When I arrived in Lubbock, TX, I was referred to him by a friend. I was very happy with the way he was always looking for properties in a very helpful and cheerful manner. I am very hard to please! He did a great job. We love our new home. If we have to sell our home in the future, I KNOW that I will call Deryl.

Ratings & Reviews
Deryl is a very hard worker who showed me and my husband several houses and lots that were available in the Lubbock and Wolfforth areas. Because he is a Lubbock native, he is familiar with all the schools, businesses and things of interest. We found Deryl to be friendly, easy to talk to and knowledgeable of the real estate market. This made our decision easy and stress free. We would definitely recommend Deryl to anyone looking to make a purchase in the Lubbock or Wolfforth areas.
Deryl Hoodenpyle did a great job helping us find our home in Lubbock. He is very reliable and listens to the needs of his customers. Deryl is familiar with Lubbock and the surrounding schools. He is willing to go the extra mile to make your dreams come true. If you are looking for a home in Lubbock I would recommend you call Deryl Hoodenpyle. He did a great job for us and I know he will do a great job for you as well.
Deryl was very professional and knowledgeable of the "real estate world". We enjoyed working with him and were pleased to call him our realtor. He took the time to listen and was courteous to our needs. He gave us positive suggestions on how to "stage" our home. He was able to get the highest amount possible for the sale of our home and we have highly recommended him to others.
Mr. Deryl Hoodenpyle did a great job representing me when I bought my house in November 2009. Even though I have some knowledge of real estate transactions and I was not a first time home buyer, Deryl was very knowledgeable and thorough in his real estate market research and the assessment of home values. He was always able to answer my questions and he explained complicated real estate terms in easy to understand every day language. He also explained everything within the contracts if I had questions. We looked at several different properties and even made offers on a couple of houses. Deryl's ability to negotiate on my behalf with home sellers and other real estate agents was something that I think was invaluable while looking for prospective homes. He was also patient and personable and always returned my phone calls, emails, or text messages any time I had a question. When I had to sign any contracts or offers, he was always there in person, which I thought was very professional. He had no problem adjusting his schedule to meet me even if I had a busy schedule, which I really appreciated. When applying for a home loan, Deryl referred me to a lender that I ended up using and the home loan process went very smoothly. He is well-connected with other people in the real estate business (lenders, inspectors, etc.). We even ended up closing the deal early and I absolutely could not have been happier with the experience. Deryl took out all of the stress and worry of buying a home and I look forward to the day that I can work with him again.
I bought my first house with Deryl and the process was seamless!! He was excellent at showing exactly what was in my price range and did not try and over sell. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Deryl!! If you want a quick, easy, responsive, and deliberate real estate agent, Deryl is your guy!!!
professional and knowledgeable, he's real busy at times but every great real estate processional has a line waiting on him. Deryl Hoodenpyle knows the Lubbock market better than anyone and helped my wife and I a lot....thanks!
We worked with Deryl to find a home in Lubbock, Texas. We decided to wait until our home in Colorado Springs sells until we buy. In the meantime, after working with Deryl, we are confident as soon as that moment comes, he'll find us a great home in the Lone Star State. I check his website often as it is easy to use. Deryl also is a great resource for all things....Lubbock as he's a native.
Deryl is friendly, enthusiastic and very knowledge of the Lubbock market. I would highly recommend him to satisfy your real estate needs.
Deryl combines his energetic attiude and proactive approach to deliver outstanding results! He made this transaction hassel-free and achieved the targets we needed.
Great Job!

People say I sound muffled, that I'm in a tunnel or there's an echo.
Last Updated: 10/25/2012 3:37 pm
We have found that a small number of people calling someone who has LifeProof'd their iPhone have difficulty hearing the LifeProof talker on regular phone calls. Fortunately, the cause is very simple and so is the fix:
The microphone has a special thin vent that keeps the water out but allows sounds to pass. This normally works perfectly and allows crystal clear calls. However, with some cases when the air trapped in the case causes a positive pressure, the vent is puffed outwards by air pressure a little and then it stretches out to touch the little protective grills (Keeps foreign objects from damaging the sensitive vent) in the bottom of the case. Sometimes the vent then rests against these grills after being stretched to that position and then cannot vibrate correctly to transmit the sound to the iPhone microphone – causing a distant, thin, tunnelish kind of voice to be heard on the other end of a call.
Simple Fix
Look at the phone front-on as you would when you are about to start an app. The microphone port is the hole on the bottom of the case to the lower left of the home button and left of the charge port.
Blow hard into the microphone for about 3 to 4 seconds. The sufficient effort require is akin to blowing a candle out. You could also pretend you were blowing up a balloon by sealing your lips over the hole and then blowing.
This air pressure will push the vent away from the protective grills and liberate your iPhone to crystal clear sound on video recording and phone calls again. You may (or may not) need to do this from time to time if large air pressure changes cause the vent to flex to stick to the protective grill again.
Also, remember to always thoroughly shake water out of the vent area after being submerged because trapped water in the protective grill will also attenuate the sound.
If this doesn't fix the problem, contact LifeProof Customer Support.

White Battery-Operated Paper Lanterns, Set of 3 3 3
Paper Lanterns made shower shine! The lanterns looked beautiful. When tested, they worked, but later when we tried to turn them on, they did not all come on. It would have been nice if they had been brighter, but all in all, they were very attractive. July 9, 2008
Paper Lanterns These were perfect to dress up the atmosphere of the gardens for my daughter's reception. The ribbons we used to tie them matched the wedding colors, and it was beautiful. The lanterns really added an extra sparkle. June 13, 2008

Of all the weeds that can overtake our yards and ruin our gardens, the dandelion reigns supreme. However, despite its invasive nature, nutritionists and herbalists have long understood the value of the misunderstood dandelion.
In fact, both American and Chinese traditional medicines have used all parts of the dandelion to treat a variety of ailments for hundreds of years. Modern bodybuilders still make use of dandelion root tea and the plant can have wide nutritional benefits for anyone.
So instead of just disposing of all those annoying little yellow flowers when they cover your lawn next spring, consider cleaning them up and putting them to use.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, dandelions are a rich source of vitamins A, B complex, C and D. The plant also offers several minerals including iron, potassium and zinc. This is all in addition to the complex collection of plant chemicals that help the dandelion ward of bacterial and fungal infections.
Dandelions also contain a small amount of protein, carbohydrates and fiber, and are fat-free. The high fiber content means that dandelions will make you feel full quickly and, since dandelions have only about 25 calories per cup, the chances of you gaining weight from eating them are very slim, so to speak.
Other Uses and Benefits
The high levels of iron in the leaves and roots of the dandelion have contributed to its use as a liver tonic in many cultures. Although there is primary research to support that dandelions can help to improve both liver and gallbladder health, the studies were poorly designed and could not be replicated by other researchers.
Dandelion root is an effective and time-tested diuretic, however. Bodybuilders commonly use a tea made of dandelion root to quickly lose water weight and attain a more chiseled
look before a competition. The root tea is also thought to soothe an upset stomach and improve digestion, but these uses are generally based on anecdotal evidence. The dandelion root tea is conveniently available at many health food stores if you aren't up to harvesting and preparing your own.
Animal studies have also shown that dandelions may help maintain healthy blood sugar, lower LDL (bad) cholesterol, and raise HDL (good) cholesterol. These results haven't been reproduced, though, and human studies are needed to understand the full potential of this application.
How to Enjoy Them
All these factors considered, dandelions are pretty appealing from a nutritional standpoint. The flavor, though, can be a little off-putting. The greens are bitter and the roots are woody. The flowers do have a slightly sweet flavor but separating enough of them can be a difficult process.
Properly prepared, however, dandelions can be a tasty addition to any meal. The leaves can be tossed into a salad, steamed or even sauteed.
Recipes that call for bitter greens like arugula can easily be modified to include dandelion. The roots should be sauteed until soft and can be added to dishes for a nutty flavor.
If you decide to go foraging, pick a clean area, free from pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. Use a short but sharp knife to cut the plant free, leaving the top of the root intact to hold the leaves together. If you plan on using the roots, simply dig the plants up. Stick to leaves that are small and young, since larger leaves will be more bitter. Make sure to wash the plants thoroughly in warm water.
Have you used dandelion in your diet before? Please tell us about it in the comments.

Comcast's next-gen X1 platform heads west to Calif.
Comcast's X1, which is its next-generation IP/QAM platform, has landed in California after making its debut in Boston earlier this year.
After a trial in Augusta, Ga., last year, Comcast first launched its X1 platform in Boston, followed by rollouts in Atlanta and Chattanooga. X1 is now in front of Comcast subscribers in the San Francisco Bay area, Sacramento, Stockton, Fresno and Santa Barbara, according to a blog post by Comcast Cable's Marcien Jenckes, senior vice president and general manager of video services. Jenckes also wrote that Comcast would be offering X1 in more areas over the coming months.
Comcast's X1 platform, which was originally called "Xcalibur" internally, represents the future of video because it combines cloud-based navigation, personalization and search functions, and an interactive programming guide with customized apps and social media features. Currently, Comcast is using a set-top/gateway developed by Pace, which includes a DOCSIS 3.0 modem, but could source other vendors at some point.
In addition to being a migration path to IP, X1 also lets Comcast customers enable their iPhones and iPad Touch devices as gesture-driven remote controls.
"One way we're redefining how people can experience entertainment is with our X1 platform," Jenckes wrote. "It's unlike any other video service that exists today – it makes the TV-viewing experience smarter, richer and more personalized. Every member of the family can enjoy its sleek and intuitive user interface, easy-to-navigate guide, apps and on-demand recommendations."

Cera is a 3 month old spayed female Domestic Shorthair. My personality is independent but loving. I really enjoy having my back scratched and rubbed. Im shy at first but Im mostly just learning and exploring on my own. I do love my humans, though! Snuggles and playtime are the best way to win me over! Id definitely be happiest in a home with toys and a scratching post or two. Im a little shy around kids but I just need to learn that kids are nice and dont want to hurt me. I lived with my two siblings, six other foster cats ranging in age, my foster parents two cats, and their small breed and large breed dog. After our initial meet, I do great! My favorite toys are shiny fish toys, jingly balls, boxes, cat trees, and scratching posts.

CRESTVIEW — Organizers already are planning for next year's Veterans Day Parade, having named the American Legion its host and eyeing the local VFW and AmVets organizations for 2013 and 2014, respectively.
This year's parade — hosted by local Disabled American Veterans Chapter 57 — drew 32 official marching units, down a few from last year's 40-plus, but last-minute groups that showed up increased the number of participants, organizers said.
"We had 37 total entries this year," DAV adjutant treasurer Debborah "Pinky" Jimison said. "Once you start counting up the people, gosh, we had well over 500 people who participated."
From service members' covers to Shriners' fezzes, Cub Scout baseball caps to clown hats, the variety of headwear worn by marchers as they paraded up Main Street Saturday morning reflected the diversity of a community united by one goal: to honor local military veterans.
Landon Drake, 5, attending with his sister Jordan, 3, baby brother Dayton, 1, mom Leanne and grandmother Melissa Drake, smiled broadly as the groups went by. He seemed happy to receive an American flag to wave from a 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) soldier.
"I told him 'thank you,'" Landon said.
VIDEO: See "Related Media" at top left of this article.
"Wave your flag," Melissa Drake encouraged her grandson. "We're saluting our veterans today."
Standing across Main Street was George Ballard, who had a 20-year career in the Army, serving in Vietnam, Germany, France, Okinawa, the Philippines, and in the U.S. from Alaska to North Dakota before retiring at Fort Rucker, Ala., in 1979.
"I was one of those who received the notice that says, 'Greetings. You are hereby ordered to report,'" Ballard said. "Back in those days, the military was not as popular. I sometimes think we should have the draft today."
The diverse group of participants paraded up Main Street in diverse modes of transport. There were Shriners' racing carts and all-terrain vehicles, antique cars, 7th Special Forces Group armored vehicles, wreckers, one "Hillbilly Cadillac" (a rusty antique pick-up truck), the Crestview Police Department's patriotically painted Humvee, wreckers and civic leaders in golf carts.
Retired Chief Petty Officer Keith Van Doren cruised along, standing on a trailer towing one of the Blackwater ATV Club's vehicles as he tossed candy to cheering supporters. He had entered the Navy during the Korean War, serving from 1952 until his 1978 retirement.
"I'm honoring all my fellow veterans today," Van Doren said.
Crestview City Councilman Charles Baugh Jr. was among the participants, wearing his Air Force sergeant's blues as he piloted his ATV up Main Street. He retired after 28 years in the Air Force.
Many marchers on foot included Cub Scout packs, Crestview and Baker high school JROTC battalions and bands, and the Shoal River Middle School band. Members of the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office posse clattered by on horseback.
"Oooh, I love your horse!" called out Charlotte Bowman, 8, to retired Army Ranger Tom Moody as he rode by astride his horse. Charlotte and her friend Shelby Fetter, 11, were visiting Crestview for the day from Navarre.
Drawing the parade to a close, a woman sat astride the lead of three Loomis Bros. Circus elephants as ringmaster Justin Loomis led the mammals through Crestview's historic heart.
On Sunday, the DAV presented its annual Wall Ceremony at the Okaloosa County Veterans Memorial near the county courthouse. The event, always at 11 a.m. Nov. 11, Veterans Day, was well attended, Jimison said.
"We had a hundred programs to hand out and I only had seven or eight left. We had a good turnout," she said. "We honored World War II veterans by having them stand up and state their name, and giving them a round of applause because they so richly deserve it. There were also a few Korean War vets. The majority of the veterans that were there were Vietnam War veterans."
A veterans' luncheon, hosted by the American Legion, and a flag retirement ceremony hosted by the Knights of Columbus followed the ceremony.

Thalang : Shows
Phuket knows how to put on a good show and several venues offer eye-opening entertainment.
Phuket Fantasea is a family oriented extravaganza and well worth a visit. Simon Cabaret is an adult's only production where transvestites or ladyboys will confound the most skeptical with their well-choreographed cabaret show.
The Aphrodite in Phuket Town is also very popular and draws many tourists to their elaborate cabaret venue.

This report analyzes the evolving role of diaspora philanthropy in countries of origin, and examines the emergence of nongovernmental development actors and new trends in global philanthropy, such as strategic giving and use of online platforms to harness small donations.
Nearly 1 million U.S. residents spend time volunteering abroad each year, including nearly 200,000 first- and second-generation immigrants. As skilled migration and the number of U.S. youth with ancestors in the developing world grow, this report shows the potential for diaspora service volunteers to assist with development in a number of countries.
A growing body of evidence suggests that diasporas play a critical role in supporting sustainable development by transferring resources, knowledge, and ideas back to their home countries, and in integrating their countries of origin into the global economy.
Breakfast briefing with T. Alexander Aleinikoff, Demetrios G. Papademetriou, and Kathleen Newland.
This book explores how developing-country governments have institutionalized ties with emigrants and their descendents. It offers an unprecedented taxonomy of 45 diaspora-engaging institutions found in 30 developing countries, exploring their activities and objectives. It also provides important practitioner insights from Mali, Mexico, and the Philippines.
This report, commissioned by the BBC World Service, seeks to explore the myriad impacts of the global financial crisis that began in September 2008 on migration flows, immigration policies, remittances, and on migrants themselves. Select countries and regions are examined in detail to highlight overarching trends and regional differences.
This report traces the evolution of the link between international study and skilled migration, outlines policy methods that OECD countries are using to recruit and retain international students, identifies policy challenges through a close examination of existing policies and trends, and predicts how the economic recession will affect future international student flows.
This pocket guide compiles some of the most credible, accessible, and user-friendly government and non-governmental data sources pertaining to U.S. and international migration. The guide also includes additional links to relevant organizations, programs, research, and deliverables, along with a glossary of frequently used immigration terms.

The downtown retail store of the Yadkin Valley Craft Guild will be closing on Oct. 20.
"Because of the economy, we can't keep going with it. However, the Craft Guild will still exist," said Barbara Elmore of the Craft Guild. "We are going to continue with ClayWorks and focus more on the pottery end of the Guild."
The Craft Guild closed in December to move in to the old Sew Welcome location at 126 West Main St. The Guild reopened the retail store in February in the new location.
The 35 artists in the guild were notified on Wednesday that the store would be closing.
"If the community still wants to purchase items from the artists, will be happy to get them in contact with the artists to buy from them personally," Elmore said. "We have been fully stocked with exquisite pieces. We are lucky to have all these artists here."
The store will be open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday through Saturday until the store closes on Saturday, Oct. 20.
The Yadkin Valley Craft Guild is located at 126 West Main St. For more information call 835-2717.
Reach Jessica Pickens at 835-1513 ext. 17 or email@example.com.

On the eve of what could be the biggest day in S.C. Education Lottery history, an arrest was made after a quick investigation by the S.C. State Law Enforcement Division into a discrepancy found at the SCEL in early October.
"Appropriate actions have been taken and the accounting discrepancies have been resolved," said Paula Harper Bethea, SCEL's executive director in a release sent out Tuesday. "Anthony McNeil, accountant/fiscal analyst III, who was terminated from SCEL on Oct. 10, was arrested today in connection with the accounting discrepancies. According to our records and SLED's investigation, McNeil embezzled over $200,000 over a period of about two years. The instances were sporadic."
Bethea elaborated to the Aiken Standard on Wednesday, explaining the details of what was found to be a criminal act spread out over two years.
"I discovered the discrepancy on Oct. 5, placed the employee on administrative leave the next day and, by Oct. 9, I had SLED involved," Bethea said. "It was a longtime employee. You don't expect it, but you're always mindful of this."
According to the arrest warrant affidavit, McNeil was in a position with SCEL to collect payments owed from retailers. Over a two-year span he stole more than $200,000, leading to his federal embezzlement charge, officials said.
"McNeil accomplished this by the manipulation and altering of invoices to retailer partners of the South Carolina Education Lottery," the affidavit stated.
McNeil is alleged to have overcharged some retailers and collected less from others. He would then contact targeted retailers and advise them their payments were not collected and that they needed to deposit additional funds into an account – an account set up by McNeil that would end up generating $226,439, reports stated.
Bethea stressed that the retailers affected, of which there was about a handful, were compensated within about two weeks.
"We have paid every single retailer, so we are the victims now," Bethea said.
She was also quick to stress that at no time were the games or players affected.
"All SCEL games, players and prizes were at all times protected," Bethea said. "Although the tightest internal controls were in place, McNeil was intent and found a way to circumvent the procedures. Because of this incident, even more stringent additional monitoring procedures are now in place.
"The people of South Carolina and our lottery players can know that at no time was the integrity or the security of the central gaming system or any of our games affected," Bethea said. "Once we identified what occurred, we immediately began an internal investigation with our internal auditor. Within eight hours, this matter was turned over to SLED for a full investigation. We will prosecute to the full extent of the law, and we will seek restitution."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – The Korean Junior National Team (U18) made a pit stop at the University of New Mexico to compete against the Lobo's men's and women's tennis teams on Wednesday, Sept. 18.
The Lobos played against six members of the Korean National Team in two sessions of singles, doubles, and mixed (co-ed) doubles matches. UNM battled against the highly competitive Korean National Team and ended the day with mixed scores.
The Korean National Team stopped in N.M. on its way to San Luis, Mexico where they will be competing in the Junior Davis Tennis Cup. Head coach Doug MacCurdy, a UNM tennis alumni, wanted his team to gain some extra experience in a new atmosphere before heading to the big tournament.
"In Korea we are at sea level so I wanted the team to practice playing at a higher altitude to prepare for the Junior Davis Cup," coach MacCurdy said.
UNM's Michaela Bezdickova started off the day in a long-fought battle against Korea's Kim Da Bin. Bezdickova fought till the end but eventually came up short against Da Bin, 6-7(4), 6-3, 10-2. In the second session of the day, Bezdickova came out with the victory over An Yu Jin, 6-3, 6-2.
Lobo Samir Iftikhar began his day by defeating Korea's Hong Sun Cheon after two competitive sets. Sun Cheon is currently ranked No. 26 in the world by the International Tennis Federation. Iftikhar won with a final score of 6-4, 6-4.
The Lobos women's team saw more success in the doubles category. Bezdickova and Natasha Smith defeated Korea's Da Bin and An Yu Jin, 8-6. Dominique Dulski and Emily Olivier also took the win in their match as they defeated Da Bin and Choi Su Yeon, 8-3. The men's team came up short in both of their doubles matches.
"On the women's side, I was very pleased with how we competed," head coach Erica Jasper said. "Natasha Smith had an excellent day picking up wins in singles and in doubles. I was also excited to see how well our two freshmen, Dominique Dulski and Emily Olivier competed in doubles."
The Lobos were thrilled to host the exhibition match and show the Korean National Team a welcoming experience.
"This was an awesome day of tennis for us. We can't thank the Korean Federation and their coaches and players enough for coming to Albuquerque to play this exhibition," Jasper said.

Another article that I've found from the NME (22nd October 1988):
"808 State are yet another Manchester acid act with whom A Guy Called Gerald has worked. When John Peel played a track from their debut album 'New Build' recently, he was inundated with letters from House fans seeking out this mysterious release. The answer is simple: Creed Records via Nine Mile.
To make this act a trio, Gerald is joined by Graham of Biting Tongues and Martin, an employee of Manchester's best indie and dance stockist Easter Block Records (sic) (the rivals being Spin Inn, the main soul reailers). The Germanic title and sleeve of 'New Build' hints at what lays inside. Acid House, sometimes a little too clinical, occasionally clumsy, but always with a few new moods.
Soon this lot will be jetting off to Germany for their first re-mix commission - an Afghanistan House singer who wants to spice up an LP track into a dance single! And if you think this is bizarre enough, even stranger things are promised for December when they mix a track for an act calling themselves CELIBATE GENITALIA. All sampling and synths and Psychic TV influences, this South Manchester group have so far only been known for cassettes with such dubious titles as 'Deepthroat' and 'Thunderpussy'!"
(Sarah Champion)
So, the Afghanistan House single was Mohamed's "Ham Safar", but whatever happened to the Celibate Genitalia track?
BTW, who were 'Foot Patrol'?
Also from the article:
"'Voodoo Ray' is based on the fusion House/Jazz dancing of the Manchester dance crew Foot Patrol," he explains. "It's like break-dancing where people make an arena to challenge each other."
Gerald has not rested here either. His debut album for RHAM 'Hot Lemonade' is virtually finished; he produced the bass-line for a T-COY track entitled 'Dream Seventeen' (released under the pseudonym, "Annette" - Nick) on the forthcoming 'North' compilation; and has also produced an anti-drug track with the afore-mentioned Foot Patrol."

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 7 mph
Columbus Day brought the Galloping Ghosts of Randolph High School to Harwood to face the Highlanders' potent offense. The day was clear and crisp as the two teams took the field.
Harwood quickly began to set an up-tempo pace for the game. Harwood forwards Win Parker and Sam Boylan made a series of runs at Randolph goalie Joe Salls, who turned them away. Ten minutes into the game, Harwood senior Chase Johnson launched a blistering shot that hit the goal post bar. Ten minutes later, forward Teagan Drake gave Sam Boylan a nice give and go pass. Boylan got the ball right back to Drake who scored the opening goal.
Harwood quickly put together another one of their outstanding offense passing combinations as Drake got a leading pass to Boylan who one touch passed the ball off to Parker for Harwood's second goal of the day.
With 10 minutes remaining in the half, Boylan had another rush down the right side and made a pinpoint pass to junior Scooter Randolph in front of the goal. Scooter blasted the ball past Salls for his first high school goal. The score was now 3-0.
Harwood was not done scoring for the half. A Randolph defender fouled Win Parker in the penalty area and Harwood was awarded a penalty kick. Sam Boylan took the PK and increased Harwood's lead to 4-0.
The opening of the second half looked similar to the start of the game, with Harwood's offense keeping the ball in the Randolph end of the field. Four minutes into the half Harwood forwards Drake and Boylan again combined for another goal. This time Boylan scored off of a pass from Drake.
At this point, Harwood coach Don Haddox began to take some of the starters out of the game and bring in substitutes. Four minutes later Drake added one more goal with a clean shot off of a pass from freshman Drew Platt.
As Haddox continued to sub and move players around, the play got a bit ragged at times. At one point Harwood's Caleb Hoyne and Randolph's Mackenzie Poirier were given simultaneous yellow cards for a little scuffle on the field and had to leave the game for two minutes. Harwood was able to keep the Ghosts from scoring and the game ended with a final score of 6-0. Harwood's record is now 7-3.
The game stats, which are kept and compiled by Harwood's assistant coach Mark Ewald, were: Shots on goal – Harwood, 16, Randolph, 1. Harwood goalie Lucas Russell had 1 save and Randolph's Joe Salls had 12.
Upcoming Games
Harwood plays Lyndon at home on October 13, Thetford Academy on the 16th at Thetford and Saint Johnsbury in Saint Johnsbury, Thursday the 18th. All games are at 4 p.m.

After Surgery
Post-operative therapy begins in the hospital and continues after you return home. Because most patients experience some pain immediately following surgery, our team of physicians, pharmacists, nurses and therapists has developed a pain management regime using national best practice standards to help control pain. Some discomfort is expected during the recovery phase. Pain control is an important part of recovery and allows rehabilitation to begin as quickly as possible after surgery. Proper pain management improves mobility and enables patients to participate in therapy and daily care activities, thereby resulting in a faster recovery period. On average, joint replacement surgery patients are hospitalized for three to four days. A highly qualified team of nurses, physical and occupational therapists, nutritionists, and pharmacists work with you, your surgeon, and the Total Joint Center manager to keep you comfortable and progressing toward your goals. The Total Joint Center manager will make sure that plans for your continued recovery are communicated to other providers before, during and after your discharge.
Before you arrive at the hospital for surgery, the Total Joint Center manager will make sure everything is in place for your rehabilitation. You probably will seek outpatient physical therapy at an affiliated site or in your own home with a home care service. We have shared our treatment philosophies and procedures with facilities within and outside the Columbia area. We will guide you toward providers who understand our methods and will work with you to achieve optimal joint function. While in the hospital, patients walk in the hallway as part of their physical therapy routine. Historic Columbia Walking Tour medallions are placed at 25 foot intervals in the halls so patients can chart their progress. At each marker there is a framed photo of one of Columbia's historic landmarks with a descriptive caption. Images were provided by Historic Columbia Foundation.
The Total Joint Center manager is an excellent resource for you throughout your recovery and will work with you to arrange any additional services you may need. Working as your personal partner, the Total Joint Center manager will help you complete questionnaires about how you are doing before and after surgery and, following recovery, if you wish, assist you in participating in Tour Guides, our joint replacement surgery volunteer program that allows you to help others who are undergoing joint replacement surgery.
Palmetto Health Richland's Total Joint Center offers a joint replacement program designed to meet all of your needs, from pre-operative information through surgery and follow-up rehabilitation, always keeping your care, comfort and convenience as our primary goal.
Group Rehab
Group exercise classes are held twice daily on the Total Joint Center floor. Our experience has shown that twice-daily rehab, as opposed to the conventional once-a-day regimen, actually makes recovery easier. The classes focus on education related to anticoagulant therapy, home health care and daily activities including getting in and out of the bed, bathroom, shower and car.

Hi, a new Manius chapter has been written and posted. The English version links to the Italian original.
I hope all is well with you all.
Too late to say anything else. See you tomorrow.
Update. What I had to say I have posted over at the Manius Papirius Lentulus blog dialogue section. Here it is.
Latin Poets of the Golden Age
Regarding this painting by Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836–1912) Jenny had asked :
"I need to know which (favorite) poet the Roman women are reading in that painting. I just ordered Slavitt's translation of Ovid's Love Poems, Letters and Remedies. Looks great."
MoR: "According to Rosemary J. Barrow (*L. Alma-Tadema*, Phaidon 2001) the poet is divine *Horace* – I add links for the sake of new readers, and basically am a pedantic teacher to the marrow -, who was from *Venusia*, South Italy, today's Venosa in Mezzogiorno's Lucania also called Basilicata.
Rosaria, a first-generation Italian American blogger, is from Venosa: here she describes her home town; the Ford Coppola family is from Bernalda, Lucania, a town not far from Venosa.
[Incidentally, Rosaria's personal account on his town, with Orazio's statue in the main piazza, and the bay-leaves crown the best school students received, similar to the one Orazio's statue wears, is so compelling]
The bronze wall panel behind the 2 Roman women in Tadema's gorgeous painting has inscribed a few words by Horace. The title of my Manius soap (Misce stultitiam consiliis: Add Folly to Wisdom) is taken from Horace (4 Odes, xii. 28), and the 'act' the buddies in the plot perform in the taberna (read Chanting in an Ænglisc taberna) is one of Horace most perfect choral songs from the *Carmen Saeculare* (Song of the Ages!), probably his most perfect (and classical in the real-deal sense of the term) poem.
Horace (together with Vergil) is Rome's bard and his poems were sacred to the Romans – no easy stuff, Horace; Lord Byron confessed he couldn't understand Horatius Flaccus; but I believe every minute spent on Horace's lines is worthwhile – although sacred, I don't mean it in the sense of the Judeo-Christian 'Revealed Writ' of course. For that – revealed-by-god(s) words – you have to turn, outside the Jewish tradition, to the amazing Orphic Greek literature, for example, which I'm sipping here and there and find terribly inspiring.
True Romans & Celts.
A different temperament?
Horace was the most loved ancient poet in 19th century England. His tone befitted the Victorians who kinda felt like the spirituals heirs of the Romans. He was also fun like most Roman writers (he for ex. preferred the liberty of loving slaves or unintelligent women, since Roman matrons were a headache to him, a tad too matriarchal perhaps, but basically I think he didn't find a long-for-life love (Vergil did, probably, but I guess it was a man) and most of all Horace is the real classical thing more than Vergil in some way, while Tibullus and Catullus (and Vergil) were a bit more … romantic since – so darn interesting for the Manius' blog – they were Italian Celts from North Italy, id est continental Celts, id est cousins to insular, British-Isles, Celts.
I absolutely adore Tibullus and his elegies, so beautiful & melancholic, and Clelia (Tibullus' true love – see a painting below- : differently from Horace he was more or less monogamous: Clelia not by chance is Manius's lost love too.
[Tadema painted Tibullus at Clelia's, and Catullus at Lesbia's – see above and below. How could he not ;-) ]
But Manius is not monogamous. Massimo, the positive hero, is.
Ovid is a sparkling choice Jenny. His verses are peculiar, naturally flowing, and possibly much more fun than all the poets I've mentioned.
All the best Rome could give
ALL these poets are the best Rome could give and were much deeper than the coeval Greek literature, that was extremely refined but void and spineless. Catullus was another first class Italian Celtic poet, very romantic as well. He was in love with the sluttish Clodia he calls Lesbia.
True Romans from Rome were – and still are – not much romantic (in both the arts and common sense of the term); Manius, Massimo, Giorgio (and myself) are partly true Romans, partly North Italian Celtic, so they are a tad romantic too (I guess it takes also bad weather to be 'romantic' lol).
I mean, it all fits together perhaps – or so it seems to the Man of Roma (now Manius) ;)
Then Paul Costopoulos had said:
"Now, Manius, I have a throwing dagger but what tells you how I will use it the only time I will be able to throw it because retrieving it once thrown is rather problematic.
Not being a Roman and being a merchant why would I hurt potential costumers?
Of course you are my friend and that could cause me some scruples and those guys do seem to be cutthroats so they could also be out to cut mine, they seem to be somewhat xenophobic.
All considered, I will side with you after all."
MoR: " Being a merchant why would I hurt potential costumers?
Right Paul, you got into the Pavlos character as I see it at least, probably because it's part of you despite what you may think who knows.
Ulysses, ie the Mediterranean Man
To me Pavols is a symbol par excellence of the Mediterranean Man ready to survive in every circumstance and to exchange knowledge goods symbols experiences with a wonderful good nature – given to him by Helios ok – but with an admirable life balance reached tho thru horrible toil it must be said:
the Med, one often forgets, is a ruthless stepmother and no fertile area as the Nordic European lands.
One reason why the Germans are so big compared to the Greco-Romans and successive Mediterranean people: their climate may be horrible but they got BEEFY in the course of the centuries from the beefy cattle that got (and still gets) BIG – as them – from the fat-and-so-green-from-rain darn grass)
« La rareté en Mediterranée – Fernand Braudel écrit – des vrais pâturage. Elle entraîne le petit nombre des bovin … pour l'homme du Nord le bétail de la Méditerranée semble déficient. La Méditerranée, II, pp. 290-291, Livre de Poche »
You add, Paul:
Now, Manius, I have a throwing dagger but what tells you how I will use it the only time I will be able to throw it because retrieving it once thrown is rather problematic.
Well well, I don't think this to be a problem. I had added the following italic text (but had to prune this and other stuff, it was too verbose:
"Pavlos pulled out an inlaid-with-gold throwing dagger that he always carried with him (even in bed?). He had already shown his ability to use it with deadly precision..
If you have even a colossus before you – Ulysses had one-eyed Polyphemus – you can dispatch him in a second by throwing dagger hurled into the left or right eye (your choice).
But, true, both the Romans & their Greek copain then would all be slaughtered by the rest of the Angles. So yes, Pavols waits for the events to unfold.

MoR: "A side note à propos de Ulysess. In the winter of 1938, at the age of 45, your father's countryman Nikos Kazantzakis from Crete (1883 – 1957) published his "Odyssey" (a modern Sequel) in Athens. A huge tome of 835 pages in 24 books with 33,333 verses!
[visit Nikos Kazantzakis' virtual museum]
There's a good English translation by a Greek American, Kimon Friar (Simon & Schuster, NY 1958).
The two worked together for a long time in order to achieve a good translation. I, being a book maniac, have it on my shelves but have sipped only here and there.
It is as BEEFY as the Germans mamma mia!!"

Chapter 4: Chair Interaction with Department FacultyHiring
The hiring procedure is described in Chapter 7 of the Chair's Handbook. Chairs should consult the associate provost/academic dean and the Human Resources Office for updates on hiring procedures.
Assistance to New Faculty
Once a hiring decision has been made and the contract has been sent out, it is the department's task to send the new hire any helpful information and materials which could help him/her prepare for the move to campus and to prepare his/her curriculum for the following semester. Among the things to consider:
- If the faculty position is not a replacement, request office space through the vice provost no later than May 1st.
- Request a name plate for the office and check the status of furniture - generally the administrative staff in your department or division can help in this process.
- Ensure textbook orders have been placed for new faculty member's classes.
- Provide office number and phone number information for the faculty phone directory.
- Request desktop and academic software through the Committee on Academic Computing or Information Technology Services.
- Request Banner and email ID through Information Technology Services.
- Invite the new faculty member to campus several weeks prior to the start of classes.
- Take him/her to Life Safety (SJU) or Security (CSB) to arrange for college ID's and parking permits.
- Provide a short tutorial on Outlook, Moodle, and Banner.
- Provide information about upcoming IT Training offerings.
- Show new faculty how to access the Faculty Handbook
- Explain expectations for teaching, scholarship, and service
- Explain that the Handbook is the contractual agreement for faculty
- Help the new faculty member locate information in the Handbook
- Ensure you have contact information for the new faculty member during the summer prior to classes to facilitate contact with them for contract and other matters.
- Probationary faculty must be given the departmental scholarship guidelines and the department chair needs to clearly explain these expectations
If the new faculty member is scheduled to teach a course in the common curriculum, he/she will need to be informed of the date of any relevant workshops. Course assignments and schedules should be worked out with the new faculty member as soon as possible after the hiring decision has been made.
To help the new faculty member orient to campus life, ensure that someone in the department with a particular talent for advising shares their insights regarding the department's approach to and tools for academic advising. Advisor resources are also available on the Academic Advising web site. Providing an introduction to the Common Curriculum would also be beneficial.Mentoring
Quality mentoring can make a tremendous difference in the life of a new faculty member and can help the new hire develop to the fullest of his/her potential. All department members can help with mentoring, but clearly the senior members and chair carry most of the responsibility. It may be wise to assign or request a department member as mentor before the new hire begins the school term. The department could prepare written guidelines that offer step-by-step advice and suggestions for assisting both the mentor and the new hire. New faculty need to become familiar with office staff and management procedures, department resources and their location, faculty governance structures, and departmental teaching and advising requirements.
New faculty come to us with passion and zeal, and the challenge for chairs is to foster those attributes with the information and guidance to enable them to succeed.
In addition, LES sponsors orientation sessions for new faculty in the fall and offers additional help (and feedback) sessions throughout the school year. LES organizes an interdisciplinary mentoring program connecting new faculty with an experienced faculty member from another department, for example, someone in history helping mentor someone in the language department.
Learning Enhancement Service (LES)
The LES mission is to enhance student learning by providing opportunities for good teachers to become even better at their craft. We offer a variety of means to this end, but believe that one of the best approaches is to learn from each other. For that reason, LES encourages contributions from staff and all faculty, whether they are part-time or full-time, novice or veteran.
In keeping with the idea that LES is a system of peers helping peers, the program is directed and staffed by active teachers drawn from the faculty. Use of any LES service is entirely voluntary, spurred solely by the individual's desire to improve his or her teaching. As a result, all conversations with members of the LES team are entirely confidential. We are part of any evaluative process.
LES provides specific opportunities for new faculty, which the department chair should encourage new faculty to attend. Having new faculty participate in LES programs is an excellent way to get faculty connected to our institutions and culture.
All faculty should be encouraged to participate in LES - as both a presenter and participant. Chairs can help by identifying faculty who could bring their talents and experiences to our broader community. The chair should recommend possible presenters to the LES director and should also encourage faculty to participate directly.Reviews of Probationary Faculty
Chairs are required to submit annual reviews of probationary faculty members every academic year, with the exception of the year in which the faculty member goes through third year review and tenure review. A copy of the annual evaluation forms is included here. This form may be supplemented by other materials.
Ordinarily, the probationary period is six full years. This may be shortened by agreement with the Provost at the time of hire. Chairs are expected to observe probationary members at least once each semester sharing a write-up of comments and suggestions after the observation. Where time constraints and class schedules allow, the chair should visit each of the probationary faculty member's departmental courses during every academic year. (This may not be possible in large departments.) A copy of the write-up should go to the faculty member as well as be placed in a centralized department file as part of evidence for the third-year and tenure reviews. An annual evaluation is also expected.
Other members of the Department are expected to observe the classes of probationary faculty members, especially those whose sub-field is the same or close to that of the probationary faculty member. The chair should remind the other members of the department to make these class visits.Third Year Review
Probationary faculty need guidance in putting together their review files. Each year, the department chair should instruct the probationary faculty about documentation of activities and expectations for teaching service, and scholarship. As the probationary faculty member puts together the actual file, the chair or another member of the department should instruct the probationary faculty member in the presentation, organization, and content of the file. Sometimes, having a faculty member show a successful file to the probationary faculty as an example can be helpful.
Near the end of the spring semester of the preceding year or early to mid-fall semester of the academic year in which a probationary faculty member is to undergo his/her third year review, the chair calls a department meeting of tenured members to gather a collective review of the probationary member(s). In accordance with the Faculty Handbook 220.127.116.11.2, "the department chair should arrange with the candidate a date for making appropriate materials available for review by department members." Typically, file materials will include:
- Course syllabi
- Vita
- Summaries of student evaluations for each course taught
- Self-assessment memo addressing the criteria in Section 2.5 of the Faculty Handbook
- Evidence of scholarly/creative work
- Plan of professional development
- Other supporting evidence
The purpose of the department meeting is to share insights regarding the probationary faculty member and provide the chair with input regarding the department's evaluation of the probationary faculty member. The chair sends a letter to the Rank and Tenure Committee, summarizing his/her and the department evaluation. A copy of this letter should be provided to the probationary faculty member. Where the chair's evaluation differs from that of the majority of the department, this should be explained in the chair's letter. Each tenured member is also required to complete an individual evaluation form provided by Rank and Tenure. Non-tenured faculty may complete such a form if they wish.Tenure Review/Promotion
The process for departmental and chair evaluation of probationary faculty members undergoing tenure review is similar to the third year review process. A department evaluation discussion is held based on the timing determined by the department chair. Departments can decide whether or not to include non-tenured members in this discussion. Again, the probationary faculty member should submit a file to the department for evaluation leading to possible tenure and/or promotion in accordance with a timetable set by the chair that allows plenty of time for review and reflection. The file submitted to the department need not be in final form, but it should contain all information essential to departmental discussions of the candidate. The final version of the file is due in September of the year designated for tenure review. The chair and the tenured department members must send evaluation letters to the Committee on Rank and Tenure. These evaluations are generally completed by mid-September. The chair's letter of evaluation will be shared with the candidate (for both third year review and tenure review). [See Handbook, sections 2.6.1; 22.214.171.124; 126.96.36.199.1 and 188.8.131.52.2.]Adjunct and Term-Contract Faculty
Depending on qualifications, a faculty member may hold a term appointment (on either a part-time or full-time basis) and be assigned a special rank (e.g. Adjunct Assistant Professor). The chair or some other member of the department should observe the classes of adjunct and term contract faculty and provide oral and written feedback. This is valuable because of the possibility that these faculty members may become eligible later for a tenure-track position in the department, and because some evaluation of a term-contract appointment is essential to the individual's future job prospects. The department may wish to include adjunct and term contract faculty in department meetings, especially when discussing goals, objectives, and processes within the department.
While not required, annual reviews for adjunct full-time appointments may be beneficial for their professional development. Chairs are required to submit annual reviews for full-time term appointments every academic year. A copy of the annual evaluation form is included in here. This form may be supplemented by other materials.Course Assignments
The chair and department members set up a schedule for offering courses yearly or in alternate years and semesters. Department majors and minors must be served through regular, stable offering of required courses. Chairs have to perform the sometimes difficult task of balancing the preferences and interests of individual department members with the needs of the departmental curriculum and of the department's contribution to the Common Curriculum. Chairs should make a concerted effort to ensure that all departmental courses listed in the course catalogue are taught at least once every two years; if there is no realistic prospect of offering a course on a regular basis it should be removed from the catalogue.
See Chapter 10 regarding Chair Interaction with the Director of the Common Curriculum. The chair is responsible for determining a fair method of assigning Common Curriculum responsibilities within the department. All members of the department, both tenured and untenured, are expected to share in the department's contribution to the Common Curriculum.Letters of Support: Sabbaticals and Study Abroad
Department chairs are required to provide letters of support when members of their department request sabbaticals, FDRC grants and apply to lead study abroad programs. Those letters require careful analysis of the merits of the faculty member's proposal as well as planning as to how the department's staffing needs will be best met during the faculty member's absence. Proactive chairs should ask department faculty about their future plans and encourage eligible and interested faculty to apply. Staffing needs must be taken seriously; balancing the institutions' and department's needs in a manner that best serves our overall student body.Service Learning
Certain faculty may be interested in integrating service learning activities into their courses. In such cases, chairs should encourage and direct faculty to the appropriate service learning support group. The Service Learning Program supports faculty members in these endeavors. According to their website, "service-learning is a teaching and learning strategy that integrates meaningful community or public service with intentional reflection and critical thinking. The Liemandt Family Service-Learning Program engages students in working towards positive, sustainable change in the community, while enhancing their own education. These experiences or projects are initiated by faculty who integrate this innovative pedagogy into one or more of their courses. Service-learning experiences can include, but are not limited to, developing or enhancing new after-school programs for school age children, advocating for a homeless shelter or being a companion to the elderly. Before a course begins, the service-learning staff assists faculty in developing appropriate service experiences and identifying key community partners.
Throughout the semester, the service-learning staff provides continuing support to faculty and students by managing many of the logistical aspects of the projects, by maintaining open lines of communication between the faculty, students and community partners and by assisting students in reflecting upon their work within the community."
Faculty in the department who are interested in incorporating service learning into course curriculum should be encouraged to contact staff members in this program for support and assistance.
Students are frequently asking to participate in internships. It is best for the department to have an internship policy that specifically details requirements to participate in an internship for departmental credit and expectations for successful completion of an internship. The department should have a conversation about requirements and expectations and all departmental should know the department's policies.Problems with Department Faculty Members
When conflicts arise within the department, they should be brought first to the chair, who should make a good faith effort to resolve them without recourse to outside authorities. If/when problems occur which cannot be handled within or by the department, or if the chair is a party to the unresolved conflict, the chair should consult first with the academic dean.
If a faculty member wants to initiate a formal grievance, details are in the Faculty Handbook, Section 4.1.

i live for love & animals
A girl who is passionate about art, CG, game design, and especially the rights of animals.
I have always had a heart towards animals. When I feel down they bring me up. Knowing when someone says something to me that scars me for life I know all I have to do is hug my animals. Paul McCartney is my hero. I have liked him since the beginning of fourth grade. When he was a vegetarian I looked him up and I came to Peta. I am addicted to animals, Paul McCartney, and Peta2. I am a huge fan of One Direction. I'm a vegetarian and I love lions and SEALS! Add me!
I really love the environment, and before PETA I thought being vegan was the only thing I could do to help. I'm so glad there's something else I can do, I love showing the posters and stickers to my friends and I even talked my cheer coach into letting me give out stickers at a football game. :D
My life story is a roller coaster, but its a crazy journey and im just along for the ride, trying to make the best out of everything.

Driving Rehabilitation is a specialty program offered by Palmetto Health Geriatric Research Division. There is no question that safe driving techniques require fast, effective and proficient use of the body and mind. Community Mobility is an important means of independence. A driving evaluation is an in-depth Occupational Therapy assessment to evaluate the client's cognitive, visual and physical abilities performed in the clinic and behind the wheel of an evaluation vehicle. The goal of the Driving Rehabilitation program is to help client safely maintain their driving independence for as long as possible.
An Occupational Therapist (OT) will perform the evaluation and assess the client's ability to continue to drive safely in the community, their driving performance in everyday traffic situations, assess for driving equipment in the car, and safe practice in an adapted vehicle with dual controls. The OT will make recommendations for equipment needs such as mirrors, hand controls, spinner knobs, etc if necessary for the client to continue to drive independently and safely. The occupational therapist may need to assist the client with finding a different route which is safer for the client to drive in order to get to their destination safely. At the end of the evaluation the therapist will meet with the client/family and discuss the driving recommendations, possible therapy or training needs or discuss alternate means of transportation.
A physician referral and a valid driver's license or permit is needed to perform the evaluation. The therapist will send the referring physician the completed evaluation with the driving recommendations. A client might be recommended to receive therapy to increase range of motion, strength, improve cognition, increase reaction times, increase visual processing or scanning skills to improve their driving skills safely, or the client may need training to use adaptive equipment safely prior to driving independently with the equipment. Each recommendation is based on the client's performance from the clinic and behind the wheel assessment.
