Day 1,2 – Sabuk Lodge and Fly camp
Day 3,4 – Sleeping Warrior Lodge
Day 5,6,7 – Serian Camp
Day 8,9,10 – Delta Dunes Lodge
From Nairobi, after a 55minute flight with Safarilink, you will find yourself at Loisaba airstrip, just 30 minute game drive from Sabuk Lodge. The Sabuk team will be there to meet you. Transfer to the lodge and settle in and enjoy the next 3 days full of adventure, with your experienced guides, walking, camel safaris, bush breakfasts and wild life viewing.
Sabuk Lodge - Northern Laikipia is home to thousands of elephant, greater kudu and the elusive wild dog. This is a great opportunity to explore and walk close to wildlife guided by magnificent tribesmen with their camels.
The Sabuk team has been leading camel safaris in this area for over 20 years. Days of adventure await you, walking amongst herds, quietly absorbing the sights and sounds of the bush. Surprise bush breakfasts, camel safaris, picnics, game viewing, star studded nights, river fishing and experiencing the bush-craft and skills of the wonderful Laikipiak Masai. The lodge itself is perched on a cliff overlooking the Ewaso Nyiro River, open fronted cottages have fabulous views, on the inside huge comfortable olive beds, hot bubble baths, brightly colored local fabrics and arte facts adorn the walls. Delicious cuisine and tranquil decks invite some serious relaxation.
After a relaxed breakfast, you will be driven back to the airstrip intime for your flight to Wilson departing at 11.55. Upon arrival, you will be taken back to check in for your flight to Naivasha, departing at 15.00hrs. The Sleeping Warrior lodge vehicle and driver meet you off your flight and drive you to the lodge (approx 45mins drive).
The Sleeping Warrior Lodge is an eco-friendly luxury lodge just over two hours from Nairobi. Set on the stunning Soysambu Conservancy, the lodge offers breathtaking views of Lake Elementaita and the Rift Valley. Enjoy an unforgettable wilderness experience with night and day game drives, bush walks and excursions to nearby Lake Nakuru National Park and Eburru Forest Sanctuary. Soak in the splendor of the African bush in our widely spaced bungalows. Each bungalow is designed to maximize the views and offer the highest level of comfort and privacy to guests.
Enjoy a day of activities of your choice or a morning of leisure before being transferred to Naivasha airstrip for your flight to the Masai Mara departing at 15.20. Land at Musiara airstrip where you will be met by the Serian team. Game drive back to camp, settle in and enjoy the next 3 days of some of the best game viewing in the world.
Serian Camp (meaning "peaceful, calm or serene" in Maa) is the charismatic bush home of Alex Walker, filmmaker and guide in the Masai Mara. Serian is set in a secluded valley. Its eight, stylish "marquees" overlook the waters of the Mara River. The furnishings evoke the safaris of a bygone era: the natural colours of woven carpets on hardwood flooring and swaths of cotton setting off a hand-carved stone bath with river view, and a large verandah from which to enjoy the animal coming to the Mara River.
Serian's location in the North Mara Conservancy provides unsurpassed game-viewing: the migration of one and a half million wildebeest. Lion, Leopard and cheetah are year-round residents, feeding off the large herds of plains game sustained by the savannah. With over 450 species, the Mara is a birding hotspot. Serian also arranges helicopter flights, fly-camping and hot-air ballooning safaris.
Leave Serian after breakfast, take a picnic lunch with you this day so that you can enjoy and take advantage of a good long gamedrive, ending at the airstrip at 2.00pm for your afternoon flight to Malindi with Mombasa Air Services. On arrival at Malindi airport you will be met by the Delta team, waiting to whisk you away from the hustle and bustle of Malindi to the quiet and serene Delta Dunes.
Delta Dunes - The delta known as "The Wild Place by the Sea", on one side of the lodge you can enjoy 50kms of uninhabited and uninterrupted beach, with safe swimming and miles of rippling rolling sand dunes. On the other side of the beach you have a maze of salt water creeks and bush which is a sanctuary for the wildlife and over 280 bird species. We have access to the wetlands on the main Tana River, the only one of its type in Eastern Africa. You will be treated to fresh and fabulous cuisine, featuring mainly freshly caught seafood, local fruits and vegetables, home made pastas, and fresh fruit sorbets. Activities include River Kayaking, creek fishing, sand-yatching, guided walks, river tubing, birding, boat trips, game drives by boat, sundowners and beach dinners.
After 3 nights at the Delta, transfer to Malindi, for some of the best shopping in Kenya. This little Swahili town has a throbbing pulse with local and colorful markets; a trade street full of fabrics, locally produced brass lamps, art, antiques, a halva maker, fish market and some fabulous old buildings. Lunch and transfer to Malindi for your evening flight back to Nairobi. Met upon arrival and transferred to the international airport for your homeward bound flight.


text: It is now common practice for NFL teams to follow a "draft value chart," which assigns numeric values to every draft pick from No. 1 to the final pick in the seventh round, No. 262. The idea of the chart is to create a standard for assessing fair value for trades. Each team creates their own draft value chart based upon their assessment of the draft and strength of the players at each position.The chart only works with trades involving draft picks traded for picks. When players are involved, it changes everything. The chart is just a guide. If a team likes a certain player they might be willing to give up more value points worth of picks in order to get their man. Likewise, a team not happy with its position might be willing to accept less in return than the chart might suggest to move down a few spots. Below is an example of a draft value chart. This is not a a chart which is used by any particular NFL team and is only an example of the what might be used by teams in assessing a trade.

O'Reilly echoed false Bush claim that Kerry saw "same intelligence" as Bush
Referring to prewar intelligence on Saddam Hussein's Iraq, FOX News Channel host and radio host Bill O'Reilly claimed that Senator John Kerry "saw the same stuff" as President George W. Bush and judged that, in O'Reilly's words, "Saddam was a threat." But a recent New York Times investigation [1] into available pre-war intelligence documented that the administration did not share with Congress or the public all the relevant intelligence on Iraq, particularly the widespread doubt about Iraq's alleged nuclear weapons program.
On the October 8 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, O'Reilly offered Bush advice on arguments he should make at the presidential debate that evening: "Bush has gotta be blunt so even I can understand him. He's gotta look at Kerry and he's gotta say, 'Hey, look. You saw the same stuff I saw. You saw that Saddam was a threat. You went along with it. So knock it off with the Monday-morning quarterbacking, pal.'" Indeed, Bush himself often makes [2] this "same intelligence" claim.
But The New York Times' recent investigation [1] into the internal debate in the U.S. intelligence community surrounding aluminum tubes that Hussein had allegedly purchased (which were crucial evidence for the Bush administration's claim [3] that Iraq had restarted its nuclear program) revealed that the Bush administration was making alarming, seemingly definitive public declarations about Iraq's supposed nuclear program -- even as many of the most qualified nuclear experts in the U.S. intelligence community were raising doubts about whether the tubes could be used to make centrifuges to enrich uranium. But Kerry and other members of Congress were not privy to this internal debate.
The Times reported:
Mr. [Vice President Dick] Cheney went on the NBC News program ''Meet the Press'' [on September 8, 2002 [4]] and confirmed when asked that the tubes were the most alarming evidence behind the administration's view that Iraq had resumed its nuclear weapons program. The tubes, he said, had ''raised our level of concern.'' Ms. [Condoleezza] Rice, the national security adviser, went on CNN [the same day [5]] and said the tubes ''are only really suited for nuclear weapons programs.''
Neither official mentioned that the nation's top nuclear design experts believed overwhelmingly that the tubes were poorly suited for centrifuges.

My basement theater equipment install
I thought Id show off some of the progress in my basement entertainment room. Its not a theater room because it isnt designed to be strictly a theater room, but more of one large open space for watching TV/movies/sports, the kids playing, entertaining, etc. This thread is mainly focused on the A/V rack and its related equipment. One day when I have time I will possibly make a thread on the rest of the project it started as a completely unfinished basement.
I'm just going to jump into it here, as to go to the very beginning I would have to go a long way back.
Power inlet installed to feed power to the projector power outlet. This lets me be sure that the projector is on surge protection and conditioned power.
Wiring up the jacks/plates.
Where the AV rack will go:
Labels for everything:
Subwoofer Box built with ¾ MDF, Titebond III, and #20 biscuits. Port-tuned to 31hz with 2x 12 Polk subwoofers.
Subwoofers installed in-wall:
Ceiling plates for the projector:
***Picture Limit Break***
Projector mounted, this was before the black cables were replaced with shorter white cables.
Starting work on the AV Rack:
I test-fit it all together. It would work with only one board framing the whole surround, but the problem is the oval screw-holes do not completely sit on the board. You could screw it in, but there would be a gap that you could see through/behind the face. Fits better with 2 boards on the right side.
Shot from the back side.
I moved to one of the most looked-forward-to parts of the whole basement, building the AV rack. I put the front and rear frames together with basic mitered cuts, glued the joints and clamped with corner clamps to be sure everything stayed exactly square and perfect. Front face is typical colonial case molding in poplar, back is poplar 1x3s.
I clamped them to the wall, made sure the alignment was perfect, and attached them to the poplar frame boards, using 18g brads for the front case moulding and 16g finish nails for the rear 1x3s.
Perfect fit.
To accommodate non-rack-mounted equipment, I attached dual-track shelf brackets on the back side. This allows me to adjust the height of the shelves so everything fits well.
These are mounted through the face-frame and into the stud behind it - no worry about it falling off.
Mounted up. I held the equipment in place and marked where the screws should land. Then I took it out, drilled about 1/4"-3/8" deep holes, just to keep the front of the wood from splitting when I installed the screw. I didn't drill all the way deep so the screw would have a nice tight grab. These are mounted with 1" #6 wood screws and a finish washer.
With the equipment on shelves, it was time to start making the face panels. I wanted to build them out of aluminum, but due to having 99 other things I need to do, I figured I could do the same with hardboard and get a good result, and some day when I need something to do I'll start metalworking.
They were a process. First, I ripped a 2x4' sheet of 1/8" hardboard to 18-15/16" I tried to keep the height of each panel to a number of universal rack-mount size (1.75"). It wasn't easy. Also had to keep cooling and circulation space in mind with the components and future equipment.
So, with the dimensions, I went and cut down the panels, one at a time. I measured the component size and marked off where to cut in the center of the panel, which I did with the jigsaw - very slowly. Of course, they didn't fit with only that. So a lot of time was spent with a file to gently work the opening to a perfect fit.
All panels cut and test-fit:
I sprayed them with black primer, then black satin paint. Meh. Don't really like the paint finish, some dust or something settled on them while drying and some have rough patches. Could have been affected by the cold too. I still want to put the aluminum panels in someday, but for now these will work. I think in a while I'll take them off and plastidip them. That will smooth them out in appearance. I have enough other things to work on for now.
Put some black vinyl tape over the spaces in the AV rack panels, so that no light will come through when the closet light is on. Worked even better than I anticipated.
Started to put some flex-tubing on the wires. That white extension cord will be replaced with a short 1' extension cord from Monoprice that I'll order when I order the speakers.
Here is the screen frame. I brought it inside last night. The dimensions are bigger than a 102" screen, due to making room along the edges for 2" of black felt, and 3/4" of moulding, while still retaining the 102" viewable size. If you build any bigger than this, you'll want to consider assembling it in the room. I had a hard time getting it in the house and down the stairs. Not a big struggle, but if it were much larger it wouldn't have made it down the stairway
It's 3/4" MDF, assembled with #20 biscuits and Titebond III. Then, I glued some rectangle scraps of 1/8" hardboard on the the back at the joints, just because it seemed like a good idea. It's very rigid, and I'm not afraid of it falling apart. Also, the nice thing about MDF is I won't have to worry about anything warping over time.
I spray-painted the moulding that will go on the edges satin-black. This is just typical 1" outside corner moulding. Primed with black primer, then a few coats of satin black paint.
Here it is laid on the frame. It won't be attached until after the screen material
Screen material installation. I have a pneumatic stapler, which I planned on using. I only had 1" staples for it. So, after finally tracking down some 1/2" staple, I thought I was ready to begin. No. The narrow-crown staples just rip right though the material. Need to use a standard staple gun. Ok, started with that and was having good results. When pulling tight, the 54" wide material easily stretches to the edges of the 55-3/8" frame. About 10 staples in, I run out and can't find my box of staples. Find a box of staples, which don't fit my staple gun. Had to go buy some more. Aside from fighting staples, it was easy to do. Just start in the top-middle, put in 3 staples, go to the other side and stretch, put in 3 staples across. Then, moving in one direction (to one side), I'd put in 3 more staples, walk around and put in 6, walk around put in 6, etc. Secured the top and bottom, then did the sides in the same way.
Since the pneumatic was too powerful/too narrow to work well, I was using a standard staple gun. I didn't quite have the power to drive 1/2" staples into 3/4" MDF and sit them flush. So, I had to give the staples a quick tap with the hammer and they all went home.
Clamped and drying.
This stuff is awesome, by the way. No runs or drips - stays right where you put it.
Two hangmen attached to hang the screen. I highly recommend this method for hanging.
***Picture Limit Break***
Matching hangmen on the back of the screen.
Back of screen form distance.
Screen is on the wall. (final wall color still needs to be decided).
That's where I am today. I have 2" black felt tape ordered that will trim out the inside of the frame. This does 2 things: gives a nice even frame around the picture with light-absorbing material, and also increases the perceived contrast ratio of your eye. So they say.
I still need to order the speakers (5 go in the front wall, 4 in the rear ceiling), and build the frame/grill that covers the subwoofer. My plan for the rest of this week is cleanup. We have new furniture coming for upstairs next week, so the upstairs furniture is coming down here this weekend. Even though the basement isn't finished, I want to clean it as well as I can before putting the furniture down here.
Awesome! Nice work!
Looks good.....
I totally agree with leaving the back open for access to the wires.....would like to see some close up views of your wiring looms in the back.
How much power total does your system pull?
The wiring is not complete yet, I still need to add all the patch cables for the 9 speakers going between the receiver and wall panel. (I need to put the speakers in the wall first). When I get that done, I'll snap some updated pictures of the back side. Going to order those speakers shortly.
With just my test configuration with 3 speakers on the receiver + two subwoofers on the other, 2 computers, projector, network switch, HDHomerun, I pull somewhere around 9 amps [with it cranked-up]. When I'm actually powering the full compilation of speakers and replace the 2nd receiver with a real amplifer (Crown XLS1000), I'm sure it's going to go up a little. There are 2x 20a circuits feeding the outlets behind the AV rack. Each circuit has an Ethereal power conditioner/surge protector plugged into it, after which all the components are plugged into that. The power conditioners are only rated at 15a though, not the full 20a of the circuit. That's ok. It's still 30a of available power, which would be well over 3000w. Besides switching the 2nd receiver for the Crown amplifier, I'll also be putting in some other things, like HDMI distribution, equalizer, and DB meter. One day when money permits, I'd like to switch to a pre-amp + amp combination instead of just a receiver, but I have a long way to wait until things like that come into play.
The felt arrived a day early. I put it on at lunchtime.
I had to get really close to even see any light being shined onto the felt, does exactly what it is supposed to do in absorbing light.
The vertical height is about perfect. The horizontal distance leaves me with just under 1/2" on each side. One thing I forgot to account for - with the screen is on the wall the projected surface is closer to the projector. So my 102" image is now like 101-1/4". My projector is at max-zoom, so this is as big as I can get without moving the projector further back - which is not an option due to ceiling layout. So, for now I'll leave the white space on either side of the screen, but could always put another small strip of felt down the sides if it bothers me too much. I haven't actually watched anything - only had time to display the Windows desktop, so I don't know if the whole "perceived contrast" thing has a big impact.
Looking very nice.
What speakers are you ordering, and what projector do you have? How is the image quality?
For left, center, right speakers, I am using the 7604 speakers. Rear and surround will be in-ceiling 4103 speakers. Originally I was going to use 7604s also for the front-height channel as well, but am now wondering if that is an overkill and if I should just use the 4100 instead of the dual-woofer variety. For movies/TV they will get the job done, but if I run all-channel stereo, however, I might be able to take advantage of the expanded speakers.
Picture quality is good-enough for me for the time-being, on a DIY projector screen. The Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 705HD is an LCD projector, so its contrast is not as high as some of its DLP brethren. The projector I purchased was recently discontinued, and at a good price. It is a 720p projector, which is fine for sports and TV - as no broadcast uses 1080p (it's all 720p or 1080i). There are some satellite providers that can send pay-per-view content at 1080p, but it will be a long time before everyone broadcasts at that level - just not enough bandwidth to do so. The $1000 question was whether or not 1080p was worth a few blu-ray movies. I decided it was not at this time since TV and sports are primarily what it will be playing.

Have you heard these speakers yet? They look decent and have respectable specs, but I'd be leery about buying speakers that I didn't audition myself in advance. I have a 5.1 Definitive Technology system with BP2002 powered towers, a PF15TL powered sub, a CLR2002 center, and a pair of BP2X surrounds in my family room along with a Panasonic PT-AE500 LCD projector (720p) and a 96" pull down screen. I've also got a small Definitive Tech 3.0 system with a pair of ProMonitor 800's and a ProCenter1000 in the living room used with a 42" Panasonic plasma. Lastly, I have a pair of Definitive Tech UIW55 in-wall speakers in the bathroom. All of the Definitive Tech speakers have far exceeded my expectations and continue to amaze me with their sound quality. I hope your speaker choice proves to be something that you enjoy. (an old screenshot from the INHD channel from years ago)
I haven't ordered them yet, but from the reviews and man, many [hundreds?] of people on AVSForum that use them, I'm not worried. I don't want to put a multiple-thousand dollar budget into in-wall speakers for general room / TV purpose. If it were a standalone theater, perhaps I'd look higher end on the components. DT definitely makes some good stuff, but you pay for it.
You know, after my last reply I looked further into those speakers specifications and ratings and I am now officially impressed. Kevlar speaker cones and butyl rubber surrounds? One would not normally get that kind of quality until the price point reaches at least a couple hundred bucks. And now that you mentioned that the guys and gals at AVS Forum use them, I'm doubly impressed. I'm a member of AVS Forum as well. When you get them installed please let us know how they sound.

Mixed Signals: How to Make a Proper Apology
May 17, 2012 by 3 Comments
Mixed Signals is Erin Straza's weekly musing about marketing miscellany in advertising, branding, and messaging.We've heard plenty of public apologies recently. First was Rush Limbaugh. Then Ann Rosen. Now Mitt Romney. Each one tried to own-up to erroneous attitudes, comments, and behaviors by crafting a statement of regret and releasing it for the world to read, analyze, and judge.Why is it that these public statements tend to fall flat on our ears?

Finding Ancestors' Marriage Records
By Maureen A. Taylor
Seeking your ancestors' marriage records? Follow these 12 tips and your search will end happily ever after.
Wedding bells ring at each junction, more or less, of your family tree. You'd think so many weddings would have you practically tripping over marriage records, but in reality, finding proof of all those nuptials can be like searching for The One. Maybe you're having trouble tracking down the couple's marriage certificate, or the wedding took place before vital record keeping began. Happily, official records aren't the only evidence a marriage occurred.
The good news is that many kinds of documents provide details on when and where a couple wed, and maybe even who officiated the blessed event, which family members attended and what they gave the bride and groom. The less-good news is that not all of these records exist for every time and place. But can they help you track down the newlyweds on your family tree? These 12 tips will assist in your search for ancestors who tied the knot.

The debut recording from Austin TX's Shortwave Party!
"Shelby DuPerier's voice summons the frailties of the youthful human heart. Her powerful vocal presence could resonate in any number of musical contexts, but they work particularly well against Shortwave Party's mid-Eighties alt-pop. Inspired by the Smiths, the quintet never lets the mope grow maudlin. Credit guitarists Justin Finney and Brady Porche, who weave a riveting web of jangle that magnifies DuPerier's soulful yearning."
(Greg Beets for the Austin Chronicle, Dec 28, 2012)
" 'Where to Begin' is an enjoyably vigorous effort from Shortwave Party, a group from Austin, Texas...Their Facebook page provides a more thoughtful summary: "If Florence Welch had separate love children with Johnny Marr and Julian Casablancas and those kids committed incest and that monster started a band."...Shortwave Party appears to be on a quick rise to prominence."
(Mike Mineo for Obscure Sound, Oct 29, 2012)
"As you know, we like reading band's own descriptions of their music, and this Austin, Texas five-piece have gone for "Jangle pop that makes people dance and/or nod their heads approvingly." A slightly humble description I think you'll agree, yet it suits them well...(with) Shelby's fine pair of lungs and you can see how she's been compared to Florence Welch.
Sound-wise Shortwave Party are less commercial, and this is to their credit... It's the lead track that understandably marks the high point of this debut single, mixing a scratchy riff with some twanging guitars and a bouncy rhythm that's got "underground hit" written all over it; it's an appealing little number for sure. We look forward to nodding our heads approvingly when the next release comes around."
(KevW for the Sound of Confusion, Oct. 25, 2012)
"Shortwave Party are one of the latest welcome additions to Austin's indie pop scene in 2012. This quintet creates charming and upbeat guitar pop tunes with soaring vocals, plenty of jangly riffs, and just enough groove to make you bob your head and tap your feet... Their sound finds itself comfortably somewhere between the influences of the Smiths and the Buzzcocks and more contemporary bands like Real Estate and Beach House. Go get your jangle on and enjoy."
(Jennifer Leduc for Side One Track One, Oct. 3, 2012)
"Shortwave Party is like The Strokes, if The Strokes weren't boring. A more apt comparison would be to The Smiths or The Walkmen; bands which have a palpably energetic sound to their sometimes heart breaking tunes.
Shortwave Party's charming songs are grounded by frontman drummer Dolores J. Diaz's forward driving dance beats. Meanwhile, guitarists Justin Finney and Brady Porche (what a name) jump back and forth from jittery indie riffs to an almost 'wall of sound' style, giving each song a fantastic depth. In addition, Michael Kuntzman's clever bass lilts in and out of the song's spotlight with a laid back but nevertheless wholly present tone. On top of this already smooth pie of sound, vocalist Shelby DuPerier (okay, now I know they're making these names up) belts her heart out. Her voice conveys the grief felt by the overly self-conscious (once again, Morrissey and Leithauser come to mind), but doesn't come off as pretentious sounding as this sentence."
(Taylor Browne for the Deli Magazine, Sept. 12, 2012)

What an impressive company. It started with a casual search online for a company that sells organic cocoa beans in Canada ('cause I love chocolate that much). After reading a few testimonials I took the plunge and placed my order on a Sunday night. Incredibly, I received my order on the Wednesday morning - that's ordering, processing, shipping, clearance through Canadian customs, and courier delivery to my office - in just two and a half days! Incredible! Even more impressive is the marketing and online shopping experience, product selection, ease of ordering, and outstanding quality of products. In addition to the cocoa beans, I tried the cocoa powder, candied ginger, black walnuts, turkish figs, mixed mukhwas, and more. The freshness and flavour of each is outstanding. And even with trans-border shipping costs factored in, it's an impressive value. Thanks for everything and keep up the great work - I'll be ordering again soon!Paul, Kingston, Ontario

Selena Gomez Steps Out in Hot Pants at Sketch Bar in LDN
Kicking off her week with a fun-filled evening, Selena Gomez hit up Sketch bar in London's Mayfair district on Monday night (February 17).
Joined by a female friend, the "Wizards of Waverly Place" starlet looked super sexy in a pair of tiny black hot pants as she scurried off into the rainy weather.
And despite her recent stint in rehab, Selena posted a selfie on Instagram in which she appears to be drinking alcohol.
Gomez spent two weeks in a 45-day program at The Meadows to clean up her life and stop using marijuana, Ambien and alcohol, ditching out early by claiming she was cured.
Over the weekend, Selena spent some time with Niall Horan from One Direction and an insider told HollywoodLife it was all to make her ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber jealous.
"She knows it's going to piss Justin off because he always says that 1D is trying to steal his crown. Would she see [Niall] again? Yes. He's being a gentleman and that is great for her."

I love looking at the stars at night, so why not bring the stars to u! absolutely amazing!

Pierce has been cleared to participate fully in training camp, according to Ravens reporter Aaron Wilson. Pierce underwent rotator cuff surgery this offseason, but his recovery apparently will not be an issue going forward. Entering his third year with the Ravens, Pierce is stil behind RB Ray Rice on the depth chart. In 2013, Pierce carried the ball 152 times for 436 yards, averaging 2.9 yards per carry.
Fantasy Analysis:
In fairness to Pierce, it was a down year for the whole Ravens offense, and the running game in particular. He's shown flashes of really smart, decisive running, particularly during the 2012 season when he averaged 4.9 yards per carry. A lot of his value will be determined by factors outside his control, namely Ray Rice's health and effectiveness. However, don't write Pierce off as a valuable handcuff just becuse he experienced a sophomore slump. The best is yet to come from this unheralded running back.

Welcome to our Gen Y money blog, where a recent grad chronicles her real-life journey to becoming a financially independent adult.
"Dad," I said anxiously into the phone last month as I tried to figure out how to file my first income tax return, "being a real person is hard."
"You're already a real person," he kindly reminded me, "it's a self-sustaining person you want to be."
Nothing like a bit of fatherly wisdom to remind me of the sorry state of my finances.
In the last year, I have graduated from the University of Toronto with an English degree and started an entry-level job. I've finally entered the phase of early adulthood where everyone's concerns - including my own - have shifted from how much money I'm spending to how much I'm saving – and what I'm saving for. Given that I'm chin-deep in student loans, I can tell you that it's not much.
Thinking that starting my career immediately after my undergrad would put me in the financial fast lane, I had some high expectations regarding the relationship status my bank account and I would have on the one-year anniversary of my graduation.
In particular, I dreamt of a world where I would never again experience the stomach-dropping panic induced by unplanned debit purchases. I thought my days of $10 bottles of wine and ramen noodles would soon be distant memories of my youth. Most importantly, I saw a glimmering future where my savings would just sort of magically grow with my new-found income.
I couldn't have been more wrong. This past year has undoubtedly been the most financially frustrating of my life.
The first six months immediately after graduation involved a mixture of job-hunting mishaps and massive career hiccups caused by my severe desperation to get a real job (I`ll write more about that later). I felt like I worked harder at my job hunt than I had throughout my entire undergrad, yet all I had to show for it was an inbox full of generic corporate rejection emails.
I considered every option available to me to expedite the transition into "self sustainability." Temporarily move back in with the parents? Not unless I had to – I wasn't quite ready to give up all the autonomy I'd achieved over the past four years. Waitress or work in retail? Sure, but only for a couple of months until I found something to fluff up my resume.
Then, by some miracle, I landed a real entry-level job at a digital marketing agency.
The past six months I've worked there have allowed me to heave a massive sigh of relief on the career front. But while my career is flying full-speed ahead, my finances have yet to catch up.
This disconnect in pace between my career and my wallet made itself known a couple of weeks ago when my scavenging student ways got the better of me. I was called out for attempting to steal a leftover bowl of couscous salad from an office lunch and learn. In my hungry and confused state, I almost defended myself by crying, "I'm a student!"
Blame it on habit or appetite, it's miserable and embarrassing that trying to save money on an entry-level salary is a bit like trying to drive across the country on a 5 litre gas tank that can only be refilled every other week.
Don't get me wrong – I know I'm one of the lucky ones to have a job, let alone one that's helping to launch my career. I'm also fortunate to have awesome parents who supported me both mentally and financially during my job hunt and still help out with my phone bill (they know they wouldn't hear from me otherwise).
After the year I've had, I simply feel as though my financial status is still overwhelmed with covering basic expenses and catching up on student debt payments – forget about buying a house, car, or starting a family any time soon.
Seriously, an entry-level salary is the best form of family planning. If there's one thing I've learned while spinning the spider web of "self-sustainability," it's that small incomes require great responsibility.
By the way, Dad – my tax return went right into my savings. (Well, 90 per cent of it.)Report Typo/Error

So. I'm going to be at the MoCCA Festival in NYC from April 9 - 10 with Emma Rochon and Ariyana Suvarnasuddhi, as The Society of the Okay at table D6. Among other things, I'll have postcards for sale! But if you can't make it to MoCCA Fest, the postcards are also in my online store.
It's the first time we're doing MoCCA and, while I want to make sketches available, I'd like to try and spend more time interacting than drawing at this con. Let's give this a go... PRE-ORDERS. I ink up something nice-nice before MoCCA and you can pick it up from my table at the convention. Easy.
I don't anticipate a flood of requests, so I'm accepting pre-orders until April 6th. My 2011 con pricing is $20 for inks on 9x12 Bristol. Level of detail is this-esque, but probably a bit more because I'll be drawing at home without rush. I'm asking for payment through PayPal but if that doesn't work for you, we can figure it out via e-mail.
I have no more convention plans for the rest of 2011 (or the near future, honestly -- not as anything other than a fan/attendee, anyway) and Artists Alley adventures are the only time I do commissions at this rate.* If you are interested and will be attending MoCCA, please contact me at anniewuart [at] gmail [dot] com.
... I think that's it. Thanks, and hopefully I'll see you soon!
* I've been getting some requests for other sketches to be mailed out and, unfortunately, I can't do those right now. I can offer con sketches for cheap because they're done within the tiny window of time I've set aside to prepare/attend the con anyway and they're picked up in-person. All other individual commissions fall under other rates and I currently don't have the time to give them the attention they require since I'm also freelancing full-time. I'll make a big, obnoxious announcement if/when I start doing those again. Promise.

Ps. sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm just sorta new to this.

As a resident of North Brooklyn, I've been to all the themed bars. The pinball bar, the Post-Soviet Russia bar, the Ladysmith Black Mombazo bar in Bushwick - you name it. But this new library bar is terrible. I mean, they have excellent wine, but they don't let you talk at anything above a whisper. Plus, all the bartenders are shrewish spinsters. Vineyard website: http://www.foppiano.com/
These aren't much off of the winery price but they are pre-aged which makes this interesting. The CT link on the 96' has a less than great review and the reviwer seems to think its fading fast. Which is quite opposite to the reviews for the 97.
Has anyone had these and can they expand on whether these are age worthy?
Note that the 1996 is Estate Bottled. The other 2 are Sonoma County.
As to drinking, Kent has mentioned that PS can go thru a "dumb" phase (where the wine is muted) which starts somewhere between 10 and 15 years after vintage, and can last for 5 to 10 years.
So these could be in (or just starting) a "dumb" phase, thus the bad review on CT for the one.
I picked up two sets of the Vertical trio, one set to try now, and one to hold.
And note that you save more by buying the trio.
This is an interesting one for me just because it's not often (for me) to get the chance to try something this well-aged. Have to debate on this one, as the pricing isn't spectacular.

i love this deal. Access.
Very interesting offer, WD.
When I think about aged wines, I think Bordeaux, Burgundy or maybe a Napa Cab.. but Sonoma Petite Sirah? Not so much...
...but then we tasted these here, and wowza... what a trip. The fruit is still showing nicely in all 3. In the '97, the fruit was surprisingly still in the front seat.. in the '98 and '96, secondary characteristics were sharing the spotlight with the fruit. Others in the office favored the '97 for the strength of the fruit, but I liked the '96 best for it's complexity... leather, a hint of bitter chocolate, earthiness.. all sorts of stuff.
If you're a Petite Sirah fan, or if you enjoy unique tasting experiences, jump on board... you'll enjoy this one. Limited supplies, get 'em here or at the winery, but get 'em while you can,
I'm very tempted by this deal.
I can't comment on these particular wines, but I can say that a visit some friends and I had to Foppiano's tasting room several years ago was exceedingly pleasant. They were friendly and knowledgeable without a hint of pretension. It really felt like the family farm that it is.

Bulls Back in Action Tuesday Night at Home
By USF

WHO: Youngstown State (6-4) at USF (5-3)
WHEN: 7 p.m. Tuesday
WHERE: Sun Dome
TV: BHSN (Adam Kohler and Anddrikk Frazier); ESPN3
RADIO: 98.7-FM The Fan (Jim Lighthall and Todd Kalas)
By TOM ZEBOLD
USF Senior Writer
TAMPA - The well-rested Bulls return to action Tuesday night against a Horizon League opponent that's on a roll.
The USF men's basketball team plays its first game since Dec. 5 when it takes on Youngstown State at 7 p.m. in the Sun Dome. The two teams have faced off once, ironically on Dec. 18 in 1984, with the Bulls coming away with a 63-56 victory.
The Bulls (5-3) suffered a 61-49 loss at No. 22/23 Oklahoma State the last time out, but they continued to be smart with the ball. USF ranks 11th in the country in turnovers (10.4) and has posted less than 10 in each of the past three games.
Point guard Anthony Collins has had a lot to do with USF's efficiency and the sophomore currently ranks sixth in the country in assists with 7.9 per contest. Senior Toarlyn Fitzpatrick leads the Bulls in scoring (12.5 ppg) and Jawana Poland (10 ppg) continues to give head coach Stan Heath solid production off the bench.
Youngstown State (6-4) rides a three-game winning streak into Tampa and most recently defeated Hiram, 71-44, on Dec. 8. Like USF, the Penguins got a valuable victory against Georgia earlier this season. Youngstown State has used the same starting five all season and has gotten consistent production from Kendrick Perry (16.3 ppg) who is 47 points away from reaching 1,000 in his career.
Tuesday's game is the first of three straight home contests for the Bulls. USF hosts Bowling Green State on Friday at 7 p.m. and George Mason on Dec. 29 at 7 p.m. The Bulls wrap up their non-conference season at UCF on Jan. 2 before hosting Syracuse in the Big East opener on Jan. 6.
- Sophomore guard Musa Abdul-Aleem made his USF debut against Oklahoma State and scored two points in four minutes.
- USF is 4-2 at home this season and opponents are averaging just under 60 points at the Sun Dome.
- Five of the Bulls' eight opponents this season have been held to less than 60 points.
- Youngstown State has three players from the state of Florida and senior Blake Allen will be returning to his hometown. He finished his high school career at Brandon with 2,006 points, which ranked him 11th in Hillsborough County history.

A 50-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder following an alleged road rage incident.
Police believe the victim - a man in his twenties - and another motorist were involved in a minor traffic collision between a white BMW and a silver-coloured Vauxhall Astra convertible on the A30 near Launceston, Cornwall.
They were then involved an altercation and the victim suffered a stab wound to the chest.
Officers received reports of an injured man in the road at around 7.30pm last night and he was airlifted to Derriford Hospital in Plymouth.
His condition is described as stable and he has not suffered any life threatening or life changing injuries.
A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesman said: "Officers believe the victim and suspect were involved in a minor traffic collision on the A30 involving a white BMW and a silver coloured Vauxhall Astra convertible before the altercation.
"Following subsequent investigations a 50-year-old man from Tiverton was arrested in Somerset on suspicion of attempted murder.
"He remains in police custody."

To My Unborn Grandchild
I have been knitting a yellow blanket, careful not to show any preference as to sex. Grandchild, whether boy or girl, I want you with a greed, a longing I have never felt so strongly before, even with my own children.
I want to love you and to supply in your life a special place. To be like a playhouse near your home, a place not without rules or standards, but different and smaller and less demanding than home. I want to sing with you and talk with you and read to you—as my mother did with my children.
I want to give you so much: time, toys, warm clothes, attention. I realize, however, that the most important gifts I can offer I have given you already, through your father, my son. Penny Allen, Bountiful, Utah
D&C 25: They're My Priorities, Too
One of my most difficult struggles as a wife and mother is finding time for all my commitments. But a class I attended recently has helped. The instructor used section 25 of the Doctrine and Covenants, the revelation given to Emma Smith, to explain a woman's priorities. Our first responsibility, found in verse two, is to our Heavenly Father as his daughter: We should develop those talents and inclinations that will aid us in our goal of exaltation—we should be "faithful and walk in the paths of virtue before [him]." A woman's second priority is to her husband, as a wife. Verse five counsels Emma to be "a comfort unto my servant, … thy husband." A woman's third priority is her children, as a mother, in the fulfillment of her family duties (see also verse five). The fourth priority is to one's church calling. In verse seven the Lord told Emma that she would "be ordained under his hand."
This explanation of priorities has helped me keep the right emphasis in the right place. Nancy R. Gunn, Salt Lake City, Utah
Lesson in Reverence
Several years ago, I was teaching the CTR B Class in Primary. Seven-year-olds can be trying at the best of times, but one warm spring afternoon, teaching them even one concept seemed virtually impossible.
I was on the verge of losing control when I was prompted to ask the children to kneel with me in prayer so we could prepare ourselves to have a lesson.
After the prayer, the children were ready to conduct themselves in a reverent manner and to participate in the class. I'm not sure if the children remembered the lesson concept, but they certainly remembered the prayer. After that, when the class found themselves getting unruly, they would often ask if we needed to kneel in prayer for the help of our Heavenly Father. Janice K. Aubrey, Salt Lake City, Utah

Mockumentary Tracks The Oreo Cookie Production Process In Reverse [Video]
How It's Unmade turns the well-known TV show on its head to disassemble sandwich cookies with a comedic narration.
How It's Made is a popular documentary television show that provides a look at how common, everyday items, such as food and commercial products, are manufactured.
How It's Unmade is the satirical spin-off from the YouTube channel Jerk Circle Media that takes an episode from the documentary series on the making of Newman-O's sandwich cookies (not Oreos) and plays it in reverse. In the process, this parody video shows how uneaten cookies are disassembled to be harvested for their natural resources.
Along the way, the comedic narration informs the viewing audience that the unmaking of these cookies requires the work of actual wizards and results in the country's main supply of flour, cocaine, and gunpowder.
Take a look at the full five-minute clip below, but be advised that the video contains some NSFW language.

Once an icon of the American west, bison are now hazed through costly government-driven efforts and killed in droves around Yellowstone National Park during the winter. Their crime: migrating outside of the park's borders onto public and private land in Montana, searching for food.
One technique proposed for combating "urban sprawl" is increasing population densities.

Kylie fights for second in Christmas singles race
Page Tools
Kylie Minogue is in a race for second place on the British Christmas singles chart now that the reworked Band Aid charity song Do They Know It's Christmas is all but guaranteed the coveted No. 1 spot.
Bookmakers William Hill stopped taking bets on the Band Aid single to become the top Christmas tune two months ago.
They now tip Kylie's upbeat I Believe In You and the Ronan Keating and Cat Stevens duet Father and Son as the most likely runners-up.
"Band Aid is outselling Ronan Keating and Kylie by five to one on a daily basis so it's absolutely sure-fire to be No. 1," Rupert Adams, a William Hill spokesman, said yesterday.
"In terms of No. 2, if Father and Son wins, we'll probably have a nigh on six-figure payout," he added.
But some stiff competition could come from Kylie, who jumped straight into the No. 2 spot in last week's charts with her latest release.
"It's neck and neck at the moment," said Gennaro Castaldo, a spokesman for HMV. "My feeling is it's likely to be Kylie Minogue. It's a very lively, great song - very catchy and likely to be played at the parties a lot.
"The Ronan Keating song is very melancholic and mournful.
"Although it sometimes plays well at this time of year it doesn't necessarily have the kind of zest you want for a Christmas song."
Morrissey's I have forgiven Jesus, Bo Selecta's double A-side Proper Chrimbo and rapper Ice Cube's You Can Do It are also long-shot contenders, William Hill said.
The contest for top Christmas album is less clear cut.
Bookies say British crooner Robbie Williams holds a slight edge over Irish rockers U2, who recently topped charts around the world with their How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb album.

It was the greatest electoral triumph for Eton school since Harold Macmillan won the 1959 election. After half a century, the toff is back on top. Boris Johnson's victory in the vote for London mayor may have owed as much to a wish to rub Gordon Brown's nose in the mud as to his own personality and politics, but the fact remains that once again one of Britain's most successful politicians wore a tailcoat and a wing collar to school, and spoke in slang they probably don't understand in the Queen Vic.
Boris's victory had been predicted for 24 hours, though when the moment came his margin was lower than almost anyone expected. He responded with a victory speech that might have been written purely to have the sobriquet "gracious" slapped on to it. He praised Ken Livingstone, "a distinguished public servant", the man who truly spoke for London after the 7/7 bomb attacks. "You have the thanks and admiration of millions of Londoners, even if they have a funny way of showing it," he said. "To the vast multitude who voted against me, I shall work to earn your trust," he added. Etonians do tend to be alarmingly polite, even to their enemies.
Ken must have felt bitter. In 2000, he was first elected as an independent, beating the Labour party machine and its chosen candidate. Then he was grudgingly taken back into the party. This week it was the same Labour party that dragged him down to defeat. In the American west, they teach a dog not to kill the poultry by strapping the rotting carcase of a chicken round its neck. Ken had Gordon Brown trussed round his neck, and the voters hated the whiff.
There was another irony. The nerve centre of the whole operation was City Hall, what the new mayor calls "the glass testicle". It stands on the Thames with sensational, 360-degree views of the City and Docklands. For a leftie sectarian, Ken has always had a lot of admiration for the men with the money.
"Let's get cracking tomorrow, and let's have a drink tonight," said Boris, who gave up booze for the course of the campaign. Ken then thanked "everyone" - politician-speak for "me" - for "setting this city on the path of being the greatest city of the 21st century". As the competition for Most Graceful Speech hotted up, he added: "Boris, the next few years are going to be the best few years of your life!"
It had been a long night. Admittedly there had been a record number of votes. But computers had been brought in to delay the process, taking hour upon hour to do what human beings equipped with moistened fingers could have managed in a morning.
Bit by bit the machines reluctantly fed out some of the numbers they had crunched, and it soon became clear that it was the leafy parts of the capital - Bexley, Bromley, Barnet and the rest - with their superior turnouts that had defeated the inner city and the East End.
"Constituencies", the 14 areas into which London had been divided, swung firmly to the Tories, so that areas Ken had just held in 2004 went for Boris, and places where the Conservatives had been fractionally ahead were going two to one to Boris.
It would be nice to think that Boris will now perform all his duties in a silk hat, and insist on having fags to toast crumpets in the mayoral office. But clearly there is to be no such triumphalism. His first decisions are more likely to be concerned with bendy buses.

Hernandez flees; Holm beats sub
Ringside by Chris Cozzone
Holly Holm (26-1-3, 7 KOs) finished the night with another victory, but it wasn't over Melissa "Huracan" Hernandez. Tonight at Isleta Casino & Resort, shortly before the main event was scheduled to go, Hernandez bailed out on her pound-for-pound showdown with Holm, fleeing the building with the excuse that that she would not fight, her corner not having seen Holm wrap her hands. Despite not having been available during Holm's hand-wrapping, and regardless of offers to re-wrap, Hernandez took her gear and fled. Replacing Hernandez on a literal last-minute, Victoria Cisneros (3-8-2) stepped in to fight Holm. Though losing virtually every round, Cisneros gave a game performance, to lose with scores of 100-90 and 99-91 twice. On the undercard: Suzannah Warner (9-8) won a split decision over Jodie Esquibel (5-5-1) to retain her NABF minimumweight title. David Proa (6-1, 6 KOs) retired after two rounds in a six-rounder against Robert Guillen (5-4-3); Jessica Sanchez (1-1-2) and Amanda Crespin (0-1-1) fought a four-round draw; Michael Brooks (2-0, 2 KOs) TKO'd Christian Bruffy-Holmes (0-1) at 1:45 of round two. Stay tuned for full report tomorrow.

I ran a buddies stock 04' STi in Phoenix and we were pulling very low 13's all night (13.0-13.1)... we were running 100 octane fuel with absolutely NOTHING done to the car aside from good driving.
If yu want power, then upgrade; but STi's are capable or very close to being capable of 12's pretty stock. Im not trying to be an ass here but 13.8 isn't to great IMO, even at 5000 feet. Post up your 60ft and MPH times. Remember (dont take this as a theory either) that every 0.1 off your 60ft time is ~0.2 off your overall ET.

There's no reason a well driven run won't be in the 12s.

Broadcom Unveils New Line of Enterprise Switch SoCs
Bangalore: Broadcom Corporation, a global innovator in semiconductor solutions for wired and wireless communications, announced a new line of switch system-on-a-chip (SoC) solutions optimized to address workforce mobility and evolving network requirements in the enterprise. Broadcom's new StrataXGS BCM56340 Series delivers a broad range of innovative features that simplify the provisioning and monitoring of mobile user traffic while providing secure, seamless and high-speed connectivity to the data center and cloud-computing storage resources.
As the number of connected devices and emergence of cloud-based applications continues to climb, demand for higher-bandwidth enterprise networks is growing at a rapid pace. With the trend toward bring-your-own-device (BYOD) in the workplace, enterprise IT managers must adapt with scalable, affordable, secure platforms in a unified infrastructure.
"IT organizations are under increasing pressure to provide access to applications and data from anywhere, at any time, via any device," said Matthias Machowinski, Infonetics Directing Analyst, Enterprise Networks and Video. "Bandwidth, integration and intelligent security features that scale to a large number of users are among the top requirements. Broadcom's latest innovation for the enterprise should strengthen the company's position as a leading supplier in this space."
Built on the proven StrataXGS architecture, the BCM56340 Series delivers more than 120 Gbps of line-rate performance with large forwarding tables, to meet the needs of a growing mobile user base in enterprise campus networks. App-IQ security intelligence distributes enterprise firewall capabilities among all access ports, eliminating network bottlenecks and delivering increased application visibility. Control and provisioning of wireless access points (CAPWAP) tunnel port capabilities provide seamless unified wireless/wireline integration. These highly integrated products combine a 48-port gigabit Ethernet (GbE) switching core, a dual-core ARM A9 CPU, and energy-efficient 10GbE SerDes uplinks into a single chip solution.
"Mobile device use in the enterprise continues to scale at a dramatic rate, straining the network in terms of bandwidth, data security, and connectivity to services. IT managers are seeking solutions to enable a considerably more agile and secure network," said Ram Velaga, Broadcom Vice President and General Manager of the Core Switching Group. "Our new StrataXGS devices are designed from the ground up to address these challenges, delivering maximum stackable port density and performance, distributed security intelligence, and unified switching across LANs, WLANs, and data centers – all in a single chip solution."

Breaking Boxes(1997)
A novel by A M Jenkins
Winner of the 14th annual Delacorte Prize, Breaking Boxes just may break your heart. It's the story of a loner named Charlie Calmont, his older brother Trent, and how they get by after both of their parents are gone. Most of the time Charlie feels lucky: Trent never hassles him, and, for the most part, they get on fine with fish sticks and canned vegetables. The calm disappears, though, when Charlie gets suspended for fighting with guys at school who care more about the kind of shoes he wears than who Charlie is on the inside. In this alternately heart-warming and heart-breaking tale, A. M. Jenkins tells what happens to Charlie after he befriends one of the guys who tried to beat him up. What is a friend, anyway? How will Charlie, who's never had many friends, know when it's appropriate to open his heart for a new friend or when it's time to shut himself off from the world and act cool? Charlie Calmont is a teenage loner. His parents are gone and except for his older brother, Trent, he doesn't need anyone, especially friends. But when Charlie ends up suspended after a school fight, he meets Brandon Chase, and things begin to change. Even though privileged Brandon hangs with the moneyed crowd, Charlie discovers there's a real person underneath the rich kid exterior. For once, Charlie makes a connection, and allows himself to care. Until he reveals something about Trent . . . and Brandon turns away.

Bertone Suagna & Fioravanti Skill Fiat Punto Concepts
Bertone and Fioravanti, both of which have a long-standing relationship with Fiat, have devised Punto convertibles with retractable hardtops.
The new Fiat Grande Punto has proved a popular basis for new works from the Italian design houses. Bertone's take, made in association with the German company CTS (Car Top Systems), is the Suagna, a four-seater with a hinged two-piece roof that is contained within the a regular trunk length. Leonardo Fioravanti, who designed some of the greatest Ferraris (and recently provided the flip-top for the SuperAmerica) has found a more novel solution for the Skill. Figuring that the rear seats of these small convertibles are rarely of much use, he has made a two-seater in which the roof stows vertically, leaving space behind for a retractable rear window and an uncluttered load area which he presents open, pick-up style.

The Jekyll and Hyde offense of Georgetown College's softball team was in full form Wednesday afternoon. After the Tigers managed just five hits in seven full innings of a one-run loss, they turned around and tore the cover off the ball for 14 hits and an 8-0 mercy-rule win.
Senior Chelsea Riney had the highlight of the onslaught as she connected on a 0-1 pitch in the bottom of the fourth for her first homerun of her career. After twice hitting the top of the center field fence this season, the outfielder finally got more than enough lift to send it out of the park.
"It was a wild feeling," Riney said. "You don't ever want to say you are focusing on doing something like that, but in the back of my mind I wanted to see that happen this season. To get so close a couple of times and not have it happen has been frustrating, but that hit felt really good. Add to that the way that we played and hit as a team, and it is all the more sweet."
Riney also supplied the Tigers with the only run they needed when she hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the second to score Cassidy Taylor. Her solo home run gave GC a 3-0 lead after four innings. Then Georgetown extended the advantage with four runs in the fifth and the winning run in the sixth.
Marissa Massie lined a single into left-center field with the bases loaded bringing home Shelby Engle to end the game.
Engle also picked up the win in the circle, going six innings with seven strikeouts and allowed just three hits.
The sophomore pitcher helped her cause from the plate all day, going 3-for-4 with two runs scored. Taylor Shaw was 3-for-3 with three RBIs. Massie was 2-for-3 with two runs scored and two RBIs. Ashley Coppage was 2-for-3 and Emily Snow was 2-for-4. Taylor and Riney both finished 1-for-3. Riney had two RBIs and one run, while Taylor had one run scored.
Georgetown's games Friday with University of Rio Grande have been postponed due to weather so the team will not play again until Tuesday when it hosts St. Catharine College for a doubleheader. First pitch is set for 3 pm.

The Rwandan government has announced plans to scrap sales taxes (VAT) on mobile phones, although that was then offset by a rise in the excise duty on airtime from 5 to 8 percent. The airtime tax will also be progressively raised to achieve harmony with regional countries - where the rate averages between 10 and 12 percent. The airtime duty is on top of sales taxes, which ranges from 16 percent to 18 percent - ranking the East African region as one with the highest calling rates in the world.
The East African Communications Organisations (EACO) has been calling for the excise duty to be scrapped, saying that lower call costs would lead to higher volumes, and hence higher net taxable revenues via the sales tax.
Price Water House Coopers (PWC), a global consultancy firm said the removal of VAT on petroleum products and mobile handsets demonstrates the government's progress in harmonizing its laws with those of other East African Community (EAC) countries.
While the removal of VAT on mobile handsets will make handsets cheaper, PWC says 3 percent increase in excise duty on airtime is likely to have a negative impact. "The mobile handset suppliers may be unable to claim all their input VAT, and as a result may attempt to pass on this additional cost to their customers," the firm said in a statement.
Import duties on SIM cards are also expected to be scrapped in the near future.

UN Asst. Secretary-General Calls On President Sirleaf
MONROVIA, Feb 14 (LINA) - The United Nations Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Mr. Edmond Mulet, Friday paid a courtesy call on President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf at her Foreign Ministry Office.
According to an Executive Mansion release, Mr. Mulet, who was accompanied by the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) in Liberia, Karin Landgren, is in Liberia as part of a Strategic Review Team that is looking into UN peacekeeping, as the transition and drawdown of the UN Mission in Liberia moves ahead.
He will visit Nimba and Grand Gedeh Counties, before proceeding to Côte d'Ivoire to assess the situation there as the peacekeeping force in that country, ONUCI, also draws down.
Mr. Mulet informed President Sirleaf that the Strategic Review Team has been holding meetings with various interlocutors in Liberia, including legislators, political parties and civil society groups on such national issues as security, reconciliation, constitutional review and electoral reform, as well as on regional cooperation.
He briefed the President on the Team's findings, which will be reflected in the next Report of the Secretary-General on Liberia.
SRSG Landgren encouraged the government to work with UNMIL on innovative ways on redeploying its investments during the transition.
Responding, President Sirleaf described the Team's assessment of the Liberian situation as quite broad and deep in content, and elaborated on the government's position on security sector reform and the pace of the UNMIL drawdown.
She also spoke on the work of the Independent National Commission on Human Rights regarding reconciliation and the Palava Hut Initiative; the work of the Constitutional Review Committee; and on the high level of regional cooperation.
Present at the meeting, and responding to questions, were Dr. H. Boima Fahnbulleh, National Security Advisor; Morris Dukuly, Minister of Internal Affairs and Cllr. Wheatonia Dixon Barnes, Acting Minister of Justice.
