The 2016 Y'All Star Game
East vs. West (Frontier League)
UC Health Stadium-Florence, KY: This week was the annual All-Star Game for the Frontier League, nicely dubbed Y'All-Star Game this season due to it being held down here in Kentucky. This was our first game in Florence, and in my opinion, they have a nice little stadium.
When we entered, we were met with a barrage of mascots! We got to meet Big L from the Lexington Legends (South Atlantic League), Wild Thing from Washington (Frontier League), and, of course the lovely Rosie Red from Cincinnati!
We had great seats in the front row, and I'm glad we didn't sit behind the dugouts. It's my pet-peeve, and really the only negative about this ballpark is that the netting wraps all around the ends of each dugout, which doesn't give a great view of the game.
The Y'All-Star Game also had some guests, with Jake the Diamond Dog being the first. Other than being just a cute dog, he could fetch bats, balls, and brought the umps some water.
It started out as a pretty hot day, but as the game started we got a little cloud cover and a breeze that made it a perfect night for baseball. I tried to get some better photos while we still had sun-light, though.
And here is the second special act of the night, Myron Noodleman, who was absolutely hilarious!
And this is Y'All Star, the Florence Freedom mascot for this season. I think their mascot is usually an eagle, but he wasn't present at this game. Maybe they'll bring him back next season. Y'All Star is based on the famous water tower by the Florence Mall:
Here is Andrew Godbold, the Frontier League's home run derby champion from the night before, and a member of the Freedom:
In the game that was going on, the East was actually winning 3-1 for most of the game, until the West hit their stride in the seventh inning. Here's a quick video I did before the wheels fell off for the East.
But before I get to that, lets insert a selfie of Trevor and I. Like I said, we had really good seats:
It was a huge inning for the West, as they scored seven in the seventh, with help from the Evansville Otter's Nik Balog who hit a three-run blast to put his team in the lead.
We also got to see Scott Patterson, from our old team up in Michigan, the Traverse City Beach Bums:
The West added on a couple of more runs, and the East just couldn't get back into it. Sorry I don't have more names and stats for the game listed, but if you're interested you can read the full review from the Frontier League's website HERE. Below, the West celebrates their Y'All Star Game victory! FINAL: West 11, East 4.
And here is Balog receiving his Y'All Star MVP trophy:
This was simply a fun night, and I really enjoyed the show the Frontier League put on. They really didn't have anything exciting going on before the game, but they did make it into a three-day event. I could only get this night off work, so we missed out on the softball game vs. the Chicago Bandits and the home run derby the nights before. We're definitely planning another trip to Florence for a game. I'll leave you with a video of part of the fireworks show that I shot on our way to the car:

Back to the Beach (Bums)
Traverse City Beach Bums vs. Joliet Slammers (Frontier League)
Wuerfel Park-Traverse City, MI: While back visiting family in Michigan, we decided to take in a Beach Bums game, the defending Frontier League champions. It seemed like we brought some of the southern heat with us, as the temps were pushing the upper 80's, but the nice cool breeze off of Lake Michigan turned it into a perfect night for baseball. Brian remembered that the Slammers gave him a baseball last year, so he was actually rooting for the visitors.
The way the game started out, I thought it would be a high scoring affair, but then the pitchers settled in, and the game moved by pretty fast. At one point, 10 Beach Bum players were retired in a row. Lucky for TC, Jacob Lanning was on the mound, as he pitched a complete nine inning game for the win. He gave up only one run in the first inning, on seven hits, and he struck out two.
Also during the game, Brian was able to catch up with both Beach Bum mascots, Suntan and Sunburn. Be honest…doesn't it look like the red bear is flipping me off??!!
Anyway, the Beach Bums scored one run in the first inning on a Will Kengor RBI double that scored Jose Vargas. Then in the fifth inning, Jeff DeBlieux hit a double of his own, this time scoring two to put TC in the lead for good. It was good to be back in Michigan, if only for a few days, and I'm sure this isn't the end of us enjoying some games up here. We look forward to our next game in Kentucky, though! FINAL: Beach Bums 3, Slammers 1.

Michigan teams win Championships!
West Michigan Whitecaps-2015 Midwest League Champions
Monday night the Whitecaps held on to beat the Cedar Rapids Kernels 3-2 in a decisive game five to win the Midwest League crown. This is the teams first championship since 2007, but manager Andrew Graham won the title as a catcher for West Michigan back in 2004. The 'Caps split the first two games at home, getting shut out 5-0 in game one, and coming back with a 4-1 win in game two (the one that we were at). They dropped a heart-breaker in game three, when the Kernels earned a 3-2 walk-off win in the ninth inning. Never giving up, the Whitecaps held on to win game four 2-1 and game five 3-2, on the back of relief pitcher Joe Jimenez.
In the final game, Ross Seaton earned the win on the mound, holding the Kernels to only two runs. The Whitecaps scored their runs on RBI's by Francisco Contreras and David Gonzalez, while the third run was scored by Contreras on a wild pitch. Jimenez struck out the side on the ninth inning to secure the victory, and championship! As memorable as this season has been, we were lucky to get down to a handful of games to see the Whitecaps play. With Larry Parrish retiring in Toledo, I fully expect Andrew Graham to be promoted, unless the Tigers' organization brings in someone to take over just at the Triple-A level. I think he's done a great job with this team the last two seasons, and wouldn't mind him sticking around. Congrats again, to the Whitecaps! You can read more on their championship win on the Midwest League website HERE.
Traverse City Beach Bums-2015 Frontier League Champions
The Beach Bums defeated the River City Rascals by the score of 4-1 last Friday night to win the Frontier Cup. The Bums swept the Rascals 3-0 in the best of five series, and were 6-0 in the postseason. In the ten year history of the ball club in Traverse City, this was the second time making to the finals, being defeated by River City back in 2012. The Bums literally went from worst to first this season, winning a club record 56 games as they advanced to the palyoffs for the fourth time since 2010. Injuries plaqued last seasons team, including Frontier Cup MVP Jose Vargas. Vargas was also the hero of game two, with a walk-off base hit to give his team a 6-5 win, and complete the comeback when they were down 5-1. Manager Dan Rohn, a Central Michigan alumni, did a great job with the team this season, and I think the Beach Bums are lucky to have a veteran coach at this level. Congrats to the Beach Bums, and were at least able to make it to a couple of games this season, including the last weekend of the regular season that started their nine-game winning streak. You can read more on the Bums title win on the Frontier League website HERE and at the Record Eagle website HERE.

Worth The Wait?
Traverse City Beach Bums vs Frontier Greys (Frontier League)
Wuerfel Park- Traverse City, MI: On our way back north, we decided to pass through Traverse City to catch a Beach Bums game. It had been raining most of the day, so we got to the ballpark about 15 before the game when we made our decision to go. I guess all the other Bums fans had the same idea, as there was a huge line for tickets. In fact, they finally decided to open a second ticket window about 20 minutes after the game started. In all, we waited almost an hour and missed three innings of the game before we finally set down on the outfield lawn.
As you can see above, Trevor and I were just happy to be in the ballpark, while Brian decided to enjoy the game from the playground.
I strayed a little to get a few photos, but was called back when some a-hole kid threw sand in Brian's eyes. I don't know why the Bums insist on having sand in the playground. Something like shredded tire would be so much safer and cleaner. I understand the beach theme, but don't think it's as important as safety. Brian was fine, though, as Trevor took care of him. Life is a little easier with a big brother watching your back.
With missing a few innings and the playground drama, it hard to get invested in the game. This was a pretty good game, as TC took an early lead (that we missed), and the Greys stormed back to take a 3-2 lead.
They also had the Frontier Leagues championship trophy, the Frontier Cup, on display so that was pretty cool.
With the Bums down by a pair in the ninth, we took seats in the lounge chair section. The game finally got interesting when they tied it up at four on a double by Jake Rhodes.
The Bums would complete the comeback win with a walk-off in the tenth innin with Reggie Dawson's bunt scored Jay Austin. Lawson had two hits on the night, Austin two RBI's. On the mound Rob Blanc earned his first win as a Bum, while Bret Dahlson earned the save. Not the best night, but at least it ended on a good note. Still blessed to be at a ballgame with my kids. With the Bums, Whitecaps, and Lugnuts all in the playoffs, we hope to make it to one more game. Here's a video, too:
College Football-CMU vs OSU
Also over Labor Day weekend we caught some football, as the Central Michigan Chippewas hosted the Oklahoma State Cowboys in Mt. Pleasant. The Chips fell 22-13, but we had a fun night and at least it didn't rain during the game like it did all day.

Rain can't spoil a day at the Beach (Bums)
Traverse City Beach Bums vs. Joliet Slammers (Frontier League)
Wuerfel Park-Traverse City, MI: The summer of rain continues, but we didn't let it ruin our baseball fun over the weekend. Although it rained most of the weekend, the weather cleared up enough to take in our first Beach Bums game of the season. Our experience started off on a good note, as Brian got a game ball from the Joliet Slammers before the game even started. I guess it's good to make the right friends, as he was chatting with the guys in the bullpen.
Here's a video I took by mistake, as I thought that the photo mode was on the phone:
The game was a good one for the home team. The Bums scored three runs in the second inning, and never looked back on their way to victory. Offensively they were led by Jay Austin, who had four hits and was just a home run shy of hitting for the cycle. Jeff DeBlieux pitching in with a triple and 2 RBI's, while Jake Rhodes and Greg Harisis each had hits. In the fifth inning, Graham Ramos hit and RBI single, and then scored on a double by Yazy Arbelo. On the bump, pitcher Kramer Champlin threw seven strong innings for the win, allowing four hits and no runs. Final score: Beach Bums 5, Slammers 1.
This is also the first time I've seen a mascot fight break out…
After the game, Brian was able to run the bases of Wuerfel Park.
After he ran the bases, he met up with a couple of the Slammers players to thank them again for the baseball. He was going to stand in line for the Beach Bum autographs, but he was tired and we still had a long drive ahead of us. This was a fun game, and the impending rain kept it a very small crowd. We were lucky that the rain held off for us, and I'm hoping to get back to TC soon. It's a good ballpark to visit since one our way down state one way or another.
Here's another video from the game:

A fun day in Traverse City
Traverse City Beach Bums vs. Normal CornBelters (Frontier League)
Weurfel Park-Traverse City, MI: It was time for the kids and I to make a trip to Traverse City for some fun and baseball. We hit the Beach Bums game early, so the boys were able to search the outfield and found four baseballs from batting practice!
We still have some time before the game, so we were able to watch some warm-ups and the boys got to visit with their Nana. She doesn't make it to too many games anymore, so it was a special day to have her there.
The game itself was a good one for the home team Beach Bums. They got off to a good start, as Sean Gusrang hit a two-run homer to put the Bums up 2-0 in the first. The rally was continued by Yazy Arbelo, who doubled, and was hit home by a Jovan Rosa two-bagger. On the mound for TC, Alex Phillips earned the win, striking out three and only giving up six scattered hits. Final: Beach Bums 4, CornBelters 0.
After the game, Brian didn't feel like running the bases, but the boys lined up for autographs from the team. The Beach Bums give the kids a free team poster to get signed.
Pirates Cove
While in Traverse City, we also had time to visit one of our favorite summer hang outs, Pirates Cove. The kids and I took part in some go-cart races, bumper boats, and the water coaster. Sometimes I think we just have too much fun together, but feel lucky and blessed to have this time with my kids and family!

Wild Things, you make my heart sing
Washington Wild Things vs. Normal CornBelters (Frontier League)
Consol Energy Park-Washington, PA: After our trip to see some Cy Young stuff, we made our way to southern Pennsylvania to see the Washington Wild Things host the Normal CornBelters in Frontier League action. This is the first Frontier League ballpark we've been to outside of Traverse City. Consol Energy Park is a very nice ballpark to watch a game, also. The parking and entrance is in the right field area, so really no one was at the front of the stadium when the gates opened. I'm also glad that Wild Thing was at the front of the stadium, also, to let fans know that there was a game.
While exploring the ballpark, we had a nice surprise, in meeting actor Dwier Brown, who played John Kinsella (Kevin Costner's father) in the movie Field Of Dreams. Brown was at the ballpark selling his own book, If You Build It…, and signing copies for fans. We did buy a copy, and he was nice enough to sign it and get a photo with us. He also threw out the first pitch to start the game. In the time it's taken me to finally get this post up, I have read the book and it's very good. You don't even have to be a fan of the movie or baseball to enjoy it. He also thought it was pretty cool that we were at the Field of Dreams movie site a few years ago, too.
We still had plenty of time to watch the teams warm up, and take some photos of the ballpark. I did notice that Consol Energy Park has the same artificial surface as the Beach Bums' Wuerfel Park. The Wild Things also had a pre-game ceremony with members of the Make-A-Wish Foundation that was very nice. We got our shopping done, too, and I have to say Washington's merchandise is priced well. I got a pennant and a Wild Thing plush for Brian. The mascot, simply named Wild Thing, made his presence known, but we really didn't see him too much around the concourse during the game.
The game itself was another ugly one for the home team. Left fielder C.J. Beatty did have a nice night at the plate for the Wild Things, though, going 3-3 with three RBI's on two home runs. On the mound, Alex Kaminsky took the loss for the Wild Things, throwing five innings, and giving up five earned runs on eight hits. In all, though, Consol Energy Park is a nice place to watch a game, without a bad seat in the house. Final: Wild Things 4, CornBelters 9.
Here's another video from my YouTube channel from this game:

Manager change in Traverse City
Langbehn to Cleveland: Manager Gregg Langbehn has left the Beach Bums organization to take a job with the Cleveland Indians of Major League Baseball. He will be in charge of the new instant replay system in Cleveland, and report to the Indians' bench on what calls should be challenged. He's worked in organized baseball with the Houston Astros, but not at the major league level.
"It's an incredible opportunity and challenge to be in the big leagues and one that I couldn't pass up," Langbehn stated on the Beach Bums website. "I'm really excited about it."
Langbehn is the most successful manager in Beach Bums history, compiling a record of 267-212 in his five-year run with the club. He led the Bums to three playoff appearances including the Frontier League championship series in 2010. His 2012 season was one for the record books, as the Bums' 64 wins was the third most in league history, and the best record for the organization. He was named the 2012 Frontier League Manager of the Year, and managed the 2012 and 2013 East All-Star teams.
Team president and CEO Jason Wuerfel also stated on the Bums website: "I'm excited. Any time a player or one of our coaches moves on it's a real compliment to our organization and the area. We sincerely thank Gregg for the job he's done over the last five years and we part ways as friends."
Rohn promoted: With Langbehn leaving for Cleveland, this opened the door for bench coach Dan Rohn to take the helm of the Beach Bums. He started with TC in 2011 as a special assistant, then was promoted to bench coach in 2013. He is a native of Alpena, Michigan, and played ball down at Central Michigan University for the Chippewas. Rohn played in the pros for 13 seasons, including three in the majors. He began his minor league coaching career back in 1990 as hitting coach for the Triple-A Portland Beavers. Rohn went on to become a four-time MiLB Manager of the Year winner, in the Double-A Eastern League (2000), and the Triple-A Pacific Coast League (2001, 2004, and 2005). He worked in the bigs with the Seattle Mariners as an administrative coach, and last managed the Triple-A Las Vegas 51's of the PCL in 2010. This seems to be a great situation for both Rohn, and Traverse City.
"I'd really like to thank the Wuerfel family for the opportunity. I love the chance to work in the city that I live in," Rohn stated on their website. "We have a strong ball club coming in this year; I'm really looking forward to putting a winning team on the field."
It's by great coincidence that Rohn was residing in TC, and that his wife teaches at a nearby arts academy. Matt Pulley will return as the Bums hitting coach, but the rest of Rohn's staff has yet to be named. Jason Wuerfel seems very thankful that Rohn was available, also, as stated on the website.
"We are very fortunate to have a manager with his qualifications. There are a lot of good managers in this league but none with the experience Dan has. Dan will manage the team professionally on and off the field; the timing is perfect, we are just very fortunate."
Again, this seems like a win-win situation for all involved. We'd like to wish all the best to Langbehn in his new journey, and we'll be at Wuerfel Park cheering on Rohn and his Beach Bums whenever we get a chance this summer.

D-Backs purchase TC pitcher's contract
The Arizona Diamond Backs have purchased the contract of hurler Johnny Omahen from the Traverse City Beach Bums. In his first and only season of indepandant league baseball, Omahen went 8-9, with a 3.37 ERA in 21 starts. He also led the Traverse City squad in strike-outs with 78, only gave up two home runs, and his 115 innings pitched were a personal best. The right-hander was the second man in the Bums rotation, just behind Frontier League All-Star Scott Dunn. This will be Omahen's second stint in affiliated baseball, being drafted by the Miami Marlins in 2011 out of California State University San Marcos. His pro career started with the Gulf Coast League Marlins, then the Jupiter Hammerheads, going 4-1 with an impressive 1.94 ERA in 41.2 innings, while only surrendering one home run. He was released after a rough season with the Greensboro Grasshopper in 2012, where he went 1-5 with a 5.24 ERA. Miami's loss was the Beach Bums gain, however, and now the Diamond Backs. The Beach Bums COO Jason Wuerfel will miss Omahen in their rotation, but seems to wish him the best.
"While it's tough to lose a pitcher of Johnny's caliber," Wuerfel stated on the Beach Bums website, "we are pleased to see his ability recognized. He's a first class young man."
There's a chance we might see him in the Midwest League this season, with Arizona's affiliate the South Bend Silver Hawks. If we do, we'll certainly wish him our best.

Baseball Trip finalized for 2014
Next seasons' Baseball Trip will be a little later this time, in June instead of May. One of the reasons for the change, is that we wanted to hit the Midwest League All-Star game on June 17th in West Michigan. This should be a great experience as I've never been to an all-star game before. This will be the hardest game to get tickets for, so I really need to be on the ball when they go on sale. The next day takes us south to Columbus, OH to check out our first Clippers game. I've heard nothing but good things about the stadium and franchise, so it should be a game to remember. The day after is a double-header for us. We start out with the Toledo Mud Hens for a day game. We saw the Hens back in 2007, and look forward to another great time at Fifth-Third Field. After we see the Hens, we head east to see the Mahoning Valley Scrappers and our first New York-Penn League game. Travelling in the early spring usually prevents us from making these games, since they start their season in mid-June. We stay busy the next morning, hitting the big city of Cleveland to check out the Baseball Heritage Museum. I don't know much about this, so if anyone has been there any info would be appreciated. Next we enjoy more Midwest League action visiting the Lake County Captains in Eastlake, just east of Cleveland. Lake County and Bowling Green are the only two MWL teams I haven't visited yet, as they transferred from the South Atlantic League a few years ago.
The next stop on our journey should be interesting, visiting Canton, OH, and just south of that the Temperance Tavern and Cy Young Museum. Again, I don't have much info on this, so if anyone has visited there I'd appreciate your input. That's just one stop on our way to Washington, PA to see the Wild Things in Frontier League action. Washington is an independent team, but it look like they have a nice stadium. The town was just awarded a pro softball franchise called the Revolution, too, so that's something else to look into. The next morning, we travel north to see the Detroit Tigers' Double-A affiliate, the Erie Seawolves. This is another team I've wanted to see for some time, and look forward to checking out some of the Tigers' prospects. Another double-header for us, we go a little farther east to check out our second New York-Penn League team in the Jamestown Jammers. And..our trip concludes with the newly dubbed Akron RubberDucks. This should be a fun adventure if the weather holds, and it should be better in June. If anyone has been to this region and can recommend any other points of interest or eating establishments, I'd love to hear about them.

At 28 Elena Baltacha is hardly a veteran, but nor would you consider that an age at which to reinvent yourself as a player. As the US Open got under way here yesterday, however, she was preparing to unveil her new game on a Grand Slam stage for the first time. Exit Baltacha the baseline ball-cruncher, enter Baltacha the creative shot-maker.
The world No 58, who will meet America's Jamie Hampton in the first round, has enjoyed an Indian summer to her career after breaking into the world's top 100 for the first time less than two years ago. She believes it is never too late to learn. Having transformed her fortunes after teaming up with Nino Severino, a former kick-boxing coach, she has now changed her game style in the belief that she needs a different approach if she is to make further progress.
The match that altered Baltacha's thinking was her defeat to China's Shuai Peng at Wimbledon this summer. There was no shame in losing 7-5 in the final set to the then world No 20, but it confirmed the Briton's fears that she could no longer match the power of many of the game's younger players.
When Baltacha made her Grand Slam tournament debut at Wimbledon 10 years ago she was regarded as a big hitter, but the latest generation of players has taken the power game to new levels. Meanwhile Baltacha has had to modify her service action following back surgery.
"I used to think that I had a big serve," Baltacha said. "My fastest serves were 120mph. Now I'm serving at 108, 110. The girls are stronger and faster, they hit the ball harder.
"After Wimbledon the biggest thing I realised was that I couldn't quite go through Peng. I needed to build my game, to get more variety in it, because I'm not the biggest hitter. I'm not a [Petra] Kvitova or a [Julia] Görges. I won't be able to hurt girls going through them, especially now the girls all hit the ball so hard.
"For me to go to the next level, my game has to change. I realised after Wimbledon that it had only got me so far and I needed something different in my game. Now I'm using the slice much more, messing up the rhythm. I've been looking at my serve a lot – when to throw in the kickers and trying to disguise the serve as well.
"I'm not saying that I'm going to completely change my game, that I'm chipping and coming in and all that, but I think I have to adapt, so it's not just bang, bang, bang, bang, because I don't know what else to do. My game is always going to be my game, where I'm trying to be aggressive, but at the same time I'll try to mix it up."
The change was not easy at first, but by the time Baltacha arrived in Dallas last week she was playing with renewed confidence. She dropped only three games in beating the Czech Republic's Barbora Zahlavova Strycova before recording one of the best wins of her career against Görges, the world No 21. She eventually lost to France's Aravane Rezai in the quarter-finals.
"Last week was the first week that I felt really comfortable," Baltacha said. "In my win against Strycova I felt like I was in control the whole time, like I was two shots ahead of her. I've never felt like that before. To me, that was really exciting."
The victory over Görges, one of the game's emerging talents, also showed the value of playing a more varied style. "Sometimes when you play a hard hitter, they want the ball to come hard to them," Baltacha said. "When you throw in a kicker they have to generate their own pace, I found that myself. I preferred playing players who had pace whereas if someone is spinning you this way and chipping you that way, it's more difficult."
Baltacha has talked in the past about retiring next year, but with her continuing success she is not so sure. "I've given myself a target to get to the Olympics, but it all depends on how I'm feeling," she said. "If I feel like I'm improving then I'll carry on. There's no doubt. And if I still love it then I'll keep doing it."

It was thought to be just a blip. It ended up being a sign of things to come, one of the big reasons Georgia fell in its next four games.
The young Bulldog secondary has proven to be a weakness in Grantham's first year. Georgia ranks last in the SEC in pass defense efficiency, a stat that measures an opponents' completion percentage, passing yards and touchdowns.
The Bulldogs are eighth in opponents' passing yards per game, and seventh in third-down defense.
But it's the glaring conversions that stand out.
"If you look at all the games those explosive plays is what's killing us on defense," Grantham said.
Last week, Colorado's second touchdown was set up by a 35-yard pass down to the 1.
When Georgia took a 24-14 lead in Boulder, the Buffaloes got a 65-yard rush – an option run to the left - that set up a touchdown. Late in the game, Colorado converted a third-and-13 from its own 28, when Rodney Stewart was wide open in the flat.
At Mississippi State, there was a 33-yard touchdown pass to make it 17-6.
The Arkansas game saw a bunch of big plays at the end of each half. While South Carolina did most of its damage by running up the middle, there were also some key third down passes.
Grantham didn't want to pin all the blame on the secondary, saying big plays result from breakdown in all areas, even the front.
"I think it's a combination of youth, newness to the system," Grantham said. "I think it's a combination of that. I wouldn't say it's just one thing, one person."
Cornerback Brandon Boykin said the answer was simple.
"Everybody being focused on what they gotta do each and every play," Boykin said. "I know that you're out there 50, 60 snaps a game, you kind of get tired and mentally tired. And the one time you do that's when you give up a big play."
Safety Bacarri Rambo has been on the receiving end of some of Grantham's ire. As a unit, Rambo thinks players have critical mental errors that cause the breakdowns.
"We've got a mental weakness. Everybody's got to get their mind right," Rambo said. "Start focusing on your gameplan and do your job. That's what coach Grantham has been emphasizing."
Perhaps the secondary's trouble should have been anticipated. It is a very young group, with Rambo the most experienced safety being just a sophomore. Cornerback Vance Cuff is a senior, but he's an excepetion.
"Unfortunately you don't have time for growing pains," said secondary coach Scott Lakatos, who is also in first year at Georgia. "That's the hard part. The other team doesn't care how young your secondary is, they're gonna run their offense, and you've gotta stop them. That's certainly not an excuse for the way we're playing, we've just gotta get better."
Georgia has been rotating three players at safety: Rambo, Jakar Hamilton and Shawn Williams. Don't look for a change in that setup: Alec Ogletree has potential but is still a freshman, and junior Nick Williams has been playing a hybrid linebacker-safety spot when the team switches to a 4-2-5.
"I don't know who else we could stick in there at this point in time," Lakatos said. "They all have their plusses and minuses. The key is to make sure that the minuses don't get exposed."
The cornerback situation is seeing some changes, but mainly due to Branden Smith's concussion. Boykin and Vance Cuff are the top two, while Sanders Commings, Jordan Love and freshman Derek Owens are seeing more work.
But the coaches say the effort is there, at least off the field. Boykin was in the film room on Sunday, while some teammates were catching up on sleep after the plane ride back from Colorado.
Rambo has started tackling the way they want to tackle, and come in to watch extra film.
"There's a guy that I kind of got on early in the year," Grantham said. "But I've seen him progress to do things more the way we want them to be done."

text: We bought our house in 1979 for $65,000. 3 story farmhouse style. Excellent neighborhood. Over the years we scrimped and saved to raise our family. The house only got things that we absolutely needed - storm windows, roof, new appliance here and there. My husband retired last year (he's 70) - I'm still working. Our house needs help (for example - every downstairs window (they are big - 82" long) must be propped open with a big dowel and some are very unstable / we only have 1.5 bathrooms - how did we raise 4 kids / we never put in central air - high ceilings and big trees help, or so we told ourselves). We paid off the mortgage long ago, and have no debts. Part of me feels that we should fix it up regardless of whether we decide to stay or downsize - because we would get more money for it. The other part says - you've lived like this for 35 years - better leave things alone! I was wondering if we could get a home inspection first that would point out the major issues that we really should fix regardless of whether we sell or stay. Any suggestions??

Aliens put faith in the cream of Kiwi youth
Former champions Aliens have put the accent on youth as they attempt to win the GFI HKFC Tens for the first time since 2005. The perennial Kiwi contenders, third seeds this year, have included three promising schoolboys in their squad on the recommendation of New Zealand great Eric Rush.
The trio - Ashton Tuck, Billy James Ropira and Kimami Sitauti - will strut their stuff when the two-day tournament kicks off at Hong Kong Football Club today.
'Eric Rush has told me these guys can be future All Blacks,' said Aliens coach Willie Los'e. 'I can only follow the advice of a great player like Eric, put my trust in them and let them show their skills. I don't think these guys will disappoint anyone. They've got tremendous attitude and they're great ambassadors for the sport.'
Los'e is particularly excited by Sitauti, just 16 years old and a pupil at the prestigious Mount Albert Grammar School in Auckland.
'Eric told me he wanted to take Kimami to play at the national sevens, but he was six months too young at the time, so he recommended we bring him to Hong Kong,' said Los'e. 'Having seen him in training, I can't wait to see him play.'
Second-seeded Penguins are back at the Tens a year after reaching the Cup final on their first appearance in the tournament. The elite UK-based touring team have brought a powerful squad that includes two IRB Sevens record holders.
Amasio Valence is New Zealand's most prolific scorer in IRB Sevens history with 1,124 points, while Fiji's Saula Rabaka holds the record for the most individual points in a game - 32 in a 71-0 win over Malaysia in Shanghai in 2001.
Fortis New Zealand Metro - champions for the past two years - are top seeds for this year's tournament. Their line-up includes Tonga's Rugby World Cup captain, Nili Latu. In all, 16 teams from around the world will be going for glory in the Cup, Plate, Bowl and Shield at the Tens.
Pool matches take place today, starting at 11am, while tomorrow will see the knockout rounds being played.
Fans can gain admission by purchasing two-day tickets, costing HK$200 each, at Hong Kong Football Club.

text: Native American Stereotypes and Realities Introduction to Native American Cultures Religious Studies 283 A Stereotype and Reality Indians are all alike. In American alone, there are approximately 2,752,158 Indians, belonging to 562 culturally distinct federally recognized tribes or additional 200 or so unrecognized tribes. They live in a variety of environments, either on 286 US reservations, or off reservation in rural areas or cities. 2000 U.S. Census Report Stereotype and Reality Indians were conquered because they were inferior. Indians were conquered because of their lack of immunity to European diseases as well as other factors—none of which reflected cultural or genetic inferiority. Stereotype and Reality If Indians had united, they could have prevented the European invasion. Tribes were too different culturally and lived too far apart to fight together as a cohesive unit. Further, there was no singular event known as the "European Invasion." European migration occurred over a period of 500 years (and counting) Stereotype and Reality Indians had no civilization until Europeans brought it to them. Indians were civilized. Their cultures were different from those of Europeans—and in some ways more advanced (e.g.; agriculture, medicine, architecture) Stereotype and Reality Indians arrived in this hemisphere via the Siberian Land Bridge. Indians believe that they were created in this hemisphere. "Siberian Land Bridge" myth viewed as a racist Anglo-European construction to impose Asian stereotypes on Native persons and to dismiss cosmological myth of Native communities as mere fictions. Stereotype and Reality Indians were warlike and treacherous. Indians fought to defend their lands, sovereignty and way of life from invaders, both domestic and international. In this regard, one would be hard pressed to describe Native Americans as either more or less violent than other human collectivities. Stereotype and Reality Indians had nothing to contribute to Europeans or to the growth of America. The contributions of American Indians have changed and enriched the world. 15% of the "first settlers" from Spain, France and England actually became part of native communities. Further, the "new settlers" would have probably died the first winter without assistance from Natives. Stereotype and Reality Indians did not value or empower women. Indian women often wielded considerable power within their tribes. (Gender and sexuality often viewed differently than Anglo-Europeans; often based on something other than productive/reproductive roles) Stereotype and Reality lndians have no religion. Indians are deeply religious. Each tribe has its own religion. There is not such thing as the "Native American Religion." Again, a destructive stereotype promoted by oftentimes well-meaning Anglos who wish to legitimize their own ecological and political positions at the expense of other human beings. Stereotype and Reality Indians welcome outsiders to study and participate in their religious ceremonies. Indians often practice their religions secretly and want outsiders to respect their desire for privacy. What possible motivation would indigenous persons have to "share" with an outsider? Most persons who proclaim such "adoption" narratives, sadly, fabricate their experiences. Stereotype and Reality Indians are a vanished race. Again, another racist myth generated in the early 19th century: Native Americans began to "vanish" because of their evolutionary inferiority to the "White Man." Could it have anything to do with massive genocide? Currently, there are 2.7 million United States Indians today, representing more than 562 federally recognized tribes and over 200 nonrecognized traditions. Stereotype and Reality Indians are confined to reservations, live in tipis, wear braids, and ride horses. A handful may live in tipis for part of the year because they want to, but tipis are not the norm. The Native American Church use tipis for religious ceremonies. And while some Indians do use horses to herd cattle and sheep, or ride for recreation, most Indians do not own horses. Stereotype and Reality Indians are confined to reservations, live in tipis, wear braids, and ride horses. There are approximately 950,000 Indians and non-Indians living on 286 reservations. A good number of Indians, at least one million, do not live on a reservation and never have. Today, some individuals on reservations live in houses of different sizes with all the amenities of modern living while others live in poverty. Stereotype and Reality Indians have no reason to be unpatriotic. Most American patriotism is the celebration of Euro-American history and interest. EuroAmericans' behavior and policies towards Indians have been brutal throughout American history. Stereotype and Reality Indians have no reason to be unpatriotic. This said, Native Americans have fought in every Anglo-American since the American Revolutionary War. More than 12,000 American Indians served in the United States military in World War I. More than 44,000 American Indians served with distinction between 1941 and 1945 in both European and Pacific theaters of war while 4,000 served in Desert Storm. One in four Indian males are veterans. Stereotype and Reality Indians get a free ride from the government. The benefits Indians receive from the government derive from treaty agreements, which purport to compensate them for the surrender of some or all of their lands. An examination of these documents—and the United States' lack of adherence to many of these treaties—stands as a major area of contention. Stereotype and Reality Indians' affairs are managed for them by the B.I.A. (Bureau of Indian Affairs) Each tribe has its own governmental structure possessing a variety of self-governing powers. The Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) responsibility is the administration and management of 55.7 million acres of land held in trust by the United States for American Indians, Indian tribes, and Alaska Natives. Stereotype and Reality Indians' affairs are managed for them by the B.I.A. (Bureau of Indian Affairs) There are 562 federal recognized tribal governments in the United States. Developing forestlands, leasing assets on these lands, directing agricultural programs, protecting water and land rights, developing and maintaining infrastructure and economic development are all part of the agency's responsibility. In addition, the Bureau of Indian Affairs provides education services to approximately 48,000 Indian students. Stereotype and Reality Indians are not capable of completing school. Hundreds of Indians graduate from universities every year. Stereotype and Reality Indians cannot vote or hold office. Indians represent a powerful voting bloc in elections; numerous Indians hold tribal, state and national offices. The Native electorate rises above 5% in Districts 1 and 7 in Nevada; Districts 1,2, and 3 in New Mexico; Districts 2, 3, and 4 in Oklahoma; and in the At Large Districts in South Dakota, Montana, North Dakota and Alaska. In selected districts, eligible American Indian voters account for more than 20% of the voting population, making them a valuable asset as a voting bloc to politicians in the area. Stereotype and Reality Indians have a tendency toward alcoholism. Indians are no more predisposed to alcoholism than members of any other ethnic group. Alcoholic consumption may have a greater positive correlation to joblessness, poverty and poor living conditions than ethnicity. Stereotype and Reality "My great grandmother was a Cherokee Princess." So wrong on so many counts. Cherokees have never functioned as a monarchy, so no royalty. When was the last time you heard, "My great grandfather was a Cherokee Prince?" Never. Stereotype and Reality "My great grandmother was a Cherokee Princess." Probably this myth generated when Anglos overheard men calling their wives, daughters and lovers a term of endearment that vaguely translates into English as "Princess." Actually this phrase quite the joke among Native Americans (just not Cherokee). Perhaps—in the kindest of terms—such claims by Anglos represent a combination of historical White guilt and a disenfranchisement with ones own life within dominant culture. Stereotype and Reality Indians are all full bloods or "I am 1/8 Cherokee" The majority of Indians—like most human collectivities—are mixed blood. Few communities in the world practice tribal or linear endogamy (to marry as close to the blood line as possible). Again, the stereotype appears clearly: how many Cherokee announce "I am 1/8 Anglo?" Stereotype and Reality Indians are all full bloods or "I am 1/8 Cherokee" Further, how much "blood" does it take to be considered "Native American?" Recent court cases have rules such measures non-scientific and meaningless. Whatever it means to be "Native American" [and "Anglo" for that matter] must be based on something other than these mythological "mixes." Stereotype and Reality All Indians have an "Indian name." Most Indians have only a Euro-American name; a minority of Indians also have "Indian names"; their name pronounced in their indigenous language. Stereotype and Reality Indians know the histories, languages, and cultural aspects of their own tribe and all other tribes. Few Indians know all cultural aspects of their own tribe, much less those of the other 561 officially recognized tribes and 200 nonrecognized communities. 19-20th century practices of genocide and assimilation has destroyed much of these cultures. Stereotype and Reality Indians are stoic and have no sense of humor. Indians are as endowed with as rich a sense of humor as anyone else—probably more. Stereotype and Reality Indians like having their picture taken. Indians find photographers intrusive. How would you like somebody shove a video camera in your face—or the faces of your offspring— make sounds of "Ah" and "Oooh" and behave as if they had just recorded the missing link of humankind? Worse still: persons who want to have their picture taken with "Indians." Stereotype and Reality This presentation adapted from American Indians: Stereotypes and Realities by Devon Mihesuah, 1996, Clarity Press.

Leeds-born, London-based indie pop outfit To Kill a King formed in 2009 around the talents of Ralph Pelleymounter, Ian Dudfield, Josh Platman, John Willoughby, and Ben Jackson. Steeped in both the rural folk aesthetic of Mumford & Sons and Laura Marling, and the orchestral arena rock leanings of Frightened Rabbit and the National, the band inked a deal with the Communion label and released its first single, Fictional State, in May 2011 followed six months later by the EP My Crooked Saint. With continuous tours throughout the U.K. and support slots for the likes of the Flaming Lips and Bastille, it wasn't until 2013 that the group self-released their debut album, Cannibals with Cutlery, after parting ways with Communion. In August 2013 the band signed a new deal with Xtra Mile Recordings, who reissued their debut album with four extra tracks. To Kill a King continued to tour rigorously but original members Ian Dudfield and John Willoughby parted company with the group at the end of 2013, replaced by Grant McNeill and Joshua Taffel. ~ James Christopher Monger & Rich Wilson

What the...?!
Well, I have been giving all of you the basics of what is going on, so I'll tell you what happened recently...
I was flying around in my graceful Goliath, shooting aliens as usual, when all of a sudden ONE clan came out of nowhere! Even though it's a shocker when it happens, you get used to all of the "illegals" flying in space. You wanna know what ONE clan does? Hehe...it aint pretty.
They cloak up, jump to a certain map, and use all the illegal gear to kill everyone in J.I.M. And when they do come up on you, shooting you down, you might as well not fire you back because you are as good as toast.
Don't get me wrong, I looove toast, but not this kind. It's the kind that says, "You just got owned!" Arrogant losers ONE clan. ONE clan comes from company Earth Shipping Corporation. Everyone fears them. Not one single pilot can fairly square off against one of the ONE clan members.
If you're curious about WHY not to fight a ONE clan member, I have just the satisfaction to your curiosities.
If you fire on them, their health is only like...1% there, no shields, and they kill you in 4 shots. No joke.
My heart burns with a passion to prove to the Inter-Galactic Police that they're a bunch of illegals, but none of them listen, because the ONE clan are huge payouts during Mega Happy Hour.
What is Mega Happy Hour? It comes once a week during the weekend to allow pilots to stock up on Platunium and other sorts of things. Best buy Platunium since you get triple for just one price. Nice eh?
Went out to kill a few aliens and possibly some non fully- equipped fliers in Earth's lower maps when all of a sudden...
A J.I.M. flier was being attacked! I jumped right in with what little of the most precious ammo's I had left. Only to discover that the J.I.M. and I had a problem with our weapons systems. Absolutely nothing was firing out of our ships, but only for about 10 seconds...and then we got blown up.
Back in the 3-1 base, my ship was repairing very peacefully..slowly, but peacefully.
I head up to our 3-4 map only to be shot on by the same J.I.M. pilot that I tried to help. He kept on firing, and I just let him fire on me and I jumped though the port back to 3-2.
I jumped back in to 3-4 to head up to the 4-3 b-map, the sucker popped me again!!
And so, to save me time, effort, and disgrace, I use a jump chip to get me up to 3-7 no sweat, right? ONE clan can't get enough killing J.I.M.
I was destroyed again. And so I repped up and set out again, this time from 3-8 base in the upper maps. If you're level 12 or over, if you're destroyed in the upper maps, you're sent to the base of the upper maps.
And so I made it to 3-7, only to hear the chaos that ONE clan is causing in 3-6. I shut down the primitive type-to-chat system to block out the pain that I am even feeling about how helpless J.I.M. is. I began to mindlessly kill the aliens in 3-7, the Big Scillions, and the little Scilliens..and then all of a sudden, I looked to my ship's status screen to only see that my ship took 40k (40,000) damage!
What kind of alien did I lock on to??!?

Lessons, Suspicion. (Peder)
"When I strike at your feet, jump then strike at me. Got it?" Drake instructed. We'd been doing several new moves I'd never done but seen before. It looked hard, but it wasn't.
"Ok, I'm ready." I got into fighting stance and Drake did the same across from me. When he struck, I jumped over his sword and struck at him. I got one nick into his armor before he parried and made me back up.
"Nice!" Destiny called from the sidelines. "Let's see you do it again!"
"Alright!" I managed to swing around so Drake could strike. When he did, I jumped and we repeated what we did before.
"Alright. Looks like you got that down." Drake pulled his helmet off and wiped the sweat off his brow. I swallowed and noticed I was panting.
"Wow. I didn't even notice getting tired."
"That'll happen. Get over here and get some water. You two together are going to make a lake!" Destiny set aside her sewing into her saddlebag. For once she was using a saddle on Moonlight. Reaching into the saddlebag on the other side, she pulled out a canteen with water in it. "Here, drink your fill." She handed it to me then pulled out another one. Instead of handing it to Drake, she first dumped some on his head.
"Very nice. Can I have it now?" Drake took it from her and drank some.
"Think you two have done enough yet?" Destiny raised her eyebrows.
"Yeah. We can do some more tomorrow." Drake answered and pulled himself onto Blazer.
"Alright." I answered and handed my canteen to Destiny before pulling myself onto my own horse.
Later that day after dinner, Destiny went to bed suspiciously early. Drake looked troubled.
"What's up?" I asked him as I sat down on the couch.
"Destiny's worrying me."
"She going to bed early, and she took a lasso with her."
"I don't know!" Drake stood up. "I'm going to think about it while I try to go to sleep. Good night."
"Good night." I stood up and went to bed as well.

A very happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year to all my Karlswood staff, my owners, my sponsors, my supporters - and of course let's not forget my wonderful horses!
I'm delighted to have won the International Showjumper of the Year award which was presented at the Showjumpers Awards Ball tonight in Kildare.
I feel so fortunate to have a top class team of people behind me and great horses and owners without whom my successes would not be possible.
Unfortunately as I'm jumping in Geneva this weekend I could not attend tonight's awards.
Below is my summary of key results during 2016 which I think helped to clinch the award:
• Two top placings in 5 star Grands Prix in Wellington, 5th and 8th with Good Luck
• Double clear on winning Irish team Wellington with Sam du Challois
• 2nd in the one million dollar Grand Prix Ocala with Good Luck
• Member of winning team St Gallen with Good Luck
• Double clear 7th St. Gallen Grand Prix with Good Luck
• Double clear 6th Knokke Belgium 5 star Grand Prix Good Luck
• Winner of two international classes at the prestigious Aachen show with Be Gentle
• Won opening international class at RDS with Aramis
• Double clear on the Aga Khan with Good Luck - team finished second
• 4th Dublin Grand Prix with Good Luck
• Winner of a feature jump off class 5 star Spruce Meadows Calgary with Callisto
• Winner of Grand Prix Horse of the Year Show Birmingham with Super Sox
• Winner of International class at Doha Global Tour Final with Callisto
• 3rd in the Stuttgart World Cup with Good Luck
• Member of 110 senior teams to date.
In Horseware's latest instalment of #makingachampion, we go behind the scenes with 2012 London Olympics Bronze Medallist Cian Oɼonnor. Have a look into his world class equestrian program to see what it takes to get to the top level of the sport, and how Horseware has been a part of that journey....
We had a great week at the Dublin Horse Show in the RDS.
Aramis was 1st and 2nd in two international classes, Excellent was 2nd in the 7 and 8 year old qualifier and Good Luck didn't touch a pole all week- he was double clear in the Nation's Cup and 4th in the Grand Prix on Sunday.
Team Ireland finished a close second in the Aga Khan Cup after completing the two rounds on zero faults to tie with Italy.
I was thrilled with Good Luck who jumped two incredible clear rounds. All the team jumped really well and it's great to ride alongside Denis, Greg and Bertram as we are all pulling extremely well together with one ambition - to win.
Denis was given the tough task to be our man in the jump off which was made even harder by the fact that he was drawn first so the Italian jump off rider Piergiorgio Bucci could study his round.
All Star had no fence down on Friday over three rounds but unfortunately a long gallop to the last confused him and he dropped off the bridle and ducked out at the last fence. Sport can be cruel but as a group of riders we all support each other through victory and defeat.
It was an amazing atmosphere and we all did our best.
Good Luck jumped an outstanding clear in Sunday's 200k Longines Grand Prix and despite an over-ambitious turn on my part in the jump off we finished a creditable 4th.
It's always a long and tiring week but it's still one of the best shows in the world largely due to the huge supportive and knowledgable audience who support all the riders not just the Irish!
Cian competed at perhaps the world's most prestigious show jumping venue this month - Aachen in Germany.
Aachen is not only a five-star venue but boasts one of the biggest arenas in the world, and the reputation for the most difficult courses.
Cian had two wins with Lillie Keenan's Be Gentle at the show, taking the speed class on Wednesday and following this up with the No.1 placing in the Prize of Sparkasse, which includes hunting elements such as ditches and banks.
In the Grand Prix on Sunday Cian brought out his top horse Good Luck and had a fence off in each round to finish in 14th place.
Cian said afterwards: "I felt our rail in round one was particularly unlucky, as Good Luck barely touched the vertical at the third part of the treble, which rolled backwards out of the cups. He's really learning how to gallop at these big jumps and I feel a big win is just around the corner!"
Cian added: "There are many good horse shows in the world and then there is Aachen - incomparable!"
Cian and Good Luck produce another Grand Prix double clear, this time at five-star Knokke in Belgium
Cian and Good Luck produced a terrific double clear round at the St. Gallen Grand Prix in Switzerland last Sunday to finish 7th overall. This is the first of two clear rounds.
Cian pulls it out of the bag again! Clear second round with Good Luck at St. Gallen in not the best conditions - Ireland won the Nations' Cup.
Good Luck jumped super today in La Baule Grand Prix but unfortunately tipped the back pole in the middle of the triple. Seven weeks since we jumped, when we were 2nd in the Million Dollar Grand Prix in Florida, and with Lummen cancelled we perhaps needed that round. All attention will now turn to St. Gallen in a few weeks time!
Great work by RTE's Road to Rio crew - I'm looking forward to watching the series on Olympic hopefuls!! Here's a trailer for the series, just in.

The White House gift shop is located at the National Press building in Washington, DC. Their store, which originally was only for White House staff, is run by the Secret Service Uniformed Division Benefit Fund and offers many unique items that cannot be found at other gift stores. The do not, however, offer a The White House credit card for you to consider.
Compare credit cards online with the free credit card chaser tool!
The good news is that the items sold by The White House Gift Shop are very affordable. They have items ranging in price from $2 to $100 and everything in between. If you are set on having a credit card that is associated with The White House that is officially associated, there is another option.
The White House Credit Card – The White House Credit Union
In 1935, The White House Federal Credit Union was founded by Secret Service employees. In order to be a member, you had to be employed by and work in the White House. Today, however, The White House Credit Union is open to any federal employees.
The White House Credit Union offers two credit cards, both of which are Visa cards. The available options are Visa Classic and Visa Gold. Neither card is a rewards credit card and these are defiantly not bad credit credit cards!
The White House Credit Card – The White House Credit Union Card Overview
The credit line for either of these cards will range from $7,500 to $20,000. What's nice about these cards are that they have no balance transfer or cash advance fees to deal with. If you use a Credit Union ATM, you will not be charged an ATM fee either. There is also no annual fee.
Both cards come with travel accident insurance as well as zero liability fraud protection. If you qualify for the Visa Gold card, you will also receive rental car collision insurance.
The interest rate for the Visa Gold is 9.5% and for the Visa Classic it is 14.75%, this rate is variable based on when the prime rates change.
The White House Credit Card – The Bottom Line
While there is no The White House Gift Store credit card, there are certainly two excellent options available from The White House Credit Union. The downside is that you have to be a member in order to qualify.
Use the credit card chaser tool found here to compare credit cards online today!

Sludge Feast
Photo by Stephan Apicella-Hitchcock/
courtesy Sire/Warner Bros. RecordsDinosaur Jr. would have been Nirvana—history and hindsight agree—except they were insane crazy assholes, torturing one another like North Korean prison interrogators until they all snapped at once: supposedly bassist Lou Barlow spent hours sucking on the plastic eye of a stuffed animal until guitarist J Mascis just—couldn't—take—it—anymore! And that was it: after that, only the nerds and the critics cared. But they cared a lot, and now, 20 years after the Amherst, Massachusetts, trio first fused the force of hardcore with Neil Young style arena rock and superfuckingLOUDNESS, they're ready to welcome the kinder, gentler, less eye-sucking Dinosaur Jr. back.
With relatively cooler heads, grey hair in Mascis' face, and presumably thinner wallets, the band that prefigured emo by playing with heavy distortion and moping about girls is reissuing its first three albums and hitting the road. And, with families in tow, individual tour buses and professional management, drummer Murph tells us a month into the tour that it's still "a pleasant surprise the way everything is working out."
Enthusiasm and volume buried the hatchet last year when Mascis, who had been gigging around doing Stooges songs with the Asheton brothers and Mike Watt, saw Barlow at a show and asked him to come up and sing. Shortly after that, Murph, who was getting into jam bands and enjoying the holiday season at his mother's home in Colorado, got a call from some management company saying it was on.
It's reported that Barlow had apologized to Mascis before the Stooges gig, but Murph explains that he didn't really need to.
Upcoming Events
"Dino has never been like that. Everything happens with us on a very subconscious level," he says. "We were never really a band that openly hashed things out. It's totally not like the Metallica movie.
"At first, there were some tensions," he continues. "We weren't sure how it was going to go. Those guys didn't know what to expect of me because I'd been out of the loop for a while, but within the first practice they knew right away that I was dead serious."
Every review of the reunion shows we've read has taken time out to mention that Murph, who is criminally underrated as a drummer (partly because Mascis actually wrote a lot of what he plays), is knocking hell out of the old songs. To that he says, "I've been gone a long time, man. So I feel like I have a lot to make up for."
There's also the comfort of knowing that people care. Dinosaur Jr. is remembered for being unique and groundbreaking, but they stuck out as different even on the eclectic SST roster of the late '80s. The people who got their style branded it to their soul, but not that many people got it. Their first show in Orange County, on the tour for the brilliant album You're Living All Over Me, drew no one but SST employees.
"I remember just being freaked," Murph recalls. "Greg Ginn and the rest of the SST people were just standing there, arms folded and staring at us. I totally felt like it was some crazy audition to see if we could cut the mustard. That feeling took over so strongly that I wasn't even aware of how many people were there."
Murph tells us the current tour has sold out halls full of people in their early 20s, which is what happens when a buzz gets 20 years to gestate.
"I enjoy it now, I really enjoy it," he says. "Back then I was playing by the seat of my pants. I was so concerned with not fucking up a drum part, whereas now I can kick back and listen to the songs and I can execute ideas."
Jamming through the old catalog is working out, but you remember the dynamics of this band when Murph stutters a bit when asked about writing new material. "I—I don't know," he says. "Things are so different now. We're still in the midst of getting through the summer—we can't even think about what would happen."

Fears are growing that more than 2,000 staff could lose their jobs if music giants EMI and Warner Music merge.
EMI had a $4.3bn (£2.3bn) bid for its US rival rebuffed earlier this month and is expected to make a higher offer soon.
But an EMI shareholder said this weekend that chairman Eric Nicoli had not convinced them that his company should take over Warner Music, rather than be swallowed up itself by the American-based firm.
Shareholders and analysts will quiz Mr Nicoli about his plans this week when EMI reports annual results.
Warner Music, whose artists include Madonna and James Blunt, is thought to be considering a counterbid for EMI. The two companies have been sporadically trying to merge since 2000. Schroders, which owns around 2.3 per cent of EMI, has already voiced objections over the company's plans for a rights issue to help fund the bid.
Now another shareholder, who declined to be named but owns around 1 per cent of the company, said EMI's management had not put a convincing case forward about its merger plans. "The question is whether EMI can convince us that they are the right ones to run the combined company, given how well Warner Music has done. We would need reassurances from EMI. They have to put a good case forward."
Around 75 per cent of Warner Music is owned by private equity groups, after their buyout of the company from its former owner, Time Warner.
EMI, which includes Gorillaz on its roster of artists, announced plans last month to cut costs by £30m each year, but Warner Music still has one of the highest productivity levels in the industry per employee following cost-cutting.
Simon Wallis from stockbrokers Collins Stewart estimates savings of between £160m and £230m a year could be made if the two companies merge. Around £50m could be saved by merging headquarters and cutting back office staff, such as accountants and lawyers, he said. The rest would come from a reduction in operating costs.
Mr Wallis estimated a fifth of the combined workforce of about 10,600 could lose their jobs. Warner Music employs 4,000 staff, and EMIhas around 6,600 on the payroll.
A spokesman for broadcasting union Bectu said if the companies merged, job cuts of 20 per cent would be "optimistic".
Staff in the UK include around 80 at EMI's Abbey Road studios in north-west London, made famous by The Beatles. The music giant's headquarters are in Kensington, west London, where several hundred are employed.Reuse content

Royal Ballet: Triple Bill, London
After Raven Girl, Wayne McGregor's controversial first attempt to create a narrative ballet, the choreographer moves back to the more familiar terrain of abstract dance. The Art Of Fugue is set to JS Bach's magisterial score, and its fusion of baroque and 21st-century sensibilities is overlaid by the intricate textures of artist Tauba Auerbach's designs. This programme twins the work with two very contrasting ballets. Frederick Ashton's Rhapsody is a fiercely fizzing setting of Rachmaninov music, which celebrates the careless elan of young talent. By contrast, Kenneth MacMillan's setting of Poulenc's Gloria is an elegy to the millions of young men killed in the first world war, its choreography a fusion of rapt beauty and harrowing loss.
Royal Opera House, W1, Fri to 15 Feb
Birmingham Royal Ballet: Prince Of The Pagodas, Salford
Benjamin Britten's beautiful but problematic ballet score was choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan back in 1989. Since then it has gained only limited public affection, but David Bintley is now giving the music a fresh hearing. His new version, first choreographed for the National Ballet of Japan in 2011, heightens the poetic orientalism of Britten's score to tell the story of Princess Sakura and her alliance with the Salamander Prince as she attempts to wrest her father's kingdom from the machinations of her wicked stepmother. Set and costumes come from the designer of War Horse, Rae Smith.

Chapter 10.1Mature
Robert did his best to distance himself from everything, from his surroundings, his guards, his lack of strength... None of it worked though. Everything he tried failed.
He heard the door down the corridor burst open and he tensed, expecting either a beating or a new slave.
The guards stopped by his cell, horrible grins on their faces. So, a beating it is, Robert thought as he looked at them blankly.
One of them unlocked the door and stepped in, grabbing his arm and dragging him to his feet. He said nothing as they pulled him out, though he was rather confused when they turned right instead of left. Left lead to the courtyard but right lead... to the house.
He stayed silent as he met Au'ra's anxious eyes. She moved closer to the bars of her cell but stopped and shrank back when one of the guards kicked at the bars.
Robert didn't dare to ask what was going on. They passed a few more cells. The inhabitants looked upon the little procession with great interest, though no one was quite sure of what was going on.
Ahead, one of the guards nudged the man beside him.
"Oi, what did the Baron actually say?" the former asked quietly.
"Well, how'm I supposed to know, stupid?" the other responded.
"It's none of your business," snapped one of the more senior men.
Silence settled.
The door was unlocked—it took a while as there were so many heavy locks that usually secured the door in place. It took two men to pull it open.
Robert looked around the large room. It was very well decorated, with chandeliers, and fancy carpets, and intricate rugs. He was marched past all of this finery.
He let his eyes glaze over as he walked down all the corridors. He didn't see any of the old paintings, or the delicately carved pottery, and not even the engraved hunting blades that would have interested him once, a long time ago.
He thought back to the night that had led to all this. He didn't regret his decision to take Beth's place. At least... He didn't think he did; every emotion, every memory, was as though it was happening to some far off stranger that he didn't know, or had perhaps known a long time ago. He felt as though he wasn't in sync with his old self. Not that it bothered him much anymore.

text: 2016-2017 Student Catalog | Doctor of Ministry Program | Academic Program | Dissertation Dissertation Process and Schedule Students are encouraged to begin thinking about possible dissertation topics early in their D. Min. program. This allows the coursework in the D. Min. program to begin informing and enriching the student's thinking about the possible topic(s). The following steps outline the formal process of researching, writing, and defending the dissertation: The student participates in dissertation orientation: This one-day orientation to the dissertation process is offered during the student's first residential week (the same week as DMIN 852NE: Calling and Vocation). The dissertation process and requirements will be outlined and discussed, and the student will be encouraged to begin preliminary thinking about possible dissertation themes. Attendance is required during the student's first residential week. The student takes DMIN 860NE Research Methodology: This course is offered in a hybrid format that combines online and residential instruction, and prepares the student to write the first draft of Chapters 1—4. DMIN 860NE is a 3-credit course that is divided into three 1-credit sections offered over three consecutive semesters (860-A; 860-B; and 860-C). Students should normally register for these one-hour classes in the second, third, and fourth semesters of their D.Min. program. Classroom instruction (Dissertation Seminar) will be offered on Friday afternoon during the week of each required (non-elective) DMIN course (855, 865, 875, and 885NE) each semester, with online instruction occurring in the weeks before and after each residential week. Preliminary dissertation topic and advisor information form: This form should be completed as soon as possible during DMIN 860NE so that an initial faculty mentor can be assigned and collaboration with that mentor can begin Topic approved and final faculty mentor assigned: At the conclusion of DMIN 860NE, the student will submit a final dissertation topic approval form. If the topic is approved by the D. Min. office (vice president and dean, and theological librarian), an official faculty mentor will be assigned. If the dissertation topic remains unchanged, the preliminary faculty mentor will typically continue in this role. Dissertation committee is named: Required members of the committee include the faculty mentor (chair), theological librarian, and the vice president and dean. At the discretion of the faculty mentor and in consultation with the student, other committee members may be added in order to achieve necessary expertise in the field of study. Writing of Chapters 1—4 (i.e., the proposal): Guided as necessary by the faculty mentor, the student prepares the first four chapters of the dissertation. Upon the mentor's approval of the proposal, a proposal defense with the dissertation committee is scheduled. Proposal defense: Upon completion of the dissertation proposal, the student will be expected to participate in an oral defense and evaluation before his or her dissertation committee. Copies of the four-chapter proposal (in 3-ring binders with tabbed chapter dividers) must be submitted to all committee members at least two weeks prior to the defense. The student functions as recording secretary for the meeting and submits a transcript of the notes to all members of the committee following the meeting. The dissertation committee has three options: a) accept the proposal as is with relatively minor editorial changes; b) accept the proposal with substantive revisions subject to faculty mentor's approval; or, c) require second proposal defense. If the student does not receive committee approval by a second defense, she or he will not be allowed to continue the dissertation process. The proposal must be approved before the student is permitted to conduct the research and complete writing. The proposal defense must take place at least six months prior to anticipated graduation. Please note that depending on the type of research being conducted, more than six months may be necessary. Research: The student conducts the research exactly as described in the approved dissertation proposal Writing of Chapters 5—6: The student reports the results of the study (Chapter 5) and offers an evaluative discussion of the findings (Chapter 6). Upon approval of the faculty mentor for matters of content, form and style, a dissertation defense may be scheduled with the dissertation committee. Dissertation defense: The student meets with the dissertation committee to defend the completed dissertation. The committee has two possible actions: a) approve the dissertation with minor editorial changes, subject to mentor's approval; b) require major revisions subject to committee's approval and/or second defense. The dissertation defense should be held approximately three months prior to anticipated graduation. Final edits, binding, and publication: Upon approval by the dissertation committee, the student makes final revisions based on committee recommendations, and works with the D. Min. office to make arrangements for binding and publication. A fully edited (copy-ready), final version of the dissertation must be submitted to the D. Min. office no later than March 30for a May graduation. Graduation: The Doctor of Ministry degree is conferred upon completion of all degree requirements
