Just wanted to thank you for helping with my recent purchase of the
Trek Madone. Riding it home from the store yesterday it became
immediately clear this was the bike for me. What a sweet ride!
I'm convinced that your assistance made the difference. From the
initial fitting, to ordering, to the final adjustments, it all fell
into place. And the price was right too!
I've ridden thoudands of miles on second-hand bikes and thought I knew
something. But now I'm convinced there's no substitute for getting the
right bike with the right fit from the right folks.
Thanks again,
Steve Sievers

David Moreau and Xavier Palud's Them sticks to the concept but lacks depth.
Sadly, it's not a remake of the awesome 1954 classic about gigantic radioactive man-eating ants, nor is it a musical period piece chronicling Van Morrison and the gang recording "Gloria." Instead this particular Them is a well made, if extremely hollow, technical exercise.
Truth be told, this French/Romanian chiller from first-time co-directors David Moreau and Xavier Palud is so wafer-thin, I'm a little wary of calling it a movie. It's more like a photographed premise.
We begin quite promisingly, as a bickering mother and daughter suffer an automobile mishap on a country road, and as if on cue, all sorts of classical dark-and-stormy-night foreboding kicks in. Right away it's obvious Moreau and Palud are from the less-is-more school of terror, offering only the most jarring, fleeting glimpses of ... well, something lurking in those woods. Since what we can't see is always scarier than what's directly in front of us (an old lesson sadly lost on tiresome gorehound filmmakers like Eli Roth and those silly Saw children), Them deliberately and skillfully obscures the threat, allowing our imaginations, with a bit of help from an aggressive sound design, to fill in the blanks.
The next morning we meet Cl�mentine (Olivia Bonamy) and Lucas (Micha�l Cohen), a French couple living in Bucharest just a hop, skip and a jump away from that mother and daughter's now curiously empty minivan. Referring to these folks as "characters" might be a charitable overstatement. She's a teacher who's very pretty. He's a writer who likes to play pinball on his computer when he's supposed to be working on his novel. That's about all we're going to learn about our protagonists, as Moreau and Palud are far more interested in focusing our attention on long, sinewy tracking shots of their vast, dilapidated country manse, unsubtly laying out a geography lesson that's going to come in handy later.
Sure enough, our happy young couple has barely bedded down for the night when all sorts of creepy shit starts happening. First come the prank phone calls, just before the power cuts out. Cl�m's car drives away on its own, and then there's running--lots and lots and lots of running. First we run all the way through the house, then all the way through the woods, then all the way through a massive, labyrinthine sewer system that seems shockingly overdesigned for such a rural area.
Through it all our identity-free heroes are breathlessly pursued by ... um, Them, I guess. After all the furtive, split-second glances, we can kind of put together that these are diminutive humanoid creatures who communicate in strange amplified clicking sounds, and for whatever reason they all seem to be wearing gray hoodies.
But that's not really important, because for Moreau and Palud, the chase is the end all, be all. A full hour of the film's slender 77 minutes is spent running and jumping and shrieking and screaming--and frankly, it's all a bit wearying, before it finally just becomes boring.
As devilishly well assembled as the picture may be, it's a film without a second act. We're introduced to our leads, then the movie suddenly rockets straight into the violent extravaganza most flicks save for the climax. What's really at stake here? Who are these people, and how much more time do we have to spend watching them run around shrieking?
Purporting to be "based on true events," and carrying authoritative date-stamps on scenes that a little Web research reveals as a load of hooey, Them has puffed itself up with urban legend gimcrackery, sort of a Blair Witch-like trick to make the movie feel like more than an endless series of stunts. Worse, when Moreau and Palud finally get around to revealing the identities of these mysterious assailants in the film's closing shot, you'll suddenly realize all the other, endlessly more interesting directions the picture could have headed.
Moreau and Palud obviously know how to put a scene together, and Them feels a bit like a calling card, made to attract the attention of Hollywood producers. Perhaps they should be hired to direct the second-unit action sequences for a studio picture, and if it weren't already in the can, I would've suggested The Strangers, an October release starring Liv Tyler and Scott Speedman that just so happens to be the inevitable American remake of--you guessed it--Moreau and Palud's Them.

Video: Madonna Super Bowl Half-time Show.
Epic Woman.
Normally the Super Bowl halftime show dwarfs the artist, and it all looks crass. Not Madonna.
Here's as highrez a version as we can find out there, share this up!
21225214 by YardieGoals
Strike a pose!
A star big enough to handle the generally crass overblown hype that is the halftime show.
Haters always hate on Madonna, but I've loved her since jr. high. She was amazing tonight! 53 and rockin' 6 inch heels? Wayyyy hotter than back when she was just "Like a Virgin."
{And she will "Live to Tell" about her near-fall when she almost went over the "Borderline." Ok I'll stop…}

Sweeeet! That was super fun.
Oh Madonna..you are so iconic! I hope when I'm 53, I still can rock in heels like you do!
[…] Madonna's halftime show, a good video version, too. He shows up at the 420 […]
I just love the irony of Madonna now being the "safe" option for NBC and the Superbowl. I think it helps to illustrate how far America has come over the last couple decades since she was being banned as the "Material Girl" and crucified for "Like A Prayer". That was a fun halftime show!
no haters here! ….been a madge fan for decades!
she's cool, was a bit worried about the heels, but she rocked em.
We all know LG has more singing talent. But Madge has kept up with her dancing (hasn't been practicing yoga at the ashtanga place for years) … testament to her career as a dancer (having started with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company in New York City) …
[…] Are you excited about Madonna? […]
[…] Did you see Madonnaaaaa? […]

As Grace recovers from tragedy, her science class is chosen by Agent Sweeney at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to help with research on the new "Red Wolf Reintroduction Program".
While she's excited about helping with the conservation of the endangered wolves, Grace knows this means being outdoors in the worst winter recorded, in a place she no longer feels comfortable. It also means working closely with Wyn (her ex) and his annoying girlfriend (Skyler), a girl whose idea of getting close to nature is growing silk plants.
After a couple wolves show up dead, Grace almost quits. When a fellow project team member goes missing, Grace continues the assignment under a renewed suspicion that someone might be sabotaging the conservation program. She quietly begins to hunt for clues.
Little does she know, she is being hunted too.
And possibly by more than one person.
"Grace is a spunky, independent, nature girl who doesn't need a boy to save her. With wilderness survival, a juicy love triangle, and more twists and turns than a roller coaster, this fast-paced novel had me holding my breath until the very last page—and still begging for more!" - Kimberly Derting, author of the The Body Finder series (Harper Teen) and The Pledge series (S&S)
"This thrilling story is a dramatic entanglement of mystery, deception and teen romance. The action flows like a brisk mountain stream interspersed with rapids, holding suspense to last page."
- Kirkus Reviews
"Johannes has done a marvelous job of creating a suspense-filled mystery with surprises that keep you guessing all the way to the end. Untraceable is a thoroughly engrossing and riveting page-turner." -IndieReader
S.R. Johannes is the author of award-winning and Amazon bestselling Untraceable (a teen wilderness thriller) and new tween paranormal, On The Bright Side. She has also published short novelettes as well as a teen romance anthology with 16 other authors titled, In His Eyes. Uncontrollable, the sequel to Untraceable, is scheduled for September 2012.
S.R. Johannes is a winner of the 2012 IndieReader Discovery Awards (Young Adult) and was also recently nominated for as Georgia Author of the Year (Young Adult).
After earning an MBA and working in corporate America, S.R. Johannes traded in her expensive suits, high heels, and corporate lingo for a family, flip-flops, and her love of writing. She lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her dog, British-accented husband, and the huge imaginations of their little prince and princess, which she hopes- someday- will change the world.
Can't wait to read this Shelli! I loved Book #1 and can't wait to follow more of Grace's adventures! Shelli's also having a contest starting Monday - head over to her blog for details!
Don't you love that cover? I love how we see more of Grace this time yet it still echoes the first cover beautifully!

Tracing the Origins of Poker
Trying to determine the history of most casino games can be difficult, and the history of Poker is no exception. A lot of myths and half truths have surrounded its origins, and while this can make precise determination of all the facts difficult, some can be stated with certainty.
The exact source of Poker may never be agreed upon or resolved, as the genesis of card games are a mystery itself. However, it is known that during the early 16th century, there was a card game in Persia being played called As-Nas. Its exact relationship to the history of Poker is still debatable, but it was played with 25 card divided into 5 suits, and some of its rules were very similar to 5 Stud Card Poker.
In addition, it also had some combinations that are still used in modern Poker, such as the set. When the game spread to Europe it became known as poque, and some believe that that is where the name Poker came from. However, there are also other possible sources, including the Tarot decks.
From Europe the game made its way to the New World in the 1800s, where it was most welcomed by the people, particularly in New Orleans, eventually making its way to California. However, during the early history of Poker in the United States, the game was played with a variety of decks, from 20 to 25 and 32.
However, by the 1840s the 52 card deck was becoming the standard. The reason for the increased number of cards used points to the fact that more people wanted to play the game, testament to its growing popularity.
After the American Civil War, Poker history entered its most important period, as innovations came quick. Whereas before the winning hand was the unbeatable Four Aces, it was superceded by the Royal Flush. The flush and the straight were introduced, and the concept of bluffing became very popular.
During the 19th century, the history of Poker witnessed the emergence of Draw and Stud Poker, and in 1919 came the first references to shared card games, which would eventually spawn games like Omaha and Texas Holdem, currently the most popular Poker variant in the world.
The early history of Poker shows that innovations and changes were a constant part, and as the years go by, it is certain that more Poker variations will appear.
However, with all the change remains the constant element of unpredictability and excitement that will always make Poker the hand to beat in all casino card games.

TAMPA, Florida (WFLA) -- Police in Tampa, Florida are looking for a man they believe sprayed a 75-year-old South Tampa woman with chemicals and then robbed her.
Police said a young, Hispanic man knocked on the backdoor of Pat Jordan's home offering to trim trees in her backyard.
"He said that's usually about $700, but I can cut it for $150 if you pay me in cash," said Pat Jordan.
Jordan let the man inside her home, because he said he needed to spray for spiders before he started cutting the tree. He told her spiders may come out of the tree and try to get in the house.
"He started spraying all around and he sprayed the rug and then he turned and sprayed me on my arm," Jordan explained.
Jordan said the man told her he'd sprayed her with acid and she needed to immediately wash it off with milk. She only had grape juice in the house, so she said he used that and told her to take off her jewelry.
"He was so forceful and kept grabbing my wrist and taking the bracelets off, saying you're going to get blistered," Jordan said.
Jordan didn't get blistered. The chemicals turned out to be a regular household cleaner. But she did get burned by the guy, when he made off with five bracelets, including one diamond and one sapphire bracelet, and $150 in cash.

As soon as I saw it, I thought it could be a great "closure activity" in class. Students could take turns logging what they've completed each day. At the end of the year, you could review different days to recognize the progress the class has made.
I also thought it might be a helpful tool for students who need a little extra "push" to get to the next level of learning.

LaTroy Hawkins likely to hit market before dealing with Mets
The Mets and reliever LaTroy Hawkins are unlikely to reach a deal before the free agent market opens, a source said (Newsday).
According to multiple reports, there is mutual interest in working out a deal for 2014.
"When you're talking about the future of the organization, 2014 and all the young guys, to have a quality guy like LaTroy Hawkins among those young guys would be a real benefit," Terry Collins said at the end of the season. "Certainly, if he wants to come back and we're talking about all these young relief pitchers coming up, it would be nice to have him around."
The 40-year-old Hawkins went 3-2 with a 2.93 ERA out of the bullpen, posting a 1.146 WHIP in 70 2/3 innings. Hawkins also notched 13 saves after Bobby Parnell's season ended.
Michael Baron, Contributor
Hawkins had a fantastic season, and I've heard he is very much open to a return in 2014. He was a low-risk, high-reward signing this past winter, and he was a great value all season long. He dealt with a triceps strain in the second half and some fatigue over the final week of the season, but was able to pitch through both issues at a high level and finish the year strong.
Matthew Cerrone, Lead Writer
It would be nice to have him back. Hawkins signed a minor-league deal last winter. He made a little more than $1 million when all is said and done. I'm sure he wants to hit the open market, get a sense of his value and then start negotiating with the Mets and any other team interested. He's a valuable pitcher on many levels and obviously will leverage that as best he can to get a guaranteed deal this winter.

Saturday, we celebrated with Annie and Andy at their launch party for Harness Cycle. Harness has quickly become one of my favorite places in Cleveland, and not just because it's conveniently located RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET from my loft in my favorite neighborhood, Hingetown. That's just one tiny reason that I love it, because honestly it could be located on the moon and I'd find a way to get there at 6:30am. There are so many more reasons to love this place, but the top on my list is owner Annie Hartnett. You could kind of say that I have a girl crush on Annie. She's one of the most positive bad-ass girls I have ever met. Her drive and enthusiasm for life oozes out of every square inch of Harness and it's quickly turned me from having a moderate interest in spinning to being a raving fan. I'm not the only one drinking this koolaid, either. The party was packed with friends, family, creative small business owners, and neighbors all with genuine happiness for Annie and Andy's big opening. It was an honor to be included and I can't wait to see what they've got planned next. To sign up for classes, head over here. And thank you for the photos, Eric! Click here to see the rest of the set.
Congrats, kids!
We made some adorable mini mantras as a little party favor that just might keep you encouraged all day long. Stop by Harness and grab yours today!

Death Valley 49ers
Each year, a unique group called the Death Valley '49ers has an annual five-day encampment in Death Valley, filling the local campgrounds like Sunset, Texas, and Furnace Creek, as well as the area motels. Word in the wind has it that in past years, upwards of 5,000 Death Valley enthusiasts have attended during the five-day festivities.
These get-togethers are held in Death Valley National Park during the month of November, and the 2009 encampment will mark 60 years of wild fun and celebration for members. History comes alive at these events.
Some of their activities include: art show, costume contest, cowboy poetry, coyote howl, gospel sing, photography contest, wood carving contest, needle work contest, parade, hootenanny breakfast, horseshoe contest, wagon train enactment, pampered pet show, wheelbarrow race, golf tournament, numerous talented entertainers, quilt raffle, and vehicle tours.
Membership is open to all, and includes two membership buttons, window decal, yearly keepsake publication, encampment guide, and a subscription to the semi-annual Death Valley News. Membership cost for a couple is currently $35 per year, or a lifelong membership can be obtained for a one-time fee of $500. Other membership types, such as for a corporation, may be purchased.
Folks can join the 49ers right on the spot at the encampment, as membership booths are available at key locations. Donations can also be made to the student scholarship fund.
The group is based out of Amargosa Valley, Nevada. From their website comes this knowledge:
"The Death Valley '49ers was organized in 1949 as part of the Centennial Celebration of the State of California. It is an all-volunteer non-profit organization that seeks to expand public awareness of Death Valley and its natural resources. The mission of the '49ers is to foster appreciation of Death Valley, preserve its history, with special recognition to the wagon train of 1849, and to provide scholarships for students in the Death Valley region."
The 2009 festivities will be held from Wednesday, November 4th through Sunday, November 8th. Come on down to North America's lowest land and be happily entertained for five days! Click HERE to learn a whole lot more.

Brigade OOB as of 31 March 2012
This Iraqi Security Force (ISF) update provides a summary of changes to the ISF during March 2012. The Iraqi Security Force Order of Battle is updated as of 31 March 2012. Highlights in this update include:
- 10 battalions shifted to Baghdad for AL Summit; Rumors of BTR4 cancellation continue.
- Aviation contracts to announce in April, L159s still in contention.
- OSVs identified, 9 PBs delivered with 12th to deliver in May.
- Rumors of increased control of Basrah security by Baghdad.
Iraqi Army
During March the Iraqi Army shifted 6 battalions and the Federal Police shifted 4 battalions to reinforce security in Baghdad for the Arab League Summit. OPSEC has been tight and no units IDs were reported in open sources.
There continues to be rumors of a cancellation of the BTR4 contract due to technical problems with the vehicles. No official statements have been made by Iraqi or Ukrainian sources.
Iraqi Air Force
The probable purchase of 24 L159s remains in negotiations with no actual contract. On 19 March it was reported that a decision would be made in 2 weeks. No contract has been announced. Iraq intends to hold an International Air and Defense Exhibition in mid-April; rumors are that Iraq will announce defense contracts then.
Iraqi Navy
The pennant numbers and names of the two building Offshore Support Vessels have been identified. They are the Al Basrah [401] and Al Fayhaa [402]. The 7th and 8th Patrol Boats left Bahrain for Iraq and the 9th is delivering to Bahrain. The 10-12 PBs are to deliver to NAVSEA [US] for inspection in May 2012. Barring any problems, they should deliver in Iraq by the end of summer. The article providing this information included a fairly conventional concept of operations for the employment of the IqN.
Iraqi Ministry of Interior
There are rumors in Basrah of an increase in direct Baghdad control of security there. There are 2 possible explanations of this and they are not mutually exclusive:
- The 4th FP Division and 2 of its Brigades have been training in south Baghdad – they are intended for Basrah and may have finally deployed there.
- The other probability is that the MoI Emergency Response Force may have completed training the Basrah ERB [Brigade].
Both of these probabilities could be happening at the same time – there has been training in both Basrah elements for some time now. All provincial paramilitary police will eventually be absorbed, vetted, retrained, and brought under national control via absorption into the FP or the ERBs. Baghdad has no intention of letting provincial governors and police chiefs retain control of paramilitary forces – the private armies are systematically being "Nationalized".
That defensemedianewtwork article you posted was quite informative DJ. Two things I was curious about though. One: 'helicopter vertical replenishment' does NOT mean that a helicopter can land on the ship yes? And two: so the Iraqis are paying a US shipbuilder to refurbish those old, crappy Chinese boats when Swiftships have been delivering brand new, much better and similarly sized vessels for 2 years now? What possible need do they still have for them, other than just numbers? Oh and one more thing now that I have just re-read the article, when did they get around to completing the Al Faw class PBs?
Trophy Wench (04/04/2012 12:19:58)
VertRep does not mean helo pad - just enough deck room for a helo to drop a slingload without hitting anything. They actually need more boats when you look at the IRGCN small boat numbers. No idea when on the Al Faw - reporting has been thin for the entire ISF...
DJ Elliott (04/04/2012 05:49:37)
OK. I replaced my old computer which fried. Most of the odds and ends are now set up and I didn't loose anything prior to 31 March - always backup your data. If anybody has seen any new data in this first 2 weeks of April, I would appreciate the links. Between the computer being troubleshooted then dying and time spent setting up the replacement - I probably missed a few things...
DJ Elliott (04/13/2012 03:14:57)
you didn't miss much DJ. tomorrow the exhibition opens in Baghdad. I will try to get in if its open to the public and email you.
sheytanelkebir (04/14/2012 04:00:55)
what exhibition ?
Almaleki (04/17/2012 05:15:38)
http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/04/16/208088.html //// This small exhibition. Looks like mostly China, Korea - asian arms dealers. Biggest item was Korean T/A-50 - still not seeing arms deals, just talk... //// Still hearing about more elements of the IA getting armor training. More than 3x the number of units training compaired to the armor ordered - some order(s) are not being reported. Just too many bdes training for upgrade and no new tank/apc orders...

Timberline® Treutal Ceramic Blade Gut Hook SkinnerTM Skinning Knife. A no-fail combination of easy-grip handle and ceramic blade. (Use it in meal prep, too!)
A "handle that flows into the hand" is what custom knife designer Terry Treutal sought while creating the Treutal Gut Hook SkinnerTM, a fixed blade knife with a gut hook.

This lightweight Gut Hook Skinner features a slip-resistant grip that's easy on your hands and fingers, plus a ceramic blade that stays sharper longer, won't rust, and is as suitable in the kitchen to cut veggies, fruit and boneless meat as it is in the wild for precision slicing. From Timberline®, providing high-quality precision-made knives and tools for over 20 years.The skinny on this Skinner:
- Full tang construction
- Harder-than-steel ceramic blade retains sharpness and holds edge longer than steel easy-to-clean blade won't rust, resists acids, germs and oils
- Carbon fiber handle
- Bridle leather belt sheath included
- May break if dropped on hard surface. Not for use for chopping through bones or frozen foods. Not for use for prying, which may result in chipping.
- 3 1/4" blade, 8" overall, weighs 19 ozs.
Have some guts!

Here's an idea: Let Kate go on a special episode of "I didn't know I was pregnant", and put Jon's sorry b**t on "Tool Academy". With both Kate AND his grrlfriend.
Glee is on Fox (not CW) after SYTYCD tonight.
LostCathy: You're absolutely correct. Fixed and fixed.
I noticed your dead pool list. It got me thinking: why do the networks believe that we want to watch bitter shows about discouraged people being humiliated and dispirited? And those are the comedies.
I'm serious. The Middle's commercials show Patricia Heaton looking like Witch Hazel from the old Bugs Bunny cartoons, then her husband says something depressing. Why is that funny?
Then Hank has Kelsey Grammar looking at his inadequate paycheck. Community isn't even mildly amusing. Deceitful loser lawyer surrounded by other losers.
Hollywood is run by idiots.

BamboleoOct 6th, 2008 | By admin | Category: Artist
Bamboleo has an incredible ability to delight dancers all over the world and send their bodies into a hip shaking frenzy. It was with this objective in mind that Bamboleo was created in 1995. As a result of their strong influence, Bamboleo has become a socio-cultural phenomenon, integrating a new style of dance, fashion and language into the Cuban culture. These elements have become an expression of the feelings and sensuality of the new generation of Habaneros.
Bamboleo has become one of the most sought after Cuban groups within the last decade. They entered the Cuban music scene during the years when the new genre, Timba, began to enjoy increasing popularity throughout the rest of the world. They were immediately tagged as "cutting edge" due to their aggressive sound and funky, avante-garde fashion sense.
However, Bamboleo was still searching for their own unique personality that could be incorperated into their performances and future recordings. They aspired to set themselves apart from the rest of the Timba acts which they felt were only cloning the music which was already popular. Founder and director Lazaro Valdes, recognized as a virtuoso for his funky piano playing style, was the key element in creating the right sound and refining the complex orchestral arrangements the have come to be know as the "Bamboleo Sound".

Quitting school: one man's story
Anderson man has struggled with odd jobs, difficult work
ANDERSON - Job applications taunted James Brown.
Every single one asked if he had his high school diploma or GED.
It didn't matter the job, the question was always there, and the answer was always "no."
Often he would lie and check "yes," or he would just leave it blank and turn to the next page.
"I was so embarrassed, I said, 'I need to go back to school.'" Mr. Brown said.
Humiliation wasn't enough to force the man with just a sixth-grade education back to the books, though.
Three times he began the seventh grade and three times he dropped out.
"It was very difficult because I didn't think a piece of paper mattered, but you have to be qualified," said Mr. Brown, 43, as he sat on his small front stoop in Anderson on a recent cool October afternoon.
His duplex home faces the Soup Kitchen on West Franklin Street in Anderson. He has just enough room on the porch for a metal chair and a small wooden table where his phone sits.
A black cane leans against the rail within his reach. He needs it to get around these days.
For years he relied on his body to make a living; now he has to rely on his mind. He never planned to be a 40-year-old student.
Mr. Brown was a roofer — something he didn't need a diploma to do. All that ended with one intoxicated misstep.
"I was roofing a house and I had been drinking, and that's not a good combination, and I backed off a roof and paralyzed myself," he said.
Since the age of 12 Mr. Brown said he had been drinking and drugging, so he thought little about the effects this fall would have.
"It was on a Friday and we got paid on Friday, and I thought, 'This is going to mess up my fun.' " he said. "I was just numb because I didn't know what was going on around me."
For 18 days he stayed in the hospital — not quite the bounce-back he initially anticipated. For 10 months after that, he was in rehab.
"I had to change my approach (on life)," he said.
Much of the encouragement he needed came from his friend, Lisa Franklin, herself a survivor of health battles and hard times.
"She took time out to show me that you're going to be OK," he said. "Every day she was always there. I thought, 'I got to do something, people really do care about you.' "
While sitting around his house one day, Mr. Brown decided he needed more options in his life, and he knew physical labor was out.
So he went back to school at the Adult Education Center.
"It was so difficult. I thought I was so stupid because I was sitting there and only had a sixth-grade education," he said. "I used to get so lost and so frustrated."
To ease the transition, Mr. Brown began to work with teachers in one-on-one settings through programming at the Adult Education Center.
Several times he had to take a time-out for surgery. Then he'd start back again. After three years, he graduated — and was the featured speaker at his graduation ceremony earlier this year.
Earning a GED and thinking about college and the future are a far cry from Mr. Brown's attitude when he was a seventh-grader at McCants Middle School.
His Uncle Bill had always been his encourager, pushing him to stay in school and stay straight. When he died before that first seventh-grade year there was no one else in Mr. Brown's life to take on that role. Making money working curb service at Pete's No. 5 drive-in seemed like a much better option than middle school.
"When you've never had much in your life, and you're making $60 to $70 a week, I thought, 'Wow, this is awesome. I could do this forever.' "
His parents were working and didn't have time to push him like his uncle had. It wasn't that they didn't care; they were simply too busy, and he was one of seven kids.
"I had no one to tell me this was the wrong choice the make," he said. "And I had a lot of doors shut because I quit school."
If any student is thinking about dropping out, Mr. Brown strongly suggests they talk to a counselor first.
"Consider all your options, because school is so important," he said.
These days Mr. Brown is the encourager he always needed — something he's discovered he's good at.
For a while he attended Tri-County Technical College, but the physical demands were too much on him. Now he's looking at all the options that have come his way since he received the little piece of paper that will allow him to check "yes" in that box on a job application that asks if he has his GED or high school diploma.
"I would have no idea I would be in the position I am in," he said. "I had given up all hope of being anything established."

Please dont fail to stand beside me, Love me til my life is done. (Owen Darnell)
