I have been a member of Costco and Sam's club for several years. Recently, a friend, described a program that I had never heard of called Team National to me. I don't like the idea of network marketing, MLM or home-based business schemes, but what impressed me was the savings that this program offered on everything from consumer products to things like health insurance, mortgages and financial services. From what I can tell, the program is legitimate. It hasn't been the subject of any federal or state attorney general consumer protection actions, it is publicly traded, and it has been around for the past 12 years. I had been considering joining Direct Buy; however, they wanted a $6500 membership fee in order to get their discounts. Team National discounts are substantial, and available even if you do not join their program. That's more than I can say for either Costco and Sam's Club.

"Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
Perhaps a quarter mile off the road, a small country graveyard sits at the top of a little ridge. When I spotted that old family cemetery not long after we moved here, I decided that, "one of these days," I was going to walk through it. But time flew by, as it does, and so it was five years later, when I finally stopped one day at the house below the cemetery and asked permission to visit.
The silver-haired lady who answered my knock was pleased about my interest in the graveyard. She walked to the pasture gate with me, showed me the least "washed-out" route to take up the hillside, and cautioned my sidekicks, Keely and Isaac, to beware the poison ivy around the graveyard fence.
We bounced up the hill on a trail that was obviously more traveled by cattle than vehicles. As we pulled up to the cemetery, I saw immediately that it was well-maintained and very tidy. An overgrowth of vines had made the fence into a solid wall of tangled foliage, but the grass inside was neatly cut, and the gate was in good repair. No graves were embarrassed by fallen headstones or weatherbeaten artificial flowers.

I decided that the cemetery was officially established in the 1860s or 1870s. Perhaps there were already unmarked family graves there when the first graves with tombstones were made. Looking over the cemetery fence from the hillside, I tried to imagine the valley when the blacktop road was a dirt trail, the fences were made of split rail, and the log cabins were marked by plumes of smoke. Surely the cemetery's site was chosen for its fine view in addition to its high-and-dry location.

Near the center of the cemetery, a huge stump bore witness to another tree that once grew there. It was a good six feet in diameter at its widest point. This estimate was provided by Keely who stretched out full length across it. At one time, this giant's branches must have shaded most of the little cemetery.
Keely and Isaac were impatient to return to modern life well before I finished reading the stones. When we finally drove back down the hill and closed the gate to the pasture, the little lady came out to talk again. She had been waiting for us. "Did you see anyone you knew up there?" she wanted to know.
I told her that I had recognized some of the family names, and she said that most of the people in the cemetery were from her husband's family. Had I seen this gravestone and that one? One young fellow had commited suicide after World War I. Her husband's mother was the young woman buried with twin babies. Another man and his wife had lived in a big log house that she remembered from childhood. She knew the life story beneath each headstone.
I commented on the huge tree stump, and she told me that it had been another oak tree. It had fallen in the cemetery during a windstorm, but her son had cleaned it up. Then she began to talk about her great fear -- would the cemetery be cared for in future years? Her son, in his late fifties, did all the upkeep. It seemed he was the main person who was interested. Though most of the graves "belonged" to families who still lived in the county, no one else helped with the maintenance. She had buried her husband in town a few years ago because she feared his grave wouldn't be tended up on the hillside.
|Photo by Justin A. Wilcox
When I got home that day, I wrote a short account of my visit to the cemetery on the ridge. A few days ago, I stumbled upon that little story in some old computer files, and I thought that the things I had written still spoke to my heart. I decided to edit it a little and share it. That's the story behind this story.

1950s orchid coat
Added Apr 20, 2011
by ladyshape
Edinburgh, Unite...
I designed and made this coat last summer. It is made from barkcloth which was popular (mainly for upholstery) from the 1940s until the 1960s. It is midi length and single breasted with a shawl collar in contrasting pique cotton. The same contrasting fabric forms the cuffs on the 3/4 length turn-up sleeves. There is a seperate yoke at the back which is lined in oyster satin. Under this is the main back piece which has a centred box pleat in both the bodice and skirt section. It has 3 buttons at the centre front as well as a self-fabric tie belt, and has in seam pockets in the side seams. The bodice section of the coat has french darts and the inside of the coat is lined in oyster satin.
Material Notes
Vintage print hawiian barkcloth in slate blue with cream and pink orchids. Oyster satin lining.

This is the most feminine coat I have ever sean!!! It is so well made. I adore the clean lines, that the coat is not filled up with thousand extras, but although it is very chic. I also would appreciate a pattern, if there is any possibility.

Thank you for the lovely comment. At the moment the pattern is buried in amongst a pile of books and folders so will hunt it out at some point. When I figure out how to upload patterns it is definitely a possibility. I will keep you posted.

I've seen barkcloth re-used in all sorts of ways…this has to be the best. Barkcloth has the right weight for a coat but rarely works well for a dress, a skirt or Heaven help us, a blouse. It's also over-scaled which also works against it for most garments…but you've effectively broken the rules for an outstanding coat. I hope you'll wear this for Easter…maybe with a sky blue cocktail hat and matching netting and gloves. You'll be the belle of the church!
Apr 20, 2011, 03.58 PMby lillybeeandpaul
wow stunning , the colors go so beautiful with the red hair, I love the shoes tooo (if we only could sew shoes :))

Remarkable writing! Of course, ISIS is a reincarnation of 7th Century Islam and as such it's genuine and not perverted Islam, but an apocalyptic movement no less than him Jim Jones's group, except it runs a state and collects taxes and mints coins over an area larger than the U.K. But, in numbers it's a splinter sect and very different from Islam practiced by the vast majority of the hundreds of millions of pious Muslims around the world.
......and yes, it's to our peril to not realize exactly what 7th century practice requires!
Yes, merely claiming Buddhism, Christianity or Islam are, as the PC folk insist, "Religions of a Peace" is really Interfaith or "Baby Bush" wishful and naive nonsense or else delusional thinking.
Trouble is people know more about The Kardashians,, Channel or Elvis than about the origin of religions and like to think they all must be good as we are good!
I have a longstanding deep interest in the evolution of human society and massacres, so ISIS doesn't surprise me. OTOH, besides a scant few figures, I am ignorant of stock prices or of most sports teams where my children, by contrast, can recount all the players, coaches and scores! I am essentially a social outsider, LOL!
But I can tell you what happened in all the villages in Turkish Armenia from 1915 to 1918 or discuss the flu pandemics or the nature of dying in a World War I trench covered with mustard gas! I am not a popular conversationalist, I guess!

You cite human rights as a reason why "we" shouldn't tolerate some alternative political ideologies. Yet the history of the USA is one of intolerance. Just some examples country are the destruction of Indian culture, the "verminization" of Mexicans by Trump and others, the slavery of Africans, which your authorities continue to abuse, excessively imprison, execute and shoot to this day. You are fortunate to belong to a favoured minority. People from other minorities might think differently. Outside the USA, do you really believe that your leaders think cases of "collateral damage" in Pakistan or Afghanistan rank much above vermin in importance? Sure the authorities apologize later, but the victims are still dead.
Should Canada continue to bomb ISIS with its 6 warplanes? My answer is yes in principle but not if led by the USA. The recent past suggests an unlikely Holland/Putin collaboration would be more effective than anything organized to date. And here's a bad joke that might come to pass: a future USA led by Trump, Carson, Rubio or Cruz. A Canada led by Justin - the spoiled, rich, self-entitled son of Pierre, a spoiled, rich, self-entitled father - ain't too bad. We'll muddle through regardless and probably turf him out at the next election. Will there be an ISIS version of a Montreal massacre? I hope not.
Cheers, Mike
Well written, Mike.
"Verminization" is a great word! When I grew up, the mice would approach as I studied later at night, looking for crumbs from my cheese sandwich dinner........ and the police would arrive in the morning to take me to school through a gauntlet of screaming, "Christ killer! or "Go back to Palestine!"
But what happened then does not mean the children of the guilty are guilty too. Because we intervened wrongly before does not free us of responsibility today. Yes, with ignorance arrogance we inserted ourselves in Viet Nam and Iraq decades ago. But does that mean we must abandon 10 million refugees in Syria today? Worse, because of an excuse called, "ISIS", Muslims as a whole seem to be "too risky" to take in, just as Roosevelt disallowed refuge to the Jews, sending back escapees back to Germany and the death camps. Details are different, for sure, but these are only "peculiarities" and details of the same manner of racist thinking, but set in different times.
Mike, what you write is no challenge to my way of thinking, not at all! What you point is is merely the "caveat of reality" on which our ideas for intervention have to be played out and considered.
Yes, I do feel very privileged, indeed, to be in an environment where all are equal. I am exceedingly proud that our State of California looks after it's millions of mostly Latino immigrants, giving them health care, schooling and advanced education and access to aid for dependent children on an equal basis to Whites. It does take time for immigrants to take full advantage of our rich society but we have an abundance of Latino professors, physicians, lawyers, engineers and scientists. The newly arrived struggle but they work hard and their children will have a better life, for sure. So, I must correct you. Don't chastize me for having advantages better than most, LOL! I do not and will not feel "guilty" for raising my children here, privileged to be free....... and ignorant of that dreaded gauntlet I once knew! The USA is, unlike what you hear in sensationalist papers and the news, not a racist country, but one that is in a constant struggle to be more equal.
Still, add my response to James Lemon's protest picture of Syria to provide some more of the balance of my thoughts.
We're in constant struggle. We are in a cauldron of values. On the one hand we have basic instincts for domination, exploitation and ravagement which emerge from otherwise friendly youngsters. Our aim has to be to become worthy of calling ourselves "civilized". We should be honestly celebrating diversity and promoting respect to all without exception. Our society, schools, universities, news outlets and entertainment industry constantly reflects on our own shortcomings and sets new standards to allow us to improve our record. In that, we're a fine country with the most generous people. I am very optimistic for the "Rights of Man" being fully realized in this complex polyglot society.
So you bring up Trump and his views on Mexicans! That "big mouth" is as popular as mascara and makeup on women, and as superficial! It's what's underneath that counts, the humanity and then the skills and music and nothing else. If one lacks the humanity part, then I do not seek those skills or that music.

I'm coming to a reluctant opinion that national leaders cannot possess optimistic naivety and be effective. "Peace in Our Time" Chamberlain was a prime example, unable to believe Hitler was a psychopath. Similar between Roosevelt and Stalin. Churchill had the number of both these bad guys, because (to use Nietzsche's words) he had looked into the abyss and cared not about what he became. Back to the present: Obama versus Putin: who's winning, do you think? Trudeau versus Putin: no contest. See what I mean. Cheers, Mike.

When you live in a special place, it is natural to want to share it with others. When that special place offers the charm, history, and value of Margaret Place, it deserves a website!
Here, you can learn more about the rich history of Margaret Place as well as answer the question, "Who is Margaret and why does she have a place?"
Our jewel-box neighborhood is host to 11 properties listed on the Calcasieu Historical Preservation Society's (CHPS) Landmark Properties Registry. Practically every type of Bungalow style is represented in Margaret Place! And, we have several live oak trees on the Live Oak Registry.
We may be small in numbers of residential dwellings, but we are strong in spirit and volunteerism. Witness the success of the 2012 Palm Sunday Tour of Homes we hosted in conjunction with CHPS!
The Palm Sunday Tour and the lengthy list of accomplishments outlined in the annual report for 2011-2012 would not be possible without the involvement of our residents and the support and generosity of the members of the Margaret Place Historical District, Inc. a voluntary, membership based organization. There are two membership categories:
A seven-person Board of Directors oversees the effort with assistance by volunteers and those who take part in the various committees.
Margaret Place is one of two residential historic districts in Lake Charles and is subject to the Guidelines adopted by the City with oversight by the City Historic Commission.
Upcoming meetings at City Hall
Includes meetings of the City Historic Preservation Commission, Planning and Zoning, and City Council

There's just something about a conversion story.
Some are dramatic, like St. Paul on the road to Damascus, or the deathbed conversions of the likes of John Wayne or Gary Cooper. Some are simple — brought on in the quiet of prayer or through the example of a friend. All, however, have the power to captivate and inspire.
Perhaps it's because conversion isn't something for only a few of us. Each of us is called, by God's grace, to a deeper conversion — to draw closer to Christ and his Church. Though not everyone is going to have St. Paul's "flash of light" moment, each of us has a story to tell. Even Pope Francis in his encyclical Evangelii Gaudium ("The Joy of the Gospel") reflected on the pontiff's own call to conversion:
"Since I am called to put into practice what I ask of others, I too must think about a conversion of the papacy," he wrote. "It is my duty, as the Bishop of Rome, to be open to suggestions which can help make the exercise of my ministry more faithful to the meaning which Jesus Christ wished to give it and to the present needs of evangelization" (No. 32).
For the past several years, OSV Newsweekly has highlighted the conversion stories of our readers who have converted (or re-verted) into the family of the Faith. We're continuing the tradition this year, and I invite you to submit your personal conversion stories for consideration for publication in our April 20 (Easter Sunday) In Focus.
Submissions should not exceed 250 words, and they must include the reader's name, city, state and date of entry (or re-entry) into the Church. Readers can submit stories by mail to Our Sunday Visitor Conversion Stories, 200 Noll Plaza, Huntington, IN 46750, or by email to email@example.com (please put "Conversion Stories" in the subject line). It would be preferable if readers could also include a photograph of themselves. The deadline is March 26, but early entries always are welcome.
Continuing along the theme of reader participation, we have another opportunity for your input. A few weeks ago, I wrote about an African priest who meant a great deal to me and had influenced my life considerably. In response, many of you wrote to tell me of the priests in your own lives who had helped you grow in faith. I was so touched by your comments that the newsweekly staff decided to put out an official call for our readers to share the stories of the priests who have made a positive impact on your lives. We will select the best submissions and compile them in an upcoming issue this spring.
As with the conversion stories, please keep submissions to a maximum of 250 words, and include your information, as well as the full name and parish and diocese of the priest about whom you are writing. If you are emailing, please note "Priest Profile" in the subject line. The deadline is April 16.
Questions? Email email@example.com.

New finished image titled "Light Blue"Posted by Tanya Wheeler Varga
Hey everyone. I hope you all had a wonderful New Years!!
Here is my latest finished work that I painted during my free time on New Years. It started off as a simple lighting and color study which turned into a finished painting. I really wanted to push the realism with this one. I really loved these colors as well since I have been working with a lot of pinks, yellows and oranges lately in my previous work. It was refreshing to work with these cool blues and violets.
Painted using Photoshop and Painter.
Here is a little close-up as well.
Thanks for visiting :)

The Freedom From Religion Foundation is asking for your help in persuading the School District of Pickens County Board of Trustees, S.C., to drop prayers to begin its monthly meetings.
FFRF Staff Attorney Patrick Elliott sent a letter to the District on Nov. 26, 2012, protesting the school board's egregious practice of opening meetings with prayer led by students, which included sectarian references to the "Holy Spirit" and "Jesus."
(Our letter sent the religious community into a tizzy. Scroll to the end for links to TV news and other media coverage!)
At its Feb. 25, 2013 meeting, the Pickens County school board voted preliminarily to begin meetings with "nonsectarian" prayers by adults from the district. Elliott points out this new policy would still violate the rights of conscience of students and parents who are nonreligious or religious minorities.
Federal courts of appeals examining the issue of school board prayer have found such prayer — even nonsectarian — to be unconstitutional. As part of the public school system, school boards must set an example of respect and conform to law protecting children from the coercion of school-sponsored religion.
The Pickens County school board should get in line with the U.S. Constitution and stop alienating the 19 percent of American adults who have no religious affiliation. One in three young people today identify as nonreligious and one in five adults (Pew Forum on Religion in Public Life, October 2012).
"Calling upon board members, as well as parents and students of the school, to pray is coercive, embarrassing, and beyond the scope of our secular school system," Elliott said.
The Pickens County Board of Trustees will meet next on Monday, March 25, 2013, to vote to finalize its policy of beginning each meeting with prayer.
Urge the board to follow the Constitution, and remove the divisive prayers from their meetings. (see Talking Points below)

Feel free to use your own words or use or incorporate the statement below:
To avoid the constitutional concerns and the divisiveness school board prayers create, the solution is simple: discontinue them.
Nonsectarian prayer sends an inappropriate proselytizing message to all students, and excludes the nonreligious — the second-largest segment today in America by religious identification.
Calling upon school board members, students, parents and residents to pray is coercive, embarrassing and beyond the scope of your secular public school district. Board of Education members are free to worship on their own time in their own way. Nonbelieving students and religious minorities should not be made to feel like political outsiders by their own school district. Nor should any school district send a message to students that they ought to believe in a deity or show obeisance to one.
I support a secular public school system.

Last moments of man killed by police at Red Rock captured on video
Two men observing a police stop Friday watched in growing disbelief and then horror as the seemingly routine incident turned deadly when a federal ranger shot a man inside a state trooper's patrol car.
One of the men recorded video with his cellphone as a Bureau of Land Management ranger shot and killed D'Andre Berghardt Jr., 20, near the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
"Oh my God, they just shot him," the man filming said after realizing what had happened.
The exclusive video, enhanced for clarity, was posted Monday on reviewjournal.com.
Berghardt, from Los Angeles, had been hailing cyclists as he walked along state Route 159 near Calico Basin, about 20 miles from downtown Las Vegas. Two cyclists reported the man to officials at the Red Rock visitor center at about noon.
The video, shot from a car stopped on the highway, shows two rangers holding Berghardt at gunpoint for several minutes as onlookers watch from cars and bicycles. Berghardt doesn't appear to threaten the rangers, but remains on his feet, apparently disobeying their orders. He didn't appear to carry a weapon.
Several minutes into the confrontation, one ranger sprays Berghardt with pepper spray. Berghardt stumbles and grabs his face, but the rangers don't arrest him.
"It's really interesting that they just haven't kind of grabbed him. I guess they really want him to be compliant before they (arrest him)," says the man filming.
"Yeah, it doesn't look like he's being very erratic. They should have just grabbed him," the other man replies.
Berghardt pulls off his overshirt, turns his back to the rangers and walks toward a row of cars as they follow. As Berghardt nears an onlooker's truck, one of the rangers kicks Berghardt and tries to detain him. But Berghardt throws a punch at the ranger, fighting him off.
A Nevada Highway Patrol trooper arrives as Berghardt dashes behind a truck and out of the camera's view. The three officers chase him as the video cuts away. The man doing the taping briefly turned off the camera because he believed the incident was over, one of the witnesses said Monday.
"At first we thought, with the NHP showing up, that it would end pretty shortly," said Robbie, who asked to be known only by his first name. "Then we felt the intensity had increased and that's why we turned the video back on."
The video returns with both rangers on top of Berghardt in the roadway, the trooper off to the side. But Berghardt somehow escapes from the rangers' grasp, pushes away the trooper, and bolts for the trooper's patrol car.
"Why don't they just cuff him and be done with it?" one of the men in the video asks. "They keep letting him get up and run away."
The trooper points either his firearm or a TASER at Berghardt, but then backs away as Berghardt briefly stomps toward him. Berghardt hurries to the driver's side of the trooper's SUV and climbs inside as the trooper slams the door on him.
The camera jerks to the left as the rangers, who had apparently deferred to the trooper, reach the driver's side of the car. As the camera stabilizes, a ranger wearing dark pants fires eight or nine shots from his handgun into the trooper's car.
Authorities haven't officially commented on the case, but the Review-Journal has learned that the officers say Berghardt grabbed for the trooper's AR-15, which was locked in a gun rack in the car.
The witnesses in the video express shock as the shooting occurs.
"These cops are not taking the prerogative to …"
"Dude, they just shot him. They just killed the dude. Holy s***. They just killed him."
"You know what's ridiculous about this is, they never grabbed him. They could have grabbed him. They kept letting him get up."
The video also shows the trooper take a few steps back, lowering his head and putting his hands on his knees.
One of the men in the video acknowledges the threat if Berghardt had gained access to the car.
"Well, there's a gun in that Highway Patrol car," one of the men in the car is heard saying. "And they probably thought he was gonna get it."
"They had him on the ground," the other says. "I don't know why they didn't just jump on him and pin him!"
"You know, unless they thought he had something on him, but it didn't look like it to me."
"It's redneck justice."
Berghardt died at the scene. His name was released by the Clark County coroner's office on Sunday, but little has been forthcoming from the police agencies involved. The Highway Patrol has said nothing since the day of the shooting.
Trooper Loy Hixson, a Highway Patrol spokesman, said Friday the officers "felt their lives were in danger," but he never specified a reason. None of the officers have been named.
Hixson didn't return a call seeking comment on Monday.

JABacchetta needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 1046 designs submitted by 306 freelance designers.
Create a logo that will be recognized by men around the world.
We will be publishing a full article close to launch date - highlighting the designers of this new magazine.
This will include the logo and website designer - a short bio of each with pics posted.
100% optional of course.
The Rugged
I'm looking for a logo that is versatile. I'm launching TheRugged.com as a men's online magazine, but eventually, I may want to venture out into other men's services/products - such as cologne, designer clothes, etc.
My target audience is men ages 18-49.
Definition of "rugged":
Sturdy and strong in constitution or construction; enduring
Severely testing stamina or resolution
Vigorous; robust; hardy; -- said of health, physique, etc.
Demanding great effort, ability, or endurance
Capable of enduring hardship, wear, etc.; strong and tough
I chose the word "rugged" because it's very manly, as you can see from the definitions. Please keep in mind, that I'm NOT targeting the outdoors niche, such as hunting, etc.
My aim is men that are metro. Think David Beckham - a guy that likes to wear designer clothes, drive nice cars, be with beautiful women, etc. But he also isn't afraid to get dirty and physical...he plays soccer, goes to the gym, etc.
Magazine Topics:
Health & Fitness
Power & Money
Sex & Relationships
Tech Toys.
I would like the word "Rugged" to be the strong point of the logo. Eventually, my goal is to purchase Rugged.com - so when creating the logo, the word "the" shouldn't be the focus point. This can be done a number of ways - small letters, running it down the side or on top of the logo, etc. I'll leave the creativity to you.
Here is the template I'm using for the site:
There will be some customization, but for the most part, that's exactly what the site will look like. Hopefully, this helps to give you a feel of the brand I want to put out there.
Tagline: Men Live It, Women Love It
Would also like a version showing how you would place the ".com" in the logo - for offline advertising (t-shirts, etc).
I guess we'll find out!

HarmonKaslow necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 9 diseños de 4 diseñadores freelance.
I am an entrepreneur with a great concept for a revolutionary homepage for "busy" people.
Initially, this webpage will be available to entertainment (motion picture industry) executives ... by invitation only ... delivering to them "community" (in this case the common interest is the entertainment industry) specific content (including industry specific search) in a predictable and dynamic way.
The users will have a low level of tech savvy ... so the site must be user friendly.
I want a "clean" easy to read "home page" that has a "smart" and intuitive layout to provide information.
Since the content on the page will be updated regularly, the design must lend itself to modular programming.
My initial concept is something like the following ... but I am open for a more creative / sensible design ...
The page should have 4 columns ...
The top of the page should be divided into 2 columns with one column for "Tweets" and the second column (with 2 rows) for streaming info ... column one, for example, would have tracking info including Box Office results, local sports scores, stock prices ... and the 2nd row would have "headlines" or breaking news.
The remainder of the page would have 4 columns ... from left to right as follows:
1. An archive split into Day ... followed by (e.g. under Day) - Week ... followed by Month ...
2 - 3 - 4 ... columns 2 and 4 should be smaller (less wide) than 3 ... and would feature a form of "content" ... e.g. Column 2 might be titled "Business News" ... Column 3 might be titled "Industry News" ... and Column 4 might be titled "Financial News".
Column 4 will have a small box above it ... titled "Black Hole" for a search function ...

by Tom Utescher
In last week's best-of-three-games final series in the NCAA Summer League, Team Lime Green clinched its third straight championship in two straight games, although the second victory came much harder than the first. The three-time champs are coached by Ted Hagedorn and Tom Freedman, and the roster includes Hagedorn's daughter, Elle, a former Mount St. Joseph Academy star heading into her senior year at Harvard University.
The team was actually known as "Kelly Green" last summer, but this year the players were back in the Lime Green jerseys that they wore in their 2010 championship run.
On Tuesday night, the Limeys got on a roll in the 2012 series opener, taking down second-seeded Team Black, 85-54. The following evening, Black was still within five points of the defending champs with under three minutes left to play, then Lime reinforced its lead in the final phase, winning 66-56 to retain the league crown.
Including the playoff quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, Lime Green finished with an overall record of 15-0, with an 11-0 regular-season mark that included a 76-57 victory over Team Black (9-2 regular season).
Game one began with the first of Meg Pearson's four three-pointers helping to launch Lime Green towards a 7-0 lead. However, seven minutes into the action it looked like the contest could develop into a pitched battle as post players Kerry Kinek (14 points total), Emily Leer (11), and Stephanie Schultz (10) brought Black back within two points of the leaders at 17-15.
The last two points in this rally had come on free throws by Rachel Roberts (10 points), but after this, Team Black struggled both in the shooting and rebounding departments, and didn't score again for more than five minutes.
During this span, Lime's Liz Sharlow sank a three-pointer and a lay-up and fellow forward Dana Mitchell provided a midrange jumper and two free throws. A trey from the left corner by Jenn Prine capped off a 16-0 surge for the number one seed before Black's Schultz stuck a "J" from the right wing to break the drought.
The Black bunch never really got back in contention as Lime's transition offense began to click and they built a 20-point halftime lead at 48-28. The two seed was not lacking in large bodies, but the quick hands and reflexes of some of Lime's smaller players, including MSJ grad Hagedorn, produced rebounds and strips that resulted in a number of one-shot offensive trips for Black.
Kinek (a first-team all-state player from Allentown Central Catholic who's bound for Lehigh) came on to score six of her team's first nine points of the second half. Although Black shaved just two points off its deficit over the first five minutes, Lime seemed to lack some of its former fire, and called time-out with the count at 55-37.
Coming out of the break, Sharlow and Katie O'Reilly touched off an 18-2 run that effectively put the game out of reach for Team Black. The scoring spree included three pointers by Kuester (two) and Pearson, who each finished with four triples for the evening. Before Black put up the final six points in the game, the score was 85-48.
Although Kuester stood out with her 22 points, it actually was a well-balanced effort for the winners, who received additional double-digit performances from Prine (15), Pearson (14), Sharlow (12) and Mitchell (11). Alicia Manning scored seven points and O'Reilly finished with four.
The Black team stepped up its rebounding the following night, and exhibited much better ball movement on offense while tightening up its set defense. This all contributed to a contest that was competitive the whole way.
Nevertheless, Black was playing catch-up almost the entire time, falling behind after leading 3-2 in the second minute. Mitchell had opened the scoring in the game, then Black's Leer (giving a much stronger performance than in game one) nudged her team ahead with a short jumper and a free throw. A Kuester lay-up then touched off a 13-2 spree for Lime Green that featured three-pointers by Pearson, Hagedorn, and Sharlow. That made it 15-5, and later, with a little over nine minutes left in the first half, the gap was still at 10 points, 28-18.
Two inside buckets by Leer and a baseline jumper by guard Ashley Wood rallied the Black franchise, who later got a three-pointer and a shorter jumper from Roberts, Leer's teammate at Villanova University (where Lime's Pearson and Devon Kane also play). This resurgence got the league's second seed back within four points, 33-29, about four minutes before the end of the half.
A lay-up and a 15-footer by Mitchell, along with single free throws by her and Kuester, helped Lime Green gain a little more breathing room at the break, when the tally was 39-31. Kuester had nine points in the book, but the overall scoring leader was Sharlow, with an even dozen.
Jasmine Elum, a guard for Team Black who played for Bethune Cookman University last winter, notched 13 of her game-high 16 points in the second half. Elum, the all-time leading scorer out of Philly's Bodine High School, scored on a fast break, converted an offensive rebound, and added a pair of free throws over the initial eight minutes, helping her ballclub pare Lime Green's lead down to just three-points, 47-44.
On consecutive possessions, Lime's Pearson hit a lay-up off an inbounds play and then bagged a "three" to get the leaders out of immediate danger. One of her teammates, Prine, registered all seven of her points for the night in the second period, including a breakaway lay-up that set the score at 59-48 with five-and-a-half minutes remaining.
Elum led one last meaningful charge for Team Black, sandwiching a "three" and a flawless one-and-one around one free throw by teammate Kinek. The foul that sent Elum to the line also happened to be the fourth personal on Lime's Kuester. When the Bodine grad converted with 2:59 on the ticker, the count was 59-54.
Prine popped a big three-pointer from the right wing, then Sharlow hit the second of two free throws and Pearson scored again off an inbounds play. That took the leaders into the final minute with a 65-54 advantage, and a lay-up by Elum and a foul shot by Kuester locked in the final score.
Another balanced scoring effort for the league champs saw Sharlow's 13 points backed up by 12 from Pearson and 11 apiece from Kuester and Mitchell. Prine and Hagedorn each put up seven points, and O'Reilly added five.
Team Black's points were also well-distributed, with 16 from Elum, 14 from Leer, a dozen from Roberts, and 10 from Kinek. Schultz's four points completed the total for the league runner-up.
In all, players with local connections appeared on six different teams in the league this summer, and as usual, even those on squads which were not title contenders enjoyed the experience. The success of this highly popular enterprise is due in no small part to the efforts of league commissioner David Kessler, who worked for many years in the Philadelphia Department of Parks and Recreation before retiring in 2009.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (Nov. 7, 2013) – The ETSU women's basketball team will begin the 2013-14 regular season with a trip across the state to Memphis to take on the Memphis Tigers on Friday, Nov. 8, at 5 p.m. inside Elma Roane Fieldhouse.
The Brittney Ezell era for women's basketball at ETSU will officially begin with a nonconference matchup against cross-state foe Memphis on Friday evening in Memphis. The Buccaneers enter play against the Tigers after an exhibition matchup vs. Shepherd University on Saturday, Nov. 2, inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletics Center. The game saw the hot-shooting Rams take a 55-51 lead into halftime. ETSU then turned it up a notch in the second period and after tying the game with roughly 16 minutes left, blew Shepherd away for the duration of the contest en route to a 116-82 victory.The Blue and Gold featured six players scoring in double-figures including junior forward Serena Clark (Stone Mountain, Ga.) with a game-high 19 points.
The matchup versus Memphis will be the 12th all-time meeting between the two teams; a series in which UM holds an 8-3 advantage. The Bucs and Tigers met last season on Nov. 30 when the Blue and Gold bested Memphis 83-73 inside the Dome.
For more on Friday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
The ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2013-14 season under the guidance of first-year head coach Ezell. A two-sport star in basketball and softball at the University of Alabama, Ezell comes to ETSU after spending three seasons as head coach at Belmont University where she compiled a 41-52 overall record. The Franklin, Tenn. native takes the reigns of a veteran-heavy team that returns nine letterwinners from an 8-18 overall 2012-13 campaign. Among the nine returnees are six players who started 10 or more games last season. Highlighted among the returnees is last year's team-leading scorer and rebounder Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) who led the way with 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game.

Mitchell on the Cusp of 1,000 career points

Before being slowed by injury in the final third of the 2012-13 regular season, she was on pace to break the 1,000-point mark near the end of February as she registered 347 points as a freshman and 367 points as a sophomore for 714 total points.
