A rainbow ends where?
When it rains in Coorg it pours! But then when it lets up you are sure to catch a rainbow! We saw one that looked more like a Protractor from a Geometry Box :)) Check the fotos!more
Cheyndane Peak
Just on a whim we headed off to Coorg for the weekend last week trusting my friend Roopa to get us a place to stay and find us a route to trek. Sure enough she did! We stayed at Himagiridharshini Coffee Estate and headed off to the Cheyndane Peak for a trek that was truly memorable!more

Madikeri Restaurants
One of the Best in Town
I've eaten here a lot because it's very close to where I'm staying. It's also supposed to be one of the better restaurants in town. They serve the standard Indian and Chinese menus (not including the local specialty, pork curry), and I thought the food was good, although I've heard from weekend tourists that it's just okay.I liked that the palak...more
"Traditional Kodava Dishes"
There's a limited menu, but they serve the classic Coorg specialties, including rice roti and kadambuttu (rice balls), several pork and chicken dishes, and a couple of veg dishes. They appear to do a brisk catering business for weddings and other large groups – always a good sign. I almost couldn't get lunch a couple of times because they were so...more
One of the Best in Town, High-end...
One of the most expensive places in town, but the food, service, and presentation are exceptional. The menu is "multi-cuisine," meaning Indian and Chinese of course, but also a decent selection of continental and what look like fusion dishes. They have definitely learned continental standards of service (starter and main course were timed...more
Local Favorite
This place was recommended to me by a German lady who had been here for three months, and appears in one of the three major guide books, but unless you are looking for it you probably wouldn't stop here. You wouldn't know where to stop. From the main road (Mysore Road) the hotel looks like a wall, with a sign indicating that you've reached the...more
Fine Dining in the Trees
This is a resort about 5 km from Madikeri – a short auto ride or a pleasant walk from the center of town. There's a very good restaurant with a lunch buffet, mostly mild spicing and mostly vegetarian, served inside a high-ceilinged hall or outside on a large covered patio surrounded by jackfruit and other trees. Service is exceptional.I had the...more

Cab around coorg

Madikeri Shopping
Pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla, ginger, nutmeg, cashews, and some other things I can't identify grow in Coorg, domestically and wild. There are shops everywhere in the center of town selling them in all size packages, and in the outskirts selling them in bulk; it all comes from the same places, so it's probably all comparable...more
One of few places in the world you're justified in buying a machete as a souvenir. Coorg has a long martial history, and the single item most unique to the region appears to be knives. Plus very long guns that I haven't seen for sale, but I have seen people carrying. (For hunting, not everywhere like in Texas.)The bent knife in the photo is...more
Coorg is known for its coffee plantations and estates, and the coffee grown here is wonderful. Both Arabica and Robusto are available as raw or roasted beans or ground into powder. You can buy it just about everywhere in Madikeri.The lower elevation plantations are supposed to be better for growing coffee, so if you're a real aficionado you...more
Madikeri Tourist Traps
Home stay-Check before you stay!
Not all home stays are good, don't go by what you see on the net, we made that mistake and really regretted it. We stayed at Kibbeil retreat in Balele ad we cannot even begin to describe our dissappointment at the service and the location!
Unique Suggestions: Pls check with others who have stayed at that particular homestay, dont get taken for a ride!Add to your Trip Planner

Pricing Details: $30 per person
Want to experience fall in a different way?
Get off the beaten path and revel in the crisp weather and emerging colors.
The 16 inns of the Asheville Bed & Breakfast Association (ABBA) are partnering with three Western NC farms, a vineyard and five artisans to give guests a glimpse of a road less traveled – and the discoveries and finds the journey brings. This independent driving tour takes visitors through the Sandy Mush community in Leicester, NC.
Farmer and promoter Terri Wells describes Sandy Mush as a "special place where families like mine have farmed for more than 200 years." She says the area also attracts artists drawn to it because of its remoteness, beauty and sense of place.
This fall from September 16 to November 13, 2016 this Asheville Inn will be offering a Fall Farm and Artisan Tour Package.
The package is centered around a self-guided driving tour through the beautiful Sandy Mush community of Leicester, NC. The valley is a step back in time and breathtakingly picturesque with rolling hills that lead up to mountains that surround the valley in every direction. The landscape is dotted with horses, cattle, big red barns and working farms. The tour takes you to Addison Vineyards where you will enjoy a picnic and wine tasting, local farms and artisan studios and shops. In addition to a package price of $30 per person, guests are required to book a two-night minimum stay at Pinecrest or any other member inns of the Asheville Bed and Breakfast Association.

- A picnic lunch to eat a Addison Farm Vineyard. After your picnic enjoy a tasting and complimentary glass of wine. You will receive 10% off wine purchases. In September, guests can watch the grape harvest.
- A touring map/guide of Sandy Mush Community of Artisans and Farms. The map will include specific hours and contact information for each farm and artist. It is recommended that you contact the farm/artist ahead of time because some of them operate by appointment only.
- Next explore the farm store at Sandy Hollar Farms. Shop for honey, beeswax candles and pick- your -own blackberries. You will receive 10% discount on store purchase. Although you won't be in the market for a Christmas tree, Sandy Hollar Farms is one of the biggest local tree farms in the area.
- Visit a working farm with pigs, beef cattle, ducks, turkey and chickens (and fresh eggs, too!) when you visit Reeves Homeplace Farm. Visitors can buy meat and eggs here and receive a 10% discount. Meats sold here are frozen, so bring your cooler. And they've added flowers and veggies this year too!

I had been a patient of Dr. Cimpeanu for almost 10 years when I was very ill with my mental illness. I was in the midst of a bad marriage and so I needed some extra help many times and he was always there for me. Not only was he there for me but he was extremely intelligent and knew what he was talking about. I am so thankful for the care he gave me during those difficult years. Today I live in another state and am under the care of another doctor with very few hospital visit in fact have not been hospitalized for several years now and on very little medication. I thank Dr. Cimpeanu for being a wonderful doctor to me and now I am healing from much of my mental illness. I contribute the healing to the care I received during those years that were so difficult to me. Thank you Dr. Cimpeanu!
This psychiatrist has been with me for many years and has cared for me and showed compassion even in the times I probably did not deserve it. He is a BRILLIANT doctor who works very long hours and at times it seems he lives for his job and his patients.

I am performing musician, composer, and instrument builder, using my own mountain dulcimers, electric gourd, and bamboo flutes alongside other items like guitar, ukulele, harmonica, banjo, and synth. I follow an improvisational and impressionist approach to make what I call rural space music. You can hear it in my youtube videos and on my music releases.
I perform as Twang Darkly, a trio, but sometimes a moniker for a duo or solo act. I do some film score work. In 2015, I was Artist-in-Residence at Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Nevada and was awarded the Music Fellowship Award from SRAC.
I experiment with digital filmmaking both as source material and visualization for music, incorporating animation, reconstructed still images, landscape film, and camera-as-paintbrush techniques. My most recent multimedia project including animation is a 2016 joint multimedia exhibit, The Court of King Skebal.

The Washington Post
My Father's Tears and Other Storiesby John Updike
"Drinking a toast to the visible world, his impending disappearance from it be damned." That's how John Updike describes one of his elderly protagonists in this, his final collection of short stories. He might have been writing about himself. In My Father's Tears, the author revisits his signature characters, places, and themes—Americans in suburbs, cities, and small towns grappling with faith and infidelity—in a gallery of portraits of his aging generation, men and women for whom making peace with the past is now paramount. The Seattle Times called My Father's Tears "a haunting collection" that "echoes the melancholy of Chekhov, the romanticism of Wordsworth and the mournful spirit of Yeats."
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
The New York Times
Updike compresses the strata of a life in his delicately rendered, tremendously moving posthumous collection. In "Free," the memory of a life-affirming affair buckles against a man's loyalty to his deceased wife: he recognizes that becoming a "well-bred stick" offers more consolation in old age than the sluggish arousal of his sensuality. In "The Accelerating Expansion of the Universe," the retired protagonist, depressed by what he perceives as the universe's indifference to human affairs, is done in by the accumulated detritus of his life. Many characters are haunted by a sense of isolation, such as the protagonist of "Personal Archaeology," who roams his Massachusetts estate, searching for traces of previous ownership while sifting through his own petty contribution, or the emotionally stranded absentee landlord of an Alton, Pa., family farm in "The Road Home," who returns after 50 years and finds himself lost in his hometown. From "Kinderszenen," which depicts the anxious time of smalltown late 1930s, to "Varieties of Religious Experience," in which a grandfather watches the twin towers fall, time ushers in brutal changes. With masterly assurance, Updike transforms the familiar into the mysterious. (June)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
"Here . . . one last time . . . are the cardinal virtues of a writer who bestrode the American literary landscape for more than a half century: a virtuosic talent for sensual description, the seemingly effortless weaving of image and theme, and an almost Proustian capacity to absorb the reader in the quiddities of childhood and adolescence."—San Francisco Chronicle
"A self-conscious salute to a grand career of imagining and gorgeously describing our America, along with a wink of gratitude to those readers who have shared the journey."—The Washington Post

My Father's Tears and Other Stories
By John Updike
KnopfCopyright © 2009 John Updike
All right reserved.
The seacoast road went smoothly up and down, but compared with an American highway it was eerily empty. Other cars appeared menacing on it, approaching like bullets, straddling the center strip. Along the roadside, alone in all that sunswept space, little girls in multicolored Berber costume held out bouquets of flowers—violets? poppies?—which we were afraid to stop and accept. What were we afraid of? A trap. Bandits. Undertipping, or overtipping. Not knowing enough French, and no Arabic or Berber. "Don't stop, Daddy, don't!" was the cry; and it was true, when we did stop at markets, interested persons out of the local landscape would gather about our rented Renault, peering in and offering unintelligible invitations.
We were an American family living in England in 1969 and had come to Morocco naïvely thinking it would be, in April, as absolute an escape to the sun as a trip to the Caribbean from the Eastern United States would be at the same time of year.
But Restinga, where a British travel agency as innocent as we of climatic realities had sent us, was deserted and windy. The hotel, freshly built by decree of the progressive, tourism-minded king, was semicircular in shape. At night, doors in the curving corridors slammed, and a solitary guard in a burnoose keptwatch over the vacant rooms and the strange family of pre-season Americans. By day, the waves were too choppy to swim in, and the Mediterranean was not so much wine-dark as oil-black. Walking along the beach, we picked up tar on our feet. When we lay down on the beach, wind blew sand into our ears. Off in the distance, apartment buildings of pink concrete were slowly being assembled, and there were signs that in a month vacationers from somewhere would fill the bleak plazas, the boarded-up arcades. But for now there was only the whipping wind, a useless sun, and—singly, idly, silently in the middle distance—Arabs. Or were they Berbers? Dark men, at any rate, in robes, who frightened our baby, Genevieve. Fantastic as it seems now, when she is so tall and lovely in her spangled disco dress, she was then overweight and eight. Caleb was ten, Mark twelve, and Judith a budding fourteen.
"Je le regrette beaucoup," I told the manager of the Restinga hotel, a blue-sweatered young man who wandered about closing doors that had blown open, "mais il faut que nous partirons. Trop de vent, et pas de bain de la mer."
"Trop de vent," he agreed, laughing, as if reassured that we were not as crazy as we had seemed.
"Les enfants sont malheureux, aussi ma femme. Je regrette beaucoup de partir. L'hôtel, c'est beau, en été." I should have used the subjunctive or the future tense, and stopped trying to explain.
The manager gave our departure his stoical blessing but explained, in cascades of financial French, why he could not refund the money we had prepaid in London. So I was left with a little cash, a Hertz credit card, four children, a wife, and plane tickets that bound us to ten more days in Morocco.
We took a bus to Tangier. We stood beside an empty road at noon, six stray Americans, chunky and vulnerable in our woolly English clothes with our suitcases full of continental sun togs bought at Lilywhite's and of Penguins for vacation reading. The sun beat upon us, and the wind. The road dissolved at either end in a pink shimmer. "I can't believe this," my wife said. "I could cry."
"Don't panic the kids," I said. "What else can we do?" I asked. "There are no taxis. We have no money."
"There must be something," she said. Somehow, my mem- ory of the moment has dressed her in a highly unflattering navy-blue beret.
"I'm scared," Genevieve announced, clutching her knapsack and looking painfully hot and rosy in her heavy gray overcoat.
"Baby," sneered her big sister, who attracted stares from native men everywhere and was feeling a certain power.
"The bus will come," Daddy promised, looking over their heads to the vanishing point where the road merged in the pink confusion of the new buildings the king was very slowly erecting.
A thin dark man in a dirty caftan materialized and spoke to us in a lengthy nasal language. He held out his palms as if to have them read.
"Dad, the man is talking to you," Mark, then prepubescent and now a graduate student in computer science, said, very embarrassed.
"I know he is," I told him, helplessly.
"What's he saying, Dad?" Genevieve asked.
"He's asking if this is the bus stop," I lied.
The man, continuing to speak, came closer, confiding a breath rich in Muslim essences—native spices, tooth decay, pious fasting with its parched membranes. His remarks grew more rapid and urgent, but a light was dying in his bloodshot eyes.
"Tell him to go away." This suggestion came from Caleb, our silent, stoic, sensible child, now a college junior majoring in zoology.
"I think he will," I hazarded, and the man did, shaking his skeletal head at our unresponsive idiocy. Our little family clustered closer in relief. Sand blew into our shoes, and the semicircular halls of the abandoned hotel, our only home in this foreign land, howled at our backs like some deep-voiced, clumsy musical instrument.
The bus! The bus to Tangier! We waved—how we waved!—and with an incredulous toot the bus stopped. It was the green of tired grass, and chickens in slatted coops were tied to the top, along with rolled-up rugs. Inside, there were Moroccans: dusty hunched patient unknown people, wearing knit little things on their heads and knit little things on their feet, their bodies mixed in with their bundles, the women wrapped in black, some with veils, all eyes glittering upward in alarmed amazement at this onrush of large, flushed, childish Americans.
The fare, a few dirhams, was taken noncommittally by a driver, who had a Nasseresque mustache and a jaw to match. There was room at the back of the bus. As we wrestled our ponderous suitcases down the aisle, the bus swayed, and I feared we might crush with our bulky innocence this frag- ile vehicle and its delicately balanced freight. Deeper into the bus, an indigenous smell, as of burned rope, intensified.
In Tangier, the swaying bus was exchanged for a single overloaded taxi, whose driver in his desire to unload us came into the Hertz office and tried to help the negotiations along. Allah be praised, his help was not needed: the yellow plastic Hertz card that I produced did it all. Had I been able to produce also the pale green of an American Express card, our suspenseful career down the coast, from Tangier to Rabat to Casablanca and then through the narrower streets of El Jadida and Essaouira and Tafraout, would have been greatly eased, for at each hotel it was necessary to beg the clerk to accept a personal check on a London bank, and none but the most expensive hotels would risk it; hence the odd intervals of luxury that punctuated our penurious flight from the Mediterranean winds.
The avenues of Rabat as we drove into the city were festooned in red. Any thought that we were being welcomed with red banners gave way when we saw hammers and sickles and posters of Lenin. A Soviet high-level delegation, which included Kosygin and Podgorny, was being received by the versatile king, we discovered at the Rabat Hilton, which was booked so solid with Communists that it could not shelter even the most needy children of free enterprise.
But a hotel less in demand by the Soviets took us in, and at dinner, starved, we were sat down in a ring on piled carpets, around what in memory seems an immense brass tray, while a laughing barefoot girl tiptoed at our backs, sprinkling rosewater into our hair. Mark, tickled, made his monkey face.
This sensation of being beautifully served amid undercurrents of amusement recurred in a meadow high above the sea, where, after miles of empty landscape and empty stomachs, a minuscule restaurant, scarcely more than a lean-to, advertised itself with a wooden arrow. We stopped the rented Renault and with trepidation walked across the grass, single-file, feeling again huge, as when we trod deeper into that fragrant bus. We halted when a man emerged from the shack bearing a table, and a boy emerged carrying chairs. With an air of amusement all around, this furniture was set on the grassy earth, in a spot we lightly indicated. From the shed were produced in time wine, rice, kebabs, and Cokes, which we consumed in sight of the Atlantic, of beige cliffs, and of vast pastures grazed by a single donkey—the only customers, for all we knew, that this beautiful restaurant by the sea had ever had.
Even on the rough back road to Tafraout, into the stony hills of the Low Atlas, with the gas gauge saying zero and not a house, not a sheep or goat, in sight, a little girl in a dip of the unpaved track held out a handful of flowers. The road here had become one with the rocks of a dry riverbed, so our Renault was moving slowly, so slowly she had time, when she saw we were truly not going to stop, to whip our fenders with the flowers and to throw them at the open car window. One or two fell inside, onto our laps. The rest fell onto the asphalt beside her feet. In the rearview mirror I saw the little girl stamp her foot in rage. Perhaps she cried. She was about the age of Genevieve, who expressed empathy and sadness as the girl diminished behind us and dropped from sight.

While others may like John Updike's stories, I was very sad to have given it to my mother who is an avid reader and well over 80 years old. She was still trying to read it because it was a gift, but disliked the sense of humor in this one very much. I had "screened" the overall book carefully, but not read any of the actual stories. cmk
This is the last collection of stories of one of America's greatest modern literary figures. It is written in the signature Updike style, the comprehensive perceptivenes , the brilliant creative retranscription of the details of the everyday world. It has many of the same situations and themes familiar from his earlier work. But it focuses on 'death' and 'aging' in a more intense way than before. It too gives great emphasis to seeing life in perspective, the perspective of stages as in the story 'Personal Archaeology' or in the perspective of places and people returned to after years apart from them, as in stories like ' My Father's Tears' or 'The Full Glass'. It has a sense of life's most horrible and frightening ironies but also of course a deep sense of its pleasures. All in all Updike the master observer seems to be saying goodbye to us , by giving us once again a dazzling picture of how lives go on in unexpected ways and we small human beings are continually being upended by our own illusions, lusts and dreams. I think every reader of Updike will be but filled with gratitude at being given such a moving farewell gift by this consummate American master.
Great last effort by one of my favorite authors ever.
This posthumous short story collection suggests Updike reflecting upon his life and life in general. The stories are touching, relevant and, as always, very well written. The characters and the situation continue to resonate with the reader long after the story has been finished. Those readers who treasure the Updike writing style and incisive plotting should not miss this likely last and one of his best creations.
Admittedly, this is the first of Updike's books that I've ever read, but I was a bit disappointed seeing as how huge his reputation is. I see that he died earlier this year, and after finishing this book I felt that he had pretty much gone over the earlier years of his life in this book. I am 58 years old, and I could relate to some of the things he thought about and experienced. I'm not sure that younger readers would relate to (much less understand) some of his experiences that happened prior to the electronic age. Some of his stories were really melancholy, but that was ok. When you get older, you get that way! I'm not sure that I would read any of his earlier works after reading this one.

2013 PLAYOFFS: Monroe preps for stiff test
Talk about a confidence booster.
Monroe Central's 15-9 triumph against unbeaten Centerburg last week in the first round of the Ohio Division VI, Region 21 playoffs was a stunner to many.
But for the folks from Monroe County, it was validation.
"I don't think people gave us much of a chance," Seminoles head coach Jay Circosta said. "We were traveling two-and-half hours and playing at their place, etc.
"But we did a great job and (our players) were extremely excited and I thought it was a big one for us.
"We have another big one ahead of us this week."
Monroe Central, the No. 6 seed, will take a shorter excursion this week – to Zanesville on Friday night – where it will meet up with Bishop Ready, the No. 2 seed, for a regional semifinal at Sulsburger Stadium.
Kickoff is 7:30 p.m.
The winner will meet the survivor of Friday night's other semifinal between No. 1 seed Lucasville Valley and No. 4 seed Newark Catholic next Friday at a site to be determined Sunday by the OHSAA. Those two teams are playing in Nelsonville.
It marks the Seminoles first foray into the second round of the playoffs since 2003. That season, Monroe Central defeated Nelsonville-York in the first round before falling to Amanda-Clearcreek in the regional semis.
Circosta's program also reached the regional semis in 2002. In 2001, the Seminoles rolled all the way to the Division V state semifinals before falling to eventual state champion St. Peter Chanel.
"It's a great venue," Circosta said of the home of the Zanesville Blue Devils, who will be playing Worthington Kilbourne at Gahanna Lincoln the same night. "I can't think of any place better."
Circosta traveled to Zanesville earlier this week with Athletic Director Junior Winland and came away impressed with the facility. Circosta recalled playing Newark Catholic there about 20 years ago, but said the team hasn't played there since major renovations were done to the facility, including the installation of a turf field.
"It's kind of good for everyone," Circosta said of the turf field.
As far as Ready head coach Joel Cutler is concerned, he believes the turf will benefit both squads.
"We practice on grass and our kids enjoy playing on (turf)," he said. "But as far as it give it giving anyone an advantage, I don't really know.
"I think the game will come down to the fundamentals; blocking, tackling, etc."
Playing on turf is a rarity for the Seminoles. So, to help prepare, the team practiced at St. Clairsville's Red Devil Stadium on Wednesday. Circosta said the Seminoles' field has taken quite a beating this season and the snow/rain that fell earlier this week, coupled with the cold, didn't help any.
"Monday we went over (Ready's) personnel, formations and defensive sets and Tuesday we went through a walk thru, etc.
"We worked indoors Tuesday and it was a lot better than going outdoors and slopping around.
"We got about three inches of snow here and we got a lot done Tuesday and Wednesday."
In addition to preparing for Ready, Circosta wanted to build on the momentum built last week, especially on defensive side.
"Overall, I was very pleased with that side of the ball," Circosta said. "I thought we played our hearts out.
"If you would've told me last week that we would've held them to nine points that would've been great. Centerburg was a team scoring more than 40 points per game.
"Did we make some mistakes? Sure. You always have those. But, overall, I thought Coach (Dave) Schuerman and Coach (Josh) Ischy put together a great defensive package."
Linebacker Mike Jones led the unit with another staunch outing. For the year, the senior has registered 123.5 tackles, including 17.5 for loss, and nine sacks.
"He's played that way all year," Circosta said of the middle linebacker. "He just had an outstanding game with 15.5 tackles and a sack.
"He plays with a lot of excitement and enthusiasm. The entire unit played well and with great heart, but he's been the catalyst."
Cluter certainly took notice.
"Oh my, he's all over the field," he said. "That young man can play football. He has a nose for the ball and runs well. We'd better locate where he is."
Senior Jake Schuerman and junior Chase Carothers are Monroe Central's outside backers.
The Seminoles' defensive front consists of senior Cordell Gauding at left end, senior Marshall Mozena at left tackle, senior Hunter Conner at right tackle and junior Gavin Morton at right end.
Senior Curtis Nixon and junior Levi Brown are the corners, while junior Zach Jorris and senior Bryan Duffy are the safeties.
Gauding is second on the team with 66.5 stops, eight of those for loss. He also has 4.5 sacks. Schuerman has 64.5 tackles, including 3.5 for loss.
Brown has a team-best four interceptions, with Nixon and Duffy three each.
Circosta said Ready's offense will his team's toughest test of the season.
"They're very balanced," he said.
And explosive.
The Silver Knights, ranked fifth in the final Associated Press poll of the season, are averaging 50.8 points per game. That total was bolstered by the 98 points they put up in a 98-20 thumping of Division III Washington (Court House) on October 4.
The Blue Lions were one of two Division III squads Ready faced during the regular season. The Silver Knights also beat a Division II foe (Briggs) and two Division IV opponents (Miami Trace and Bexley) in addition to its Division VI and VII opponents.
"Our schedule is typically very difficult," Cutler said.
It's true. Seven of Ready's regular-season foes posted records of .500 or better.
"And, we always scrimmage a heck of a schedule," Cutler added, noting Brookhaven, Kilbourne, Wheelersburg (Martins Ferry's opponent Saturday in Division V) and Jonathan Alder were among them.
Alder, coincidentally, is Cutler's alma mater. He's in his second season as Ready's head coach after serving as a coordinator for years at Upper Arlington. While there, he was part of the Golden Bears' 2000 state championship team.
Since Cutler's arrival, he's helped uphold a tradition of winning at Ready that dates back to the school's first playoff appearance in 1983. That year, the Silver Knights won the Division IV title against Orrville.
Ready has made nine playoff appearances since 2000. Not bad for a program with no "home field."
"We've played everywhere," Cutler said, noting Linsly has been one of the team's destinations in recent years. "We're truly travel warriors."
And Cutler added the travel situation has helped bond the team.
"One of our best strengths is our attitude," he said. "There's a brotherhood amongst this group I haven't seen in years.
"When I was an assistant on Upper Arlington's title team we had Simon Fraser, who went on to play at Ohio State, and Jeff Backes, that season's Mr. Football honoree.
"That group also had a great bond. As far as the energy and camaraderie, I see that as our strength."
Some pretty good players help, too.
Ready's offense is guided by senior quarterback Matt Yoho.
Yoho, whose father is a Bishop Donahue graduate and mother is a Powhatan native, has completed nearly 60 percent of his passes this season, accounted for 23 touchdowns and thrown only three interceptions.
The tailback is Akili Taylor. The senior, who's been offered by Kent State, has rushed for more than 1,600 yards.
Fullback duties are split between seniors DeAndre Golden and Bran-den Bailey.
"That's a 3-headed monster back there that's a fun group to coach," Cutler said of his backfield.
Yoho has plenty of options at receiver. They include senior captain Kelly Culbertson, senior Myles Fowler, junior Anthony Havens and senior Hunter Clanin.
Clanin, 6-3, 200-pounds, has an offer to play baseball at Bowling Green and could end up playing baseball and football for the Falcons.
The anchor of Ready's offensive line is Virginia Tech recruit left tackle Brady Taylor (senior, 6-5, 280).
Senior Andrew Hurd is the center. Senior Nick Skorvilis is the left guard, while seniors Jacob Koch and Zach Jarrett, man the right and left guard spots, respectively.
Skorvilis doubles as the Silver Knight's nose tackle. Junior Trey Windham is a defensive tackle, while senior Nick Chapman is a defensive end. Golden and juniors Alvin Knox and Connor Lancia are the linebackers.
In the secondary, Ready has Culbertson and junior Seth Stock at safety and Havens and Bauer at the corners.
Ready advanced with a 48-6 victory against Oak Hill last Friday in a game played at Upper Arlington.
Yoho threw scoring strikes to Fowler, Clanin and Culbertson. Scoring runs came courtesy of Fowler, Chapman, Golden and Taylor.
"Taylor is an outstanding running back," Circosta said, "and they definitely have a lot of speed at wide out.
"(Containing them) certainly won't be an easy task."
Cutler has his concerns about the Seminoles offense.
"They're tough," he said. "The one thing I noticed is they play with extreme tenacity and heart. They flat-out wanted that game last week more than Centerburg did. These guys are in it to win it and that's a testament to Coach Circosta and his staff."
Nixon is the Noles' quarterback with Brown and Jones at tailback and fullback, respectively.
The line includes Morton (tight end), sophomore Justin Kilburn (left tackle), Gauding (left guard), junior Coleton Robinson (center), sophomore Tanner Potts (right guard) and Mozena (right tackle).
Duffy and Jorris are the receivers.
Since moving to quarterback in Week 3, Nixon has thrown 1,392 yards, 14 TDs and six picks.
Brown has 984 rushing and 17 touchdowns, while Nixon has 959 yards on the ground and 15 TDs.
Duffy is the top receiver with 19 catches for 321 yards and three scores, while Jorris has 13 receptions for 241 yards and two touchdowns.
Potts is Monroe Central's kicker. The Silver Knights counter with junior Aidan Dulin.
"All we ask our kids to do is what they did last week," Circosta said. "And whatever they do our kids are going in with a positive attitude and a good week of practice.
"It's just nice to be playing in Week 12."

Skip to comments.Tribune falls after warning, downgrade, (LA Slimes and Chicago Tribune)

Tribune falls after warning, downgrade
By Russ Britt, CBS.MarketWatch.com
Last Update: 11:01 AM ET June 8, 2004
LOS ANGELES (CBS.MW) -- Shares of Tribune Co. dropped 4 percent Tuesday in the wake of the newspaper publisher's warning on sales projections and a downgrade from a Wall Street analyst.
Chicago-based Tribune (TRB: news, chart, profile) fell $1.88 to $46.80 after the company said Monday it expects sales growth to be slower than expected within its publishing group and will have to take a $10 million to $15 million charge in the second quarter to make up for it.
That prompted A.G. Edwards analyst Michael Kupinski to downgrade Tribune stock to "hold" from "buy." Kupinski said, however, that Tribune's downside should be "limited."
"In our view, the likely catalyst toward higher stock valuations will be positive earnings surprises and sequential growth in quarterly revenues," Kupinski wrote in a note issued Tuesday. "Patient investors willing to wait an upturn in revenue growth at the company, which appears possible in a favorable economic environment, are encouraged to retain positions."
The publisher of the Los Angeles Times and Chicago Tribune said it will take the charge because it is reducing expense growth from 5.5 percent down to 3 percent. Tribune officials said, however, they still expect to fall within analyst estimates for the quarter.
Tribune is cutting 200 staff positions, undertaking newsprint conservation programs and reducing spending in all departments. Company officials said the growth plans that existed earlier in the year weren't meeting expectations.
"Although help wanted advertising is improving month-over-month, and preprints year-to-date are delivering strong growth, other advertising categories are not meeting the aggressive plans we had for the year," Jack Fuller, president of Tribune Publishing, said in a statement. "The shortfall is limited to a few newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times."
Tribune expects sales growth of roughly 4 percent for the full year.
The company put out its warning as it announced sales were up 3.2 percent for a roughly monthlong period ended May 23.
Russ Britt is the Los Angeles Bureau Chief for CBS.MarketWatch.com.
The LA Slimes and the Trib continue to turn off subscribers, and that is apparently impacting the advertisers.
FYI and ping list.
Liberal propaganda doesn't seem to sell anymore...
These people must be watching the cubs for the past two weeks.
I don't get any newspapers anymore. I miss out a little on local news but so what? I basically get all my information here.
Liberal spins,lies, propaganda and the DNC agenda seem to have less sales each day, month, and year when they pretend to be news.
Cubs? Who are they? :)
How are these socialist newspapers supposed to compete with taxpayer funded socialist radio (NPR)...
In competing markets for information, news that parades as propaganda doesn't sell in a free society.
Life must suck to be a liberal
We take the local newspaper due to my wife and they have a fair coverage of local news.
Interesting enough, there seems to be a battle going on with the new editor and his masters and the liberals he inherited. He seems more interested in the news instead of advancing the left wing agenda.
We stopped taking the Slime and Newsweak weekly DNC agenda posing as weekly news during Reagans first year as president.
Then we discontinued the San Francisco GayRhonicle during the 1992 election.
We haven't watched ABCNNBC BS phoney nightly news for 4 years, since we got Dish.
Like you, my news basically comes from Free Republic.
What an insult to fish.LOL! Even birdcages reject the LA Slimes.
You mean propaganda that parades as news?
You have just summarized what is happening to the Left Wing controlled media:
"Capitalism at work."
"In competing markets for information, news that parades as propaganda doesn't sell in a free society.
"Life must suck to be a liberal1"
You have just summarized what is happening to the Left Wing controlled media:

The fish are dead, so they can't protest.
The birds are still alive and don't want the LA/NY Slimes or the Trib on the bottom of their cages.
MSM TABLOIDS going down hill,kerry must not be news any more with all the FLIP-FLOPPING going on
Or not.
...Tribune-Owned KTLA Channel 5's Morning News reported this morning that the New York Times is reporting that...
...100 Tribune-Owned Los Angeles Times Staff Positions will also be eliminated.
Unless they're Demoncrats, their dead weigh in every election! LOL!
If Kerry didn't have his loyal mediots in control of most of the media, he would never be in the news. He is not news, and they know it.
Now you are worrying me.
Dead fish might vote as rats this November? :)
Thanks for the laugh.
The free market punishes sloppy work.
Cracks appear in the liberal monolith. FR contributes to the inevitable decline of elite media.
Morning in America, indeed.
100 Tribune-Owned Los Angeles Times Staff Positions will also be eliminated.
You are welcome.
Probably 98% of Freepers reading this thread are laughing and have a big smile on their face.
On the west coast they own what is arguably the worst newspaper in the country, the L.A. Times.
You are right on target with these these comments:
The free market punishes sloppy work.
Cracks appear in the liberal monolith. FR contributes to the inevitable decline of elite media.
Especially in the inner cities where Repubies dare not tread. Kind of stinks eh?LOL
The Trib and the mass votes of the dead have insured the Rat control of Chicago for most of the last century and this century.
The Gorhoid Inner Cities are controlled by left wingers, who use left wing fish wraps and their dead to win control each election. I don't see anyway to break that control up.
All of the Chicago papers are not worthy of fish wrap.
The Chicago LIBune and the Daily Southtown are both DemoRAT rags!
This is beyond self-fulfilling prophesy; it's self-fulfilling policy.
Help wanted advertising is improving....hmmmm....sounds like the press should be covering this story. : )
Thanks for posting this Grampa D!
The Chicago Tribune was a great conservative publication when I was growing up in Chicago, and turned into liberal trash about 15 years ago.
Couple that with an over-hyped 91+Million dollar a year ball club and you're seeing the result on Wall Street today. And their WGN and CLTV is also second rate at best.
But the Chicago Tribune is easily the worst of all their products, total garbage.
This is the beginning of the end of Old Media.
FYI, They've taken control of the entire state of Illinois, controlling the excutive and both houses in the state legislature.
And President Bush and Speaker Hastert only pay homage to these dems and pore huge federal dollars into the stinkin' scialist state. For 30 years Illinois has routinely gotten $1.30+ back from the feds for every dollar sent to DC.
The three largest employers in the state since the 1980s are the federal, state and Chicago governments. Jewel (a food store is always a distant fourth.
Illinois used to be a proud, economically strongly diverse state, now it relies almost solely on federal monies.
"The policies advocated by both papers have assured that most of their constituency can't read and don't have the money to buy what is advertised."
"This is beyond self-fulfilling prophesy; it's self-fulfilling policy."
I have been saying this for years. That the pro abortion, pro drugs, pro ebonics, pro NEA and pro dumbing down of the inner cities agendas are reducing the power of the libs and their buddies the mediots.
This is another reason why left wing talk radio shows have such a short half life. Their targeted audiences don't have the mental ability to listen to discussion. They can only respond to 5 to 10 word mantras.
Don't forget the Slum Times and that marvelous Daily Defender.
My wife and her family are life long Cubs fans, and I sent my comments by email to her and her family. I will catch it to night. Actually, I'm more of a Cubs Fan than a Giants fan these days.
I think that the beginning of the end of the old media actually started during the Clintoon years, when so many of us conservatives tuned out and cancelled subscriptions.
Now we are seeing that tuning out/cancelling spreading.
You are incorrect about the pay/receive federal fund ratio.
Illinois, as with most wealthy states, pay far more into the fed treasury than it receives back. Your view of the state's economy is completely off the wall.
Thanks, this is an interesting statement by the Trib:
"Although help wanted advertising is improving month-over-month.....other advertising categories are not meeting the aggressive plans we had for the year,"......
Decoded, it says, "The job market and economy are improving in our area, but our advertising $'s outside of help wanted ads are going down."
"They've all been "feminazized." Like all public schools and universities. Lesbians and sissy-boys run the shows.
"Now they've taken over print media."
Lets hope that their arrogance and agendas that most Americans don't support, continue to drive away subcribers and advertisers.
It's been published in Crain's business annually for over TWENTY YEARS, put out by the State of Illinois Department of Economic Development.
They have also lost 50,000 full time jobs since the current Governor was sworn in Jan, 2003.
The State is one massive governmental program, I've been watching the decline for years. They have a 2.3 billion dollar deficit this year!
There only debate on how to get out of their mess is LEGALIZED GAMBLING. What a joke, the entire state knows it.
What is your perspective on the state and your sources?
I will borrow your tagline for awhile to honor President Reagan.
Good news about the Liebune and the LA Slimes!
It was a great newspaper when I was growing up, but I can't stand it now.
When did the Tribune become the Liebune?
We lived in the Chicago area in 1961 to 1962, and I recall it being somewhat liberal at that time.

Hi everybody I wanted to give a quick little thank you for all the Birthday wishes a few days ago I turned 30 and I wanted to do a blog relating to it so I decided to make a nostalgia blog I thought it would be fun to see how much has changed for me in the last 10 years.So here we go back to 2002 I remember it perfect I was still working at Hollywoodvideo(pretty much my first real job) and at the time I wasn't even out of high school for a year, man it is crazy to see how much has changed in the last 10 years I'm an uncle now and me and my family have been in a new home for 6 years now and I'm still in retail but now instead of entertainment related retail I'm working in a pet shop lol!! its actually a real nice job specially with the economy and stuff..Here's a quick picture of the store I worked at it was in my hometown of Broomfield it was a pretty cool job real easy and at the time the pay really wasn't all that bad(now it would be awful), like I was saying Hollywood video was pretty much my first real job I worked there for almost 3 years it had its benefits I really liked the free rentals and discounts on stuff that was nice.
Like any job it had its downsides most of it was do to some of the people we hired some of my Managers were pretty awesome( the first 3 I worked for were great) but I also had some pretty lame managers two of them got fired for stealing and one was a Cocaine addict, I really don't care if you do drugs just don't bring that shit to the workplace.All in all it was a pretty cool first job, after that I went onto work for Best Buy from 2003 to 2005 and then to Circuit City I worked there from 2005 to 2007ish. Now enough about work lets see what I was looking forward to playing back in 2002.
What I was playing and looking forward to in 2002.
