Decided to look back at my top 50 prospects, and decided to grade it out. One thing I noticed, I seemed to have looked over a few of the Auburn guys from last year(Burns, Ramsey), and gave depths guys rankings to high(Graham)

Good stuff.
You get a f for not having karns anywhere on that list.lol. Who in my opinion is their #1 pitching prospect.
Yeah, well at the time like Luke said, Karns was a 23 year old with 0 games in full season ball. If I had to make a list now, I would probably have Karns behind Meyer, and maybe Rosenbaum. Maybe sometime in the next few days I will throw together a list. and FWIW I had a guy who was realesed on the list, and crossed out Billy Burns and Caleb Ramsey, so I wasnt very good with the Auburn guys(thats the flaws of making lists based on box-scores)

A Mechanicsburg woman reported to Silver Spring Township police that she was traveling east on Route 114 at 5:15 p.m. March 2 when she saw the driver in the vehicle next to her masturbating.
She said the small, older, tan work-type truck pulled up next to her at a red light as she was about to turn left on Carlisle Pike.
The woman did not get the vehicle's registration. She believes that the vehicle had a ladder in the bed or a ladder rack on the back. She described the man as white, in his mid-40s with long straight hair.
Anyone with information on the identity of the man may call Silver Spring Township Police Department at 717-697-0607 or the anonymous tip line at 717-591-8242.

KENNESAW, Ga. - Junior righthander John Nasshan (1-0) threw 6.2 strong innings, freshman center fielder Max Murphy hit his first career home run and Bradley (1-1) held off host Kennesaw State (0-1) for its first win of the 2012 season Friday afternoon at Stillwell Stadium.
Nasshan scattered six hits, struck out four and allowed three runs before giving way to the Braves bullpen. Senior righthander Jacob Booden got a strikeout to end the seventh with the tying run at third base and worked a perfect eighth inning before turning things over to fellow senior righty Danny Gifford, who worked a perfect ninth to earn his first career save.
Kennesaw State took the game's first lead after center fielder Will Howard's double to open the bottom of the second. Howard took third on a Peyton Hart flyout and scored on a Max Pentecost ground out.
The Braves countered with three runs in the top of the fourth after each of the inning's first five hitters reached base. Rob Elliott and Mike Tauchman each singled and shortstop Jason Leblebijian followed with an RBI double to forge a 1-1 tie.
After catcher Derek Sprout walked to load the bases, right fielder Bob Schuch put the Braves in front by hitting a ground ball that Owls second baseman Andy Almonte could not handle. Jerrod Eigsti's ground ball double play plated Leblebijian for a 3-1 Bradley lead.
Murphy gave the Braves a necessary insurance run when he led off the fifth with his first career home run, a solo blast to left center for a 4-1 lead.
Kennesaw State chipped away with single runs in the sixth and seventh, before Booden and Gifford shut the door.Bradley began Friday's action with a 6-4 loss to Virginia Tech and will face the Hokies again Saturday morning in a game scheduled to start at 10 a.m. (EST), two hours earlier than originally scheduled, due to expected afternoon rain. Senior right-hander Justin Ziegler, who tied Bradley's single-season school record with eight saves as the Braves closer last season, is expected to get the start against the Hokies. Senior lefthander Tory Doerr (2-4 in 2011) is the scheduled starter for Sunday's weekend finale against Kennesaw State.

Secrets of Success
Happy things, and talking myself through not so happies...
Thursday, March 20, 2008
First the good...
I was terrified at weighing in today. Fool me for 3 days, scale, shame on you, fool me for 4 days...ya know. I guess I am a fool because it's even LOWER today at 195.2. I want to know how I miraculously lost over 6 lbs in 4 days. If I could bottle that and sell it to the crazy crash diet people out there...nah, I'd just be as bad as them. But I would be rich and not have to deal with work b.s. See later in my post. This is even after a fairly larger than normal and uber late (finished at 10:40pm) dinner. Who knows what craziness could happen tomorrow. I'll have to go back and look at my patterns, because I have a feeling that I first lose the weight, then my actual size goes down (I sure don't feel 6 lbs lighter, my pants fit the same). That might be a little easier to stomach going forward when I stall for a week or 2.
The bad and the ugly...
I was so incredibly excited about the end of this week, as it is the end of crunch! Yahooo! Well, indeed it IS the end, for 2 weeks or so. It's simply a little reprieve. Depending on how things are looking we will likely start super uber mega crunch of up to 12 hour days, 6 or 7 days per week. How, prey tell, does one fit in ANY sort of workout in there? That's a 9am to 10pm with a lunch hour (and if I'm going stir crazy now sitting at my desk 10 hours per day, I'll definitely need a break in a 12).
This is also going to be the ultimate test of my commitment to weight loss. Every other time I've been on a schedule like this I've given up working out and eaten junk food because "poor me, I'm working too much, I might as well make myself feel better by eating a tasty meal". I know logically that this makes no sense. I feel better when I eat better. I feel worse when I eat a lot of junk. When I eat better, my weight goes down, and I feel better. When I eat a lot of junk, my weight stays the same or goes up, and I feel worse. But that gets a little muddle when I'm two weeks in and bleary eyed and I don't f'ing WANT the chicken wrap, I want the burger and fries and don't want to make it fit in the rest of my day by eating well.
I also have to take stock and realize that I cannot expect to keep up a 60 minute workout 5 days per week on a 1500 calorie diet right now. I should be happy with maintaining. But I DONT WANNA! I've been doing so good and I am so terrified of losing momentum, I feel like I need to at least shoot for .5 lb per week, so that I can keep at it.
Things I'm considering:
-Asking for special permission to take a workout break at our office gym later in the day and just laying heavy on the deoderant and perfume (the shower there scares me). I bet I could probably rock the elipse machine just about as hard as I do dance dance and maybe even try running on the treadmill. Different cardio could really do me good!
-Bringing in my weights and using my ball for some impromptu strength training through the day even if people look at me funny. If I have the reputation of being the office fitness nut, I'm ok with that.
-Something I will NOT do is that whole "walk around more" or "take 5 minutes and run the stairs" stuff. If it works for you, that rocks. It doesn't work for me because #1 - if I'm going to workout, I want to SWEAT. A little walk does nothing for me and #2 - I do not wear the kind of shoes and clothes to work that I could do this comfortably. If I'm changing, I'm going to head to the office gym and see how icky wet I can make my hair in 30 ins.
-Decide what I am ok with calorie range/loss wise...
Some scenarios:
Minimum Workouts (30x3) and Maintenance - 1850-2200 cal
Cutting 30 mins per day (30x5) and Maintenance - 2000-2350 cal
Normal Workouts (60x5) and Maintenance - 2200-2550 cal (good to know!)
Basically, each .5 lb I want to try for per week equals cutting 250 calories. So if I go to minimum workouts, I need to eat about 1800 to lose .5 lbs, 1550 to lose 1 lb, or 1250 to lose 1.5 lbs. I really hate eating that low, so I think I will aim for 30 minutes x 5 days (or maybe 60 mins one day, and 30 mins for 3 days) and eating between 1475 and 1825, for a 1 lb loss per week. If I can do better, I will. I think I can make it out alive, folks. I think I'll probably be able to make it through the month of April and not gain my 70 lbs back. 10:30 pm workouts are not fun, but they are an option if I go overboard.
Ok, talking this through with myself I feel better. I can do this. It's not the end of the world, and unless I get out of the industry, it's going to happen again. Not everyone out there in sparkland has perfect 40 hour work weeks and a home life supportive weight loss and all the good things going for me previously, and they do it. I bet I can too even with a few ripples in my pond.
Anyone have advice for me? Been through circumstances that were hell for your waistline but persevered and want to tell me your shiny story? Tell me. :)

It sounds like you have a plan and are being reasonable. Have you been much better with salt or fiber or something like that and could it be giving yyou a weight loss boost recently? Are the batteries in your scales fresh--been there, done that one myself, only to replace an older scales and have the new one tell me the truth....
Something I read recently on here somewhere was a woman who said that she wouldn't do any more fitness now than she was willing to do in the long term to keep up the maintenance and I agree with her-- nothing drastic to lose, even if it means losing more slowly because the real point here is keeping the pounds off once they are gone. We could be manics now with exercise and really cutting calories more, but it wouldn't serve us well in the long term.

Small bruises?
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
Hey, I've been on Coumadin for 3 or 4 weeks now and today I've noticed some very small (dime-sized) bruises on the side/back of my right thigh. Maybe some faint varicose-vein-looking discoloration if you squint, but I'm not sure if that's normal or not because it's not a body part I've spent a lot of time looking at, you know? I don't remember smacking into this area, but I've been trying to clean because my in-laws are going to come visit on Friday for a few days, so I've been crawling around on the floor and stuff. I hate to call the clinic because I just bugged them with a dumb question about whether I could take Maalox this morning. :p So, when they say to call about unexplained bruising, are they talking about big ugly bruises or little ones?
I was tested last Thursday and had a lovely INR of 2.4; they said I could go for 2 weeks with no test, so my next one isn't till the 28th.

roubai, LOL I am usually covered in bruises. Some are dime sized some are big whoppers but the big whoppers are usually when I run into something obvious. Its amazing how easily we bruise and don't realize we have actually hit something or run into something that's going to cause that bruise. My advice is if the bruising continues and/or gets worse by all means go into the ER or your doctors office, especially if you get a massive bruise and you can't explain it away. It sounds like things are going good if your INR is nice and therapeutic at 2.4. I will add that anytime you feel uncomfortable about anything it isn't dumb to call the clinic, ER or your doctor to ask about whats on your mind. Unfortunately most doctors and nurses have no clue of the emotional roller coaster we are on. We just went through a very serious life changing event and survived it, We would really like to continue to survive. So remember no question is dumb. Continue to be your own best advocate and good luck.

Thanks, Ferr, I'm still a n00b as you can tell :)
I remember when one of my professors came to class with the back of his hand practically black (and he was an elderly pale Irish-American)--I asked him what happened and he said he was on "blood-thinners" for another condition and he'd just gotten a normal bruise but it looked like that as a result. :P I guess I know what I have to look forward to, LOL.

Good advice Ferr.
I get small, pencil eraser size bruises on my arms and legs all the time. I work in an office and I think it's just from bumping my arm here and there or hitting my leg on a chair or a file cabinet. Hell, getting in and out of my car sometimes bangs me up. We aren't aware of all the hits our bodies take on a daily basis.
You will slowly start to not even notice this stuff anymore. But you gotta look out for yourself too. You will get experienced in knowing what seems normal for you and what seems weird. For now, I think it's good to question stuff.
And cheers for the good INR!

Thanks, rmb! I suppose it's just from bumping into stuff as I clean. In that case I'll probably collect a lot more before I finish...

HI all, sometimes things that I think will leave a mark don't leave a thing, and other times, I gets bruises that I have no idea where they came from. Sometimes just the dogs jumping up leave marks on my legs. The other night, my leg was itching-I had a big red area with broken blood vessels fore the next 2 days- then I just scratched my face and it left a mark in the moring. I was expecting my INR to be too high-checked it-2.0 -so I give up! So never can tell when it will happen, if it will or won't happen- a bruise is a bruise no matter if we know where it comes from or not . I guess.
Blessings, Teri

When I bruise... I really bruise ! Usually means I took a crash on the mtn bike.
Took an endo the other week and landed on my shin just below my knee and the bruise ended up going all the way down to my ankle.
But I just got a nice shiny new race mtn bike. and wow is that thing fast and flows. Its like a gun...... pull the trigger and it just fires off like a bullet. Can't wait to ride it more and more.

Cast: Nagarjuna,sneha
Director: Vijayendra Prasad
Producer: Nagarjuna Akkineni
Music: MM Keeravani
Story/Writer: Vijayendra Prasad
Rating 3.25/5
What is all about …
Rajanna is a story of a freedom fighter who motivated people with his songs during the post independence to fight against the tyranny of feudalists and land lords. Rajanna breathes his last fighting with them till last breath.
Later, They are after Rajanna's daughter Mallamma who escapes from their iron fists and reaches Delhi to meet Prime Minister Nehru to complain about the agony their village is undergoing.
How they performed?
Nagarjuna's performance as Rajanna is good. He worked hard on dialogue delivery and expression. Above all, he should be commended for accepting a role which has very little time space.
Sneha is good in the limited role she is offered. The girl Annie who acted as Mallamma in the movie is simply outstanding in the movie. She is the one who have biggest screen space in the movie and made use of it completely. Audience laughed and wept along with her character.
Rest of them are good.
Technical Departments:
Director Vijayendra Prasad had selected a very good story line. He managed to deliver good output too. However, he should have tried and embed more emotional content. There are some instances where the movie is a bit slowed down.
Veyyi ra veyyi song pictuirzation and the climax fight which are directed by Rajamouli are simply outstanding. Keeravani's Back ground score is simply awesome.
Lachuvamma Lachuvamma Ladayi le song should have edited as it disturbed the flow of the movie.
Final word:
Rajanna is a honest attempt. Nagarjuna should be commended for accepting such a movie in the first case. Even with some flaws, the movie is reasonably good. However, the commercial success of the movie can not be assessed now.

When the swarmer/attacker legitimately loses to the boxer or better technician the first time, and this applies to the first Mayweather-Maidana fight, the rematch is usually a rerun and easier for the boxer.
Conversely, when the swarmer beats the boxer the first time, it's not out of the ordinary for the boxer to win the rematch. Two of the most high profile boxer vs. swarmer/fighter match-ups in history unfolded just that way.
"Smokin" Joe Frazier conclusively beat Muhammad Ali in the "Fight Of The Century" back in March of 1971. However, in their 1974 rematch, Ali adjusted and used the ring more to move and box along with tying Frazier up on the inside and went on to reverse the decision loss he suffered against Joe the first time they met.
Six years later in the "Brawl In Montreal" Roberto "Hands of Stone" Duran lured and prodded Sugar Ray Leonard into trying to beat him by fighting it out and trading with him. Like Frazier versus Ali the first time, Duran overwhelmed Leonard and won the fight via a close decision. When they met five months later, Leonard, having learned from the colossal mistake he made trying to kick Duran's butt the first time, used the ring and boxed Duran. This resulted in Duran becoming frustrated and ultimately withdrawing from the bout.
Boxing history is replete with examples of the swarmer catching the boxer by surprise in the first fight and forcing him to fight and trade and not allowing or giving the boxer the time or distance needed to box. In the rematch, if the boxer happens to possess a dependable chin, they're able to adjust and neutralize the aggression, pressure and power of the swarmer/attacker.
Fighting as a swarmer is the toughest way to make a living in professional boxing. If you notice, there have only been four great swarmers in heavyweight history - Jack Dempsey, Rocky Marciano, Joe Frazier and Mike Tyson. Swarmers/attackers have to be able to punch, cut off the ring, possess endless stamina and must be both physically and mentally tough. And since they get hit on the way in, they need tough skin. Swarmers are the least versatile of any style fighter. If they face an opponent who they can't track down and work over on the inside, they're dead in the water. If they confront an opponent who can hurt them from the outside before they can close the distance and force it on the inside, they're dead in the water. In addition to that, if they have an opponent in front of them who isn't bothered by their punch and can take whatever they dish out and have the capacity to come back and fight after they've beat on them with regularity, again, they're dead in the water.
When Marcos Maidana 35-4 (31) fought Floyd Mayweather 46-0 (26) this past May, he was stunned and blunted often by Floyd before he was able to get inside and work. And when he was able to get inside and cut loose with his looping bombs, he wasn't able to hurt Floyd or do enough damage to the point where Mayweather couldn't box, pot shot and pick his spots when he needed to. In short, what we saw was, Mayweather was able to inflict some hurt on the outside before Marcos got inside. He was also able to handle and weather Maidana's best when he did get through with something big. And we also watched Mayweather rally during the last third of the fight after Maidana had some big rounds working him over against the ropes and in the corners. When it was over Mayweather was the benefactor of a 12-round majority decision that should've been unanimous.
Earlier this year we saw heavyweight Bermane Stiverne beat Chris Arreola, who fights as an attacker, easier and more conclusively in their rematch. Arreola was picked apart the first time they fought and promised to be more prepared and ready for the rematch. Only that was a pipe dream because there was nothing Chris could do stylistically to reverse the first fight. Stiverne was able to take his punch and he was the superior fighter and technician. Without the capability of hurting Stiverne, Arreola didn't own a single tool needed to beat him. There was nothing he could do because his pressure, punch and aggression couldn't break Stiverne's boxing and quicker hands.
So I ask: what can Maidana do in the rematch against Mayweather that he didn't do the first time? I'll answer...Other than more of what didn't work the first time, nothing.
Without ever seeing Maidana before, Mayweather was able to handle his power and aggression. Maidana isn't going to carry a bigger punch into the ring with him when they meet for the second time in September. Now what? Maybe he'll try to be more aggressive and throw more punches - which will most likely open him up to getting hit more than he did the first time. Like he did in his rematch with swarmer Jose Luis Castillo, who should've received the decision in their first fight because he really did win it, Mayweather will box smarter and make his punches count more this time against Maidana.
Floyd will benefit greatly from having already seen Marcos. Maidana's unorthodox style and punching angles will now look familiar and be easier for Mayweather to anticipate before they're even sent. Mayweather now knows he can stand up to the best Maidana has - and Maidana knows it too. The reality is, unless Mayweather becomes an old fighter on the night of the fight, and there's no indication that's even plausible, or Maidana has Panama Lewis wrap his hands, there's not one single thing Maidana can do differently or better when they fight again. Even if Mayweather consents to the so-called myth of the puncher's gloves that Marcos wants to wear in this fight, which is more of a figment in Maidana's mind. And that's the biggest reason why Mayweather will object to it.
Mayweather got slightly surprised the first time (and he may also have taken Maidana a little lightly), and there's no chance that he won't be ready in the rematch. If he were even slightly worried, he wouldn't have taken the fight; we know he's just about the best matchmaker in the game. Give Floyd his due for giving Maidana the rematch he deserves. Marcos earned it with his showing in their first fight along with the compensation he'll receive. However, this fight won't be as hard for Mayweather as the first fight was, and Floyd realizes that.
Frank Lotierzo can be contacted at email@example.com
I agree with FL for the simple reason that throughout history the greatest of the greats have been lethal in rematches.
Regarding Floyd's fights with Jose Luis Castillo, I won't argue that Floyd was better in the second meeting than in the first, but -- for whatever it's worth -- the scorecards tell a different story.
Using FL's logic, Vernon Forrest should have avenged his loss to Ricardo Mayorga. I scored the rematch for Forrest, but it was plain that Forrest just wasn't well-equipped to handle Mayorga's swarming style.
Floyd by UD. The ref will give warnings and take points as soon as MM gets inside and gets a bit rough in there. MM will not be able to use the Everlast MX gloves this time either. I hope MM can make it a good fight but Floyd will have his game-plan and the Ref will be breaking them quick and often. It looks like Floyd and Manny might be taking easier bouts this time around; Are they saving themselves for the Spring? Could we see the fight the world wants to see?
I have to agree with the author here as well, although there a couple things Maidana can do in the rematch to offset Mayweather. Step to the right to avoid the right counter and land his own overhand right. Come back to the left and constantly be changing angles. In addition, his head movement seemed nonexistent in the first fight, I might be wrong. And last but not least, Maidana could improve his stamina, and Robert Garcia should implore his fighter between rounds, as he did in the in the Broner fight.

James Foley was murdered, not "executed"
Re: "Beheading spurs new attacks on Islamic militants," Aug. 21 news story.
Why are the media — The Denver Post included — using the term "execution" to describe the cold-blooded murder of journalist James Foley? Execution is defined as putting to death as a legal penalty. The perpetrators should be executed, but the act itself was murder. Is this another example of giving credibility through misuse of words — as in "suicide bomber"?

Problems focusing
My son is in 5th grade and has a terrible time focusing on his work, not that he can't, just that he thinks of his favorite things like Star Wars, Avengers, Spiderman, but cannot get his school work done! I try to do what I can without doing the work for him, but as soon as he is on his own, he can't get it done. My concern is, when he tests I will not be there to help him, he is on his own, how can I prepare him for that if he does not do it?In Topics: School and Academics, Learning issues and special needs, Motivation and achievement at school

How do I disapline effectly a 11 yr. old boy as a step parent?
My husband and I have unexpectly have been custody of his 11 yr. old son. He has not seen him in 4 yrs. I have not met him at all. My husband spent 1 week with him before going back to Afganistan. Though we have grown close in such a short amount of time, I am having problems with him lying, breaking thing (by accident) but not using common sense (ie. throwing rocks for the dogs to chase after and breaking a window and horseplaying in the house with our two german shepards and breaking my glass shelving unit). He has also been late repeatly for curfew of 8 pm not showing up til 830pm. I have taken the video game, phone, tv and allowing him to go outside to going to bed early. Tonight again he was 25 mins. late so I plan on being 25 mins. late in picking him up for track practice which I have to leave work early for. I know he is gonna call me and I plan on telling him "Oh! I am late...just as you were late for curfew. You expect me to do my part but you do not follow through with yours. I am an ex probation officer so am I being too hard? I hardly know this young man...however, my husband says everytime he speaks to me..his son either has something taken away or is on punishment. One time his disapline was to read a chapter book of 18 chapters and when he finished, he was off punishment. It took him 1.5 week. I told him that I was not gonna bug him about reading...it was up to him. After reading it..he had to explain to me what the book was about. Am I too tough?In Topics: Parenting / Our Family, Discipline and behavior challenges

If you are in the mood for a quirky comedy of biblical proportions this weekend than look no further than 'Rapture Palooza,' currently available on Netflix instant. Similar to 'This Is The End' in its premise (the survivor's tale of those left behind after the rapture), this take focuses on "normal people" who weren't dutiful in the Christian faith. So, when the faithful are lifted into the heavens, the "meh about Jesus" crowd are left on Earth to deal with those truly sinful as well as the droves of wraiths (zombie-like drones), foul-mouthed locusts, falling meteors, evil henchmen, as well as their master, the lord of the underworld himself, Craig, or "the beast" as he prefers to be called, personified by Craig Robinson (who is also in 'This is The End,' just not as Satan).
The story focuses on Lindsey Lewis, Anna Kendrick, and Ben House, John Francis Daley, a young couple left behind who decide to use this opportunity to finally start their own business. They still live with their parents (one of whom is Rob Corddry). While the story is entertaining, what really elevates this movie to a must see are the unmissable cameos/bit parts – particularly Ken Jeong's omnipotent role.

The Nandor (Quenya; IPA: [ˈnandor]; singular Nando; [ˈnandorin]) were Elves of Telerin descent, who left the Great Journey from Cuivienen to Valinor as the Elves reached the Hithaeglir (Misty Mountains). Under their leader Lenwë (Dan in their own language), a group of Teleri turned south along the Great River (Anduin), and disappeared from written history. Nandor eventually became their term for themselves, and meant people of Dan in their own language.
Many years later a group of Nandor under Denethor, son of Lenwë, crossed the Ered Luin into Ossiriand, which was after named Lindon, or Land of the singers, after these elves. They became known as the Laiquendi (singular Laiquendë) or Green Elves.
The Silvan Elves of Mirkwood and Lothlórien were descended from the Nandor (but most of their lords were not), as were the elves which dwelt at Edhellond near Dol Amroth during the early days of Gondor.
Nandorin, the language of the Nandor, gradually disappeared from Middle-earth after the end of the First Age, when Sindarin elves merged with the Silvan folk and were taken as their lords. Nandorin/Silvan gradually became extinct, surviving only in placenames such as "Laurelindórinan/Lindórinand" (old names for the land of Lórien) and proper names such as Amroth. The daily tongue of the Silvan elves became Sindarin, or Sindarin with some Silvan influences.

Women's Golf Plays Final 18 Holes of Bradley Invite
April 7, 2013
PEORIA, Ill. - The UIC women's golf team wrapped up competition in the Bradley Invitational at Weaver Ridge Golf Club in Peoria Sunday afternoon. In much improved conditions, sophomore transfer Ryann Gilley paced the Flames with an 11-over-par 83 to help UIC produce a team score of 341.
"As we have been at many times during the spring, we were led once again today by Ryann Gilley and Elizabeth Curtiss," said head coach Carol Rhoades. "Those two have been consistent all year long. I was proud of how Caitlan Smollen played, producing three consistent rounds this weekend. Our focus now is to continue to improve our team scoring leading up to the Horizon League Championships."
Gilley's 83 led a foursome of Flames shooting in the 80s in Sunday's final round. She improved upon Saturday's second 18-hole round (88) by five strokes. Sophomore Elizabeth Curtiss also enjoyed a much-improved round, carding a 13-over-par 85 after shooting 89 in Saturday's second round.
Sophomore Cherise Mangal, who produced the Flames' lone score in the 70s (79) on Saturday, shot 87 on Sunday, and ended the tournament in a tie for 22nd place overall. Meanwhile, freshman Caitlan Smollen carded an 87 on Sunday, capping off three-straight rounds in the 80s.
UIC will be idle until April 20, when the Flames compete in the two-day Loyola Invitational at the Golf Club of Illinois in Algonquin. The tourney will serve as the final tune-up prior to the Horizon League Championships from April 26-28 in Howley-in-the-Hills, Fla.

Our low this morning fell to 5 degrees! Indy's coldest wind chill was -14 at 3am. We were far from a record, however. The coldest temp on record for Indy on February 1st was -11 back in 1951.
It won't be as cold this weekend, but we will have accumulating snow as a weak system slides through tomorrow.
Most areas will get 1 to 3″ of snow, with slightly more possible in Northeastern Indiana. The snow moves in after midnight tonight and tapers late tomorrow. We'll still have scattered flurries around on Sunday.
If you're hoping for a warm-up, we'll have a minor thaw next week with highs in the mid to upper 30s.
If you believe in folklore, tomorrow if Punxutawney Phil sees his shadow, we'll have 6 more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, we'll have an early spring.
Have a great weekend!

We were sworn to secrecy. In an interview with Paradiso Parade Floats owner Charles Meier in October, your Tournament of Roses Examiner was let in on what can only be called one of the most stupendous secrets in Rose Parade history: The Public Storage float, "Adventures in Space," would be the first double-decker float and the first put together with independently functioning pieces ever to make its way down Colorado Blvd. in Pasadena.
Viewers on the street were utterly agog on Jan. 1 when the huge rocket ship with a crew of three aliens began to open amid clouds of steam. What seemed to be a whimsical creation with a minimum of animation—turning heads, rotating wheels, steam jets—revealed something no one had ever seen on the boulevard before. A ramp descended from the nose, the three rolled out in separate floats, each with its own driver, wheeled around the street and by the crowd, and piloted themselves back up a ramp through the tail. Even the veteran crew at KTLA seemed surprised.
The float won the Grand Marshal's trophy for Excellence in Creative Concept and Design. The attached slideshow should be viewed like a flipbook: in order, one after the other. Note the stages as the rocket slowly lifts and the ramps come out. An amateur video captured the moment, and the reaction of the cameraman reflects that of the entire crowd.
Though all float designs are approved by the Tournament of Roses, Meier had to get special permission for this float, because it required stopping the parade for 90 seconds to run the drill. When we spoke with him, he was not sure if they would allow it to be done twice—once for the cameras on the corner of Orange Grove and Colorado, and a second time in front of the cameras on Colorado. Fortunately for viewers, the two-peat was approved.
The title, "Adventures in Space," was touted to be a pun on Public Storage's business, a humorous take on the containers they rent for people who don't have enough space. It also ended up being a comment on how the space on the float was used, and the space-age technology that was required to pull it off. Meier has been designing floats since he was a child, and he came up with this design as a high schooler. Since Public Storage wanted a fun, not a hard-sell float, it was a perfect fit.
Flowering included 35,000 individually applied lime green button chrysanthemums for the aliens' glowing green faces; Miracle, Voodoo, Hot Lady, Topaz, High and Magic, Super Green and Cool Water roses; and more than 50,000 carnations in neon hues on the spacecraft. Green apples, oranges, limes, red cabbage, Bells of Ireland, cattleya orchids, liatris and Midori anthurium added accents. The inside of the rocket had to be covered with botanical material as well, because once the aliens descended, it was a float of its own. In total, more than 10,000 square feet had to be covered with vegetation.

Here are the first two posts: Lincoln City (link) Lincoln City Two (link).
Most of the shots here are random...except for Barnacle Bill's and Deli 101.
Barnacle Bill's is an old staple in Lincoln City...home of a great seafood market...like they have fresh dungeness crab. As long as I can remember and, I'm an old duffer, it's been around. I'm sure it's changed hands a half a dozen times, though.
As far as I know Deli 101 (link) is fairly new, as compared to Barnacle Bill's. I'm going to give the deli a plug.
My wife and I decided to get a deli sandwich to go. Well, there are deli sandwiches and, then there are deli sandwiches. I ordered the "Taby"...it is: turkey breast, avocado, bacon, tomato, cheese, onion. It was a "Bet you can't eat it all!" type sandwich. Actually, a two meal deal and reasonably priced.
My bride ordered the Tarragon Chicken Salad Sandwich and she had to tell him to leave off some of the chicken salad because it was so big. I had my USMC cap on and he gave us a veteran's discount on top of it all.
Enjoy the pics!

Are we too PC? 11 subjects banned from school testing in NYC— Mar 28, 2012 0 6
It is apparently quite common for school districts to request that standardized tests not include certain words that students might find offensive. But New York City's list of some 50 banned test topics is twice as long as national sensitivity lists, and stands out as "a bizarre case of political correctness run wild,"says Yoav Gonen in the New York Post. NYC Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott disagrees, telling CBS that the city Department of Education is "not an outlier in being politically correct" — it's just dealing with a more diverse student body. But most experts — not to mention students, educators, and parents — seem to be on the PC-run-amok side. Here, a look at 11 of the blacklisted topics, and why they might have been deemed problematic:
1. Birthdays
Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate birthdays
2. Dinosaurs
Some students don't believe in evolution
3. Halloween
Suggests paganism
4. Religious holidays and festivals
Could offend students who don't celebrate one or more of the holidays
5. TV, celebrities, and video games
To "avoid giving offense or disadvantage any test takers by privileging prior knowledge" like pop culture, Robert Pondiscio at the Core Knowledge Foundation tells the New York Post.
6. Computers in the home
Not all students have computers at home
7. Homes with swimming pools
Words that suggest wealth could make lower-income students jealous
8. Homelessness, poverty, and loss of employment
Words that suggest hardship "could evoke unpleasant emotions in students"
9. Dancing (except ballet, which is alright)
See: Footloose
10. Terrorism
Too scary for some students
11. "Creatures from outer space"
Perhaps the school district read about the Washington, D.C., teacher fired this month for a math test featuring, among other stomach-turners, "bloodthirsty aliens" who "sucked the blood of 828 teachers and left them for dead," then "tied up the rest of the teachers and marched them into 3 UFOs."

What is FREEDOMTAKER ?
That term comes from the idea that freedom is never given, but inherent and resident in the individual if the individual is willing to protect his/her rights, powers and freedoms against constant attacks, denials and temptations.
The idea that freedom can be granted or that it is a "benefit of citizenship" is based on defective logic. Anything that must be granted to you cannot be your freedom because someone apart from you is controlling the granting of it.
The only true freedom is that which you imagine, take and protect for yourself. If you look to someone else for your freedom you are demonstrating that you do not understand what freedom is. Freedom is taken.
This does not mean freedom should be taken rudely or selfishly. Of course we must have the wisdom to know the boundaries of our freedoms and have respect for the freedoms and rights of others.
When to Compromise?
We compromise with the most valuable and important people in our lives, our family members and our trusted friends. There should be no compromise with strangers and institutions that make claim on our rights and property.
"No compromise" means all parties who wish to have any relationship or transaction with us must act in absolute transparency and accessibility, with high integrity, full accountability, never presuming contracts with us, honoring our rescissions of contract without question or hesitation, getting fully informed and voluntary consent from us for everything they do that affects us or that costs us, upholding EVERY provision of our Constitution and disregarding any and every unconstitutional statute, code, regulation and policy. This level of freedom does not currently exist in America or any other country, but it is the ideal, and it can easily achieved when a large enough fraction of the population demand it ... without compromise.
Not everyone understands or agrees with these positions. To some, the taking of power and rights is considered a natural function of government and a corporate entitlement. They believe we must forfeit rights and freedoms to have a "civil and orderly" society. We at FREEDOM TAKER believe otherwise. Honor and accountability is only found in individuals, not in institutions.
To see if you agree with the purposes of this site visit the above link to "FreedomTaker Philosophy" and see the paragraphs below...
Our "protectors" have created an endless and growing series of crises, disasters and wars and dangers as a means to cause fear and to hold power. As governments, globalists, banks, courts, corporate oligarchs, bureaucracies and wealthy elites watch their frauds come unraveled, their debt obligation charts turn vertical and their currencies fail, as the public begins to recognize that not just politics, but even terrorism, wars and disasters are calculated mechanisms of public manipulation and control by the same small cabal of moneyed elite, as those power players demonstrate ever more desperation to control, tax, exploit, "suspect" and penalize everyone and everything in sight, basic freedoms and rights have been disappearing faster than we have been defending them, and that trend is now accelerating rapidly.
It is impossible to please the countless policies and false masters who seek to control and exploit us. Their hope is that we fail to comply and thereby be classified as "wrongdoers" and be subject to even more control and economic exploitation.
We get psychotic and contradfictory messages from our institutions and media. They entice us to "consume" to preserve the economy and pay more taxes while they penalize us for "causing too much release of carbon".
They zone our jobs far from our homes, then condemn us for commuting and polluting.
They say we must have "economic growth" while taxing economic growth at punishing levels.
As we are bombarded with technology we are blamed for our use of it causing "climate change". It is not people who cause climate change, it is technology.
Rather than bringing standard criminal justice against actual terrorists they strip-search every American who passes through an airport and they kill villages full of innocent people with unmanned drones.
We are being squeezed into impossible traps of control and penalization by irrational collectivist agendas and ideologies.
By declaring a contrived crisis of "man-caused climate change", elites seek to empower themselves to criminalize us for merely breathing. At the same time, each one of those elites who lecture us and claim authority over us consume hundreds of times the resources of the average person for maintenance of their personal lifestyles.
Centralized control and policies that serve only the policymakers must be put away. Stale assumptions about "authority" must be seriously questioned for their failures, incompetence and corruption. Our "authorities" have created a public debt so massive that it can never be settled. In spite of the fact they did that without our consent and knowledge they drain our assets and earnings to service that debt without even asking if we consented to the debt. No person alive should be allowed to create debt upon another without written consent and fair exchange. Most debt is for wars, bailouts and programs that were never approved by you or me.
Society's "planners" and "leaders" have caused millions of people to die in senseless and counterproductive wars, they have enslaved three-quarters of the world to the service of fraudulent fiat currency-based debt while they use schools and media to condition us to believe they are "competent leaders" against all evidence. Looking at what goes on, it would seem that competent leadership is not even possible.
Between 2008 and 2014 a major percent of America, an astonishing 30% of all homeowners stand to lose the the roofs over their heads in foreclosures due to bank fraud, government corruption, poor public policy, failures of leadership and protection of corporate agendas.
Police are becoming militarized and committing atrocities unheard of just a few years ago. Unmanned drone aircraft are being deployed within our borders in unlimited surveillance of a supposedly free population.
In the name of "security" our "authorities" are putting global peace and stability at greater and greater risk every day with utterly sensless military actions while causing country after country to fear, hate and swear vengeance upon America and Americans. Our "authorities" have now shown themselves to be total failures, if not our most determined enemies.
We do not need centralized control and institutional seizures of our power, wealth, rights, property and future.
This web site exists to search for and offer REAL SOLUTIONS to the major challenges and assaults upon the individual's rights, wealth, property and self-determination by "the collective", the institutional and political puppets and their puppetmasters behind the curtain.
If you have a solution that RETURNS power and rights to individuals, make sure to send us something about it that we can post. And if you need a solution like that, this will be a good place to look.
Please look over the topics on our resources page and contact us if you have any knowledge or connections to empower free individuals in those areas. We WANT to put a link up for your solution if it can be verified.
We want your video, redacted court filing documents, your proven ideas and methods of fighting the beasts otherwise known as corporate-controlled government, globalists, statists, police states, monopolies, unconstitutional statutes, and all forms of institutional force and control. Support of government must be voluntary, earned and deserved by a just and efficient government working in the public interest. Any government agency, program or action not demanded by the vast majority of Americans is illegitimate agency, programs or actions.
On this site we plan to minimize theory and speculation and maximize real answers and solutions. The times have changed. People need help and they need results. People need remedies against predatory lenders, excess taxation, property seizures, militarized police, personal control and manipulation by government, currency-controlling banks and globalist agendas.
FreedomTaker.com, like millions of other people and organizations, intends to be part of the solution, a resource and benefit to anyone who values freedom, individual sovereignty and self-sufficiency. We are losing these things at this point in history, but those losses are waking a lot of people up, and many of us are waking up angry.
Sadly, fighting for freedom is not generally done by only those who are materially comfortable or who cannot see the dangers ahead of them. Those who are blind and complacent are the first to be defeated and destroyed at the crest of the collapse. Those who are hungry and desparate are more likely to drive and welcome a revolution. Hunger and desperation is currently a growth industry nearly everywhere. Every act of official corruption, waste and injustice creates a new group of disenfranchied revolutionaries. In fact, considering the litanny of crises created by our corporate and governmental institutions, disenfranchised revolutionaries may be our nation's fatsest growing demographic segment.

Concerned about EMF (Electromagnetic Frequencies) in your home and workplace?
You need to collect the evidence!
Affordable EMF and RF Scanning meters and free video tutorials are available at
EMF Help Center
1) A safe, standard and traditional "ANALOG ELECTRIC METER" (above) which is compatible with 90% of all homes and small businesses. This meter emits no radiation, converts no AC to DC (no "dirty electricity") and stores no data other than the usage display number on the face. Unless your electrical service is unusually large, old or specialized this meter will be compatible for replacement. (If not we will refund the cost of the meter).
2) The MOUNTING RING that secures the meter in place.
4) LEGAL NOTICE TEMPLATE (Word file on a CD). You add your info (like name, address and power company name) and send it to your power company. This notice gives them a LIMITED TIME to install a safe analog meter and, if they don't, it secures YOUR right to replace the meter yourself! You may download these same documents below right now for free!
5) INSTRUCTIONS on how to fill out and send the Notice.
6) INSTRUCTIONS to help you replace your meter lawfully and safely.
7) A link to an online VIDEO showing how meter replacement can be done (see video link in right column).
8) A weather-resistant tag to notice and warn your power company of consequences if they tamper with your safe and sane meter.
NOTE: The contents and downloads on this page are not legal advice or legal services. This content is exclusively the opinion of the content contributors of this web site.
(Filename "a2"): INSTRUCTIONS: DOWNLOAD LINK
(Filename "a4): "Notice: Refusal of Unsafe and Unlawful Metering": DOWNLOAD LINK
Notice of Liability: DOWNLOAD LINK
Notice of Default: DOWNLOAD LINK
Notice to Police and Sheriff: DOWNLOAD LINK
Posted Notice - Constructive Contract: DOWNLOAD LINK
Notice of Self Defense: DOWNLOAD LINK
First, open the file named "a2". Those are your instructions on editing and mailing the template. "a4" is the template for you to edit and mail to your power company CEO. This notice reverses the authority from the utility company to the property owner. YOU ARE NOW THE BOSS! YOU MAKE THE POLICIES! THE UTILITY COMPANY IS IN CRIMINAL MALFEASANCE AND HAS LOST RIGHT OF CONTRACT! BUT YOUR NOTICE IS ONLY EFFECTIVE IF YOU ACT LIKE YOU ARE IN CHARGE AS YOUR NOTICE SAYS. This notice is used if you plan to go into headlong battle and force your power company to permit you to have a safe and lawful electromechanical meter.
Using the same process, send the Notice of Liability to your power company CEO or top executive. This causes that person to be personally responsible to pay all costs of harm and damages caused by the unlawful invasive radiation-emitting fire hazard they have put on the side of your home. This notice is used if you may not intend to force your utility company to permit you to have a safe and lawful electromechanical meter, but you plan to hold the company CEO personally, and the utility company, responsible to pay for any harm caused by the electronic meter.
After you send your notices, if your power company fails to replace your meter with a safe and lawful electromagnetic meter with NO ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS within the time allowed in your notices, edit and send the Notice of Default to strengthen your legal position.
The Notice to Police and Sheriff protects you from criminal trespass by law enforcement who may attempt to enforce your power company's corporate policies. Law enforcement MUST have a court order or a criminal complaint to enter your property. Refusal of unsafe metering is not a criminal act.
More and more, police seem to be forgetting the limits of their authority. Law enforcement has NO AUTHORITY to enforce utility company policies. They can only enforce against CRIMES. It is very wise to remind them of those limitations with this notice BEFORE any incident occurs.
If police ever come to your property to enforce power company policy (civil contract) IMMEDIATELY demand to see their court order (they will not have one) and then order them off your property.
If they don't leave call 911 and report criminal trespass by law ernforcement and your utility company personnel. If the police have a court order (extremely unlikely) read it carefully and make sure the terms are lawful and being fully observed by the police. Unless you have committed a crime or threatened someone that court order is probably unlawful and corrupt.
The Posted Notice file is for printing, laminating and attaching to your analog meter and your perimeter gate. We strongly recommend posting this notice. Office supply stores usually offer lamination services while you wait.
The Notice of Self Defense overlaps the notices above. You may want to use this if you run into pig-headed utility company employees or law enforcement who are unable to understand why you are refusing the harmful metering. Like the notices above, this notice provided legal foundations for actions against the violators later.
