The 2015 30th Annual Texas Crab Festival Welcomed Record Crowds
As the sun dipped into Galveston Bay on May 10, it set on a record-breaking year for the Texas Crab Festival. An estimated 8,000 visitors, 250 volunteers and 60 generous sponsors were on board to celebrate the festival's 30th year, drawn by beautiful sunshine, warm gulf winds and the promise of a weekend filled with music, art and crabs. For many, the Crab Fest is like an extended family reunion, with families and friends meeting at the festival year after year. For many others this year was their first. No doubt about it – folks travel from near and far to experience the infamous Texas Crab Festival. This year we had many special visitors to the Peninsula. Some locals from Crystal Beach invited their friends from Hico, Texas; a small town in central Texas with a population nearing 1400 – "Where Everybody is Somebody!" Another couple from the Woodlands found out about the TCF from the internet. This was their first time to visit and stay on the peninsula, and no doubt it won't be their last. Another couple from our neighbor Oklahoma has come every year for the festival.
And no one ever said advertising doesn't help business. First-timers from Austin and a group of 7 adults from San Angelo traveled to the festival after seeing highlights on the Food Channel. Two adults from Atlanta saw the sign on Highway 124, so they decided to turn off and come visit for the day. And just when you think those are the "folks from afar", we were surprised to find out that 11 exchange students from Germany came with the friend they are staying with. And a few from London and Austria, both of which were visiting family in Galveston, decided to ride the ferry and check out the wonder that is the Texas Crab Festival. Our new friends from near and far enjoyed the music and food…and all those crabs! All said they would love to return each year, and we hope they bring their friends with them. But of course, none of it would be possible without the caring and giving locals and lovers of the Peninsula that showed up each day to bring life to the Texas Crab Festival.
It's wonderful visitors like these, our tireless volunteers and generous sponsors that succeeded in making the 2015 30th Annual Texas Crab Festival its biggest year yet. Crowds turned out in record numbers, packing the grounds for Wayne Toups's Friday night show. The next morning over 200 people showed up for the Samson Energy Texas Crab Festival 5K-1K Fun Run/Walk. 5K overall winners were Cash Kunkel (men) and Heather Welsch (women). Visitors young and old enjoyed the wide variety of crabby games and contests. Team TWITA won the Washers Tournament; Mike and Cody VanZandt bagged a win in the Bean Bag Toss. William and Haley Comeaux took the 2-Step Contest and little Boomer stormed the Wiener Dog Races, winning for the 2nd year in a row. We had a great turnout for the Crab Gumbo Cook Off this year as well. Teams battled it out for the title, with Krewe La Roux taking the crown. Entry fees supported the Lone Survivor Foundation Crystal Beach Retreat.
All of our sponsors came through in a big way. Ron Hoover Marine greeted guests with an exciting display of the latest boats and RVs as they passed through the Grand Promenade on the way to the festival entrance. Once inside, there was a cool display of stacked-up, tricked-out Jeeps put together by the Crystal Beach Jeepers. In-kind donations included light towers and generators provided by United Rentals and golf carts provided by Golf Car Connection.
This year's Live Auction featured a Paradise Palapa purchased by Mac and Brenda McDonald, an Easy Lift bought by Johnie and Peggy McDonald and a 30th Celebration Quilt crafted from vintage Crab Festival t-shirts that sold to Burt and Leneda McGinty. Big winners in the prize raffle were: Murrell Lyon – 6-Seater Golf Cart, Jerry Mittendorf – Cruise for Two, and Janet Leigh Davis – $1,000 Gift Card.
Arts & Crafts and Food Vendors did bustling business; surprised by the huge crowds, some had sold out of crab by Saturday night but managed to rally and recoup for the next day. By Sunday festival t-shirts, hats, visors and koozies had completely sold out! The $10 Unlimited Carnival Ride Bracelets on Friday and Sunday were also a big hit.
The Texas Crab Festival is about showing off our unique Gulf Coast style music, art and seafood. It's about introducing people to our little slice of paradise; to our local beaches and businesses. Realtors and RV Parks had record bookings during this year's Crab Fest weekend; the Big Store reported record sales; the beaches were crowded, restaurants full. Families and friends old and new came together for a fun festival weekend in beautiful Crystal Beach and, best of all – all of the proceeds from the Crab Fest go to help change lives right here on Bolivar Peninsula. Texas Crab Festival Charities 501(c)(3) provides local residents with grants, scholarships and job training through its "Learn More to Earn More" program. For more information on the program please visit www.TCFCharities.org.
Thank you once again to all of our sponsors, volunteers, vendors and visitors for making our 30th Annual Texas Crab Festival such a smashing success.

Abby Glassenberg is an artist, teacher and mother living in Wellesley, Massachusetts. Abby works from her home studio sewing soft toys and soft sculptures. Her book The Artful Bird: Feathered Friends to Make and Sew was published by Interweave in January of 2011. Abby blogs at www.whileshenaps.typepad.com.
Thank you, Kathreen, for inviting me as a guest on Whipup.net today! As you may know, I love to make softies and I especially love to design my own softie patterns and teach others to do so as well. I am currently writing a book about soft toy design (due out with Lark Crafts in the spring of 2013) in which I am showing step-by-step how to design your very own softie patterns, from beginner techniques to advanced jointed, gusseted toys. Writing this book is a dream come true for me!
I thought it might be fun to share a pattern for a hobby horse here on Whipup.net today. My daughters, Stella (5) and Roxanne (7) have a dearly beloved handmade Hobby Horse named Blackberry that they ride around our upstairs hallway many afternoons after school. I hope you'll enjoy making this hobby horse for a special child in your life.
Hobby Horse Pattern & Tutorial
(Sewing pattern by Abby Glassenberg for personal use only)
- brown wool-blend felt, 1/2 yard, or felted wool sweater in brown
- scraps of wool-blend felt in lighter brown, white, blue and black
- white embroidery floss, 12 inches
- fiberfill toy/pillow stuffing
- wooden dowel 1 inch wide or narrower, broomstick or tree branch, about 36 inches
- rag or fabric scrap for wrapping the end of the dowel
- twine, ribbon or string for the bridle
- brown yarn for mane
- all-purpose thread in white, black, and blue
- cardboard and a pencil
- sewing machine
- hand-sewing needle
- embroidery needle
- curved upholstery needle
- scissors for fabric
- disappearing fabric marker or tailor's chalk
- hot glue gun (optional)
Notes on pattern: The pattern for the horse's head is large so you will need to piece it together. No seam allowance has been added in the pattern so you will need to add a 1/4 inch seam allowance to all of the pattern pieces except the eye and eyelid. Transfer the pattern to stiff cardboard and cut out. Pattern pieces can be downloaded here in 4 parts: Part 1 : Part 2 : Part 3 : Part 4.
Step 1: Place the head and head gusset pattern pieces on the wool-blend felt or felted wool sweater and trace around them with tailor's chalk or a disappearing fabric marker. Cut them out, transferring markings.
Step 2: Cut two ears in light brown felt and two in darker brown felt. Place one light against one dark and stitch around, leaving the bottom open. Repeat for the other ear. Trim the seam allowances to 1/8 inch, clipping across the tip of the ear near the stitching line, and turn the ears right side out. Fold each ear on the fold line and pin to hold.
Step 3: Place one ear against one head piece where marked, lining up the raw edges, and baste. Repeat for the other ear.
Step 4: Stitch the head gusset to one head piece from point A to point B trapping the raw edges of the ear in the seam as you go. Repeat for the other head piece. Stitch the remainder of the horse's head, leaving the bottom open. Clip the curves, especially at the neck and turn the head right side out.
Step 5: Stuff the head firmly until it is about 3/4 of the way stuffed. Wrap the end of the dowel or stick with a rag. Tie the rag in place with twine. Insert the dowel into the head pushing it all the way up to the crown. Push stuffing around the dowel so that it is snug inside the head. Finish stuffing the head, leaving about 2 inches at the base of the neck unstuffed, as marked.
Step 6: Tie off the base of the neck with twine. Use a double knot to secure. If you'd like, put a bead of hot glue underneath the felt, where it meets to the dowel, all the way around to secure.
Step 7: With no seam allowance, cut out two circles of felt in black for the pupil, two in blue for the eyeball, and two in white for the white of the eye. With floss, take three small straight stitches in the pupil to form a highlight. Layer the eye and stitch each layer in place with coordinating thread.
Step 8: Place eyelid pattern piece on a folded piece of brown wool-felt. With no seam allowance, cut out. Repeat so that you have two eyelids. Nestle eyes between eyelid layers. Stitch the eyes to the head.
Step 9: For the nostril, use brown yard to tie a French knot on either side of the muzzle.
Step 10: For mane, thread curved upholstery needle with a single 36 inch strand of brown yarn. Take a small stitch at the top of the head, pulling yarn through so that it leaves a 3 inch tail. Cut yarn 3 inches from the head. Tie yarn ends in a double knot to hold. Repeat to create a mane of desired thickness. Trim mane to desired length.

One of our fave things about football is obviously those cute tight ends on display in their unforgiving spandex uniforms! But we all know those men work hard for their buns of steel by running endless drills and hitting the gym to pump monumental amounts of iron. While we don't recommend hours upon hours of strenuous work to get your rear in gear for spandex, here are a few football-inspired drills that will help get you there.
Do this quick but intense Tabata-style workout every other day to give those men a run for their money on Super Bowl Sunday. Make sure you warm up your muscles before you start to prevent injury and cool down when you're done (if you can catch your breath).
Workout Overview: 8 minutes long; 20 seconds of intense training at full exertion and 10 seconds of rest each round. Total of 16 sessions or rounds. Repeat circuit twice.
Round 1
Quick feet: Stand with your legs a little wider than hips width apart and run in place as if you were LiLo being chased by the paps.
Push ups: Get your hands down on the ground and lower your chest until you're an inch or two above the ground. Go onto your knees if you need a modification.
High knees: Bring your knees a little higher than your hips and run in place. Try not to lean back so you don't strain your lower back. Keep a fast pace and don't forget to breathe.
Squats: Quickly sit back as if you were sitting in a chair and stand back up again. Don't let your knees go over your toes and don't hyperextend your knees when you stand up. Buns of steel, baby!
Round 2
Burpees: Put your hands on the ground and jump your legs back. Do a push up, jump your legs forward, stand up, jump, and clap your hands over your head. It's a doozy.
Heisman move: Jump side to side while raising your knees, bracing your abs, and crunching over the knee that's up.
Situps: Lay down and crunch up just far enough that you feel your abs engage. Move quickly but don't lose your form.
Quick feet: See Round 1.

It's no surprise most Americans' complaints about local and national governments involve our fractured transportation infrastructure.
Only 47 percent of respondents to a recent survey were "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with public transportation, and only 48 percent felt that way about roads and transportation infrastructure, according to Governing.com.
Traffic congestion and general communication infrastructure also received low marks, while "emergency preparedness" fell somewhere in the middle at just more than 60 percent. Citizens were most satisfied with their localities' performance in public safety, including police, fire and ambulance services.
Yet crumbling roads, illogical traffic patterns and difficult-to-maneuver public transportation remain among most complaints. And they must have solutions beyond more government funding.
Smart government remains the order of the day when it comes to helping Americans get to and from jobs, schools and personal pleasures. The communities that make those pursuits more reliable and manageable will see a payoff.
One example is the success of High Point, N.C., after making a series of changes over a few years, that netted the city nearly a 10 percentage jump in commuter satisfaction and higher user rates.
In the future, these likely grateful taxpayers will need less convincing when funding requests for new road projects come before them.
The best of public policy often comes down to a willingness to retool and rehash existing resources with the fundamentals of customer service in mind.

Northwest Energy Efficient Manufactured Housing Program (NEEM)/ENERGY STAR
Manufactured Home Program
Energy efficient homes with healthy indoor air,
The Montana Department of Environmental Quality is assisting with the promotion of NEEM/ENERGY STAR energy-efficient manufactured homes. NEEM homes may be heated with propane, natural gas or electricity. NEEM/ENERGY STAR homes are certified by the State Energy Offices where they are manufactured; Idaho, Washington, Oregon, or California.
Click here to view a list of Montana's Certified Dealers.
Why Spend Extra $ for a NEEM/ENERGY STAR Home?
Here are a few reasons why NEEM homes are your best investment:
- Long Term Affordability
- Month after month utility bills are less in a NEEM/ENERGY STAR home. Considering the relatively small extra cost for a NEEM/ENERGY STAR option (typically $8 to $10 to a monthly loan payment), and with the increasing cost of energy a wise shopper insists on a NEEM/ENERGY STAR home.
- Quiet and Comfortable - More than just added insulation
- Potential air leaks such as plumbing traps, corner and floor joists and electrical outlets are sealed throughout. Ceilings typically are insulated to R-38, walls to R-21, floors to R-33, and windows have Low E glass.
- Good Indoor Air Quality with Good Ventilation
- Quiet, better quality fans automatically exhaust stale air and draw in fresh air.
- Better Duct Sealing
- Advanced, long-lasting tape or mastic is used to seal the ducts, reducing loss of heated or cooled air. Up to 30 percent of heat is lost in the ducts of non-NEEM/ENERGY STAR homes.
- Inspection Ensures Energy Efficiency
- NEEM/ENERGY STAR homes are inspected to ensure that insulation is installed properly, that efficient windows and doors are installed and that potential air leaks are sealed.
- Special Installation
- Special instructions and materials help ensure that the ground under the home is covered to prevent moisture from the ground from entering the house. The marriage line is sealed, and the duct between sections is securely installed and has a higher-than-normal R-value. Failure to seal the marriage line and leakage in the cross-over duct commonly lead to energy waste in non-NEEM/ENERGY STAR homes.
- Eligible for Tax Credit up to $500/$1,000 per couple
- NEEM/ENERGY STAR homes are also eligible for a State of Montana Tax credit of up to $500/$1,000 per couple. The credit is 25 percent of the extra cost to go above HUD efficiency levels.
- Montana Electric Utilities offer $1000/750 NEEM/ENERGY STAR Rebates
- Utilities that are offering NEEM rebates to homebuyers and the salesperson selling NEEM Homes, heated with electricity, to customers in their respective service area. (Note: The Rural Electric Co-ops' programs are only for electrically heated homes. NorthWestern Energy now offers an incentive for both electrically heated and natural gas heated homes.) Certain restrictions may apply.
FLATHEAD ELECTRIC CO-OP, INC., Kalispell, Montana - offering $750 payment to the homebuyer and $150 to the salesperson. Contact Ross Holter at 406-751-4483 for more information.
GLACIER ELECTRIC, Cut Bank, Montana - offering $1000 payment to the homebuyer and $150 payment to the salesperson. Contact Virginia Harman at 406-873-5566 for more information.
LINCOLN ELECTRIC, Eureka, Montana - offering $1,000 payment to the homebuyer and $150 payment to the salesperson. Contact Tim Engleson at 406-889-3301 for more information.
MISSION VALLEY POWER, Polson, Montana - offering $1,000 payment to the homebuyer and $150 payment to the salesperson. Contact Lyle Neiss at 406-883-7910 for more information.
MISSOULA ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE, Missoula, Montana - offering qualifying home buyers a $1,450 cash incentive. For more information, contact Lorraine Best at 406-541-6331.
NORTHERN LIGHTS, INC., Sagle, Idaho - offering $1000 payment to the homebuyer and $100 to the salesperson. Contact Elissa Glassman at 800-326-9594 for more information.
NORTH WESTERN ENERGY, Billings, Great Falls, Helena, Butte, Bozeman, and certain surrounding areas in Montana - offering $1,000 to the buyer for electric heat (where natural gas is not available) NEEM/ENERGY STAR homes and $0.25 per sq. ft. to the buyer for natural gas heat NEEM/ENERGY STAR homes in the NorthWestern Energy service area. For more information, call NorthWestern Energy at 800-823-5995.
State Support and On-site Assistance
All NEEM/ENERGY STAR homes come with an energy feature guaranteed program. If energy related problems are found in the home, a representative from the Montana Department of Environmental Quality will make an on-site investigation of the energy related problem. Both factory and on-site installed energy conservation features will be examined and repairs ordered if needed. There is no cost for this service on certified NEEM/ENERGY STAR homes.

Workshop to focus on benefits of LED lighting, financial incentives
Peter Croce, Environmental Services
Vancouver, WA – Clark County has scheduled another free workshop showcasing creative uses of LED lighting, including how it can lower electricity bills.
The workshop, sponsored by the Clark County Green Business Program, is set for 3:30-5 p.m. Thursday, July 17, at the Heathman Lodge, 7801 N.E. Greenwood Drive.
At a March 19 workshop, more than 30 participants received information on the recent price reduction for LED lighting. The July 17 event will highlight financial incentives, such as from Clark Public Utilities, to help property owners, managers and tenants pay for LED upgrades. It also will showcase how LED can best be used as outdoor lighting.
Light-emitting diode, or LED, lights have several advantages over traditional incandescent bulbs. They use far less electricity, last much longer, are more difficult to break and produce relatively little heat. Until recently, however, consumers had to pay more for LED lights.
"LED lighting is more affordable than it ever has been before," said Don Benton, Environmental Services director. "It can more than pay for itself through lower energy costs. We want to get the word out to businesses and other community members. Not only will their pocketbooks benefit, but so will our environment."
While rebates and incentives are available only for commercial properties, all community members are welcome at the July 17 workshop. Participants can join industry specialists for an informal question and answer session. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres will be served.
Registration is required. Please register at the Clark County Green Business Program website, www.clarkgreenbiz.com.

Syrian rebels have launched a major assault in the northwest against an airbase the government uses to launch air strikes on rebel positions.
The attack on the Taftanaz air base comes as rebels are seeking to take control of a strategic zone between Aleppo and Damascus.
The attack, shown in video posts on the Internet that cannot be independently confirmed, comes just two days after rebels seized another air base at Saraqeb, some 15 kilometers away.
The United Nations says rebels appeared to commit a war crime after seizing the base at Saraqeb on November 1.
At least 28 Syrian soldiers were killed in the coordinated attacks on Saraqeb and several were shown in video footage being shot after they had surrendered.

Urban legend at it's best.
Right up there with the deadly toilet spider story on commercial passenger jets.
Cops, (REAL cops) do not do that. Even if an off-duty officer does assist in a traffic stop, he always has identification and presents it before doing anything like that. I bet many of them would tell you that would be a sure fire way to get killed or injured if they ever did a traffic stop in that manner.
I too call BS to the 10th power.

Concentration in the pork industry is especially acute, with but a few major packers controlling the majority of the industry. For corporate and independent producers alike, it's been a great year to be a hog producer, as USDA numbers out this week can attest.
Despite one of the most profitable years for hog producers in memory, the nation's pig farmers have refrained from the type of rapid herd expansion that normally accompanies favorable prices.
USDA's December inventory released this week shows all hogs at 100 percent of year ago levels ... the number kept for breeding at 99 percent ... and the number marketed at 100 percent. Those numbers all fell below trade expectations.
Analysts called the 1 percent decrease in the number of hogs kept for breeding especially bullish. When combined with a downward revision in fall pig production, the report would seem to bode well for spring and early summer lean hog and belly prices.

Atlanta, Ga. -
Auburn relays were the story of day one at the 2006 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships as the Tiger 200 free relay crown returns to Auburn after a one-year break. The 400 medley relay closed out Thursday night with an exciting runner-up finish as 11 men walked away All-American's in Atlanta, Ga. Auburn leads after six events, 178.5, over Arizona (136.5) and Stanford (132).
"We hoped today would be a strong day for us," Auburn head coach David Marsh said. "The day went well for us but it was not perfect. This morning I thought we might have a few more consolation finalists but tonight people stepped up for us."
The Tigers started out with a bang on Thursday night, taking the 200 free relay, an event, according to the official psyche sheet, the group was ranked third coming into the championships. The four-man team of Cesar Cielo (19.51), Matt Targett (18.67), Bryan Lundquist (19.25) and George Bovell (18.72) put together a winning time of 1:16.15, just .15 off the Auburn record, to clinch the victory over Arizona by .39. Targett and Bovell both clocked sub-19 splits, Targett the best at 18.67, to help lead the Tigers to its fifth overall title in the event; the last one coming in 2004 (Bovell was on that winning relay team).
"This has been the focus all season," Targett said. "I was happy to come out tonight after my performance this morning and help Auburn to a victory. I had been taking care of myself after I finished the Commonwealth Games last week and it felt good to go out there and compete with my teammates. I just made sure I was as good as I could be today and I was pretty close tonight It just felt amazing out there and I am ready to swim fast during the rest of the meet."
"It has been way too long since we have won a relay," Marsh said. "It was nice to see us get back on the top of the podium in a relay and it was thrilling for the team. It creates a lot of momentum and excitement for the rest of our team."
It was an impressive ending to day one of the NCAA Championships, as the AU 400 medley squad of Doug Van Wie (46.48), James Wike (53.09), Alexei Puninski (45.73) and Cielo (42.13) sprinted through the field to grab second place with a season best time of 3:07.43. According to the official psyche sheet, AU was fifth entering the meet. It took all four legs going season best splits to ward off Stanford and Northwestern, but the Tigers were able to accomplish this as Cielo anchored with a 42.13 100 free split.
"At Auburn we take a lot of pride in our relays," Van Wie said. "So it's important for us to make a good impression to the rest of the team, it kind of embodies our team spirit, so we always want to do great on our relays."
With his second fastest 200 IM time at the championships, senior Eric Shanteau turned in a season best 1:44.24 to grab third place. His time was a mere .04 from the runner-up spot (Adam Ritter of Arizona). Touching the pads just behind Shanteau was Wike, who bettered his personal best by .56 to claim fourth (1:44.37). Florida's Ryan Lochte put on a show in the 200 IM by breaking his own NCAA record and Michael Phelps American and US Open record - 1:40.55 - for the win.
In diving action, junior Steve Segerlin put together back-to-back top notch six-dive lists to keep his third place spot from the prelims session with a finals score of 382.80. Just one year ago, Segerlin was fourth on 1-meter and improves one spot tonight.
"Steve put together two really solid lists," Auburn diving coach Jeff Shaffer said. "He moved up a place from last year. His front 2.5, full twist in the third round of the finals tonight really set him up to be in contention if anyone made a mistake. The other two guys just did not make a mistake. This is a great start to the meet for Steve and I am proud of him."
On the third dive in the final round, Segerlin earned a 67.20, a higher mark than his two main competitors, and put himself in the mix for the national title. He came out strong on the fourth dive and received his best marks of the evening - 72.00. Georgia's Chris Colwill and Arizona State's Joona Puhakka put together strong final dives to remain in first and second, respectively.
"Steve holding on to the third spot in diving is a hard thing to do," Marsh noted. "Steve gets better as the boards get higher so we have a lot to look forward to from him over the next two days."
In the 50 freestyle, the Tigers accumulated a two final total of 48.5 points, led by Bovell who tied for fourth with a time of 19.34. Cielo, who had the fastest qualifier going into the final (19.20), was not able to match his performance from earlier in the day, but swam an impressive 19.37 for sixth. Puninski touched the wall in 19.65 to grab eighth place. In consolation action, Scott Goodrich darted to the wall and touched first in a career best 19.51; he ended up ninth overall. Teammate Lundquist was clocked at 19.91 for 16th.
"Scott Goodrich to me was probably our best swim of the night," Marsh said. "Moving up is what it is all about at night and he accomplished that."
Turning in his best individual event finish in his career at a NCAA Championship, senior Kurt Cady swam a lifetime best time of 1:46.16 to finish fourth in the consolation finals and 12th overall. Teammate Van Wie, swimming half a second off his prelim time, 1:46.21, took 13th.
Friday's prelims begin at 12 p.m. ET. Live stats from all rounds of competition can be found on the Georgia Tech athletic web site at www.ramblinwreck.com.
Thursday Final Notes- The 200 free relay win was Auburn's fifth ever. The last 200 free relay Auburn won was in 2004 and current senior George Bovell was on that relay. - All four legs of the 400 medley relay turned in season best splits.
Thursday Prelim Notes- Andkjaer, Lundquist and Bovell swam season high splits on the 200 free relay.- Cesar Cielo set a new Georgia Tech Aquatics Center record in the 50 free (19.20), which was also the third-fastest 50 free ever at Auburn.- All five men in the finals of the 50 free swam lifetime best times (Cesar Cielo, George Bovell, Alexei Puninski, Scott Goodrich and Bryan Lundquist).

Sunday June 1, 2014Gators Do Little Things, Get to Play for the Big Thing
Sophomore first baseman Taylor Schwarz clears bases with a 3-run double in fifth inning against Baylor.
Sophomore first baseman Taylor Schwarz clears bases with a 3-run double in fifth inning against Baylor.
OKLAHOMA CITY -- The game was tight and after the opposing pitcher hit a couple Florida batters in succession, sophomore Taylor Schwarz stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and the pressure of the Women's College World Series bearing down on her in front of sold-out crowd at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium.
What in the world was going through her mind?
"Honestly," Schwarz said. "I was still looking for my batting glove."
Bears starter Whitney Canion hit Bailey Castro on her third pitch to UF's No. 5 hitter, then plucked No. 6 hitter Briana Little with the first. Those plays happened so quickly, Schwarz didn't have much time to think about the circumstances or ramifications of stepping up in the fifth inning with a chance to break the WCWS semifinal-round game wide open.
"I didn't have time to think of anything really," said Schwarz, who found her glove on the ground in the dugout. "When I got in the batter's box I was just thinking, honestly, "Get my pitch,' and she threw a pitch right there and I jumped on it."
Schwarz pounded a 1-0 offering into the right center-field alley to clear the bases and provide the big blow in No. 6 UF's 6-3 defeat of 17th-ranked Baylor, a victory that gave Coach Tim Walton's bunch a clean sweep of the winner's bracket and moved them into this week's WCWS championship round.
Florida (53-12) will face Southeastern Conference rival Alabama (53-11) in a best-of-three series for the NCAA crown, beginning Monday night at 8 p.m. ET. It'll mark he Gators' third trip to the title series, where the team was swept by Washington in 2009 and again by Arizona State in 2011.
Neither that history nor Alabama winning two of three in their regular-season series in Gainesville back in March will factor into what the 2014 Gators are trying to do.
"The little things win games here at the College World Series and I'm just proud of our kids for believing in us and believing in themselves and in their abilities -- and not trying to do too much," said Walton, who continues to elevate the program to remarkable heights. "Here we are getting an opportunity for a national championship."
Schwarz may have had the big hit, but Walton was right about the little things. The Gators did the fundamentally sound stuff necessary to put themselves in position to win, whether it was spectacular defense, intelligent baserunning or timely hitting.
And, of course, there was Hannah Rogers (photo, center).
Florida's pitching ace was not the robotic machine of her first two days here, but Rogers chased those back-to-back shutouts by hurling a five-hitter at the Bears (49-16) and keeping any damage done -- three runs on three hits in the fifth -- to a minimum.
Those three runs are the only scores Rogers has given up in six NCAA Tournament games and she answered that Baylor rally by retiring the last seven Bears batters in order.
A little hiccup on her hot streak -- 33 1/3 innings without allowing a run -- wasn't going to shake her.
"I just continued to do everything [the same]; not over-think anything and using my defense like I have all season," Rogers said. "I mean, they've been doing a great job here."
How great? Errorless great.
"They're hitting on all cylinders," Baylor coach Glen Moore said. "I could go on and on about the way they're playing with a lot of confidence and made us work really hard for anything we were able to get off them today."
What they got wasn't much and it all came in the fifth inning, temporarily giving the Bears hopes of a second miracle rally in as many days. Saturday night, Baylor was down 7-0 in the sixth against Kentucky and stormed back to win 8-7 in extra innings.
But not against Rogers.
Not against the eight gloves surrounding her.
"There's an expectation," UF junior shortstop Katie Medina said of a defense that is fielding at 1.000 for the Series. "I strive to be perfect on the field for Hannah or whoever is pitching and I think I can speak for all of us when I say we try to make every play we can."
Like when Medina took a hard grounder in the hole, stepped on second and zipped a throw to first for an inning-ending double-play in the second. Or when third baseman Stephanie Tofft got horizonal in foul territory to stab a wicked line drive off a Baylor bat in the third.
At the plate, on a day when leadoff and leading hitter Kelsey Stewart and power-hitting Lauren Haeger combined to go hitless in eight at-bats, Tofft got the Gators on the board in the third with an RBI double that scored Kirsti Merritt from first. In the fourth, Aubree Munro laid down a picture-perfect suicide squeeze to score Little from third for a 2-0 lead. Then Schwarz opened the gates with a base-clearing double in the fifth for a 5-0 lead.
For Walton, these four days in the Sooner State have been awfully satisfying because he's watched his players win big (11-0 vs. Baylor, thanks to two homers Thursday), win efficiently (4-0 vs. Oregon, behind Rogers Friday) and now grinding their way into the title series with this rematch defeat of the Bears.
"The game is about getting singles and doing the little things, and it's not just about hitting home runs," Walton said after improving to 15-11 all-time in his six WCWS trips. "We've come here so many times and we don't hit the long ball and don't win the games; we have double-digit strikeouts and we can't manufacture runs. So I think having [small ball] in your back pocket is vital. At the end of the day, you still have to have the right personnel in the right spots to be able to execute some things."
The Gators have that, and with it another chance at a national championship.

Laguna Niguel,CA — Over the past several years, Simian has revolutionized the way creative companies run their businesses by blazing a trail of cutting-edge innovation that has redefined industry standards. Its robust media management platform is currently employed by scores of production companies, advertising agencies, music houses and visual effect providers, amongst others. Simian's single portal solution for multi-media management, cataloging, distribution and presentations ranging from sales reels to pitch decks and business presentations plus website management, includes cutting edge features such as an analytics package previously available only to Fortune 500 companies. In short, the Simian platform is helping companies work smarter in ways that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago.Simian introduced its platform in 2008 as a way to help creative companies manage and present their growing libraries of video and other media files. Its creators combined their expertise in software development, web design, branding, graphic design and content management, with in-depth research into the business practices and needs of potential users. "We spent a lot of time meeting and talking with production companies about the features they needed most," recalls Simian co-founder Jay Brooks. "And we continue to listen to our clients. We actively seek their feedback and also try to understand what they need before they know they need it and extrapolate on that."Atton adds that Simian is planning to take this further through a new feature that will allow users to identify which scenes in a given video are garnering the most interest. "It's pretty clear that one scene is of interest verses another if they've watched it several times." One of the early and most notable innovations of the Simian platform was a radically new approach to the way companies build, manage and distribute sales reels. Previously, if a production company was bidding on an advertising project, each director's reel would need to be sent individually, which meant having to sift through numerous emails. Simian streamlined the process by enabling multiple reels to be packaged together and sent in a single, branded presentation. "Say you're bidding on a Kellogg's commercial and you have three directors whom you feel are qualified," explains Simian co-founder Brian Atton. "Simian allows you to package all three reels into a single, branded presentation so that the agency producer can jump seamlessly from one reel to the next. This streamlined approach really helps speed the sales process." Even more impressive is Simian's Reel Analytics in Real Time feature, which allows users to track the status of sales reels and other media. Users can tell if and when a particular recipient has opened an email, if it was forwarded it to colleagues, which spots the recipient(s) viewed, how much was viewed and how many times. This allows companies to fine-tune their sales pitch. "If the client can pinpoint at a glance which spots the recipient is interested in, they know exactly how to follow up," he says. Atton adds that Simian is planning to take this further through a new feature that will allow users to identify which scenes in a given video are garnering the most interest. "It's pretty clear that one scene is of interest verses another if they've watched it several times." In 2010, in another industry first, Simian developed a feature that allows users to quickly create custom-branded microsites. Microsites can be used for everything from sales presentations to project management. Virtually any type of content can be added to a site from show reels, casting videos and review media to contact sheets and storyboards, all with sophisticated commenting, approval, permission and password features. Simian includes a variety of templates that can be customized with the user's branding. "Some clients use the sites as a pitch deck, others as a capabilities presentation," notes Brooks. "Either way, they make an awesome impression." The true power of the Simian platform is in the way it integrates a broad range of functions through a single interface. The same portal that allows users to build sales reels, also allows them to manage website content. Companies can change or add new video content to their site in just a few keystrokes. "On top of all of this we even included a built-in content management system," Atton explains. "You can use it to update your blog or your website. You can add a director to the website and attach a reel. It's really a one-stop tool." Ever evolving, Simian has just released its latest update that includes slicker presentation template options plus a state-of-the-art video player that provides seamless compatibility with various web browsers as well as with the mobile devices and tablets. A future version will include cloud-based media management tools that will make media assets even more accessible and easier to manage. With creative companies facing tighter budgets, stricter deadlines and stiffer competition, any tool that helps them increase profitability by working smarter and more efficiently is going to receive a warm welcome. And that, says Brooks, is what Simian does. "We are the only company that offers this comprehensive suite of products," he says. "Companies were looking for a better solution than what was already out there so, that's what we delivered." About Simian: Simian™ takes the business of managing digital media to the next level with an innovative workflow and ideation platform designed by industry leaders for industry leaders. Simian's streamlined, yet highly flexible platform has set the industry standard for online media sharing and workflow solutions for creative companies. For more information: www.gosimian.com

Vice President Joe Biden discusses how the U.S. will continue to combat terrorism.
Imagine that the worst does happen again: A major attack. Chaos and disorder. Banks could be closed, ATMs down. Electricity could be out. Your credit cards? Suddenly useless. So how much money -- good old folding cash -- do you need to be able to put your hands on to get through the aftermath?
In 2001, Nicole B. Simpson was just another Morgan Stanley financial planner on the 73rd floor when the 9/11 attacks struck. She survived, but the emotional trauma left her old life in the wreckage. Eventually, though, she found a new purpose in helping others through traumas of their own.

Despite the State Department issuing a travel alert Sunday following the killing of infamous terrorist Osama Bin Laden, Wall Street analysts expect airline stocks to continue their upward ride Monday.

I have to hand it to the NHL. The commercials they've played during this year's Stanley Cup Playoffs are great. They started with the "history will be made" commericals featuring Lemieux, Gretzky, Roy, Orr, and then expanded it to include more Stanley Cup heros from the past. I was waiting for the Stevie Y one, and was stoked when it showed up.
What I didn't expect was the 2010 versions, like "what if Cammalleri didn't hit a home run." The addition of current players is a great idea, and really links the campaign together for current fans. Except for the Bieksa video. That's just plain lame.
Here's a selection of 7 of the best history will be made videos:
Other than "Wooooooo Hoooooooo!" there aren't really many words to describe winning the Stanley Cup, which is why I like this video so much. Well done NHL or whoever you get to do your commercials.

5K Run to raise money for breast cancer foundation
|No Related Articles
When Christy McMahan's best friend in Birmingham asked her to participate in the Susan G. Komen 3-Day for the Cure walk in Atlanta this October, it was an offer she couldn't refuse.
"How do you say no to a two-time survivor of cancer?" McMahan asked.
In October, McMahan and other participants from all over the world will be traveling to Atlanta to walk a total of 60 miles over the course of 3 days, in order to raise money for breast cancer awareness and treatment.
McMahan has organized a 5K run/walk in Selmer, which she hopes will raise $2,300 for her 3-Day for the Cure walk. All participants of the 3-Day are required to raise in order to be a part of the event.
Selmer's Pink Ribbon Run mirrors an annual 5k run in Birmingham that was started by McMahan's friend for the same purpose.
The Birmingham event now has more than 200 participants. McMahan hopes to make Selmer's 5k run an annual event as well, and with 50 participants registered already, it's off to a great start.
The Pink Ribbon Run will take place this Saturday at the Selmer City Park. Check-in will begin at 7:30 a.m., with a survivor lap and pink balloon release beginning at 8:15. The 5k run will begin at 8:30. Registration for the run/walk is $20, and baloons are an additional $2.
All breast cancer survivors, whether registered for the event or not, are invited to participate in the survivor lap. The balloons, purchased by the participants, will be released in memory of those who have lost the battle with cancer, or in honor of breast cancer patients, survivors, or others that have been affected by this disease.
"Everywhere you turn," said McMahan, "someone is affected by breast cancer — whether it's a mother, a sister, a grandmother. We just need to bring more awareness to it."
One of McMahan's goals for the event is to bring awareness to the younger generation as well.
The route travels through the park, and around Selmer Elementary and Selmer Middle schools, and is designed to be accessible to people of all ages and can be either run or walked, so that anyone can participate.
McMahan began her 24-week training for the 3-day walk this week. "It's going to be grueling," she said, "but I'll get there."
She will be walking the entire 60 miles with her friend, who has now been cancer free for 7 years.
The Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation funds both local community programs that support education, screening and treatment and global breast cancer research.
Additionally, the Komen for the Cure grant has played a key role in funding a large number of scientific advances related to breast cancer research over the past 28 years.

A Gift for Morcar
Written for inclusion in Morcar's Book June 5, 1996. The story of the first medieval "event" I attended in 1991 under the persona of Comyn MacFergus of Clan Tuatha de Bhriain aka "Little Yvan".
I had noticed that the leaves were already turning when I first arrived at the Fall Thyng assembly. I did not know at the time that this would be Norseland's last gathering at this place. Passing through the encampment, I wrapped myself a little tighter into my woolen cloak against the chill that came with nightfall. These people were kind and generous, yet very proud of bearing. Their clothing was, though decorated with weaves of trim that would have seemed strange to the women back home, essentially the same as that of my own clan. The music, accompanied though it was by rythyms that were foriegn to me, echoed over the hills and into the valley below and in time worked its way past all pretense and tingled the nerves at the base of my spine. Morcar was the undisputed master of this music and it went wherever he bid.
The success of my initial introduction to Morcar was made slightly more complicated by a strange vision I had upon meeting him, but it couldn't be helped. We had been admitted to Morcar's yurt. A smallish, circular tent on the hill proper. Outside hung the bone white skull of what must have been a huge hound in life. Beads and knuckle bones and wooden disks with the markings these men called "Runes" had been strung together with care into necklaces and hung carefully about its toothy grin. Whether it was a ward or just a warning I cannot say for at the time, my knowledge of runes was remedial at best. I was the second of our party to enter the dimly lit shelter, and for the briefest of instants, as Morcar turned to greet me, it was not he but Fjolner who stood before me, smiled and offered me a horn. In shock, I recoiled until the vision had passed. Morcar was a little confused to say the least. He suggested that if he was actaully that hideous, he could find a sack to put over his head, explaining that he didn't want to upset anyone's stomach.
Upon the advice of a companion, I had assumed a Norse travelling name that was easier for the Norsemen to pronounce than the Celtic equivalent. Unfortunately, the name I had chosen was also worn by a more impressive figure – and I quickly became "little" Yvan. Morcar knew me then only by that name, and I must admit I feel a little uncomfortable living with the memory of that deception. A Celt should bear his name and the name of his father proudly and with honor.
I had travelled many leagues, on what a Christian might have called a pilgrimage, to stand where one Norseman claimed that they had burned Fjolner and his worldly possesions in his own longship. Now it seemed as if Fjolner himself was hovering somewhere nearby. The shock of my earlier experience had for the most part worn off, but I was sure now that the one they called Morcar had known Fjolner well, known his private council, been bonded to him somehow in the kind of brotherhood that outsiders can never fully understand.
If I said earlier that my introduction to Morcar was complicated, I mean only our formal one. I did not know his name when, just after we had arrived and finished lashing our tents to nearby trees, he strolled up, fingering furiously on his whistle the strains of songs from my native Eire. Our whole company joined in rousing choruses of the familiar tunes which came as sweet comfort after our long journey, but he was gone again as suddenly as he had appeared.
The next night, I had my first experience with what these men called a "Norseland Fire". I now equate every fire I witness, be it in the brush or in a dwelling, with the size of that fire. For example, when a local grainary sadly went up in smoke several months ago, it was easily a one and a half Norseland fire. It has certainly become the standard by which all other fires are measured.
Later that night, Morcar gathered all the men of the encampment together to meet in secret, away from the women's prying eyes. We stood quietly in the valley, just at the edge of the training field next to a larger yurt. I noted the banners of all the households that were represented there, arranged all around the hill. I remember that my eyes fell upon a sword, thrust into the ground near one banner depicting a longship. Perched atop it was a helm. For a second it seemed to move, as if an invisible wearer had turned his head to the side for a better look at me. I squinted, trying desperately to detect any further motions, but if there had actually been any movement, it had ceased. I thought not much about it, as my head was swimming in mead, but I remember it now. Strange…
The purpose of the gathering was to learn from Morcar the Norseland Warrior's Reply. A lusty response to a song the women of the village had composed to praise their husbands and warriors. Eagerly my companions and I entered the yurt while smoke from its central hearth wafted lazily around inside, struggling unsuccessfully to exit at the small opening at the top. When everyone was settled, Morcar began the tedious business of teaching all of us the words. When we had memorized them as best as our soggy minds could manage, we marched up to where the embers of the great Norseland fire still glowed, and promptly made fools of ourselves to the delight of the womenfolk.
Five years have passed since that night, yet countless times since then, male voices have been raised in an impromptu chorus of the Warrior's Reply, and I would not be surprised if many of the men who were there that night remember most of the words to this day.
One final meditation: As I passed through the market at Pennsic last, I noticed two small children who were amusing themselves (and the women watching them) in an area near the road. As it happened, my lady slowed to inspect some fabrics, or I would have been out of earshot of these young children in a matter of seconds. As fabric is about as fascinating to me as rotting vegetables, I turned to watch the children.
They were not looking in my direction, and they were too young to know me in any case, but suddenly one blond youth, of about 8 summers looked toward me, if not directly at me and burst into song. He was soon joined by another, younger dark haired child. Sure enough, it was the Warrior's Reply. "Norsemen, norsemen. We're lucky we're not divorced men. We fight, we drink we're an army of slobs and yet you love us still…"
Once again the echo of Morcar's skaldic power had found its way across rivers and hills to tingle the nerves at the base of my spine.
