Pittsburgh tight end Dorin Dickerson is probably an unknown to those who didn't observe the Big East closely last season.
Pitt's Dickerson is toast of the tight ends
Not a member? says: Feb 27, 2010 6:52 PM
You'd expect a TE that's WR size to be faster than the rest, huh?
vikes_favre says: Feb 27, 2010 6:57 PM
His frame will hurt him some in the draft. 6'1, 226 seems rather small for a TE.
Dolphinatic says: Feb 27, 2010 7:05 PM
Yea…And I hear its pretty Queer that some think that way. I mean the most gay and joyous tight end on the field of play isn't always the best thing. The toast?? I think not…. The butter maybe… but never the toast
OscarMooseFarmer says: Feb 27, 2010 7:19 PM
Yeah a 4.4 forty is pretty good for a 226 pound running back…sorry, tight end.
benjua says: Feb 27, 2010 7:28 PM
with that size he sounds like a future FB more than a TE. at least a fullback that can contribute in the receiving game though.
The Jimmy says: Feb 27, 2010 7:34 PM
Dickenson was a hell of an athlete coming out of highschool that could never settle on a position in college. They moved him ever year on both sides of the ball.
danielwolfnfl says: Feb 27, 2010 7:44 PM
He would benefit by changing positions to become a WR.
Dickerson would still be a mismatch for many CBs in the NFL.
You're welcome for the height correction! 🙂
DWRinAZ says: Feb 27, 2010 8:15 PM
A lot will depend on scheme. Name a single probowl tight end who got there as a great blocker. He's really a Chris Cooley type of a player (obviously a bit smaller but same mold). I can see a team like Arizona (or any other that favors a 2TE/1B set) take a hard look in the 2nd or 3rd round…
Buck Stallion says: Feb 27, 2010 8:22 PM
Too small to be a tight end.
lilmidas50 says: Feb 27, 2010 11:37 PM
im from the burgh and follow pitt , dickerson's a beast a little bit of a project.overall athlete has playe dmany positions but the guys big , makes clutch catches and love sfinding the end zone. good to hear he blew it up 2day!
lvass76 says: Feb 28, 2010 12:36 AM
Dallas Clark is what…6-3/250. Not ideal size for TE, but he causes defenses fits. And Dustin Keller is a mismatch nightmare. If this Dickerson kid gets drafted by the right team and coach (an imaginative Sean Peyton-type) he could be a nice addition.
Quagmire says: Feb 28, 2010 6:45 AM
6-foot-1, 226-pound…He's not even big for a WR.
If he makes the NFL no way will it be as a tight end.
Big Tex says: Feb 28, 2010 8:45 AM
Jason Witten is a great blocker and a great receiving option.
SFrancis1680 says: Feb 28, 2010 10:01 AM
to small to be a TE, has the size, speed ratio to be a WR, probably isn't much bigger than Dez Bryant
jm0205 says: Feb 28, 2010 4:16 PM
If he goes to the right team(N.O, Indy, NE, or GB for example) he'll be a nightmare for defensive coordinators.. He has great hands.. I actually think he'd fit in quite nicely in Pittsburgh with A**H*** Bruce Arians's offense

Re: mathematica on macbook... hangs on 5-4
This is clearly something that you should address with Wolfram
support. Your symptoms suggest that there is something amiss will
permissions on your system, but probably the folks on this group
cannot diagnose this for you. My system works fine (similar apparent
setup to yours).
Connect with Wolfram support, I am sure that they can help you.
Of course you should try all the usual things, such as doing a fresh

Friday, November 2nd
BURLINGTON, Vt. – Mark Jankowski scored 76 seconds after the Catamounts had tied the game at two in the third period, and it stood up as the game-winner as Providence defeated Vermont 3-2 on Friday night at Gutterson Fieldhouse. Vermont drops its home opener and falls to 0-2-2 (0-2-2 HEA), while Providence wins its third straight game and improves to 4-2-1 (3-1-0 HEA).
Providence took the lead four minutes into the first period as defenseman Alex Velischek took a low wrist shot from the left point. Brody Hoffman made the initial save, but Derek Army crashed the net and poked it past the rookie to open the scoring. After a lengthy video review, the goal would stand.
In the second period, the Catamounts had the answer as a Tim Schaller penalty resulted in a lengthy 4-on-3 power play. Chris McCarthy held the puck along the goal line and dished the puck to Nick Luukko in the slot. Luukko faked a shot and fed Jacob Fallon in the right circle as he slapped a one-timer past Jon Gillies to tie the game at one.
Three and a half minutes later, Providence responded to retake the lead. Kyle Murphy touched a pass off the boards down the left wing to Brandon Tanev, who streaked into the Catamount zone. Tanev faked a pass to Army in the slot, deked to his backhand, and beat Hoffman with a low shot inside the right post.
Just 1:17 into the final frame, Kevin Hart was called for tripping to give the Cats their fifth power play of the night. Nick Bruneteau fired a one-time slap shot from the center point and Gillies made the initial save at the top of the crease. The rebound tapped off McCarthy's skate, and Connor Brickely touched in the loose puck at the right post to knot the score at two.
After a turnover in the offensive zone, Providence came back on a 3-on-2 to score the eventual game-winner just 1:16 later. Murphy fed Jankowski in the right circle and he whipped a shot toward goal. The puck tipped off a UVM defenseman and hit the crossbar, then came off Hoffman's back and trickled into the net at the 4:19 mark.
The Catamounts played the final 1:21 a man down after Luukko was called for tripping, but they pulled Hoffman and nearly tied the game on a Kyle Reynolds chance with two seconds left. Vermont finished the night 2-6 on the power play and a perfect 4-4 on the penalty kill. Hoffman made 24 saves in his fourth career start, while Gillies stopped 23 shots at the other end.
The Catamounts and Friars complete their two-game Hockey East series on Saturday at 7:05 p.m. at Gutterson Fieldhouse.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- A lot of stocks we follow broke out on Wednesday, and here are four to watch that appear to have more room to run.
Arista Networks (ANET) had a good day on Wednesday, up $3.94, or 6%, to $67.79 on 608,100 shares. The stock, which had held lateral support for three days, broke out of its declining channel on Wednesday's move. The next target is lateral resistance at recent highs in the $72-$73 range, and beyond that $77. Shares are now at $66, up nearly 20% for the year to date.
Arris Enterprises (ARRS) broke out of a rising triangle pattern on Wednesday, up another 1.06, or 3%, to $35.26 on 2.5 million shares. That's the highest level reached in 14 years. The stock is positioned toward the bottom of its long-term up-channel, and the mid-channel target is up around $39. Shares, at $35, are up 44% YTD.
BioCryst Pharmaceuticals (BCRX) on Wednesday broke out of a micro, inverse head-and-shoulders pattern, with a move up 61 cents to $12.86. A move above triple-top resistance at $13.20 could lead to our next target at the top of the channel in the $15.50 to $16 zone. Shares, at $12.55, are up 65% YTD.
GoPro (GPRO) had a nice pop on Wednesday, up 2.25, or 5.1%, to $46.32 on 6.4 million shares. That's still not the volume I'm looking for, but it has good momentum, up five points in the last few sessions. At some point the stock may start to spike, with the next target at the recent highs at $48-$49. Right now shares are near $46 and are up 46% YTD.

The Unlock the Past team were running a seminar at the Museum onshore.
It was a grey day but as we were welcomed to shore by bagpipes, the weather was not a concern.
|Eric and Rosemary Kopittke at the Brig Amity replica
We caught the bus into the Museum where the seminar was being held. It is on the site of the Residency and a number of historic buildings and the replica brig the Amity overlooking the Princess Royal Harbour.
The 148 ton brig Amity was built in New Brunswick, Canada in 1816. She ended up in the Southern Hemisphere when the Scottish Ralston Family bought her for their emigration to Tasmania. They sold her to the New South Wales Government and she was used for exploration and supply voyages. There is a Queensland connection (well it wasn't Queensland then) as the Amity was used to transport the 70 people including soldiers of the 40th Foot Regiment, 29 convicts, explorers and their families to Redcliffe in Moreton Bay in 1824. Amity Point is named after the brig.The ship went to King George's Sound in 1826 to establish the military outpost.
There is a walkway near the Residency with panels listing the names of the settlers.
At the seminar Dr Richard Reid, Rosemary Kopittke and the local society gave presentations. There was even a gentleman from Bowral, NSW in the audience! I always said the Unlock the Past seminars are a not to be missed event but that is a decent journey to attend. Actually he was over helping hos daughter to move and she kindly gave him the day off to attend the seminar as it had World War One and Irish topics.
At the seminar we met John Shapland and his daughter Alyssa and this led to a fantastic visit to his private museum, a major highlight of the cruise, which you'll be able to read about tomorrow.
Thanks to John we were also able to visit the National ANZAC Centre which was another major highlight and you can read about here.

God Sucks!
I just got back from Chicago, phew! What a nightmare!! No, not the convention, Wizard World was OK, although it would have been way better if they did away with all that superhero comics bullshit, man! That DC/Marvel crap is getting more and more difficult to digest with every show, there are probably 50 spiderman titles and equal amount of Batman and Superman rubbish, and the fanboys seem more ignorant and retarded than ever, but you know what? There is a future, I've seen it and it looks promising, more on that later, back to God and her cruel games: I spent nearly 2 full fuckin' days at the God-forsaken airport, not once, not twice, 3 times a ladeeeee...(sorry, I've got a little carried away there for a second, I'm under a lot of stress, please forgive me) I meant, 3 times my flight(s) were cancelled due to electrical storms that were predicted but never really happened and to top it all, my luggage with my artwork, books and drawings I picked up at the WW show, including my newly acquired "Spongebob Squarepants" undergarments, has been lost!! Hopefully not for long, my current calzoncillos are singing Broadway tunes to me. God, please! Give me back my underwear, you can keep the artwork and the books, I promise to behave, this time's for real!
From now on, this is the way my table will be set up at every convention. Easy to spot, ain't it?
click to enlarge
"Enter Void" .
Darrow was sitting directly across from me, and I - like the big dope I am- didn't realize it was him until someone who came over to buy a book from me, showed me an inked drawing of "Nixon The Tax Collector" from "Hard Boiled" he had just bought from GD, I asked the guy where was Mr. Darrow sitting and of course I felt like a total dildo when the guy points and says: " That's him, right in front of you". Now, you all know I am not a big comics guy but Geof Darrow is one of the handful of individuals I respect and admire in this abortion of a business we call comics. I went over there and bought his current books ("The Shaolin Cowboy" series) and left one of my books as a token of my admiration and for being such an inspiration to me all these years, I didn't act like a fanboy (but I wanted to) I kept it in my pants and I went back to my table to mind my own business, the next day he calls me over and he hands me a gorgeous original inked drawing of "Rusty The Boy Robot" something he was selling for 40 or 50 bucks, he says he likes the work, thanks me for the book and shakes my hand like a true gentleman. Enough said!
Next, I meet R. C. Harvey, I stop by his table and see this book with a nice girly on the cover, the style is old school and seems familiar but I'm totally not placing the author, I open the book and read a few things here and there and decide to make a purchase, I scramble for my wallet and realize I have left my money at my table, I promise to come back for the book, the person in charge tells me the author is walking around but assures me he will be back to sign the book upon my return, I says, " 'sokay no need for signing" and I leave, within an hour or so, an older man (in his late sixties/early seventies) stops by my table, on his way to see some other artist I assume, with a big grin on his face he glances over and picks up one of my sketchbooks, I chat with him for a bit and when I look up to see the name on his tag, it hits me! This is the man whose book I was about to purchase, he offers money, I tell him he can have the book free of charge since I felt an immediate connection to his work and writings, he says: "Wait a few minutes" and disappears, only to return with one of his books in hand, he autographs it to me, I return the favor but misspelled his name, and we chat some more. Nice!
Lastly, I meet James and Marley, part of "The Void People" posse, these kids, and I mean that as a term of endearment since they are mostly in their early twenties, (there's nothing kiddy-like about their art, except the disarming honesty and integrity of what they do, James is a brilliant man, he draws better than many a seasoned veteran, comix or otherwise) show up at my table, we chat about DRAW! Magazine, Marley gets me confused with Bret Blevins (which is not a bad thing, it's just that Bret's uglier) I ask to see their work, she says: " I don't have mine with me but James does" reluctantly he agrees to show me his portfolio while we walk, I was floored! I must have seen 3 pages at most, I didn't need to see no more, I later got to meet the rest of the crew and see more of their collective stuff, the zaniest, most humble, respectful and talented bunch, so full of dreams and holes in their pockets, you could cry. This is the future of comics, you better fuckin' believe it. I felt so inspired after chatting with them and somehow I felt my decision to remain independent -despite the hardships- matter more to me now than ever before. I really do hope they stay true to their vision, I'd love to see them make it big, they deserve it. Cheers to you Spikes, you fuckin' rule!!
Photos and more art whenever I get my luggage back.

My lovely messenger, Jess, brought me the wonderful sketchbook, thank you so much! (xox) I hope you enjoyed the cavier (~.O) and the wimmins.
From the sound of things, it seems like you and Craig have much in common. Jess said she told you what was going on. I'm so glad to know that both of you are still here to tell about it. The way I see it, Craig(and you) has had enough of the darker side of life to last him for quite a few years, from here on out, it'll be smooth sailing.
I'm so sorry about your luggage, I hope there's not some evil airport employee running around with your SpongeBob on his backside. (well that sounded alot naughtier than I intended, but you get the idea.)
I've been without luggage as well, hopefully it's back soon.
See you in a year.
Take care

Man, I had a blast meeting you in Chicago. I tried to find your table the day after the Mexican restaurant get-together (I was the guy sitting to your immediate right), but I was unsuccessful and wound up just roaming the convention floor.
Anyway, I put my LJ address in the webpage link for this reply (because that site is the easiest to contact me through), but my website is over at http://wally.pgbco.com, if you care to peruse it.

Yo Mike!
Sure I remember, I only had 3 margaritas that night:) You're the Mike who did the logo for Paul's comics venture. I had a great time hangin' with you guys, sorry for vomitting on your brand new snake skin cowboy boots, the stain is easily removable with vinegar and two drops of acetone but the stench will last forever.
I'll check your site for sure, thanks for stopping by.

[UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE] Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the few stars not rested ahead of Sunday's Clasico against Barcelona, scored twice and hit the woodwork two other times in the 3-1 win over Schalke 04 on Tuesday to move into the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League with a 9-2 aggregate win. The goals gave him 13 in this season's Champions league, one short of the record of 14 set by Barcelona's Lionel Messi in 2011-12.
Real Madrid, unbeaten in 31 straight
games, joins Barca and Atletico Madrid in the quarterfinals, giving La Liga three clubs in the final eight.
"It's good for Spanish soccer to have three teams in the quarterfinals and
shows it is in good health," Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said. "We are coming into the 'Clasico' in good form and are very excited about the game.
Generally speaking, we are full of confidence and motivation."
First-half goals by Samuel Eto'o and Gary Cahill gave Chelsea a 2-0 win over
Galatasaray and break a 1-1 tie from the first leg to become the first English club to book its place in final eight, an achievement Chelsea manager Jose
Mourinho did not want to underestimate.
"We are a Champions League club," he said. "We are amongst the last eight, the best teams in the world, with all the big clubs. The players
deserve to be there."

Spicy Lobster-Noodle Salad
This cellophane-noodle salad, with creamy avocados, crunchy peanuts and a chile-honey dressing, is an excellent showcase for Caribbean spiny lobsters. Also known as rock lobsters, they are sweet but can be slightly dense. This recipe uses Maine lobsters; they're more tender than spiny lobsters—and just as delicious.
Slideshow:More Recipes by Jean-Georges Vongerichten
- Total Time:
- Servings: 10
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 large garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
- Salt
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1 fresh long red chile
- 3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
- 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges, for serving
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon elderflower cordial (see Note)
- 1 teaspoon sambal oelek (see Note)
- 1/4 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
- Three 1 1/2-pound live lobsters
- One 3 1/2-ounce package dried cellophane noodles
- 2 large Hass avocados, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
- 1/4 cup chopped salted roasted peanuts
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced mint leaves
- 2 tablespoons thinly sliced cilantro leaves
How to make this recipe
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic, shallots and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the garlic and shallots are golden, 7 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
Roast the red pepper and chile directly over a gas flame or under a preheated broiler, turning occasionally, until charred all over. Transfer to a plate and let cool. Peel the pepper and chile and discard the stems and seeds; cut into 1/4-inch dice and transfer to the bowl with the shallot mixture. Stir in the fish sauce, lime juice, honey, elderflower cordial, sambal oelek and sesame oil. Season the dressing with salt.
Add the lobsters to the boiling water head first and cook until bright red all over, 6 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the lobsters to a large rimmed baking sheet and let cool.
Crack the lobster claws and knuckles and remove the meat. Using scissors, cut along the underside of the tail shells and remove the meat. Remove and discard the dark intestinal veins from the tails. Cut the tails and claws into 1-inch chunks.
Bring a small saucepan of water to a boil. In a medium heatproof bowl, cover the cellophane noodles with warm water and let stand until pliable, about 10 minutes. Drain the noodles. Using scissors, cut them into 3-inch lengths. Add the noodles to the saucepan and cook until al dente, about 1 minute. Drain and transfer to a platter.
Scatter the lobster and avocados over the cellophane noodles. Drizzle with the chile-honey dressing. Garnish with the peanuts, mint, cilantro and lime wedges and serve right away.
Make Ahead
The cooked lobster meat and chile-honey dressing can be refrigerated separately overnight.
Elderflower cordial is a nonalcoholic beverage sold at specialty-food markets and online at chefswarehouse.com. Sambal oelek, an Indonesian chile sauce, is available at Asian markets and specialty-food stores.
Suggested Pairing
Look for a pale rosé with crisp acidity and berry-rich fruit to pair with Asian-influenced dishes like this one that are tart, spicy and sweet at the same time.

material prices
As an electrician, do you frown on using material the customer provides ?
Im talking about standard items, standard brands, in obvious good functioning condition. (perhaps a case of receptacles or boxes of #12)
Is material a place where some profits are derived ?
would small outfit be different from a big fleet electricial group ?
The only customer supplied items I install are lights and fans. How can you warrenty an item if you did not buy it?
Fixtures are always customer resopnsibility. Unless it's recessed cans.
Small quantities of material, such as like you mentioned, I would use to help them get rid of it.
If they offer to buy all the material, NO WAY.
As jbfan said,if something goes wrong the customer will still want you to replace it free.
Yes, ther is a small markup. This is mostly to cover all the behind the scenes work done apart from actual on the job time. Many folks think our time is not worth anything unless we are right in front of them. Either we make a small profit on material or rates go up. The time, gas, insurance, ink, computers, etc., used in getting material has to be compensated from somewhere.
I am not one who makes a lot on material. I do know some guys who do mark material way up. I'd rather make all my overhead back plus a small amount. Lots of folks go to Lowes and HD anyway and they love to tell us how much they can get the stuff for.
Also, there is the PIA factor. The customer will never get everything we need to do a job. At least in the right amounts. We use lots of material. If I have a box of receptacles left over big deal. They'll get used in short order.
If I have to tell the customer every little thing I need the job would take twice as long.
I believe "Penny wise & pound foolish" applies here.

The Buffalo Sabres have taken a few steps of late to shore up the roster of the Rochester Americans – moves that were foreshadowed during the most recent season.
The acquisition of Matt Hackett from the Minnesota Wild was a sign of some sort of switch in goal for the organization. That was confirmed this past week when the Amerks announced plans not to re-sign 28-year-old veteran David Leggio, who was the team MVP this past season but has never earned an NHL call-up. The 23-year-old Hackett went 3-0-0 for the Amerks with a 1.62 GAA after the deadline day trade. He's also played 13 NHL games already, going 3-7-0, so he's shown he can perform at the top level in the event a vacancy emerges in the Ryan Miller saga.
The Amerks also let their leading scorer leave. Mark Mancari signed a one-year, two-way deal with the St. Louis Blues. The 27-year-old right wing had 22 goals and 39 assists last season. Blueliner Alex Biega and left winger Nick Tarnasky and also signed elsewhere – with the Vancouver Canucks and an undisclosed team, respectively.
About the only move made so far by the Sabres organizationally was a couple days ago. In a move General Manager Darcy Regier forecasted Tuesday, the club signed forward Matt Ellis to a two-year, two-way deal. The 31-year-old spent most of last season with the Amerks after playing the entire 2011-12 season in the NHL. He has 16 career NHL goals and 25 assists in 267 NHL games. He has seven goals and five assists in 32 AHL games last season.
Regier said this past week Ellis will captain the Amerks if he can't make the Sabres' roster:
"He's a guy we're looking to to provide some leadership down there."
The Sabres did make one new addition to the organization Friday, signing defenseman Drew Bagnall to a two-year, two-way contract. The 29-year-old was captain of the AHL's Houston Aeros last season and also appeared in two games for the Wild. He had one goal and five assists in 47 AHL games.Tags: Buffalo, Buffalo Sabres, Hockey, NHL

Jordan Wolf is among MLL's wave of talented rookies. (Inside Lacrosse Photo: Rich Barnes)
If you watched MLL games this weekend, you heard nearly every commentator make some sort of remark on how great this rookie class is. It was like they had a memo from the league office to talk about it, that's how absolutely relentless the notion was communicated. Someone even said that Jordan Wolf should be the league MVP. We don't have to point fingers; people say crazy things on MLL broadcasts. One time this guy made up a story about an LXM dispersal draft. It was wild. Here's the thing… This might actually be the most exciting and impactful class of rookies, but the real surprise is the continued influx of younger players driving the evolution of the league.
Which, if you take into account the seasons of John Grant junior and Casey Powell, seems logistically insane… Until you actually break down the last three years of production from the three sets of new players (2012, '13, '14) that have come into the league. Just have a look at the scoring charts for the last three years — it's not a hint of the turnover; it's a rockslide of the truth.
There is a steady and marked decline in top-tier veteran production. Is it due to a deteriorating veteran core, or have the last three rookie classes been that much more talented offensively than their veteran counterparts? Those are the wrong questions. Try this: "Has the MLL has ushered in a new class of player to fit the pace of the league?"
Players coming into the league are no longer just big set shooters, or just feeders from X or even just downhill dodgers. They have to be able to execute a multitude of offensive tasks in order to be effective in the MLL. The veterans are becoming more and more specialized as they age, many of them gladly relinquishing hazardous ball carrying to fresher legs while they focus on honing their most useful/comfortable skill (hint: it's usually shooting).
Obviously there are a number of exceptions to this theory. Rabil, Powell, Danowski , Mundorf — these are all players that teams rely on to run their offense/function as the primary ballcarrier in offensive sets. (Junior doesn't run the Denver offense per se, but we will get to that) Yet all of them — with the notable exception of Mundorf — play completely differently than when they first came into the league.
Rabil used to run right at the heart of the defense and beat two guys to get his shot off, and (to be honest) sometimes he still does that. This season, he has used the attention his dodging and shooting have brought him to draw doubles and hit the backside cutter (usually Will Manny) after the defense shifts. In his first season in Boston, he and Matt Poskay had regular sprinting contests to the box after turnovers. Now Rabil at least makes an effort to stay on and ride to the midline if there is an opponent nearby. Rabil's point total this year (54) is nearly identical to last seasons (55), but this year Rabil has 33 assists (tied for the league lead) — 14 more than he had in 2013, and his highest season total to this point in his seven-year career. It would be even higher if he didn't Paul George himself (Too soon? Too soon.) against the Launch this past weekend, too.
Powell used to be completely unstoppable thanks to a combination of his athleticism and scoring acumen, attacking from all angles of the field. Now at an advanced age, he backs into GLE like a Ninja Turtle moonwalking into gunfire, letting his defender choose whether or not to hold their ground or take a whack at his exposed back. As soon as the defenseman make his decision, CP pivots just enough to get his head around and see the field and makes his own decision with the ball. Seriously, watch Powell this weekend and see what his body does vs. what his head does vs. where the ball goes out of his stick; then appreciate it like old people admire Downton Abbey. If anyone over 60 is reading this — why do people like Lady Edith? She's horrible.
Matt Danowski was one of the best NCAA players of all time. He came into the league as the all-time NCAA scoring leader thanks in no small part to his ability to pass to finishers like Zack Greer on the crease. Do you know who Danowski played for his first year in the league? No, it wasn't Long Island — it was New Jersey. The New Jersey Pride. The coolest thing about them was their logo and their color scheme. The team made the playoffs twice (2002 and '03) and consistently vacillated between mediocre and horrible until their merciful execution in 2009. Why am I telling you this? Well, how would you feel if you were one of the best college players ever and you came into the pros on one of the worst pro teams ever? (It's a rhetorical question that you can ask Johnny Manziel if you ever meet him). Something in Jersey changed Danowski — he still had an amazing finisher on the crease to compliment him (the too frequently forgotten Merrick Thomson, who was forced to retire due to multiple concussions) and three notoriously five-tool Peyser brothers in the midfield (Stephen, Greg and Michael). Danowski also put up a balanced 19 goals and 14 assists, but he was flanked by Matt Rewkowski and Scott Urick. Rewkowski was a solid if unspectacular second-QB-type of attackman, but Urick… well, Scott Urick never met a shot he didn't like. He played in the league for six years, played in 62 games, took 422 shots and put up 144 goals… and 23 assists. I imagine Urick and Danowski after a game kicking back in the bowels of Rutgers enjoying some blue PowerAdes when Urick all of a sudden launches into the lacrosse version of this speech: "Goals are Good. Goals are right, goals work. Goals clarify, cut through and capture the essence of the evolutionary spirit."
Now we have Matt Danowksi, shooter from all angles, passer of "eh, sometimes". It's all Scott Urick's fault.
Mundorf has been playing the same way since his first game; he's just gotten better at it each season. Using calculated moves that look rather spastic to get to his spot and either laser a pass across the cage or fire the ball past the goalie. Mundorf plays like he's 6-6, 240 lbs. and always has. Which is fine, unless he's hurt and — unfortunately — this season the scrappy king of amber locks was decidedly hobbled. Mundorf changed a little bit for Team USA during the World Games, but he also had to work a little less to get his shots against, frankly, inferior defending. His knee problems limited his game, but he tried to push through for the Bayhawks this season. His lower point total is due to a lack of touches, games and underperforming teammates: not effort.
That collection of offensive veterans is basically the last bastion of team-running vets in the league. Do you know what all of them have in common?
They're not making the playoffs this year.
(At least, not yet. Boston needs to win and Ohio to lose in order to punch their ticket. Oh, and the Cannons are all out of Rabils.)
Look at the other side of the league — Rochester and New York essentially initiate through a rookie and a super-soph right now. Denver has a great mix of younger players above and behind the net and pairs them with a fistful of creative Canadians. Ohio relies on a veritable treasure trove of sophomores to power their 6-on-6 and is the best example of how teams have transformed their entire philosophy to embrace — for better or worse — the breakneck speed of the MLL by taking advantage of their stable of younger and more dynamic playmakers.
Rochester has embraced the chaos of a constantly rotating roster of attackmen and has somehow made it work. The Rattlers have employed no less than seven different attackmen down low this season, eight if you count Dan Hardy's time down low. All-told, Rochester's attackmen have produced 85 goals and 36 assists. That's astounding, but there's more — of those 85 goals, 48 were scored by rookies. If you look at the rest of Rochester's roster, just three of their top 10 scorers have been in the league for more than three years: Kevin Leveille, Steven Boyle and Dan Hardy. Of those three, only Leveille has played in the majority of the games (despite being the captain of the U.S. Team). The Rattlers have benefitted from a strong and powerful midfield led by Justin Turri's team-best 34 points, John Ranagan's bull dodging and Dave Lawson's wing slashing. All three of those middies have been in the league for three years or fewer. That trio's confrontational style forces teams to choose between sliding quick or holding and hoping that they miss. The Rattlers have the most lethal collection of off-ball cutters and shooters in the league, led by the aforementioned Leveille, but heavily complimented by Matthews, Cockerton and Thompson. Somehow we have gotten to his point and failed to mention Jordan Wolf, who has played in all of six games and is the Rattlers' second-leading scorer with 28 points. The Rattlers have done a great job of cutting the field in two using goal line extended; Wolf attacks from behind if the big boy line can't get it done up top, and then the inside guys pick and pop for easy finishes. The Rattlers can run an entire offense with three guys on one side of the field and they're sickeningly good at it because they have younger players that can consistently win their matchup.
The Lizards are a strange stage play of hardened midfield veterans being controlled by a cherubic puppet master. Rob Pannell is the driver of their offense, and man does he take risks. (I'd make a NASCAR reference here, but it will inevitably end badly and they stone you New Hampshire if you make bad NASCAR jokes. I want to live.) As I was writing this section, Inside Lacrosse's own Joe Sweeney posted a picture of Pannell taking on four Charlotte Hounds defenders and scoring. It's not surprising that Pannell does things like that — it's almost expected. After being the second most veteran laden team at the start of the season (behind Chesapeake), the Lizards are a very different team heading into the playoffs. They dealt for 2012 Cascade Rookie of the Year Matt Gibson, they dropped Matt Striebel, moved Ned Crotty to midfield, began featuring JoJo Marasco more prominently and, most importantly, let Tommy Palasek be Tommy Palasek.
Denver is a curious case of the offensive system overshadowing the offensive players. Ever since Stagnitta's reign began in 2012, the Outlaws have had the majority of their success by sharing the ball more than they — and numerous other teams — had in the past. This is, of course, a much more simplistic way of explaining that Denver was much much better at exploiting their matchups with shortsticks by using their athleticism, and employed a tenacious ride to get the ball back. What does a team need to employ a high-pressure man-locking ride? Why, young players with fresh legs, of course. Denver ran a sword through the entire league for two years by stuffing and creating transition with the same ferocity that they checked and dodged. Players like Drew Snider (now in his third season) and Jeremy Sieverts (now in his fourth season, third as a full-time player) thrived in the system that used the midfield as a focal point and the attackmen like a fulcrum. The ball still swings freely in Denver with B.J. O'Hara at the helm. A collection of gold medalists has re-invigorated the shattered remains of the 2013 we-were-almost-the-best-team-ever-until-we-weren't Outlaws. John Grant, Jr., leads Denver in scoring with 51 points, but right behind him is perhaps the most underrated attackmen in the league: Eric Law, who's put up 48 points. Law burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2013 scoring 24 goals and notching 8 assists, shooting just over 50%. Now, Law is second only to Junior in scoring on the Outlaws and has not just replaced Brendan Mundorf's totals from 2013 (23G, 18A) but eclipsed them.
Ohio. What can I say about Ohio that I haven't already gushed about in this space? Their 6-on-6 lineup is flat out silly: Tom Schreiber (now out with a broken wrist, but still), Peter Baum, Kyle Harrison, Logan Schuss, Marcus Holman, Steele Stanwick. Or as I see them for the purposes of this column: Rookie, rookie with an asterisk, veteran, sophomore, sophomore and sophomore. That group of six guys has scored 142 goals. If you take away Harrison's goal total of 26, and assume that he isn't Benjamin Buttoning us all, you're still left with well over 100 goals from players that have been drafted in the last two years.
The thing about this trend towards younger players ± it doesn't mean that having young offensive players is always going to lead to success. (It also doesn't mean that a team of wily veterans is going to break down like a dateless bridesmaid, but then again there's Chesapeake… we'll get to them later on.) The draft is more important — and also more unpredictable — than ever. Drafting a player after his junior year leaves a nice year-plus gap for that pick to blow up in your face due to injury (Pannell) or career path (Baum), among other concerns. Of course, both Pannell and Baum worked out for their respective teams; it just took an extra year for them to get in the uniforms.
Look at the point totals (and round averages) of the offensive players from the 2014 rookie class:
Round 1: Schreiber, Wolf, McArdle, Noble
Round 2: Chanenchuk, Guida, DeNapoli
Round 3: Emery, Dionne, Thompson, Ward
Round 4: Loy, Thompson, Dunster, Eipp
Round 5: Mangan, Love, Maltz, Benn
Round 6: Losco, Cernuto
Round 7: Barton, Cockerton
Totals: 22G, 0A
Average: 11G, 0A
Obviously Cockerton skews the later rounds and is the only reason I went past round four, but the point of all of this is to hammer home that this rookie class has been remarkable. What's really mind-bottling is what you see when you look at what the offensive rookies from 2012 and 2013 have done in 2014. Honestly, the comparison is jaw dropping.
Round 1
Round 2
Round 3
Round 4
Round 5
Round 6
Round 7
There have been 1322 goals scored in Major League Lacrosse in 2014; 647 of those goals have come from an offensive player drafted in the last three years. That's 48.9% and it doesn't even count the goals from solitary d-mids (though I included some flex guys like Dominique Alexander and Brent Adams), FOGOs or longpoles.
The success of younger players doesn't necessarily discount the need for veterans. Look at a team like Charlotte. They have managed just four wins this season and are about to engage in a slap fight with Chesapeake to see who gets the No. 1 pick in the 2015 draft. The Hounds are the youngest team in the league. They played three veterans against New York last week — Danowski, Flanagan and Schmidt (Ghitelman was on the bench) — and have six rookies in the regular rotation. The youth hasn't helped them.
Conversely, the Bayhawks are the oldest team in the league, but have made several moves to get younger once the influx of injuries and recession of talent hit them early in the season. Like the Hounds, the Bayhawks have just four wins on the season. Unlike Charlotte, Chesapeake has an overabundance of veterans. Last week, the Bayhawks dressed seven players that have been drafted within the last three years, and two of them were goalies. When the season began, the Bayhawks had 15 veterans on their 19-man roster in the 15-9 loss to Boston.
The trick, it would seem, is not to overload on either side of the margin when it comes to young offensive talent. The three playoff teams that clinched their spots have figured out a balance between youth and experience in their offensive sets. Rochester, Denver and New York have combined their existing starpower with young and hungry dynamos. They are all at their best when they play unselfishly.
Earlier this season, I broke down the production rate between midfielders and attackmen in an effort to either confirm or deny the myth/rumor/legend that the MLL is a midfielder's league. The scoring split between attackmen and midfielders ended up being relatively even, perhaps only denting the simplistic premise of midfield domination. It would seem that the second venture into MLL myth has been a tad more fruitful. Thanks for helping me hunt down and kill that other wearisome cliché — that the MLL is a veteran's league.

Valentine's Day–Swolemate Style
Dinner, a movie, some flowers and chocolates. This is the recipe for every boring, cliche, overplayed, not to mention unhealthy, Valentine's Day date ever created.

15 Minute HIIT Workout
With the holiday's coming up, you may be having trouble trying to fit everything you need to get done into your day. But that doesn't mean that you can skip out on your workouts. Skipping workouts now is a slippery slope that not only puts a stop to your current progress, but may also make future progress more difficult to achieve. This time of year it's easy to get caught up in overeating, poor sleep schedules and over booking your time. This 15 minute HIIT workout will help you to stay on track with your daily workouts even when you feel like you have no time though. Because although you may have to shorten your workouts a few days this holiday season, there's no reason to skip them all together.
Healthy Christmas Recipes
It's the holiday season and among all of the hustle and bustle there's one chore that you just can't afford to put on the back burner until the very last minute. And that's planning your holiday menu. Planning a healthy holiday menu is one of the best ways to ensure that you stay on track during the holidays with your healthy eating. The best part is that thanks to this list of delicious christmas recipes, you'll have plenty of options to choose from without having to worry about skimping on flavor.
How Daily Exercise Saves You From Overindulging During The Holidays
The holidays have become associated with overeating and overindulgence. They have become a time to sit around with family and friends stuffing yourself full of goodies that you spend most of the rest of the year avoiding, while avoiding the activities you spend most of the rest of the year pursuing. It should not come as much of a surprise then that continuing your workout routine during the holiday season will help you save yourself from overindulging on all of the goodies around you. There are in fact a few different ways in which daily exercise saves you from overindulging during the holidays.
Cooking With Oil 101
Sure, by now you know that cooking with the unsaturated fats of oils is better for your health than using the saturated fats found in butter, but did you know that olive oil isn't the only kind of healthy cooking oil out there? In fact, there are at least ten cooking oils that you should be using on a regular basis depending on what you're making (and how you're preparing it). You see, different oils are better for different uses because they don't all share the same qualities. Oils you may use in frying you wouldn't want to try in baking, and oils you bake with you wouldn't want to use to make your salad dressings.
12 At Home Pilates Moves
Tis the season of travel. But that doesn't mean it has to be the season of sedentary lifestyles and over indulgent diets. Just because the holiday season has you traveling away from your home gym and towards the land of carbs, calories and candy doesn't mean that you should be venturing away from your workout routine, and healthy eating patterns. In fact, now more than ever you should be focused in on your fitness goals to make sure that you aren't losing traction with your progress. Take time to evaluate where you are and where you'd like to be in the coming months, then use some of these at home pilates moves to ensure that you get there regardless of where your holiday travel plans may take you.
Fitness Debate: More Reps vs. Heavier Weights
When it comes to hitting the gym it seems that everyone has their own way of training and their own set of guidelines that they follow to achieve optimal results. But is there a right or wrong way to train? Is there a specific set of guidelines that you should be following to make sure that your gains are progressing as they should, and that you're achieving the results you want without putting in more effort than necessary? When it comes to weightlifting there is one question in particular that people seem to be asking more and more these days. Should I be doing more reps with lighter weights, or less reps with heavier weights?
High Protein Dessert Recipes
Tis the season for desserts and overeating. Don't let all of your hard work go to waste, and don't ruin the progress you made with your summer body just because it's time to start layering your clothes now. We've got deliciously nutritious high protein dessert recipes that will keep you on track with your dietary goals while letting you feel like you're cheating. It's the best of both worlds. Whether you are a peanut butter lover, chocoholic or pumpkin craver we've got a high protein dessert for you!
Stay On Track This Holiday Season
The holidays are here and with them comes the hardest season to stay on track with your diet and fitness goals. Between the holiday office party, social obligations, and family celebrations it's hard to stay away from the fat, sugar, and starch, and stick with your healthy eating habits. Learn how "Junk" food changes your hormonal profile and why cheat meals are devastating to your health . To avoid destroying your hard earned progress here are the best tips to stay healthy this holiday season, and fend off those extra pounds.
How To Squat Heavy Weights
When you're training for a marathon or athletic event you don't just run, swim, bike or complete drills pertaining to that athletic event. You spend time working out all areas of your body to make them faster, stronger and more efficient so that they work better together to create better overall performance. The same theory applies when you want to improve your weightlifting abilities. You cannot expect to increase the amount of weight you can lift with one part of your body without also strengthening the rest of your body. Especially when your goal is to squat heavy weights, which in itself takes multiple muscle groups to accomplish. Here are a few tips to help you increase your squat weight.

Manhattan Finishes Second at Inaugural Millrose Collegiate Invitational
NEW YORK - The Manhattan College men's and women's indoor track & field teams had a successful tune-up for next weekend's Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) Championships at the inaugural Millrose Games Collegiate Invitational at the New Balance Armory Track & Field Center on Saturday. Led by four first-place finishers, the Jasper men secured second place in the team standings. The Manhattan women finished eighth as a team.
Manhattan's gold-medal haul actually started at Draddy Gymnasium on Friday, when Anastas Papazov (Balchik, Bulgaria) won the weight throw competition with an effort of 17.26 meters (56 feet, 7½ inches). Papazov was one of three Jaspers to score points in the weight throw, as Colin Quirke (Los Gatos, Calif.) finished fourth (15.94 m, 52'3¾) and Edward Brentnall (Atlanta, Ga.) was fifth (15.57 m, 51'1). On Saturday in the shot put, it was Quirke that finished first with a toss of 17.24 m (56'6¾), while Papazov placed seventh (14.23 m, 46'8¼).
Also notching a victory was Brian McGovern (Yonkers, N.Y.) in the pole vault (4.80 m, 15'9). In the 800 meters, Kevin D'Emic (Rockaway Point, N.Y.) ran his best time of the season, winning the event and qualifying for the IC4A Championships in 1:53.40. D'Emic led three scorers in the 800. Mikael Rojeras (Sala, Sweden) took fourth in 1:55.21, while Nick Italiano (New York, N.Y.) finished eighth in a time of 1:55.96. Anthony Colasurdo (Lanoka Harbor, N.J.) secured four points with a fifth-place finish in the 1000 meters (2:30.14), then ran the leadoff leg on Manhattan's 4 x 800 meter relay squad that placed fifth (8:09.46). He was joined on the relay by Italiano, AJ Hanifin (Long Valley, N.J.) and Salim Corbin (Patterson, N.J.). In the 4 x 400 meter relay, Tyrek Barney (Hempstead, N.Y.), Sheldon Derenoncourt (Patchogue, N.Y.), Dimitri Mobley (Abington, Pa.) and Carlos Petrovich (Yonkers, N.Y.) grabbed fourth place with a time of 3:20.23.
Rounding out the athletes who scored points on the men's side were Mike Carroll (Nanuet, N.Y.), who took fifth place in the high jump (1.93 m, 6'4), and Trevell Moxey (Lansdale, Pa.), fifth in the triple jump (13.90 m, 45'7¼). The Jaspers earned 78 team points, just eight behind first-place Maryland.
On the women's side, Heidy Palacios (Yonkers, N.Y.) improved her season-best in the 500 meters, taking third in an ECAC-qualifying time of 1:14.85. Doreen Horschig (Lumpzig, Germany) earned a victory in the long jump, leaping 5.36 m (17'7), while Andrea Nyback (Koping, Sweden) was seventh in the 60 meter hurdles (9.08). Manhattan also earned points in the women's pole vault, as Sarah Moore (Irvington, N.Y.) and Karolin Wagner (Ribbesbuettel, Germany) tied for sixth (3.35 m, 10'11¾) and Melissa Yap (Orchard Park, N.Y.) finished in a tie for eighth place (3.20 m, 10'6).
Manhattan's 23.5 points were good for eighth place in the women's team standings. The women's title went to Penn, which tallied 117.5 points.
In addition, a select number of Jaspers were chosen to participate in the Millrose Games themselves. Papazov and Brentnall also competed in the open weight throw, and Papazov took third place with a mark of 18.09 m (59'4¼). In the college men's distance medley relay, which was run during the professional portion of the prestigious meet, the team of D'Emic, Greg Perrier (Dix Hills, N.Y.), Barney and Rojeras qualified for the IC4A Championships with a time of 10:15.54.
The Jaspers are back at the Armory Track & Field Center next weekend for the MAAC Championships. The men's team looks for its 16th consecutive MAAC indoor crown, while the women look to regain the title after finishing second in 2011. Action gets underway at 6 p.m. on Friday night.

"Pippin, don't be silly. They're your spoils. Besides, if you and Gandalf can smoke on the way, I imagine he'll be a bit less grim."
"We've gone all this way without pipeweed. I imagine Gandalf and I can live a few more days without a smoke. Minas Tirith is a big city! They've got to have pipes. How can you have a proper city without pipes?
"Pip, Big Folk don't smoke. Except for the Rangers, and I think they learned the custom from hobbits. I don't expect that you'll find pipeweed in Minas Tirith.
Instead of looking disappointed, as Merry expected, Pippin looked annoyed. "Well, that's just, just uncivilized, it is. When my pipeweed runs out, then– "
"Runs out! Here, I thought you were giving me your pipeweed. So, you give me a pipe and nothing to smoke, is that it?"
"Of course not, Merry! What do you think of me! I'm giving you half my pipeweed. That way we both will have something to smoke. Not much, mind you. In fact, it's only a few smokes worth, but it'll do for those moments, you know, when the Shire feels so far away, it seems we'll never get back?"
Merry sobered suddenly and looked appreciatively at his cousin. Indeed, he knew those moments; he'd had many in Orthanc. Their smoke the night before had brought the Shire closer than it had felt in weeks.
What truly struck Merry was Pippin's acceptance of the coming separation. He had indeed grown into a great and brave hobbit. Merry was proud to be his cousin. He promised himself he would make Pippin as proud of him as he felt now.
"Merry? Are you going to just stand there with that silly grin and think about pipeweed? Or are you going to take it?" Merry's grin grew as he accepted Pippin's gifts.
Pippin's smile faded and Merry's followed, sensing their parting was near. His stomach flipped and he tightened his lips, refusing to waver in his composure.
"You will find your way to Minas Tirith, won't you, Merry?"
"You can be certain of it, Pippin. The Rohirrim plan to continue to Gondor after they do combat with Sauron's Orcs. I shall be with them. Even Gandalf thought it fitting that I accompany Rohan as they ride to war. He knew I was ready and fit to do battle against those Orcs. And this way, he says I might find my way to Minas Tirith. Lady Éowyn said it's very big. So I imagine the city will be easy to find."
"Yes, Gandalf said the same. I only hope it is not so big you cannot find one small hobbit within it."
Though a bit forlorn, Pippin did not look frightened, to Merry's amazement. His affection and pride swelled in his chest.
When Gandalf picked his cousin up and deposited him on his horse before him, Merry forced himself to remember Orthanc. Pippin was not in the hands of Orcs. He was with Gandalf. He could be no safer. It eased the pain in Merry's heart a small bit.
Éowyn soon arrived to take Gandalf's place before him and told him he must prepare to ride with the Rohirrim. He looked behind him at the bustle of activity and wondered if he should be more worried for his own safety. He turned back to Éowyn as she prodded him on, and noticed a sharp look of determination in her eye. Merry decided it must be the look of war.
As dawn approached, the Rohirrim prepared to set out to meet an army from Mordor, while the three from the Fellowship, with the sons of Elrond and the Dúnedain, prepared to take a road untraveled.
His hand finally free of the sling, Legolas carried his pack to Arod, the horse the Rohirrim had provided for him. He turned at the sound of someone approaching.
Éowyn's white raiment glowed faintly in the dark. The tension and worry were clear in her eyes. Legolas left the horses to meet her, and Éowyn granted him a brief smile. "My lady, you should smile more often. The dim halls of Meduseld would be brighter with it."
Éowyn looked at him but did not respond. He found he could not discern her thoughts, and his curiosity and concern for this woman grew.
"You leave with Lord Aragorn by the way of Dunharrow?" As he nodded, she looked as if she held back great emotion. "It is a Path of Death," she said, grief heavy in her voice. She mourned them already.
"I am not a man. I do not fear the dead."
"That you do not fear them does not mean the dead cannot take you. And what of those who go with you?"
"It is their choice to make."
She looked intently at him, as if reading him. "Why would an elf fight beside men?"
"I swore an oath to the Company I will not abandon. This battle is only part of a war to come. It will spread throughout Middle-earth if we do not fight here. I fight for my people and your people."
"You are hardly healed. You cannot yet wield a bow."
"For a short time more. Until then, I shall yet serve Aragorn. I am more than my weapon." He continued over her look of disapproval and doubt. "Furthermore, I use a short blade as well as a bow. And it will not be long before I shall wield a bow again, thanks to you." She rewarded him with another small smile. "Your healing hand has done all it could. I now do what I must." The smile faded from her face.
Éowyn looked at him inscrutably, then looked off into the distance. "Have you not ever wanted to change your destiny, shrug off the weight of duty?" she said in a whisper. Legolas thought of his years in his father's court and thought perhaps he knew of what she spoke. "Have you not ever wished to do what your heart tells you instead?"
Legolas saw in Éowyn's face a desperation that spoke of more than his leaving. He could only speak of himself, though it might not serve her. "Indeed, Lady Éowyn, it is what I do now. For my heart tells me, despite the advice of healers and that of even my own body, that I should accompany Aragorn on his new path."
"But none have ever returned from that path!"
"Perhaps our path shall lead elsewhere. And perhaps you shall see us again. We cannot say. But Aragorn believes this is his path. And I believe my path is by his side. My heart tells me this is so, and I must follow it."
Éowyn looked at him long, and slowly a deep sadness came over her. Finally she nodded. "So you go to battle then," she said quietly, and turned from him, and her voice turned bitter. "While I remain to tend the hearth."
He realized his estimation of her had not been far from the mark. Legolas reached out and grasped her arm. "You would rather hold a sword than a ladle, would you not, Lady?"
Her expression was fierce. "Would you not wish the same?"
Silenced by her retort, he looked at her in admiration. He wished to assure her once more they might meet again, but the words sounded empty. She pulled from him, and with one more glance to him, she left.
Then Aragorn appeared at his side, as Rangers are wont to do, watching silently as Éowyn retreated. Legolas had only a word for him. "Formidable." He walked away into the night to contemplate destiny and duty.
They soon began the ascent to the Gate at Dunharrow, Aragorn on Roheryn, a gift from the Rohirrim. Behind him followed the Dúnedain, led by Halbarad, then Elrohir, Legolas and Gimli on the horse Arod, gifted to them by the Rohirrim, and finally Elladan in the rear.
As they climbed, Aragorn mused over their two small friends for whom they had come so far, but who would not now accompany them. He would never ask the hobbits to suffer this path, and while they were in safe hands for the moment, he missed them, plain and simple. Regret yet gnawed at him for his inability to spare them the ordeal they had suffered at the hands of the Orcs and Saruman. No doubt much time would pass before he no longer rued his poor decision. That is, if he had much time left to him.
His thoughts ran away from him to the Company and their Quest. Was the Fellowship broken? Could they consider themselves a Company as they strode off in different directions? Merry rode with the Rohirrim to war, as Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli did by a far different path, a path from which none expected them to emerge. Pippin accompanied Gandalf to meet the Steward Denethor of Gondor, and Aragorn prayed the Steward would not be too harsh with the hobbit. But then he smiled as he remembered Pippin's refusal to be brushed aside by Gandalf at yesterday's morning meal. The hobbit had grown much. Besides, he was with Gandalf now. Aragorn would not concern himself overmuch.
His thoughts went unbidden to the other hobbits, for whom they had all suffered. Their paths as well were their own. He wondered where they might be and how they fared. As an unfamiliar ache began to grow in his chest, he drew his mind from those whom he was forced to admit held a special place in his heart.
When they set out from Rivendell, he had never imagined they would not finish this Quest as one. Surely he knew there were dangers, lethal ones in fact. But for all who survived, he had envisioned them together, supporting Frodo.
Was Gandalf right, then? Had they yet aided Frodo, though not in the manner they had expected? Had all their suffering served? And would their future suffering, sure to come, likewise serve Frodo?
Aragorn sighed. He could not manage to resist the creeping doubt that yet haunted him. He prayed he had chosen rightly once more. He would have felt more at ease had his prayer not been so akin to that which he had made when they had set out from Parth Galen. Once again, he – and the lives of his friends – relied on his judgment.
He must learn to trust his judgment again – the judgment of a king. At the moment, this Ranger felt no more competent than a child. Must he learn the lesson at the expense of friends' lives? Though Gandalf had returned, Boromir would never rejoin the living. Perhaps this was a lesson only the Dead could teach him.
Author's note: I must thank all my readers and reviewers who stuck through this till the end! Thank you for all your support. But most of all, I must thank Thundera Tiger! Without her fantastic beta work and unending support, this story would not be what it is. And likely would never have been completed!

Silica substrate
Just started our new tank about a month ago, went from Flourite to Silica. This is "number 2" grain on a scale of 0-4. The look is great, and it cleans very well, but it clouds up the water very easily. I just did a re-scape and stirred the substrate quite a bit, I need a way to remove the cloudiness without a chemical solution. I have just added a few fish and don't want throw a whole pharmacy in there.
I have been reading up on using polyester fill in the filter to get rid of the cloudiness. Any advice on getting rid of the cloudy water, or "water polishing" as I have read?
polyester pillow filling would help alot.
Make sure to get stuff WITHOUT any added chemicals.
You can get a one square meter roll piece for about $5. and it'll last you a few months.
You might also look into getting some bagged Seachem Purigen for your filter - that will really clarify & polish your water. And a fine mesh pre-filter sponge on your filter intake will help a great deal too. Just rinse it well every few days (takes but a minute).

Thanks everyone,
I went and got some polyester for about $3.50 and i replaced the filter screen on a standard penguin cartridge with it. How thick should I go before it stops being effective and starts to just impede flow?
Seachem is on the shopping list, just 100ml as its only a 36 gallon.
I hate seeing the light reflecting off my garbage quality water, here is a picture of the tank
Thickness of filter floss use - I'd suggest no more than double-layering it, to avoid slowing filter flow, or even clogging up, as the floss gets real dirty.
The remedy though, is to simply replace it with new, religiously every 2 weeks.
I have started on the polyester floss, changing it every 2 days (only because I have enough to wrap around my house) they keep coming out pretty dirty.
I have resorted to Seachem Purigen...
It seems to get rave reviews, so I put way more than my 36 gallon needed in last night. It certainly put a dent in it, but still not out of the woods yet.
Keep in mind that the Purigen particles should not be packed into the bag in a too thick layer - water must be able to flow well right through it for it to have optimum effectiveness. I feel it shouldn't be more than about 1/2" thick.
Thanks Paul,
I learn about the Purigen the hard way first, haha.
What i ended up doing was a 60% water change using the Siphon, and focused on really trying to pull all the particulate from the substrate. After doing this, replacing the water, along with the filter floss/Purigen the result is very good.
Shame on me for not doing a good enough job of washing the substrate out of the gate.
I figured I would bump this a bit...
I have taken all my plants out of the tank, removed all the driftwood and fish. I totally stirred up all the substrate until the water looked like tea, as there was quite a bit of detritus and waste also.
I am starting over tonight. Now my debate is keep the silica, all cleaned and filtered, or switch to a Lowe's pea gravel. I have read that pea gravel is much easier to vacuum and maintain, but doesn't accommodate foreground plants well. I have Amazons swords, Crypts and Red Echinodorus which are all fairly low maintenance plants.
Would anyone talk me out of keeping the silica in favor of gravel??
Silica substrate
I hate gravel but if it's easier on you seems like the way to go.

Met up with Parfyme again (We'd been in their Tent Show, and Pelle was part of Red Line Surveillance – building the mini bus shelter that's still there). They've been doing a Residency in Loughborough for Radar.
They travelled around the campus and further afield, getting "Ideas" in a custom made rucksack/mailbox – they were deliberately vague about what this meant, but when pressed said that perhaps something to do with public spaces would be good. They then took some of these ideas for activities on their current residency, and they may also feed into future work However, there was also an interesting suggestion that what they were really doing was to encourage people from a particular place to discuss what they thought would benefit them and if some people agreed, give them a push toward working on it together. Rather than being there to "fix" things, they were a kind of catalyst that could activate an area and encourage further public engagement.
This is from a set of photos up on Flickr of them exchanging Danish Sausage for ideas.
They came over to Birmingham for a couple of days, braving the snow to gather ideas around the Ikon, Brindleyplace and Digbeth, I didn't manage to see any of the things people suggested, but think it's a really good thing to just ask people to consider their environment in a different way, to change the course of someone's working routine, their train of thought. Whether any of the specific ideas get implemented is not the point for me, but instead that we start to realise we can work together to improve public spaces, and always be coming up with new ideas.

Tim Gunn wants you to consider what happens to animals who are victims of the fashion industry. Long before the success of Project Runway and Tim Gunn's Guide to Style made him a household name, Gunn was a friend of PETA and animals.
When he was the chair of the Department of Fashion Design at Parsons School of Design, Gunn started a program that allowed PETA representatives to give presentations to students so that they could see for themselves what happens to animals who are tortured and killed for their fur.
When Gunn became the chief creative officer at Liz Claiborne Inc., he invited PETA to show video footage depicting how animals are treated by the fashion industry worldwide and to present the many viable alternatives to animal fur.
Now Gunn is speaking up for animals again! But this time, he wants you, the consumer, to know what animals endure in the name of fashion so that you can make informed decisions before buying clothing and accessories made from fur, wool, and leather. Gunn has become the latest celebrity to lend his voice to animals by narrating peta2's new skins video, which he sent with a personal appeal to Donna Karan and Giorgio Armani, who both use rabbit fur in their collections. His appeal has not fallen on deaf ears, as Donna Karan announced days later that her fall 2009 lines will be fur-free and that she has "no plans" to use fur in the future.
Tim Gunn believes that people should make educated choices, and we hope that you'll do that each and every time you shop. With so many alternatives to fur, wool, leather, and exotic skins available, there's no reason to wear animal skins. As Tim would say, "Make it work"!
Please take a stand to help animals exploited and killed in the name of fashion by pledging to wear alternatives to fur, wool, and leather today!
Sign This Petition
Full Petition Text:
I don't believe in supporting an industry that causes animals a lifetime of suffering and a cruel and painful death. No animals will be tortured and killed just so I can wear them. By signing my name, I pledge not to wear any animals and to choose to purchase clothing, shoes, and accessories made from the countless alternatives to fur, wool, and leather that are widely available.

Modify Dell UC053 Speakers
I have a pair of Dell speakers (made to fit only Dell TV) that I want to modify for use with a Sony Bravia. I expect to add a power source and small amp, as the Dell uses their own unique hookup.
I cannot find any specifications, so am proceeding trial and error. Will try different dc adapters and amp connections.
Any suggestions would be very appreciated, as I am much short of being adept at this. :no:
The speakers are 20w/channel.
Look on crutchfield.com at the integrated amps choice. They range from about $150 to $300 or more.
Thinking of something like this.
Yes, that is one option. It would work for what you want. There are some out there that take the Optical out from the TV also.
I can figure out the speaker wiring, but have to find out which power supply will work.
Used 40/40 Pyle amp. Works fine and TV controls the sound level. Amp has bass/table and was inexpensive. Very economical, as the speakers were $28 with shipping and the amp was $39 from Amazon. The Dell speaker wires plugged directly into the Pyle fittings.:yes:
