|Cousins James Davis (above) and Jermaine Stevens Jr. have seen Sul Ross arc in a positive way during their four years with the team.

Neither one had a clue where Sul Ross State was in their home state of Texas.
Neither one had any plans to actually signup with the Lobos after their first visit to the campus in Alpine, a mountainous desert city in the western region of the Lone Star State that has a population of under 6,000.
Yet, here James Davis and Jermaine Stevens Jr. are. The cousins are four years into their football careers with the Lobos, and both play integral roles on the team, with Davis a quarterback and Stevens a defensive back.
And they have every intention of making this season their best one yet. After winning five games the first two years of their careers, they won six games last season and hope to contend for an ASC title and playoff berth this season.
"We take it one day at a time, and we feel we are always getting better as a team," Stevens said. "Our coaches prepare us well. It's not about being arrogant, but knowing you can win those games and should win those games."
It's been quite the journey for both of them to get to this point, and it's amazing either one ended up at Sul Ross State, which is nearly 600 miles away from their hometown of Houston.
"When I got here, I didn't think I'd be coming here to play, but it was my only choice," Davis said. "I took advantage of the opportunity."
Stevens didn't even plan on playing football in college. His focus was on track.
"I wasn't even going to play football, but I decided to try it and I enjoyed it and stuck with it," Stevens said. "It was a great decision. I love being around this team."
It's not as if the dream of competing in track faded away.
Stevens set the conference record in the long jump and teamed up with Davis, Byron Jones and Richard Snyder to finish fifth at nationals in the 400 relay.
"It was one of the greatest accomplishments of my life," Stevens said. "It makes me want to do better in everything. Being an All-American in track inspires me to be an All-American in football."
Davis said competing in track has helped him become a better football player, though he admits juggling the two sports isn't the easiest thing to do.
"It's been great running track," Davis said. "It's made me faster, and a lot of the players on the team compete in track, and that experience carries over to football. But it is tough in the spring when you have football and track."
Davis and Stevens have enjoyed their experiences together on the football field and on the track and they wouldn't trade them for the world. They share a unique bond in athletics, particularly in football.
"We have played football together all our lives," Davis said. "We have a special connection and if he sees something he lets me know and if I see something in a game that he can do differently, I let him know about it. We work well together."
Davis has been through three offensive coordinators in his time at Sul Ross State and said he has learned from each one.
He believes he has gotten better each year and is at the point now where he has complete command of the offense, throwing for 460 yards and four touchdowns in the first two games.
It's not a bad place to be for a guy who wasn't sure if he would even have an athletic career in college after an ankle injury put him in a spot where he could've had surgery that might end his football dream.
"I've gotten better each year," Davis said. "It's a blessing to even be playing because I was told I wouldn't play again. I didn't have the surgery, and I'm an even better quarterback now."
Coming off a bye week, Sul Ross State returns to action this week against McMurry. The Lobos' last game was against reigning national champion Mary Hardin-Baylor.
Despite losing 23-7, the Lobos feel good about the effort they put forth, particularly on defense when they forced the Crusaders to settle for field goals on three of their drives in the first half.
Stevens, who has three tackles and has broken up three passes this year, believes the performance against the Crusaders provides confidence for the Lobos going forward.
"We can do big things this year," Stevens said. "Playing with Mary Hardin-Baylor and holding them to three field goals in the red zone, that's hard to do. The fact that we did it gives us a lot of confidence."
Davis hopes he and his teammates can ride that confidence to a successful season.
"We just have to play our game and not play down to anyone's level," Davis said. "If we do that, we should win out and get into the playoffs."
Breakout game for Trinity freshman
Charles Davis scored the first two touchdowns of his college career in Trinity's 28-26 win over Millsaps Saturday. The game was the SAA opener for both teams.
Davis rushed for 81 yards, with 52 coming on his second touchdown of the game. Both scores came in the opening quarter.
He rushed for only 24 yards in his first game for the Tigers but took a big step forward against the Majors as he helped Trinity win its first game of the season. Davis is a freshman out of Louisiana and leads the team in rushing with 105 yards in two games. Trinity is averaging 119.5 yards per game on the ground.
Davis helped the Tigers put up 402 yards of total offense, and quarterback Austin Grauer played a key role as well, throwing for 247 yards and two scores.
Grauer has completed 50 percent of his passes this year and has thrown for 306 yards. The touchdown passes were the first two of the season for the senior signal caller and he seems to be back on track after playing in only five games last year.
Regional notes
Though Texas Lutheran posted its first shutout win since 2008 when it rocked Belhaven 37-0, the highlight of the day came from kicker Tyler Hopkins. He lined up for a 20-yard field goal and the kick was blocked but he quickly kicked the ball off the bounce and it split the uprights.
Berry set a program record for total offense, racking up 530 yards in a 34-13 win over Rhodes. Mason Kinsey tied the program record with three touchdown receptions as Berry improved to 3-0. Kinsey has a team-best six touchdown catches this season.
Centre's running attack was tough to stop in its 52-42 win over Hendrix. The Colonels racked up 277 rushing yards to push its record to 3-0. Trevor Carnell churned out 161 yards and scored a touchdown.
Josh White racked up 12 tackles in Hardin-Simmons' 55-10 ASC win over Louisiana College. The Cowboys forced three turnovers and had a shutout going until the fourth. On a defense that has allowed just 10 points -- the Cowboys beat Texas College 74-0 in their opener -- White has risen to the occasion, leading the team in tackles with 21.
Kevin Hurley did it all for McMurry in its 33-21 win over Howard Payne, throwing for 165 yards and two scores and rushing for 102 yards. His rushing total was the most by a McMurry quarterback since Rashon Lewis picked up 138 yards in 2007 against Hardin-Simmons.

Easy and Delicious Sweet Pickles RecipeTuesday, April 15, 2014
This recipe was nearly lost. These were my grandfather's "famous" sweet pickles, and everyone wanted him to bring them a jar. My grandmother had a hundred of these special recipes, but this was R.G.'s.
Here's the catch: it was a secret recipe; I believe he got a kick out of it. He would not give it out, and when he passed, my grandmother kept it close and continued to make them for family. Then she was diagnosed with dementia among other things. After she passed, during a family Christmas, we were all talking about the things that we'll miss about her. Mostly her humor, her temper, and her slow southern drawl, but also her cooking, which led to the lament about R.G.'s lost pickle recipe.
One day while going through my cookbooks to find something new to try, I came across a yellowed, hand-written index card in a cookbook that was my grandmother's. It wasn't lost after all; it only had to be found.
This is the recipe; easy, and kind of a "cheater". It uses a store-bought jar of sour pickles. Here in the South, we have Mt. Olive and that's what they used. It's quick to make, taking only about 15 minutes of active time, but takes 2 weeks to develop. It's too good to be lost again, so I'm leaving it here for someone else to find.

For one Gallon jar:

- 5 lbs. Sugar
- 1 c. White Vinegar

- 1/4 tsp. Alum
For one Pint jar:
- 1 pint Sour Pickles
- 1-1/4 c. Sugar
- 2 Tbsp. White Vinegar
- 3/4 tsp. Celery Seeds
- small pinch of Alum
- Drain juice from pickles. Rinse and soak in ice water 1 hour.
- Dry pickles well and cut into chunks.
- I use a square of Organza, doubled, to make a sachet for the celery seed, but you can just dump it in if you like.
- Refill the cleaned jar about halfway with the pickle chunks, drop in the spices, and pour in some of the sugar, shaking it to pack it into the crevices between the pickle chunks.
- Finish filling the jar and pouring in the sugar until you reach the top of the jar. You may have a few chunks leftover.
- Pour in the vinegar. You can help it soak down and release the air bubbles by sliding a knife down the insides of the jar. Cap well.
- Turn the jar upside down once a day for 2 weeks. They're ready then, but the longer they soak, the better they are.
- Store in the refrigerator.
Do you have any great family recipes? Are they "secret"?

Castles & Crusades The Outpost
The Outpost is an adventure module for 3-6 player characters of 1st to 3rd level.
The Outpost stands upon a high ridge, overlooking the long, broken country of the southern Gelderland. It guards the main route between the lands of the Uthine orcs and the Fontenouq elves who dwell in small towers and fortified keeps in the north of that country. The Outpost is a key to the defense of the elven homeland, for from it messages are sent to the lords of that people, keeping them abreast of all that the orcs do. It is only lightly defended, for the orcs have not gathered in great numbers since the fall of the Horned God, so many years ago.
That is about to change. Under their warlord, Grom, they are massing, plotting to overwhelm the Outpost and plunge their arms into the lands of the Fontenouq, crushing the elves in a series of rapid battles, before they can gather their scattered peoples.
The elves at the Outpost, longer used to calm and quiet, know nothing of this, and unless news is brought to them quickly, they and many of their people will fall beneath the ravages of Grom and his host of ravage, wild-eyed Uthine warriors.
Scheduled for print release March, 2016

At 83, when most people have long retired, artist Yu Loon Ching is staging his first solo exhibition after a lifetime of painting, publishing and doing art-related work spanning six decades.His show, titled Between The Lines, comprises 40 mostly black-and-white works in ink he created with a ballpoint pen.Read more
Born in Sarawak, Yu is a self-taught second-generation artist who moved to Singapore in 1966.But he started to paint seriously here only after winning a silver award with his painting, Six Faithful Dogs, under the Emerging Artist Category in the UOB Painting of the Year competition two years ago.Yu was active in the Sarawak art scene in the 1950s when he was secretary of the Kuching Art Club, before coming to work here 60 years ago as assistant director with the then Singapore Tourist Promotion Board."I took part in the UOB competition because I had earlier created a new painting technique with my black-ink ballpoint pen and wanted to know how well it would be accepted," says Yu, who was educated in Chinese and English schools in Kuching before studying typography and fine art for a year in New Zealand under a Colombo Plan Scholarship in 1960.He remembers creating his new painting technique in 2010 when he visited his daughter Pi-Hsien, then a diplomat working for the Singapore Embassy in Washington, DC. He also has a younger son, a lawyer working in Dublin."I was in the garden of her house when I started to sketch and paint abstract figures using a ballpoint pen and found them to be interesting as works of art," he recalls.After he returned home, Yu, who is married to a former secretary, continued to create many more works with his new technique, including larger ones on art boards and canvases.He says ideas for his works come from his dreams, but they show strong social themes and Borneo traditions, all related to his younger days in Sarawak. Dogs and faces are recurring images to show the relationship between the animal and man."My dogs are in an exaggerated form and some have two heads to show the harm the double-headed ones could bring to man in real life," he explains.Others show his travels to places in the region, such as Bali.
Though he was not a professional painter, Yu's career till his retirement in the mid-1990s was related to art. He started an art gallery at People's Park Complex in the late 1960s before working for Federal Publications as a production chief and later starting his own publishing company and producing many art-related books between the 1980s and early 1990s.In the early 1970s, he joined a group of watercolourists, such as the late Lim Cheng Hoe and Ong Chye Cho, to paint the Singapore River and pre-war shophouses in Chinatown and other areas, every Sunday.He still joins a group of friends doing life drawings at the Safra Clubhouse every Saturday."I am beginning my life as a professional artist with my first solo show at 83 and hope to stage the next one soon," he quips.

Sitting in my living room is an aqua Remington Streamliner, a boxy 1950s typewriter. It's missing the right-hand Shift key, and has an exclamation point but no number one. As of this week, it's now part of an extinct breed.
Godrej and Boyce was the last operating typewriter factory, a small plant in Mumbai who saw its annual orders fall to as little as 800 in recent years. According to Milind Dukle, the company's general manager:
"From the early 2000s onwards, computers started dominating. All the manufacturers of office typewriters stopped production, except us. 'Till 2009, we used to produce 10,000 to 12,000 machines a year. But this might be the last chance for typewriter lovers. Now, our primary market is among the defence agencies, courts and government offices."
I'd say it's the end of an era, but that era ended with the advent of personal computing. Instead, let's say we've snuffed out of the last fumes of nostalgia, the solidification of typewriters as strictly antiques. The people who care will preserve theirs, the people who don't wont, and eventually the only typewriters left will recognized as they always should have been: works of art disguised as machines.
Update: Nevermind! Looks like rumors of the typewriter's death have been greatly exaggerated. [Daily Mail via The Atlantic]

On Debian Squeeze my little Chinese RF keyboard with built in mouse pad works great (this thing: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-4GHz-RF-Min ... 23150a3b07)
But when I tried Wheezy (and selected the default keyboard as required by the startup config utility ) and likewise when I ran Raspbian and performed all the update commands including various keyboard configs as given here: http://www.raspbian.org/PiscesImages the mouse pointer stays rooted to the bottom of the startx windows. I can get it to bounce a little and it moves right and left ok - it appears as if there is a massive offset or the mouse y co-ords are being translated incorrectly.
Would anyone know where and how might I fix this please?
In all cases I selected standard UK 105 keyboard (not knowing what else to select) Though I now notice the keyboard has no £ symbol so maybe UK is not the right selection.
Many thanks
