Everywhere you look these days, it's Bobby Lindstrom, Bobby Lindstrom, Bobby Lindstrom.
The Bend-based blues/rock singer-songwriter seems to get more gigs 'round here than just about anyone else.
So we decided to write about him!
This week, Bobby's playing four shows in five nights. My colleague David Jasper met up with him earlier this week and found about his background and the clarity that comes with being clean and sober.
When he was 17, (Lindstrom) and a friend attended a recording seminar at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and decided to hitchhike from there to Oxnard, Calif. "His cousin lived there, and he wasn't home. We sat out on his porch, and I started playing the blues, just like that," Lindstrom said. "I'm like, 'Dude! Check this out! This is so easy, man.' After that I started listening to B.B. King, Jimmy Reed, Taj Mahal, Little Richard."
He's been writing and playing the blues ever since. The hale, 58-year-old father of a 31-year-old son, Lindstrom describes himself as a recovering addict. He's had a rebellious tendency and an addictive personality from childhood — "long before I found drugs," he said — and has been clean and sober since 1995.
Following rehab, Lindstrom launched into a flurry of writing and recording, and has released a string of six albums since 1999. His most recent two are 2010's "Hungry, Cold & Blue" and "Bring It On," released last year. A disc of blues standards is slated for release this year. (Lindstrom's albums are available at www.reverbnation.com/bobbylindstrom.)
"It's been curious watching myself, as I learn to write and play and start to get some success. Success is the strangest thing for a recovering addict. All of a sudden, everything is working," he said. "The last couple of years, everything that I've been through is starting to make sense. It's starting to come into focus."
I hope you'll click here and read the whole thing.
For my Feedback column this week, I spent Saturday night taking in some hip-hop: The Coup, Busdriver and Buck 65 at Bend WinterFest. Here's an excerpt:
To paraphrase that great, graceful star of stage and screen known as Meat Loaf, I would do anything for a quality hip-hop show in Bend … even that.
And by "that" I mean "traipse around Bend's west side on a bone-chilling February night to see three interesting and imaginative rappers perform in a town that has experienced a dearth of good hip-hop in recent months."
Even that, I would do.
Let's get this out of the way: Saturday night was cold. So, so cold. Cold enough that my brilliant plan to park at the Century Center, walk a mile or so to Bend WinterFest to see Oakland-based funk-hop group The Coup on an outdoor stage in the Old Mill District, and then walk back to the Century Center for an indoor afterparty show by oddball rappers Busdriver and Buck 65 didn't seem so brilliant at about 9:45 p.m., as I trudged along Simpson Avenue, teeth chattering.
What can I say? I don't look at weather forecasts.
I promise the whole thing isn't about me. In fact, the rest is about the shows. Read the whole thing by clicking here.
Also in this week's music section: G. Love & Special Sauce return to the Domino Room, Greensky Bluegrass is back in town tonight, and a ton of locals: Five Pint Mary, Rural Demons, Blackflowers Blacksun, Johnny Forrest, Boxcar Stringband, Flannel Bandana. Plus we've got a photo album of Third Seven's tour of Europe right here. He'll play a homecoming show Monday.

I have had other seat covers on this car, and they never stayed on. These Wet Okole fit great, and stay on the seats. they match the interior pretty well, and add some comfort. Installation is a little tough becuase of the tight space under a Corvette's seats, but it is worth it.

text: New York is a state in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States and is the nation's third most populous. New York's borders touch (clockwise from the west) two Great Lakes (Erie and Ontario, which are connected by the Niagara River); the provinces of Ontario and Quebec in Canada; Lake Champlain; three New England states (Vermont, Massachusetts, a ...nd Connecticut); the Atlantic Ocean, and two Mid-Atlantic States, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. In addition, Rhode Island shares a water border with New York. New York City, which is geographically the largest city in the state and most populous in the United States, is known for its history as a gateway for immigration to the United States and its status as a financial, cultural, transportation, and manufacturing center. Contrasting with New York City's urban atmosphere, the vast majority of the state is dominated by farms, forests, rivers, mountains, and lakes. New York's Adirondack Park is the largest state park in the United States. It is larger than the Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Glacier and Olympic National Parks combined. In general, New York has a humid continental climate and is heavily influenced by two continental air masses: a warm, humid one from the southwest and a cold, dry one from the northwest.Show More

Mike Dolce breaks down TRT and its place in MMA | News
FOWLKES: One of the things that seems odd about the current TRT situation in MMA is how many guys and you've worked with some of them suddenly claim to need it. We're talking about a powerful hormone that is essential in helping people become big, strong, explosive athletes in the first place, and now all these big, strong, explosive athletes say they have chronically low levels of the very hormone they'd need just to get to this point? It seems like either this sport is lowering people's testosterone the longer they stay in it, or else they don't really need it in the first place.
DOLCE: I'm with you 100 percent. That's why I think the list of the criteria to enter into the TRT program should be extremely stringent. But the athlete's need, the patient's need, in some cases is legitimate. Those are the guys I believe are stepping up and they're risking the public scrutiny by saying, hey, I'm doing this because my doctor says I should and the athletic commissions have legal remedies to allow someone in my situation to do this. The guys who are actually speaking up and being above-board with it, I don't think they should be vilified. That was really the point of my rant on the podcast. They shouldn't be vilified. They're coming forward, letting their blood be reviewed by multiple agencies and entities. The media can be skeptical, but they're being above-board about it and then they're just getting kicked in the nuts.
I think that's the wrong way to go to truly clean up the sport. I think there should be tremendous oversight. I believe guys in the TRT program should be tested every four weeks, 12 months out of the year. If you're in it, you're in it for life. You get tested year-round, and if you're above you get suspended. No fine, just straight to a safety suspension for four months, which seems like a good starting point. And while you're suspended, you should still have to produce four months worth of blood work before you're allowed to compete again. Because there are guys with a legitimate need, and they're the ones getting vilified.
FOWLKES: You mention being in the program for life. If we look at a guy like Nate Marquardt, who made that same claim everyone makes, saying his levels were low according to his doctor, got a legitimate prescription, all that. But then when it caused him some career problems, he got off it. Doesn't that just prove, at least in his case, that he never really needed it? If you can be off of it and still compete at that level, how legitimate could the need have been?
DOLCE: I'm not a doctor and I don't have access to his blood work or health history, so I'm just going to speak from an outside perspective. I believe Nate stopped using it based on the external, not because of how it made him feel or his blood work all the internal stuff. He stopped, I think, because of all the extra baggage and the media scrutiny. That's exactly what I'm talking about. He became vilified and left a medically sanctioned program because it was just easier. I'm assuming that Nate did everything above-board, that it was all legitimate. If it was legitimate and if it was agreed to by the commission, why shouldn't he be allowed to do it? He got off it, which I would argue makes him less healthy now. Now he could be at risk, and look at his last performance. He had a sluggish, poor performance against [Tarec] Saffiedine, who's amazing. A fight's a fight, but that one additional point against him, I could say that did him a disservice.
FOWLKES: But OK, so say he looks sluggish because he's not injecting testosterone. Does that alone make it justifiable? What's the worst that happens to a fighter with legitimately low testosterone levels if we don't allow him to artificially raise his levels?
DOLCE: It's not just athletes; it's humans. A decline in testosterone creates a whole array of physical, mental, emotional issues. Those are well-documented, more than I could give service to in this conversation, but things like depression are very common. Fatigue. Increased likelihood of injury. Those are all very high up on the list, and that's not good if you just feel like crap every day, not so unlike a diabetic who goes without insulin. Something happened to you to make your hormone levels that way. Now, whether it was self-caused or not, that's tough to prove. But for whatever reason, their body is not producing this essential hormone that allows them to feel good and operate at a normal level. Never should anyone be above normal. Guys in the TRT program, they're sub-normal, not just for their own reading, but for all men in their age group.
FOWLKES: The issue of the root cause, though, seems especially problematic. As you mention, it's tough to prove what caused it, but one thing we know is that abusing performance-enhancing drugs can cause this. If you abuse steroids or testosterone and then get off of it, your hormone levels plummet. How do we know, when we look at somebody applying for TRT, that we aren't looking at someone who has done this to himself? Doesn't that matter?
DOLCE: It does matter. Unfortunately, it would be very hard to go backwards on that. Very hard. But we can start moving forward by doing those four-week blood tests to see how his levels change. It's hard to determine the root cause. It could be from excessive weight-cutting, which is not uncommon. It could be from concussive blows to the head, which is another thing that can cause hormone levels to go down over time.
FOWLKES: Let me stop you right there, with the point about concussive blows to the head. It seems like an insane argument to say, well, this guy has suffered so much head trauma as a fighter that we must allow him to inject testosterone in order to allow him to suffer more head trauma as a fighter. That's crazy, isn't it?
DOLCE: I agree, and that's something I've said before, is that all fighters should get a CT scan immediately after every fight. We need to see, are there any spots? Is anything changed? That should be done immediately after the fight, not when they start forgetting their kids' names or slurring their speech. I'm a big advocate of fighter safety. I only want healthy people in this, and that's why I talk about TRT. I want us to be as healthy as we can be due to both lifestyle and the advances of modern medicine, which we just can't deny. But we should do it with the least amount of medicine and doing as much as we can through lifestyle.
FOWLKES: But then there's the issue from the other side, from the guy who's not on it but has to fight a guy who is. You're a fighter. You know what it's like to stand in there and look across at some other guy who's there to hurt you. Would you want to be in there with a guy who had been injecting testosterone for the last few months while he got ready to fight you?
DOLCE: You know, in the gym we train with guys who are taking a hell of a lot more than TRT. I would much rather myself, or my athletes fight a guy in the TRT program, because at least then you know he's being monitored by these agencies and I know exactly what he's doing. The guy who's not in any program but is trying to fulfill a need in a different way, who knows what he's doing? That guy's scary, because he's doing it in the dark. I want it to be above-board. And the amount of testosterone these guys are taking, it's a relatively minuscule amount because they cannot exceed normal. That's another point I made on the podcast.
FOWLKES: But what Nevada defines as normal is as high as 6-to-1 for a testosterone-to-epitestosterone ratio. Most people are at 1-to-1. Most other states do 4-to-1. So it seems like if you're a normal guy walking around at 1-to-1 and you go up to 4-to-1, you're still under normal in Nevada, but that's four times what you started with. That seems like the definition of performance-enhancing.
DOLCE: As I understand it, that's not the criteria that the commission and the doctors use. I understand and I'm not on the commission, but this is what I get from the fighters and their teams, since it affects what I do but it's a different number. I believe it's their total testosterone level. It's what's actually inside their body, regardless of the ratio. I believe that number, the high end is around 800. I believe that guys below 300 are the ones considered for the TRT program. Some of those guys are in the low hundreds. That gives you an idea how low they are. I think the ratio, as I understand it, is not used to determine inclusion in the program. That just opens them up for further testing as an initial flag.
FOWLKES: Yes, that's true, the ratio is not how they determine whether you should be allowed to use testosterone, but it is how they look at your drug test sample to determine whether you're over. They look at that ratio and that flags you as positive for elevated testosterone levels. That's how Chael Sonnen got caught. That's how Alistair Overeem got caught. What I wonder with you is how you square TRT with the rest of your philosophy, because I know your approach is so holistic and food-based. As you told me once before, the first thing you do when you come in to work with a new fighter is to get rid of "the powders, potions and pills" that they might be on as far as supplements and the like. It seems to me that that approach and the approach that says, hey, some guys need injections of synthetic testosterone, those two things seem in direct opposition to one another.
DOLCE: It's no different than injecting insulin if you need it. I see the science, I see the medical need, I don't see it as anything different than insulin. In fact, insulin is much more of a PED. There's a lot of research on that. Insulin can be a major PED, and that's easy to get and take. That's no problem. Look at bodybuilding, and it's everywhere. Testosterone, I think, isn't in the same category. There should be a stringent program to determine and monitor who does it and how they do it. I'm not saying that everybody should get on testosterone. But the guys who need it shouldn't be vilified. That's my main point. These guys are giving their blood work. Think about it, you can't ask for someone's blood work. That's one of the most private things in the world. These guys are willingly giving it.
FOWLKES: But they're giving it to a state athletic commission, and one of the major issues I have is with the competency of those commissions to deal with something like this. I don't know if you've heard when the Nevada State Athletic Commission reviews applications for therapeutic-use exemptions, but they use a doctor who is not an endocrinologist. This isn't even his field. And plenty of fighters, they get these prescriptions in the first place from their personal doctor, who is not an endocrinologist. I've heard of fighters who got them from spine specialists. People aren't seeking out the experts on this stuff. If we're looking to the athletic commissions to tell us what's justified and what isn't, I don't know how much faith we should really have that these commissions are even qualified to do this.
DOLCE: I agree. By and large, the commissions, the government agencies, the bureaucracy, they do a terrible job. As individuals, the commissioners themselves are good guys doing the best they can. But the agencies get absolutely nothing done. I mean, look at the judging. My mother can tell a bad call, and that happens all the time under the commission's oversight. They have no criteria to fix it. People's careers are on the line, millions of dollars, and this happens. But with the TRT program, I agree, the most brilliant minds in the field should be attached to this. It seems like a simple issue. I say everyone should be tested more, let's find out what everyone's issues and intentions are, and let multiple agencies with different agendas oversee it and determine if it's good or not. I think it's important so that the fans know the doctors, the commissions are all on the same page. No one's stepping up to do it, but the guys who are coming forward and being public about their use, they don't deserve to be vilified because of that.
FOWLKES: What I wonder is, since we're talking about a violent combat sport where the consequences could be so dire I mean, we're not talking about baseball here, where the worst thing that happens from PED use is you hit a ball farther or throw it faster this is people hitting each other in the head. At what point do the risks of allowing it outweigh the benefits to the few who need it? If we had to let a few fighters' low testosterone go untreated, would that be worth it to ensure that other fighters aren't risking brain damage by being punched in the head by people who are on this powerful hormone?
DOLCE: The question of combat sports is difficult. It is different. When we're talking about combat sports or football or rugby even NASCAR the athletes assume a specific risk. That drives the sport. People watch for the risks, for the crashes, for the contusions. Good or bad, that's the risk, and these athletes know it. They're signing up to hurt and be hurt. The TRT program, with proper oversight, I don't believe will adversely affect the opponent's probability of getting hurt, or getting hurt worse. If anything, I think it would protect their safety more because of the oversight and regulation. I mean, it's still punching and kicking at the end of the day. It's a rough business.
FOWLKES: But say you're a young guy who wants to be a pro fighter. Say you're 22, maybe you've had a couple pro fights, and you dream of getting to the UFC. You hear about all these UFC fighters on testosterone more and more lately, it seems, and we always seem to hear about it after they fight rather than before but how are you not going to feel like, even if you don't want to, you might have to do this stuff just to compete at that level? Doesn't that seem like the really pernicious part of it, the way it makes the guys who want to compete clean feel like they can't?
DOLCE: Yeah, that's a good point, and that's part of a whole other conversation. That's part of why I talk about it, because we need to talk about this in the open and be honest. The kids out there in their teens, whether they're just trying to gain weight because they're sick of getting bullied, or whether they're pursuing a career in mixed martial arts, guys at that stage of life just want to get bigger and stronger. We need to communicate to them that drugs are the wrong way to go. There are so many natural processes happening at that stage of life. The guys that take drugs ruin it, and they will end up needing something like the TRT program down the road. Don't shut off your own supply.
FOWLKES: Last question: I don't know how closely you follow other sports, but in the recent voting for the Baseball Hall of Fame, no one was elected. Several players from baseball's "steroid era were eligible, but looking back at them now it seems like baseball is shutting those guys out, maybe due to a collective sense of shame of what went on there and how long it was allowed to go on unimpeded. Are you not worried that we're in that same kind of era right now in MMA with all this TRT? How many high-profile fighters need to be on TRT before we get to a point that will embarrass us when we look back a few years from now?
DOLCE: I agree, but I think we might feel that way about insulin, which nobody is doing much about, regardless of its powerful anabolic effects. ...Insulin is the most powerful anabolic agent in existence. Testosterone is its less powerful younger brother, truly.
FOWLKES: But that's like saying that because one substance is poorly regulated, we shouldn't worry about other substances. If we aren't doing enough about insulin, that does not form an argument for doing less about testosterone.
DOLCE: We should do more about everything. That's what we could do if we have them submit a complete blood panel every four weeks. We need to know, are you a robot or not? Are you a real, legitimate, healthy athlete? Are you healthy for your own safety? Then we could catch some of these other issues, things like kidney problems from tough weight cuts. I wish the commissions and everyone else would jump on board. The blood work is not that expensive, not to make sure everyone is healthy. I think the only thing we can do here is move forward with proper oversight and regulation. I don't think it's possible to go backwards.

Something to prove: UT senior defenders eager for new seasonWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Heading into 2011, it was clear as to why the Rockets were tabbed as the favorites to capture the Mid-American Conference title in the league's preseason poll. Toledo had nine starters returning on offense and eight on defense after finishing 8-5 in 2010 and reaching its first bowl game since 2005.
Prior to UT's 2011 season opener, however, that number of returning defensive starters dropped to seven following a torn labrum suffered by senior free safety Mark Singer, which cost him the entire season. Singer was a top-five tackler for Toledo in 2010, also registering two interceptions.
By week two, the Rockets' defense was down to six returning starters after junior linebacker Dan Molls suffered a lower leg injury during practice. By week seven, only four returning defensive starters from 2010 remained following injuries to junior defensive end T.J. Fatinikun and junior strong safety Jermaine Robinson against Eastern Michigan, with Fatinikun's dislocated elbow sidelining him for the remainder of the season.
Despite the injuries, multiple defensive lineups and departure of its head coach prior to facing Air Force in the Military Bowl, the Toledo defense persevered. UT finished the 2011 season as the No. 3 team in the country and No. 1 team in the MAC in turnover margin, helping the Rockets capture their first bowl victory since 2005 with a 42-41 win over the Falcons in the Military Bowl.
"Adversity's going to make everyone stronger, and it definitely played a role into some of the guys coming back for this season," said Molls, who finished third on the team with 70 tackles in 2011 despite missing six games due to injury. "It really kind of created that spark for our defense."
This year, Molls will be one of seven seniors starting on UT's defense and one of five returning starters from 2011. The other seniors slated to join him in the starting lineup are the aforementioned Fatinikun, Robinson and Singer — the last received a medical redshirt to come back and play this year — cornerback Byron Best, linebacker Robert Bell and defensive tackle Danny Farr.
"We're just hungry," Molls said. "It's our senior season, and we really want to make a statement this season."
Even though he only played the first six games of 2011, Fatinikun showed the league enough in those contests to garner Third-Team All-MAC honors. At the time of his injury, the Perrysburg grad was leading Toledo and tied for third in the MAC with 7.5 tackles for loss to go with a team-high 2.5 sacks.
"It's a lot of playmakers out on our field now on that defensive side of the ball," Fatinikun said. "We've got a lot of speed and a lot of strength, and I think that's one thing we're going to be able to showcase a little more with our schemes now."
This year's unit is led by new defensive coordinator/linebackers coach Tom Matukewicz. Known to the players as "Coach Tuke," Matukewicz comes to UT after spending the last four seasons at MAC West Division rival Northern Illinois, where his most recent position was linebackers coach.
At NIU, Matukewicz helped the Huskies earn a MAC West title in 2010 and a MAC Championship in 2011. In each of his first two seasons at Northern Illinois, the Huskies also ranked No. 1 in the MAC in total defense.
"One of the things that was really important for us once the season got over [with] is putting our kids in the best position to have the right leadership around it, and I was able to keep so many of our staff members that have helped us be successful," Toledo head coach Matt Campbell said. "But one of the great opportunities was the opportunity to go get somebody to lead this defense, and there's no question we found the right guy."
Bell, who finished second on the team with 78 tackles last season in his first year as a starter for UT, echoed Campbell's sentiments.
"You might get a couple laughs, but he's all about his business and he likes to have fun when he's doing it," Bell said of Matukewicz. "He always says, 'If you don't have fun today, it's your fault.' "
With new leadership, experience and a MAC Championship as the goal, fun is just what the Rockets' seniors expect to have on defense this season.
"The main thing I can tell you is just 'Watch out' because everybody's flying to the ball," Bell said. "That's all I can say."

"I'm not going to vacuum until Sears makes one you can ride on."
Roseanne Barr
Tulips and daffodils are blooming. Butterflies and birds are flying under sunny skies. It's springtime! What better way to chase away the winter blues than to get your blood pumping by doing a bit of spring cleaning. A recent British study showed that the Brits burn over 50,000 calories a year (which adds up to almost 15 pounds of fat) just by cleaning their homes.
Here is a list of the top 10 highest calorie-burning chores (listed from the lowest to the highest, with the average number of calories burned per year). The good news is that the more you clean, the more calories you'll burn through. And the more body weight you're carrying, the more calories you'll burn. Not only will you get your workout, you'll have a clean house to enjoy afterward. So, get out that vacuum and get cleaning!
If you have outside space, you can burn even more calories by gardening (246 calories per hour), raking (264 calories per hour), or mowing the lawn (a whopping 363 calories per hour).
Now that you've cleaned the whole house, kick back with a tall glass of water and enjoy your handiwork. And remember that the same British study mentioned earlier showed that housework gave more of a workout than spending an hour at the gym. So, the next time you don't feel motivated to haul yourself down to the gym, put on your favorite music, and pick up your vacuum instead. Remember, doing your housework faster and more intensely not only makes for a better workout; you'll be done with your chores sooner. Happy cleaning!

(December 8, 2009) - The State Highway Administration (SHA) is continuing work on the intersection at US-40/Edgewood Drive.
Crews are now performing drainage work as part of a $7 million intersection improvement project in Washington County. In a few weeks, SHA will start the widening on westbound US 40 and northbound Edgewood (Robinwood) Drive. SHA anticipates completing the overall project fall 2010, weather permitting.
SHA is improving US 40 and Edgewood Drive by:
• Widening existing two-lane US 40 to three through-lanes between west of I-70 and east of Mt. Aetna Road;
• Widening Edgewood Drive to two through-lanes between the Hoffman Auto Mall and Mt. Aetna Road;
• Improving traffic operations at the intersection by adding new double left-turn lanes from southbound Edgewood Drive to eastbound US 40;
• Enhancing the existing traffic signal to include accessible pedestrian signals (APS) to assist those crossing the intersection. The APS system is an automated voice that alerts pedestrians when to cross; countdown signals display a timer, showing how much time is remaining to safely cross the street;
• Enhancing pedestrian safety with new ADA-compliant sidewalks along westbound US 40 and on Edgewood Drive in both directions throughout project limits; and
• Improving the existing stormwater management system.
During construction, motorists can expect lane closures to occur Mon. through Fri., between 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and nightly from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Single lane closures will allow greater safety for highway crews working on the road and for motorists driving through the work zone. Crews may also need to close a lane of Edgewood Drive, Mon. through Fri., between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
For more information about this project, call SHA's District 6 Office at 301-729-8400 or toll free at 1-800-760-7138. You can also visit SHA's traffic safety Web site at www.choosesafetyforlife.com.

Soccer is a team sport. When each player operates within a well-orchestrated system, a team succeeds. If roles aren't defined and players operate out of order, that team's season is often cut short come playoff time.
That's why Wando boys soccer coach Shilo Tisdale isn't concerned with the new implentation of rules barring high school soccer athletes from playing for their school and an academy team. Four seniors who have signed Division I scholarships will not finish their high school careers because of the rule, but two collegiate signees return – Eric Clark (College of Charleston) and Andrew Davis (South Carolina).
"There's no superstar. There's 12 or 13 solid players who I could name," Tisdale said when asked to identify a few notable players on the roster.
Wando's soccer program is enjoying a stretch of success as 2011 state champions and 2012 state runners up. Tisdale doesn't see the Warriors falling off that peak anytime soon. "Expectations are high," he said. "I think we learned a lot from that loss in the state final last year."
Classes are balanced with nine seniors, eight juniors, seven sophomores and two freshmen. Wando defeated Hilton Head in its first preseason scrimmage, 3-1, Feb. 8. The Warriors followed that up with a 2-1 win over Clover a week later. Results from Wando's final scrimmage against Northwestern were not available at press time.
A particularly entertaining game this season that Tisdale noted was a contest against Academic Magnet, May 2, on senior night. The Raptors are ranked No. 1 in the state's 2A classification.
"There's no complacency with this team," he said. "These guys are committed."
It's not where you start, but where you finish that matters.
The Bishop England boys soccer team has battled rival Academic Magnet for local bragging rights, state rankings and championships for years. This season is no different.
Academic Magnet is the preseason No. 1 in 2A. The Battling Bishops are No. 2.
"The top two programs right now in 2A - for the whole state, really - is Bishop England and Academic Magnet," coach Ed Khouri said. "They've done a good job over there."
The Bishops opened their preseason with a 2-0 loss to Hilton Head, this past Saturday. They play at Ashley Ridge, Feb. 27, in their final scrimmage before beginning the regular season.
Khouri used the phrase "rebuilding" to describe his team, but that needs clarification. Often, rebuilding is a friendly term for suffering losing seasons while younger players adjust to an increased athletic level.
Bishop England might be better categorized as reloading. There are six seniors, and five of them are starters. "Everything is on their shoulders to, more or less, control the younger ones, mentally," Khouri said. "We have a lot of underclassmen right now, which is a good omen."
Drew Costa, Ross Rogers, Mateo Gomez, Zachary Hooper and Zachary Khoury will be especially relied on this year. Costa, who also played kicker and punter for the football team, dictates the middle as a center midfielder. Roders is a 4-year varsity player and resumes goalkeeper duties.
Khouri described the Bishops' formations are flexible, as they can employ three or four midfielders, based on opposing lineups and situational plays.
"We have a system of play, so what I have to do is see if I can blend the younger ones to certain positions to get a good overall result as a group," he said. "That's one of our recipes over the years, because you just keep reloading."

Dear Scott: What happened to the signs that were once in every beauty shop? The signs that clearly stated what was available and how much it would cost. Cut and blow dry, cut and cream rinse, perm, etc. Now most salons have no price list, and it is a surprise after your appointment. I understand that the stylist needs to look at the hair and decide what needs to be done but really no one likes a surprise when it comes time to pay. I guess it is a bit ridiculous to see signs that state cut and blow dry, cut and special deep conditioner, perm and comb out, and second rinse, hair spray, gel are extra. It would be sort of like ordering a burger with extra cheese but hold the pickle and toast the bun. Do you have any suggestions as to how to navigate an appointment without getting a big surprise when it comes time to pay?
Answer: The salon business structure may seem the same as 25 years ago to a client. For the salon owner and hairdresser, everything has changed.
In the past, a salon owner made an investment with the expectations of receiving a return on the venture. Commercial real estate rental, remodeling and expensive equipment were purchased. Hairdressers were hired to work on commission. This was a good arrangement for all involved. New talent and qualified stylists who could not afford the investment or did not want the responsibility were paid good commissions, and a salon owner could make money from their initial investment. The salon owner also had control over the practices of the staff.
Then, salon owners got the idea to rent booths to established stylists. Renters pay a small amount weekly for the use of a chair and the amenities of the salon. These people are responsible for their own advertising and cliental following. This was thought to be an easy way for salon owners to pay bills and not worry about building a stylists clientele base. The booth renters are also responsible for the maintenance of their own education, eliminating the responsibility of educating the staff.
As long as the rent is paid every week, the quality of work or professional ethics seem to be up for debate since these individuals are considered self employed and not employed by the salon.
Sadly, the salon owner of today cannot justify the expense of educating and building a business for new talent that will move to a salon that offers booth rental once their business has been built.
Booth renters are permitted to charge whatever they like for their services, making a posted price list almost impossible. If price is an issue, it is best to ask how much something costs before you buy it.

Help & Advice
How to guides
How to prepare your walls for decorating
Walls almost always need some surface preparation before you can start painting. Even brand-new plaster needs sealing. You should fill any cracks and holes and make sure all surfaces are clean, smooth and dry. You can paint over emulsion-painted surfaces that are in good condition, but make certain you strip back or sand off any peeling paint.
Buying guides
Primers buying guide
If you're painting on bare wood, plaster or metal surfaces, you'll get a better result if you use a primer first. It provides a surface which the paint can bond to and stops the paint being absorbed. Find out more what you need and for what surface.
A splash of paint for your garden
A colourful garden doesn't always have to be created with just plants and flowers, especially if you're not a keen gardener.

Carpenter Technology Corporation has licensed a new alloy developed at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Carpenter Technology Corporation is a leader in the development, manufacture and distribution of cast/wrought and powder metal stainless steels and specialty alloys including high temperature (iron-nickel-cobalt base), stainless, superior corrosion resistant, controlled expansion alloys, ultra high-strength and implantable alloys, tool and die steels, and other specialty metals as well as cast/wrought titanium alloys.
The new alloy, developed at ORNL by Phil Maziasz, Bruce Pint, Michael Brady, Zhaoping Lu, Chain-tsuan Liu, and Yukinori Yamamoto, is unique in that the composition allows for alumina scales to form on the exterior of the steel, which provides significant oxidation resistance. In addition, the alloy displays excellent creep strength at high temperatures (700-800 Celsius). While some of these characteristics may be found in existing alloys, this new alloy can be produced at a lower price than other existing alloys which require high amounts of nickel.
Any application in which high temperatures or corrosive environments are encountered could be a potential application of this technology. Some examples include recuperators and heat exchangers, down hole drilling, and chemical processing equipment and materials. The agreement with Carpenter allows for the sale of the alloy in a variety of bulk forms that have been vacuum melted.

McFARLANE TOYS SALUTES ROGER CLEMENS
'The Rocket' Collector's Edition Is McFarlane's Newest Sports Pick
Friday, June 30, 2006
One of the greatest pitchers in baseball history has returned to the old ballgame, as Roger Clemens re-joined his Houston Astros teammates on June 22. It's the 23rd Major League season for "The Rocket" and his return opened the door for McFarlane Toys to create a new Sports Picks figure. Although Clemens has appeared in Sports Picks lineups recently (as an Astro in MLB 10 and at the 2004 MLB FanFest in Houston, in 2003 as a Toronto Blue Jays surprise figure in MLB 6, and as a Boston Red Sox surprise figure in MLB 3) they've all been repaints of his original pose (as a New York Yankee in MLB 2).
We had originally scheduled our new-sculpt Clemens figure as part of this spring's MLB 15 lineup, but since Clemens didn't sign with any team in the off-season (opting to pitch for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic and work out privately) we didn't own the rights to use his likeness, since unsigned free agents are technically not part of the Major League Baseball Players' Association. The sculpted figure sat for a few months, and finally received the "green light" once Roger made his season debut on June 22.
The production timeline leaves our Clemens figure completed too late to be added to this summer's MLB 16 lineup, so he'll be offered as a special window-boxed "Collector's Edition" figure -- scheduled to arrive in retail stores in early November. There will be two versions of this special Clemens figure: a pinstriped Houston Astros version available at mass retail and through specialty retailers, and a pinstriped Yankees version available exclusively through the McFarlane Toys Collector's Club and in our retail store in Arizona.

Sociable Labs B
Arar Han; Russell Siegelman
Price: $4.27
Sociable Labs was conceived as a start-up business attempting to use friend recommendations to curate and recommend purchase opportunities on the internet. Much as his Facebook social events app helped friends discover events based on their friends' events, founder Nisan Gabbay wanted to show users what their friends were buying or "liking," in the hope that such knowledge would help guide their purchases and even enable merchants to use Facebook to help grow their sales. How would he discover what his customers needed and what they were willing to pay for?
Learning objective:
To apply the customer discovery model put forth by Steve Blank in his Four Steps to the Epiphany and the practices advocated by Eric Ries in his The Lean Startup. This three-part case tackles, stage-by-stage, the issues an entrepreneur faces in validating and testing a customer market for a new social marketing product.

Newbies, Post in Welcome Central to open up the boards
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
There used to be a commercial campaign in the United States that sorta fits these accusations against Gary and Charlie. I'm not sure if there were ever any international equivalents to these commercials, so sorry to anybody that can't relate. Then again just about everything's on YouTube that you can't even imagine would be on there, so who knows? One phrase comes to mind, from years ago:BEHOLD THE POWER OF CHEESE...
Jabcat, I went to that web site and copied this which they state:"But even if we or an angel from Heaven preach a gospel to you beside what we preached to you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:8)."Their error is this: The Universalists disregard the God-ordained principles and requirements by which one gets to the place of which they preach, which is salvation and peace with God and man. Therefore they never get there themselves, and neither do their listeners who follow them."How do the Universalists disregard God's ordained principles and ways? In a nutshell, they preach that since God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, and the work was finished on the cross, it is only a matter of mentally assenting to this fact that will automatically usher one into the reality and victory of spiritual life of the Lord Jesus Christ. The cross of Christ, which represents the God-ordained personal requirements by which we die to the world and are raised again by His resurrection life to truly have those things, is thereby eliminated."Without the personal cross there is no victory or resurrection to life, here or in the next world. Jesus likened the Kingdom of Heaven to a pearl of great price, for which a man sold all that he had. There is a cost of admission. The gospel preached by the Universalists is one of bloodless identification with Christ, which is not possible."(end of quote)What I find interesting is that they quote Galatians 1:8 above, yet they are guilty of doing the very think Paul warned against in that passage. They are bringing a different gospel beside the one Paul brought to the nations.We are not saved by works. We are not saved by "persevering to the end" as the Circumcision believers must do.Also, Paul always connects Christ's obedience to the cross, His death, His blood to the saving of all mankind. It is based upon what Christ has accomplished, not what we accomplish. Look at Romans 5:18,19, Colossians 1:20; Philippians 2:8-11; 1 Tim. 2:4-6 and see how Paul always links what Christ did to the salvation of all. He never links it to what we do.That is Paul's gospel. The Galatians were mixing works of the law with Paul's gospel. That was not Paul's gospel. The people quoted above by me and you are doing what the Galatians were doing. Hence, they are the ones guilty of bringing a different gospel.I don't condemn them even should they condemn us. They just are not at the level of maturity yet which God is bringing every believer to eventually.But we should "let them be anathema," which is to say just let them be devoted to their destructive ways.
I've had enough, lol. This past week has been a real eye opener for me.
Quote from: Paul HazlewoodI've had enough, lol. This past week has been a real eye opener for me.Paul, what did you mean by this statement?I think these believers just haven't been shown all the truth yet and neither have we. We are all wrong on certain points. My personal opinion... and that doesn't mean it is always right,... is:We all only know what the Lord has given us. We shouldn't judge others no matter what they believe. If you look at every denomination, each one of them has some truth. I have learned from a few of them myself. We should just pray for ourselves and others that God would give us all wisdom and understanding to live a peaceful life while we are here. LOVE is the main ingredient. CHB

- Biopower, governmentality, and capitalism through the lenses of freedom: a conceptual enquiry (2012)
- In this paper I propose a framework to understand the transition in Foucault's work from the disciplinary model to the governmentality model. Foucault's work on power emerges within the general context of an expression of capitalist rationality and the nature of freedom and power within it. I argue that, thus understood, Foucault's transition to the governmentality model can be seen simultaneously as a deepening recognition of what capitalism is and how it works, but also the recognition of the changing historical nature of the actually existing capitalisms and their specifically situated historical needs. I then argue that the disciplinary model should be understood as a contingent response to the demands of early capitalism, and argue that with the maturation of the capitalist enterprise many of those responses no longer are necessary. New realities require new responses; although this does not necessarily result in the abandonment of the earlier disciplinary model, it does require their reconfiguration according to the changed situation and the new imperatives following from it.

Daniel has a nasty run-in with Anne, Sami's shocked to hear what the DA is charging her with, and Adrienne's apologetic.
Sami is emotional while visiting Arianna, Will, and Sonny at the apartment. She's happy she was able to hold her granddaughter before she goes before the grand jury. They discuss the case and Sami wonders where the razor went that Bernardi held. Sonny's positive his dad will get Sami through this. She has the truth on her side. Sami's touched by his support and understands why they're keeping the incriminating video a secret but why is Chad? Talk turns to Ari's Christening which will wait until Eric's better.
At home, Adrienne rants to Justin about working on Sami's case. He reminds her they had this fight already. Adrienne thinks he has a conflict of interest. She and Marge Bernardi served together on the board of the Women's Auxiliary for years. Justin blows her off. She needs to stop obsessing on Sami. It's driving their son away. She needs to remember being Sonny's age and how Victor challenged their love. He asks her to let things play out.
Chad shows up at the DiMera mansion. It just occurred to him that Stefano hired the guy Sami shot. EJ says nothing so Chad assumes that Stefano got possessive over Kate. The night Bernardi was shot, Chad saw Stefano at the cafe, continuously checking his watch. EJ says Chad's right. Stefano is sadistic and malevolent but he vows their father won't get away with this. Justin arrives and Chad leaves. EJ asks Justin to put a spring in his step. "Tell me this is the day we bring Father down."
In the hospital, Anne thoroughly enjoys telling Daniel that JJ was arrested. He tries acting as though he knows already but checks his texts and doesn't see one from Jenn. Anne asks what the 'budding felon' is really like. Daniel wants to get something straight. "Sure, what's up Doc?" Daniel warns her not to run off at the mouth about JJ. Anne says arrests are a matter of public record. He threatens to go to Mr. Burns and tell him what a vile and poisonous woman she is so she backs off. She taunts him that JJ's on a downward spiral and walks away. Daniel tries reaching Jenn. Abby interrupts and he lets her know about JJ. She runs to SPD.
At SPD, JJ tries telling Jenn there's been a misunderstanding but Abe disagrees. Stolen goods were found in JJ's pack. Jennifer yells at him for keeping this from her. JJ pouts and Abe gives them space. JJ accuses Cole of setting him up. Jenn doesn't believe a word. Not only did he disregard his meeting with Cameron to return the prescription pad, but he broke the law. She goes to Abe, who tells her that they'll go easy on JJ since it's his first time offense but it can't happen again. Abe blames JJ's issues on his grief but Jenn says she has stopped making excuses for her son. She hauls JJ home. After they're gone, Daniel and Abby show up.
Adrienne arrives at Will's. She admits she has been unfair. She's overprotective of Sonny but hopes things go well for her today. Sami can identify with being overprotective. She leaves and Adrienne has an apology for Will. He validates her concerns and leaves with the baby. Sonny and Adrienne rehash what just happened but Adrienne concedes that Sami must have been protecting Rafe as she said. She had no reason to want Bernardi dead. Sonny looks guilty. He switches gears and asks her to be happy for him and Will. Once she's gone, Will and Sonny share a touching moment.
Jenn and JJ arrive at home and JJ tries using Jack as an excuse for his behavior but this time Jennifer won't hear it. Jack would be ashamed if he heard this. He hangs his head and she sends him to his room to think about what he's done. Bawling, she runs out of the house. Daniel and Abigail arrive. Daniel finds Jenn outside crying. Abby chases JJ down inside and chastises him for shoplifting. He spots Daniel comforting Jenn and grimaces when they start kissing. He comes up with an idea to use Dr. Dan.
Back at the DiMera house, EJ tells Justin he hates his father even more after what he put Sami through. Justin says the DA decided to charge Sami with murder. Sami walks in at that moment and overhears. "What?" Justin explains that the DA is overreaching because Bernardi was a decorated cop but he'll try to get the charges dropped down to involuntary manslaughter. She has no motive. Later, EJ makes a cryptic call and tells Stefano's portrait that after today, he's finished.
Abby finds Marge Bernardi and her boy looking at a gigantic portrait of her deceased husband at the square. Marge sees Sami and goes after her.
