ALABAMA-SOUTHERN MISS NOTEBOOK
*All 38 games in the Alabama-Southern Miss series have been played in the state of Alabama, but in four different cities. The Crimson Tide owns winning records against the Golden Eagles in Tuscaloosa (13-1-1), Birmingham (13-2-1) and Mobile (4-0), while the Golden Eagles hold a 2-1 series lead in Montgomery.
*Last year's Alabama-Southern Miss game was originally scheduled for Sept. 15, but was postponed until Nov. 29 due to the terrorist attacks against New York, Washington DC and Pennsylvania on Sept. 11.
*Southern Miss seeks its first 4-0 start since the 1981 season. The Golden Eagles opened the 1981 season with four straight wins then tied Alabama (13-13) at Legion Field in their fifth game of the season.
*Alabama looks to open the season with a 3-1 record for the first time since 1999. The Crimson Tide was 2-2 last year and 1-3 in 2000 after four games.
*Alabama's Dennis Franchione is 1-0 in his head coaching career against Southern Miss. Following the 2000 season, TCU accepted a bid to play Southern Miss in the GMAC Mobile (Ala.) Bowl at Ladd Stadium. The Golden Eagles scored two fourth quarter touchdowns, including the game-winner with eight seconds left in the game. Coach Fran did not coach the Horned Frogs in the bowl game after being named head coach at Alabama on Dec. 4, 2000. Current TCU head coach Gary Patterson served as the head coach for that game with assistance from many of the current UA assistant coaches.
*USM's Jeff Bower is 4-19-1 as a player, assistant coach and head coach against Alabama. As head coach of USM, Bower has compiled a 2-8 (.200) record against UA, which includes a forfeit win due to NCAA sanctions in 1993 (Alabama won the game 40-0).

ALABAMA 28, SOUTHERN MISS 15Nov. 29, 2001 (espn2)Legion Field, Birmingham
Alabama overcame three turnovers, but took advantage of three Southern Miss turnovers as the Crimson Tide defeated the Golden Eagles, 28-15, at a rain-soaked Legion Field.
Ahmaad Galloway led the Crimson Tide with 126 rushing yards and two touchdowns and Andrew Zow accounted for 137 total yards and threw two TD passes in the win.
The first half saw each team surrender three turnovers, but not able to take advantage of the other team's mistakes as Alabama held a narrow 7-6 lead at halftime. The Crimson Tide managed only 73 total yards in the first half.
But in the second half, it was a different story. The Crimson Tide opened the half with an 11-play, 82-yard drive, capped by Galloway's 40-yard TD run. The extra point attempt was blocked and Rod Davis returned the ball for two points to make the score 13-8. On USM's next possession, the Eagles were forced to punt deep in their own end. But a bad snap forced the punter to push the ball out of the end zone and give UA the safety and a 15-8 lead.
On the ensuing possession, the Crimson Tide drove 45 yards, with Zow completing a 26-yard TD pass to Freddie Milons as UA built a 22-8 lead. Zow's TD pass was the 35th of his UA career, tying Mike Shula for first place on the all-time list.
Southern Miss cut the lead to 22-15 on the final play of the third quarter as Jeff Kelly hooked up with Leory Handy for the second time in the game, this time a five-yard TD pass on fourth-and-goal at the UA five-yard. Brent Hanna's extra point cut the UA lead to 22-15 heading into the final quarter.
Galloway's second touchdown of the game (11-yard run) gave Alabama a 28-15 lead with just over 10 minutes left in the game.

In addition, Watts moved past Terry Davis (1970-72) into 7th place with 924 rushing yards. Davis is now 8th place with 865 career rushing yards.
Watts also needs 32 rushing yards against Southern Miss to move past Ed Salem (1947-50) into 6th place on the all-time rushing list for QBs. Salem accounted for 955 career rushing yards at Alabama.

The Crimson Tide defense limited the No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners to minus 23 rushing yards (23 attempts) on Sept. 7 in Norman. The last time Alabama held an opponent to minus rushing yards was Oct. 30, 1999 when UA limited Southern Miss to minus 13 yards on 25 rushing attempts. OU tailback Quentin Griffin entered the game with an NCAA-leading 237-yard per game and was held to three yards (9 carries) by the Alabama stop troops. The Crimson Tide also recorded six sacks in the OU game, with five different players registering one sack. The six sacks at OU are the third-most by Alabama in the last five years. The Crimson Tide had nine sacks against Vanderbilt (Sept. 12, 1998) and seven against Arkansas (Sept. 22) last year.
*Alabama held Middle Tennessee to no rushing yards on five attempts in the first quarter of the 2002 season opener (Aug. 31) at Legion Field.
*Oklahoma had only two rushing yards on eight carries in the first quarter against Alabama.
*The Sooners had minus 11 rushing yards (seven attempts) in the second quarter of its win over Alabama.
*The Crimson Tide defense held the Sooners to minus 18 yards total offense in the third quarter. OU ran six times for minus 26 yards and completed one pass for eight yards against the Tide defense. In sum, OU ran nine plays in the third quarter for minus 18 yards.
*Prior to its game-winning TD drive, OU was held to minus five yards total offense on 15 plays in the second half by the Alabama defense.
The Alabama defense held the North Texas Mean Green to 141 total yards offense in the Crimson Tide's 33-7 win on Sept. 14, 2002 at Bryant-Denny Stadium. UNT managed only 50 rushing yards (37 attempts) and 91 passing yards (10-for-19) in the game.
*After an opening drive that saw North Texas run 14 plays for 66 yards (4.7 yards per play) before missing a short field goal, the Bama stop troops limited the Mean Green to 43 plays and 75 yards (1.74 yards per play) the remainder of the game.
*The last team to have less than 200 yards total offense against Alabama was Vanderbilt in a 20-0 loss in Nashville on Sept. 11, 1997. The Commodores managed just 124 total yards against the Crimson Tide, including 66 rushing yards (44 attempts) and 58 passing yards.
*North Texas completed only 10 of 19 passes for 91 yards in a 33-7 loss at Alabama on Sept. 14, 2002. The 91 passing yards by the Mean Green is the fewest allowed by Alabama since holding Florida to 83 yards in the 1999 SEC Championship Game, the worst passing day of any Steve Spurrier-coached team.
*In addition, the 10 completions by UNT are the fewest against Alabama since UTEP completed eight passes in a 56-7 loss at Legion Field on Oct. 6, 2001.
*For the second week in a row, the Alabama defense held an opponent to less than 100 yards on the ground. In a 33-7 win over North Texas, the UA defense limited UNT to 50 rushing yards (37 attempts). On Sept. 7, 2002, Alabama held No. 2 ranked Oklahoma to minus 23 yards rushing (23 attempts).
*Alabama's last two opponents (Oklahoma and North Texas) have rushed for 37 total yards (50 attempts), an average of 0.74 yards per rushing attempt.
The North Texas game marks the sixth time in the Franchione era the Crimson Tide has held an opponent to less than 100 yards rushing in a game. Alabama held South Carolina, LSU, Auburn and Southern Miss to under 100 rushing yards last year.

*For the second consecutive week, Alabama's defense recorded at least five sacks as the Crimson Tide recorded five sacks (-28 yards) in its 33-7 win over the Mean Green. Against No. 2 Oklahoma (Sept. 7), Alabama recorded a season-high six sacks in holding the Sooners to minus 23 rushing yards in the game.
*In its last two games, the Alabama defense has 11 total sacks (-51) against Oklahoma and North Texas. The Crimson Tide did not record a sack in its season opener with Middle Tennessee.
*The Crimson Tide's six sacks against Oklahoma are the second-most in the SEC this season. Arkansas had seven sacks in a win over Boise State (Sept. 7).
*Alabama has the SEC's third-best rushing defense, allowing only 70 yards per game this season. The Crimson Tide's rushing defense also ranks 10th nationally. Through three games, UA opponents have rushed 98 times for 210 yards and six TDs.
Sophomore kicker Michael Ziifle leads the Southeastern Conference with 1.67 field goals made per game this season. He has made five of eight field goal attempts in his first three games this season.
In addition, Ziifle is tied for the league lead with the highest percentage of PAT conversions made this season. Through three games, the Newnan, Ga., native has made all 10 PAT attempts for Alabama.
Entering the Southern Miss game, Ziifle is the SEC's second-leading scorer among kickers this season. In three games, Ziifle is averaging 8.3 points per game second only to Arkansas' Brenden O'Donohoe, who averages 8.5 points per game. Overall, Ziffle ranks fifth in the SEC in scoring.
Ziifle kicked two 45-yard FGs at Oklahoma on Sept. 7, the second-longest field goal in the SEC this season.
The Alabama offense has put an end to a pair of scoreless streaks in each of its last two games against Oklahoma and North Texas.
The No. 2 Sooners entered their Sept. 7 game with the Crimson Tide having not allowed a point in six consecutive quarters. The Sooners also entered the Alabama having not allowed a touchdown in its last eight quarters.
Alabama quickly put an end to OU's scoreless streak with a 45-yard field on the game's opening possession. The Sooners held the Crimson Tide without a touchdown in the first half to extend that streak to 10 quarters. Again, Alabama stopped that streak on its first possession of the third quarter as Ahmaad Galloway capped a 66-yard drive with a four-yard run to cut OU's lead to 23-10.
In the win over North Texas, redshirt sophomore Michael Ziifle's 24-yard field goal with 10:52 left in the first quarter was the first points scored against the Mean Green in a span of six quarters. The last time UNT allowed an opponent to score was the second quarter of the Texas game on Aug. 31 in Austin. The Longhorns won the game, 27-0. Alabama broke the touchdown streak, too, as Galloway's two-yard touchdown run with 8:35 left in the second quarter was the first touchdown allowed by North Texas since the second quarter of its season opener against Texas.
After a disappointing performance in the season opener with Middle Tennessee, Coach Fran was looking for improved play from his special teams against Oklahoma. After recording six "big plays", the Alabama special teams came through in the second game of the 2002 season. "We made some big plays on special teams, but also had some negative plays, too. Overall, we were much better (against Oklahoma) than (Middle Tennessee)," Coach Fran said after the OU game.
*Alabama had at least one "big" special teams play in every quarter of the OU game with the exception of the second quarter.
*Lane Bearden recovers on-side kick on opening kickoff.
*Lance Taylor records first career blocked punt in the first quarter.
*Waine Bacon blocks OU field goal and Charles Jones records a 30-yard return.
*Chris James recovers an OU fumble on a "sky" kick after a UA touchdown in the third quarter.
*Leslie Williams blocks a third quarter punt, the first of his career, and Taylor scores his first TD on a eight-yard return.
*Bearden gives Alabama a 24-23 lead on a three-yard TD run off a fake field goal in the fourth quarter.
*Bearden posted a 47-yard punting average against Oklahoma
*Alabama had two blocked punts against Oklahoma for the first time since Nov. 5, 1994 at LSU.
*Lance Taylor's eight-yard punt return was the first blocked punt return for a TD by Alabama since Roman Colburn had a 33-yard return (Sam Shade blocked the punt) against LSU on Nov. 5, 1994.
*Alabama opened the game with an on-side and recovered the ball at the UA 47-yard line. Bearden recovered his own on-side kick that led to an Alabama field goal.
*The last time Alabama recovered an on-side kick was Nov. 7, 1999 in a come-from-behind win at LSU. Trailing 16-14, Daniel Pope's on-side kick was recovered by Jason McAddley to set up UA's game-winning TD in a 22-16 win at Baton Rouge.
*Bacon's blocked field goal in the first quarter was the first by Alabama since Victor Ellis blocked an Ole Miss field goal on Oct. 14, 2000. Kecalf Bailey scooped up that kick and ran 63 yards for a TD in Bama's 45-7 win at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Alabama has compiled a 141-83-5 (.627) all-time record on television in since its first televised game in 1951. The Crimson Tide has made 229 TV appearances since 1951. In regular-season televised games, Alabama has compiled a 118-67-3 (.636) record. The Crimson Tide has already made two TV appearances this season, including Middle Tennessee (W 39-34) and Oklahoma (L 37-27). Bama has two more appearances scheduled against Southern Miss (espn2 - Sept. 21) and Hawaii (ESPN - Nov. 30).
Alabama senior punter Lane Bearden ranks third in the latest NCAA statistics 46.8 average. Through two games, Bearden has eight punts for 374 yards, including three inside the 20-yard line. The Pelham, Ala., native leads the SEC with a 46.8 average this season. Bearden also handles UA kickoffs and has become a special teams weapon for the Crimson Tide, throwing a a two-point pass conversion against Middle Tennessee and adding a three-yard TD run off a fake field goal against Oklahoma.

Alabama used 14 first-time players in its win over Middle Tennessee (Aug. 31), including one true freshman (DeMeco Ryans) and three JuCo transfers (Ahmad Childress, Zach Fletcher and Derrick Pope). Other first-time participants included Freddie Roach (MLB), Anthony Madison (RCB), Spencer Pennington (special teams), Shaud Williams (A-Back), Charlie Peprah (RCB), Michael Ziifle (PK), Roman Harper (FS), Mark Anderson (ROV), Zach Fletcher (WR), Clint Johnston (W) and David Cavan (TE). Ryans was the only true freshman to see action for Alabama against Middle Tennessee, playing 12 snaps on defense and four on special teams. Alabama played only one true freshman in 2001, with Todd Bates making his debut in the third game of the season. Bates played in nine games last year as a true freshman, making one start.
*Two more players made their Alabama debuts in the loss at Oklahoma, including redshirt freshman quarterback Brodie Croyle and junior college transfer David Scott.
*Croyle's much anticipated debut took place in the second quarter with Oklahoma leading 9-3. He completed his first pass attempt to Sam Collins (7-yard gain) and moved the Crimson Tide into Sooner territory before a fumble by Santonio Beard gave OU the football at the Sooners 49-yard line.
*Croyle had not played a down of football since the opening game of his senior year at Westbrook Christian HS in Rainbow City, Ala. Croyle injured his knee in the season opener and did not play the remainder of the 2000 season. He enrolled at Alabama in January, 2001 and practiced with the team during spring training. He was redshirted last year (2001) at Alabama.
*Croyle's appearance at Oklahoma was his first game action in 105 weeks, dating back to the season opener in senior year in high school.
*Scott made his Alabama debut on special teams last week at Oklahoma.
*Alabama played a total of 68 players in the win over North Texas, including seven first-time participants. The list of players making their Crimson Tide debut against North Texas included true freshman fullback Greg McLain (Lineville), redshirt freshman center J.B. Closner (San Antonio, Texas), redshirt sophomore fullback Nathan Cox (Spanish Fort), redshirt senior safety Zac Holt (Scottsboro), redshirt senior safety Carl McInnish (Brewton, Ala.), redshirt sophomore middle linebacker Brandon Dean (Mobile) and redshirt freshman strong tackle Von Ewing (Troy).
*In addition, sophomore Thurman Ward played in 11 games last year as a defensive back, but made his Alabama debut on offense tonight against the Mean Green. Also, redshirt freshman quarterback Spencer Pennington took his first collegiate snap at quarterback for the Crimson Tide tonight when he entered the game with 3:25 remaining in the fourth quarter. Pennington played in the Crimson Tide's 39-34 win over Middle Tennessee in the season opener, but that appearance came on UA's "hands team" as the Blue Raiders attempted an on-side kick.
*Through three games this season, Alabama has used 23 first-time players.
In the first three games of the 2002 season, five Alabama players have started for the first time in the football careers at the Capstone. The list of first-time starters includes sophomore tight end David Cavan, redshirt freshman Freddie Roach, redshirt freshman defensive back Charlie Peprah, redshirt sophomore defensive back Carlos Andrews and junior wide receiver Dre Fulgham.
Cavan and Roach made their first career start against Middle Tennessse (Aug. 31), while Peprah started as a nickel back in the Oklahoma game (Sept. 7). Andrews and Fulgham made their first career starts in the win over North Texas.
*Cavan added a 15-yard TD grab in his first starting assignment.
*Roach had 10 tackles and scored on a 41-yard interception return in the fourth quarter.
*Peprah started as nickel back in the loss to Oklahoma and added four solo tackles.
*Junior wide receiver Dre Fulgham made his first career start for Alabama at wide receiver against North Texas. The Crimson Tide opened the game in a three-wide set against the Mean Green. Senior Sam Collins and junior Traindos Luke were the other two receivers for UA.
*Fulgham made the most of his first career start against North Texas and hauled in a career high three passes for 39 yards, including a long of 24 yards.
*In addition, sophomore safety Carlos Andrews made his first career start on defense, subbing for senior Waine Bacon, who had started each of the last 14 games for the Crimson Tide. Andrews has appeared in 14 career games for Alabama, but has never started prior to tonight.
*Andrews also made his first career start against the Mean Green and contributed a career high five tackles in the win.
*Peprah made his second career start for Alabama against North Texas (subbing at RCB for Hirchel Bolden).
*Junior defensive end Nautyn McKay-Loescher returned to the starting line up against UNT. Loescher did not start last week as UA opened the game with five defensive backs.

Click to go to the church podium introduction by owner and designer Stephen Procter.
Arc Church Podium
We previously said that this church podium is light enough to be carried by one person, but now it is even lighter and most stage managers can lift it with one arm.
The Arc is our best selling church podium- you will have probably seen it on US television. In fact we now send 62% of what we make to the USA.
Like our other church podiums, it is made by us here in Australia in our own (small) dedicated factory. We also use some specialist outside engineers and craftsmen. We do this because this church podium requires a unique Sydney combination of technology, craftsmen, and local churches that are very demanding!
We are obsessed about design- before settling down to concentrate on podiums full time, Stephen worked as a product design consultant and later won the newcomers award at the Milan furniture fair.
We make the parts and pack the pulpits- all in one small area. This means we think about the individual customers when we make and pack them. Because we engage with our customers like this, we care about what we are sending you. To do a good job of making this pulpit is difficult (as the Apple designer Jonathan Ive says 'it is difficult to make something look simple'). The only way to get the level of finish we want it is to make it ourselves.
We are pulpit specialists. Because we think about church podiums all day long, we are constantly making changes to improve it. If you purchased one last year, the one you buy this year will be slightly better. They are now 230% more stable, and yet 35% lighter than when we first made them.
Its minimal look means it suits a variety of interiors. The neutral materials help too- stainless steel and perspex will blend into both warehouse style sanctuaries and wooden traditional style churches. After all, we want you to concentrate on the preacher, not on the lectern.
Materials are radial brushed stainless steel with a clear plastic scratch resistant top. The wide top (70cm/ 28") is the most popular. Either size will fit easily into a car (great if you are a church start up or for getting it to another venue).
If you have a projector screen behind the preacher you will probably need anti reflective film (see price below) to prevent light reflecting off the lectern top onto the screen. In this case, lights from above the stage reflect off the lectern top and onto the projector screen. You can test for this by turning on your stage lights and holding an old style (shiny) CD case where the lectern top would be. If you get unsightly reflections, you need the film. This church podium is often used for television broadcasts. In this case, the anti reflective film is also recommended.
It requires 7 screw assembly (tool provided). See below for prices and freight. Almost all churches also purchase the cover because it helps protect the top when it is not in use (see the accessories page for a picture) See how to buy the Arc church podium.

Unlike conventional tables, this table is 70cm (28") high so items are within easy reach for the preacher.
A table to suit the Arc church podium. Most churches that purchase the lectern also purchase this table. Like the lectern, the table is now lighter too. This can be used for a water glass, jug, laptop computer and other resources that the preacher may have. Made from stainless steel with a clear perspex top.
If you have a projector screen behind the preacher, or if you film for TV, you will probably need anti reflective film (see price below) to prevent light reflecting off the lectern top onto the screen (see price below.) See below for prices and freight.

Adjustable Arc Church Podium
An engineering challenge- to make a minimalist adjustable church podium.
The new adjustable arc has 2 benefits over a regular adjustable lectern.
Firstly it has a clicking mechanism to prevent slip, secondly it can be carried by one person.
The adjustable arc has a clicking mechanism with 5 positions. This means that (unlike most adjustable lecterns) the mechanism will still be reliable after years of use. Many preachers have had the experience of placing something heavy on a music stand, only to have the music stand pole slip down. The same is generally the case with any regular adjustable table or lectern. Normally in order to stop this happening, you need to tighten it extremely well. In addition, this type of adjustment often becomes less reliable over time. The adjustable arc lectern has no gas strut. This has an advantage over lecterns that do. While a gas strut can be good for a few years, eventually it will need re-gassing.
All the parts have been re-engineered to make them as light as possible. The result is that at 10.3kg/22.7 pounds, it is only 1.8kg/ 4 pounds heavier than the regular arc. Given the large 28" (70cm) wide top, it seems that it is the lightest adjustable lectern in its class.
In addition, a new type of base was developed, extra stable and rigid, yet not heavy. This new base has been developed to be particularly good on surfaces that are not even. After all, it seems that nobody has a perfectly flat stage or floor.
All in all, the adjustable arc looks like the regular arc, but we didn't just add an adjustable mechanism to the existing arc. It has no parts in common with the existing arc church lectern- so you could say it is completely different, but looks the same!
We invested a significant amount in new tooling and parts to develop it. No expense was spared in making it the best possible. After many months in development, it is finally ready. Even though we have not had it on our website, word has gotten around and they are already selling like hotcakes. Currently it is only available in a 70cm/28" wide version.

Preachers Table (Tall Table)
A new generation of pastors are finding their own style of preaching. Sometimes this means speaking from a tall table, rather than a church podium.
The preachers table has the same top size as the regular arc table. The stem is taller and the base larger however. This means that it is stable, even if a large object is placed on the edge.

[podium with microphone]
Arc Podium with Microphone
For several years, we tried to find a better way to incorporate microphones into the arc lectern.
We prototyped several solutions, none of them really giving us the streamlined look we were after. At last, with the help of Sydney production company Liquorice, we were able to crack the problem.
2 separately wired microphone mounts.
On lectern top: 2 x xlr sockets to suit 2 x standard lectern microphones (Countryman isomax podium microphone recommended)
Mic position on top: xlr centres 4cm from top edge (this gives plenty of room for notes on the lectern top)
At base: 2 x flying leads with full size xlr plugs.
Shock mount- No (a standard Shure shock mount is huge: 4.4cm (1.75") dia- this would unfortunately spoil the look of the lectern)
Phantom power- needs to be supplied externally if required.
Disassembly- the lectern top and base come off for transport/ storage
Anti reflective film- included at no extra cost
Some parts for these are kept in stock, other parts need to be made to order. The lead time is 1 day-4 weeks, depending on stock.

[Table Top Arc church podium]
Tabletop Arc
This tabletop version of the arc church lectern was designed for the Sydney family law court fit out.
In many situations, from committees to courts, there is a need for a tabletop lectern. Till now, these had generally been wooden
and old fashioned looking. The interior designer in Sydney Australia wanted to break the mould with their design for the family law court. The fit out was completed by Schiavello, Australia's largest design and fit out firm. Since then, these have been popular with lawyers, barristers and solicitors purchasing them for their offices.

[Arc church podium in black]
Arc Podium in Black
We were asked to make black pulpits from time to time. This happened more and more.
We decided to go the full distance. For the tops, we experimented and tested a variety of tints till we found one that was just right. We had custom made acrylic manufactured with an anti reflective texture on the top (we had to buy a lot of it!). For this reason you do not need anti reflective film on these tops.
For the base and stem, we experimented with all sorts of black paint finishes until we found the best looking and the most long lasting. Base and stem are in a baked on textured black finish. We found this is the most appealing and also the most durable.

My boyfriend and I have been dating off and on for two years. We have been having sex for about a year now. The problem is I want to spice up our sex life, but I don't have any imagination. He says he's willing to try anything but he won't give ideas. We've done it in different positions, used sex toys but I can't think of anything fun to try. Please help, give me some suggestions.
Dear Unimaginative,
Tapping into your imagination can be a little tricky, especially if you and your partner are just beginning to talk openly about your desires. It's possible the missing ingredient is having the confidence to express yourselves freely and experiment with your sexuality without feeling embarrassed. Before investing in more toys or costumes, it may be useful to talk about and explore each other's thoughts and fantasies.
You can get the discussion going in a number of ways. For example, you can choose and watch some adult sexuality education videos together or rent some erotic movies. Talk about what you see in the movies, and how you feel. What turns each of you on and off? What is appealing to you in fantasy, but might be unappealing to you in real life? Or, how about some books to spur your imaginations? Zillions of how-to books are available that offer ideas for spicing up one's sex life. There are also some beautiful sensual books you might want to look at, such as The Pillow Book. Read them together or read them aloud to each other and see what is inspiring, appealing, or exciting to each of you.
Another avenue to explore is your (day or night) dreams. Have you had sex dreams about your parter? About others? About specific acts? The point is not to necessarily act on every dream or desire you've ever felt, but to start sharing your fantasies with your partner so that you can build intimacy and excitement into your sex life. Who knows, maybe the intimate nature of this conversation will be a new turn-on for both of you!
Once you're able to recognize your own fantasies, and talk about them with your partner, your sex life could reach new heights. Enjoy getting there!Alice!

Pabst Will Put Ballantine Pale Ale Back Into Production
The beer-maker is hoping it has the next great hipster beer on its hands.
"Have we reached peak PBR?" Outside asked earlier this month, and now Pabst Brewing's latest move seems to suggest we have. The beer company is hoping it has the next great hipster brew on its hands with its revival of Ballantine India Pale Ale, a beer nobody's really tasted for decades and for which no original recipe exists. Pabst master brewer Greg Deuhs says he relied on analytic reports, some of which date back 80-something years, to reverse-engineer the flavor profile, and he also went the (literal) oral-history route by working off "beer lovers' remembrances." The result is an ale made with eight kinds of hops, four malts, hop oil, and oak chips. Six-packs and large-format bottles return to store shelves next month. [USA Today]

The Cabin
The cabin is situated on a small penninsula and has 2 bedrooms, dining area and a kitcken. If you look close on the putside you can see where bears have clawed on the logs and a few windows had presure cracks from the bears pressing up against them to look in. Yipes!

Michael Cuddyer, pitcher for the Minnesota Twins is also an amateur magician. He also suffered a finger injury last year that sidelined him for most of the season. Oddly enough, I am a magician who suffered a finger injury that sidelined me for the equivalent of a major league baseball season. Perhaps I should become an amateur pitcher?
Anyway, I wonder if Michaels use of magic helped him with rehab. Here is a video of him performing a card trick. In my humble opinion, it's pretty good.

I want to bike this loop. I have done every part of it except the section from mile 12 to mile 19. My concern is the pure steepness of this section. I think I could make it on my mountain bike (as it has much lower gears), but roadbikes are geared so much higher that I run outta steam.
Besides losing weight (har har), what is a good approach at conquering such a formidable beast?
It is a 720ft gain over 2.7 miles.. fairly constant gain. It continues on to ~820ft at 4 miles.

State Rep. Arthur Turner is running for Illinois lieutenant governor.
Turner announced his candidacy Sunday, saying he'll campaign on the promotion of volunteerism, job creation, industry growth and sustainability. The 58-year-old Democrat has represented his Chicago district since 1981.
He was named deputy majority leader 16 years ago.
Turner says he also wants to focus on veterans services, schools, and economic development.
The post of lieutenant governor was formerly held by Pat Quinn, who moved up to governor in January after former Gov. Rod Blagojevich was impeached and ousted from office.
Running for the seat from the Republican side are state Rep. Dave Winters and Carbondale Mayor Brad Cole.

Get a First Look at Arthur on Smith's Menu
Beach to Brooklyn.
By the time it actually opens, Smith Street could be Columbia Street, but that doesn't mean Brooklynites are any less excited about Joe Isidori's Arthur on Smith, which opens on March 19. "It's Saint Joseph's Day,'' explains Isidori to Grub Street, adding that he's so dedicated to sustainable goods that he is using old, recycled pallets for the restaurant's wood cladding. He's obviously also sourcing from strictly organic farms in the Hudson Valley and on Long Island, as well as a local farm in Red Hook called Added Value. Eight Long Island wines will be on tap, available along with an Italian list. Southfork Kitchen fans can just get on the F train now.

London! Get your Philip Ridley Fix with a Double Feature
Philip Ridley is a renaissance man: he is an artist, photographer, novelist, children's author, playwright, and a filmmaker. His work, especially in theatre, has caused some controversy and even at times been banned. He's only made three films in 22 years; his first film, The Reflecting Skin, gave Viggo Mortensen one of his first starring roles; The Passion of Darkly Noon featured Brenden Fraser is his creepiest role; and Heartless made a successful festival tour a couple of years ago. Ridley's work is raw, passionate, strange, and at least one of the films features exploding frogs. The first two films are hard to find, which is why it's great news for Londoners that Savage Cinema is screening them and that Ridley himself will be in attendance for an interview. The first two films are a great pairing, both thematically and visually, and Ridley is an incredibly engaging speaker. The event is being hosted by Savage Cinema and Scala Beyond at Roxy Bar & Cinema, on Tuesday September 18th, 7pm. At £10 for the event, it's quite a bargain to see two classic British cult films and hear their creator speak.

Must-See Gowanus
by Andrew Rosenberg, 01/28/2014
Fletcher's. Photo: Lori Lovejoy Fletcher
Two establishments that have made upper Third Avenue a sort of Restaurant Row of late are Littleneck and The Pines. The former, perhaps not unexpected with water so nearby, is a refined clam shack: in its cute confines, decorated with rope and fishing supplies, you can get a $14 single-malt-based cocktail to go with your oysters or belly-clam roll. The Pines is geared more for landlubbers, bringing locavorish items—say, boar belly and maitake mushrooms or Wagyu beef and sunchokes—to the shores of a canal that has rarely seen the likes.
Not everything has sprung up in the past few years. Gowanus' Italian heritage shines at Two Toms, a 60-year-old red-sauce joint that feels like, and nearly serves as, a private social club (call ahead for reservations); and Monte's, reportedly an old favorite of Sinatra's and various mobsters. In 2011 new owners overhauled the century-old restaurant by restoring the wooden bar and focusing on thin-crust, brick-oven pizzas. Casual Italian is the thing at Bar Tano, where large corner windows, warm lighting and a pressed tin ceiling, not to mention the rumble of the train overhead, could serve as an emblematic neighborhood diorama.
A bit of a barbecue battle is also being waged locally: there's roadhouse Dinosaur Bar-B-Que, with its smoky 'cue and giant mobile of upside-down glass bottles, and traditional Fletcher's, all long tables, bright lights and porky, bark-edged ribs.

RailsConf registration (and a hiatus year for RailsConf Europe)
January 23rd, 2009
Registration is now open for RailsConf 2009 (May 4-7). You can get more details, and register, at the RailsConf 2009 website.
RailsConf is taking place in Las Vegas, one of my favorite cities. Yes, I know what a weird and ironic place it is. But for whatever reason, I've always found it extremely enjoyable. May is a good time to go—hopefully not to hot to step outside!
There's a lot going on at RailsConf this year, highlighted by its timing in the wake of the Rails/Merb merger decision. There will be lots of merger news and highlights, along with the usual great lineup of talks and, above all, the chance to meet and get to know other Rails developers as well as Rails core team members, authors, bloggers, and pretty much the whole gang!
A hiatus year for RailsConf Europe
Ruby Central and O'Reilly have decided to take a hiatus from producing RailsConf Europe this year, for the simple reason that it didn't bring in enough revenue last year to justify doing it again, particularly given the tight economy and the need to err on the side of caution. RailsConf Europe has always been a really great event, and people who go to it really love it, but we need a year of retrenchment while we figure out how to get everyone else to realize how great it is! Plans for 2010 are not certain yet; we're taking it one year at a time.
Meanwhile, the Ruby and Rails communities continue to produce an astonishing number of high-quality, uniquely branded and flavored events. I'm not even going to try to list them all here. Do a search, though, and you may very well find one near you.
Sorry, comments are closed for this article.

The game was 4 days ago now. Where do you stand?
1. Denial
2. Anger
3. Bargaining
4. Depression
5. Acceptance
Personally I'm stuck somewhere between Bargaining and Depression, and I think I'll be there until the Iowa game. I really believed before Saturday that weren't the old Iowa State Football anymore. But after the game I know we aren't totally over that hump and who knows if we ever truly will be. I'm not quite ready to accept that yet. I'm still bargaining that maybe it was just a really crappy outing from our guys and we're going to come roaring back and win 5-6 games this season while being really depressed that maybe we still are Iowa State Football.
I think whatever happens in the Iowa Game I'll have moved on to acceptance by the time the last whistle blows. Either we're in for a totally horrible season or Rhoads and the coaches will have turned things around. Either way I'll be cheering for the team every week. I might just not be wearing my ISU gear quite as much in the middle of Hawk country.
Acceptance. We have a young and inexperienced team. I'm hoping for growth this year with bigger and better things to come in 2014 and beyond.
Acceptance. Its Wednesday. It was one game. Time to move on. What direction you may ask?
Acceptance. This started after the third straight touchdown. After that, I was actually pleased that the defense got it back together for the most part. We knew that side of the ball was going to be a learning experience. I'm hopeful that the stalling of the offense had more to do with rust than anything else.
Acceptance, but I think I forgot to bargain.
Eyes closed, head first, can't lose.
Acceptance. We will be bad this year, win 2-3 games, Lazard will still come but one or two of the other guys he recruited for us will bail, and we'll be back to bowl contention next year depending on QB play and if Mess is still OC.
Acceptance within about 30 minutes of ISU losing. When I started going to games over 15 years ago I would get all upset over loses. I'm at the point in my life with Cyclone football to just roll with it. Me being in a bad mood and frustrated isn't going to do anything for the team. I can tell you this, if it wasn't for the tailgating I wouldn't have been a season ticket holder for the last 15+ years. I also know that it's going to take a near miracle for ISU to be a top team on a regular basis.

Yeah, I'm in acceptance. However, I'm worried about the recruits. It's one thing to come to a program that is on the rise and another to have a program take two steps back.
don't care
Still at depression. I can't get over the high likelihood that this season is going to really, really suck going forward and the odds of a bowl game are really low.
Depression/acceptance. A little anger mixed in - why in the hell didn't we find some JC LB/DL recruits to help out!
As I get older, I've gotten better about trying to detach myself emotionally from the outcome from ISU games... but I'm still a huge football fan and it just really blows to spend 8 months waiting impatiently for football to return only to be greeted by this stinker. Once the guys get back out on the field with the chance to win again, I'll be fine, but until then I'll probably stay in depression.
Just have to remind myself that there's no point in getting hung up on the outcome of a game to which I contributed nothing. But being surrounded by UT and A&M fans sure makes it tough to forget about how terrible ISU is at football compared to the blue bloods.
Anger. I don't want to be the old Iowa State anymore. I thought (hoped, I guess) we were past losing to teams like UNI.
Originally Posted by isuforlife

That would be Stage 4.
Acceptance. I'm very curious for the next game to start. I don't think they can play that bad again and i am hoping to see this team be competitive. I think they have the players to do it they just need a lot of work. I've steped off of the ledge with the reasoning that UNI plays everyone tough and we can't play that bad again. Not sure if I'm right but its what is best for my mental status right now.

It happens in every industry. For example, the new person on the building site is sent to the local hardware shop and told to ask for a "Long Weight" or "A tin of stripey paint". It happens all over the world.
What great ones have you done/had played on you?
Here's one from a trolley dolly friend:
While parked next to another a/c from the same airline, the new FA is called to the cockpit. The pilot explains that the APU has gone U/S and they need the spare from the neighbouring a/c. He/she is told that the APU is very, very fragile and so utmost care must be taken while carrying it. He/she is given a sickbag to carry it in and dispatched to the other a/c. Much hilarity as they are watched by the crews of both a/c carefully carrying a sickbag (now containing a sandwich or something) across the apron...
So come on, spill the beans (or dehydrated water)...

Automotive technicians find work in dealerships, service stations, automotive sales, independent shops and specialty shops. Most automotive technicians work a standard 40-hour week, but many self-employed technicians work longer hours. To satisfy customer service needs, many technicians provide evening and weekend service. Generally, technicians work indoors in well-ventilated and well-lighted repair shops. Most automotive technicians use computer diagnostic equipment to diagnose technical problems.
Automotive Technicians (also called Automotive Service Mechanics) diagnose, repair and service automobiles and light trucks (such as vans and pickups) with gasoline or diesel engines.
The automotive industry has undergone massive changes in recent years. Computers now control almost all automotive systems and the aspiring technician is taught to effectively identify, test and repair these high-tech systems. The influx of technology is what makes an automotive career today more interesting, challenging and rewarding than ever.

My Best Birth
Great article:
Almost every child care book offers the same advice about a baby's first meal.
When infants are ready for solid food, experts say, start them first on rice cereal, available in a box, mixed with breast milk or formula. Babies have launched their eating careers this way for 60 years, says Alan Greene, a pediatrician at Stanford University's Lucile Packard Children Hospital

Game of Thrones Author George R. R. Martin: Expect "Bad Things" on Season 3
Game of Thrones is oh-so-good — even when terrible things go down.
With the show's third season in progress, Wetpaint Entertainment caught up with author George R. R. Martin, who penned the book series on which the HBO hit is based, at The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences' Presents an Evening With Game of Thrones on March 19.
Read on for his lighthearted take on death, war, and other "bad things" coming in the rest of Season 3.
Wetpaint Entertainment: You are brutal.
George R. R. Martin: Me. I'm sweet. You know who's brutal is David [Benioff] and Dan [D.B. Weiss]. They're brutal.
Really, more than you?
More than me. Have you read the books? If you've read the books, you know that I kill many people in the books, but David and Dan kill people who are still alive in the books. So even if you're in book five, you may be killed in Season 2. They're terrible.
How would you summarize the third season of the show?
I think it will be very powerful. I think it will be hard in some places. It's serious drama. Some bad things happen. It's a war. The war of the five kings is continuing. We're down to four kings now, but as we used to say in the '60s, war is not healthy for children and other living things. Bad things happen in war, and a number of bad things are going to happen in Season 3, but hopefully some very exciting things too. And the characters that the fans have all come to love and different characters the fans have come to hate will be back, and you'll see more of them for a while.
Game of Thrones Season 3 airs Sundays at 9/8c on HBO.

Netanyahu has tough task ahead of him trying to balance his wish to retain natural haredi partners while avoiding narrow rightist government

Netanyahu has a few coalitional options before him; almost all of them are problematic. The first scenario and worst as far as he is concerned, is the formation of a narrow right-wing government including his natural partners: Habayit Hayehudi led by Naftali Bennett and the ultra-Orthodox Shas and United Torah Judaism.

and Habayit Hayehudi sources estimate that Sara will push to exclude Bennett from the coalition, but it is likely that coalitional considerations will override personal animosity and force Netanyahu to include Bennett in his government.

The best scenario for Netanyahu is forming an broad government with his natural right-wing partners and the Center-Left bloc. In this case, size could also be a disadvantage and Netanyahu will struggle to set common guidelines for all coalition members.
announced that she will demand "a heavy political price" in exchange for her willingness to join the coalition and Bennett claims that negotiations with the Palestinians on the establishment of a Palestinian state will be "a catastrophe".
Party leaders started on Tuesday night to communicate amongst themselves. Following the exit poll results, Netanyahu chose to make his first phone call to Lapid. "We have a chance to do very big things for the benefit of the State of Israel," we have an opportunity do great things for the State of Israel,"
Netanyahu told Lapid on Tuesday night.
"With the elections behind us, we can focus on taking action for the benefit of the citizens of Israel," Netanyahu said.
Shas leader Eli Yishai
said that he spoke with the prime minister and with the Labor leader and said that the three of them congratulated each other. Yishai sent a message to Yesh Atid's Lapid and said "if he wants a stable government, he will need to understand that we must work together."


text: From the guy who last month made an animated quiz about numbers in film, here's The Colors in Film, a new short that could probably use a new title that sounds less like a quote from a vaguely-racist grandpa. Don't worry; the quiz is just about guessing color-based film titles. Crazy Hunger Games outrage is not addressed.
