Into a world of my own creation
I cower in the dark recesses of my mind
And make way for my imagination
To run wild
To pretend I am something different
Not the broken person that I am
Happy, strong, controlling it
That's just how it is, I say it 'cause I can
Like a child
To be in control of something
Holding the world together
Because I'm tired of spiraling
I just want things to be how they were
Back when I smiled
To remember and hold on
The past is so precious, so dear to me
I can't bear that it's gone
I can pretend you're still here with me
But still, I know you died
To stop thinking
Because I'm just so tired
To stop the world from spinning
Just to rest for a little while
These are the reasons why...
I write by ennailaughterWatch
Okay, if I can be serious for a moment, I really admire the way this piece was written. It's extremely clever in the sense that one can read it forwards and backwards, and find that the work still makes a great deal of sense. It's rare to come across something like that.
The reasons you've given for writing are very powerful and expressed very succinctly, where I find myself agreeing with several points such as controlling something, remembering the past and feeling what it means to be young again. I'm 100% sure many of us would prefer it if we could remain in our own worlds to escape the grim reality we're in.
On top of all that, the emotions are clear from the outset. Something has happened that has torn your world to pieces and twisted it 'round like an hourglass, where the pain continues to begin anew, over and over. It's pretty wrenching, even if I don't get as emotional as some.
I believe this piece is too good to ignore, so it's going straight to my "Honorary Class" collection, whatever that means to you. It's a rare, imaginative piece that speaks to me and to each and every single writer who makes their home here. Excellent work and hope to see more from you.
You're very much welcome and I hope you continue to write.

Milbank Nails It Again
Confirming the addage that even a stopped clock is right twice a day, Dana Milbank captured yesterday's confirmation hearing circus:
Thus did Democrats take their last stand against Alito. It had become clear that the committee, with unified GOP support, would clear the judge. Surveying the various lines of attack against Alito -- his opposition to abortion, his support for a powerful president, his conflict-of-interest issues -- Democrats concluded that their best hope was in Alito's membership in a group opposed to gains by women and minorities. Clarence Thomas had Anita Hill. Alito would have the Concerned Alumni of Princeton.

Free Seminar On Tree Trimming Hazards For Arborists and

BOSTON - Helping New England arborists and landscapers identify and eliminate occupational hazards associated with tree trimming and felling is the subject of free training seminar to be held at Beverly High School in Beverly, Mass., Wed., April 17, 2002, from 1:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Designed to assist smaller employers in these fields - particularly those in Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire and Southern Maine -- the workshop is sponsored by the Methuen Area Office of the U.S. Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the City of Beverly, the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Safety/On-site Consultation Program, the Massachusetts Arborist Association, Associated Landscape Contractors of Massachusetts, the Massachusetts Electric/National Grid and Northern Tree Service.
Hazards associated with tree trimming and felling include electrocution from contact with energized power lines, falls from ladders or aerial lifts, lacerations from chain saws and other power tools and injuries stemming from lack of personal protective equipment.
Presentations will identify the hazards and the preventive measures that employers can take while doing this type of work. Participants will also receive information on the free safety consultation service offered by the Commonwealth's Division of Occupational Safety. The seminar will conclude with an outdoor presentation of safe work practices and the use of personal protective equipment.

For an inexpensive hotel the breakfast was very good. I liked the coffee and popcorn snacks for the afternoon.
A few things in the bathroom were worn. There was a new shower but the towel holder finish was worn. Overall really liked it.
The location is great. Two elevators just are not enough particularly when they will stop on the way up for those going down...got me three times on that.
When busy the breakfast accommodations are cramped and again the two elevators are both not enough and small. Something was strange about the very lumpy comforters.
Comfy beds, friendly staff, breakfast if you got up early enough
Very poor pool and hot tub- no supervision even when kids came alone- recommend cameras-- more breakfast selections and extend hours or offer snacks
Good location and good value. Very clean.
Beds were a bit too firm.
Bed was comfortable. Bed spread had holes in it.
Remodel of room needed. Bugs in the bathroom, walls had boards on them, not inviting at all. Then water was dripping in the walls from the rain. Food was not good.
The bed was very uncomfortable. Worst night of sleep I have had at a hotel in a long time.
My room was clean and quiet.
The pillows were too firm even after fluffing them.
Best hotel in the Asheboro area. Family atmosphere, helpful staff and clean, comfortable rooms. Best breakfast of available hotels.
They gave us a handicapped room which we did not need. It was very small. The bathroom vanity was so small we couldn't even put our cosmetics, etc. on it. We had to lay them on the floor. We also had to sit the towels container on the floor.
The above answers your questions.

Best Two-Wheel Rivalry (2006)
The Blue Goose vs. The Dubliner, Sundays
Cruise down Lower Greenville any given Sunday and you'll hear the distinctive brrruub-brrruub-brrrrrrrruub of big bad motorcycles. And they're all headed one place: The Blue Goose. For hours, the bikes--choppers, hogs, you name it--are lined up outside the Tex-Mex restaurant as their riders carouse over tacos, enchiladas and festive libations. But these often leather-clad folk aren't the only two-wheelers looking for a little Sunday afternoon camaraderie. Around 2 or 3 p.m., another distinctive sound can be heard. It's the higher-pitched whirrr indicative of a scooter--a Vespa, a Honda Metropolitan, you name it. The mod squad begins to show up, stylishly dressed, in numbers not quite as large as their meatier opponents, for pints and the occasional Welsh rarebit at The Dubliner. Even with rarely a shout lobbed between the opposing motor squads, Sunday is all geared up (ba-dum-dum) at the Greenville cantina and the Irish pub.

Best Expense-Account Restaurant (2005)
Pappas Bros. Steakhouse
If you're into testosterone-induced bragging of the "mine is bigger than yours" sort -- referring, of course, to expense accounts -- then this is the perfect place to show what you've got. In a wonderful atmosphere reminiscent of the art deco era, you can impress that important client and easily drop a C-note per person with dishes including the jumbo lump crabcakes, the prime beef, the dry-aged 26-ounce porterhouse, sides such as creamed spinach or sauteed mushrooms, and the unequaled gooey pecan cake. However, it is with the beverages that you can really do some damage. How about a preprandial single-malt Macallan '46 at $350 a glass? Follow this with a bottle of 1899 Chateau d'Yquem for $30,000, and end the meal with a '63 Delaforce port for $400 a glass. Now, how big did you say yours was?

Meals are youthfully re-shaped as parents strive to encourage familial bonds
PRO Trend Implications - As familial bonding becomes less frequent due to distractive technological developments, solitary actions among youths have become more prevalent. Seeking to foster closer ties through traditional everyday routines, parents are turning to personified food shapes to add youthful characteristics that children can relate to. Playfully presented food combines comical aesthetics with the need to connect with others through more lighthearted and approachable means. [More]

A city sprung from legend
It wouldn't take the most attentive traveller to notice that Ljubljana is well endowed with dragons.
Legend has it that the foundations of the city were laid when Jason and the Argonauts passed this way, fleeing with the stolen golden fleece, en route from the Black Sea to the Adriatic. Having sailed up the Danube, and then via the Sava they arrived at the Ljubljanica. Here they encountered and slew a fearful monster which turned out to be the Ljubljana dragon, commemorated to this day on the coat of arms, on bridges and indeed pretty much everywhere.

The 3 bridges of Ljubljana
The city of 3 bridges. Well, truthfully there are more but in the old town area, these are the famous 3.
Extremely close to Presernov Trg, this is possibly the most photographed spot in Ljubljana. The original bridge was built in 1842, and broadened and further beautified in 1929 by Joze Plecnik (remember this name). Plecnik added Renaissance styled balustrades and rows of lamps.
To the south from Triple Bridge, you'll find the indulgently wide Shoemakers/Cobblers Bridge, name so after a group of local cobblers whom had set up trading booths there. It was built in 1932, again by Plecnik.
Definitely by far, the most eye-catching of the 3 bridges. Eastwards from Triple Bridge, this bridge is guarded by 4 delicately crafted menacing looking greenish dragons (pointed snout, swirling tail and all; all that is missing are balls of fire) and one that is (surprise!) not a work of Plecnik. Completed in 1901 by the Croatian Jurij Zaninovich in Secessionist style after the then city mayor managed to convince the Emperor of that time that another bridge was needed to help folks cross the river.

Dragon Bridge
The Dragon Bridge (Zmajski most) is after the Triple Bridge probably the second most famous bridge over the Ljubljanica river.
The Art Nouveau bridge was given over to traffic in 1901 and is one of the first reinforced concrete bridges in Europe. The Dragons were designed by Jurij Zaninovica.

Dragon Bridge (Zmajski Most)
This was my favorite bridge in Ljubljana, the four corners of the bridge topped with the symbol of Ljubljana, green, angry dragons with curly spiked tails and wings poised ready for flight. It was completed in 1901 by Croatian architect Jurij Zaninovich (not Plecnik!) on the site of the former wooden Butcher's Bridge.
The dragon became the symbol of Ljubljana because of the Greek legend of Jason and the Argonauts. Jason, aboard the ship Argo, stole the Golden Fleece from the King of Colchia. While escaping he made a wrong turn, instead of heading to the Aegean, he ended up on the Danube which flows to the Sava River and then the Ljubljanica River where they dismantled the ship and carried it to the Adriatic Sea. On their way they came across a big lake with a monster that Jason slew, the monster was the Ljubljana dragon. In addition to the bridge, a dragon adorns the coat of arms of Ljubljana.
The Dragon Bridge does have traffic on it so be careful when you are trying to get photos not to get hit by a car. I thought the best shots were from the east side of the bridge looking west so you can get some of the buildings in the background.
Zmajski most ( dragon bridge ) green monster
Zmajski most was completed in 1901 when Slovenija was was the southernmost part of the Habsburg Empire. It replaced the wooden Butcher's bridge. The bridge was one of the first steel reinforced concrete structures built in Europe. The architectural style is Art Nouveau. The parapet walls, the arches, and the lanterns, are the most noticeable architectural elements.
A tarnished bronze dragon statue like the one shown occupies each corner of the bridge. The four beasts appear to be identical. The dragons were not included in the original bridge design. The bridge was officially named the Emporer Franz Josef Bridge, in honor of the reigning Habsburg emporer. As popular as Franz Josef may have been in Wien ( Vienna ), he was about as popular as a Tuberculosis epidemic in Slovenija. The Slovenes defiantly added the symbol of their city ( the dragons ) to the bridge, and have called it Zmajski most ever since.
The dragon has been the symbol of Ljubljana for centuries. The part of the river where Ljubljana is now located, is where ancient Grecian mythology hero Jason slew the dragon when he and his Argonauts were carrying the Golden Fleece homeward. The name has stuck with Ljubljanans. People from Ljubljana ( especially sports teams ) are known as little dragons.

Are dragons always green?
Well... Puff, Draco, and this Ljubljana dragon, they all seem to be green colored or of similar hue.hmmm?
Anyway , the Zmazski Most or the Dragon Bridge, is one of the landmarks of this city. It has 4 dragons, 2 each on both side. It was built in 1901, in Art Nouveau style.And was built on the former Butcher's Bridge.

Here be dragons!
To the delight of my children, dragons are big in Ljubljana!
The most obvious dragons in the town guard the Dragon Bridge. Local legend has it that when a virgin passes, the dragon twitches its tail - I can't attest to whether this is true or not, as when we were there, it was a wet and miserable Sunday afternoon, so there weren't enough young women wandering around to trial their virtue!
The second photo is of the lift doors from the funincular up into the castle. Frankly the dragon detail is an irrelevancy, but it is whimsical and charming. I am also heartened that something that would be pretty easy to vandalise was still intact!
Zmajski most (Dragon Bridge)
This bridge, designed by architect Jurij Zaninović, is known and named for its dragon statues. Originally intended to be named the "Jubilee Bridge" in honor of Hapsburg Emperor Franz Josef's 40th anniversary of rule, the name quickly changed. It's enjoyable to take photos of the bridge itself, as well as views from it.

The Dragon Bridge
Dragon is a symbol of Ljubljana and Dragon Bridge is the most recognisable bridge across river Ljubljanica in Ljubljana. On each side of the bridge is a dragon guarding and protecting the city.
Here used to be a wooden bridge, but it was rebuilt due to increased traffic.
Dragon Bridge - Zmajski Most
A few meters away from the famous triple bridge, you will find another famous Ljubljana bridge, the dragon bridge. It was built in 1901 by Josef Melan century when Ljubljana was part of the Austro-Hungarian empire. Melan used a new system of cunstruction on this bridge which later became popular in Europe and the USA. There are four bronze dragons as "gate guards", two on each side of the bridge.
Some background about the dragons: It is said that Jason, greek hero and leader of the Argonauts, fought with a dragon and killed it at the place where Ljubljana stands now. Although the legend is quite old, it was not until the recent centuries that the dragon got its symbloic character for Ljubljana. Jurij Zaninovica designed the dragons you see sitting on this bridge.
- Architecture
Dragon Bridge
The Dragon Bridge lies to the north-east of the old town and takes its name from the statues of dragons on either side.
According to Lonely Planet: "Locals say the dragons wag their tails whenever a virgin crosses the bridge", though this sounds to me like one of those tall tales you read in a guide which actually turn out to be rubbish. Any locals agree with me?
The walk between on the north bank of the river between this bridge and the Triple Bridge offers great views of the old town and the castle.
Zmajski Most (Dragon Bridge)
The Dragon Bridge was build 1901 as one of the first ferroconcrete construction in Europe. There are four dragons, it looks really nice!
The Dragon is the symbol of Ljubjlana, and there's a legend about a dragon. It says that Ljubljana was founded by the Greek hero Jason, the leader of the Argonauts. He had captured the Golden Fleece and on this escape he came to the place where Ljubljana is found now. He there came across a dragon and had a fight with it in which he killed the dragon.
- Architecture
Here be Dragons!
The Dragon is the symbol of Ljubljana, appearing on the city's coat of arms. When the Zmajski Most was built in 1901 dragons were incorporated into the design and now stand on guard at both sides of the bridge.
It was the intention that the bridge should be built to celebrate the Golden Jubilee of Emperor Franz Josef's reign and the bridge was named after him. However, who can compete with dragons and over the years the bridge's original name has been discarded and its informal name adopted. You'll also find that dragons are extremely photogenic!

Zmajski Most
Legend has it that the dragons on the bridge represent the dragon that Jason (as in Jason and the Argonauts) slaid as he fled with the Golden Fleece.
The bridge which crosses the Ljubljanica replaced an older wooden bridge built in 1819 (Mesarski Most). The Art Noveau 'Dragon Bridge' was built in 1901 and was originally named Jubilee Bridge (Jubilejni Most). It was designed by Josef Melan but the Art Nouveau side of the bridge was designed by Jurij Zaninoviæ who designed the copper dragon located at each corner as well as the decorative concrete sides.
The Dragon Bridge
The Dragon Bridge was built in 1901 and has four large dragons guarding the
entrance on both sides. Dragons are the symbol of Ljubljana.
When the bridge was built, it was one of the largest reinforced concrete bridges in Europe. The official name of the bridge was 'The Jubilee Bridge of the Emperor Franz Josef I' but I guess that was a bit long and it was unofficially renamed the Dragon Bridge.

How can you convert a drive relative path such as D:test.xml into an absolute path that a function such as XDocument.Load() will accept. The D drive could have D:\data as its current working directory, for example, so D:test.xml would mean D:\data\test.xml . I've already tried such concoctions as D:.\test.xml .
Here is the error I get for something like D:test.xml: Invalid URI: A Dos path must be rooted, for example, 'c:\'

Traders hit out at roadworks' duration
Last updated at 13:47, Saturday, 11 February 2012
A GARAGE boss has criticised how long it is taking for nearby roadworks to be completed and says they have hit custom.
There has been restricted access on Long Lane and Mill Brow, Dalton, since January 16 to allow for resurfacing and work to build new kerbs and repair a footpath and crash barrier.
Cumbria Highways originally forecasted the work to be finished by Monday.
Steve Spedding, owner of Long Lane Garage, contacted the Evening Mail to claim the disruption time could have been reduced.
He said: "I fail to see people on there working and it just looks shut for no reason.
"The amount of customers we aren't getting, it's unbelievable.
"I bought 60 tonnes of salt as an add-on to business because of the bad weather, but I've still got 60 tonnes.
"I've sold practically none of it, because I'm not getting the passing trade.
"I've lost customers and I've spoken to people who have given up trying to get to me.
"I can give you names of people who have said 'when are you open? I'll come and see you then'."
Mr Spedding said traffic tailbacks on Park Road had resulted in 30-minute journeys between Barrow and Dalton for him to deliver vehicles.
He said: "I can't believe the lack of people that are coming in and, because one road is shut, what mayhem it's caused.
"I wouldn't mind if I went that way and saw people working.
"But taking into consideration I'm going five or six times a day, I never see a man."
A spokeswoman for Wynsors World of Shoes in Long Lane, said takings were down by more than half for the same time last year.
She said: "Takings are right down. It's been dead. We have a customer count every day so we can see who is coming and going.
"There's a few people I've spoken to who have thought Long Lane was shut for the whole duration of the roadworks, because of a sign in Dalton.
"I drive past and I've never seen anybody working."
A Cumbria County Council spokeswoman said: "These are essential resurfacing and footway reconstruction works we're carrying out.
"As with any road improvement scheme, some disruption is inevitable, which we apologise for, but we are doing all we can to keep any inconvenience to a minimum.
"The work will bring long-term improvements to Long Lane and works are due to be completed next week."

Have your say
âThe work will bring long-term improvements to Long Lane..."
But it won't stop the idiots who bomb along it and cause accidents :(

The chinks in Hillary Clinton's once impenetrable armor have been found. Hillary's opponents have been able to link her stand – or lack thereof – on issues to reinforce voter's doubts about her honesty and electability. Doubts about her positions on Iraq and Iran and her inability to provide straightforward answers on issues such as social security, access to her White House records, and driver's licenses for illegal immigrants have led to what seems like her first losing media cycle of the campaign. Even her husband – usually a media darling – seemed to stumble as he attempted to defend his wife from ramped up criticism.
While there are questions about the impact of Hillary's performance on voters, what is clear is that the media has abandoned the invincibility story line and her opponents are trying to take advantage.
Some polls do show her lead over Barack Obama shrinking. A CNN poll had her lead down from 30% to 17% while a Washington Post/ABC poll shrank from 33% to 23%. And in the crucial state of Iowa a recent Zogby poll has her clinging to a 28 to 25 lead (down from 30 – 19) while Rasmussen saw her New Hampshire lead shrink to its lowest level this year
Whatever her national numbers, a loss in Iowa or even a narrow victory in New Hampshire would be a huge setback for the candidate perceived as the presumed nominee. Losing the expectations game can have enormous consequences.
What should also concern Hillary are voter's negative perceptions of her. Polls continue to show her with negatives in the mid to high forties; higher than any of her rivals. Specifically, the Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found that 43% of voters had a negative perception of her honesty. This seems to indicate that the criticisms are having an effect
Fueling these doubts are questions about her character and her electability and these are the points her opponents are driving home. Organizations like Stop Her Now have been raising the issue of access to White House documents for months, but it was only after the debate that it became an issue in the campaign. After Tim Russert asked Hillary about the issue, Obama went on record as finding her answers "a problem" and "disingenuous" thus kicking off another round of media stories questioning why the documents were being held until after the election.
Richard H. Collins is the founder of StopHerNow.com, a website dedicated to educating the public about Hillary Clinton's liberal record.

Telecommuters seen as weakest link in network security
For so-called small- to mid-sized enterprises (SMEs), the security risk created by the proliferation of telecommuters has been especially worrying. A recent survey by WatchGuard Technologies of its own customer base of businesses with 1,000 or fewer employees found that 25% of IT administrators believe that remote workers present the biggest security challenge in their organizations.
The primary problem, many of these administrators believe, is that the telecommuters simply aren't security savvy enough to protect themselves.

Volume 6, Number 2, Spring 2013
pp. 131-154 | 10.1353/isl.2013.0019
Islam and Christianity both continue to spread in East Africa, in part due to organized proselytization efforts. In this study, converts to Islam in Tanzania and Kenya will be interviewed to determine to what extent their conversion was influenced by a local Islamic propagation organization. The study will also explore whether the converts feel that the organization's religious and non-religious activities, such as economic development activities, are serving their needs, or whether there is a disconnect between the Islamic propagation organizations and the converts they are serving.

The Student and Exchange Visitor Program released long-anticipated draft guidance about conditional admission and bridge, or pathway, programs on Thursday. Students admitted to the growing numbers of these programs typically have to complete an intensive English sequence or, in the case of bridge programs, a combination of ESL and academic coursework, prior to being fully admitted into a regular degree program. In such cases, many colleges have made it a practice to issue an I-20 -- a document that prospective students present in applying for visas – certifying a student's admission to a regular degree program even if that student starts out in ESL. However, the new draft guidance suggests they will no longer be able to do this, as an I-20 can only be issued for a program for which a student meets all admission requirements.
"School officials may agree to admit a student into a program of study pending satisfactory completion of admission prerequisites via another program of study (such as, a bridge program or English language program of study)," the draft guidance states. "However, a student must meet all admission requirements for the first program of study and then transfer to the next subsequent program of study upon successful completion of the prerequisites. At all times, the student must meet all admission requirements for a program of study prior to...issuance of the Form I-20."
The draft guidance also outlines acceptable standards for bridge programs, which some universities run in cooperation with other entities. The guidance would require all schools involved in delivering a bridge program to be SEVP-certified. And while a university may contract with another SEVP-certified institution -- such as an ESL school -- to provide English training or other nonacademic aspects of the program, all academic coursework must be governed by the university issuing the I-20.
"We are going through it very carefully. It is quite an extensive document," said Patricia Juza, the director of global programs at Baruch College and vice president for advocacy for the American Association of Intensive English Programs. "We're impressed by the level of detail and the amount of legal foundation for some of the explanations."
"There are a couple of things that might require some institutions to change business practices slightly, such as with bridge programs, I don't believe from the research we've done that all colleges and universities that have bridge programs issue distinct I-20s for those currently," she said. A few outstanding questions she has include how this new guidance would affect graduate students, specifically, and the impact on students who are admitted into a degree program but are found to need additional ESL training after arriving on campus." We're not clear whether that school has to issue a new I-20" in that case, she said.

January 9, 2008
After a tough first season in College Station, coach Rob Childress guided the Aggies to the NCAA Tournament in 2007. There, the Aggies won the College Station Regional before bowing out at the hands of in-state foe Rice.
With last season still fresh in the Aggies' minds, they enter the spring with extra motivation and higher expectations.
The Aggies had one of the most aggressive offensive lineups last season, but must replace key hitters Brandon Hicks, Parker Dalton and Craig Stinson, among others. As a result, second baseman Blake Stouffer and designated hitter Luke Anders must continue their successful ways.
While the offense is expected to be in good shape, the Aggies have some questions to answer on the mound.
Without Nicholson and Newmann, Kyle Thebeau and Kirkland Rivers must rise to the occasion. Additionally, freshman Barret Loux is expected to be an immediate contributor.
If the pitching staff meets expectations, the Aggies should be in good shape. If not, the offense must be more productive. Even with some question marks signs point to a successful campaign.
The Aggies have some key offensive contributors to replace, but welcome back their best player � All-American Blake Stouffer.
With a target on his back, Stouffer must once again rise to the occasion. The senior batted .398 with 12 homers and 85 RBIs last season. He also slugged .668 and had a .487 on-base percentage.
While Stouffer leads the charge, the Aggies are also expecting strong campaigns from Luke Anders, Kyle Colligan, Darby Brown and Ben Feltner, among others.
Anders batted .336 with 11 homers and 46 RBIs last season, while Colligan and Feltner were key contributors. Brown hopes to rebound after injuries plagued him last season.
Newcomers Jose Duran and Brooks Raley are also expected to be key contributors, while returnees Brian Ruggiano and Kevin Gonzalez assume more important roles.
Much like last season, the Aggies will live to put pressure on opposing teams. And like last season, the Aggies will likely experience success at the plate.
Starting pitching
As the season nears, the most important question facing the Aggies is their weekend rotation. Last season, the Aggies received consistent performances from Kyle Nicholson and David Newmann. However, both pitchers are gone.
Hoping to rebound from their losses, the Aggies will look to Kirkland Rivers, Kyle Thebeau and Barret Loux for comfort.
Rivers and Thebeau were outstanding down the stretch last season, but have had consistency issues.
As a junior last season, Rivers went 2-3 with a 5.21 ERA in 38 innings of work. He also struck out 25 and walked 20. Thebeau went 3-6 with a 4.67 ERA in 79 innings. He also struck out 92 and walked 36, while opponents hit him at a .240 clip.
Loux, a freshman, could end up being the gem of the pitching staff. The talented right-hander had an exceptional fall and caught the coaching staff's attention in impressive fashion.
Even with some uncertainty, the A&M rotation has upside.
With weekend starters Kyle Nicholson and David Newmann logging over 100 innings last season, the Aggies didn't have to rely too much on their bullpen to get it done.
That probably won't be the case in 2008.
Even without Nicholson and Newmann, the Aggies believe the weekend rotation will be in good hands. However, the bullpen will likely play a more integral role early in the season. Of course, that might not be a bad thing for Childress and Co.
The bullpen is highlighted by sophomore Travis Starling, senior Jordan Chambless and freshman Brooks Raley. Sophomore Scott Migl will also factor into the equation, but his exact role is still to be determined.
Starling throws a knucklecurve and had a 1.33 ERA in 20 1/3 innings of work last season, while Chambless has the ability to be a shutdown reliever. To date, he has had several injury issues.
Raley could be the most interesting player to watch. The gritty freshman is currently slated to start in the outfield. But if the Aggies decide he's too valuable in the bullpen, it will be interesting to see what transpires.
Shoes to Fill
After losing a few key players from last year's team, the Aggies enter the spring with some important holes to fill. The Aggies must replace offensive contributors Parker Dalton, Craig Stinson and Brandon Hicks, among others. Perhaps most discouraging, the Aggies must also replace weekend starters Kyle Nicholson and David Newmann. Though A&M has been in this position before, they must replace 22 wins with the departures of Nicholson and Newmann. The Aggies have some work to do in this regard.
Must Step Up
With a Super Regional berth on the line last season, the Aggies sent hard-throwing right-hander Kyle Thebeau to the mound.
Despite having a history of inconsistent performances, Thebeau rose to the occasion and pitched a gem against Louisiana-Lafayette in the College Station Regional Championship.
For the Aggies to take the next step, Thebeau must establish consistency � preferably early in the season.
If Thebeau emulates his Regional performance on a consistent basis this spring, the Aggies could be in business. If not, they will have to search for another reliable arm.
Impact Newcomer
Like many college baseball teams, the Aggies were plucked by the MLB Draft last June. Somehow, they were able to hold on to talented right-handed pitcher Barret Loux. Loux is expected to be in the weekend rotation and brings an impressive demeanor to the table. Loux throws three pitches for strikes and does a great job of controlling the running game. According to Childress, Loux went through fall workouts like a veteran. With the pitching staff A&M's main concern, Loux comes at the right time.
JUCO transfer shortstop Jose Duran is another player to watch. Replacing Brandon Hicks in the infield, Duran has a great combination of strength and speed. He's also a guy Childress believes can be a good doubles hitter this season. The Aggies have a void without Hicks, but Duran should be an adequate replacement.

This Wed. I will be losing my Internet for a week while I move. I hope to not miss any comic strip updates in that time, but it has been very busy packing and organizing everything. Also I won't be able to respond to any emails and such until I am reconnected either. Thanks for your patience in this matter everyone. I hope everyone is enjoying the strip, I hope to feel less rushed and put out more of the bigger strips once I'm moved, lately it seems all I can do just to get a strip done. The move will cut down on my travel time to work by an hour and half a day, so ya more time! and I will be closer to Brian aka GreyWyvern my buddy and the web master guy for this site so that will be awesome!
So wish me luck with the move and thanks for stopping by..

Guest Strips
It so happens I have gotten a new job in a new city, I'm commuting 50 min each way until we move in Sept. so I'm really busy. To help me through this busy time I have great people doing guest strips for me and I will be posting them as I receive them. I feel really lucky to get the help and support from so many talented cartoonists, I hope you all enjoy seeing them as they come up, as I do.

Tom Dell'ringa's comic strip Marooned is one of those strips I have always meant to get around to reading but never did. Well I was missing out! 3 weeks ago I finally sat down and traveled through his archive, What great stroytelling and characters. After reading 180 strips I was so involved in the storyline that I felt the urge to draw his characters, and fired off some fan art, which you can see there today. Tom is a crafty storyteller and innovative cartoonist that is always striving to create the best comic he can, It is definitely a website worth book marking! So don't be silly like me , check it out right away.
