It's that time of year, the one where questions are raised and -- if enough are answered well -- coaches can sleep well between the end of spring practice and the start of fall drills.
(Never mind that the spring work gets under way in what is technically still winter, and that fall camp actually is held in the summer.)
It all starts for the UL football team with its first on-field session of the spring on Monday, and will culminate with its annual Spring Game on April 20 at Cajun Field.

Your Bridge to

Translation from
German to English:
Genealogy, History,
Old Handwriting
Selecting a translator for your German documents may seem daunting, with so many choices out there. Of course you want one who fully understands German and writes well in English, but ideally you also want one who specializes in exactly what you need. If your documents are handwritten, you need someone who can read them readily and accurately. Texts from past centuries often require someone familiar with antiquated language and style and alert to changes in meaning that occur over time.
If these are your concerns, you have landed in the right place. I have been translating professionally for more than three decades, first as a generalist but gradually narrowing my focus to the fields I know best. I now accept work only in history, genealogy, and a few other areas of personal interest.
Explore the site, enjoy the pictures, cross the bridge. Welcome!

G4563, Reviewed October 1993
Grasshoppers are relatively large insects, capable of doing considerable damage to many crops. In early summer, grasshoppers normally feed on grasses and weeds in non-crop areas, and later in the season, they move into fields. Grasshopper populations in Missouri are sporadic. In general, damage to crops is most severe in dry years.
Grasshoppers are brown, green or gray insects that may be as long as 1-3/4 inches. They have large hind legs for jumping and prominent heads with large eyes. Adult grasshoppers have two pairs of wings. The front pair is characteristically narrow and leathery, whereas the hind wings are thinner and more triangular. Although more than 100 species of grasshoppers occur in Missouri, four species are responsible for most crop damage. The large differential grasshopper and the redlegged grasshopper appear to be the most common pests, while the two-striped and migratory grasshoppers also occasionally cause problems.
Grasshoppers usually lay eggs in uncultivated soil in areas such as ditch banks, field margins and roadsides, as well as pastures, alfalfa and clover fields. Two-striped and differential grasshoppers lay their eggs near the roots of bunch grasses or alfalfa crowns covered with debris. These sites are usually along field edges or roadsides. Some species lay their eggs in specific bed areas.
Most kinds of grasshoppers lay eggs during late summer or early fall in pods of 20 to 100 eggs. One female grasshopper may deposit 8 to 25 egg pods. Generally, the eggs pass the winter, but in some instances, eggs may hatch and the emerging nymphs overwinter. Eggs hatch from May to June and, as the food source becomes scarce, the nymphs move to nearby fields. In drought-stressed fields, border vegetation is less abundant or dried out, causing nymphs to move quickly and in higher numbers into crops. Once in the field, grasshoppers may do serious damage to the forage crop or pasture. In Missouri, there is usually one generation per year, except for the migratory grasshopper, which has two.
Young nymphs are quite susceptible to weather and natural enemies. Cool, wet conditions during egg hatch reduce grasshopper numbers.
Typically, grasshopper damage consists of large, irregular holes extending from the margin to the center of the leaf. The growing tips of alfalfa and other plants may also be injured. Grasshoppers are capable of doing considerable damage in a very short time.
The biological control agent, Nosema locustae, is a naturally occurring microsporidian protozoan that is now being placed on various baits and marketed for grasshopper control under such names as NOLO Bait, Grasshopper Attack, Hopper Stopper and others. Although a promising biological, Nosema does not generally produce rapid control of grasshoppers, but rather is a slower, long-term method of grasshopper and cricket control. A major limitation of this control method is that grasshoppers must eat the Nosema-treated bait as second or third instar hoppers. This requires both early season scouting and treatment of grasshopper populations in border areas of the field.
The key to effective control of grasshoppers is early detection of the problem. Grasshopper nymphs are easier to kill, partly because of their small size and also because they are usually confined to the hatching area. Do not mow grass along field margins where high populations are found until grasshoppers are controlled. Mowing these feeding sites causes grasshoppers to move into adjacent crops.
In general, control is justified if 3 to 7 or more grasshoppers per square yard are present in alfalfa and clover fields or if 11 to 20 or more grasshoppers per square yard are present in pasture, range or non-crop lands. Keep in mind that the time of day, temperature and vegetation can influence the grasshopper's activity and can affect the number you find.
Table 1 lists insecticides for controlling early season infestations of grasshopper nymphs when confined to non-crop land areas.
Table 1
Grasshopper control in non-cropland areas
Table 2 lists insecticides available for grasshopper control in alfalfa and clovers, and Table 3 lists insecticides for use on pastures or range grasses. Because of the short residual activity of insecticides registered for use on alfalfa and clovers, don't expect more than temporary control of the present infestation. Reinfestation could occur in 10 to 14 days, at which time a second application may be required.
Table 2
Grasshopper control in alfalfa and clover
Table 3
Grasshopper control in pasture and range grasses
For effective control of any insect pest, calibrate the sprayer to apply sufficient gallonage at a speed that will give good coverage. Gallonage varies with the height and density of the foliage. Most situations require at least 12 gallons of spray per acre for effective coverage.
Don't spray when wind velocities exceed 10 to 12 miles per hour and avoid drift into nearby gardens and fields. For best control, especially with malathion, apply only when temperatures are 60 degrees Fahrenheit or above and are expected to remain this warm for one or two days after application.
Always handle insecticides with caution, regardless of whether or not they are restricted-use compounds. Read, understand and follow the directions on the label concerning use and safety measures. Wear the protective clothing and devices suggested on the label.
Avoid breathing vapors or dust, and direct contact with skin. If the insecticide concentrate contacts or contaminates the skin, immediately wash the affected area with soap and plenty of water, then change and discard clothing.
Store insecticides in their original container with legible labels securely attached. The storage area should be dry and locked at all times when not actually in use. To prevent contamination of surrounding crops, water or wildlife habitat, promptly and properly dispose of empty containers as directed on the label.

There are many ways to sum up a 12-2 season that ends with a trip to the state semifinals. Here are 10 numbers that do the trick for the 2012 Bluffton High football team.
3,080: Passing yards for quarterback C.J. Frazier. The senior looked every bit the three-year starter he was, tossing 38 touchdown passes to seven interceptions. The numbers weren't quite as gaudy as in his record-breaking junior season, but he did against tougher competition in 2012.
70: Percent of Frazier's passing yardage that went to fellow seniors Marquis Webber and Demetrius Smalls. The duo accounted for more than 2,000 yards and 26 scores. Webber will graduate as the school's career leader in all receiving categories.
61: Extra points made by placekicker Mallie Sprouse, another senior. Sprouse hit 4 of 5 field goals with a long of 44 yards. He also helped Bluffton win the battle for field position, averaging more than 38.4 yards as a punter and regularly booting kickoffs for touchbacks.
44: Points per game for Bluffton's double-wing pistol offense. The Bobcats scored 50 or more in six of their 14 games. They never scored fewer than 22 all season, with Frazier spreading the ball to a variety of receivers and speedy backs running behind a seasoned offensive line.
12: Defensive touchdowns scored by the Bobcats' opportunistic defense. Bluffton scored in almost every way imaginable, but had a particular knack for jarring the ball loose and returning fumbles for scores.
9: Playoff victories the last three seasons. Bluffton reached its third consecutive state semifinal, where it lost at perennial power Northwestern. That followed up a second-place finish in 2011 and a Lower State championship appearance in 2010.
5: Consecutive victories over archrival Hilton Head Island. Bluffton won the Bridge Bowl trophy for the fifth time in three seasons, routing the Seahawks 80-14 in a non-region game. The Bobcats have taken control of the series since losing the first four meetings between the schools.
3: Major-college offers for Shameik Blackshear. The sophomore defensive end is emerging as one of the top prospects in South Carolina. Clemson offered him a scholarship early last week, following the lead of South Carolina and North Carolina.
2: North-South All-Star Game participants. Frazier and Webber were selected to represent Bluffton at the annual event Saturday in Myrtle Beach. The pair, both of whom have offers from Newberry, gets another chance to impress college scouts.
1: Major goal left for the Bluffton program to accomplish. The Bobcats have come a long way in Ken Cribb's three seasons as a head coach. He said the expectations will not diminish in the off-season. They have won region titles and a Lower State title. There still is room in the case for a state championship trophy.

This time of year seems to be when we are solicited by many groups for donations to help Veterans. My phone doesn't stop ringing with people trying to find out if such and such group is on the up and up. My regular advice is to donate to only those organizations that you know are legit! I recommend the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). Those folks are the real deal. A lot of others unfortunately, are in it to cash in on your generosity.
The organization you're eyeing should be upfront about how donated money is spent. Find out what percentage of your dollar goes towards the actual charitable services it provides, vs. the amount spent on costs like administration or fundraising. For-profit fundraisers who call on behalf of charities may keep anywhere from 25 to 95 cents of every dollar they collect!
You may get phone calls or see them soliciting in front of supermarkets and other large stores; they may be dressed up in military type (camouflage) pants and jackets. Chances are that it's all a scam designed to get you to donate to their cause. DON"T WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!
Some of the groups are legal, meaning that they are registered and are protected by our State laws; however they are not legally responsible to give any specific amount to Veterans!!! That's why I recommend that you donate to the American Legion, Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and the VFW. Posted on 11/15/2011

NEW YORK (AP) — Legendary composer John Kander is standing in a hallway at the Vineyard Theatre when he spots an unusual opportunity.
"I've never been to the ladies' room here," he says, conspiratorially. "Do you suppose now is the time?"
It's daytime. There's no one around. The bathroom is empty. Who's going to deny the man who helped create "Cabaret," ''Chicago" and "Kiss of the Spider Woman"?
"I just want to see it," he says, pushing the door and going in.
Then, to everyone's shock, a lady comes out.
Kander emerges, sheepishly, behind her. Embarrassed, yes, but he's crossed something off his to-do list.
"You think she'll be scarred?" he says, laughing.
Kander may be 86, but he sure doesn't act it. There's a youthful vitality that crackles about him. How many Tony-winning octogenarians are boyish enough to want to take a sneak peek inside the ladies' room?
Part of that is due to a creative wave flowing through Kander, sparked by his new collaboration with rising playwright and novelist Greg Pierce, who is some 50 years his junior.
"We just like to write," says Kander, sitting beside his new partner. "At one point, because I'm doing other stuff and he's writing plays, we made a pact. I think the phrase was, 'Let's always be writing something.'"
"That works for me," says Pierce with a smile.
Kander was Fred Ebb's collaborator for four decades and the two transformed American theater with dark, bleak stories that had a socially conscious edge. Ebb died in 2004 and their last work together was "The Scottsboro Boys," based on the real story of nine black teens wrongly convicted in the 1930s in the rape of two white girls. All but the youngest were sentenced to death.
Kander has been friends with Pierce, 35, for a decade, and he watched the younger man grow as a short story writer and playwright. His play "Slowgirl" was produced at Lincoln Center and his "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle" premiered at the Edinburgh International Festival.
He reached out to Pierce after conceiving "a piece that was so tiny you could do it in your living room and would tell a story with four actors and four instruments." Kander says Pierce, "who is the best storyteller I know," was the first person he called.
Pierce, who was about to turn 30 and had never written a musical, recalls getting that call — and freaking out. "I was so excited and I also thought, 'Am I actually going to be able to focus and write because this is so exciting?'"
Kander and Pierce have not one, not two, but three musicals in the works, the first being "The Landing," which makes its world premiere off-Broadway at the Vineyard Theatre this month.
The new work is three thematically linked minimusicals — "Andra," ''The Brick" and "The Landing." It will be directed by Walter Bobbie and have a cast of four, including Pierce's uncle, David Hyde Pierce. The younger Pierce, who wrote the story and lyrics, says working with Kander was easy.
"The second we got into the room and started talking about 'Andra,' the resumes disappeared completely," says Pierce. "I never felt intimidated. It's also because of who John is — how incredibly generous and wonderful he is — that I never felt intimidated and always felt free to speak up, too."
Their collaboration has also created "Kid Victory," a musical for four women and five men, and a third work they are tight-lipped about. Kander says partnering with a new lyricist and writer has energized him.
"It's the same but different. The spontaneous quality of working very closely with a collaborator is what I had for 40 years but what we're doing — and his sensibility — is so different from Fred's that I'm writing differently myself," he says. "That's like a present somebody gave me."
Technology has changed since Kander and Ebb were writing, and Kander and Pierce rely on their iPhones to record snippets and text each other if they're not nearby. "You can just do it and a second later he's got it. It seems like cheating," says Kander, laughing.
They've developed their own musical style, one that mixes full-length songs and ones that are just four lines long. They start with a character and then build a story, letting the music take them wherever it wants to.
"He's really a brilliant lyricist, in a very different way than Freddy was," says Kander, turning to his companion with a smile. "I hope I live long enough so that people say, 'That's a real Kander and Pierce song.'"

Global Fund's Chief 'Cautiously Optimistic' on Donations
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria didn't meet its goal last week of raising $15 billion to support disease programs over the next three years. But that isn't stopping the Geneva-based organization's executive director, Mark Dybul, from being "cautiously optimistic" that it will.
His reasons: donations to the fund are increasing even though the economic environment is still very tough globally. And some of the beneficiaries of the fund's largesse – many African countries – are opening their wallets now too.
At a big "replenishment" meeting in Washington, D.C., Dec. 2 and 3, the Global Fund, which raises and distributes funds for disease-fighting programs, collected pledges totaling just over $12 billion. They came from 25 countries, the European Commission, private foundations, corporations and others.

I by no means claim to be an expert, but here is my 2 cents on the semi-recent admission that Dark Souls 2 will be marketed as a AAA title, and why that probably spells bad news for the franchise.
I think DaS2 will be great (we've already seen live gameplay, after all). What I hope is that the game tightens some screws and fixes some issues that have been in both DeS and DaS (things like the abuse of backstabs or spamming certain spells). The single-player is great. It's the online play that needs to be tweaked, and I think they'll do a fine job.
prepare to cry or buy? i say both, i will buy it and cry when i get punish and be happy when i platinum it the same way i got my plat on demons souls and dark souls. hopefully the game improved a lot from its predecessors. im also hoping that the new game that was announced by fromsoftware is a true successor to the demons souls franchise.
I expect Dark Souls 2 to be even more dumbed down in difficulty just like Dark Souls was from Demon Souls.
Dark Souls is probably the most overrated game when it comes to being 'hard'. It really wasen't, especially the last half of the game.
I don't expect Dark Souls 2 to be either, since they want to reach a wider audience
By the time I finish dark souls and demons souls , dark souls 2 will be free on ps+

Linux. A Computer Piggybank!
Families, community centers, school systems, church organizations, and other groups can save hundreds, and even thousands, of dollars by simply switching to Linux and ditching Windows.
When you install Linux you get a safe, secure, and stable operating system. Linux gives you a familiar and friendly user interface, thousands of free open source software programs, and a friendly community to help you along.
Once you get rid of Windows, you get rid of Microsoft licensing costs, additional software costs, and anti-virus subscription costs (Linux is immune to Windows viruses and spy ware).
Think of how much all this Windows software must cost for each and every computer you own. PhotoShop Elements costs anywhere from $75.00 to around $100.00. And don't forget the EULA (End User Licensing Agreements). The EULA only allows you to install commercial software on one (maybe two if you're lucky) computers.
In contrast, Gimp in Linux is free.
Linux is free to download, free to give, and free to use. When you use Linux, its like putting money in a piggy bank, because you won't be handing it over to Microsoft.
And you can install Linux on as many computers as you own. You won't need to buy any additional software. Linux has everything for basic computing already installed and ready to go. Gimp for photo editing, OpenOffice for office documents, Kaffeine for video, Amarok for MP3s, Firefox for internet, Thunderbird for Email to name just a few.
Get Linux. Save money. It's that simple.

Sorry, but this is terribly misleading. First, since almost all PCs come preloaded with Windows, consumers have already paid for it before they have a chance to try Linux. They save nothing. As for your comparison between Photoshop Elements and the GIMP, you conveniently leave out the fact that the GIMP is also available for Windows. All the other software you mention except Kaffeine is available for Windows as well.
I understand that you're trying to promote Linux, but try doing so with the facts, not misleading adverts.

Throughout this blog I point out/recommend where folks can get a used computer for a few dollars or even free. I often suggest to install Linux on this kind of system. They then get a second (or third) computer for the family. That's where the savings comes in. I should have mentioned this (again) in this post.
In the same way, I have links to Gimp and the other software programs. Folks can see that these apps are available for Windows and Mac.
As for misleading adverts, not sure what you mean by the term "adverts." do you mean "advertisers?" Ads are controlled by Google.

My point is that many people won't actually save a cent by switching to Linux. This article sounded a bit like an advertisement for switching to Linux to me ("Get Linux. Save money. It's that simple." ??) The only case in which they would save is if they manage to acquire a computer with no operating system for free.

Actually, folks would save money when they switch to Linux. They don't have to purchase anti-virus, firewall apps, or additional software. There's a savings right there. I agree, though, that they've already purchased Windows when they buy a new computer. Which is why I point out on this blog to get a used computer, then download and install Linux. Plus, there are a lot of Linux builders out there...you could buy a new computer without Windows.
Thanks for your comments.:) Greatly appreciated! It's given me ideas for future blog posts!

> They don't have to purchase anti-virus, firewall apps, or additional software
I don't see why they have to do that in Windows. Signature-based antivirus software is completely and totally worthless. The only decent antimalware app on the market is ThreatFire, and it has a good free version. In any case, 99.9% of security is basic common sense.
"Additional software" is no more or less expensive on Windows than on Linux. Both have large amounts of free software available.
Looking forward to articles about those rescued PCs :D
