Pajamas for Dogs: Warm & Comfortable
Have you ever imagined how cute your little dog would look dressed in pajamas for dogs? Not only does this piece of clothing enhance the appearance of your dog, it also keeps the dog cozy and warm on cool nights. You as a human, when you get cold you tend to snuggle under your blankets and at such times, do you give a thought to how your dog may be fairing in the cold weather? In order not to be bothered about this, just get your pet one or more pairs of fleece small dog pjs or the cotton type of pajamas. In talking about the pjs, it is necessary that the puppies are not left out. This is why we stock puppy pajamas which help to keep these little ones warm since they have less fat in their body to keep them warm on cold nights.
You may be wondering how to handle cases of late night potty breaks. You don't have to bother yourself about this since all the pajamas for dogs are designed with open belly to make potty breaks easy without any help from you the dog owner. Giving your dog a great treat of small dog pjs gift will give the dog the opportunity to snuggle up into something at night, making him feel very safe and warm. If for example your dog is the type that likes being snuggled up, you can give him that feeling by dressing him up in his pjs. Your dog is sure to doze off immediately owing to the comfy feeling achieved through the puppy pajamas.
Making a choice of pajamas for dogs might be a little more difficult than you anticipated. Wondering why this is so? Well, it is simply because we stock lots of pajamas that come in various styles, labels, materials and shades. The wide array of small dog pjs is such a hypnotizing sight to behold. There is every possibility that you may even decide to get more sets of pajamas than you intended to, mainly due to the beauty of the pjs. But first, we advise that you make your purchase based on what your pet would be comfortable in, especially in terms of size and fabric.
One unique thing about these puppy pajamas and pajamas for dogs is that they are not expensive. The prices are so low and affordable that you would be wondering why such greatly styled small dog pjs would be sold so cheap. That is our way of saying that we love your pets. For the average income earner, if the price is high, the dog might be denied of such privileges as enjoying the comfort of pajamas. Take a look around and get your dog that pj that would make him feel loved, safe and comfortable.

Lue Morgan Douthit, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival's director of literary development and dramaturgy, has spent 20 seasons at OSF and served as production dramaturg for more than 40 productions, including "The Unfortunates," "Throne of Blood" and "Equivocation." Douthit's presentations are widely known for their understated humor and extraordinary wit. We got together in her office on the OSF campus. This is the first of a two-part column.
EH: What is dramaturgy?
LD: Dramaturgy is the study of dramatic structure. Anything that has to do with how a play is put together is the world of dramaturgy. I happen to be one person that pays attention to that. I'm not the only person that interprets the dramatic architecture of a play. I pay attention to the story to offer advice to a director, actors and designers and to have conversations with audiences.
EH: How much influence do you have in choosing the season?
LD: I am one of many people that (Artistic Director) Bill Rauch consults. Bill is the decider. I help him offering varieties of plays. He is a hands-on administrator and artistic leader, which is kind of fabulous. It all rests on him.
It's crazy to begin to think about a season two seasons ahead, when you have yet to sell one ticket for the next season. We have no idea if we have guessed right about the season to come, and we are choosing for the season beyond that. Yet it takes seven months to choose a season.
In some ways there are some predictable factors, that is, we're going to choose some Shakespeare plays. We will always seriously consider one or two of the commissions from the American Revolutions program. We almost always now also seriously consider a musical. At least every other year we are trying to introduce a component of the Global Classic line into our playbill, like "The Clay Cart" or "Throne of Blood" and "White Snake."
There's a little bit of luck about that — when something comes available, or someone has seen something, or another play is ready from our other commissions, or a director says, "I've got something I would love to do," and Bill says, "Yes."
It's a huge conversation that Bill has with many people on different levels, with many different agendas and points of view. He is amazing in terms of his capacity to hold all of that. And he does it; it's quite remarkable.
EH: Is there a procedure for picking the plays for a season?
LD: There is a process. It's called the Boar's Head process. It's named after the tavern in "Henry IV." Thirty years ago or whenever it was coined, my guess is there were five people and they actually did go to the tavern and decide what the season was. It has grown to be 50 people-plus, which represents every department on campus, including actor representation. All artistic production and administration have representation in the room.
EH: Are there common personality traits for theater people?
LD: I don't think so. One hopes that if you were to go into any art, you're highly aware that it isn't for the money, that feeding the soul is as valuable, if not more. I hope that's true of any job no matter what it is, as long as you're passionate about it and you don't hurt anybody. "You match your passion with the world's greatest need." Isn't that what the philosopher said? "That's going to bring you the best joy." I think it's true.
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival's 2014 season runs through Nov. 2. For tickets and information regarding plays and events, visit www.osfashland.org or call 541-482-4331 or 800-219-8161.
Evalyn Hansen is a writer and director living in Ashland. She trained as an actor at the American Conservatory Theatre and is a founding member of San Francisco's Magic Theatre. Reach her at firstname.lastname@example.com.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Warriors point guard Stephen Curry had it going so much that the Charlotte Bobcats put 6-foot-7 small forward Jeff Taylor on him. But Curry used some fancy dribbling to shake free and drilled a pull-up 3-pointer.
The sparse crowd collectively gasped while Curry strutted at midcourt. The local boy put on a show.
In his only appearance in his hometown this season, Curry led the Warriors to a 104-96 victory Monday. He finished with 27 points, seven assists and seven rebounds.
"When I was his age, I would tell you that it didn't mean anything," coach Mark Jackson said, "(but) I was trying to go murder my home team."
The Warriors (14-7) have won four straight to start the seven-game trip, ensuring their longest trip of the season is a winning one. Golden State hadn't had a winning trip of seven games or more since the 1970-71 season. The 4-0 start to a trip is the team's first since the 1978-79 season.
The Warriors head into Miami seven games over .500, a half-game behind the Los Angeles Clippers for the lead in the Pacific Division.
"This team's never been short on confidence," forward David Lee said after totaling 25 points, 11 rebounds and four assists -- his fourth straight game with at least 20 points and 10 rebounds.
"We've got a group of guys that believe we're going to win every game we play."
Curry played the role of distributor for most of the first half. Golden State came a point shy of its season best for points in a half. Led by Lee's 17 points, the Warriors shot 54.3 percent and led 58-40 at the half.
"The first half was a thing of beauty," Jackson said. "We defended, paid attention to detail and executed. In the second half, we took our foot off the gas pedal on both sides of the basketball."
In the third quarter, Curry heated up. He scored 15 points on 5-of-8 shooting, including three from deep.
The Bobcats had trimmed the Warriors' lead to 65-54 with 8:04 left in the third. But Curry engineered a 16-8 run to push the lead back to 19. Curry scored 11 points during the spurt, including the 3-pointer that led to the celebratory strut and put Golden State ahead 81-62.
"My first years, I had bad cases of the butterflies playing in Charlotte," Curry said. "Seeing a lot of familiar faces, you get kind of riled up for those first one or two times you play at home. This time, I'm more ... I guess you'd call it experienced. Going through the process (Sunday) with my family, being at home, and (Monday) making sure it was business as usual."
Curry has scored 20 or more points in a career-best eight straight games. During the stretch, he is averaging 23 points, 8.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.4 turnovers and 2.0 steals in 39.6 minutes. Most important, the Warriors are 7-1 in those games.
"We came in and worked our tails off and prepared ourselves for this season," Jackson said. "I didn't put any limitations on us. We are 14-7 with eight road wins. We are playing great as individuals and on the group effort. ... It's a wonderful thing when you get a group of guys who are committed, and they are buying in. Nobody wants to let go of the rope."
The Warriors almost let go late in Monday's game. They improved to 11-0 when leading after three quarters, but not before the Bobcats gave them a bit of a scare.
Golden State went nearly four minutes without a field goal in middle of the fourth quarter, allowing the Bobcats to chip away. Lee's tip-in with 5:22 left put Golden State ahead 101-87. But the Warriors didn't make another field goal the rest of the game. They sealed the victory by getting three straight stops in the final minute.
Golden State totaled just 11 points in the fourth quarter on 3 of 19 shooting with eight turnovers.
"You'd like to say since we're up by 20, let's stay up by 20," said backup point guard Jarrett Jack, who finished 3 of 11 but had 12 points, six assists and a career-high five steals. "That's an NBA team over there. They're going to make a run. But we do have to get better at taking care of the ball and playing our game."
Wednesday's game
Warriors (14-7) at Miami (14-5), 4:30 p.m., CSNBA

Suspect fakes heart attack on way to jail, police say
Published: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 8:53 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 4, 2013 at 8:53 p.m.
A Houma man who faked a medical emergency Friday to avoid being taken to jail was foiled Monday when he tried the same ploy again, authorities say.
Charles Thomas Kreyenbuhl, 51, 110 Henderson St., was taken into custody Friday after drivers reported him speeding, swerving in and out of traffic and finally parking in a handicapped zone at Walmart, 1633 Martin Luther King Blvd, Houma, according to a Terrebonne Sheriff's Office report.
Investigators waited at Kreyenbuhl's parked car until he returned from shopping and found him still visibly under the influence of drinking, the report says. But en route to the jail, he told officers he was having a heart attack and was taken to TGMC for treatment.
Minutes after deputies left the hospital, the report says, he walked out of the emergency room without being released.
Early Monday, deputies responding to a disturbance at Kreyenbuhl's residence tried again to take him to jail, only to have him again claim illness, this time requesting treatment at Thibodaux Regional Medical Center, where he again refused treatment.
Deputies, standing by, delivered Kreyenbuhl to the Terrebonne jail, where he was booked on charges of reckless operation, DWI, expired driver's license and a handicapped parking-zone violation.

BRECKENRIDGE - Gathered around a table in the afternoon light at Sevens Restaurant, it would be impossible to detect the violence that marks their collective history.
Most have seen combat, and all have been injured in explosions.
But this week, the dozen or so servicemen specially trained in explosive ordinance disposal (EOD) and one civilian bomb technician who enjoyed a drink at Sevens Wednesday are getting away from all that while reconnecting with one another during the second annual "Return to Adventure" ski retreat in Breckenridge.
"We wanted to do something to bring guys that have been injured back to the life of adventure they knew prior to their injury, to what their new normal is going to be," said Colonel Leo Bradley, commander of an EOD unit, who launched the retreat from overseas last year. "I'm a big believer in the healing power of camaraderie."
The violence of the past isn't visible at the table where the men are gathered with volunteers for a drink and some appetizers after a day on the mountain. But the camaraderie is.
The men spent the week in a lodge owned by the Breckenridge Outdoor Education Center, skiing, ice climbing and getting to know each other. They also have the opportunity to share their experiences with EOD specialists from local units who volunteer to help out during the retreat.
"The junior guys they bring in from the local units, they get our experience," said Sgt. First Class Christopher Millward, an active duty EOD tech who lost his foot in an explosion in Iraq in 2007. "We get to download our epic resumes. As far as the battle field is concerned, these guys really do take a lot away from it."
Bradley started the retreat last year, as the number of injuries from explosives in Afghanistan accelerated.
He missed the first retreat because he was still deployed.
This year they have ramped up the trip, keeping the adaptive skiing and snowboarding lessons through the BOEC and avalanche safety training with Breckenridge Ski Patrol and adding a new adaptive ice climbing adventure and some corporate sponsorships.
"To get these guys out together doing fun outdoor activities allows them to get back into their community of bomb techs," Bradley said. "We're a very tight-knit community of people."
In the military, EOD experts self select for their training and dangerous jobs, creating a small but close group of specialists who bond across branches over their shared expertise.

Sumler rallies Western Carolina past Wofford, 57-56
Catamounts standout drains winning basket with 2 seconds left to cap a 14-6 game-ending run
Published: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 10:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, February 11, 2013 at 10:00 p.m.
CULLOWHEE, N.C. — Trey Sumler finished with a game-high 26 points, including the game-winning jumper with 2 seconds left to rally Western Carolina past Wofford 57-56 on Monday night.
Sumler went 4 of 7 from behind the arc, grabbed a team-high eight rebounds and recorded three steals for Western Carolina (10-15, 7-6 Southern Conference).
"On the final shot, Karl Cochran guarded the fire out of Trey Sumler and had a hand in his face to contest the shot," Wofford head coach Mike Young said. "Sumler is good. He has been around a while and played a lot of basketball and he made the huge shot.
"We deserve better. I thought we outplayed them and we deserved a better fate, but that is the game and they made a couple more plays than we did down the stretch."
Down 50-43 with 7 minutes remaining, Tawaski King's jumper capped a 7-0 run for Western Carolina, tying the game at 50 with 2:25 to play.
After Sumler's 3-pointer with less than 2 minutes to play put the Catamounts ahead 53-52, Cochran answered with a jumper to put Wofford on top 54-53 with 59 seconds remaining.
Sumler responded with a layup to go on top 55-54 but Spencer Collins' jumper put Wofford back ahead 56-55 with just 16 ticks left.
Sumler converted the game-winner on the Catamounts' ensuing possession.
Collins led the Terriers (10-16, 4-9) with 20 points, while Cochran added 19 points. Lee Skinner had a team-high 10 rebounds.
Wofford will play at Samford at 8 p.m. Thursday before returning home on Saturday night when they host Chattanooga at 7 p.m.

It seemed more like the Fourth of July when Hannibalians were waiting for the Hannibal Jaycees' Christmas parade, as they lined Broadway and North Main Street on Saturday, Dec. 1.
The main difference was the time, 6 p.m., which meant the floats and vehicles in the parade required colorful lights.
The temperature was a balmy 62 degrees at 6:30 p.m., when the beginning of the parade arrived at Main and Broadway.
The patiently-waiting crowd was filled with lively children - some in short sleeves - enjoying the summer-like weather. Later they were rewarded by greetings from Santa Claus and by receiving pieces of candy from the people walking the parade route.
The parade, as usual, was formed at Grand Avenue to begin its route down Broadway. The one-hour parade featured floats with the manger scene, costumed walkers, and visits with Santa Claus. They were accompanied by decorated business vehicles, convertibles bearing queens and small groups of young people who just wanted to be in the parade.
Parade participants donated toys, which will be distributed for Christmas by Douglass Community Services. The Hannibal Parks and Recreation Department is working with DCS and the Jaycees in this "Toys for Tots" campaign. Mary Lynn Richards of the Parks and Recreation Department explained all the toys collected will go to local children.

To look at the Internet message boards, the Sacred Heart Prep football team might be better off not even showing up for Saturday's Northern California Division III regional bowl game against El Cerrito at De Anza High in El Sobrante.
The popular sentiment is that the Gators have no chance against an El Cerrito team loaded with speed and athleticism and NCAA Division I-bound talent.
But, what the heck, the Gators figure they might as well show up anyway.
"It's great to have a chance to go show that Sacred Heart Prep, we're legit, we're not a joke," linebacker/running back Ben Burr-Kirven said. "We're going to go up there and whatever happens, we're definitely going to try to go out and get their respect.
"If they beat us, they beat us. But we're not going to roll over and play dead for them. We're going to do everything we can to win the game and go and get a chance at the state championship."
Sacred Heart Prep (12-1) rolled through the Central Coast Section Division IV playoffs, outscoring Seaside, Monterey and Pacific Grove by a combined 125-40. But those teams are not close to being in the class of El Cerrito.
"Probably not," Sacred Heart Prep coach Pete Lavorato said when asked if his team had ever faced anyone with El Cerrito's speed and athleticism. "But we've played some teams that are close. M-A (Menlo-Atherton) has certainly got some pretty good athletes, Terra Nova is also pretty athletic, but not like El Cerrito."
Defense has been the team's strength the last two seasons as the Gators have gone 24-2 and won back-to-back CCS titles. They've allowed nine points per game over those 26 contest. If you ask Lavorato or defensive coordinator Mark Modeste why the defense has been so successful, the answer is always about team speed.
But what happens when you encounter someone with more team speed? El Cerrito (12-2) averaged 53 points per game in four North Coast Section playoff wins.
"They have more team speed than us," Lavorato acknowledged. "For us, it comes down to discipline. It's a matter of coaching our kids, telling them where they need to be. Then when they're there, they've got to make plays. I've got a lot of confidence in our team. This is the best defensive team I've ever had at Sacred Heart Prep."
Containing the explosiveness of the El Cerrito offense, which is led by star running back and UCLA-commit Adarius Pickett, will be the first priority.
The second priority is establishing the run when on offense. Andrew Segre had a career game in the CCS final, rushing for 351 yards and six touchdowns against Pacific Grove.
But there is really no comparison between the El Cerrito defensive front and what the Gators have encountered previously.
"I think we'll have some success, though not as much as against other teams," Lavorato said. "(Segre's) not going to run for 40 or 50 yards a play, but I don't think we'll get out of our game plan. If we only make 2 or 3 yards on a play, that's OK."
Lavorato doesn't look at the message boards, but he's familiar with how his program is perceived. He'd like to follow the example of a close-by college program.
"People look at us and see we're a small school, not a football school, an academic school," Lavorato said. "A good comparison is with Stanford. In the past, Stanford carried the stigma around about not being tough. Well, the last few years Stanford has made it clear that they're tough, too."

Larry Hagman, of 'Jeannie' and "Dallas' fame, dies at 81
Published: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 8:50 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, November 24, 2012 at 8:50 a.m.
Larry Hagman, whose portrayal of one of television's most beloved villains, J.R. Ewing, led the CBS series "Dallas" to enormous world popularity, died Friday in Dallas, where Hagman had been filming the sequel to his famous show. He was 81.
The death occurred at a hospital at 4:20 p.m. and was caused by complications arising from cancer, his family said in a statement.
''Larry was back in his beloved hometown of Dallas, re-enacting the iconic role he loved most," the family said.
For a time in the late 1970s and early 1980s, Hagman could lay claim to the title of most famous actor in the world. "Dallas," a soapy saga of a ranch-owning Texas oil family, the Ewings, was a hit in 57 countries.
Its celebrated signature episode, which resolved the question of "Who Shot J.R.?," a mystery masterfully marketed by the series and CBS, set worldwide viewing records with an estimated 350 million people tuning in for the answer. (Kristen Shepard, the scheming adulterous sister of J.R.'s wife, Sue Ellen, pulled the trigger.) In the United States, the episode reached an estimated 83 million people.
Few actors enjoyed their fame as much as Hagman, who traveled the world handing out fake $100 bills with his face on them.
The rich villainy of J.R. revived Hagman's career after he had become typecast as a lightweight comic actor for his co-starring role in the successful 1960s sitcom "I Dream of Jeannie."
The son of famed Broadway actress Mary Martin, Hagman was born in Fort Worth, Texas, in 1931. He was married to the former Maj Axelsson for 59 years.
When TNT decided to remount "Dallas" with a new generation of Ewings, it invited Hagman to return in his J.R. role. He won numerous plaudits for that reprise, with some critics saying that he remained the best thing about "Dallas." The new version was a success for TNT, which ordered a second season.
When Hagman died, he was surrounded by family and friends, including his longtime co-star and confidante Linda Gray.
''He was the pied piper of life and brought joy to everyone he knew," Gray said in a statement. "I will miss him enormously. He was an original and lived life to the fullest."
In addition to his wife, Hagman is survived by a son, a daughter and five granddaughters.
''Larry's family and close friends had joined him in Dallas for the Thanksgiving holiday," the family said. "When he passed, he was surrounded by loved ones."

I love the modern history that I'm learning about now, but I've always been interested in ancient Egypt for some strange reason.

Congratulations from me too, Cocoa'smom! What a great start! And for me at least, it gets easier!
I lost 1.2 pounds last night. It made me very happy since I did not follow the good health guidelines as well as I should have. But I do stay within my points, whether I eat as well as I should or not. I also used all but 5 of my weekly allowance points. Honestly, I still lose well eating them.

Ski & Snowboard Club Vail is in the last few days of its largest scholarship fundraiser for the year, the Month Long Bring It On, during which athletes in all of the club's disciplines reach out to anyone they know - as well as some they don't know - to raise money to provide any aspiring skiers or snowboarders with the opportunity to pursue their dreams. Last year, 100 kids from SSCV's 500-plus participants, or nearly 20 percent of SSCV athletes, received assistance totaling more than $150,000. The final day for the fundraiser is Jan. 31.SSCV has reached 44 percent of its goal of $50,000. The competitive nature of many of the club's athletes has kicked in, and these remaining few days count. The athlete who raises the most money will secure a scholarship valued at $500 for next year's program. Of course, most of the kids are true-blue gear heads, and the idea of raising $2,000, securing them a GoPro camera to install on their helmets, is a driving force.While most children are reaching out to their nearest relatives and closest friends, some are going a step further. Burke Fancher and Max Timm, athletes in the U-14 alpine program at SSCV, recently forayed into town after training and approached complete strangers to raise money for a cause they feel strongly about. The mission was successful, with the two raising more than $200, $150 of which was made online from one very generous donor who was given the website information. Homemade cookies, as well as a homemade sign, created the second act of kindness from random strangers. Ten-year-old Henry Strauch, a competitive freestyle skier, and 6-year-old Charlie Strauch, an alpine skier, recently handed out cookies and talked about the SSCV scholarships with members of the community. They succeeded in raising $200. "When I started talking to them about the fact that many of their friends in SSCV rely on these scholarships in order to be able to train with the club, they became more intent on reaching out to the community," said the boys' mother, Kim Strauch. The boys learned how to communicate a clear message without relying on anyone else. "I think that the adults were impressed with how the kids communicated what the scholarship fund was," Strauch said. The boys handed out cookies to anyone who would listen to them talk for a minute or two. Ski & Snowboard Club Vail prides itself on the three C's: character, courage and commitment. The Month Long Bring It On fundraiser is intended to enable all kids in our community the opportunity to follow their on-snow dreams and their off-snow development. If you would like to donate to SSCV or learn more about the Month Long Bring It On fundraiser, visit the club's website, www.skiclubvail.org, or make a donation online at www.active.com/donate/monthlongbringiton.

Goodfellows raises more than $7,000 for needy Upstate familys
Published: Wednesday, November 21, 2012 at 11:51 p.m.

Goodfellows continues to make the holiday season brighter for Spartanburg-area families in need of a helping hand.
It is a tradition, begun by the Herald-Journal in 1947 and continued with the help of a generous community, that has touched the lives of tens of thousands of people since that first effort to put food on the tables of families struggling to make ends meet.
Many families are financially strapped, some without jobs and others with government assistance that often falls short of providing all of their needs, including life's greatest necessity — food. Their stories of misfortune have touched the hearts of the Spartanburg community, and with continued support, Goodfellows again will help hundreds of families during the upcoming holidays.
The warmth the Goodfellows mission brings to these hurting families would be missed by many if not for gifts from the heart — gifts that come from all walks of life, including many caring individuals, churches, businesses and civic groups.
It is Goodfellows' goal during the current campaign to again bring holiday cheer to 1,600 families by providing a week's worth of groceries for their tables at Christmastime.
If you would like to join in this community effort, send a tax-deductible donation to Goodfellows, P.O. Box 6237, Spartanburg, 29304. Donations also may be made online at www.GoUpstate.com/Goodfellows and at the Herald-Journal office at 189 W. Main St.
Here are the earliest contributions:
Mr. and Mrs. Steve Horton, in memory of Debbie Horton Edwards — $200
Mary K. Wilborn, in memory of Michael Scott Adams — $25
Benji C. and Kendra L. Mills — $50

BERKELEY -- Day 1 of Cal spring football under coach Sonny Dykes had a different feel and a different pace. And there were fans at Memorial Stadium on Monday afternoon, cheering when Zach Kline or Austin Hinder completed a long pass during scrimmage drills.
"That was fun," said Hinder, a junior from Steamboat Springs, Colo., and one of five scholarship quarterbacks competing for the starting job. "Definitely it was a lot more high-paced. I loved it."
Dykes, whose Louisiana Tech team led the nation in scoring last season, was happy with almost everything he saw, including a crowd of about 150 fans, who braved chilly afternoon temperatures to get a first glimpse of the new era.
Cal's practices under former coach Jeff Tedford generally were closed last season.
"Thought the turnout was good," Dykes said. "I think our players are energized when people come out and watch practice. I hope everybody liked what they saw."
Hinder, redshirt freshman Kline and senior Allan Bridgford shared the snaps during 11-on-11 drills. Dykes said he plans to rotate in others, including highly touted freshman Jared Goff, when the Bears resume workouts Wednesday.
Barely three months after the Bears finished last season with a 3-9 record, Kline said the atmosphere was refreshing.
"It's a different team, that's for sure. These guys are fired up, ready to go," he said. "As you saw, we have no pads on, and guys were hitting the turf.
"I was really glad to see the enthusiasm and guys coming out and wanting to play football today."
Here are three priorities for Cal during spring workouts:
The Bears will move as quickly in workouts as they will during games, with more reps and less verbal interruption by the coaches as they become comfortable.
"It'll look terrible at first," Dykes predicted. "It's not going to look like poetry in motion. Hopefully by the end of it, you say, 'These guys have a chance to be a pretty good football team.' "
"The whole key is being consistent," Dykes said. "The 3-yard completion, if the ball is thrown in the right spot at the right time, it results in a big play. If it's not thrown in the right spot at the right time, then you get a lot of 3-yard completions."

Cross-Country Coaches
Coach Mike Sullivan
Now in his 11th year as head coach of the Skyhawks' cross-country program, Mike Sullivan of Dixon continues to build a powerhouse running program at Sauk with more than 30 years of cross-country coaching experience to his credit.
As head cross-country coach at Sterling High School from 1971 to 1997 and again in 2001, Sullivan led his teams to six conference championships, two regional titles, one sectional title, a 8th place finish in state in 1984 and a 10th place finish in state in 1979.
One of his coaching philosophies is to bring athletes along at their own pace and ability to help avoid injury and discouragement.
Sullivan says this philosophy has worked well for him coaching in his eight years at Sauk where he has had 35 Skyhawks qualify and compete in NJCAA national meets.
Sullivan, who retired from SHS in 2002 as a full-time instructor, served as athletic director from 1997 to 1999 and taught cooperative work training from 1999 to 2002. He was also an instructor of auto mechanics and cooperative work training at the Whiteside Area Career Center from 1968 to 1996. Sullivan holds a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education from Southern Illinois University.
Assistant Coach Mitch Saad
In his first season as the assistant coach of the Skyhawks' cross country team, Mitch Saad of Sterling looks to incorporate his athletic and coaching experience into the already successful running program. After competing in track and field for NCAA Div. III Greenville College, Saad has coached track and field at the high school level for four seasons, taking several athletes to the state meet. He looks forward applying his understanding of running to Sauk Valley's cross country program and increasing his knowledge of the sport.
Saad is a 2004 graduate of Erie High School, a 2008 graduate of Greenville College with a B.S. in Accounting and a B.S. in Business Management, and a 2009 graduate of John Brown University with an M.A. in Youth and Family Ministry. He is currently the Director of Youth Ministries at New Life Lutheran Church in Sterling. From 2010-2012 he coached track and field at Dunlap High School in Peoria before moving to Sterling and coaching at Rock Falls High School.

Couscous With Butternut Squash and Spinach
I had a difficult time keeping myself from eating this entire dish in one sitting. This was partly because I've been really monitoring my grain intake this week, but mostly because the combination of flavors just reached out and called to me like an overzealous telemarketer with replacement windows. Couscous, roasted butternut squash and fresh baby spinach are lovingly kissed with cumin, curry and citrus to create a wonderful salad that is a meal in itself. I have enjoyed this both cold and at room temperature. It's delicious either way.
Curried Couscous With Roasted Butternut Squash and Spinach
1/2 butternut squash
2 TBSP plus 2 tsp olive oil, divided
1 tsp cumin
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 1/4 cup instant whole wheat couscous
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 TBSP curry powder
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar (I used Splenda)
1 1/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup orange juice
2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped
2 green onions, green part only, thinly sliced
2 TBSP fresh lemon juice
3/4 cup toasted pecans, coarsely chopped
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil. Peel butternut squash and scoop out seeds. We'll only be using half of the squash so if you're not going to roast the entire squash, cover other half with plastic wrap and refrigerate for further use. Dice squash into 3/4" cubes. Place squash into a bowl and drizzle with two tsp of olive oil. Stir to coat. Season with salt, cumin and cayenne pepper. Stir again to evenly coat squash with spices. Place squash on prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Roast in oven for 30-35 minutes, until fork tender, stirring after 15 minutes so squash cooks and browns evenly. Remove from oven and set aside.
Stir the couscous, cranberries, salt, sugar and curry powder together in a heat-proof bowl. Add boiling water and orange juice. Stir well and cover with plastic wrap. Set aside for five minutes then uncover and fluff with fork. Stir in the remainder of the olive oil, lemon juice, spinach, green onions and pecans. Gently fold in butternut squash. Serve warm, cold or at room temperature.

They look like jewels in the couscous.
I treated myself to a bottle of colorful couscous which is beautiful. That with your "jewels" would be striking.
That said, it is striking, right now and has my favorite foods.

LOVE this! Its so pretty. I could make it and not tell Grumpy I was putting curry in it but as soon as I did he would know and refuse to eat it. Still, looks like something that would be great for me to take to lunch or have when Grumpy's not home. (he doesn't like the smell of curry when I use it :(

10 Ways to Burn More Calories Just By Sitting
Who needs the gym when you can do these sneaky moves and lose weight with almost no effort?
Abs: Lean slightly back in your chair and lift your feet off the floor with straight legs at a 45 degree angle, then bend your knees toward your chest and shoot them back out to the starting position; do this for 3 sets and 20 reps, to burn up to 75 calories, says Kristin McGee, a celebrity fitness trainer. Another idea is to fully exhale, then squeeze in the stomach as much as possible, and hold the position for 5 to 8 seconds to feel your ab muscles "glued" to the spine; two sets of 8 reps will burn up to 100 calories, says Amir Pozderac, founder of Executive Fitness Consulting. Beyond the burn, a strong core also supports posture, promotes better breathing, and makes you look leaner.
Legs: For inner thighs, squeeze a mini exercise ball for 10 seconds in 3 sets of 20 reps, three to five times a week, to burn up to 75 calories a day, says McGee. For quads, Linda Cheek, MD, a Virginia physician, suggests "marching in place," in a seated position, by raising and lowering each bent leg. Work 5 minutes on each leg, and you'll burn 35 calories for 10 minutes total.
Rear: Sammie Kennedy, certified personal trainer and creator of the DVD "Booty Camp Fitness Ultimate Home Edition 2," suggests holding glutes tight for 5 seconds, then releasing, for 10 reps; do one set per office hour, to burn up to 35 calories. Squeezing glutes on alternating sides -- left for five seconds, right for five, for 10 to 20 reps each, will create circulation on your backside, too. Strong glutes do more than make you look good: studies often find a correlation between weak glutes and bulging or herniated disks.

Warm-up continues today with record high temperatures; expect a cool front Sunday
Update, 3:20 p.m. According to the National Weather Service, it was 87 degrees at D/FW Airport. that means we've broken the previous record of 86 degrees.
Update, 2:05 p.m. The National Weather Service just tweeted that we have tied the Nov. 2 high temperature of 86 degrees at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport at 1:32 p.m.
Original post:
North Texas is flirting with an all-time high temperature today as the mercury rises into the high-80s this afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
If we reach 90 degrees, it would be the first time in recorded history in November in North Texas, said meteorologist Dan Shoemaker. We'll keep an eye on that today.
Today's high is expected to be about 88 degrees, which would break a record for Nov. 2 — 86 degrees, set in 2008. That's a full 10 degrees above the high from last Nov. 2.
Yesterday's high of 88 tied a 1945 record. Today, those warm, dry southwest winds will be at about 10-15 mph. Tonight's low should be in the mid-60s, with clear skies.
"We'll start getting humidity back, with some moisture on Saturday," Shoemaker said. There's a small chance of thunderstorms, and a high of about 84 degrees and a low in the high-50s in the forecast.
A weak front will move through Sunday bringing lows down to the mid-50s and a high of about 73.
Shoemaker said after this weak front, you can expect another warm-up next week.
(On a related note, don't forget to set your clocks back before bed Saturday night; Daylight Saving Time ends.)

In the event of a work being known by two separate names, then a redirect should point towards the page where the work was first uploaded.
In the case that a name is ambiguous, for example in Ravel's Ballet "Daphnis et chloé", where the composer produced both a full Ballet score and two Suites, the redirect should point to the main work, and links should be placed on that page to enable access to the suites without having to search for them directly.

STANFORD -- Like many of their peers, the Stanford coaches typically spend several days each offseason visiting NFL staffs to exchange ideas and talk philosophy.
In 2013, for instance, the offensive coaches headed to Atlanta while the defensive staff went to Pittsburgh to learn from legendary coordinator Dick LeBeau, creator of the zone blitz.
This year, Stanford didn't spend nearly as much on airfare. The offensive staff stayed home because of busy schedules, while defensive coordinator Lance Anderson and his assistants made the short trip to 4949 Centennial Dr. in Santa Clara.
"We run the same stuff they do," Anderson said. "Really, there's not a better place to go."
49ers defensive coordinator Vic Fangio worked with Anderson during Fangio's only season at Stanford, in 2010. The system he installed -- it's loaded with well-disguised blitzes and stunts -- remained in use during Derek Mason's three years in charge of the Cardinal defense.
When Anderson was promoted in January, he stuck to the script, albeit with tweaks to suit the current roster. He spent time with Fangio to determine whether the 49ers were using techniques or plays that could help the Cardinal bolster its existing playbook.
"We've incorporated a handful of new calls," Anderson said. "It's been good for us. We've gone through our base stuff, and now we're adding some new things."
The senior is Stanford's top returning receiver and an All-America kick returner.
Asked if Montgomery could miss the Week 2 showdown against USC, Cardinal coach David Shaw said: "The way he's practicing right now, I would hope not. But those aren't football coaches' discussions. Those are doctors discussions."
"We're going to put guys in some tough situations," Shaw said. "I'd love for the film to tell us what to do. I don't want to guess."
Kelsey Young, who appeared to have a slight edge for the starting job, has missed several practices with an ankle injury but is expected to be ready for the season opener.
Barry Sanders, Ricky Seale, Christian McCaffrey and Remound Wright are also candidates for the rotation, in whatever form it ultimately takes.
"We're all anxious to see what happens," Sanders said. "Coach has challenged us all to be better pass protectors."

Seder Plate
One shank bone, one roasted egg, one tablespoon of fruit paste, one horseradish root, one leaf of romaine lettuce, and one large sprig of parsley. This may sound like a list of ingredients for an unsuccessful experimental soup, but these are the symbolic foods (give or take the regional variations) discussed at length during the ritual seder meal, held during the Jewish holiday of Passover. Passover is a spring festival commemorating the liberation of the ancient Hebrews from slavery in Egypt. At the seder meal, each symbolic food has a designated place on the seder plate and becomes a focal point during the evening, acting as an impetus for discussion.
This contemporary seder plate has an additional recess for an orange, marking a new custom which has found growing popularity in the last decades. The origin of the orange on the seder plate is unknown, but it seems that Susannah Heschel, a leading Jewish feminist scholar, was the first to pass a tangerine around her seder table. The seeds of homophobia were then spat out in solidarity with homosexuals. The inclusion of a tasty citrus fruit expressed the rich contributions of homosexuals and women to Judaism, as well as their historical exclusion.
The custom took off—minus the spitting—particularly in feminist circles. As with all the symbolic Passover foods, the orange is open to personal interpretation, but it has generally come to represent those who have been marginalized in society in the past and the continuing struggle for equality today.

SEC Nominee Has History as Corporate Friend and Foe
Mary Jo White, President Barack Obama's nominee for Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission, is best known for prosecuting terrorists and mobsters, but she also has a long record of interactions with companies as both antagonist and champion.
If Ms. White's nomination is confirmed, it would mark the first time a former prosecutor takes the helm of the investor protection agency – which as WSJ notes, would send a tough message to Wall Street. Ms. White would lead an agency whose top priority remains enforcement, but that will also oversee an intense period of rulemaking in the aftermath of the financial crisis.
From 1993 to 2002 Ms. White served as U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York – a period when securities fraud indictments tripled in that office. But she also spent the last decade defending companies and executives, and has even served on the board of directors of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange after leaving the U.S. attorney's office.
This would not be her first opportunity to leave her mark on regulatory matters. As U.S. attorney Ms. White was an architect of the now-common deferred prosecution agreement,to essentially put companies on probation while negotiating fines with the U.S. government. She personally negotiated one of the first such agreements with Prudential Securities in 1994, eventually reaching a $330 million settlement.
In several interviews over the years, Ms. White has said she felt the government's prosecution of Arthur Andersen went too far, and tends to favor approaches that let companies take responsibility for wrongdoing, but does not cripple them.
At the same time she's shown a willingness to go after corporate executives. In 2001, she brought an indictment against former top executives at Aurora Foods Inc., who were charged with an earnings management scheme that led to $80 million of phony reported profits. Several executives eventually pled guilty to securities counts.
But in her defense career as head of Debevoise & Plimpton's litigation department, Ms. White has often defended executives in the midst of crises. Her clients included former Bank of America CEO Kenneth Lewis, J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley's board of directors. Independent directors of News Corp., owner of Dow Jones & Co. which publishes The Wall Street Journal, hired her in 2011 during the company's U.K. phone hacking scandal, and she was hired to run an internal investigation into federal bribery and corruption allegations at Siemens.
Ms. White would join at a very busy time for the SEC, which is coming off a record number of enforcement cases over the last few years, and will be pursuing tips flowing in from its new Office of the Whistleblower. It also still has considerable rule-making stemming from the JOBS Act and Dodd-Frank. Already there's some push-back on new rules for disclosures of conflict minerals and oil and gas industry payments.
Her husband, John White, headed the SEC's division of corporation finance under former Chairman Christopher Cox from 2006 to 2008, but now advises companies on their reporting obligations at law firm Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP. Ethics rules would likely keep her from working on matters involving companies represented by her husband.

ANTIOCH -- Crajon Menefee's four rushing touchdowns and Jamal Lockett's 90-yard kickoff return in the third quarter helped the Pittsburg High football team fend off host Deer Valley 42-29 in Bay Valley Athletic League play Friday.
Pittsburg (5-3, 2-1 BVAL) scored on all four of its first half possessions and ran for 346 yards in the game, 295 of those yards coming in the first half as it built a 28-14 halftime.
Deer Valley (6-2, 2-1) trimmed the lead to seven with a 10-play, 70-yard drive, capped by a 1-yard run from Alex Estrada. The key play on the drive was a 25-yard quarterback scramble by Nsimba Webster on a third down and 12.
Webster led the Wolverines with 173 yards rushing to go with 295 yards passing and three touchdowns.
On the ensuing kickoff, Lockett would return it 90 yards to put Pittsburg back up 35-21 with 6:21 remaining in the quarter.
"That was a huge play to get back momentum," said Pittsburg head coach Victor Galli, noting that Lockett also had a 53-yard run to set up a Pirates score just before halftime. "I think that really took the wind out of their sails."
Lockett had 87 yards rushing for Pittsburg. Harris Ross led the Pirates with 178 yards on the ground, Menefee had 73.
After trading punts, Deer Valley drove 57 yards to the Pittsburg 15 before Daniel Carter picked off a Webster pass at the 6 with 7:24 left in the game, returning it 19 yards.
"Our defense really stepped up and made plays when we had to," Galli said.
Menefee would score his fourth touchdown six plays later to give Pittsburg a cushion.
Galli said the team came back hungry after losing a heartbreaker last week at home to Freedom, 49-48.
"Our guys were disappointed after last week and really stepped up and came out with a lot of confidence and ready to play," Galli said.

NeoOffice is a fully-featured set of office applications (including word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing, database, and macro functionality) for Mac OS X. It can import, edit, and exchange documents with other popular office programs such as Microsoft Office.
NeoOffice is focused on making OpenOffice.org a better Mac OS X citizen, with dozens of standard Mac features not found in OpenOffice.org or LibreOffice.
Required OS: 10.8

How can a program use 60% of CPU (on 1.8 G5 with 1.5 GB ram) for 10+ seconds just to shut down?
Yeah, it's big and a bit slow, but NeoOffice has everything an end-user like myself could want - and it's stable (I get really twisted when I have to force quit some app when the inspirational juices are flowing). I use it for high-end desktop publishing of brochures; there are a lot of premium apps out there, and maybe some can produce "better" results (you'd have to prove it to me) - but this one is free, which makes the premiums kinda shabby before the comparisons even start. I second "haleakalari" on this app, as I am a recent refugee from thralldom to Redmond (Hey, dudes, like Cupertino rules, man).
While they've updated the program with new icons which makes it much nicer to look at, it's still a bloated resource hog and it takes up over a 100mbs. For a text editor, spreadsheet editor, etc?
I thought open source software was supposed to be lighter (memory-wise) and more tightly coded?
Although I use OO daily, I dread opening or closing a document in it (on a new MacBook). It's slow & it drags everything else on the system with it -- one of the few programs that can make the whole computer unresponsive.
I fell in love with OpenOffice.org years ago on Windows. When I switched to Mac, I was horribly disappointed with OpenOffice.orgâs X11 offering. I longed for the performance and simplicity of OpenOffice.org on Windows or Linux. Finally, in the latest editions of NeoOffice, OpenOffice.org comes of age on the Mac. It loads quickly, responds well, and has all the goodness of OpenOffice.org wrapped in a beautiful Mac package. Not perhaps as Mac-like as some apps, and certainly not as quick at loading documents. Nevertheless, I couldn't ask for a better Mac office suite.
back on my windows machine i moved from ms office to star office and eventually settled on openoffice, which is what i stuck with until i switched to mac. when i heard there was an aqua/native port of openoffice for mac, thought was not even required, this was pure reflex, i downloaded, mounted and installed neooffice right away. on windows openoffice was an amazing discovery, even at 1.1.5, it became the replacement for all previously used office software. on mac, it is all about neooffice. with the latest version, launch time is shorter and yesterday i was even able to open and export a huge excel file, literally tens of thousands of rows and columns. it opened and rendered without error, i saved it as an open document spreadsheet file without error and exported it to xhtml, without error. this excel file was over 15 megabytes large and there was no data loss or problems in display when viewing the open document spreadsheet version or the xhtml version! i mean, really... all you need when it comes to office software on your mac, is neooffice.
The best free office suite you can get for Mac OS X. Yes, it is slow to start, and I use AbiWord if I just need to preview a .doc file. However, it is as robust as OpenOffice/MS Office.
The interface gets nicer and nicer looking with each major version. Functionally, it is pretty much on par with the standard Office suite. (I prefer the single large window with integrated toolbar to the standard AppleWorks/Office for Mac 2004 style floating toolbar/inspector.)
Be sure to get the latest Aqua 2.1 version, it has many improvements!
Kristarella is right. This is really slow when it is launched.
But let's not forget that this is a "heavy" application (377.1 megabytes) and that it includes all options (word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, etc.) within the same window.
Microsoft Office, on the other way, has separate applications for each task.
But I also agree that NeoOffice is a great piece of software.
It's the slowest program to start up on my computer but otherwise works pretty well. Way better to run native under OS X than to run OOo under X11.

OAKLAND -- A man was shot to death inside an East Oakland apartment Wednesday afternoon, police said.
The man's name or age were not released. Police said they believe the victim didn't live at the apartment but may have been visiting.
The shooting happened about 2:30 p.m. in the 2000 block of 16th Avenue, which is a residential street between East 21st Street and San Antonio Way. He died of his wounds at the scene.
Police were searching for two men seen running from the scene after the shooting.
Officials don't have a motive yet and no arrests have been made.
The killing is Oakland's 10th of the year.
Oakland police guard the perimeter at 16th Avenue and East 20th Street as others investigate the scene of a homicide that occurred inside an apartment building at 16th Avenue and 21st Street in Oakland, Calif., on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 2013. A man was shot inside the building and police were looking for two suspects who fled on foot. It is the city's 10th homicide of the year. (Jane Tyska/Staff) (JANE TYSKA)

The New York Jets were moving forward with their search for a new general manager, with 49ers executive Tom Gamble appearing to be the front-runner to replace Mike Tannenbaum.
Gamble, the 49ers' director of player personnel, met with the Jets over the weekend. He also canceled a second interview with Jacksonville and postponed a meeting with San Diego for its G.M. vacancies, according to published reports.
New York also spoke with Atlanta director of player personnel David Caldwell this weekend.
The Jets were still expected to interview Marc Ross, the New York Giants' director of college scouting, and in-house candidate Scott Cohen, the team's assistant G.M. under Tannenbaum. The meeting with Ross will satisfy the NFL's "Rooney Rule," which mandates that teams must interview at least one minority candidate for front-office and head coaching jobs.
But Gamble seemed to have the clear edge as of Sunday night.
ESPN reported Sunday, according to sources, that Gamble told the Jaguars he wasn't taking a second interview for their vacancy so he could concentrate on the Jets. NFL Network also reported that Gamble rescheduled a meeting with the Chargers, fueling speculation that New York might be moving close to a deal.

Hi guys,
keep up the good work. Could you add a "remove" button that just removes / uninstalls an app - maybe into the drop down menu (right click on app name)
It looks very cool !
But there is a OOPPS for me : I cannot use AppFresh with iUSETHis because of an error : IUseThis Credential invalid. (connection data are correct, of course !)
Don't know if the problem come from IUSeThis or AppFresh...
This program has tons of promise, but I still prefer the simple "Application Update" widget. AU isn't as feature rich but it's bulletproof. I'll be back to check on AppFresh soon as I'm sure it's on its way to being a solid app..
Very great app. The only issue I got with it is about Apple's softwares. Many shows users count, but with an "Add" button. Some others doesn't even display users counter.
First let me say I find your program very promising. But I encountered a problem with the Big Bang Board Games included with my MacBook: even when I group the individual applications and change the iUseThis identifier to "Big Bang Board Games" the group or individual programs show as "Not listed on iusethis.com".
Hmmm... ClamXav found Exploit.URLSpoof.gen in ~/Libary/Application Support/AppFresh/PersistentStore.sqlite on my system.
Every time I scan the applications, it finds another copy of front-row. Also, some applications like DVD Player and iPhoto show how many people use it, but I only have the option to "add" the application, even though I've registered them to my profile.
Great and invaluable app, but still got some bugs to work out. Keep on working on developers!
@hbokh please update to 0.7, this problem has been fixed
Updates don't work anymore. Something is downloaded somewhere, but nothing really happens at all...
dbreunig, please update to AppFresh 0.6.3, which fixes this problem. You can also recover your Desktop contents from the Trash.

After spending months trying to hash out the final details of the contract with the Minnesota Historical Society, the Redwood County Board of Commissioners officially accepted a grant from the Minnesota Historical and Cultural grants program in the amount of $32,000.
The funds being granted to the county are from the legacy funding collected by the state as part of sales tax on good purchased.
The acceptance of the grant moves the project forward for which the dollars are being granted – the rehabilitation of the swayback bridge in Ramsey Park.
As part of the agreement, the county approved a 20-year maintenance agreement. One of the stipulations of the grant from the county perspective is having the City of Redwood Falls also sign the agreement in the event the turnback of the road running through the park and the swayback bridge to the city.
The county also received good news from the state, as Willy Rabenberg, county highway engineer, held in his hand a signed copy of the bridge plans which were signed by the state bridge engineer. A few more signatures are required, but once those have been secured the project could go out for bids, Rabenberg speculated that process could be done as soon as the next meeting which is in early February.
In other action during its meeting, the county board:
• Approved an adjusted abatement agreement with Ponderosa Properties Dev-elopment. The new agreement is for four years instead of five.

Outfitted with the safest child restraint system (the 5-point harness system), the My Little Seat will secure even the most energetic tots. A travel highchair prevents that awkward moment in restaurants and when visiting family, friends or neighbors when it's time to eat and your child doesn't have a safe, clean seat.

- Grows with your child! Suitable from approximately 6 months (when baby can sit up alone unassisted) to 35 lbs.
- My Little Seat folds up to fit compactly in your bag. It's no larger than the size of a diaper.
- The perfect solution for restaurants, coffee shops, backyard barbecues, using on holiday, at Grandma & Grandpa's house, when visiting friends who don't have children or when visiting un-baby friendly places.
- Also great for use at home, replacing the need for a large, bulky high chair.
- Easy to use! Simply attach to your chair, and secure your baby in the harness. It only takes seconds to set up.
- Designed for use with all styles of standard-sized chairs, the My Little Seat fits over both round & square back chairs.

- Comes with its own matching carry bag.
- My Little Seat is completely washable. You'll never be without a clean seat for baby again.
We wouldn't recommend anything less than the best!

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Monday, April 15, 2013
HEPHZIBAH, Ga. (WRDW) -- For one family, it was the perfect father-son gift until Erik Hanson realized the badge he bought didn't exist.
"I was pretty angry. He was irate. My dad had flown all the way in from Hawaii," Hanson said.
What was supposed to be a day of golf pros and pimento cheese sandwiches turned into a major disappointment for Hanson and his father.
Instead of enjoying the green grass at Augusta National, someone else was enjoying Hanson's green after he paid more than a thousand dollars for a Masters badge he never got.
"Around November I saw the post on Craigslist with tickets that were cheap but not suspiciously cheap," he said.
So, Hanson contacted the guy, but he didn't stop there. Before handing over any money, Hanson says he looked into the guy that had posted the ad.
"His company had been incorporated for several years, there were no scam reports, he had a LinkedIn page, his company had a Facebook page. Everything seemed to check out," he said.
Hanson says they stayed in contact through the weeks leading up to the tournament, exchanging e-mails confirming their deal. He even received a signed contract from the person who posted the ad.
"Got the signed one from him, signed mine, sent it back and sent the money," he explained.
The deal was done -- or so he thought.
"I called him two days before the day I was actually supposed to pick up the tickets, and it went straight to his voicemail box which was full," he said.
So he went back to Craigslist and found this: "Typed in his name and scam and Craigslist posts up about a Masters ticket scam. That's when I found out that it was multiple people that were now reporting this same person."
Detectives in Ballwin, Mo., confirmed there is an investigation regarding the Craigslist scam. It's in Missouri because the person who posted the ad lives there.
At this point, details are still limited because it is an open investigation. The police department says the FBI is also assisting.
