NightStay Hotel Suites®
Our Concierge Monitors Your Furry One Throughout the Night
Each hotel suite is an individual, enclosed room that features a custom made bed that has an innerspring mattress, pillows, comforters, rugs and raised feeders. Our state of the art Energy Recovery Ventilation system cleans the air in each suite of the hotel and the entire facility. Each suite is fully heated and cooled to provide a comfortable temperature for sleeping.
The goal is quiet! The NightStay Hotel Concierge monitors each guest every 20 minutes to ensure a good night's sleep for all. Anxious or nervous kids are immediately given attention and barking during the night is minimized so that all will sleep well.
There are eight flatscreen tvs mounted on the wall in the center of the hotel. NightStay Hotel guests are treated to snacks and a movie every night, creating a comfortable, home-like environment in a very professional setting. When it's time for sleep the flicker of light from the movie and the background noise helps our guests feel right at home.
We welcome you to bring your dog's bed, favorite toy or blanket from home. We can also remove linens if your dog likes to turn them into toys!
Specialized Care
We have a very high level of monitoring throughout your dog's stay. Each meal is tracked as appetite is sometimes a challenge for kids being away from home. A guest's general temperament is watched carefully to make sure they are getting enough rest. Medication administration is tracked by three managers every day to ensure proper dosing and follow up. If your furry one gets nervous being away from home we can suggest calming supplements to help them settle in to the environment. We cater to all kids and take special care with sensitive tummies or special diets. Let us know how we can prepare food the same way you do at home.
We encourage you to call anytime of the day or night for an update on your furry ones.
Suites can be customized to fit your individual needs. Let us know how we can make your dog's stay the best ever.
Stop by for a facility tour anytime or visit our virtual page.
Daily Activity Options
Guests that stay in their suite during the day will be walked every two hours as a standard. This is a quick elimination walk that gives kids more access to the outdoors and allows them stretch their legs every two hours. This attention and high level of monitoring also provides more human companionship during the day. Again, this is our standard and there is no extra charge for this walk every two hours.
Guests that pass our temperament test may join the DayStay Program during a hotel visit. DayStay Program attendance is offered to hotel guests at a discounted rate from regular program fees. Guests that are able to exercise during the day will sleep much better at night. DayStay Program attendance is not required for hotel guests. Hotel guests will enjoy a mid-day break in their suites for a nap or lunch and rejoin the program for the afternoon. Additional fees apply.
We also offer Private Playtime. We understand that the group play environment is not for everyone. This option is for kids that will not be joining the group play environment due to health, behavior or breeding status. Private Playtime is one on one play time with a DayStay Coach and is customized for each guest. Playtime may include throwing tennis balls, chasing our jumbo balls or perhaps just cuddling and giving that extra individual attention. Additional fees apply.
It's a Slumber Party!
BreedAbove's NightStay Hotel Suites have become quite popular during holiday and peak travel times. We encourage early reservations to ensure your furry one will have a suite. When the individual suite rooms are reserved we turn other areas of our facility into sleeping areas; it's a Slumber Party!
Slumber Party offers two types of environments. Dogs that are temperament tested and approved for Slumber Party in the Atrium Room will enjoy memory foam matting, comforters, beds and comfy pillows (just like a suite) but get to sleep with their buddies. It's really like a slumber party! Partition sleeping is also used for super breed kids that do not enjoy a crate environment.
The second option is for kids that sleep better alone. We can offer an extra large crate (just under 3'X4') for sleeping and eating. The crate also includes memory foam matting and a comforter for an added comfort.
Holiday and Peak Period Reservations
All NightStay Hotel Suite reservations require a one night, non-refundable deposit due at the time of the reservation. Please understand that if you cancel your reservation the deposit is non-refundable and non-transferrable to other services. The $55 deposit will be applied to the balance of the bill at the end of the hotel stay.

Why There's No Shortcut To Spirituality
I started practicing yoga a long time ago. I was living in Portland, Oregon, in the early nineties. Even then Portland was a pretty laid-back, hippie-dippy city. Yet if you told someone you practiced yoga, they immediately assumed your freak flag was flying pretty high. I didn't mind that, though. Being a Southern California girl, I was happy to be a little freaky. Besides, I was digging how yoga made me feel.
My first yoga class was held in a community college cafeteria. We had to show up early to push aside the plastic, picnic-style tables to clear some space on the dirty linoleum floor to roll out our mats, or towels, or blankets to start our practice. No Lululemon, no Manduka mats, nothing cute about the whole experience.
But I loved it. I was a big athlete before coming to yoga. I loved playing most sports. Basketball, biking, volleyball, tennis. Anything that got me moving. Yet when I moved to the beautiful North Wet, the joy of these outdoor sports lost a lot of their appeal in the rain. So I looked in the local community college extracurricular class guide and found a yoga class. How hard could a little stretching be?
After my first yoga class, I was blown away. I woke up the next day completely sore. From a little stretching? How was that possible? And I felt lighter, something I desperately needed at the time. So I found myself looking forward to Tuesday night yoga sessions with me and the other freaks.
I developed a crush on our teacher, and he eventually asked me out. On our first date, we headed out to the Oregon coast. Although I didn't know all that much about yoga, I decided that a yoga teacher was a fountain of purity. That bubble burst rather quickly. When we stopped for gas on our journey, Ed returned to the car with a Reese Peanut Butter Cup and a pack of cigarettes. Welcome to the world of yoga, where so much more goes on than meets the eye.
Since those early days, I've seen a lot of stuff in the world of yoga. I became a yoga teacher, got connected into a spiritual community, experienced freedom, bliss and meditation. All in all, I thought the world was pretty cool. Yet there was a lot of stuff that didn't sit well with me. Stuff that made my stomach turn, that I knew didn't go hand in hand with the practice. But for many years, I pretty much ignored the ugliness and focused on the light. After all, I was living a yogic life.
Fast forward to today. I'm such a different person than the young woman who first walked into the cafeteria. In some ways, I miss that girl, that innocence, that naiveté. Do I want to return to that place? Perhaps in some ways, yes. I yearn to return to the innocence. I want to forget the disappointment this path has provided. I sometimes wish for the unjaded mind.
But that innocence wasn't real. It was naiveté. I was young, hurt, searching for something that made the world have meaning, make sense. Yoga opened the door for me. It pointed me inward and gave me clues to where happiness resides. That still remains true, but my eyes have seen more of the ego that exists in all realms, especially in the world of yoga. I don't know why I thought that egotism wouldn't exist in yoga. Perhaps I believed the books I read.
Now I see that when someone obtains a position of power, it's so easy to abuse unless they are truly clear. Unfortunately, not many of us in these positions have that clarity, especially the ones who tend to be joiners. I'm not saying this as an outsider. I devoted myself completely for 10 years to a self-proclaimed guru. My life revolved around this "master," and I would have done anything he asked me to do. But he broke my heart when I finally learned and accepted that he was a charismatic narcissist who was interested in being adored.
So when I say that I understand the abuse of power, it comes from personal experience. It's taken me a long time to feel at ease around a spiritual community again. I see the ego, and I see the deception. But finally I am seeing the beauty again. I am grateful that even during my heartache, I kept with my yoga and meditation practice. It was challenging, and often I found it less than satisfying, but something in me knew it wasn't the practice that was faulty. Even though I sometimes long for the eyes of innocence, I realize that my path is to find it again.
This time, though, I want to find it for real. Not through someone else words, or charisma, or asana. There is no magic way or shortcut or pill. It's a solo path, an intimate path that can only be done alone. That younger me was searching for someone else to take me there. Today I realize that I have the strength to do it alone.

EUGENE, Oregon — A Eugene man has been sentenced to life in prison after a jury found him guilty of murder.
31-year-old Timothy Micheal Green was convicted on Tuesday in the May 2017 death of 36-year-old Steven Ray Burton.
Green's attorney asked jurors to find his client guilty of the lesser charge of manslaughter, arguing that Green's decision to shoot Burton was reckless, rather than intentional.
But prosecutor JoAnn Miller argued that murder was the appropriate charge. She said evidence showed Green had acted intentionally when he used a 9mm pistol to shoot Burton in the chest.
Miller said trial evidence showed that Green had used methamphetamine before killing Burton.

A vine quickly grew up and over two shrubs and a perennial bed this summer. It hurts to pull these vines, but the plants below them are turning brown (what I can still see of them, anyway!) What should I do about this mess? Can I spray?
This is a crucial time of year for mile a minute vine, also called tear thumb for good reason. An annual, it must produce berries to perpetuate itself. Berries ripen to bright blue now. They fall at the slightest touch. Since mile a minute vine can do permanent harm to your plants by shading them, thus cutting off photosynthesis, don gloves and pull it off your plants. The vines have almost no root. Be sure to get all berries. There is no spray that will selectively kill a vine immeshed in other plants. Keep a sharp eye out next year for its triangular leaves, so it does not get out of hand. Birds spread these berries.
My cherry laurels' leaves have a million holes. I suspect a disease but wanted an expert opinion and treatment advice.
Cherry laurels are very susceptible to cherry shot hole disease. It can happen yearly but the wet summer we experienced made the problem worse. Rake up and dispose of infected leaves that fall off the shrub. The disease causes cosmetic damage but is not a serious threat to plant health. Spraying with a fungicide is not practical as the spraying regiment begins when the new leaves emerge and continues every two weeks or so throughout the summer. Severe damage can be pruned off in the late winter/early spring and new growth will fill in and mask the other damage.

|Ovarian follicle
|Human ovarian follicle
|folliculi ovarici primarii, folliculi ovarici vesiculosi
|subject #266 1256
|cortical cords
Ovarian follicle is the basic unit of female reproductive biology and is composed of roughly spherical aggregations of cells found in the ovary. They contain a single oocyte (aka ovum or egg). These structures are periodically initiated to grow and develop, culminating in ovulation of usually a single competent oocyte in humans. These eggs/ova are only developed once every menstrual cycle (e.g. once a month in humans).
The cells of the ovarian follicle are the oocyte, granulosa cells and the cells of the internal and external theca layers.
Each month, one of the ovaries releases a mature egg, known as an oocyte. A follicle is an anatomical structure in which the primary oocyte develops. The nucleus of such an oocyte is called a germinal vesicle [1] (see picture).
Granulosa cells within the follicle surround the oocyte; their numbers increase directly in response to heightened levels of circulating gonadotropins or decrease in response to testosterone. They also produce peptides involved in ovarian hormone synthesis regulation. Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) induces granulosa cells to express luteinizing hormone (LH) receptors on their surfaces; when circulating LH binds to these receptors, proliferation stops. [2]
The granulosa cells, in turn, are enclosed in a thin layer of extracellular matrix – the follicular basement membrane or basal lamina (fibro-vascular coat in picture). Outside the basal lamina, the layers theca interna and theca externa are found.
Primordial follicles are indiscernible to the naked eye. However, these eventually develop into primary, secondary and tertiary vesicular follicles. Tertiary vesicular follicles (also called "mature vesicular follicles" or "ripe vesicular follicles") are sometimes called Graafian follicles (after Regnier de Graaf).
In humans, oocytes are established in the ovary before birth and may lie dormant awaiting initiation for up to 50 years [3].
After rupturing, the follicle is turned into a corpus luteum.
In a larger perspective, the whole folliculogenesis from primordial to preovulatory follicle is located in the stage of meiosis I of ootidogenesis in oogenesis.
The embryonic development doesn't differ from the male one, but follows the common path before gametogenesis. Once gametogonia enter the gonadal ridge, however, they attempt to associate with these somatic cells. Development proceeds and the gametogonia turns into oogonia, which become fully surrounded by a layer of cells (pre-granulosa cells).
Oogonia multiply by dividing mitotically; this proliferation ends when the oogonia enter meiosis. The amount of time that oogonia multiply by mitosis is not species specific. In the human fetus, cells undergoing mitosis are seen until the second and third trimester of pregnancy [4]; [5]. After beginning the meiotic process, the oogonia (now called primary oocytes) can no longer replicate. Therefore the total number of gametes is established at this time. Once the primary oocytes stop dividing the cells enter a prolonged 'resting phase'. This 'resting phase' or dictyate stage can last anywhere up to fifty years in the human.
For each primary oocyte that undergoes meiosis, only one functional oocyte is produced. The other two or three cells produced are called polar bodies. Polar bodies have no function and eventually deteriorate.
The primary oocyte turns into a secondary oocyte in mature ovarian follicles. Unlike the sperm, the egg is arrested in the secondary stage of meiosis until fertilization.
Upon fertilization by sperm, the secondary oocyte continues the second part of meiosis and becomes a zygote.
Any ovarian follicle that is larger than about two centimeters is termed an ovarian cyst.

The extra you learn by means of attainable examination papers, the simple you find your exams, quizzes, examinations or any form of evaluation. Sunni Islam accounts for over seventy five% of the world's Muslim population. It acknowledges the Abu Bakr as the first caliph after Muhammad. Sunni has 4 faculties of Islamic doctrine and regulation – Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali – which uniquely interpret the Hadith, or recorded oral traditions of Muhammad. A Sunni Muslim may elect to follow any one in all these faculties, as all are thought of equally valid.

Building corporations and contractors additionally hire Building In cost managers so as to enhance the quality of their projects.

Attend and hook up with feelings. Our ability to assume and act is wrapped up with our emotions. Appreciating what may be occurring for us (and for others) at a particular second; excited about the methods our feelings could also be affecting things; and being open to what our instincts or intuitions are telling us are necessary elements of such reflection. (See Boud et. al. 1985).
Such portfolio standards may be put into place for the producers of refined materials similar to metals, plastics, paper, glass, silicon, and so on. This methodology creates large incentive to right away start making investments in recycling or it forces these commodities producers to face stiff competitors from those that do. The first to market with a mixture of new and recycled merchandise that lowers the general price of the commodity has a giant benefit.

About Frank J. Pietrucha
In the early 1990s I produced a conference on telecommunications in Santiago, Chile. While doing research I met with one of the brightest telecommunications executives in Latin America to discuss industry developments and trends. He desperately tried to explain to me a new innovation that warranted discussion at my event. He launched into a technical discussion about "the next great thing" without explaining to me any of its benefits. It was my first assignment in technology. I had no idea what he was talking about. He tried to explain to me how "it" worked, but never really told me what this special something would mean to billions. How was I to know he was attempting to educate me about what we now call the Internet?
I work with engineers, scientists, economists, lawyers and other smart people to help them mold their ideas into something the rest of us can grasp. I've been "translating" on behalf of the business and technology elite for about 25 years. At A.T. Kearney, a leading management consulting firm, and at The Launch Company, a PR agency specializing in high-tech start-ups, I honed my skills at making complicated subjects easier to understand. I started my own company, Definitive Communications, in 2001; my client list includes George Washington University, the International Intellectual Property Institute, The Hartford and NASA's Ames Research Center.
I came up with the term "supercommunicator" to describe a new breed of forward-thinking professional who can apply classic content development skills to a mindset befitting the quickly evolving millennium. Modeled after the Greek god Hermes who translated messages from Mount Olympus to earth-bound mortals, supercommunicators serve the critical function of de-geeking challenging concepts. It's important for folks with hard-to-understand ideas to come down from the heavens and speak to the rest of us in a language that's meaningful.
I continue to help clients explain their complicated concepts and enjoy sharing my knowledge with others through workshops and at events. I'm a graduate of Cornell University who enjoys travel, skiing, tennis… and my Irish Terrier, Auggie.

I forget, is this the Hope or the Change?
Americans' confidence in the economy fell slightly in September from August, as many became less optimistic about hiring and pay increases over the next six months.
The Conference Board, a New York-based private research group, says its consumer confidence index dropped to 79.7 in September. That's down from August's reading of 81.8.
At least they didn't say "unexpectedly." Because by now we all know what to expect while Obama is still president.

So, all of this hoopla over the hairdo of 16 year-old Olympic gymnastics champion Gabby Douglas this past week was pretty pathetic.
All this hoopla about Gabby's hair instead of her incredible and historic gymnastic accomplishments on the world stage…pathetic.
That said, there were some interesting threads (no pun intended) that came out of "Hair-Gate 2012" like how some black folks took it as an opportunity for a more productive discussion on the impact our hairdos have on our health.
In particular, sports reporter Jason Whitlock and former Olympic gymnast Dominique Dawes talked about how some black women's obsession with hair plays a significant role in making us unhealthy and obese.
Dawes, who went natural last year, spoke to how many sisters forego healthy routines like exercise and swimming over concerns of 'messin' up our hair…' especially after paying to get it lookin' right… (I can just hear the Amen chorus from the sisters right about now.)
In fact, there were a couple of surveys done, one by Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center in N.C., reporting that a third of African-American women studied admitted they exercise less because of the potential harm to their hairstyles.
Let me put this another way. 33 percent of the women asked said they are more concerned about the harm that could come to their hairdo from working out than they are about the harm that can come to their health from not working out.
So we may die from a stroke or complications from diabetes but, man, our 'do is sure gonna look tight at the wake. Folks are gonna be talkin' about it for days after we're six feet under, calling our survivors to ask who our stylist was.
Hopefully, you get the point. We have to recognize the difference between vanity and insanity and not keeping ourselves healthy because of a hairstyle is, yes, insane.
Not to mention that when you exercise, you look and feel better.
And it's not just about us. We have families who love us, depend on us, and want us here living a functional, productive and healthy life.
So no matter how you style your hair, commit yourself to staying healthy. For those looking for tips on maintaining a healthy lifestyle and hairstyle, Harvard University actually produced a pamphlet called "Hair Care Tips for Sisters on the Move."
You can get it at my Facebook page.
I'll leave you with this from blogger and running coach, Monisha Randolph: "Some of us are sitting up right now with our hair done but suffering from high blood pressure, borderline diabetes, obesity, and a lack of energy. I don't know Gabby Douglas personally. However, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that she considers her health and fitness level to be a little more important than her hair staying in place."
Until next time, this is Stephanie in love and hope.
4 thoughts on "Hairy Health?"
http://buyorlistat120mg.org/#7238 modafinil for add
I think this is an important discussion in our community. We are in trouble when it comes to health. However, I think we should be very very careful (in light of all the stereotypes that are out there ) not to boil this down to HAIR!!! Access is an issue. I am fortunate and blessed enough to pay for a gym membership. A working mother of three might not have the same luxury. Also, I want to remind everyone that hair is not just an issue of vanity. When we go into our workplaces we are judged (often unfairly) on our appearance. I wish I had a dollar for every time a white person asked me a question about my hair or about black hair. It is difficult for me to leave the gym and stand in front of 40 students (who are looking for a role model) and wear a slicked back ponytail but ….I have to do what I have to do!!! But it took me a long time to get to this point. Black women do not want to be perceived as "ghetto" or "lacking class" and that is why appearance has become so important.
My final point again…let's be careful and widen this discussion to address "structural" barriers to good health for ALL (not just black women). I promise you this is not just a hair issue. It's bigger than that.
I remember my grandparents always saying oh, she's such a pretty baby she has that good straight hair she must have some indian in her so pretty. Genesis of the mess.
Well said Stephanie. I also read Monisha's column and found it to be very inspirational. As for me, I'm a career woman with a husband and daughter, who finds time (in early mornings) to exercise for 35-45 minutes at least 4 times a week. I'll also note that I have 14 – 22 inch long natural locs, & it takes me about 15 seconds to pull my hair up, back & out of the way while I workout. Later, after my shower & all, I take it down, spray on a quick moisturizer, then a sheen spray, quickly style it & go; – all of about FIVE minutes. No hassle at all!

UPDATE: Go behind the scenes of Bey's new Pepsi spot now!
After that epic six-second preview Beyonce posted yesterday of... something, we now know what we've spent the last 24 hours waiting for: a Pepsi commercial. Boo!
The plus side: We get a pretty decent 45-second snippet of Bey's new song, "Grown Woman," a driving dance floor jam that'll be on gym playlists everywhere as soon as it drops. We also see Beyonce put her acting hat back on as she takes a look in the mirrors in the rehearsal studio and sees reflections of her old selves staring back at her - "Bootylicious" Beyonce, "Crazy in Love" Beyonce and "Single Ladies" Beyonce. So... that's cool?
The down side: This is just a Pepsi commercial! Also, there's no way on earth Beyonce hydrates during practice with a can of Pepsi. (Not even Diet! Regular!) But they do happen to be the company sponsoring her Mrs. Carter tour, so at least she looks damn good pretending.

Maritime Boundary Disputes, Settlement Processes, and the Law of the Sea
Seoung Yong Hong, Jon M. Van Dyke
BRILL, 2009 - Law - 304 pages
A surprising number of maritime boundaries remain unresolved, and a range of reasons can be cited to explain why the process of delimiting these boundaries has been so slow. This volume addresses and analyzes some of these reasons, focusing on some of the volatile disputes in Northeast Asia and in North America. Scholars from Asia, the United States, and Europe grapple with festering controversies and apply insights gained from resolved disputes to those that remain unresolved. Islands continue to haunt this process, and the way in which they should affect maritime boundaries remains in dispute. The United States has a number of disputed boundaries with its neighbors to the north and south, and these are examined. Antarctica is a concern of all nations, and the regimes governing the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica are analyzed. The International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea was created to allow countries to resolve their disputes peacefully, and two chapters look at how this new court is operating. The impact of sea-level rise on maritime boundaries is given special attention in the opening chapter. This volume presents a wonderful collection of provocative chapters written by the top scholars in the field of International Ocean Law. It should help scholars, students, and decision makers to understand the current state of this field and to move some of the difficult disputes toward resolution.

I am creating an assessment database and using cakephp for the first time. I have gotten all the data entry and editing sorted but am having trouble retrieving some crucial data from a deep association:
The essence is
Course HABTM Units (table courses_units)
Unit hasMany Artefacts
Artefact hasOne AdminArtefact
Artefact belongsTo an Unit
The AdminArtefact model is used for each years dynamic data for an artefact (due_date, late_date and so on).
My problem is when I want to get all the due dates of artefacts for a particular course (which we need to check for hand in congestion)
If I do a findAll in the Artefacts controller with recursion set to '2' it gets all the data I need...but it overloads the page due to the amount of data returned. So I want to set the conditions for the findAll for the specific fields I need. However I cannot set the course in the query - From my understanding the course data is pulled from a 'separate' query as it appears in the results like this:
[Course] => Array
[0] => Array
[id] => 2
[course_code] => C0767S
[course_name] => BSc (hons) Entertainment Technology
[course_local_code] => ET
[course_leader] => 6
[colour] =>
[CoursesUnit] => Array
so as part of the query, I cannot set the course equal to a specific one, which I need to do so I can also specify the other data elements I want to pull and not the wealth of other data.
Ive tried loading the Unit model and changing the bind to a belongsTo instead of HABTM to the courses_units table but got the same dataset back again.
Ive tried going 'higher up the chain' to the CourseUnits controller and doing a '$uses' and specified all the relevant tables I want to pull data from but that didn't get anything useful.
Reading up on HABTM it doesn't automatically pull the data so I looked at joining the tables, but couldn't really see which model to make the join to get it to work.
I need to put this to bed now so hence I am asking the question: What is the most elegant way to get the due dates for all the artefacts for a specific course? (I need the course, the unit, the artefact and the due date...so something from all the tables)
QUERY String I want to use in Artefacts controller:
$data = $this->Artefact->find('all', array(
'fields' => array('Artefact.reference', 'AdminArtefact.due_date', 'ArtefactUnit.short_code', 'Course.course_code' )));
This gives the error:
Error: SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'Course.course_code' in 'field list'
Thanks in advance!

public $displayField = 'course_name';

Since Stephen Paul's Whiskey del Bac started shipping out to bars across Tucson in 2013, it has been close to impossible to meet local demand. The small copper pot-still at Hamilton Distillers never had a chance once it found regular distribution. In response to the popularity, del Bac is transitioning from its humble roots in an alleyway off Fourth Avenue to a ramped-up factory at 2106 N. Forbes Blvd.
Global Stainless Systems in Canby, Oregon, provided a new, oversized copper-pot still and set of malting tanks that Paul hopes will produce 4,500 cases a year once it is fully operational. The team has also been talking with BKW Farms in Marana to start sourcing local Conlon barley to add another local ingredient to the process. Paul has already been donating leftover malted barley from the whiskey production process to a number of Arizona farms to use as animal feed. The first distillations began in December so expect the first wave of del Bac whiskey aged in the new facility to hit the market in May. HamiltonDistillers.com.
One reason for del Bac's early success in Tucson was the team's dedication to strong relationships with local bars and restaurants. Bartenders from across the city were included in every stage of the development: label design, early tasting, navigating the multiple liquor distributors on the market. Thanks to their involvement, del Bac has become an unspoken requirement on any new cocktail lists in the burgeoning downtown restaurant scene. Jesse Schaefer, bar manager extraordinaire at The Coronet, is offering the The Hegemon: Whiskey del Bac Classic, Swedish Punsch, Gran Classico, Angostura, lemon, and house grenadine. A strong winter sour with intense stewed fruit flavors, the drink pairs well with Naïm Amor's guitar on the patio. There's always live music at The Coronet on Wednesdays and Thursdays and usually some other day of the week. The Coronet also sports an extensive classic cocktail list, a selection of which is only $5 during happy hour (3-6 p.m., Monday-Friday). Thursdays seem to be the night to visit, with live music, strong cocktails, and a prix-fixe menu from chefs Jake Alpert and Erika Bostick-Esham. 402 E. Ninth St. 520.222.9889. CafeCoronet.com.
R Bar—self-described as "Tucson's Best Alley Bar," located in the alleyway next to the Rialto Theater—hosted its inaugural Bon Vivant's Club on Dec. 4. The club will be hosted the first Thursday of each month and feature a selection of a half dozen wines that exemplify a particular wine-growing region. Rory O'Rear, head mixologist and host of the wine-tasting club, focuses on wines under the "natural wine" banner that is, wines with minimal intervention, low to no sulfites, lack of filtration, or produced following the principles of biodynamic agriculture Natural wine is something of a new product in most wine markets, as it fails to compete with large production wines, whose marketing budgets alone eclipse the entire budgets of these small farms. The opportunity to try a generous selection of these special bottles side-by-side is a rarity anywhere, let alone the often-forgotten Arizona market. The third meeting of the Bon Vivant Club will be Feb. 5 and will focus on the wines of Burgundy. Register online at rbartucson.com (it fills up fast) to taste the best selection of Chablis you will find anytime soon in Arizona. 350 E. Congress St., No. 110. 520.305.3599. RBarTucson.com.
Lee's Runway Bar and Grill, located on Alvernon south of 29th Street, is a bit of a legend in the Tucson dive bar scene. If you haven't yet visited, it's a neighborhood blue collar bar that serves cold domestic beer, hosts live music of every variety imaginable, plays football replays on an old cathode-ray-tube TV, and is owned by a charismatic woman who sells jars of the best kimchee in town from behind the bar. Huicha "Lee" Smith moved to Tucson in hopes of pursuing an art career but quickly found herself working as a cocktail waitress in the officers' club at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base. After years of working on base and at the nearby Disabled American Veterans chapter, Smith got an opportunity from a friend in the Korean community to take over Runway, which caters to military personnel and working class folks nearby. The bar represents everything a neighborhood watering hole should be; the Korean cuisine only makes a trip down even more enticing. Smith tries to make fresh kimchee every Sunday or Monday—she usually runs out of time on Sunday because she has to take her grandchildren to church—so make sure to stop by on Wednesday or Thursday to pick up a few jars, enjoy a Budweiser, and have a conversation with one of the postal workers drinking on the patio. 2101 S. Alvernon Way. 520.790.6288.

Time Out says
We could tell you the tres leches cake is moist, rich and milky. But it's enough to say that Rick Bayless name-checked it as his favorite, and it's the best (if not the only) reason to visit this dim, quiet Pilsen café. Pair a slice of the caramel version with a cup of Intelligentsia coffee for a one-two sugar-caffeine punch.

Super cute neighborhood cafe that is family-owned and a cozy spot to sip coffee and eat their amazing sweets. They are known for their delicious tres leches cake (Rick Bayless has said in the past it's the best in the city), but also grab a slice of chocoflan, part cake and flan that inverts as it cooks. Their food menu is simple but solid, grab a tamale that is steamed in a banana leaf or my favorite, their chorizo quesadilla. Coffee is decent but the tres leches is the real reason to visit. Check the hours before you go, they are slightly odd.

By: Jonan Castillon <||> It's our first New Year in Auckland and I can say that our celebration is quite unique. It was very far from the noisy and explosive celebration that we have in the Philippines.
The stillness of December 31 midnight drowned the very few firecracker pops that some nearby families lighted to mark the coming of January 1, 2012.
After that, there was complete silence in the neighborhood. I assumed that it's either everyone was sleeping peacefully or having intimate and silent celebration in their homes.
The rain and the cold wind discouraged us to view the night sky. We were hoping that somehow, somebody in the community would light some fireworks. There was none.
The Football/Cricket field at Bond Reserve in Forrest Hill Suburb, Northshore City is just across our home. It offers a vantage place for viewing fireworks.
However, in the stillness of the night, we greeted New Year 2012 in silence. I wasn't dismayed at all nor was I concerned that a silent New Year would mean something bad may happen. Lots of Filipinos believe that the noise of firecrackers or any medium will drive bad spirits away.
If this is true, then the bad spirits demonizing our country might have been wiped out by now after the many, many years of celebrating New Year with fireworks and loud "noises".
In the cold, rainy, and silent New Year in Auckland, I reflected that what makes our lives abundant and glorious are those that are founded on patience and hard work.
There is the Great Almighty, Loving, and Merciful God who has provided completely the resources for sustaining and enjoying life, whether you are in Auckland or Philippines. Faith makes patience attainable in whatever circumstances because you are certain that God will deliver.
Hard work and diligence are needed to harness what God has prepared for us. It is the simple principle that if I wanted to achieve what God has in store for me; I must work diligently for it.
I will always remember that our first New Year in Auckland was a cold, rainy, and silent New Year.
However, looking beyond the sunset that adorns daily our horizon here in our new home in Auckland, we are in for a very explosive year and years ahead because we have the Almighty God working silently behind us.
Jonan Castillon and his family are from Iloilo and moved to live in Auckland late last year. He blogs and keep busy with work and family and serving in the ministry of his local church in his new country, New Zealand.

Supreme Court hears Confederate license plate case today
One of the more interesting cases in front of the Supreme Court gets its day in front of the Justices on Monday, as lawyers will argue about Texas' right to ban a vehicle license plate that features the Confederate flag.
The case is called Walker III V. Texas Division, Sons Of Confederate Veterans, Inc., and the Court will settle a dispute about the boundaries between government speech and free speech.
The Constitution's First Amendment free speech clause limits government restrictions on private free speech, and it also allows the government to speak for itself. Two recently debated questions are how far can the government go in expressing a viewpoint that isn't neutral? And do such opinions restrict free speech made by private individuals or groups?
The Texas case came about in 2009, when Texas Sons of Confederate Veterans (or SCV) submitted an application to the state's specialty license program for a plate design that featured the Confederate battle flag.
The Texas Department of Motor Vehicle Board reviews applications and asks for public comments on prospective plates in the program. There were plenty of comments about the Confederate battle flag design. The Board voted to decline the application, citing a policy that it "may refuse to create a new specialty license plate if the design might be offensive to any member of the public."
The SCV sued, claiming a violation of its First Amendment free speech rights and a 14th Amendment violation, and that Texas used a government-held viewpoint to discriminate against the SCV. Texas countered with the argument that it had government speech rights and the ability to choose which messages appeared on state-issued license plates.
In two lower court fights, one side won each round. A similar issue was considered in other federal courts, where the verdicts were split.
At the heart of the Texas case is the nature of the license plates. Texas argues that as government property, the state has the right to control the language on the plates, and citizens have the right to display (or not display) the vanity plates.
The SCV says that the state, by starting the specialty license plate program, has made it a venue for private speech. Using a "reasonable test" theory, it argues that any person seeing the plate would know that the vehicle owner made a decision to display it, to express their own personal viewpoint.
Two prior Supreme Court cases will play a prominent role in the deliberations. In the 1977 decision in Wooley v. Maynard, the Court said that the state of New Hampshire couldn't force residents to display a license plate with the state motto: Live Free or Die. It considered the license plate, as part of the car, as private property, and said the state couldn't force citizens to "use their private property as a 'mobile billboard' for the State's ideological message." But the Wooley decision didn't tackle the issue of government speech head on.
And in the Pleasant Grove City v. Summum decision from 2009, a unanimous court said that the Pleasant Grove, Utah government didn't have to display a monument from Summum, a religious organization, in a public park that also contained a 10 Commandments monument.
But in a concurring opinion, Justice David Souter spoke about the reasonable person test, and "whether a reasonable and fully informed observer would understand the expression to be government speech, as distinct from private speech the government chooses to oblige." This theory will be tested in the Walker V. Texas Division deliberations.
So the Court is considering two questions.
First, does the specialty license plate program constitute private speech under the First Amendment or is it government speech?
And if the license plate program is private speech, is the rejection of the Confederate Flag plate an impermissible "viewpoint discrimination" or is it a reasonable "content discrimination"?
The Courts have decided in the past that the government can restrict free-speech content, but only in a very narrow way and if there is a compelling state interest. In this case, the argument from Texas will be that it can control all messages on specialty license plates, regardless of their viewpoint, through its government speech powers. It also will argue that if the plates represent private speech, it can't be forced to take part in a debate "regarding the proper understanding or significance of the Confederate battle flag."
And the SCV will point to the Texas DMV Board policy that it can reject designs that "might be offensive to any member of the public" as clear discrimination against almost any private viewpoint.
There is a lot more to this very interesting case, and we'll have more analysis and discussion later this week.

There´s such pressure in writing the first entry. So much build up and expectation. Given that, i´m going to keep this short and save the detailed commentary for later. I´m writing you from the Hotel Meson de Tulum in Cancun, Mexico. I´ve only got a few minutes before i need to grab my stuff and head to the bus terminal to catch a ride to Chetumal, then on to Belize City.
Everything is going well so far. Getting in was a bit rough, as i apparently needed a GPS system to find this place - I was walking around downtown Cancun for two hours with my huge pack. Needless to say a 6-9 gringo with a big-ass backpack draws some attention, especially when he passes by the same spot about 5 times.
Obviously, i found it - got some rest, and did some exploring. Cancun is really two cities. The one you´re thinking of is the Hotel Zone. This is where all the rich folk and spring breakers go. if you´ve ever been to Panama City, Destin or pretty much any coastal city in America, add in some Vegas-sized hotels and some water, and you´ve seen this part of Cancun. I´m staying in "old" Cancun, near the bus station. It´s a lot more "authentic", and much less americanized.
Yesterday i made it out to Chichen Itza, a set of Mayan ruins about 50-60 miles inside the Yucutan. They were impressive - i´ll post some pictures as soon as i can. I took an organized tour - well worth the price of $45 for a full day of sightseeing. Our guide was a dude named David, who i can only describe as an elderly Mexican version of Gomez Addams from the original Addams Family. He was great.
Ok - I really do need to run. I´ll work on some pictures, and give you some more thoughts as soon as i can.

Doug is showing his ignorance again! Any good drug addict knows peyote mainly grows in the Southwest US and down through central Mexico. Since Cancun is in the extreme eastern part of Mexico peyote isn't common. Then again, Matt is a pretty resourceful fellow and probably packed plenty of illegal pharmaceuticals for his adventure.
|Shawn McGrew | Sat Jan 13, 2007 @ 02:16AM
Chichen Itza and Tulum are both amazing. I love the culture and climate of that part of the world. You picked a good place to start, especially since we have several inches of ice on the ground at this moment and I can hear it pelting the windows as I type. I hope you are having a good time and God Speed with you travels.
|Stacey Bellomo | Sat Jan 13, 2007 @ 03:04PM
Oh, you think you're so fancy! Well, compete with this: I changed 14 diapers, made 200 visits to the potty, four trips to Target last week, and am currently iced in with two little ones and their drippy noses. You're not the only one living the good life, you see. Ha!
In all seriousness, you know we're thrilled for you and anxious to live vicariously through your experiences until travel returns to our lives. At that time, we'll take your top 10 list of where we should go. Be safe and enjoy!

In a short story by Isaac Babel, "My First Fee", I found a section describing his effort at obtaining the services of a prostitute in Tiflis, using "Palestine" as his pick-up line:
...I had no choice but to look for love. Needless to say, I found it. For better or worse, the woman I chose turned out to be a prostitute. Her name was Vera. Every evening I went creeping after her along Golovinsky Boulevard, unable to work up the courage to talk to her. I had neither money for her nor words-those dull and ceaselessly burrowing words of love. Since childhood, I had invested every drop of my strength in creating tales, plays, and thousands of stories. They lay on my heart like a toad on a stone. Possessed by demonic pride, I did not want to write them down too soon. I felt that it was pointless to write worse than Tolstoy. My stories were destined to survive oblivion. Dauntless thought and grueling passion are only worth the effort spent on them when they are draped in beautiful raiment. But how does one sew such raiment?
A man who is caught in the noose of an idea and lulled by its serpentine gaze finds it difficult to bubble over with meaningless, burrowing words of love. Such a man is ashamed of shedding tears of sadness. He is not quick-witted enough to be able to laugh with happiness. I was a dreamer, and did not have the knack for the thoughtless art of happiness. Therefore I was going to have to give Vera ten rubles of my meager earnings.
I made up my mind and went to stand watch outside the doors of the Simpatia tavern. Georgian princes in blue Circassian jackets and soft leather boots sauntered past in casual parade. They picked their teeth with silver toothpicks and eyed the carmine-painted Georgian women with large feet and slim hips. There was a shimmer of turquoise in the twilight. The blossoming acacias howled along the streets in their petal-shedding bass voices. Waves of officials in white coats rolled along the boulevard. Balsamic streams of air came flowing toward them from the Karzbek Mountains.
Vera came later, as darkness was falling. Tall, her face a radiant white, she hovered before the apish crowd, as the Mother of God hovers before the prow of a fishing boat. She came up to the doors of the Simpatia. I hesitated, then followed her.
"Off to Palestine?"
Vera's wide, pink back was moving in front of me, She turned around,
She frowned, but her eyes were laughing.

"Refueling in Mid Air": Learning How To Rest While Working Hard
alec vanderboom
To my shock, I've found that once I get over the painful start of "Oh my goodness, its been another night of no sleep", I do feel better after I get some small tasks accomplished. Work is restful. More restful, than sitting still and watching TV, drinking coffee, reading the internet, or complaining about how little sleep I get with a newborn in my house.
It doesn't make any sense to me that small amounts of proper, focused work for God can make me feel better than totally relaxing after a hard night with my baby.
I've starting calling this God paradox "refueling in midair."
Work is prayer. Prayer is rest.
The Benedictine Sisters taught me to "work at prayer, and pray during work."
In Tennis, it's always better to play tennis with someone significantly better than you. I think that principle applies also to the spiritual life. Whenever I hang out with someone significantly higher than me on the spiritual plane, I am so excited. I feel like I come back to my regular life with six new power serves. Thank you Benedictine's for being a place of focus and encouragement in the world!

After a brief hiatus LinA In LA on Moheak is back with some primo talents: Prima Donna in studio this Thursday, June 7th. The band (who will be making several stops along the golden coast over the summer months, starting this Saturday at the AMPLIFi in Hollywood) made sound waves when they partnered with another California-based band you may have heard of: Green Day.
Prima Donna frontman Kevin Preston was part of Green Day side-project Foxboro Hot Tubs, which got Prima Donna an invitation to tour with the band as well as access to Green Day's private recording studio to record their own tracks, some of which you'll hopefully hear Thursday.
We've covered the band more than a few times over the years, by the way. Check out a couple links below!

Book Spotlight: Faking It by Christine d'Abo
(Ringside Romance #2)
by Christine d'Abo
Date Released: May 8, 2017
About Faking It
Max Tremblay should be happy. His nightclub, Frantic, is one of the most popular gay clubs in Toronto, and his childhood refuge, Ringside Gym, is well on the way to reopening. But when he finds yet another drunk in the alley beside the bar, Max isn't sure this is the life he truly wants.
Grady Barnes has it all. He's rich, famous, and wants for nothing. Well, nothing but a good relationship with his father. When he discovers that his father is going to force him into an arranged marriage, Grady has had enough. He tracks down Max, the man who got him to safety after a night of overindulgence, and makes him a proposal: pretend to be his fiancé for two weeks and he'll invest in Ringside Gym.
When the pair travel to Vancouver to attend a family wedding, the flames of their mutual attraction ignite, and they discover that the only difference between pretend and reality is how well they can fake it.

About the Ringside Romance series
Deep in the heart of Toronto lies Ringside Gym. Once a safe haven for troubled teens, Ringside has gone derelict, a forgotten memory of past days. Until a group of friends set out to do what they can to bring life back to the ring and create a new home for LGBT youths.
But when their lives threaten to pull down their dreams, each man must turn to others to help make it a reality. Winners take all—but there are no losers in love.
Learn more about the Ringside Romance series on Riptide Publishing.
A Note from Christine d'Abo
Hello, my name is Christine d'Abo and I'm so happy to be here today.
I'm a firm believer that the good friends are the family members that we get to choose. The get us on a level that sometimes our biological family doesn't. When I came up with the idea of Ringside Gym and the men who were involved with it, I wanted to make sure that their relationships reflected that feeling.
Max would be the "middle" child of the trio of heroes. He's my peacemaker, the one who wants to make sure everyone and everything is okay. But Max has a problem – he doesn't know what to do when he's not needed. Zack no longer needs him now that he has Noland in his life, and their other friend Eli has been MIA due to his MMA career. Max's life begins to drift and he questions not only what he wants, but also who he wants in it.
When Grady Barnes shows up on the scene, Max is equal parts intrigued and annoyed. Here is a man who seems to have it all, but is seemingly at the whim of his father. When Grady asks Max for help, he takes a leap of faith and agrees. What Max doesn't anticipate is how quickly Grady will work his way into his heart.
All Max needs to do is find a way to prevent Grady from being forced into a marriage he doesn't want, while not giving in to his impulse to sweep Grady into his arm.
Simple, right?
A romance novelist and short story writer, Christine d'Abo has over thirty publications to her name. She loves to exercise and stops writing just long enough to keep her body in motion too. When she's not pretending to be a ninja in her basement, she's most likely spending time with her family and two dogs.

The Australian Ballet
Le Spectre de la Rose (1911): Choreography by Michel Fokine, Music by Carl Maria von Weber (Invitation to the Dance, Op. 65), Staging by John Auld, Scenery courtesy of American Ballet Theatre, Costumes by Geoffrey Harman after Léon Bakst, Lighting by Francis Croese, Production Manager: Darren Conway, Performed by Gina Brescianini and Tzu-Chao Chou.
Nothing is worse than eagerly awaiting one of my favorite Ballets Russes icons, Le Spectre de la Rose, by Michel Fokine, only to realize Im watching a passive, dull, paper-thin Rose. With borrowed scenery from American Ballet Theatre, this performance was even a larger let-down, as I could envision Herman Cornejo and once, Carlos Acosta, in this sensual, hormonal, seductive role. Tzu-Chao Chou was attractive, youthful, and contained, but never propulsive, possessed, or panther-like. From the moment The Rose bounds through the living room window, to the strains of Webers Invitation to the Dance, and partners the sleeping Girl, who still carries a long-stem rose, given to her by a dance partner at The Ball, the dream begins. The audience dreams along with The Girl, and the moment becomes palpable and resonant. Gina Brescianini fulfilled her sleep-dancing role with sensitivity and balance, but there was not an ounce of chemistry, not that I blame her. Id like to re-visit this company with another work and another cast.
Sang Jijia
Snow (2007): Choreography by Sang Jijia, Music by Wim Mertens, Scenery by Sang Jijia, Lighting by Tan Keam Beng, Performed by Sang Jijia.
Snow was enjoyable for its wistfully eloquent ambiance, with light, then heavier snow, falling on the blackened stage. Sang Jijia, who dances his own work, did little to elevate the experience beyond the ambient pleasure. His choreography is repetitive, uninteresting, twirling, falling, writhing, twisting, jumping, and who would have known if he improvised the entire time. He danced alone, and the music was recorded, new age, by Wim Mertens. With so many worthy dance companies and works unseen in New York, this choice was puzzling for such an esteemed festival.
Diana Vishneva
The Dying Swan (1907): Choreography by Michel Fokine, Music by Camille Saint-Saëns (from the Carnaval des animaux suite), Musicians: Borislav Strulev on Cello and Maxim Mogilevsky on Piano, Performed by Diana Vishneva.
Diana Vishnevas The Dying Swan, a familiar work in New York, and a tribute to Ballets Russes Michel Fokine (the final Ballets Russes tribute of this festival), was luxurious, graceful, and polished. Ms. Vishneva has refined her interpretation with undulating wing-like arms, slowly falling torso against her outstretched limbs, and a mournful, moody demeanor. Borislav Strulev and Maxim Mogilevsky persuasively performed on cello and piano, and City Center acquired a hushed atmosphere, in advance of the rollicking, Revelations.
Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater
Revelations (1960): Choreography by Alvin Ailey, Music: Traditional, Décor and Costumes by Ves Harper, Costumes for Rocka My Soul redesigned by Barbara Forbes, Lighting by Nicola Cernovitch, Performed by the Company.
Alvin Aileys 1960 Revelations is always the perfect closer for any New York dance festival, and tonight was no exception. The company arrived with its most renowned interpreters of Fix Me, Jesus (Linda Celeste Sims and Glenn Allen Sims), Wade in the Water (Matthew Rushing, Renee Robinson, and tonight with Constance Stamatiou), Sinner Man (Clifton Brown, along with Jamar Roberts and Michael Francis McBride), and much of the company in the remaining segments, ending with the energizing, Rocka My Soul in the Bosom of Abraham. The Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater can be seen, as always, during the month of December, right here at New York City Center, and their ever expanding repertory is thrilling on every level.

Hello blogging friends. I'm so thrilled to be posting for the first time as a design team member for Top Dog Dies.
Now that New Year's celebrating is over I am thinking it's time to create some
Valentines. When I saw this Heart Doily die, I knew I wanted to create a shaker
card with it.
Want to give it a try? Here's what you'll need...
Top Dog Heart Doily Die
Top Dog Heart Mini Album Finishers Die Set
Top Dog Hearts Border die
Top Dog Vintage Alphabet die
cardstock in white, black, light pink, bright pink, and red
white foam sheet (look in the kid's craft section)
transparency (office supply)
pattern paper
Xyron Creative Station, tape runner
Step 1.
With both dies of the Heart Doily, cut 1 from the foam sheet, and one from light pink cardstock. If your dies are cut apart, use washi tape to keep the dies in place while cutting. These metal dies will cut through the foam with no problem!
Step 2.
Cut the dies apart and using just the outer die, cut 1 from white cardstock and 1 from transparency.
Step 3.
Create some confetti for inside the shaker using the Heart Border die. Cut 1 each from the red, light pink, and bright pink cardstock.
Step 4.
Assembly. Adhere the transparency over the foam heart frame followed by the pink frame. I find I like to use my Xyron Creative Station for shakers to ensure a good adhesive seal all around. This way the confetti and sequins won't leak out. Once the pink frame and transparency are adhered to the foam, run it through the Xyron Creative Station again.
Step 5.
Turn the heart shaker upside down and fill with confetti and sequins. Carefully adhere the white cardstock heart on top.
Step 6.
Now you are ready to create your card with your shaker! I used the Vintage Alphabet die for my S.W.A.K. (sealed with a kiss) and the Heart Mini Album finishers set for the envelope, lips, and heart.
So, I hope you have enjoyed this tutorial today and hope that you will
come see me over on my blog One Scrap At a Time
Have a great week!

I shouldn't do blog posts when I'm hungry. I want to eat all the cookies. I've been gone for quite awhile from blogging because things have been crazy on my end! First of all – I finished up with finals and my first year of graduate school. It seemed nearly impossible at times and I questioned whether it was a mistake often, but I survived and overall, I'm happy. I have an overwhelming amount of work in front of me, but I've started, which is something.
Besides finishing up my first two semesters, I found out that I'll be teaching all next year. HOORAH! FUNDING! No one (minus perhaps my parents) realize what a relief this is for me. I've been worrying about it a ton and filling out so many applications and I finally got a position that I think I'm going to be incredibly happy with! It'll be tons of work, but I'm looking forward to the challenge. After finals and celebrating my new position, I headed out for a week with Kyle. It went crazy quick (like it always does), but I got to spend a lot of time with close friends which was a great destresser from school. I'm at home now for a friends wedding this weekend (first time as a bridesmaid!) before heading to Europe for a couple weekends! I'm starting to get excited, but it honestly hasn't hit me that I'm going on vacation and not back to school! After that, it's fieldwork then back to work! It seems like I have so much to do in such a short summer. However, I'm looking forward to cooking and baking in my free time and what says summer more than s'mores?!

Former St. Thomas Aquinas Stars Make Huge Impact
Major Wright (left) & Wes Byrum
Loudmouth college basketball analyst Dick Vitale would call them "diaper dandies". The college football season is young. But it hasn't taken long for Major Wright and Wes Byrum to establish themselves as two of the best freshmen in the country. Just a year ago, Wright and Byrum were teammates at St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Fort Lauderdale. But yesterday, they became opponents in one of college football's biggest upsets.
During last night's 20-17 Auburn victory over #4 Florida, Byrum kicked a 43 yard field goal as time expired to give the Tigers the win. Byrum is the latest in a long line of great kickers to come out of St. Thomas Aquinas. He is the 6th consecutive St. Thomas kicker to go on to play major college football. His predecessor at STA Brett Swenson is a sophomore at Michigan State and one of the top kickers in the country. Indeed, the great tradition of St. Thomas Aquinas kickers goes back all the way to the 1980s with Pat Moons (Michigan), Greg Cox (Miami) and Richie Andrews (Florida State).
Byrum has been the biggest bright spot in Auburn's disappointing 2007 season. Auburn entered the Florida game with a subpar 2-2 record. The winning kick didn't come easy. He was forced to kick it twice. Florida coach Urban Meyer called time out just before Byrum put his foot to the ball and appeared to kick the winning field goal. The ball sailed perfectly between the goal posts, but the the officials waived it off. However, Meyer's head games didn't work and the cool freshman once again delivered with a perfect kick, silencing the majority of the 90,685 fans at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville.
Major Wright is already one of the most devastating hitters in college football. Wright earned the starting strong safety position for the Gators as a true freshman, beating out veteran Kyle Jackson who was a key member of Florida's national championship team a year ago. Last night, Wright had 7 tackles including a forced fumble. I can remember watching him in high school and just destroying every ball carrier in site. He's listed at 6'1 and 200 pounds. But he plays and looks a lot bigger than advertised. Wright has been compared to former UM safety Sean Taylor. Both are big, physical players who hit like linebackers and can cover like cornerbacks.
Longtime St. Thomas Aquinas head coach George Smith is known for his grumpy sideline demeanor. But you know "Grumpy George" had a huge smile on his face watching his former pupils excell on one of college football's biggest stages last night.
