A few years back there was a minor league hockey team in Georgia called the...

Oh yeah, Illinois is filled with great high school nicknames. The Teutopolis Wooden Shoes, the Centralia Orphans, the Freeport Pretzels. And I think there is a school in Indiana that is the Hot Dogs....

Well my favorite has to be the Missoula Maggots. Being a Rugby club they also have al old boys side, the flys.
Some names have meanings that get ignores. The Oklahoma team name is the Sooners. Anyone know what a sooner is? It is someone who cheated during the landrushes. In short a rather pitiful kind of criminal. Sort of like a claimjumper.
Ironically enough, I'm wearing my UC Santa Cruz Banana Slugs t-shirt right now. I didn't go to school there, though. It was a gift from my brother-in-law. He told me the school actually has no athletic teams, so the name is just a joke. Go figure...Originally Posted by bbattle
Okay, I can't believe that I'm admitting this. When in college, we formed a softball team so we could be on the "Media League". We would play against radio and TV personalities. The only problem is, nobody on the team was part of the media (we said we were members of some bogus printing place), but we really really wanted to meet cool people. So we begged for sponsors and "The Elegant Stitch" embroidery company said they would do it if we put their name on our custom made jerseys. Being excited that we were to finally have a sponsor, we called up the jersey company and ordered them - all the while celebrating with some booze (not me, I don't drink). Because of the late order, the shirts were not to be completed until very close to the beginning of our season.
Upon arrival, we all gathered around the box, ripping and tearing the cardboard, only to one slight dissappointment.
It wasn't the colors, it wasn't the sizing.
On the front of the jerseys, in big blue letters...."ELEPHANT TITS"
We had no choice but to wear them. Our first game was in a few hours.......
HAHAHAHAHA! That's freakin' awesome!

Oh, and a followup question, Siu, if you don't mind. How did the sponsors take it?
If you notice this notice then you will notice that this notice is not worth noticing.
We tried not to let them know but since they paid for the jerseys, we had to tell them. They were very upset but by then the team picture had been taken and put in the SF Chroinical/Examiner. They pulled out of the project and we had to find a way to reimburse them. Since they were now truly ours, we decided to keep them, be prooooouud (of what, I don't know) and not spring for new ones with a new name. Plus we always were the topic of jokes and we had to be okay with it (we still had SOME dignity). By the way, we made it to the championship game and came in second. Okay, yeah we lost.
The Fighting Cocks, no joke

In 1889, Oklahoma was opened up for settlement by Americans; previously it was where we sent a lot of Indians from Eastern U.S. to live. Boomers were the people that lined up on the border, waiting for the signal to rush like crazy into the state and grab some free land. Sooners were people that snuck in ahead of time and got their land early.
Some teams in the Midwest are called the Shockers. the name refers to the process of shaking the corn tassels to mix the pollen and pollinate the corn plants.

A solution to stress may be closer than you think
By Paul Moser, BrighterLife.ca
Exercise, eat well and maintain a good work-life balance: It's not the first time you've heard these tips for a healthy life. But how many of you are taking the time to put these tips into practice in your busy lives? If you're feeling stressed out, you're not alone. The good news is that help is often close by.
Living in a culture with a seemingly endless list of demands, working long hours, commuting over extended distances and juggling responsibilities can generate high stress levels. Prolonged periods of high stress levels can create the risk of many forms of physical and psychological illness. Research shows that prolonged exposure to stress is linked to high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries, obesity and the development of type 2 diabetes, as well as anxiety and depression.
In recent years, research by Ipsos Reid for the Sun Life Canadian Health Index has shown that a high risk for chronic stress and burnout is a reality for many Canadians in one or more of five key areas: personal, emotional, health, professional and financial. Those employed full-time are at the highest risk for chronic stress, and within that group, those in their prime working years, aged 35-44, are at an even greater risk. The survey also shows that almost 50% of working Canadians in this age group are not regularly getting the average seven to eight hours of sleep recommended for most adults by Mental Health Canada.
Employees and employers working together
With so many Canadian employees experiencing stress, employers have good reasons to make a difference by focusing on the positive aspects of prevention. And employees are looking to their employers for help: The Sun Life Canadian Health Index found over 60% of Canadians think their employers have a responsibility when it comes to their health.
Workplace wellness programs are a proven way of helping employees improve health, reduce stress and prevent longer-term health risk factors. What's in it for employers? Improved productivity, fewer employee sick days and better employee engagement.
Employers are increasingly acting to help their employees stay healthy by establishing health and wellness programs. Have you looked into how your employer can help you? Check with your manager, human resources department or company intranet to see if your employer offers any of these programs:
1. Screening and health promotion programs
Learn about your health risks and ways to improve your health through programs your company provides to support the prevention of chronic illness and the adoption and maintenance of healthy lifestyles. For example, it could sponsor blood pressure clinics, flu shot clinics and support groups getting together to walk, run and work out.
2. Flexible hours and telecommuting
In your professional life, both the hours you spend at work and the typical length of your daily commute to and from work have a profound effect on your health. Flex-time and telecommuting programs can help you manage your work demands and reduce your commuting time, without changes to job responsibility and workloads, and help establish a healthy work-life balance.
3. Childcare and elder-care resources
If you're taking care of your children and elderly parents, you're in the "sandwich generation." Your responsibilities, both financial and emotional, can take a toll on your health. To juggle your personal responsibilities at work and home better, learn more about and use any childcare and elder-care resources at your company that support your family obligations and dependent care.
4. Lifestyle modification and coaching programs
Your energy levels, mood, sense of control, sleep patterns and support levels can all affect your emotional health. If you are experiencing emotional and psychological challenges, professional counseling, coaching and referral programs can help you meet your needs. Sometimes just talking to an objective third party can improve your well-being. For better physical health, many companies offer information and support about better diets and easy ways to exercise more often.
5. Creating a plan and learning about finances
One of the biggest concerns you may have is your financial situation, particularly preparing for retirement and unforeseen circumstances. Taking control of your finances includes budgeting, talking with an advisor about a financial strategy and saving for retirement. Also, reading about economic crises in the media can be disheartening, especially if you don't understand the terminology. If your workplace offers financial literacy courses or websites, they can help remove the anxiety and complexity of finances.
Employers are increasingly seeing the real benefits of offering health and wellness programs. Taking advantage of these programs, especially when they're free, can improve your well-being and make you feel happier and healthier.

This writer's nightmare.
- Filed Under
EDITOR: When I approach a roundabout, I think, "Eek! Where do I go?" I was instantly panicked recently when I encountered a semi truck on one. I was scared to death. Help!
I wanted to stop right there, but the traffic had a different idea!
Now where do I go? Surely, keep moving - somewhere.
A lot of people yelled at me. I thought they were helping me, but later realized I was wrong.
After what seemed like six hours, I finally did get off this crazy corner. I spotted a gas station! Yes, a gas station! (I was almost out of gas by this time.)
Now I will go as many miles out of my way as it takes to avoid this "devil hole" of an intersection. Keep roundabouts out of your neighborhood or end up like me!

Meyer Lemon Tree
Pounds & Pounds of Citrus
Add your review here
Why Get a Meyer Lemon Tree?
• Grows anywhere in the USA as a patio tree
• The tastiest lemon
• Get fruit the first year with larger variety
• Large, sweet, and delicious
Where Does the Meyer Lemon Tree Grow Best?
Meyer Lemon Trees are grown all across the US and Canada. Because this tree grows well in a garden pot with drainage, it is easy to bring inside when temperatures drop. Once established, it will withstand brief freezing cold snaps down to 22F. But bring it inside well before this - it prefers temperatures above 50F. Simply place the tree by a sunny window or a grow light, then treat it like any other house plant. When the weather warms up, bring it outside again. Meyer Lemon Trees will also grow in the ground year-round in Growing Zones 8-10, but grows anywhere as a potted plant.
Is it Easy to Grow the Meyer Lemon Tree Organically?
The Meyer Lemon Tree is naturally low-maintenance, pest-free and resistant to disease, making it an easy plant to grow organically. It typically does not require the use of spray chemicals. Simply use organic soil and fertilizer to grow the tree.
How Much Fruit Will I Get?
Our Meyer Lemon Trees are grafted, rather than seed-grown, so you will normally pick fruit the first season. A 5-foot tree, established in its pot, can produce up to 50 lemons each season with proper care. Move it into a larger pot and you will get more lemons. A larger tree can produce 100 lemons or more. While it fruits abundantly in winter, the tree tends to have lemons most months of the year. Your lemons can stay on the tree for months, so you just pick them off as you need them! It's fun to see this beautiful houseplant lit up with bright yellow lemons.
What Do Meyer Lemons Taste Like?
Meyer Lemons have a sweeter taste than other lemons. You can make lemonade without adding sugar. Meyer Lemons are exceptionally good in cocktails, beverages, sweet desserts, and salads. Many health-conscious people squeeze lemon slices in their water throughout the day for a delicious, low-calorie drink that naturally raises their body's alkalinity.
Pollination and Fruiting Season
Meyer Lemon Trees are self-pollinating, meaning they do not require the presence of other lemon trees to produce fruit. Your Meyer Lemon Tree will grow the most fruit from spring through late fall. Like most citrus trees, the ripest fruit will be found in late fall and early winter. Meyer Lemons are ready to be picked when they are completely yellow/orange. They will not over-ripen on the tree, so they can be left until needed. Picked Meyer Lemons can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks. They can be kept even longer if stored in plastic bags in the refrigerator.
Best Time to Plant
If grown in a garden pot, Meyer Lemon Trees can be planted at any time of year, as long as they are given adequate light and kept in above-freezing temperatures. They have become very popular as Christmas gifts and gifts for all seasons.
Due to agricultural restrictions, we cannot ship this tree to AZ, CA, FL, LA, SC, or TX.

Does anyone here beleive that modelling is a waste of time. There for you just go straight into coding?
Or do you value your modelling tools?
Do you use IDE's which support the 12 UML diagrams?
Dou you find this useful?
Do your projects deliver or fail?
Originally posted by Marcus Raphael: Round tripping: Now can be automated within an IDE. This means change can be successfully managed with IDE's with products like Borland Together ControlCenter. Coding stage is only meant to take 20% of the whole lifecycle, would you say you succeed this? Do you consider the modelling phase to be a completely seperate stage of the lifecycle?
You did not comment on your opinion towards the automation of rond-tripping. You dont see the potential in this? I think it is a significant advancement!
Originally posted by Lasse Koskela: Well, I haven't yet found a real need for round-trip CASE tools such as Rational Rose. Sure, it's nice to be able to tweak the code in both "views", but it's always been faster to just do it in Eclipse, for example. Yes, I think it's an advancement and a nice-to-have feature if an IDE can switch between "UML" and "Code" views and keep both in sync. I just personally don't feel the need.

Originally posted by Marcus Raphael: Does anyone here beleive that modelling is a waste of time. There for you just go straight into coding??
Originally posted by J You: I agree with above comment. I'd say Modeling, OOD, Design Pattern etc are all GOOD things...they all look extremely RIGHT in textbook, but in reality I don't think they really help us that much (sure I am talking from my own experience) If we have a lot of time to kill, I'd like to spend some time on the diagrams and documents - it doesn't help the coding, but makes me "feel good" ...But most time, we are in tight skedule, and most pain come in the second half of the process, and most time are not spent on coding, but "communication", not with your fellow programmers, but with clients, business managers, DBA, migration team, testing team ....

As of Wednesday, January 23, 2013
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Citing 'inconsistencies and ambiguities' in the bidding process, the Dougherty County Library Board of Trustees on Tuesday voted unanimously to reject all five bids on the $5 million main library renovation.
The Board directed architect Jeff Harper to rework the bid and put it out once again.
Harper said the inconsistencies and ambiguities were the result of the original advertisement for bids description in bid bond requirements.
The architect said it would take a week for his firm, Hecht Burdeshaw, to rework the bid. He expects that the re-bid process will be complete by late February.
Trustee James Hill said the original bid process "was sufficiently inconsistent and the Board premature" to warrant action by the Board. He then made a motion to reject all bids and re-bid the project.
The original bids were received in November of last year and Talbot Construction had submitted the low bid of $3,500,000.
The newest member of the Board, County Commissioner John Hayes, once again expressed his concern that the Board was dealing with a lot of different issues and that he was willing to take the project before the county commission.
"This board has a lot to deal with right now, there's a lot on the plate," Hayes said. "We need to find a new library director, Board chair and two more Board members. I'd suggest we move this project to the county commission.
"This suggestion has nothing to do with the ability of the good people around this table, but we could relieve ourselves of the burden of this decision and move it to people who deal with these kind of decisions every day."
Hayes' suggestion, however, was not discussed by the board and there was no motion made in regard to his offer.
The main library's interior renovations, which are being paid for by SLOST VI funds, are now expected to begin sometime in March.
ilovealbany 2 years, 10 months ago
The board met at the "Northwest Branch Library", a project very recently designed and built by two very qualified local firms. It's very alarming that our leadership thinks it needs help from outside of our community to renovate a little ole library, especially when SPLOST funds are involved and there are people in our community that are very qualified to do the work.
HopeandChange 2 years, 10 months ago
The first thing that would have been nice for this board was to have selected a local Architectural firm to do the renovation work. Albany complains so much about losing business to other cities, yet here is a clear example of saying one thing, but doing another. Don't you think that out of the four major firms at least one would have been qualified to do the work. If memory serves me correctly if you go look at the dedication plaque one firm actually did the original design of converting the old Rhodes store. Upon further inspection you will see that the Project Architect also now has his own firm. The other two firms here in Albany are also MORE than qualified. All of these firms understand the Albany market, the Contractors in the area, and maybe just maybe they could have avoided this issue. If you support local then it supports the community and you get better results. Here is hoping that Albany can change for the better, but it is becoming clear that it is doubtful.

There's a lot of talk around the water cool these days regarding a possible "super user" account swindling massive pots away from some of FullTiltPoker's biggest names. Though not yet substantiated, the rumors also accuse Full Tilt Poker of covering up the alleged incident.
Most of the talk is coming from the 2+2 poker forums, the industries top forum for discussing online poker sites, where it's becoming more and more evident that a super user account may have appeared on Full Tilt Poker. Someone using the nickname "TexasLimitKing" allegedly raked in enormous amounts of money from multiple players, including Full Tilt Pro Phil Ivey and then-Pro David Benyamine in high-stakes, heads-up ring games. Afterwards, the player and username vanished from the online poker room.
In the summer of 2008, just as the World Series of Poker was getting underway, Full Tilt Pro Howard Lederer made an appearance on Poker30.net where, during his interview, he explained at length how it was technically impossible for a super user account to infiltrate the Full Tilt servers.
The current rumors, however, state otherwise, and it's not helping that FullTiltPoker is either unable or unwilling to provide the hand histories requested by players who feel they fell victim to the possible super user. One poster on the poker forum who demanded hand histories from Full tilt posted the email communications, in which Full Tilt Poker stated they no longer had the records in question.
One player actually claims to have heard that FullTilt Poker administrators were aware of the problem and made a deal with TexasLimitKing. According to this speculation, Full Tilt Poker agreed to take no action, allowing the user to keep his winnings so long as he or she never used the site or spoke of the matter again. Full Tilt Poker has failed to comment on this rumor, confirm or deny.
Again, all remains speculation at this point. We will of course follow up on this story as soon as more details are revealed.

When Dago came to Azeroth,the first thing he needed for his master plan was to presuade native races to aid him & to serve in his Army.He turned to the Aquatic Faceless Ones.Since they were creations of another Old God,it was easier to persuade them.Almost all of them joined him,almost.A group of of more intellegent Faceless,thought of him as a threat to their plan,to take domain of all of the Eastern Kingdoms.They disagreed with him,so he decided to send them to their death at the shore of the Southern Eastern Kingdoms,mainly The Cape of Stranglethorn Vale.The group of Faceless woke up on the shore lines of the vale,& were confronted by the Biglewater Goblins.The Goblins captured them & took them to Garrosh,Warchief of the Horde.Surprised at the Goblins success,he decided to take the Faceless & use them as slaves.But then,one of the Faceless said to him,"You dare make use slaves?Pah,we can tear you apart without touching you,weak minded brute!"At Garrosh's Disgust,he yells back,"HA,I don't believe you,Squid-man!"Then the Faceless man should him what he could do.He pushed Garrosh toward the wall with immense strength.Garrosh then was frightened by his telekenetic force.The Faceless then rose up to Garrosh & told him,"I am Hurros,Patriach of The Society of Abyss.We were forced out by the Abyssal Demon,Dago-Skilir.He forced us out for rejecting his invitation to his army.Now we have nowhere to live."After hearing Hurros' long speech about the Old God & their plan,Garrosh came with the answer,they would join the Horde against Dago & the Alliance.He allowed Hurros & his people to reclaim the new found island of Dread,off the coast of the Cape of Stranglethorn Vale.Their capital is the Temple of Dread.

AMERICA/GUATEMALA - Malnutrition, poverty and drought for thousands of women, children, indigenous and rural population
Antigua (Agenzia Fides) - A medical team will travel to Basque Retalhuleu, 200 km from the capital of Guatemala, on November 15 to carry out more than 150 surgeries over the course of two weeks. For more than 10 years, these professionals spend their holidays bringing their medical aid to those who are deprived of everything. The crisis, the precarious economic growth, unemployment, shortages in every sector, increase in particular for the most vulnerable such as children, women, indigenous and rural people. In Guatemala 50% of the population suffer from malnutrition, the highest levels across America, surpassing even Haiti. It is the third country in the world. In addition, 75% of the indigenous people live in poverty or extreme poverty.
More than 67% of children under 5 years of age are poor and suffer from malnutrition or chronic malnutrition. Of these, 8 out of 10 are indigenous. In the country the most basic services are lacking, and since 2001 the group of professionals have organized together with the Andalusian Ibermed NGOs to carry out research and collaborate with Obras Sociales del Santo Hermano Pedro, run by the Franciscans in the city of Antigua de Guatemala, where the religious accommodate physically and mentally disabled people. As a result of these contacts, in February 2002, the Spanish medical team gave rise to the NGO Denok Osasunaren Alde (DOA) to carry out direct surgeries. In 2003, after getting to know the San Ixtan nutritional Center, they also organized themselves in the field of education, integrating it with teachers of different educational areas. Since then the D.O.A. has been involved in numerous projects associated with the health and educational sphere. In Guatemala, 58% of the population is poor, 27% very poor and 33% of the population does not have access to drinking water. To the conditions of extreme poverty and poor working conditions, a prolonged drought has contributed to worsening the situation that has so far destroyed 80% of the harvest. Only 54.5% of the population receives basic health care. (AP) (Agenzia Fides 05/11/2012)

I think I'm grossly unqualified to be writing this post.
I don't have any formal art training after high-school. In fact, I think of myself as an avid doodler more than I think of myself as an artist, but I've had a few requests for thoughts on drawing clothes for paper dolls, so I am going to try to offer a tiny tutorial on how I draw.
I encourage people to draw their own clothing for the paper dolls. That is how I learned to draw by drawing for my own paper dolls and those my mother drew for me. I think the best way to learn is to do it over and over again. I have some of my old paper dolls from high school… perhaps I shall post them for people to see my early works.
If you want to learn how I draw a t-shirt, the post continues below. I don't normally do that, but this ended up LONG, mostly due to the photos. Speaking of the photos, I am really bad at them… so, please forgive the remarkably poor iPhone pics.
Getting Started
Before you start, you really need a pencil, a piece of paper that either you can see through or you have a light source behind (a window or a light box both work well) and a copy of whatever paper doll you want to dress.
Normally, I draw in pencil and than ink the pencil lines, because you can erase pencil. Mostly, because I knew pencil wouldn't show up very well in photos, I am using pen for this. Don't use pen at home, because when you mess up, it's a lot harder to correct, as I will demonstrate around Step 5.
Also, reference material is of great help. So, find a good picture of a t-shirt and let's get started. (I didn't use one when I drew this, because I've drawn a lot of t-shirts in my life.)
Step 1: Template
The first thing you need is a template. I keep copies of the all the serial paper dolls on the blog. This is Marisole, of course, with the hairstyle I first drew for her. I have added to her body dashed lines which show her waist and the center of her chest, for lining up things. It's not really important for a t-shirt, but it's useful for other types of garments like jackets or corsets.
Step 2: The Neckline
I always start with the neckline. I draw it first as a point of reference for the rest of the garment. Bare in mind that the neckline of a garment is going to be shortened on one-side due to Marisole's 3/4 pose.
Step 3: Chest
Next, I usually draw the lines of her chest in. I want to make sure the breasts are positioned properly on the garment, since it will effect other major pieces of the clothing. Also, when drawing historical garments, the shape of the bosom, often altered by corsets and such, is a major factor in getting the right silhouette. Bare in mind how the body is altered by undergarments when drawing.
Step 4: Shoulders
Then I add in the shoulders by tracing along the template's shoulders and then coming away from the arm a bit for the sleeves. This is a fairly loose t-shirt, for the sleeves are not too tight.
Step 5: Sleeves
So, here we are finishing the sleeves by curving the bottoms of them. Remember that people are round. Also I really hate the way the right sleeve turned out, I probably should have not bothered with it. Since I did this in pen, I can't erase my work…. So, I shall just live with my right-sleeve mess.
Step 6: Side One
So, now I draw one side of the garment. Remember that a t-shirt is a fairly loose piece of clothing, so give the paper doll some room to breath.
Step 7: Other Side and Bottom…
Next I add the other side and then add the bottom. The bottoms of shirts are usually curved down, just like sleeves, because people are, as mentioned before, round. I should have done this in two steps, but I forgot to take a photo before I did the bottom of the shirt.
Remember what I said about grossly unqualified to be trying to write a drawing tutorial? Yeah, I wasn't joking…
Two other things before I sign off for the day.
1) Clothing is rarely skin tight, so leave a little space between the lines of the garment and the lines of the paper doll. This allows for errors in cutting as well.
2) You'll need to add tabs which I usually do with photo-shop rather than when I am drawing the clothes. This has to do with how I color my dolls and has nothing to do with what I think is the most logical way to go about doing things.
So, I want to know if people found this useful? Because I can also show how I draw pants and skirts and other things, but before I go back to practicing my iPhone photo skills, I'd like to know if people want more of these. They're not hard, but they are a bit different from what I'm used to doing. Share in the comments what you think. I shall respond when I return from my current travels about Alabama.

Re: MLB Thread 2013
Pete Rose without the betting is without a doubt a first ballot HOF'er.
-1x MVP
-1x WS MVP
-17x All-Star
-All-time leader in hits
-3x batting champion
-2x league leader in OBP
-Made the All-Star team at 5 different positions
-Had a .325 season as a 40 year old
Couldn't hit for power? Up to age 30, was pretty much in double digit home runs most seasons. He was good for 10-15 HRs at that point.
Couldn't steal bases? Stole double digit base 10 times, including a high of 20 at age 38.
At age 38, Pete Rose hit .331 with a .418 OBP, had 208 hits, and stole 20 bases.
Now he may not have been a model player in terms of gentlemanly conduct, but he was without a doubt a model player when it came to playing the game hard every day.

Some more time. That's what attorneys for both the University of Kentucky and former basketball coach Billy Gillispie have requested.
Gillispie sued the UK Athletics Association last month alleging breach of contract and fraud, after being fired in March.
He claims the university owes him at least 6 million dollars, but UK officials have argued that the coach never signed a formal contract and was operating under a year-by-year "memorandum of understanding."
The university's lawyers had been scheduled to respond to Gillispie's lawsuit in a court in Texas by Monday, but the Lexington Herald-Leader reports lawyers on both sides have agreed to push the deadline back to June 26th.

I never know what to write in these things. Divorced mother of two, looking to meet interesting, uninhibited people.Now that I've had a few days to get the feel for the joint, I'd like to add a couple of things.If we've never interacted, I'm probably not going to respond to your chat request. No offense, I'm just not interested in getting to know you that way. Private, one on one - that'll be fine if we have some chemistry, but it's awkward otherwise and not a good way to start.Second, if you don't have enough imagination to even find and load an avatar (even the stock lush ones are better than that red monstrosity), then I'm fairly certain you don't have enough imagination to attract or hold my interest. Again, no offense - but I'm just not going to respond.And last (but not least), I'm not much interested in pictures of your cock. Thanks, but no thanks.If things progress to the point where I want to see it, I'll let you know. Leading with it doesn't really work on real women, and you should realize that if it does work, "she" probably is a "he".Thanks for your attention. Carry on.

Cowboys add safety Andrew Sendejo to practice squad
The Cowboys have signed safety Andrew Sendejo to the practice squad and will cut fullback/defensive end Alex Daniels.
Sendejo, 6-1, 225 pounds, played for Sacramento of the UFL for coach Dennis Green after playing four years at Rice. An injury cut short his senior season but he had 318 tackles, two sacks, seven forced fumbles and nine interceptions for his career.
For the Mountain Lions, Sendejo had a league-high 48 tackles to go with seven pass deflections and two interceptions.
Sendejo had tryouts with Tampa Bay and New Orleans after he was not picked in last April's draft.
"Being from Texas everyone's a Cowboy fan, that's why it's kind of surreal being here," said Sendejo, who grew up in Spring Branch. "I'm going to try and enjoy it and do what I can."
Because Sendejo has been signed to the practice squad the Cowboys do not have to pay the UFL a $150,000 transfer fee.

Preliminary damage estimates are climbing to between $500,000 to $700,000 for the fire Friday at Weavers Fine Furniture of Sugarcreek.
Preliminary damage estimates are climbing to between $500,000 to $700,000 for the fire Friday at Weavers Fine Furniture of Sugarcreek.
The business isn't expected to reopen until Wednesday.
The cause remains undetermined, and the state fire marshal is to be on scene today. Sugarcreek Fire Capt. Dan Yoder said the fire marshal was called in because it will be such a high-dollar loss.
A neighbor called 911 at 4:24 p.m. to report seeing major flames at the back of the building, after apparently starting in a Dumpster and spreading to the adjacent building.
The fire gutted the furniture finishing facility. General Manager Roy Weaver praised firefighters for containing the blaze to that building among the four main buildings in the complex at 7011 Old State Route 39. A total of about 9,000 square feet of buildings was destroyed or damaged.
Despite the loss, he realizes it easily could have been more severe.
"We went inside a door and there were quite a few 5-gallon buckets of finishing material sitting against the wall — thankfully, none of them exploded," he said.
Although Weaver initially expected the business to be open today, he said Sunday that now it's likely to be Wednesday before operations resume. Electricity will not be restored until today.
Also, more cleaning is required — including dirty carpet as people rushed to get computers and other essential items as they evacuated the building. Two customers and four employees were in the showroom building, unaware of what was happening within about 100 yards behind them.
No employees were in the finishing facility, which closed at noon Friday.
Firefighters from eight departments battled the fire, which took about four hours to put out. Sugarcreek firefighters were on scene until 10 p.m. Friday as a track hoe was being used to tear down parts of the building to improve access to extinguish hot spots.
Although damage estimates remain far from being finalized, further investigation over the weekend prompted Roy Weaver to estimate it will be at least $500,000 to $700,000. About 20 percent of that total is for inventory.
"About 98 percent of that inventory had already been sold, and was being finished for delivery," he said.
"We're asking our customers to be patient. We're going to make new furniture to replace their orders. We can't salvage any of it because we can't take the risk that smoke got into the wood and maybe you can't smell it now, but down the road, it could leach out of the wood and you could be able to smell it."
Weaver said, "We're fully insured, and the company is financially strong. This should in no way jeopardize our customers' orders."
He said that the unfinished items destroyed by fire were wood, including bedroom and dining room furniture, tables and chairs produced with Amish craftsmanship. In general, it takes six to eight weeks to make the furniture. He said the company is going to try to work with its vendors to expedite the process regarding the already placed orders so that there's as little delay as possible for customers.
Page 2 of 2 - "One replacement order will be shipped to Israel as promised and must be ready by July 8," Weaver said.
"For the time being, we're going to apply the finish off-premises," he said. "I was on the road Saturday to find facilities that could handle our volume of production. We use a superior quality finish, and we might even have to get some new finishing guns to use at the other facilities while applying it."
He said that ideally he'll be able to find a company with some application booths that aren't being used, and that Weavers' employees could work there.
"We will in no way jeopardize the quality of our products just to speed up the process," he said. "It has to be 'The Weavers' Way.' It has to be the craftsmanship that the customer purchased. Our optimum concern is our customers, and we're working as fast as we can to take care of them."
Weavers had two booths and four full-time employees in its finishing facility.
"We were running wide open," he said. "We're at the threshold of hiring another full-time person."
He said company officials are considering how to go about replacing the destroyed finishing facility. The company is owned by his brother, Wayne Weaver.
"At this point, we're planning to convert our current 12,000-square-foot warehouse into the finishing facility," he said. "Then, we'll build a whole new warehouse. We'll rebuild on site as quickly as possible to accommodate our immediate needs and growth for the future. We'll be looking for a finishing facility and storage building to help out in the meantime."

RyTunes - Against The Current

Against The Current
This week I'm going to give you all a look at
my current favorite
one of the newer, more up-and-coming musical sensations on YouTube. I'm staying in Upstate New York again, too.
In the town of Poughkeepsie there is a band called Against The Current. They're a Pop/Rock outfit of five consisting of guitarists Daniel Gow and Jeremy Rompala, bassist Joe Simmons, drummer Will Ferri, and featuring the vocal talent of Chrissy Costanza.
Someone's going to yell at me for comparing bands, but I'm going to anyway; Against The Current reminds me of a younger Paramore sometimes. Chrissy seems to love singing at a lower, more "rocker chick" register, like she did in the band's debut single "Thinking" and in their cover of "All I Want for Christmas is You" by Mariah Carey. That's not all she can do, though. When Chrissy decides to sing a bit higher she absolutely blows me away.
The only problem I have with this group is that it seems like they're moving a bit fast with little content. They're focusing on huge, produced, edited, on-location music video covers (with Alex Goot) that they release sometimes, as opposed to taking the garage-band-on-the-internet route that YouTube loves to see so much (see next week's post). With all the attention they get, they're poised to be a big deal. They've just got to do it.
That aside, I love this band, and I love everything they've put out so far. Here, listen to this cover of "Good Time" by Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen that they did with Alex Goot, who you might remember from last week.
