Golf Day Wizard - How it Works! A Step by Step Guide To Organising A Successful Golf Day
If you have ever organised a golf society day, a company golf day or corporate golf day then you know how much time and hassle it can take to pull the day together. Well not anymore! We were so fed up of ringing round and chasing people that we created a clever bit of software to do all the hard work for us. Why not give it a try and create your own golf day using our handy golf day organiser wizard.
Watch our golf day video tour – which explains how it works.
Got a question about the Golf Day Tool - check out our FAQs.
There are only 4 Steps to setting up a golf day:
These are example screenshots, please click here to create a golf day.
Simply complete the steps in any order.
You may want to invite friends first to see which dates work for everyone.
Or, if you know a date already, like for most corporate golf days, then you can book the club first and then send invites out so your clients can login to get personalised directions, a schedule for the day and can chat to you and other participants before and importantly after the golf day.
It is very easy to do and will only take a few minutes to setup.
You can then wait for the responses from your friends and the best prices from each golf club to come in; giving you time to go out and practice before the big day!
Here are a selection of screenshots which explain some of the features:
These are example screenshots, please click here to create a golf day.
Define Requirements - Select up to 4 dates and times then define your requirements for golf, food and accommodation.
Invite Friends - Now invite some friends, members of your golf society or clients - send one email to everyone and track who responds.
Create Shortlist of Clubs - Use the map to help you decide which clubs to select. If you have invited friends already then you can even see the central point which is the most convenient area for all invitees.
The Shortlist - This is created automatically from your selections and your invitees can look at this list and vote for or against each club.
Event Forum - The choice of golf venue usually provokes much debate in the forums!
Choose Club - Eventually as an organiser you have to decide which club to choose. You can share prices with attendees or keep it private.
Manage Payments - Keeping track of who has paid and how much is owed is much easier as we have created a form to help you manage.
Schedule and Match Pairings - To make it even easier we've added a random match draw so no one can argue about going off last! You can also create a schedule for the day, so everyone knows where they have to be and at what time and to stop you having to answer the same question hundreds of times!
When it's all booked - all you have to do is click one button and everyone gets personalised maps and directions (as long as they have logged in with a postcode!) to the event. It really is that simple!
Once you've set all your friends up on the system for this golf day it's even easier for you (or whoever's turn it is next) to book the golf day next time!
So why not give it a try? Login and then go to Create Golf Day and start organising your golf society day or company golf day the easy way!
Currently this tool only works with UK clubs but we do plan to add more clubs and countries in the future.

"Planilha" not "Pasta" ? or even "Folha de Cálculo" ?. Would you prefer Planilha ?
"Pasta" equal "Folder", no.
"Folha de Cálculo" is almost the same that Planilha but Planilha sounds better.
If you ask a people here to make a "Folha de Cálculo", they think about it in
general way to do a calculus in a sheet.
I prefer "Planilha" this term represent exactly "Spreadsheet" here. See the
label and will you see "planilha" there on plural "planilhas".
cool, done for rawhide. Might want to mention this to gnumeric as well, I think

If I only have time for one, which one should it be?"Well I generally try to weasel out of that question by telling them I'd use both LinkedIn AND Twitter, the truth is if I had to pick just one, LinkedIn would win, hands down.

Three policemen were shot dead and two injured by armed Maoists in a running train near Jamalpur railway station in Bihar's Munger district on Saturday evening.
A group of 8 to 10 Maoists, who were travelling in Sahebganj-Patna Inter-City Express, opened fire in a ladies compartment.
The train was between a railway tunnel and the bridge at Ashikpur, barely 900 yards away from Jamalpur railway station at the time of the incident, Railway Superintendent of Police Amitabh Kumar Das said.
The Naxal attack left three escorting members of Bihar Military Police dead and two others injured, Das said.
The Maoists looted three INSAS rifles, a sten gun and an AK-47, besides 460 rounds of ammunition.
The personnel were from the BMP-12 unit at Bhagalpur, Das said.
The Maoists escaped from the train at Passikhana after pulling the chain, where another group of Maoists was waiting beside the tracks, he said.
The three dead BMP personnel were Hawaldar Ashok Kumar, Constable Bhola Thakur and Constable Uday Singh. The injured were Mohammed Imtiyaz and Vinay Kumar, Das said.
Injured policemen Mohammed Imtiyaz told PTI in Jamalpur that eight to ten Maoists were on the train.
When the train slowed down after the chain was pulled, the group of Maoists waiting beside the tracks stabbed him and another BMP man. They snatched away the BMP personnel's weapon and fired from them, Imtiyaz said.
Munger Range Deputy Inspector General Sudhanshu Kumar has gone to the spot with security forces and launched a search operation.
The bodies of the slain BMP personnel were taken out of the train when it reached Jamalpur. The injured policemen have been hospitalised.
The ladies coach where the Maoist attack took place has been detached from the train.

I've been seeing that not much people connect to the TS server lately, so I was thinking about maybe creating a WYD Discord server.
Discord's become very popular amongst the WYD Gaming community lately, and it wouldn't be a bad idea to create a server for the WYD Community.
Plus, let's be honest, Discord is more fun to use than TS.
So, what do you guys say? :^)

TomTom Shows Live Traffic via the Web
TomTom said Thursday that it will provide a live traffic map of its HD Traffic service via the Web, allowing drivers to get a sense for the roads before they start on their journey.
Meanwhile, RIM also updated its own traffic app, placing version 2.0 on its beta site.
Unfortunately, the new TomTom map only provides real-time data for Europe and South Africa for now, but it seems likely that TomTom will migrate the map to North America once it gets enough data.
TomTom's HD Traffic service not only uses accident reports, cameras, and other means of generating traffic data, but also live traffic information provided by the TomTom GPS devices themselves. The traffic data is passed back and forth every few minutes, providing much more up-to-date and reliable information than U.S. services, which update just a few times per hour.
"You won't find a more accurate or reliable source of live traffic information anywhere," Ralf-Peter Schäfer, traffic director for TomTom, said in a statement. "The live traffic map is the perfect starting point for anyone planning a journey or who needs the most up-to-date view of the traffic on the road. By giving more drivers access to TomTom HD Traffic, we hope that we can start to make better use of the road network and start to reduce traffic congestion for everyone."
Clusters of traffic incidents are represented by a single icon, so users can see at a glance the number and severity of problems in a particular area, TomTom said. A detailed incident report list shows the length, delay, and cause of a jam, so they can decide whether to plan an alternative route.
The problem is that the connected GPS devices are much more prevalent in Europe than in the United States, where TomTom has launched the GO 2505 M LIVE, which is scheduled to go on sale in the United States in mid-year. The 2505 M LIVE is, so far, the only connected GPS that TomTom has launched that includes the HD Traffic service.
Meanwhile, smartphones such as Google's Android-based platform and its Google Maps have only recently begun factoring in traffic data when calculating the fastest route to a destination. Google recently said that it would begin using its real-time traffic data to calculate routes, which it anonymously collects from smartphone users.
On Thursday, Research in Motion also made available a beta version of its own Traffic app for the BlackBerry platform, adding an improved interface and a future traffic view, where users can plan the best time to begin their journey based on the historical traffic patterns for a given route. The app, available on the BlackBerry Beta site, also provides a second, alternative route with every route it plots.

Harley-Davidson Sportster Café Racer
Reading time: about 1 minute.
The Harley-Davidson café racer genre is a little corner of the café racer world that I've grown very fond of, I love the history of the brand and although the modern offerings aren't really my cup of tea, they are designed to be customised by their owners and their owners almost always oblige.
This particular bike started life as a 1995 Harley-Davidson Sportster 883, the current owner pulled it to pieces and carefully rebuilt it one element at a time. The straight pipes and high-flow air cleaner meant the carburettors needed to be re-jetted, all superfluous tabs and other parts were removed to keep weight down and a number of hand-made parts were added where needed.
Tossing away the stock Dunlops the bike was fitted with Avon Venom rubber, giving it a lot more potential lean angle as well as grip off the line should a drag race be called for. As it so often is.
She's up on eBay right now with the bidding sitting at about $4,950 at the time of writing, you can check out the auction here and the seller invites personal inspections if you happen to live in or around Illinois.
This bike is the work of the talented team over at Bull Cycles, you can click here to see more of their fantastic work.

Anyhoo…. I shall make up for that tonight. While I missed out on the gig last week I didn't miss out on the "launch" of the new SNJO offering "In The Spirit Of Duke". A wondrous collection of songs by and associated with Duke Ellington.
Mr Brown who was at the gig kindly picked up a copy of the CD for me. A copy of the CD "signed" by the great man, Tommy Smith himself, no less…
Q: What's more rare than a signed Tommy Smith CD?
A: An unsigned Tommy Smith CD!*
This is a "collection" of live performances from 4 nights of a short tour carried out last year when the SNJO were joined by Brian Kellock on piano. Very well edited with just enough "banter" and introductions left in to make the listener forget that its not one gig, but an amalgam of four that they are listening too.
It includes one of my favourite Ellington Ballads "Sunset And The Mockingbird" from the "Queens Suite" (in truth, simply "one of my favourite ballads"). It's a beautiful cover of the song with Kellock joined by Martin Kershaw on clarinet for a wonderfully slow, languid almost lazy duet. What I didn't know about the Queens Suite was "[that] Ellington wrote the "Queen's Suite" for Queen Elizabeth II who was presented with a single pressing of the recording which was not commercially issued during Ellington's lifetime". How much would that pressing be worth??
This song is the gem in the album for me – but it's all good really. Some really well known "Cotton Club" era stompers and a few more classical orientated pieces from Ellington's many suites.
|Just buy a big one !!
Anne buys the cake on a Friday. Her approach to cake purchases are not like mine. She goes for a sort of aesthetic approach based on looks, textures, fillings and general "fanciness". My main criteria is along the lines of "is the cake the size of a breeze-block"? If "yes" then it'll probably be fine.
* This is an old joke that I first heard attributed to Terry Pratchett books.

Futuristic Breakthrough Designs Comfortable on the Cutting Edge
…or Why women feel more beautiful in my clothes.
by Stefan Daniel Bell
I believe the fashion business as we knew it failed because it stopped listening to You.
My clothes don't have sizes.
My clothes are designed from the inside out. For You; your body, your life….
• My newest venture is the creation of a line of sacred wedding dresses. Prototypes will be finished in the next month or so…
• My current fashion focus as a is lace, armour made of lace, couture gowns, refabricated and reused clothing: self-couture.
• You can hear my music. On the day I'm writing, I'm on 21 on the reverbnation electronica chart in san francisco.
• I have been creating a series of couture dresses for editorials about modern fashion, women; strength and independence- all within an art space of Japanese street fashion, myths (like those of the Greeks, Venus is featured in the boutique), classical fashion (like French designer Jean Paul Gaultier), cutting edge art clothing that is wearable in everyday life.
Thank you for taking the time to drop by!
You are the Runway!
From brash to conservative.
Go to the movies or the opera, wearing the same clothes.
The rules have changed. The way that we are expected to dress is different than it was even ten years ago. Casual Friday became casual week. Now it is up to us to create the future of Fashion. From formal to conservative in one outfit- Modal Clothing.
You are the heart and soul of fashion. Designers would love to use you to advertise their brand. Use their fashion to brand yourself instead. Don't copy any look, make them copy you.
Successful people spend a lot of time looking good. Some may call it superficial, but make-up and hair styling predate the wheel; they may even predate the widespread use of fire. It is not superficial. Anyone who has seen the cream rise to the top knows it is usually the person who looks the best at the end of the day, in whatever capacity they are there in.
You don't have to look like a model; you only have to look like you- especially if you are a model.
The runways of New York and Paris, however brilliant, have been removed from your daily life. Don't chase fashion trends, make them chase you. Designers around the world wake up every day to try to dress you for your Runway.
Your bathroom, your bedroom (your bed), Your Life is Your Runway. Your job, your stage; everywhere you appear- this is a chance to showcase your style.
You are the Runway. Who are you? How do you really feel? Let's start there.
'You are the Runway!' copyright in 2005 by Stefan Daniel Bell.

There are claims that Drake has ended his relationship with the model, Bella Hadid in an unusual style via a text message.
The two are said to have started their relationship in June 2017 but things are now believed to have turned sour between Bella and Drake, according to US Weekly. "
Things ended over text when he basically ghosted her," a source told the publication, they are no longer talking."
While some sources reported the pair were casually dating, other insiders said Bella and Drake were 'just friends'. It would be recalled that back in October 2017, Life & Style Weekly Magazine reported about the relationship between Drake and Bella Hadid via a source.
It was reported that Drake first met Bella back when she was dating The Weeknd. After the duo's November 2016 split, "Bella was getting over her ex and wasn't interested in Drake, but that soon changed when Drake turned on the charm and wooed her with romantic gestures, including expensive jewelry and flowers."
"After having such a public relationship and breakup with The Weeknd," the source explains, "Bella wants to keep her new relationship on the down low."
Drake and Bella have known each other for years even before her modeling career became a success. In June 2017, Bella attended Drake's birthday party at The Nice Guy in Los Angeles.

I recently finished Park Palmer's The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life. It's a powerful reflection born out of a lifetime seeking to understand the craft of teaching.
This isn't a how-to manual filled with tips and tricks on how to teach effectively. Those hoping to plunder Parlmer's decades of teaching experience for practical nuggets will find themselves disappointed. Instead, The Courage to Teach is offered as spiritual direction more than professional development. It's a rich work that attempts to give voice to the nuanced, mysterious, complex dimensions of teaching that those who care about communicating ideas to others often struggle to articulate. It was a very satisfying and inspiring read. I highly recommend it to teachers of all stripes and expressions.
Here are the six quotes from The Courage to Teach that I found particularly powerful:
1. "This book builds on a simple premise: good teaching cannot be reduced to technique; good teaching comes from the identity and integrity of the teacher. The premise is simple, but its implications are not. It will take time to unfold what I do and do not mean by those words. But here is one way to put it: in every class I teach, my ability to connect with my students, and to connect them with the subject, depends less on the methods I use than on the degree to which I know and trust my selfhood—and am willing to make it available and vulnerable in the service of learning."
2. "The behaviors generated by fear—silence, withdrawal, cynicism—often mimic those that come with ignorance, so it is not always easy for me to keep believing, when I look at some of my students, that anxiety rather than banality is what I am looking at. I need to keep renewing my insight into my students' true condition in spite of misleading appearances."
3. "The way we diagnose our students' condition will determine the kind of remedy we offer."
4. "If we embrace the promise of diversity, of creative conflict, and of "losing" in order to "win," we still face one final fear—the fear that a live encounter with otherness will challenge or even compel us to change our lives. This is not paranoia: the world really is out to get us! Otherness, taken seriously, always invites transformation, calling us not only to new facts and theories and values but also to new ways of living our lives—and that is the most daunting threat of all."
5. "Teaching, like any truly human activity, emerges from one's inwardness, for better or worse. As I teach, I project the condition of my soul onto my students, my subject, and our way of being together. The entanglements I experience in the classroom are often no more or less than the convolutions of my inner life. Viewed from this angle, teaching holds a mirror to the soul."
6. "Truth is an eternal conversation about things that matter, conducted with passion and discipline."

One-hundred-seventy-four men and women comprise the Mississippi Legislature. About 1.3 million comprise the state's electorate. Education advocates hoping to make adequate schools funding a constitutional requirement like their odds.
After three weeks on the job, Better Schools, Better Jobs had signatures of 40,000 Mississippi voters for Initiative 42, which would require the state Legislature to fund "an adequate and efficient system of free public schools" in order to "protect each child's fundamental right to educational opportunity through 12th grade."
Patsy Brumfield, communications director for the initiative, said the group must collect 200,000 signatures by Oct. 1. If Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann certifies the signatures, the question will go on the November 2015 election ballot that will include the governor's race.
Organizers say Better Schools, Better Jobs is representative of the adage that desperate times call for desperate measures. The Mississippi Constitution states: "The Legislature shall, by general law, provide for the establishment, maintenance and support of free public schools upon such conditions and limitations as the Legislature may prescribe."
The penultimate provision basically says if and when state lawmakers feel like it, Brumfield said. "Well, we've not felt like it for the past 17 years," she told a gathering at Koinonia Coffee House on June 13.
In 1997, the Legislature passed the Mississippi Adequate Education Act, which includes a complicated formula designed to somewhat level the playing field between rich and poor schools. Full funding, according to the MAEP formula lawmakers prescribed, has happened twice since the law's 17-year history.
Brumfield cited a poll, which Better Schools, Better Jobs commissioned, finding that 70 percent of registered voters polled said they did not believe the Mississippi Legislature would ever fulfill the constitutional mandate and fund public education as promised in the state Constitution.
Jackson Public Schools has been underfunded $72.2 million since 2009; overall, the Legislature has underfunded public schools $1.5 billion in the same time period.
Each year, legislators complain that the state is too broke to fully fund MAEP even as they rain tax credits—which suck away money that would have gone into the state's coffers—on pet projects from The Outlets of Mississippi to the beleaguered Kior and beef plants.
For the past two legislative sessions, lawmakers have batted around the idea of altering or scrapping the formula all together.
Brumfield believes that Better Schools, Better Jobs is "doing the Legislature a favor" because they will not have to argue anymore about public school funding.
"There are plenty of other priorities that the Legislature wants to address. We're going to clear up the agenda for them," she said.
She said Better Schools, Better Jobs organizers plan to interview as many legislators as possible regarding education funding. They have already spoken to Democratic state Sen. David Blount of Jackson and Republican state Rep. Ray Rogers of Pearl.
Former Mississippi Secretary of State Dick Molpus, Mississippi State Branch NAACP President Derrick Johnson and Parents' Campaign Executive Director Nancy Loome believe adequately funded education will help Mississippi's economy by increasing more educated workers.
Funding public education could lead to greater classroom resources and smaller classroom settings in schools across the state, which leads to better educated workers.
Loome likes to say that voters are taking matters into their own hands to help public education funding through Better Schools, Better Jobs.
Dana Larkin from Parents for Public Schools for Jackson and Better Schools, Better Jobs said funding education is a moral imperative.
"The answer to every question about moving Mississippi is education. We have to adequately fund education so that every child has a better chance, and our futures depend on it," she said.

For the 2013-14 school year, the state underfunded MAEP by $292 million. I believe the underfunding for '14-'15 school year is $312 million. Public school http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=...">spending per pupil is lower now than it was in 2008.

13 Sep 2003
0815hr - 1840hr
Beginner's trip to Clarksville Cave, NY
Cavers: Karen David Lynne Nathan Jose Meredith Tony
The day began with the group of us meeting at the circular driveway behind the Students Center at 0745hr. We were soon on our way and it took us about 3 hours to arrive at our destination - Clarksville Cave in upstate New York.
This was my very first experience in caving. I had no clue what it was about and thankfully, I was not the only one. Over lunch at June's diner, the veterans present such as Karen and David told us more about caving. We passed around a introductory book about caving and it helped me somewhat.
After a nice lunch, we suited up and put on our helmets and gear. The time was about 1300hr. The cave had 3 main entrances. There was one on each side of the cave and a last one in the center. The cave was divided into a wet half and a dry half. We decided to tackle the dry half first.
I have to admit that I felt like a rabbit when I first crept down the entranceway into the cave. The hole emerged into a very nice opening, with high roofs glistening with silver beads of water droplets. Once all of us were assembled and David and Jose got their fire things (look, I'm a beginner!) working, we proceeded down the dry half of the cave. It became apparent very quickly that caving challenged one to move and bend one's body to adjust to the different heights and ground angles.
The best parts were the forks that always ended up converging. However, the fork always offered a more difficult (read: lower and wetter) path and a safer alternative. The braver ones would go for the former while the rest went for the latter. Despite the common knowledge that this was the dryer half of the cave, it was not long before our boots got wet. The water did admittedly provide some cool cushioning effects!
Soon, we had reached the end of the dry half. It turned out to be a sump around which cavers could rest and take a break. We met another group of cavers there and talked a little. After eating and hydrating ourselves, we headed back to the center.
Once there, we embarked on the path that would take us down the wet half. There were two highlights to this half. First was a very narrow tunnel through which we had to crawl in order to lower ourselves into the length of tunnels that ran below us. It proved to be very challenging and some of us might have possibly discovered an alternative career as a contortionist in the process! The second highlight was near the end of the cave where the water rose to about 5ft6" and the cave roof dropped to about 6" from the water surface. Naturally, we all got soaked in the cold water but it turned out to be a fun and unique experience for us all.
We had conquered the caves by this time and began heading back toward the center via an alternative path. After emerging from underground, some of us gained a better appreciation for the expression "to see the light at the end of the tunnel." We cleaned up and were soon back on our way to Boston.
The journey back went smoothly and we arrived back on campus at about 1845hr.

In parliament last week the sanctions and anti-money laundering bill came back before the house.
Excitingly, an amendment I supported on the creation of public registers of beneficial ownership of companies registered in British Overseas Territories (OTs), gained the support of the government and was added to the bill.
The passing of this cross-party amendment signifies a great moment in the fight against corruption and money-laundering.
As co-chair of the Anti-Corruption APPG I am pleased that the government chose to support this, marking a move towards greater transparency.
The need for greater transparency is demon-strated in Global Witness's recent analysis, which shows that over the last ten years more than seven times more money has flowed from Russia to the OTs than to the UK itself.
The research also identities a number of cases which demonstrate this wealth is the proceeds of crime and suspected corruption.
With £34bn of Russian money currently invested in the OTs, the third most popular place to store money, it is vital that the public registers of beneficial ownership are created so that the sources of this money can be identified. A serious step towards combating the problem.
We do not want to legislate directly for the OTs in breach of our long standing constitutional arrangements respecting their autonomy.
But the majority view of the UK parliament is that the UK and its OTs must lead the way in the fight against corruption.
To simply wait for others to adopt this standard interna-tionally and then follow suit, leaves much to be desired in our moral conscience.
Especially when the traffic of corrupt money and illicit finance around the world keeps the most vulnerable locked in poverty.
Indeed, Oxfam among other charities have welcomed the move, since the end of secrecy in tax havens will help developing countries to recover billions of lost income which can be put towards much-needed schools and hospitals instead.

MOMA? SHMOMA! MOCA? SCHMOCA. It's all about the MONA- Museum of Neon Art. Located near our fave places to eat in downtown L.A., we decided to take a look before lunch and before our long hike to the Hollywood sign. The MONA is in the process of moving to Glendale, where it will be bigger and better. "I have a new found appreciation for neon art," said my love as he looked at neon signs on the freeway on our way home. I told him we could add it to his art, its just gas and glass.

Dollar Tree mercury glass lanterns
These mercury glass style pint size glass jar lanterns with wire handle are perfect 'as purchased' from Dollar Tree.
Still, I prefer to always add a 'little something' to dress them up a bit . . . and as an inspiration to others. Most of the time I just rummage through the embellishment supplies I have on hand to find those little somethings. In this case, I had some blue METAL snowflake charms that I tied on with some satin ribbon.
Whenever possible, I make the added embellishments 'removable', just in case the purchaser has a different vision for using them. These are easily removable by just untying the ribbon.
They also had gold and red colors of these mercury glass lanterns. I usually add a tea light or batter tea light to them before I put them out for sale in my booth or at a show. It's just a little extra 'nicety' that doesn't cost hardly anything to add on.
Crochet thread snowmen with Dollar Tree hats
Found these cute glitter snowman hat ornaments at Dollar Tree.
They came in silver, red or black. I had made some snowmen out of stacks of spools of vintage crochet thread in the past, but didn't have a hat the really 'set them off' just right. These were the perfect size!
First I had to remove the hanger from the top of the hats. They are made of styrofoam, and some of the styro came out with the hanger. I filled the hole with some tacky glue and a bit of wadded tissue paper. Let that dry overnight and topped the patch with matching glitter.
A piece of black ribbon for a hat band and a rusty jingle bell to dress the hat up a bit.
I glued together spools of crochet thread with tacky glue.
A circle of cardboard glued to the base for some added stability.
You could leave them 'as is' if desired, but I desired some SPARKLE!! I brushed the outside of the spools with Mod Podge and rolled them in some vintage style Mica flakes that I had on hand. Any glitter will do though.
I made charcoal eyes and carrot noses out of FIMO clay; baked to harden; glued in place. another snippet of black ribbon for a scarf and some vintage black buttons.
The one taller 'three section' snowman I left 'unglittered'. He's the one that got the hat with the rusty jingle bell; and I used more of the rusty bells instead of buttons on him. A strip of tea stained muslin for a scarf. You COULD tea stain the spools of crochet threads too, if you wanted to. (Just do so as your FIRST step though!) Those are the ones I made last year.
This year I bought red and black hats. Added some red jingle bells to the hats.
My stash of crochet thread was running low, and I had a few smaller spools to use up; so I made a few as ornaments of just the heat with a hat. I had run out of the Fimo charcoal eyes and didn't want to wait until I made more to finish these guys, so I improvised and used what I had; which was some regular ole thumbtacks, painted matte black. I added some tiny seed beads for the mouth.
Kind of wishing I had glittered these!
Two of the mica glittered ones left over from last year, and one new 'three high' with a black hat that I made this year. Gave that one a red felt scarf and a red FIMO heart instead of buttons. The eyes are still the thumb tacks on this one, just painted to look more like real eyes.
These taller snowmen were the perfect backing for this batch of vintage salt shaker snow guys!
Dressed up Dollar Tree skeleton
I forgot to take a picture of this one before I dressed her up, but these are the basic plastic skeletons that they have at Dollar Tree every year.
I made her an orange tulle tutu, and tied an sheer orange ribbon around her waist.
To make the tutu, I just do a running stitch along the folded edge of the tulle; then gather it up to size and stitch it in place.
The bow in the back is a cute little extra.
The collar is a felt spider web I had on hand. I slit it, cut out the very center and one section (to make it curve) and glued it back together. The little spider buttons I had on hand also.
With one section removed, when I glued it back together, it curved down and fit over her shoulders nicely.
I made the crown out of black paper, added a spider web sticker and one of the spider buttons. The crown fit over the loop for hanging on top of her head.
Took no more than 15 minutes to dress her up.
Dollar Tree Halloween Decor: Bird skeletons
How cute are these little bird skeletons I found at Dollar Tree?!?! I grabbed a few of them, not knowing WHAT I was going to DO with them; but I just HAD to have them.
I ended up just putting them out in my Halloween display at the antique mall 'as is'.
I thought about giving them a crown, but I put crowns of EVERYTHING! It's beginning to feel a tad redundant!
I really wish I had bought MORE of them, and set a few aside for next year when I'll have time to start on them earlier and alter them somehow.
All that I did by, sold.
Look what I just saw on Pinterest?!?! Practically the SAME bird!! This one is made from resin, and is a Bethany Lowe design with a $109.95 price tag!?!?
(I actually like the ones from DT better. The hollow chest cavity is more realistic looking. But I sure do love that top hat he's sporting!)

4. He thinks John's worst move wast backing out of their Final 2 deal.
Steve revealed that he thinks Johnny Mac's biggest mistake was telling Shelli about the Final 2 deal between the #nerdmance duo. After rumors of their alliance spread, the engineering student worked hard to try and disprove his alliance with the Pennsylvania dentist, but to no avail.
"People love to split up pairs," Steve said. "If you're gonna be part of a Final 2 deal, make sure it's hidden, unless you have the votes to stay."

Through the Wormhole with Morgan Freeman | on The Science Channel
January 1, 2000
The Science Channel | Hosted by Morgan Freeman, Through the Wormhole explores the deepest mysteries of existence — the questions that have puzzled mankind for eternity. What are we made of? What was there before the beginning? Are we really alone?
These questions have been pondered by the most brilliant minds in history. Now, modern science may be able to provide us with answers. Through the Wormhole episodes:
Is There a Creator? Did our Universe just come into being by random chance, or was it created by a God who nurtures and sustains all life?
The Riddle of Black Holes: They are the most powerful objects in the universe. Nothing, not even light, can escape the gravitational pull of a black hole.
Is Time Travel Possible? Finding a way to travel backwards requires breaking the speed of light, which so far seems impossible. But is it really?
Creation of the Universe: What Happened Before the Beginning? If the Universe was born, where did it come from?
How Did We Get Here? How did the cosmos come together to create life as we know it? What do we mean by 'life'? And will unlocking this mystery help us find life elsewhere?
Are We Alone? Why haven't we yet met E.T.? It turns out we're only just developing instruments powerful enough to find them.
What Are We Made Of? The LHC could validate our theories about how the world works and what we are made of. Or, all of our notions about reality could fall apart.
Beyond the Darkness: Dark Matter is not the only strange substance in the Universe. Another force called Dark Energy seems to be pushing the fabric of the cosmos apart.

Amazing LGBT filmmakers are presenting on this cruise ship–check out the links below for some seriously awesome clips.
While my last post talked about the "big event" film of the Pride of the Ocean LGBT film festival, currently taking place onboard the Norwegian Pearl cruising around Alaska's panhandle towns and Glacier Bay, it's the CineSLAM activities that have really caught Denni and my interest.**
Festival organizers have reserved one of the Pearl's convention spaces (were you aware cruise ships have meeting rooms?), and use this space for filmmakers to show their work—some of it essentially finished, other work still in progress or exploratory stages.
After each film(s) is shown, there is plenty of time for discussion and questions, which we are loving! Since Denni and I aren't filmmakers, we feel sort of like flies on the wall observing some very interesting and intense work. But we also are welcome to chime in, make suggestions, and be involved. In fact, some of the most interesting comments have been from the "general audience" members.
As an audience member, my three highlights from the CineSLAM events, thus far, have been:
- Ryan Steel, a new filmmaker from Vancouver, BC, showed a series of hilarious clips, anchored by his "Woof," and a lesbian film-noire comedy. He's an emerging talent I'm sure we'll be seeing on the gay film fest circuit soon—if not on Jay Leno. The crowd had loads of encouragement and suggestions for him. Check out woof below, and click here for more of Ryan's hilarious work.
- Bryan Horch, a Massachusetts filmmaker, showed a short film called Spooners, also very funny, which he's considering as a web series. It was fascinating to hear the encouragement and people's many ideas of how he could move the project forward and monetize it. Matt Bucy, the film's director of photography (that's "DP" in filmmaker lingo, which we're learning), is also on board which allows for additional perspective. See more here.
- Becky Lane, a filmmaker from New York*( state, showed two segments from a lesbian pulp fiction project she's working on, titled The Chanticleer, and wondered where to take it next—the encouragement for her to take it to a full-length film was very strong. Denni and I are hardly lesbian film fans, but we were both chomping for more of this woman's amazing work. Let her tease you by clicking here.
As far as the cruise ship venue, it is really a perfect setting. Today is a full port day in gorgeous Skagway, and there are no film showings. But we found ourselves hanging out with other film festival participants—a filmmaker, a DP (director of photography), and a TV distribution representative—for a long and lingering brunch in the Norwegian Pearl's buffet (where the Indian food is the decided hit).
Most of the festival-goers went in two private cars on the White Route & Yukon Railway, which I've written about as a great Alaska shore excursion. Denni and I bummed around town and ended up buying a gorgeous, made-in-Alaska rug.
In short—we're getting all the benefits of a solid cruise, fabulous Alaska ports, a gay group travel experience, and a very unique film festival, all in one!

Everlovely Lightningheart
SIR LANCELOT LIGHTNINGROD, or everything everloving
Posted by Hydra Headlines × 11:12 AM
hi folks,
first off, we are sorry to say that the everlovely lightningheart "cusp" album has been delayed yet again... we have now set a march 7th release date that will be adhered too... and we'll be doing some sort of special preorder thing for this release as well, though we're not sure what it will contain just yet. we'd also like to add that this record will be worth the wait - the booklets for the cd were wonderfully designed and handsewn by the band with "unique" insertions in each ... and we've already gone on at length about the quality of the aural content in past postings... so just hold on for a few more weeks....
also in the works is a preorder package for the pelican "march into the sea" 12", with t shirt, turntable slip mat, etc. we'd also like to mention preparations are currently being made for the release of the new and stunning jesu cd ep/12" entitled "silver", as well as the long awaited reissue of the agoraphobic nosebleed masterpiece "pcp torpedo" on the digital format complete with a full disc of remixes by the likes of vinda obmana, jk broadrick, merzbow, etc....
and now, back to everlovely, here is a bunch of info from the band on upcoming and current activities... as you can see they are a busy bunch, so get out there 'n support 'em all you LA area freaks! this is unedited text, but we think you all are smart enough to be able to extract the pertinent info contained herein...
"-there is a date pending for the show at LACMA for janruary, but it is based on the performance we did in the Belmont Tunnel in 2004.
-we have an installation at the USC fine arts Grad gallery. we have made 10 speakers and we have made thousands of 3 minute songs, groups of songs are played at random through each speaker creating an atmosphere of sound where the listener will never be able to hear the song all the way through because it is constantly changing. it is a test run model for our bigger show in March/April. the DATE: OPENING RECEPTION: FEBRUARY 23 2006. @ USC GRAD FA GALLERY: Gayle and Ed Roski Master of Fine Arts Gallery, 3001 South Flower st, Los Angeles, CA. 90007- tel. 213 743 1804-finearts.usc.edu/events
-we have the same kind of show at the UC Riverside Sweeney Gallery for a group show called "PEOPLE FOR A BETTER TOMORROW", it is along the same lines but more realized and more audiance participation. the DATE: OPENING RECEPTION: APRIL 1st 2006. we will be performing on APRIL 2 and possibly APRIL 6 with another artist Mario Ybarra. the show was currated by Meg Cranston.
-then theres the craziest one- we are included in a group show put on my the artist Andrea Zittel and some of her group called HIGH DESERT TEST SITES PROJECTS, it is in the high desert- Jousha Tree/ 29 Palms area. we will be constructing a monumental Aeolien harp. if you need a brief description of the harp here it is:
"the Aeolin Harp is an ancient instrument invented by the greeks and named after Aeolus, the god of wind. Arthurian legends hold that these harps were placed along the cliffs above the shores of Britan in the 6th century in order to ward off invaders with the otherwordly sound of their howling music.
the harp we propose to build is of the ancient variety, free standing, and obelisk-like in shape.
the harp sounds by way of a process known in physics as vortex sheeding. this is the same phenomenon which causes high-tension power lines to whistle.
the harp consists of a vertical colume or housing with slatted openings, which serve to concentrate and funnel wind across the strings contained within. the strings are all the same length, but of different thickness. by adjusting the tension of the strings in accordance with their varying thicknesses, the strings are all tuned to the same fundamental pitch, as they would if they were plucked or struck, but rather at the wide variety of harmonics which make up the overtone series for the paticular tone to which all the strings are tuned. the result is a chours of shifting harmonies, haunting and ethereal in their wavering song.
the harp will be embedded in the floor of the canyon, these harmonies will echo and reverberate creating an interesting spatial experience of sound."
-the words of chris Badger to our currator.
we will provide you with a map as soon as we select our specfic location. the DATE: MAY 6 and 7th 2006
i hope those dates are helpfull, if you want more info let me know and ill keep you updated on what is happening with the LACMA show.
....oh, we also have a show at Mountain Bar (in los angeles) on March 1st with The Nethers, and are playing SXSW (austin, tx) on the 16th of march....."
that's all folks! more soon... we promise..... sort of....

What We Do:
Here at Bullied Teens Supporters, we understand that words hurt. That is the reason why we aim to give bully victims peers to talk and discuss what ever makes them feel most comfortable after school at Parkdale High School, where we are starting to begin to build an after school group. Not only will we do activities to raise awareness and to help
prevent bullying in school, but we will also deal with the affects of bullying that are so often over looked.

Two brothers based in Pueblo, Colo., have launched a Kickstarter campaign to develop what they are calling the Helios 5, a version of the solar "power tower" technology used in some deserts. The brothers say the technology will allow roasters such as themselves to harness energy on urban rooftops and divert it to the spaces below.
With two weeks to go in the fundraising campaign, brothers David and Michael Hartkop, owners of Solar Roast Coffee have raised nearly $3,000 toward the $20,000 fundraising goal.
From David Hartkop:
My brother and I own a business called Solar Roast Coffee. As the name suggests, we are in the business of roasting coffee using solar power. To this end, I have built four generations of solar concentrators (like giant magnifying glasses) that focus sunlight to create heat for roasting coffee. The coffee we've been able to make by this process thus far has been wonderfully aromatic, dark, and never bitter, so we're sticking to it!
We are in the process of creating our fifth-generation machine, the Helios 5.
The machine will be a miniature version of the so-called "power tower" systems used for generating electricity in the deserts of California and Spain. The real advancement is that the system can be installed on the roof of an urban building, and used to provide heat to some process on the floor below. In our case, we will be using this heat energy to roast our coffee; we know that coffee is just the start, though. This is why we have opted to release the plans and instructions for building our concentrator system as an open-source technology project. We're calling it "The Open Sun Project" and you can read more about it at www.opensunproject.com.
Our project will lay the groundwork for others who can then freely use the technology for business, industry, and humanitarian purposes. And it will let us scale up the production of our delicious solar roast coffee! 🙂

Join The Conversation With Mishpacha's Weekly Newsletter
Rabbi Yosef Grunfeld dispels fear — of beards, of religious fanatics, of commitment to a Torah way of life. For the past 30 years, the director of Seed in the UK has been charming and disarming audiences without compromising on his own principles.
What prompted a cadre of determined journalists to descend on the Canarsie home of an elderly retired florist named Louis Schlamowitz following the recent liquidation of Muammar Gaddafi? What connection did an American Jewish octogenarian have with the leader of the Islamic Republic of Libya? In truth — not very much. Unless you take into account signed pictures, cards, and letters from the deranged despot who took the time to correspond with the 81-year-old Brooklynite for more than three decades.
If you think a computerized model that can predict a revolution or an outbreak of violence is the stuff of science fiction, think again. Kalev Leetaru's computer program successfully predicted the Arab Spring uprisings and accurately pinpointed Osama Bin Laden's final location. Next on the agenda: analyzing the 2012 US election and the chances of an Israeli military strike on Iran.
Newt Gingrich capped a remarkable week, in which he surged to the top of the Republican presidential polls, by launching a major outreach campaign to America's Jewish voters. Is this straight-talking, southern-Republican the GOP's savior or the next in a growing list of stumbling front-runners?
We're fascinated by dreams — the latest interpretation of the dream of a mekubal detailing when The End will come, about who a rebbe saw in his dream, and the possibility of unlocking the meanings of our own dreams. Rebbes of the last generations talked and wrote extensively about their dreams. Were they prophetic or personal, tales of the past or tools for further growth? A peek into the hidden world of holy dreams.

This is an addendum to an nonfictional prose I lately wrote, styled CSS - Create a Stretchable Elastic Website near Absolute Positioning. And sometime again, as in the preceding article, this is willful for the initiation draughtsman.
After designing a amount of elastic, or fluid websites, I have come through to the finishing point that exploitation ems for size text is the incomparable way to go. If you coppers the massiveness of the citation font, (the browser's absence typeset volume), the typeface changes proportionally. Often, viewing audience who are a undersize much savvy, will swing the set book largeness in the browser. When ems have been in use to pattern the page, the manual intersectant the leaf keeps it's tight-laced proportions.
For those who are yet unfamiliar near what ems are.Post ads:

Ems are eightpenny so that the type bulkiness is comparative to the browser's default lettering proportions. Which is medium for Internet Explorer. and maximum redbrick browsers. However, any say that this can be a reservation because not all browsers use the one and the same immensity deed for defaulting deed size. For instance, the rule is 16 pixels for IE, but Mac uses 12 pixels for their absence typescript mass. Personally, when examination my pages relating IE and Mac, I see gnomish gap. Not ample to impose involvement for me.
So supported on this, 1em is 100% of the browser's evasion text extent. Or, once again, in the crust of IE, 1em is 16px. .5em is 8px, .75em is 12px, 1.5em is 24px, 2em is 32px and so on. The specialiser can as well set all of the fount sizes on a leaf by shifting the print vastness in the article tag.
Example: BODY {font-size:75%}Post ads:

This would now end in IE's default intermediate textual matter to alteration from 16px to 12px. Because remember, in CSS, Cascading Style Sheets, the fry instrumentality inherits from the genitor element, which would be the organic structure. So now, 1em is 12px, .75em is 9px, and so on.
Another all-important aim to use ems is the fact that IE6.0 and at a lower place will not let you to resize article that was sized in pixels. So using ems will let the somebody to resize the schoolbook and prolong relative proportions.
One concluding element.
Using ems allows the deed inwardly a cylinder to push on beside the crate to, past again, keep up sameness. And that spike unsocial I quality is the most influential intention for victimisation ems!
Happy designing! It's always a drudgery in progress!

Sometimes, it's hard to love horses…
I adore my horses, I really do. I am far more their slave than they are mine. I like to believe we understand each other. We trust each other. I admire them, hugely, for their grace, power, beauty, gentleness, tolerance and intelligence. But sometimes, I do just wonder…
When I leave them piles of hay in the corners of their shelter in a totally waterlogged muddy field (all I have at present!) and they poo and wee all over the hay (NO, that's what the ample bedding in the shelter is for, dufusses) and then stand there looking forlorn and hungry, making me feel guilty.
When they stand out in the driving rain BESIDE aforementioned (cosy dry) shelter, perfecting their 'neglected horse' expressions. I swear, it's a good job telephone keypads are tiny, or they'd be straight on the phone to World Horse Welfare. Or Childline, perhaps.
When they poo in the water bucket overnight. I mean, honestly… I am going to entrust my LIFE, quite literally, to this animal's split-second reactions and judgement on the cross-country, and it still hasn't quite worked out the cause-and-effect of what/where its bum is hanging over when it poos…
When, as happened the other morning, one definitely old enough to know better (actually, does that ever apply to a horse? seriously?) had an "OOOOHHHH it's breakfast time" moment, which involved squealing a lot and 'throwing shapes' around the stable, and inadvertently leapt into, and very rapidly out of, her water bucket. The terror with which she then eyed the ensuing lake couldn't have been more convincing if Nessie (the Loch Ness Monster) herself had been peering hungrily out of it.
When they do something foot-perfect every single time, until the one time it matters. (When my trainer's watching, when we're at a competition, when I am about to die with shame… You get the picture.) I strongly suspect that horses have a really wicked sense of humour and timing. In fact, having consulted an animal communicator (which is a whole other story) I am positive that they do…
But then, the love comes back:
When they whicker at the sight of me, and follow me around, and nuzzle me gently (okay, it might be for polo mints, but maybe it's for love? Humour me here.)
When they're really well-behaved under saddle even though I can feel they want to be really naughty… It's a very windy day (par for the course where I live), the tension builds up, all the ominous signs are there, but they somehow manage to keep a lid on it and be angelic. I hope I've made it clear that thinking Very Naughty Thoughts is one thing, but being downright evil and hitting the big Eject Button is quite something else… but, you know, they can still have their moments and all that. So, I really love and appreciate them when they try really really hard to be good.
When they do something for the very first time (first canter under saddle, first hack out alone, first round of jumping, etc) and do me proud. They stride out confidently and say "Yeah, got this, this is FUN." This, to me, is as good a feeling as getting a red rosette.
When they permit me to give them a really lingering kiss on the side of their muzzle, and to revel in the warm velvetyness of it, and they never even think to bite me. I know I shouldn't. I've heard all the horror stories about people having their lips ripped off by a horse they'd known for 30 years, yadda yadda. I do try to remember to cup the schnoz in my hands to have some warning in case my victim has a sudden "AksherlyIdon'twannabekissed" moment. But that bit of them, just on the side of the muzzle, so soft and utterly snoggable, like warm velvet… kissing that is one of my big pleasures in life. Yes, I really am THAT much of a Horse Junkie. It's my ultimate fix – well, apart from riding xc… and this is a bit easier to access, every day.
So, my horses get quite a lot of schmoochies. Lucky them (or not!) When a stranger (often a Non Horsey Person) is at my place, and remarks on how the horses' eyes never leave me, they are locked on to my every move. And when they go on to say that they're usually scared of horses but mine are so gentle and nice that they can see the appeal now.
When they're lying down and are relaxed enough to stay there and let me sit down with them, and we can have a long cuddle and a bit of a chat, albeit rather one-sided.
When they show Signs of Extreme Smartness, such as: My yearling, Jinni, was on box rest for a few months. There was always another horse in the barn with her. Bless her, she wasn't fussy, didn't say a word if her favourite neighbour was led away, made do with anything else equine.
There were 2 others in overnight, in adjacent stables to hers, and I could take either away without her making a noise, or bring another in and make a substitution, no problem. But if I took a headcollar towards the only one left in beside her (just to tie it up in the corridor while I mucked out its stable), Jinni gave a little anxious whinny. Every single time. She knew that me walking towards a stable with a headcollar (she didn't 'say' anything if I didn't have a headcollar in my hand) meant I was about to lead that horse out. I'm seriously impressed by that. That shows understanding of what is going to happen, no? Cause and effect. Comprehension of future consequences.
Also, this one hasn't pooed in her water bucket yet.
I have a little Intelligence Test for my horses. It involves bowling an apple across their paddocks, just past them. It mustn't be going too fast or they don't track it, but it's interesting to see how they react to it. The smart & brave ones notice, and go towards it instantly to check it out. The wussy ones are spooked by it, but then check it out when it's not moved for 20 seconds, kind of thing. When they've had it done a few times they get smart, they realise it's an apple, and some even go on an intercept course.
I bowled one to Daisy the other day, short distance, pretty speedily… and she reacted so fast, she struck out with a front leg to stop it from going past her, like the Karate Kid or something. Wow.
Perhaps this means she is a genius! I can only hope…
STOP PRESS. Late this morning, she used the only poo in an immaculately clean stable as a pillow. WHAT is that about? Seriously. Ewwwww. Her Equine Einstein status is currently in doubt…

aka Jacko, Jack O'Lantern
98 min., 1995
Written by Brad Linaweaver/Patrick Moran/Fred Olen Ray
Directed by Steve Latshaw
Language: English
My rating: ★
The perfect late-night-drink-fest-MSTy movie.
* * *
Young Sean Kelly (Ryan Latshaw) is walking home with two of his "friends" when they tell him about the pumpkin man that comes around on Halloween and kills people. They see a car pull up and the boy tells Sean that the driver is a witch and she is looking for kids to kill. Sean tries to stop him from throwing rocks at her car and gets into a fight. The woman from the car, Vivian Machen (Catherine Walsh), comes over, helps Sean and walks him home. We meet Sean's dad David (Gary Doles) who is in the process of setting up the haunted garage for Halloween. Sean's mom, Linda (Maddisen K. Krown) gets home from shopping and agrees that Vivian can help. The next day, Halloween night, Carolyn Miller (Linnea Quigley) comes over to baby-sit Sean and take him trick or treating. While they are out, three teens end up waking Jack-O, an evil spirit that was summoned years ago to kill the Kelly family, but was put to sleep. Now he's awake and the only one that can stop him might be little Sean.
The acting in this movie is really, really terrible. Everyone (except Linnea Quigley) comes off as completely amateur and they aren't engaging at all. Linnea Quigley is the only one that does a good job and I think that is mainly because everyone else is so bad that she comes off great. For the most part the acting is a big joke and that's kinda what makes this movie so much fun. You will groan and you will probably cry a bit from the bad acting but you will also laugh (sometimes uncontrollably) and have some fun with the acting.
The effects are also really bad, but it also looked like there was no budget. So when they try to do some over-the-top effects, they just fail, but then again, when they do the more minor effects, well…they still fail. The effects are just really bad, as much as I do like the look of Jack-O he still looks like crap. In fact the whole movie just has a cheap and uncaring feel to it. There are other movies that take a little extra time and make most things feel a little bit more real, but these guys seem to ignore most of the minor things and that is more annoying than bad.
There are movies that you watch where it's so bad that it's fun, but after about a half an hour you still end up getting bored. This one is different because you are just wondering just how bad is it really going to get. Boredom will seep in, but that's only at the hour mark and then you are done. So grab some drinks, get wasted and laugh your ass off. Just watch out for Maddisen K. Krown's eyes they are funny as hell (bulging like they are about to pop out of her skull when she is scared, happy, concerned or just sitting around), but they can also cause nightmares. Overall a skull, but for shits and giggles it's a 3.Have You Read...?

NA3HL Division Finals Preview
March 24, 2016
The NA3HL Silver Cup Playoffs continue this weekend with the Division Finals. All games are a best of three series.
As a refresher, the champions of this weekend's six division finals series automatically qualify for the Silver Cup Championship to be held from March 30-April 3 at Canlan Ice Sports in Romeoville, Illinois.
At the conclusion of the Division Finals, the six teams that lost Division Final series shall be ranked from 1-6 based on their regular season point totals. The regular season tiebreaking procedures will be used if necessary. The two top ranked teams shall be declared the Silver Cup Wild Card teams and shall advance onto the Silver Cup Championship Tournament as the seventh and eighth seeds, respectively.
The action this weekend begins on Thursday, March 24th and potentially could continue through Sunday, March 27th.
Watch the action live on FASTHockey
Central Division
#1 North Iowa Bulls vs. #2 La Crosse Freeze – Both teams swept their way into the Division Finals, but the Bulls have been totally dominant from start to finish. They swept their season series against the Freeze this year, 4-0 and outscored the Freeze in the process, 20-4 in the four games. If there is a silver lining for La Crosse, it is that North Iowa has already clinched a spot in the Silver Cup, thanks to being the #1 overall seed. So even if the Bulls were to lose the Division Finals, they would be one of the two top wildcard teams. However, don't expect the Bulls to take the series lightly as they would like to continue their string of divisional playoff titles.
Game 1: Friday, March 25 @ North Iowa
Game 2: Saturday, March 26 @ La Crosse
Game 3: Sunday, March 27 @ North Iowa*
* if necessary
East Division
#1 Metro Jets vs. #3 West Michigan Wolves – This year's Cinderella through the opening round is West Michigan, who upset Toledo in rather convincing fashion. The Jets have been so dominant that they have lost just two games in regulation since November 7th. However, like North Iowa, Metro is already in the Silver Cup Tournament as they are the #2 seed overall. So, even if they were to lose, they would be one of the top two wildcard teams. The Wolves also begin the series at home, which if they could take Game 1, would set them up nicely for another upset and a return to the Silver Cup. However, the Jets were 11-1 against the Wolves this season, so in order for West Michigan to advance they will have to beat Metro twice, something they did not do in 12 games during the regular season.
Game 1: Thursday, March 24 @ West Michigan
Game 2: Friday, March 25 @ Metro
Game 3: Saturday, March 26 @ Metro*
*if necessary
Frontier Division
#1 Yellowstone Quake vs. #2 Great Falls Americans – The series between Yellowstone and Great Falls has the makings of an instant classic. Each team sweated out their Semi-Final series with the Quake needing an OT goal in Game 3 and the Americans winning two, one-goal games. The loser of this series still have a shot on the wildcard, depending on how the other series go, but they will both be rooting for the #1 seeds in the other divisions. The two teams played eight times during the regular season with the Quake winning five of the eight games. Look for goaltending to be key in this series as well. Great Falls starts the series at home with their lone home game in Game 1, so winning will be almost a must.
Game 1: Thursday, March 24 @ Great Falls
Game 2: Saturday, March 26 @ Yellowstone
Game 3: Sunday, March 27 @ Yellowstone
*if necessary
Midwest Division
#1 St. Louis Jr. Blues vs. #3 Nashville Jr. Predators – St. Louis enters the division finals as the #3 overall seed, so they are in pretty good shape for a spot in the Silver Cup. However, the Jr. Blues would like to win and advance automatically. As a #3 seed out of the Midwest, Nashville is in a much more desperate situation, needing a series win to advance. Nashville is one of two #3 seeds remaining in the playoffs, as they pulled the slight upset of Peoria last weekend, using tight defense and goaltending to do so. They will need to do the same to St. Louis, who is a high-powered offensive bunch. The Jr. Blues won five of eight games played during the regular season between the two clubs.
Game 1: Thursday, March 24 @ St. Louis
Game 2: Friday, March 25 @ Nashville
Game 3: Saturday, March 26 @ St. Louis
*if necessary
South Division
#1 Point Mallard Ducks vs. #2 Texas Jr. Brahmas – Things couldn't be more even between Point Mallard and Texas, as both teams enter the South Finals with the exact same record (35-9-3) and both teams having been pushed to the three-game limit last weekend. There are also several scenarios where the loser of this series still has a good chance to get in the Silver Cup as one of two wildcards, but they need to root for all the #1 seeds in the other divisions to win. Because of the distance between the two clubs, Point Mallard will host all three games. They ended up the higher seed despite the same record because they went 4-0 against Texas during the regular season.
Game 1: Friday, March 25 @ Point Mallard
Game 2: Saturday, March 26 @ Point Mallard
Game 3: Sunday, March 27 @ Point Mallard*
*if necessary
West Division
#1 Granite City Lumberjacks vs. #2 Twin City Steel – The West Division Finals are quite literally a winner takes all scenario, which will make for a great series. Both teams do not have enough points to qualify as a wildcard, so the West champion will be the lone representative. Granite City is trying to make it back to the Silver Cup where they won the title last season. The Lumberjacks have won the cup two of the last four seasons. Both teams were pushed to the three-game limit in their series last weekend. Each team won four times in the eight games during the regular season and each team scored 28 goals in those eight games. It is literally a coin flip, which is why the Lumberjacks are hoping that home ice will be the difference.
Game 1: Friday, March 25 @ Granite City
Game 2: Saturday, March 26 @ Twin City
Game 3: Sunday, March 27 @ Granite City*
