New librarian Kent brings diverse background to Ozarks
Release Date: 9/7/2012
Sarah Kent's love of books started when she was a child growing up in Colorado.
Sarah Kent is the new catalog librarian at the university's L.S. and Hazel C. Robson Library.
"Our local libraries were treasure troves of information and distractions," she said. "In school, I always sought refuge in the library when I felt like I wasn't getting the answers I was looking for in my classes."
Kent, the new catalog librarian in the university's L.S. and Hazel C. Robson Library, most recently worked at the law library at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. Her eclectic professional career includes working as a journalist and in the publishing field. She also has worked as an adjunct professor and in various research positions with companies and organizations such as the Wal-Mart home office, Kawneer/Alcoa, Newlywed Foods, Immigration Equality, and Access to Justice.
"I've been working with information in various forms for the past 15 years," she said.
Kent's education background is also one of diversity. She earned bachelor's degrees in both speech/theatre and mass communication from the University of Central Arkansas. She has a law degree from Seattle University and a master's degree in library and information from the University of Alabama.
Kent said she first thought of a career in library and information after talking with a co-worker at one of her previous jobs.
"To be honest, I had always thought of librarianship as a great retirement plan, but one of my colleagues pointed out to me that it was also a worthwhile career path.," she said. "I still thank him every time we speak."
While most librarians do not have a law degree, Kent said it has been beneficial.
"Getting a law degree had a profound impact on the way I look at information," she said. "It forced me to think of information in a more pragmatic way, and it really sparked my interest in the way people process information."
As far as her reading interests, Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series has topped her list for many years.
"I got the 'More Than Complete' collection when I was in elementary school, and I carried it around in my crayon box, then my pencil box, then my backpack, and so on for years," she said. "At first, I really just enjoyed the humor, but as I have gotten older I appreciate, and can identify with, the questions the books pose as well as the commentary on societies, not just around the world, but across the universe."
She heard about the library position at Ozarks from a friend and was immediately impressed with the campus during her job interview.
"My first impression was that everyone was extremely warm and welcoming, even to job applicants who had not yet joined the Ozarks family," she said.
Kent said she is constantly amazed by the beauty of the campus and the surrounding area.
"I am taken in every day by the beauty and serenity of the campus," she said. "Although my office window looks out over a parking lot and another building's roof, I often steal a glance out the other windows in the library to admire the fountain, the flowers, and the trees. "
One of her goals for the library is to "see more patrons take advantage of the many resources the library provides."
"We're constantly adding new items to the collection and trying to find better ways to make the resources accessible," she said.
Kent and her husband, Michael Harper, have a 9-year-old daughter, Jordan, and a dog named Dexter.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
My initial post contained my concern for the puppies, particularly in them not receiving colostrum. And concern for the bitch as well. Growling and cowering and bristling is not normal behavior for whelping, so my thought was the bitch needs to be with someone who realizes she may be in trouble or at least terribly stressed.
Not angry or anything.
selzer thanks for informative post. i was not trying to be disrespectful earlier in the thread, i do get a bit guardy when i think unjustified comments are being made about the breeders i respect and know are doing the right thing.
so hope you are not angry or anything at me.
first time i heard of this, a friend had a planned breeding with a first time mother (gsd's of course). the mother dropped the pups all over the kennel and cowered in the corner of th kennel geting as far away as possible from them snarling and bristles up. she killed two pups instantly before anyone could react. the shocked owners removed all the pups and lucky in that neighbourhood there were two pet dogs with litters that took on the pups straight away without fuss while still caring for their own pups. the pups have been surrogated and getting bottle supplements.
the female has an incredibly good temperament other than this and has zero dog agression and has owners kids playing with her and climbing all over her every other day before this happened - what went wrong??
My picture is a kennel maybe 10' x 20' give or take, where the bitch is in there literally whelping (dropping) puppies all over the place. It sounds like she she totally freaked out. And was delivering the puppies in a kennel environment where there may be other dogs in other runs increasing her stress.
Whelping is terribly stressful on a bitch. I have been blessed with good dams, who care about every single puppy born. My very first thought was a c-section. Some bitches when they have a c-section do not realize these are her puppies, and the anesthetic wearing off is disorienting, and suddenly finding herself with a bunch of hairy little monsters might have been rather hairy. But then I saw dropping them all over the place -- I guess I am just thinking that we are a lot more hands on when it comes to whelping litters. We do not let them drop them all over the place. We have a 4 foot square box, or a 4'x5' box, and we are right there. It is very hands on. But the emphasis is always not to stress the bitch, any more than she already is.
I usually pull the puppies out and put them in a box, either right in or right out of the 4' box, when she starts turning to have another puppy. It is a terribly wet and messy ordeal, and puppies must be kept dry and warm, so I put them in a box when she is turning and spewing water. But if she stops and starts paying attention to where that pup is, I just put it right back in with her. I will dry it off again when she is working on the next one. Keep stress levels down.
The idea of the dog doing this in the ordinary kennel run where the other dogs are running back and forth in their runs barking and being idiots -- they do when people are there and when stuff like this is going on, made me cringe.
But it can be worse than that, If she had her group of puppies and all of sudden started scattering them, and cowering in a corner growling and bristling and then killed a couple of them, I would be worried that something was seriously wrong with her, was this right after whelping them, or was this a day or two later. Could she have a serious infection. Bitches can kill their young if they feel seriously threatened, and having a stuck puppy or a retained puppy that is sickening her might cause this.
I guess we just don't have enough information.
It is common for people to suggest that a bitch not be left unattended with her pups until the umbilical cords drop off (a few days). Usually I stay right with a new mother as I cannot know that she is an excellent dam unless I go through a few days. But I have to sleep too, so I stay close and I do sleep if all is going well with her.
As for breeding this bitch again, my gut reaction is no. Even when I have a bitch develop a bit of a fever, I haven't had them attack and kill puppies. Again if it was a C-section, that could be a whole other story though. If she was terribly young, like 10-15 months old, maybe that played a part in it. But even puppies that have puppies usually do not act this extreme. If it wasn't a c-section, then I would say she has some wires crossed in her head.
The sire of the litter is of no consequence in this, and I am not sure why he is being mentioned at all.
|Sometimes with a females first litter she is overwhelmed if the size is very large(like 9 pups or more). I had female years ago that her first litter at 2 1/2 years was 10 pups and she handled six well, but lost the rest. Rock solid temperament, but it appeared it was just too much at that time. A year later she had a litter of 9 and never had one lick of problem....she really needed to learn from the first experience. Not saying this is case here, just giving an example of what I have experienced.
|Lauri & The Gang
the sire of the pups is from one of the most prolific breeder of gsd in modern times
As for breeding the bitch again - these people were SERIOUSLY lucky that they could find other nursing bitches that would accept more puppies (many bitches won't).
Hand raising newborns is a 24/7 job. The pups need to be nursed every 2 hours and have their bottoms wiped with a warm, damp towel in order to stimulate them to pee and poop. If you get some that don't take to nursing on bottles easily you need to tube feed them.
Let's say it takes 15 - 20 minutes to nurse a puppy, burp it, stimulate it to potty, clean it up, check it's weight and put it back with the others. If you have 8 puppies - that's a total of 2 hours worth of work. Just as you finish with one round of nursings you need to start again.
This female should never be bred again.
Maternal instinct is inhereted by the daughters .
I have a female that has to be pulled out by the collar to leave the pups to take care of her own needs. After the pups are weaned and homed she will still fly down to the whelping room just to make absolutely sure they are not there. Super mother , as was her mother , her grandmother , great grandam , and now it is revealed so is her daughter.

Ok so in my personal (uneducated about dogs in this manor) opinion I would breed the dog one more time. I would make sure I did the right thing and watched the bitch like a hawk but I would do it one more time as long as shes a REALLY good dog in every other aspect.
|gotcha, sorry about my interpretation of yr question.
will you know they are horrible mothers BEFORE they are bred??? if so how? the comment about prior history in the line i guess could be a clue, but lines get scattered around the country and outcrossed i would think to get this info easily.
the mother herself was born so i guess her mother and mothers mother....obviously reared at least one pup each without being too absurd??

i am sure Selzer is big enough to speak for her/himself.
what you think is "obvious" or "correct" means little to me.
as far as you telling me what i can and can't do means even less.
have a nice day and a happy new year.

Typical Wife Reporting Husband Over Due to USCG
Where did he launch the boat from?
I dunno
What type of vehicle is he driving?
A white Ford p/u truck.
What is the trucks tag number?
When was he to return?
Not sure.
What kind of boat does he have?
A fishing boat.
What's the boat's reg. numbers?
etc...etc...you get the picture!
USCG can use all the help it can get. If you see a SAR case waiting to happen, get any info you can and pass it on. It could save thousands of taxpayer dollars.

BWI endangers us all. Saving fools from drowning...not my job, but I'd rather send the USCG out to impound a docked craft, than scramble an expensive SAR mission 48 hours later.
If they're sober and the boat is safe, the USCG will be gone in a half hour. If there's a problem, at least it will be mitigated.
Every time I hear stories like this I feel better about myself. I know I have done stupid things before but I never endanger the lives of my friends, crew, local rescue teams, or coast guard. I often find myself calling the Coast Guard to inform them of dangerous situations. The response I always get is a THANK YOU. Even if just a mark on the screen if they have a point of reference should something go really wrong it makes a world of difference. Think of it this way; the moron next to you goes out for the first time in force 8 winds and has no clue what he is doing. If you fill the Coast Guard in on the situation they can track him all the way or they can board and perform a safety inspection. No matter how it turns out they are always there to help.
Dongreerps-I completely agree with you and yes I do contribute to my local emergency services both in time and money.
SEMIJim-No worries, I figured as much.

He invited me aboard and showed me the work he had done that day and told me of his plan to sail it to the Cape the next day by himself. Only problems were that he had never run the engine (Atomic 4, I think) and had never sailed a boat with a jib before. He asked me a bunch of questions about how to rig and use the "front sail."
He was a nice guy and not a kid but eccentric. He did have a beer in his hand throughout. I'm not the most experienced sailor in the world but this guy made me feel like Joshua Slocum. He asked me for help bending the sails on and I gave it to him. He had no GPS but did have charts. Among other things, I strongly urged him to take a sea trial, at the least, and asked him if he knew anybody more experienced who could accompany him. He said no one could make it and he had to get it back by Monday, or something like that. He did not seem to be worried about the trip at all.
I mentioned his plan to the yard manager who merely rolled his eyes and suggested that this type of venture by a new owner was not all that uncommon. In a day or two I started feeling guilty about aiding and abetting his plan. I even tried to track him down through information to call him a few days later to see how the trip went but couldn't find a number for him near his destination. (I can now remember neither his name nor town.) But I never read or heard anything bad and am assuming that he is still with us. Maybe I'm just too much of a nervous Nellie.
One theme running through this thread is the thought that the CG or the cops are the bad guys, and reporting the inexperienced would be acting like a snitch. Having worked in emergency rooms for decades, it was inevitable to get to know the local cops. Most of them really are good guys. Most of them would rather help someone out than bust them. If Primerate84 had known a couple of CG or cops as friends, the call would have been easy.
I encourage all to get to know the locals. It may well be worth the effort. Lot differerent calling a friend for help than a stranger. You do contribute to the local volunteer fire department don't you?
YES Fred was my boat! As soon as I read your story I knew that we were thinking of the same guys. I came to find Fred through the New Haven Yacht Club as the boys could not afford a mooring and were sitting on and visitors mooring. Long story short I came out to look at the boat and found a host of rigging mistakes (things they changed and should not have) as well as some major safety issues. The redeeming quality of the boat was the 2004 Nissan 9.9 outboard and to be realistic thats the only reason I wanted her. I got the package for $1,000.00 and sailed her from the yacht club to Deep River on a Thursday morning. After a nice late summer of sailing I pulled her during the really bad flooding in early fall of 2005. Dome damage was done due to the mooring going under so I made repairs and left her on the hard for the winter with a small for sale sign. Over 50 people made offers and I ended up selling her to a contractor from Mississippi who was working in long island sound on one of the underwater cables. He picked up Fred in April of 2006 and sailed her until December of 2006 when he gave her to some sailing academy on Long Island.
As far as the boys go I did learn a great deal about them by what I found on the boat. Many handles of liquor and about 100 beers were left on the boat. I also found a disposable camera so I had it developed to see what I could find. Turns out they sailed to Long Island and made some kind of half-assed attempt to sail through The Race and to Block. From what the pictures show they never made it and turned back due to wash over the bow. Im guessing by the color of their faces they were all drunk and not ready for something like The Race. I dont believe they sailed it again after that.
I should send you some pictures of the boat that I took before I sold her. She cleaned up really well and was a wonderful boat for sailing the edges of the CT River. Regretfully she was one of many and I just could not take good enough care of her and still find time to keep the girlfriend happy. Where do you sail out of? Im currently in Deep River CT sailing an Irwin 33.

CJ's has an nice field/store. The staff can usually fix whatever you need fixed at the store. They have a nice "5man" speedball field, and plenty of woodsball area to serve all needs. They have CO2 and HPA(up to 4500). Lots of forts and bunkers. Paint is around $50 per case of "logoball" Draxxus midnight. The reffing is pretty good. They have group packages and rental equipment. The players are usually friendly.
Posted 12 April 2010 - 04:01 PM
Also I'd like to add that if you buy a gun from them and it breaks or has any problems they will fix it for you any time, you don't even need a receipt to prove you bought it from (at least I didn't) there store has everything you need, and if it doesn't you can ask them to order it for you, for tons of info on the season, field, and local events/surrounding fields, call the store and ask for chuck, if he's not there he's at the field, and I believe the airball/Xball field just got put up.

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by roscoe36, Sep 13, 2006.
Be careful what you ask for...
Re: One Man's Advanced League Team Reviews I agree, great analysis - can't wait for my breakdown. I'll take Frye and/or G. Wallace off your hands. How bout B. Gordon for G. Wallace?? For those who havent noticed with my trade offers, I'm considering getting rid of my better FT shooters and just giving up on that category. Also trying to trade Gordon or Hinrich (or both).
Re: One Man's Advanced League Team Reviews Thanks for the acknowledgement. I think my team is pretty balanced but I am concerned about the rebounding I am getting from my Center position. It was just the first week so I am going to see how things go. I thought I would get more production out of Mourning. Perhaps with Shaq going down I will get a little bump in the stats from him. One can hope. As far as dealing Randolph, I have thought about it but like you stated what do you trade him for? I know Randolph's points per game, FG% and FT% will drop but he did grab 10 boards a game before his knee injury 3 years ago so it is possible he can do it again this year.
Some more team reviews Webz Wombats Wombats has three elite fantasy pieces in Garnett, Redd and Kidd, then there's somewhat of a dropoff from there. While the PG position is more than adequately manned (Kidd, Felton, Alston, Watson and Nelson), the SG/ SF/ PF positions are all somewhat thin. An injury there would cause a world of hurt. And speaking of injuries, Wombats decided to carry the Gasol load, which will be a big wild-card later. With him, they're a top teir team, without, definitely running in the middle. Carrying an injured player (especially with a high draft pick) means that you're automatically ~10% worse off than any other team, and he might dig a hole for himself early on. Judging from last week's effort, though, he seems to be doing ok, although that might be because of a poor effort by the Pastor. Statistically, I think that the high FG% in week 1 is an anomaly with a large number of poor career FGers on the staff (Alston, Kidd, Wallace, Smith, Felton, Watson). FT% is always a risk with Wallace on board, but the rest look solid. There's not a huge amount of scoring here, with Redd the only high volume guy, but Wombat's got 3Pt covered with a number of bombers. Abundant rebounding here, and AST should be better than opening week with so many PGs (and good passing bigs), but TOs should also be higher for the same reason. BL and steals should be above average. Strengths: Reb, AST, BL, St, 3Pt, AST Weaknesses: FG%, Pts, TOs Recommendation: Deal one or two PGs for some depth at SG/SF Finnish: top few, Gasol could push him to the top Jammer If you wondered where all the centers are, just check out Jammer's squad. With Ming, Darko, Bynum, Dampier and Blount, Jammers has cornered the market. Also, Jammer probably has the best PG combo in the league with Bibby and Paul filling it up but is thin after that. The SGs are a weak link with Davis and EJones OK, but not premier players. At the forward positions, only Odom is scary, and truly frightening (for Jammer) is the PF combo of Webber and Martin. The clock is ticking on those two. Iguodala may be breaking out this year, watch and see. With few premier scorers or 3Pt shooters (Odom will not continue to hit 3 a game), Jammer will be weak there. With all the Cs, Jammer finished near the top in REB (but not in BL?) in the first week, and rode Odom and Paul to the AST crown, where he should continue to be strong, but TOs will be high. Percentages should be solid, but not spectacular. Strengths: AST, FG%, Reb Weaknesses: 3Pt, Pts, TOs Recommendations: Add a premier scoring SG, and a more reliable forward. Deal some of the C excess when others become desparate as injuries pile up. Finish: For real, if any of Jammers second centers blows up (Bynum or Milicic realistically), and his PFs remain healthy, he's got a good squad. Upper middle class.
Even though you completely dogged my squad...these reviews are excellent! Keep up the good work buddy. Glad to have you in the league. - MotownPride
thanks for the report! gasol was taken in the 7th round (74th overall). i am hearing reports he may be back before the new year. If so, to quote Kamla, I'm STEALING right there baby. Well noted on the forward front but Turkoglu is under-rated and I was/am hoping for big things from May and Granger. the other thing you got right - i WILL be at the top by seasons end. EDIT: oh, and its wombatz with a Z. zzzzzzzzzzzzz!
Great job MainMan! You've clearly spent a lot of time and effort on your reviews.
yes confirm mainman if I have the worst front court in the league...
First trade in the works in the Advanced League! Please tell me how l'm getting ripped by trading Kevin Martin for Brevin Night. Why have there been no other trades? It seems to me that people are only interested in ripping other teams off (based on the offers I've seen so far). Why don't people just realize that you have to give something to get something? There's a lot of mediocre teams that could be alot better by simply reshuffling their deck a bit.
Well Dre, I'm going from best teams to worst, so it may take a while before I get to your team... Kidding. You'll be a lot better with KevMart in the fold.
That normally takes a while. I'm not surprised.
yep. theres a few guys on my team who i would have dropped if it was mid-season, but the first week is a suck and see. you don't wanna be hasty droppin someone early on who is gonna turn around and start droppin stats on you afterwards.
More team reviews Big Daddy Nash and Johnson form a very solid back-court, and while the front-court has no fantasy monsters, every player is solid (RWallace, Butler, Pachulia, Villanueva, Curry, Dalembert), and that depth will make him a solid competitor. The most glaring weakness is depth at the PG position. Nash and Duhon at the point is not going to cut it for a whole season. Statistically, Big Daddy was the best team in week 1. While I think the team is very good, I don't expect him to be able to keep up the same torrid pace. Big daddy looks solid on the percentages, and looks deadly on PTS and 3Pt. Despite Nash though, without another passer in the line-up I don't see him faring that well in AST throughout the season. REB and BL will probably continue to be his main weaknesses, as Dalembert is the only guy who excells in both and he's due to miss 30-40 games this year. The other bigs are more scoring-first players, and while some of them like Wallace and Villanueva are rebounding well at the moment I don't expect them to keep getting 10 a game. Strengths: FG%, FT%, 3Pt, Pts, ST Weaknesses: AST, Reb, Bl Recommendations: Either deal Nash and give up on the PG slot, or deal a big to get another PG. Finish: definitely in the running. Swoosh I have to admit that this is one bad looking team. There are just way too many ?s here. Can Stoudamire stay healthy... Can Miller get healthy... Will Ginobili, Stoyakovic, Simmons, Radmanovic, Brown return to their former glory... Can Morrison can crack 40% shooting in his rookie year...Are Sefolosha and Arroyo the single most pathetic PG combo ever??. Sitting in the middle of all of this nastiness are fantasy beasts Shawn Marion and Vince Carter. But they just can't do it all by themselves. Strengths: 3Pt. That's it. Weaknesses: Too many. Recommendation: Trade Marion and Carter in 2:1 deals to add some reliable depth to the team, then Pray. Finish: Dead last.
Its not necissarily about dropping the guys you've got, but seeing who is on their way up. No time is a bad time for trades. Sell high and buy low are the rules, no matter what time in the season it is. In my case, I sold high and bought high, as both Martin and Night are tearing it up. But its really about rounding out your team, and I needed another top-tier PG more than a scoring SG.
Man, I wish BBallJ was in the Advanced League right about now. I wouldn't mind trading Dorko for someone like KG, LBJ or Marion.
LOL. If you were trading with Jay, you would be trading Dorko for Arroyo, Livingston, or Artest. He doesn't have those other guys.
What do you think of my team?
Need a real good big man for Gerald Wallace and Brandon Roy - packaged. Make me an offer please. I need to solidify my rebounding a little more seeing that Channing Frye is still missing in action and Chris Wilcox apparently loss his game after his big contract. MainManJoeD apparently is more on the money with his thoughts than I originally anticipated. Hollaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Mo - How long is Roy going to be out with that heel injury? Do you have any interest in Mohammed?
Roy might be back as early as tonight. It appears that he is just going to deal with his injury all year, take cortisone shots and have surgery post season. I expect him to put up the same impressive numbers he did before he got his heel checked out. I think he's the early favorite by most as rookie of the year. Mohammed sounds intriguing but obviously Wallace would not be a part of that deal.
Separate names with a comma.

My wife and I recently sold both of our cars and picked up one car for double duty (she drives to work, I take transit). Mostly this was because before we were married, we both had our own cars... but it doesn't hurt that to rent an extra parking spot in downtown toronto costs $150-$200 per month; and we really didn't need the extra car. No to mention, parking downtown is really expensive.
I have a toy car that I can use from time to time if need be, but it sleeps mid-town at my father in law's house.
I would consider a vespa or something similar... but really, we do need a car to get around on the weekends.
So what would it take to get you out of your car? What would it take for you to be forced from your car?
- Cost of gas?
- Cost of parking?
- Cost of insurance?
- Committment to being energy conscious?
- Never get rid of your car, regardless?

Re: Luau Girl
Amazing. Its hard to believe you only have 6 colors in there! Great job! gmv
I think Wonderbunny is absolutely right about the anonymity of the internet bringing out the worst in some people. There is a fine line between criticism and cruelty, and I would say that a lot of posts in this thread have crossed that line.
What ever happened to giving people the benefit of the doubt? Can you all so quickly assume that this person churned out something they didn't put their heart and talent into and is simply pandering to the voters for the cash?
Lets say that is the case. Turn that microscope on yourselves. How many of you take time out of your lives to create something, then go through the trouble of submitting the design to woot with absolutely no intention of, or interest in winning? I like designing and challenging myself creatively, but I could do that without entering a contest.
This is a contest. It is also a business that is here to make money, just like everyone else who submits a design hopes to do. If she submitted this design because she knew it would get votes...she played the game better than the rest of you. Problems with that? Step it up yourselves, or quit bitching.
I happen to know this person personally, and I can attest to the fact (like Boni did previously) that she has more artistic integrity than any three submitters on this site (myself included) combined. She worked hard on this design in what little free time she had, and indicated to me absolutely no intent to "pander" to the voters. She succeeded in creating something that made her happy AND is being accepted by a large number of people. I'm not asking that she receive any special treatment because she's new, or because I know her and her intentions...just the benefit of the doubt.
Some of you are so quick to judge. At the risk of sounding like a bleeding heart, I wonder if you all are the same people that get pissed and cuss at slow drivers before you get close enough to see the purple heart on the license plate and that they have no legs...
I hope you enjoy my alternative idea on a luau! Please vote!

Discussion in 'Fantasy Sports Central' started by webz, Sep 29, 2008.
lol. Nice to read some smack talk Bill.
Thats because our draft rosters sucked that bad.
problem solved...
I have the best 8th place team ever. This week is one of my few (only?) big wins. I've had some big losses, but many weeks where I have won 5-4. Dealt Slippy a bloody lip to go with his infinite sorrow!
I haven't checked the standings in a while. Who is in 1st place these days?
I am Bill.
Perhaps those six hard fouls you have taken have knocked you silly. :dizzy2::dizzy2::dizzy2::dizzy2::dizzy2::dizzy2:
Looks like the playoffs start next week. Get ready!!!
tater took me to task in both leagues...i've avoided the injury bug most of the year, but i'm not going to win playoffs without guys like durant back. i was near the top (and still am), securing my playoff position...but i've been struggling for awhile. i guess we'll see how playoffs go.
Tater is not in this league.
No matter. I get blamed for everything.
i blame tater whenever i lose.
This is by far the most fun league I have every played. Tater is not in this league. Coincidence?
It's always more fun when you actually have a chance to win, Bill.
Wow, what a finish to the season! Congrats to Bill on finishing as Regular Season champ. A trophy will be presented to you soon. :winner_first_h4h: The battle for seedings was very tight, especially the fight for the 6th and final playoff spot. To say this tested out the tie-breaker system is an understatement. The two teams in question are Winless and Roscoe. These are the tie-breaker rules which were posted on the Message board when the league was created: In the event that two or more teams have the same winning percentage at the conclusion of the Regular Season, the following tie-breaking system determines the seed: 1 - Head-to-head record 2 – Most Overall categories won in Head to Head 3 – Best record against other playoff teams 4 – Most categories won against other playoff teams 5 – Most Total Points scored during the season 6 - Coin Flip Results Winning % = Winless .508, Roscoe .508 1. Head-to-Head record = 8-8-2 (two matchups) 2. Overall categories won in Head-to-Head = Tied at 8 3. Best record vs other playoff teams = As both teams are fighting for 6th, their record versus each other will not be included in this. Their record against each other is the same anyway so it is irrelevant. Here is the result... Winless vs other playoff teams - 33-52-5 Roscoe vs other playoff teams - 48-49-2 Therefore, Roscoe claims the 6th and final playoff spot. Congrats to him, commiserations to Winless. Final Standings 1. Auburn Hills Potato Skins 2. Will Bynums 3 Pointers 3. Detroit Malcontents 4. Path of Infinite Sorrow 5. Team 2XR 6. Sandwich Microwaves 7. Team Winless Bandits 8. Webz Wombatz 9. Detroit Six Hard Fouls 10. The SuckTrotters Playoff matchups to follow...
Playoffs - 1st Round Matchups 1) Auburn Hills Potato Skins - BYE 2) Will Bynum's 3 Pointers - BYE 3) Detroit Malcontents vs 6) Sandwich Microwaves 4) Path of Infinite Sorrow vs 5) Team 2XR Consolation 7) Team Winless Bandits vs 8) Webz Wombatz 9) Detroit Six Hard Fouls vs 10) The SuckTrotters Unfortunately ESPN already classified Winless 6th and Roscoe 7th, and I can't seem to change that number, so don't freak out that the seed numbers are wrong. The matchups are still correct.
Who is BYE? I don't remember seeing that team. And why does BYE have to play two different teams in the first round?
Yeah, you've probably never seen that BYE guy before. Hey, why the hell did you steal my name? I think I had that copyrighted last year. No wonder you came in first place, you thief!!!
what an epic race for the other 1st-round bye. i started slipping toward the end of the year after holding 1st place the entire time. i beat the malcontents to take 2nd place by having a one more tie instead of one more loss. hopefully i can make a push now with boozer and durant back and sheed probably coming back next week.
You're done Malcontents.

ROME (AP) — A U.S. lawyer for compensation-seeking survivors of the Costa Concordia capsizing said Wednesday he will push for changes in maritime laws and technology to make the cruise ship industry safer.
John Arthur Eaves Jr. said that in about two weeks he will file lawsuits against Miami-based Carnival Corp., the parent company of Costa Crociere, SpA., the Italian cruise line whose ship rammed a reef off a Tuscan island on Jan. 13 and capsized. At least 17 people were killed and 15 remain unaccounted for.
The lawyer said his 70 clients want to sue Carnival, including ones from the United States, Italy, Germany, Britain, Russia and Switzerland. He did not identify them by name.
Eaves, who lost an election for governor of Mississippi in 2007, was among the lawyers who obtained settlements of nearly $2 million apiece in 2000 for families of 20 people killed in Italy when a U.S. Marine jet clipped a ski gondola's cable two years earlier.
The Concordia's Italian captain, Francesco Schettino, is under house arrest in Italy.
Prosecutors are investigating Schettino for alleged manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning the luxury liner while many of the 4,200 passengers and crew were still aboard the ship.
The Costa Concordia rapidly began taking on water and turned on its side after being gashed by the reef off Giglio island when the vessel dangerously sailed too close to rocky coast, apparently in a kind of "salute" to the islanders to impress those aboard.
Eaves said he thought too much attention is focusing on the role of the captain, who has denied abandoning the ship. The lawyer said some crew members apparently failed to promptly inform passengers of the serious nature of the accident, and another issue is why the Concordia was sailing too close to the island's rocky coast.
"The captain is not the only one responsible," Eaves said, but the "entire cruise industry." In other words, the lawyer said, "We know the captain messed up, but the question is, why did he mess up?"
Costa officials have denied that Concordia nearing Giglio was a publicity stunt for the cruise line.
Eaves said he will lobby Italian and European politicians, as well as international maritime authorities, to tighten regulations and laws to increase safety, to press for better training of crew members, and to develop and implement new safety-oriented technology.
The objective is to "change policies, change the way the cruise industry does business," Eaves said.
Specifically, he said he would work to strike down European regulations limiting cruise company liabilities, as well as lobby to promote technology similar to that used by air-trafffic-control towers when pilots stray off course to warn ship captains of danger.
"There is always a little change after a disaster," the lawyer said. "The aim here is to make it a large change so that it doesn't happen again."
Some relatives of victims have said they have been approached by Costa offering settlements of a few thousand euros (dollars). Eaves called such sums "ridiculous by American standards" and said he hopes that much bigger settlements, triggered by lawsuits, will prompt the cruise industry to "spend more money on the front end to prevent accidents (rather) than paying money on the back end."
He declined to say how much compensation his clients will seek, but said they range from among one survivor who lost $50,000 worth of designer gowns and dresses, to relatives of the dead or missing.
Rough seas this week have thwarted a plan to pump out millions of gallons (tons) of fuel in the Concordia, which is lying in pristine Tuscan waters.
Choppy waters have also forced the suspension of a search for any more bodies aboard, but an Italian newspaper reported that earlier this week, during a break in the bad weather, searchers pinpointed the cabin where a surviving child had left his teddy bear in the evacuation.
Corriere Fiorentino, the Florence edition of Corriere della Sera, reported that the boy's mother did not survive the accident.
His father had written to islanders who temporarily sheltered his son and himself after they were evacuated and mentioned the boy couldn't sleep at night without his teddy bear, the paper reported.
Firefighters who had searched the ship were told about the missing toy and then went back in to retrieve it from an above-water section of the wreck. They sent it to the boy, who lives in Verona, northern Italy, said the newspaper, which didn't identify the family.

The Path to Increased Productivity and Reduced Risk
Enterprise File Sharing and Sync (EFSS) products are making inroads into the enterprise -in fact, Forrester analyst Ted Schadler recently called the space the "hottest technology category since social networking". However, many EFSS implementations leave many issues unanswered, such as:
How will intellectual property be protected if a user shares or syncs it?
How will compliance be handled if regulated data ends up in the EFSS system?
How will data be discoverable if files are synced to a cloud service and the company gets entangled in a lawsuit?
Download this White Paper and see how you can take the shortest path to implementing EFSS, while protecting the organization against data loss incidents.

Rock, mojo and electronic shake up Summit County Colorado
January 19, 2012
Who: The Congress When: Tonight and SaturdayWhere: Snake River Saloon, KeystoneWhere'd the name come from? Needed a name and every member was living in a different part of the country. We met about as much as Congress at the time.Home base: Denver. We're from Richmond, VA Type of music: Rock 'n' roll, rock 'n' soul Why do people love ya? Hopefully because the music makes them feel good.How do you keep it fresh? Don't play the same way twice. What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? Incriminating … ask us in person … Good sh*t …More info: Although young in age, Denver quartet The Congress has established itself as a musical tour-de-force across the nation since the group began touring in May 2010. In 2011, The Congress will be taking their dynamic live performance to festivals including Wakarusa, High Sierra, Tall Tree Lake, Jazz Aspen Snowmass, Groovefest and Targhee Fest. Deeply-rooted yet modern, their sound boasts a foundation in rock 'n' roll and Southern rhythm and blues, their lyrics steeped in the traditions of Virginia and the American songbook. The musicianship is rock solid, complemented by a profound songwriting partnership between lead guitarist Scott Lane and vocalist Jonathan Meadows, whose powerful tenor voice has been compared to the likes of Joe Cocker, Chris Robinson and Lowell George.The Congress' debut self-titled EP has harnessed critical acclaim since its release in March 2010, and has seen airplay on FM radio across the country, as well as on a fundraising campaign on CNN for Haitian relief. The band plans to release their first full length album in the beginning of 2012, with their new material largely focusing on their live sound – a unique brand of powerful rock 'n' roll that has been turning heads with each performance.
Who: Bob MollyWhen: TonightWhere: Alma's Only BarWhere'd the name come from? We had a pet Molly fish named Bob that passed away. AKA: Bob MollyHome base: Rollisville, COType of music you play/who are you? Fusion, rock, electronica. Bob Molly started out as hip-hop group Indigenous People, where we toured out West with the likes of Bizzy Bone and other notorious hip-hop artists. Bob Molly is a throwback to our roots of fusion and jamband music that we are most inspired by. Since starting, we have been blowing minds all over Colorado. We hope you will come join us on this crazy journey!If your music were a tangible item, what would it be, and why? Fireworks, because what we strive for is a huge explosion of lights and music that make you forget about your daily worries.Why do people love ya? Because our music is new, and we get people moving and keep it going all night.How do you keep it fresh? Our newest material is always our hottest, so that makes it easy. Also we are constantly introducing new covers that helps even the most unfamiliar of crowds find our music accessible.What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? We played some shows down in Texas, and the second we got to our hotel we were circled by the local police seven or eight times because of our "crazy" looking Colorado tour van. The cops left us alone for the time being, but when we got to our first show we realized that the production wasn't set up at all (it was supposed to be), so we had to spend hours setting up our own sound and even had an electrician wire the place for lighting. As we were waiting to perform backstage, the police found it necessary to kick the door in on us to see what we were up to. After sorting through a pouch of tobacco, they decided we were no harm. The performance went great to a large crowd, but then on our return, our van overheated in the middle of an extremely hot desert area in Texas. Fortunately we had someone with our crew who was able to fix the van enough to get us home. The van has never run again.
Who: Drew "One Sock" Reges When: 2-5 p.m. SaturdayWhere: The T-Bar, Peak 8 in Breckenridge Where'd the name come from? I'm unable to wear two socks; wanna fight about it? Home base: I consider my bathroom my sanctuary and my office. I'm in there testing the limits of my body and mind. I'm straining to push out new ways of performing reworked old classics and pinching off some new sounds along the way. Word to the wise: If you want to be No. one, make sure No. two is always behind you. Type of music: My music is touted as mere mimicry by some, but it cures blindness and paralysis for others. Who are you? I am a flightless angel sent to breathe new life into an otherwise catatonic classic music loving bar crowd, squeezing sweet harmony from my ax and littering the minds of the world with the sound of history's lyrics pressed deeply into my audible alchemy.Why do people love ya? Two words: Drew Reges rocks! How do you keep it fresh? I keep it in a mason jar under my coffee table. All kidding aside, I try to offer my audience a peek into the belly of the finely tuned machine that powers my musical mojo. I want my performances to leave you craving Skittles. What's the craziest thing you've done/weirdest experience? I can say my 19 weeks and 41 days working full time as a ventriloquist and recreationally as a gynecologist offered embarrassing mix-ups plus wild ups and downs only a speed-ball-laced Chris Farley could identify with. I'd like to leave you with this final thought on the latter: Leave it to the pros, bros.
By Lindsey Grossmanspecial to the dailyWhat: West Coast Bass Music Summit – Gladkill & Sugarpill + special guest Frequent CWhere: three20south, BreckenridgeWhen: 10 p.m. SaturdayCost: $6 advance/$8 day of show. Tickets available at Space Cowboy, Affordable Music and RMEntertainment.com.More information: (970) 547-5320The West Coast producer started off playing bass in bands before seeing the sonic light. "When I first learned about electronic music, everybody was trying to teach me how to make organic sounding instruments be digital, and it just never worked out right," Sugarpill said. "But the things that were cool that were coming out of the sampler and the digital instruments were the mistakes. And I thought if you could get the mistakes to be something musical in their own sort of way and let the computer's flaws be the things that actually draw out of it to make music, that would be a better way to go than trying to put these imperfect ways of capturing things that are already pretty good. So that's what kind of got me there in the first place."Since his first foray into electronic music, Sugarpill has become known as one of the best producers on the glitch bass scene. Self-described as "polytemponic melodo-crunky glitch bass," his sound translates into a lot of styles coming together, from electronic and sampled organic instruments to dance music with an emphasis on bass melodies.Sugarpill credits close friends and fans as a big part of the creative process. "Before I go play some place, I think about who I'm going to play for and try to write at least one or two new songs to be able to bring to them, and that kind of depends on what city I'm going to – whether I've been there before, if I know what to expect or not, and that really drives a lot the productivity that turns out to be the tracks that end up on my releases."Look for new free tracks on his website (sugarpillmusic.com) this week and an official release in February. Sugarpill teams up with the talented Gladkill for his Colorado tour dates. And like his other shows, he's planning to write a couple of new songs."Yeah, there will definitely be some brand new stuff for those kids," he said. "Should be fun."
When: 9 p.m. ThursdayWhere: three20south, BreckenridgeTickets: $11 advance, $13 day of showIf you come, they will build it. The West African-inspired band has remained passionate about the place, culture and music that brought them together. And for the past year and a half, they've been raising money to help build a music school for kids in Bamako. A surcharge from every ticket sold goes toward the music school. "We're really excited to break ground on the school as soon as we can," said percussionist Luke Quaranto. Having bonded through their shared love for West African music, Quaranto said the way they feel about it is hard to put it into words, but he does a pretty good job of it. "All of us were grabbed by it and really felt passionate about the music and really just started to play because it inspired us. It's a pretty amazing music culture that really has such a strong traditional background. It has a very long history and depth of traditional music, but at the same time it's not static in any way. There's so much contemporary music happening and artists that continue to create and grow from that tradition, but also express themselves in new ways."Toubab Krewe also continues to express themselves in new ways, having evolved their sound since the band's inception in 2005 to include styles of music they grew up with, from rock to Western North Carolina mountain music. They'll continue to develop their sound with a new album this year that they're recording in collaboration with guest artists in Mali.

Hey Guys, If you are ever as lucky as I was to find such an awsome girl, dont let her get away!
This is my way "Diggy Wiggy" friend Britt. I was able to con her into going shooting w/me and my Homies this last Jan. (yes, i just said homies, get over it)
I told her she could just watch, and she didnt have to shoot. But then once we got there, we told her we were just gonna sit there if she wouldnt let us theach her to shoot. (ahh, what nice friends we are )
Here she is:
Keep in mind at this time it was about 0 degrees F. (she had to wear 3 coats! :laughing: )
She actually did quite well for a first time shooter, not even considering the weather
I'll be "honest" she shot dang near, or more clays, than I did. (what, the cartrige co. probbably forgot to add the shot in, it happens)
Just thought I'd share that lil piece of advice.
Rockin' Pancakes,

I am an experienced upland bird hunter but a new waterfowler and am trying to learn as much as possible.
This past weekend I went on a guided snow goose hunt in Delaware. The reason we went on a guided hunt was to learn from more experienced goose hunters. We probably saw up to 200,000 birds. It was spectacular. Our guide put us in the thick of them, we had a nice spread in the middle of a cut bean field, and things were looking good. The sun came up and birds started moving. They were lined up in 50-100 goose waves, 20-30 waves deep, coming right towards our deeks. I was shaking, it was amazing. To my surprise, and to the surprise of all of us hunting actually, the guide called the first 2 shots when the first group was ~60 yards away. This scattered the entire flock, and after it happened twice the rest of the day we only got a few pairs and singles to come in and take a look.
My questions are directed to you experienced types out there. Would there have been a better way to go about this? I would have expected the guide to let the first group land, or try, or at least wait until they were around 20yds away. I would think with 50-200 live geese in the deeks they would attract more. Any ideas or comments would be really appreciated. Also, I know the deek set up for Canada's is different, but would you want to let Canada's land in the deeks? How about ducks? Finally, does anyone know of a good reference(s) for learning strategies, calling techniques, etc?

"my daughter and I both loved these! I had them overnighted cause I was last minute and they came a day early! Her classmates thought she had the best one! LovE LOVE! Can't wait to do these again next V-day"
"This card is great! I chose to have my front photo in black and white so it really made the colors of the hearts stand out. Can't wait to hand out these sweet cards."
"I just received these cards today & I was so delightfully surprised at how small they are. I must not have read the sizing & assumed they were going to be a 4x6" they are approx 2x3" didn't measure though. They are perfect for what I got them for: my daughter's class valentines & for her doctors & nursing staff. The come with high quality little envelopes perfect for giving. I also was able to add a picture inside & edit the words, colours, font & sizing. Also I was so happy to receive them a day earlier than the earliest expected to Canada on regular shipping. So glad I ordered early enough as I had really needed them to be on time. I will definitely plan to order tiny prints again for next year."
"Valentine's are adorable, I've bought them here for my boys the past few years and have always been very happy with my purchases. I placed this order on Mon. and was suppose to receive it the following Tues., but they came on Thurs., 5 days early!"
"They look exactly how I imagined they would. They were delivered very quickly and are a cute size. Only minor complaint would be that because they are sealed so tightly together, when I tried to get the packaging off it kind of dented one of them (because the paper "marks" easily with pressure). Overall, very pleased and will likely order her valentines for school next year, too."
