David Ubben (3:00 PM)
Once again, here we are. Let's get this party started. Fire away. I'll get to as many questions as I can today.
Patty (Dallas)
Hi Ubbs! Just wanted to know your thoughts on the progression of the Tech D according to reports coming out of Lubbock this spring. Should we be encouraged? I am cautiously optimistic at this point. Thanks!
David Ubben (3:02 PM)
Yeah, I think it's safe to feel pretty good at this point. Seth Doege is a somewhat proven commodity, and to see his stat lines in some of these scrimmages has to be encouraging. Spring practice is somewhat of a zero sum game (those same stat lines could have you doubting Doege), but the defense was wayyyy behind the offense last year. Could be more balance.
Bill Snyder (Manhattan. KS)
Did I make the right move by promoting Tom Hayes to my D. Coordinator spot?
David Ubben (3:03 PM)
It's a little too early to say. You never know. Snyder doesn't allow much--if any--media access to his coordinators, so it's tough to draw much insight from them. That's exactly how Snyder wants it. The proof will be in the next couple falls.
Alex O. (Austin)
Ubbs, I'd better see my name come up on your top 25 list..... only 4 more to go, so you still got time.
David Ubben (3:03 PM)
I don't know about that, Mr. Okafor. I wouldn't hold your breath just yet.
Jim (Seattle, WA)
Any word on OU moving a conference game to September, maybe the KU game?
David Ubben (3:05 PM)
Yep, Jim. The Big 12 released its schedule last month, and Oklahoma plays Kansas State on Sept. 22.
okkids (Los Angeles)
Does OU reload or rebuild this year?
David Ubben (3:06 PM)
Definitely reload. There are still a lot of great pieces there for Oklahoma. The Sooners are a top 10 team and a slight Big 12 favorite in my book for 2012. They'll be hanging around, and have enough talent to win a national title.
Justin (Houston)
Where do you see the Red Raiders in 2 years and how many dc will we blow through in that time?
David Ubben (3:08 PM)
Well, big picture, Tech is pretty excited about Michael Brewer, and just signed two great recruiting classes, so you've got to feel good there. Tuberville has a lot of familiarity with Art Kaufman, and I think he knows the revolving door at DC has been a problem. I'd be surprised if Tech wasn't hanging in the Big 12 title hunt and Kaufman wasn't still there.
Brady (Dallas, TX)
Does the re-tooled offense at Baylor come out of the gate with the same vigor this year? Also, do we really have a prayer of making a run for the conference title with so little defense and so many skill positions rotating green players?
David Ubben (3:09 PM)
I'm not buying Baylor as a Big 12 title contender, or even a team with a legitimate shot to win it, but I'll probably pick them to return to a bowl game. The offense will be really good. Not top three nationally good, but top 3-4 in the Big 12, probably. The defense can't be worse, right?
Josh (Dallas, TX)
Do you think the newcomers (WVU and TCU) will account for 12 conference wins this season?
David Ubben (3:10 PM)
Tommy Tubberville (Lubbock, TX)
What are the chances that I pull out 9 wins this year?
David Ubben (3:10 PM)
30 percent.
damian (durant oklahoma)
now that we have one of the best running backs in texas are we gonna have an even more high powered offense?
David Ubben (3:12 PM)
I'll assume you're talking about Oklahoma's latest 2013 commit. I'd say you're getting ahead of yourself, Damian. Dominique Whaley, a walk-on, beat out guys like Jermie Calhoun, Brennan Clay and Roy Finch to be the starter last year. You never quite know in college football recruiting. I wouldn't get real wrapped up in one player, especially one almost a year away from signing.
ButtCream (Houston TX)
Has Austin given up on Connor Brewer? His camps and UnderA game were not impressive. Just curious if the QB spot is wide open this year.
David Ubben (3:15 PM)
Ha. Come on, now. Given up on a player that's gone through what, two weeks of practice now? No way. It's going to be tough for him to win the QB job in 2012 (not impossible), but the guy has been on campus like two months. Good grief, people. It's David Ash's job to lose, but Ash himself was a fourth-string true freshman this time last year. He wasn't exactly a world-beater in 2011. Give it time.
Donnie (Oklahoma)
Are you going to any Spring Games? If so will you be sharing with us?
David Ubben (3:16 PM)
Doubtful, but I'll be making a few campus visits in coming months.
Justin (Denver)
Love the blog Ubbs. Do you think Optimus Klein develops enough as a passer this offseason to make people truly respect that part of his game. Or will teams have success just loading up the box and stopping that read-option game that won't catch anyone by surprise next year?
David Ubben (3:17 PM)
I think he's already made teams respect it. Maybe not fear it, but he can complete passes and burn teams deep if they don't account for his arm. He could use some more consistency, but he's a lot better than his release looks.
Queen P (Lubbock)
Ubben, you stated that Baylor has the best receivers in the Big 12. What are you basing that off of?
David Ubben (3:18 PM)
Watching them. And OSU losing a bunch of guys. That could change by the fall, but I'm buying on Baylor's receiving corps this year. TCU, WVU could grab that title, too. The league is loaded at the position ... again.
Jay (Hepler, Kansas)
Who is likely going to make the bigger stride as a passer this spring, Collin Klein or David Ash?
David Ubben (3:19 PM)
Ooohhh, tough question, Jay. I'll go with Ash. He's got a lot further to go, and he'll have the benefit of a lot of offseason reps for the first time.
Rickey (Thomas)
Has Texas impressed you on the recruiting trail this year? It seems to me that Diaz and Harsin are actually recruiting guys who will fit into their schemes the best, rather than by how many stars are next to the kids' names.
David Ubben (3:22 PM)
I'd agree with that, Rickey. I think Texas saw their evaluation in recruiting was lacking a bit, and are working to fix that. If I'm UT, I'm most excited about the offensive linemen and running backs headed to Austin. Important for the direction the program wants to go.
Ben (Chicago)
Which team scores the most points (average) in the Big 12 this year?
David Ubben (3:22 PM)
West Virginia or Baylor.
Gil (San Antonio)
Does K-State have shot at the Big12 Title and if so how about playing in the National Championship game????
David Ubben (3:23 PM)
A shot at the Big 12 title, yes. National title? I'm not buying that.
Dave (MD)
Do you think going up agains an excellent defense in practice helps or hurts a young quarterback develop? On one hand, if you can compete against the best you can compete against anyone, on the other hand, it might make you tentative and rob you of a chance to build confidence.
David Ubben (3:24 PM)
You're making our heads spin, Dave. Certainly some merit to both. To me, it depends on the quarterback. For young guys, I'd lean toward having a poor defense, but at that point, I think you probably limit how good that QB can be.
Shane (Dallas)
If your Neal Brown, who do you go with at RB if Stephens is not 100% come Fall. Kenny Williams seemed to be catching on at the end of the year. Daniels had a great start until suspended, but sounds like he is doing well in Spring practices. Washington is another ? due to injury. Sadale Foster even sounds to be having a good spring. Who do you play and do you Redshirt someone for injury or to save a year?
David Ubben (3:26 PM)
It's pretty simple to me. Factor Stephens in. If there are three guys better than him on opening day, redshirt him. You need three to get through the season, maybe more with injuries. We'll see. They're backed up at the position, but take three and redshirt the others.
Jack Meofe (Austin)
How far can UT really go if the quarterback position does'nt improve drastically?
David Ubben (3:26 PM)
Rob (Boise)
To Rickey (Thomas): Harsin does that a lot. He's not so concerned with the star-power of a player. He pulls in the best players for his coaching style, and brings out the best in them. He did that at Boise State, and we had an outstanding defense.
David Ubben (3:27 PM)
Yep. The task of development is a whole lot different at Texas than at Boise, but if you do it at Texas, look out. It's a little early to get a feel for that just yet, but UT has a lot of offensive players loaded with potential and remaining eligibility.
matt (texas)
do you think that Mike coming back to OU will have a similar impact as Wade Phillips going to HOU this year? Best free agent coach pickup?
David Ubben (3:28 PM)
Definitely the best pickup. I expect OU to be much better on defense this year. Better than Texas? No.
Shane (Dallas)
I'll bet ya a package of double stuffed Oreo's Tech's receivers will run circles around Baylor's by the end of the year. And I mean double stuffed, not that cheap single stuff. Amaro should be one of the league's best tight end's, Moore will hopefully be back to what he was early last year. Add to that Marquez, Bell, Williams, Torres, etc. etc... I'm pretty confident on this one.
David Ubben (3:28 PM)
Fry those babies up and I'll see you on the other side.
Ben (Chicago)
David, who is the most overrated coach and underrated coach in the Big 12?
David Ubben (3:30 PM)
Paul Rhoads takes the underrated coach by the distance between Lubbock to Morgantown.
Will U (Tupelo)
Whats up UBBS!Let's play a hypothetical out really fast. Let's say USC aces the pac-12. And my cats(or stinky OU) ace the big 12. Let's also say that all SEC teams lose a regular season game. Do you see NCG of pac-12 vs big 12?Thanks!
David Ubben (3:31 PM)
Yep. But USC would torch K-State, I'm afraid. Hard as it may be to see Lane Kiffin beating Bill Snyder.
Bear Cub (Waco)
David, why do you think Tech fans get so angry when you talk up Baylor?
David Ubben (3:31 PM)
I have no idea. Everybody gets angry when I talk up Baylor, but especially Tech.
David Ubben (3:32 PM)
Maybe it was because Tech had beaten Baylor like 79 times in a row before last year.
Josh (Dallas, TX)
Ward/Moore, estimated receiving yeards this fall combined if they stay healthy?
David Ubben (3:32 PM)
Dana (Morgantown, WV)
I say we go 10-2 this year, what do you say?
David Ubben (3:32 PM)
I could see that easily. Maybe even better.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
Do the Big XII newcomers who will make the most impact next season on offense and defense both reside in Austin (RB-Gray, DTs-Moore or Brown)?
David Ubben (3:33 PM)
I'm not buying Gray as a huge impact player yet. I could definitely see Brandon Moore or Malcom Brown making some big plays on the defensive line for the Longhorns.
Levi (Ames)
Which Iowa State game are you going I come up to do you can try a Super Dog!
David Ubben (3:33 PM)
Not sure yet, but the Superdog sounds amazing.
Andy (Elk Grove, Ca)
Do you think the switch from the 3-3-5 stack to a 3-4 will be smooth this year for WVU? Will it be an effective defense in the B12?
David Ubben (3:35 PM)
Yeah, you can do a lot of different things in this league. A&M had a lot of success with the 3-4 in 2010. Granted, WVU doesn't have Von Miller, but if you put enough speed on the field, you can be solid. I haven't gotten a great, up-close look at WVU's defensive personnel, but the 3-4 can definitely be successful in this league if your backers are fast enough and can cover.
Hook 'Em (Austin)
What do you think the RB rotation for Texas will be this year? Maybe run more options with them and Ash?
David Ubben (3:36 PM)
I think you've got to do some fun stuff this year and find ways to get Malcolm Brown, Joe Bergeron and Johnathan Gray all on the field at the same time. I'll be disappointed if they don't. Give me the wishbone or give me death.
Art Briles (Waco, TX)
What will ESPN's excuse be this year when Baylor beats Texas for the 3rd time in a row? Will it be another year of "Texas is SO young?"
David Ubben (3:36 PM)
I believe my excuse last year was "RG3 and Kendall Wright are way better than anyone Texas is putting on the field."
Latty (Texas)
How shocked will you be when Baylor is at or below .500 next year?
David Ubben (3:37 PM)
Not that surprised. I'm picking Baylor to win 6-8 games. Could definitely underachieve.
Poke (columbia)
OSU's receiving corps seems underrated, no?
David Ubben (3:39 PM)
Maybe a little bit, but losing Michael Harrison hurts a lot. He was a future star in the making. Real disappointing to see him check out of the program.
Tony (Richmond, CA)
Does Kenny Stills rebound this season and replace Justin Blackmon as the best receiver in the conference?
David Ubben (3:39 PM)
gary (wheeling,WV)
do you see tavon austin still being the leading all purpose man next year
David Ubben (3:40 PM)
Hate to break it to you, 'Eers, but it takes a lot to do that in this league. He may very well take that title, but it won't be easy.
Longhorn2014 (Austin)
Do you think Texas has a shot at winning the conference this year? From what I've heard Ash is gaining more and more confidence now, Malcolm Brown is healthy now, and the defense looks scary if it lives up to the potential. What do you project UT's highpoint to be this season?
David Ubben (3:40 PM)
It's possible, but I have a hard time seeing Texas actually going out and winning the whole thing. I'd give them about a 20 percent chance to win the league.
Michael (Austin)
If Ash is improved (I saw him on Saturday and he was clearly the front-runner) do you think 10-2? If so then we beat everyone but...
David Ubben (3:41 PM)
Yeah, somewhere around there. In the hunt for the Big 12 title, but probably not good enough to win it. 3rd or 4th, factoring in tiebreakers.
dc85 (Dallas)
Ubbs, would it be possible for a 8-4 or 7-5 A&M to make the Cotton Bowl with a 9-3 or 10-2 Texas next year, considering the draw the game would get?
David Ubben (3:41 PM)
PLEASE. The Cotton Bowl would kill to make this game happen, especially just a year after the split.
David Ubben (3:42 PM)
A few more questions before we wrap a pretty quiet week in the chat.
W (Anaheim)
David - Will K-State repeat as Texas State Champion again?
David Ubben (3:42 PM)
Pretty tough to do. Gotta face a new team this year, and a new band of purple bandits out in Fort Worth. TCU is probably the best team in Texas this year.
James (Morgantown)
are you a magic 8 ball?
David Ubben (3:43 PM)
Ask me again later.
Poke (columbia)
OSU or UT for the Big12? Who has the best chance?
David Ubben (3:45 PM)
Meh, I don't know. It's close between the two of them. I'd probably say Texas by a hair. They'll both be about the 4th or 5th best teams in the league in December, methinks.
Rickey (Denison, TX)
Your fellow blogger AA was trying to put the Big 12 on blast yesterday for only playing 6 AQ opponents (excluding ND) vs 14 from the Big East and SEC, 19 from the ACC, 11 from the Big Ten, and 9 from the PAC-12. When you adjust for the extra conference games in the Big 12 and PAC 12 (and less games from the BE), those 2 conferences actually have the strongest schedules. What do you make of this?
David Ubben (3:46 PM)
You pretty much hit on all the points, Rickey. SEC and Big Ten only play eight games. Big 12 could be well-served to schedule some better teams, but there aren't a ton of egregious games in the league.
David Ubben (3:46 PM)
That's it for this week, folks. Thanks for coming by.

At Texas Stadium Today, A Few Former Dallas Cowboys Paid Their Last Respects
Nate Newton remembered his time at Texas Stadium: "I lived in an unreal world for 13 years."
Patrick Michels
A couple weeks ago, you may recall, we brought you a look inside what's left of Texas Stadium, which, to our eyes, looked just about ready to come down.
Inside the stadium Stephen Revile, A&R Demolition's operations manager for the job, described how the landmark would come down, in "a minute-a-half, tops." Revile said he'd worked other major demolitions, including Reunion Arena, but was clearly looking forward to this one. "This will be my biggest accomplishment when we're done," he said.
A&R Demolition operations manager Stephen Revile explains the path the explosions will take around the stadium on April 11.
Brad Sham offered one final welcome to Texas Stadium.
floated the idea of a half-demolition, like the Coliseum in Rome, to leave Irving with a world-class tourist destination.

Pitbull talks about his performance at Sofia Vergara's wedding
More than a week after Sofia Vergara and Joe Manganiello tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida, one of the wedding performers has opened his mouth about the unforgettable night. It was rapper Pitbull.
While speaking to a leading entertainment channel, he told that it was great fun. He also congratulated Joe and Sofia, who, he believes, knows how to have fun. The rapper told that by the time he was on the 3rd track, she was like a general.
He further carried on that she told her girls to go to the stage and they got up there and they were just having a great time. The mother, the father, all the bridesmaids, who were really gorgeous, was all having fun. It was definitely a blessing to play at her wedding.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is trying to boost the chances of gun legislation that could be in jeopardy this week with a trip to the home state of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Obama is visiting the Connecticut capital of Hartford, where last week the governor signed a law with widespread restrictions on firearms. The Senate could take up national legislation this week.
Obama plans to meet with Sandy Hook families and argue that lawmakers have an obligation to the children killed and other victims of gun violence to act on his proposals.
Senators have yet to reach a deal to pass expanded background checks for gun sales. An assault weapons ban doesn't appear to have enough votes, and the prospect for a ban on high-capacity magazines also appears bleak.

You have 3 options for the power management properties of the Network Card:
Option 1: Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
Option 2: Allow this device to wake the computer
Option 3: Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer
The different possible combinations which exist along with their DWORD values (in decimal and hex) are:
Option 1 and option 2 are checked, Option 3 is un-checked: This is default and hence its value is 0
Option 1, option 2 and option 3 are all checked: The value becomes 0x100 (256)
Only option 1 is checked: The value becomes 0x110 (272)
Option 1 is un-checked (Note that option 2 and option 3 will be greyed out as a result): The value becomes 0x118 (280)
A conflict happens for the DWORD value for the last step where Option 1 is only checked, if the following steps are done exactly as mentioned below:
If you check all the boxes, then the value is 256 (0x100).
If you un-check the box 1, which will grey out the other two, the value becomes 280 (0x118).
If you check all the boxes except, the 3rd one, PNPCapabilites value becomes 0.
If step 2 is repeated, the value becomes 24 (0x18).
Now, the values are different for the same setting because the way it has been achieved.
For deployment purpose, to keep the value for

cleared, one needs to use the value 24 (0x18). Reason being, by default the option 1 and 2 are checked, which is same as DWORD value 0 of this key (even though the key does not exist in the registry by default). Hence, creating this key with a value 24 (0x18) in the deployment script/build process will inject this entry in the registry which in turn should uncheck the first box during server startup.
In the same way, if you want to keep the
Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power
checked and the Option 2 and 3 cleared, the required value would be 10 (0x16).
: This is entirely by design.

The really nice thing here is the daily moves in silver is EIGHT sessions consecutively positive. My lower probability longer range models suggest $25.77 silver over 2 weeks.

State bill would allow tribes federal jurisdiction in civil, criminal matters
- Feb 21, 2012 at 2:28PM
In 1953, the federal government began the process of terminating its relationship with tribes and transferring jurisdiction on tribal matters to states — even though tribes had treaties with the U.S. government, not the states, and Article VI of U.S. Constitution says that treaties are "the supreme law of the land." A lot of damage was done by the time termination policies ended in 1968. And now, a state bill nearing approval by the House and Senate would allow tribes in Washington to reverse another remnant of that era and have jurisdiction over civil and criminal matters returned to the federal government.

It doesn't matter how old you are, and it doesn't matter whether you're a 30-year veteran or a new school bus driver; attitude matters. I can't count how many times we've heard veteran drivers speak of the "good old days" when it was acceptable to throw students into a seat - or throw them off the bus. Drivers used to make unruly students ride in the stairwells, and some even used physical force on children. I can remember my bus driver from 25 years ago, cigarette dangling from his lips, unshaven and intimidating. Thus, the public's perception of the school bus driver is not completely without merit; it's based on what people remember.
Will the parents of the children we are transporting today have the same type of memories? Is this the fault of the driver? No, drivers in the past did as was expected, and did it with much less training and education than we enjoy today. They didn't have it easy as they paved the way for today's drivers, and we are grateful for their experience and accumulated knowledge. Through the years, however, the school bus driving "job" has turned into the school bus driving "profession."
Unload the stereotype
Depending on which state we drive in, we meet many standards to obtain and maintain our status as school bus drivers: special licenses, annual physicals, fingerprinting, random drug-and-alcohol screening, physical performance testing, written exams and annual road tests are some of the things that come to mind. New drivers will tell you that they are surprised at how much effort it takes to become school bus drivers. Yes, they must meet stringent requirements, but they are doing it successfully, and if you look closely, you will see their pride growing as they clear each hurdle. More importantly, training has improved as well. Student management, positive reinforcement, dealing with parents and dealing with violence are just a few of the topics covered to help us become more professional. Whether a veteran driver or a rookie, the New Generation driver thirsts for knowledge and is eager to try new ideas. Drivers with the Old Generation attitude, however, believe that they already know all that is needed. They believe "kids these days" are spoiled, violent brats who need to be put in their place. This driver, needless to say, ends up frustrated and, more often than not, unsuccessful when it comes to maintaining a cooperative environment on the bus.
There is nothing more frustrating than to see drivers who exhibit Old Generation attitudes, or anything so refreshing as a veteran driver who is embracing new ideas. Any new driver worth keeping will appreciate that it is not as easy to get into our profession as they thought. Those who don't want to make the effort will be better off in a different industry anyway. Wouldn't it be a wonderful idea to make veteran drivers, who have embraced their training and shown themselves to be good student managers, temporary mentors for the new hires? Not only would this ensure that new drivers would be getting positive advice from their peers, being chosen as a mentor also would give the positive veteran drivers a "pat on the back" that they need and deserve. As the children we are transporting today grow up and entrust their own children to new school bus drivers, only then - when today's pupils look back at the caring, professional way we did our jobs - will the stereotype start to disappear. The Old Generation image was created within our industry, and the New Generation school bus drivers will be the ones who change it.

I started painting my Norse-Gaels in January of 2014 and just finished them two weeks ago. 72 figures is a lot for a SAGA warband but I wanted all options. With new warbands in the painting queue and others resting, I put these up for sale. Since they went to a local player, I'll get to see them at our SAGA events. Bonus, the $ will fund my airbrush setup now that I've picked out my hardware.

Camel Caravan
I wanted a camel caravan for my SAGA Crescent & Cross baggage train. After a bit of searching, I chose this lovely set by Castaway Arts. After a long delay, I finally got them through the painting queue this weekend. They're not as exciting as fighting figures but they are quite colorful I think!

WW II Soviet Vehicles
My favorite things about WW II painting is the vehicles. They're a great change-up from my usual Dark Age painting and I turned to YouTube to learn weathering techniques. The variety of techniques is a bit overwhelming and I'm still learning.
T-34/85: My first tank went together fast. My mistake here was using two washes. After the first wash, I thought the tank looked too bright and after the second, it was too dark! I now prime my Soviet vehicles a lighter green to better show off weathering effects.

Geneva - FIFA's ethics committee on Tuesday launched an investigation targeting six people over their roles in the bidding process that awarded the 2006 World Cup to Germany, with the probe partly focused on alleged bribery.
Those targeted include, Wolfgang Niersbach, former German federation (DFB) president and Franz Beckenbauer, the ex-German international and DFB vice president.
Niersbach and former DFB secretary general Helmut Sandrock are being probed for possible failure to report violations of FIFA's ethics codes, an ethics committee statement said.
Beckenbauer is in a group with three other former top level DFB executives -- Theo Zwanziger, Horst R. Schmidt and Stefan Hans -- who are under investigation for "possible undue payments and contracts to gain an advantage in the 2006 FIFA World Cup host selection," the statement added.
The ethics committee said the decision to open the probe followed the release of a report commissioned by the DFB and carried out by business law specialists Freshfields which found that bribes may have been paid for votes in the bidding process.

Yes Ocala has a recycling center ! I was dismayed when the Sam's club and other locations removed their recycling bins. When my trash was spilling over from all the recyclables I figured it was time to find an alternative. This center is very easy, and convenient. The address isn't on my iphone or google map, but as you head west on highway 40 take a left on the paved road behind the Ocala "International" airport. The center is just ahead on the right. Note the photo attached showing hours, its closed Tuesdays and Thursdays. Open on weekends so that is convenient. The convenience of this place is that you just dump all of your recycle ready stuff into one large compactor machine. There are attendants on duty if you need help. Old refrigerators, toxic waste, can also be left here, there may be a fee for that. Good job Marion County ! This was written June 9 2013

We also saw a triumphant return, after a considerable hiatus, of our student writers. Fourteen of them contributed this week; some of the writing made us wonder if a separate link-up was really necessary. Make sure you check them out and support what they're doing.
Our winner this week is once again Amanda from Last Mom on Earth. Her story, White Rabbit was once again a brilliant example of her unique talent:
I climbed out of my window before dawn. My mom was drunk, dressed in a flowing white nightdress that spilled around her on the floor like foam in a stormy sea. She rustled as I stepped over her body and laughed. It was a little, tittering sound that came from the land of her dreams. She was always dreaming.
My father had money and a family who lived near the lake, on the sound. I spent my summers there, as a kid. My mother used to lay on a blanket while I waded in the shallows, searching for bullfrogs. She wore round sunglasses that covered most of her face. She painted her lips red and tied a scarf in her hair.
She was married once before, in New York City. She kept a box full of his pictures on the top shelf of her closet. Sometimes I woke up at night and found her crouched under the bare bulb, sorting through them, clutching them to her breast. There was a picture of her in a white dress that barely reached halfway down her thighs. She was smiling and the wind was blowing her veil.
I always left early for school. I couldn't stand the sight of her in the morning sunlight. I wanted orange juice and nagging. I wanted her to stand at the sink, smoking a cigarette and asking if I had my homework. She used to do those things. She used to flick on the light in my bedroom and say, "I'm not going to tell you again!"
I walked in the gutter. It would rain later in the day. The air was heavy and soft against the skin of my arms. I found a rabbit with white fur crumpled against the curb. The wretched thing was missing a leg. I turned it over with the tip of a stick. Its mouth was frozen in a tiny smile. Its teeth protruded over a mangled little lip.In second place is Letmestartbysaying's The Sudden Beast, a vivid description of the sudden and debilitating onslaught of a migraine headache. Scriptor Obscura takes third place again this week with Catholic. In only 33 words, she highlights the horrors of the Holocaust and the effect it had even on those who survived.
And so to our weekend prompt. We've often said that we love how each of you responds so differently to our prompts. This week, you're all starting with the same 5 words and your task is to turn it in to your own story in only 33 words. The 5 we have given you are NOT to be counted in the 33 words.
For this weekend's challenge, we are once again asking you guys to choose the winner. You can vote using a link that will appear beside each thumbnail at the close of the contest. Linkz will remain open after the close of the contest to allow for voting. Submissions received after 8 pm EST on Sunday evening, however, will be deleted by admin. You will only have the 12 hours following the close of the contest to vote. Due to the restrictions of the linking service, you may not vote for a link from the same computer where it was submitted. We hope you believe in your work enough to find another device to vote from, and we are sorry for the inconvenience.
Complete the following story in exactly 33 words:
The phone rang at 4am.

During its Spring Board of Directors meeting, the American Bus Association (ABA) Board of Directors elected Jim Jalbert as its chairman and Tom JeBran as its vice chairman, both for two-year terms. Also during the same meetings, the ABA Foundation named Doug Anderson as its new chairman.
Jalbert, president of C&J in Portsmouth, N.H., had previously served as vice chairman and was acting chairman since the resignation of Craig Lentzsch in February. New Vice Chairman JeBran is president of Trans-Bridge Lines Inc. in Bethlehem, Penn.
Meanwhile, Anderson, president of Anderson Coach & Travel in Greenville, Penn., succeeds Jot Bennett.
The ABA Board of Directors also elected George Maney, president of Coach America in Dallas, to the Board, and Dan Eisentrager, vice president of Coach America's Western Region, to a non-voting seat.
For this study, a motorcoach — defined as a vehicle designed for long-distance transportation of passengers — characterized by integral construction with an elevated passenger deck located over a baggage compartment.
The wheelchair accessible Prevost vehicles are equipped with comfortable seating for 55 passengers and feature reclining seats, footrests, power outlets and wireless internet access among other amenities.
The D4505 recently received improvements, including dual 150-amp Denso alternators, new parcel racks that expand luggage capacity and the REI A/V system.
During a three-year period (210-2014), the number of shuttle vehicles on Bay Area roadways jumped by more than 60 percent and ridership increased by 45 percent.
The new seating option delivers increased legroom, while also maximizing passenger comfort.

Original Cast
Critics are forever sniping at Andrew Lloyd Webber's show music: Derivative, repetitive, glitzy, pandering, colorless and cold are just a few of the epithets hurled (sometimes fairly) at the songs of the 39-year-old Briton. Yet his hits {Cats, Evita, Jesus Christ Superstar, Song and Dance and Starlight Express) have virtually saved the musical theater from extinction. (Stateside, only the peerless Stephen Sondheim is holding up his end.) Perhaps the naysayers simply can't believe that any composer who writes music you can hum (and earns an estimated $150,000 a week in royalties alone) is doing serious work. Lloyd Webber's latest and best show, The Phantom of the Opera, just might convince them. Recently opened on Broadway after a record-breaking 16 months in London, Phantom is surely the most rapturously romantic musical of the decade. And the spell extends to the cast recording. The show is, of course, based on Gaston Leroux's 1910 novel about a disfigured composer who stalks the backstage of the Paris Opera, directing the career of a young soprano he adores from afar. The tale has clearly touched a personal chord in Lloyd Webber; he responds to the story with a profligate outpouring of melody. Even without the spectacle of Hal Prince's staging, the music—not always ably abetted by Charles Hart's and Richard Stilgoe's lyrics—stirs, swells and haunts. The casting of Lloyd Webber's second wife, Sarah Brightman, as the Phantom's object of worship seems to have brought out a passionate intensity barely tapped in the composer's previous scores. Brightman's voice, all shimmering loveliness on such ballads as Think of Me and All I Ask of You, takes on astonishing force as she is drawn inexorably into the Phantom's "music of the night." But it is Michael Crawford's love-tortured Phantom that tears at the emotions. Crawford, a comic actor best known in the U.S. as the gawky store clerk in the film version of Hello, Dolly!, delivers a historic stage performance. His once reedy voice has taken on a mature resonance. He does more than sing these powerful songs. He acts them with an ardor that uncovers a gargoyle's agonized heart. Crawford's duet with Brightman on Point of No Return reaches dramatic heights seldom attained outside opera. With his rhapsodic Phantom, Lloyd Webber has found the vehicle at last to give his deepest feelings full rein. (Polydor)

Happy Independence/Gindependence Day
Independence day is a day dear to the American gin drinker's heart. Just as our forefathe's declared their independence from England in 1776, gin distillers in the United States have proudly declared their GINDEPENDENCE (ha! get it?) from the UK in the last few years by truly making gin their very own.
The UK has abdicated its throne of gin, as the London Dry formula has been absorbed into America's frontiers and Americans have innovated in now hundreds of new ways and truly created a kind of gin that is their own. Sure, the press has called it "New Western" or "New American," but I prefer not to rely on these sort of geographical distinctions. I simply call this bold experimentation "contemporary," and although at its heart it is quintessentially American and indeed "new" when considering gin's illustrious heritage, I don't think these should be the definition.
From the prairies [River Rose Gin], the mountains [Ridge Distillery's Silvertip] and the Oceans- white with foam [Gale Force]! Cheers America! Happy Independence Day!Share This!

No Missing Parts: And Other Stories About Real Princessesby Anne Carter
Centuries ago, Princess Sheila NaGeira finds herself stranded with her lover on a rocky outcrop ten leagues from Newfoundland's shore. In the late nineteenth century, Sybil finds love in the parched badlands of Drumheller. During World War II, Ruthie retrieves the ring that her dead brother gave to an unfaithful girl friend before he left to fight in the war. Today, Tess fears that her new-age boyfriend, Guy, had flown the coop and left her pregnant. No Missing Parts is for those who like princesses that are nothing like Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella. It is for those who believe that love can save us, but that it never appears as a handsome prince. It is for those who would like to confront the princess myth and, instead of bowing politely, challenge its very foundations. The stories collected here range over centuries, celebrating real princesses: women who become leaders, who defy social conventions, and who learn the hard way what it means to fall in love without giving up part of oneself.

"Only stayed one night (Sunday) on the way south. Pool area was very lively during the day, but dining areas where surprisingly quiet at night, giving the impression that the liveleiness was due to weekend guests only.

Re: need help...
Yeah stay away from the big illusion. Your better off with a small illusion. Make a glass of water appear and you can start off making a toast. Theater of the Mind has one.
Re: need help...
You can make smaller effects seem larger, too, depending on how you build them up. A good example is Lesson 16 from Tarbell v. 1: The Rope and Tape principle. Walking through tapes can be a nice substitute for sawing someone in half (perhaps you're too faint of heart to work with a saw? etc etc).
Re: need help...
Look for The Mark Wilson Course in Magic at your local bookstore. There are several small illusions in there you can make out of cardboard boxes. You may need to convince an assistant or two to join you.
Re: need help...
Yah, the Mark Wilson book... has some good, easy to build illusion ideas in there. But don't rush it, if you are not ready, you are not ready. It's better to be prepared for the show, rather than stressed out about a 2 minute cardboard illusion.

Re: need help...
Are you performing on a stage with curtains, and can you get two backstage assistants to help you for about 30 seconds? If so, there is a quick appearance illusion you can do with just a short bit of practice, but if you don't have the stage, curtains or assistants, it isn't of much use.
