by Lewis Carroll
Jabberwocky Introduction
In A Nutshell
This whole poem is nonsense.
Wait, what?
No, it's true. "Jabberwocky" is, in all probability, the most famous nonsense poem ever written in English. The vast majority of the words in this poem are clever inventions of its author. This makes sense if you consider the fact that it was originally published in its entirety in the 1871 book Through the Looking-Glass, and what Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll. Does that sound familiar? It should. With its companion piece, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, "Jabberwocky" is the basis for the wildly popular Disney movie Alice in Wonderland.
The poem itself was originally just the first stanza, and was published in a magazine that Carroll put together for family and friends. He entitled that first stanza "Stanza of Anglo-Saxon Poetry." Here Carroll was decidedly tongue-in-cheek, given that he was not Anglo-Saxon. ("Anglo-Saxon refers to people who lived in England in approximately 600 A.D.).
Carroll was English, however, and so we tend to think that "Jabberwocky" was influenced both by that Anglo-Saxon verse which he parodies (killing things with swords, heroes on quests, etc.), as well as a few local English legends (the north-English myth of the Lambton Worm is plausible here – it's about a hero that goes and vanquishes a livestock-eating slithery thing). In other words, "Jabberwocky" is part of a larger children's story gone sort-of awry. The nonsense and the rhyming and the fantasy characters all pin this poem down as something your mom or dad might have read you when you were five, but it's much more than that.
Critics have been raving about Carroll for decades. They just love the way that he manages to make his fantastical stories work on both a child's and an adult's level. His stories and poems are funny and whimsical, but they're also complicated, dark, and bitter. Children are entertained by the whimsy and fantasy. As adults, we see these layers of complexity emerge the more we read the work. "Jabberwocky" and the Alice stories were wildly popular in their time, and they're wildly popular now – for good reason.
Carroll's real name, by the way, was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, and in addition to being one of the greatest and most popular storytellers of his time, he was also an accomplished mathematician, logician, deacon, and photographer. And you thought your schedule was packed.
Why Should I Care?
Maybe it's hard to see why anyone should care about a poem that is, in essence, a bunch of nonsense words strung together in verse. After all, it's not like we ever use made-up words, or make noises when we react to things, or enjoy tales of violent heroism? Right? Right?
So maybe your use of the word "gaaah" on the internet doesn't have anything to do with Lewis Carroll, but what about, say, your love for a good, simple story of good vs. evil? "Jabberwocky," despite its goofy language, is about facing your demons. It's a strange world we live in, filled with all sorts of unknowns, and every now and again you're bound to round a corner and come face to face with something horrible (metaphorically, we hope). But we all have "vorpal blades" (18) lying around somewhere, just waiting to vanquish our awful foe. And when we do, it's awesome. We're awesome. And we go along our merry way.
By presenting in whimsical tones a triumphant tale of conquest, Carroll tells us that not only does good win out in the end, but that it will win out even if we're not taking things deadly seriously all the time. And that's refreshing, isn't it?

6 Questions to Ask on a First Date
Lie on your side with him behind you so you're both facing the same direction. Push your butt toward him as he enters you. Put your hand on his and show him how you want your clitoris to be touched. Have him alternate between there and your breasts.
Lay down on your back, and have your man lay on top, pacing his arms on either side of your shoulders. His body should be flat against yours. With your legs touching his, push your pelvis up about two inches. Your man should push down gently, providing a little counter-resistance. Instead of the usual in-and-out of thrusting, rock up and down. This should draw out both of your orgasms.

State Rep. Kelly Keisling, R-Byrdstown, and Sen. Mark Green, R-Clarksville:
I read with great dismay information about the bill you are sponsoring regarding decreased requirements for use of motorcycle helmets in the state of Tennessee, the so-called Motorcyclist Liberty Restoration Act. I see from your bios on the State's webpage that you are both parents. As a parent of three myself, I find it extremely disheartening that any parent could push forth legislation that would increase the likelihood of death should a motorcycle accident occur. And that's really what we're talking about here — preventative measures for the greater good.
My oldest son is 20 and owns a motorcycle. As his mother, I am concerned every single time he rides it. Not because he's not a responsible driver or that he hasn't been properly trained, but instead I fear for accidents, especially caused by those who simply don't see motorcycles. Most motorcyclists I know respect their bikes and all that comes with being a motorcycle owner. However, no one can predict an accident. I ask you to imagine the horror you'll feel should this bill come to pass and my son, or some other mother or father's son or daughter, dies because of lack of a helmet. I implore you, as those representing the safety of citizens of the State of Tennessee to remove your sponsorship of this legislation. It's the only choice that truly advocates a position of concern for all of our citizens.

I have very high arches. Every night while sleeping, I get cramps in my feet, arches and sometimes calves. Don't know if it has anything to do with my high arches but it is even worse when I am training hard. Is this caused by a vitamin deficiency? I have tried all kinds of stuff and so far, nothing seams to help. Any suggestions?
I have the same thing. If you find out please let me know.
I realized that if I was going to achieve anything in life I had to be aggressive. I had to get out there and go for it... I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it's an illusion to me. -Michael Jordan
I don't have high arches but lately I have had the same thing while I sleep or while watching TV. Any suggestion?

No, I wear flats most of the time. Either way, the heal height doesn't seam to make a difference. I am now trying out some potion I got on line for leg cramps developed by the Amish. It tastes terrible! It has a very strong vinegar base. But if it works, it will be worth it. Will keep you all updated as I move through this.
Last night I was watching TV with my legs stretched out on a footstool. Suddenly that familiar twinge started in my left arch and moved around my foot and into my toes, contorting my foot and sending me jumping up in pain. I went to the kitchen and poured a small glass of water and added a teaspoon of the potion I purchased on line. Then returned to watch TV. Typically the cramping would happen on and off all night. But this time I stretched out my legs and pointed my toes in the usual manner that brings on the cramps and nothing happened. No Cramping ever returned. This potion tastes awful but it sure worked last night. I will continue to use it as needed and let you all know.
But check this stuff out. It does not need refrigeration...it has a shelf life longer than a twinkie....and will probably clean windows pretty well. Plus, it has a guarantee so you can return it if you are not happy. How can you go wrong.
That's why I tried it!
Are they like charlie horse cramps? If so, potassium is usually the culprit for that... If you exercise regularly, your body can be depleted of potassium through dehydration. I get the weird twitching eye thing, but my husband gets nasty, nasty charlie horses... A potassium suppliment (and/or through food) works great for that...
What's in the potion you got?

Japan, 2010, 114 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, Romance, WarLanguage: Japanese English Sub-Titles
Screens at 7pm Thursday, February 21st at the Sie FilmCenter with Reception to follow
Kaneto Shindo has capped his illustrious 60-year career with perhaps his most passionate and personal work. The Japanese master's 49th film begins in 1944 as a young soldier is shipping out for the front. Foreseeing his own demise, he charges homeward bound Keita with delivering a message to his wife, Tomoko. When Keita finally locates Tomoko, she's fallen victim to two tragedies. While she yearns for companionship, the grievous losses he's suffered leave him reluctant to connect with anyone ever again. While the ravages of war have long fascinated Shindo, Postcard is directly inspired by the filmmaker's own wartime experience of being one of only six survivors from his 100-man company. "I have always had the souls of the 94 with me and have made them the theme of my existence," the 99-year-old director says. Employing a compelling mix of dark humor, soaring melodrama, and rich thematics, Shindo not only pays tribute to those lost lives, but also to the wounded left behind to pick up the pieces.
DIRECTOR: Kaneto Shindo

ya kinda dreading the 3 min run myself. glad i got this walk today to take my mind off of it. will probally try it Sunday before football starts. good luck to everybody else.
Well go me! I did W3D1 today and I really didn't find it bad at all. You only do four runs so I didn't actually go as far as in W2 and I was absolutely fine with the first 3 minute run. I'm fairly sure I could have gone of for longer (maybe even another 30 seconds ). You get a long time to cool down for the next couple of runs and when I came to the second 3 minutes I was on fire and even put on a burst of speed at the end...then heard the helpful app voice telling me I was halfway through my last run . So I slowed down again but I made it . For the first time I really enjoyed the actual running part!
How is everyone else doing?
well was hoping to get in a run today but thunder and lightning told me otherwise. so gonna try it again tomorrow. lol now your a day ahead of me ill let ya know tomorrow what i thought of w3d1
well did W3D1 run today. felt a little stiff at first cause of the extra day off yesterday. But otherwise not to bad. took it easy on first 3 runs then ran a little harder last 3 mins after reading your experience figured i might be able to. Hows everybody else doing on there runs? love to hear about them
Well, I am bit frustrated. I did W2D1. I did the first 3 runs ok. Then at the 4th run my left calf started to cramp up. I stopped and tried to stretch it out and then I tried to walk and
then tried to run again but it just wouldn't let go. I think it might be not enough walking before...think I walked 4 minutes instead of 5 and didn't drink any water today....
Poor you, SBShelly. Is your calf better now you've had a rest?
For the first time, I just couldn't finish a run - the second 3 minutes was just too much. I guess I shouldn't have expected to progress with every session though but I was a bit surprised at how hard I found it. I was originally planning to go out tomorrow but maybe another day's rest is in order!
How is everyone else doing?
SBShely what i do before my runs is ill walk around 5 mins, then strecth after im a little warmed up, then go ahead and start the days program. seems to help at least. good luck. w3d2 tomorrow
Thanks guys...it is still there...not as bad as last night but still there...
my plan is to rest another day and then Friday give it another go...Thanks
Cheesehead (ha, ha!!)...I need to definitely do some more stretching before.
People had said not to stretch too much before...kinda overdid that! Love
hearing how you all are doing. Good luck tomorrow!!
Wow...3 minutes! I think we just need to keep coming back after we rest it.
I do love the feeling of running. Surprises me!!
Hey, I am a week ahead of you guys can I still join your thread?
You certainly can, Nicolette! How are things going for you?
everybody is welcome to join in so welcome Nicolette78. did w3d2 today, didnt go to well cause i had a blond moment and forgot my running shoes at home and only had my 200lbs crosstrainers with me. but managaed to do it even with those shoes so just 1 more day till week 4!!
How's everyone doing?
I think I'm FINALLY going to get to start today! I tell ya, getting out of the house is HARD with five little ones running around! Hope everyone is having a great experience so far! I'll update after I (hopefully) get my run in today. Yippee!!
Happy running!

Another thing to watch for is not to get tense when you do your warm up. I was having terrible ankle pains and some calf pains, and then I realized I was SO tense when I was warming up, because I was trying to walk quickly. Make sure you're relaxing, use your major muscles and NOT your calves to push off.
If the pain persists, you might look into Chi Running. It'a runnign method created by a man named Danny Dryer, and he uses Tai Chi methodology to running so that your body runs efficiently WITHOUT stressing muscles and joints. Personally, I'm not into Tai Chi, or it's philosophys as a discipline, but the actual technique he teaches is amazing. Another personal anecdote here, sorry...I was having really weird, persistent ankel pain that I couldn't shake. I bought the book read up on the technique and tweaked a few things in the way I run, and the pain was gone, and it never came back! The impact on our bodies when we run is five times our total body weight (eek!) and Chi Running teaches you to use your major muscle groups and your natrual momentumt to propel yourself, rather than using JUST your muscles to cause forward momentum. You can get the book on Amazon for under $10, and I think it's well worth the money!
Hope that helps!
Jenn / BradenMommyof5
WOO HOO!!! I FINANLY got started! Week 1, Day one is in the BAG.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week! Happy running!

Chelsea Message Board
A Yahoo! User Nov 21, 2012 09:54 Flag
What price loyalty??
An FA Cup and a Champions League title. The man should go down in legend. Instead he is sacked in the midst of the November sticky patch that Chelsea hit every year.
The owner and the board sign the players, and they signed Luiz, the least defensive centre back I've ever seen, and Torres, who was going through the motions even in his last days at Liverpool. Yes, Mata, Oscar and Hazard are wonderful players, but without a real finisher, and players who can keep the door locked behind them, what is the point. Di Matteo did not sign those players.....Di Matteo did not prioritise attacking midfielders over defensive ones. Where is the screening, for the rocky back four?
Abramovich has money to burn, and Chelsea are his plaything, but his actions today aren't football, and they aren't fair on Robbie. I hate to see it. But Ho Hum.........Please not Benitez next is all I can say!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Hi Robert
Agree - crazy decision from your board again. That said, I think, if you give him a fair run, Rafa may turn out to be a very good appointment. I wish we still had him.

I am a Liverpool fan, just thought I'd gauge reaction on the Chelsea board. I think Rafa as a permanent appointment would do brilliantly at Chelsea.Maybe not this year, but certainly next, I'd see them a lge champions again. That is why I don't want him appointed.
Like most Chelsea fans, I was disappointed with the dismissal of Roberto di Matteo. FACT.
I liked him as a player for the club, and as manager he gave the club the Champions League. FACT.
Now I have to try to make sense of it all. FACT.
To start with, since the year 2000, Chelsea have won 3 League titles, 5 FA cups, 2 League cups and 1 Champions League. FACT.
That's an average of one major trophy per season. The club has done that with eight different managers. Therefore, does it matter that the club doesn't have continuity? Arsenal have managerial continuity and haven't won much at all. FACT.
The club have an almost new, and very young team now. That's good.
I don't like Benitez. I probably never will. But I do like the club winning things.
Let's be patient and see what happens next.
ps FACTS for fun :)
Like it or not, I have to live in the now.
Managers have been and gone. There is a new one now. If he doesn't get results quickly he will probably be gone, and then the club will have a new manager again.
What happens next? Who cares? Let's take one game at a time.
Two scoreless draws so far. Three more games without a win and he should be gone.
This is horrible.
I'll tell you about loyalty.I am a 60 year old Chelsea fan and have supported my beloved Blues for 56 years.
Loyalty is sticking with a team who costs managers their job, even if they managed to get us relegated twice to Div 2!
Loyalty is supporting your footie team when they don't deserve it and believe me, this time they don't!
Don't fool yourselves in to thinking we are a great footballing team; the best in Europe because, as much as I hate to admit it, we aren't!
We won the CL with a Didier Drogba penalty in the shoot out AETit's because we couldn't score in open play!
The team that cost Robbie his job NOT Roman Abramovitch. Let's be clear about that! And to be honest, we did not deserve to stay in the CL. Period.
Loyalty is about us giving Rafa our support no matter how much we hate him because of his Mersyside or Spanish pedigree or because of remarks he's made in the past about Chelsea FC.
Loyalty is about supporting Chelsea Football Club and the manager. Without our support, the team's morale will begin to suffer.
To all the Boo Boys who continually chant Robbie's name and to those who continually boo Rafa, I have a message for you - BUGGAR OFF!
You are not real Chelsea fans. You simply have no idea how the red half of London are laughing at us when they see your childish behaviour on MOTD, SKY, CTV or whatever.
You continuing actions make Chelsea a bigger laughing stock than anything Abramovitch can do. Frigging GROW UP and get behind Rafa, Torres and the team - even if they don't deserve it.
Well done, Fritz for supporting Chelsea since you were four years old.
I have only been a Chelsea fan since 1966, and while we are talking age, I am 74. I was a late starter.
In support of the Benitez boo boys, they are allowed to express their view at matches in my book. Not least because they have probably paid between £50 and £60 pounds for their ticket, and are supporting the club with deeds. While we here on the internet only support with our thoughts.
Di Matteo was special both as a player and as a manager. It is right for the fans to honour his name.
I personally don't like what I have seen of Benitez on tv over the years. It is not because he managed Liverpool, it is not because of anything he said then or since. He just is not Blue.
Not yet anyway.
But I have found in life that some of my best friends are people I did not like at first. So, we'll see.
As for what the red half of the Premier league think. Who cares?
This is about passion. That is what football is about. And those expressing their dislike of Benitez are passionate and not disloyal. They are at the games after all.

Where will the goals come from...
Norwich - not a bad performance - and for virtually 90 minutes.
Still a bit ponderous in the final 3rd - and I don't recall Soldado being presented with that many chances.
Where will the goals come from this season? Will Townsend / Paulinho / Chadli / Eriksen / Lamela / Glyfi / Soldado fill the gap left by Dempsey/Bale/(Ade-Daffy)?
So far Townsend seems to like to have a shot or two - whether then that diminishes his role as a provider - and Glyfi has obviously now scored a couple.
Looks like it will be difficult to tell, until AVB decides on which of the players make his main 11 - as I'm still not sure, if Glyfi is going to start with Dembele and Townsend, why we bought 5 midfielders.
Wait and see what evolves over the next few weeks I suppose.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Jlock, I'm not sure your being a tad impatient here. It seems to me that now we have Eriksen threading passes behind the defenders that Soldado should soon start scoring regular. He hit the post with one clever backheel and should of scored with a header. I think Lamela is expected to score a few when he settles, and Paulinho think will reach double figures as the season goes on. At the moment, the season has been stop start, with the internationals, so the players haven't really had much time on the training ground, and it'll probably be November, December before we start to see the understanding develop to a consistant level.
The other point about your " 5 midfielders ". I know they are classed as midfielders, but I count only Paulinho, Capoue as MF and Chadli, Lamela as wingers/widemen and Eriksen as the playmaking no 10. As things stand when all are fit, your got ...Paulinho, Capoue, Sandro, Dembele and Eriksen as any 3 from 5 to start, with 2 as cover, and out wide we have got Chadli, townsend, Lennon, Lamela so any 2 with 2 cover. As with most teams nowadays, we play with a lone striker, so obviously Soldado has been bought as the main man, and Daffy will have to be content with being back-up, and playing in the cup games. As far as Siggy and Holtby are concerned, if the new signings live up to expectations, then they will just be squad members and cup players. I would think, when all available, the starting eleven would be

Personally, I have no idea what selection will ultimately be successful as I have not seen enough of the new players to call it - probably the same as AVB. We know they are good players but that does not mean they will "gel" (I hate that word but....) so we will have to wait and see. The point is - we now have choices whereas last season we didn't. Walker worries me. His positional play when defending is very questionable. Rose is not quite good enough IMO, but apart from that my only worry is AVB. His tactics and team selection are not always inspiring although I am basing that on the "old" squad so I am willing to see what he does now that we have some class players to choose from. If Erikson plays more up alongside Soldado then fine but if we are going to play with one striker we are reliant on the midfielders/wingers getting in the box and we have struggled with that in the past. Time will tell.......
I'm not impatient - as I'm happy to give AVB til the end of this season to judge him and the new boys at least a couple of seasons to see how they fit.
But football today is about results rather than performances, and although I'm happy to wait and see, I doubt that Mr Levy will be happy with spending £100M if we don't improve. And improve in that context isn't just playing prettier/better football. So that would imply to me that CL is a minimum - and that requires goals being scored.
My concern is that time is a luxury - Wenger basically said the same - that changing squads wholesale can be a dodgy thing. And I know you don't think that buying a new midfield and forward line is a scattergun approach, but it's hardly a '...we have an issue there...let's fix that...' type approach. And now to find what 'blends' and works may take time as there are a fair few combinations.
Hopefully, AVB will find the blend in the next few games - and the goals will come from across the team.

GREENWOOD, S.C. – Augusta State improved to 6-0 for the first time in 16 years Saturday afternoon with a 58-53 Peach Belt Conference road win at Lander in Horne Arena.
With the victory, the Lady Jaguars (6-0, 1-0 PBC) snapped an eight-game losing streak to Lander. Previously, ASU's last win over Lander was a 71-66 victory on Feb. 13, 2008 (also in Greenwood). ASU's last 6-0 start occurred during the 1996-97 season.
Junior point guard Tanchelle Hollingsworth drained a 3-pointer from the right wing with 14 seconds left to give the Lady Jags a 56-51 lead. Lander's Jamie Shaw hit a pair of free throws before Hollingsworth drained a pair of her own with three seconds left for the final margin.
Hollingsworth paced ASU with 16 points and senior Taylor Ayers just missed her second double-double with 15 points and nine rebounds. Senior guard Brittany White logged six assists, six rebounds and four steals and junior Jemimah Ashby grabbed eight rebounds.
Lea Saunders tallied a game-high 19 points and 11 rebounds for Lander (1-4, 0-1 PBC). Precious Elkins booked 13 points and 14 rebounds while Shaw posted 11 boards of her won.
The Lady Jags led 44-31 with 10:38 left after a Tiffany Jaecks' jumper. Lander then reeled off a 14-3 run and closed to within two of the lead on two occasions. Elkins canned a pair of free throws at the 5:49 mark to pull LU within 47-45 and Saunders swished a trey from the right baseline with 36 seconds left to cut ASU's advantage to 53-51. After a timeout, Hollingsworth got open on the right wing and her fallaway 3-pointer with :14 left put the Lady Jags up by five.
Despite a 0-for-8 start from the field, ASU led by as many as 18 in the first half when an Ayers' layup capped a 6-0 spurt and put the Lady Jags up 32-14 at the 3:58 mark. Lander scored the final seven points of the half and trailed 34-21 at the break.
ASU shot just 28.2 percent from the field, compared to only 24.6 percent for Lander. The Lady Jags forced went 14-of-17 at the charity stripe and forced 22 turnovers.

The Earthquakes selected Stanford senior Adam Jahn, an imposing target forward, in the first round of Tuesday's MLS Supplemental Draft.
Jahn, 22, who was selected 15th overall, had career bests of 13 goals and 30 points in leading Stanford to third place.
"Oh, it's great," said Jahn, a Davis native, about landing with the Quakes. "I get to stay local around my friends and family and try to play for a team that I know a lot about and I've followed for a long time. I'm really excited about the opportunity."
The 6-foot-3 Jahn, a first-team All-Pac-12 selection, expects to join the Quakes in their preseason camp on Wednesday. He considers Quakes target men Alan Gordon and Steven Lenhart as role models.
"Definitely Lenhart and Gordon are two guys I try to play like. They have big bodies," said Jahn, who has played with the under-18 national team. "I like to think that I have good skill and a soft touch, and I like to be the target guy and connecting play. I think that's a big strength of mine."
The Quakes, who did not have a pick in the second round, nabbed midfielder/forward Colin Mitchell of San Francisco (Oregon State) and defender Peter McGlynn (UC Santa Barbara) in the third and fourth rounds, respectively.

Then, MHS (2-2 overall, 0-1 ECOL) is scheduled to return to the road for a noon, non-conference doubleheader against Vinton County. On the horizon for the orange and black nine is Mark Farr-coached Warren, which is slated to visit the Fairgrounds diamond at American Legion Field at 5 p.m. Monday.

Marietta High lefty Evan Sawyer warms up before a game last season. The senior standout is off to a good start, pitching and hitting.
Hard to believe, but Marietta and Warren didn't face each other in baseball last season due to the inclement weather.
So, what have Thrash and Burke learned so far about their Tiger ballclub in the first four games?
Well, not surprisingly, the MHS pitching, despite the relatively cold temperatures, has been terrific. In four games, only nine opponents have touched home plate.
Last Saturday in Duncan Falls, Evan Sawyer threw out the first pitch of the 2013 compaign when Marietta played and lost to the host Philo Electrics 2-1 in eight innings. The senior southpaw only gave up one unearned run in six innings of work.
Unfortunately, the Tigers must have left their bats back in Washington County, because they went hitless in their season opener.
Thrash was right on the money when he said in the preseason, "It's always nice to have experienced pitching, but we need some people to catch and hit the ball."
Rebounding in a big way, Marietta evened its record at 1-1 with a 9-3 triumph over visiting Alexander on Monday. This time, the Tigers had both pitching and hitting.
Sawyer, who started in left, led the way with a double, two singles and three RBI. Nick Spurr, the right fielder, and Devin Leister, the winning hurler, added two knocks apiece.
Adam McKnight started on the hill, and Leister and and Sawyer, respectively, relieved and kept the Spartans at bay.
Returning to American Legion Field Tuesday, Ben Barnas pitched a two-hitter in a 5-0 Tiger triumph over Athens.
The senior righty went the distance, fanning 12 and walking two.
At Zanesville, the pitching was good again, but it's difficult to win with only one run as the Tigers dropped a 4-1 decision. Sawyer suffered the setback.
New Philadelphia is an important game for Marietta, because it's both the next one and a league tilt. A year ago, the orange and black dropped a 4-1 decision to the host Quakers on a very rainy, muddy diamond in New Philly.
The Quakers (2-2) are coached by Ryan Range and led by returning senior letterwinners' Brennen Flores (2B), Adam Hershberger (SS/P), Dakota Hill (OF/P), Hunter Joseph (C), and Jesse Kandel (CF).
Some others to keep an eye on will be Hunter May, Lance Lebold, Nick Incarnatok, Casey Kinsey, Kyle Kinsey, Mitchell Pape, Cody Meese, Garrett Harstine, and Mike Kamban.
New Philadelphia began the season with a twinbill setback to John Glenn. The Quakers have bounced back and won their last two games, including a 9-2 triumph over St. Thomas Aquinas on Tuesday.
Thrash said he was thinking about starting Barnas again on the mound against New Philly. If he does, McKnight will probably play third base.
Going around the horn, Marietta's other probable starters may be Joe Roberts or Nathan Bryan behind the plate; Austin Hefter, first; Steve Herron, second; Leister, short; Sawyer, left; Nick Lewis, center; and Spurr, right.
A couple of other Tigers to keep an eye on will be Corey Spanner and Mike Ullman.

Continues to lead optical innovation by demonstrating 1Tbps optical transmission at OFC/NFOEC in Los Angeles, California
Builds on the success of a 400Gbps field trial in Spain
4th Generation IP optical technology ensures capacity for The Networked Society
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) will underline its leadership in optical technology with a demonstration of 1Tbps optical transport at OFC/NFOEC in Los Angeles, California. This achievement is a result of Ericsson's continued investment in optical research and innovation, in partnership with the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies and CNIT, Italy's national consortium for telecommunications. Ericsson demonstrated 400Gbps transmission in early 2011 and has recently deployed that technology in a field trial using Telefónica's existing network in Spain.
Phil Winterbottom, Head of Optical & Metro Product Management at Ericsson, says: "This type of innovation is crucial as The Networked Society is demanding higher speed with more connectivity. Not only is this 1Tbps transmission milestone an optical innovation, it leverages technology from Ericsson radio. At Ericsson, one of the things we are able to do is combine our expertise in radio with the underlying transport needs to support an end-to-end vision for our customers that leverages what we're best at."
Attendees at OFC/NFOEC 2012, which takes place from March 4–8 in Los Angeles, California, can visit Ericsson at booth #2017 for a demonstration of this technology and to speak with the innovation experts behind it.

I guess when push comes to shove and apples not falling far from trees, I should admit that meatloaf was not always one of my favorites either. (ohh, the way we bloggers bare our souls!) However, years ago I came across this recipe for mini meatloaves, and I decided to give it another go. I'm not sure if it's the sauce that has me loving this recipe or the fact that I instantly adore all things that are mini, but this has been hubby and kids' favorite for at least the last ten years.
Little Cheddar Meat Loaves
1 TBSP olive oil
1 small onion, diced
2 cups of fresh spinach, chopped
2 cloves of garlic, minced
pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper
2 lbs. lean ground beef (I use Laura's Lean)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup milk
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use 2%)
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup Splenda brown sugar (or 1/2 cup regular brown sugar)
1 Tbsp mustard
In a saute pan, heat olive oil. Add onions and season with salt and pepper. Saute for 5-6 minutes, until onions are translucent. Add spinach and red pepper flakes, if using. Season again with salt and pepper and saute until spinach is wilted. Add garlic and saute for another minute or two.
In large bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Add oats and cheddar cheese. Stir to combine. Crumble ground beef over mixture and mix together with your hands.
Spray a 9X13 baking dish with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients.
Divide meat mixture into 6-8 even pieces, depending on how large you want your mini-loaves. Form into oval loaves and place into prepared pan. Make a small indentation in the middle of each loaf to serve as a sauce receptacle. Divide sauce evenly over loaves and spread it around a bit.
Place pan in oven and bake for 45-50 minutes or until meat thermometer reads 160 degrees.
I usually take the loaves out of the oven, remove from pan, and drain the grease. Then I put the loaves back in the pan and stick it under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the tops of the loaves a little bit more.

OAKLAND -- A federal judge on Monday denied requests to shut down the nation's largest medical cannabis operation, setting up a legal battle later this month between the city of Oakland and federal prosecutors.
In a 17-page order, Chief Magistrate Judge Maria-Elena James found that the landlords of Harborside Health Center "have no right of action" under the federal Controlled Substances Act to force the cannabis dispensary "to cease its operations."
The owner's of Harborside's Oakland and San Jose locations have been trying to evict the dispensary since U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag filed suit last July threatening to seize the properties because they are rented to a business that sells cannabis.
Oakland, which last year received more than $1 million in tax revenue from Harborside, has filed suit against the federal government, challenging the forfeiture action. Attorneys for the city had asked James not to shut down the dispensaries before its challenge was heard.
Federal prosecutors have filed a motion to dismiss the city's case. A hearing on the federal government's motion is scheduled for Jan. 31.
