Clothing to Pass as Male
Our perceptions of gender are often guided by how someone presents themselves. Clothing is one of the main indicators that helps people distinguish whether someone identifies as a man or as a woman.
Dressing in mens clothing may seem deceptively easy. However, trans men face unique difficulties in finding the right fit because of our smaller size and bone structure. In addition, trans men who have not started hormones, or who still have a curvy figure may need to disguise their figure. Something as simple as the cut of your pants can make a huge difference in reducing or emphasizing your physical attributes.
Something as simple as the cut of your pants can make a huge difference in reducing or emphasizing your physical attributes.
Wear flat front pants to reduce the appearance of hips and thighs.
Mens dress pants may be pleated or flat front. Pleated pants will emphasize feminine curves and residual body fat on the hips and thighs. This is because pleated pants are cut to differentiate the torso from the hips on skinny and tall men. In contrast, flat front pants will straighten the figure and disguise the natural curve of your hips.
Pleated pants are a more classic option, whereas flat front pants are more modern. Stores that cater to younger buyers, such as Express, rarely carry pleated pants. Pleated pants were created to allow for more comfort in the seated position. Ralph Lauren usually features pleated pants with their suits and dress wear because they lean toward a more classic style. Calvin Klein usually features flat front pants with their suits because they lean toward a more modern style. Both are acceptable to wear with suits and business attire–it is simply a matter of preference.
Wear slacks with no cuffs to appear taller.
Cuffs are common on traditional mens slacks. They are the turned up portion of the pants that distinguishes between the shoe and the slacks. Cuffs can make a man appear shorter because they encroach upon the length of the pant legs. Thus, short men are better off going cuff-less so that they appear taller. Cuffs protect the bottom of your trousers from fraying or damage, and are helpful for growing teenage boys because they can be released as he grows. They are a more formal option for pants and are common on mens suits. However, tuxedos should never be worn with cuffs. Typically, cuffs should be worn only with pleated pants. It is ok to wear cuffs with flat front pants, but it is not the traditional style. If you do opt to wear cuffs, they should be sized correctly. Men under 5'10 should wear a 1 1/4″ cuff. Men over 5'10 should wear a 1 5/8″ cuff.
Do not wear pants that a tapered to the ankle.
Make sure that the jeans to do not clasp to your ankles because this will make you look very curvy (notice how women's jeans tend to do this). For example, regular levi's are cut smaller at the ankle.
Finding the Right Pant Size
If a pair of men's pants is 30/32, then this means that the waist is 30 and the length is 32. A 30/30 is generally around a size 6 in women's. This is probably common knowledge, but men don't tend to wear their jeans very tight. Try finding a pair of jeans that aren't skin tight, but that sit comfortably at your waistline. Also, pull pants down so that they rest about 2-3 inches down from the belly button-this will reduce the sight of curves slightly. Also, be sure to buy pants that fit–not too tight because it will show curve and not too baggy because it will also show curve. The idea is to become as straight as possible, rather than curvy. This is one of those areas that takes a lot of effort in order to pull it off well.
If you're on a budget, consider purchasing basic clothing supplies at Wal-Mart. Some smaller guys may even be able to opt for clothes in the boys section. The men's section at Wal-Mart has a decent selection of cargo pants and jeans.
Button-down shirts can also be a problem because men's shirts tend to be huge everywhere, especially in the shoulders. Once again, I recommend heading to the boys department. There is one big problem, long-sleeved boys shirts sleeves are often too short. Mail order catalogs can be an excellent resource, but in order to pull it off you will need to know your neck circumference and sleeve length. Most girls have a neck circumference of around 12-14 inches. The shirt sizes are __X__ which is nexk x sleeve. If you're on a time limit and need a shirt immediately, go to the boys department and just role-up the sleeves. T-shirts are always safe and polo shirts are a blessing.
Mens dress shirts shrink just like women's clothing, however long sleeve mens shirts can cause a real problem if they shrink too much. Make sure that there's some extra length (the shirt sleeve should end where your thumb and hand connect) so that the sleeves won't be too short when they shrink. Also, it is important to wash a mens shirt before having the sleeves tailored so that they don't shrink after you have the shirt tailored.
Mens shirts that have a straight cut along the end are meant to wear untucked. Shirts that have a survey appearance along the bottom are intended to be tucked in.
Muscle Tees can be wonderful, but they tend to have very large holes for the arms. This can be a huge problem because a binder will show through. Regular tank-tops are ok.
Wintertime can be the best for early-stage FTMs because winter clothing hides everything. In fact, you don't have to bind as tight if you're going to be in a sweater. If it is fall or just a bit chilly out, pick up a hoody that is tighter than normal Academy sells them for very cheap, this way it doesn't get too hot, and you don't have to bind as tight.
Shoes also tend to be a problem. Men's shoes are much wider than girls. If your feet start to slip around in the shoe, go get a pair of doctor sholes pads that are too large for the shoe. Cut them down so that they fit lengthwise and stuff them in each shoe. You can even glue them down. This will help narrow the pair of shoes down on the insides so that they fit better. It may also be helpful to wear two pairs of socks.
Finding the Right Size
The key to successfully dress like a man is obviously to wear men's clothing; there is a difference between men and women's clothing. One of the biggest problems that FTMs find is that men's clothing does not fit them.

The Top Line
We had a couple of stories about the Maple Leafs goalie situation today. Sports Illustrated, Sporting News
Pittsburgh 4, Vancouver 3 (SO) – Sidney Crosby scored his 7th goal of the season, whereas the 3 scorers for the Canucks have 6 combined, including the 3 from last night. ASAS
Edmonton 3, Ottawa 1 – Finally, the Senators play a team from Canada. Never again.
Colorado 4, Buffalo 2 – It was a battle of the instoppable force against a very movable object, and it went about as expect.
Nashville 2, Montreal 1 – Seth Jones dazzled with the game winner on this one. Both Predators goals were scored by defensemen
Boston 5, Tampa Bay 0 – So much for all that, eh Tampa Bay?
Florida 2, Minnesota 1 (SO) – The Wild completely out shot the Panthers, and they always outshoot their opponents, but they always lose. ASAS
New Jersey 4, New York Rangers 0 – The Rangers are hot garbage
Carolina 4, New York Islanders 3 – The Hurricanes are looking pretty good so far, huh? Staals = success
Washington 4, Columbus 1 – Ovechkin has 7 goals, just like Sidney Crosby. Have they been compared before?
Chicago 3, Toronto 1 – The Blackhawks are pretty good, it seems.
Phoenix 5, Detroit 2 – Mike Smith even scored a goal for the Coyotes. He is their goalie, if you aren't 100% familiar with the Phoenix roster.
San Jose 6, Calgary 3 – The Sharks still don't have a real loss on the season.
Los Angeles 5, Dallas 2 – I think Tyler Seguin may have partied a little to hearty last night.

Resolving Focus
It feels like it is taking forever to finish. But our oven project is inching towards completion. I've been off the project for over a month to concentrate on building a custom meat butchery. However, Steve Crozier, an ex pat Brit and long time friend of the farm stepped up and took charge of finishing the masonry. Yesterday Steve -who was a bricklayer somewhere back in his long ago- laid the last arch of the oven vault and Trent, lit a fire to see how it drafted.
There is still a lot to do. Rebar has to be bent and laid over the roof of the vault. We have to build a form to hold the concrete that must be poured for the roof. Bricks for the front must be bedded, a chimney erected, the ledge around the perimeter finished and more. But it will get done and I predict that by spring we will be baking bread and roasting meat in this monster.
About the title
I had no idea what to name this post so I just pulled out the first words that came out of memory. "Focus" is Latin for hearth and it is resolving in that it is becoming what it is meant to be.
Whatever. I'm tired.

Cool looking oven, Bob. How big is it inside? Is it big enough to roast a small pig? Regrettably, I haven't had the time to visit and check out what you guys have been up to. I will try to get out there soon.

The Boy was entranced with the oven. You've inspired him to put it on our "must have" list when we build on our retirement property. I suspect that he and his father (who's a mechanical engineer, a useful guy to have around in a family that builds its houses) will be perusing various designs this winter.
Visions of bread, pizzas, smoked salmon, and large mammals on spits are dancing through his head. I think I'll just have to hire someone to build my kiln shed. Sigh.

We built an Allen Scott brick oven 4 years ago attached to our bakery...it took ALOT longer than we thought to get it cured and really going economically and logistically...but now, we wouldn't do it any other way... We bake nearly everything we sell in it every day!
Good luck, your going to love it!

Soory for the delayed response.
Yeah, it's big enough to roast a small pig, absolutely. Of course, would have to be killed first, the oven ceiling is not high enough to allow a standing pig.

This is the first soup I've ever made "from scratch." The hubby loved it and insisted that I make more so there are leftovers next time.
This is a wonderful, creamy and tasty soup! I've made it twice now. First time according to recipe. Second time I made some changes. I roasted the acorn squash ahead of time and scooped it out of it's shell...it was too difficult for me to peel it raw. The roasting also brings out a sweeter flavor in the squash. I added another carrot, cut the apple juice down to 1C and added 1/2 cup more of chicken broth. The changes produced a slightly less sweet but, IMO, a deeper flavor to the soup overall.
Loved this soup! Just the right amount of sweetness and nice smooth texture. So glad I made this for my payback recipe in Recipe Dare! Thanks Rita! I used butternut squash with a dollop of sour cream.

Before this fight,he fought and won against hard punching fighters such as Sammy Gueterezz and Lorenzo Trejo.The latter,then later admitted that Joyi is one of the most best boxers to have come out of South Africa. Sitting on f21-w21-ko15,he is ready for any pugilist who wants to mix with him."I am waiting for my promoter to advise a way forward regarding my career.I might go the voluntary route or any other route available,Its up to my promoter as i am comfortable with any decision,"said Mdantsane born boxer.
"I am the warrior that does not fear anyone with two hands,my main aim is to fight both WBA and WBO champions.You can bring them on any time," he said.
It will be complex for any boxer to defeat this boxer from South Africa.He has got the skills and resilience.His Knockout rate shows how powerful his left hand is.Born a southpaw,he could give anyone with any stance some difficulty.
He must just be given a platform against world's best to showcase his talent and earn big money.Moreover his character will be put to the real test,remember to be the best you must fight or come against the best.

In overtime, Cougars quarterback Justin Morales threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Stephen London, and COC linebacker Evan Harrington followed it up with an interception to hand the Cougars a 29-22 victory over the Lancers in a National Division Northern Conference thriller at Pasadena City College's Robinson Stadium.
It was the second time in as many seasons that COC (6-3, 3-2) upended Pasadena (4-5, 1-4) in OT.
With the victory, the Cougars now turn their attention to the regular-season finale against archrival Bakersfield College (8-1, 5-0) Saturday night at Cougar Stadium.
COC is no longer in the state playoff picture, but a victory over Bakersfield would secure the Cougars a berth in one of the lower-tiered bowl games reserved for teams that don't make the state playoffs. It will also be an opportunity for COC to hand the Renegades their first and only conference loss of the season.
But if the Cougars are to have any chance against the bruising Renegades, they're going to have to turn in a much better offensive effort and protect the football a lot better than they did against Pasadena.
What's going to happen if COC fumbles five times and throws two interceptions like they did versus the Lancers?
"We won't win, no way," said COC head coach Garett Tujague.
Morales said the first half was not clicking for the Cougars.
"We might have been pressuring ourselves too much," Morales said. "At halftime, we talked about slowing it down and just having some fun, getting our swagger back, and we started to put drives together."
Down 6-0 at the half, COC took its first lead of the game when D.J. Stephens returned a punt 61 yards down the right sideline for a touchdown at 12:03 of the third quarter, staking the Cougars to a 7-6 advantage.
Pasadena countered midway through the third when quarterback Caleb Fore threaded the needle on a 23-yard scoring strike to wide receiver Kemonte Bateman. A two-point conversion attempt failed, and PCC held a 12-7 advantage.
Nick Hale's fumble set up the Lancers' next score, a 12-yard romp and dive by running back Anthony Pines. Brian Gonzalez's extra point extended Pasadena's lead to 19-7 with 4:15 to go in the third.
The Cougars forced a safely late in the third quarter to draw closer at 19-9.
COC closed the gap to start the fourth quarter when Morales connected with Stephens on a 48-yard bomb to the Lancer 3. Hale took it in on the next play to bring the Cougars to within three points.
The Cougars were driving to take the lead, but Morales' fumble on fourth-and-1 deep in Lancer territory slammed on the brakes.
COC's special teams put the Cougars back in business when Anthony Johnson blocked and recovered a Gonzales punt, and Hale later bolted in from 2 yards to put COC on top 22-19.
Gonzalez, attempting his first field goal of the season, tied it at 22 when his 35-yard attempt was true with four minutes left in regulation, setting up an overtime finish.
That put London in position to catch the game-winner on a play that Cougar assistant coach/offensive coordinator Don Fellows drew up as the fourth quarter came to a close.
With everyone looking for Morales to throw the ball to Stephens, the freshman signal-caller found a wide-open London in the middle of the field.
"Longest ball in the air," London said. "It took forever to come down. I was just hoping to make a play."
He did, and the Cougars will now set their sights on Bakersfield.
Morales completed 13-of-23 passes on the night for 194 yards and a touchdown. Stephens led the team with eight catches for 132 yards and added another 50 on the ground.
The Cougars' offense was unable to find much traction in the first half, hampered by a pair of lost fumbles and an interception in the end zone that snuffed out a potential touchdown drive. The stagnant offensive unit converted only 1-of-6 third-down tries and was 0-for-2 in fourth-down conversions in the first half.
Justin Cudworth's block of PCC place-kicker Nick Luevano's 33-yard field goal attempt kept the first quarter scoreless. Cudworth was the team's leading tackler with 10 (five solo).
Pasadena drew first blood when sophomore linebacker Roman Pula picked off a Morales pass and rumbled 29 yards for a touchdown.
Luevano's point-after attempt sailed wide left, and it was 6-0 Lancers with 7:22 to go before halftime.
The Cougars had a shot to get on the scoreboard before the break, but James Rodriguez's 43-yard field goal try drifted off the mark.
PCC second-year head coach James Kuk said his team gave up big plays when it counted most.
"The kids, sometimes the pressure gets to them," Kuk said. "We should have been in a position to put the game away in the fourth quarter. You don't want to go down to the wire, and obviously you want to perform in overtime, but it should have never gotten to that point."
Pasadena will wrap up its season Saturday night when it travels to crosstown rival Glendale Community College.

Volvo Trucks were named recently as the 'Large Goods Vehicle Manufacturer of the Year', at GreenFleet' magazine's awards evening held at Twickenham Rugby Stadium, near London, to recognise pioneers in environmental transport and green fleet management.
The award, which was won against stiff opposition, was handed to Volvo Trucks' Press Officer Nigel Hanwell by impressionist and 'green' activist, Alistair McGowan in recognition of Volvo Trucks' development of environmental Hybrid solutions for both truck and bus fleet operators.'GreenFleet's award ceremony coincided with the launch this summer of series production of the Volvo FE Hybrid truck in 13 markets throughout the EU but, in addition, 'GreenFleet' commented, "Not only has Volvo's Hybrid reduced fuel consumption and carbon emissions by up to 30%, but it has made a potentially noisy urban operation much quieter - an ideal solution for distribution, passenger transport and waste disposal operations in dense, urban environments."Volvo's Hybrid vehicles are parallel hybrids, which means that energy from the diesel engine and 120 kilowatt electric motor can be utilised either together or independently of one another. The system switches automatically between the two power sources. When the hybrid is driven in first gear, the vehicle is powered solely by its electric motor, giving the driver alert throttle response and thus excellent driveability. Then, when the hybrid mode kicks in, the diesel engine and the electric motor will work in parallel to optimise fuel savings.What is more, Volvo's hybrid technology is designed to recover as much as energy as possible during braking and this is stored in the very latest type of lithium ion batteries. No extra recharging from external sources is required."We are particularly proud of our hybrid vehicles as they whisper their way around the streets, which improves the environment for the residents and, of course, for the people who operate the vehicle every day. During acceleration, the noise level is half that of a conventional diesel truck," said Göran Nyberg, Volvo Group UK's Managing Director.This is now the fifth year out of six that Volvo has been successful in winning the 'GreenFleet' 'LGV Manufacturer of the Year' award - excluding a 'GreenFleet' European award won in 2008.- ENDS -
Notes for Editors :1. 'GreenFleet', the magazine is dedicated to promoting a cleaner environment, holds its Awards evening every year to recognise pioneers in environmental transport and green fleet management.2. Attended by many big names in the car, van and truck fleet industry, the Awards - sponsored by O2 - were presented by impressionist, Alistair McGowan, who referred to them as 'the oscars of the fleet industry'.3. Alistair McGowan serves as an ambassador to WWF-UK, part of the global World Wide Fund for Nature, and campaigns on a number of environmental issues.4. The LGV Manufacturer of the Year award - previously HGV Manufacturer of the Year - recognises environmental advancements in the Large Goods Vehicle Sector (over 7.5 Tonnes).

I have not heard a thang about Mayweather coming out of his cave of hiding, have you ?
I figured he would have come out like he did when Pac just fought Cotto and try to get a fight right after to take advantage of Pacs wounds but I have yet to hear.
I reckon he will just stay in hiding while GREAT FIGHTERS FIGHT

Can we get one thing clear. This is NOT a victory for Floyd Gayweather. He's been too busy in jail and fighting with 50¢. This was a victory for Juan Manuel Marquez. He was the one in the ring he was the one that laid Pacquiao out. Floyd had nothing to do with this. All he did was probably watch the fight and released a breath in relief that the pac fight is practically dead.

I'm a Floyd fan but I'd like to see Pacquiao fight again.. But a little tune up not nothing big let him get back into the flow.. He should stay focused on boxing not all this other stuff going on in his life. I'm sure he can bounce back from this loss.. I don't know why alot of people are telling him to retire.. He got caught plain and simple it was a good counter.. They were going head to head on the scorecards not like he was getting a beatdown.. I wonder how his punch resistance would be now though..

Arum won't let pac retire until he says so. Pac is not done he is the same fighter who couldn't handle JMM in 2008 only this time he was careless because he wanted to win by KO. If pac was to fight bum after bum who was coming off KO's he would look great again.
Pac will still fight old man Floyd and Bob will make sure it happens before Pac walks away. Pac is elite and beats some if not most of the best out there. He's not washed up and he knows that.
Funny how "retirement talk" is pacterds way of saying "Yes Pac gets beat by Floyd, I'm sorry we were completely wrong and we humbly admit this from the bottom of our little hearts but we never want to see it happen, so pac just needs to retire and NOW I see exactly why Bob Arum has been reluctant to make the fight".

It's hard for people to understand that Manny more than likely won't be the same. That was a devastating, highlight reel KO that he suffered. Look no further than the recent case of Paul Williams, and Hatton, Jermain Taylor, and even Roy Jones before that. Everyone that wants him to fight on needs to realize they are seriously pushing him into harm's way. It would be sad to ruin an icon that has so many aspirations outside of the world of boxing.

Devastating loss for him and his chin could be damaged but the truth is that he was beating Marquez until he made the mistake
Honestly don't see him ever getting back to the top but he is far from finished
I was rooting for Marquez and delighted he won and in devastating fashion but Manny went out on his shield and shouldn't be ridiculed by fans
No fighter who gets ko'd should be laughed at.Its a tough sport and these fighters make it what it is

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Today is the anniversary of the one of the deadliest tornado outbreaks in U.S. history. And the forecast includes a chance of severe weather.
The National Weather Service's Birmingham division, which serves more than 35 counties in central Alabama, says while this weather system could be the largest since April 27, 2011, the important thing is to stay calm and be prepared.
The weather service this morning posted this bad weather Q & A on its Facebook page. In case you didn't see it, here it is in its entirety:
Q: What area is this information for?
A: The following information is for the counties in central Alabama served by the National Weather Service office in Birmingham. Those counties can be found on the map on this page.
Q: When is the severe weather coming?
A: We still think there will be three windows of opportunity for severe storms over the coming days, between early Monday morning to late Tuesday night.
Q: So, its going to be storming the entire time from Monday morning to Tuesday night?
A: No, not likely. We think that there will be three separate rounds of storms during that time frame.
Q: When will round one be, and what can we expect with it?
A: Round one will come Monday morning, roughly between 3 am and 10 am. Storms that develop in Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, Sunday afternoon will move eastward Sunday night, and could start to affect western Alabama during the overnight hours. While those states to the west are expecting some rough weather on Sunday, we do think the storms will be in a weakened state before they reach Alabama. So, relatively speaking, the severe weather threat with this initial round should be fairly low for central Alabama. Not zero, but low.
Q: How about round two?
A: Another batch of bad storms is expected to develop Monday afternoon in Mississippi and western Tennessee, which will also ultimately move eastward into Alabama. Conditions will likely be much more favorable for severe storms here in central Alabama when those storms arrive. We could see severe storms associated with round two as early as 6 pm Monday night, and it may be 9 or 10 am Tuesday morning before those storms move out of the state to the east.
Q: So, round two will be worse than round one?
A: It appears so. The Storm Prediction Center has placed almost all of central Alabama under a risk of severe storms for Monday and Monday night, and a large portion of central Alabama in a moderate risk for severe storms.
Q: Does that include tornadoes?
A: Yes, there is a chance for tornadoes with this second round of storms. In fact, depending on the timing and other smaller scale factors, there is a chance for some strong tornadoes.
Q: And we will have to deal with a third round of severe storms after that?
A: Perhaps. If the storms associated with round two move out of the area quick enough on Tuesday, and the sun comes out during the day on Tuesday, then there could be yet another batch of storms that develops Tuesday afternoon. If they were to develop, they would also likely affect Alabama.
Q: Is there a tornado threat associated with round three.
A: Yes. Even though there is lower confidence about whether this third round of storms will develop or not, we do think that if it does develop there will be enough ingredients in place for a risk of tornadoes.
Q: I've heard some comparisons with this event to the one on April 27, 2011? Will it really be that bad?
A: Not likely. It takes an extraordinary set of circumstances to produce an event like the one that occurred on April 27, 2011. And while some things this time may be somewhat similar to that day, we honestly don't see the same perfect combination of conditions. Having said that, this is the largest severe weather threat since last April, and probably the largest one since April 2011. So it needs to be taken seriously, just like all severe weather threats should be.
Q: This is starting to freak me out. What should I do?
A: First of all, stay calm. We provide this information not to freak people out, or cause panic, but rather to allow folks to become better prepared and make informed decisions. Check back occasionally for updates before the storms arrive. Have several different ways of getting warnings if they are issued for your area. Think about where you would need to go if a warning is issued for your area.
Q: This was too long, and I didn't read it all. Could you just tell me what to expect in (the central Alabama city/town/county I live in)?
A: Please take the time to read through this information, and refer to our very informative maps and charts that we've prepared. They will have all the information you need to help keep you informed.
Q: What about the conditions in (some other part of the country outside of central Alabama)?
A: Each National Weather Service office around the country has its own web site and Facebook page. If you go to www.weather.gov, you'll see a map of the U.S. Click on the area of the map you are interested in, and you will be taken to the web site of the NWS office that serves that area. Once there, look for the Facebook logo to be taken to that office's Facebook page.

Getting Arkansas State ready for its next task at hand is in progress.
The Red Wolves returned to the practice field here Saturday for their second bowl prep practice for the GoDaddy.com Bowl that will be held in Mobile on January 6.
Interim Head Football Coach for the bowl and retained Defensive Coordinator John Thompson was pleased with the Red Wolves efforts.
"We had our second day of great excitement and high energy," Thompson told AStateNation.com. "We got better today than we were yesterday. We had two good days of work back to back."
Thompson has two very daunting task ahead in the next seven days preparing his ASU team to face perhaps the third best team they have faced all season.
"The biggest thing is it has been 30 days since we played a game," Thompson said. "We have to get our rhythm and timing back, we need everyone to back to playing crisp like we were at the end of the season."
Thompson admitted that No. 25 Kent State also provides a big test.
"They are a very talented football team," Thompson said. "Their right tackle is the best offensive lineman we have faced all year, including Oregon and Nebraska. They have a very solid offensive line overall, they are by far the third best team we have faced all season."
Thompson plans on making sure his team focuses on several things in their next few practices.
"We have to focus on eliminating penalties and turnovers," Thompson said. "We will have officials out at practices the next few days to help in that matter. We have to emphasize ball security on both sides of the football. Protecting it on offense and work on stripping it on the defensive side."
Thompson has also put a major emphasize on working on special teams on a daily basis.
"We have worked on special team stuff at least two to three periods each practice," Thompson said. "If you have watched any bowl games so far this season, there have been a few special team mistakes that have hurt some teams."
Thompson feels that the coaching changes at the end of the season won't be an issue in this year's bowl game.
"We have our entire offensive staff here," Thompson said. "Rhett (Lashlee) will be making the game plan and calls during the game, the only one we are missing is Coach Malzahn. We shouldn't miss a beat, all of the coaches have brought their A game every day and working hard to make sure that we finish what we started this season. We want to send out this great group of seniors out in the right way."
Thompson ran his team through a more physical practice on Saturday.
"It was the first time we went full pads," Thompson said. "We were a little more physical today. We will go full pads again Sunday, we will emphasize situational work the next couple of practices. We will put our guys in some game like situations, to sharpen up a few areas."
Thompson ended Saturday's practice with the offense going against the defense with the winner getting to call out the other group's 25 updowns.
"It was a lot of fun out there," Thompson said. "Being a defensive guy all season it was tough to see my guys get beat by the offense and the defense having to pay the price, but it was a great way to end another great practice."
Stay tuned for daily practice reports, feature stories and video interviews from AStateNation.com.

Hi I am turning 45 this year, am married with 2 kids, work full time and outwardly live a very normal life!
I have this ability to turn up the volume of radio, tv, live music etc. I receive phone calls on my mobile when there is no reception. Over easter I was trying to find radio reception on a stereo by moving the arial and the readout on the stereo was changing as I was moving the arial
I say what people are about to say before they say it and have noticed whilst doing homework with the children that they are able to pick up on my thoughts - either I am projecting them or what?
I have been able to do this for 20 years now and for the most part do not speak about it, for a long time I thought I could have been committed or declared crazy. Does not help when you see news reports of people being jailed for stalking because they believed they communicated with the dj on the radio.
Any advice of what it is and how to control it would be great because it is not going anywhere and if there are others out there with the same abilities maybe we can use it for good purposes.

EAST PALESTINE - The East Palestine Firefighter Association is spearheading an effort to raise funds for this year's Fourth of July fireworks celebration, upon the request of the Chamber of Commerce.
Fire Chief Brett Todd and Association President Rick Gorby said the Chamber only recently asked the association to take over the effort it has been responsible for.
In fact, the Chamber already ordered the fireworks through FNV Fireworks of Enon Valley, Pa., and Gorby said all that is left now is roughly $5,000 to cover the cost.
Chamber President Don Elzer could not be reached for comment Monday or Tuesday evening.
Association Treasurer John Jurjavcic said the association raised $1,500 for the fireworks during the street fair last month.
This is the first time the association is raising funds for anything other than equipment for the fire department, Todd noted.
Had the association not agreed to raising the funds the fireworks display may not have been a possibility, the men said.
"Our members really didn't want us to not have fireworks," Todd said.
The department has provided safety for the fireworks each year, and will do that again this year, with a small crew and some engines on standby not far from the launch site in Village Park.
"There have been fireworks in East Palestine for years," Gorby said.
The fireworks are scheduled for 10 p.m. July 4 and will close out that day's festivities.
The roughly 25-member association was formed in the 1950s and over the last five years alone has purchased about 90 percent of the additional equipment featured on its trucks that is not covered by village funding.
"The actual mission is to support the fire department and its members above and beyond what the city provides," Todd explained.
Some of that equipment is the hydraulic extrication tools now featured on one truck that cost around $12,000, a portable generator and two lights, compartment organizers, a portable hydraulic rescue pump and two rams and two stair chairs for its ambulances.
In all, the association has spent close to $30,000 on equipment alone over the last five years, and that funding is made possible through its annual golf outing and parking cars during Christmas in the Woods, they said.
"The residents of the village of East Palestine support us very much," Gorby said.
The association has complete control of its funding, and members have a say in how it is spent, Todd said.
He added the department is attempting to raise the funds for fireworks without that effort interfering with any of the association's own efforts.
Anyone interested in donating for the fireworks should call Gorby at 330-853-9275, or make checks payable to the East Palestine Firefighter Association, and mail to 67 E. Clark St., East Palestine, 44413.
Firefighters will also be requesting fireworks donations through a boot drive on July 4 at the entrance to Village Park.
"It's a community project so the community should support it," Jurjavcic said.

Big deals for Cablevision, Liberty Media leaders
Just in time for the holidays, top execs at Liberty Media and Cablevision have inked rich new employment contracts.
Greg Maffei cut a five-year deal to remain prexy-CEO of Liberty Media Corp. that takes effect Jan. 1. His pact gives him a base salary of $1.5 million, with a 5% annual increase and an annual bonus targeted at about $3 million, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing by Liberty.
Maffei, who has been CEO of Liberty since early 2006, is coming off a busy year at John Malone's holding company, having completed the spinoff of satcaster DirecTV and the corporate reorg of Liberty's domestic entertainment assets, including the Starz-Encore cablers and Overture Films. Last week, Liberty surprised the biz with the appointment of former HBO chief Chris Albrecht as prexy-CEO of the Starz group.
Maffei's new deal also grants him more than 10 million options for Liberty's three tracking stocks, most of them in the Internet-driven Liberty Interactive shares. The options have a 10-year term and will vest by December 2014.
Cablevision's top three execs also signed five-year contract extensions this month with eye-popping compensation terms. The new deals for Cablevision CEO James Dolan, whose family is the company's controlling shareholder, and longtime Cablevision vice chairman Hank Ratner also incorporate separate contracts covering their exec roles at Madison Square Garden Inc., which Cablevision expects to spin off as a separate entity by the first quarter.
Dolan's five-year contract for Cablevision calls for a base salary of $1.5 million plus a bonus of up to four times that salary, according to an SEC filing by Cablevision on Thursday. Next year, Dolan will also be entitled to receive additional cash and equity compensation targeted at $7 million. He'll likely get similar payments in subsequent years, though the filing cautions that this coin is "not guaranteed" beyond next year.
For his role as executive chairman of MSG, which includes the famed Gotham arena and Radio City Music Hall, Dolan will earn a base salary of $500,000 a year, plus a bonus of up to four times that salary, plus extra cash and equity compensation targeted at $1.75 million a year.
Ratner will earn a base salary of $500,000 a year to continue as Cablevision's vice chairman, and he'll earn $1.2 million a year as prexy-CEO of MSG, plus bonuses of up to four times each salary. He's also in line for additional cash and equity comp targeted at $1.4 million next year for his Cablevision gig, and he'll receive a one-time stock award valued at $1.75 million by March 31. For his role as MSG chief, he's entitled to extra cash and equity comp targeted at $5.4 million next year.
Tom Rutledge, Cablevision's chief operating officer, will take home a base salary of $1.63 million annually and a bonus of up to four times that salary. He was also set to receive a "special payment" of $7.75 million within 10 days of signing the new contract. And like Dolan and Ratner, Rutledge is due to receive extra cash and equity comp targeted at $6.8 million next year.

You'll never find a hotel like this ever again. Not sure if it was because it was Fort Smith or if this is how they all operate, but holy cow. We will try to use you guys from here on out. We've stayed at a lot of hotels from being on the road and this is by far, the most amazing one to date!!!
Best hotel in the area

September 23, 2016
The hotel is located in a good and safe section of the city, close to numerous restaurants and other services. It is relatively new and well maintained. The staff is cordial and very helpful. Considering price and other factors, the hotel provides great value.
Great Service

Is 4K the Future of Sports Production?
Now that 4K TVs are hitting the stores, what's the outlook for 4K sporting events? Among pros surveyed by Miranda Sports Productions, 33.5 percent said HD 1080p would be their first pick for outfitting production trucks three years from now. 4K was their second choice at 28.6 percent, and HD 1080i came in third at 24.4 percent. Lagging far behind were IPTV (4.4 percent), 8K (3.7 percent), 720p (2.6 percent), 3D (1.9 percent), and SD (0.9 percent). Currently the top format in sports production is 1080i at 54.4 percent, followed by 720p and SD, tied at 18.1 percent, and 1080p at 7 percent.

The U.S. Postal Service plans to hire nearly 200 mail carriers in New England over the next few weeks.
The agency says the positions in New Hampshire, Maine and Vermont should last for just under a year, with a starting wage of $15 per hour.
The post office started accepting applications for city carrier assistants on Wednesday. People can apply for the current openings through Feb. 3, and the agency says it plans to have more openings later in February.
Applicants do have to pass an entrance exam for the post office and undergo background checks.

Appeal now closed
Thank you to everyone who donated to our Pakistan appeal. Thanks to your generosity, the funding need has now been met and we are no longer taking donations.
Any donations made through this page will be placed in our emergency appeal fund for use in future emergency responses.
If you would like to make a donation to SOS Children's Villages Pakistan, please visit the regular or one-off donation pages. If you can, please consider sponsoring a child in Pakistan or if you are Islamic please read more about zakat giving.
SOS Children's Villages is ready to provide shelter to unaccompanied children who become lost or orphaned as a result of the ongoing Pakistan flooding disaster. But now SOS Children's Villages is also aiming to provide funds to give 100,000 food packages as well as medicines and tents to the people of Pakistan worst affected by the disaster.
The flooding in Pakistan has created a large humanitarian disaster. According to the UN, the death toll currently stands at 1,600 people, with 14 million or 8 percent of the population now affected. The UN says the disaster is the largest the country has faced: millions of people have been displaced and there has been mass devastation to crops. It is estimated that half a million tonnes of both wheat and sugar may have been destroyed by the floods. As Ramadan has started, it is important to source local food for many affected by the flooding.
Mrs Souriya Anwar, President of SOS Children's Villages Pakistan, has said: "Fortunately none of the SOS facilities anywhere in the country are affected, nor are they are likely to be in the future, as they are in safe areas. However, as you are aware large areas of the country and millions of people are affected. We have offered to the authorities in all regions that we will take responsibility for any orphaned, abandoned or lost child."
To provide relief for children and their families in affected regions in Pakistan, SOS Children's Villages will be working in tandem with the charities Concerned Citizens Society of Pakistan (CCP) and the Fatima Memorial Hospital System. SOS Children's Villages has worked with CCP in the past.
We ask for your support in funding these relief efforts for flood-affected families in Pakistan.
If you would like to make a donation, please go to the Donate page, and specify in the 'special instructions' box, that you would like your donation to go towards food packages in Pakistan.
SOS Children's Villages already has teams on the ground with child-care and trauma expertise, and has been in Pakistan long enough to have had two sets of commemorative stamps issued for us! We have a strong history of providing emergency relief for disaster areas. In 2005, after the Kashmir earthquake, an Emergency Relief Programme was launched, providing aid to children and families across the affected area. In the aftermath, the Pakistani Government asked SOS Children's Villages to care for unaccompanied children separated from their families by the earthquake.

Works well with parmesan, gruyère or cheddar - perfect sauce to make macaroni cheese and many other dishes too.
- 40g butter
- 40g plain flour
- 570ml milk
- 100g cheese (parmesan, gruyère or cheddar all work well), grated
- black pepper
- nutmeg, grated
Handy tip
For a thicker sauce use less milk, for a thinner sauce use more!
- Melt the butter in a saucepan on a low heat
- Stir in the flour and cook for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly, until you have a smooth paste
- Slowly pour the milk in, stirring all the time
- Bring to the boil, stirring with a balloon whisk, until thickened
- Add the grated cheese, stir until melted
- Add flavourings/seasoning (black pepper, mustard, grated nutmeg) to taste and stir well
Why not try...
- Bechamel sauce - remove the cheese for a white sauce, which is perfect to make lasagne
- Mushroom sauce - fry some button mushrooms and add to white sauce
- Parsely sauce - add 3 tablespoons of finely chopped fresh parsley, stir well - perfect with fish

Essays on Capabilities and Security
I've begun a set of small, introductory essays on various aspects of the EROS design. These notes are intended to be more explanatory than the design notes.
Norm Hardy has also written a number of essays, which you can find here. Norm's tend more toward pondering of serious issues in capability systems and security, while these notes tend to be more introductory in nature.
Introductory Material
These essays are intended for a beginning audience. Their purpose is to define terms or explain concepts so that people can join the discussion on capability security and capability systems.
Notes on Specific Issues
These essays address some specific topics about the design of the EROS system, often with an eye toward explaining why EROS is structured in a particular way. My hope is that documenting these thoughts will make it easier to translate these ideas to other systems, or make it clear why such translation is difficult.

AUBURN HILLS -- The idea, of course, was to deny Kobe Bryant the ball.
Shouldn't that have been the idea all along?
Tayshaun Prince was thinking that, as Bryant threatened to single-handedly beat the Detroit Pistons on Thursday night. Make somebody else shoot, Prince thought. Get the ball out of Kobe's hands.
At the end, the Pistons did. Somebody else shot the ball, somebody else missed (it was Lamar Odom, if you must know), and the Pistons held on for a 90-89 win over Bryant's Los Angeles Lakers. Prince's 3-pointer with 4.4 seconds left held up as the game-winner.

Don't listen to CK, he's too lazy to actually use a Sharpedo and thus he doesn't realize its awesomeness.
In CK's mind, 120 - 90 = 45.And yes, I'm very anti-sacred sword. There're very few situation one wouldn't want that extra 45 BP; especially when you're using an unboosted Terrakion set; and if there are, it's my opinion that you're probably playing Terrakion wrong. Take my opinion as you will, of course, but I really recommend X-scissor over Sacred Sword, and if not that, Rock Polish.

Darkness surrendered to the Saturday dawn, unveiling a canvas of clear blue sky illuminated by the heatless light of a harshly cold winter morning. It was January in Boston. I backed my car into an empty parking space on Paul Sullivan Way, in the shadows of the Pine Street Inn homeless shelter. The digital clock on the dashboard read 6:58 AM. Across the street, a blanketed man hunkered down in an abandoned doorway. Skirting patches of ice on a broken sidewalk, I rounded the corner onto Harrison Avenue and entered the shelter. The smell of alcohol and rotten feet hit my nose. Inside the shelter's medical clinic, a seasoned nurse was already tending to a crowd of patients.

Scott Widmeyer, Chairman and CEO, Widmeyer Communications
Scott Widmeyer knows that meaningful social change doesn't happen overnight. Rather than chasing the issues of the moment, Widmeyer has built his business working with clients who want to invest in the future by focusing on issues that must be championed over time, such as healthcare reform, economic security, racial equity and environmental protection. A powerful example of the merits of Widmeyer's approach is his work over a 25-year period on education reform. His experience creating the initial platform for education reform while working with the iconic Al Shanker at the American Federation of Teachers led Widmeyer to found his own firm to help address the challenge. Since that time, on behalf of education reform advocates, Widmeyer Communications has put critical issues on the table, informed the debate and helped achieve important education results. He has since expanded the agency beyond its education base into vibrant practice areas including healthcare, environment, energy and climate. — SVC
Social cause he feels most connected to: "Throughout my career, I have dedicated my work to social justice with a major emphasis in education, equality and health. I believe this motto sums it up: 'Little good is accomplished without controversy and no civic evil is overcome without publcity.' When I was college newspaper editor in the 1970s, I adopted this motto from the Mississippi publisher, Hodding Carter. And, it remains ever present in the work I do in the 21st century."

Craig Needhammer broke through the line into the second level of Lebanon Valley's defense and had a safety in his sights. From his left, he saw a blue streak flash in front of him and knew he was in the clear.
The Lycoming running back saw, as he made a small cut to his left, the blue flash was receiver John Sibel coming to take care of that pesky safety. Sixty-one yards later Needhammer crossed the goal line with the Warriors' second huge offensive play of the day that helped lead to a 21-13 win over the Flying Dutchmen.
Lycoming also got a 47-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Jenny to Jarrin Campman in the second quarter for the Warriors' first two plays of the season of over 40 yards. Lycoming, coming off a huge win over Delaware Valley a week ago, remained unbeaten in the MAC (2-0, 2-1 overall) while also handing Lebanon Valley (2-1, 1-1 MAC) its first loss of the season. Through three weeks, Lycoming is one of only four unbeaten teams in MAC play, and it has an opportunity to knock off another one next week when it travels to Albright.

MARK NANCE/Sun-Gazette
Lycoming College running back Craig Needhammer looks for running room against Lebanon Valley on Saturday at David Person Field. Needhammer rushed for over 100 yards and the Warriors defeated Lebanon Valley, 21-13. View additional photos at cu.sungazette.com
"I told the guys, I'm not that bright, but if we were in first place before (Saturday) and we're 1-0 (Saturday), we at least have a share of the lead," Lycoming head coach Mike Clark said with a chuckle. "We're worried about us. We're still seven weeks away (from the end of the season), so if we can just be 1-0 every week, and I know it's coachspeak, but we have a shot."
Lycoming had been far from a quick-strike offense in its first two games of the season - which included the offense failing to score a point in the season opener. The Warriors coaching staff this week saw an opportunity to maybe look for some big plays because Lebanon Valley likes to walk up its safeties toward the line of scrimmage.
So on first down at the Lebanon Valley 47-yard line on the first play of the second quarter, Campman ran a double move on the outside getting the Dutchmen defender turned around and Jenny hit him perfectly in stride for a 47-yard touchdown strike on a post pattern. It's the longest completion of Jenny's career.
Jenny came into the game averaging just 5.5 yards per pass attempt and just 9.7 yards per completion. The league average coming into Week 3 was 11.2 yards per completion and 6.4 yards per attempt.
The 47-yard strike to Campman was really the first time this year the Warriors have taken a shot at stretching the field. And the play was executed perfectly. Jenny, who was flushed from the pocket much of the day, stayed put as the pocket formed around him and he could step into the throw to hit Campman in stride.
"We haven't really talked about (stretching the field), but we do talk about when the opportunity presents itself we have to capitalize," Jenny said. "For the most part I think we did that today and Jarrin ran a great route."
"The games have been kind of weird. There's a little bit of wind, and even though it wasn't substantial today, there was still a little more wind than I'd like," Clark said of trying to hit big plays. "I thought Tyler threw the ball well early and the big one was nice. "People know now we can hold up and we can show the pass, but we still have to get better at throwing the ball downfield."
The big touchdown to Campman was the longest pass play since Jenny hit Matt Atkinson for a 34-yard gain on a broken play in the season opener against Brockport. In three games, Lycoming has just nine plays of 15 yards or more, and four of them came in Saturday's win.
Only four of those big plays have gone for 20 yards or more. Eight of those nine big plays have come on the pass. The only one that was a run was Needhammer's 61-yard touchdown in the third quarter that seemed to put a nice little bow on Lycoming's win.
"It's definitely a jump-start and right off the bat with Jarrin, it was big," said Needhammer, a sophomore from Lansdale. "It just set the tone for the rest of the game. And it's good for the offense because the longer the drive goes, the more of a chance you have to make a mistake. So a quick (touchdown) is great."
After Campman's touchdown reception, the Lycoming defense kept the momentum going when Ryan Mihoci forced a fumble and Tyler Denike recovered at the Lebanon Valley 25-yard line. Seven plays later, Parker Showers scored on a third-down run from the 1-yard line to push Lycoming's lead to 14-3 against a Dutchmen defense that had given up an average of just 14 points in the first two weeks.
Lebanon Valley quarterback Leo Kyte returned from an ankle injury he sustained in the Dutchmen's first series midway through the second quarter and provided the Dutchmen with an offensive spark by completing 4 of 4 passes for 33 yards on a 60-yard drive that was set up by a Jared Cicero interception. Kyte capped the drive with a 9-yard pass to Joey Miller for a touchdown.
But it was the last touchdown of the day for an offense that scored 30 points in a Week 1 win over Montclair State, and 47 in a Week 2 win over Misericordia.
"Gutty performance by Leo," Lebanon Valley head coach Jim Monos said. "Leo had command (Saturday), I thought."
It took just one play in the third quarter for Lycoming to put the game away, and it was another one of the big plays Clark thought was possible against Lebanon Valley's safeties. With the Dutchmen's safeties playing low, Needhammer said it becomes easier to crease the defense for a big run.
So when he took the handoff on a run over the left guard in the fourth quarter, he saw the crease which was the start of a big run. A Sibel, a sophomore receiver, sweeping in from the left side to clear out the safety, was the finish to that big run.
Lycoming's longest run of the year prior to Needhammer's had been a 13-yard keeper from Atkinson.
"I saw him, so I knew I could take the outside and that makes my job that much easier," Need- hammer said.
"We thought we might be able to pop that one, too," Clark said. "When we motion to trips, their safeties kind of bump over but they're still low and Craig can see that. Then the guy that should be in the backside 'C' or 'B' gap wasn't where he was supposed to be. We talked all week about something like that happening, and it did."

We'll also be talking about Grant Hill and his response to the Fab Five documentary that criticized him and Duke for the type of player the Blue Devils recruit and the other comments the group made about the school.

Nature a Hallmark at Lake of Isles
Lake of Isles is approximately a two-hour drive from Cape Cod and only minutes from Foxwoods Resort Casino. But it feels like you're in a landscape of unspoiled isolation, encircled by trees as you stroll along the rolling fairways on a dramatic and impeccably maintained golf course.
4th Hole at Lake of Isles
Located in North Stonington, Conn., this Rees Jones-designed layout is truly championship caliber, with exceptional bunkering, thick rough, undulating greens and magnificent elevation changes that provide dazzling panoramas.
The public North Course opened in 2005 and was immediately showered with praise as one of the finest in the Nutmeg State. Owned by the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, it's laid out on 900 wooded acres, with virtually every hole its own private hideaway.
Even the process of journeying from hole to hole is a ride through the great outdoors, with cart paths taking golfers on long and winding excursions through the woods and across a series of bridges built over 90-acre Lake of Isles. Playing this course feels like a combination golf/nature experience, where spotting a deer lounging alongside a green is hardly rare.
No. 3 at Lake of Isles
During a recent visit I stayed at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods, where from my hotel room window on the 30th floor I saw nothing but woods for miles and a tantalizing glimpse of the golf course in the distance. It would be difficult to find two more extreme atmospheres than Foxwoods and Lake of Isles. It's a bit like going from midtown Manhattan to the Black Hills of South Dakota - in five minutes.
You leave your hotel room, walk past the endlessly ringing bells and whistles of the casino's slot machines, and suddenly you're in a peaceful setting that blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings.
The North Course at Lake of Isles has five tiers of tee boxes on every hole, and be forewarned that it's essential to select the one that suits your game. The tips are set back at 7,252 yards, while the golds are no bargain at 6,717.
At some courses, shorter hitters can push the envelope and play from a longer distance. Not here. Many holes demand carries over hazards to reach the fairway, and if you're not realistic about how far you can hit your tee shots, you'll be taking a succession of penalty strokes and digging again and again into your ball pocket.
I played from the silver markers (6,304 yards) and it provided more than enough challenge. The theme of Jones's design is evident from the opening hole, a par-5 with an elevated tee, a forced carry over a hazard, and an approach to an uphill, well-bunkered green.
A majority of the holes begin at raised tees - some so high that they offer spectacular views over the tree line to other holes. Hazards in the form of waste areas or water must be carried off the tee on nine holes, while a deep ravine lurks on the approach at the par-5 15th.
2nd Hole at Lake of Isles
Sixty-nine bunkers enter play, many of which I had the unpleasant experience of visiting. This isn't an easy golf course, but it's a fair one. Fairways are relatively wide and you won't be tormented by quirky bounces. Solid shots will be rewarded. And no holes are alike. There are right and left doglegs, along with approaches to some greens that are elevated and others set in a valley. Literally, I used every club in my bag.
The most memorable hole is the par-3 11th, which plays over water off a heightened tee, with views of two wooden bridges long and right of the green. The downhill par-3 17th also offers dazzling vistas. Behind the green is a row of trees with the lake in the background.
Regardless of how you score, you'll want to linger afterwards in the rustic clubhouse, which has cedar-shake siding, stone pillars and a spacious porch overlooking the lake. Spend a few moments there, and that incessant casino cacophony becomes a distant memory.
