came from behind twice in the fourth quarter to beat a Notre Dame team that was ending a 44-year self-imposed bowl-moratorium. The win, No. 500 in school history, cemented UT's second national title.
Best Crimson Tide Bowl Moment: With an NCAA-record 57 invites and 31 victories, you can make a credible argument for about a dozen different games. By a sliver, the nod here goes to the 1979 Sugar Bowl over the 1993 Sugar Bowl. Both produced national championships, but the 14-7 win over top-ranked Penn State more than a quarter century ago featured an epic, game-saving goal line stand from the 'Bama D that's etched in the memory of everyone that witnessed it.

Dr Sammarone is very easy to talk to and has a sense of empathy and compassion that is not often found among many doctors. I travel over 2 hours to see him. He has no nurses or physician assistants or other doctors but he sees all his patients himself and I think is great because he gets to know your pain better.
He is extremely knowledgeable and qualified and treats you like his own family member. The 3 procedures I had were successful and my sciatic pain disappeared!
Dr Sammarone encourages looking at all options available before resorting to surgery. I am so glad he did this because I am now pain free and did not have to go through the trauma of surgery. Dr Sammarone listens to you and has amazing bedside manners. He is a rare breed among the medical community. He takes his time and thoroughly examines you, and explains everything he's doing in the process. He is such a great guy and he truly cares about his patients. I would recommend him to anyone. Robert S.
On top of this, his staff is just as nice as he is.

I am writing this review for my mom who is not computer literate. My mom has had back pain for several years. I have taken her to several chiropractors, an acupuncturist, and for physical therapy. Some of these therapies have mildly helped but it only lasted for a few days at most. A surgeon recommended surgery but she refused. A co-worker recommended Dr. Sammarone to me and so I scheduled an appointment for her that day. He was very kind, patient and took his time with us. We followed his advice and she has no back pain 7 months later. My Mom and I thank you tremendously Dr. Sammarone !!!!

Thanks to Dr Sammarone-I feel like I have my life back. Physical activities I couldn't do for the last 3-4 years , I can do again. My ongoing, chronic lower back pain is gone and if it returns I will be calling the good Doctor again, as I know I will find relief. If you are in pain, or feel hopeless about your condition, call this doctor RIGHT now. It has changed my life.

Let me start out by saying that the attention and customer service are unsurpassed. I very much appreciate the focus and caring especially at this time when most doctors shuffle their patients in and out like cattle. Thanks Dr Sammarone for your expertise, but most of all for helping to alleviate the pain and suffering I thought was just something I was going to have to accept.

I suffered from chronic back pain for many years. My neighbor recommended Dr. Sammarone. I was skeptical at first but after a thorough exam he presented me with a diagnosis and a treatment plan. After my first treatment I felt 80% better….with 1 more treatment (injection) I have now been pain free for months now. I haven't felt this good in years. He is very skilled and I feel grateful to have met him……thanks Dr. Sammarone!

" I can enjoy my profession without having to dwell on the pain" Dear Dr. Sammarone, thank you for all you've done for me. I have suffered with neck pain for so long that I actually forgot what it means to be pain-free. Thanks to you I can enjoy my profession without having to dwell on the pain. You and your staff are amazing Sincerely, D.

Dr. Sammarone may have good bedside manner during procedures (specifically pain management) however not when his pain management injections don't work. Since his treatment didn't work, he pushed me aside, told me the pain was in my head and that I should see a psychiatrist. Over 6 months later I was diagnosed with a specific dysfunction of a particular division of my nervous system (ANS), no thanks to him. He just knows how to treat pinched nerves and injury pain. I understand he couldn't treat my type of pain, but he had no right to call a patient crazy whose pain was real. My condition has progressed drastically but I am happy I have physicians who are caring and helpful, unlike Dr. Sammarone.

Check out this great article by "FOX Business" that chronicles our CEO Jim Atchison's rise from the parking lots of Busch Gardens Tampa to lead SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment. Below is an excerpt from the online article and included in the article is a video interview with Jim.
You know the time-worn adages: Work your way to the top. Climb the corporate ladder. Pay your dues. But how many people can actually say they got their start at the bottom of a now public $3.2 billion company they go on to lead from the c-suite? Jim Atchison, SeaWorld's (SEAS) chief executive, earned his seat in this elite club decades ago when he started with the company at 18 years of age, working as a parking lot attendant at Busch Gardens Tampa. Whether it was operating rides, working in guest relations or parking cars, what's kept him in the game for nearly three decades isn't the title or the fanfare that comes with the CEO position. It's getting to do what he loves every single day.

I just read Brittany's posted article about the "fat vaginas" after which I looked around the website, Well rounded mama. OMG this is my new 2nd fav site (after babycenter, of course :) )
I found one blog that I LOVED, about beautiful plus sized baby bellies. There were only a few pics, but those women are GORGEOUS! I cried, they were just so beautiful.
I'm a FTM and overweight, and so I'm worried about not looking pregnant. I feel like I've seen millions of pictures of thinner women with their adorable baby bumps - it was awesome to see someone that looks more like me with a baby bump.
I plan on posting pics here as my baby bump grows, and I hope I'm not the only one! I know that you guys will not judge me for my huge saggy boobs or my rolls of chub, where ever they may end up, but instead you'll be celebrating my pregnancy along with me, and I promise I'll do the same for you.
Okay.... gotta go find some more kleenex...

"This would prevent you from going to the polls and claiming that you're Mary Smith so you vote as Mary Smith then you come back later and vote as Mary Joan," Campbell said. "Repeating was a problem a century ago and these laws would have been good for that, but it's a non-event now."
In trying to solve that problem, critics say, the new voter ID laws could disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of voters who cannot obtain the necessary documents. In Pennsylvania, where Metcalfe's voter ID law will be in effect for the November election, at least 90,000 eligible voters did not have an ID that met the law's requirements to vote, according to initial estimates by the Pennsylvania Department of State.

But Metcalfe said he does not think the voter ID law will prevent people from going to the polls.
"With every right comes a responsibility," the Pennsylvania lawmaker said. "There is a responsibility now in Pennsylvania that goes along with being able to vote and that is when you show up on Election Day to have that photo ID."

Computer systems are known that utilize a firmware program stored in non-volatile memory to assist with the startup of the computer system and to enable communication with low-level hardware, preparing the way for other programs to execute. For instance, some computer systems utilize a basic input/output system (BIOS) and/or an extensible firmware interface (EFI) firmware that includes program code containing fundamental routines that help transfer information between elements within the computer system. Among other tasks, the program code stored in firmware discovers and initializes components within and connected to the computer system. These components may include a multitude of devices capable of loading a computer's initial program such as an operating system. These initial program load (IPL) devices may include floppy disk drives, hard drives, optical drives, network controllers, and universal serial bus (USB) drives. In many cases, IPL devices store and serve up the program code comprising an operating system such as Linux.
Many computer systems include multiple IPL devices, allowing for multiple sources from which an operating system or other initial program can be loaded. For example, if the firmware in the computer system cannot successfully load an operating system from a floppy disk, it may next attempt to load the operating system from a hard disk, and so on. However, if one or more IPL devices are not discovered, are corrupted, or are otherwise malfunctioning, then an operating system boot cannot be initiated. Moreover, a user may desire to initiate an operating system boot independent of any attached IPL devices in certain situations, but this is not presently possible.
It is with respect to these considerations and others that embodiments presented herein have been made.
It should be appreciated that this Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.
Provided are methods and computer-readable media for initiating an operating system boot from a firmware. Typically, hard drives and floppy drives are the source of an operating system boot loader. Here, a service or virtual option read-only memory (ROM) that is not associated with any hard drive or other peripheral is loaded into the computer's memory from firmware. When a firmware boot is requested or required, a firmware boot driver including an operating system boot loader is retrieved from the firmware. The operating system boot loader (e.g., GRand Unified Bootloader for Linux, or GRUB) is then executed, which eventually loads and boots the operating system itself.
Also provided are computer-readable media storing various modules. The modules include a service option ROM that is similar to a hardware option ROM associated with standard initial program load (IPL) devices. The service option ROM indicates the availability of a firmware boot, an operating system boot loader, and firmware boot driver having instructions to create a firmware boot event and instructions to copy the operating system boot loader from firmware to memory.
Other methods and/or computer-readable media according to embodiments will be or become apparent to one with skill in the art upon review of the following drawings and Detailed Description. It is intended that all such additional methods and/or computer-readable media be included within this description, be within the scope of the present invention, and be protected by the accompanying claims.
The following detailed description is directed to apparatuses and methods for initiating an operating system boot from a firmware. In the following detailed description, references are made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and which are shown, by way of illustration, using specific embodiments or examples. Referring now to the drawings, in which like numerals represent like elements through the several figures, aspects of the various implementations and an illustrative operating environment provided herein will be described.
Turning now to
In order to provide the functionality described herein, the computer system 100 includes a baseboard, or "motherboard", which is a printed circuit board to which a multitude of components or devices may be connected by way of a system bus or other communication path. In one illustrative embodiment, a central processing unit (CPU) 102 operates in conjunction with a chipset 104. The CPU 102 may be a standard central processor that performs arithmetic and logical operations necessary for the operation of the computer. The CPU 102, in this and other embodiments, may include one or more of a microprocessor, a microcontroller, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and/or any other electronic computing device.
The chipset 104 includes a northbridge 106 and a southbridge 108. The northbridge 106 provides an interface between the CPU 102 and the remainder of the computer system 100. The northbridge 106 also provides an interface to one or more random access memories (RAM) used as a main memory 114 in the computer system 100 and, possibly, to an on-board graphics adapter 112. The northbridge 106 may also enable networking functionality through a gigabit Ethernet adapter 110. The gigabit Ethernet adapter 110 is capable of connecting the computer system 100 to one or more other computers via a network. Connections that may be made by the adapter 110 may include local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) connections, for example. LAN and WAN networking environments are commonplace in offices, enterprise-wide computer networks, intranets, and on the Internet. The northbridge 106 is connected to the southbridge 108.
The southbridge 108 is responsible for controlling many of the input/output functions of the computer system 100. In particular, the southbridge 108 may provide one or more universal serial bus (USB) ports 116, a sound adapter 124, an Ethernet controller 134, and one or more general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins 118. The southbridge 108 may also provide a bus for interfacing peripheral card devices such as a BIOS boot specification (BBS) compliant SCSI host bus adapter 130. In one embodiment, the bus comprises a peripheral component interconnect (PCI) bus. The southbridge 108 may also provide a system management bus 132 for use in managing the various components of computer system 100. Power management circuitry 126 and clock generation circuitry 128 may also be utilized during operation of the southbridge 108.
The southbridge 108 is also operative to provide one or more interfaces for connecting mass storage devices to the computer system 100. For instance, according to an embodiment, the southbridge 108 includes a serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) adapter for providing one or more serial ATA ports 120 and an ATA100 adapter for providing one or more ATA100 ports 122. The serial ATA ports 120 and the ATA100 ports 122 may be, in turn, connected to one or more mass storage devices storing an operating system, application programs, and other data. As known to those skilled in the art, an operating system comprises a set of programs that control operations of a computer and allocation of resources. An application program is software that runs on top of the operating system software, or other runtime environment, and uses computer resources to perform application specific tasks desired by a user of the computer system 100.
The mass storage devices connected to the southbridge 108 and the SCSI host bus adapter 130, and their associated computer-readable media, provide non-volatile storage for the computer system 100. Although the description of computer-readable media contained herein refers to a mass storage device, such as a hard disk or CD-ROM drive, it should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer system 100. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes volatile and non-volatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EPROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other solid state memory technology, CD-ROM, DVD, HD-DVD, BLU-RAY, or other optical storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can be accessed by the computer.
A low pin count (LPC) interface may also be provided by the southbridge 108 for connecting a Super I/O device 138. The Super I/O device 138 is responsible for providing a number of input/output ports, including a keyboard port, a mouse port, a serial interface, a parallel port, and other types of input/output ports. The LPC interface or another interface may be utilized to connect a computer storage medium such as a ROM or a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM) 137 such as a flash memory. The computer storage medium may be used for storing the firmware 136 that includes modules containing instructions and data that help to startup the computer system 100 and to transfer information between elements within the computer system 100.
The firmware 136 may include program code that is compatible with the EFI specification. It should be appreciated that in addition to the firmware 136 including an EFI-compatible firmware, other types and combinations of firmware may be included. For instance, the firmware 136 may include additionally or alternatively a BIOS firmware and/or other type of firmware known to those in the art. Additional details regarding the operation of the EFI firmware 136 are provided below with respect to
Referring now to
A new specification for creating the firmware that is responsible for booting the computer and for intermediating the communication between the operating system 202 and the hardware has been created. The specification is called the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) specification, which was originally created by INTEL CORPORATION and which has been extended by the UNIFIED EXTENSIBLE FIRMWARE INTERFACE FORUM (UEFI). The EFI specification describes an interface 206 to be used by the operating system 202 to access the hardware 210 via the firmware 136. In particular, the specification defines the interface that platform firmware must implement and the interface that the operating system 202 may use in booting and accessing hardware. How the firmware 136 implements the interface 206 is left up to the manufacturer of the firmware. The EFI specification provides interfaces for EFI drivers to communicate with each other, and the EFI core provides functions such as allocation of memory, creating events, setting the clock, and many others.
According to one implementation of EFI, both the EFI 206 and a BIOS compatibility support module (CSM) 208 may be present in the firmware 136. This allows for a heterogeneous environment of operating systems and device drivers that may only support either EFI or BIOS interfaces. The CSM 208 may enable operating systems and applications to make legacy BIOS function calls. Additional details regarding the architecture and operation of the EFI 206 are provided below with respect to
Turning now to
Once started, the OS loader 302 continues to boot the complete operating system 202, potentially loading the operating system in stages, as with the GRUB, commonly associated with Linux operating systems. The OS loader 302 may use EFI boot services 304 and interface to other supported specifications to survey, comprehend, and initialize the various platform components and the operating system 202 software that manages them. Thus, interfaces 314 from other specifications may also be present on the system. For example, the Advanced Configuration and Power Management Interface (ACPI) and the System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) specifications may be supported.
EFI boot services 304 provide interfaces for devices and system functionality that can be used during boot time. EFI runtime services 306 are available to the OS loader 302 during the boot phase and to an operating system 202 when it is running. For example, runtime services may be presented to ensure appropriate abstraction of base platform hardware resources that may be needed by the operating system 202 during its normal operation. EFI allows extension of platform firmware by loading EFI drivers and EFI application images which, when loaded, have access to all EFI-defined runtime and boot services.
Various program modules provide the boot and runtime services. These program modules may be loaded by the EFI boot loader 312 at system boot time. The EFI boot loader 312 is a component in the EFI firmware that determines which program modules should be explicitly loaded and when. Once the EFI firmware is initialized, it passes control to the boot loader 312. The boot loader 312 is then responsible for determining which of the program modules to load and in what order. It should be appreciated that both the operating system 202 and the firmware 136 provide a runtime environment for application programs as described herein.
The service option ROM 401 includes a Plug and Play (PnP) expansion header which includes information about booting from firmware, including a boot entry vector (BEV) indicating a location for program code to boot from firmware. Further details about the service option ROM 410 are provided below with respect to
In the example of a Linux operating system being loaded, the OS loader 302 may be a version of GRUB. In a typical boot, GRUB is divided into stages which may be stored on a hard disk drive. The first stage of GRUB is typically a small program normally stored in the Master Boot Record (MBR) of a hard disk drive which, when loaded, serves to load one or more subsequent GRUB stages (e.g., the second stage) from other locations on the hard disk drive. Once loaded, GRUB can present options to a user for loading an operating system 202, and then initiate and manage loading of the operating system from a particular location.
In a firmware boot using the GRUB example, all GRUB stages are sourced from the firmware 136 and loaded as part of the OS loader 302 binary by the loader code 405. The GRUB loader may be modified in order to, for example, prevent GRUB stage one from attempting to load GRUB stage two from a hard disk drive. The version of GRUB stored as part of the firmware boot image 403 may only include a stripped down version of GRUB stage one. When only GRUB stages one and two are present in the OS Loader 302, the loader code 405 may, for example, copy GRUB stage one from offset 0x200 within the firmware boot image 403 to memory location 0:7C00, and GRUB stage two from offset 0x400 to memory location 0:8000.
Once GRUB is loaded and begins executing, the user may be presented with a menu or other configuration screen permitting the user to control aspects of the operating system load, such as a source location from which the operating system 202 should be loaded. The operating system may be loaded, for example, from an external storage device, a USB drive, or even from the firmware 136 itself.
It will be recognized by one skilled in the art that these operations, structural devices, acts, and modules may be implemented in software, in firmware, in special purpose digital logic, and/or any combination thereof without deviating from the spirit and scope of the attached claims. Moreover, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the operations described may be combined, divided, reordered, skipped, and otherwise modified, also without deviating from the spirit and scope of the attached claims.
The process 500 begins at operation 501 early in the boot process of a computer system 100. The firmware 136 loads the service option ROM 401 from firmware into an area of main memory 114 where other option ROMs are loaded. This enables the service option ROM 401 to be located by executing power-on self test (POST) code and to identify a firmware boot as an available boot option. More information regarding the installation of the service option ROM 401 is presented below in the description accompanying
When the firmware boot event is triggered, the firmware boot image 403 is loaded into a portion of the main memory 114 at operation 504. Once the firmware boot image 403 is loaded, the normal startup procedure continues until the firmware 136 is prepared to boot the operating system 202. At operation 505, control is transferred to the loader code 405. The loader code 405 then proceeds to load the OS loader 302 and begin execution of the OS loader 302.
At this point, the firmware 136 searches the portion of memory for the option ROMs at operation 603. This search may be conducted by looking for a particular signature in each option ROM, as set forth in the BBS. Some option ROMs, including the service option ROM 401, correspond to initial program load IPL devices, which can be used to boot an operating system 202 onto the computer system 100. At operation 604, as the IPL devices are discovered in this fashion, the firmware 136 builds a table of all IPL devices. The IPL table includes an entry with the information about the firmware boot retrieved from the service option ROM.

Train from Amsterdam to Paris, stopping in Brussels
Hi! Rick Steve's Europe Through the Back Door suggests stopping off in Brussels for a short viewing of Brussels between Amsterdam and Paris, then hopping back on to Paris. It doesn't seem as easy as that when I am looking for tickets. I want to buy them ahead of the trip. Any suggestions? It appears to be double the price if you buy tickets from Amsterdam to Brussels, then another ticket from Brussels to Paris a few hours later....really have my heart set on stopping, but not for twice the price. Has anyone else done this before? Help! Thanks!

Warm weather brings blooming plant sales around Tri-State
Annual sale offers what members have grown
Warm weather has been tardy and sporadic this spring, but it finally seems safe to plant out your vegetables and summer annuals.
The timing is right, because this Saturday and May 5, the Southwestern Indiana Master Gardener Spring Plant Sale will be at the Vanderburgh County 4-H Center. Nearby, the Southwestern Indiana Daylily Society will have its annual sale. Also the Bloomin' Zoo sale at Mesker Park Zoo & Botanic Gardens will feature plants that grow around the zoo Saturday and May 5.
Master Gardeners have raised from seed, plug or cutting more than 20,000 plants for its sale.
This year the plant sale's focus is on edibles — vegetables, herbs, fruit trees and ornamentals that are also edible such as nasturtiums, calendula and day lilies.
Included will be a few plants never before offered at the Master Gardener Sale, including fruit trees, blueberries, gooseberries, grape vines, horseradish, cultivated pawpaws and even fig trees.
"I am growing the raspberries, the gooseberries, some figs, herbs and tomatoes," said Master Gardener Jane Rexing, who has a small orchard and greenhouse near Haubstadt, Ind.
Rexing's favorite new plants are the blueberries, pawpaws and figs.
"I've grown figs before," she said. "I have one planted outdoors called Chicago Hardy that's supposed to be hardy up to Chicago. The others I grow in pots and put them in the greenhouse in the winter. We'll have one or two cuttings from the Chicago Hardy. The other types we'll have are Celeste, Desert King, Black Jack and Brunswick."
Rexing particularly enjoys blueberry bushes, because they have something to offer all year-round.
"They have a pretty little flower," she said. "And then you get the fruit, and they have pretty fall color, too."
Blueberries love acidic soil, but be prepared to net the plants if you want to get any berries before the birds do.
"The pawpaws are really interesting," said Rexing. "I have two young pawpaw trees in our little orchard. I love bananas and banana custard, so I figure I'll like them. They are 3 years old, and we have flowers on them now. They're supposed be an understory tree, but if you protect them when they are young they can grow in the sun."
Other unique edibles being grown for the sale are blackberries along with red, black and gold raspberries, peanuts, asparagus and rhubarb. And as always a big selection of tomatoes and peppers, with more than 40 varieties of tomatoes and 30 peppers, hot or sweet, will be available.
The Master Gardener's primary chili grower, Jim Bratt, said he will have some of the ridiculously hot Bhut Jolokia, or Indian Ghost Chilies, which reach 750,000 Scoville units, available again this year. Ghost Chilies were previously recorded as the hottest pepper in the world, until they were out-spiced by the Trinidad Scorpion, which is listed at 1 million Scoville units.
Bratt has raised some of those, too, and will have them available at the sale.
"I keep a few plants of all the types of chilies I grow in the garden, and I freeze the peppers in plastic bags in the summer or dehydrate them," Bratt said. "I don't eat the Scorpion peppers by themselves, but I'll use them in a mix of dried peppers ... I'm not interested in just burning my mouth up. I grow chilies from all over the world, and I like to get the combinations of the different types of heat and flavors."
"I actually do cook with the Ghost Chilies," Rexing said. "When I make chili, I just put a whole one in there, and pull it out when the chili is done. If you use it whole, it gives it little spice without being too hot. When the ghost chilies are dried and then rehydrate, they look kind of like tomatoes, so you have to be careful and not miss one."
At the plant sale, there will also be Purdue publications on many of the edibles and one on fruit tree pest identification. There will be a few books for sale as well: "Eat Your Yard," by Nan Chase; "Edible Front Yard," by Ivette Soler; and "Edible Flower Garden," by Kathy Brown.
All benefits of the Spring Plant Sale are used to fund local public projects of the Southwestern Indiana Master Gardener Association. With more than 400 active members, the group donated 20,259 volunteer hours in 2012, and grew more than 12,500 pounds of vegetables for the Tri-State Food Bank.
Public gardens maintained by the Master Gardeners include the Display Garden in State Hospital Park off Lincoln Avenue, University of Evansville Rose Garden, Mesker Park Zoo Gardens and the Reitz Home Garden, as well as many others. They also lead the construction of community vegetable gardens, and provide many school and other educational programs.
Across town at the zoo, Paul Bouseman, zoo botanical curator, said several thousand unique and tropical plants will be for sale.
This year's focus is on native milkweeds plants, red buckeye trees and pond cypress. Bouseman said the sale will also offer needle pines and a banana, which are hardy in this area. Tropical bedding plants to look for include the purple Mexican petunia and bleeding hearts. Also featured are new elephant ear hybrids.
A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Association of Zoological Horticulture Plant Conservation fund.

Aviva Premierships: Bath score five tries to dispatch London Welsh at the Rec
Last Updated: 30/03/13 4:53pm
Bath pushed rock-bottom London Welsh closer to relegation from the Aviva Premiership with a 40-25 bonus-point victory at the Rec.
Still smarting after losing their appeal this week against a five-point deduction and £15,000 fine over the Tyson Keats affair, Welsh stayed in the game until the closing stages despite eventually conceding five tries to one.
The home team's firepower behind the scrum ensured they always had the edge and retained their hopes of a top-six place.
The west country outfit stormed to a 20 point lead with three tries coming in the first 14 minutes of the game from Matt Banahan, Carl Fearns and Fijian
Semesa Rokoduguni with Stephen Donald adding the extra points.
But Welsh were not giving up hope without a fight as they fought their way back into the contest thanks to six penalties from the boot of scrum-half Alex Davies.
Bath then pulled away again as firstly, Donald struck his second penalty of the day before Argentina international Horacio Agulla went over the whitewash to open up a ten point lead.
The Exiles, who came into the contest having not won a match for four months, eventually scored their first try of the afternoon thanks to full-back Seb Jewell and Davies' conversion brought his tally to 20 points.
However, Heathcote restored Bath's two-score advantage with a 75th minute penalty.
Replacement scrum-half Michael Claassens increased the margin of victory with a minute remaining as Bath recorded their first success in three games.

What is metallic bikini product is gal wearing? Where I can purchase it? Thank you
I believe that's "Classic Fantasy" from Aery Soul. Used to be at Renderosity. Not sure if it's still there or not.
"Shall the clay say to the homie who fashioneth it 'Dude, what maketh thou…?'" My Deviant Art Gallery
Aery Soul removed all of their products from Rendo a couple of years ago. They are at RDNA now under the name AflaSeed, and have put some of their old products, plus several new ones, for sale there. But not the Classic Fantasy outfit unfortunately.
The Revolution is coming…
"The universe is big. It's vast and complicated and… ridiculous and sometimes, very rarely, impossible things just happen and we call them miracles…"

Thank you, I hadn't made the connection between Aery Soul and AlfaSeed. Are they making new stuff then? I remember it appeared to be a bit of a commotion when they dropped out of the market previously.
Just because I may have a strong opinion doesn't make it any more (or less) correct than any other, just that I feel passionately a particular way at that moment.
AS seems to 'reinvent' themselves every few years, but they almost always have the same initials…many years ago they went by AwfulSoul…and yeah, they are still making content.

When is too much too much?Posted by: Lori
Category: Behavior Problems
Posted on: October 26, 2001 at 02:33:33
My JRT is very obsessive compulsive about many things. It's too the point where there is nothing stopping him when it's something that he is obsessive about. For instance, he goes beserk over the light of flashlights and vacuum cleaner and light images on the wall, going for a drive, climbing trees, chasing birds, squirrels, kites and planes, and playing tether ball or baseketball. I haven't corrected his behavior on these things but lately some of his behavior has been distruptive and affecting other people. For instance, if kids are playing tether ball or basketball, my dog will just jump in and try hitting the ball with his nose. Now, if kids are playing tether ball, I keep him on leash, but if he sees the tether ball going, he will cry and yelp and tug at the leash to go there. Also, he won't listen when he's going beserk over a kite and I am chasing him in a circle. Once this person's kite fell to the ground and my dog attacked it and tore it to shreds. Can you please provide some suggestions on these problems and whether I should stop him immediately when he becomes obsessive compulsive about things.

This amazing large cameo is probably unique. I have never seen another remotely similar.
Measuring 3 and 5/8 inches wide by 2 and 7/16 inches at the tallest part, it is a detailed depiction of the Holy Family's flight into Egypt to escape the edict of King Herod to kill all newborn babies.
Mary holds baby Jesus as she rides a donkey, and Joseph walks beside them. The high points of the carving retain a thin layer of the darker, peach-colored shell; this highlights the figures and lends an extra depth to the scene. Palm trees frame the scene on left and right. Most rare is the depiction of an Egyptian pyramid in the left background. Circa 1880.
The frame is some carat of gold (the color is a deep yellow gold, suggesting 18 carat), but there are no marks and it has not been tested. Simple C-shaped pin back. Ring at top on back for safety chain and pin, which is missing but could be added easily by any jeweler if deemed necessary.
As a cameo for Christmas activities or any religious occasion, this one is simply magnificent!
I'm happy to provide additional photos on request.
