Crooked Numbers: Opossums, triple plays
Clinton adopts stuffed animal to end slump, K-Mets win messy game
By Benjamin Hill / MiLB.com | August 6, 2014 10:23 AM ET
On May 8, the Clinton LumberKings mounted one of the greatest comebacks in the history of baseball. Losing to the Burlington Bees by a score of 17-1 after five innings, they tied the score at 17-17 in the ninth and then scored three more in the 12th for a nearly unfathomable 20-17 victory.
That game was one for the ages, the sort of life experience that inspires endless retellings by all involved for the remainder of their mortal existence. Unfortunately, however, that Brobdingnagian comeback was not at all indicative of the sort of season that the LumberKings have had. After May 8's epic win, they played .500 ball for the remainder of the month and then took a nosedive -- the Midwest League club went 7-18 in the month of June and then 11-17 in July, and throughout the bulk of that time, the once-indomitable offense was nowhere to be found.
Things got so bad that, on July 11, the LumberKings managed to lose in walk-off fashion in a game that was played in their own ballpark (it was the completion of a suspended game, which began on June 30 in Cedar Rapids and then resumed in Clinton). Things got even worse later in the month, as from July 23-28 the LumberKings managed to score just two runs over a span of 47 innings. Clinton broadcaster Cheyne Reiter points out that, during this stretch, the team was outscored by 27 runs as opposing pitchers recorded an 0.31 ERA.
Then during a game in Quad Cities on July 30, the LumberKings luck finally took a turn for the better again.
The opossum appeared on the field as the River Bandits were batting in the bottom of the fifth inning. The LumberKings came to bat in the sixth, trailing 4-0, and, fueled by an ineffable opossum mojo, promptly scored five runs en route to a 6-5 come-from-behind victory. This snapped a six-game losing streak, in favor of what would become a season-high five-game winning streak (that came to an end Aug. 4 against Beloit when a furious rally fell just short).
@bensbiz Rally Opossum Update for CLI: 30R, 41H in last 22 innings since opossum delay Wed; 7R on 51H in 61 prior innings. #crookednumbers
- CTrey Reiter (@CheyneReiter) August 2, 2014
The power of the opossum has not gone unnoticed. The LumberKings have since acquired a stuffed opossum that is now a member of the team's traveling party, and Reiter reports that the relief pitchers are now searching for a larger stuffed opossum that will take up residence in the bullpen. Additionally, a stuffed opossum can now also be found in the press box of Clinton's Ashford University Field.

- Clinton LumberKings (@LumberKings) August 5, 2014
If the LumberKings' marsupial-inspired run of success continues, then a "Salute to the Opossum" theme night very well may be a late addition to the team's promotional calendar.
"If it continues to bring good luck, I don't see why not!" wrote Reiter in an email.
Mishap-palachian League Baseball
The Appalachian League is at the lowest rung of the Minor League Baseball ladder and, as such, mistake-laden games are to be expected. Nonetheless, it'd be tough to top what the Kingsport Mets accomplished on July 7. Seven players combined to make eight errors over a span of four innings, but the Mets still managed to defeat Pulaski, 16-11. Four errors were committed in the fifth inning, one in the sixth, and three more in the eighth.
The 16 runs scored by Kingsport were a season high, and the seven players who committed errors atoned for their defensive sins by combining to go 12-for-22 with nine runs scored and nine RBIs. But the weirdness didn't end there, as this ballgame also featured four hit batters, three wild pitches and, best of all, an ultra-rare 8-2-1-5-4 "sacrifice double-play" in the top of the eighth inning. Kingsport left fielder Vincente Lupo contributed an RBI double to the offensive barrage on the same day that he and teammate Wuilmer Becerra were arraigned for drag racing on the fourth of July.
Kingsport made as many errors in the span of four innings as it would make in the next five ballgames. But wouldn't you know it? Despite the increased defensive acumen, they recorded a losing record (2-3) in those games.
Facing the minimum
On July 9, John Dreker brought the following oddity to my attention via Twitter.
@bensbiz @MiLB Erie's Guido Knudson threw 3 perfect innings tonight against Altoona and faced just seven batters #efficient
- John Dreker (@JohnDreker) July 10, 2014
There are very few ways in which this could happen; one is a triple play followed by two perfect innings. Knudson entered the ballgame in the bottom of the seventh inning with no outs and runners on first and second, and promptly induced a 9-3-6 triple play. From the game recap, written by MiLB.com's Ashley Marshall:
With both runners on the move on a hit-and-run, Altoona catcher Elias Diaz lined Knudson's 0-1 offering to right field. Detroit's No. 20 prospect Steven Moya, known more for his power bat than his defense, caught the slicing line drive and threw to Corey Jones at first base to double off Gamache. Jones then relayed the ball to shortstop Dixon Machado, who stepped on second to erase Hanson and complete the rare defensive gem.
That's Nuts
So which is rarer: a pitcher facing seven batters over three perfect innings, or a team hitting into two triple plays in the span of three games? That's just what the Modesto Nuts did last month, against Stockton on July 10 and Bakersfield on July 12. The first instance was as routine as triple plays get, with Dean Espy hitting into an around-the-horn 5-4-3 triple killing in the fourth inning. July 12 was a lot weirder, however. Bakersfield Blaze broadcaster Dan Besbris attempts to explain:
"Modesto put runners on first and third to start the [third inning], and Mike Tauchman hit a deep drive to center. Nick Benedetto raced back, slid and made a marvelous bobbling grab. Benedetto popped to his feet and fired to his cut-off man [second baseman Juan Perez], who in turn threw to [first baseman Harold Riggins] for a double play. Then, before the next pitch, the Blaze appealed to third, and the umpires confirmed the runner [Juan Ciriaco] had left early, leading to a rare triple play!"
Even Nuttier
The ignominy didn't end there for Modesto. During July 27's ballgame against the Inland Empire 66ers, five players each made an error in what was an extremely embarrassing fifth inning. The frame also featured a hit, two walks, a stolen base and two wild pitches, as Inland Empire scored four unearned runs en route to a 9-4 win. Once the inning finally ended, Mark Sappington came on to pitch for Inland Empire. This was fitting, since Sappington is a native of the town of Peculiar (Missouri).
2(c)(2)(b) or not 2(c)(2)(b)
The Albuquerque Isotopes enjoyed a dramatic come-from-behind victory in July 9's game against the El Paso Chihuahuas, capped by Brian Cavazos-Galvez's two-run walk-off double. Trouble is, the Isotopes ended up losing the game. On July 15, the Pacific Coast League invoked Major League Rule 2(c)(2)(b) and declared an "El Paso victory by way of forfeit."
For those not up on their arcane baseball rules, this rule stipulates that a Triple-A team's active roster cannot exceed 25 players. Examiner.com's Christopher Jackson has more:
"At issue was the July 9 activation of center fielder Joc Pederson from the disabled list. Initially, the Isotopes sent out a press release stating that outfielder Brian Cavazos-Galvez was going to the DL, but later rescinded that statement. Cavazos-Galvez actually ended up winning the game with a two-run double, and Pederson went 3-for-4, falling a home run shy of the cycle.
The PCL blamed the Los Angeles Dodgers, Albuquerque's affiliate, for the mistake. Apparently, the Dodgers thought that since right-hander Carlos Frias was suspended that he did not count against the 25-man roster limit. Though the game is now listed as a 9-0 El Paso victory, all individual and team statistics remain as is (Cavazos-Galvez will still be credited with his two-run double, for example). However, pitching records -- such as winning and losing pitcher -- have been erased."
DH? We don't need no stinking DH!
The aforementioned El Paso Chihuahuas played against the Sacramento River Cats on July 23, and since the River Cats are an American League affiliate, the Chihuahuas had the option of using a designated hitter. Pat Murphy elected to bat his pitcher anyway, since his pitcher was former Major League outfielder Jason Lane. The move paid off, as Lane went 3-for-3 with a home run. He is hitting .388 with the Chihuahuas this season, and .412 (7-for-17) as a pinch-hitter. Additionally, Murphy has used him twice in the outfield, making him one of three Chihuahua pitchers who have logged time in the outfield (Tony Sipp and Keyvius Sampson are the others).
Murphy's managerial maneuverings don't end there. In fact, they seem to never end. On July 29 against Las Vegas he executed four double-switches, and only one player in the starting line-up (second baseman Taylor Lindsey) ended the game at the position where he started it.
Left out
On July 28, Quad Cities left fielder Ronnie Mitchell managed to tag out Bowling Green's Alexander Simon -- at home plate!
Bowling Green broadcaster Andrew Kappes has diligently provided an account of this baffling putout, in which all parties involved appear -- with all due respect -- to not understand how to play the game of baseball.
With the count 1-1, the pitch barely got away from catcher Brian Holberton. Ridings broke for second base, but Simon stayed put, one step off the bag. Holberton elected to just walk (literally walk, not even run) at Ridings who was exactly halfway between second base and first. By the time Holberton had nearly reached him, Ridings broke back for first base, getting into a run-down. Simon continued to stay at second base, but drifted off the bag slightly as if to head towards third. Second baseman Dayne Parker missed the tag of Ridings, who fell to the ground about 10 feet from second base.
At that point, third base was completely uncovered, so Simon broke and won the foot race to the bag, as Ridings got up and advanced to second base. Simon stood up at third and noticed home plate was uncovered as well. Before time was called, he broke for it. Kevin Comer, the reliever who at this point had the baseball, flipped to Mitchell who chased down Simon. The tag was applied, and Simon was called out on what appeared to be a 50-50 play at home plate. The whole instance led to just one out and was scored 2-3-5-4-1-7.

My boyfriend and I are starting to do some cruising. While we are both experienced racers, we are less so when it comes to cruising. When we have cruised there were at least four peole on board, allowing us to rotate shifts. The first trip we plan is from Daytona Beach to Miami, which we aniticipate will take about three days. Our main concern is sleeping. What do you recommend? We were going to take naps during the day so that both of us could be awake at night. How would you suggest we handle this situation?
Mark Matthews responds:Thanks for the question. Staying up at night is probably one of the hardest things about offshore sailing. If its just the two of you on board, youre likely to develop your own informal watch-keeping system, regulated by your bodys ability to stay up. Ive found that two four-hour watches at night, followed by two three-hour watches in the wee hours of the morning is my preferred watch rotation while underway with just two people on board.
There are a number of combinations that might suit you and your crew better than my scheme. Also, keep in mind that having a way to pass the timewhile still keeping a good look outis always a benefit, so long as it isn't overly distracting. Some cruisers have small red lights they can use to read a book, glancing up every five minutes or so to keep a lookout while offshore. Others use books on tape, some drink tea, hot chocolate, listen or play musicwhatever works to keep them alert and avoid drifting off into zombie land.
Usually, your first night out is an exciting occasion and that alone has the potential to keep both of you up all night due to the mere novelty. But beware, if you do that, there's a strong likelihood that you'll both to drift off to sleep right before dawn. The obvious objective of any watchkeeping system is having part of the crew rest while the others tends to the ships needs. Should a ship be sighted or sail need to be changed or other on-deck chore require action, the other person should be woken up. They can help you confirm that course needs to be changed, the sail shortened, or whatever the case may be. And waking them up also keeps them apprised of on-deck developments. Unless you possess cat-like abilities when it comes to trapsing around on deck, youre likely to wake your crew up anyway, so you might as well keep them in the loop.
When Im cruising with my mate, we usually alternate taking naps for as little or as long as we can during the day, and then switch to a loosely-structured system at night. Its not always possible to sleep aboard a pitching boat or one that's hot down below, so if you find yourself tossing and turning in your bunk while your crewmate is drooping off into never-never land on the helm, its a good time to switch places. Sailing with only two on board puts the person on watch in the role of a single-hander, but with the benefit of a better lookout when its time to get some shuteye.
For additional information on this topic, Id refer you to several articles here on the SailNet site. John Rousmanieres The Art and Science of Standing Watch offers a description of several watch-keeping systems to help prevent fatigue and the errors in seamanship that it often produces. Also, Beth Leonard's Someone to Watch Over Me surveys active cruisers and the watch systems they use. You might also consider reading Sue and Larrys Overnight Passagemaking, which offers hands-on advice on how to pass safely and comfortably through the night. After that, take a look at my article, Avoiding Collisions at Sea, for some safety advice on keeping out of the way of commercial traffic.

Actress Kareena Kapoor is usually known to interact selectively with journalists, brushing aside all questions related to her personal life. However, looks like the tables have turned! The actress is set to play a journalist in Prakash Jha's Satyagraha. To make her character look as believable as possible, the makers of the film are bulding a state-of-the-art news studio for her in Bhopal.
Sources close to the unit reveal that Kareena's character keeps the others on the edge with her brilliant reporting and so, the film has a major newsroom rection. The film, where Amitabh Bachchan is reportedly playing the role of social activist Anna Hazare, will be shot predominantly in Bhopal and New Delhi. The newsroom set has been built in Bhopal, as if offers more space.

Klitschko KOs Chambers
By Karl Freitag
IBF/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (54-3, 48 KOs) scored a spectacular twelfth round KO over "Fast Eddie" Chambers (35-2, 18 KOs) on Saturday night before 51,000 at the Esprit Arena in Düsseldorf, Germany. Klitschko was dominant from the beginning. After Chambers body slammed Klitschko in round two, Klitschko rocked Chambers with a right hand. Punches were far and few between from Chambers who often went into "Clottey mode" as the champion broke him down.
Klitschko finally found the KO formula with just seconds left in the bout. An inspired Wladimir went after Chambers with everything he had in round twelve after trainer Emanuel Steward admonished him for not being more aggressive saying "You do not need to have another bullshit decision." Wladimir ended it with a brutal left hook that sent Chambers falling back into the ropes then pitching sideways onto his face. Referee Geno Rodriquez didn't bother to count as Chambers lay motionless draped over the bottom rope. Official time was 2:55.

Awesome Fathers Taking Roles (AFTR) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that educates fathers and male role models in the homes of children with special needs to enhance the family unit in special needs communities. The idea for the nonprofit was inspired when our founder, Mark Walker, was planning a 2012 dance for fathers with special needs children. As he was pulling together details for the event, he realized that many, families in the area are unaware of programs and resources that could greatly bolster their quality of life - so, we started AFTR.
Each year, we have the honor of hosting 150-200 special needs children and their fathers at "Dance with My Daddy." AFTR has been very fortunate to offer this event at no charge for the families, and we are happy to host the fifth annual dance on October 7, 2016 at The Colerain Community Center. The evening consists of music, games, a hot meal, warm memories and a lot of giveaways.
Join us in 2016 for the 5th Annual Dance With My Daddy (Father/Special Needs Child Dance) Cincinnati, OH.
The Dance will take place on Friday, October 7th, 2016 at The Colerain Community Center (4300 Springdale Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45251)

Even with eight years to go, the U.S. World Cup bid committee for 2018/2022 is still hard at work. On Tuesday, the list of possible host cities will be reduced from 27 to 18.
Tuesday's announcement is scheduled to take place at the ESPN Zone in Times Square. Below is the list of 27 cities that are vying for the 18 spots.
Cities: Washington, Tampa Bay, Seattle, St. Louis, San Francisco, Phoenix, San Diego, Philadelphia, Oakland, New York, Orlando, Nashville, Miami, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Indianapolis, Jacksonville, Houston, Detroit, Dallas, Denver, Cleveland, Chicago, Charlotte, Boston, Atlanta, Baltimore
The final 18 will be in line to serve as World Cup hosts, with major cities with MLS clubs — such as Washington, Seattle, Los Angeles and Chicago all likely to make the cut. The 18 remaining cities will be submitted as part of the final bid due by May 14, with a decision from FIFA expected in December.
What do you think about the latest list of cities? Which cities do you want to see stay? Which ones go?
Share your thoughts below.
Orlando is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the states, if Orlando is chosen it is a guranteed success. Everyone in orlando walk around wearing EPL shirts and Brazilian shirts at the malls, its crazy…. They do need to upgrade the citrus bowl though and with the sunrail coming in 2012 it would be ready for the world cup audience….
If 2018 goes to Europe (e.g England or the Spain/Portugal or Belgium/Holland bids) then the main competition will be between the USA and us Aussies. Here in Australia there is a lot of conflict between the soccer body (FFA) and the Australian Rules (AFL) and Rugby codes (NRL, ARU) because the bid requires using stadiums right in middle of AFL, NRL and ARU seasons. I'm curious – what would be the reaction of the NFL in the USA if the FIFA World Cup had to be held in February right in middle of an NFL season and NFL stadiums had to be used? You guys have benefit of the WC beinig out of NFL season, but just hypothetically…
Seattle will definitely be on the list of 18. They have 2 Sports Stadiums that will work for the world cup: Qwest Field and Husky Stadium.
well the WC would be in middle of the MLS season which won't be the problem since there will probably like they are doing this year a break in the season for the World Cup.

My guess for Eighteen Final Cities
2/San Francisco
12/New York
David Phillips
Detroit? Really?
For the 1994 World Cup, FIFA bent over backwards to allow the USA to host. Many of the stadiums that were used were not really designed for futbol/soccer, and even then Detroit's entry, the Pontiac Silverdome, had to have specially installed natural grass installed before it was considered a viable venue.
This time around I doubt that FIFA will look at things the same way. Stadiums will have to have natural grass, the fields will have to be the correct dimensions, be able to hold sizable number of fans, etc. At present Detroit does not have such a stadium.
Silverdome? Abandoned by the Lions, and would face the same problem that they had in 1994. Even with what they did in '94, the pitch/field was too small, really.
Ford Field? Crowd capacity, check, field dimensions, maybe, natural grass, ummm, well…
As a Metro Detroiter I'd love to see the World Cup come back to the USA, and Detroit to be one of the cities involved.
As a futbol fan, all I can say is no, not gonna happen. Even if all the other considerations come into place, there isn't a futbol specific stadium in the entire nation large enough to host the Final.
In 1994 the Rose Bowl was used, but, once again, that field isn't really designed for futbol.
No, if the USA really wants the World Cup held with in it's borders ever again the sport needs to be taken to by the American fans to the point where building a 75000+ futbol specific stadium wouldn't just leave the facility an under used hulk once the champion is crowned.
hahha think of how much money USSF will make from telling people the only way to apply for tix is to join their $50/year membership for the ability to just apply for tix!
BTW the list will be cut down further right? 18 cities sounds way too many. '02 did have 20 but most others varies from 10-12.
I think in the end six will be locks dc, ny, boston, orlando, dallas, la. I would then add one for north cali, one in mid west (kc or stL), one amongst det, chicago, indy, and maybe seattle.
Finals will be in the Rose Bowl @ 230 EST for our friends in Europe. Looking at a list of past finals, its usually a city with a lot of prestige, Dallas is no LA and NY-NJ just doesn't sound as good as LA neither mainly cuz of Jerzey =P.
San Diego (Qualcom Stadium) has good public transit access, easy freeway access from multiple angles, plenty of parking….
All of those are big upgrades of the LA options.
Probably just wishful thinking on my part but it San Diego would be a great WC option.
I just hope that the US gets to play in NY, if the US gets picked to host. Watching the US play in a WC in NY? oh man….
as for the final… I wouldn't be surprised if NY got the nod, but for some reason I have a feeling a surprise city (not LA or NY or DC) will get that game.
My 2 cents.
I doubt FIFA cares whether the stadium is a SSS as long as the field is to size, there is natural grass, the lines are painted the right way, and there is room for lots of fans.
Also, the US is the only candidate that can have almost every game in a 75k+ stadium without rebuilding or constructing something new. That means HUGE profits and more money on marketing and advertising and less on infrastructure.

Hawke's Bay basketballer Alonzo Burton will be fastening his seatbelt with the Manawatu Jets next season after failing to find traction with his home franchise.
"I'm young and I want to get better. The only way to get better is to be put in pressure situations," the 19-year-old guard of Napier is quoted as saying in a Jets statement.
The 2014 Bartercard National Basketball League season tips off early next year.
The former St John's College (Hastings) pupil has played two seasons for the Hawks, predominantly coming off the bench over that duration.
The Manawatu franchise has offered more court time to Burton who also finds the possibility of studying at Massey University in Palmerston North appetising.
However, the son of former Hawk NBL title-winning player and ex-assistant coach Willie Burton says it was a tough decision.
"I love Hawke's Bay. It was a really tough decision for me. I wanted to get out of home a little bit, get out of Hawke's Bay and become a little bit more independent," says Alonzo Burton, whose mother, Suzanne, has family in Palmerston North.
The senior Burton also plied his trade for the Jets and is the only basketballer to be awarded Manawatu Sportsperson of the year, in 1989. He also holds the NBL record of most games (360), including stints with the Jets from 1985-86, and 1989-90.
HBS Bank Hawks coach Tab Baldwin, who is scouting talent at the Fiba Oceania Pacific Championship in Porirua, yesterday said the franchise had had a rapport with Burton during its normal recruiting process.
"We only have so much in the budget so we did make him a great offer," said Baldwin of Burton, who is a New Zealand Breakers development player.
"He called and we talked ... about his playing role," he said, revealing a fortnight later Burton contacted him to say he had signed with the franchise on the other side of the gorge.
It isn't clear if the Jets offered Burton more money but court time appears to be a key factor.
"That remains to be seen. Theguys in Palmerston North have made promises. It'll be interesting to see if they keep it or not," said Baldwin, who felt it "unethical" for coaches at any level to make such offers.
"What if a player comes in and plays badly?
"What can you do? Sit him on the bench."
However, Baldwin had great confidence in Burton's ability to do well.
Hawks, he said, got court time based on their ability and loyalty to the team.
"We used him [Burton] as a promising player but we certainly didn't rely on him."
Baldwin, who was looking at Maori and Samoan players at the Oceania champs yesterday, said the Hawks' Kiwi roster would be filled before Christmas and then they'd look at wooing their imports.
The Jets have hailed Burton as their third major signing behind Jeremiah Trueman and Nick Horvath.
Last July, in the Hawks' 80-66 loss to the Jets, Burton made the starting five although the Final Fours hopes of the Hawks were long gone.
"I'm more than ready. Coach Tab has been good to me for the season. I love bringing impact off the bench but I also like to start," Burton had said after the game at the Pettigrew-Green Arena, Taradale, in Baldwin's maiden season with the Paora Winitana-captained Hawks.
Jets coach Darron Larsen labelled Burton "a great pick-up" for the Manawatu franchise.
"He is one of the best young players in the league and with a year in the Breakers organisation he will be even better. We expect big things from Alonzo this season.
"Signing Alonzo is a great story for basketball in our region. Like a lot of Jets fans, I grew up watching Willie play for the Jets in the late 80s. We are all about family here at the Jets so bringing a Burton back to the franchise is a great move," says Palmerston North-born Larsen, who was assistant Hawks coach under former NBL title-winning Shawn Dennis, of Australia, for a season.

Betty Zane HTML version
absence of ungentle lines in his face; the men, by the good nature, and that indefinable
something by which a man marks another as true steel.
He brought nothing with him from Fort Pitt except his horse, a black-coated, fine limbed
thoroughbred, which he frankly confessed was all he could call his own. When asking
Colonel Zane to give him a position in the garrison he said he was a Virginian and had
been educated in Philadelphia; that after his father died his mother married again, and
this, together with a natural love of adventure, had induced him to run away and seek
his fortune with the hardy pioneer and the cunning savage of the border. Beyond a few
months' service under General Clark he knew nothing of frontier life; but he was tired of
idleness; he was strong and not afraid of work, and he could learn. Colonel Zane, who
prided himself on his judgment of character, took a liking to the young man at once, and
giving him a rifle and accoutrements, told him the border needed young men of pluck
and fire, and that if he brought a strong hand and a willing heart he could surely find
fortune. Possibly if Alfred Clarke could have been told of the fate in store for him he
might have mounted his black steed and have placed miles between him and the
frontier village; but, as there were none to tell, he went cheerfully out to meet that fate.
On this is bright spring morning he patrolled the road leading along the edge of the
clearing, which was distant a quarter of a mile from the fort. He kept a keen eye on the
opposite side of the river, as he had been directed. From the upper end of the island,
almost straight across from where he stood, the river took a broad turn, which could not
be observed from the fort windows. The river was high from the recent rains and brush
heaps and logs and debris of all descriptions were floating down with the swift current.
Rabbits and other small animals, which had probably been surrounded on some island
and compelled to take to the brush or drown, crouched on floating logs and piles of
driftwood. Happening to glance down the road, Clarke saw a horse galloping in his
direction At first he thought it was a messenger for himself, but as it neared him he saw
that the horse was an Indian pony and the rider a young girl, whose long, black hair was
flying in the wind.
"Hello! I wonder what the deuce this is? Looks like an Indian girl," said Clarke to himself.
"She rides well, whoever she may be."
He stepped behind a clump of laurel bushes near the roadside and waited. Rapidly the
horse and rider approached him. When they were but a few paces distant he sprang out
and, as the pony shied and reared at sight of him, he clutched the bridle and pulled the
pony's head down. Looking up he encountered the astonished and bewildered gaze
from a pair of the prettiest dark eyes it had ever been his fortune, or misfortune, to look
Betty, for it was she, looked at the young man in amazement, while Alfred was even
more surprised and disconcerted. For a moment they looked at each other in silence.
But Betty, who was scarcely ever at a loss for words, presently found her voice.
"Well, sir! What does this mean?" she asked indignantly.

Brainerd School Board: Finance Commitee takes a look at moving the Paul Bunyan Educational Cooperative to the next stage
Acting as the fiscal host of the Paul Bunyan Educational Cooperative (PBEC) for the past five years, Director of Business Services Steve Lund said its time to take the co-op to the next level.
"After reviewing finances and services delivered in the (PBEC) organization, we wanted to see if this relationship (between the district and organization) was cost effective and effective to our students," said Lund. "And we came to the conclusion that it is both."
Lund presented to the finance committee Thursday afternoon a proposed agreement that would turn the PBEC into a formal special educational district. Presently there are six member school districts that make up the PBEC, including Aitkin, Pillager, Brainerd, Crosby/Ironton, Pequot Lakes, Pine River/Backus with Brainerd acting as the fiscal host in the group. The PBEC also provides services to Crosslake, Pillager and Montessori. The agreement would keep the Brainerd School District — the district with the majority of co-op students, accounting for 53.45 percent in the 2012-13 school year — as the fiscal host and would in turn be recognized by the state of Minnesota and federal education as a special education district.
Because of the larger share that Brainerd has in the co-op, board member Chris Robinson had some concerns about how that would affect the breakdown of collective net costs in comparison to the other school districts involved in the co-op. Lund agreed that it is a valid concern and will be further discussed and explained at the next school board meeting, Nov. 13.
Lund added that many of the same main points currently being carried out through the co-op would remain the same, "still capturing the continued cooperative intent."
One change to the current PBEC Lund said would be the requirement of a new board to be formed, along with an audit done separately from that of the Brainerd School District. Currently with Brainerd as the fiscal host of the PBEC the audit is done with the Brainerd School District's.
Lund said that they would like to move forward with the conversion to a formal educational district beginning January 2013, with a target of fully operating by July 1, 2013.
The proposed agreement will be brought to the board Nov. 13 for approval.
Lund also presented this fall's enrollment, comparing it to the projections.
This school year's fall count totaled 6,552 in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, a difference of three from the projected of 6,555. Lund said the biggest differences were between projected and actual numbers were seen in kindergarten, with a projected enrollment of 425 and an actual of 398. Those numbers were made up in grades 3 and 5 where there were more kids than projected. In third grade 492 students were counted for compared to the 476 projected and in fifth grade 505 compared to the projected 492.
"You know for a fact that we will wake up next year and have to plan," said Lund. "It's how we manage expenses and planning on how to balance our employees and if these trends stay as they are what that will mean."
Lund added that while historically the district has seen a slight decline in enrollment over the years, it's predicted that by 2015-16 and 2016-17 schools years they will even out.
The committee also heard a review of the district's most recent audit with auditor Tom Koop presenting the findings.
Overall, Koop said that in summary, the district received a clean and complete audit.

Women's Soccer Opens Up Pac-10 Play
October 6, 1998
LOS ANGELES - The USC women's soccer team (6-4-1), led by coach Jim Millinder and coming off two of its better efforts of the season, begins Pacific-10 Conference play this weekend with a road trip to the Washington schools. The Women of Troy visit Washington State (2-6-2) in Pullman, Wash., on Friday (Oct. 9) for a 3 p.m. match, then travel to Seattle to face Washington (4-5-1) on Sunday (Oct. 11) at noon.
NEWS & NOTES - USC is unranked this week after appearing as high as No. 19 in the preseason polls (Soccer Buzz) ... Soccer America chose the Nov. 1 USC-UCLA contest at the Coliseum as one of its top five games to watch this season ... Soccer Buzz chose Kim Clark as its preseason Pac-10 Player of the Year ... USC's 31 wins over the 1996 and 1997 seasons were more than any other Pac-10 team ... USC is coming off its best-ever season with a 16-3-1 record in 1997, and went 7-2 in the Pac-10 for second place.
OPPONENTS - Washington State (2-6-2) has lost its last four games. Sophomore forward Deka DeWitt leads the Pac-10 with 20 points (on 10 goals). The Women of Troy are 3-0 all-time against the Cougars, though this is their first trip to Pullman ... Washington (4-5-1 hosts UCLA on Friday) is led by sophomore midfielder Tami Bennett's eight points. Freshman forward Caroline Putz has seven points and senior midfielder (and former USC player) Erin Bailey has six points. The Women of Troy are 2-1 all-time against the Huskies and won 4-1 last season at the Coliseum. USC is 0-1 in Seattle.
LAST WEEK - USC bounced back from a pair of disappointing results to win twice convincingly last week. USC defeated Cal State Fullerton, 3-1, on Thursday (Oct. 1) and UC Irvine, 3-0, on Sunday (Oct. 4), with both games on the road. Isabelle Harvey had a goal and an assist in each game and Kim Clark had a goal in each contest. Shaelyn Fernandes made her first career start in goal against the Titans and had six saves and Karin Puccinelli made nine saves in the shutout against the Anteaters, including a block of a penalty shot in the final minutes.
NATIONAL TEAM NEWS - Assuming she keeps playing with the Canadian National Team, Isabelle Harvey will take part in the 1999 Women's World Cup, to be hosted next summer by the United States. Harvey, a native of Quebec, was part of the Canadian team that won the CONCACAF qualifying tournament in early September ... Susie Mora also still has a chance to play in the World Cup with Mexico (she was born in Santa Ana, Calif.; her parents were born in Mexico). The Mexicans finished second at the CONCACAF qualifying tournament and next face Argentina in a two-game series with a World Cup bid on the line ... Meghan Reppe was called up to the U.S. National B team in August but has not yet played in a game.
KIM CLARK - One of the top players in the nation, senior midfielder/forward Kim Clark (Cupertino/Monta Vista HS) is one of the focal points of USC's attack once again. A quick and creative player, she has 14 points (tied for first on USC and tied for fourth in the Pac-10) on six goals (first on USC and tied for fourth in the Pac-10) and two assists in 1998. She had two goals against Towson and a goal and an assist against Pepperdine. Her school-record 12-game scoring streak ended in the opener against San Diego State. She earned All-American third team status in 1997 and led the West Region with 17 assists. Kim also plays basketball for the Women of Troy (along with her twin sister, Kristin).
ISABELLE HARVEY - Sophomore midfielder/forward Isabelle Harvey (Quebec, Canada) is back at full strength after a serious knee injury. A player with outstanding technical skills, she has 14 points (tied for first on USC and tied for fourth in the Pac-10) on five goals (tied for seventh in the Pac-10) and four assists (tied for first on USC and tied for third in the Pac-10). She has three game-winning goals. Isabelle had two goals against Towson, two assists against Fresno State and a goal and an assist against both Cal State Fullerton and UC Irvine. She made the Soccer America Team of the Week for scoring the game-winner against No. 18 Baylor. After leading the Pac-10 in scoring as a 1996 freshman, Isabelle redshirted the 1997 season with a torn ACL. Now, she is again one of the region's (if not one of the country's) top players. She is also a member of the Canadian National Team.
COURTNEY BARHAM - Senior forward Courtney Barham (Olivenhain/San Dieguito HS), USC's career goals (32) and points (75) leader, is an excellent scorer who has six points (two goals and two assists) in 1998. She had a goal and an assist against Pepperdine. She is the Pac-10's top returning goal scorer with 14 in 1997. Barham, one of Troy's quickest players, made the All-West Region third team and All-Pac-10 first team last season. Courtney missed the last two games with a sprained ankle.
OFFENSIVE NOTES - After scoring only 11 goals through the first nine games, USC scored six goals in its last two games to raise its scoring average to 1.6 goals a game. That's still down from an average of 3.1 last season. Injuries, and at times a lack of production, have forced several changes in the lineup. In addition to Barham, Clark and Harvey, other key offensive players include sophomore midfielder Andrea Warner (Dana Point/Dana Hills HS), senior midfielder Carol Hatcher (Kapolei, HI/Kalani HS) and senior midfielder Erica De Vitis (Coto de Caza/Santa Margarita HS). Warner has five points, including two game-winning goals. Hatcher has four assists (tied for first on USC and tied for third in the Pac-10). De Vitis has a goal and two assists. Senior midfielder Karen Norgaard (Encinitas/University City HS), freshman midfielder Brittany Savelkoul (Seal Beach/Los Alamitos HS) and sophomore midfielder Ami Aylor (Lake Forest/Santa Margarita HS) have seen a solid amount of time as well.
DEFENSIVE NOTES - USC is giving up an average of 1.1 goals a game, a bit better than the 1.2 average of last season. The Women of Troy have five shutouts this season (they had six in 1997). The defense is anchored by senior Meghan Reppe (Orange/Villa Park HS), perhaps one of the quickest players in the nation and a 1997 All-West Region second teamer. She's joined in the starting lineup by junior sweeper Christina Kushnir (San Diego/Bishop's HS) and sophomore defensive midfielder Katie Ticehurst (Los Alamitos/Mater Dei HS). Sophomore Megan Orach (Huntington Beach/Marina HS) and freshman Erin Reed (Alamo/San Ramon Valley HS) are candidates to start at the other defender spot, with the other taking a more offensive role. Sophomore Susie Mora (Mission Viejo/Santa Margarita), a member of the Mexican National Team, is a key player off the bench.
GOALKEEPERS - Senior Karin Puccinelli (Cupertino/St. Francis HS) is the starter for now, but she is being pushed by talented freshman Shaelyn Fernandes (San Jose/Presentation HS). Puccinelli was a co-starter the last two years and she has a career record of 21-8-1. She is 5-4-1 in 1998 with a 1.119 goals-against average (third in the Pac-10) and 44 saves (fifth in the Pac-10). Fernandes has played in two games (a total of 135 minutes) and has eight saves and one goal allowed. She had a prep record of 78-4-5 and led her club team, the Central Valley Mercury, to the last three national championships.
HEAD COACH JIM MILLINDER - Now in his third season as USC's head coach, Jim Millinder has turned Troy into a budding national power. He has a three-year record of 37-12-2 (.745) with USC and a five-year overall mark of 45-39-6 (.533). A former U.S. National Team member who played in the 1982 World Cup, Millinder was named the 1997 West Region Coach of the Year and the 1996 Pac-10 Coach of the Year.
INJURIES - USC's sideline has looked like a M.A.S.H. unit at times this season. Freshman defender Kim Abbamonto (Mission Viejo/Capistrano Valley HS), one of the top prep recruits in Southern California, has yet to see action due to a hip and lower back problem and she will likely redshirt. Junior forward Kaylee Whitfield (Santa Ana/El Modena HS), attempting to come back from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee, tore the ACL in her left knee against San Diego State and was lost for the season. Courtney Barham was one of four players that left the Loyola Marymount game with injuries. The other three have since returned, but Barham missed the last two games after re-spraining an ankle. She is questionable for this weekend.
COACH MILLINDER SAYS - "Now that we're starting the Pac-10 season, we have to be more focused and determined than ever. We had two strong results last weekend and we need to carry that kind of effort into our conference matches. Every game is important and we must get off to a good start this weekend."

|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
UPDATE, 10/20/09: Lucic has surgery on broken finger, out 4-6 weeks.
Boston Bruins left-winger Milan Lucic missed Saturday night's 4-1 loss to the Phoenix Coyotes with what is believed to be a broken right index finger. His return to the bench is uncertain, but he is not expected to miss a significant amount of playing time.
Lucic, who signed a three-year contract extension at the beginning of this season, sustained the injury during the second period of Friday night's 3-0 victory over the Stars in Dallas when he landed a hit on Stephane Robidas. The left-wing returned to Boston immediately following the game in order to receive a full evaluation from the Bruins team of doctors.
"Right now, the severity of it, we're not 100 percent sure,'' head coach Claude Julien said to reporters. "We'll evaluate it with our own doctors once we get home. We'll probably have more news by the beginning of the week.''
The Bruins recalled Guillaume Lefebvre from the Providence Bruins to take Lucic's roster slot for the game. He skated on the fourth line with Steve Bégin and Shawn Thornton, recording two hits in just over 11 minutes of playing time.
Fortunately for Boston, their next game isn't until Wednesday, giving Lucic time to get a full prognosis and, hopefully, heal quickly. The injury could not come at a worse time, however, as the team is struggling and too inconsistent. Julien recently began mixing up the lines, moving Lucic from his normal first line slot to the second line, for example, but with a key component of the team missing, it will be nearly impossible for Julien to find the right line combination.
UPDATE: Lucic has been placed on the long-term injured reserve (LTIR), meaning that he will be unable to play for at least ten games and 24 calendar days.

Hot temps - and fishing hot spots
Well, here we are, in the heat of the summer. Our guides have been hoppin' and the fish have been biting — most days.
Bruce, Nick, Jon and myself and some of our fill-in guides are staying busy on our area lakes. Gull always seems to see the majority of our time, but the way Mille Lacs has been producing, it's hard not to mix in a trip or two over there as well.
As the water temperature starts to rise, it seems like all species increase their feeding activity. The weed edges on Gull, North Long and Whitefish are the place to be if you just want action. If you set a slip bobber rig at about 8 feet near the edge of the weeds and put a small hook with a chunk of leech or worm, will have non-stop action.
If you are looking for bigger fish, try a live bait rig tipped with a large red-tail chub or creek chub and you will get interest. Once again, work the edge of the weeds, preferably the wind-swept areas.
Also, I was swimming by the rock pile on Gull over the Fourth and the zebra mussels are thick — and sharp. I came up with a bloody palm.

It's a good thing that the Houston Dynamo has completed their season series with D.C. United because there is no telling what Canadian international midfielder Dwayne De Rosario would do to his former team.
As it is, De Rosario has become quite a headache and menace against his former clubs this season, connecting for six goals in those three matches. On July 9, De Rosario scored the lone goal of D.C.'s 1-0 defeat of the New York Red Bulls. On July 31, De Ro recorded a brace in United's 2-0 triumph at the San Jose Earthquakes.
And on Saturday night, De Rosario struck for a hat-trick in United's wild, 3-3 home draw with Toronto FC at RFK Stadium, despite D.C. playing with 10 men for virtually the entire Major League Soccer match after goalkeeper Bill Hamid was red carded in the seventh minute.

De Rosario's final goal, a penalty kick in the 88th minute, closed out one memorable match.
De Ro became the first MLS player to score for three different teams in the same season, also connecting for the Red Bulls and Toronto FC. Toronto traded him to the Red Bulls for midfielder Tony Tchani and defender-midfielder Danleigh Borman on April Fool's Day. Playing in the shadow of Thierry Henry, the Red Bulls and the world never saw the true De Rosario. So he was dealt to D.C. United for midfielder Dax McCarty on June 27.
Since then he has been the hottest player in the league, winning the MLS Player of the Week twice in the last fortnight.
"It was a good feeling to help my team get points," De Rosario said. "Whether it's against Toronto or not, that doesn't really matter to me. I try to play every game with the same mentality."
De Rosario has energized an attack that was lethargic the first three months of the season.
"Dwayne was unbelievable," United coach Ben Olsen said. "He's an absolute stud, a winner, and we're very happy he's here."
Obviously, Toronto wasn't.
"Dwayne has done well with any team he's played for, and he was able to prove it again today," Toronto midfielder Julian de Guzman said. "To some extent, we gave too much respect to him. A lot of the plays that were created from D.C. went through him and I don't think we were able to get enough players on him.
"He was able to prove himself again as one of the greatest players ever to play in MLS."
Two teenagers scored their first professional goals over weekend
Luis Gil, 17, scored the second goal for Real Salt Lake in its 3-0 victory over the struggling New York Red Bulls. Nat Borchers and Costa Rican National Team forward Alvaro Saborio struck against New York, which has a five-game winless streak.

In the New England Revolution's 3-2 defeat to Chivas USA, 16-year-old Diego Fagundez drew a penalty two minutes after his arrival as a second-half substitute and tallied in the 83rd minute. Grenada National Team and New England midfielder Shalrie Joseph converted a penalty kick. Venezuelan international striker Alejandro Moreno, back from recently completed Copa America, scored twice and Nick LaBrocca also netted for Chivas.
Pair of 14-game unbeaten streaks were snapped last week
On Wednesday, the Portland Timbers ended the Los Angeles Galaxy's streak behind a 3-0 victory as new addition Mike Chabala, Jorge Perlaza and Eric Bruner found the back of the net.
Sporting Kansas City saw its streak go by the wayside on Saturday as it lost a 1-0 lead late in the game. Mauro Rosales netted a goal in the 90th minute and Lamar Neagle added another two minutes into stoppage time to power the Seattle Sounders FC to a 2-1 victory. It was Kansas City's first loss since May 21. Four days earlier, Kansas City blanked Real Salt Lake at home, 2-0. El Salvadoran international Roger Espinoza, who was red carded later in the match, the hosts all the scoring they needed before Teal Bunbury added an insurance goal several minutes later.
Los Angelesbounce back to lengthen league lead
The Galaxy rebounded with a 3-1 home triumph over FC Dallas on Saturday. English international David Beckham set up all three goals - by Omar Gonzalez, Juninho and Mike Magee. LA moved six points ahead of Dallas in the Western Conference.

Alan Gordon struck for his first goal for the San Jose Earthquakes, which lifting the team into a 1-1 tie with the Timbers. U.S. international Kenny Cooper had given Portland the lead.
Former Mexican international midfielder Pavel Pardo scored in his Chicago Fire debut in a 1-1 tie with the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday. Philadelphia had taken the lead on Veljko Paunovic's 30-yard blast. On Sunday, however, Pardo could not perform more magic for the Fire, which went down to a 4-2 defeat at the Vancouver Whitecaps. Eric Hassli scored two goals and set up another and Gershon Koffie and Camilo added goals. Dominic Oduro and Orr Barouch made the score sheet for Chicago.
The Chicago match turned out to be the second time within four days that the Union lost the lead and settled for a 1-1 draw. Geoff Cameron scored in the 85th minute to boost the Houston Dynamo into a 1-1 deadlock. Jack McItnerney tallied his first goal of the season for Philadelphia.
Brian Mullan connected for his first goal of the season and Jamaican international striker Omar Cummings scored his third for the Colorado Rapids in their 2-0 win over the Columbus Crew.

On average, the price placed on love – that is, the amount intended to be spent on Valentine's Day – is $128.00 ($166 spent by men, and $90 spent by women), according to the Brand Keys bi-annual Customer Loyalty Engagement Index.
"More and more gifts are being exchanged between friends and family in the name of St. Valentine, and that's turned Valentine's Day into a major retail holiday," said Robert Passikoff, president of Brand Keys, Inc.
There are demographic differences in gift giving, according to the findings:
"Gift-giving will be slightly skewed this year as purchases of gift cards have nearly doubled now that they've replaced 'gift certificates' and have become a more-than-acceptable gift," said Passikoff.
"Valentine's Day has become gender-neutral in terms of how men and women think when it come to how they'll celebrate," noted Passikoff. "What they expect to actually do to celebrate doesn't seem to vary all that much."
About the data: The findings are part of the Brand Keys bi-annual Customer Loyalty Engagement Index. Brand Keys asked 1,200 men and 1,200 women (18-60 years of age) drawn from the nine Census regions what they were going to do, what they were going to buy and how they were going to celebrate Valentine's Day this year.

|Hi all,
does anybody know where i can get the bearings and seal for this unit?
I have read the posts re: this repair and understand that i can get the rear tub,
but if i'm going to take the time to tear the machine down that far, i'd rather take the extra time and save some $$$. I'm guessing i can find the bearings around here once i have them in my hand to match up, but that leaves me without a new seal.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

|thanks for the quick reply. However, I don't think i made myself clear, I found the
rear half of the tub. I'm looking for just the bearings and seal to repair the one i have. one of the threads I read showed the bearings and seal, but i can't seam to find the spot again. also, the thread was 3 years old, so they may not be available. tearing the machine down is going to be a pain, the savings over a new machine is borderline after spending $200 on parts and unimaginable amounts on beer to hold my attention. if i can get just the bearings and seal, i can probably afford the beer required to do the job. all the appliance parts places i've tried (sears, repairclinic, and the local outfit) carry the rear half of the tub only. i can probably find bearings (there are several suppliers around here) but i'm not sure i'll be able to re-use the seal.
thanks again

|Don't even think about trying to re-use the old seal, that's the reason you have bad bearings now, the seal failed!!!!!
If you can find those discussion that explain changing the bearings, you should be able to find some links to the seal also, all that have gone this route has gone to local and internet bearings dealers and have found the bearings and seals as stock sized bearings.
You won't find the bearings and seals from Frigidaire, there only fix is to replace the complete rear tub shell with bearing and seal.

Most restaurants pay between $1,500 and $3,000 (or more) upfront to purchase a pager system, not to mention about $100 each time an individual pager needs to be replaced after it "walks off," breaks, or is lost by a staff member with the best intentions. With Table's Ready, there is ZERO upfront cost, and you pay less than $70/month. We won't hook you in with a contract, and you don't pay a dime until you get to try it out.

I see this occasionally but not very often, are these guys just over performers and love a clean house? or what the heck are they doing?
I see this occasionally but not very often, are these guys just over performers and love a clean house? or what the heck are they doing?
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
I know the books call it the washboard dance, but even the experts can't say for sure what its all about, there are a few guesses though. I seem to see it in advance of a hive preparing to swarm, and also they will do it when there is not much yielding in the fields either because of a slowing honey flow, or bad weather that keeps them from flying much. Those are my observations, would be interesting hear others comments on it. John
According to The Encyclopedia of Beekeeping this behavior occurs on the inside of the hive also. Even though thge reason why is unknown it may be a type of cleaning behavior done by young bees. The description is of as many as 100 bees lined up on the front of a hive, heads oriented downward, second and third pairs of legs firmly planted, the front legs "stepping" forwards and back, and their mandibles sliding over the surface.
Yup, "Line Dancing". And most of the bee experts only recognize two Bee Dances. HA!
Hyperactive Obsesive Compulsive Bees?
Mark Berninghausen
I do know that especially this year I have noticed them doing it on my strongest hives only, so it very well could be that there are lots of young bees with nothing to do considering the lousy weather we have been having during the main flow. Also, these same hives are the only ones that have constructed some queen cells and tried to swarm on me. John
Hyperactive Obsessive Compulsive Bees, ha ya
there are lots of bees in this hive and the flow is just starting. I dont see this very often but I do see it from time to time. My first reaction is of a hygienic hive, but then I have never heard of this as being a marker for that trait
That back and fourth motion kind of mesmerizes me lol,
Ian Steppler >> Canadian Beekeeper's Blog
I have one hive doing this as well. Many of my hives are 'washboarding' the landing boards but only this one that covers the entire front with an eye catching, undulating rhythmic motion across the entire face of the hive.
We are at the beginning of our summer dearth.
Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted. - Emerson
Cool...washboarding behavior in bees.
Mine all do it, as soon as the flow slows down, and all that brood that emerges, sort of gets "bored" in the hive. The more populous the hive, the more bees will be on the front of the hive doing this washboarding thing. I would also think, that by being outside of the hive, they play into thermo regulating the hive. Love to watch them.

I have tested in box IE and Firefox which both produce the same results so its obviously a template issue. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have attached a couple of screenshots to illustrate.

|Does what it is suppose to do! Great price. But as the other comment, if you use the optional docking piece be aware that if you dont get it in the hole the first time, you make scuff the bottom of phone.
User: J M, Jan 13, 2015
|Already got it from shopBB and its awesome! sits the phone up perfect, even comes with an optional adapter. w/o the adapter you can use the podw/ your case on. with the adapter on, is for useing when the case is OFF.
|Cant use with phone protective case on
User: P.A. C, Jun 22, 2015
The design is on the right track for a great desktop charging stand - HOWEVER, the cradle was not designed to accommodate a phone with protective case. The phone and the case together are too large for the cradle. I do not want to remove my phones protective case every time I charge my phone.
I would love to see a re-engineering of this Sync Pod to accommodate the phone AND its protective case, and then I would highly recommend it!
|Be Careful
User: RJ J, Feb 9, 2015
|I received this a few days ago, and although I really love the design and it works very well, do not use it with the adapter. It put two scratches in the front of my phone where is sits. I keep my devices pristine and this is really bothering me.
