Area Football - Frazee rambles through LP-A
Friday was a classic Highway 10 clash, with a good crowd on hand, good fall weather and lots of excitement on the football field.
One year ago, Lake Park-Audubon traveled to Frazee on a very similar night and walked away with a come-from-behind win, which featured 65 combined points being scored.
Although this past Friday didn't involve a big comeback by the Raiders, it was still a game where 66 points were put up, as Frazee took this one 43-23.
LP-A entered the night with one of the top-rated quarterbacks and wide receivers in the state, junior QB Mason Swegarden and receiver Jon Olson.
Swegarden had already thrown for 400 yards entering the night, while Olson was at the 250-yard mark after just two games.
Swegarden and Olson were still a potent combination Friday night, connecting with each other five times, but the Hornets' defense really stepped up by forcing pressure on the quarterback and picking off three passes.
When the dust settled, it was the Hornets who put up the best numbers in the air, with Bachmann going 10-15 for 187 yards and three TDs, with only one interception thrown.
In terms of the ground game, the Hornets rushed for an impressive 319 yards, with Bruce Lemon tallying 237.
Three players found their way to the end zone on the ground in Lemon, Bachmann and Moltzan. The young Hornet line (three of the five starters are sophomores) performed well, while the backs and receivers stepped up with some great secondary blocking.
"In a football game, the battle of the trenches is going to be at the heart of success, whether the line is providing running lanes for the backs or time for the quarterback to throw," said Frazee head coach Jim Rader. "The team which wins the line of scrimmage will win nearly every football game, barring strange circumstances.
"Sadly, the players on the offensive and defensive line are seldom given enough credit for the work they do, as we always tend to hear about who scores. I have always disliked that aspect of sports, because it fails to give credit to the people who make it possible... the rest of the team."
With Lemon's big 237-yard rushing game, the Hornets were able to control possession for the most part, while Bachmann attacked the Raider defense from the air. He hit each of Tyler Ziegler, Hesston Bachmann and Jordan Ketter on scoring passes.
Swegarden finished with 132 yards passing, by going 9-23 with one touchdown and three interceptions. Frazee defenders who had a pick included Baxter Bachmann with two and Zach Nelson with the third.
Nate Renner did find some success on the ground for LP-A, rushing for a team-high 156 yards on 23 attempts. Tim Brekken rushed for 71 yards on four carries and a touchdown, while Swegarden contributed the other rushing TD.
Mat Pepper led the way for the Raider defense with nine solo tackles and one assisted, while Olson had eight solo tackles.
Frazee's leading tacklers were Ketter, Nelson and Erik Moltzan, each with six.
LP-A (1-2) will travel to Fosston (0-3) Friday at 7 p.m. and Frazee (2-1) will be on the road at Red Lake County (2-1) Friday as well.

The minute I saw these adorable bird planters from West Elm, I knew I wanted to make them fly fly fly away Aren't they the cutest?! I've been all about adding more plants to our home, both inside and outdoors, and these little nesting bird hanging planters are perfect to add green and a touch of whimsy to your home!
And you know, I am nesting, they are nesting – everybody is now nesting in our home 😉 I wanted to keep the feel very natural and soft, so I used some leather lace + unfinished wood beads/rings to create a little "nest" for these planters. But of course, you know me, I couldn't help but add a bit of color to them too!
Now fly, fly away little birdies
1. Cut a piece of wire long enough to thread 16 beads, and thread your beads on it. For the small birds, I used 16mm beads, for the medium birds I used 20mm beads and for the larger birds I used 25mm beads.
2. Cut two pieces of leather string of 52 inches long for the medium and big birds (for the smaller birds, 40 inches is what I did). But it can be longer or shorter depending on how low you want your bird to hang.. Thread them through your wood ring, and mark them where you'd like your bird to hang – where you'll make the nots to the nest. I marked mine at about 19 inches for the medium/big birds and at about 11 inches for the smaller birds.
3. Knot the strings to your nest making a simple knot every 4 beads. Be careful not to mix your strings as you do that!
4. Put a little bit of glue on the inside beads closest to the knots and glue your bird in place so it will not fall.
5. Check your birds balance by holding it up in the air. Re-tie any knot as needed.
6. Once you know your bird is well balanced, make a gathering knot right below the wood ring as well as below the bird with a piece of leather of a different color for contrast. Take one piece and form a loop. Take the right-hand section of cord and wind it tightly round – you should do this about 6 times. Now take your bottom-tail and thread it through the loop at the bottom. Pull on the upper tail, and keep pulling until tight. Trim the ends as needed.
7. Make another gathering knot below your bird. Trim the ends as needed.
8. Add your plant to the planter. Voila – you're done!
Disclaimer:West Elm partnered with me for this post and provided the bird planters for this shoot. I received no compensation. All ideas and thoughts in this post are my own. All pictures by This Little Street.
Wow, these are so adorable! I really love this idea, I've been having it in the back of my mind for quite some time to get some hanging planters up around the house, thanks for the inspiration! : )

'Real Housewives' Teresa Giudice Denies Calling Melissa Gorga's Daughter 'Ugly'
"Real Housewives of New Jersey" breakout star Teresa Giudice has denied claims made by her co-star Melissa Gorga that she called her niece "ugly."
The 40-year-old reality TV star took to her personal website on Monday, where she dismissed her 33-year-old sister-in-law Gorga as being a liar for telling the tale. Gorga suggested that she mocked her 7-year-old daughter Antonia's physical appearance.
"Melissa is using our children in public, telling lies about them, to try and hurt me. Please Melissa, say whatever you want about me, but leave innocent children out of this!" Giudice wrote in a blog post on TeresaGiudice.com.
Giudice went on, writing about "the evil story [Antonia's] mother told to a magazine about me calling her 'ugly'...It's absolutely NOT TRUE. I adore you Antonia, and I adore Gino and Joey. You are my blood. You are Gorgas. You are beautiful inside and out!"
Gorga, who is married to Giudice's estranged brother Joe, claimed that when she signed Antonia to a modeling agency, Giudice quipped, "I heard Antonia got accepted. Yeah the ugly kids always get picked," according to Us Weekly magazine.
The mother of three took to Twitter shortly after Giudice blasted her claim regarding Antonia as an "insane lie."
"Did T seriously write a whole lying blog about my daughter? This is why I'm moving. Always about her. #enoughalready," Gorga tweeted.
The pair, although once close, has been at odds and embroiled in a bitter feud throughout seasons three and four of the hit Bravo TV show.
During the season four finale episode, Gorga accused Giudice of plotting with outsiders to embarrass her at the Posche fashion show. Giudice allegedly asked Angelo Vrohidis- a former manager of a gentleman's club- to expose Gorga's alleged past as a stripper.
The allegations reignited their bitter feud.

It is unusual indeed in this day and age to feel compelled to write an excellent personal and professional review of most professionals. However, I am driven to do just that in this brief overview of Dr. Lynn Pangburn.
I have know Dr. Pangburn for thirty four years. In this time she has distinguished herself as an amazingly diverse and insightful person. Her patients are, in her mind, unique individuals in search of advice and solutions. As they are soon to discover, they have come to the right doctor.
Dr. Pangburn has given me physical and mental relief from a variety spinal and related muscular conditions. She imparts therapy, procedures and medical advice in a targeted, understandable and effective manner. Knowing your stuff, so to Speak, is one thing, but being able to impart that knowledge is quite another. Clearly, these are but a few of her strengths.
What sets Lynn apart from the "pact" is her ability to think outside of the box. As a fitness expert she teaches her patients the value of proper resistance training and targeted cardiovascular work. Her knowledge of nutrition is second to none. There is a true continuity of purpose in her approach to optimal health. This interdisciplinary mind set allows her to create a "healthy living blueprint".
I can recommend no one more highly to you.See MoreRead Less"

RISC-based COM with integrated graphics
Eching/Nuremberg, Germany, February 14th - In time for the Embedded World exhibition, Kontron introduces the EB8347, a new Computer-On-Module that complies with the E²Brain standard for RISC-based COMs which was published 6 months ago. The E²Brain (Embedded Electronic Brain) EB8347 is based on Freescales MPC8347 processor (or optionally the MPC8347E) with Security Engine; its dazzling features include an integrated DVI graphics port, TTL flat panel interface, two USB 2.0 ports (480 Mbit/s), and 1008 MIPS @ 533 MHz. For the first time, two functions can be integrated into an E²Brain-based RISC system: sophisticated HMI, and real-time controls. With this level of functionality, the EB8347 is in harsh environments an excellent alternative for x86-based COMs. The virtues of RISC shine through: excellent computing power with minimal power consumption, extremely robust mechanical design with an extended temperature range of 0°C to 70°C (optionally -40°C to +85°) and availability of seven years or more.
Potential applications for the new E2Brain module can be found in the automation, medical technology, energy, defense, or transportation & automotive industries, to name but a few. Examples in the transportation industry include cockpit computers in cars and trains, construction machinery, or even yachts. Thanks to the maturity of the module technology, OEMs that use the EB8347 can concentrate on their core competences and significantly reduce their time to market.
Besides the attractive MPC8347 processor with integrated user interfaces, the E2Brain EB8347 boasts two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and up to 256MB directly soldered fast DDR-SDRAM. Additional features include up to 64MB Flash, E²Prom for user and configuration data, 4 serial ports (2 terminal ports Rx/Tx, 4x 16550-compatible), an AC97 audio interface, and an interface for CompactFlash storage cards (slot on the carrier board). Furthermore, RTC, Watchdog, and temperature sensors are on board. Customer-specific expansions are connected via LPC and/or 32 bit, 33/66 MHz PCI bus interfaces. The board requires only a single 3.3 volt power supply.
An operating system-independent boot loader with network support and a Linux and VxWorks board support package are available as software support.
In-system programming is possible via an SPI interface (Serial Peripheral Interface). A JTAG/BDM interface for debugging and on-board programming round out the feature set for the developer. The E²Brain EB8347 will be available from April 2006 and evaluation baseboards will also be made available at this time.
About E²Brain modules (Embedded Electronic Brain)
E2Brain is the first open standard for exclusively RISC-based computer-on-modules (COM) which is supported by the E2Brain Interest Group, founded at the end of 2005. Besides the EB8347, Kontron has six more E2Brain modules, including evaluation kits. Other requirement-oriented E2Brain modules are in development, or will be made available by members of the interest group second source, as needed. With the use of standardized E2Brain COMs, users no longer need to develop a new processor core for every new device development. They can focus entirely on their real task: the design of devices and the development of specific solutions. The open E2Brain Embedded Electronic Brain standard is distinguished by its modular concept, is scalable as needed, and is open to all types of processor architecture, communication interfaces, and I/O interfaces.

I inexplicably left Wisconsin defensive end J.J. Watt out of my cluster of possible first-round picks for the Chargers in a article earlier this week about the Chargers' options in the NFL Draft. I included Watt in an earlier look at possible Chargers targets, but I think he had fallen off my radar as he had risen up draft boards.
But the Chargers could trade up to get the 6-foot-5, 290-pound defensive end who is considered pretty much can't-miss as an impact player.
News that Chargers General Manager A.J. Smith was at Wisconsin's Pro Day and paying particular attention to the defensive end's workouts prompted me to not only remember I had missed including Watt but prompted me to look at trade possibilities. (Smith, by the way, is traveling all week to see various players work out.)
Smith has a history of draft-day dealings, making at least one trade during four of the past five drafts. Last year, beginning with his monumental move up in the first round, he dealt three times, once on each day of the draft.
It still seems less likely he will move up in the first round this year, if only because there is considered great depth at the Chargers' positions of need, primarily at defensive end.
But there is one rule about Smith you must keep in mind, and means a trade is never to be ruled out: If he likes a player, he goes for him.
Did he need to go up 16 spots to 12 to get Ryan Mathews? Probably not. There were rumblings the Seattle Seahawks were interested at 14, sure, but the first real threat was thought to be Houston at No. 20. Smith loved Mathews and wanted to be sure.
Did Smith need to go up 25 spots to 37 to get Eric Weddle in 2007? My love of Weddle is well-known, but the answer is almost certainly not. But Smith actually started calling teams situated higher than 37 and found his first taker in the Chicago Bears at that spot. To get Weddle, Smith parted with the 62nd, 93rd and 167th picks in the '07 draft and the Chargers' third-round pick in 2008.
Did Smith need to move into the third round for Jacob Hester in 2008? Do I really even need to answer that? But he had fallen head over heels for the "football player" and sent a 2009 second-rounder and 2008 fifth-round pick to the New England Patriots just to make sure he got his guy.
So ...
With more ammunition than ever, in the form of two second-round and two third-round picks, Smith might just be willing to move up to take Watt, Texas A&M outside linebacker Von Miller, both expected top-10 picks. Or maybe he would move up from three or six spots if he felt it was necessary to get Robert Quinn, Cameron Jordan or another player.
There might be willing partners. Just a thought: More than half the teams picking in the top 10 could be considered in need of a quarterback but might not believe a top-10 pick is merited for this year's crop of QBs.
And while we have all identified what we think are the Chargers' myriad needs, the fact is they don't have an abundance of holes. This team was a couple fumbles, a couple blocked punts and one game with a couple kickoff returns for touchdowns away from having at least the more victories.
Smith could package the 18th pick with the 50th pick (18th in the second round) to move up six or eight spots. That would leave him still with the 61st overall pick (29th in the second round). Or he could feel he only needs to move up a couple spots and, thus, package the 18th and 82nd pick, which would leave him with both his seconds and a third (89th overall).
There are a lot of possibilities, and they will remain so right through the draft's few hours.

Super Bowl ads cost $4 million per 30-second spot and reached roughly a third of the US population last night. The loosening of advertising regulations for Florida lawyers, however, came too late for the big game this year.
The Florida Bar had petitioned for changes back in July 2011, but the Florida Supreme Court did not issue their decision until January 31, 2013, allowing attorneys to characterize the quality of legal services offered with information about past results. Attorney advertising, however, must be objectively verifiable. I cannot necessarily just claim to be "successful," but I can give numbers of acquittals on criminal cases.
I have missed the Super Bowl this year, but as the 49ers are saying: "There's always next year!"

OK, now that the MLS season is over, it's time to figure out which players won't be back next season, as they make the move to Europe. Here's the odds-on picks on who won't be back:
- Landon Donovan, L.A.: The MLS' top scorer in 2008 is making his third try at playing football in Germany. He's on loan at Bayern Munich, but he has made clear his commitment to try and stay in Europe full-time. The January transfer window is when the move could go permanent.
- Sacha Kljestan, Chivas: One of the best young midfielders America has produced, he has seen his contemporary, Maurice Edu, already jump to Rangers. Supposedly, there is plenty of interest in the Netherlands.
- Marvell Wynne, TFC: Wynne stepped up his game considerably in the second half of 2008, showing the ball-control skills that his coaches had been hoping for. He already has the speed to be a starting wing player in Europe.
- Kenny Cooper, FC Dallas: His planned move to Cardiff City was aborted in 2008. He's the best target man in the MLS, a tall, strong striker who can draw fouls and win balls deep in opposition territory. Plus, he's a good finisher. Not quick enough for a top-tier league, but supposedly interest is high in Scandinavia, where many Americans -- including soon-to-be former TFC player Hunter Freeman -- go to play. As well, Eintracht Frankfurt want a look.
- Michael Parkhurst, New England: Parkhurst scored an audacious goal from half against TFC in 2007. He's also one of the best young defenders America has to offer. Scandinavia beckons as his entry point into Europe.
- Robbie Rogers, Columbus: So far, the Crew have stated that Rogers is expected to stay in the MLS for at least another year. But he's had a breakout season and, now that the Crew have won the MLS Cup, what's left for Rogers to prove in this league?
-Dave Van Den Bergh, New York: A decade ago, Van Den Bergh was on the subs bench for Ajax when the Dutch club played in the European Cup final. Now, after a solid second half of the season in New York, rumours are Van Den Bergh may be heading back to his native Netherlands, to a smaller Eredivisie club.
This is the final instalment of The Red Card for 2008. I'll be back when TFC starts training in 2009. But, check The Full 90 at blog.canoe.com/thefull90 for more footballing tidbits!
