A reassigned Catholic priest on a crusade of sexual moralizing, who was found to have child pornography on his computer when police searched his home on the day before he hung himself; an exhuberant, ultra-conservative preacher who embarrassed half of his traditionalist congregation with overly-evangelical praise and enthusiasm when consecrating the host, leading to a parish divide between the "holy-rolling" "kneelers" and the more restrained, community-pillar "standers"; one such community-pillar "stander" killed in his funeral home business after discovering the manic priest's sexual sins; an allegedly closeted gay man obsessed with the mortal sin of masturbation, defended even now by the rabidly-homophobic brutes of the "macho right." The Minnesota-based City Pages' report on the life and death of Father Ryan Erickson — unfortunately, but inevitably titled, "The Sins of the Father" — has all the makings of pulp drama, and not a little moralizing of its own: this is a story of bad religion, hypocritical religion, and not least, tacky religion. It's a bed-time story not so much for secularists, but for "reasonable people," who identify with the conservative, minimalist beliefs of the funeral director-victim, and know the real villain in the story isn't Father Erickson, but the hand-waving, tongue-talking excess that characterized him and his band of "born-again" Catholic followers. Even as such a genre-story though, and an obviously slanted one at that, the article, by Bruce Rubenstein, does offer a window into the larger questions and alliances and compromises involving religion and society, shown here in the microcosm of one Catholic parish, where in the words of one of the priest's supporters, the fight came down to "10 percent with us, 10 percent opposed, and the rest pretty uninvolved." Or in Rubenstein's summary, the chasm between people who saw a howling madman, and those who saw the holy passion of a man of God. –Joyce

I guess since I was a teen in the late 80s/early 90s, bomber jackets just seem like such a dated, poor choice in fashion. Unless you're a pilot.
I think the bomber jackets are fabulous...they are back from the '80s ladies!!! Thanks for the great choices, as always Outblush!
That is so cute! They would look really cute on these oxford pumps I just bought, like on the side. Thanks outblush team...you always post the best stuff!
You inspired me to start my own "curvy" fashion blog :)
I have #5, and it is the softest buttery, slightly crinkled, leather!
The arms are JUST the right length, which says something, for me. (I'm 5'9", long arms, jackets and coats are SO hard to find that aren't halfway up my wrist.)
I will say that the front pocket does give a little pooch in front of your stomach, simply because it's cut a touch more generous there to accommodate said pockets.

Emily Maynard and Tyler Johnson are now a married couple. News came out on Saturday night that the two were married but there was not a lot of information about the big day. On Saturday, Wet Paint shared a few big details about the wedding. This star of "The Bachelorette" found love with Jef Holm but it didn't work out and now she is married to Tyler.
The wedding happened at Tyler's family farm which is located in Sharon, South Carolina. Very many pictures are not out of Emily yet but she wore a pale pink Modern Trousseau gown with cowboy boots. People did get one picture of her from the side and you can see how gorgeous her dress is and that she looked amazing. The wedding happened under a big oak tree and they had lanterns lined up where she walked down the aisle. The cake was huge and of course pink which doesn't surprise fans at all knowing Emily. It had flowers on top of it.
Tyler was wearing a tux, but he wore it without a tie with the top buttons unbuttoned. He has nice shoes on but is not wearing socks while watching his new bride walk down the aisle. They had a country band for the reception. Tyler did share his first dance with Emily but next he danced with Ricki. They had a great meal of fried chicken, shrimp, scalloped potatoes and pulled pork. It sounds amazing and like a great event.
Instead of picking someone older to stand by her side Emily had her daughter Ricki as her maid of honor. These two are very close and she has already shared that Ricki does like Tyler and was excited about the wedding. Another big thing about the wedding is that Tyler didn't even tell Emily where the honeymoon would be just to pack for a beach.

From March 30 to April 3, Denver will host the NCAA Women's Final Four for the first time. Along with the games, kids clinics, Tourney Town, and the Mile High Dribble, the event will also feature the 4Kay Run on Saturday, March 31, at 9:00 a.m.
Now in it's fifth year, the 4Kay Run is held in honor of Kay Yow, the late North Carolina State University head women's basketball coach. Over her 38-year career, Coach Yow scored 700 victories, a feat only five other Division I head women's basketball coaches have achieved.
Yow was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1987, but still went on to lead the U.S. women's basketball team to an Olympic gold medal in 1988. She continued coaching until losing her long battle with breast cancer in 2009.
"Five years ago, those of us here at the NCAA wanted to pay tribute to Coach Yow's career and the impact she had on women's basketball," said Michelle Perry, the NCAA Director of Women's Basketball.
They came up with the idea to host the 4Kay Run, with all proceeds going to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Starting at Civic Center Park, the 4Kay Run course offers a short tour of downtown Denver, including Confluence Park, the Cherry Creek bike path and Sculpture Park.
"The Local Organizing Committee has set up a great route, so it makes a unique way for out-of-town fans to see the city as they get ready for Women's Final Four action," said Perry.
Registration is available online for $20, or for $25 at the event. The first 1,500 participants will also receive a 4Kay Run T-shirt donated by Nike.
Check here for more information or to register for the 4Kay Run Hydrated by Powerade Zero.

McLam, Minutemen Rally Past Hartford, 8-7
March 13, 2012
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. - Sophomore Rob McLam's two-run single in the top of the eighth helped lift the UMass baseball team to its first victory of 2012 as the Minutemen claimed a 8-7 win over Hartford on Tuesday afternoon at Fiondella Field. Following the victory, UMass is now 1-3 on the year, while the Hawks fall to 1-11.
McLam finished the day 3-for-3 with two stolen bases and three RBI to pace the Minutemen, while redshirt freshman Adam Picard hit his first career home run, driving in two. Redshirt sophomore Ryan Cusick stole three bases for a second straight game and batted 2-for-3 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored. Junior Rich Graef (2-for-5) scored twice and classmate Anthony Serino drove in a pair.
Cusick began the afternoon for UMass by drawing a four-pitch walk, stole second, moved to third on a sacrifice and scored on an RBI groundout by Serino to give the Minutemen a 1-0 lead.
Then in the bottom half of the first, Hartford climbed on top, 3-1. A pair of singles by Trey Stover and James Alfonso set up a two-run double to left center off the bat of Andy Drexel. Brian Hunter then traded places with Drexel on a double to left.
Cusick brought UMass back to within a run of the Hawks in the top of the third as he swiped two bags after reaching with a single and once again scored on a ground ball off the bat of Serino.
The Hawks pushed the margin back to two, though, in their next trip to the plate. Drexel drew a leadoff walk and later crossed the plate on a single through the right side by Simon Kudernatsch.
UMass then pulled in front with one swing of the bat in the fourth. After senior Tom Conley was hit by a pitch, Picard lofted a two-run homer to left to bring the score to 5-4.
In the bottom of the fifth, Hartford pulled level with the Minutemen after capitalizing on a pair of UMass miscues. Kudernatsch reached on an error and later scored on an error.
The Minutemen regained their one-run lead in the top of the sixth. Sophomore Nick Sanford walked and scored from third on a sacrifice fly by Cusick after moving up on two wild pitches.
Then with two away in the bottom of the seventh, Hartford pulled in front, 7-6. Hunter drew a leadoff walk and crossed the plate on an RBI triple by Brady Sheetz. Ryan Lukach followed with a single up the middle to send in the go-ahead run.
The lead was brief, though, as UMass answered with a pair in the top of the eighth. Graef knocked a one-out single up the middle and Cusick doubled to left. McLam then drove in the pair with a two-run single.
That was all the Minutemen needed to secure the win as senior Leif Sorenson closed out the game with two scoreless innings and struck out two to log his first save of the season. Junior Ron Wallace recorded one out in the seventh and picked up the victory (1-0).
Freddy Andujar took the loss (0-1) for Hartford after allowing one run on two hits with one walk and one strikeout in 1.2 innings on the hill.
Alfonso paced the Hawks with a 3-for-5 afternoon at the plate and scored once. Stover went 2-for-5 with a run scored and Drexel registered two RBI and scored twice.
UMass will be back in action on Saturday, Mar. 17, playing the first of a three-game series at Old Dominion beginning

Sunday Results | SEC Final Scores
The University of Alabama's young track and field team took a major step forward as a program as the men's and women's squads combined for 25 personal-best performances, including 10 performances that rank among the 10 best in Alabama history for their respective events, on the way to a pair of top-10 team finishes at the 2013 Southeastern Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Randall Tyson Track.
One day after 16 Alabama athletes competing set new personal bests, nine more PR outings were posted on Sunday, a major step forward for a young team that features 28 freshmen on the men's roster and 23 female athletes in their first year competing for the Crimson Tide. The Crimson Tide men's team scored 40 points to place seventh in the team standings while the Alabama women scored 25 points to finish 10th in the team race.
"We had an excellent meet," said head coach Dan Waters. "Our team gave us everything they had. At this point in the development of our program, with such a young team with many of our athletes in their first SEC meet, I take a lot of confidence from our performance based on the numerous PRs we had and the excellent competitiveness we showed. We have definitely set a foundation for the future and that is the biggest thing we can take from this meet."
Sunday's action for Alabama was highlighted by a second-place finish in the women's high jump by Krystle Schade who cleared 6 feet, ¼ inch (1.84 meters) and was edged by South Carolina's Jeannelle Scheper who posted a winning height of 6-1 ½ (1.87m). Schade remains among the national leaders in the event and figures to compete against Scheper for national honors again in two weeks at the same facility at the upcoming NCAA Indoor Championships.
Alabama enjoyed several surprisingly strong outings in other events that led to both teams exceeding pre-meet forecasts for total team points and final finish in the team standings. Chief among those was Jonathan Reid's huge PR in the men's triple jump and an almost equally large PR improvement by Robbie Farnham-Rose in the men's mile.
Reid's performance in the triple jump improved his PR by almost nine inches as he leaped 52-3 ¼ (15.93m) to place fifth in a world-class field of competitors. That mark ranks as the sixth-best triple jump in Alabama school history. Farnham-Rose, a freshman from the United Kingdom, shaved several seconds off his PR in the men's mile with a third-place finish in 4:02.34, a time that stands fifth on the UA all-time list. Another PR for the men's team came in the final of the 200-meter dash as sophomore Diondre Batson ran 20.81 to place fourth overall in a time that ranks Batson third on the all-time UA indoor list.
Other team points for the Crimson Tide came from sixth-place finishes by the men's distance medley relay team of Parker Deuel, Dushane Farrier, Robbie Farnham-Rose and Matt Airola in a time of 9:57.17, and a sixth-place finish by the 4x400-meter relay quartet of Joel Lynch, Dwight Davis, Ken Taylor and Diondre Batson in 3:09.72.
The women's team earned points from two finalists in the 800 meters as Yanique Malcolm was sixth in 2:06.87, a PR and the third-fastest time in UA history, and Kimberley Ficenec was eighth in a PR of 2:07.78, fifth on the all-time UA list. Alabama's distance medley relay of Meropi Panagiotou, Dacia Mays, Kimberley Ficenec and Susie Kemper was eighth in 11:32.52.
In the women's 5,000 meters, two Tide athletes achieved PRs despite finishing out of the scoring. Katelyn Greenleaf was 15th in 17:11.89 and Claire Turner was 23rd in 17:30.79.

Date: May 1999
Creator: Gray, Marlene E.
Description: This utilized identification theory to determine if faculty identify with the university and recognize its mission. The study also explored how faculty differentiate between a traditional university and a metropolitan research university. Finally, the study explored whether the faculty consider the University of North Texas to be a Metropolitan Research University. UNT full-time faculty members (N=224) completed questionnaires to indicate their identification with the university and their recognition of the university mission. Analysis showed that faculty have not come to a consensus on the definition of a MRU and that they do not identify with UNT.

Family Sex Talk: Analyzing the Influence of Family Communication Patterns on Parent and Late Adolescent's Sex Conversations
Date: August 2010
Creator: Allen, Evette L.
Description: Family communication has the potential to affect a variety of youth behavioral outcomes including adolescent sexual risk behavior. Within chapter 1, I present past literature on adolescent sexual risk behaviors, family communication patterns, and the gaps associated with those areas. In chapter 2, I review previous literature on adolescent sexual risk behavior, parent-child communication and family communication patterns. In chapter 3, I present the method which includes a description of the participants, procedures, measures, and data analysis used. In Chapter 4, I present the results of the study. According to the results of the study, father-child communication is not a better predictor of adolescent sexual risk behavior. A higher quantity of parent-child communication does not lead to less adolescent sexual risk behavior. Participants with a pluralistic family type do significantly differ from laissez-faire and protective family types in regards to levels of parent-child communication. Participants with a consensual family type do have significantly higher levels of parent-child communication in comparison to laissez-faire family types, but not protective family types. Finally, in chapter 5, I present the discussion with a review of previous research (consistent or inconsistent with the current findings), limitations and conclusions for the current study.

From Brecht to Butler: an Analysis of Dirty Grrrls
Date: August 2014
Creator: Lugo, Joanna
Description: "From Brecht to Butler: An Analysis of Dirty Grrrls" is a production centered thesis focusing on the image of the mudflap girl. The study examines the graduate production Dirty Grrrls as a form of praxis intersecting the mudflap girl, the theory of gender performativity, and Brechtian methodology. As a common yet unexplored symbol of hypersexual visual culture in U.S. American society, the mudflap girl acts as a relevant subject matter for both the performance and written portion of the study. Through the production, mudflap girl materializes at the meeting point of the terms performance and performativity. The written portion of this project examines this intersection and discusses the productive cultural work accomplished on the page and on the stage via live embodiment of performativity.

From "Living Hell" to "New Normal": Illuminating Self-Identity, Stigma Negotiation, and Mutual Support among Female Former Sex Workers
Date: May 2008
Creator: Mayer, Jennifer L.
Description: Women in the sex industry struggle with emotional turmoil, drug and alcohol addiction, poverty, and spiritual disillusionment. Their lived experiences as stigmatized individuals engender feelings of powerlessness, which inhibits their attempts to leave the sex industry. This study illuminates how personal narratives develop throughout the process of shedding stigmatized identities and how mutual support functions as a tool in life transformation. Social identity theory and feminist standpoint theory are used as theoretical frameworks of this research, with each theory adding nuanced understanding to life transformations of female former sex workers. Results indicate that women in the sex industry share common narratives that reveal experiences of a "Living Hell", transitional language, and ultimate alignment with traditional norms. Implications of SIT and FST reveal the role of feminist organizations as possible patriarchal entities and adherence to stereotypical masculine ideology as an anchoring factor in continued sex work.

The glocalization and acculturation of HIV/AIDS: The role of communication in the control and prevention of the epidemic in Uganda.
Date: December 2005
Creator: Muwanguzi, Samuel
Description: Grounded in the social constructivism tradition, this study examined the role of communication in the glocalization and acculturation of HIV/AIDS by a section of sexually active Ugandans then living in Rakai district during the advent of the epidemic in 1982. Sixty-four women and men participated in ten focus group discussions in Rakai and Kampala districts. Five themes emerged from the data highlighting how individuals and communities made sense of the epidemic, the omnipresence of death, how they understood the HIV/AIDS campaign, and how they are currently coping with its backlash. The study concludes that HIV/AIDS is socially constructed and can be understood better from local perspectives rather than from a globalized view. The study emphasizes the integration of cultural idiosyncrasies in any health communication campaigns to realize behavioral change.

Grounds-Based and Grounds-Free Voluntarily Child Free Couples: Privacy Management and Reactions of Social Network Members
Date: May 2009
Creator: Regehr, Kelly A.
Description: Voluntarily child free (VCF) individuals face stigmatization in a pronatalist society that labels those who do not want children as deviant. Because of this stigmatization, VCF couples face privacy issues as they choose to reveal or conceal their family planning decision and face a variety of reactions from social network members. Therefore, communication privacy management and communication accommodation theory was use to examine this phenomenon. Prior research found two different types of VCF couples: grounds-based and grounds-free. Grounds-based individuals cite medical or biological reasons for not having children, while grounds-free individuals cite social reasons for not having children. The purpose of this study is to examine how grounds-based and grounds-free VCF couples manage their disclosure of private information and how social network members react to their family planning decision. Findings revealed that grounds-free individuals are more likely to engage in the self-defense hypothesis and grounds-based individuals are more likely to engage in the expressive need hypothesis. Grounds-based individuals were asked about their decision in dyadic situations, whereas grounds-free individuals were asked at group gatherings. Additionally, social network members used under-accommodation strategies the most frequently and grounds-free individuals experienced more name calling than grounds-based. Finally, while grounds-free individuals experienced non-accommodation and ...

"He's a Human, You're a Mermaid": Narrative Performance in Disney's The Little Mermaid
Date: May 2010
Creator: Polanco, Raquel
Description: Disney animation represents a powerful source of economic and cultural production. However, following the death of Walt Disney, the animation division found itself struggling to survive. It was not until the 1989 release of the hugely successful animated film The Little Mermaid that Disney would reclaim its domination among children's cultural producers. Additionally, The Little Mermaid inaugurated a shift in Disney's portrayals of gender as the company replaced the docile passive princess characteristic of its previous animated films with a physically active and strong willed ambitious heroine. Grounded in an understanding of Disney's cultural significance as dominant storyteller, the present study explores gender in The Little Mermaid by means of narrative performativity. Specifically, I analyze the film's songs "Part of Your World," "Under the Sea," and "Poor Unfortunate Souls" as metonymic narrative performances of gender that are (1) embodied, (2) materially situated, (3) discursively embedded and (4) capable of legitimating and critiquing existing power relations.

Homeless Abjection and the Uncanny "Place" of the National Imagination

Creator: Sloss, Eric J.
Description: This project examines the effects of the homeless body and the threat of homelessness on constructing a national imaginary that relies on the trope of locatability for recognition as a citizen-subject. The thesis argues that homelessness, the oft-figured specter of public space, functions as bodies that are "pushed out" as citizen-subjects due to their inability maintain both discursive and material location. I argue that figures of "home" rely on the ever-present threat of dislocation to maintain a privileged position as the location of the consuming citizen-subject. That is, the presence of the dislocated homeless body haunts the discursive and material construction of home and its inhabitants. Homeless then becomes the uncanny inverse of home, functioning as an abjection that reifies home "place" as an arbiter of recognition in a neoliberal national imaginary. The chapters proceed to examine what some consider homeless "homes," focusing on the reduction of the homeless condition to a place of inhabitance, or the lack thereof. This attempt to locate the homeless body becomes a symptom of the desire for recognition as a placed body. The thesis ends on a note of political possibility, figuring the uncanny as a rupture that evacuates language of signification and opens ...

Ideographs, Fragments, and Strategic Absences: An Ideographic Analysis of <Collateral Damage>
Date: December 2008
Creator: Rhidenour, Kayla
Description: This study examined the ideograph of <collateral damage> through an analysis of the Bush Administration's rhetoric as well as visual photographs of Iraqi civilian deaths. The project argues that the psycho-dynamic rhetoric of the Bush Administration during a time of visual censorship lead to the dehumanization of Iraqi civilian deaths during the War in Iraq. The method consisted of a textual analysis of the Bush Administration's rhetoric and continued with a content analysis of news media's photographs. The author argues that critics gain a deeper understanding of the disappearing dead phenomenon of Iraqi civilians by examining ideographic fragments of psycho-dynamic rhetoric.

In good communication and in bad: A study of premarital counseling and communication skills in newlywed couples.
Date: May 2009
Creator: Norvell, Karen
Description: This study examined the effects of premarital counseling on newlywed communication. It was predicted that individuals who had participated in premarital counseling would have lower levels of demand/withdrawal communication and higher levels of spousal support. The effects of the format of the counseling were also examined. Individuals who had been married less than two years completed a survey measuring their marital satisfaction, levels of demand/withdraw, and perceived spousal support. Social learning theory was used as a theoretical lens. Results suggested that participating in premarital counseling has no affect on newlywed communication. Newlyweds who had been exposed to a group format during their counseling had higher marital satisfaction than those who had just participated in a one-on-one format with a counselor.

I do not think I ever posted way back when I first came and registered here. I fell away from online gaming for a bit, and have recently come back to check out a few games so I thought I would visit here again.
I am 33, with 34 coming in a month. The AUP & FAQ and the Guidelines have been read and nothing surprised me...so, it should not be hard at all to stay within the bounds of the local lawman.
I am in Eastern Daylight Time at the moment, and in the winter will fall back to Eastern Standard Time. (I put the notation in my profile and in my signature with links for help with conversion to other zones. I love that site for this by the way. Whenever I schedule online meetings with folks I link to that site to allow for easy conversion.)
I am a casual gamer, mostly weekends and some weeknights...especially during the colder weather. Once it gets warm I try to regain my youth by running about...preferably throwing and hitting softballs... Throughout the year I tend to be an early riser...so sometimes (not all the time mind you) I find myself getting my weekend time in at 7am on a Saturday.
In any event, I have some interest in Rappelz. (I touched it a bit under Epic III but without a core of people to group with the adolescent yapping was maddening.) I also have some interest in Shadowbane. I just downloaded this one to check it out as it seems interesting, but highly dependent on a guild. (Fantasy settings are a love of mine...I grew up playing D&D. But, I do check out other settings from time to time.)
I saw a post concerning Rappelz. If any TOG guild in Rappelz, Shadowbane, or similar game (I surely have not looked at them all) are interested in assimilating me, please feel free to let me know.

I had my one and only trip to Schlitterbahn this season. Here are a few observations:
– 90 percent of the tattoos on display are not recognizable. That's not a shot at people who have tattoos, but I'm just telling you folks that most of us can't tell your butterfly, from a sunflower, or from any other random piece of art. By the way, flames on your leg or tribal tattoos on your arm rarely look as cool as you think. That's not my opinion. I think the world pretty much agrees on that.
– Don't ever worry about how you look in a swimsuit. I don't think this is an exaggeration. 98 percent of people DON'T look great in a swimsuit (that number may be higher if you take out all people ages 18 to 25). What are you worried about? Let it all hang out, and have a good time!
– Speaking of letting things hang out, props to the grandma wearing a strapless swimsuit today. She was carrying her toddler grandchild, when the tyke grabbed hold of her top and pulled it completely down. Yes, they were both on full display. Once my brain registered what I was looking at, I was a gentleman and turned away. I think grandma handled it about as gracefully as possible, and never dropped the kid. That's talent!
– Schlitterbahn proves every year that people are by and large honest. Stuff is left unattended everywhere, and typically it's left alone. I know, I know, that's not always the case, but the track record there is pretty good. Get a locker if you're really worried.

CCS Noon Lecture Series. "China's Contemporary Dance Scene"
China's contemporary dance scene is one of the most dynamic and diverse in the world. Boasting styles as varied as military dances, historical costume dramas, minority dance productions, and modern experimental works, "concert dance" in China is a wide category that must itself be interrogated to begin to gain any understanding of dance in China in the 21st century. In this talk, I introduce major dance works presented in Beijing during the summer of 2013, together with the broader category each work represents, to provide an outline of the basic genres and institutions that currently constitute China's contemporary dance scene.

Fire & ICE Ball
NorthRiver Yacht Club was transformed into a stunning "Fire and Ice" themed winter wonderland for the DCH Foundation Board's 34th annual Lucy Jordan Ball. Guests wearing black tie and ball gowns entered through a glowing forest of illuminated white tree branches while snow fell gently from above. Chaired by Mrs. Wayne Hocutt, Mrs. Alex Lushington Jr. and Mrs. John Poole this year's ball was in honor of Mr. Sam Phelps. Mr. Phelps chaired the Healthcare Authority Board from 1976 - 2000 and was a DCH Foundation Fellow.
The scene, designed by Mrs. Erwin Raughley with co-chairmen Mrs. Courtney Crowder and Mrs. Claude Edwards, was set with white flowers, icy silver accents and flickering candles to set an elegant and contemporary scene. A flocked Christmas tree was decorated in white and silver roses to the ceiling that illuminated the white and silver tables.
The mood was festive as guests mingled on the tented deck for cocktails before dinner. There was entertainment by Nathan Holloway, Susan Goode and Dayvin Sterling. After dinner, the party moved to the dance floor where they dance to the high energy music of Band X.
The Ball raised approximately $50,000 with proceeds helping to fund fetal monitoring devices and infant warmer for DCH Regional Medical Center and Northport Medical Center. Prizes were donated by Hudson-Poole, Black Belt Antiques, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hahn, The Westervelt Company, Spa Belle la Vie and Russell S. Lee Flooring America. Table favors were beautifully wrapped candles donated by Fincher and Ozment Jewelers.

College Hockey:Mavericks Top Tigers
Tyler Thompson's First Career Goal Difference in Upset
MANKATO, Minn. — Tyler Thompson picked a pretty good time for his first career goal at Minnesota State.
With the No. 11 Mavericks and third ranked Colorado College deadlocked at one Friday night at the Alltel Center, Thompson got the puck in the slot after it bounced off a few sticks and shot it past CC goaltender Richard Bachman.
Bachman partially stopped the puck, but after hitting the post the puck bounced off Bachmans skate and in, giving the Mavericks a 2-1 Western Collegiate Hockey Association victory over the Tigers.
It hit the post and bounced off his skate and I couldnt tell if it went in until I saw the goal judge, Thompson said. Adrenaline started going from there, it felt good.
Thompson, a freshman, scored his first collegiate goal against an old friend, as he and Bachman were teammates two years ago in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, of the United States Hockey League.
Hes a tough, tough goalie to score on, Thompson said. I give everything to him, hes a great goalie and I have nothing but respect for him.
MSU had to score two unanswered goals to give CC its first road loss of the season, as Chad Rau put the Tigers up one just minutes into the first period.
After Jerad Stewart went to the penalty box in the opening minute of the game on a hooking penalty, MSU netminder Mike Zacharias gave up a long rebound off a Brian Connelly blast from the right circle. Rau took the puck at the left dot and beat Zacharias over his stick-side shoulder to give the Tigers the early lead at 2:27.
It was a one-timer and got to my toe and I kind of put it right to their guy, Zacharias said. One of those bam-bam plays.
MSU answered midway through the second when Trevor Bruess took the puck along the left boards, circled behind the net and tried to stuff a backhanded shot past Bachman. The puck eventually hit off Geoff Irwins stick, where Mick Berge finished the play in front of the net.
Bachman kept the game close in the last couple periods, stopping 27 shots in the second and third period combined, with many saves robbing MSU after good looks.
Stewart led the Mavericks with seven shots on goal and had a few good chances in the final period, but Bachman turned them all away.
That might have been the best game Jerads had here, said MSU head coach Troy Jutting. I thought he played very well tonight.
The Mavericks finally got to Bachman again when Gabe Guentzel went to the box on a slashing call, giving the Mavericks their ninth power play of the game, leading to Thompsons goal on last seasons WCHA Player of the Year.
Though he wasnt tested as much as Bachman was throughout the game — and didnt make near as many spectacular saves — Zacharias made 25 saves and picked up his fifth win of the season.
CC went 1 for 7 on the power play while MSU went 1 for 9 against the best penalty-killing team in the conference.
On the road you sometimes have to generate some five-on-five goals and some hard-work goals and were just not doing that, CC head coach Scott Owens said. Zacharias played well but I dont even think we tested him that much.
Added Jutting of Zacharias: I like my guy, hes played 40 in a row and theres a reason for that.
The Mavericks (5-2-2, 3-2-2 WCHA) and Tigers (6-2-3, 4-2-1) play game two of the series at 7:07 p.m. Saturday at the Alltel Center.

When I was in high school, I grew out my hair for my senior year. I wanted a lovely up-do at prom like all the other girls. Not long after graduation, I chopped my locks again and never looked back. My hair is fine and wouldn't hold a curl if the fate of the entire world depended on it. When my husband proposed to me, I had an adorable, angled bob, and even though I had two years to grow out my hair, the thought never occurred to me. When it was time to start looking into hair styles for the big day, I decided to stick to my spunky short hair. It had become a Prentice trademark.
Short hair may seem like a problem for a bridal look, but in reality, it is super simple (and less expensive than hitting the salon for an intricate 'do or extensions). I over-thought what to do with my hair. Since my short style is an important part of my image, I played with what it naturally does and how I typically like for it to look. Here are a few tips to making long-lasting impressions with short tresses:
Play Up Accessories
There are so many beautiful pieces that brides can wear in their hair, like tiaras, combs, clips, pearls, flowers and feathers. Rather than try to figure out how to make your pixie cut defy physics and look like an up-do from a magazine, get the formal, glamour you desire by adding an accessory to your hair. Veils also look lovely with short hair.
Play Up Makeup
Face-framing haircuts, like many short styles, make the perfect canvas for stunning makeup. Have fun with your makeup and experiment. Here is a bridal makeup video and a couple other bridal looks to try! Bold eyes and lips will look stunning with your face front and center.
Don't Grow Too Little Too Late
If you really can't stand the idea of keeping your short hair for your big day, that's fine. Just start growing as soon as possible. Remember, hair only grows about half an inch per month, so procrastinating until weeks before your wedding will only result in your current short hairstyle looking overgrown and messy.

Says Rachel: "I just don't know much about perfume and I'm really at a loss. I think I've become allergic to synthetic fragrances. I didn't wear perfume for a year while I was nursing my son, and now whenever I try to wear one of my old favorites or try a new scent at the mall, I get a big headache and can't wait to take a shower and get it off of me. So, I guess I'm looking for a fragrance that uses natural scents. I'm not that into heavy florals, although I do like more herbal florals like lavender. I'd like something that smells fresh, clean, maybe a little green or citrusy, and nothing too sugary. A hint of musk would be OK. Perfumes I have enjoyed in the past have been Gap Heaven (in High School) Emporio Armani White, Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, and Nanette Lepore Lovebird, although those all make me feel sick now. I'm willing to spend up to $100."
Hi, Rachel, it's Marian. The first thing I feel I should say is that if you think you've really developed an allergy, the best thing you could do would be to make an appointment with an allergist. I'm not a chemist or a medical professional, and I certainly don't want to make you sick. If I had to guess, though, your sensitivity has more to do with being a new mom (you'd be far from the first to report being unable to enjoy old favorite scents, thanks to an enhanced-not-always-in-a-fun-way sense of smell) and with your avoidance of fragrance for the past year. And I'm leery of steering you towards naturals, because they're chemically MORE complex than synthetics, not less, meaning you'd have a much bigger ingredient list to to have potential problems with. And for that matter, natural musk is animal-derived and is no longer in use, so anything that contains musky (or "white musk" soapy/clean) notes is going to contain synthetics. It just is. So if we stick with the original goal of Stuff That Will Not Give You A Headache, here are a few things I'd try. They're all in relatively wide distribution, so you should be able to give them a whiff at a store in your area rather than ordering and hoping for the best.
One option that IS all-natural is 1) Demeter Naturals Lavender ($29 for 1.7 ounces). It's just what it sounds like: a naturally-derived lavender-and-that's-it-fragrance. It might not be conspicuously "fresh", since that's another olfactory facet that's usually generated by synthetic compounds, but lavender by itself is a clean scent and one that you've said you enjoy. Gentle, if not 100% natural, options like 2) philosophy's eternal grace ($40 for 2 ounces, containing citrus, musk, and lavender notes) and 3) Malibu Lemon Blossom from Pacifica ($22 for 1 ounce) could be good too.
Since you liked Heaven (me too), and that's mostly jasmine, I thought you might also want to try another take on the flower. While Heaven is sort of a neon/cartoon/Care Bear jasmine with a slight blueberry edge, the old (pink packaging) 4) Fleurs d'Orlane ($21 for 3.4 ounces) is a much more shadowy, greener, jasmine bouquet - but still without the jasmine mankiness that could send you running for the hills. And lastly, if you were sitting in my house, I'd pull out my bottle of 5) Escada ($64 for 2.5 ounces) to see if you liked it. It's a pretty and very well-behaved mixed white floral with touches of orange and cucumber, and it's not terribly strong. (Which can bug me when I want to wear it and it's cool out, but it might be perfect for your needs.) And if you hear "Escada" and think "fruit bomb", don't worry. Not this one.
And if none of these work, let me know. I'm determined to help!
Thanks so very much, Marian! I can't wait to try these.
Just an idea, it might be the perfumer's alcohol in the scents that is giving you a headache. I know it gives me a one! I've gotten really into perfume oils, which you apply directly to the skin so there's no alcohol spray to breathe in. Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab is my favorite, CB I Hate Perfume is another wonderful line!
Excellent response, Marian! Clear, informative and (a plus) well written - like most everything here on OB!
I second Black Phoenix and also (I have the same issues with perfume after having a hysterectomy of all things!) but love 4711 - which doesn't 'turn' on me or give me a headache like so many others (ah Chloe how I miss you).
My favorite oil is Ambre Oil (www.ambreblends.com.) All three scents are great, my fav is the original Ambre Essence. I get tons of compliments and love that it's made in Indiana!

Starpulse announced today, October 31, that rockers Crystal Castles have a beef with pop star Katy Perry.
The duo has stated the pop star is "evil" and she "sells sex' to children. The pair are not fond of her concert routines, tour merchandise, and have said nasty things about the whip cream shooting bra.
Alice Glass, singer, tells NME magazine, "I think a lot of (pop stars) sell sex to children. I think a lot of kids are more sexualized now than they were years ago and I'm not sure it's a coincidence. Like f**king Katy Perry spraying people with her f**king d**k, her f**king c** gun c**ming on f**king children. And little girls, like six-year-old girls wearing a shirt with 'I wanna see your (pea) cock' on it."
She adds, "It's f**king evil. Don't prey on vulnerable people like that. Don't encourage little girls to get dressed up, to have cupcakes on their t**s to get people to lick them off, 'cos that's what you're insinuating."
Ethan Kath, keyboard player and producer tells NME magazine, "On the merch (merchandise) for that (Perry) song Peacock, the 'Pea' is on a different line so you don't see it. She sells it to f**king children."
It's obvious Glass never watched an entire Katy Perry show or listened to the whole album because if she did, she might understand that these things aren't meant to be sexual in nature. If anything, Katy stands up for those who are "different" and teaches them to embrace it. Perhaps Glass could take a page or two from her book instead of seeking out attention.

Whenever I write scriptural reflections, I begin by praying to God I might receive the word God wishes to impart—to me and to all who read my work. That is not usually the case with my newspaper columns. Typically, an idea or word or phrase or sentence pops into my mind and away I go. With God's good grace, I rarely come up empty, but it does happen. It happened the week I began this column.
CALABASH—Randy Bork, chief of Piney Grove Fire and Rescue Department in Kernersville in Forsyth County, has been hired as new chief of the Calabash Volunteer Fire Department.
Bork's hiring was to be officially approved at a fire department board meeting Tuesday night.
Bork, 55, replaces former fire chief Carl Naecker, who resigned July 24 after nearly a year on the job.
The goal of athletes and teams is to win, not to finish second. But that all-or-nothing goal can diminish accomplishments that deserve to be recognized.
Leland's Dixie Youth Baseball Majors teams (12-year-olds) finished second last week in the World Series in Laurel, Miss.
Leland, representing North Carolina in the 11-state tournament, dominated the tournament for all but one inning. South Carolina scored 10 runs in the final inning of the championship game Aug. 13 to beat Leland 12-9 and win the World Series.
LELAND—The Summer National Senior Games took place Aug. 1-15 in the San Francisco area, and Leland resident Amelia Josey Smith was one of the qualifiers.
For Josey, as everyone calls her, this is the fourth time she has qualified for the nationals. Because the coast-to-coast trip was too expensive for her, Josey was unable to travel to the games. But if she had competed, she would have been one of the oldest competitors: Josey is 93.
The West Brunswick and South Brunswick football teams tuned up for the football season with scrimmages last week.
West scrimmaged Hoggard and Wallace-Rose Hill Aug. 13 at home and scrimmaged Jacksonville Aug. 14 in the BB&T Jamboree, winning 17-3.
In the scrimmages Aug. 13, Tyquan Ash caught a touchdown pass from quarterback Quan Bates. Markel Jones intercepted a pass.
The West Brunswick volleyball team opened its 2009 season by beating Topsail 25-8, 23-25, 25-19, 26-24 Monday at West.
Every starter contributed to the nonconference victory, led by Kenzie McDuffie's 28 assists and eight digs. She also had eight points. Carly White had 18 kills and nine blocks. Sheena Suttlemyre scored 12 points and four digs. Mattie Tippett scored 15 points and had five aces. Breana Gause had five kills and four blocks. Miriah Milliken had seven points and four digs. Keri Nolan had 10 kills.
Shallotte Police investigated the following incidents during the past week.
•Drunk and disruptive, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest at the National Guard Armory on Main Street; a fight broke out inside the armory, and two detectives working there on a contracted job told the parties to leave.
Another fight broke out, and working officers were called for backup. They arrived, and the party was shut down.
•ABC violation at the National Guard Armory; suspect had a party with alcohol without a permit.
The Aggressive Criminal Enforcement (ACE) Team is a support unit, whose primary functions are traffic enforcement and assisting in the apprehension of drug traffickers in the county. The ACE team conducts driving while impaired and driver's license checkpoints, as well as street-level investigations on controlled substances.
The ACE team works with the sheriff's office K-9 Enforcement Team and Drug Enforcement Unit to apprehend narcotics suspects as well as saturating hot spots where criminal activity is reported.
Brunswick County Sheriff's deputies investigated the following incidents last week, which are taken directly from sheriff's office incident reports:
•Larceny on Ash-Little River Road in Ash; suspect stole victim's utility vehicle.

•Breaking and entering and property damage on Pigott Avenue in Ocean Isle Beach; suspect broke victim's car window.
•Larceny on Kingtown Road in Ash; suspect stole victim's four-wheeler.
Agents with the Brunswick County Sheriff's Office Drug Enforcement Unit made the following arrests last week. The suspects and their charges, which are taken directly from arrest reports and citations, are:

James McMurtry On Mountain Stage
James McMurtry in Concert on Mountain Stage - 03/31/2009
Set List
- "Bayou Tortous"
- "Hurricane Party"
- "Ruby and Carlos"
- "Childish Things"
Though he was making his eighth appearance on Mountain Stage since 1989, James McMurtry still wasn't used to the audience's quiet awareness. "We're not used to this silence thing," he says after performing "Bayou Tortous," noticing the crowd's rapt attention.
Performing songs from his self-produced ninth record, the gritty Just Us Kids, McMurtry was in top observational form. His lyrics ruminate on wartime America, poverty, post-hurricane life and relationships deteriorated by conflicting aspirations. He closes with the title track to his highly acclaimed Childish Things, which spawned his buzz-building track "We Can't Make It Here Anymore."
McMurtry plays electric and acoustic guitar, and is joined by Ronnie Johnson on bass, Daren Hess on drums and Tim Holt on guitar. As he mentions at the end of his set, McMurtry and company play most Wednesday nights at the Continental Club in Austin, Texas.
This feature originally ran Mar. 31, 2009.

On Wednesday Archbishop Silvano Tomasi responded to the U.N. report, which essentially reprimanded the Catholic Church for the irresponsible handling of priests accused of child sexual abuse according to Vatican News.
The U.N. Committee on the Rights of the Child, which held a hearing in Geneva last month, issued its findings on Wednesday. The panel suggested the Vatican is more concerned with preventing a scandal than protecting the innocent as reported via The New York Times.
The Holy See has not acknowledged the extent of the crimes committed, has not taken the necessary measures to address cases of child sexual abuse and to protect children, and has adopted policies and practices, which have led to the continuation of the abuse by and the impunity of the perpetrators.
The U.N. panel took issue with the replacement of accused child abusers/priests, and the Vatican's argument that it is only accountable for following the Convention on the Rights of the Child within the vicinity of Rome. The group demanded the Catholic Church take a more authoritative role within the individual dioceses to protect the innocent and punish the abusers. The Vatican responded that they do not have the legal authority to prosecute child predators, which is the responsibility of local civil leadership.
The hearing marked the first incidence that the Vatican faced a public investigation from an international group. Also of criticism was the Holy See's handling of abortion and contraception, but the committee praised Pope Francis' "progressive" thinking.
Top Vatican officials attended the U.N. hearing on January 16, which included Archbishop Tomasi, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the United Nations in Geneva, who responded to the harsh criticism today on Vatican Radio.
The report in the concluding recommendations that the committee of the Convention on the Right of the Child that were released today point out a rather negative approach to what the Holy See has been doing and has already achieved in the area of the protection of children.
Archbishop Tomasi continued to defend the Catholic Church's process to protect children, which is an ongoing effort and addressed the U.N. report's criticism of Vatican accountability.
The effort made was to give an objective picture of the remedies undertaken of the new steps that still are in the making, like the commission announced by the Holy Father for the protection of minors, and without any comparison with other states we simply say we recognize there has been a small percentage of Church personnel that have committed abuses, and these are the steps taken to prevent that such abuses be made again.
Maybe not all the observations in the facts have been adequately taken into account in the conclusions, so that for example the principle that the Holy See is accountable directly for the Vatican City State, but not for other countries where local jurisdiction is the state's responsibility and should implement and punish whoever, including priests that may have abused children.
According to Archbishop Tomasi, the Holy See intends to "faithfully carry out all the elements of the Convention on the Rights of the Child" to protect minors from sexual abuse in the future.

May 30, 2013 | Vol. 117 -- No. 6
These days, it seems like "pleading the Fifth" is overused.
Last week, senior Internal Revenue Service official Lois Lerner exercised her Fifth Amendment right during Congressional hearings regarding the recent IRS scandal about the agency's targeting political groups for audits. But, being in a public position of power, should that come without consequences?
The Fifth Amendment was created to prevent witnesses from incriminating themselves while on the stand while answering questions. As we all know, lawyers are able to direct questions and guide discussions through clever wording,...

Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition for the Playstation 4 and Xbox One is available for $39.99 as the Gold Box Deal of the Day. In our review of the game, we said it was a worthy next-gen port from the original PS3, Xbox 360 and PC report but voiced concern over the full $59.99 sale price.

DYESS AIR FORCE BASE, Texas
-- More than 180 Airmen from Dyess' 39th Airlift Squadron deployed to Southwest Asia Sept. 3-8, marking the first purely C-130 J-model deployment for the squadron.
"Since 2010, the 317th Airlift Group has been transitioning our fleet and our aircrew from the C-130H to the newest version of the Herc, the C-130J Super Hercules. Earlier this year, we completed the conversion, becoming the largest J-model fleet in the Air Force," said Maj. Michael Contardo, 39th Airlift Squadron garrison commander. "For the first time, the 39th has deployed with all J-model aircraft, bringing with them increased mission capability and efficiency."
During the six-month deployment, Airmen will be operating in the U.S. Central Command's area of responsibility where they will support theater commanders' requirements with combat-delivery capability through tactical airland and airdrop operations as well as humanitarian efforts and aeromedical evacuation.
"The C-130 is always going to have a part in overseas contingency operations; now and long into the future, due to the versatility of the airframe. It is reliable; with a combination of the J and H models, the 317th AG has been able to continuously deploy, providing combat support for more than nine-and-a-half years. It's flexible; the C-130 can be configured for many different missions--air-land, airdrop, medical evacuation and reconnaissance, allowing one aircraft to do the mission of many," Contardo said. "The value of the C-130 has grown with the implementation of this more technologically-advanced model. And we have sent the best trained, hardworking and innovative Airmen in the Air Force to the AOR to ensure these assets are put to great use."
As in any armed service, deployments are a regular occurrence in the Air Force and while there are many who have multiple deployments under their belts, there are some that are facing their first.
"I'm looking forward to deploying," said 1st Lt. Tyler Comte, a C-130 pilot from the 39th AS. "Last year, I saw this deployment was coming up and I couldn't help but constantly check to see if my name was on the list to go."
Although deploying presents challenges and hardships for any servicemember, the camaraderie in the C-130 squadron help Airmen find a positive outlook.
"The only part of this deployment that I'm not looking forward to be being away during the holiday season, but I know I am surrounded by a great group of people in the C-130 community and I will receive great support from back home," Comte said.
For many of our Airmen, the opportunity to deploy and put to use their skills and talents is welcomed.
"I've been training for this opportunity for three years, I can finally employ the mission," Comte added.

Scenes from Halloween weekend in the Napa Valley
It's the final weekend before Halloween, so we had to take the little one out for a visit to the local pumpkin patch (even though he'll never remember it).
The fine folks at the Stanly Lane Marketplace (located at the corner of Highway 29 and Highway 121) always put together a very kid and family friendly atmosphere during this time of year. In addition to pumpkins of all shapes, colors and sizes to choose from, they've got a giant haystack, fresh, locally grown fruits and veggies, a bunch of pigs and more…Here are a couple photos we snapped during our visit:

We were never terribly big into prom but now that our
much younger sister is getting ready for her final big night in high school, it seems infinitely more important. We want to give her something to make it really special since we can't be there to celebrate with her. Vera Wang Princess Night ($65) is flirty and feminine, giving off the perfect amount of sensuality for a lady of her age. And with a gift like this, we're hoping she will look, smell and feel like the princess we know she is.

Chapter 9 - "The Midnight Duel" - In which Gryffindor and Slytherin have flying lessons together, Neville injures himself on his broom, and Harry and Draco fight it out on brooms over Neville's Remembrall, resulting in Harry being made Seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Later, Draco challenges Harry to a wizard's duel, but instead of dueling he tells Filch in hopes of Harry being caught and expelled. Harry and his friends evade Filch and after encountering Fluffy, the three-headed dog, are safely back in their dormitory.
The Start of Harry's First Year
Despite high expectations, [Harry] and his classmates are disappointed by a disappointing first [Defence Against the Dark Arts] class with [Professor Quirrell].
As his first week progresses [Harry] realizes he isn't really behind the other first years.
Sitting at breakfast Friday morning, [Harry] and [Ron] discuss [Snape] and [McGonagall], and [Harry] gets a note inviting him to visit [Hagrid] in the afternoon.
The first years descend to the [dungeons] for their first [Potions] class, in which [Snape] belittles [Harry] almost instantly and takes several [points] from him for irrelevant things.
[Harry] and [Ron] head down to visit [Hagrid], where they discuss [Snape]'s hatred of [Harry] and ask [Hagrid] about the break-in at [Gringotts].
Flying Lesson
The [Gryffindors] learn that they will be having flying lessons with the [Slytherins], and sit at breakfast discussing their nervousness. [Neville] also gets a package from home with a [Remembrall], which [Malfoy] briefly snatches from him.
The [Gryffindors] and [Slytherins] begin their first flying lesson, and just as they're beginning [Neville] falls and breaks his wrist, prompting [Madam Hooch] to take him off to the [hospital wing] with strict warnings to the others to stay off the [broomsticks].
With no teachers around, [Draco Malfoy] grabs [Neville]'s [Remembrall] and flies up in the air with it. [Harry] chases after, despite warnings from classmates - and when [Malfoy] throws it, makes a magnificent diving catch.
After spotting [Harry] flying after the [Remembrall], [Professor McGonagall] calls him down and leads him inside, stopping to ask [Professor Flitwick] if she could take [Oliver Wood] out of class as well.
