text: These are the REAL things that are "killing us," and not a SINGULAR player as we seem to try and rat out each week: First-year staff Revamped roster New systems on offense and defense Oh, and there's the residual effects of four years of completely incompetent coaching that's trying to wear off of this team. And that's what you saw today: A Texans team who didn't know how to avoid late hits and celebratory penalties. A Texans team that cannot hold onto the football at key times nor "put a game away" when we have the lead. It's the mark of a team that's been mired in ugliness for so long that when we finally get over on a team...we inevitably shoot ourselves in the foot because we don't know how to handle our success. It comes with the territory. It's like getting a date with your "dream girl" and then farting in front of her during the meal. Niiiiiiiiice. The big thing to remember is this: 1. NEW STAFF (as mentioned above): Kubiak benched Carr, to send a message. Message received. And nobody can pin THIS loss on David Carr. Kubiak is demonstrating the power to motivate players. AJ, if I remember correctly did not drop a pass that was catchable. AJ was motivated by the Carr benching. We had perhaps TWO false starts and only one sack that was even the fault of the o line. The o line was motivated. 2. RE-VAMPED ROSTER (as mentioned above): Team chemistry is building. Glenn Earl made the big hit, earning more rep as a heavy hitter if you don't keep your head on a swivel. Demeco and Mario are a one-two punch for sure. Owen Daniels is proving to be clutch. Walter is picking up a first down every now and then when the ball is thrown his way, doing what he's supposed to do when it's time to do it. A lot of new players mixed with a few remaining players from previous years are beginning to "gel." 3. NEW SYSTEMS ON OFFENSE AND DEFENSE (as mentioned above): Cut us some slack. We're learning a proven "winner" of an offensive system that is beginning to look more comfortable to the players each week. We switched from a 3-4 to a 4-3, and I would say that the change has been a positive one thus far. Mario is racking up sacks. Demeco is racking up tackles. How many teams change BOTH systems over the course of one offseason. and under our re-building conditions? Tick tock. Tick tock. Relax. I come here every Sunday to see who the new "scape goat" is going to be. Seems that it's Cook today. It was Carr last week. Who, oh who, will it be next week? IMO, we're amazingly good for the three reasons (mentioned above) contrasted against what we looked like a year ago at this time. We're only a bad team because the roots are not deep enough yet. People calling for Kubiak's head already? (Sigh) Wow.

The California Highway Patrol will be conduct a driving under the influence and driver license safety checkpoint beginning Friday night and into early Saturday morning somewhere within the unincorporated area of Yolo County.
DUI is a public safety problem, and sobriety checkpoints are a valuable tool in combating this major roadway danger, according to Bryan Konvalin of the CHP. Sobriety checkpoints serve three major purposes: deterrence, removal of impaired drivers from the road, and education of the driving public.
In 2012 the Woodland Area reported had the following statistics in regards to DUI and unlicensed drivers: 256 DUI arrests, 66 DUI traffic collisions investigated, four fatal DUI traffic collisions that killed five people, 23 injury traffic collisions that resulted in injuries to 36 people and 87 unlicensed or suspended licensed drivers.
The purpose of the checkpoint is to detect and deter DUI and unlicensed drivers. It will be staffed by officers trained in the detection of alcohol and/or drug-impaired drivers. Normally, the enforcement actions taken at a DUI driver license checkpoint will be limited to driver license violations, DUI, open alcoholic beverage containers, drugs and serious criminal activities. For most mechanical violations, a verbal warning will be issued.

White Chocolate Holiday Bark
0 recipe photos
READY IN:1hr 35mins
YIELD:1 1/2 pounds
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb white chocolate, finely chopped
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons oil
- 1⁄2 cup dried cranberries
- 1 1⁄4 cups shelled pistachio nuts, toasted and papery coating peeled
- Rest the chocolate thermometer on a towel. Line a baking sheet with foil.
- Pour a couple inches of water into the bottom half of the double boiler and heat over medium-low to just below a simmer. Put the chocolate in the top half of the double boiler and set over the hot water. Slowly melt the chocolate, stirring with a heat-resistant rubber spatula. As the chocolate melts, check the temperature periodically to make sure it stays between 82 and 86 degrees F. If it starts to rise above this temperature, quickly transfer the chocolate to the bowl on reserve and stir briskly to reduce heat. Return bowl to double boiler to maintain heat between 82 and 86 degrees F.
- Remove bowl from over the hot water just before all the chocolate melts. Stir vigorously until the chocolate melts completely. Check temperature again. Stir in the oil until evenly blended. Chocolate is now tempered and ready to use. Keep within the 82 to 86 degree F range, returning bowl briefly to the double boiler if necessary.
- Quickly stir the fruit and nuts into the chocolate. Spread chocolate mixture out on the prepared baking sheet so it's about 1/2-inch thick and the fruit and nuts are coated. Set bark aside at room temperature to harden. Break into angled pieces. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Gestures 04-29-08
This is what happens when I don't go to gesture drawing for a few months. Tough day, except a few I kind of like (the large one on the left for example) mostly crappy drawings in there. But hey, gotta get the bad ones out of your hand before you get to the decent ones, and I must admit I really enjoy drawing even when I am shaking off the rust.

Jazz musician Dave Brubeck died of heart failure Wednesday, Dec. 5, at age 91 in Norwalk, Connecticut, according to the Associated Press. He would have been 92 on Thursday.
The pianist and composer, who lived in nearby Wilton, formed The Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951. In 1954 Mr. Brubeck was the first jazz musician to be featured on the cover of Time magazine. The band helped reinvigorate jazz music during that era, thanks to their 1959 recording of "Take Five" -- the first jazz single to sell one million copies.
In addition to releasing original hits like "Time Out" and "It's a Raggy Waltz," the Dave Brubeck Quartet also overhauled famous stands like "You Go to My Head" and "Pennies From Heaven."
In 1986, Brubeck was inducted into the Big Band and Jazz Hall of Fame. Even in his later years, he continued to make music and perform.
"One of the reasons I believe in jazz is that the oneness of man can come through the rhythm of your heart," he told The New York Times in 2010. "It's the same anyplace in the world, that heartbeat. It's the first thing you hear when you're born -- or before you're born -- and it's the last thing you hear."
The musician is survived by his wife, Iola Whitlock, whom he met as a student at College of the Pacific in Stockton, Calif. They married in 1942 and had six children: Darius, Dan, Chris, Matthew, Michael and Cathy. (Michael died several years ago.) Brubeck leaves behind 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

How to find a good attorney?
A good lawyer can help you in any legal matter. Here are a few methods to find it and solve your problem. When it comes to any kind of legal problem, we advise you to hire a good lawyer who will know how to help. However, sometimes they can propose solutions from which the case will be lost or will even be the possibility of going to jail. To avoid this to happen, a good attorney who has the knowledge, skill and practice is indispensable. Sometimes it is very hard and difficult to find a good lawyer, but there are certain methods that will provide a successful search.
A lawyer who has a lot of successfully completed cases in court is the one you should choose. These lawyers generally know all the loopholes, which is a great thing because it increases the possibility of obtaining litigation. Also, a good lawyer is one who charged his part only when the case is closed, that is to take a certain percentage. But be careful, that's not always the case…Sometimes famous attorneys just charge and give their associates to do the work, they just procured a job.
Lawyers, who have offices near the court and similar places, more are familiar with the current situation, which is on the court and there is a chance that they will win in court with the case. They also know the strategies of other competing lawyers so be prepared in advance for any case.
Legal issues may be of different types, therefore there are lawyers who specialize in certain areas of law. For example, if it comes to divorce, it is recommended to find a lawyer who specializes in this area and that will help your client to retain as much of their property. A good lawyer can be specialized for some kind of cases, but it is specialized only for them. Keep that in mind.
Sometimes you should check your attorney. But, is it a good idea to go to a lawyer's office with the intention to present the problem and request an advisory opinion on whether the settlement of the dispute used a good tactic? Without revealing who your lawyer is, it wouldn't be good to interfere with colleagues in the business.
And one more difficult question, at least for me and people I know:
How to choose a lawyer and know whether it is good in solving a given problem? If you do not have any "inside" sources from people in the profession and practice in order to get the right recommendation.
Do you go to the office with famous names of these lawyers that appear in all sorts of television, representing more famous names in trials in the country and abroad? With the assumption that such offices have lawyers who would be skilled and experienced in their work and property issues, not only with criminals for which generally are on a TV. Sometimes it's just a good commercial and maybe they don't deal with your kind of problems.

Nokia Puts DR in Your Pocket1 Jul, 2008 By: Thomas Haire Response
The new Nokia Interactive works with Hyundai, BP and Pepsi on mobile campaigns, and Jeremy Wright says the company — and the mobile marketing revolution — is just getting started.
Leaping Into a Flourishing Market
Nokia's search for expansion into mobile advertising began with the purchase of Enpocket in fall 2007. At the time, Tero Ojanpera, Nokia's chief technology officer, explained, "Nokia has already announced its intention to be a leading company in consumer Internet services, and we believe that mobile advertising will be an important element in monetizing those services for our customers and partners. Enpocket's mature, leading-edge platform and people expertise are a strong fit with Nokia's existing capabilities in the mobile advertising market. This acquisition is a game-changing move to bring the reach and depth of Nokia to organize the market across the world, and make it easier for an ecosystem to develop."
According to Wright, the growth capabilities of the mobile market made Nokia's choice to create the Nokia Interactive Advertising business with the Enpocket deal an absolute no-brainer. "The sheer scale of mobile is stunning — there are 3.3 billion mobile users worldwide," Wright contends. "That's twice as many people with mobile phones as homes with televisions or PC users. It's far and away the largest medium, and by 2015, there will be more than 5 billion mobile devices with Internet capability in consumers' hands."
Wright points to the fact that mobile is a medium that is carried with consumers "everywhere, 24/7," when he talks about the medium's unique capabilities to reach consumers. "You can target consumers by location using GPS, by time, by almost any kind of targeting," he adds. "Already, the most advanced users around the world are major targets for advertisers."
He adds that the company conducts a regular research study, in which it interviews more than 70,000 mobile users in more than 20 countries. "This shows that advanced smart-phone users already use the mobile Internet three-to-four hours a week, and voice calls have dwindled to just 12 percent of their usage time on the phone," Wright says. "Thirty-seven percent of the time is spent on messaging."
Still, while the market in the U.S. remains relatively untapped, Wright says there are a number of opportunities, as well as things that marketers and branders need to be wary of before jumping into the mobile pool. "First off, you must not think of it as a small PC," he says sternly. "While it is a digital device, it has many different features, and users treat them differently. A lot of marketers tend to think, 'We run banners on the Web, let's see how they work on mobile.' That's not really getting to the devices' real capabilities."
Pointing to the overwhelming voter numbers on "American Idol," Wright contends that people are happy to engage via mobile with the "right opportunity or offer." He adds, "If you engage through mobile, there are mechanics and capabilities unique to mobile. It's a phone, so you can click to call. You can click to text. You can click to a mobile Web site for a coupon or download."
Wright also says that mobile users are "fashion-conscious" about their phones, making ringtones, wallpapers and other downloads valuable branding tools. He says a recent Harris Interactive study showed that 61 percent of teens are interested in free entertainment downloads. "This is a channel that allows marketers to reward consumers — free airtime, free downloads, etc. — giving it tremendous potential for driving engagement, developing opt-ins and developing response," Wright adds.
Still, Wright says there are major differences between mobile and traditional direct response. "Traditional DR has a completely ROI-driven method," he says. "More often than not, traditional DR campaigns are wholly focused on the value of the response rate itself. As long as you get the percentage to drive revenue, impact on the brand is secondary. With mobile, you have to be a lot more sensitive about opt-ins and opt-outs. You can't sell or pass lists to other brands. You have to keep a health check of all the people targeted in a mobile campaign, and you can't just hammer your base for a response."
However, while mobile DR might need a little more care from a marketer's perspective, Wright says that mobile can be combined with other media to create very successful campaigns. "It would be a mistake to look at mobile as just a push medium," he says. "It's also a wonderful pull method for other channels."

We're celebrating two Fall birthdays with a sugar skull or Day of the Dead Halloween party and I thought I would share all the fun details.
This is not your typical dark and scary Halloween party but completely the opposite. If you're looking for a bright and colorful Halloween party theme then I highly suggest sugar skulls.
I had so much fun pulling together all the party decor with a few purchased items and a few DIY handmade items which helps keep costs down and you can customize to your liking.
I decorated two rooms for this party, the treat table in the living room and the dining room for crafts:
For the treat table I painted the giant sugar skull backdrop on a piece of 1/2" plywood. It's perfect for behind the table and makes a huge impact.
The table is covered in wrapping paper (check those $1 bins for great colors and patterns!) and I added colorful party tissue fans to the front of the table:
Adding the tissue fans breaks up the harsh edge of the wrapping paper cover and adds interest.
We had a few snacks and cake on the treat table (lunch was served separately later). Dried skin chips (apple chips), eyeballs (grapes), muscle chunks (watermelon) and bone parts (popcorn). I also ordered a white frosted 7" round cake with no decorations and added the silk flowers myself to coordinate with the sugar skull theme.
The kids loved the black plastic wine goblets and we filled them with blood! (fruit punch) Each glass had a clay skull name tag which I later removed and made into fobs for their backpacks.
The Day of the Dead napkins worked great with the theme and I added bright yellow and aqua silverware to keep it colorful:
More detailed pictures of the food and easy DIY framed food labels plus these coordinating Day of the Dead paper plates:
In the dining room I hung more plastic Day of the Dead cut out banner. This was an awesome piece of decoration at 100' long, it adds so much color and movement with very little effort.
I made this quick foam wreath wrapped with fabric, added some dollar store faux flowers and hot glued on a wood cut out sugar skull. Easy. Simple but so fun and party appropriate. Rebecca at The Crafted Sparrow has a similar wreath which was my inspiration. She has amazing crafts and decor!
I had the chalkboard background from an old party awhile back which we use in the kid's loft area so I pulled it down and hung the wreath in front. Perfect.
The favor bags are simple printed cardstock with a free clip art sugar skull and some curling ribbon. We used the bags to send home the crafts.
And speaking of crafts the kids made ceramic sugar skulls and I'm so sad I didn't get an after shot of all their coloring magic.
These mini ceramic skulls are about 4" tall so really not that small. They are perfect for kids to manage and handle plus just the right amount of space to color before they get bored. I drew the designs with black marker before and they filled in using Sharpies in all the colors.
And some hand held masks. We did do a little face painting but Mommy was too busy being the painter so no pictures.
Such a fun, festive and non-scary Halloween party.

Methane emanating from coal mine powers plant's electricity
The sharp slowdown of coal production at the Elk Creek Mine in Somerset this year hasn't prevented the ramping up of electricity generation at a new plant powered by methane emanating from the site.
A $6 million plant reached full operational capacity by September, said Auden Schendler, vice president of sustainability for the Aspen Skiing Co., which invested $5.5 million into the project because of its environmental benefits.
The first of the plant's three generation units went into operation later last year, making Elk Creek the first active underground coal mine west of the Mississippi River where electricity is being generated from methane.
Fortunately, the plant's methane supply, even in the long term, shouldn't be affected by mine production problems that began Dec. 2 of last year.
That's when the mine suffered what's called a "bump," or basically a "catastrophic failure" of support pillars in a previously mined-out area, as the incident is described by Mike Ludlow, executive vice president of Oxbow Mining LLC. Oxbow owns the mine and itself is owned by billionaire Bill Koch.
The bump created an air blast that disrupted normal ventilation of the mine, eventually leading to spontaneous combustion and an unseen fire that the mine was able to detect through a rise in carbon monoxide and other gases.
The situation required everyone to be withdrawn from the mine in early January, but miners were later brought back to work in other areas where it was safe. Officials have given up on being able to recover its longwall mining equipment, which is worth tens of millions of dollars and is in an area sealed off after the incident to try to cut off oxygen supplying the fire. Forced to abandon the equipment and the part of the mine it was in, the company laid off about 150 workers at the start of October.
Mining is occurring now at a limited level as 134 remaining workers prepare a new lease area for production for future longwall mining.
"We're actively pursuing acquiring another longwall mining system," Ludlow said, but there's no timeline for getting one bought and installed.
As it happens, the new power plant's operation doesn't rely on continuing full-bore mine production, or for that matter any production at all.
"We're still draining methane from the mine and the methane generators are running. We expect it to continue for the long term," said Ludlow, although he said reconstruction of some concrete wall mine seals next summer could cause some temporary interruption in generation.
The reason generation can continue even without much coal production is because the mine "is in effect a big gas well," Ludlow said.
"It continues to liberate methane just like a gas well would."
As in the case of a well, methane production will deplete over the years, and Ludlow said he's not sure how long that will take. But it won't be overnight, and it will continue to drain the surrounding geologic strata even without active mining, he said.
"We expect it to go 30 years," Schendler said about the plant.
He said that even as the plant was being planned, it wasn't clear whether the mine would be able to continue operating more than a few years anyway. But the business pro forma for the generation project nevertheless was able to assume a 15-year life span, and Schendler's optimism about operations lasting twice that long are based on things such as an analysis of gas production in the geology in the mine.
"One of the first iterations, in France, of this technology, it was developed 30 years ago and it's still going," he added.
Gas wells in Garfield County have been producing for decades, after hydraulic fracturing was used to crack open formations and foster flow.
"A way to think about coal mining is it's manual fracking, so they've fracked this area and it's producing gas. It will continue to produce whether the mine is open or not," Schendler said.
The broad-based partnership in the methane-capture project also includes Oxbow's sister company, Gunnison Energy, which owns the oil and gas rights in the mine area; Denver-based Vessels Coal Gas, Inc.; and Holy Cross Energy, a utility based in Glenwood Springs that is buying the electricity.
The project makes use of gas that previously was being vented into the atmosphere. Methane is considered more than 20 times as potent as carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas.
Aspen Skiing got involved in part because it is worried about the long-term impacts on its business from global warming, and it also didn't want to see methane going to waste.
With all three generating units now running, the 3-megawatt facility produces enough electricity to meet the needs of about 2,000 homes, or the equivalent of all of Aspen Skiing's operations, including four mountains as well as hotels and restaurants.
Aspen Skiing's role is simply as an investor in the project, and it is interested in helping build another 15 megawatts or more additional electricity production at the Oxbow mine.
"The big challenge is getting a contract from a utility that pays enough that you can do the project," Schendler said.
"Essentially if you don't care about the carbon benefits, (the) carbon intensity of your power, there's not really an incentive to buy this kind of power over cheaper power," he said.
One interested entity is the Delta-Montrose Electric Association, but it's currently constrained by its contract with its electricity provider, Tri-State Generation and Transmission Association, of which DMEA is one of 44 member-owners.
Schendler said it's hard for a "little boutique project" like a methane-capture plant, which taps free gas but has high costs, to compete with big-scale power available to Tri-State and generated by coal and natural gas.
"By far on (reduced) carbon intensity it crushes any other kind of power production but we don't have a carbon tax so it's not reflected in the market," he said.
DMEA general manager Dan McClendon said his utility would love to tap gas from coal mines in the North Fork Valley, in part as a way of supporting the local economy.
However, it is required under its Tri-State contract to obtain 95 percent of its power from Tri-State, and DMEA has reached its 5 percent cap for locally produced power.
This year it completed its South Canal hydroelectric project near Montrose.
While DMEA has asked Tri-State to relax the 5 percent cap, "we are coming up against a wall right now," McClendon said.
Controversial state legislation passed this year will require Tri-State to get 20 percent of its power from renewables by 2020. Methane from coal qualifies as a source under the legislation.
But McClendon thinks Tri-State will meet that goal by buying renewable energy credits through a marketplace, which could result in cheap wind and other renewable projects being funded, even outside Colorado. Tri-State's goal is to be a low-cost provider, and wouldn't be interested in paying a premium for coal mine methane power, he said.
But McClendon thinks the Environmental Protection Agency's plans to require reduced carbon emissions from coal power plants will make renewable energy more cost-competitive.
"That is going to make it such that (coal mine) gas will one day be affordably tapped and generation can come from it. It has a lot of value from that standpoint as far as I'm concerned," he said.

So, any particular reason you like to shoot animals that are just mindin their own business....? Was it stalking your livestock? Stalking your kids? You gonna eat her? Or do you just have some bloodlust for killin creatures? Just curious as to why folks like shootin' 'yotes' so much, and you didn't really address it in your post under "the hunt" forum...
How exactly is a 'yote' supposed to get away when you're hundreds of yards away with a rifle? It's not like you're chasing it down with a spear, or heck even a bow, where it would have some realistic chance of survival... I'm frankly unimpressed when 'men' go out and blast 'yotes' or other 'rodents', without so much as placing themselves in any danger whatsoever (the biggest risk is maybe you'll catch a cold or twist your ankle or nick your gun) and think they've accomplished some feat...
How exactly is this a 'hunt?' May as well been a video game... Long story short: You saw a coyote. Grabbed your rifle. Stepped off your back porch. Shot a few times. Killed it. Congrats....

Dynamo salvage draw with Revs
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Will Bruin scored in the 76th minute to lift the Houston Dynamo to a 1-1 draw with the New England Revolution on Saturday night.
Bruin's goal was his eighth of the season and second in two games, and moved Houston (12-10-8) into fourth place in the Eastern Conference.
Saer Sene gave New England (11-11-8) the lead in the 65th minute, sending a hard shot off the right wing to the far top left corner of the net.
Houston nearly took the lead on Giles Barnes' header in the 23rd, and a shot by Bruin went just left of the post in the 83rd.
New England, 3-1-1 in its last five at home, nearly took the lead in the first half on a curling drive by Chris Tierney after a free kick in the 39th minute, and again in the 89th minute on a bicycle kick from Juan Agudelo.

Animal's What's Good? features are super dope. Simple, quick, and to the point, the recurring interview series is always done with the right dude at the right time. Joe "Butcher" Kowalski has been enjoying Pennsylvania's milder winter and apparently had a great time on a recent trip to The Bakery, pretty much giving the facility a complete co-sign:
"You can move ledges around, you can pretty much make whatever you like. And if you can't set up whatever's there you can build it. It's awesome; I wish I could have a lot more time there. There's so much more I want to do there. I could never be finished there; I don't think anyone would be. It's endless."
It doesn't get more legit than Butcher giving a street focused facility a thumbs up. Hit up the Animal site to check it out.


text: I was thinking about this while reading the day one wrapup on OTA's on the official website. Kubiak now states that Mario will only be staying exclusively on the right side. While I agree with that comment and move, I though back to the sacks that he had last year. Against the Dolphins, Mario was lined up on the left where he collected his first 1.5 sacks. Against the Giants, Mario was once again lined up on the left hand side where he sacked Eli. Now my question is, do you feel Mario should stay exclusively at one side, or should he be able to rotate or stay stronger at left?

Chant as much as you can any mantra you like. Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, etc.

Chant The Guru Gita...killer (Hee Hee :))
You could sit in the sun holding a Quartz Crystal and imagine pure white light bathing you or have a Crystal Healing.You could select a Crystal for each chakra and use those to clear and balance each one.ie Root chakra .You could use Agate, Bloodstone, Garnet, Ruby or Smoky Quartz.
exposure to a loud source of white noise like the sun for a decent period of time. like, lying on the beach for example. helps.

this is because white noise is broad spectrum and stimulates the various chakras more or less equally. blackbody radiation from a heated ob<x>ject might be even more even. a key part of the process is the relaxation, because by relaxing, you allow yourself to become receptive and attune to the vibrations impinging upon you.
I think Brake King can fix those for you, at least they will sell you a gaurantee.
you meditate you close your eyes andin a quiet room cross your legs and let your mind wonder.
You probably should go to see a Reiki Master.
good question

It's a day of considering Pac-12 quarterbacks, so here's "getting to know them" from a variety of angles.
Most likely to become a benevolent world dictator who will save us from all the stupid people: Stanford's Andrew Luck is the best quarterback in the country. He would have been the top overall pick in last spring's NFL draft. He will be the top overall pick in this spring's draft. Further, he's a smart, humble guy with great leadership skills. And his summer beard showed he has a whimsical side! Fathers across the globe: "Hey, Andrew. I'd like you to meet my daughter."
Best Tweeter: Many athletes who tweet are boring. Matt Barkley is not.
Best Tweeter II: Oregon State's Ryan Katz and Barkley might need to have a "tweet off." Does that exist?
Best arm: Lots of Pac-12 quarterbacks can bring it. But if I had to bet who can throw it the farthest and hardest, I'd lay my $1 on Katz.
Thank you, sir, may I have another: Washington State's Jeff Tuel was at his best at the end of the 2010 season, despite getting sacked 51 times. Fifty-one times! Ouch.
Headline madness! No matter who won the starting quarterback job at Washington, a goldmine for headline writers was at hand. Keith Price? Bring on Bob Barker, because the "Price is right (or wrong)" headlines were coming. Nick Montana? How often do you think his sorta-super famous father, Joe, might come up?
Most likely to throw for 4,000 yards: Arizona's Nick Foles has the skills and experience -- plus the deep, talented receiving corps and scheme -- to be among the national leaders in passing yards. The question is whether the O-line, with five new starters, can protect him well enough.
Tallest QB ... in the nation? Seeing over his offensive line shouldn't be a problem for Arizona State's Brock Osweiler. As best as the Sun Devils' sports information department has been able to find out, the 6-foot-8 Osweiler will be the tallest quarterback in the nation this year.
Toughest encore: As a sophomore first-year starter, Darron Thomas: 1) Threw for 30 touchdowns and just 9 interceptions; 2) Earned second-team All-Pac-10 honors behind Luck and ahead of Barkley and Foles; 3) And threw for 363 yards in the national title game. Golly. Just imagine what it means if Thomas is, say, 10 percent better in 2011.
No pressure: If Cal's Zach Maynard is merely average this year -- say he has an efficiency rating of 130 -- the Bears will have a successful season and play in a quality bowl game.
No pressure II: If UCLA's Kevin Prince is merely average this year -- say he has an efficiency rating of 130 -- the Bruins will have a successful season and play in a quality bowl game. And Rick Neuheisel will keep his job.
Pac-12 competition -- California? -- bah! Utah's Jordan Wynn has started one game against a Pac-12 foe. As a true freshman, he completed 26 of 36 passes for 338 yards with three touchdowns in a 37-27 win over California in the 2009 Poinsettia Bowl and won game MVP honors.
Pac-12 competition -- California? -- eek! Colorado's Tyler Hansen has started one game against a Pac-12 foe. Last fall, he completed 18 of 34 for 166 yards with three interceptions in a 52-7 defeat at California. One of his interceptions was returned 41 yards for a touchdown. One of his completions was fumbled and returned 81 yards for another TD.
Separated at birth? Nick Foles and Ronnie "Sunshine" Bass. Brock Osweiler and Frodo Baggins. Tyler Hansen and Captain America. Darron Thomas and Usher. Ryan Katz and Ron Jeremy. Andrew Luck and Josh Grobin. Matt Barkley and William "Cobra Kai" Zabka. Jordan Wynn and Edward Norton. Jeff Tuel and Bill of "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure."
Best name? Best name? Well, quarterbacks ultimately are all about Wynn-ing, right? But it pays to be a cool Katz. That said, what Price is a quaretrback willing to pay to win? Of course, often a Prince becomes a king. But let's not forget how important it is to have all the Tuel-s. It's probably best, however, to be Luck-y and good.

You may have noticed from my photos of London Fashion Week, that I had a number of exciting hair styles. The wonderful team at TONI&GUY created three different looks over the fashion event from their new Fashion Fix releases.
|My very curly hair on Friday morning!
Last London Fashion Week SS13 I had three days of TONI&GUY Fashion Fix hair styles and this time I was going to have their new launched styles.
For my first style I went for the Bardot Beehive, mainly for the classic big hair wow factor! Having big hair is something I have learnt from Mama Bean, she has always taught me that having lifted hair can really flatter a girl.
RETRO AMERICANA The original 'power blowdry' – inspired by the ultimate '50s style icon Jackie O – this bouffant do is bang on trend for Spring/Summer 2013.
Sleek and sassy, this mock undercut style is high fashion with an urban edge. Inspired by Alice Dellal, this faux undercut has the fierceness of a warrior combined with a soft femininity.
Having a Fashion Fix is the perfect pre-party service to take you from desk to the dance floor so you're ready to wow. And to keep your tresses in check, TONI&GUY also gives every Fashion Fix client a complimentary mini label.m styling product used to create the look to make sure that there won't be a hair out of place all night! These mini products are fantastic to pop into your hand bag or to take with you on the go.
So there are my TONI&GUY fashion fix styles for London Fashion Week. Unlike your average blow dry bar, these hair styles keep you fashionable, very much on trend and a trained hairdresser working on your locks.

Golf is a sport anyone can play, so long as you can stroll across a field, have someone else carry your stuff, and sit by a pond every so often. Play at your own pace with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $45 for one 60-minute private golf lesson with video analysis (a $65 value)
- $99 for three 60-minute private golf lessons with video analysis (a $185 value)
- $99 for six 60-minute group golf clinics (a $149 value)<p>
During one-on-one private lessons, coach Marc uses video analysis to dissect your swing fundamentals. Group clinics cover all aspects of the game, including driving, putting, and chipping.
Florida Golf Coach
In golf, it's important to choose the right club for each shot. It's equally important to choose the right educational approach for each student. Coach Marc intuitively understands this, which is why he helps golfers improve their swings with everything from one-on-one instruction to group clinics and on-course playing lessons.
Over the years, Marc has shared his wisdom with more than 1,000 students. Take a look at his playing résumé, and you'll see that he's uniquely qualified to do so. At age 16, when most kids are busy goofing off, he set a course record at the challenging Chi Chi Rodriguez Golf Course in Palm Harbor. He's also a two-time PGA Tour qualifier with three holes-in-one to his name. Today, Marc stays sharp by schooling new golfers at locations across Florida. To help him analyze what even his keen eye can't catch, he uses modern technology such as video analysis and balls that explode when you don't hit them correctly.

No one covers the Tigers like PowerMizzou.com. To follow the Tigers year-round, sign up today to start your Free Seven-Day Trial.
DeMarre Carroll remembers the conversation with his uncle. Shortly after making the decision to transfer from Vanderbilt to Missouri, Carroll sat in Mike Anderson's office.
"When I first got here, we both sat down and talked, me and my uncle," Carroll said. "He already said there were going to be some rough times. But by the time you leave here, you're going to be a proud man."
No one is calling Anderson a prophet. But in this season which has seen Missouri rise to 24-and-4 and a national ranking as high as No. 8, some are saying he's done the best coaching job in the country. But to simply leave it at that does a disservice to the long-time fans of Missouri basketball. The perpetrators of this run—the Tiger players—don't know. They admit they don't know.
"I never knew about Missouri," said first-year Tiger Keith Ramsey. "I didn't know what conference they were in."
"I kind of was able to be around long enough to pick up some of the history of the program," said Zaire Taylor, in his second season after transferring from Delaware.
"When I first got here," Carroll admits, "I didn't know nothing."
Quin Snyder? Ricky Clemmons? NCAA probation? Jail-house phone conversations? It's all a part of the recent history of Missouri basketball. The players may not know the sordid details, but the fans do. Generations of proud Tiger loyalists who had puffed out their chests after four consecutive Big Eight titles in the early eighties, after an unbeaten conference season and a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament in 1994, after four tournament bids and an Elite Eight run in Snyder's first four years, didn't just die a little in the five years before this one. They died a lot. They did the unthinkable—they nearly lost their allegiance to the program they had so loved.
"I used to follow them on TV. My heart was with them the whole time during the recruiting process," freshman forward Laurence Bowers said. "To see the arena with that many people in there, there wasn't nobody there last year."
"I get a feeling of it. Seeing how many people were at the football games in the fall and then seeing how little people were at our games at the beginning of the year," said fellow freshman Kim English. "And now to just walk around campus, how excited people are and just loving it. Me, I score like two points, and people are like, 'Great game, man. You guys are doing great.'"
With the sarcasm dripping off his tongue, English smiles: "I'm like, 'Thanks.'"
These Tigers have brought the passion back to Missouri basketball. And because of all those things that happened since Missouri last played in the Big Dance, this season means even a little bit more.
"It makes it special just because Missouri basketball has kind of been down, had some down years," said freshman Marcus Denmon, a Kansas City native. "When I first wanted to come here, I kind of had that vision that this could be that marquee season where Missouri basketball could be turned around."
"At first, I was like, 'Wow, man, is this what I got myself into?'" Carroll admits. "And now I look at it like it was a blessing in disguise. Coach says it's good that all this happened and I think it happened for the best."
The Tigers are happy for themselves. They are pleased with the season. But they don't really get a sense of how special it has been, how much it has meant, until they leave the confines of Mizzou Arena.
"Last year when we was getting in all that trouble, it was kind of down then," Carroll said. "Now I can't go nowhere without someone recognizing me, signing autographs, saying 'What's up?' It's good when you can go somewhere and people will recognize and notice you and always give you congratulations on the kind of season you're having."
"I think what we're doing is special for the community, for our coach because he finally got his players here, and just for us here to have a great season for these seniors," Bowers adds. "They're giving it all to experience this season and all of us, the freshmen and the underclassmen, we're doing it for the seniors and our coach."
More than that, they're doing it for a state. They're doing it for the thousands of fans who have stayed home the last five years.
"We're doing it for them," English said. "We play to win the games, but I'm doing it for the fans."
On Sunday, Missouri plays its 29th game of the season. The Tigers travel to Kansas with first place in the Big 12 on the line. The fans are back. They are energized. They are happy with this season and the direction of the program. But the Tiger players cannot adopt that mindset.
"This is a special season. I feel like the team is at a point where we could possibly make history," Taylor says, before launching a warning. "You've got to take it one game at a time. With that being said, this can be a special season and I hope this is just the beginning."
"We keep winning," Carroll said. "All my dreams will come true."
Along with those of an entire fan base.

Smith College Names New Sports Information Director
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. – Smith College recently appointed former Northwood University sports information director and Vermont native Abe Osheyack sports information director.
Osheyack will be the Department of Athletics and Recreation's primary liaison to the media, promoting news about the college's 14 varsity teams and eight club sports as well as the Department of Exercise and Sport Studies. He begins Aug. 2.
"I have great confidence that Abe will bring attention to the accomplishments of the student-athletes both on and off the field, in print, on air and online," said Lynn Oberbillig, director of the Department of Athletics and Recreation. "His passion for sport and ability to meet challenges are evident."
Among Osheyack's immediate responsibilities will be to oversee the redesign of the Department of Athletics and Recreation Web site and promote the dedication of the college's new artificial turf field. Funded to a large extent by donations, the $1.3 million turf field is now under construction and expected to be completed by the beginning of the fall field hockey season.
After earning a bachelor's degree in journalism from Keene State College, Osheyack served for a year as athletics communications intern at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University before joining Northwood University in West Palm Beach, Fla.
At Northwood, he wrote, edited and published media guides, wrote game stories, compiled statistics, helped redesign and launch a new athletics Web site, and coordinated interviews between the media and athletics staff that led to coverage in the New York Times, Palm Beach Post, Sporting News Radio and ESPN.
Osheyack is taking over for Carole Grills, who retired earlier this year. In his capacity as a nine-month employee, he will begin the year on Aug. 15 and end May 15.
"I am impressed by the vision that Lynn Oberbillig has for the athletic department, and I am both humbled and honored to be a part of it," said Osheyack. "I look forward to working with some of the finest coaches, student-athletes and administrators in New England and cannot wait to get started."
Smith was the first women's college to join the National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) and competes in Division III. The college was also a founding member of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC).
One of the largest women's colleges in the United States, Smith enrolls 2,800 students from nearly every state and 62 other countries.

Floyd is getting more because of the way his deal is structured. same way ODH made a ****load when he fought floyd. the difference in earnings is based on that. manny and floyd are not equal in this respect.
if you and i buy a car and I put up 750 k out of my pocket and you put up 750k from the bank, when we sell the car, you get less because you owe the bank and also any interest and whatever they charged you for the 750k loan.
SO Manny has 2 choices:
$40 mil out of potentially $150 where his promoter has little to no control
$28 mil where he gets the bulk of ppv revenue and his promoter has total control
DO you have any idea why he is choosing the latter?
I think youre missing his point Dunn,
Shade's basically agreeing with what Floyd did by leaving top rank when Bob didn't want to pay him enough to fight Margarito. He's trying to tell you that he understands that when a fighter feels he is worth more he will not agree to taking less. He's just highlighting that Floyd left Bob who wouldnt let him fight Hoya, Cotto, Hatton let alone Margarito for the amount that Floyd wanted.
It's all in how you look at it. Do we all think pac should have left Bob so he could get paid more? Of course we do. Why is Pac consistently hiding behind Bob is the REAL question?
Everyone is so concerned about Pac's FAIR share yet completely ignore that this dumbass just resigned his contract with Bob. He didn't have to. He could have went solo and made 100% of whatever him and Floyd agreed to without anyone else's hands in the mix.
But hey, lets keep it simple shall we? Pac is smart and Floyd is scared!

NATALEE HOLLOWAY prime suspect JORAN VAN DER SLOOT is nailed in new book by top cop who lists the harrowing facts behind his smarmy web of deceit!
AS Van der Sloot awaits his fate in Lima's run-down Castro Castro prison, Peruvian homicide detective Captain Juan Callan has listed 21 – count 'em — reasons he believes the Dutchman killed and robbed Stephany Flores.
In investigative book, Portrait of a Monster: Joran Van der Sloot, a Murder in Peru, and the Natalee Holloway Mystery, obtained by RadarOnline.com, nearly 400 pages of Callan's master file on Joran are exhibited,
Det. Callan, a member of the Peruvian National Police Force for two decades, not only worked the Flores investigation but interrogated Joran.
According to Callan's file, he says the grim murder was "committed with premeditation, violence, ferocity and cruelty, using physical force to cause her death."
Van der Sloot admitted in the presence of a public ministry representative, his defense lawyer, and translator of having robbed Flores of money, her national ID, credit cards, bank card, and her Jeep.
When Flores resisted, Van der Sloot physically assaulted her, before asphyxiating her.

Current orchestration is too focused on moving around virtual machines (aka workloads)... We're entering an age when all of these ingredients will be delivered as elastic services that will be managed by the applications themselves. The concept of self management is an extension of DevOps principles that fuse application function and deployment. There are missing pieces, but I'm seeing the innovation moving to fill those gaps. -- Rob Hirschfeld
Hirschfeld's observations are much like the ones I've heard at conferences like CloudConnect. Application architecture is the key to the advancement of cloud computing, and the innovators are going to win big. If you want to get an idea of what the future of cloud applications looks like, you should check out the emerging network and storage services, says Hirschfeld. Don't look to orchestration.

FOND childhood memories are key to anyone's development and wellbeing and happy recollections of their early years are exactly what volunteers have set out to offer youngsters in need in Swindon.
The Memory Makers project has now launched and is aimed at helping children with difficult family backgrounds.
As part of the pilot run by youth charity Swindon Mentoring And Self Help, three children between the ages of 10 and 12 have been paired with a volunteer 'memory maker'.
Together they go on a fun outing for a couple of hours each week and enjoy a simple but meaningful activity like going to the park, or a shopping centre – something the child would not normally have the opportunity to do.
The initiative is the brainchild of Lyn Hartman at SMASH, an organisation which provides youth mentoring for teenagers experiencing difficulties and hoping to change their lives.
"For whatever reason these children's lives are full of traumatic or bad memories and we want to try and protect them and balance the bad memories out with lots of good ones," said Lyn.
"Memories are like jewels. When you are having a bad day happy memories make you feel better about yourself.
"This is about children having a chance to go out with a trusted and safe adult once a week and getting their undivided attention.
"The children are referred to us by schools maybe because of a parental illness, a relative has a disability, there has been a bereavement, or there are problems in the family, and there just isn't anybody there to give them that attention."
She added: "Once we have got this up and running in Swindon and we feel confident we want to spread it around the country. We really want other charities to run a Memory Makers programme."
'We are the best of friends'
The one-on-one attention and bonding experience has proved extremely valuable both for child and memory maker.
Lucy, 23, was recently matched with 11-year-old Michelle. So far the pair have met three times and already Michelle has found a confidante and friend in her memory maker.
"It's added something to my life," said Michelle."My parents are busy with my sister so I look forward to seeing Lucy every week – I just can't wait. She is a friend. We do things that I don't have the money to do."
Lucy added: "I'm trying to help Michelle and give her experiences she might not be able to get herself. She is such a lovely girl. When I tell her where we are going, or what we are going to be doing her face lights up, she is so excited.
"I think it's so important to give children happy memories. Michelle will be starting secondary school next year. This is a scary time for children and this could determine whether she goes one way or the other."

|The arete route has been around for a while. Cactus Pad, 11a. Ok climbing but a lot of hollow plates and loose/brittle flakes. Bolts are a bit far apart, given the probability of a hold breaking.

|The bottom crux felt at least V1/V1+ which puts the grade closer to 5.11 than 5.10 for me. Only saying that for climbers with a 5.10- limit, this is not a warmup, and you should consider a stick-clip for the 2nd bolt if you aren't comfortable on 5.11- routes. The whole thing felt like 11a/b to me, but I think it's mostly because my crack-climbing skills are pretty poor, but definitely beware the bottom crux for safety's sake.

Many institutions use online application systems. In some cases, the system will ask for your letter writer's contact information so they can email a confidential link to upload a letter to the website. If this is a requirement, you can input an Interfolio-generated email address ("document email address") in place of your letter writer's email. This will allow Interfolio to upload the letter directly to the application without bothering your letter writer. We refer to these as "Online Application Deliveries." This article will show you how to upload letters to an online application system.
Remember, that in order to upload a letter to an online application system, you must first have the letter in your Dossier account. See here for more information on requesting a letter of recommendation through Interfolio.
For medical and dental school applicants: if you're applying to AACOMAS or AADSAS, then this article will explain how to upload letters to the online application systems you will use. If you're applying to AMCAS or TMDSAS, then delivery instructions can be found here:
Using Interfolio to Deliver Letters of Recommendation to AMCAS
Using Interfolio to Deliver Letters of Recommendation to TMDSAS
1. Request a letter from your letter writer
If you have not already requested a letter through Interfolio, you will need to follow the directions here on how to Request Letters of Recommendation Using Your Interfolio Account.
2. Check you Dossier to make sure the letter has already been uploaded to your account
Letters that have not been received cannot be used in an online application delivery because they won't have a document email address yet.
If you need to request a new recommendation click the "Request Recommendation" button and follow the prompts
When your recommendation comes in it will appear in your Dossier and you can continue with the instructions below.
See here if you need detailed instructions on how to request letters of recommendation through your Interfolio account.
4. Copy the "Document Email" address
The "Document Email" address will appear toward the bottom of the window, you may need to scroll down to find it.
5. In your online application, paste the document email address in place of your recommender's email to direct the letter request to Interfolio, rather than your letter writer
Note: If your application asks for supplemental information in additional to your recommendation (i.e. ratings, rankings, or additional commentary), Interfolio will attempt to skip these fields or select "n/a" to opt-out of these questions. Interfolio cannot complete any rankings or custom fields on behalf of your letter writers unless an "n/a" option is provided. If no "n/a" option is provided, Interfolio will cancel your delivery and credit your account for the cost of the delivery.
6. When Interfolio is contacted by the institution, we will create a new delivery for each letter requested by the application
These deliveries will appear listed as "Deliveries Awaiting Payment" on the "Mail, Email & External Applications" tab of your deliveries page.
7. You'll receive an email from Interfolio to alert you of your new delivery requests
8. Navigate to "Applications" to pay for and complete your online application delivery
9. Click "Edit" to review or change your deliveries -or- select the deliveries you want to "Checkout"
11. Pay for your delivery
It takes 1-3 business days for us to upload your documents to the online application system after you check out. If you're worried about missing your application deadline, email us at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 877-997-8807 to let us know and we can try to expedite your delivery upload.
Note: Some applications require additional information (performance ratings, rankings, etc.) that we cannot provide on behalf of your writer. We will cancel your deliveries and contact you if we encounter any application questions that we cannot answer or bypass.
Why hasn't my online application delivery been created yet?
Occasionally, online application requests from third party application systems do not reach Interfolio. This can happen for a few reasons:
- The application hasn't processed your letter writer data yet, and therefore hasn't sent us a request yet
- The document email address was entered incorrectly
- A special character (like an accent) is preventing us from processing the email request correctly
- An error occurred within the third-party application
What you should do:
- Contact us immediately at firstname.lastname@example.com to let us know. We may be able to match an orphan request received by our server to your account
- If we can't match your request with your account, we will ask you to try to re-request the letter on the application system
- If you can't re-request a letter, Interfolio will need to contact the receiving institution to figure out the best way to resolve the situation
Note: Please monitor your pending deliveries closely and let us know if you're expecting a delivery that hasn't come in yet.

Friggin' sunburn. Hurts like a son of a bitch. At least I slept OK. Nancy would prefer that there be more beach time but there is no way I can cut it in the sun any more. With my luck I'd get seriously sunburned, admitted to the hospital, and my wife would seduce Dudley Moore while Ravel's Bolero plays in the background. Luckily she says if I can find something to do that doesn't involve the sun then we can do that. I'm sure she was betting that I couldn't find anything like that in Hawaii. I searched the guide book (not Maui Revealed) and find a lavender farm that serves tea and scones way up in the maui upcountry. Not really my cup of tea (rim-shot) but my sunburn hurts so bad I would rather choose tea and crumpets. You know I must have been in pain.
We decide that we are going to go ahead and book the bike tour down the crater and while we are there we ask about the zip runs. Our concierge Lorrie sets it all up and also gives us the scoop on the lavender farm. The bike trip and zip lines are pricey but you only go to Maui one time. At least that's the premise I'm working under.
We head into Lahaina looking for breakfast and stumble across a place on Dickenson street, a side street off the main tourist drag. Nancy has some eggs benedict that she claims are awesome. I have a surfers special that consists of scrambled eggs, Portuguese sausage, and veggies wrapped in a tortilla and covered in enchilada sauce. Quite tasty even if I had to pick out the couple sprigs of broccoli. We go check out the Banyan tree in the daytime and it appears they are having an art fair. We walk over and check out one aisle then wind up walking around the back side of the banyan tree and courthouse. As we are walking past the charter boats a shirtless fellow on a bike with a British accent inquires about my shirt. (I'm wearing the Bulldog Pub shirt my friend Nancy bought me in Amsterdam). Apparently this chap on the bike is familiar with it. He's the first one to inquire about it and actually know what it is. One lady asked me if it was the Yale Bulldogs. Seriously. Do I look Ivy League to you? For some really bizarre reason I answer shirtless bike guy with a British accent and he asks if I'm from England. Apparently my fake British accent is enough to fool an expatriate. I have no idea why I did it either. I quickly backtracked to my native redneck and we find out his name is Mickey. We talk a little about Amsterdam, England, and other travel spots. Mickey is basically a rambler who has traveled the world and done nothing; working odd jobs on a work visa (or probably otherwise) and moving on. I was totally jealous. He was quite a nice fellow and he allowed us to take his picture.
We head back over to the art show where I find myself an 'ancient' fish hook necklace and I pick up a sharks tooth necklace for Robert. Mine is supposed to bring good luck to fisherman. Robert's, I suppose, only brought bad luck for the shark. Nancy winds up buying a jade necklace with a tiny jellyfish in it. Not a real one you PETA freaks.
We hop into the car, program the GPS, and head towards the lavender farm. Good thing I brought my GPS. I would have never found the place without it. The piece of crap Pontiac G6 barely makes it up the hill. Somehow we make it and we are overcome with the smell of lavender. The grounds are beautiful and even I have to admit the tea and scones were pretty tasty. We took a lot of pictures and I walked out with some lavender sunburn lotion. It smells like lavender.
We decide that as long as we are out this way we should take a drive down to Tedeschi winery. Everyone says we should. The road is curvy and windy and I'm guessing this is a prelude for the road to Hana tomorrow. Once we arrive we are somewhat disappointed. The grounds are nice, but very small. We don't even bother with the wine tasting. I mean really. Who wants to drink pineapple wine? That's something you drink when you are an alkie and don't have any lemon extract on hand. I encourage you to pass on the winery. Stop if you are going to defy the car rental companies and go around the southern way to the other side of the island. Why not? Your driving past it anyway. Otherwise, skip it.
We head back to the resort and get back around 4:00. This gives Nancy some beach time while I reapply the aloe on my medium rare gut. While she's chilling on the beach I sneak down to Whalers Village for some t-shirts and red coral baubles that Nancy had her eye on yesterday. I get a necklace and some earrings for a very reasonable price. She liked them.
We head over to the Westin where we eat at a place called Ono. The wait staff was a little surly but not overly so. We opt for the tapas; calamari and chopped sashimi ahi with ginger and red onion. Nancy gets prawns in chili tomato oil and sea scallops with garlic mashed potatoes. The food is outstanding athe the presentation is first class. After dinner we take a stroll down the beach and then back up to the resort. The breeze was pleasant and despite all the people, quite contemplative.

CORNER BROOK Anthony Locke would rather watch the Royals play in Deer Lake than spend a cold winter without any senior hockey.
The 22-year-old Corner Brook native has had a holding seat at the Pepsi Centre ever since he became a big fan of the franchise about eight years ago.
"You got to take the positive with it," Locke said. "Unfortunately, for an area with this population, you still couldn't get the fans out and make your money. It's still a business, and losing money ... you're not going to be able to stay here."
Locke has followed the team faithfully the past few years while the team struggled to put bums in the seats. He said the City of Corner Brook doesn't recognize the value of having a senior hockey team in the community, despite its annual subsidy of $800,000.
"City hall certainly didn't do anything to help them out, which is a big hindrance, when all the smaller locations their teams are supported by their town," he said.
Having senior hockey in Deer Lake is something Locke feels will work because he believes there is a solid fan base that enjoys the brand of hockey fans have witnessed in the provincial league since its rebirth.
"You'll get your 400 or 500 fans coming up from Corner Brook plus the fans from Deer Lake that were coming out and a few more," he said. "It will be a good team. It's still the Royals when it comes down to it, but Deer Lake is a hockey town. They will embrace it and I think it will go well."
Deer Lake hasn't had senior hockey for a couple of years, so some of the diehard followers of the former Deer Lake Red Wings are anxious to have a team playing out of the Hodder again.
Ted Cross, an avid senior hockey supporter in Deer Lake who sold a 50-50 ticket or two for the Red Wings back in the day, believes the news is great for the Deer Lake area.
Hockey town
"We're a hockey town and we've shown it over the years, and I'm really expecting to see a big turnout this year for this hockey," Cross, who is 64, said Thursday. "I think the Royals needed it, according to what I read in the newspaper. It's too expensive to operate in Corner Brook, which is sad."
Cross plans on being a big supporter of the team and will probably find his way back to selling a few 50-50 tickets if it means keeping the team alive and well.
"I always help out. I love hockey," he said.
Fred Rice is a former president of the Deer Lake Red Wings and among those who are happy to have a team playing out of the Hodder again.
Rice is familiar with the void left in the town when the Red Wings folded so he hopes the latest chapter means senior hockey is back for good.
"It's a good thing and I think they will get the support of the town," he said.
Rice is hoping the team makes all the right moves to make the team stable. One of the ways he feels that can be accomplished is through building a strong relationship with the corporate sponsors who come on board for this year.
"To get the support of the businesses around they're going to have to cater to them in some way because they've been used to being catered to when it comes to tickets and stuff, so hopefully they'll see and do that because we always looked after our corporate sponsors," he said.
He is confident the team will be well received in the community, but it may take a few games or so for fans to embrace it all.
"It's going to take some getting used to with it being the Royals because of the rivalry that was, but where we have several (local) players playing with them it makes a whole lot of difference."
