Jones puts emphasis on WT's conditioning
Turning around a program that won just 10 games during the past three years, including a 2-9 mark in 2001, is one of new West Texas A&M head football coach Ronnie Jones' primary objectives.
Buffs rally in 10th, take series from No. 17 Wildcats
All Mark Jones wanted out of his West Texas A&M baseball team on Saturday was nine solid innings.
Raiders focus on outside LB positions
LUBBOCK - Ruffin McNeill watches film after every football practice, which makes him no different than any other coach. It's just that McNeill has more decisions to make this spring than some of his fellow Texas Tech assistants.
WT's season good, bad
The 2001-02 West Texas A&M women's basketball season was similar to the glass that was half-full ... or half-empty.

It's difficult to argue otherwise.
The trio was ranked Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively, in lists created by Baseball America, MLB.com and ESPN.com this offseason -- three media outlets widely regarded as offering accurate prospect rankings.
But outside the club's top three studs, it appears each publication significantly varies with its top 10 rankings.
Pitching prospect Bruce Rondon was ranked No. 6 by MLB.com, but the 6-foot-2 right-hander was left off the ESPN.com and Baseball America top 10 lists entirely.
MLB.com and ESPN.com listed Daniel Fields as the club's seventh-best prospect, while Fields was a no-show on Baseball America's list.
ESPN.com provided arguably the biggest snub, leaving off left-handed starter Andy Oliver, who was ranked the fourth- and fifth-best prospect by MLB.com and Baseball America, respectively.
The list about the top 10 lists goes on. See what I did there?
MLive.com will be releasing its own prospect rankings prior to Opening Day, but for now, feel free to compare and analyze the top 10 prospects in Detroit's organization from the aforementioned lists.
Here, I'll start. The Tigers' system features a host of southpaw power arms, including five left-handed starters mentioned among the top 10 players selected in the three lists.
It's clear the organization has placed a stronger emphasis on its pitchers than position players. The pressure now falls on pitching coordinator Al Nipper to provide the grooming necessary for success.

What if you could take your family on an adventure? One of the best things in the form of entertainment is about to happen to your family. We've been listening to the newest audio drama from Heirloom Audio Productions called The Cat of Bubastes! This is our first review with Heirloom Audio Productions. I thought it would be a great fit since Mini likes to listen to her books versus reading them. The Cat of Bubastes is a 2-CD audio adventure based on the G. A. Henry novel that will keep the whole family's attention. While it is designed for kids ages 6-16, adults will love to it too. What We Received We received a physical copy of the 2-CD set and we received several digital resources with it: MP3 version of the drama E-book version of Henty's original novel (perfect for visual learners) MP3 soundtrack of the audio adventure Printable poster featuring the cast PDF study & discussion guide Printable inspirational verse poster featuring art from the CD and 1 Chronicles 17:20 A behind the scenes video documentary featuring the cast and crew The Live the Adventure letter Learning The Cat of Bubastes is set in ancient Egypt featuring a young Prince and his friend. It follows them on adventures that test their loyalty. Through out the story we see God providing and deepening their new faith. I personally loved the morals and values laid out in The Cat of Bubastes. I love that this is an audio adventure Mini can listen to over and over again and learn … [Read more...]

Take a look at these 7 homesteading skills to master this fall so you can prepare your household for what is ahead. 7 Homesteading Skills to Master This Fall 1. Make your own candles.

Make sauces, pickled veggies, ketchup, and other canned goodies so even if you can't get out to the store, you have the food you need on hand. You may like my Canning Tomato Sauce post 3.

Canned Apple Pie Filling
While you are canning all your yummy fresh veggies like carrots, beans, and potatoes you definitely want to take a little time to can up things like this delicious canned apple pie filling. It can be used of course as filling for a homemade apple pie and also warmed up to top pancakes, waffles, ice cream, and more. I put my new pressure cooker to use on this one and had 4 pints of apple pie filling ready in no time to put up in my pantry. This makes a fantastic hostess gift for Thanksgiving or as a Chrismas gift tucked into a basket with a pretty pie pan and a dish towel. Ingredients for Canned Apple Pie Filling 3 lbs. apples 2 cups brown sugar 1/3 cup cornstarch 1 T. Lemon juice 3 tsp. cinnamon 1 tsp. nutmeg 1/2 tsp. salt 5 cups of water 3 or 4 -quart canning jars Directions for Canned Apple Pie Filling Peel apples and cut into slices or chunks, however you prefer. Fill jars with apple slices. Place apples, lemon juice, and water in a large pot, bring to a low boil. Stir in cornstarch, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt, simmer for 5 minutes. Since I use it for a variety of things I don't put quite as much cornstarch to thicken the syrup as traditional pie filling usually calls for, if you prefer a thick filling you can increase to half a cup. Pour mixture into clean sterilized canning jars, leaving 1" of headspace. Wipe rim with a clean damp cloth, secure new lid and ring tightly. Place … [Read more...]

How to Turn Any Trip into a Homeschool Lesson
The best thing about homeschooling your children are the abilities to get creative with any and all lessons. I love being able to teach my children without them actually knowing their learning. There is no lack of education that you can build into any trip. In fact, because you are experiencing the lesson, your children may actually learn more. How to turn any trip into a Homeschool lesson: Let your Child Navigate: Ok, GPS is great at helping your child with "turn left in 500 feet" or "Your destination will be on the left in .4 miles," but, if you really want them to paint a picture of distance and comprehend the route, get out an old school map. Before your trip, map it out explaining how long it takes and how the map works (If younger children will appreciate this, even if they can't "really" navigate). Printing out a map with directions from Google maps is a great way of incorporating spatial skills, higher thinking, geography, and distance. Visit Local Museums: When you travel, you're sure to come across some museums in that area. From Historical museums about the city to art and science museums, you can explore numerous skills from just one visit. Take time to visit and explore at least one museum reading and explaining the pieces in the museum and explaining why they are there. Learn about the Destination: Get your kids hyped up about any place you plan on going. Check out some books about the area from the library. Look at what the city looked like, how the … [Read more...]
Homemade Oatmeal Packets-3 Fall Flavors
I love the convenience and the yummy flavors that you get in prepackage oatmeal. What I don't love is the sodium, extra sugar, and who knows how many preservatives are in each packet. They can get pretty pricey if you are eating them often as well so I prefer to make my own. The other benefit to making your own is that you can create custom flavors with high-quality real ingredients. I put together 3 comforting fall flavor combinations for these Homemade Oatmeal Packets. Store bought may get you strawberry or an apple cinnamon but you won't find amazing flavors like Cranberry Almond, Pumpkin Mocha Latte, or Banana Nut Bread in those little sealed pouches! This version is also dairy free and gluten free (make sure you get gluten free certified oatmeal) Homemade Oatmeal Packets-3 Fall Flavors Base Ingredients: For 12 Packets 4 cups oatmeal 1/2- 3/4 cups brown sugar Process one and half cups in a blender, processor, or coffee grinder until it is a coarse powder. Combine brown sugar, whole oats, and the oat powder you just made until well mixed. Scoop 1/3 cup of oatmeal base into plastic sandwich bag. Now you can add your additional ingredients. Here are three great comforting fall flavors to get you started.... Cranberry Almond Add 2 tsp. almonds and 2 tsp. of cranberries. Pumpkin Mocha Latte Add 2 tsp. instant coffee granules, 1 tsp. baking cocoa, 1/2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice. Banana Nut Bread 1 T. banana … [Read more...]

I know Nyquist was on fire playing with z, but if this line continues to play well together, more importantly, if keeping them together keeps Franzen producing we should leave them together.
Having two lines with chemistry and familiarity once we start getting bodies back seems like it should be a priority.
Well, when Helm and Weiss come back (whenever the hell that is), Andersson and Glendening should come out. Then when Datsyuk comes back take Bert out. Then one of the kids, probably Jurco, should be get to the dance and Hank is healthy. A whole lot of what ifs right now.

Tyler Kennedy made a critical mistake for the Sharks, which was nice to see.
The real story was Marc-Andre Fleury. He was the best player on the ice for either team. Sharks were basically parked in front of him all night, and he responded with a big-time performance. Just overall a good win, but strange.
3. Sidney Crosby
Three assists like it was nothing.
2. Chris Kunitz
Kunitz now leads the Pens in goals. He picked up two more in this one.
1. Marc-Andre Fleury
Umm, what goalie has been better than Marc-Andre Fleury this season? This is a remarkable win against a really good team.

1492by Felipe Fernández-Armesto
Profetas, adivinos y astrólogos auguraron que el mundo terminaría en 1492. Tenían razón. Su mundo acabó y empezó el nuestro.Este fascinante viaje de la Edad Media a la modernidad nos explica los acontecimientos que hicieron posible el mundo en que vivimos: el aumento de los intercambios comerciales y sus efectos en la economía mundial, la forma en que las principales civilizaciones y religiones dividieron el mundo o el cambio en la distribución de la riqueza. De la mano de un guía extraordinario como Felipe Fernández-Armesto, y en compañía de los viajeros auténticos que hicieron posible la transformación, asistimos en Granada al derrumbe del último reino islámico en Europa occidental y al renacer de un nuevo imperio islámico en Tombuctú; visitamos la corte del primer rey cristiano en el hemisferio sur junto a los exploradores portugueses y nos unimos a los judíos expulsados de España al cruzar el Mediterráneo hasta el norte de África, Italia y Estambul; presenciamos los funerales de Lorenzo el Magnífico en una afligida Florencia y paseamos por la Roma corrupta de Alejandro Borgia; recorremos las heladas fronteras de la sangrienta Rusia de Iván el Terrible y escuchamos a los poetas místicos cantar en las costas del Océano Índico; en las profundidades de un viejo cráter de las Canarias contemplamos el nacimiento del primer imperio europeo de ultramar, navegamos por el Atlántico con Colón y conocemos a incas y aztecas antes de que sucumban a la fundación de un nuevo mundo en las Américas.Guerras, brujería, plagas y persecuciones, ciencia, magia y profecías, arte y fe, las glorias y miserias de 1492 nos hablan de un mundo en movimiento en este relato deslumbrante que constituye una auténtica historia global del nacimiento de la modernidad.
Amerigo: The Man Who Gave His Name to Americaby Felipe Fernández-Armesto
In this biography of the man for whom America is named, historian Fernandez-Armesto delves into life and explorations of Amerigo Vespucci. Vespucci was a prominent self-promoter in the 15th century and Fernandez-Armesto successfully narrates his achievements in this book which in 2007 marked the 500th anniversary of the naming of America.
Civilizations: Culture, Ambition, and the Transformation of Natureby Felipe Fernández-Armesto
Felipe Fernández-Armesto once again proves himself a brilliantly original historian, capable of large-minded and comprehensive works; here he redefines the subject that has fascinated historians from Thucydides to Gibbon to Spengler to Fernand Braudel: the nature of civilization. To Fernández-Armesto, a civilization is "civilized in direct proportion to its distance, its difference from the unmodified natural environment". . . by its taming and warping of climate, geography, and ecology. The same impersonal forces that put an ocean between Africa and India, a river delta in Mesopotamia, or a 2,000-mile-long mountain range in South America have created the mold from which humanity has fashioned its own wildly differing cultures. In a grand tradition that is certain to evoke comparisons to the great historical taxonomies, each chapter of Civilizations connects the world of the ecologist and geographer to a panorama of cultural history. In Civilizations, the medieval poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is not merely a Christian allegory, but a testament to the thousand-year-long deforestation of the trees that once covered 90 percent of the European mainland. The Indian Ocean has served as the world's greatest trading highway for millennia not merely because of cultural imperatives, but because the regular monsoon winds blow one way in the summer and the other in the winter. In the words of the author, "Unlike previous attempts to write the comparative history of civilizations, it is arranged environment by environment, rather than period by period, or society by society. " Thus, seventeen distinct habitats serve as jumping-off points for a series of brilliant set-piece comparisons; thus, tundra civilizations from Ice Age Europe are linked with the Inuit of the Pacific Northwest; and the Mississippi mound-builders and the deforesters of eleventh-century Europe are both understood as civilizations built on woodlands. Here, of course, are the familiar riverine civilizations of Mesopotamia and China, of the Indus and the Nile; but also highland civilizations from the Inca to New Guinea; island cultures from Minoan Crete to Polynesia to Renaissance Venice; maritime civilizations of the Indian Ocean and South China Sea. . . even the Bushmen of Southern Africa are seen through a lens provided by the desert civilizations of Chaco Canyon. More, here are fascinating stories, brilliantly told -- of the voyages of Chinese admiral Chen Ho and Portuguese commodore Vasco da Gama, of the Great Khan and the Great Zimbabwe. Here are Hesiod's tract on maritime trade in the early Aegean and the most up-to-date genetics of seed crops. Erudite, wide-ranging, a work of dazzling scholarship written with extraordinary flair, Civilizations is a remarkable achievement. . . a tour de force by a brilliant scholar.
Our America: A Hispanic History Of The United Statesby Felipe Fernández-Armesto
The United States is still typically conceived of as an offshoot of England, with our history unfolding east to west beginning with the first English settlers in Jamestown. This view overlooks the significance of America's Hispanic past. With the profile of the United States increasingly Hispanic, the importance of recovering the Hispanic dimension to our national story has never been greater. This absorbing narrative begins with the explorers and conquistadores who planted Spain s first colonies in Puerto Rico, Florida, and the Southwest. Missionaries and rancheros carry Spain's expansive impulse into the late eighteenth century, settling California, mapping the American interior to the Rockies, and charting the Pacific coast. During the nineteenth century Anglo-America expands west under the banner of Manifest Destiny and consolidates control through war with Mexico. In the Hispanic resurgence that follows, it is the peoples of Latin America who overspread the continent, from the Hispanic heartland in the West to major cities such as Chicago, Miami, New York, and Boston. The United States clearly has a Hispanic present and future. And here is its Hispanic past, presented with characteristic insight and wit by one of our greatest historians. "
Pathfinders: A Global History of Explorationby Felipe Fernández-Armesto
"A brilliant and readable book...a rich study of humankind's restless spirit."--Candice Millard, New York Times Book Review Greeted with coast-to-coast acclaim on publication, Fernández-Armesto's ambitious history of world exploration sets a new standard. Presenting the subject for the first time on a truly global scale, Fernández-Armesto tracks the pathfinders who, over the past five millennia, lay down the routes of contact that have drawn together the farthest reaches of the world.The Wall Street Journal calls it "impressive...a huge story [told] with gusto and panache." To the Washington Post, "Pathfinders is propelled by an Argonaut of an author, indefatigable and daring. It's a wild ride." And in a front-page review, the Seattle Times hails its "tart and elegant presentation...full of surprises. Fernández-Armesto's lively mind, pithy phrasing, and stunningly thorough and diverse knowledge are a constant pleasure."A plenitude of illustrations and maps in color and black and white augment this rich history. In Pathfinders we have a definitive treatment of a grand subject.
