More than a year ago, I visited my great-great-grandparents'
family cemetery plot in Cincinnati. I knew who would be buried there: besides my great-grandparents
H. A. and Frances Seeger and six of their children, there were
Frances' parents, Joseph and A. Marie Ladenkotter.
But when I got there, I also found these two guys:
Who were Joseph and John Dierkes?
My search for their identities involved using online and offline clues,
as Lisa Alzo suggests in our Turn
Online Clues Into Ancestor Answers webinar.
Clue No. 1I noted that a Joseph and a John Dierkes lived
in the Ladenkotter household in the 1850 and 1860 census. Besides
my great-great-grandmother Frances Ladenkotter (really Francisca), born in
1852, there was an Elizabeth Ladenkotter, born in 1846.
My census searches for other Dierkes in Cincinnati turned up
lots of results. I gave up looking at them; there was no way to
tell if any of them were related to John and Joseph.
Clue No. 2I put on my big-girl genealogist pants and
searched the 1840 census. That census is scary because it names
only heads of household. Everyone else was counted within age ranges, so it's hard to tell if you've found the right family. (We have a video
class about how to research in the 1840 and earlier censuses.)
I found a household for a Joseph Dierkes, containing a male
aged 30-39 (that's Joseph) and a female age 30-39. A. Marie
was born in May 1812, according to her gravestone, so she would be
28 when the 1840 census was taken June 1. That and the faded
census return made this not a slam dunk.
Clue No. 3Haphazard web searches led me to the Hamilton County Genealogical
Society's (HCGS) online marriage
index, with information found in newspaper notices, church
records, probate court records and reconstructed court records
(there was an 1884
riot at the courthouse). An Anna Maria Dirkers and a Joseph
Ladenkotter married between 1840 and 1849, according to church
The printed book from which the online index came gave the exact marriage date, May 4, 1845. If the Dierkes boys were A. Marie's sons from a previous
marriage, this marriage date would fall nicely into a gap between
the children's birth years.
Clue No. 4If Dierkes (or Dirkers) was Anna Maria's maiden name, the boys were probably her relatives, not sons.
I requested the marriage record from the church.
A volunteer sent me the information from the record
(the books are too old and fragile to copy)—the marriage place and
date, the priest's name, and the names of two witnesses, Herman
Henrik Meyer and Maria Hinken. No name other than Dirkers for the bride, although those
witnesses could be related.
Clue No. 5I felt stuck. There was more haphazard
searching. Then I found an entry for Anna Maria Ladenkötter
in HCGS online death
indexes from newspapers. I noticed a name several blank
columns away: Weyer. I held my breath and scrolled all the way up
the page. Yes, this was a maiden name column. I hadn't thought about a
death notice giving a maiden name.
The notice was from microfilmed German-language
newspapers. Through the HCGS website, I found a researcher
familiar with German and hired him to get a copy. Eight death notices (I got other
relatives' notices while I was at it) ended up
costing about $50, worth it for something that would've taken me all day and maybe then some. He could have translated
them, too, but I wanted to try it.
I'm still working on that, but it's easy to tell the notice gives the name as "Anna Maria
Ladenkötter geb. Weyer." Geb. is an abbreviation of the German word for "born."
betting that male witness to her 1845 marriage is really Herman
Henrik Weyer.
Ancestor AnswersJohn and Joseph Dierkes are very likely Anna Maria Weyer's
sons from her first marriage. What would really clinch this—here's
where my strategy for turning
these online clues into ancestor answers comes in—is to find
her marriage record to Joseph Dierkes, death notices for Joseph
Dierkes (naming his survivors) or the boys (I have scoured
the HCGS index for these, to no avail), and/or baptismal records
for the Dierkes boys.
... And More QuestionsI also want to learn why the boys died (just a few years before
Cincinnati birth and death registers began). Civil War, I thought,
but I can't find them in the Soldiers
and Sailors Database or other Civil War records. That's
another genealogical problem to tackle.
The recording of our Turning
Online Clues into Ancestor Answers webinar will be available soon in ShopFamilyTree.com.
You'll also find online genealogy research strategies in the book Discover Your Family History Online by Nancy Hendrickson.

I have never had two birds that are different sizes before, but I am thinking about talking my mother into letting me have her grey. I feel awful for the bird, he has lived 7 years in http://www.petsmart.com/product/inde...uctId=12470853 basically that cage, with no out of cage time. I have tried to work with her to arrange something so he could come out safely, but she is not good at training animals and has dogs/cats, so her dogs try to destroy her door if she closes it and so many dogs scratching/biting/barking/whining at the door isn't exactly comfortable for the bird either. In the last 7 years, he has had perhaps an hour out of the cage. He isn't plucking and eats fine, talks, etc. He also has very few toys at all because he is scared of them and even though I told her how to adjust a bird to a new toy, she hasn't had any success. She's not very good with birds. He goes to the vet once a year though and she cooks his meals for him daily. So, he is healthy, except for the cage bound problem.
I need tips on how to keep two birds who are so very different in sizes safely before I decide. My current parrot is a cockatiel. Her parrot is a CAG. I would have to keep their cages in the living room. There is plenty of space for a very spacious cage for him, pretty much could get one that takes up an entire wall. But play times I am not sure about. My tiel is out all day/night until bedtime and with the size of a CAG I am guessing they can't be out together without serious risk of injury. Also, how do you keep toes from getting into each others cages to get nipped at?
How do you guys who do have different sized parrots work it out so they have adequate space/play time safely? Not really looking for CAG / tiel specific advice, though that would be useful, but any two parrot species that are different sizes/temperaments would love to hear your experiences.

MAYAGUEZ, P.R. – The Saint Leo men's basketball team wrapped up its fourth game in five days on a high note, defeating host UPR-Mayaguez by a score of 70-51 on Tuesday evening at the Coliseo Rafael A. Mangual. Saint Leo advances its record to 4-0, while the Tarzans drop to a record of 0-4.
The Lions saw three players tally points in double figures, with Jerrel Harris leading the way with 14.

The Tarzans were led by Julian Rodriguez, who tallied 11 points on the evening. Off the glass, Gabriel Garcia earned a team best five rebounds, and chipped in nine points.
It was and forth contest in the opening minutes, but momentum swung in the Tarzans favor, allowing them to jump out to as much as a six point lead in the first 15 minutes. However, a jumper by Harris with just over five minutes to go in the first half knotted the score at 16-16, and a layup by Harris 15 seconds later shifted the momentum in the Lions' favor. With the energy now on their side, Saint Leo ran out to a nine point lead to close out the first half with a score of 28-19.
The Lions extended their good fortune into the second half, pulling out by as much as 22 points before ending the game with a 19 points differential.
The Lions shot 37 percent from the field, and were successful on 30 percent of their shots from long range. From the charity stripe, Saint Leo found success on 72 percent of their throws, sinking 18-of-25, led by Harris and Crisosto who were a perfect 4-for-4 on the day.

04.09.2010, Kocaeli TV
(A report stating that dynamite used in dam construction is threatening the graves of the Companions of the Prophet Muhammad [saas]). Since they are the graves of the Companions, they should be placed under protection. The Companions' graves should be well-kept and reviewed in terms of maintenance. They look very ill-kept in this picture. That is a disgrace.
If a hypocrite says a thing is bad, then it is good, and if he says it is good, then it is bad. If he tells you not to get close to something, you should certainly get close to it. If he says you are unsuccessful in something, know that you are highly successful. The hypocrite calls black white, and white black.
They describe religion is such a way that they cause irreligion to spread. They use a dishonest manner which is not compliant with respect, an ugly, unbecoming language that seems to be cynical. Using such language, leading society in this way, and if you engage in constructing the subconscious in this manner, then how can people have genuine faith? People are then raised to use language that mocks [surely Allah is beyond that] spirituality and religion, since people have been subconsciously conditioned. According to the concepts of faith the hypocrites talk about, there is no need to see Allah's artistry, creation, or proofs, they say. The fact is, however, that Allah constantly emphasizes the signs leading to faith in the Qur'an. Signs leading to faith are evidence of the existence of Allah. Through them, we love Allah and bind ourselves to Him by the use of our conscience. One must talk about religion using a language that is respectful towards the Qur'an, Allah, and the hadiths. Religion cannot be preached by employing methods of subconscious editing. One needs a good understanding of human psychology.
They would like you to be unbelievers as they are unbelievers so that you will all be the same. Do not take any of them as friends until they have emigrate in the Way of Allah... (Surat an-Nisa', 89)
How do they go? Abandoning Muslims, for money, for possessions, for comfort? They make excuses as they go. But they always try to use Allah to deceive others as they make these excuses. They tell others "You go, and you go too, and let this cause come to an end."
They have the word, 'Obedience!' on their tongues but when they leave your presence, a group of them spend the night plotting to do other than what you say. Allah is recording their nocturnal plotting. Therefore turn away from them and put your trust in Allah. Allah suffices as a Guardian. (Surat an-Nisa', 81)
There is a kind of madness in hypocrites. They keep still for a long time and then initiate a sudden action. They suddenly turn around and start speaking in favor of Muslims, using a saintly language. Then they change position again. Then you look and see that they change yet again.
You will find others who desire to be safe from you and safe from their own people. Whenever they are faced anew with temptation to evil, plunge into it headlong.If they do not keep away from you or submit to you or refrain from fighting, seize them and kill them wherever you find them. Over such people We have given you clear authority. (Surat an-Nisa', 91)
The subject hypocrites concentrate on most is fitnah[sedition]. The Qur'an as a whole is of no interest to them. They look to see what can be done against the Muslims. They are not in the least interested in the parts about preaching, Islamic dominion, loyalty, fortitude, or joining forces with Muslims against unbelievers. What interests the hypocrite is living in comfort and free from danger.
He thinks only of himself. But while thinking about himself, he does so by giving a very honest appearance.
The hypocrites of the End Times are very detailed and complex, since satan directly helps them, because satan does not want Islam to reign. Satan gets a hold of them. They appear to be people scrupulously living by religion and Islam. Satan is very intelligent and possesses a considerable logical framework. He has no reason or conscience. Hypocrites are the reflection of satan as a human. Allah addresses satan in a verse; " rally against them with your cavalry and your infantry." Satan's cavalry are in human form, the hypocrites, and they come, speak, and act. Satan tells them to avoid appearing irreligious, rather show to be devout. He tells them to appear to have the appearance of takwa and to swamp the believers in details; as such he commands them to clothe themselves in detail. Allah warns us not to let satan deceive us from Him. Satan's technique is to appear to have takwa and to act with Allah's name. He makes the religion very complicated, and then he says that you should avoid difficulties but that he is still living with those difficulties. People observing, might think he is very reasonable, however, he has actually prepared a labyrinth. He has established a system that will swamp them. He establishes a highly complex system incompatible with the Qur'an and the hadiths. When a person is swamped in them, satan would come and say "see, I am stable, you are weak".
How will it be when a disaster strikes them because of what they have done, and then they come to you swearing by Allah: 'We desired nothing but good and reconciliation'? (Surat an-Nisa', 62)
They come to Prophet (saas), and this also refers to their coming to Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times as an allusion: They say they want the best for people and for them to put themselves right. Hypocrites appear to favor reconciliation and to be very tolerant. Because they need to attain a position. A hypocrite intensifies his precautions when he is caught. He intensifies the impression that he is doing good and favors reconciliation. That is why the harm he does is so damaging.
He swears by Allah. He says there is a weakness somewhere that he is trying to put right. But his sole aim is to demolish Islam according his own shallow mindset. There is an aspect that he supposedly sees as a weakness. He uses the aspects he imagines that are not set out in the Qur'an, may Allah forbid, making a comparison that is not acceptable. They act like a criminal taking advantages of legal loopholes!
Hypocrites seek what they foolishly imagine to be weak spots,but in fact, if something is not outlined in the Qur'an, then it is lawful.
We do not look to see if cherries or grapes are lawful.
If there is no pronouncement, then it is lawful. The hypocrite asks where you got that idea from, imagining that he is thus being very cunning by using this method.
They swear by Allah that they said nothing, but they definitely spoke the word of unbelief and returned to unbelief after their Islam. They planned something which they did not achieve and they were vindictive for no other cause than that Allah and His Messenger had enriched them from His bounty. If they were to repent (make tawba), it would be better for them. But if they turn away, Allah will punish them with a painful punishment in the world and the Hereafter, and they will not find any protector or helper on the earth. (Surat at-Tawba, 74)
Do you know what it is that they were unable to achieve? You would imagine that the hypocrite has great ambitions. For example, to be a scholar, and in his own eyes, to be like the Prophet (saas) or that he wants to be Hazrat Mahdi (as).
However, that is not the case because theirare some naïve types with feeble minds. They want to be great scholars,they claim to be a Prophet or Hazrat Mahdi (as). But the hypocrite regards himself as superior to them all. May Allah forbid, he does not even like the idea of a creator. This is their main goal in their subconscious minds..
The hypocrite is vengeful, sick, and with a psychopathic state of mind. He wonders how he could get revenge. He spends the whole day planning how to spread false reports about Muslims. That is the only matter in his brainas well as eating,drinking and sleeping. Allahgives them the best blessings and enables them to live in the best environments through His Messenger. However that just increases their rage. they lived spotlessly and in peace alongside our Prophet (saas). They lived in a climate where nobody spoke wrong, one that was safe and full of love, but that was not enough for them. They want filth and like to live in filth.
… another group became prey to anxious thoughts, thinking other than the truth about Allah – thoughts belonging to the Time of Ignorance* – saying, 'DO WE HAVE ANY SAY IN THE AFFAIR AT ALL?' Say, 'The affair belongs entirely to Allah.' They are concealing things inside themselves which they do not disclose to you, saying, 'IF WE HAD ONLY A SAY IN THE AFFAIR, NONE OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED HERE IN THIS PLACE'. Say, 'Even if you had been inside your homes, those people for whom killing was decreed would have gone out to their place of death.' So that Allah might test what is in your breasts and purge what is in your hearts. Allah knows the contents of your hearts. (Surah Al 'Imran, 154)
They look at events through ignorance, not with the logic of theQur'an. In their minds, the logic of the Qur'an is only to be used for opposing the Qur'an. That is why a hadith narrated from Hazrat Ali says,
"Hazrat Mahdi's (as) work is difficult, because the hypocrites will oppose him with the Qur'an."
Since they are out for their own interests, they say, "What is in it for us?. There is nothing in it for us. We will either be imprisoned or slandered. There is nothing to be gained for us".
They could not bear to see the Prophet's (saas) face. His radiance burned them. The radiance of Hazrat Mahdi (as) will also burn the hypocrites. They will be unable to look upon him. They will flee as far away as possible. They will stay as far away from Hazrat Mahdi (as) as they can.
Like those before you who had greater strength than you and more wealth and children. They enjoyed their portion; so enjoy your portion as those before you enjoyed theirs. You have plunged into defamation as they plunged into it. The actions of such people come to nothing in the world or in the Hereafter. They are the lost. (Surat at-Tawba, 69)
They look to see what their portion is eating, drinking and taking their ease. They appear to defend the Qur'an but actually strive against it. How do they do that? By notstriving on the path of Allah. Every hypocrite is an anti-Mahdi. No hypocrite will ever speak of Hazrat Mahdi (as).
What were earlier hypocrites like? They also fled. They fled from Muslims in order to obtain what they stood to gain from their business or parents.
One of my main duties is to crush the hypocrites, with the Qur'an, the hadiths, with knowledge and love. Love burns hypocrisy, affection burns hypocrisy. Hypocrites want blood and oppression. Some ignorant people also want that. They are a separate matter. Hypocrites are always terrified of a disaster befalling them. Their lives are hellish.
May Allah destroy those who attempt to divide Turkey. May Allah befuddle their minds. May Allah drive them mad. May Allah ruin those who attempt to divide it. We will never allow Turkey to be split up. There is no need for such a fear. There is unity in the time of the movement of the Mahdi. Turkey will become the Turan, and will grow. The whole Islamic world will unite under Turkish leadership. This is not a union of race, or of genetic superiority. May Allah destroy the fascist mindset. That is what the light of Allah, our beautiful Prophet (saas), says.
They issue statements calling for unity with the Papacy against violence. Then they collect Darwinists together in the Vatican and they make Darwinist propaganda. People who learn Darwinism have to espouse dialectical materialistic philosophy. It is impossible to be a Darwinist and espouse any other system. He becomes a Leninist. Lenin says, "wreak violence." Who will an ordinary person listen to? Do you think he will listen to the Pope, or to Darwin? Of course, he listens to Darwin. You can bring people together at the Vatican and hold meetings. When it said that Darwinism is true and they try to put those who say it is wrong, in a difficult position then that becomes unacceptable. That would be highly dishonest. Uniting against violence can only be accomplished by uniting against Darwinism, and only then the matter will be totally resolved.
(Regarding Hawking's statements) The poor man is in any case unable to speak. It is a disgrace to use him in this way. He is struggling to stay alive. They started taking free shots. This man is physically collapsed, so there would be mental problems as well. His brain is giving way and all he can say is that he is hungry or thirsty. You [Hawking] say that nothing existed, but that also gravity existed. You are talking about gravity, the law of attraction in the universe, where and how is that universe to cause attraction? It has been swollen by the crow, so where is the crow? It has flown off. It is just like saying something like this. Also to argue that he said all this just by moving his eyes is a most dishonest way of behaving.
Arguing with you about the Truth after it had been made clear as though they were being driven to their death with open eyes. (Surat al-Anfal, 6)
They always wanted to argue with our Prophet (saas). They strove to checkmate our Prophet (saas) in their own foolish eyes. But they were always completely routed. They foolishly gossiped about our Prophet's (saas) marriages. They talked about the women who gave themselves to him. Women who gave themselves without asking for any dowry. They were jealous of our Prophet (saas)'s enthusiasm and his love.
They were very unhappy about this. It really upset them. Allah draws particular attention to it. These are people with castrated minds, castrated souls. But Allah made them wretched and miserable. He bestowed honor and virtue and beauty on our Prophet (saas) and, most important of all, His approval and Paradise, insha'Allah.
Among you there are people who hang back and if you encounter a setback then they say, 'Allah has blessed me in that I was not there with them.' (Surat an-Nisa' 72)
Hypocrites stay behind, they try to slow everything down. They make everything difficult and become caught up in minor details. They postpone matters and take everything very slowly. Some people do this out of ignorance, of course.
The Companions of the Thicket denied the Messengers. (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 176)
Whenever Allah makes a promise they certainly deny it. When it is said, "the Prophet will come," they deny that. People also deny that Hz. Mahdi (as) will come. Even though the Prophet (saas) spoke of it, and he gave evidence, and it is compatible with the hadiths and indicated in verses of the Qur'an, and though it is in agreement with the law of Allah and discussed in the entire Al-Qutub as-Sittah, they still try to reject and deny it with all their might.
when Shu'ayb said to them, 'Will you not have taqwa?
I am a faithful Messenger to you.
so have taqwa of Allah and obey me.
I do not ask you for any wage for it. My wage is the responsibility of no one but the Lord of all the worlds. (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 177-180)
"Shu'ayb" means a branch, a small group within a larger community. It is also one of the names of Hazrat Mahdi (as). A small branch. People are always uneasy with people who are materialistic and out for their own advantage, and that is what is described here. Messengers always say, "I have nothing to gain, I am just speaking for the approval of Allah."
Do not diminish people's goods and do not go about the earth, corrupting it. (Surat ash-Shu'ara', 183)
For example, when it is certain that someone deserves more money but due to his dire straits the other party gives less money to him.. Or let us say he has a house that would cost about a trillion but he sells it for 300 billion just because he has financial problems. Allah tell us not to say "oh how nice,"that it is not appropriate to take advantage from his being cornered. One needs to give whatever he truly deserves.
If We had sent it down to a non-Arab
who had then recited it to them, they still would not have iman in it. (Surat ash-Shu'ara, 198-199)
A secondary, allusive meaning of this verse refers to Hazrat Mahdi (as). He will not know Arabic either, but he will tell people of the Qur'an. Our Prophet (saas) knew Arabic very well. If we think of the verse as meaning, "if We had given him the task of describing the Qur'an and explaining it in the best way" as the secondary, allusive meaning, then the verse is telling us that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will read it to people, but non-believers will still not believe. Secondarily, it means that although Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not speak Arabic, he will understand it by reading it in translation, or from commentaries or the works of Sunni scholars and will thus tell others about it. It is clear that he will read it in translation and explain.
They will not have iman in it until they see the painful punishment. (Surat ash-Shu'ara, 201)
Allah says they only believe when there is an economic crisis, pain and suffering.
It will come upon them suddenly when they are not expecting it. (Surat ash-Shu'ara, 202)
Allah is here referring to the Day of Reckoning in the End Times.
Shall I tell you upon whom the satans descend?
They descend on every evil liar. (Surat ash-Shu'ara, 221-222)
Those who narrow the explicit pronouncements of the Qur'an, those who make up new barriers, and who turn things upside down. Anyone who does not espouse Islamic Union would indulge in sin. Because acquiescence in oppression is itself oppression. For example, someone has an axe in his hand and is holding it above a child's head. He is going to hit him with it. But if you hold his arm back he will not be able to. But if someone sits back and watches, what does that mean? You would be in the same situation with the person holding the axe. But when Islamic Union is applied, that axe will remain in the air. So if you do not want Islamic Union, down comes the axe on that person's head, and you are morally responsible, and that is a sin. All sins, drugs, and illicit relations happen when there is no Islamic Union. Hundreds of thousands of people are dying from drugs, and in one way you are a partner in that. Because you have the means to put a stop to it. For example, you see a snake moving ahead, toward a bed where there is a child sleeping, but if you close the door it will be unable to reach the child. But someone sits back and watches with a cigarette in his hand and the snake coils around the child and suffocates it, that person watching would be responsible as well. He is responsible for the people committing suicides, for Muslims being disintegrated, for the economic pains of Muslims, for Muslims depredating each other, for Muslims being oppressed in foreign countries. For example, they rape little children and women in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have even put those images on the internet. It is very difficult to look at those images. They put the rape of an 8-year-old child on the internet. It would mean that they have acquiescence about all of this.
They give them a hearing and most of them are liars. (Surat ash-Shu'ara, 223)
Hypocrites gather news from all around. They constantly collect reports about Muslims. They are always in contact with one another. Their system is based on lies and false accusations.
Do you not see how they ramble on in every style (Surat ash-Shu'ara, 225)
They produce fantasies, things that don't have an existence. Imaginary things.
Being afraid of being a hypocrite is one of the signs of a believer. The hypocrite does not take it personally, he is also certain that he is a hypocrite. When you say,"Dog!"He says, "Are you talking to me?" You say, "Paper is white." And he says, "My face is white, too, so you are trying to establish a link between them." But the hypocrite does not accept the verses about hypocrites. He in any case rejects the Qur'an, so why deal and admit to such a threat. The only reason the hypocrite is uneasy about the verses regarding hypocrites is because they embarrass him. The Qur'an explains their situation so explicitly and we interpret them in such an explicit manner that they have no place to run and hide. He is uneasy because of his pride. It is as if he receives a direct blow to the brain when everything you say is a direct hit, when the things told are exactly compliant. He is unable to deny anything. He panics at the thought that everyone realizes who he is. The hypocrite is like a wounded pig, it constantly tries to flee but is always caught.
The hypocrite is very fond of his pride and the things one explains would hit him on the head like a sledgehammer. The hypocrite does not believe in the verses of the Qur'an anyway. That is, they are of no concern to him. Thebeliever would say, "is this verse refering to me?" The believer is after correcting himself. The hypocrite says, "How is it that I mention Allah's name but still get caught?" The hypocrite knows this all the way down into the deepest cell in his brain.
Hypocrites are so perverse that it is generally difficult to argue with them. But they cannot do this in the Hereafter. In the Hereafter they try to do this before Allah as well. The hypocrite would say "I never wanted to do such a thing" However his tongue says, "you thought of it." He says "My hand never did that". But his hand says, "You did it." The organs of his body will speak. Otherwise the hypocrite is prone to all kinds of sophistry.

Oops! 10 Celebrity Lyric Flubs and Lip Sync Disasters
Even Justin Bieber can forget the lyrics to his own songs sometimes…
-Lucia Peters
Is it really too much to ask that the multi-million-dollar singers of the world make the effort to learn the lyrics to their own songs? Really? Well, apparently the answer is yes, because it's far from unusual for our favorite singers and musicians to flub their lyrics, or even—gasp!—lip sync their songs. Scandal!
Okay, okay, maybe we're being a liiiittle unfair here; even the best of us suffer from brain farts every now and again. It's harder to explain away the lip syncing, but hey, that happens, too. From Justin Bieber to Christina Aguilera, here are 10 of our favorite celeb lyric flubs and lip sync disasters!
1. Justin Bieber
The Biebs appeared on The Today Show last Wednesday morning to perform his brand-new rendition of "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town," which is featured on the soundtrack to the movie Arthur Christmas. Unfortunately, though, Justin had a little trouble remembering the lyrics. He got the opening just fine, but when it came to the second part of the song, he, er… didn't quite nail it. Start paying attention around the one minute mark and you'll see what we mean.
2. Ashlee Simpson
Ah, yes: The infamous SNL lip sync debacle. On October 23, 2004, Ashlee was scheduled to perform both "Pieces of Me" and "Autobiography" on Saturday Night Live—but when she started singing "Autobiography," the lyrics for "Pieces of You" were heard before she even got the microphone to her mouth. So she did a hoedown instead. Ashlee later explained that due to sever acid reflux, her doctor who told her to take it easy on the singing, hence the lip sync. True? We're not really sure.

3. Christina Aguilera
Xtina got into some trouble back in February of 2011 when she sang the National Anthem at the Super Bowl: The line "O'er the ramparts we watched" mysteriously vanished from the song when she sang it. She later told CNN, "I got so caught up in the moment of the song that I lost my place. I can only hope that everyone could feel my love for this country and that the true spirit of its anthem still came through." Ah well. Happens to the best of us.
4. Miley Cyrus
Miley made an appearance on British TV show Saturday Night Takeaway in February of 2009 which unfortunately didn't go quite as planned. Hello, forgotten lyrics to "Fly On the Wall!" Check it out 17 seconds in.
5. Scotty McCreery
We realize that for a newly-minted star, the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade can be a little overwhelming, but that doesn't mean we're not going to make fun of mistakes. This year's American Idol winner, Scotty McCreery, was set to "perform" his hit song "The Trouble With Girls" during the parade—though unfortunately, he doesn't seem terribly comfortable with lip syncing yet. All performances at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade are lip synced, so that's not where the problem lies; here's what happened: The lyrics to the song kick in at the 13 second mark—but Scotty doesn't open his mouth until a few seconds later. Whoops. At least he wasn't alone, though; Avril Lavigne had the same problem. P.S. Does anyone else think Scotty looks an awful lot like Alfred E. Newman?
More lyric flubs and lip sync disasters, including Lauren Alaina and Britney Spears, up next!

HIGHLAND – The Salvation Army is in full swing this season to help provide families with an extra bit of holiday cheer.
Hundreds of needy families flocked to the San Bernardino Salvation Army site at 2626 E. Pacific St. in Highland on Thursday to receive food and toys they might otherwise not have during the Christmas season.
"It's an opportunity to show the love of God to the community and help them as much as possible," said Maj. Steve Ball, director of the San Bernardino corps.
More than 600 families are expected to be served during the two-day event, which will continue today.
Each family will be given a Christmas gift basket filled with canned goods, a Stater Bros. gift certificate and toy donations from the "Christmas Giving Tree" program.
After singing carols and hearing a gospel message on the Christmas story, San Bernardino resident Loami Castro and her family walked out of the Salvation Army site with a smile on her face as she carried her bag of gifts and box of food to her car.
"It's a great help," Castro said. "Now my family will have toys for Christmas and they're going to be really happy."

Gonzales Named Shikar-Safari Wildlife Officer of the Year
AUSTIN, Texas — Game Warden Raul "Pinky" Gonzales of Refugio has been named "Texas Wildlife Officer of the Year" by the wildlife conservation and hunting organization Shikar-Safari International.
Gonzales graduated from the Texas Game Warden Training Academy in February 1987. His first duty station was in Rockport in Aransas County. During his tenure there, he active in what was then known as the "Redfish Wars," which involved the prevention of gill-netting red drum and speckled trout for commercial gain. His efforts in this area are a contributing factor to the outstanding coastal fishing that many Texans enjoy today.
He hash also been involved in numerous water related search and rescue operations. One such rescue occurred when a boat containing three Texans capsized in Copano Bay in the late evening hours. One of the three men was found clinging to a wellhead a short distance from the capsized boat. He later told Gonzales that he was tired and ready to let go of his grip, and had it not been for seeing the game warden's spotlight nearby, he would have given up and drowned.
In 1992, Gonzales transferred to Refugio County, where year after year he has consistently made numerous apprehensions of violators who take deer and other game illegally from county public roads.
During the spring turkey season a few years ago, he rescued three turkey hunters who were suddenly trapped on their hunting lease due to rising floodwaters. He was able to navigate his patrol boat inside the flooded property, maneuvering around trees, brush, and fence posts to make the rescue. One youth hunter, a frightened 11-year old boy, was consoled by Warden Gonzales, who gave the boy step by step instructions throughout the ordeal.
Earlier this year, Gonzales was instrumental in solving a string of burglaries for the Refugio County Sheriff's Department where a large amount of stolen property was recovered. This case was a direct result of the trust that Gonzales has established in his community. A person who would speak only to Gonzales gave him information that enabled him and Sheriff's deputies to recover the stolen property and make an arrest. Additionally, Gonzales discovered that the suspect had killed two calves. Using crime scene investigative procedures and a DNA forensics laboratory, Gonzales was able to identify ownership and the property from which the two calves were rustled, which lead to a guilty verdict.
Gonzales continues to contribute a column in the local newspaper that is well received by the community and he conducts at least one youth hunt annually in Refugio County to introduce youngsters to the outdoors. Many of Refugio County's youth have taken their first deer on one of Gonzales's annual hunts.

The ACT Brumbies are confident they have nothing to worry about despite revelations a former fitness consultant was convicted of importing steroids.
A Fairfax Media report on Sunday revealed John Pryor worked with the Brumbies in 2004 and was convicted of illegally importing performance-enhancing supplements four years earlier. Pryor was hired by then Brumbies coach David Nucifora to assist the squad with speed work.
It came after Pryor was convicted of importing three bottles of the banned drug DHEA-100 and two bottles of androstenedione in November 2000, for which he was fined $500.
Pryor also held roles with the Wallabies (2004-07), employed when former Brumbies coach Eddie Jones was in charge, and the Waratahs (2007).
Neither Brumbies chief executive Andrew Fagan or then chief executive Rob Clarke knew of Pryor's previous conviction, but were sure the coaching staff did. Jones said he knew of the conviction when he hired Pryor.
Australian sport has been under a cloud since the Australian Crime Commission released a report indicating links between organised crime, match fixing and performance-enhancing drugs in the AFL and NRL.
Fagan said the Brumbies weren't concerned about Pryor's past and the story was just ''topical''.
''I don't think that this is linked to the ACC stuff at all, apart from the fact that it's topical,'' he told The Canberra Times.
''You're talking about a guy who did some speed-coach work with us on a part-time basis nine years ago and … wasn't in any way involved with any supplementation program.
''Rugby hasn't in any way been implicated in the ACC report and this in no way is part of any ACC inquiry.''
Clarke agreed the Brumbies had done nothing wrong. While not having knowledge of Pryor's past himself, he was confident Nucifora would have known through Jones's links with the Brumbies.
''I wasn't, but that doesn't mean the coaching staff or those in the professional team environment were not at the time,'' Clarke said.
''Obviously Eddie Jones has made it clear he was aware of the past, and the past was the past. And given Eddie was at the Brumbies, then I anticipate, based on what he commented publicly, that he did know.''

Help Construct a Pastoral Center for Migrants in Israel
Tuesday, October 8, 2013
Project Code: 321-01-19
The situation of Christians in the Middle East can be a difficult and changing one for many reasons, including shifting populations. On the one hand, there is an exodus of Arab Christians from the countries of the Middle East. Yet, on the other, there is an influx of Christians who have left their own countries (such as the Philippines, India, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe) for financial reasons and have come here in search of work. In Israel, today there are between 50,000 and 60,000 Catholic immigrants, of whom 35,000 or so are Filipinos. Providing the appropriate pastoral care for them is a massive challenge for the Church, since unlike the Christians from the immediate region, they do not speak any Arabic. At the same time, a pastoral outreach in English is also insufficient, since in many cases the children of these immigrants now speak only Hebrew. The pastoral care of the Hebrew-speaking Catholics in Israel, and indeed the pastoral care of migrants generally, has been entrusted by the Latin patriarchate of Jerusalem to the Vicariate of Saint James, and specifically to the care of Father David Neuhaus. The vicariate was first established in the year 2011 and today comprises seven parishes, of which five are Hebrew-speaking and two Russian-speaking. The pastoral outreach also extends beyond these parishes, since the vicariate also attends to the needs of foreign workers and asylum seekers, above all Sudanese and Eritreans. In addition, there are several dozen Arab Christian families who, for reasons of employment, find themselves living in Hebrew-speaking towns. Their children are taught in Hebrew and learn to speak and think in this language.Now a center is to be built in the south of Tel Aviv which will bear the name "Our Lady, Woman of Valor." Here in Tel Aviv, in addition to the indigenous Arab-speaking and Hebrew-speaking Catholics, there are also many thousands of Catholic migrants. The two Catholic churches in Jaffa, to the south of Tel Aviv, are not enough to cater to all these Catholics in Tel Aviv, while the city of Tel Aviv itself does not have any established Catholic presence. In 2009, a group of Filipinos rented a hall in the south of the city in an effort to meet their needs. Within three years the community had to change its location three times. Today, there are five Sunday Masses in a rented bunker. Yet, despite this, a great many migrants remain without any pastoral care and at times join one of the many small Protestant sects. The overall aim is to build a center for worship, as well as for catechesis, preparation courses for the Sacraments, vocational training and adult training courses. Additionally, the center would provide the necessary basis for an outreach to asylum seekers, in collaboration with other organizations.The center needs to be in a place that can be easily reached by local public transport. Father Neuhaus is in contact with the city authorities, and in particular with the local mayor, who is well aware of the particular needs in this area. Thankfully, the local authorities are well disposed towards the work of the Church here.The building, which is still to be purchased and then converted, will serve a variety of needs: on the ground floor there would be chapels for the various different language groups, as well as space for a general assembly room. On the first floor, there would be living quarters for the priest and a general parish center. The second floor would accommodate a small hall and two classrooms, while the third floor would provide accommodation for a community of religious Sisters who are already involved in the pastoral outreach to the migrants. In addition, there would be space for various multipurpose rooms for such things as medical care, social workers, and catechesis, among other needs. This center is urgently needed for this complex region, and ACN hopes to be able to contribute $9,900. Will you give to help construct this pastoral center for the care of Catholic migrants in Israel?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/9/2012 (1808 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
BRENDON LaBatte and Odell Willis say they've prepared themselves for hostile receptions when the former Winnipeg Blue Bombers players take the field at Canad Inns Stadium for the Banjo Bowl this afternoon wearing the green uniforms of the hated Saskatchewan Roughriders.
LaBatte said he has no doubt that he will be targeted for abuse -- right alongside his teammates on the Riders sideline -- by the notorious East Side fans. And he's not concerned.
"That's fine -- that's water off a duck's back." LaBatte told reporters in Winnipeg Saturday afternoon. "That's such a small part of the game. When people want to make the personal attacks and all that -- it doesn't hold a lot of credibility. You definitely don't get wrapped up in too much of that.
"You ignore it, block it out and know that it's only for a couple hours. You turn the other cheek and hopefully execute well on the field and hopefully that will take some wind out of them."
Willis, in contrast, said he's looking forward to sharing in a colourful afternoon of banter. "I expect to hear everything. I enjoy it," he said. "I hope someone gives me a good one to give me something to laugh about.
"So like I said, I expect the worst. But I like it."
LaBatte signed with the Riders as a free agent in the off-season after a four-year career with the Bombers, while Willis was traded to Saskatchewan over the winter after spending the last two seasons in Blue and Gold.
Today's big game marks the first time the two have returned to Canad Inns Stadium.
LaBatte was a CFL all-star last season and his off-season departure has often been cited this season as a factor in Winnipeg's disastrous 2-7 start.
LaBatte says he has nothing "but fond memories" of his time in Winnipeg, but suspects not all Bombers fans will remember him as fondly as he does them. "I've got nothing bad to say. I'm sure there are people out there who have bad things to say about me.
"But like I said earlier... it's definitely something I'm not too worried about."
Willis said he's wistful about his time in Winnipeg, but also happy to be where he is. "It's bittersweet," said Willis. "I miss the surroundings outside the football. But other than that, it is what it is. It's a business, I'm a Rider now, I enjoy it and I love it.
"I just miss my friends. Other than that, I'm happy where I'm at right now."
LaBatte thinks the backdrop for today's game, coming just a week after a 52-0 Riders' defeat of the Bombers in Regina, couldn't be simpler.
"They've obviously got redemption on their mind," said LaBatte, "and we have repeat on ours."

- A needle and thread means more to Pat Andersen than just sewing.
"I started quilting when I was 19 so it's been a passion of mine for a long time," said Pat.
Quilting gives her a community of ladies in the Northwoods.
"Sayner needs something like this, it needs something for the women to do," said Pat.
After moving to Sayner with her husband Don last spring, the two decided to buy the building that now houses Plum Lake Quilts. Pat needed somewhere to put her long arm machine and that eventually turned into a little retail business.
"I mean little and then it grew a little bit and it grew a little bit more," said Don Andersen.

- Cancer survivors and supporters gathered at Ministry St. Mary's Hospital for the 10th annual Celebration of Life Thursday. The event honors those battling cancer or survivors of cancer and shows people what kinds of services the James Beck Cancer Center offers.
The center's namesake lost his life to cancer, but now others will be able to benefit from his gift to the hospital.
"With his vision and his dollars we were able to put this cancer center here in Rhinelander so patients don't have to travel to larger cities," said Director of Cancer Services Kimberly Hetland.
This year's speaker was Mike Regole, a survivor of tonsil cancer. He spoke about his experience at the center, how family and support affected his journey, and how he ran a business while having cancer.

Eagle River man defies age to excel in triathlons

- Doctors thought back surgery and age would hold Jack Godding back.
Just a few months after being told his limits, he out did them and set higher standards.
"In general I'm racing against myself," said Goding.
When you think of competitive athletes, someone like Eagle River's Jack Godding probably isn't the first thing to come to mind.
That mind set will be your disadvantage if you're ever up against Jack in a race.
"It's a personal goal, personal goal," said Gooding.
Jack's been competing in races most of his life and started kayaking just six years ago. Not even back surgery could slow him down.
"First [the doctor] said I wouldn't be able to kayak for almost a year," said Godding.
Just a few months later he was cruising through the waters.
"I'd like to see how many younger ones I can out do ," said Godding.

It turns out that dairy – not just milk – really does do a body good. But, as a new study found, not all dairy is created equal in the fight against osteoporosis.
The study, completed by researchers at the Institute for Aging Research and published in the journal Archives of Osteoporosis, found an association between milk and yogurt consumption and high bone mineral density (BMD) in the hip. Research also indicated that cream, though higher in fat, may be associated with an overall lower BMD, though more research is needed.
"Dairy foods provide several important nutrients that are beneficial for bone health," the study's lead author Shivani Sahni, said in a news release. "However, cream and its products such as ice cream have lower levels of these nutrients and have higher levels of fat and sugar. In this study, 2.5 to 3 servings of milk and yogurt intake per day were associated with better bone density. More research is needed to examine the role of cheese intake (some of which can be high in fat and sodium), and whether individual dairy foods have a significant impact in reducing fractures."
Last year, researchers at the University of South Australia found that dairy not only is a healthy option for both, but also could have saved Australia's national health-care system $112 million annually and spared 40,000 men and women from the degenerative bone disease. Read more here.

Spend enough time on this planet of ours and you'll have to learn to live with disappointment. This is one of those times.
There's a website out there called JunkScience. Its mission is something we Dead Hands can completely support, and the tagline expresses it perfectly: "All the Junk That's Fit to Debunk." I get their RSS feed... don't read it much, but occasionally something catches my eye, and I'm rarely offended by a healthy, skeptical viewpoint.
Of course, there's such a thing as too much of a good thing. Where skepticism is concerned, that's the point where skepticism slips into overt paranoia. You can see it coming easily enough: well-founded analysis gives way to name-calling and ad hominem attacks, and evidence of wrongdoing gives way to lists of accusations supported by avalanches of irrelevant data. And, of course, any dissenting opinion gets ruthlessly squashed.
Unfortunately, that's what appears to be happening at JunkScience.
The whole thing started with the flap over John Casey and his new Space and Science Research Center. It turned out that the folks at JunkScience had decided that Casey—who has a rather impressive resume, mostly involving large, government science projects—is actually a fraud of some unspecified variety. They went so far as to publish a PDF (which I will NOT link to) containing tons of completely irrelevant links "supporting" their argument, as well as some personal information that I'm sure Casey would have preferred remain private. It was a shameful display, not least because it really appears that JunkScience and SSRC are mainly in agreement on the relevant issues (climate change, mostly).
I submitted a comment to the relevant post at JunkScience, respectfully pointing out the flaws in their argument and suggesting that their readership might be interested in seeing them debate Casey's ideas instead of attacking the man. The comment function at JunkScience is moderated, and a few minutes ago I received notice that my comments had been rejected by the moderator.
Fair enough, I guess. Disappointing, but still a credible exercise of the freedom that my father and I collectively spent four decades defending. What really got my blood boiling, though, was the subject line of the message.
It read: "Comments for hire?"
Hmm. So it appears that, at Junk Science, it isn't enough to besmirch a man's reputation on the flimsiest of evidence, release his home address and private e-mail into the public domain, and squelch anybody who speaks in his defense. Nah. To complete the pattern, it appears necessary to attack the credibility of those people as well... all while never in any way addressing the IDEAS in question.
As we speak, I'm having an e-mail exchange with the editor of JunkScience, wherein he suggests that our comments—Robert posted one as well—were rejected by their spam filter. A remarkably bright machine, evidently, since it was also able to detect that we Dead Hands are on the take from a scam artist who is, as the author put it, "looking for 'meaningful funding' and he thinks the skeptic community might be eager enough to slay the catastrophic warming myth to fork over some cash."
Really, seriously pathetic, and a true disappointment from a website with a banner on its home page that shouts, "DEMAND DEBATE!"

Right so I'll try to describe my status as quickly as I can. I'm CGI artist - photographer - mainly visual work. I started about 1 year ago learning python to help me with my work. Since then I can not stop using it. It decreased my working time by hours. Now most of the code I write is only for me as it stays in code - which is very non user friendly and FIX- meaning I cant change variables. Now I would like to be able to have UI. I have been fighting with UI's for about 6 months. Most of them I managed to solve however recent UI chellenge just break my head and I end up whining like baby. Just cant get through it. Basically in the past I was controlling single things. Click > Do > Done. Now I want to set up rules and then based on those rules I want to execute final action - this just don't fit in my head.
Anyway I'll start from basics:
What IDE ?! In past I used Maya now I need a standalone IDE that I could test scripts in and use. I looked around I got for example trial of JetBrains PyCharm but I cant execute script no matter what I do - made my cry hard for past few hours.
for QT I use QT Editor I think I'm fairly happy with it so far.
so next question is what really is xml with QT? One of my apps can only take UI using this format and xml is quite wide subject to research. Could any1 point me to a more compressed readable for new users definition please.
And lastly. Here is the basic script I'm working on.
- Code: Select all
ActionA = "False"
AvtionB = "False"
def checkboxA(tick):
if tick == True:
ActionA = "True"
print ActionA
print " checkboxA Enabled"
print " checkboxA Disabled"
def checkboxB(tick):
if tick == True:
ActionB = "True"
print " checkboxB Enabled"
print " checkboxB Disabled"
Now what I'm trying to do is to have few checkboxes. Than depending on their True/False value will cause button to execute certain commands.
For some reason this script is crashing. Now I have no idea if its Python or QT or the software itself is buggy... reason I think I need standalone IDE to test it.
Later on I want to add input lines and other stuff but thats not on my head right now.
So how do I go about creating settings in python and then executing them. Is my approach the right one?
Thanks, bye.

Squished squirrels evolve as road kill victims of "evolutionary illusions". New Scientist 22 April 2006, p11 reported they are doing things they "evolved to do, but at the wrong time or in the wrong place." Ecologist Joel Brown of University of Chicago, Illinois claims this explains why so many squirrels end up being squashed on roads, because they spent millions of years evolving to cross open spaces as quickly as possible, "without wasting time watching for predators they wouldn't be able to escape anyway."
Another example is reported by Reed Bowman of Archbold Biological Station, Lake Placid, Florida who studied Florida scrub jays. Because of the abundance of bird feeders in suburban gardens urban jays have been breeding earlier than country birds, but the nuts provided by well-meaning humans are not suitable to feed the young, and there is not enough of their usual food, insect larvae, until later in Spring, so the young are not fed properly.
Other studies indicate bright lights can confuse migrating birds and emerging turtles. One example of adaptation to city life has been observed in European great tits. Urban birds sing at a higher pitch so they can be heard against the background din of the city. Brown commented: "Most of these species have just begun to adapt to human environments. It's a cool natural experiment."
Editorial Comment: Whatever is happening to animals and birds living in urban areas it is not evolution. Since road kill naturally selects inept squirrels, leaving only those which either made it across or don't cross roads, those creatures that survive have simply used their already existing ability to learn a new behaviour to cope with a changing environment. They will still be the same creatures. Those that cannot learn this will die out. Thus we have "survival of fittest" and "natural selection" but we do not have evolution. Adaptation, survival and selection are all real processes but they do not produce new living creatures. (Ref. ecology, urbanisation, niches)

FOLLOWING such a good result and performance at Leyton Orient last week there was more frustration for fans on Saturday as City failed to capitalise on that result by drawing with fellow strugglers Tranmere Rovers at Ashton Gate.
Before the match Steve Cotterill had, in my opinion, unnecessarily built up the game as "the biggest of the season" and his charges failed to perform and looked jaded throughout.
After the 2-2 draw Cotterill said tiredness was to blame for a lacklustre first half. Whilst City have had a busy schedule of late it still does beg the question as to why he didn't freshen up the starting line-up following last Tuesday's game at Orient.
He has a decent enough squad at this level in terms of depth to have made some changes without weakening the team too much.
Incredibly, this was City's 14th draw of the season meaning we have drawn nearly half of our league games. Coupled with just 6 wins all season, it's easy to see why we're still very much in a relegation scrap.
The games continue to come thick and fast, and this Saturday City make the trip up north to face Nigel Clough's Sheffield United at Bramall Lane. This game is another "six-pointer" as The Blades lie three points behind City in the League One relegation zone, though they do have four games in hand.
Bramall Lane has not traditionally been a happy-hunting ground for City having lost our last eight games there. City's last win came way back in 1957!
Sheffield United haven't been in good form in the league of late with just one win in their last five games. They are however on a tremendous FA Cup run having reached the quarter-finals, beating Premier League sides Fulham and Aston Villa in the process.
This is certainly another big game for both sides and a win for either would be a massive boost. Games like this tend to be tight and so another score-draw wouldn't be a surprise but here's hoping City can play in the manner they did at Orient and grab a vital victory.

Brian Klug - Tuesday, April 16, 2013 - linkThat's essentially their usage model, hence the implicit requirement that you have an Android device with Bluetooth. I'm sure it'll work standalone to some extent (they say a bluetooth enabled phone, I assume so it can tether) but ideally it needs that companion application.

If you are worried about resolution you shouldn't be. The intent I believe is to add an informational layer to your life so that you can easily perform tasks while living your daily routine, not watching movies.

Dick, Kirielius Among Leaders After Day 1 at ISU
Dick, Kirielius Among Leaders After Day 1 at ISU
Jan. 24, 2013
MANHATTAN, Kan. - The Bill Bergan Invitational got underway on Thursday afternoon with the first four events of the men's heptathlon and a pair of Wildcats is near the top of the leader board. Senior Devin Dick is in second place with 3,071 points while fellow senior Tomas Kirielius close behind in third place with 2,966 points. The pair trails Romain Martin from Texas-Arlington, who holds an 80-point lead on Dick, and finished fifth last year at the NCAA Championship.
Dick and Kirielius both opened the day with personal records in the 60 meter dash. Kirielius crossed the line in 7.27 seconds and found himself in third place following the opening event. Dick finished in 7.32 seconds and was in sixth place. Dick followed that performance with a long jump of 6.91 meters (22-08.00) to shoot up the standings into second place after two events. With a PR of nearly half a meter in the shot put, Dick helped solidify his standing in second place through three events. His toss of 13.61 meters (44-08.00) ranks third in school history in a heptathlon.
Kirielius did not have as strong a showing in the shot put but was still able to move into third place. He was the best Wildcat in the high jump clearing 2.03 meters (6-08.00), just one centimeter shy of his PR in the event to move a bit closer to Dick holding onto second place as Dick cleared 2.00 meters (6-06.75).
Dick and Kirielius will finish the heptathlon beginning at 2 p.m. Friday with the 60 meter hurdles, pole vault and 1,000 meters. K-State will also have four women competing in the pentathlon with the five-discipline event set to start at 1 p.m.
Fans can follow the action from the Bill Bergan Invitational online with live results available at cyclones.com or via Twitter by following K-State's live events feed @kstate_gameday. A full slate of events is set for Saturday with the meet being scored as a team competition.
