I have been fighting cancer since 2004. I am a happily married
woman, but since my illness alot of things have changed. My husband
is my caregiver and I know he has a lot on him, that is why he
asked my oldest daughter to move back home to help with the house
work and taking care of me. He works, but takes off every 4 weeks
to take me to Tulsa, OK for my chemotherapy. We were married in
2003, so we basically only had one year of a "normal"

I was watching Dr. Phil yesterday and this was one of the subjects. The husband had had several heart attacks and hadn't had sex with his wife until the day before the show with Dr. Phil. It was 3 years prior to that. The guest speaker explained that you can do other things to show affection like massage or something relaxing to both of you and then something might happen right away or take some time. Take your time and find something that you both find pleasure in. Take a shower together, go get massages at a massage school where it is cheap to get a massage. When you both get a massage it will help with the increase of the circulation. Drink lots of water stating a couple of days in advance since the massage will release toxins to be flushed out with the water. Find some time for the two of you to write down a list of what you think would be relaxing or what you liked to do to relax before you were sick and discuss what you want to try and when you have time to try each idea. Once a week, have some us time and go from there. I hope this helps.

Gosh you are all so blessed to have faithful husbands. Despite trying to meet his needs after treatment as best I could I just found out he has been unfaithful and when I spoke to him he actually tried to make it my fault.

I was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer in March. I have been married for 28 years and am 47 years old. After the surgery while we were waiting for the all clear we did things other than intercourse to satisfy both myself and my husband. Once I started chemotherapy and got into the cycles I found that my desire for sex went away to a large extent. I just initiate sex anyways sometimes and always enjoy it myself or just enjoy pleasing my husband without intercourse once I am started. It helps to remember how much he is helping me and helping raise our children 9, 13 and 18. It also helps that we now make sure we spend time talking with each other everyday. Something we did not do as well before because we were always busy. We also lay, walk, sit together on a regular basis and hold hands or cuddle. This closeness definitely makes sexual intimacy more appealing. We also make sure to hug and kiss when we are parting in the morning and coming together in the evening and we tell each other "I love you" several times a day. The other thing that helps me is that he comes into the bathroom before or after a shower or watches while I am changing clothes several times a week. This makes me feel desirable and good about myself. That has really helped me. I hope this all helps. I just finished my primary chemo Aug. 7 and am in remission for the time being. Goodluck.

I am the caregiver for my husband, who has stage IV lung cancer. He, a lifelong non-smoker, was diagnosed in Nov. 2006. Our 22nd anniversary is next Saturday, and we have one living child who is almost 15. We have not been intimate in quite some time. I struggle to remember how long it's actually been. He is not one for holding hands, I can't remember the last time he's really kissed me, and hugging is few and far between. Now, that's not to say that I haven't tried to do those things to him. They are just not recipricated. I know my husband loves me, but I have to admit that I don't feel loved. I have such an awesome support group around me by our church family and friends, but I feel very alone. Since Feb. of this year, he's had issues with retaining lots of fluid and we almost lost him then to heart issues. He hasn't been able to lay down beside me in a very long time, because he starts coughing and can't breathe very well and has to sit up and lean on a chair for long periods of time. When he does try to lay down, he's so wrapped up in all the blankets that I can't touch him. I find myself reaching out to try and at least touch his arm just so I can feel skin to skin, but most times it doesn't happen. He was recently in the hospital for the third time in as many weeks, and one night before bed I started rubbing his back. He didn't try to hug me back, to touch me in any way, nor did he say anything to me. I felt so rejected. Just a couple of days ago, we got him signed up with Hospice, as his Oncologist has told us there's nothing else they can do and he has weeks, maybe months, left to live. In the same day, I had to fill out the paperwork for the Funeral Home to have him cremated (his wish) in the future. I had to read the full description of what happens when someone is cremated before I signed the papers. I asked my husband for some help in filing out the papers, and he refused. I went to bed that night crying. That was the worst day, and I just felt so alone. I've tried to tell him what I need, but nothing happens. I feel rejected alot, and like my feelings don't matter. I also feel guilty for having these feelings, it feels very selfish. I love my husband dearly. My heart has been slowly tearing in half for quite some time. To have to watch the love of my life dying right before my eyes…I don't want him to die, but I don't want him to suffer anymore either. Sometimes, though, I have feelings of just wanting God to take him Home so that I can move on. I was told recently to let Hospice be his caregiver now, and for me to be his wife. I haven't been his wife in a very long time….

I have a slow growing ependymoma growing on my lower spine. 3
years ago I had surgery and I was in the hospital 3 weeks, but when
I got home there was such a sense of relief that we got real close
real fast, even though I was told not to lift more than a jug of
milk. Then came the radiation treatments, and associated hormone
problems, and my drive dwindled. My wife and I actually liked it at

My husband was diagnosed in 2004 with Hodgkins Lymphoma at the
age of 25, at the time we were not even 2 years into our marriage.
It took almost a full year of chemo and radiation for treatment.
Unfortunately the disease came back and he was re-diagnosed in
January of 09 as stage 4, the chemo was much worse this time and he
has undergone a stem cell transplant to fight the disease, he has
been on a ventilator, and his lungs are damaged to the point he has
50% capacity. He is only 30 years old.

Wow, all such awesome advice. Congrats GLPDallas! Well done and God Bless You and your family. I will check out your forum RichardA. Its great to see you are involved as a man. There are so many that are ashamed to even respond publicly when our loved ones have a terminal illness. Loved your blog Cami, it sounds like a book I read called "Help Meet". Prayers for your hubbie "youngwife" Keep that love in your heart and you will be okay. I fell the same way, my hubbie has been faithful and I am so very blessed to have him and our twins in my life. I pray to be with them for as long as God deems.

I will try to make a long story short. My husband and I are
childhood sweethearts from the 70's. At 17 I was diagnosed with
Hodgkins and had total nodal radiation. I went into medical
menopause and was never able to conceive. A year later we were
married. I found sex to be quite painful for 3 years when I was put
on hormone replacement therapy. Then married life was tolerable; I
still didn't have much interest in sex but it didn't hurt either.
However, remembering my teenage raging hormones, I knew sex could
be better. Those memories help me a lot.

I'm coming from the other side, as the well spouse. The lack of intimacy is a HUGE issue for couples facing a chronic illness. I'm so happy people are willing to discuss this. One great piece of advice my doctor gave me was to try for intimacy without actual intercourse. There are lots of different ways to help your spouse climax without actually having intercourse. Perhaps that will help you, too.

My husband and I were High School sweethearts, we have been married for 35 years. In the beginning of 2008, I had a non-cancerous ovarian mass removed which caused nerve damage. I no longer have feeling in my pelvic area, and intercourse is much to painful, I am to the point I can't be touched. This has been very difficult for both of us, I thank God for my very loving husband. I felt so alone, and like I was the one who was to blame for the end of our sex life. Communication is the most important thing, find out what the other needs and wants. There are many ways to be intimate. You have to find what works for you both. Plan time to be together when your feeling up to it, and don't let anything interfer with that time together.

Ok, thanks to all who post here. It helps so much to know I am not alone. Briefly, I had anal cancer treatment last fall and began to resume intimacy just before the holidays. I had to go slowly because the area was still healing from brutal radiation burns. Hubby seemed to be supportive and since I was having a hard time responding, seemed willing to let me set the pace and guide him. We even renewed our wedding vows at the beginning of this month. Then I learned that he was using hookers and had been doing so on and off throughout our 34 yrs of supposed marriage and even while I was preparing for the vow renewal. I cant seem to get the images out of my mind of the 20 something girls he has been with even in my own bed! I am in my mid 60's and dont want to divorce and have to start over but I am feeling so angry, hurt and betrayed. I am today feeling like just using him to give me release like he has been using me. I am a Christian and believe in keeping my vows. Since I found out he has been attending church with me and started a 12 step sex addiction group. We both also signed up for 4 day intensive addiction/co addiction treatment. I am now demanding faithfulness and his persuing purity as the bottom line in my continuing to be with him. I have some hope in that for the present he has agreed, however I am in a most vulnerable place and am scared and feeling very alone. I am not a bad looking woman and can still arouse his interest but how do I compete with these perfect bodies of his 20 yr old whores?

Wardenburg Highlights Breast Cancer Awareness Month
By Allison Sylvest
October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, dedicated to educating women about the importance of early detection. It also is a time to recognize the survivors of breast cancer as well as those who have been lost to the disease.
CU-Boulder's Wardenburg Health Center is sponsoring a breast cancer information table today, Tuesday, Oct. 12, 4:30-7 p.m. at the Recreation Center. Another table will be available Thursday, Oct. 14, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the UMC.
"Our goal is to educate women on campus about risk factors that increase the chance of developing breast cancer," said Heather Collis, student coordinator of the Wellness Program. "We also want to encourage women to get into a regular habit of self-examination."
According to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation, breast cancer is the most common form of cancer found in women today. This year, 192,000 new cases will be diagnosed in the United States alone.
Early detection is the key to prevention and treatment. Screening mammography, clinical breast examinations and for women 20 years of age and older, breast self-examinations are vital.
Representatives from Wardenburg will hand out pink ribbons at the information tables and offer stickers, shower cards and nail files that have messages reminding women to do a monthly self-exam. Brochures and fact sheets also will be available.
This year marks 20 years for the National Breast Cancer Awareness campaign, which is comprised of 17 national public service organizations, professional medical associations and government agencies working in partnership to raise awareness and provide access to screening services.For more information on Wardenburg Health Center's services visit the web site at www.colorado.edu/healthcenter/.

- Company: Givenchy
- Price: $70
- Official Site: PlayGivenchy.com
- Release Date: 2008
The whole thing is inspired by a symbol. Yes, the designers at Givenchy have taken direction from the forward-pointing arrows we've standardized as a sign of music and given us Play. The fundamental idea is that music evokes emotion -- and that this cologne will too. And because music can be interpreted in many ways, Play comes in two contrasting versions: Eau de Toilette and Intense; both use Caribbean amyris wood as the central note and then branch off from there. Overall, it's an interesting angle for a new cologne, but one that aims to fill a creative void in men's fragrance.
From the outset alone, you have to honor Play for its creative approach to men's fragrance. The entire thing is built around and interpreted from the "play button," and that's really looking for, if not creating, symbolism. But going beyond its cerebral aspects, you also have to credit Play for its other singular aspects. For one, it comes in two different variations, which allows guys to go with their own interpretation. What's more, both fragrances come in their own MP3-player style bottle, complete with the play, rewind and forward arrows. (It looks like a glass iPod, which is almost a too-literal interpretation.) And what's inside the one-of-a-kind bottles causes quite a stir as well. The key ingredient in both versions is Caribbean amyris wood, which has a distinctively woodsy, masculine bouquet. It's a sophisticated note that gives the idea and the execution of Play's unprecedented appeal.
Play is in the early stages of its career, so it's still up to both critics and audiences to decide how long it will be around. (It'll be especially interesting to watch if Eau de Toilette and Intense can find separate wearers and not vie for attention from the same buyers.) Lucky for Play, it has a lot of pleasing elements about it that give its career a serious trajectory. First and foremost, while Play does branch into new territory with the use of amyris wood, the underlying notes of both versions maintain connections with standard notes like patchouli, bergamot and citrus; by maintaining these ties, Play increases its odds of appealing to a mass market, even if the product seems to be aimed at a younger crowd. When it gets down to it, thanks to its creative approach and engaging aroma, Play should have plenty of staying power.

We don't really know how often images will change, so from that point, hard to say what is the right approach. If image updates are infrequent, then the client could download the image information once and keep using it. However, if there is any change, no matter how small, the client then needs to download the entire image name->number(Continue reading)

Virtualization: Scary Times Two
By user12601629 on Feb 26, 2007
Last week I mentioned how Apple and Microsoft were in danger of missing the Virtualization Cluetrain. Well the heat seems to be turning up on Microsoft now. There is a lot more activity coming out of this story now. First, VMware is using this as an opportunity to launch an offensive. They've long feared that Microsoft's Virtual Server will take a bite out of their ESX cash cow. However, with the recent Vista licensing changes VMware is starting to use language that sounds like it's prepping for an anti-trust case (although they say they're not). It'll be very interesting to see where this all leads. This article at the New York Times has more. ITWorld is also covering the story.
On a related note: Beta News is carring a story that says Microsoft came close to banning virtualization all together for fear it could lead to new security exploits.
Again, Microsoft finds themselves in tough innovator's dilemma territory. It'll be interesting to see their next move.

The Internet is the most effective communications tool ever invented, a tool whose implications for human society are only beginning to be glimpsed. This page presents information to help you better understand and work with the Internet.
Shut down offensive websites: If you spot an offensive web site -- antisemitic, terrorist supporting, anti-Israel, or just hateful -- you may be able to shut it down. By following simple procedures, you can determine who owns the site and what web hosting company is giving them access to the Internet. Often the offensive site is not actually known to the web hosting company and is probably in violation of their rules of conduct. A simple letter of complaint can force the site to move, a considerable inconvenience and possibly the end of them.
Don't publicize hateful sites: If you want to tell others about a website by anti-Israel Arabs or neo-Nazis, do not include the link to the site in your email. Even more seriously, do not link to such sites from a website. By providing links you increase the offending site's traffic and may even improve their listing on search engines! Keep them in the dark -- don't provide their address to anyone except law enforcement.
Stop e-mail spam: One of the annoying realities of today's Internet is the prevelance of "spam" e-mail. Almost everyone is getting these unsolicited e-mails, most containing advertisements for goods and services you probably don't want. Many of the offers are objectionable if you have no interest in adult web sites and products. And some mailings spread hate, lies, and propaganda about Jews or other groups. Dealing with spam can be a complicated matter, depending on your circumstances. One very basic step is to enable the "blocking" option on your own e-mail software (e.g., Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express). For more information about the broad topic, this tutorial is a good start.
If the spam comes in a form that you can reply to (i.e. has a valid address), you might include a warning to the spammer, such as:
Under such circumstances, do send the offending email to the
provider being used, such as aol.com, msn.com or other Internet service being
used by the spammer.
Internet Crime: If you are the victim of a crime conducted via the Internet,
or if you suspect fraud in something you receive, there is an on-line center
where you can file Internet related criminal complaints. The
Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) is a partnership between the Federal
Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C).
IC3's mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal
complaints regarding cyber crime. The IC3 gives the victims of cyber crime a
convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected
criminal or civil violations. For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at
the federal, state, and local level, IC3 provides a central referral mechanism
for complaints involving Internet related crimes.

Gap Year Description
I divided my gap year into three different sections: community service, travel and work. In the fall, I coached the JV Volleyball team at my high school. I had played as a varsity athlete for four years so I was very familiar with the program. Coaching was a challenging experience, but it was also very rewarding. I have never been prouder than when my girls won our last game. While coaching volleyball, I was also organizing a charity golf outing to help raise money for a local family in need.
Then I jetted off to Tamarindo, Costa Rica where I took Spanish lessons in the morning and surfing lessons in the afternoon. Because it was low season in October and November, I was privately tutored in Spanish for four hours everyday! I hope to make it back to Tamarindo one day! Pura Vida!
When I returned to the States, I worked as a hostess in a restaurant for three months. I also read a ton of books, and I watched the ENTIRE series of Friends. In late March, I headed off to Europe for three weeks. I took a month long Art History entirely in Spanish in Salamanca, Spain. I traveled around the UK, and I was in London for the Royal Wedding! I also did a week long painting trip in Southern Spain with all these middle-aged women from the UK. It was a blast!
Everyone should take a gap year. It was the best year of my life!
How did it influence your time at Middlebury?
I was so burnt out from high school that it was so nice to take some time from academics. I felt excited and ready to begin classes again, and I immediately got involved in student organizations on campus like WRMC and MCAB. Because of my involvement, I immediately felt really connected to the Middlebury community. Within a few weeks--much to the dismay of my parents--I started Middlebury "home". Because I had pushed myself so much during my time off, I felt more comfortable branching out and trying new things while on campus.

Dear Think
Surely one day mankind is going to become so 'clever' that he, she, we, will discover the quantum theory of gravity and invent an explosive force so wild that it will make the A-Bomb look like an art fart!? The answer to the Big Bang or not? - Think Murphy, Prague, Europe, The World, Universe
The explosive force you seek does exist. It's called 'Human Stupidity,' the most destructive force ever developed in and out of a laboratory. I won't go into details here, but I've heard that the human race is headed towards extinction. "Oh, what a naysayer" many will moan, bit it' is a FACT that 99.989% of all organisms which ever lived are currently now extinct. See how stupid humans are? They think reality doesn't apply to them.
New Think
I am very glad to see a new English editor at THINK. I am very glad that THINK has changed its style & writing. I wish to give advice to the new editors of THINK: Please stop trying to be political. I feel that the political stuff is preachy and overbearing. The last thing we need is to be told how to live. I also found it immature and tacky to see articles that would make fun of other countries or the citizens of other countries.
Discrimination is wrong regardless if it is political or not. Please be careful of printing stuff by NGO's even if they are Czech. Often times NGO's are just scams to pocket money. NGO's may have nice messages but little is often done by them, with the staff pocketing much of the money. I also am glad to see that THINK has dropped the sadistic and vulgar humor. The world has enough problems as it is. We should not have to read a magazine to see additional cruelty and sadism.
I also hope that the writers "Micah Jayne" and "Milkmoney Jones" are no longer contributing articles. Those 2 people wrote depressing and vulgar articles. Milkmoney was especially vulgar because he would always be writing an article making fun of North Americans while glorifying Czech people. This is truly discriminatory and crude.
I also hope that there will be fewer drawings of people suffering or ironic/cynical images. We don't need to see that. If people want to look at such things, they can look at a Diesel ad instead or read some garbage like VICE magazine or THE FACE.
Hi Amanda,
Think is what it is, it is what it was, and it is what it will be. That's Think. We're glad you've found something/one who tickles yer toes... And we only make fun of Canadians... because we're insecure in our own nationality. Cauky!

A man suffocated his girlfriend after a deliberate crash, and now he will spend the rest of his life behind bars for this brutal crime. A Pennsylvania man murdered his pregnant girlfriend in 2012, and now he has been sentenced to as much as 56 years in prison. The Spread It reported on Benjamin Klinger's sentencing on Aug. 31.
This shocking crime first made headlines two years ago. Benjamin Klinger admitted to killing his girlfriend. The murder happened in December 2012 after an intense argument. Klinger found out that his girlfriend of two years, Samantha Heller, was pregnant. The young couple then decided to go for a drive, and this is where the murder happened. During their drive, Klinger decided to drive his car head on into a guardrail. At the time of the accident, he was driving at 115 mph. He was severely injured in the crash, but both he and his girlfriend survived.
His girlfriend did survive the initial accident, but she did not survive what happened next. Klinger sat on his girlfriend's torso and head until she died. The cause of death was suffocation. A witness at the scene of the crime did call 911, and he heard Samantha ask her boyfriend to get off her chest. The witness told the 911 operator this, and they were told not to move the injured persons inside the car. Her pleas are even heard on the tape of the 911 call. Would Samantha be alive today if the eyewitness acted when they heard her pleas? There is no real way to know that.
Klinger pleaded guilty in a Lancaster County court late last week. He also apologized to the young girl's family during the court appearance. He said the following to the family of Samantha Heller, according to Travelers Today:
"I accept full responsibility for the loss of a very special person. I want you to know with all my heart I'm sorry ... really sorry."
Samantha Heller was only 17 years old at the time of her death. Klinger and Heller had been dating for two years at the time of the accident. It was revealed following the accident that Klinger was abusive to Heller during their relationship. One incident involved Klinger pushing Heller down a flight of stairs. Heller told friends she was pregnant just days before the accident, but it was not clear if the baby belonged to Klinger.
Heller was the only child of Sandy McFalls. Her mother described Samantha as "happy, charismatic and loving" prior to her relationship with Klinger. However, she became withdrawn and closed off as the abusive relationship continued. McFalls did admit that her family did try to get Samantha away from Klinger, but their attempts were not successful. McFalls accepted the sentence, and she said the following to Klinger during the court session:
"I want you to have nothing else to do (in prison) but think about how you took her life and destroyed ours."
The judge involved with the case, Margaret Miller, hopes that Klinger is a changed man when he is released from prison. She said the following during Klinger's sentencing:
"[There] is no doubt in my mind you lived your life with a callousness, arrogance and a cowardliness, frankly, because being a bully is a coward. You treated [Heller] like an object, and when that object became an inconvenience, the object was removed from your path."
He will have to spend at least the next 28 years of his life behind bars though. His sentence includes time for a drug charge and for sharing sexually explicit photos of a minor. This crime has brought new attention and debate to abusive relationships. Samantha might be alive today if she had ended her relationship with Benjamin Klinger.

MKG's Service Project for 2011 – Chemo Caps
Our 2011 service project was announced at the January meeting. Biz the Clown entertained us as he talked about our project to knit chemo caps for cancer patients.
This year's service project is dedicated to Carrie Bartz.She was the MKG Secretary who passed away in the summer of 2010. One of the charity knitting causes that Carrie was involved in was knitting chemo caps for oncology patients. One of those recipients made sure that we knew the cap she was wearing at Carrie's memorial service had been knitted by Carrie.
We are working with the American Cancer Society to donate the chemo caps in Duluth, Minneapolis, Rochester and St Paul. The ACS will be handing out the caps at their local offices, their sponsored Hope Lodges (Rochester & Minneapolis), SMDC (Duluth), HCMC (Minneapolis), Mayo (Rochester) and United (St Paul).
Our goal is to knit 400 chemo caps (100 for each city). We have a thermometer showing our progress and we will reveal the ongoing tally at each meeting.
We are having a contest for members, with prizes for the top 2 winners each half year. The contest will be for who donates the most chemo caps each half year. The winners will be announced and prizes awarded at the July (picnic) and December (potluck) meetings. I will bring all the chemo caps donated each half year to the award meetings, so everyone can see and touch the caps. I'll be accepting chemo caps at each meeting, so you can bring them in when ever you have a cap done, you don't have to save them until one of the award meetings.
If you won't be able to bring the chemo caps to a meeting, or have friends who would like to contribute, but don't come to meetings, we will have a box at Yarnover for donations. We will also have this box at all the events that MKG volunteer's for this year.
We have a list of suggested yarn (soft & elastic) on our service blog (http://mnknittersguild.wordpress.com). We also have links for web sites that have patterns for chemo caps. We want to make sure that these chemo caps are special & not just your regular hats. Please use the suggested yarn & patterns specific to chemo caps (pattern is different from regular hats due to the recipients not having much hair). If you have any chemo cap patterns that you have knitted & really like, please let Michele Germanson know so we can make sure people know about it.
Each quarter, we will be showcasing a specific chemo cap pattern. A member of the guild will knit the chemo cap and we will display the cap at a monthly meeting (January, April, July & October). A picture of the chemo cap will be put out on the blog for everyone to view, along with the pattern. If you would like to volunteer to be one of the knitters for one of the showcased chemo caps, let Michele Germanson know.
Get the most out of your love of knitting! Membership benefits include pre-registration for Yarnover, a subscription to our quarterly Cable Gram, organized public service projects and camaraderie with fellow knitters. Annual dues are $30.

Excellent Hotel.
Minor personal complaints if any.
Could have softer mattresses or perhaps supply memory foam covers for those of us that need a softer mattress for our aging backs.
Additionally the TV did not permit Closed Caption viewing which I regularly use.
I would return here without question and would look to stay at any Staybridge Suites Hotel in the future.
Great place to stay with a dog
April 12, 2016
My son and I recently stayed at the University of Rochester Staybridge Suites with our dog. As usual, the location was excellent to see my daughter who attends the University. The hotel staff was great - very accommodating with my dog. Our suite had lots of room to spread out - even had a table to eat take-out Buffalo Chicken Wings! Thanks.

In disappointing news, SyFy has announced that season 4 will be the last season for "Being Human." The network announced the cancellation of the show today according to a Feb. 25 report on Spoiler TV.
Ina press release, SyFy announced the end of the supernatural drama centering on 4 roommates, each with supernatural attributes. Sally the ghost, Aiden the vampire and Nora and Josh, the werewolves, will have to find other accommodations when the show wraps in April.
The showrunners promise that the remaining 6 episodes are the best of the series and that the April 7 series finale will be a spectacular send off. They have even prepared a video where each of the 4 main cast members, Sam Witwer, Sam Huntington, Meaghan Rath and Kristen Hager have the chance to talk about their feelings about the fans, the show and one another and what the experience has been like for them.
The show airs on Mondays on SyFy, at least for a few more weeks.

Cougars Split Crucial Two-Gamer with U-Mary
The University of Sioux Falls baseball team (16-20, 11-11) split a pair of NSIC contests with the University of Mary (15-13-1, 6-7) tonight at Augustana College's Ronken Field.
The weather was beautiful in the opener, but it wasn't very pretty for the Cougars. Derek Fischer gave up three homers and four runs in the worst outing of his collegiate career and the Cougars dropped game one 5-0. Noah Coleman twirled a three-hitter to spark the Cougars to a 4-0 win in the nightcap.
With the split, the Cougars slipped from sixth to eighth place in the NSIC standings. The top eight teams will qualify for next month's NSIC postseason tournament.
Mary 5, USF 0
Fischer (3-7) had surrendered a single home run in three seasons at USF but there was clearly something in the air tonight. In the second shortest outing of his career, he allowed four runs on four hits and struck out seven. It didn't help that he received no run support with the Cougars managing four hits in total.
U-Mary senior outfielder Marice Burrough poked the very first pitch Fischer offered over the right field fence to give the Marauders a 1-0 advantage after one.
Fischer retaliated by striking out the next three batters and he faced the minimum through the next two innings. The big blow came in the fourth, however, when the Marauders went deep in consecutive at-bats after a lead-off hit by pitch to increase the margin to 4-0.
Damian Kardas relieved Fischer in the fifth and yielded one run on three hits the rest of the way.
U-Mary senior ace Jeff Skadeland provided the Marauders five solid innings. He allowed no runs, three hits and four walks, and struck out one. Skadeland was pulled after the fifth and Shane Trattles pitched two innings of one-hit relief.
U-Mary out-hit the Cougars, 6-4. Freshman Noah Durkin continued to wield the Cougars' hottest bat, finishing 2-for-3 with a walk. Corey Vasquez and Kelby Beste had the other hits.
USF 4, Mary 0
Coleman (5-3, 2.58 ERA) was dominant from the start, needing all of eight pitches to send the Marauders down in order in the bottom of the first inning.
It's the fourth win in a row for Coleman, who boasts a conference ERA of 0.83 and has given up three earned runs total to NSIC opponents this season.
His teammates gave him a lead in the fourth inning. Damian Kardas lashed a lead-off triple and Beste singled him home with a bullet to right field. Kardas was at the top of the order again in the sixth and reached first base on a dropped third strike. A sacrifice and walk put runners on first and second, and Kardas scored when Dylan Dwyer pushed a base hit to right field.
In the seventh, the Cougars sandwiched Durkin's lead-off base knock and a walk around a sacrifice before Trevor Crow knocked a seeing-eye single to the short stop to plate Durkin. One pitch after that, Kardas doubled home Vasquez for the Cougars' fourth and final tally.
The runs were plenty for Coleman, who scattered three hits across eight masterful innings. The Broomfield, Colo., native struck out five and walked two. Henry Ojeda pitched a hitless ninth, fanning two.
Kardas went 3-for-4 at the plate with one RBI and two runs scored. Beste and Crow each collected an RBI hit. The Cougars out-hit U-Mary, 8-3, struck out nine times and committed three errors in the field.
The Cougars will travel to St. Paul, Minn., this weekend for a four-game (Sunday-Monday) series with the Golden Bears.

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Soul slim their playoff clinching difficulties as they defeat the Orlando Predators 35-28 in front 7,069 fans at the Wells Fargo Center.
The Soul's defense continued to improve and were able to keep Predators QB Jason Boltus off of his heels the entire game. Boltus was constantly rushed by DB Teddy Jennings, whom on the night recorded 2 tackles and 1 sack. The three-year quarterback from Hartwick college went 22-48, threw 308 yards and two touchdowns.
"It was our work in practice and I've been doing the same thing all year," Jennings told reporters after the game inside the Wells Fargo Center. "I'm learning the game a little bit more and it's a win or go home type situation."
In addition to the pressure from the d-line, DB Rayshaun Kizer improved his game from the first half to the second half. Kizer was deflecting passes and applying more pressure on the Predators to scoring 7 points in the second half which is something that coach Dolezel commends.
"He played a heck of the game in the second half, no question," Dolezel said. "It's not an easy job, he plays a lot of man to man coverage and that's probably as good as I've seen him play in the second half."
On the offensive side, the Soul opened up the game strong when DB LaRico Stevenson ran back a 57 yard kickoff return. With a little help from the defense, the Soul were able to quickly jump on the board for a 14-0 lead after a Raudabaugh to Markee White touchdown for 19 yards.
Since coming to the Soul, WR Markee White, Russell Athletic Offensive Player of the game, arguably had his best game this season. White finished the game by racking up 65 yards and 3 touchdowns including, a beautiful one handed touchdown catch that put the Soul up 28-14.
"It was a playoff mode game with our backs against the wall so it was a must win for us," White said after the game. "I just played to the best of my ability when my number was called."
Conversely, QB Dan Raudabaugh seemed out of the zone despite the team win. Raudabaugh went 14-25, 193 yards and 4 touchdowns including several overthrown balls.
"I don't think I played particularly very well tonight," Raudabaugh said. "They played a lot more man coverage than we expected, I missed a lot of throws but hey that's ok. Our defense picked us up and [Predators defense] did a good job."
Since the Soul won, they will need to pay attention to the Tampa Bay Storm and the San Jose SaberCats game because if San Jose wins, then the Soul will be a half game behind the Storm for the final wild card spot in the playoff picture.
The Soul will rest up next week with their bye and will then return to the Wells Fargo Center for their final home game to face the San Jose SaberCats on July 20th at 4:00pm ET.

ELILO patch for Booting Solaris
By szhou on Oct 06, 2006
ELILO patch for Booting SolarisHere is a patch for elilo-3.6 which can boot Solaris from EFI. You will need OpenSolaris build 51 or later so kernel knows where to find the ACPI root table. It is tested on an Intel iMac. Solaris installation does not support EFI yet, so I put multiboot and a solaris image on the Mac HFS filesystem, in the same directory as elilo.efi. Using the shell from Intel's EFI kit, you can boot Solaris with the following command.
elilo -i sol_image multiboot -E -B console=usb-serialwhere -E informs kernel that the firmware is EFI based and the console is set to a USB serial device (see separate blog entry regarding Solaris on EFI).
The patched elilo source is elilo-patched.tgz.
The elilo source patch is elilo-3.6.patch.
The compiled elilo binary is elilo.efi.

Comics Time: Locas, or Announcing LOVE AND ROCKTOBER
NOTE: Nearly six years ago, I panned Jaime Hernandez's life's work in The Comics Journal. Though this is probably the Comics Journal-est thing I've ever done, for the Journal or anywhere else, it's not one of my prouder moments as a critic. At the time I was coming down from the high of brother Gilbert's epic Palomar hardcover and his two stand-alone masterpieces Poison River and Love and Rockets X. By comparison, Jaime's stuff, though prettier on the outside, was basically about the female Latina punk versions of Beavis and Butt-Head. Unable to see past the fact that Maggie and Hopey were annoying and did stupid shit a lot of the time, I gave Locas, which collected all their stories from Love and Rockets v1, a bad review.
Here's where I make up for it.
I happy to announce the start of LOVE AND ROCKTOBER here at Attentiondeficitdisorderly. For the next month, I'll be devoting my regularly scheduled Comics Time reviews to as much of Los Bros Hernandez' work as I can get through, starting with the Jaime material I misguidedly maligned. I believe that Love and Rockets is all but unique in comics in the way it has taken advantage of serialization to slowly create a rich and enveloping world peopled with multifaceted characters who seem to be living lives on and off the page. And it did this twice, simultaneously! With this in mind I think it's a book that's best consumed the way great TV shows are best consumed: In huge, weeks-long binges. It may be Fantagraphics' wonderful Love and Rockets digests facilitating this rather than Netflix, but the principle is the same.
So, first up, Jaime and the Locas stories. After that? I might continue forward with Xaime till I'm caught up. I might switch over to Beto's stuff. (And Mario's too!) I might do both (which I imagine would necessitate LOVEMBER AND ROCKETS). I might do neither. But whatever I do, I'm going to enjoy the hell out of it, and I hope you do too.
First, let's start by revisiting sins past: My Comics Journal review of Locas, which I'd avoided re-posting here on the blog for years, waiting for precisely this sort of opportunity to serve as a corrective. Please take everything you are about to read with a grain of salt, as much of what I once saw to be weaknesses I now recognize as strengths. And Jaime, if you're out there: Sorry, man!
Jaime Hernandez, writer/artist
Fantagraphics Books, October 2004
712 pages, hardcover
Buy it from Fantagraphics

The first collection to span one of Los Bros Hernandez' major output during the first 20-year run of their umbrella title Love and Rockets was Palomar, an anthology of brother Gilbert's chronicles of the titular Mexican town. Aside from a few frustrating attempts to muddle through the multi-genre mishmash of Music for Mechanics, L&R's first softcover volume, Palomar was my first real exposure to Los Bros' series. To say "it's a tough act to follow" would be to imply that one of maybe the three or four greatest achievements in comics history could be followed at all, so instead I'll say that I was almost totally unprepared for how thoroughly the book would floor me. Gilbert's uncanny grasp of the totality of each of his characters allowed him to jump back and forth in time with ease, showing us different periods in their lives that for all their temporal disconnect never made anything but perfect sense for each indelible creation. His senses of humor, horror, and eroticism would each be enough to sustain the career of a lesser cartoonist for years at a stretch. The book succeeded as maybe the great long-form narrative in comics, even (as I learned later) despite the fact that it for some reason omitted major related works like Love and Rockets X and especially Poison River, without which much of the book's concluding section was difficult to follow. Perhaps most impressively, Gilbert's mastery of the formal stuff of cartooning -- of line, design, characterization, caricature, panel transitions, the whole shmear -- was so complete that I had to wonder (partially in skepticism, partially in giddy anticipation of fresh discoveries), "The other brother's supposed to be the better artist?"
Locas, Love and Rockets' second definitive hardcover collection, focuses on the work of that other brother, the "better artist," Jaime -- and I'm not sure if I can remember a more awkward comics-reading experience than my recent sojourn through its 700-plus pages. I say this not because of the book's unwieldy length. I say it rather because of the dual irony that this massive collection could consist of material that feels so slight, and that after reading the single longest comic book I've ever come across I should find myself with so little to say.
One thing I will say, since it's unavoidable, is that the book is nowhere near the masterpiece that Palomar is. It could be argued that it's unfair to compare the two works simply because their authors are brothers. Now, I don't think it could be argued persuasively -- when one spends years and years sharing funnybook real estate with one's sibling and indeed adopts a collective moniker, one invites such comparisons -- but that's not even the point. Locas suffers in comparison to Palomar, but so do most comics. The point is that it suffers from much more than that as well.
Things get off to a rough start with the uneasy blend of sci-fi, soap opera and cheeky revolutionary politics found in "Mechanix" and "Las Mujeres Perdidas," the two big storylines that begin the collection. This is not to say that even these unrepresentative, shaky stories do not have much to recommend them. Here Jaime's art most clearly displays his classic influences, imbuing the dinosaur-fighting and rocket-flying action with beauty and dynamism. "Mechanix"' unusual structure -- a series of letters from traveling mechanic Maggie to her best friend and fellow punk Hopey, punctuated with predominantly stand-alone panels which illustrate the text -- serves as an early indication of Jaime's great strength, that of graphic design. The title panels/pages Jaime constructs are inevitably the best looking part of any of his stories, as they allow his gifted use of high contrast and his inventive and iconic lettering and portraiture to shine; since "Mechanix" is essentially a series of such images, it's awfully nice to look at.
Yet already the flippant tone Jaime adopts for writing his characters, one he will be unable to shake off throughout the book, works to his detriment. Maggie essentially has two settings for looking at the world: Everything's either a goof or a tragedy. This gives these early stories, in which the lives of thousands of people, including our heroine and her friends, are often at stake in power struggles between crazed plutocrats, an air of frantic, bipolar absurdity that does not at all suit them. Perhaps the intention was a sort of Duck Soup-style lampooning of love and life in the nuclear age, but the stories come off as inconsistent and unsure of what they want to be and how they want to be it.
Before long the sci-fi trappings are shed entirely, seemingly more out of embarrassment than aesthetic evolution. The high-decibel hijinx, however, remain. Maggie and her sometime-girlfriend, sometime-best friend Hopey spend the bulk of the book fuming, with exclamation points and distorted kabuki-mask faces abounding. Listen, I've certainly known people who've spent years and years dancing around their true feelings for each other, but never so loudly! It's like a soap opera scripted by Fourth World-era Jack Kirby! When quieter characters like Hopey's ex-girlfriend and current bandmate Terry or witchy, death-haunted Izzy appear, I swear I can hear my ears ringing in the relative silence.
If Jaime has a claim to greatness in these pages, it's in his creation of those two comparatively minor characters. Terry Downe looks so much like The Amazing Spider-Man's Mary Jane Watson that she might as well be a fanfic version of her: "What if Gwen Stacy had lived, and M.J. moved to California, got into punk rock, and became a lesbian?" But behind her resolute, John Romita-derived wall of punk cool, there's just oceans of pain, observable both in her relentless quest for musical success (given what we know of her, this may well be possible) and for Hopey (given what we know of Hopey, this isn't). She's easily the book's most compelling character, and the story in which she stars, "Tear It Up, Terry Downe," is easily its most compelling sequence. With alarming proficiency not in evidence elsewhere in the book, Jaime constructs a riveting story out of disjointed panels, each depicting a scene from different stages in Terry's life or a comment from someone who knows or knew her, each offering a vital glimpse of the origins of her reserved persona. Clearly, it's one born out of trauma rather than pretension. (Would that this could be said for the object of her unrequited love: Hopey's early relationship with Terry is undoubtedly tumultuous, but it feels as though this simply brought out obnoxious qualities in the character that were already extant.)
Black-clad psychic Izzy is also a revelation. Her premonition of disaster in "The Death of Speedy Ortiz" is the truly haunting moment in a story I found to be otherwise quite oversold by its admirers (who are many, and vocal); her fascination with the missing-persons ad Hopey eventually finds herself on is equally memorable, as is her quietly built-up battle with cancer, and indeed the simple presence of her stoic countenance in a book that's full to bursting with mugging. But Izzy's great shining moment, "Flies on the Ceiling," isn't even included in the collection. Meanwhile, a zany, Warner Bros.-style Maggie'n'Hopey romp redrawn from a comic made when the brothers were little kids is included, proving that the parameters of the collection -- "The Maggie and Hopey Stories" -- may have been more than a little short-sighted.
Jaime's technical skills as an artist are not to be scoffed at, obviously. This is a beautiful book. Each of his characters is a wonder in design, and even as Jaime's style shifts from the rendered EC-isms of the early stories into a sort of graphic-design shorthand by book's end, you simply have to marvel at his skill in creating recognizable characters who maintain their essence through over a decade of hairstyle and hair-color changes, weight gain and loss, and radically shifting stations in life. (This last, too, is a strength of the book: Locas is one of comics' more interesting explorations of the simultaneous fluidity and rigidity of America's class-and-race caste system, all the more so since the topic seems to get explored almost incidentally.) The art's strongest moments come during several pin-up style panels depicting Hopey and Terry's band on stage during their ill-fated tour. Simply put: If there are better depictions in this medium of the allure of punk rock than the page-spanning panels in "Jerusalem Crickets 1987," I'd like to see 'em. Too bad that so few of the characters seem to have gotten much more out of punk than an excuse to act like jerks and push their loved ones away -- and too bad we're supposed to think that the band's drummer is an idiot for wanting to play like John Bonham. Odd that an artist's love of technical proficiency would be mocked in a Jaime Hernandez comic!
Meanwhile, Jaime's temporal jump-cuts demonstrate a wonderful faith in the intelligence of the reader to follow the increasingly complex lives of the characters. The problem here, though, is that the characters lack the strength of characterization to back these jumps up. As presented within Locas, too many characters suddenly appear from nowhere and are given prominence that their development itself won't bear. The character of Tex, for example, emerges suddenly to become a pivotal player during some of the book's central stories: He helps Hopey escape from her band's rapidly imploding tour, then ends up impregnating both Hopey and her larger-than-life trophy-wife friend Penny Century before just kind of petering out of the storyline. Now, I can already hear people say "but this is how life works," and indeed I've got a roster of ex-friends as long as your arm to prove it, but life also includes two hour visits to the DMV. Trueness to life is a potential means to the end of great art, not a guarantor of it. (At any rate, few people's true-life trajectory involves knocking up two lipstick lesbians in one of said lipstick lesbians' so-big-there-are-whole-wings-no-one-sets-foot-in mansion, owned by said lipstick lesbian's horned husband.) A natural-feeling rapport between familiar and out-of-nowhere characters can be established -- see Ralph Cifaretto's introduction in The Sopranos, Wolverine's conversation with Doop in Milligan and Allred's X-Force (I shit you not), or really any such incident in Palomar -- but in Locas the continuous accrual of sisters, cousins, roommates, co-workers, ex-girlfriends, bandmates, tag-team partners and so on feels forced and arbitrary, and at its worst like a convenient distraction from the voids at the centers of the two main characters.
That, too, is the problem. Yes, I'm sure we all know basket cases like Maggie and angry youth like Hopey, but so what? I also know several people (say) with masters degrees in engineering, and if they weren't also interesting people, no degree of accuracy in the depiction of their lives would save a comic I might make about them from being rather pointless. Near as I can tell, there's simply not much to Maggie and Hopey. The funny thing is they are so very often held up to be the pinnacle of multi-dimensional female characters in the male-dominated world of comics. Now, I'm not sure I see the feminist victory present in the ongoing chronicles of beautiful, bed-hopping, punked-out teenage lesbians; otherwise I guess we could all trade in our P.J. Harvey records for those Tatu girls. (And let's not even get started on Penny Century, a character whose sole purpose seems to be to conveniently deploy her tits, mansions, or both, depending on the needs of a given story.) But even putting all that aside, what is so wonderfully multi-dimensional about a girl who is continuously pining, fuming, or (to steal a line from Tina Fey's Mean Girls) eating her feelings, or a girl whose sole, and I do mean sole, means of interacting with the world is to embrace terrible behavior on the part of herself and those around her toward anyone she might be tempted to care about? The torpedoing of one's own chances at happiness is often a fascinating topic for comics, yet only if the character doing the torpedoing seems to have some inner life worth preserving does that fascination arise. Hopey, a character who among other things bounces back from a miscarriage like it was the common cold, ostentatiously applauds the sexual depravity of a group of wealthy acquaintances until it inevitably erupts into violence, kicks the snot out of her ex-best friend for no good reason, and (during a flashback) delivers her new friend Daffy into a terrifying encounter with an unhinged, nymphomaniacal pro-wrestler just for gits and shiggles, does not have such an inner life. Hopey is at her most interesting in the story "A Date with Hopey." Told from the point of view of a character that we never see before or again, it describes the instant rapport like-minded, alienated youth feel for one another, and the mysterious way in which such instant closeness evaporates. With Hopey, evaporate is all it can do. (Maggie, saddled as she is with years spent in love with this woman, is rendered uninteresting by osmosis.) Like Daffy after that pro-wrestler flashback, we're left wondering: Is the woman we've spent years (or the page-count equivalent thereof) questing after like some combination of Dulcinea and Moby Dick really just kind of a boring asshole? And has punk -- along with Latino culture and professional woman's wrestling, milieus Jaime chronicles with a great deal of self-evident passion and love -- taught her anything aside from how to be professionally unpleasant, to the detriment of herself, her friends, and us readers?
A little over a year ago, before the release of Palomar and Locas rendered such questions irrelevant, I wondered where was the best place for a Love and Rockets neophyte to start reading the series. As a result I posted a thread to this publication's Internet message board, entitled "Help me learn to like Love and Rockets." The gist of the post was this: As a stickler for reading any given series in the chronological order of its release, I'd found myself stymied at the logical starting place, Music for Mechanics, which I'd tried and failed to get through three or four times now. My hope was that an alternate option would be proposed. Little did I expect the combination of bafflement, indignation and fury that would be aimed in the post's direction. Though I did receive a number of considered and considerate recommendations, the general attitude displayed by the board toward those who had not already pledged allegiance to Los Bros could be likened to those T-shirts you sometimes see straightedge hardcore kids wearing, the ones that say "If you're not now, you never were!" If I didn't already love Love and Rockets, if I didn't already see why it deserved its two decades of plaudits, it's probably best if I just shut the fuck up about it. In other words, "If you're not now, you never will be!"
I wanted to like the Maggie and Hopey stories as much as I was supposed to. I wanted to let the strength of "Tear It Up, Terry Downe" and "A Date with Hopey" and parts of "Chester Square," "Wigwam Bam" and "The Death of Speedy Ortiz" convince me of the near-messianic value of the volume's remaining 650 pages. But in the end, maybe Maggie, Hopey, and Jaime's whole half of L&R are like the early gigs of the band Ape Sex that the pair reminisce over, heaping scorn on those who weren't in attendance. Maybe you had to be there.

First of all, I'm anticipating a flame or few over this post. This is my first post here, so I might be starting out on the wrong foot. But anyway.
If somebody has an actually shred of proof the Kyle's saber will actually be blue in the release, I will take this back, but it seems to me that since all the screenshots and previews are all basically made to give example. At E3, JK II was said to be only 3 months in. We don't even know the whole story arc yet.
I admit that its nifty to brain storm, but to actually generate anger because somebody said they hated the Lightsaber is kind of foolish. That's why games such as JK and Quake let you switch weapons. I for one am eternally fascinated by the Jedi/Sith/Force portions of the Star Wars Universe. It seems to me that EU allows Star Wars fans to become masters of the world that George Lucas created. They took up the challenge of writing books and storylines that expanded many different aspects. I've seen arguments and bickering over games that are no different then such books.
We have games that span from X-Wing to Jedi Knight, each having its own scope and span in the Universe. I think games like Jedi Knight are prime examples of great mixtures of these aspects. In JK, if you didn't want to ambush the numerous enemies with your Lightsaber, you switched it off.
I know I'm responding late to many posts on this section, but I hope I've made some points. I can't wait for this game to come out. It's like waiting for the next movie. People say Episode I was just utterly terrible, and others say they loved it. But I both types will be back to see the next one. I'm straying far from the point, but I tend to do it, and I hope it will be accepted a bit.
I basically played, and still play JK because of the Jedi/Force/Lightsaber aspects of the game. I can honestly say there were better games out if you just wanted to blow something up. I'm hoping JK II will expand far beyond my hopes and dreams for these aspects.
But the game is still months from release, and lots will change. I think we need to hold on tight until then and not rip each other apart over speculations and ideals.
Anyway, I'll keep a few band-aids around for when you people rip on me. But I hope to post back again soon and get involved in these discussions.

Australian Open confirms top seeds
Defending champions Novak Djokovic and Victoria Azarenka have been confirmed top seeds for next week's Australian Open tennis tournament.
The world number ones unsurprisingly topped the official seeding list.
Spain's David Ferrer, currently top billing at the Heineken Open in Auckland, continues to benefit from his countryman Rafael Nadal's injury and illness-enforced absence, taking the number four ranking and thus avoiding any of the top three players until at least the semi-finals.

Researchers from the Universidad Maimónides, in Buenos Aires, Argentina and the Museo Paleontológico Ernesto Bachmann in Argentina led by Pablo A. Gallina have discovered the remains of a new sauropod dinosaur from South America. This is a new species and the oldest sauropod discovered in the Americas to date. The discovery was announced in the May 14, 2014, issue of the journal Public Library of Science.
Leikupal laticauda was found in the Bajada Colorada Formation in Neuquén Province, Patagonia, Argentina. The remains date to the early Lower Cretaceous period. The newly discovered sauropod dinosaur had sufficient differences in the structure and size of the vertebrae to claim the animal as a new species of sauropod and a member of the Diplodocidae.
The genus name Leikupal means vanishing family in the native language of the Mapuche Native American nation that inhabits northwestern Patagonia where the dinosaur was discovered. The species name laticauda indicates the difference in the bone structure that makes this find a candidate for being a new species and one of the oldest known sauropods ever found. The find is the first known Jurassic sauropod found in South America and the most southern dinosaur find in the Americas.
Leikupal laticauda exhibits similar features that relate the dinosaur to African sauropods and in particular with the African form Tornieria found in Tanzania. The find indicates that the first sauropods must have developed prior to the Middle Jurassic period. The researchers postulate that the African species and the South American species may have had a common ancestor that roamed Gondwana.
This is not the first sauropod dinosaur discovered in South America but it is the oldest and the site is the most southern of all sauropod discoveries. Sauropods are iconic dinosaurs due to their size and long spines. The discovery adds to the large number of dinosaurs found in Argentina.

No. 27 Red Raiders Host In-State Rivals
April 17, 2014
LUBBOCK, Texas - No. 27 Texas Tech will close out the regular season this weekend as the Red Raiders host No. 55 TCU and No. 7 Texas at the McLeod Tennis Center.
"It is a big weekend, but I feel like we are ready," said Red Raider head coach Tim Siegel. "We are not the same team that started the season. We have matured and come together as a team."
Texas Tech will face TCU on Friday at 6 p.m. There is an Easter Egg Hunt scheduled for Lubbock Youth between doubles and singles. The first 100 fans will receive a Texas Tech Tennis T-shirt courtesy of Blue Sky Texas, along with a $1,500 ball toss and a chance to register to win two tickets to in professional tennis tournament in the United States.
The Red Raiders host the Longhorns in the season finale on Saturday at 6 p.m. The match is scheduled to be played at the McLeod Tennis Center. If inclement weather occurs on Saturday, the match is slated to move indoors to The Falls Athletic Club.
Texas Tech, which features the youngest lineup in the ITA Top 50, is led by a pair of ranked sophomores in No. 100 Hugo Dojas and No. 108 Felipe Soares. Dojas is 17-11 overall this season and has won seven of his last nine at the No. 2 position. Soares is 20-9 overall and is 6-3 in his last nine matches, including 2-2 against ranked opponents.
Dojas and Soares have combined to take over the No. 1 doubles spot over the last six weeks. The duo has gone 4-4 overall and 2-2 against ranked teams.
Francisco Zambon is 13-11 overall and has anchored the No. 3 position for most of the season. Johann Willems and Maxime Hinnisdaels have switched off between No. 4 and No. 5 this season. Willems is 9-9 this season, while Hinnisdaels is 15-10. Jolan Cailleau has anchored No. 6 this season and he is 17-6.
TCU is paced by No. 49 Nick Chappell and No. 98 Facundo Lugones in singles and the doubles combo of Chappell and Will Stein, who are No. 13.
Texas features three ranked singles teams and one doubles tandem -- Søren Hess-Olesen (19), Lloyd Glasspool (38) and George Goldhoff (91) in singles and Hess-Olesen and Glasspool (12) in doubles.
