Cochran was arrested, plead not guilty and is out on bail. Ikiyle is not in tho city. The Commercial has broadly hinted at crooked transactions in the purchase of gas territory for Toledo, hence the trouble. NO LONGER A MYSTERY. DUappeannce of a Sta- Was Only a Case of Cnpald Hoard Will. CHICAGO, April mystery ol the disappearance of Vernon L. Everett, the Chicago medical college student, has been solved. He went away of his own accord and in company with another person. Everett had been at college three yean, but was too far behind in bis studies to hope to graduate this spring-. He owed the college about, thirty dollars and his landlady ono month's board. On April 1 he received sixty dollars from his father, but instead of paying his debt he made preparations to leave town. Two weeks ago Thursday, Everett purchased a ralise and some eatables, which he packed together with some clothing into the valise. He told av clerk at the store where ho purchased the eatables that he was going into tho country for a wkile. Everett then waited at Gibson's shoe store on South Park avenue some time, saying he ex- pected to meet a person there. Finally he left, since when he has not been seen. MISTOOK THIS DATE. April IT.

Next U-M Event: Sunday, Jan. 29 -- at Ohio State (Columbus, Ohio), 1 p.m. (TV: CBS)
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- The University of Michigan men's basketball team (No. 20 AP, No. 22 ESPN/USA Today) withstood a 20-6 run by Purdue in the second half and rallied to overcome the Boilermakers, 66-64, Tuesday night (Jan. 24) inside Mackey Arena. The Wolverines shot 54 percent (27-of-50) from the floor, including 43 percent (6-of-14) from behind the arc, in the game.
Sophomore guard Tim Hardaway Jr. (Miami, Fla./Palmetto Senior) scored a game-high 19 points, while junior/sophomore forward Jordan Morgan (Detroit, Mich./University of Detroit Jesuit) chipped in 12 points and seven rebounds.
Michigan held Purdue without a field goal for the first six minutes of the second half, during which it used an 11-3 run to push its lead to 41-31 at the 16:37 mark. However, the Boilermakers responded by going on the 20-6 run over the next eight and a half minutes.
With the Wolverines trailing by four, freshman guard Trey Burke (Columbus, Ohio/Northland HS) passed to a wide-open Morgan at the basket for a layup. Then, after a Purdue turnover on the other end, Morgan had the ball under the rim but kicked it out to senior guard Stu Douglass (Carmel, Ind./Carmel) in the corner for a triple to regain the lead, 52-51, at the 6:25 mark. The teams exchanged baskets for the next two and a half minutes, but the U-M defense held Purdue without a field goal for the final 3:53 of the game.
After a pair of free throws by Purdue guard Lewis Jackson, who finished with 17 points and eights assists, Burke had the ball in the lane and kicked it out to senior guard Zack Novak (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton), who in turn found Morgan for a two-handed slam and a 65-64 Michigan lead with 1:31 remaining. Purdue's next possession lasted for more than a minute, but the Boilermakers were unable to score, securing the victory for U-M.
The Boilermakers held a slight 5-4 advantage over the Wolverines early in the first half until Burke found Morgan cutting to the hoop for a dunk at the 15:00 mark to start a 10-0 Michigan run, during which Purdue was scoreless for five minutes. After back-to-back triples by senior captains Douglass and Novak, Douglass scored again on a layup to cap the run with 11:47 to play in the half.
However, back-to-back three-pointers by Purdue cut the Wolverines' lead to three, 20-17, at the 7:09 mark, and the teams exchanged baskets over the remainder of the half. Michigan entered the locker room at the break with a 30-28 edge.
The Wolverines will wrap up their three-game road trip on Sunday (Jan. 29) when they play Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio. Tipoff is slated for 1 p.m., and the game will be televised nationally on CBS.

Geographical restraints and stern heritage laws mean that Venice has changed remarkably little in centuries. The narrow canal-side walkways may be ever more crowded with camera-clicking tourists but the façades of the grand palazzos that line the water are much the same as when Lord Byron lived in the city, holding a torch in one hand to light his nocturnal swims.
Property prices have stayed static throughout the recession, averaging £810 a square foot in prime San Marco, and while there has been no fire sale the market is undoubtedly slow.
The advantages of owning in Venice include a long rental season — 30 weeks a year is perfectly possible providing yields of five to six per cent — and the joy of easy access from London on a variety of scheduled and budget airlines.
Elegant Palazzo Molin
In a city with such draconian planning laws, the renovation of an entire palazzo is a noteworthy story. Palazzo Molin del Cuoridoro in the heart of San Marco, two minutes' scenic stroll from St Mark's Square, is a 15th-century gothic palace now being converted into 18 apartments.
The palazzo is a perfectly square building, added to sympathetically over the centuries but with fabulous original architectural features. There are mullioned windows, chunky stone balconies and two water gates allowing direct access to the communal entrance hall from Barcaroli Canal, a quiet offshoot from the Grand Canal.
After some years as an office building and a two-year planning process, the palazzo's conversion is well under way with an unusually modern twist for this generally staid city.
The plans are for muted interiors, using a soft grey palette with restrained use of nutty-coloured marble in the bathrooms to complement original Venetian floors and painted beamed ceilings. Communal spaces include the elegant entrance hall and a quiet and unusually large courtyard garden.
"This is a rare restoration of an entire palazzo in San Marco and the sensitive interior treatment of an important historic building is a new departure for Venice," says Ann-Marie Doyle of Sotheby's. "Rental demand in San Marco is always strong."
Each apartment is different, with the smallest measuring 861sq ft and the two largest covering a whopping 3,120sq ft on the main floor, where 19ft ceilings and vast windows reflect the water immediately outside in a dazzlingly impressive living area.
Throughout the palazzo, ceilings are high and windows are large while even the smallest apartment has French doors on to the courtyard. Prices start from £591,200 for one bedroom, £905,000 for two bedrooms and £2.13 million for four. The two big "piano nobile" apartments are £4 million and £4.5 million.
Maintenance charges, often a reasonable concern for buyers in Venice, says Doyle, will start from about £2,415 a year. There will be no full-time concierge but owners can use the services of the nearby Hotel Dragomanni.
It's the most extraordinary city in the world
Barnes residents Victoria Farrow, former head of the Museum of Garden History in Lambeth, and her architect partner Peter Powlesand, bought a flat in Venice in 2004. Says Peter: "It was almost impossible to find what we wanted as we had a small budget, but we had a wonderful time looking."
They found a tiny, quiet apartment on the raised ground floor of a palazzo in San Marco, once home to Lord Byron. They redesigned the layout and restored it throughout. The location, 10 minutes from Rialto Bridge and five from St Mark's Square, means it rents well.
"Victoria and I are city dwellers and Venice is the most extraordinary and beautiful city in the world," says Peter. "Churches are filled with Titians or a Veronese. I love old things and Venice is still used as it was 500 years ago."
This year, the couple invested in a larger property in Venice and are selling their beloved apartment for £390,100 through Sotheby's.
And their top tips to get the best out of the city? "Buy two books," suggests Peter. "First, Venice Osterie by Michela Scibilia, which will ensure you never eat a bad meal in Venice again. And secondly, A Companion Guide to Venice by Hugh Honour, which details much of the character of the city."

Date of Stay: August, 2012
While this is a very clean park with well maintained grounds and facilities the sites are narrow, there are no shade trees and it has no personality. Many of the guests are full timers here for a while and are not very tolerant of those just passing through. Now for the noise, one plane was so low it shook the rv and there were more then a dozen flights between 6 and 7am, the first one at precisely 6am woke me up. We will not stay here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2012
Very well maintained park with the friendliest staff we've ever encountered. The big rig sites are on the frontage road but we never found the noise to be an issue. I give them a 9 only because the neighborhood is not the best, right at the same freeway exit is where all of the "no-tell motels" are located and you get quite the show as you drive by, but you do drive right on by. The park is several blocks from there, in a rural-residential neighborhood. As we drove up the manager ran right out to greet us and direct us to our spot and even helped with navigating the tight squeeze between 2 posts. (One of which my husband hit anyway because he doesn't always listen.) She checked on us occasionally, and even checked on our dog while we were out. While we were here they always seemed to have people going in and out of their transient sites, so make sure you make a reservation. If you must stay in Fresno, this is a great place and we would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Photo of the Day by endorphin2013-12-04 1 3 Share Tweet
I could have sworn those were Jenga blocks in the photo, although I realized upon further inspection that they were actually multiple exposures of actual buildings. Talk about your mind playing tricks on you.
Way to go *endorphin!* Your mind-boggling shot is our Photo of the Day. Amazing really, how a photographic technique can alter a viewer's perception. And you definitely altered mine, probably along with those of others in the community.
Our POTD was shot using a handy *La Sardina* loaded with Agfa CT Precisa film. You can find it in the album Estancias along with a few more of endorphin's outdoor shots.

Soup au Pistou
A bowl of this brothy vegetable soup is perfect for an early-spring dinner. If you have pesto saved in the freezer from last summer, this is a great way to use it up, but a good-quality store-bought pesto also works well.

Add the tomatoes, zucchini and peas, and cook until those vegetables are just tender, 5 to 8 minutes longer. Stir in the pasta and pesto and serve immediately.
One serving: 297 cal, 8 gm fat, 1.3 gm sat fat, 42 gm carb, 8 gm fiber, 16 gm protein. Tip: Add 2 cups shredded chicken to this vegetarian soup for a heartier meal. Tip: Make your pesto from whatever leafy herbs you have in your garden or farmshare and use in a frittata, pasta or potato salad.

Bordeaux Blend
Chateau Petrus 2010Pomerol, Bordeaux$8,873.99If you are a skeptic you would think Bordeaux are having us on declaring 2010 as another vintage of the decade, just after saying the same thing about the 2009 vintage. Weather conditions for 2009 and 2010 were almost identical with 2010 seeing as much sun as 2009 but lower temperatures. The 2010 Petrus exhibits ripeness, power and beauty. It shows a more medium bodied linear edge than the 2009. Perfection personified. Learn More
Chateau Montrose 2010St Estephe, Bordeaux$638.99The 2010 vintage of Chateau Montrose will go down as one the best ever and is a classic. The 2010 vintage is full of dark, brooding, concentrated fruits. A touch tight and closed, needs time to fully integrate and come together. This is wine for the cellar and will benefit from patience.. Learn More
Chateau Petrus 1982Pomerol, Bordeaux$14,788.991982 was a 10 out of 10 vintage in Bordeaux and it is the vintage that set Petrus into stardom making it the most expensive Bordeaux available. The wine is voluptuous and lavish with an amazing array of layered fruit, ranging from plums, liquorice, spice, cedar, truffles and violets. This wine will evolve and change whilst in the glass leaving an impression that will linger forever. Learn More
Chateau Petrus 1983Pomerol, Bordeaux$4,766.99Chateau Petrus is one of those wines that must be experienced at least once in your lifetime and if you're lucky, more often than that. Petrus is unlike any other Bordeaux wines; it is unique in its own right and extremely rare due to the small vineyard (11.4 Hectares). The 1983 isn't a vintage for the ages but is a Petrus that can be opened now. Learn More
Chateau Petrus 2000Pomerol, Bordeaux$12,980.99The 2000 vintage of Petrus is as perfect as it gets. This wine just embraces you with its enormous ripeness and unctuous texture. It exhibits aromas of plums, currents, cherries, liquorice and spice with an almost dry port like palate. This wine has an incredible length and velvety smooth tannins that dance along the palate. Oh My God! Learn More
Chateau Petrus 2005Pomerol, Bordeaux$9,199.992005 maybe one of the longest living Chateau Petrus made this century. This wine exudes, ripeness, spice and an amazing complex nose. It is extremely dense and is still quite closed and needs time to open to show its full potential. The tannins are refined and this wine is wonderfully poised and unadulterated, it will be a wine to remember. Learn More
Chateau Petrus 2006Pomerol, Bordeaux$5,751.992006 vintage in Bordeaux has become a forgotten vintage after following the hype of 2005. What you will find with most wines from the 2006 vintage is they might become the dark horse of your wine cellar and deliver an amazing surprise. 2006 Petrus is tight, closed full of brooding fruits. There is a great symmetry with this wine and it needs time to evolve. Learn More
Chateau Petrus 2009Pomerol, Bordeaux$8,873.99Richness and opulent fruits with cascading layers of flavour are the hall marks of an amazing Petrus and the 2009 vintage delivers this in spades. The 2009 vintage in Bordeaux delivered right across the board with the Left and Right bank benefiting from an extremely warm summer. This 2009 Petrus needs to come with a safe, lock and key as you will need some patience to see this wine reach its full glory. Learn More

Maine Golf
Maine Golf Vacations at the Samoset Resort
Celebrating over one hundred years of premier Maine golf, the Samoset Golf Course continues to inspire players of all skill levels with its breathtaking ocean vistas and one of the most challenging finishing holes in New England. Meandering along Rockport's scenic coastline and through the woods, the Samoset's 18-hole championship golf course boasts seven oceanside holes and 14 holes with spectacular views of the Atlantic.
The Samoset's signature hole, the par-five 4th, plays alongside Penobscot Bay. The hole boasts an impressive stone seawall that encompasses the contoured green with added bunkers and elevation. The 185-yard par-three 5th hole (formerly a par-four), features a demanding uphill slope and a tee box located directly above the seawall on Penobscot Bay, playing to a heavily bunkered bank and front sloping green.

The History of the Samoset Golf Course
Originally designed as a nine-hole course in 1902, Samoset Resort Golf Course celebrated its centennial year in 2002 and was also a qualifying event on the former Nike Tour. In 1974, the course was rebuilt as an 18-hole course by notable architect Robert Elder. In the early 1990s, Jeffrey Cornish improved many of the holes including 10, 11 and 18. In 2000, Bradley Booth was instrumental in redesigning and rebuilding holes 4, 5, 14, 18 as well as the introduction of the practice area. These recent improvements have strengthened the Samoset's reputation as the home of New England's premier championship course.

I have both the SIG P6 and the P239 (.9mm) and prefer the P239 over the P6. The P239 does indeed have a smaller profile -- it's smaller all around and thinner, it's also more rounded for concealment. It also has a better double-action trigger...the P6 has a harder trigger pull.
Also, the P239 magazines are readily available so they're not as pricey as the P6. The P239 comes with the 8-round magazines but can also be used with a 10-rounders, whereas the P6 is limited to 8-rounds. Though the P6 can be found for $285-350 versus a used P239 .9mm can be found for between $425-600, depending on the variant and finish.
Personally, I'd go with the P239 because of the smaller profile, fair magazine prices, and having the option buying the 10-round mags. The P6 is nice to have because it's no longer being made, making it a classic collector's gun.
I would buy a P239 first, followed by the P6...then add the P228, then finish the 9mm series by getting the P226. Once you've completed the 9mm collection, I'd immediately shift my focus on buying the P220 .45ACP. Finally, you'll want to work your way to the P229.

Design students create sandwich packaging
2 Mayo 2012 | From 1 June, your sandwiches on board our European KLM flights will be strikingly wrapped.
Delicious Art
At the beginning of this year, KLM announced the competition 'Delicious Art'. Students of the Avans/St Joost Schools of Art & Design in Breda (the Netherlands) were challenged to come up with a design that is culinary, surprising and energetic. Also, it needed to reflect KLM's distinct Dutch character.
Next, we asked our Facebook friends to vote on the most original entries! Eventually, 3 designs were chosen to wrap our sandwiches on European KLM flights and KLM Cityhopper flights between 100 and 170 minutes, and on flights shorter than 100 minutes until 09:00 hours.
In the next six months we will serve a total of 5 million sets of sandwiches in these design packaging. And of course, winners Silvie Buenen, Tom van der Pijl and Agnes Loonstra will soon be able to admire their own products on board a KLM flight.

Dutch design
For many years now, we have been working with established names in Dutch design. For example, Marcel Wanders has created our Business Class tableware. Our crew and staff are wearing creations by fashion designer Mart Visser. And we regularly serve dinners by famous Dutch chefs.

My Review
Stayed here for 4 nights, Didn`t plan to stay in the UK, but left it too late to book abroad, so ended up here.
The Apartment was of a good size, very clean and George appeared to be a nice chap. The kitchen was well equipped (including some milk). The only con I found was having to pay £5.50 per day in the local pay and display, as I like to know my car is secure, but I could see it from my room. Otherwise a nice clean place for a few days chilling. Apartments based at the top end of the Front and a Quiet place to stay!

The Ravens are 18th in the league in converting third downs at around 35%. One of the struggles for Dick LeBeau's defenses in the last several years has been getting off the field on third downs.

Managing the financial responsibilities of family life
By the time you have a family of your own, there will be accompanying expenses such as fees for various activities and lessons for your children, family vacations, saving for college educations or buying a new home. Throughout this time, you should regularly evaluate your progress towards achieving the financial goals you set earlier in your life and adjust your spending, budgeting and saving to make sure you stay on track. With all the demands a family places on your income, it is still important to build your long-term investments.
Planning and discipline that determines what and how you spend contributes to your future financial success. Here are some tips Greenfield Banking Company recommends for sound financial management during this demanding time of your life.
1. Shop for the best mortgage and consumer loans
Seeking the best mortgage or consumer loan by shopping, comparing and negotiating may save you thousands of dollars. A mortgagewhether for a home purchase, refinancing or a home equity loanis a product, just like a car, so terms may be negotiable. Youll want to compare all the costs involved in obtaining a mortgage including interest rates, points, fees and down payment and private mortgage insurance requirements. Home equity loans and lines of credit can be helpful when extra cash is needed to reduce significant credit card debtbut be cautious about re-building credit card debt once it is paid.
With competitive rates, experienced lending professionals and local decision-making, youll be sure to find a loan at Greenfield Banking Company that meets your needs.
To apply for a mortgage or consumer loan now, click on the links below, or stop by and talk with one of our lending officers.
- Fixed & Adjustable Rate Mortgages
- Construction Loans
- Installment Loans
- Home Equity Loans & Line of Credit
2. Understand your credit report
Your financial behavior over the past seven years, including how much credit you have, how long you've had it and whether you pay your bills on time is information included in your credit report. Three credit reporting agencies Equifax, TransUnion and Experian maintain these reports, and lenders buy them to help them decide whether to offer you a prequalification. Your credit report also carries your credit score ranked between 300 and 850 that many lenders use to decide whether you are creditworthy and will you'll repay a loan. Your credit score can also influence the interest rate you pay. In many cases the higher your score, the lower your interest rate.
Your credit score is available from the three credit reporting agencies:
Equifax www.equifax.com
TransUnion www.transunion.com
Experian www.experian.com
3. Start saving for college
By starting early, when your child is in preschool or before, you can build a realistic fund through the power of compounding over many years. The earlier you start, the less youll have to save per month.
Through Greenfield Banking Company, you can access products designed to help you fund your childs higher education. To learn more, or set up an educational account, click on the links below.
4. Conserve time, money and paper with convenient checking accounts with online banking and bill pay and no-charge ATM services

- NetTeller online banking & bill pay keep track of your finances, pay bills, make transfers through the convenience of online banking.
- Use GBC Pocket Banker to extend the convenience of online banking with mobile access.
- Electronic Statement notification go green and help organize your finances.
5. Save for retirement
Many people underestimate the amount of money theyll need in retirement. Be realistic about major expenditures, e.g., will your mortgage be paid off by retirement? If so, you may need less income than you do now. Do you plan to buy a vacation home or travel extensively? Will you have to pay for your own health insurance? These and other financial considerations all come into play.
Now is a good time to up your contributions to your retirement savings accounts. Talk with Greenfield Banking Companys financial consultants to learn about the products we offer that can help you meet your retirement goals.

Nude photos of actress Scarlett Johansson have surfaced on the internet, after the celebrity allegedly had pictures leaked from her mobile phone.
The photos show the 26-year old The Avengers star topless and in a towel with an exposed backside.
Johansson is the latest in a line of celebrities to fall victim to apparent leaked nude photos - Jessica Alba and Vannessa Hudgens similarly suffered the embarrassment of having explicit pictures appearing online.
She has enlisted the help of the FBI to investigate and catch the tech-savvy thieves who hacked into her phone and stole several sultry images, according to celebrity news website TMZ.
Websites like Perez Hilton and Mediatakout.com then received the images.
A representative for Johansson was unavailable for comment, but FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller has told E! News that they are on the case.
"The FBI is investigating a person or group responsible for a series of cyber intrusions of high profile figures" she said.
"This would include many devices - could mean a computer, desktop, laptop, iPad, cell phone...intrusions into personal online accounts too."

beware of barefoot charters
To Whom It May Concern, if you are thinking about bareboat charter boat ownership and like to read:
Maui Girl started this thread in May. We have waited to post this to give the St. Vincent authorities time to respond to our written allegations of theft by fraud and customs fraud by Barefoot Yacht Charters (BYC). In February of this year, I reported our claims to the Prime Ministers office in St. Vincent, sending several pages of supporting documents by e-mail. We requested that the Prime Minister forward our letter to the proper authorities for investigation. After I sent a second follow up e-mail, I telephoned that same office and was told by staff that the Prime Minister had received our e-mail, but it was unknown what, if any action or response might be taken. No reply has been received to date.
Before we get into the details of our experiences with BYC, we want to acknowledge that there are other owners in the Barefoot Yacht Charters fleet who are perfectly happy. One that I am familiar with, and have discussed our concerns with, is Rob Charuk. Rob maintains a wonderful web site regarding sailing, chartering, and his experience with BYC, the people of the area and many other topics of interest to potential charterers or owners. I strongly recommend his site: www.usual-suspects-sailing.com\, I think you will find it informative and especially entertaining.
Our experience with BYC:
In March of 2000, my wife and I placed a 1995 Fountain Pajot catamaran in charter service with BYC. Both parties signed BYCs charter contract and agreement. Included in the agreement were statements that we, the owners, could request and receive copies of any invoices that applied to parts or charges for our boat.
Our first inkling that all was not well started when we were intentionally misled by BYC, via e-mail, that the cost of a new main sail we had specified and obtained a quotation for had increased by 10%, for various reasons other then the real reason; BYC had added a markup. Now markups are fine and as a former business owner, I know you must cover your expenses and make a profit or you wont stay in business very long. The problem was the initial misrepresentation of the reason for the increased cost over the quote we had personally obtained. After several e-mails back and forth, BYC admitted there had been a markup applied, we agreed to a settlement price and to continue our relationship with BYC. But----
Then we started seeing and questioning mysterious charges and apparent over charges, along with questionable items, on our monthly statements. Later, we had to engage in exchanges of sometimes not so pleasant e-mails with Seth, to remedy the screw-ups and derelictions of duty on BYCs part. If you are an owner, be sure you give yourself ample opportunity to observe your boat personally. Deferred maintenance can add greatly to your expenses, and also put your charterers at risk.
A very small sample of the issues we faced:
Billing by two different contractors for installing the same part, a $62.00 or $65.00, (depending on which supplier was quoting), fuel lift pump, billed at $435.28 cost to us, plus the double labor. There were many contentious e-mails from Seth, arguing that his figure was the correct price for the pump. At one point Seth wrote that he had on his desk an invoice for $267.00 for a Yanmar pump, although BYCs own supplier told us the price of the pump to BYC was $62US plus freight. Then Seth started adding all the freight, customs and other charges and arrived at the magical $435.28 cost to us. See below for the rest of the story under Not quite duplicate invoices.
Wear and tear hull repairs BYC charged us for on our eight month old AB dink (with a five year guarantee from the manufacturer), after we gave notice of our boat leaving the BYC fleet. We later learned the RPG hull was broken, leaked when the inadequate repair failed, and it ultimately cost us $600.00 for proper repairs. It appears the dink was either in a collision or used one too many times as a 15hp tug for BYC. Beware, we observed BYC staff use owners dinks, especially the higher horse power ones, as service dinks. In our case, we observed our new, (2 hours). 15hp engine went being used wide open throttle for several minutes pushing a 40 foot mono hull beam to the wind.
Ridiculous Billing errors: One of many examples. Three different billings for three batteries that we personally saw installed in the port hull, before they got the price, type and number correct. At one point Seth, almost joyfully, thanked us for bringing the mistakes to his attention and tried to bill us for group 4s instead of the group 24s we had seen installed! Group 4s weigh about 100 lbs and sell for about $200 instead of Group 24 at 39 lbs and a reasonable price of around $60.00.
Seths repeated attempt to bill us for a set of speakers at over three times the list price of what was actually installed. We were billed $133.00 for the most expensive speakers in the Budget Marine catalog, not the $44.00 West Marine speakers we observed. This included statements that no one at BYC had installed West Marine speakers on our boat and they never bought anything from West Marine. Several weeks later, someone, (Mary?), took our suggestion, went to the boat and looked at the speakers. They found they were in fact, the moderately priced West Marine brand speakers. A sort of credit was issued. We wondered why such a fight over something so easy to verify?
Invoices: We asked many, many times for copies of invoices. After about one year we had received a total of 6. We continued to ask, and finally received a large package of invoices. Trouble was, there were a total of 71 sets of invoices and customs charge sheets, but only 5 matched our boat, equipment or engine brand. The other 66 referred to different brand engine parts, a ten foot shaft, drill presses, TVs, office supplies, etc--you get the point.
Not quite duplicate invoices: Included in the above invoices were a set of identical invoices, except that one is a fax and the prices for each of the two items are half the price of the second invoice. Prior to sending these invoices, Seth had advised us, in writing, that this one supplier nearly always furnished invoices at one half price to be presented to customs, so that we pay a lower stamp/customs fees on arrivial (sp). This made us wonder, if BYC cheats the customs department, are owners also fair game?
Ironically, the not quite duplicate invoices were apparently the ones Seth used to justify the overcharging of the above mentioned fuel lift pump. The invoice is for a Rebuild Yanmar fuel pump at $267.00 each for two. On the same invoices are 6 Rebuild Yanmar injectors, so it appears these were for another cat. The other problem was these invoices were dated seven months before the overcharge to us.
Main anchor chain and rode: Our galvanized main anchor and chain rode were original equipment, but in good condition when put into BYCs fleet. The galvanized main rode described as being in fair condition by our inspector on June 8, 2001 and about 30 days before leaving the BYC fleet, changed to now very rusty when he picked up the boat from BYC on June 30, 2001, just 22 days later? The inspector noted on June 8, 2001, that the main anchor was missing from the boat and was off for painting according to BYC staff. Now the main anchor was a galvanized anchor when I personally removed it to have it straightened in January 2001, and left it on the boat in February. I also replaced the shackle with a new galvanized shackle, as the original was starting to show some wear and rust. When we visited the boat in November of 2001, I learned what the report meant by very rusty. The anchor and chain on our boat bore no resemblance to the equipment we left on board in February. We drove to the store and $750.00+ later had a new anchor and rode. I would not ask someone to pay to charter a boat equipped with that piece of rusty junk. (We have photos). BYC disavowed any knowledge of how it got that way other then leaving it out in the rain.
Safety items: We were charged for windless repairs, (including a main shaft-see bent anchor mentioned above), in the fall of 2000. When we visited the boat in February of 2001, we found there were three problems with the windless that were not in evidence prior to BYCs repairs: 1. A safety disconnect switch had been bypassed, 2. A cover was missing from one of the deck foot switches, and 3. The clutch/brake was frozen. Someone could be severely injured by the sudden and unexpected operation of the windless, especially with the missing switch cover. We informed BYC staff verbally and in writing, more then once, of these safety issues and Seth assured us they would be taken care of immediately. Not true. The clutch/brake was still frozen and the safety switch was still bypassed when the boat left BYC.
The good news about BYC: they did an excellent job of promoting the boat and keeping her busy with charters. The boat was a financial success as far as income. It was the deterioration of the boat and excessive charges, especially at the end, that bothered us. We requested in writing, but never received, 11 more invoices for items we could not verify were ever installed or even purchased by BYC, during the 90 days after we gave notice that we were leaving BYCs fleet. In the end, BYC did credit us for some, but not all, of the items where we found discrepancies, but it took a great deal of our time and energy to identify, document, and contest them. We found several more items after the boat was removed from the fleet, e.g., the anchor and rode and dingy damage, but BYC refused to accept responsibility for these items. Life is too short, who needs this kind of aggravation?
Are we cheap nit pickers, some might question? No, the truth is we spent many extra dollars ordering upgrades, replacements and refinishing for the boat while at BYC to make her the best in the fleet. We were very disappointed with what we found during January/February of 2001, after less then a year with BYC. The boat was clean, but several safety defects were found and the general condition was rundown. We presented a detailed list of defects and safety items to Seth, who promised all would be made right. We withheld the written notice to leave BYC we had prepared at that time. After the next statement arrived it was obvious nothing had really changed and we gave the required 90 day written notice.
Are we new to boat ownership? No. I have owned several, and this cat is the smallest of the last three sail boats I have owned. I have worked on them myself, bought parts for them, paid others to work on them, broken parts on them and have a fair idea of what is what when it comes to repairs and maintenance, or the lack thereof, and what various part cost.
Do I know a lie when I see and read it? You betcha. I am a retired law enforcement officer/investigator. I am also a packrat, so I have saved and printed nearly every email and correspondence from BYC. All the proof and verifications of the allegations presented here, and lots more, are in our files. I also know what libel is and this is not it. Just the facts.
Is there a difference between business disputes and fraud? Yes. Fraud and theft by fraud is when you are over charged, charged for something you didnt get or some entrusted item is taken from you.
Are we down on charter boat ownership and are all charter companies bad? Nope. Charterers dont treat our boats like most owners do and things break and/or wear out faster because of increased use. We moved our boat to Horizon Yacht Charters after BYC. Is all now wonderful? Nope. Things still break mistakes happen and deferred maintenance items needed tending to. The difference is when we get an email or statement now; we are not automatically looking for the overcharge, because it isnt there. The second difference is the boats general condition and maintenance level. Maintenance records, inspections and check lists are used to greatly reduce negative surprises and failures. (When our boat left BYC, our agent was told there were no maintenance records other then the statements sent to the owners). Oh, a commercial: Horizon has a great website: www.horizonyachtcharters.com/.
Are we looking for trouble or wish BYC ill? No. We wish to make it clear we hold no personal animosity for Mary Bernard. We are aware of the good things she had done for some of her employees and to improve the tourist industry of her country. We suspect that Mary may not be fully aware of the details of what we experienced. We do feel an obligation to share our experiences to inform other potential charter boat owners. A monthly statement shouldnt be the signal for your blood pressure to go up. Are these problems unique to BYC? No. These are problems that can occur, and according to our conversations with other owners, do occur in other fleets. It pays to thoroughly investigate your charter company; we certainly learned some lessons at BYC. We hope that BYC has been able to remedy these problems. They were certainly aware of them.
Life is good and boat ownership should be also. To quote Mary from BYC in one of her last emails to us; As the Rastas say, Peace and Love, otherwise there is no point in living.

Black borders would be perfect.. also the cornerstones... beautiful....just Beautiful.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Black borders would be perfect.. also the cornerstones... beautiful....just Beautiful.
it looks great. i like your idea of a large black border with 4P cornerstones. then you can do some pretty quilting in the large border with some jewel variegated thread.
It is amazing ! Do I dare ask how long it took to make ? As for borders.. Black to finish it off is my choice also
Your quilt is so very beautiful. I'm sure you will determine what border will work best--you certainly know what you're doing :).
Now I don't want to hear any more about how you are intimidated to show your work as you are a newer quilter!!!
Girl you have more than earned your stars!!! That is one fantastic quilt!!!!
You have no reason to be ashamed of your work!!!! It is gorgeous!!
You deserve to pat yourself on the back for this one!!
I look forward to seeing it all done!
That is absolutely stunning!
Just to be different for the border.... what about a nice wide strip of black, with a chain of coloured squares the size of the smaller squares in the body of the quilt.
Thank yo so much!!! Wow! What a cool idea!!! I could do black, small colored squares and then back to black again! Hmmmm, smoke is coming out of my ears!Originally Posted by BlueChicken
Thank you Rhonda!! I am so encouraged here, makes me want to quilt all the more!Originally Posted by Rhonda

great idea!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
If you didn't want to hang one on the wall you could build an oversize ladder and lean in against the wall. Don't know if my cats would stay off it though!
Neat idea! I wonder if we could build another wall to put it on. LOL. Wish I had room for something like this. Maybe some day....
That is really a great idea!
Really a good idea... I would put it where everyone who came in my house could see my quilts!!
Really neat idea! May have to get hubby to make one of these for me!
Be a blessing to others, as you may entertain angels unaware!
I just sent this link to my mom (also a quilter) and my dad (who works with wood!)! Love it!
Living a 1/4" from the edge
Great idea!!!!!
Looks wonderful in your space! I think my smaller wall would look like it's falling in on me if I put that many quilts up on it for display, though.

Dear Alice,
I would really like to work out at home. I am a 22 year old full- time college student, who also works 30 hours a week as a hair stylist. I do have some evenings a week I can work out at home for 30 minutes to an hour, but I just don't know what all there is to do without any machines, and little exercise videos on hand. I was always in sports in high school so I was in great shape, but now I am 20-30 pounds overweight and I really want to change that. I've been doing great with my dieting, but I just really want to work out. Do you have any suggestions as far as a routine for me to shed the weight?
Thank you
Dear Reader,
Creating an at-home exercise program is a great way to get more physically fit, especially if you have limited time and resources. The good news is you can have a well-rounded workout without ever stepping in a gym or using machines! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations for physical activity are at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity each week, spread out over at least three days. Moderate intensity simply means that you will raise your heart rate and break a sweat. Strengthening activities are also recommended at least twice a week.
One way to incorporate aerobic and strengthening activities in a home-based workout is by alternating between cardio exercises and strength training exercises. For example, do jumping jacks for two minutes then do push-ups for one minute. Follow this up by repeating jumping jacks for two minutes and doing lunges for one minute, etc. In this type of circuit, you integrate aerobic activities with various strengthening activities in an efficient routine. Other examples of at-home aerobic activities include walking/marching/jogging in place and jumping rope. Sit-ups, squats, and leg lifts can be done at home to strengthen muscles.
In addition to working out in your home, it can be easy to get extra exercise while going about your everyday activities. For example, get off the bus or subway a few stops early and walk the rest of the way. Taking the stairs instead of the elevator is always a good option, as well. And, if you have that extra hour, a brisk 30-minute walk or jog outdoors is great aerobic exercise and you will still have 30 minutes to take a shower and get ready for your next activity!
In addition to the information listed above, the USDA MyPlate initiative is a great resource for physical activity information.
Break a sweat!Alice!

|Bruins won't let Henrik Zetterberg distract them from Pavel Datsyuk
|04.24.14 at 2:02 pm ET
DETROIT — Mike Babcock used the expression "Who knows?" when talking about whether game-time decision Henrik Zetterberg will play in Game 4 against the Bruins.
Claude Julien thinks he knows.
"In my mind, he's going to be there tonight," Julien said.
Zetterberg has not played an NHL game since Feb. 8 and had back surgery on Feb. 21 after playing one Olympic game. He skated on a line with Pavel Datsyuk and Justin Abdelkader in Thursday's morning skate, suggesting he will be in the lineup and play on Detroit's top line. Babcock did note that he must first be cleared by a doctor.
Babcock matched Datsyuk's line against David Krejci's in Game 3. If he does that again Thursday, it will be interesting for a couple of reasons. For starters, it could potentially make that top line a handful for Krejci's trio. Having Datsyuk play against a line not centered by Patrice Bergeron is one thing, but Datsyuk and Zetterberg together is a different animal.
For Krejci, his focus won't change if Zetterberg's in the lineup. As he sees it, there is one man that absolutely has to be accounted for, and that's Datsyuk.
"You know what? [Zetterberg] is a good player, but Datsyuk is Datsyuk and we still have to be aware of Datsyuk any time he's on the ice," Krejci said.
The Bruins have held Datsuk to one goal on four shots on goal in the first three games of the series. In total, Detroit has scored just two goals through three games.
With Zetterberg skating alongside Datsyuk, Krejci would welcome the challenge of facing such a line. Krejci has led two of the last three postseasons in scoring, but has no points thus far as he has been tasked with keeping Detroit's offense quiet, especially in Game 3. That's different from some other series, but it's working out for Boston.
"It's kind of fun," Krejci said. "For most of the year, you're facing lines that are trying to shut you down and you're fighting through it. This time, it's a little bit different. We're trying to shut their line down. It's kind of fun. It's a little bit challenging at times, but I've been having lots of fun this series so far."
If Datsyuk's line with Zetterberg does play against Krejci's line, it also means that a player returning from a back injury will have to take regular shifts against Milan Lucic and Jarome Iginla — two very physical players — in his first game back.
Asked whether he thought Zetterberg would be up to that physical challenge, Detroit defenseman Brendan Smith laughed.
"Are you serious? Like yeah, obviously I think he can," Smith said. "I mean, the harder the competition, the better Z is. You look at series before where you have [Ryan] Getzlaf and [Corey] Perry, who are big boys. He just came in and stepped in really well there and then he had to go against [Marian] Hossa and [Jonathan] Toews and just kind of toyed with them.
"He's an unbelievable player. He's a top-notch player. Yeah, any first line on any team is going to be tough to come in for your first game, but that's the type of player he is. He's a competitor."
Regardless of which line plays against Datsyuk and Zetterberg, you can bet Zdeno Chara will be on the ice against them. Zetterberg scored two five-on-five goals this season when both Chara and Bergeron were on the ice, which is fairly unheard of.
"They're very dangerous," Chara said of Datsyuk and Zetterberg being teamed together. "They play really well together. They know about each other pretty well, even without looking at each other, they know every time where they're at. It's a really good line with them being together."
|Milan Lucic, David Krejci, Jarome Iginla fail to get going in Bruins' Game 1 loss to Red Wings
|04.19.14 at 12:02 am ET
Going into this series, it seemed like a pretty safe assumption that Patrice Bergeron and Pavel Datsyuk would match up frequently. Maybe you'd give the Bruins a slight edge there given that Datsyuk is coming back from an injury, but for the most part, you'd expect that to be a back-and-forth dogfight. Sure enough, that's more or less how Game 1 played out — their lines went against each other pretty much every time out, and the matchup was essentially a wash until Datsyuk's goal with 3:01 left in the game.
In theory, that matchup should have freed up the Bruins' top line of Milan Lucic, David Krejci and Jarome Iginla to pick on Detroit's lesser lines and banged-up defensive corps. That didn't happen, though.
In fact, that line played one of its worst games of the season in Game 1. It went up against the trio of Gustav Nyquist, Riley Sheahan and Tomas Tatar for the majority of its shifts (thanks to shiftchart.com for the excellent data), and found itself chasing the puck most of the night. Lucic, Krejci and Iginla were able to get what should have been a favorable matchup against Detroit's second pairing of Kyle Quincey and Danny DeKeyser — an OK, but far-from-great duo — for about half their shifts, but they never really got a chance to take advantage because of how much time they spent in their own zone.
A lot was made of Detroit's speed going into the series, and this was really the one place that it showed. Nyquist and Tatar motored their way through the neutral zone and into the Bruins' end time and again, with the back pressure from Krejci and company a little too late too often. From there, the cycle was on, as Boston's top trio had to resort to chasing the puck rather than possessing it. When they did get it, they struggled to get through the neutral zone and sustain any sort of offensive pressure.
The result was Lucic, Krejci and Iginla all finishing with Corsi percentages under 40 (according to the fantastic extraskater.com), marking just the sixth time this season their possession numbers as a line have dipped that low. In near perfect symmetry, Nyquist, Sheahan and Tatar all finished with Corsi percentages over 60. If the more basic shot on goal stat is your thing, Sheahan's line had eight, while Krejci's line had four. It is worth mentioning, however, that Krejci's line had arguably the Bruins' best chance all night when Lucic tipped an Iginla shot that wound up trickling just wide about 30 seconds before Datsyuk scored.

|Andy Brickley on M&M: 'I have no problem with tinkering with lines right now'
|04.02.14 at 12:32 pm ET
NESN Bruins analyst Andy Brickley made his weekly appearance with Mut & Merloni on Wednesday to talk about the Bruins' final stretch of games in April before the playoffs begin. To hear the interview, go to the Mut & Merloni audio on demand page.
With the season winding down, Claude Julien may change some of the lineups to see how different players play together and give rest to others.
"I have no problem with tinkering with lines right now," Brickley said. "If I expect a few guys, like [Patrice] Bergeron or even a David Krejci, get a night off between now and the final game against Jersey, the regular season, then you're going to be forced to have different combinations. And if you choose to break up some lines in order to see what something look likes, now is the time to do it."
The Bruins went 15-0-2 in the month of March, playing in multiple back-to-backs on their way to securing a division title. According to Brickley, the third and fourth lines were a big reason they were able to do that.
"That third line along with the fourth line and their ability to play and handle significant minutes during that month when you're playing 17 games really sets this Bruins team apart from the rank and file," Brickley said.
Brickley sees two distinct views when it comes to projecting the first opponent of a team during the playoffs.
"Do you want to start out with a team that you know you can pretty much handle, and then you want to gradually increase that emotion and adrenaline to keep you getting in the postseason?" Brickley said. "Or do you want someone really meaningful right off the bat, get that emotion where it needs to be in the postseason? I'm of the school of thought that it doesn't matter. You've got to beat three really good teams to get to the final. You've got to beat four unbelievable teams to win a Stanley Cup."
|Bruins not dwelling on recent struggles vs. Canadiens
|03.11.14 at 6:36 pm ET
MONTREAL — Whenever the Bruins and Canadiens play, it's a big game. For the last year, the rivalry has been a big disappointment for the Bruins.
The Habs have won the last five meetings between the two teams dating back to last March 3 and are looking to improve to 3-0-0 against the B's this season. In each of the last three games between the teams, the Bruins have scored just one goal.
The B's can't put their finger on why the Habs have had their number, but Claude Julien ventured a guess Tuesday.
"I can't answer that, but I can tell you one thing: I don't think we've played well against them," Julien said. "Have they given us trouble or have we given ourselves trouble? That's the thing we've got to figure out here because in my mind it's not to take any credit away from them but I'm going to talk more about this year.
"The game in Boston [a 4-1 Habs win on Jan. 31], we just weren't playing well at all, so hopefully tomorrow we'll paint a different picture, and if we play the way we've played lately I think it's going to be a great game. So we've just got to focus on that."
While the troublesome outings have been there for the B's in recent meetings with the Canadiens, Julien wouldn't go as far as saying that the Habs do something that throws them off their game. Read the rest of this entry »
|Zdeno Chara, David Krejci return to Bruins practice; Niklas Svedberg, Matt Linblad recalled
|02.24.14 at 1:10 pm ET
The Bruins recalled forward Matt Lindblad and goaltender Niklas Svedberg for Monday's practice as the team awaits getting its full roster back from the Olympics.
Back for the practice were Zdeno Chara and David Krejci, while the team is still without Patrice Bergeron, Loui Eriksson, Tuukka Rask and coach Claude Julien.
Though the team has called up players in recent days to fill out its practice roster (Lindblad practiced Friday and was sent back down), Svedberg could have stayed up with the team and gone to Buffalo if the team wanted to let Rask rest after the Olympics. Bruins assistant coach Geoff Ward said that is not the case, and that Svedberg is simply up with the team to practice.
"No, he's here just to make sure that we've got a complement," Ward said. "As far as the other guys go, I'm sure you probably won't see them at practice tomorrow, but they'll be getting back quickly."
The Bruins will practice Tuesday and then travel to Buffalo for their first game back from the Olympic break.
|Bruins playing it safe with families given threat of danger at Olympics
|01.23.14 at 11:41 pm ET
With suicide bombings striking Russia and the threat of more — three potential suicide bombers are rumored to be on the loose — leading up to the Olympics, Bruins representatives are unsure of whether they want their families there.
Bruins captain Zdeno Chara, who will be Slovakia's captain and flag bearer, has plans for his father, a former Olympic wrestler and coach, to go. However, he told WEEI.com Thursday that his family is still taking things (one of which is safety) into consideration.
"Not sure," Chara said. "We're planning. Everything is set up for him to come, but we have to still wait for a few things [and see] how it goes."
David Krejci, who will represent the Czech Republic, does not want his mother to go, though she intends to see her son play.
'I told my family not to go, but my mom wants to go so I can't stop her," Krejci said. "I would prefer if she didn't go. I understand everybody who doesn't want their families to go. It's a scary situation. I'm sure the Russian president is going to take care of everything and he'll make the Olympic Games safe, but we'll see what happens."
Added Krejci: 'I've been reading papers and watching TV, so I know there's been a lot of talk about it. I know [the United States] have sent lots of military people over there, so it's going to be interesting. You kind of don't know what you're getting into but I'm sure they're going to do everything they can to make it safe.'
Claude Julien, who is on Canada's coaching staff, faces a similar situation with his wife, who wants to go, while Julien would rather his family be safe.
"That's still a debate right now. Not my family. If anything, it will be my wife, but that's still under debate right now," Julien said. "There is concern, like anybody else, but there's concern like that everywhere else. I think it's been exposed more because of what it represents, but it's a decision we'll make later."

|Bruins don't believe in measuring-stick games
|01.19.14 at 5:27 pm ET
CHICAGO — Are there still measuring-stick games when a team has been the Stanley Cup finals twice in the last three seasons? If it's against a team as talented and deep as the Blackhawks, probably.
The Bruins rose to the occasion in their 3-2 shootout loss to the Blackhawks Sunday, coming a Tuukka Rask miscue or one less Gregory Campbell whiff away from wrapping up a two-game road trip with four points. After the game, players agreed that the two teams brought their best in a rematch of the 2013 Stanley Cup finals, but not all of the Bruins felt they needed to learn how they measured up against Chicago.
"No," David Krejci said. "We know what we can do, so it doesn't matter who we play against. If we play our best game, then we can beat anybody. We've proven that so far in the last few years. As long as all four lines are going and all six D and goalie [play well], then we can beat anybody in the league."
The Bruins had been treading water of late, as they were 4-5-0 in their previous five games, but their effort at United Center was one that would have likely earned them a win in any of those contests.
Claude Julien said the showing Sunday — which didn't necessarily look promising early on — was simply a case of the B's knowing they needed to play better than they had been.
"I think that we just kind of looked at ourselves here and told ourselves that we needed to be better and we knew we could be better," Julien said. "That's just about going out there and showing it. We don't have to prove anything; we just have to show that we're a good team night-in, night-out. It's as simple as that."
The Blackhawks are second in the NHL with 75 points this season, while the B's lead the Atlantic Division and are second in the Eastern Conference with 62 points. The Bruins will have another game against an elite Western Conference team Monday when they host the Kings at TD Garden.

We hear it all the time. Forty is the new 20, Fifty the new 30 . . . But reading glasses can get in the way. Baby Boomers can still rock the house, but can't read the music. They can still strike out the batter, but can't read the box scores. They still look beautiful, but can't see to put on makeup. The exciting news is there is no reason to be frustrated any longer.
Baby Boomers are the largest growing population segment in the United States. Every eight seconds a person turns 50. By 2011, 25% of our population will be over 40. Baby Boomers are taking better care of themselves physically and are much more active than in generations past. However, they are growing increasingly frustrated by Presbyopia – or their need for reading glasses.
Due to recent advances in science and technology, many surgical remedies are now available for those who are qualified candidates. Several of these procedures are available exclusively in San Diego at Gordon & Weiss Vision Institute. We offer more Presbyopia correcting options than any other center in the country.
You want to see as young as you feel so why be limited by your need for eyeglasses or contacts. Call us today to schedule your complimentary consultation to see how the expert surgeons at Gordon & Weiss Vision Institute can help you make a positive difference in your life.

We take you to a fair at the University of Maine where colleges are strutting their stuff for prospective students. Attendance is high at the University of Maine's College Fair. ' There's tons of people here. Tons," said Michelle Baker, a sophomore in high school from Milo. Nearly 200 colleges and universities are on hand to give high schoolers a crash course on what they have to offer." Two year schools, four year schools, we have schools from the Midwest, schools from the South. The University of Maine System is here," said Bill Munsey, associate director of undergraduate admissions at the University of Maine. It's an eye-opener for students. " It's really cool that all these colleges would come here just for these students that probably half of them don't know what they're going to do, but half of them do," said Baker. The goal is to help both halves– those who know what they want to study and whose who aren't sure– find a place to call home after high school. " This is actually the first step, just making kids aware of what's available," said Ken Frederick, director of guidance at Hermon High School. " I want to major in Zoology and I didn't know there was so many schools that actually specialize in that certain major," said Cailee Mercier , a senior at Bangor High School. " You don't have every day to go and see the College of Montana and get information on Montana or everything," added Baker. " To be able to talk to a representative from each college and get their perspective of everything is really nice," said Mercier. Whether they choose to stay close or go far, it looks like the college fair gets an A for its effort.

OGDEN, Utah - The Weber State football team held its first scrimmage of fall camp Saturday morning and both sides of the ball took some strides.
"There were a lot of positives today," said WSU head coach Ron McBride. "Our rushing game was strong and we made some plays on the ground. Some of our young players played well and stepped up and contributed. Defensively we made some good stops and I thought our special teams were strong as well."
One of the strong points of the day was the rushing game as the Wildcats totaled over 300 yards on the ground. Josh Booker had ten carries for 57 yards and Tanner Hinds posted 12 carries for 37 yards and one touchdown. Junior Kris Parham had 48 yards rushing and C.J. Tuckett added 42 yards.
Freshman Barrinton Collins also posted a strong rushing day, totaling 119 yards on 12 attempts, including a 66-yard touchdown run on his very first attempt of the day.
In the passing game, junior quarterback Mike Hoke threw completed 10-18 passes for 118 yards and one touchdown. Sophomore Jordan Adamczyk also fared well, making 7-11 completions for 105 yards and two TD's. Freshman Ben Maraz was 4-4 for 84 yards with the third-team.

On the defensive end the Wildcats had several key stops. Trevor Pletcher and Kela Marciel each recorded a sack.

Birmingham chief Peter Pannu admits the club's dire finances will force more sales next month – with Jack Butland leading the exodus.
Liverpool want the England keeper, 19, for £6million and the skint Championship club desperately needs the cash.
Blues owner Carson Yeung's assets have been frozen pending a money-laundering case in Hong Kong.
The club is up for sale and takeover talks are dragging on with Gianni Paladini and a Far East consortium.
But Pannu warned fans that more sales are inevitable in January to avoid City going into administration.
He is anxious to shift players from the wage bill – especially Nikola Zigic who collects over £50,000 a week at St Andrew's.
The giant striker, 32, is still proving hard to move on, but Butland is in demand.
Mirror Sport revealed in August that Birmingham had rejected a £6m Southampton offer for the shot-stopper, but City would happily accept that fee now.
Blues' acting-chairman Pannu explained: "I can't let this club run into the ground. The principle is to keep the club going.
"My top priority is to make sure this club stays afloat.
"If I do annoy the supporters and I do dispose of players, it will be to keep the club afloat. I just need to do what I have to do.
"There are players who are earning a lot of money here, at least five players I'd hope weren't earning that much.
"I rejected a £6m bid in the summer for our keeper Jack Butland from Southampton, but I might not be able to reject it if I get something similar now."
