WHEN YOU THINK of music and summer together, what do you remember the most? Everybody's got a tale to tell about that certain song, or band, or summer experience that still resonates years later. Here are a few we stumbled across.
I was 18 years old, working as a waitress at Jolly Roger's Flying Dutchman Supper Club--we just called it the Dutchman--on Shingobee Island near Walker, Minnesota. It's a little resort town about 60 miles north of Brainerd. My friend, Michelle, and I would get off at midnight and meet our friends, Wayne and Kelly. We'd go to the wayside rest and dunk our feet in the channel and drink beer. These guys would always play this song, "Catholic Girls" by Frank Zappa, because we were Catholic and they knew they could get a rise out of us. They were in a band--the name of it was Ramona Fritz, they might still be playing. This was when we were cruising around listening to Pablo Cruise and the soundtrack from Grease; so for somebody to come up with "Catholic Girls," they brought the outside world to us. I had to drive 40, 45 miles to the nearest record store and buy that album. That same summer, the big hit song was "I Love A Rainy Night" by Eddie Rabbit. Do you know he sings "I love a rainy night" 27 times in that song--we counted. That's the sort of thing you do when you're 18 years old in Walker, Minnesota.
--Helen Harbo, voice talent
I'm going to say Judas Priest's version of Joan Baez's "Diamond In The Rough" and being about the age of 15, right at the end of the school year. God, of all those heavy metal classics, that's the one that comes to mind. I'm stumbling up the hillside with a beer in my hand, somebody's crankin' the Priest on the east side of St. Paul at night. That song is a Joan Baez standard. Jesus.
--John Kass, runs Prospective Records
Music hasn't meant as much to me since the early '80's. We used to live in Big Falls, a small little hick town up north. We probably would have been better off on a reservation. We were desperately poor; there were eight of us and my mother died when I was young; my father, who was white, was alcoholic and disabled. We never had a car or anything. There were only two radio stations, one out of Canada and WLS in Chicago, which came on after dark. It sounded very urban; they were giving away tremendous prizes like cars and trips to Disneyland. The music they played was our only connection to anything civilized. It was more than an escape, it was a lifeline.
In the summer, we used to swim all day and smoke a lot of dope. My friend Stanley had a newspaper route so he had enough to buy a bag. We'd go into this abandoned old mechanic shop across from the laundromat and kitty corner from the church and get high. We lived about a mile out of town and I'd stumble home, go upstairs and put on a Fleetwood Mac tape. Stevie Nicks had just joined the group and there was this bubblegum kind of flavor to the music that I like but it was just cool enough that my brothers would let me listen to it. Listening to it was personal; I enjoyed it the most by myself, the room was kind of a sanctuary. Those were some of my best memories. I'd come home from swimming and smoking dope and pass out on the bed listening to "Monday Morning." I'd wake up and back then if you didn't turn off the tape recorder the tape would still be running, clicking in the machine.
--Mark Rollo, writer
My name's Warren and I grew up on a farm. The song that reminds me of summer is the old Iggy Pop song "Dirt," since I used to have to go work in the fields and stuff. But now I'm living here; I'm a declared schizophrenic. The song goes, "I feel like dirt." Yeah.
--Warren, interviewed outside the
downtown Minneapolis Public Library
It was the summer of 1970 and I was bummed because I'd missed Woodstock--and everything that went along with it--because of my advanced age, 30. So I decided to have a "hippie party," with black lights, posters, and acid rock. I asked my brother, a "true hippie," to provide the music. When I asked him to play my one request, "In The Year 2525," he all but retched, but included it in his playlist anyway.
The evening was terribly hot, and indoors the black lights were highlighting everyone's underwear through their sheer summer clothes, so everyone migrated outdoors. We sat on the lawn listening to music and sharing memories, and I heard my song all night long. Whenever I hear "2525," I think of the hot summer party.
--Wally Norlander, banker
"Surfer Girl" by the Beach Boys was the first time I can remember thinking about girls and having any kind of sexuality. What would I have called it then? Being sweet on girls? It was pure Wisconsin summer--trees, water, bugs, Bible camp. I was 9 years old and out somewhere in Wisconsin at Bible camp. I was ready for love. I remember vividly, memorizing the words to "Surfer Girl" because I was going to stand outside a girl's cabin and sing "Surfer Girl" to her, and we would fall in love. I could see it so clearly, pine trees, standing outside the cabin, her swooning inside. Holding hands, being in love. Unfortunately, it never happened. That summer still comes back to me clearly.
--Chris Knott, doorman at the Uptown Bar, ex-lead singer of the Spectors
My favorite song of the summer is by Harry Nilsson and I think it's called "Put The Lime In The Coconut." When I was a kid just going into middle school, there were these three sets of identical twins who moved into our neighborhood. Three sets! And we all used to go out into the woods together and play these games. The woods later became the Minnesota Zoological Gardens. We used to play these games of blackjack and things like that. Things got very loose, a lot of skin was shed and at one point I remember these identical sets of twins were dancing around this really large oak tree, like May pole style, and us boys were putting our clothes back on and they were just dancing stark naked to this song "Put The Lime In The Coconut." Christ. When I hear that song I get instant X-rated memories of those nights.
--Tom Sieler, character artist/portrait maker at the Mall of America
It was June 1984, five months before The Replacements released Let It Be. The boys were doing a then-frequent local performance in the hot and sweaty Cabooze. Bob Stinson wore a cowboy hat and pink overalls and no shirt. Following a killer, slowed-down country version of "God Damn Job," Bob undid the buttons on his overall straps until they fell down his back. As Chris Mars slammed the band straight into "Black Diamond," I turned to a friend and said, "Westerberg's gonna yank down Bob's pants." And he did...leaving Bob with pink overalls around his ankles and nothing on underneath. Bob's solo went on perfectly; he didn't even flinch, keeping that Gibson just in the right place. Tommy and Paul wailed like schoolkids and we all laughed until we were out of breath. What a band.
--Scott Holter, copywriter
So it was the summer I was 14 and I was caddying at this ritzy country club with all these golfer guys who let their hair down by telling obnoxious jokes and throwing clubs whenever they missed a shot. One day I had to duck a club from this schmucky guy and he wanted me to go get it and return it to him. I just put down his clubs and walked off. I didn't tell my mother because I felt like if she knew I'd quit my job she'd feel like it was bad for my moral growth and she'd stop my allowance.
It was also the summer of my first real girlfriend and I used to sneak out of the house every night and skate over to her place. Either we'd hang out or go with our friends to the Coca-Cola bottling plant. If you watched them closely going back and forth you could time it so you could steal a six-pack and when you are 14 living on an allowance, a six-pack of Coke is like a gold mine.
I'd stay out every night until 5 o'clock in the morning, come home and sleep for half an hour, or not at all, until my Mom's alarm went off and she'd come in to hassle me and wake me up so I could go caddy. And I was angry and confused generally, because I was 14 but I was really tired and angry at 5:30 in the morning and we'd get in these giant fights. I'd put on my Walkman and blare the Descendants' "Parents": "Parents! Why won't they shut up/Parents! They're so fucked up/They treat me like a toy/They don't know I'm a boy/Little do they know/Some day I'll explode." I'd skate off and sit in a dark park and wait five hours or so for my friends to wake up. It was like fighting with my mom grounded the whole summer, which was overwhelming and weird but also extremely fun. I spent the whole summer pissed off and confused but I had a great time.

It was one of the last few days of school in New Brighton and I'm walking home with Holly Nelson, who had the skinniest rib cage I'd ever seen, a turned-up nose and long, honey brown hair. We were like 12 or 13, sixth grade probably, wearing boys' tennis shoes that we'd written all over with markers: peace, love, hearts. There was all this construction going on because New Brighton was becoming a suburb and we're walking through all these large holes for basements and Holly is cool, this cool girl, and we come upon this huge hole in the earth before any cement blocks are in and we walk around it, and eventually we jump in and we can't get back out again and the shadows are getting longer and it is getting cooler and we are supposed to be home for supper. It is scary but secretly we like it. And the song is out on the radio that goes, "Timothy, Timothy, where did you go, lost in a mine." I think it was by The Boys; I just heard it on KOOL 108. And the thing is, they ate Timothy; although they don't actually say it. And who is going to eat who here, and Holly is very into teenage death. After a long struggle we finally got out of there.

playwright and performance artist
I've got a really sad summer story because last summer my boyfriend broke up with me really really bad because he's crap. And this song "Legs" was playing, you know, that ZZ Top song which really sucks. He used to dis me because I've got short, fat, squat legs and that was like a big issue with him. I see him at the Uptown Bar with this leggy blonde, she's just a bitch from hell, dumb as a box basically, and so that song really sucks for me. On the other hand, a couple of months ago that song was playing and this guy bought me and the whole bar a round of drinks. It was kind of fun so I've kind of got bittersweet memories about the song "Legs" by ZZ Top.
--Elizabeth Duncan,
patron 617 Bar, northeast Minneapolis
The standout memory for me was last summer at First Avenue; I was doing monitors for Radiohead and it was an all-ages show. It was a teen angst anthem, "Black Star," I think. It was very hot and everyone was very sweaty. And right down in front of the stage, this one gal folded her arms around a guy and he folded his arms around her and these big tears came rolling out of her eyes. I swear to god they almost lifted up into the crowd it was so transcendent, a great rock & roll moment. It was so pure--pure teen summer love--the kind you drive around in a car and think about for the rest of your life.

sound/production person and
drummer for the Shivers
I have a black '64 Plymouth Valiant convertible. You can get about six people in it and it's got a really nice radio, you can be going like 60 miles an hour and still hear it perfectly cruising up and down East River Road or around the lakes. "The Grange" by ZZ Top is my summer song, but I'm most excited this summer about hearing anything by the Jon Spenser Blues Explosion because it's teenage sexuality that just goes with summer. The Valiant's only got an AM radio so I listen to Radio K and the swing station, KLBB, or 950 [Solid Gold Soul]. The drive-ins are the best destination--the Valley Hi is a cool one--or going to Hidden Beach late at night. I don't understand why they don't make radios like this anymore. It's a punchbutton radio and the car is a punchbutton automatic too, so to switch gears is the same thing as switching radio stations; it's really bizarre. I store it all winter and I just pine for it. I break it out as soon as the snow stops. It's out Memorial Day to Halloween. I drive down the road and all these leaves comes flying out.
--Jim Musil,
founder, former DJ at Radio K
I was about 14 with my friend Carol Cunnington and we were living in southeast Minneapolis, like 15th and Sheridan, and we stole every type of liquor from our parents' liquor cabinet, went up to the gas station and stole some cigarettes, smoked 'em all, got home and she puked all over my room. We started burning incense and my dad walked in; there's like piles of puke with clothes on top of it and we're singing and dancing to the song "Superfreak" and all he said was "please turn down the music."

The music of your high school years is the music of your life. I graduated from high school in Kenyon, Minnesota, in 1945, shortly after the war in Europe ended. Back in those days, all you ever heard on the radio was big band music. There was a club in New York called The Twenty One. And it just happened that there were 21 steps from the street up to the second floor of this place in Kenyon, so we called it Club 21. There was a juke box, a little barbie under the refrigerator, and we used to make hot dogs and buns. There was always a couple of sets of parents that would be chaperones.
"The Jersey Bounce," "In The Mood," "The Boogie Woogie Blues," a lot of them were jive dances that came out of that era. They came every every few weeks and changed the records; they got played so much, they probably weren't worth much. When we did the boogie woogie dances, every once in a while the druggist from downstairs would come up yelling, "Knock it off! The bottles are coming off my shelves down there!"
Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola were a nickel. Pepsi came in bigger bottles. The slogan went, "Pepsi Cola is the one for you, twice as much for your nickel too." We felt very lucky if we had enough to get a couple of bottles of pop for the evening, or a hot dog for a dime. There was a back entrance, required by fire ordinance, a staircase that went down behind the building with sort of a landing out there, and if it was really hot you could go out there and get cool enough to go back in and do your boogie woogie another time. When you're in high school, you're really hopping for the music, the juices are flowing. I assume it's still that way.
--Chuck Lindholm, retired
In the summer of either '85 or '86, I was trying to get my high school buddies to be in a band with me so we could take the world by storm. Meanwhile, I was working in the kitchen at Eddington's downtown, hanging my ass over 50 gallons of soup. It was usually about 120 degrees and I was dressed from head to toe in polyester for this job. After work, on my way home to St. Louis Park, I'd ride my bike through Kenwood to see Will, the reluctant lead guitarist who was going to be the lynchpin for this awesome band. So almost every day I'd be sitting on his porch trying to talk him into this thing, and, let me tell you, I just reeked. I was really into this au naturel thing at the time--no underwear, no deodorant--and I reeked of the heat and this Wisconsin Cheddar Cheese Soup. I could tell he hated to smell me and his Mom hated to smell me. But there I'd be, trying to get him into this band. And back then, Will had a penchant for [Hüsker Dü's] Land Speed Record and early Dinosaur Jr. and the Minutemen, and I hated that music; hated it then and I hate it now. And that's what I'd be listening to as I sat on that porch reeking of soup. Maybe that's why to this day I hate Bob Mould's music.
--Willie Wisely, musician
Oh, I can think of so many things! Sly and the Family Stone first, because there was this little tri-county fair in the arena parking lot in Duluth. I'd go down with my high school sweetheart. They had a zipper and a Ferris wheel and they always played Sly and the Family Stone's greatest hits, "Hot Fun" of course, but also "Sing A Simple Song" and "Stand."
And then as a little kid, our backyard was the softball field and I remember leading the neighborhood kids in the Twins' theme: "We're gonna win Twins, we're gonna score." I had a baseball with Bob Allison's autograph, and I had this big crush on Tony Oliva. He was from Cuba and the media had taught me that Cuba was like the evil Thrush in Man From U.N.C.L.E. and I thought it was so cool that we rescued him from Cuba. I wanted to be drafted by U.N.C.L.E. to go down and get Tony's family out of Cuba. I wanted to matter to Tony Oliva.
--Leslie Ball,
singer and performer
It was the summer after I graduated from college, in Richmond, Virginia. I was a DJ at the college radio station and we had gotten an advance copy of "Summer Babe" by Pavement. I played it on the radio constantly. It was hot, every day. We'd play the song in the car on the way to a [swimming] quarry, an old gravel pit where they broke through to an underground spring. There's always an air of danger to it. First, there's the rumor that there's heavy machinery down at the bottom, from when the diggers broke through and had to scramble out and abandon the pit. And it's on private land, so you could always be caught for trespassing or something. There's no beach to loll around on; you're either in the water or climbing up rocks to jump in the water. The water is cold, clear, isolated, and beautiful. In the South, they deal with summer a whole different way; everything's slowed down. I'd have to say I'd trade about 2,000 lakes for a couple of good quarries.

The name of the song is "The Time Is Right To Get On Your Motor Bike and Ride Ride Ride." It is by a friend of mine, Sam. That song always gets me going about summer because we both had motorcycles at the time, and we were sittin' and chromin'--you know what chroming is, right? You paint up your rusty spots and polish the chrome and the other stuff, and we both had these beater motorbikes and we were chroming that first couple of months of that summer and then all of a sudden I was in a band with him; or actually he was in a band with himself; other people were in a band with him, but not me, that was later. But anyway, all of sudden he came out with this song called "The Time Is Right To Get On Your Motorbike and Ride." And that song was perfect for chroming.
--Dan Haeg, musician and house painter
Back in the day, growing up as youngsters, we had a fair and a parade beginning at The Way, where the Fourth Precinct Police Station is now, and going to the Phyllis Wheatley Center near Ninth and Fremont, right in the projects where we had these battles of the bands. Grand Central Station, the Fantasy band, the Lewis Brothers would all be there; The Time, with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, and everybody would be interchanging instruments. Prince was onstage, Andre Cymone, Cynthia Johnson, the list goes on and on. Prince used to stay with Andre and Andre's mother, Bernadette Anderson, on 12th and Russell; we used to play football every Saturday morning on Lincoln field.
But when I think of summer it is what has happened to me recently, because the Juneteenth parade is coming up and my mother passed in June and the last thing she saw me do was be in the Juneteenth parade. She had a massive heart attack at the house. Quinton Scott, a volunteer with the Elks Drum and Bugle Corps and also a volunteer at KMOJ, the same day they found out my mother had passed, and all my family was there at the house, they came and played the drums right there in the street outside, like "Taps." It was a spiritual thing, with things very quiet. It made me realize how much love and respect I have in the community, both black and white--much respect to them. Sometimes you hide pain and sometimes you have to deal with it. My mother was the greatest woman ever to live in this world.
--Walter Q-Bear Banks,
KMOJ radio
The memory when I think of summer is of my Latin gigs and my first gig was in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, in 1973. It was for a Cuban social club that was going downhill and it was a benefit. We took in $1,100 and everybody thought we had won the lottery. I thought I was going to die; that we'd lose our pants. I was a young kid then, just out of the military. I did the Joe Cuba Sextet; you know the song that went, "bang bang, ah peep peep"? And they'd have that disco whistle. I think I paid like $650. In those days the Latin bands would do like five or six gigs in the same night. They'd drive around in a big car; these Latin guys would go to Queens for an hour and then over to Manhattan for an hour, then maybe to the Bronx, maybe come do an hour for me in Jersey, and end up at 5 in the morning in Harlem. Willie Colon, Eddie Palmieri, all the guys would do this. In Perth Amboy, you had the oil refineries and it was always hot with all those torches going on. This was a hot summer night. The gig was upstairs, no elevators. And they'd pull up in this big car and haul everything up the stairs. Joe Cuba. Summer makes me think of these things.
--Victor Valens,
promoter of the Twin Cities
Latin Jazz Festival
The summer I graduated from Walt Whitman High School in New York, the Stones put out Some Girls and that was our soundtrack to the last month of school. "Shattered" was everybody's favorite because of the New York references; we thought it was very inside. It was one of those funnel things; it crystallized us. The closest the Stones were playing that summer was in Philly and so we had to take a train down there. The train just started collecting Stones fans, beginning with me and 15 of my buddies, and at each stop there was more and more high school kids, so that by 50 miles out of New York there was like four train cars full of kids. It was 1978, a big time for weed. One of my friends rolled 21 doobies for the three-day trip; another had 18; I was the pussy with 10. Foreigner came on first and they got booed off the stage after two songs. Then Peter Tosh comes out and Jagger joins him for "Legalize It" and everyone is smoking pot. I still have the ticket stub.
True story: About two weeks later, we were driving in Long Island in a 1967 Delta 88, a blue-grey convertible, ugly but huge; it took three people to put the top down. I swear to God, while we were listening to the Stones' "When The Whip Comes Down," five of us saw this UFO. It zig-zagged across the sky like nothing else could; it would go forward like three inches in the sky and then back one inch, like it was recapturing energy. It was like this very very very bright star. It took about five minutes to go across the whole sky. True story.
--John Eric Theide,
There is a song called "In the Good Old Summertime" that on the surface might sound trite and overdone, but I think it is a reflection of a larger issue and that is the commonly held belief that at any given time, music and art reflect the overall consciousness of the society; what the society values, and what its morals are. And when you look at a song from 1903 that says you go walking hand in hand with your tootsie-wootsie, it to me reflects a bygone era: [He starts singing.] "In the good old summertime/In the good old summertime/Strolling through the shady lanes with your baby-mine/You hold her hand and she holds yours/And that's a very good sign/For she's your tootsie-wootsie in the good old summertime." It reflects kind of an innocence of an era, frankly, that I almost long for. There was another song of the era that was called "Turn Back The Universe and Give Me Yesterday," and that's kind of how I feel about a lot of the music that's going on today.
--"Diamond Jim" Dandy,
old time music performer

Why Libertarians Should Embrace Glenn Beck | Mediaite
This sentiment was echoed today by libertarian Outside The Beltway blogger Doug Mataconis:
You know what's hilarious about this?
Doug Mataconis isn't a libertarian, either. He's the Beltway idea of what they think a libertarian should be. Sort of like how Mittens Romneycare is a right-wing nutcase.

After a couple of months of development, PrimeDeals4U has launched. This blog will serve as a temporary redirection until the Flux design and development website is setup.
This is a small parser I wrote which is linked to the Google weather API, I'm releasing the source in case anyone needs an example to work off because when I first started I really couldn't find enough information to get the SAX parser to work properly (especially a clean example).
The following images are of an android app I developed while working at a software development company, It's currently being used at a high profile beach in Cyprus.
Note: App name and logo blurred for obvious reasons.
Phew, that was a long period of inactivity but I've finally returned!
I've been revising a project I worked on some time ago (Patient Manager). I'll be posting new screenshots and some info in the next few days.
This year marked the first year that the ImagineCup was featured in Cyprus. Being a code monkey I joined up with a few friends and we tried to tackle the worlds toughest problems and come up with a solution. We chose ending global hunger as our problem and our proposed solution was featured in a local newspaper article along with some additional info about the team.
Use a .NET language that runs on any type of windows platform, preferably windows phone 7 and windows azure. We chose to develop a web application using ASP.NET and VB.NET. As a database back-end we used MS SQL to store various organization data.
Our solution:
A data consortium, whose mission would be to unite various organizations that seek to help the poor and hungry on a global scale. Our web application would bring together all these organizations and have them all work through one and only one database which held all the data from every one of them and therefore leading to a massive database of information such as people who need help, people that have been helped and by who, etc. Additionally our project would also provide various researchers and new organizations to be able to receive relative world hunger related data and thus eliminating the need to waste a large amount of time to be able to get started on their way to helping people.
We didn't win, but it was a great experience nonetheless. The primary problem was that we only had two weeks to get something up and running where as the other universities had six months.
NOTE: Below is a rough translation of the greek article that was posted, I used google translate to do it because I don't have enough time to translate word to word. alternatively if you're of a greek decent you can checkout the article directly at Kathimerini
Group: EUC-CSE, European University Cyprus
Members: Charalambos Theodorou, Panagiotis Verropoulos, Sozos Michaelides, Savvas Savvides
Mentor: Dr. George Stylianou
The team of the European University of Cyprus tried to create a web application that promotes solidarity among different organizations, but also attempt to provide assistance to poor people suffering from hunger. Their goal was all agencies to join their page and upload their data and data for people who experience famine, poverty, etc. In this way, all agencies will have access to only a huge database, sharing their data with other agencies and achieving to offer immediate assistance to those in need. Also, new organizations could join the page and by doing that they will have access to the global database, saving valuable time and resources that would be needed to establish their own separate database.
Shaders!, now go and compare my old editor screen shot on the project page and tell me what looks better!, even though the lack of documentation on the new SDK is ahem.. "lacking" I'm willing to take the risk and jump into it and hopefully achieve much more than what I did with the previous editor. R3D using the TV3D 6.5 SDK will also be renamed. More to follow soon😉
The above screen shot utilizes Zaknafein's shader which was modified by Lenn, it can be found with the full source code on the TV3D forums, stay tuned!
R3D development using the TV3D SDK 6.3 is now at an official halt. I've just started working with the new SDK(6.5) and it's much more feature rich hence why I'm stopping the development with the old SDK. I won't be porting the application but instead re-writing it because I've made quite a few wrong decisions with the whole code structure. Stay tuned for updates on R3D.

If we're keeping it all the way real, Ne-Yo has never been a stranger to scoring #1 singles.
However, despite sitting atop many a global chart over the years, we're pretty sure he won't be taking his latest feat lightly. For today, he has scored his fifth UK #1 single with the smash hit single 'Let Me Love You'.
Good news below…
Beating The Script's 'Hall Of Fame' by 11,000 copies, the crooner's cut top spot also saw him best sales of Pink's 'Blow Me (One Last Kiss)' which debuts at #3 and Cheryl's 'Under The Sun' which resides at #15.
The number also sits atop the country's R&B Singles tally as well as the Downloads chart, which saw Rita Ora's 'RIP' come in at #8 and Nicki Minaj's 'Pound The Alarm' waltz in at #22.

Great Workout Songs
Looking for great workout songs to put in your iPod? Keep reading.
It's probably easy to find great workout songs for cardio exercise. But finding good workout music to listen to while cross training or lifting weights can be a challenge.
If you search online, you'll find tons of pages populated with lists of people's idea of great workout songs. But will these gym songs be effective for you?
Unfortunately, there hasn't been a music genre created for cross training and weight training until recently. As a result, your workout playlist is probably filled with what some call, "regular music" instead of actual music created to workout to.
But don't you worry, MusicForMuscles has got you covered.
When I was searching, just like you, for great workout songs, I learned how so much workout music is created for aerobics and similar types of exercise. While this is great, it leaves a great amount of us out of the picture.
Those of us who cross train, lift weights, do kettle bells or body-weight exercises usually have to turn to our regular music playlists to find the extra motivation to push through the last few reps of the most intense sets.
Since I was a gym warrior who also just happened to be a music composer, I decided to create my own set of great workout songs that motivated and helped me. I combined elements of the genres that sit on the top of most people's exercise music playlists.
These genres are commonly rock, hip hop, and dramatic film/orchestra scores, all three of which were right up my alley. Remember the scene in "Rocky" where he was training and the famous ole music was playin'? If so, then you already know where I am going.
I also used scientific research from Ohio State University, The University of New Mexico, Brunel University of London, The University of Southern Queensland, and a few other universities and exercise science facilities.
I found out that great workout songs that had certain characteristics led to an increase in strength and endurance as high as 23% or more, INSTANTLY!
The same criteria that I learned of in these scientific studies is what I used to create my own great workout songs. But I originally created them just for myself, LOL.
That was until some of my fellow workout friends found out about it, heard it, and DEMANDED that I share it with them! After they shared the type of instant results they were getting in their workouts using my workout music, I decided to test it out on a few people I had never met before.
So I would randomly walk up to people in the gym, unplug their headphones from their music player, plug them into my iPhone, and tell them to listen.
Their look of shock at this stranger grabbing their music player turned to a look of excitement as they heard what they told me were "great workout songs" that I had put together.
They of course asked me where could they get them, and so I decided to create MusicForMuscles.com, and now I want to share these great workout songs with you, so download them and tell me what you think!
Download a free weight lifting workout song and add it to your great workout songs playlist by visiting http://www.musicformuscles.com. Make Your NEXT Workout Your BEST Workout!

HOUSTON (AP) -- Houston's Andre Johnson had 131 yards receiving before halftime in his first extended work of the preseason Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.
But the New Orleans backups scored two touchdowns in the second half to help the Saints to a 31-23 victory.
Johnson didn't play in the preseason opener and had less than a quarter of work last week. On Sunday, he grabbed seven of the eight passes thrown to him, highlighted by a 39-yard reception.
Matt Schaub threw for 213 yards for Houston (2-1), and Ben Tate had 74 yards rushing and a score filling in for Arian Foster.
Drew Brees threw for 104 yards and a touchdown for New Orleans (3-0) before sitting out after the third possession. With Marques Colston still out with a left foot injury, rookie fifth-round pick Kenny Stills continued to impress with 54 yards receiving and a touchdown.

one of my favorite soups, so easy, we have butternut squash on sale now .59 each any size. Time for me to make and freeze for the winter. love your recipe.
Good stuff and easy to make. Made a few modifications to recipie before getting it to the way I like it. First Added two fist sized potatues. Second used a red onion carmelized in butter. Third used (low sodium) turkey bacon and chicklen broth. Fourth Omited garlic cloves and used a touch of Garlic powder,black pepper and just a splash of hot sauce but bot too much just before blending. I also used three cans of broth but it may be because added the potatoes or because of the size of the squash or maybe I just like it a bit thinner but who cares it is just plain awesome!
I added just a splash of cream to this...delicious!

Class Actions in Indiana
You may have a legal claim against a company, but feel as if it's impractical or not cost-effective to sue. But if many other people have similar claims, you may be able to resolve all of your disputes through a class action lawsuit heard in federal court, Indiana court or another state court. A class action attorney can evaluate your claim and help you determine whether it is appropriate to file a class action.
Class Action Lawsuits: Who, What & Why
You might be asking yourself why a plaintiff (the wronged party) would want to sue a defendant (the company accused of wrongdoing) through a class action lawsuit. There are a number of instances where a class action may be the best course of action.
Class action lawsuits are commonly used to resolve disputes related to:
- Defective drugs and medical devices
- Product liability claims
- Deceptive or false advertising
- Employment issues
- Bank fraud and fraudulent finance charges
- Securities fraud and other types of shareholder actions
- Environmental contamination
According to Indiana court rules, a class action lawsuit is appropriate if there are many plaintiffs and it would be impractical to separately resolve each and every person's claim. The plaintiffs must have similar or identical claims, but there also must be a risk that if each case were tried separately, there might be inconsistent verdicts.
At some point after a judge certifies a class action lawsuit, or gives it the go-ahead to proceed as a class action, class action lawyers will attempt to notify all known and possible plaintiffs. This may be done by mail, email and phone, as well as print and television advertising. If you are potentially a plaintiff, you have the option of remaining as part of the class or opting out and filing a separate lawsuit. If you remain in the class, you will be bound by any verdict or settlement that is reached, regardless of whether it favors the plaintiff or defendant.
Find & Hire Local Indiana Class Actions Attorneys
Do you think you have grounds for a class action lawsuit and want to discuss your case with an attorney? You've come to the right website. Attorneys.com offers a free service that can help you locate class action lawyers in Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville and elsewhere in Indiana.

UMass Celebrates Ford's Birthday With 70-61 Win Over Boston University
Dec. 29, 2007
Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery | Video Highlights
AMHERST, Mass. - The backcourt trio of Gary Forbes, Ricky Harris, and Chris Lowe combined for 51 points to give UMass head coach Travis Ford a 70-61 victory over Boston University on his 38th birthday Saturday night at the Mullins Center. Forbes finished with 23 points and 12 rebounds as he recorded his third double-double of the season. Lowe and Harris added 14 points each. Forbes and Harris have scored in double-figures in all 12 games this season. Carlos Strong led the Terriers with 17 points. With the win, UMass improves to 10-2, its best start since opening the 1995-96 season 26-0 on its way to the Final Four.
The Minutemen came out firing, jumping out to an 11-4 lead and holding the Terriers without a field goal for the first 6:48 of the game. UMass held a 15-11 lead with 11:13 left in the opening half when Forbes sparked a 24-4 run over the next 7:38 with eight points. Harris finished off the run with a dunk off the break that resulted in a Terriers timeout at 3:35 with UMass leading, 37-15.
The Minutemen took a 44-25 lead into the locker room, with Forbes and Harris leading the way with 15 and 13 points, respectively. Forbes achieved his double-double in the first half, grabbing 10 rebounds. UMass shot 44.1% (15-34) for the half, while BU shot 26.2% (10-38). Papa Lo led the UMass defense with four of the team's nine blocks in the opening 20 minutes.
Both teams struggled to find their shooting touch in the second half, with BU outscoring UMass, 10-9 over the first 7:37 of the second half. A Corey Lowe layup with 6:42 left in the game capped off a 12-3 Terriers run and cut UMass' lead to single-digits, 56-47. BU then used a 9-0 run over a two minute span to cut UMass' lead to three, 62-59, with 1:35 remaining. Chris Lowe would then score four-straight points, on a floater in the lane with 1:13 left and two free throws with 57 seconds left to extend the lead back to seven. Harris and Forbes combined to make 4-of-4 free throws in the final 14 seconds to seal the victory, 70-61.
The Minutemen shot 36.8% (21-57) for the game, while the Terriers shot 33.3% (24-72). BU held a slight edge on the boards with 46 rebounds to UMass' 43. The Minutemen blocked 14 shots in the game, led by Lo's five.

(...) Dazzling is a portrait project that documents an amateur transit circuit. Transit is a self-described term used to define the men/women who are involved in various levels of gender transformation at the pageant. The subjects are primarily African American and the Pageant is held in a rented building converted into a temporary bar in the town of Fairfield, Alabama, a previously white steel town outside of Birmingham, Alabama, whose population is now 90.23% African American.
I am fascinated by the transformations that occur, it is not just sexual identity but at times a transformation into a complete persona and a totally developed character. Often times the identities are bigger and brighter than the fragile male persona that is evident when they are not dressed, which I have also photographed. When the men are dressed, they become silent and voiceless. They don't speak because their male voices break the spell of who they are trying to be. It is also a population that is under educated and they are able to supplement their eight dollar an hour day jobs with tips from their performances. (...)

Google has long had Google Dashboard, a way to keep track of everything Google knows about you. Now there's a new in Google Dashboard that will make it easier to see what the web knows about you. The new feature is called Me on the Web.
Me on the Web has a simple goal: to alert you as to how others see you when the Google search your name. It'll show you the links that come off your Google Profile, which you should probably already know, and it has a few links to maintaining your identity online. It will help you set up Google alerts for your name, which is usually a good idea if you're doing a lot on the web but can be frustrating if you have a particularly common name. There's also a few links to help you remove unwanted information from getting into search (used for very personal information that leaked somehow) and how to manage your reputation online.
The feature should be mostly common knowledge for some, but it is great for those just starting to build a reputation online, or who aren't the most web-savvy. There's still no real way to control everything that's said about you on the web, but at least it'll help you keep of all of it.

Exelixis and Bristol-Myers Squibb reported a worldwide collaboration to discover, develop, and commercialize novel targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer.
Under the collaboration, which will become effective upon antitrust clearance, Exelixis will deploy its drug discovery platform and be fully responsible for the identification and preclinical development of small molecule drug candidates directed against mutually selected targets. Bristol- Myers Squibb will have the right to select up to three IND candidates against three different targets. Following selection by Bristol-Myers Squibb, the company will lead all global activities, although the parties will co-develop and co-commercialize the programs in the United States.
Under the terms of the agreement, Bristol-Myers Squibb will pay to Exelixis an upfront payment of $60 million in cash. Exelixis will also receive $20 million for each of up to three different drug candidates selected by Bristol-Myers Squibb. The parties plan to equally share development costs, commercial profits, and co-promotion responsibilities in the U.S. Exelixis will also receive royalties on product sales outside of the U.S. For each program selected by Bristol-Myers Squibb, Exelixis may opt out of the co-development or co-promotion in the United States, in which case Exelixis would receive milestones and royalties in lieu of a U.S. profit share.

|Barbara Mahaffey in an undated photograph
Ben D. Mahaffey, 80, said he was distraught and trying to make sure the body of his wife, Barbara Alice Mahaffey, would be taken to the funeral home with dignity, reports Dennis Romboy at Deseret News. Instead, police officers insisted that he help them "look for the drugs."
"I was holding her hand saying goodbye when all the intrusion happened," Mahaffey said.
Barbara died at 12:35 a.m., with Mahaffey, a Korean War veteran, and his friend, an EMT, at her side. Police, a mortician and a hospice worker arrived at the home about 12:45 a.m., Mahaffey said; he didn't know how police came to be there.
"I was indignant to think you can't even have a private moment," Mahaffey said. "All these people were there and they're not concerned about her or me. They're concerned about the damn drugs. Isn't that something?"

|Ben Mahaffey: "I was indignant to think you can't even have a private moment"
Mahaffey said the police treated him as if he planned to sell the painkillers, including OxyContin, oxycodone and morphone, on the street. "I had no interest in the drugs," he said. "I'm no addict."
Mahaffey filed a federal lawsuit last week, saying police violated his Fourth and 14th Amendment rights against unreasonable search and seizure and for equal protection under the law.
The officers' conduct "at the deeply intimate setting, and during a highly distressing time, added a great amount of pain and distress to an already difficult situation," the lawsuit states.
Following the incident, Mahaffey asked Vernal city officials and police why officers would search his home without a warrant moments after his wife's death. He said he was told the Utah Controlled Substances Act provides authority for such a search.
"I don't believe the public would intend for the government to be rummaging through your cupboards while your wife is lying in the next room being prepared to be taken to her final resting place," said Andrew Fackrell, Mahaffey's lawyer. "That's an extraordinary violation of privacy."
There's nothing in Utah law that allows police to enter a home and search for prescription drugs without a warrant, Fackrell said. Despite that fact, he said it's apparently common practice for Vernal police to do exactly that when someone dies -- but that the practice is selectively applied.
Mahaffey said he decided on the lawsuit only after trying to have "meaningful, man-to-man" conversations with Vernal city officials, but they were "rude and condescending."

Vanessa Hudgens is getting in touch with her romantic side.
The Gimme Shelter actress stepped out for an early Valentine's Day celebration at the SVEDKA's Shot Through The Heart Bash at DBA in West Hollywood, California on February 4. Vanessa looked festive for the event, wearing a short red and black dress with black pumps. She even rocked a red mani to top off the lovely look.
Vanessa, Kate Mara, Nikki Reed, and other guests crafted voodoo dolls, had their fortunes told, and sipped on SVEDKA specialty cocktails, including the evening's signature cocktail, Love at First Sip. Sounds right up Vanessa's boho alley!
"Soo fun! Had a magical time tonight at the @SVEDKA Valentine's Day Bash! #SVEDKAVDay," Vanessa tweeted yesterday.

ATLANTA -- Most teenagers like potato chips, but forget to close up the bag after eating them.
Brothers Drew and Jack Gillet usually use clips or rubber bands to close their chip bags, but admit that sometimes air gets in the bags and makes the chips stale.
That's why they're excited to try Gripstic, a sealing stick that claims to close bags tightly and keep food fresh.
RELATED | Be a tester for Try It Before You Buy It
Drew tests the product on a large bag. He folds the top of the bag down, allows the yellow guide to slide in the crease and then pulls the whole contraption over the top of the fold.
"It does a pretty good job," he says.
The Gripstic works on both chip bags and freezer bags.
But the brothers admit the appearance of the device is deceptive.
"I mean, if I saw this without reading directions, you would not know what to do with it," Drew says.
Despite its look, Jack likes how it works more than the traditional way of sealing bags.
"It's great. It really holds the bag together. It's better than just a normal clip," he says.
Overall, the Gillet boys find the product a success. They give the Gripstic two thumbs up.

I hope everyone is doing well! I figured I'd start the new thread and ask a few questions.
I had the shortest midwife appointment ever on Saturday. It was literally 20 minutes. She asked me if I wanted an ultrasound in the next few weeks, told me to drink 64 oz of water (so there's the answer to that), measured my blood pressure, found the heartbeat and sent me on my way. She didn't measure my belly at all. Does that seem weird to anyone else?
I was also wondering (and I'm sorry if this is TMI), but how many paps are standard during a pregnancy. I think I was supposed to have one at my first appointment but I thought I had one at MGH, so the midwife didn't do it. But when they looked my chart over, they don't have record of one. They were going to request more records, but I'm 99% sure that I didn't have one at the first RE, so I'm guessing I'll have to have one at my next appointment. I'm just wondering if people usually have one or two during a pregnancy. I think they usually do tests at the end (STDs and Strep B, right?) and I didn't know if this was included.
Also, does anyone know if MA has a law about the anitbotics they put on the baby's eyes at birth? I'm just wondering if I can refuse it or not (assuming that I don't have any infections of course).
I hate it when you leave the doctor's office and think of a bunch of questions! So frustrating!

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Jonathan Quick remembers eating ice pops with his friends and watching their beloved Rangers win the Stanley Cup on television in 1994. Dustin Brown vaguely recalls Joe Nieuwendyk bringing the Cup to Ithaca, N.Y., but can't remember if he saw it up close.
With one win by their Kings, the goalie and the captain will have the Stanley Cup in their hands, above their head — even in the Pacific Ocean, if they want.
The stage is set for a California coronation in Game 4 tonight, when the Kings can sweep the Devils in the Stanley Cup final in front of a sellout crowd that has been waiting 45 years for this chance to celebrate.
"It's right there in front of us, but we know there's one more step," Brown said Tuesday. "We don't want to trip now."
Eighth-seeded Los Angeles, a franchise that has never done much in the postseason, is on a 15-2 playoff run that has only one equal in NHL history. L.A. has steamrolled every opponent by a combined 49-24 margin.
The Kings can be the first NHL team to win the Cup at home since Anaheim in 2007, rewarding the fans who consistently sold out Staples Center even during a playoff absence from 2002-10 before general manager Dean Lombardi's rebuilding plan yielded results.
"There's a lot at the end there to look forward to, if we play the right way," Jarret Stoll said. "I'm sure we'll talk a lot about it the next day and a half to get ready, making sure we're playing the right way, having the right attitude. Can't get too excited, look too far ahead. You have to stay in the moment and play the game."
New Jersey faces the prospect of becoming the first team swept out of the Cup final since 1998.
"When you know you're playing well and the results aren't there, it's hard," Devils goalie Martin Brodeur said. "We've got these breaks along the way, but even though we're working hard, we're not getting the breaks now."
moore's wife has cancer: Sharks center Dominic Moore, acquired from the Lightning in February, said he missed the final two playoff games because his wife, Katie, has a rare form of liver cancer. He said she was diagnosed late in the season, had surgery in California in April and is still being treated.
canadiens hire coach: Michel Therrien will coach Montreal for a second time, a home-gown product who rejoins a storied franchise that fell to last place this season. Therrien, who succeeds Randy Cunneyworth. coached the Canadiens from 2000 to 2003, going 77-77-36.

Updated WHO policy recommendation: Single dose primaquine as a gametocytocide in Plasmodium falciparum malaria
October 2012
Primaquine potentially has a major role in reducing malaria transmission, especially in efforts to eliminate Plasmodium falciparum malaria. The population benefits of reducing malaria transmission by gametocytocidal drugs require that a very high proportion of patients receive these medicines.
Based on the review of the WHO Evidence Review Group, the Malaria Policy Advisory Committee (MPAC) recommends the following:
- In: (1) areas threatened by artemisinin resistance where single dose primaquine as a gametocytocide for P. falciparum malaria is not being implemented, and (2) elimination areas which have not yet adopted primaquine as a gametocytocide for P. falciparum malaria:
- A single 0.25 mg base/kg primaquine dose should be given to all patients with parasitologically-confirmed P. falciparum malaria on the first day of treatment in addition to an ACT, except for pregnant women and infants <1 year of age.

I need good recommedations of companies that offer job opportunities to work from home. Please help
It seems everytime I'm looking for a way to make some extra money from home I get tons of Biz Op calls or emails. No offense to business opportunities, because I have participated in my share of these, however what I really need is a legal bonafide way of making some money from home on a consistent basis. Like many families, the economy has stifled our ability to sustain on just one income, so I need to find ways to contribute to my household by working from home. I heard that Tutor.com was one resource, can anyone else help me with any other ideas? I have a VERY Clingy just-turned-toddler at home so I need flexible hours. I hear about moms working from home all the time, is anyone doing this successfully? And, what companies are truly good for this kind of thing? I need help in a hurry.

I'm not sure if what I am doing is what you are looking for, but I thought I'd share just in case. I have been doing surveys and reading emails for pay online for a while now. Sometimes it's pretty consistent and then it dips down for a while. It sounds to me like you are looking for more consistency and stability than what these offer though. I have some info on my blog if you want to take a look. http://mrs-thomas.blogspot.com/ Even if it isn't your only source of income, it can really help boost your income in the tough times. I only post sites that I use and have found to be safe. I also have my email address on the blog if you want to ask me about any of the sites. Hope this can help you. Oh, and I have never gotten calls from these companies unless I specifically asked for them. ~God Bless~posted 10/03/2008 by Lynda_and_JP
Hey There! Hopefully you have found something that has worked out for you:) I, like you, searched for a long time and tried several things that never panned out. I finally found Ameriplan a year and a half ago and have been very blessed. I am sure you have heard of the compnay if you have been looking to work from home for a while! It is a business, not a job, which is what I wanted. I needed the flexibility with a baby and one on the way. Also, it is service based-affordable healthcare, so it is something that people need, especially during a tough economy. We are trained to be Benefits Specialists from home. I will tell you that finding a "job" from home is nearly impossible and with kids at home, you would need to get a sitter most likely if you were to find one. So look at your options, selling on ebay, in home daycare, etc, and Good Luck! Jayme www.awakenedmom.composted 07/18/2009 by ameriplanmamma
Would this be something that could be a single source of income. My husband works, but with 3 kids going to be in daycare, my paycheck is not enough. And he owns his own business, so if this could be enough a month, maybe this would work for me. I have been looking for at home work for a while, but I have not been able to find anything that works.posted 04/02/2009 by Ains&Cayleb

The Vietnam War
The Vietnam War Books
This five-volume collection is a key primary source for any historian of the Vietnam War. Each tome is chock-full of top-secret studies based on classified government documents about American involvement in Vietnam. If you're not prepared to dive into all 5 volumes, historian George C. Herring has been nice enough to produce an abridged (read: a lot more manageable!) version of the documents in The Pentagon Papers (1993).
Michael Herr's front-line reporting of the Vietnam War is collected in Dispatches, one of the first books to capture the unique feel of life on the Vietnam battlefront. His stream-of-conscious descriptions are chaotic, choppy, dark, and intense, giving the reader an honest sense of war from the perspective of a soldier. A must read.
Maurer introduces this collection of interviews with a confession: he successfully dodged the draft. The guilt, regret, and relief that came from that decision inspired him to reach out to the many different Americans who witnessed the war from the front. He spoke with draftees and volunteers, lieutenants and "grunts," those with grand memories of the roles they played, veterans with irreparable damage, a gay G.I., a woman reporter, and so many more. Strange Ground is a page-turner, and one that will stay with you long after you've finished.
Robert McNamara, U.S. Secretary of Defense from 1961 to 1967, offers an honest and balanced account of American involvement in the war in Vietnam. In this personal memoir, the man who advised Presidents Kennedy and Johnson reveals where American foreign policy went so wrong, and explains the role he played in contributing to that failure.
The Things They Carried is a string of short stories about American soldiers fighting in Vietnam. Though cited by the author as works of fiction, each tale portrays the warfront with sensitivity to the physical and emotional realities of battle. In an interview given in 1991, Tim O'Brien stated that, "90% or more of the material [in The Things They Carried] is invented." Still, one can't help but sense that O'Brien, who served as a foot soldier in Vietnam from 1969 to 1970, wrote this series of short stories in order to come to grips with some of his own personal memories of war.
Bao Ninh is a writer from Hanoi who fought for North Vietnam, and his novel Sorrow of War, though fiction, offers a strikingly intimate portrait of war on the Vietnam battlefront. Bao Ninh uses his own memories to offer a vivid account of the hope, confusion, brutality, longing, and weariness experienced by an NLF soldier. We highly recommend reading Sorrow of War alongside Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried.
Though this historian's account of the war in Vietnam was first published nearly thirty years ago, America's Longest War remains one of the best historical overviews available. A terrific, straight-forward text for anyone looking for a thorough introduction to this complicated period in American history.
Historian Marilyn Young tells a gripping and often gut-wrenching story about the American war in Vietnam. Young worries that, with each decade, the memory of the Vietnam War fades from the American psyche, and the U.S. increases its risk of repeating the same mistakes. So, with her incredibly researched and richly detailed account of this complicated war, she aims to remind readers of the mistakes made, the lives lost, and, most importantly, the lessons learned.
Historian Mark Moyar argues in Triumph Forsaken that the war in Vietnam was not a tragic mistake but an "improperly executed enterprise." In other words, Moyar finds that the U.S. could have—and should have—won the war against the NLF, but that leaders such as President Johnson squandered America's opportunities for success. Moyar's work, though self-contradictory in parts, is one of the most lauded texts among those who view the Vietnam War as the twentieth century's "Lost Cause."

SAN ANTONIO, Texas - Junior Emily Talley matched her school record round of 67 and the University of Colorado women's golf team shook off a shaky start to lead by three strokes after the first round here at the 2010 Alamo Invitational, the Buffs final tournament of their record-setting fall season.
Colorado, ranked No. 17 by GolfStat, No. 19 in the coaches poll and No. 25 by Golfweek, shot a 3-over par 291 to lead the field by three strokes on the 6,302-par Briggs Ranch Golf Course. The field includes seven teams ranked in the top 50 and two other teams besides CU ranked in the top 20.
No. 38 TCU is in second place, three strokes behind the Buffs at 6-over par 294. The Horned Frogs were atop the leader board until after the Buffaloes had finished their round, slipping from a 3-stroke lead to a 3-stroke deficit vs. CU. No. 42 Texas A&M is in third place at 8-over par 296 while No. 13 Tulane (9-over par 297) is fourth and host Texas-San Antonio and No. 18 Notre Dame are tied for fifth at 10-over par 298.
"We had a rough start, but made a nice comeback," CU coach Anne Kelly said. "We still have a lot of golf to go. From how we started, I'm proud of how we fought hard to come back, especially on the back nine. Emily Talley's round was obviously impressive and Tessa (The) was a key to our round, as well."
Talley's round was a microcosm of the Buffs round as a team, as she bogeyed her first hole, but then she rebounded a little faster than her teammates, as she got back to even par on the fourth hole with a birdie and then eagled the Par-5 fifth hole to go 2-under. She then birdied two of the remaining four holes on the front nine and then had eight pars and one birdie on the back nine.
"Right off the bat, I was abnormally nervous for some reason," Talley said. "On the first hole, I hit a good drive, but I was shaking on my putt. I just had to get my tournament legs back for some reason. Normally when you bogey your first hole, it can get you down. But I got a few good pars, a birdie and then an eagle. On the fifth, I hit two great shots and had a five-foot tap out for an eagle."
Talley is tied for the lead with her 5-under round of 67. It matches her best career round and is one off her career best round of 6-under par, which was also a 67 at the par-73 Dick McGuire Invitational in September. It is her seventh round under par this season, matching Dominique Pytlewski's school record, and she extended her school record with her 15th career round under par. She notched her third round in the 60s this season, tying the school record and she now has seven such rounds in her career, more than doubling the previous school mark.
Talley is tied with TCU's Brooke Beeler in first place, and those two have a five stroke advantage over six other players who shot even par, including junior Jess Wallace and freshman Tessa The, who is playing in CU's top five for the first time replacing sophomore Taylor Doyle, who's still recovering from a car accident she and four other CU players were involved in during CU's Heather Farr Memorial earlier in October.
"I was thinking, if Emily Talley is shooting this far under par, there must be a bunch of us under par, but apparently not," Talley said. "I'm really proud of Tessa. She played awesome for her first tournament where her score counts. I think the pressure of that is good for her."
Tessa The shot even par 72 and is tied for third with six other players. She started the round with three bogeys in her first four holes and was then able to get back to 1-over par with birdies on the seventh and eighth holes. On the back nine, she was able to get three birdies to go with two bogeys to get to even par.
"Tessa really turned it around after a tough start," Kelly said. "That shows a lot, especially for a freshman playing in the top five scoring for the team for the first time. I was proud of her comeback. Jess also played really solid. She could've had a very good round if she could have got a few more of her putts to fall. She didn't putt poorly, but she didn't get them all to fall."
Wallace is also at even par 72 and was 2-over par on the front nine and then 2-under par on the back nine with 14 birdies. She has been at or under par in nine of 13 rounds this season and is looking to extend her school record streak of top five finishes, which currently stands at three.
Jenny and Kristin Coleman both struggled a bit as they are struggling with some illness. Kristin Coleman shot 8-over par 80 while Jenny Coelman shot 9-over par 81, including a triple bogey to close her day out.
"They're not feeling the greatest," Kelly said. "I'm not making excuses for them, but they're not feeling well and not playing well. They've both had such a great fall so far and this is all new to them. I don't think they've played quite this much tournament golf in the fall before. I'm sure they'll make a good comeback over the next two days."
The invitational continues Monday with tee times before an 8:30 a.m. shotgun start in the final round on Tuesday.
