The tone was set in Saturday's Pioneer Football League game between Dayton and host Stetson in the first 17 seconds.
That was how long it took for the Hatters (1-5, 0-3) to receive the opening kickoff at Spec Martin Memorial Stadium, fumble on the first play of the game, and for Dayton (4-2, 2-1) to score on its first offensive play.
The rest of the opening quarter followed a similar script, with the Hatters finding little success on the offensive side of the ball, and the Flyers scoring in a matter of seconds after getting their hands on it. With little exception, that would be the case of the rest of the half as Dayton built a big lead and then coasted to a 49-20 victory.
"The first two plays is certainly not how we had it figured to start out, getting a fumble, and then giving up a play on a long run where we didn't get in our gaps on our stunt," Hatters coach Roger Hughes said. "Even with that done, we have to find ways to bounce back. Not every game is going to go perfectly and you have to find a way to weather the run by the other team, and then put your game plan together and get going. We did not do that."
In the first quarter alone, Stetson managed just 36 total yards and two first downs, while Dayton needed just 15 plays to produce 242 yards and four touchdowns while using just 5:17 off the clock. Just 49 seconds into the second quarter the Flyers added another score, putting Stetson in a 35-0 hole.
Hughes said the early defensive play was especially disheartening.
"I work on the offensive side during the game, and when I came back from making adjustments with the receivers, they were scoring every time," Hughes said. "Honestly I did not see the first four series on defense at all. Clearly it is not the type of defense we wanted to play. We were not able to stop the run.I don't know what that was, I will have to go back and look at the film. Frankly it was a little disheartening to stand up and it was time for a kickoff return again."
At that point, the Hatters showed some life. The Stetson defense had three consecutive possessions where they stopped the Flyers, twice forcing punts and, in between, getting an interception by Chris Atkins to set Stetson up at the Dayton 40 yard line.
With Jonathan Jerozal in at quarterback in the second quarter, the Hatters needed just four plays, highlighted by a Jerozal pass to Mike Yonker for 18 yards to the Dayton 6. Jerozal then did the rest himself, running in for a touchdown with 5:55 left in the half.
Atkins said that in those first crucial minutes of the game the Hatters were playing flat, emotionally.
"We just were not clicking," Atkins said. "Offense and defense were not clicking. We came into the game with no emotion. It just felt weird. Nothing was clicking. The plays we were running in practice to perfection were not clicking. Defensively and offensively, it was just a struggle for the first 10 minutes of the game.
"It was a team thing. It is something that is unexplainable. The first 10 minutes of the game, we were trying to get the energy but it wasn't coming. Everyone was just flat."
Stetson had a chance to end the half on a high, having moved into Dayton territory before Jerozal's pass over the middle was deflected and intercepted by Ryan Schwenke, who returned the pick 28 yards to the Hatters 30.
The Flyers' quick strike offense went back to work there, needing just 21 seconds to cover the 30 yards, the final 17 on the second TD run of the half by defending PFL Offensive Player of the Week Connor Kacsor with 24 second left until halftime.
"I asked the coaches at halftime whether to flip out or stay positive, and one one of the coaches said don't forget they are all freshmen," Hughes said. "I always forget they are all freshmen. We are half way through the season now and we shouldn't be making all the mistakes."
After Dayton extended its lead to 49-7 late in the third with short TD drive that was set up by a long punt return into Stetson territory, the Hatters kept fighting. It was the Stetson defense that especially stepped up, holding the Flyers to just 109 yards of total offense, and that one score, after intermission.
"I am pleased with the fact that our kids didn't give up," Hughes said. "I am pleased with the fact that we hung in there and hung in there, and finally we got a break offensively. I am not so sure that Dayton did not lose a little focus when the game was out of hand, so I don't have any illusions that we were going against their first team, but by that standpoint I was proud of the effort."
The Hatters were able to convert a big play of their own midway through the final stanza when Tentler connected with Mike Yonker for a 58-yard gain. On the next play, the Chicago native found Devon Garnett for an 11-yard TD strike.
Stetson's defense forced a Dayton punt on the next possession used another big play to find the end zone. Tentler through a swing pass to Jerami Singleton, who then raced 59 for a touchdown. That marked the longest play of the year for the Hatters.
Statistically, the Hatters finish with 308 yards of total offense, including 213 passing yards. Tentler completed 11-of-18 passes for 173 yards and two scores while Jerozal completed 4-of-12 for 40 yards with a pair of interceptions. The two quarterbacks were also the leading rushers for Stetson, with Tentler gaining 33 yards on eight carries while Jerozal gained 29 on six, including a touchdown.
Kacsor led Dayton's 261 yard ground attack with 128 yards on 22 carries and he scored three of the Flyers' six rushing touchdowns. Rob Washington rushed for 61 yards on just four carries and scored twice while quarterback Will Bardo carried the ball eight times for 41 yards and a score.
Bardo passed for 164 yards, completing 7-of-13 attempts with one touchdown and one interception.
On defense, Ryan Powers was the leading tackler in the game, recording eight stops for the Hatters while also being credited for a pass breakup. Chris Beaschler led Dayton with seven stops.
The Hatters will now enjoy an off week from varsity competition, but will fill the time with a pair of junior varsity games. Those JV games will be played at the Athletics Training Center each of the next two Monday's, first against Webber International on October 14 at 5 p.m. and then against Jacksonville on Oct. 21 and 5:30 p.m.
The Stetson varsity will return to action on Oct. 26 when the Hatters travel north to face the Red Foxes of Marist in Poughkeepsie, NY.

FurCons (aka Furry conventions) are social interactions among furry fandom members—people who are interested in anthropomorphic and fictional characters with human characteristics. At the conventions, fans exchange ideas and information, buy merchandise (i.e. paintings/drawings), and participate in entertainment and recreation (i.e. friendly competitions/games).
Hey (name), you going to the FurCon this year?

Can you define these popular missing words?
Convention where furries meet, these furcons do not always include yiffing and other sexual related activities.
No example available for the word furcon -.
Beküldő: Alexasdsadfgertsg 2009. január 14.
A Furcon is something to be avoided at all costs if you are A) sane or B)not batshit crazy. A furcon is a gathering (usually in a hotel or convention hall) of Furries. A furcon is like a giant meeting of the depraved and sickly individuals of America. The normal activites for a furcon include, but are not solely limited to: Yiffing, finding real animals to anthropomorphise, finding real animals to have sex with, and talking to each other about how everyone else in the world is retarded and insane for being mean to furries. for example, they might say something like this: "i mean, really, my relationship with my housecat is my own business, and i think hissing and scratching is toonces way of telling me he likes it. people shouldn't put furries down for stuff like this! they are mean!"
"yiff yiff yiff at the upcoming furcon! featuring fabulous prizes like a new domesticated animal!"

MACON, Ga. - The Stetson men's basketball team's (15-16) 2012-13 season came to an end at the hands of Florida Gulf Coast (23-10) in the Atlantic Sun Conference Semifinals Friday night. The Hatters fell to the Eagles by a score of 72-58 at Hawkins Arena, as FGCU kept Stetson from reaching its first A-Sun Final since 1994.
"We're disappointed," Stetson head coach Casey Alexander said following the loss. "I have to give Florida Gulf Coast a lot of credit. They just played better than we did, and we never really could get into a rhythm. When we had to have stops down the stretch to stay in it, I guess fatigue took over or something, but we didn't get it done."
For two of the top scoring teams in the league, this one got out to an extremely slow start as the Hatters and the Eagles were tied at 8-8 through 10 minutes of the first half. Neither team was able to gain much of an advantage until FGCU used an 8-0 to take a 19-13 lead on a Chase Fieler dunk with 5:16 to play in the period.
Junior Chris Perez, who scored Stetson's final seven points of the frame, also tallied five of the last six points overall in the first half to bring the Hatters within two at the break. Curling aggressively around a dribble handoff to score two while getting fouled when FGCU was called for goaltending, Perez sparked the late Hatter run. On the next possession he knocked down a long two-point jumper to make it 23-22.
FGCU's Sherwood Brown hit one out of two free throws after getting fouled on an inbounds play to give the Eagles a 24-22 lead at halftime. The 2013 A-Sun Player of the Year scored 16 of FGCU's 24 points during the first 20 minutes of action.
A tip-in by Eric McKnight opened up the second half, and ignited a 9-0 FGCU run that put the Eagles on top 33-22 less than three minutes into the period. McKnight and Bernard Thompson scored all nine points during the stretch.
The Hatters continued to fight to get back in the game, and did so with a 6-0 run that cut the deficit back to just five points, at 33-28. Another traditional three-point play by Perez concluded the run at the 15:15 mark in the second frame.
Stetson got as close as four points, when free throws by junior Aaron Graham and senior Liam McInerney were followed by another Perez layup made it 37-33 in favor of the Eagles with 12:32 remaining. That was when a 10-2 run by FGCU put the Hatters down by 13 points, at 50-37, and left the Eagles in control.
Stetson got as close as 10 points a couple of times, but could never cut the FGCU lead to single digits during the final eight minutes of action. FGCU went on to win by the final score of 72-58.
The Hatters never gave up the fight though, as exemplified by senior Joel Naburgs in the final few minutes of play. The guard, in the final game of his career, turned the ball over to the Eagles. There was just 1:16 left in the contest, and Stetson was down 12 points, but Naburgs sprinted as fast as he could to catch the speedy Thompson, break up a dunk, and send the Eagle to the line.
"That's what I want our team to look like," Alexander said of the effort by Naburgs. "I want a lot of fight, guys that want to play and give their best effort regardless of time and score."
Stetson shot just 33.9 percent for the game, its lowest output on the season, and was 3-of-21 (14.3%) from beyond the arc. Those numbers became very difficult to overcome as FGCU began to hit its shots in the second half.
Senior Adam Pegg led the Hatters with 17 points and eight rebounds in his final game as a Hatter, while Perez added 15 points and two steals. Naburgs chipped in with nine points, junior Willie Green added eight rebounds, and junior Hunter Miller finished with six assists.
It was an up-and-down season for the Hatters, but when all was said and done, Stetson finished with six more wins overall, and five more wins in A-Sun play, than any season since 2008-09. The Hatters made the conference tournament for the first time since that year, earning the three seed, and advanced to the semifinals for the first time since 2005-06.
"It's a great first step for us," Alexander said of the season. "We want it to become the normal, obviously, and that's what I told our four seniors in the locker room. I want them to be able to look back and be able to legitimately take the credit for getting Stetson over the hump, and being the group that turned the program around."

I remember taking walks on the quiet streets of Nevada, Mo., when I was freshman at Cottey College. My roommate and I would leave the suite we shared with eight other women and wander down to a nearby park, escaping calculus and statistics for an hour or so.
Usually by the time we were walking back, I could see lights on in the homes we passed. A TV would flicker in one house. A porch light would come on at another. If it was nice out, you could catch part of a family�s dinner conversation through the window screen.
And it all looked divine to me.
If I could only get through college, start a career and family, then I�d have that warmth, that calm and loving routine, in a home of my own. In all my walks past those houses, I never once thought that maybe the TV was on to numb a painful marriage, or maybe the porch light was on to welcome someone home from a second job � a job that was needed to pay the mortgage. From the curb, and from my own naivety, I assumed that everything was fine in those cozy houses.
I know now that I was probably wrong, that life has a way of becoming complicated even when flowerbeds are properly groomed and sidewalks are freshly swept. Yet still today, I make the mistake of staying at the curb, of walking past when friends and neighbors are hurting behind closed doors.
It�s messy, this idea of loving one another. It requires active involvement. It�s risky, entangling and time consuming. But after all these years, it�s time I learned the lesson. It�s time I put it into practice.

text: Volleyball Tops Bethune To Extend Win Streak to Five September 25, 2013 The Stetson volleyball team blanked Bethune-Cookman for the third time this season, 3-0 (25-16, 25-18, 25-16) Tuesday night in a non-conference match at Moore Gym. The Hatters (11-5) have won five straight and 10 of their last 12 matches. The Wildcats fell to 1-14. Of the three meetings between the Volusia County rivals this season, Tuesday's contest was the first in Daytona Beach. A spirited Bethune-Cookman crowd of 386 kept the intensity level high throughout the match. "Today one the big challenges for us was playing on (Bethune-Cookman's) home court," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "This will prepare us for going on the road in conference. The crowd was loud, they had a lot of people here, they got the momentum a couple times, but our girls were able to respond. I am really proud of the whole team for doing that. "I really loved how we finished," Loesch added. "We played pretty well the first couple of games, but the team really picked it up at the end." Tiffany Creamer led the Hatters with 13 kills and a .429 attack percentage. Kaley Melville recorded 10 kills, including five in the final set. Kayla Weller added 32 assists. "First, I want to recognize Mel Melville for her passing and defense," Loesch said. "That is something that doesn't always get recognized, but she made pinpoint passes and played great defense. Her hitting just flowed from that. Tiffany Creamer had a great match again. She continues to grow as a freshman. She is really buying into the concept of staying aggressive, and took some huge swings on less than perfect opportunities and was still able to score points." Loesch also recognized the play of Weller and Ellen Hawks, but again was quick to praise the entire squad. "It was definitely a team effort," Loesch said. "We had girls come in and make big service runs, girls who passed great for us, hit off the bench, and set off the bench. We had everyone contribute." One of those serving runs came from redshirt freshman Shannon Craighead, who made her collegiate debut late in the third set. With the pressure of trying to close out the match coupled with the home crowd focusing their attention on her, Craighead served four straight points for the Hatters, including one ace, and picked up two digs in her first rally. Stetson will return home for two conference matches this weekend. The Hatters will host Mercer at 6 p.m. Friday and Kennesaw State at 5 p.m. Saturday. Admission is just $1 for fans with a ticket to Saturday's football game. Notes: Stetson has won 10 out of 12 for the first time since the 1985-86 seasons ... Prior to this season, the Hatters had no winning streaks lasting five matches in a row since 1988. They now have two such streaks this year.Print Friendly Version More Headlines

The Hatters (6-6-2, 4-1-1) moved into second place all by themselves with the win giving them 13 points, behind only Florida Gulf Coast. Stetson's 4-1-1 league record is the program's best start to conference play since starting 5-0-1 in 2006, and the second best ever. Having won both game of the weekend, and defeating Northern Kentucky on the road last Sunday, Stetson is amidst its first three-match winning streak since 2010. Throwing last Friday's draw against Lipscomb into the mix puts the Hatters on a four-game unbeaten streak, also the longest since 2010. "I'm really, really proud of the effort we put in as a group today," Stetson head coach Manoj Khettry said. "They've been fantastic. They're a group that anything we try to implement makes sense to them. They are great learners, they try really hard to pick things up quickly, and today was just a fantastic performance in terms of here's what we need to do, here's how we need to play, and they went out and executed it." Like on Friday, Stetson was on the offensive from start to finish against the Buccaneers. The Hatters outshot ETSU 24-9 for the game, and held a 15-5 advantage at halftime. Stetson also recorded 10 corner kicks to just six for the Bucs. The Hatters first got on the scoreboard, however, in the 28th minute of play when Pavao put away her first of two first half scores. Senior Alyssa Welsh carried a ball deep into Buccaneer territory, and crossed it into the box. Pavao controlled it and beat goalkeeper Anna Yancey to give Stetson the lead. Less than eight minutes later Stetson took a two-goal advantage when Pavao was at it again. This time it was freshman Paige Law stealing the ball from an ETSU defender trying to clear the ball on the sideline. Law took a touch and quickly crossed the ball in from the left and found Pavao, who headed it past Yancey to make 2-0 in favor of the Hatters. "We just created chance after chance," Khettry said. "Duda scoring a great first goal, Paige ripping off their back, getting her head up, and putting a ball right on Duda's head for the second, and the third one – Duda was once again responsible. She laid a perfect ball back for Mara who stroked it in from the top of the box." Affectionately referring to Pavao by her nickname, Khettry had great things to say about the freshman, who has now scored three goals and recorded one assist in just five games for the Hatters. Khettry also referenced Stetson's third goal of the game, coming off the foot of sophomore Mara Keomanivane. Midway through the second half Stetson was able to get one of its many crosses into the box. This one found Pavao, who then played it back to Keomanivane. The sophomore midfielder one-time it past Yancey for her first score of the year, giving the Hatters a decisive 3-0 lead that they wouldn't relinquish. The Stetson defense played a stout 90 minutes, allowing just nine shots and only two on target. Senior Victoria Troccoli made the two saves to keep Stetson on top, recording her fourth shutout of the season in the process. The Hatters will continue league play next weekend, traveling to Kennesaw State on Friday and Mercer on Sunday. The Owls and the Bears are currently in fifth and fourth place in the conference, respectively. Stetson will conclude regular season action at home on Oct. 26 hosting league-leading FGCU.

Lately I'm amazed [and saddened] at the friends and acquaintances that have been struggling, divorcing, hurting... often they are the ones I'd least expect.
I've learned that instead of wishing my life was like theirs and what I think they have that I don't, I should just be minding my own business and working on my own life. And take what I do have. And make it better.
I find myself in church on Sunday mornings and wish that the feeling I feel there didn't escape me when I leave. Because sometimes, oftentimes, it does.
And I slip back into the me I was the week before. I'm working on this. Because I love that feeling I have at church. I finally (maybe for the first time, definitely in a long time) feel like I've gotten the church thing right. And I'm laying down my trust again.
Sometimes I get behind on laundry, or just want to take a break from cloth diapering, and so I put Ivy in disposable diapers. And I don't feel guilty about it either.
I really don't feel like we're going to have another baby. But I want to write about my desire for another baby, because my body, my soul really does desire it. I'm just not sure my mind does. And so I'll keep writing about it. Because it makes me feel better when I do.
I am not going to BlogHer this summer because I don't want to leave Ivy and my family, really, for that long. And even if I could take someone to help with her full-time while I'm there, I don't want to go. And even if my whole family could come, I don't want to go. Because then I'd want to be with my family and not at some blog conference. When I really think about it, what I want to do most of all? Be here at home with my family. And so I will.
My house is small and very cluttered. I am frustrated at my every turn, so many things need their own place but instead are on the floor or crammed into some makeshift home for them waiting for me to figure out where I should put it someday, I imagine when the kids are all in school or old enough for me to do something for longer than twenty minutes at a time.
My thoughts are much like that, too many to fit in my head, very cluttered. I've got some great ideas up there but they are thrown on the floor of my mind, waiting for me to put them where they go.
Today I'm going to buy a new shower curtain, and new towels to hang on the towel rack. And maybe! even a new tissue cube cover. One room at a time, I think, and starting small with the bathroom is totally do-able for me, today.

If you want to see the real face of America, stand in line at a Redbox kiosk. You'll see an amazing cross-segment of humanity. I call them the Redbox Regulars.
The good ol' boy renting anything starring Bruce Willis or Larry the Cable Guy.The hipster chick with long, straight hair and a lip ring. Her indie pick features an ensemble cast of quirky 20-somethings.The elderly couple choosing Disney movies for the grandkids' sleepover.The sweet soccer mom renting the straight-to-DVD flick about a misfit soccer team that somehow sweeps the state championships. Extra points if the coach is a cute widower.The best friends picking romantic comedies for a girls' night that includes Dove bars and a bottle of tequila.As you can tell, I spend a lot of time in line at Redbox.
My husband and I watch many movies at home—it's why God made big-screen TVs. And my cheapskate gene adores Redbox. It's the best deal in town.
Well, I do have a couple of issues, but knowing me you knew that already, right?
Widdle Baby likes movies starring Sandra Bullock or Matt Damon, and/or spunky kids. ("We Bought a Zoo" was a big hit with him.) He doesn't like historical sagas and I despise musicals, which is why we haven't seen "Les Miserables" or "The Great Gatsby." I like movies that feature zombies and explosions, preferably triggered by zombies. I don't like sci-fi or animated characters. We both like Westerns (and "Tombstone" is tops, in my opinion.)
Mostly what we do is pick movies no-one has ever heard of, and hope for the best.
The other issue is, I panic if someone walks up and stands in line behind me. Not because I think I'm about to be mugged (that never crosses my mind, which means I'm a perfect target), but because I worry about making people wait. Waiting makes me nuts, and I assume the person behind me is just as crazy. So my face gets hot, my mouth gets dry and the screen becomes a blur. I know how neurotic all this sounds, but it's the truth.
(Widdle, on the other hand, simply turns, acknowledges the other person with a friendly, "Hey, man," and goes back to choosing a movie. The other person invariably smiles and says, "It's all good." Widdle is a normal person.)
You know, I left out my favorite Redbox Regular. Maybe you'll run into him one day.
It was a Monday morning. He was at least 80, short, bowlegged, built like a fireplug. He was holding up the sunscreen with one hand, with the other resting on his hip. He peered intently at the screen through battered reading glasses, occasionally stabbing at it with a gnarled finger.
"Huh!" he said. Then a few seconds later, "Huh! Huh!" After several more "Huhs!" he dropped the screen and turned to face me.
"How does this work?" he asked. Believe it or not, I enjoy helping people. So I said, "I'll show you."
I returned our movie and then showed him how to select a movie and pay for it. As the DVD glided smoothly into my hand I said, "That's it. Isn't that cool?"
He looked at the kiosk and then back at me. "I've been in two wars, and this is the damnedest thing I've ever seen," he said.
We both started laughing, right there on the sidewalk. It was a great moment. Rated PG.

IGN cube's fanboy-favorite editor Fran Mirabella III unleashed an unwanted horse-head into the beds of many Gamecube owners. This happened when he scored Nintendo's "killer-ap" for the 2003 holiday line up - Mario Kart:Double Dash - the long awaited sequel to Mario Kart 64... with a dissapointing and medicore score of 7.9. This action outrages the fourm members of IGN and it became the gamecube's version of "pwned"

The sex position of choice is the during the seventies. It is like the popular '69,' but a decade later in the disco inferno we call the seventies. Like the sixty-nine, the woman lays on top of the man head-to- toe where both partners can execute oral sex to the others genitals. Make sure the woman is on top so she can use a full head and neck motion to perform her fellatio. The main difference is that the woman, while performing oral sex, sticks her finger up the guy's ass. This is due to the fact that several years after its heyday, disco and all its leisure suit glory is seen as "kinda gay." If enacted correctly, both partners will soon be climaxing with full orgasms that coincide to the beat of "That's the way (uh-huh, uh-huh) I like it (uh-huh, uh-huh.)"

I hope that you and your family enjoyed a happy and blessed Easter.
The legislative session has passed the mid-point with a mixed bag of accomplishments and activity. The majority of attention in recent days was the conclusion of both the state budget debate in the House and the time period for filing for elected office.
By most accounts, the House budget is pretty decent. More importantly, it is balanced. The appropriations bill has now been sent to the State Senate and will return to the House in May with their amendments. At that point, a conference committee will convene and work out differences before forwarding the final document to the governor. The governor wields the power of the veto, and after her consideration, the General Assembly will return to address any vetoes. I expect a final budget to be complete by mid-June. The fiscal year then begins on July 1 and lasts through June 30, 2015.
Budget highlights include:
An emphasis on conforming to Gov. Haley's K-12 Education Reform Proposal. Total new funding was more than $180 million and base student cost was increased. Additional appropriations were dedicated to reading initiatives, technology improvements, high poverty areas and charter schools.
The House budget provides a 1.5 percent state employee pay raise that costs almost $23 million. More significantly, we paid for the entire health care premium increase of almost $57 million. Employees will see a slight increase in co-payments, but to fund both the premium increase and a pay raise required a great deal of effort.
All reserve funds and capital reserve funds are fully funded.
$14.5 million was allocated for cyber security upgrades and another $6.5 million for identity theft protection.
Local road funding (C-funds) was increased by $8.2 million and a new "buy back" program was instituted that encourages local governments to acquire small stretches of road that have previously been under state jurisdiction.
The Office on Aging appropriation was increased by almost $5 million between respite care and home- and community-based services.
Almost $4 million was allocated for S.C. State Park's capital projects.
The health care budget continues to absolutely explode. As most know, this is a point of contention and a cause of great concern. Just a small portion of the health care budget includes $130 million for medicaid maintenance of effort, $10.5 million for mental health services, $13.3 million for disability and special needs, the previously mentioned state health plan and on and on. This budget item is growing at an unsustainable pace and will continue to be a tremendous challenge.
Higher education received a smaller amount of new funding than it has in recent years ($17 million for technical schools, a long list of capital expenditures at the various colleges and universities, an additional $28 million for scholarships). However, $4 million was allocated for a complete review of efficiency and effectiveness at the campus and statewide level that should identify areas of concern and improvement. This review is a long-standing necessity and will result in cost savings and emphasis placed on programs and institutions that are being run effectively. (Locally, we did include almost $5 million for the Trident Aerospace Training Center.)
Economic development gained a big boost with a $37 million dollar increase to the "closing fund" and another $10 million for site development and research initiatives.
These are just a few of the key appropriations in the 800-page House budget. If you would like to view the document in its entirety, it can be pulled up online at www.scstatehouse.gov
The end of March was also accompanied by the end of the filing period. After the litigated fiasco of two years ago, I am happy to say that filing for office proceeded without a hitch. Primaries will take place on June 10 and the general election is slated for November 4. The State Senate is not up for election this time around, but the governor and other state constitutional officers, both U.S. senators, the U.S House of Representatives and the S.C. House of Representatives will be on the ballot. (As an aside, I did file to run again for the S.C. House of Representatives and appreciate your continued confidence and support.)
More recently, we spent a number of very long days on the floor clearing legislation from the House calendar before the May 1 "Crossover Deadline" – which is essentially the day all legislation must reach the Senate to be considered during this session.
Here are a few of the significant items we considered this week:
The House Education and Public Works Committee approved legislation that removes South Carolina from the group of states developing the Common Core standards.
We approved legislation that would allow the state to oversee county election commissions that don't follow the law. It sounds strange, but applying some degree of uniformity within our 46 counties is essential to conducting consistent elections.
The House approved a statewide ban on texting while driving. The penalty is essentially the same as for not wearing a seat belt. Aside from the obvious need to address this dangerous practice, the fact that multiple municipalities have begun approving differing texting bans created the need for a uniform statewide regulation.
Emma's Law is now an actual law. This bill is a critical step toward stopping repeat DUI offenders.
When the House returns after the Easter break, major legislation like the Ethics Reform Act, the College of Charleston/MUSC Reform bill and the return of the state budget await. It will be an active, and hopefully productive, final few weeks. I look forward to updating you on the results.
Thank you for the opportunity to represent you.

A game that is not 1, not2, but infinite steps up from Counter-Strike, which is a favorite of close-minded individuals and infantile morons.
Among the countless advantages of Day of Defeat, you do not get as many immature little kids complaining about hackers, and the damage level and recoil is such that the game requires skill and is a learning process.

A game that once used to have a dedicated fanbase but was destroyed by the desire for profit.
That game used to be great, but it became a Day of Defeat when the Development Team sold it's heart and soul away.

Counter Strike is NOT better than this game. But I am not comparing them because they are worlds of difference. Day of Defeat is a WWII deathmatch game that involves capturing flags by standing near them. You can pick from 6 classes of weapons. While each has a secondary weapon (excluding the rifle). There is a Rifle (k98 on axis and M1 Garand on allies), Assault (Thompson on the allies and mp40 on axis), Support (BAR on allies, and mp44 on axis). There is also Sniper (Springfield on allies, and k98 scoped on axis), Machine Gun (MG42 on axis and I'm not sure what the american MG is called). Last but not worst, is the Rocket. Panzerschrek on axis, and Bazooka on allies. The game features real, town maps that were involved in the war, and other maps that are just fun to play, like orange_fight_arena.
Day of Defeat is an amazing game, it's fun and you get to kill stuff.

Scene at a Redbox kiosk:
Widdle: "What movie do you want?"
Me: "I don't know. Which one do YOU want?"
W: "Doesn't matter. You decide."
Me: "I always pick bombs and then we don't remember them two days later. You pick."
W: "Oh. Okay. What about—no, never mind. Really, you pick."
Me: "No, seriously. YOU pick."
And so it goes, until the people waiting behind us are ready to bust out a shank.
Widdle and I cannot, canNOT make a decision together on anything. The Publix vs. Bi-Lo question requires at least an hour to resolve. Deciding where to go for Sunday brunch can literally take two days.
Separately, we're good. I have confidently selected complementing wallpaper, bathroom fixtures, mirrors and paint color in 20 minutes flat. By himself, Widdle can pick out a new truck in 24 hours, bada bing, bada boom.
But put us together, and something unholy happens. We dither. We sputter. We turn helplessly in circles, wringing our hands and bleating like goats. (Okay, that last part is just me. But still.)
When it was time to buy a new vehicle for me awhile back, Widdle and I anguished for weeks. I had no idea what I wanted. He had no idea what he wanted me to have. Finally I blurted: "Tell you what. You buy it and I'll drive it." That was at 7 p.m. on a Monday. When I opted out he promptly decided, and a car was in the driveway at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
Widdle claims we can't make joint decisions because we're both Sagittarians, whatever that means. I think we're just sick of making choices. Think about it: From the time your eyes open in the morning, you have to choose: Sweatpants or jeans? Coffee or juice? Baseball cap or ponytail? Don't even get me started on what errands to run, which rooms to clean or whose emails to answer.
Back to the Zodiac. Widdle doesn't follow his horoscope, but he tends to think some signs share certain traits. Example: Most sources say Sags love adventure, travel and philosophy. For me, it's no, sometimes and never. Travel is fun but I lack the boldness gene; risking a splinter is about as far as this daredevil goes. And the one class I hated in college was philosophy.
We Archers are also supposed to be incurable optimists. Wrong again--though I'm not quite a pessimist, either. I'm happy I have all my teeth, and don't expect much more. Widdle tends to be more upbeat. He believes that life unfolds exactly as it's supposed to, and the results are usually fine. I believe you work hard, pay your bills, and die.
Maybe it's genetic: My Welshman dad was also an atypical Sagittarius: He was quiet, brooding and hated to travel. My beloved brother, T-Bob, is a Cancer. They're supposed to be proud and somewhat prickly; handle with care. But you won't meet a kinder, more generous soul than T-Bob.
Just for grins, I Googled my Zodiac sign a few minutes ago. The first entry said: "Others enjoy being with you when you are outgoing and joyful, but you can become sullen if you feel your wings have been clipped." There you go—I never realized I had wings, let alone that they could be clipped.
It seems like a shame when you don't live up to your sign. It sounds like I could be a lot of fun.
Julie R. Smith, who's not interested in archery, either, can be reached at email@example.com.

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - The Stetson women's tennis team (4-4) defeated Cal State Northridge by a score of 4-3 on Friday afternoon in Northridge, California, snapping a three-match losing streak.
Unlike last match, the Hatters found themselves in an early hole after losing the doubles point. Senior Sara Lazarevic and freshman Andrea Crespo were defeated by Anna Yang and Sabrina Man-Son-Hing 8-5. Senior Jen Miller and junior Diana Bukajeva were victorious in their match, defeating Jessica Warren and Corrine Schnyder 8-1, giving Stetson a shot at the first point.
However, junior Lindsey Cable and Eveline Lepinay fell to Maria Pisatalu and Lorraine Cheung by a score of 8-5. It marked the duo's first doubles loss of the season, giving the Matadors a 1-0 lead.
In singles, Stetson picked up four wins to earn the victory. Miller defeated Warren 6-1, 6-3 at the number five position. Crespo defeated Yang 6-3, 6-1 and at number three singles, Bukajeva defeated Man-Son-Hing 6-3, 6-2.
Lazarevic was defeated by Pistalu 6-1, 7-6 (3), but at number six singles, Lepinay defeated Alexis Marquez 6-0, 4-6, 6-0 to give Stetson the win. Senior Clarke Tatje fell to Cheung by a score of 6-3, 6-4 in the final match of the day.
The ladies return to action on Tuesday, when they take on Cleveland State. The match is part of a doubleheader with the men's team, and is scheduled to begin at 6:00 p.m. at the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center.
Match notes: Bukajeva remains undefeated in singles and owns a 12 match winning streak, dating back to last season... Stetson finishes 1-1 on their first road trip of the season.

The first two outs were easy enough, the third was a bit more tricky.
Wando head coach Dirk Thomas knew West Ashley wouldn't go down without a fight. With his team holding on to a two-run lead entering the bottom of the seventh, Thomas called in closer Harrison Smith to go against the heart of the order.
Eight pitches in, two were already away. Then a hit, walk and a balk, and the Wildcats had runners at second and third with the winning run at the plate. Smith tipped his cap, dug in, threw three straight strikes and walked off the mound with his fist in the air.
Wando defeated West Ashley, 5-3, in the opening round of the AAAA Lower State tournament Saturday in Charleston. The Warriors advance to host Sumter Monday in the second round, while the Wildcats host Lexington.
"Against a team like West Ashley, you know it's not going to be easy," Thomas said. "They're not a team to give up with two outs. (Smith) did a great job against some quality hitters and really toughed it out when we need it."
Senior right-hander Mark Evans earned the win for Wando, giving up three earned runs off five hits and four walks with four strikeouts through six innings. Evans battled with Wildcats junior Jordan Merritt who struck out seven but allowed four earned runs off eight hits and four walks in seven innings.
Kep Brown put Wando (18-8) on top in the top of the first with a two-out, two-run double to deep center to score Tyler Ackard and Oliver Hill. Ackard lined a single to right field in the fifth to drive in Andrew Lee and open a 3-0 Warriors lead.
Merritt tied the game for West Ashley in the bottom of the fifth with a two-out, three-run double to left field that brought in Logan Butler, J.C. Rodriguez and Tyrie Blalock.
Owen Ravenel countered for Wando with two outs in the sixth with a single to left to score Brown. West Ashley (21-6) loaded the bases in the bottom frame, but Evans escaped with a strikeout to end the inning.
"It comes down to executing and somebody getting the big hit," West Ashley head coach Mitch Miggenburg said. "We got away from what we do well at times. We battled and competed and did everything we could. It was a lot of fun, but we just couldn't get the big hit when we needed it."
Wando loaded the bases off a single, error and intentional walk with no outs in the seventh. Merritt hit Jack DeLongchamps with a pitch to bring home Trevor Pederson and extend a 5-3 lead.
West Ashley left eight runners stranded, five in scoring position. Merritt led West Ashley at the plate, hitting 2 for 4 with three RBIs. No other Wildcats had more than one hit.
Ravenel finished 2 for 3 with an RBI, Pedersen 2 for 4 with a run scored and Brown 1 for 2 with two RBIs, a run scored and two walks.
"Small things can go unnoticed throughout the game, but in a game like tonight, I think that's what made the difference," Thomas said. "Sometimes you just play the game as hard as you can and live with what's dealt with no regrets after that."

A slow but steady stream of voters are going to the polls across Berkeley County Tuesday.
One veteran poll worker said that this primary is showing a more steady line of voters than recent primaries. Some locations were already near 20 percent in the waning hours of the primary.
Polls close at 7 p.m.
But while turnout has been high in some areas, some precincts remain in double digits. Berkeley County Election Director Adam Hammound said those precincts might get a bump from the after-work rush.
In the 2010 primary, turnout in Berkeley County was just shy of 24 percent.
Berkeley Countys top political office hangs in the balance, as Supervisor Dan Davis faces two Republican challengers. Moncks Corner Mayor Bill Peagler and businessman Jerry Beckley have both run spirited campaigns against Davis, who is seeking the Republican nomination and a third term in office.
The countys chief law enforcement position also is on Tuesdays ballot. Incumbent Sheriff Wayne DeWitt is facing two Republican competitors, Brian Adams and Matt Smoak. Its the first time in 20 years hes been challenged in the primary.
For one Berkeley County voter, the sheriff race even eclipsed the statewide races for U.S. Senate.
We have had a bunch of break ins over the weekend, and we cant get anyone to respond or, if they do respond, it can take more than an hour, Amy Stoddard said outside Cane Bay Elementary.
There are several county council seats being challenged: Distirct 4, District 5 and District 6. Another voter said she has paid more attention to the local races this year.
We have a neighbor running for office and that encouraged us to take a closer look, Jody Jenikovsky said.
U.S. Sen. Tim Scott was one of the first voters of the day: the junior senator cast his ballot at Goose Creek Primary School shortly after 7 a.m.
His unexpired term is on the ballot, in addition to U.S. Sen. Lindsey Grahams seat. Both of those races are on the Republican and Democratic ballot.
Another statewide race is the Superintendent of Education, with scores of candidates on the Republican and Democratic ballot.

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS)
Energy In Brief
What are the major sources and users of energy in the United States?
The major energy sources in the United States are petroleum (oil), natural gas, coal, nuclear, and renewable energy. The major users are residential and commercial buildings, industry, transportation, and electric power generators. The pattern of fuel use varies widely by sector.
How can we compare or add up our energy consumption?
To compare or aggregate energy consumption across different energy sources like oil, natural gas, and electricity, we must use a common unit of measure. This is similar to calculating your food energy intake by adding up the calories in whatever you eat.
See all Energy In Brief reports »
Industry Analysis Briefs
Steel Industry Analysis
The steel industry is critical to the U.S. economy. Steel is the material of choice for many elements of construction, transportation, manufacturing, and a variety of consumer products. It is the backbone of bridges, skyscrapers, railroads, automobiles, and appliances. Most grades of steel used today - particularly high-strength steels that are lighter and more versatile - were not available a decade ago.
Chemical Industry Analysis
The chemical industries are a cornerstone of the U.S. economy, converting raw materials such as oil, natural gas, air, water, metals, and minerals into thousands of various products. Chemicals are key materials for producing an extensive assortment of consumer goods.
Cost of Natural Gas Used in Manufacturing Sector Has Fallen
Release Date: September 6, 2013
Natural gas has been an important exception to the trend of rising prices for energy sources used by manufacturers. Production of natural gas in the United States increased rapidly beginning in 2007 as a result of resources found in shale formations. That increase in supply has in turn lowered the price of natural gas to manufacturers as well as other consumers.
Manufacturing energy consumption data show large reductions in both manufacturing energy use and the energy intensity of manufacturing activity between 2002 and 2010
Release Date: March 19, 2013
Total energy consumption in the manufacturing sector decreased by 17 percent from 2002 to 2010 (Figure 1), according to new 2010 MECS data.
Early-release estimates from the 2010 MECS show that energy consumption in the manufacturing sector decreased between 2006 and 2010
Release Date: March 28, 2012
Energy consumption in the U.S. manufacturing sector fell from 21,098 trillion Btu (tBtu) in 2006 to 19,062 tBtu in 2010, a decline of almost 10 percent, based on preliminary estimates released from the 2010 Manufacturing Energy Consumption Survey (MECS). This decline continues the downward trend in manufacturing energy use since the 1998 MECS report.
