The Totally NEW Team Corwin Thread
View Single Post
October 31st, 2012, 17:59
So I've been spending a lot of time doing this Mabar Festival stuff. I decided to spend the motes on eternal wand of undead and upgraded it. What a waste of motes! That thing is definitely weaker then my eternal finger fire wand. I'm not sure if its worth upgrading it beyond level 5. Any suggestions on items to get/upgrade from Mabar?
Also are there any spell types that work on all monsters, besides force because those spells are weak compared to my fireballs/fire ray(?). I was thinking of maybe adding some lightning spells but not sure if creatures could save against them, especially blackbone…most annoying creatures next to grey oozes.

There is a glaring exception: institutions of higher learning which, with minimal restrictions, continue to accept — often gleefully — the sponsorship of outside interests whose purposes are remote from the promotion of knowledge and wisdom and of those skills and insights that will enhance our humanity. The large number of such sponsorships by businesses and the military-industrial complex threatens to overshadow the original purpose of Stanford University and other universities.
History Professor David Kennedy and Engineering Professor William Perry last week proposed to the Academic Senate that Stanford do its part to provide our country with military officers lest our age-old tradition of the citizen soldier be seriously compromised. The proposal was to create a committee to review the possibilities of returning ROTC to the Stanford campus, and the committee has begun to meet.
Strangely, they do not call for a reinstituting of military conscription, which would seem an obvious way to achieve a citizen army.
Such an army, which may or may not be a "tradition," is a problematic concept to begin with. Both napoleon and Frederick the Great claimed to have such an army: Napoleon was certainly closer to the truth. In the early years of its operation Napoleon's ventures had a liberating effect for many of Europe's peoples, yet it later in its metamorphosis became an instrument of autocracy.
But perhaps more to the point today's military forces feature un-manned aircraft, privately-contracted "militias" and other methods of warfare (and the killing of those who are not soldiers) that put such concepts as "citizen army" back into mothballs.
We are somewhat shy about admitting that today's "volunteer" army may be other than that. By their own testimony, many of those who enlisted simply couldn't find a decent job elsewhere. What does "citizenship" mean in a society characterized by extremes of wealth and various expressions of discrimination?
And, if a note of cynicism is permitted, does the army provide something of a cushion for problem that need to be solved elsewhere — as in federally financed work programs? Someday a faculty committee, drawing from many disciplines, will study possibilities for moving from a "security state" to (for want of a congenial term) a "facilitating state."
It's pointed out that the Vietnam War brought strong anti-war feelings to Stanford (as elsewhere). The university was implicated in ways not always acknowledged: There was forbidden usage of Stanford computers by SRI for programming amphibious landings in North Vietnam. Close ties with the military and with agencies that make Dwight Eisenhower's warnings about the military-industrial complex look naive are persistent and will continue to be.
It is hard to believe that the military has not profited from Stanford connections. I would like to believe that it is not just the hang-up over "don't ask, don't tell" that has crippled the relationship (as the faculty proponents suggest). Afghanistan may very well look like another misguided adventure which university-educated brains designed and that, despite the absence of a draft bringing the way close to home, opposition to killing will be a distinguishing feature of universities.
Stanford has Knight fellowships for journalists who wish to participate in studies here and it would not be remiss to establish such an opportunity for military officers and noncommissioned men. But ROTC curricula developed apart from the usual academic quality controls is something else.
And the university would, for its part, be reluctant to meddle: That sort of thing isn't done. In recent years ethics courses have proliferated on the campus and certainly there is much for military representatives to learn. Practitioners of one kind or another — talented and accomplished artists and theologians and businessmen et al — have something to teach us. No question. But this must be done within the prophylaxis, so to speak, of this last of the great guilds.
I should say, for the record, that I am myself a veteran of the ROTC. But it was the high-school variety, the Second War was raging and it was long ago and far away, in Wisconsin.
This has limited relevance — except for the impression I retained of a kind of learning that is tied suffocatingly to training manuals and which discourages any independent thinking.
We need to remind ourselves that a core principle of a great university is the fostering of critical thinking.

NEW YORK -- Andy Roddick extended his career with a dominant victory Friday night in the feature match at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
The veteran American, who announced Thursday the U.S. Open would be his last tournament, defeated Bernard Tomic 6-3, 6-4, 6-0.
But, the question is, did he get a little help from Tomic?
John McEnroe, who was doing the broadcast for ESPN2 said as much, suggesting the Australian 19-year-old should perhaps be fined.
"Tomic is teeing it up," McEnroe said. "It looks like the tank job. This is a shame. You don't like to see this. I like to see Andy win but, other than that, it's poor."
Patrick McEnroe seemed to agree, sending this tweet, "Pathetic."
And it was, indeed, a beating. Either it's the best Roddick has played in a while -- perhaps since he defeated Roger Federer at Key Biscayne in March -- or there is something to what McEnroe said.
Tomic, in his post-match press conference, initially seemed to agree with the assessment.
"Well, I think he's probably right," Tomic said.
And then, shortly thereafter, he disagreed.
"That's how I play. If you think that's that, it's up to you," he said.
And indeed, Tomic does play with an easy, languid style, appearing not to be working hard. And he uses a variety of shots, lots of slices off both wings.
Tomic had another explanation for what happened, much of it a factor of playing on 23,000-plus seat Arthur Ashe Stadium, in a night match, with a home crowd very much in the corner of the American star.
"I was a bit nervous the first set," Tomic said. "It's very difficult the first time to be in front of 22,000 people. It's very different. I'm used to playing in Australia. Here it's a bit different.
"Yeah, different feeling playing on the backcourts than playing on the biggest stage in the world, biggest country in the world. ... I felt like anything I did, I wasn't quite sure how to respond. The ball jumps on that court. It's different to the outside courts."
He also paid tribute to Roddick.
"He played very good. I couldn't do anything really," Tomic said. "He served well. I didn't have many chances to do anything."
Roddick was just enjoying the moment.
"I wasn't too concerned about what was going on over there," Roddick said. "I liked what was happening on my side of the court, and I just kind of wanted to continue that."
And he did offer a piece of advice for Tomic.
"He'll be fine," Roddick said. "I can relate a little bit. I've been in Australia before during the Aussie Open. He just kind of has to keep a little bit of perspective on it. He's going to be great one day and not so good the next day.
"If I had one piece of advice, I would tell him it's probably never as good as it seems at a given moment, and it's probably never as bad as it seems at a given moment as well."

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
Chapter 37 - An Awful Predicament
SLEEP? It was impossible. It would naturally have been impossible in that
noisome cavern of a jail, with its mangy crowd of drunken, quarrelsome, and song-singing
rapscallions. But the thing that made sleep all the more a thing not to be dreamed of, was
my racking impatience to get out of this place and find out the whole size of what might
have happened yonder in the slave-quarters in consequence of that intolerable miscarriage
of mine.

Sport Fishing in Lahore, Pakistan
Lahore is the capital of the province of Punjab, and the second most populated city in Pakistan, also known as the Gardens of the Mughals or City of Gardens, after the significant rich heritage of the Mughal Empire, It is located near the river Ravi. The river flows in India and Pakistan. It is one of the five rivers which give Punjab its name. It originates in the Himalayas following a north-westerly course. It turns to the south-west and then cuts a gorge in the Dhaola Dhar range entering the Punjab plain near Madhopur. It then flows along the Indo-Pakistan border for some distance before entering Pakistan and joining the Chenab river. The total length of the river is about 720 km. It is also called 'The river of Lahore'.
Since that great city is located on its eastern bank hence, the center of fishing activities also used to be around River Ravi and Nallah Deg, both located very close to Lahore.
Due to commercial netting and pollution in Ravi and Deg, many Lahore based anglers started to go to other fishing points located within their reach.
My grandfather used to go to Deg Nallah very frequently and 2-3 kg Rohu were abundant, and from Ravi, he would always catch fish, specially Rohu from 4-6 kg range. His biggest catch was a Pari of 17 kg from Bara Dari area of Ravi, during a night fishing trip. Lots of good memories are connected to Ravi, not only of Mughal Kings, but of Lahori anglers as well.
I think it would be best to divide my article in the following four sections, to convey a complete picture to a Lahore based angler, regarding fishing activities in Lahore.

Craig Perry says they are currently working on the storyline for the fifth 'Final Destination' film, which is said to go back to the original storyline.
During last week's 2010 ShoWest in Las Vegas, Warner Bros.' Alan Horn spilled the plan to make "Final Destination 5". Responding to the statement, ShockTillYouDrop.com has just contacted producer Craig Perry, who has been on board for the franchise from the beginning, to quiz him about the status of the project.
"If we find the right storyline - and we're working on it - then we'll take the lessons we learned from 'The Final Destination' and make the necessary improvements to deliver what audiences expect from this franchise, going back to the original," Perry shared. "What I know for sure is that it will be in 3-D and deliver inventive, suspenseful, fun kills. That I can promise!"
"Final Destination 5" will serve as the follow-up to 2009 "The Final Destination" which managed to enter at the peak of North American Box Office on its debut weekend. Starring the likes of Shantel VanSanten, Haley Webb, Nick Zano and Krista Allen, the fourth installment of the thriller franchise has summed up $185.7 million worldwide as of late 2009.

|Sentinel XS
The Übermacht Sentinel is a continually recurring series of BMW-based cars first introduced in Grand Theft Auto III and has appeared in all games since then, with the exception of Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars.
In the 3D Universe, it is a mid-size luxury 4-door sedan. The Sentinel later assumes the design of a compact two-door sports coupe/convertible in the HD Universe.
3D UniverseEdit
In GTA III and GTA Liberty City Stories, the Sentinel resembles a slightly enlarged BMW 3 Series E36 (most likely the 325i/328i) with different taillights from the larger E34 and having major influences from the newer E46. In GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories, it is based on the BMW 5 Series E28 with headlights derived from a 1984-1985 US spec Honda Accord sedan and minor styling cues from the BMW 6 Series E24. However, several significant cosmetic changes may be noted between the two games, particularly with regards to the frontal and rear fascias; even the GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories renditions are significantly different from each other, as the GTA Vice City Stories Sentinel appears less like its tuned counterpart, the Sentinel XS, which had not received the same degree of changes. In GTA San Andreas, it is primarily based on the BMW 5 Series E34, most likely the 528i, with a rectangular headlights (as opposed to E34's dual round headlights). While the Sentinel is usually a common car in the streets in most GTA titles, it is significantly rare in Vice City Stories. The GTA Advance rendition does not appear to have a clear source of inspiration for its design, but retains its slender 4-door sedan look. While the car isn't generally associated with any gang, the GTA Advance rendition is an exception, serving as the gang car for an unspecified mafia in the game, taking over the role of the Mafia Sentinel, the mafia variant of the Sentinel. At one point of GTA III's development, the Sentinel was named the "Beamer" (Beamer is a play on "Bimmer", common slang term given to BMW cars, especially the modified ones). A car of this name was previously featured in Grand Theft Auto 2, and was also based on a BMW. Meanwhile, a "Sentinal" was also in the process of development, appearing as a modern mid-size car that would go on to become the Kuruma. Both beta cars can be found in the Capital Autos website.
HD UniverseEdit
GTA IVEdit
The Übermacht Sentinel in GTA IV is now redesigned into a two-door sports coupe, based on the coupe variant of the BMW 3 Series E46 (based on its performance and styling, presumably a 2004-2006 330ci with a ZHP trim package) in chassis design, as well as the entire front, though the grille is one piece. The tail lights however, seem to be inspired by the older E36 3 Series and E39 5 Series. However it appears to have smaller body, making it also similar to the BMW 1 Series E82. Also visible are miniscule STD badges in front of the doors, near the sideskirts and front wheel wells. STD stands for "Sentinel Tuning Division", likely a play on Subaru's STi marque and BMW's in-house tuning division, BMW M, but also a reference to the acronym for "sexually transmitted disease." The format in which it is written is also similar to that of Subaru's STI division.
GTA VEdit
The Sentinel is redesigned once again in GTA V, inspired by the newer BMW 3 Series E93 convertible (based on the engine noise and performance, most likely a 330i or 335i; however, it has the design of a 328i Convertible with performance that isn't similar), with either a N52B30AB naturally aspirated petrol six cylinder engine, a N54B30TT twin turbo 6-cylinder petrol engine or a N55B30T Twin-scroll Turbocharged engine. Three of them have a rev limit of 7000 rpm similar to the Sentinel's engine rev limit of 7000 rpm. There are elements from the E92 M3. The car also has little style ques from the Lexus ISF USE20; this is noticeable in the front grille. It is available as a hard top convertible, based on the E92 coupe. The wheels featured on this model bear a striking resemblance to Volk Racing GT30 or RE30 wheels. The same wheels are shared with the Feltzer and the Fusilade.
The front face of the car has an overall appearance similar to the M3, but has some minor differences: the headlights appear more like those found on the Subaru Impreza (second facelift), and the grille is a single unit as opposed to the trademark "kidney" grille found on BMW models.
The rear of the car is based mainly on the Saab 9-3. At the rear, half the bumper width features an area filled with a secondary material. Unlike the 3-series that this model is based on, the exhaust tips sit just outside the outer edges of this area, and are oval as opposed to twin-circles.
3D UniverseEdit
With a sturdy inline-6 engine in all its appearances (with the exception of inline-4 in Vice City Stories), the Sentinel has a decent top speed and acceleration despite its heavy weight. The car handles well, although it suffers from body roll in GTA Vice City Stories. It comes with good drifting properties, although its RWD layout sometimes leads to oversteer and tailspins; these problems are more apparent in the GTA San Andreas rendition, due to its lighter weight distribution and softer suspension. In GTA San Andreas, the Sentinel's top speed of 163 km/h (101 mph) makes it the second fastest four-door car in the game. Also, the Sentinel in all games are known to be durable due to its luxury build and heavy weight, which can withstand a large amounts of damage before destroyed, making it a suitable choice for street racing, pursuits, getaways and as a cover in shootouts.
HD UniverseEdit
GTA IVEdit
As a sport compact executive coupe, the GTA IV Sentinel reaches a superb top speed of 198 mph (320 km/h) - not far from the fastest vehicles in the game. It has above-average acceleration, reaching 60 mph from a stand still in 6.5 seconds, and reaching its top speed fairly quickly as well. The Sentinel's suspension is rather soft, and it tends to roll when going around tight bends at high speed; the rear of the car also tends to bounce about when traveling on uneven roads. Its handling is above average, but at high speeds it loses a lot of grip and easily spins out of control due to the lack of weight in the rear. But if controlled right, its speed and grip can be combined to produce almost-professional like drifts that can be used to slide into sharp turns and back alleyways to evade the police without difficulty. Nonetheless, it is arguably the best choice in the Modern category in multiplayer racing.

Crash deformation at higher speeds is high (quarter panels of the car may look to be "glitched" into the wheel wells if hit hard enough), and it isn't hard with this car to make the wheels jam in crashes, but the car can withstand a surprising amount of frontal impacts without failing. This car is a good car to use in online races. This car has a very smooth feeling and doesn't feel uncomfortable when driving at any speed.

Prominent appearances in missionsEdit
GTA IIIEdit
- In the mission "Bait", Catalina has sent three Colombian Cartel death squads to kill Claude. The death squads consist of three Sentinels with four men each; the Sentinel was picked as these are the fastest and best-handling four-door vehicle (excluding emergency vehicles). Claude is directed to lead the Columbians into a Yakuza ambush organized by Asuka.
- In the mission Dead Skunk in the Trunk, Joey Leone orders Claude to take one Manana with a Leone dead body in the trunk, in the front of the Greasy Joe's Café, but there are two Forelli gang members in two Sentinels overseeing the car, the player needs to steal the car, make a run-away opposite the Forelli Brothers, and bring the car successful to the Harwood Autocrusher and Junkyard.
- In the mission Gone Fishing, if you don't kill Ray's partner in the beach, he will enter a Sentinel and make a run for it.
GTA Vice CityEdit
- In GTA Vice City, a unique black Sentinel is the target's getaway vehicle in the mission "Hit The Courier". The player can obtain the car by diligently killing the driver of the car as soon as she enters it, but must not exit the car and close its door until they enter a garage or complete the mission, as the car will lock itself again.
- Tommy is driving one when racing Hillary in the mission The Driver.
GTA San AndreasEdit
- In GTA San Andreas, Sentinels are used by the Seville Boulevard Families during "Sweet's Girl".
- Sentinels are also used as cover in the mission "The Green Sabre", when the player and Sweet must resist the onslaught of the Ballas under the Mulholland Intersection.
- It is also driven in the mission "Mountain Cloud Boys", to aid Wu Zi Mu in a series of drive-by shootings against enemy gang members.
- Kent Paul is seen driving a dark blue Sentinel to the airport in the GTA San Andreas mission Saint Mark's Bistro; a unique grey Sentinel can also be seen in the court yard of Marco's Bistro during this mission.
GTA Liberty City StoriesEdit
The Sentinel is prominently featured multiple times in GTA Liberty City Stories, all of which are depicted with a dark gray/black body color:
- A black Sentinel is featured during a cutscene in "The Guns of Leone", during which Salvatore Leone charges into the Red Light District to exert revenge on the Sindaccos, running over an unsuspecting Sindacco member on the way. The car is unobtainable as the car turns into a Mafia Sentinel after the cutscene ends.
- Four black Sentinels are prominently driven by hitmen hired by Ma Cipriani in "No Son of Mine"; as soon as the hitmen exit one such Sentinel, the player can easily attain the car. The cars are programmed to be heavy, which allows the player to push aside other cars without affecting the Sentinel's performance or trajectory.
- The same form of Sentinels mention above can also be found during "A Walk in the Park", when Roger C. Hole and his body guards arrive at Belleville Park in three such cars parked in a row. Once the player manages to kill R.C. Hole and the body guards before they reach their cars, the player can take any of the cars to their garage; otherwise, if R.C. Hole manages to flee to the second car, the car's weight is reset to normal while the first and third cars retain their heavy weight. The Sentinels also received increased health for the mission.
- The last appearance of the black Sentinel is during "Making Toni", when it serves as the player's mode of transport for the mission and is fireproof. The car can be obtained by partially submerging the car in a shallow shoreline, failing the mission; otherwise, the car is driven away by Mickey Hamfists in the end of the mission.
GTA IVEdit
In GTA IV, a Sentinel is requested as part of Stevie's Car Thefts, appearing with a uniquely candy blue and black body color, similar to that of the "XS" Sentinel. As a new Sentinel will respawn at the same spot until the player delivers one to S&M Auto Sales, the player can save one at their safehouse before delivering another.
GTA VEdit
The Sentinel is only featured in one of GTA V's missions.
- In the mission Father/Son, Michael and Franklin take Amanda's red Sentinel and use it to save Jimmy from the men who steal Michael's yacht. However, after Franklin jumps from the yatch and is caught in the Sentinel, the Sentinel's engine breaks down either due to bullet damage or overheating. This then prompts the player to take the car to Los Santos Customs to repair it, which also introduces them to car modding.

- As of patch 1.13, the Sentinel can now be purchased from Southernsanandreassuperautos.com for $95,000.
General Edit
- The names of the three Ubermacht vehicles are references to the movie "The Matrix". The Oracle is a reference to the computer program that helps humans fight the machines, the Zion is a reference to the last human city, and the Sentinel is a reference to the machines the humans are at war with.
- The Sentinel went through the most changes for a car in the entire GTA Series.
- The vehicle takes its name from the Middle English slang term sentinel which means to watch over or guarding.
- This is likely a reference to the popular culture that BMW cars are a stereotypical vehicle for wealthy people, bodyguards and gangsters.
- The Sentinel plays the following radio stations by default when entered:
- Bounce FM in GTA San Andreas.
- Liberty City Hardcore or Liberty Rock Radio in GTA IV.
- Lowdown FM or Space 103.2 in GTA V.
GTA Liberty City Stories Edit
- In GTA Liberty City Stories it has a small badge on the grille with pixelized letters on it so its hard to read of it.
GTA San Andreas Edit
- If the player purchases a Sentinel at the Easter Basin Docks in GTA San Andreas, sometimes the front registration plate will read "DO NNY", however the rear one still retains the original plate number found on every Sentinel.
- In GTA San Andreas, as referenced in the cargrp.dat file, it, alongside the Admiral and Feltzer are the gang cars of the Mafia gang, which does not spawn anywhere on the streets without glitches.
GTA IV Edit
- After collecting all thirty cars for Stevie in GTA IV, he agrees to purchase cars from Niko Bellic, with the Sentinel fetching $2,500.
- In GTA IV the Sentinel can be found with silver, gold, and black painted alloy rims, all with a chrome lip.
GTA V Edit
- The Sentinel in GTA V has a similar body to the Feltzer in GTA IV.
- If Amanda's Sentinel is taken by Franklin or Trevor in GTA V, Michael will text the player, saying "I'd put the car back before Amanda takes a contract out on you. bro" or "Amanda knows you've got her car, and she's on the warpath".
- If Franklin or Trevor drives a Sentinel stolen from a civilian to Michael's house, Michael will text them even if it wasn't Amanda's Sentinel.
- The Sentinel is one of six updated vehicles in GTA V that do not also appears in their GTA IV and its episodes models. The other vehicles are the Feltzer, the Buccaneer, the Coquette, the Police Cruiser and the Police Maverick.
- In the GTA V official gameplay trailer, Amanda's Sentinel appears as the example to customize vehicles in Los Santos Customs.
- After the 1.10 update, both the Sentinel and its XS variant have been reclassed to a "Sports" car, instead of its former "Coupes" category. The reason for the sudden category change is unknown and somewhat inaccurate due it is a compact executive coupe rather than a sports car.
- This was reverted back to the "Coupes" category, along with all of Ubermacht's vehicles, in the 1.11 update.
- If you take Amanda's Sentinel then call someone to hang out it will be locked when you drop him/her off, you can fix this by switching to another character then changing back to the character who took the Sentinel then it should be unlocked and driveable.
- This is one of three backup personal vehicles in GTA V that spawn on the street. The other two are the Bagger and the Issi.
- This is the most expensive car that can stolen off the street to keep in one's garage or sold at Los Santos Customs, tied with the Felon GT, selling for $9,500.

Penn Game Notes | Penn Football Twitter | ShopPHILADELPHIA - Unable to engineer another late comeback, the Quakers (2-4, 2-1 Ivy) fell at Yale for the first time since 2006 last week. However, the Red and Blue still control their own destiny toward a third Ivy title in the last four seasons. The first team in their way is Brown (4-2, 1-2 Ivy) as the Bears try to spoil Penn's Homecoming. The Quakers have won three straight Homecoming games (by a combined score of 103-23), but their last loss at the event was at the hands of the Bears in 2008.
Catching the Game
|None. The Quakers won't be on television, but you can still watch the game in HD on the Penn Sports Network.

|Live stats can be found here. A full recap and box score will be available at the conclusion of the game at PennAtheltics.com.
Head Coach Al Bagnoli, who has a winning record against every league opponent, has more losses to Brown than any other Ivy school. He is just 11-9 against the Bears and 7-7 against Coach Estes. Though the teams have split the last 16 meetings, Brown has won five of the last seven, including two of the last three at Franklin Field. Overall, since the first meeting in 1895, Penn owns a 56-22-2 lead in the series. Brown has won just nine of the 49 games played at Franklin Field.
Penn has won its last three Homecoming affairs by a combined score of 103-23. That broke a four-game losing streak (two of which came in overtime). But other than that stretch, the Quakers have been tremendous in front of the Homecoming crowd under head coach Al Bagnoli, winning 15 of 20 overall, including a 12-1 stretch between 1992-2004. In Bagnoli's tenure, the Quakers are 2-2 on Homecoming against the Brown Bears.
Penn's Homecoming game versus Brown will also feature a canned food drive. Fans who bring cans of food to the game will receive a free stadium cup. Fans can bring the cans to the ticket office driveway for drop off and to receive their cup.
Free Princeton Tickets and Free Round Trip
Also on Saturday, Penn men's basketball student season tickets go on sale. The first 100 students who purchase basketball season tickets will receive a free ticket and free round-trip travel (via bus) to the Penn-Princeton football game at Princeton Stadium on Nov. 3. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. and Penn will hold its annual Red & Blue Scrimmage at 10:30 a.m. The event is free and open to the public, as fans can get their first glimpse of the 2012-13 Quakers in action in the annual intrasquad exhibition—just prior to the Homecoming football game against Brown at 1 p.m.
Penn has the luxury of a crowded backfield. Senior Jeff Jack went over 1,000 career rushing yards at Yale last week and the Quakers became one of three teams in the FCS (along with The Citadel and James Madison) to have three active players with 1,000 career rushing yards. In fact, the Quakers have four different players with more than 850 career rushing yards. Brandon Colavita leads with 1,416 yards, followed by Billy Ragone's 1,312, Jeff Jack's 1,007 and Lyle Marsh's 865. If Marsh gains another 135 yards, the Quakers will be the only team in the country with four players over 1,000 career rush yards.
Penn has never been shut out at home in the Al Bagnoli era. In fact, the last time the Quakers were held without a point at Franklin Field was Nov. 18, 1989 (24-0 vs. Dartmouth), a span of 116 games.
Penn has scored 20 or more points in 16 of its last 18 Ivy games ... Penn has allowed an opening-drive touchdown just once since Nov. 1, 2008 (38 games)—Lafayette went just 14 yards to do it in the 2012 season opener ... The Quakers broke a streak of 17 quarters without forcing a turnover in the second quarter last week.
Senior quarterback Billy Ragone, who has 40 career touchdowns at Penn (17 rush, 23 pass) ranks fourth all-time at Penn in career completion percentage. Ragone was 16-for-31 at Yale last weekend and is 87-for-148 (58.8%) this season. Those numbers place him behind just three of Penn's greatest signal-callers in the school record book (see below). Ragone has completed 311 of his 540 career attempts for a clip of 57.6 percent. That trails only Gavin Hoffman (64.8%), Mike Mitchell (63.7%) and Matt Rader (59.1%).
Ragone is just 54 yards from becoming just the third player in Penn's 136-year history with 5,000 career yards of total offense. Only Mike Mitchell (5,394) and Gavin Hoffman have accomplished the feat (7,188). In addition, last Saturday, Ragone also moved up in the top 10 all-time at Penn in career pass yards, touchdowns, attempts and completions. His 177 pass yards gave him 3,634 for his career. That passed Malcolm Glover (1987-89) for seventh all-time in school history. Ragone's 31 pass attempts last week gave him 540 for his career. That moved him into sixth place at Penn as he passed Mark DeRosa (1994-95). Also, Ragone's 16 completions now give him 311 for his career which also places sixth all-time at Penn. He is four from reaching the Top 5 and matching Pat McDermott (2003-05). A complete list of Quakers approaching milestones is on page five and a list of Ragone in the school record book is below.
One Last Note on Ragone
The third-year starting quarterback, who is 7-1 at home as a starter against the Ivy League, threw five interceptions in his first 23 attempts of the season. Since that time, he has just one interception in his last 190 plays (125 pass attempts, 65 rushing attempts). He has accounted for 770 pass yards, 217 rush yards, nine receiving yards and six touchdowns in that span (last 21 quarters).
Lopano in the Record Books
Senior punter Scott Lopano, a four-year starter at the position, is moving up in the school record books. Lopano's second punt of the game last week moved him into second place on Penn's all-time punts list. He finished the game with four punts for 169 career punts—leaving him just 17 short of Rob Sims (1990-92) for the school record (186). Lopano is also just 74 yards away from the school record for career punt yards. Rob Sims (1990-92) is currently first at 6,621. In addition, Lopano's current average of 42.81 yards per punt is just slightly behind Sims' single-season school record of 43.5.
Lopano Ranked No. 15 in the Nation; Penn Ranked No. 6
If you've been keeping track of the Quakers this season, it won't surprise you to learn that entering today's game, Lopano ranks 15th in the nation in punting average and Penn ranks No. 6 in the FCS in net punting. Lopano has an average of 42.81 yards per punt this year, including five over 50 yards and a 67-yarder in the home opener against Villanova. Of his 31 punts, he has pinned 14 inside the 20-yard line and has forced 10 fair catches. Between Lopano and the coverage unit, the Quakers average 42.81 yards per punt—sixth-best in the country.
NCAA Record
No program in the history of college football—at any level—has played more games than Penn. Every time they play, the Quakers set an NCAA record. Saturday's game will be the 1,330th in the Red and Blue's illustrious history. Penn remains the only program to pass 1,300 games, hitting that mark on Oct. 31, 2009 in an overtime win at Brown. Yale is second all-time with 1,277 games played.
Social Media and the 2012 Quakers (@PennFB)
Fans can now follow the Quakers closer than ever. Fans can get an inside look into the program through twitter, facebook and extensive video. You can follow the team's daily activities through twitter (@PennFB, #PennFB, #PennPride) or on Facebook. Video throughout the season will feature highlights, press conferences and interviews with players and coaches. All video can then be found on twitter or facebook as well as the Penn Sports Network and the Penn Athletics YouTube channel (keyword: Penn Sports Network). All of this can easily be accessed at PennAthletics.com/socialmedia.
Last Time Out
This time, the Quakers could not overcome a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit as they fell to Yale, 27-13, at the Yale Bowl. Senior Andrew Holland guided the Quakers 89 yards in eight plays and found senior running back Lyle Marsh for the first touchdown of the day with 5:52 left until the half. But Yale scored the last 10 points of the first half and took a 10-7 lead into the locker room. Yale scored first in the second half when senior quarterback Billy Ragone was intercepted. The Bulldogs returned the pick 47 yards to the Penn four-yard line and needed just one play to go up 17-7 midway through the third quarter. The teams traded field goals and it was a 20-10 Yale lead heading into the final quarter. Connor Loftus' 27-yard field goal had the Quakers back within seven, 20-13, with 13:14 to play. But any thoughts of another dramatic comeback was put to rest. Yale salted off 5:15 and went 77 yards on 14 plays to put the game away. A three-yard quarterback keeper put the Bulldogs up 27-13 with just 8:01 to go. Penn never got across midfield again and fell at Yale for the first time since an overtime loss in 2006.
Up Next
One of college football's most storied rivalries continues with the 104th all-time meeting between Penn and Princeton. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. from Princeton Stadium and ESPN3.com will broadcast the game worldwide.

Go Daddy said this week that it is now managing more than 30 million domains, the latest reminder that the domain registrar has assembled one of the largest business platforms on the Internet. "Go Daddy's market share of new domain registrations is now more than 45 percent worldwide," Go Daddy chairman and CEO Bob Parsons said in a video blog.
It's surprising to me that Go Daddy's name hasn't come up in the speculation about potential acquisitions and partnerships prompted by the Microsoft-Yahoo talks. Many Americans know Go Daddy primarily for its edgy, bazoom-filled Super Bowl commercials. But the company's domain registry business is a powerful engine for acquiring customers for hosting and other Internet services. Go Daddy is aggressive

Behind all opposition to the work of God is the enemy of God--the Devil himself. Anytime Heaven advances, Hell opposes. Anytime you live to see God glorified and His church enhanced, supported, supplied, or defended, you will feel the winds of adversity in some form or another.
Nehemiah never saw the Devil himself; he only saw those who functioned as his pawns/his tools. The Devil is not only the chief enemy of God but also of God's people. He cannot attack God directly so he attacks Him indirectly, through the lives of His people who are His prized possession.
In Satan's arsenal lies a multitude of very effective weapons and from his Operations Center comes a number of very effective strategies he uses against those who would live for God and advance the work of God.
As Satan engages the people of God in spiritual warfare, Nehemiah 4 reveals three very successful methods/strategies he uses and has used for generations--Opposition By Ridicule. Through a series of five questions Sanballat and Tobiah hurl at the Jews, we find important parallels that give us insight into this effective tactic Satan uses to intimidate, embarrass, and attempt to bring the work of God to a halt--whether it is building a life for God or a work for God. Then we learn from Nehemiah what is the proper response to Satan's tactic of ridicule.
The text for this morning's sermon emphasizes something about Nehemiah and his mindset as he set out to live and work for God that runs completely counter to the current mindset of this age - especially in the minds of many of God's people who live today. Nehemiah's purpose in coming to Jerusalem was to build walls, not bridges! Forgetting that fact is to do so at our own peril. This singular, simple statement Nehemiah gives in 2:17b carries profound implications for our church's life, for our homes, and our personal lives as Christians.
We have been conditioned to think because we have heard it so much and seen so much of it, that the great and exemplary demonstration of Christian love is a bridge-building exercise, not wall-building. Bridges of all kinds to all kinds of things are being built today and is viewed as a virtuous, noble thing--one that secures the welfare of God's people. But Nehemiah discerned from the very beginning that the welfare of God's people (2:10) was dependent upon building walls as a defense, not in bridge-building (2:17). These walls were physical but they broadcasted a moral and spiritual message to those around them in that day and will do so for us in our day as well.
Listen as our pastor presents the pressing need for wall-building as well as God's wonderful invitation to you today.
"Blood, toil, sweat, tears"; an unwillingness to give up, a determination to fight and struggle through whatever the cost may be. This is what Winston Churchill offered to his nation to prepare them for eventual victory over Hitler's Nazi Germany.
This mindset is what we will see in Nehemiah as he begins his work to rebuild Jerusalem and as he encounters opposition form enemies from without and opponents from within the city. He will refuse to surrender to the enemy; He will depend upon God for final victory. They will discover the painful, yet deepening, maturing truth that there is no such thing as opportunity without opposition.
To this point, Nehemiah's battle has been invisible. He has agonized for four long months in prayer and has seen the miracle of the king's heart turned in his favor. But soon his battle, though different, will become just as real as the German bombs that targeted Churchill's England. This battle will no longer be waged only in the prayer closet: it will become a battle out in the open where everyone can see and hear.
In this portion of Nehemiah 2, our pastor points out three key components to Nehemiah's plan as he prepares for battle and how he handles the task God has laid upon his heart. These same three components need to be part of our plan as we rebuild for God--whether it is a life, marriage, home or a work for God through the local church.
The second half of Nehemiah 2 shows us how God used Nehemiah to stir the hearts of the people to begin the work of rebuilding the walls in the face of ridicule and fierce opposition. The message of this section is developed in four stages and leads us to arrive at what is the secondary lesson in this chapter and which is a key theme that will be developed not only in this chapter but throughout the rest of this book! This truth will be illustrated by the lives of three prominent adversaries to Nehemiah mentioned in our text--There is no opportunity apart from opposition!
Each child of God who purposes to build a life, a marriage, a home for God, any church congregation that is serious about advancing the cause of Christ for the glory of God must learn the vital lessons this passage teaches us! Not only will it guard you against discouragement and quitting but there are several positive benefits as well when we follow Nehemiah's example.

- 1. not impressed – 12 Sep 2010, 11:50am Report
on saturday evening after a fantastic meal in the sun cafe myself and my wife decided to visit the dalton rooms .
the place is not much different from the former walkabout apart from a lick of paint and a few comfy chairs , we were under the impression it was aiming at a more mature clientell but unfortunately the place was full of the younger drinkers !
our nite was enjoyable untill my wife who unfortunatelly smokes went outside for a smoke and was rudely asked to move away by one of the doormen , we were not impressed with the place or the attitude of the doormen and we shall not be visiting the place again ,
if you are middle age with hard earned spare cash in youre pocket go spend it in the borough across the road it is a much nicer place with out the need for doormen outside ,perhaps the dalton rooms could learn a few tips from them !

University Test Center (UC 201)
The University Test Center (UTC) is a campus facility that helps both faculty and students with their testing needs. We provide a proctored, secure, quiet, relaxing environment for test takers. When the exam is completed, we grade the multiple choice portion and provide in-depth exam analysis for faculty. Our facility gives the option for faculty to set up a multiple-day testing window, allowing more in-class instruction or learning support. This also gives students additional flexibility to organize their own test taking schedules.
Operational Pause
At the request of the president and in consultation with the Executive Committee of the Academic Senate and the Academic Affairs Leadership team, the University Test Center will not be in operation as a Test Center.
Only the Academic Test Center (FFS 210) will be utilized for Testing Services' academic-oriented testing (early-take, make-up, department-specific, extended-time accommodations and other miscellaneous examinations).
A group of faculty, staff and students will be convened early this semester to discuss the future of this facility and optimal testing for student success.
Exam Set Up Procedure:
- At the beginning of the semester complete the Semester Schedule Request form listing all exams you would like the UTC to proctor (approximate dates are fine) This is what ensures your class a spot during busy times. You can send this form to firstname.lastname@example.com
- Inform your students of the UTC procedures and the operational hours during your testing period. A rules form for your students is available below.
- The UTC can only provide Scantron forms for multiple-choice exams. Other forms or materials are not provided (i.e. bluebooks, exam booklets, alternate Scantron forms, etc.). We DO NOT make copies of exams. However, we can proctor exams utilizing those materials.
- Complete a UTC Testing Cover Sheet and UTC Scantron Answer Key (if applicable) for each scheduled exam. The Scantron Answer Key may be sent to your campus mailbox, or you can pick them up in person at the Test Center.
Cover Sheet and required exam materials are due into the Test Center no later than 3 pm the day BEFORE the exam is scheduled to begin. Earlier drop-offs are encouraged and greatly appreciated. Beginning in January 2016, required materials will be due by noon two (2) business days before an exam is scheduled to open).
Faculty forms are available through the links listed below.
- Use number 2 pencils ONLY
- DO NOT skip any numbers. (Scanner will stop reading the scantron once a number is skipped)
- Fill out 1 bubble per question. Multiple bubbles per question are automatically marked wrong.
- Deliver all needed testing materials (testing cover sheet, copies of the exam, answer key if applicable, etc.) to the University Test Center. Materials are needed by 3 pm the day BEFORE your exam begins. Same day drop offs will not be accepted. Any exams received after 3 pm will not be available for students to test until one full business day later. See finals week information and deadlines below (policies are different).
- Completed exams can be picked up by you or a designated individual (i.e. graduate assistant, department staff, etc.) after noon on the following business day. The UTC staff must know who this individual is and they must show proper, picture ID when requesting your exam materials.
- Faculty assigning their final exams to the University Test Center must have their required reservations and exam paperwork into the test center no later than 5 pm the Wednesday before finals week (last day of instruction)
- For those classes where the final exam falls on Monday or Tuesday on the University's official published schedule, the final exam will be made available in the University Test Center on Monday and Tuesday only
- For those classes where the final exam falls on Wednesday or Thursday on the University's official published schedule, the final exam will be made available in the University Test Center on Wednesday and Thursday only
- The University Test Center is offering extended testing hours that match the published exam schedule (i.e. Monday, 6:30 am - 10:00 pm; Tuesday, 6:30 am - 10:00 pm; Wednesday, 8:45 am - 10:00 pm and Thursday, 8:45 am - 10:00 pm)
- Only those courses and sections that had at least one exam administered in the University Test Center earlier in the semester are eligible for assignment of their finals to this testing facility
- Testing hours are not available on Friday during finals week - faculty exam pick-ups begin at noon that day
***Other Important Faculty Policies***
- Electronic scores reports will no longer be sent out until you have picked up your exams.
- Due to the volume of tests we administer, we now need exams to be printed in a double-sided format to save on filing space.
- If you have an SSD student, just include needed materials and information with your UTC exam materials. SSD will pick up this material from us and return it when completed.
For more information you can contact the University Test Center at firstname.lastname@example.com
Fresno State students with questions about exams assigned to this testing unit must contact their instructors. If you have questions regarding the University Test Center, please view the Student links below. Help us to keep our line moving by knowing what to expect and completing the test day checklist before you get to the counter.
YOU MUST PRESENT YOUR FRESNO STATE STUDENT ID CARD TO BE ADMITTED TO TEST. Driver's licenses are not sufficient ID for Fresno State classroom-based exams administered in this facility.
Lost your ID while testing? Ask at the check-in counter. Found cards are picked-up by Bulldog Card Office (Joyal 156) staff on a daily basis.

An extreme exhaustion now overcame Captain nemo, who had fallen back upon the divan.

As the U.S. enters its annual pause for the Thanksgiving holiday, I'm reminded of the power of the simple act of giving thanks.
Over the past many months as I've expanded the pace and reach of my travels, I've been struck by the fact that –regardless of culture—real connections happen when people say "thank you," either over a meal, at a business meeting or simply passing by on the street. In a world of racing against time, the most basic common courtesy has too often become collateral damage.
Whether at a hawker center in Singapore, a bistro counter in Paris, or particularly when being herded like cattle in an airport, the expression of "thank you" can actually be quite startling. I was reminded of this recently when, after serving on a search committee for Denison University's new president, I received written thank yous from both the chairman of the search committee and the chairman of the board. Both of them lead extraordinarily busy lives, and yet they took the time to say thank you.
The effects of thank you can be far-reaching. Studies have shown that expressing gratitude has a sort of "pay it forward' effect – people feel valued when they are thanked, and in turn, they are more inclined to not only help the person who thanked them again, but also to help others.
So quite simply, to all the Edelman clients and colleagues around the world with whom I have the pleasure to work, I say "thank you."
"I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder."

I've just watched David Cameron's first Downing Street press conference, relieved that he hadn't abandoned Tony Blair's useful innovation after five months without one. I think he did well in a difficult situation. He has good tone.
The 45-minute delay which puzzled us all was easily explained. No 10 had just heard that Linda Norgrave, the British kidnap victim in Afghanistan, may have been killed by a US grenade – by US friendly fire – not by her captors, as stated over the past 48 hours.
Well, the unpredictable nature of events, random and relentless, is what consumes so much of a modern prime minister's time. To his credit Cameron got himself properly briefed and spoke to the Norgrove family before facing my colleagues' questions. He could, I suppose, have ducked it. He could have distanced himself from the military or from William Hague, who signed off on the rescue plan. He didn't.
The emerging controversy over the revelation consumed a lot of press conference energy and is dominating the media fall-out. Not ideal, but that's life.
What else did Cameron reveal? Not a lot. You can find details on Haroon Siddique's live blog here.
It's clearer than ever that the flaws in a graduate tax have sunk it, as they did when Labour considered the option. The Browne review – about to be published – concludes it would cost too much and drive people to foreign universities, damaging ours. I fear he's right and fees will rise. Has Vince Cable had to compromise? Everyone has to, says Mr Tactful.
Cameron ducked a sharp BBC question reminding him that he accused Labour of lying when it said during the election that the Tories had secret plans to curb winter fuel payments and free bus passes. Would he repeat his pledge to protect them? He almost – not quite – did, but insisted there was no secret plan. So Labour was lying. Hmm.
Fairness? It consists of three elements, protecting the poor, not asking others to pay too much in tax and – this is the tricky bit – in asking what people deserve. You can't ask hard-working people to pay to keep others in idleness, Cameron suggested. He's right to include that element too.
I was impressed by his cunning when Bloomberg's reporter asked him to confirm that the cut in child benefit for the £44,000-plus group is actually £42,000-plus because George Osborne's emergency budget in June trimmed the allowance. In his long, flowery answer the PM conceded the point – "you are absolutely right about the threshold" – but only in a way most viewers might have missed. Tradecraft, eh?
But, as I said earlier, it's the well-mannered, understated tone which sees him through the tricky bits. He evidently listens to himself talking and corrects silliness – laughs at himself even. He is courteous, remembers the names of regional reporters as well as Nick Robinson. He even took as his final question from one Polly Toynbee – perhaps his chief media tormentor.
Asked whether he was a bit of a clique-monger and a bit too leftwing, as alleged by Lord Tebbit, Cameron condescended by suggesting the Thatcherite peer and Ukip fellow-traveller is accusing him of being too leftwing and too rightwing. No, he isn't. Norman will be cross.

Re: Re: So I drove an E30 M3 tonight...
Originally posted by Clyde@work
So which gets parked outside? The E30, the SUV or your wife's Civic? Just keep the E36 M3.
I love my E36 M3, but I have a couple quibbles with it that aren't related to the car's quality. Basically, it's the perfect example of the Ultimate Compromise Machine:
-It's a very nice car, too nice for me to drive it super hard without feeling guilty. It's also very civilized, almost too civilized.
-when significantly modded, it becomes difficult to live with in and around Pothole City U.S.A.
-It's my only car. When I break it, I walk until it's fixed.
-It's relatively expensive. The monthlies and insurance are not a problem, but track time, autox time, and mods start breaking the car budget. Still not a problem, but not what I really want to do. The car budget is closely watched by the boss (aka wife).
So, for 2/3 the price of my M3, I can have a useful car and a fun car. The useful car is nowhere close to my M3 in terms of performance and fun-to-drive potential, but it positively dwarfs the M3's potential for hauling people and animals. A 4-door M3 might make this a more debatable point if it weren't for the animal. The fun car is not half as comfortable or civilized as my M3, but it's not intended to be plush...it's intended to be DRIVEN.
We'll see how it goes. I want to drive a few more and maybe even switch cars with someone for a weekend. I want to feel comfortable with the car before I make the choice, because the car I have now is really quite excellent.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Good and clean rooms with detail to make your stay confortable. friendly and helpful staff. Close to a road that can get noisy
The room, the staff Cleanliness of the room. There were cobwebs and spiders.There was a lot of traffic noise.
Hullebrug B&B is a very beautiful historic place to stay. The room was very clean and cosy, at morning the lady of the house spoiled us with a delicious breakfast. This B&B is really a must!
Peaceful atmosphere, nice countryside, hearty and varied breakfast, very comfortable bed, pleasant hostess - altogether a very nice place to stay.
The owners where very helpful and willing to go out of their way for you! The hotel was perfect!
very nice room, nice hotel, the mannager is really trying to sort everything out. the road, besides the hotel.
Nice, cosy and frendly atmosphere with a touch of homefeeling. Very good breakfast. Better TV and TV signals. Mirror at bath very low, additional mirror for full size use. A place to put the toilet bag will also be a pluss. Else perfect.
The location was perfect for us. The staff were helpful and friendly and put themselves out to provide an early breakfast for us. Although the restaurant area was busy, the rooms were very quiet - you wouldn't have realised there were dozens of people eating close-by Rooms were a bit sparse but served a purpose. Provided one doesn't want to hang around for long in the room, they worked perfectly as a base.
The restaurant. Although the Booking.com confirmation showed Check-in from 15:00 though 'hotel' was actually closed at 15:00 but fortunately the owner saw us in the carpark. He said that check-in is now actually from 17:00.
Proximity to Lier town, pleasant reception, easy parking. Room assigned to us (75, 73 yrs) was situated under the attic. Interior of attic partly unfinished (work in progress ?) For this reason we feel price discount would have been justified.
Hotel easy to find on outskirts of Lier. Plenty parking, good breakfast and restaurant. Lier is handy for Antwerp (by train) and for several spa (sauna) (by car).centres
Spacious, nice breakfast, clean room. Staffs are friendly, speaks quite good English. Because it is in a (kind of) country side and face to small road, car noise in the night was a bit more than I estimated. Almost no bus is available (though it is mentioned in their website). No internet connection, even almost no mobile-phone network (my usb modem couldn't function).
i was passing though on a work project from france upto antwerp, must say this was one of the best hotels on the project and would also say that the steak we had was one of the best ever anywhere i had have .everything about this hotel was exellent and would recemend it and will also be visiting it again when passing leaving it and getting one not as good on my journey
Very accommodating and friendly staff, fantastic restaurant with excellent service, rooms clean and fresh and well maintained. I reccommend it. There has to be something but cannot really think of anything at moment.
Spacious room, kindness of the hosts, silence.
The breakfast was very good, the room was tidy and clean. For a business trip with very short time spent in the room, this was more than ok.
Good Bed
everything was well selected. very good materials, brilliant big bed, lovely balcony
Friendly staff, beautiful rooms, peaceful and quiet location. The breakfast was delicious. These people know the real warmth and charm of a B&B. The only thing I did not like, was the fact that we only stayed for one night. There is nothing negatif to say on this B&B

By Theresa Goffredo Herald Writer
Skagit County musician Marcia Kester has come a long way, let's say from the bottom to the top of her dream.
The bottom involved a dark world of drugs and alcohol and the temporary loss of her children. The top involves the end of the past and a new tribute show to Patsy Cline and Wynonna Judd.
The show, "Journeys of Heart and Soul: Tribute to the Queens of Country," debuts Saturday at Historic Everett Theatre.
Kester and the Three for the Road Band will focus on music of Patsy Cline and Wynonna Judd with songs by a few other female musical legends sprinkled in.
Red Curtain Foundation for the Arts, who is producing the show, said Kester's vocal talents are a match for Patsy Cline's soulful, bluesy songs.
"Mix in a healthy dose of sass and triumph, thanks to Wynonna Judd, and you've got a full evening of entertainment and inspiration," according to a Red Curtain press release.
Kester is hoping her show, and some of her own stories she will share with the audience, will inspire and "encourage others to follow their passions no matter their age or challenges."
"My upcoming show is being created with the vision of wonderful music and the kind of entertainment that leaves people smiling and inspired that they came," Kester said in an email.
Kester went through years of drug and alcohol abuse and her two children were taken away from her by CPS for a time. Kester pulled herself out of this mess by returning to school and following her passion to perform.
Kester has since received the Lewis Award at Skagit Valley College, an annual award given to the student who exemplifies high ethical and moral standards, compassion for others and a desire to learn.
Kester said the past seven years — especially the last five — have been a "breathtaking ride and sharing stories along the way has been an important part of this music journey."
Kester is a favorite at Historic Everett Theatre's Hometown Hootenanny concerts. She is backed by her Three for the Road band made up of professional local musicians Duane Trueblood on bass guitar and keyboards, Pat Rowe on pedal steel and lead guitar and Steve Smith on drums.
"Journeys of Heart and Soul: Tribute to the Queens of Country" begins at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Historic Everett Theatre, 2911 Colby Ave., Everett.
Tickets are $13 and $16.50. Go to brownpapertickets.com or call the box office at 425-258-6766. The box office opens at 6:30 p.m. the day of the show.
