Other than needing more rain, Santa Cruz is enjoying a beautiful sprintime. We will be heading into summer shortly and excitement is always in the air in Santa Cruz. Our summers are usually very mild and cool, unlike most of the country. There are many reasons to visit or enjoy the Santa Cruz area, but, I would have to say that the weather really makes it more attractive than usual. Think hard about visiting our town with our many great events, stores and shops, restaurants and attractions as you will never be disappointed. Thank you for visiting our site, SantaCruzTime.com. This website will help preview some of the favorite local attractions, restaurants, shopping, spas, real estate companies and hotels in Santa Cruz, California that I have come across since moving here. This site allows you to find some of the local websites that I find useful. Just a click away.
Year round is a great time to visit or come to Santa Cruz. Sometimes, the winter months are warmer than some of the summer weather. When summer does come, Santa Cruz is full of people and activities. The weekends are usually very active here in Santa Cruz because of the many people that want to head to the beach or the Boardwalk. The people that come to Santa Cruz are from all parts of the world and it is not unusual to hear three or four different languages when walking on the beach or the pier. The weather is usually cool in the morning where you will probably wear a light coat and then in the afternoon it has been warming up into great weather. We spent July 4th out on the Chardonnay II sailing back and forth along the Seabright Beach watching the fireworks. Wonderful evening and I saw more fireworks than any other time in my life. Try sailing on the Chardonnay when you visit Santa Cruz.
When summer arrives you will find the ocean is alive because the bait fish (sardines) are everywhere. This means that the Pelicans, Sea Lions and other marine and bird life are having a heyday feeding on the schools of sardines. The boats are always coming and going and it is a great time to come and visit, for a day, week or longer. Whale sightings have been plentiful this year for some of the Blue Whales and fewer sightings for the Grey Whales. You always win when you are in a boat on the bay watching for anything. For all you shark fans, there were several reports of a couple large Great Whites off Capitola beach a week or two. Several surfers and fishermen reported the sharks, but, nothing confirmed and nobody eaten. Good week.
Santa Cruz is a great place to live, work, visit or go to school. I have done all the above. First off, let me tell you a little about Santa Cruz, California.
Santa Cruz is the largest city in Santa Cruz county of California. Santa Cruz is the county seat and the last census had the city with around 55,000 population. The city is located on the north end of the Monterey Bay and is approximately 1˝ hours drive south of San Francisco.
The town was incorporated in 1866 and received their first charter in 1876. A major event in the history of Santa Cruz was the October 17th, 1989 earthquake. Many buildings suffered damage and reconstruction of said buildings has taken years to finish. Many of the early Dirty Harry movies showcased parts of Santa Cruz especially the Boardwalk area.
The city enjoys a very mild weather climate year round. The summers could be compared to the Mediterranean with dry summers and cool, wet winters. Since the city boarders the Monterey Bay, fog and overcast is very common in the area. January is the coldest month and September is the warmest. The city and area receives around 31 inches of rain per year with the most coming between November and April. The area averages about 65 days of measurable rain per year.
The City of Santa Cruz is home to a variety of industries including tourism, agriculture and technology. The city and area are known for their organic agriculture production and the CCOR (California Certified Organic Farmers) is based in Santa Cruz. Tourism is very popular year round but the summer and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk attract thousands each summer. Other popular tourist attractions include the Monterey Bay and the redwood forests. Many companies and industries call Santa Cruz their home today and the lifestyle in this city would be considered laid-back and friendly.
The downtown area of Santa Cruz attracts people from all over California as well as worldwide. The downtown attractions include the rich architecture, shopping and the city's eclectic people. Any visit to Santa Cruz must include a trip to Pacific Avenue and the downtown area.

When I stumbled into the world of politics and policy after law school I was surprised to see the dearth of women. In particular, there was lack of African American and multiracial women in elected office or even working on the issues that affected women and minorities the most.
A new short film by Nuala Cabral focuses on women of Color who experience street harassment. It could be a new teaching tool for classrooms, workshops, and communities. How do you see this film being useful for youth?
Last week's revelation by the CDC that one-quarter of teen-age girls have at least one sexually transmitted disease came as no surprise to Michigan health providers, who say such an epidemic is the fruit of a widespread failure to teach teens about sex.
The CDC recently reported that one in four teen girls, sexually active or not, has a sexually transmitted infection. But all four out of four teen girls need better prevention education to avoid STIs and make healthier decisions.

I am a smart, compassionate idealist with a good sense of humor and kind heart. I love engaging conversation, writing, whiskey, the Ithaca summer, and spending time with people who are caring and exciting and make me laugh. I love music of all kinds--I listen to everything from folk to blues to a bit of hip hop. Last few albums played include TV on the Radio (reminds me of NY), Levon Helm (reminds me of everything I love about music), and fun. (reminds me of why it's awesome to get music recommendations from friends). I play flute, and sing a bit. I'm a big fan of baseball (go Mets!!), tennis, and some football and soccer. My politics are left, and I believe in active good government. I came to DC after graduate school to work in public service, and I'm interested in other kinds of service, including rebuilding New Orleans, which I love. I'm a New Yorker, but I think I have a little southern something in me, or maybe I just like a place where you can smile at strangers, hear live music everywhere, and dance in a bar on a Monday night with people of every age, class, and creed! I'm close with my family, including my younger brother and sister, who are awesome. I love to learn new things.

Treatment with electrical current stimulates the smooth muscle cells of the erectile tissue. This musculature is not under self control and so cannot be actively trained. Electrical current pulses stimulate the nerve impulses to which muscle cells normally respond. This increases their responsiveness and speed of contraction.
ACTIVEErecTens is suitable for treatment of erectile dysfunction caused by injury or weakness of muscle cells in the erectile tissue and the pelvic floor, or other erectile dysfunction of physical origin. Please note that even if CCAT treatment does not work, electrical stimulation can still produce an erection. If not, CCAT treatment may be effective when combined with electrical stimulation.
Medical research has been carried out on this treatment, and its efficacy has been demonstrated by clinical trials*.

MALLORY CREEK. Mallory Creek, also known as Honey Creek, rises 1½ miles southeast of Brookston and 1½ miles northeast of Ambia in central Lamar County (at 33°37' N, 95°41' W) and runs southeast for eleven miles to its mouth on Justiss Creek, just north of the North Sulphur River at the Delta county line two miles west of Gadston (at 33°29' N, 95°37' W). The surrounding flat to gently rolling terrain descends into low-lying flood plains and is surfaced by deep loam over dark to muddy clay that support grasses interspersed with some mesquite and water-tolerant conifers and hardwoods.

BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) - A former Navy navigator is moving part of his business from Virginia to the former Brunswick Naval Air Station in Maine.
The CEO of Tempus Jets, Scott Terry, was familiar with the air station because he used to fly P-3 Orions from it. The jet overhaul work moving to Maine is now being done at Newport News International Airport.
Steve Levesque from the Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority says the Maine base offers the business more space to expand. The company plans to hire 25 workers by year's end, and to double that next year. Levesque says there's the potential for up to 200 jobs.
Levesque says the company fits perfectly with redevelopment agency's plans to target aviation-related businesses.
Tempus is based at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport in South Carolina.

Paranoid schizophrenics may not use irrelevant signals: use of measures of blocking and urinary dopamine
In: Acta Paedopsychiatrica, Jg. 55 (1992), S. 183 - 184

Conditioned blocking (CB) tests whether in associative learning, superfluous / irrelevant information is suppressed - if one learns about the additional stimulus then normal blocking is impaired. Methods: CB was examined in an associative learning test in a visuospatial, mouse-in-house, computer task (find a safe corner associated with a coloured cue). Further 24 urine collections were taken between the 2 parts of the CB task in 15 patients with schizophrenia (8 paranoid, 7 nonparanoid type), 7 with obsessive compuslive disorder (OCD) and 15 healthy contrtols, to monitor general levels of monoamine activity. Results: CB was attenuated only in the nonparanoid patiuents with schizophrenia (not in those with OCD or paranoid diagnoses). Normal CB was associated with lower and attenuated blocking with higher dopamine activity (i.e. HVA/DA).[An associationwith IQ was not observed.] Conclusions: Higher levels of dopamine activity are not necessarily associated with psychosis. Less selective attention-related processing of external events is associated with non-paranoid schizophrenia, and this is related to an increase of DA activity which, consistent with the present result, has been argued to facilitate switching between channels of information

At least white nationalists should be a little more aware than the conservatives who were taken in by people like "marxist-turned-rightwinger David Horowitz".
I trust most Stormfronters wouldn't be as gullible as Jared Taylor and start thinking that jews have suddenly discovered their inner Klansman.
— richard
When Dr. Duke stood up at the AR convention and attacked the Jewish presentation, he said, "You are accepting the neo agenda!" Afterwards when I saw him he was very upset with himself for upsetting Jared Taylor and the AR group.
But, as I told David, if HE didn't bring his point up, who the hell would? What is the POINT of being David Duke if you get bashful?
After my continued warnings about neo-racists, you would assume that Jared Taylor would be my bete noire. No. Jared is out there presenting our point of view as close to the mainstream as it can be. Jared's close circle is solid.
Jared Taylor has an inner group which advises him, good people all, like Sam Francis before and Sam Dickson the whole time. Jared is trying to bring us into the mainstream. David Duke does not want to be out here with me, totally unacceptable.
I get the impression that Jared is even more of a loner than I am! He is trying to do something that no one understands but himself. Hence the Jew.
To be perfectly frank, the people in this movement do not DESERVE both Jared and David Duke. But powerful minds like that are taking their positions. As I said, we need a Jared Taylor to go mainstream and we need a David Duke to call his actions into questions.
Can anyone actually imagine two minds like that of Dr. Duke and Jared Taylor in any other movement? Jared and David got in here when we were tiny. What we do NOT need is to cling worshipfully to some big-name outsider who converts to us.
THAT is what killed conservatives. Big-name neos took over.
And we need to watch Jared. The difference between going mainstream and going neo is a hair's breadth. THIS is the sort of thing we need expertise on.
Which is why I said we don't deserve Jared and Dr. Duke. They are trying to deal in Realpolitik, but our only reaction to Obama's win was to bitch and moan and pine for Ron Paul. This is amateurishness in a time when professionalism will win.
Thank God for Jared and stay on his tail. If this sounds contradictory, you are an amateur.

The Obama candidacy is creating White awareness which must precede White solidarity. The jewish media is hyping the inclusiveness of his appeal, but the practitioners, the Clintons, are singing a different tune. A respectable conservative condemns the Billary bile, but the practical conservative smiles quietly and lets them do his dirty work. But the danger is that the Clintons are not really conservatives. They hope to be Trojan horses, a la the neocons. They must be rejected while their tactics must be accepted. Their only function should be to be disposable third party tools. (By third party I do not refer to a political organization, but to a useful idiot, one who advances your cause while thinking otherwise or a covert agent.)
Not since St. Paul has anyone taken the road to Damascus. All converts are fifth columnists. Think neocons. By treating them as pariahs, White solidarity will be enhanced by creating a penalty for race treason. Fear enhances solidarity as well as devotion. A draft is implemented when recruitment falls off. But with a good officer corps in place you still get a functioning army however reluctant the troops. Think W.W.II, Most of those guys did not want to go. The country was isolationist. It did not become internationalist until tens of millions were systematically brainwashed in boot camp and a ruthlessly controlled press worked over the civilian population. Open-mindedness and freedom did not get us to our present predicament as much as the phalanx mentality of our opponents. It should be emulated.
The RACIALIZATION of Politics is What Matters NOW
I liked Ron Paul because it was such a relief to see ONE Republican who wasn't a slave to the military-Israeli complex. I worked with him on Capitol Hill, and he was a friend of my best friend and boss, John AshBROOK. He made very important MINDS realize how isolated they are by the media. the way the 1964 Goldwater run did. In the long run, that helped destroy the Communists and throw doubt on the entrenched liberals, though at the time they thought they had won it big.
For Stormfront:
But Ron Paul is a relatively minor figure in the longer term.
Everybody I met in the Paul campaign was impressed by the Mantra. This campaign and their obvious isolation made them far more radical.
So what is the next step. Do we sit around and sob about things, or do we go on to the next step?
God, I am SO tired of "When are white people going to wake up?"
Good God, gang, when are YOU going to wake up?
Politics is going RACIAL. No one wants to talk about it. That is the sign of a revolutionary age, and that the thing they are avoiding is where the revolution will go. That PROVES it is tomorrow's direction.
Read some friggin' HISTORY, gang!
WAKE UP! You are a minority now, and if all you do is sit around and bitch like loser conservatives, you will be a FORGOTTEN minority. Black voters and feminists just kicked the all powerful Clintons in the ass, HARD, just as I predicted was going to happen. You don't feel half as isolated as the average big-name white liberals does right now.
But NOBODY talks about this! All we hear is the old whine, "When are white people going to wake up?"
Sob, oh, SOB!
When are YOU going to wake up?

You say you can't understand technology and hate it, but to stay in the game, you will have to acknowledge that we have switched wooden bats for aluminum.

This is getting WEIRD! One commenter quoted an economic statement I didn't make, I have said repeatedly that I don't get into economics much any more. Now Pain says I hate technology.
I saved the Space Telescope. I don't think Pain did that. I have an Alcor bracelet on my wrist. I doubt Pain does. Now he lectures me on aluminum bats!
I have personal trouble DEALING with PRESENT COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY, leaving SysOps and BoardAd to deal with me like criiple in that area. How on earth does this mean I, who have been trying for a decade to get readers to consider the technological and biological revolution of the coming century, HATE technology?
Everything I actually say is being forgotten. Things I DIDN'T say are being thrown at me.
Will the VP be Edwards or Obama?
OK. What I said about Obama was outside the understanding of both SFers and BUGS folk.
I believe that if I get back down to reading-with-your-lips political discussion, most will find it interesting but the minds I need will see how stupid it is.
Some Bob Whitaker on candidate James Edward staff is now negotiating to get Edwards put on Hillary's ticket. On this momentous issue, the average person will say, "But Hillary can't afford to alienate blacks that way."
We are back to the basic question of politics, "Where will blacks GO?" It doesn't matter, in 2008, the election on which that Bob Whitaker is makingh is living, whether blacks get mad.
The LAST thing Obama will do right now is lead a third party effort. He will huff and he'll puff, but it means nothing.
THAT Bob Whitaker will point out to the Clinton crowd that Democrats need the Southern white votes Edwards can give them. Meanwhile blacks are as sure to vote Democratic in 2008 as they were to chop the cotton in 1860.
So now I am on something SF and BUGS readers consider real and practical. Wow! We are no longer talking abut something complicated and ethereal like power politics. We are back to the PRACTICAL matter of the Number 2 Democratic slot in 2008.
Maybe the one or two SFers who are still reading my stuff at this point will feel rewarded for their patience.
Please Think With Me!
In practical politics thinking, Obama is a complete shock, good or bad.
I predicted AN Obama, just the way I predicted September 11 in "Superterrorism" (WOL) over two years before it happened. On September 11 and 12, 2001, I reprinted my articles on Superterrorism, warts and all. The warts were that I was talking about new ways of terrorism that would upset the world, but I did not look to fully-fueled passenger planes.
But the point is that my world view is NEVER the reprints of headlines that constitute most political discussion. I look at what doesn't make sense in the present discussion, developments that do not make good editorial points right now.
My stuff gets ignored. It doesn't "fit" into what we call practical political discussion. In a revolutionary age, REAL thinking never fits in.
In exactly the same way, in a decade or two no one will even BELIEVE the remarks were even made that today are considered serious political dialogue. People who make their living in this business today, AND THOSE WHO READ THEM, have no interest in long-term REALITY. They live now. They discuss now.
Tim's comments below have more relevance to the long-term than practically anyone on Stormfront today. He is talking about LEFTISTS who are doing racial fiction. Today, I will vote Democratic because it is the LEFTISTS who are moving away from Israel's APAC.
This business of trying desperately to avoid the racial reality is not new. All the parties tried to avoid the slavery — actually sectional competition — split in the 1850s.
The big news was Franklin Pierce and President Buchanan.
Remember them?
Of course not.
But if SF had existed then, they would have talked about them all the time.
Practical politics and practical POWER politics are two entirely different things.
And practical politics is not going to save our race.
More Explanation
Posted by Bob in Coaching Session, History on 01/27/2008
Nobody seems to remember the dozen or so times I have gone over the future of American politics.
1) Despite all the denials, American politics will become more and more obviously racial. No one presently is ready for this development. It is hard to believe that the serious difference in 1848 was between the Whigs and the Democrats. Twenty years later it was hard for anyone to remember what "Whig" MEANT.
2) Today we have Republican-Democrat, left-right politics. It is two-sided. The dynamics of multi-sided politics is ENTIRELY different from that of two-sided politics.
In 1848 the party concerned about the extension of slavery got 1% of the vote. In 1860 there were four strong parties, and this was the ONLY issue. In that situation the 40% Republican vote was a clinching majority.
3) In a split between races, the whites will have a commanding lead. They will have to deal with other groups as the most powerful minority. That is a different dynamic from the one we are used to.
In 1860 free soil Republicans joined with free-soil Democrats. In 1864 Lincoln ran on a Grand Union ticket with a Democratic running mate, Andrew Johnson. After the Civil War, Republicans effectively destroyed the Democrats by reusing to let Southern Democrats back into congress.
With the Reconstruction amendments rammed through Republicans held two-thirds of the Senate. But in 1868 and 1876 they had a majority of voters, even excluding Southerners, against them. But they elected Grant in 1868 and began an absolute rule.
There were less ruthless Northern Republicans like Horace Greeley who tried to modify the Radical Republicans program. But ALL of the two-thirds of the Senate in 1867-1868 remained RADICAL. The fourteenth and fifteenth amendments got through on a knife edge. If the Radical Republicans had allowed any neo-Republican input, they would have lost.
After the Reagan Republicans got a solid majority by uniting the Wallace Democrats and conservatives in 180, t5hey blubbered their advantage away by allowing neoconservatives to take over.
In 1994 Republicans went hard right again and took over congress. They blubbered that away, too.
A Whitaker way of stating the difference between Radical Republicans in 1868 and conservative Republicans in 1980 and 1994 boils down to this:
To have a revolution, you must be a revolutionary. In REVOLUTIONARY TIMES, as any study of any revolution will teach you, those who allow no neos to run things take over.
I said that Obamas would rise long before Obama became a factor. I am a practical political adviser, not a prophet. AN Obama had to come along. There will be more of them.
But we must stick to the basic realities. Today politics avoids the real and growing racial split just as the major parties ignored the slavery expansion issue in 1848. But we can see the old coalition between liberals and their Faithful Colored Companions is breaking down.
We must aim for a new political configuration, a RACIAL electorate. Obama today sounds exactly like the Republicans did in 1860. But my predictions are marching right along. I am DEEPLY disappointed that no one in BUGS noticed that.
In a time like ours, the old thinking, non-racial thinking in this case, is breaking down.
This is why I abandoned my little place in the present system. I am trying to get people on our side thinking in terms of the real developing situation instead of mooning over whether "All is lost!" or torchlight Victory parades.
I kept predicting the racial divide, and trying to get you to thinking in terms of the RACIAL split. Whites do not want the racial split. They want to go back to when all the others were minorities and the system was theirs to preside over. Whites would balance the minorities, bargain with minorities, and the white elite would rule.
But the white elitists, in this case the Clintons, are losing out in this battle. Things are moving the sway I said they would.
Yes, after the nominations, liberals will appear to unite and what happened this week will be forgotten. But the trend is a RACIAL split.
Posted by Bob in Comment Responses on 01/27/2008
I have a question for you or anyone else. An aquaintance of mine showed me a book by some new age writer. It held my attention because he talked about our race.
He basically wrote that whites in deprivation tanks for long periods of time do not have a circadian rhythm that correspond to earth. Our circadian rhythm has a frequency of 24 hours and 40 minutes —which does not correspond to earths rotational period—but mars!!! (He did not say all whites but some or many)
The name for the giza plateau were the pyramid was built —was and is- el-kahira —el-kahir—arabic name for mars.
Interesting info and good too—even if it is false. But I remembered Bob saying that we were probably in the wrong solar system. David Duke says "our destiny is in the stars" (and he says it all the damn time). Putin now announces that Russia is going to Mars and this author my buddy is reading says that Aryans originally colonized Mars.
LOL…Is someone holding out on me? Fess up?!??!
(By the way, before you get on my case for this post. Understand that –if this is fantasy b.s.—this is the type of fantasy b.s.—that is "race based fantasy" and it is the best type for young whites IMO. It blasts through and answers the only Aryan question that counts for us….IS LIFE WORTH LIVING ….and it gives it a resounding YES. Race based fantasy has always helped me. Look at the reaction of young whites to Lord of the Rings.)

Anything Grows: Nothing like a home-grown tomato
There's a good reason why tomatoes are a favorite among backyard gardeners. Even farmers markets can't compete with the flavor of a tomato plucked at its prime and consumed the same day. I don't even consider store-bought and homegrown tomatoes as the same species — they taste nothing alike! In fact, my late husband was a tomato-hater until he tried a tomato that we had grown in our back yard. Before I knew it, he was tilling up half the yard to plant 50 tomato plants.
Tomatoes make us so happy it's only fair that we do all we can to make them happy, too. A happy tomato plant is a prolific tomato plant, and that makes everyone happy.
First and foremost, remember that tomatoes are sun lovers. They will need six to eight hours of direct sunlight a day. It also is important to know what type of tomatoes you have so that you know what kind of support they will need and when you can expect to harvest.
Determinate varieties such as Marglobe will all ripen within a few weeks. This is the kind of tomato you want if you plan to do a lot of canning. You can collect a couple of big harvests, get them canned and be done for the summer. These tend to be smaller plants, about 3 feet, so they will not need quite the staking or trellising other tomatoes will need.
Most tomatoes fall into the indeterminate category. These are the types of tomatoes you want to enjoy fresh fruit all summer long. This is the most widely sold type of tomato. An example is big beef. These will grow much taller than determinate varieties; 6 to 8 feet or more is not unusual. Because of their size, they will need more support through staking, caging or trellising.
Vining tomatoes such as beefsteak and brandywine will be a bit shorter at 3-plus feet.
My dear hubby had a favorite way to tie the tomatoes to stakes or trellises. He would cut my old pantyhose into strips and use them as ties because they would expand as the plant grew without constricting it. The problem would come when I wasn't home and he was in need of some hose. If he couldn't find old ones he would open a new box. Good thing I didn't wear pantyhose often.
Tomatoes should be watered with about one to one-and-a-half inches of water a week. One weekly watering rather than several shallow watering will help promote strong, deep roots. It is preferable to water in the morning, or at least water only the roots so plants don't have wet leaves overnight. This can lead to diseases. It also is a good idea to keep plenty of space between plants for good airflow.
Another problem with frequent, shallow watering is it can lead to blossom end rot. Blossom end rot also occurs from lack of calcium in the soil. This can be prevented by rotating crops and burying crushed eggshells near the roots.
Tobacco mosiac virus can also be a problem if anyone should come into your garden smoking a cigarette or spitting tobacco. All tobacco products should be kept out of the garden and hands should be washed after touching tobacco before handling tomato plants. This disease causes leaves to curl and stunts growth.
Upon initial planting, tomatoes can be treated to some high nitrogen fertilizer to help establish growth. After that they should only receive a low nitrogen fertilizer, otherwise you will end up with a lot of beautiful green, bushy plants but little fruit.
Another healthy practice is to pinch off all suckers. These are the shoots that grow between the main stem and a side branch. These shoots will not produce any tomatoes and will divert energy from the rest of the plant and from the fruit.

"IVIG is produced from plasma that is donated by healthy, committed donors across the nation," said Julie Birkofer, PPTA Vice President, North America. Plasma is the straw-colored, liquid portion of whole blood that remains when red blood cells, platelets and other cellular components are removed. It is rich in proteins needed to fight infection, clot blood, and ensure proper lung function.
Source plasma used to produce life-saving therapies like IVIG is donated by healthy, committed individuals at 380 government licensed and International Quality Plasma Program-certified plasma collections centers in the U.S., Europe and Canada.
"Across the country, tens of thousands of individuals rely on plasma protein therapies to treat rare, chronic diseases and disorders, which include hemophilia and other bleeding disorders, primary immunodeficiency diseases, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, Kawasaki disease, and certain autoimmune and neurological disorders like CIDP," said Birkofer. "IVIG is a vital protein replacement therapy that treats diseases that are often life-threatening and always serious and chronic."

Star Entertainment
Blaazz takes the music scene by storm
Upcoming dancehall sensation
He is off to a rocket start for 2014 as he is widely regarded as one of the best lyricists in the fresh crop of dancehall faces based on the streetside buzz on his new singles, Raper Bwoy and Heaven Housetop, which are blowing up FM radio.
Most of the buzz surrounds his flow on Raper Bwoy, where he sounds uncannily like early 2000s Vybz Kartel, one of the best deejays of his generation. The single has become a daily staple on IRIE FM, especially with great support from disc jockey Neil 'DJ Smurf' Stewart.
"The song is doing well because the issue of rape has unfortunately become too commonplace in our society, so the single is gaining a lot of momentum right now, we have to protect the women and little girls from these savages. It is a serious topic but I address it with a little bit of wit so it doesn't sound like the same old anti-rape songs," he said.
Last month, Blaazz did an hour-long 'Easy Skanking' interview with veteran radio personality Elise Kelly, and based on how well he handled the questions, he has won over several industry professionals such as promoters and producers. Blaazz first began to gain public recognition with his hilariously engaging, Tax Everything, a real issue with Jamaicans facing the twin tigers of inflation and high unemployment.
The artiste will release his second mixtape - Lyrical Messiah - this month.

The SIM-free, unlocked Nokia Lumia 920 is nowhere to be found in the UK at the moment, except online retailer Clove, which has made orders available once again, though it will ship devices only in about two weeks.
The Black, White and Red flavors of the mobile phone are up for purchase on the retailer's website at the moment, though stock is expected to arrive only on December 5.
Even so, those who would like to buy the smartphone are advised to hurry and place an order for it, as it is in limited supply. The phone is priced at £520 ($830 / 645 Euro).
In fact, we should note that Nokia has had some difficult times keeping up with demand for the Windows Phone 8 device until now, and that many users haven't been able to purchase the device until now, although it has been available since the beginning of the month.

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — U.S. investors looking for dividend yield in the current low-interest-rate environment can find it in an unlikely place: emerging-markets stocks.
Emerging markets aren't typically thought of for income. But these developing regions are home to worthy cash-rich companies that pay regular, healthy dividends. Just tread carefully, as attractive dividends don't negate this strategy's significant risks.
Back to 1987
for stocks?
Our Trading Deck has been home to a spirited debate over whether we're in for a crash.
• L.A. Little: Don't worry | Michael Gayed: Worry
• The warning signs of a 1987-style crash
• Hulbert: Stocks as overvalued as at 2007 high
Yet an emerging-market company with a record of providing dividend income is sending a clear and valuable signal to investors that its financial condition is strong, said Bruce Brewington, a manager of Forward Select EM Dividend Fund FSLRX, +0.48%
Plus, these companies operate in parts of the world that have shown the fastest economic growth and are still primed to grow even as developed markets slow.
"In the emerging markets, we're seeing basically the last great industrial revolution, and I think it'll only grow in importance over the next decade," said Brewington, whose fund counted Vale SA VALE, +2.66% China Mobile Ltd. (941) CHL, -2.04% and South Korea's JNK Heaters Co. among its top stock holdings as of Sept. 30. He's also bullish on Bank of China BACHY, +0.49% and First Pacific Co. Ltd.(142) FPAFY, -0.92%
Dividend growth
As emerging markets grow and attract international attention, these companies have been distributing more of their earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends.
Tapping Into emerging markets dividend plays
Bruce Brewington, portfolio manager with Forward Select EM Dividend fund, says dividends offer a way to mitigate risks associated with emerging market investing. Among stocks he likes are Bank of China Hong Kong and First Pacific Investments. (Photo: Getty Images)
In 2008, dividends paid out by companies in emerging markets were less than half of those distributed by U.S. firms and around a third of what European corporations doled out.
Midway through 2011 the dividend stream looked markedly different, with Asian firms' dividend disbursements rising to $175 billion, compared to about $254 billion from the U.S. and $361 billion from Europe, according to figures from WisdomTree and Standard & Poor's. In the 12 months through May 31, dividends paid by emerging market firms rose 54.6% from the previous year, compared to a 26.4% increase among European companies and 12.6% in the U.S.
The numbers look even better when one considers the yields on dividend-paying stocks.
As of Oct. 26, WisdomTree Emerging Markets Equity Income Index DEM, +1.58% a benchmark of 360 dividend paying stocks from across the emerging world, yielded 6.78% — the highest yield among the indexes from WisdomTree Asset Management, according to director of research Jeremy Schwartz.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. TSM, +0.52% Banco do Brasil SA BDORY, +0.64% and Malayan Banking Bhd MLYBY, +2.14% are among the index's top constituents.
Thin cushion
High yields and rising dividend payouts don't necessarily mean better returns. Emerging markets boast relatively strong economic fundamentals, yet still seem to catch flu when developed economies sneeze. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index fell 16.6% year for the year through Oct. 26, similar to the 16.5% loss suffered by the Euro STOXX Index, which was weighed down by the European debt crisis. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index SPX, +0.04% meanwhile, lost 1.2% over the period.

Purdue University professor Vladimir Shalaev explained during a speech at the International Conference for Quantum Technologies in Moscow that as our society quickly evolves more and more into an information-based one, people are beginning to need an increased amount of hard drive space to store their "digital lives."
In other words, we're storing more stuff on our computers at an alarmingly growing rate.
To compare, according to Professor Shalaev, the average person only stored around 500 megabytes in 1986, but by 2007 (six years ago!) that rate had exploded to 44.5 gigabytes — a growth rate of 8,800%. And these days, even 44.5 GB isn't considered a lot of space.
However, most people aren't actually housing all of that data themselves, and instead use cloud-based services (such as Gmail, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) to do it for them, which adds a burden to those companies tasked with keeping track of data for millions-to-billions of users.
So. How much "junk" do you have? Let us know in the comments below!

I don't do clouds. Don't trust them. I have 277GB of "treasured documents" on a 1TB external storage drive.
But junk? How dare you insult me! I agree with AFPhy6, above.
THE PREFESSOR is absolutely wright.
It reminds me of my garage. If I go to my garage there are some stuff that I have not seen or touches (used) if more than 10 years. that's why people put garage sales to get rid of "junk". If I only speak of myself, I have probably more than 70 apps and thousand of pictures I collected from Facebook or where ever I saw a nice photo. some of the apps I have got them because mostly were free ( give away of the day) in hope of maybe someday I need it ect…
I use my music files how ever. I 100% agree whith this study and I thinks I represent millions of other people with their Pc's. Maybe someday I will have a garage sale on my PC.
1986 500mb, I would bet this is more like 5mb or even 50mb but not 500mb. 200mb hard drives didn't come out until the end of the 80s.
Junk? Me? I have no junk. It is all very valuable and I need it all.

As travel costs rise and software prices drop, more companies are discovering that there are incredible savings to be had by using video conferencing technology. Additionally, telepresence suites are capable of making long-distance conversations and collaborations seem warm and personal. The technology associated with web conferencing may seem inaccessibly advanced, but any costs that businesses may find prohibitive come from a different source entirely.
Investors.com reports that though the video conferencing market is on the rise, technological limitations are creating barriers for some small businesses. While video screens are capable of generating images in 1080i or 720p (the highest screen resolutions commercially available), the speed of internet connections is restricting telepresence expansion.
As anyone who owns an HD TV will know, high-quality monitors and screens have dropped in price significantly. In addition, a standard internet connection won't break the bank. However, even small businesses must have high bandwidth, or download speed, to support an entire office and create an instantaneous video conferencing atmosphere. Fortunately, fiber optic and digital cable companies are quickly working to ensure that superior video conferencing suites have the online support that they need.

WATERTOWN A mixture of new and familiar faces was a recipe for success during the Taste of the Town event Saturday.
Among those making their debut at the Dulles State Office Building was A Lo Boricua. The Puerto Rican-themed restaurant opened at 527 Coffeen St. in July.
Norma I. Pachecho, who owns the store with her husband, Carlos, said she was nervous going into the event. However, they got a break with a location near the front of the building.
The people started coming, she said.
The restaurant served its pernil and arroz con gandules, or pork and yellow rice, which went over well. It won Golden Taste of the Town, the events top award.
Its a blessing, Mrs. Pachecho said.
Video from the event can be seen at http://wdt.me/taste-of-the-town.
About 40 restaurants, wineries and other local and national vendors set up shop during the event, which drew thousands of people throughout the day. The event was put on hiatus last year because of limited staffing. Proceeds from the event support the Victims Assistance Center and the Sunrise Rotary Club of Watertown.
It seems like this community really loves to support a good cause, said Jennifer S. Loonan, the events co-chairwoman. When you add food to it, its even better.
Jaime L. Short, owner of the Old Garage Deli on outer Washington Street, said the event was a way to build exposure, as she served up the restaurants turkey and ham sandwich, called a Thunderbird, and an Explorer, a ham and salami sandwich. She said many visitors to her booth were unaware of her deli, which opened last April, which made Saturdays event even more important.
They know were here now, Ms. Short said.
The addition of fresh faces is a good thing, said Brenda T. Cavallario of Cavallarios Cucina, 133 N. Massey St. The restaurant has participated in all but one of Taste of the Towns years, and she said the event has grown dramatically since its beginning.
Her husband, Peter G., said events like the one held Saturday are important for Watertown to maintain its reputation for locally made food, especially as the number of chain restaurants grows.
This is who Watertown is; this is where we represent who we are, he said. We pride ourselves on good food.
Cavallarios Cucina took home the peoples choice award.
Little Sisters Inn, Herrings, won the events award for best presentation, while the Clipper Inn, Clayton, won the Silver Taste of the Town award.

Several weeks ago I received a second letter from Lloyd Cork, the man who murdered my grandfather. I'd been waiting on a response to my second letter for what felt like an eternity. I'd started to believe that I wouldn't hear from him. I even wondered if maybe he'd found my blog and decided that he didn't want to be a part of any of this.
After much waiting and worrying I finally received a second letter from him in early October. Like before, I was initially really excited to get it, I was still standing in the post office when I tore it open. There wasn't anything groundbreaking in it. He talked about how he spends his days and asked again for my phone number so that he could call me.
I haven't written back because my life has been fairly nuts and I didn't want to write back again without having set up a way for him to call me. Getting an untraceable phone and corresponding number is surprisingly simple, but I also have to create an account with the prison so that he can make the calls from his end. This is a little more time consuming.
Yesterday I checked my P.O. box because I was expecting something from someone else and there inside was another letter from Cork. This one contained nothing besides the forms that must be filled out by anyone who plans to visit him. I've been doing a lot of procrastinating when it comes to Cork, but these forms must be returned within 14 days.
I've set something in motion and now it's game time. Whenever I tell people that I want to sit down with the man who murdered my grandfather their eyes widen and they ask me why I'd want to do that and if I feel afraid. I always respond as if it's no big deal and I tell them that I just have a few questions to ask him.
Obviously, it is a big deal. I've been busy, but I could have gotten the whole phone thing set up weeks ago. On some level I feel fearful for my safety. I know that we'll be in a secure situation, but he'll see my face, he'll learn more about me. What if I slip up and give him information that allows an outside contact of his to find my home, my children?
On some level I know that the odds of this are highly unlikely. I met his mother and he really comes from a deep, seemingly relentless poverty. The idea that he would have the resources to get to me or my family from prison is kind of silly. But it's not impossible.
What if I travel all the way there only to find that he's crazy and he doesn't have a thing to tell me? What if I ask him whether or not he was hired to kill my grandfather and he says yes?
This entire journey has been full of peaks and valleys. Today it feels like both. Like always, I am busy. But there's a deadline on this form. I can't hem and haw because the window will close. I can't ignore this chance because it may not come again.
I was in a car accident the last time I was in Mississippi. I actually hate talking about it because I drove away from it with only minor injuries and the whole thing turned out to be little more than an inconvenience in the big scheme of things. However, the accident itself lasted a long time and it really did leave me feeling quite shook up.
I'm usually a very confident driver, but since the accident I find myself feeling hesitant about driving in inclement weather. Several years ago I was talking to my aunt Vera about coming to Mississippi in the winter to visit and to conduct some research into Booker Wright's life. She was more than happy to pick me up at the airport any time during the year except during the winter months. She told me that sometimes the roads get ice on them when it's really cold and she was afraid to drive too far from home.
Cork's prison is several hours drive from the nearest airport. Also, if I'm in Mississippi I'll certainly want to travel to Greenwood to visit family and friends. If, by the time the forms get approved, Mississippi is unusually cold and the roads are too dangerous to drive on, I may be forced to push this off until sometime next year. If not, I may be getting on a plane as early as next month to sit across from the man who forever altered my family's history with a single shot.

Is now the time to buy a house?
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - Becky Best is hunting for a bigger home to fit her larger family and says a 4 percent interest rate is hard to pass up.
"We're excited the interest rates are so low and we'll be able to find something," she said.
With low interest rates leading the way, sales for existing homes are on the rise.
Sales numbers are up about 3.5 percent for April.
Realtors say it may be an indication that the weak housing market is starting to wake up - and for those buyers who can come up with the down payment, now is the time to buy.
"With historically low rates, prices being down, not only are we seeing the first-time homebuyers, we're seeing a lot of investors stepping in to the arena now," real estate broker Ben Mondragon told KVAL News.
Comparing this April to last, Lane County sales are about even, but year to date, they're up nearly 9 percent.
However, more than one-third of the Lane County sales were on foreclosed homes and short sales.
Have we hit bottom on home prices yet? "As much as I hate to say so," Mondragon said, "I don't think so."
Not the best news for home sellers, but great news for house hunters - although there are factors working against buyers like Best. Her real estate agent, Deena Cummings, said there are fewer homes for sale.
"So for people like Becky, there's less to choose from. It may mean a longer search for a house," said Cummings.
Still, home sales nationwide are well below the nearly 6 million per year economists say is a healthy level.
"Real estate is still a jobs oriented thing," Mondragan said, "and until we get more jobs into our area and people start feeling confident."
He said not to expect to see a return of 2006-07 type of home sales and prices in Lane County for at least another 8 to 10 years.

"Shanghai" to be screened at International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) event
"Shanghai" Dibakar Banerjee's much-awaited film will be premiered at the 13th edition of the International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) event starting June 7 in Singapore.
The movie, which stars Abhay Deol, Emraan Hashmi, Kalki Koechlin and Prosenjit Chatterjee in the lead role, will premiere on the first day at the Lido Cinemas, Shaw Theatre in Singapore, said a statement.
"The concept of 'Shanghai' appealed to me and I am truly looking forward to the release of the film. IIFA's journey over the last 12 years has opened many doors for the Indian film industry and we feel fortunate that our film will enter that elite list and will be screened at the IIFA World Premiere," said Emraan.
The film will have its worldwide release on June 8.

While shelling Okinawa prior to the invasion of the island, the Indianapolis was severely damaged by a Japanese bomber in late March 1945, necessitating a voyage to Mare Island, California, for repairs. After the work was completed, the ship, under the command of Captain Charles B. McVay III, was ordered to carry to the island of Tinian the internal components of the two atomic bombs to be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Indianapolis subsequently departed on a high-speed voyage from San Francisco, arriving at Tinian 10 days later, on 26 July. She next stopped at the island of Guam and departed on 28 July with orders to proceed to Leyte. While traveling without escort—under radio silence at 17 knots in moderate seas with good visibility—she was torpedoed twice by the Japanese submarine I-58 in the early morning hours of 30 July; she sank in only 12 minutes. Survivors were spotted by a U.S. Navy aircraft on 2 August. Of some 800 members of her 1,199-man crew who initially survived the sinking, only 316 were eventually rescued. The vast majority of those who died fell victim to sharks and exposure. The incident remains the worst case of shark attacks in history.
Following a court of inquiry into the loss of the Indianapolis, Admiral Chester Nimitz proposed reprimanding McVay. Instead, however, Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal followed the advice of the chief of naval operations, Fleet Admiral Ernest King, and ordered McVay to stand trial by court-martial. McVay was subsequently found guilty of an error of professional judgment in unreasonably placing the Indianapolis at risk by failing to steer a zigzag course; he was acquitted of inefficiency in ordering his crew to abandon ship. The court unanimously recommended clemency, and Forrestal remitted the sentence of the court-martial. McVay retired as a rear admiral in 1949; he committed suicide in 1968.
In recent years, crew members of the Indianapolis have endeavored to clear McVay's name. They have pointed out the poor visibility at the time the ship was sunk, the ship's engine problems, and the fact that McVay had not been informed of Japanese submarine activity. Also, McVay's request for escorts had been refused, even though the Indianapolis lacked antisubmarine detection devices. In 2001, the U.S. Congress passed a resolution exonerating McVay of any wrongdoing. Glenn E. Helm

A familiar roar pierced the air. Throttles stressed to their maximums; tires screaming for their very lives, as if their torturers were cold and heartless killers. A battle was taking place; a fight between practicality and the absurd. Some chariots were wrecked in the process, but none were left behind. In the end, after the smoke cleared, we were all blessed. Friends reunited in a common bond, new and old alike. Make no mistake; the 2010 drifting season has begun! Hell yeah.
March 14th marked the triumphant return of some of the Northwest's most seasoned veterans. An invite-only drift event was held last Sunday to start off the 2010 season with a bang. It was a great mix of old school friends, with up and coming drivers all the way from Canada to Oregon. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, with a steady 70 degrees all day with almost no clouds in the sky. It was as if God himself found favor in the boys from Evergreen Drift.
Thirty drivers came out to beat their cars into submission. Some came out from the shadows and onto the track after a year or more away from the sport, either due to long overdue projects or the inevitable life priorities that get in the way of drifting. Many just finished their projects, which were being shaken down for the very first time, allowing for some much needed testing, tuning or just plain repairs. In the off season, most drift cars either sit in storage or are being rebuilt, so it wasn't unexpected that there were lots of cars dropping out of the lineup. Roland Gallagher's S13 had just come from being repaired after hitting the wall at the Pro-Am finals, and he spent most of the day changing his entire brake system. Rob Primo's Natalie Portman-clad S14 blew a front main seal after just three laps, and Erich Hagen's BMW E30 was out part of the day for some tuning up, just to name a few. Most just ran out of tires with as much track time that was available.
Up above, this S13 Silvia from Seattle shows what Sugoi Style is all about.
For those that don't know the track at Evergreen Speedway, it's a 5/8 oval with a smaller 3/8 oval inside. They both share a straight. The 3/8 course was used all day, but in a modified, experimental layout than previously used. The biggest change was the ability to hot lap, where two cars were allowed to run three laps without stopping. This sort of format was only possible due to the experience of the drivers involved, because of their skill and advanced knowledge of the course rules. There were a couple of wrecks, but nothing that couldn't be fixed, and most important of all – no one was hurt.
All of the drivers present have been through at least one season, making it more of a family affair. High fives were everywhere! As a reunion of sorts, it's great to see friends again after the off season. It's kinda weird to think we all have our own private lives outside of drifting, and if it weren't for drifting, we probably wouldn't know many of these people.
2009 FD Pro-Am winner Ian Fournier was rockin the bank with ease; I look forward to seeing him tear up Long Beach in April. His RB25DET powered R32 Skyline was smoking up the whole track most of the day, until he ran out of tires. I even let him drive my own R32 Skyline for a few laps. It's a sad sight when you watch someone drive your own car better than you can!
This JZX73 Toyota Cressida (yes, that's right… it's JZ-powered, although I'm not sure if it's a 1JZ, 2JZ, or 1.5JZ engine inside) was killing it all day! This Cress is owned by a Canadian named Kevin Petersen, who used to own a bright pink AE86 coupe with flares and super wide Work wheels.
Also in the background, you can see the little AE86 that could. That is Kelly Thorpe rockin the bright green 86 with a blacktop 20v 4AG.
This famous gold MX83 Cressida was piloted by Gerard de Peralta from Serial Nine. It was unbelievable how much smoke was pouring out of the back of both of these Cressidas, and the sound of the JZ motors at full throttle is like the angels singing on high. Make sure to check out Serial Nine's website as they make some absolutely amazing parts for Cressidas. Support a real OG!
Here is yours truly, in rare form. Its been almost a year since I was on the track. I'd like to say it was like riding a bike, but I had to shake off the rust a bit. My R32 Skyline GTS-T is a huge departure from the AE86 I'm used to driving; it also goes through more tires than I'm used to!!!
Mike "MiataMike" Lukomskiy is back in his turbo Miata after an extended hiatus. His engine had to be rebuilt by Garage Autohero after having the oil pump go out at the track last year. Glad to see him back out there throwing that go-kart around.
Erich Hagen just finished his project E30 BMW the day before the event. You wouldn't guess at all what's under the hood, so I'll spare you the time; he yanked out the Bimmer motor and swapped in a Nissan CA18DET. A peculiar choice according to most, but as you can see, he was doing just fine. This drift styled E30 is definitely one of my favorites. I'm hoping we can do a feature on this car sometime, because its a head turner for sure!
This Nissan 240sx S13 was getting tossed around by relative new comer Nik Jimenez. Last year Nik competed in the regional Pro-Am event, but unfortunately wrecked the s13 hatch he had. This year he is back and better than ever in this coupe, it's even painted the same color as his previous car! Let's hope he has better luck this year – his goal to be a licensed FD driver.
Rob "Primo" Primozich took his s14, aka Natalie, out for its maiden voyage. A lot of time and effort was put into making this 2JZ powered Nissan ready for its debut. Unfortunately, his front main seal blew after only three laps. Although he only got a short amount of seat time, he did say he got a feel for how to tailor this revived beast to his liking. Look out for this car as a full feature in the near future.
Talking to Antonio on the phone, I kept laughing because he wouldn't shut up about how he loves the fact that Rob's car is so clean, with a 2J in it… but wishes Rob didn't put green stickers all over his gorgeous white S14.
Take a close look at this photo. It looks like the car is driving itself! Yeah, well Rob Primo is so tall, he has to sit super far back. I wonder if his helmet touches the rear window sometimes, haha!
The Evergreen Drift program has been organizing the events at Evergreen Speedway in Monroe, Washington for the last few years, slowly putting together a strong lineup of drivers already familiar with one of Formula D's more exciting tracks. Four drivers from the program have already secured their licenses for the 2010 Formula D season. This year is set to have even more join their ranks with the new four-round Pro-Am series that Evergreen Drift is holding in partnership with Formula D. The 1st place award is an FD license, with 2nd to 5th place getting an invite to the Pro-Am finals in Irwindale. There will still be open drift days available to all skill levels as well.
If you are around the North Seattle area and want to watch, support, or participate in the Evergreen drift program, now is the time to do it!

WhatsApp Inc. has pushed out a bug-fix update to address some minor inconveniences with the popular messaging app, including crashes and glitches.
Users on the iTunes App Store seem pretty satisfied with their WhatsApp experience, with almost every customer in part leaving a 4-star or even 5-star review.
But that doesn't mean everyone is loving WhatsApp. Some users, presumably with older hardware, are reporting that chats keep disappearing for them, while others are experiencing app crashes when opening chats. Some report glitches when attempting to see a conversation in full.
It isn't clear which of these issues are addressed in WhatsApp 2.11.4, as the developers only say the update includes "bug fixes." Here's to hoping it squashes them all.
WhatsApp is an iPhone-only app which requires a phone number for activation, and then allows you to text others without taxing your cellular plan, using the Internet.

Comments about GHS GBUL Boomers Ultra Light Electric Guitar Strings:
When I first got in the business I tried every string on the market after I found GHS Boomers my search was over. I have used nothing else for over 25 years on numerous Strats, Teles, Les Pauls and I can tell you they don't get any better then GHS Boomers Ultra Lights 8-38. They sound great, hold up well, all at a great price.
Comments about GHS GBUL Boomers Ultra Light Electric Guitar Strings:
I have tried every set of .008 strings on the market. These are amongst the worst I've every played. They sound incredibly cheap and tinny when compared, for example, to a Fender or Dean Markley .008 set of strings. You can really "hear" the quality of the materials that a company chooses to use for it's strings, when you buy the .008 sets as they are so thin, that you can really hear if they have been made of bad metals. It is a highly misleading statement for G.H.S. to boast of their making "The highest quality strings" when they sound as bad as the Korean made Music Yo brand strings. I would not put these strings on any of my guitars, even if they were given to me for free.
Comments about GHS GBUL Boomers Ultra Light Electric Guitar Strings:
Fast playing, ultra light touch, screams like no other stings for those screeching guitar solos! No better stings on the market for my money! If you want to rock out with the likes of Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, etc., these are the strings to do it with. Here's a tip, try a set on your acoustic too!

Tonight the Frank Phillips College Plainsmen and Lady Plainsmen host Midland College in their final home games for the 2011-12 season. The women's game will tip off at 5:45 p.m. followed by the men at around 7:30 p.m.
Despite winning their first two tournament games by a combined score of 31-0, the Borger Lady Bulldogs knew they would face a tough challenge in the championship game of the Sanford-Fritch "Ducks on the Pond" Softball Tournament against district foes Dalhart.
The Lady Bulldogs didn't keep the Lady Wolves scoreless, but the team continued to have hot bats at the plate by winning the tournament title with a 19-10 win.
The game was a close battle until the Lady Bulldogs found their groove at the plate and started pulling away at the end of the game.
The Frank Phillips College Lady Plainsmen softball team had a busy weekend competing in eight games over three days at the Murray State Festival in Tishomingo, Okla.
Over the three days, the Lady Plainsmen posted a 3-5 record.
Frank Phillips 5 Rose State College 1
The Lady Plainsmen bested Rose State College 5-1 in seven innings on Friday as Janelle Smith hit a home run and drove in two runners.
Ashley Abair was a workhorse on the rubber, pitching seven innings and allowed no earned runs, four hits and no walks while striking out five.
