November 6 – Happy Birthday Chad Curtis
Curtis had three productive seasons in pinstripes from 1997 through 1999 as the team's top reserve outfielder. His two home runs in the third game of the 1999 World Series, which included a bottom-of-the-tenth-inning walk-off blast, helped the Yankees sweep the Braves. Born in Marion, IN in 1968, Chad may have had one problem not too many Yankees have experienced during the past 14 years. The rumor was that he and Derek Jeter did not like each other. His problems with the Yankees' all-time hit leader stemmed from Jeter's behavior during an August 1999 game between New York and Seattle. There was a brawl between the two teams during the game and instead of getting in the middle of it, Jeter and the Mariners' Alex Rodriguez stayed off to the side of the action, pretty much making believe they were holding onto each other. Curtis thought Jeter should have worked harder to defend his teammates during the melee and told the shortstop that not once but twice after the incident including once in the Yankee locker room within earshot of reporters. Jeter did not appreciate the criticism and from that point onward, barely spoke to Curtis again. Yankee management then made sure that Jeter would not have to go out of his way to avoid or ignore Curtis any longer when they traded the outfielder to Texas after that 1999 World Series.
This former Yankee starting pitcher and this other Yankee outfielder both share Curtis's November 6th birthday.

web2ldap is a full-featured Web-based LDAPv3 client written in Python. It is designed to run either as with stand-alone built-in Web server or under the control of another Web server with FastCGI support (e.g. Apache with mod_fastcgi). It has support for various LDAPv3 bind methods and a powerful built-in schema browser. HTML templates are supported for displaying and editing entries, and LDIF templates can be used for quickly adding new entries. A built-in X.509 parser displays a detailed view of certificates and CRLs with active links.
cryptmount is a utility for creating and managing secure filing systems on GNU/Linux systems. After initial setup, it allows any user to mount or unmount filesystems on demand, solely by providing the decryption password, with any system devices needed to access the filing system being configured automatically. A wide variety of encryption schemes (provided by the kernel dm-crypt system and the libgcrypt library) can be used to protect both the filesystem and the access key. The protected filing systems can reside in either ordinary files or disk partitions. The package also supports encrypted swap partitions, and automatic configuration on system boot-up.
LDAP Account Manager (LAM) is a web frontend for managing entries (e.g. users, groups, DHCP settings) stored in an LDAP directory. LAM was designed to make LDAP management as easy as possible for the user. It abstracts from the technical details of LDAP and allows persons without technical background to manage LDAP entries. If needed, power users may still directly edit LDAP entries via the integrated LDAP browser.
ZABBIX is an enterprise-class distributed monitoring solution designed to monitor and track performance and availability of network servers, devices, and other IT resources. It supports distributed and Web-based monitoring, auto-discovery, real-time monitoring, SLA assurance, trending, and more.

You can use it to build a database with an inventory for your company (computers, software, printers, etc.). It has functions to make the daily life of the administrators easier, including a job/request tracking system with mail notification and methods to build a database with basic information about your network topology. It provides a precise inventory of all the technical resources (all their characteristics are stored in a database) and management and history of the maintenance actions and the bound procedures. It is dynamic and is directly connected to the users, who can post requests to the technicians.
NetXMS is a network monitoring and management system with a modular architecture. It can be used for monitoring an entire IT infrastructure, starting with SNMP-capable hardware (like switches and routers) and ending with applications on servers. The system has a three-tier architecture; the information is collected by monitoring agents (either its own agents or SNMP agents) and delivered to the monitoring server for processing and storing, where it can be accessed by using the management console. It features centralized configuration and centralized agent upgrades.


text: White Material27 March Wednesday, 19:00Director: Claire DenisCast: Isabelle Huppert, Christopher Lambert, Isaach De BankoléFrance, 106', 2009, colorFrench with Turkish subtitles In White Material, the great contemporary French filmmaker Claire Denis, known for her restless, intimate dramas, introduces an unforgettably crazed character. Played ferociously by Isabelle Huppert, Maria is an entitled white woman living in Africa, desperately unwilling to give up her family's crumbling coffee plantation despite the civil war closing in on her. Created with Denis' signature full-throttle visual style, which places the viewer in the center of the maelstrom, White Material is a gripping evocation of the death throes of European colonialism and a fascinating look at a woman lost in her own mind.

Thirty-five kids participated in a celebration of Kwanzaa at the 14th Street Community Center Thursday evening. Maureen Cadogan volunteered time to work with the group of youth, to teach them about the meaning of Kwanzaa.
Founded by Dr. Maulana Karenga in 1966, Kwanzaa is celebration which honors African heritage in African-American culture, which lasts seven days beginning Dec. 26 until Jan. 1. It is celebrated throughout the United States, Canada, and in the Western African Diaspora.
The youth listened as Cadogan shared her knowledge of Kwanzaa, and her personal experiences regarding it.
Kwanzaa was created by Karenga to introduce and reinforce seven basic values of African culture which contribute to building and reinforcing family, community and culture among African American people as well as Africans throughout the world African community.
"I am just here to teach the kids about Kwanzaa. Some kids have never participated in it, nor celebrated it. So, we want all that can, and will to be celebrants of Kwanzaa," Cadogan said.
Cadogan, who is the wife of Anthony Cadogan, and mother of Gerald, Nathaniel, and Marlita, said her family has kept Kwanzaa for more than 23 years.
Cadogan taught the children about the Seven Principles or Nguzo Saba of Kwanzaa, which consist of Umoja, which is unity, Kujichagulia, self-determination, Ujima, collective work and responsibility, Ujamaa, cooperative economics, nia or purpose, Kuumba which is creativity, and Imani, which is faith.
"The principles of Kwanzaa are principles for life that can contribute to their well being," Cadogan said.
Although Kwanzaa originated as a celebration for people of African heritage, Cadogan said Kwanzaa transcends any and all racial barriers.
"I asked the kids, how many of you have been told that you are nothing, that you will never amount to anything and that you are stupid and dumb?" Cadogan said.
She said she was taken aback by the number of children that raised their hands in response to her question.
"Ninety-nine percent of the children raised their hands, and I saw a couple of tears—that was heart-wrenching," Cadogan said.
Cadogan instructed the group to look at the Seven Principles of Kwanzaa everyday, to find encouragement, hope and belief in themselves.
"Don't let anything negative that people say to you take you down, but rise above and so the principle of the day is Kujichagulia, which is self-determination, you determine where you want to be, not others" Cadogan said.
Ornaments with bearing the words of the Seven Principles were placed upon a Christmas tree by some of the children in the group, and the completion of handouts sheets, also revealing the principles for the children to color and take home.
The event was concluded with one of the traditions of Kwanzaa feast prepared by Mary Nelson, the operating manager of the 14th Street Community Center.

How about following the last Main Stage act on a given night, you hook up a classic Dead show to the speakers and just let it play? My buddy and I always say, usually following DSO, how much we'd love to kick back in a lawn chair and just follow a classic '73 show being played over the speakers.
You could even have fans send in their picks and choose the most popular entry.....

Another one to consider: Manzerak touring as "The Doors" for a Main Stage Act or latenight. Technically not a tribute, since they really are 2/3 of the Doors but with a new singer. Impressive.

Sorry Rex, your place in the records books is fading away.
Hey everybody, did you know John Calipari plays freshman a lot? I bet you didn't. But see, I pay attention to things like this. And I pay attention to the record books as well. And I am amazed how drastically the record books have changed under the John Calipari administration. OK, not really the entire record books, but the FRESHMAN record books for sure. Take a look at some of the freshman records and how they have changed in the 4 short years John Calipari has been the coach:
Freshman Points pre-Calipari
1. Rex Chapman- 464
2. Chris Mills- 459
3. Sam Bowie- 440
Freshman Points post-Calipari
1. Brandon Knight- 657
2. John Wall- 616
3. Terrence Jones- 595
4. Demarcus Cousins- 575
5. Anthony Davis- 567
6. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist- 476
7. Doron Lamb- 469
8. Archie Goodwin- 466
9. Chapman
10. Mills
Freshman Rebounds pre-Calipari
1. Chris Mills- 277
2. Sam Bowie- 276
3. Rick Robey- 214
Freshman Rebounds post-Calipari
1. Anthony Davis- 415
2. Demarcus Cousins- 375
3. Terrence Jones- 336
4. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist- 297
5. Mills
6. Bowie
Freshman Assists pre-Calipari
1. Dirk Minnefield- 126
2. Rajon Rondo- 118
3. Rex Chapman- 103
Freshman Assists post-Calipari
1. John Wall- 241
2. Marquis Teague- 191
3. Brandon Knight- 159
4. Minnifield
5. Rondo
What strikes me the most about that is how much we criticized Archie Goodwin for his freshman year. The kid is selfish and takes horrible shots and on and on. Consider this: ARCHIE GOODWIN TOOK LESS SHOTS THAN REX CHAPMAN IN EACH MAN'S FRESHMAN SEASON. You think Goodwin was a ball hog, what about Chapman? And people consider Chapman's freshman season to be legendary, while Goodwin was some kind of bust. And don't think Chapman's freshman team was so great and that's why people love him. His 1987 team was bounced in the first round of both the SEC Tournament and the NCAA Tournament.
My point is 2 fold: that we look at freshman basketball players at UK in a completely different light. Some would call it an unfair light. And second, the performance of the freshman in 4 years at Kentucky is something that is unheard of in college basketball, and certainly in Lexington. And I think even more unheard of or appreciated than UK fans are doing.

Looking to buy a new home? Got about $190 million to spend? Oh boy, I have just the place for you…
Copper Beech Farm in Greenwich, Connecticut, named for the large copper beech trees populating the property, is on the market for the first time in over a century. The 50-acre property includes two offshore islands, a private beach and a 13,500-square foot Victorian mansion home. The main house, seen in the photo, includes 12 bedrooms, seven full baths and two half baths, a wood-paneled library, other cool stuff with fancy words and a kitchen with something Forbes.com calls a dumb waiter. As someone who was called a "dumb waiter" several times throughout college, I find it odd that a house as extravagant as Copper Beech Farm would proudly boast having one inside. I wonder if it shows up 15 minutes late every morning and steals french fries and bacon strips out of the window, too.
Outside the main structure, you will find two conjoined heptagonal pools, whatever that means, and other outdoor amenities that rich people enjoy to show off once a year and not use. There is a grass tennis court, an apple orchard, multiple greenhouses — because everyone needs more than one greenhouse — and a viewing pergola, which to my understanding is the uppity word for gazebo. Not to mention, it's just a short segway ride away from the WWE headquarters.
Built in 1896, Copper Beech Farm now holds the title of "America's Most Expensive Home" and can be yours for just under $200-million. If you purchase it, I'd like to go ahead and ask to be your dumb waiter. My only request is that I get an apple a day and an occasional 15-minute break in the viewing pergola.
Well, well, well, you're back for another edition of the News and Views. I guess we'll start with biggest news of the week and that is the likelihood Nerlens Noel ends up in Cleveland this summer. DraftExpress.com, that site ran by the guy who hates Kentucky fans, released its updated mock draft Thursday and Nerlens is projected to go No. 1 overall. Draft Express has had Nerlens at the top of its mock drafts for months now so it isn't shocking to see him up there in the first updated mock draft since the selection order was announced.
Coming in at No. 30 is Archie Goodwin to the Phoenix Suns. Draft Express believes Archie will hear his named called with the final pick in the first round. NBADraft.net, on the other hand, predicts Archie falling to the second round to Detroit with the 38th pick. But NBADraft.net also projects Ben McLemore going first to Cleveland. Dion Waiters much?
If you didn't get a chance to read Mrs. Tyler's A Look At What Coaches Do The Best With Elite 5 Star Recruits Thursday afternoon, I highly recommend you do it now. She put a lot of work into the post and it shows. Her discovery: Calipari is the best at getting players ready for the NBA.
Also from the In Case You Missed It cabinet, Matthew Mitchell was brilliant on the radio show Thursday morning. Coach Mitchell brought the heat for two full hours with tales of Nick Saban blowing him off, wanting his wife to give birth at Big Blue Madness, Hall & Oates and so much more. Check out the podcast here.
Julius Mays worked out at the Brooklyn Nets' NBA combine on Thursday and he was surprised with a visit from John Calipari. Cal flew up to the BK to watch Julius in the league-wide combine:
Following Mays' workout, Coach Cal tweeted, "Just got done watching Julius Mays at the Nets' combine. Julius played really well — and he played point guard! Julius had 18 points and six assists in just two 12-minute quarters. He played so well that people are probably wondering why I didn't play him at point guard. Couldn't be more proud of Julius."
It's very unlikely that Mays ends up on an NBA roster next season but it's good to hear he played well when up against other NBA prospects in front of personnel from all of the league's teams. I think we can file this one under "Kentucky Effect."
Anthony Davis received an invite to attend Team USA mini-camp in Las Vegas in late July. Coach K, who announced he'll return to the team, invited Davis back after seeing the way he made the most of his opportunity on last year's Olympic team. Coach K plans to focus on developing the best talent into the best team, something he says he hasn't had time to do in the past. Whatever that means.
The Cincinnati Bearcats baseball team raised the bar on postgame interview photo-bombing:
A bit of sad news from UK athletics: UK Men's Tennis was bounced from the NCAA Tournament on Thursday. Our man Anthony Rossi fell in singles play to some guy from Cal Poly and the dynamic duo of Tom Jomby/Kevin Lai saw their seasons come to an end in a doubles loss to Georgia State. Rossi finishes his career with 106 wins, tied for 12th all-time, but everyone else from our third favorite UK team is returning for another season.
Friday is a big day for Kentucky Sports Radio as Matt and I will be deep in the heart of Floyd County to meet Charles Ramsey at Eric C. Conn's law office. It could be the most absurd thing we've ever done (that's saying something) and you won't want to miss it. Charles will be on the show with us from 11:15 to 11:45 before the unveiling of the Charles Ramsey statue. What is life right now?
A few weeks ago I wrote on here about how this is going to be the "Summer of Transition" on KSR as we move to some new endeavors and expand what we do on this site. We are very excited about the changes and looking forward to announcing new additions to the site in the months to come. One of those additions is bringing on some new writers, a couple of which are names from the past (BTI and John Wilkinson), some new names you don't yet know and a couple of folks you do know that you will be excited (and surprised) to see in the KSR environment.
But along with that, it is time to once again cast a net and add some new writers to the KSR family from our readership. It has now been 2 1/2 years since our last blogger contest and in these 30 months, we have not added on any new writers from outside the KSR world or the KSR College environment. This summer that changes. Over time, the most important names at KSR have come from either the Blogger contest or writing on separate blogs and then joining Kentucky Sports Radio. Now we will set out to look for the new Beisner, Drew Franklin and Tyler Thompson from our KSR Readership. So we are asking you, do you have what it takes to write for KSR.
Here is What We are Looking For:
1. Creative Writers to Cover UK Sports: You know the KSR style. Do you think you can do it? If so, we would like to read your submission. If you decide to apply for one of these positions, make sure and let us know what sports you would focus on and what you consider your expertise. Remember, most will say basketball and football, so if you have an interest in another area, please let us know. You can be any age, any walk of life and have any profession…just a desire and ability to write at a high level about Kentucky sports.
2. College Students: Many of our best writers have come from KSR College and we are continuing another year of that starting in August. The form of KSR College will alter slightly and the posts will be integrated into the main site as part of the redesign. But if you are interested in joining the KSR College group, you should apply for this position. This involves actual covering of UK games, press conferences and events (last year writers from KSR College were able to cover the John Calipari Fantasy Camp). We prefer to have students who can be in the Lexington area for events, although this is not required. If you are a college student, this is the best position to apply for and we have had a number of writers coming from KSR College land full time sports reporting jobs after their time with us.
3. Creative non-UK Sports Writers: Part of our new endeavor will be to create a "Culture" page, similar to what Bill Simmons has done with Grantland that will include writing beyond the world of UK sports. Some of our best writers, such as Tomlin, Drew and others will be writing extensively here. If you think you are particularly capable of writing about interesting, non-UK topics (movies, politics, pop culture, long features), this is the position for you and you can be part of building a spin-off phase of KSR going forward.
These are the three main types of writers we are now seeking. We are adding a KSR Photographer, but she has already been picked and will be joining us in June. What we are looking for now are great writers and I know you are out there. If you come down this path, it can literally change your career, just as it did for Thomas Beisner, Drew Franklin and Tyler Thompson. And now is the time for you to try as as well.
To Apply, EMAIL firstname.lastname@example.com with this information:
— Reference in SUBJECT OF THE EMAIL as to which position/s you are interested in
— A couple of paragraphs on who you are, where you live, what you do for a living, why you are interested…a biographical look at the person applying. Make sure to use this as a time to sell us on you as it will be (at least until we interview you) our only chance to know who you are as a person.
— At least 2 WRITING SAMPLES OF YOUR WORK. This can be created specifically for this application or something you have done elsewhere. But we are interested in seeing your writing ability.
— Contact information and schedule availability. If you are chosen, how often, and when, would you be available to write.
Our vision is that you will join us as a secondary hobby to whatever career you are pursuing now, but with the possibility of advancement, just as other KSR writers have done before. We need your submission by TUESDAY MAY 28 at 5 PM. We will spend some time reviewing the applications and then be in touch by mid-June. This is an exciting time for KSR and we are eager to pursue the next phase of the site's growth this summer. We hope to have you a part of it and look forward to reading your submissions. Thanks!
As part of the never-ending quest to bring you University of Kentucky news in the most ridiculous manner possible, I comb the Twitter-verse each week for the funniest, oddest, and sometimes, nearly illegible tweets from your favorite players and personalities. Basically, I read Twitter so you don't have to. Without further ado, here are the best tweets of the week.
It is impossible not to look at this and smile. I dare you:
Miss you boys.

For all of the scuttlebutt about John Calipari only bringing players to Kentucky's campus for a one-season layover before entering the NBA, the list of players who have played in Lexington under Calipari includes plenty who have captured our hearts and left a legacy both on and off the court. Some have managed to do both, showering the Kentucky fans with success and things to love both on and off the court. Others have excelled in either one area or the other. A few have done a bit of both, but neither necessarily to the maximum. And finally, a handful have left Kentucky fans with an empty feeling, or major question marks about "what could have been?"
I've used a 5-star ranking system below to break down the players who have played under John Calipari in his time at Kentucky. Most of them are what I would call "Cal guys," but a few were holdovers who Cal inherited from Billy Gillispie. Either way, the players are broken down into 5 categories based on the legacy they left with Kentucky fans. The factors that contribute to the on the court legacy are based upon wins, tournament success and individual success. The factors that contribute to the off the court legacy include connection with the fan base and community, and personality.
**Disclaimer: This ranking system is only considering the Calipari Era players. In the overall history of Kentucky basketball, these players might not be rated quite as highly…
Beloved off the court AND a national champion
Anthony Davis
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Darius Miller
Only 3 Calipari era players fully embody being both beloved off the court AND experiencing the highest level of success on the court. All 3 of these players hold a special place in the hearts of Kentucky fans regardless of the championship or not. The fact that all 3 were key contributors to a national championship puts them over the top and into the 5-star category.
Either beloved on/off the court OR unexpected success on the court
Brandon Knight
DeAndre Liggins
Josh Harrellson
Nerlens Noel
DeMarcus Cousins
Patrick Patterson
John Wall
While all of these guys are 4-stars in my opinion, they can be broken down into more specific categories. DeAndre Liggins and Josh Harrellson stole the hearts of Kentucky fans when they stepped up to the plate to become 2 integral pieces in a surprise Final 4 run. Neither player achieved early success when Billy Gillispie was at Kentucky, yet both overcame adversity to fill a specific role during Kentucky's Final 4 run. Liggins will forever be remembered for his defensive intensity and Harrellson will forever be remembered for his Jorts and pure heart.
John Wall and DeMarcus Cousins burst onto the scene as absolute super stars both on and off the court. Kentucky hadn't seen the star power of guys like those 2 in quite some time. The mix of their personalities and immense talent brought back to the fun to Kentucky basketball.
Patrick Patterson and Nerlens Noel are 2 players who fit a similar mold in my mind in the hearts of Kentucky fans. In their time in Lexington, they both found a way to truly connect to the fan base, while also showcasing a generous and philanthropic side. Both players were also warriors on the court, and you never had to question the effort coming from either of them.
Brandon Knight was an interesting character off the court, though rather quiet and not necessarily a player which fans felt they "knew" deeply. Knight earned his 4-star status though when he became (as Matt likes to call them) a "stone cold killer" during Kentucky's Final 4 run. In just one post-season, Knight hit a few of the biggest shots in recent Kentucky basketball memory.
Beloeved for something EITHER on or off the court, but not necessarily a strong combination of both
Julius Mays
Doron Lamb
Terrence Jones
Marquis Teague
Eric Bledsoe
Perry Stevenson
Mark Krebs
Doron Lamb, Terrence Jones, Marquis Teague and Eric Bledsoe all wound up having very successful Kentucky basketball careers. Teague, Jones and Lamb were all part of a national championship team– though the 3 probably weren't as beloved by the fans as some of the other players on that team. All 4 of the players mentioned had great success on the court, but didn't necessarily make deep connections with the fan base off the court.
Mark Krebs, Perry Stevenson and Julius Mays were all personalities and players who fans felt a connection with off the court. Krebs won our hearts over as one of the most beloved walk-ons in the past 10 years. We felt a connection with him as well as he shared his senior day moment with his ailing mother with all of us. Stevenson had a hilarious personality, which has only been put on display even more in his time post-Kentucky. Mays was one of the few genuinely through and through likable players on this year's Kentucky team. The team struggled, but Mays stepped up as a leader and over-achieved in his season as a 5th year senior.
Players who fans feel generally positive about, but didn't necessarily see tons of on the court success
Twany Beckham
Eloy Vargas
Ramon Harris
Players who left Kentucky fans feeling empty…or with lingering questions
Archie Goodwin
Ryan Harrow
Stacey Poole
Darnell Dodson
Daniel Orton
While none of these players necessarily did anything outrageous to anger fans, all of them kind of leave Kentucky fans with a "meh" type of a feeling. None of the 5 achieved huge success on the court, and the connection off the court was also lacking.
TBD/Predictions: Players who have started their Kentucky careers, but the status of their legacy is still to be determined…
Jon Hood (Prediction: 2-star)
Willie Cauley-Stein (Prediction: 4-star)
Alex Poythress (Prediction: Honestly could be anywhere from a 1-star to a 5-star)
Kyle Wiltjer (Prediction: 3-4 star)
Jarrod Polson (Prediction: 3-4 star)
The fine people at DraftExpress.com released their latest NBA mock draft today and it looks a lot like one would expect. Nerlens Noel is projected to go No. 1 overall to the Cavaliers with Ben McLemore going second to the Magic; Otto Porter joining Wall at No. 3; and Anthony Bennett heading to Charlotte.
Archie Goodwin is the final pick of the first round at No. 30 to the Phoenix Suns. The Suns also take Victor Oladipo in the mock draft with the fifth overall pick.
You thought I was gone forever, didn't you?
-The Bat Cats' underwhelming season came to an early close this week with an SEC Tournament loss to Ole Miss. Brooks Holton has the grisly details.
-Speaking of underwhelming, Archie Goodwin looked a little rough at the combine- especially his shooting touch. Dean Bowling has a suggestion for the guard that may help him succeed at the professional level.
-Could Kentucky land a package deal in football recruiting soon? Matt Wheatley thinks it's possible.
-UK Golf's season may have ended, but as Ben Ward knows, it's never to early to make predictions for next year.
-And finally, finish off your Thursday with today's links, compiled by JC Ausmus.

If anyone thinks the U.S. national volleyball team wouldn't be interested in Marcus Lee, they're kidding themselves
Julius Mays harbors aspirations of playing in the NBA and if he was to move towards that goal, there are few better roads to get there than the Wildcats and Calipari
In a span of a year, Anthony Davis and the New Orleans Pelicans have embraced each other

If there's one thing Kentucky fans love more than their teams, it's the stuff they can buy to support them. KSR wants to see your odd and unique UK memorabilia. No, not just your run of the mill UK flag or t-shirt collection. We want the weird stuff. Have a stuffed Wildcat eating a cardinal? Send it in. A portrait of John Calipari made entirely of popcorn? Send it in. The odder, the better.
A lot of you have sent in some pictures of awesome articles of clothing once owned by UK players. Let's start with Sterling Peck, who owns Ralph Beard's letterman sweater. In his own words:
Hey Tyler, just wanted to share that I have Ralph Beard's letter-man sweater from 1947. Back about five years ago, me and my friend would save up our money and try to find crazy stuff like this, meeting some awesome old players like Vernon Hatton and Cliff Hagan along the way. We found a guy named Will who knew some of the older players. He had a huge basement full of old UK basketball stuff and was trying to sell the majority of it. So we called him up and went over there, and it was the craziest collection of UK stuff I've ever seen, including Kenny Walker's shorts and Kyle Macy's shoes. But this was maybe the coolest thing he had, and he was willing to sell it to me.
Before Beard passed away, he auctioned off a lot of his UK stuff in New York in 2002, and somehow Will found out about it, and got some of it. I've always admired Ralph Beard's story. Even through the point shaving scandal, you could tell he was a very good, decent man. I've thought about selling some of the other UK things I have now because of money, but I'm not ever going to get rid of this one! Gotta preserve the history.
Now, Rick Robey's tube socks, which are owned by Garris Sullivan. Writes his nephew, Donald Cherry:
My uncle Garris Sullivan operated Young's department store in Russell Springs, KY in 1978 when Rick Robey visited. He recently shared this photo with me from that time. Autographed Rick Robey tube socks from 1978. $2.00 price sticker still on the socks.
Think you can do better? Send us a picture of your unique "UK junk" along with the story behind it and we'll post the best ones on the website. Email pictures to firstname.lastname@example.com with the subject heading "Kentucky Pickers."
When Matt and I heard Charles Ramsey will be in Stanville, Kentucky tomorrow, we knew what to do. It was a dead giveaway. Dead giveaway. So, we dropped our McDonald's and called up the Eric C. Conn law office, the host of Ramsey's appearance, and asked if we can show up with our radio equipment and salsa music. They agreed.
Ramsey will be our guest on Kentucky Sports Radio radio from 11:15 to 11:45 for #AskAnythingFriday. To top it all off, a statue of Ramsey will be unveiled at the Floyd Co. ceremony in his honor. The statue will be donated to a museum in Cleveland, unless they accept our offer to buy it.
It's gonna be some mo' KSR up in that house.
The writing has been on the wall since Mark Stoops got to Kentucky – he's going to make an impact, and he's working to do it as fast as he can. Another roadsign in the Stoops path to success here at UK is the recruiting success. ESPN now has UK's 2014 football recuriting class at #22 … at least for now. Keep in mind there is plenty of time until that ever-tumultuous National Signing Day.
However, Drew Barker's addition to what is looking to be a marquis class for the Wildcats was a huge boost. It is obviously worth noting that there are only 7 players currently committed for this class. The SEC currently has 10 teams in the Top 25, with Kentucky being the 9th of the 10 ranked, beating out only Vanderbilt. (The article differs from ESPN's actual list here.) Still, this is a great sign for the future.

If you didn't hear this morning's Kentucky Sports Radio, you really missed out. UK Hoops head coach Matthew Mitchell joined Matt and Ryan in-studio to host both hours, and as usual, he absolutely killed it. If Mitchell ever wants to retire from coaching, he definitely has a future in radio.
How good was he? Here are some teasers:
– He described how he wants his wife, Jenna, to give birth to their baby on the Rupp Arena floor during Midnight Madness
– He picked on Ryan
– He treats us to a little Hall & Oates and suggests that Calipari join him as dressing like the duo and performing at Big Blue Madness
– "Baby Bop's got the big butt!"
– So much more…it's so good, I might listen to it again.
Over the past five years, John Calipari has developed a reputation as the best recruiter in the nation. Since coming to Kentucky, he's pulled in the number one class five years in a row. But, how big is the gap between Cal and the rest of the pack? I decided to put some cold hard numbers behind Cal's case as the best coach to get players ready for the NBA.
I started with the top eight coaches still in the game: John Calipari, Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams, Bill Self, Billy Donovan, Tom Izzo, Rick Pitino and Jim Boeheim. This group includes the coaches who over the past decade have gotten the most 5 star talent to come to their school and who are still coaching at that school (thus no Ben Howland). I looked up all of the 5-star recruits they've brought in during the past decade and how each of those recruits fared in the NBA Draft (or, if they went undrafted). Picking 5 star talent is not a perfect indicator, as their are obviously differences between a player ranked #1 and those ranked #20 (where 5 star rankings usually end). But it is the best indicator of elite status and the players that most all of the top programs focus on recruiting. Because the 2013 draft hasn't happened yet, I excluded the 2012 class, and developed a point system to determine which coach is most successful in getting players to the league.
The NBA Prep Point System
0 = Undrafted
1 = Drafted in the second round
2 = Drafted in the first round
3 = Lottery pick
4 = Top 5
5 = Number one pick
SIS = Still in school
D-2013 = Declared for 2013 draft
Why the different levels? I awarded zero points to players that came in as 5-stars and left school without being drafted. To me, that shows a lack of preparation by their coach for the league. This could also include players who were not drafted, but signed with a team later on.
I awarded one point to players who were drafted in the second round, since they do not receive guaranteed contracts. Two points go to players drafted in the first round, but not in the lottery, since those players receive guaranteed multi-year contracts. Three points to players selected in the lottery, or picks one through fourteen, and four points to player picked in the top five. The money payout for the top five picks is significantly more than the rest of the lottery picks, as is the pressure to go pro if that's your projection. I awarded five points to players who went first because of the notoriety and money that comes with it, as well as the bragging rights that go to the school. I took the average of the players' NBA Prep rank and assigned them to each coach. That number shows, on average, where each five-star recruit that plays for that coach goes in the NBA Draft.
The results
1. John Calipari, Kentucky/Memphis
Not surprisingly, Cal came out on top, in both his time at Kentucky, and the average of his two tenures at Memphis and UK. What Cal did at Memphis was impressive; on average, the five-star recruits he brought in went somewhere between picks 14-30, but what he is doing at Kentucky is astounding. Not only does Cal have the most five-star recruits in the past decade, he also has the most five-star recruits in the league, and the highest-ranked in the draft. That means five star recruits that come to UK under Calipari are ON AVERAGE PICKED IN THE LOTTERY. That is remarkable.
Keep in mind that Patrick Patterson was not included because he was technically a Tubby Smith/Billy Gillispie recruit, and Nerlens Noel and Archie Goodwin aren't eligible because the 2013 draft hasn't happened yet. If those numbers were included (with Patterson going in lottery and presumably Noel being the first pick), Calipari's score would rise.
2. Roy Williams, North Carolina
On average, Roy Williams' five-star recruits are drafted just outside the lottery, likely between picks 20-25. Cal and Roy are by far the two most successful coaches in getting their players to the league, and from there, it is a big dropoff.
3. Billy Donovan, Florida
Considering that Billy Donovan's most successful NBA players were actually four-stars (Al Horford, Joakim Noah), his NBA Prep rank was still pretty high, thanks in large part to Bradley Beal. Donovan doesn't land a lot of five-star recruits, but when he does, he succeeds in getting them to the league, on average in the second round.
4. Mike Krzyzewski, Duke
Coach K's most successful NBA player is the one that went to the draft after one year (Kyrie Irving), which throws a little salt on his anti-one-and-done stance. The players that do stick around for a few years at Duke end up going from the mid-first round to early second, which would give him a higher average if Demarcus Nelson, Greg Paulus, and Brian Zoubek hadn't gone undrafted.
T5. Bill Self, Kansas
* JR Giddens was recruited to Kansas by Roy Williams, but Bill Self persuaded him to stay when he was hired. Dave Padgett was also a member of Kansas 2003 class, but transferred to Louisville after his freshman year.
Bill Self came to Kansas in 2003 after Roy Williams left for North Carolina, and really hit his stride in 2005 with the Mario Chalmers, Brandon Rush, and Julian Wright class. Sherron Collins going undrafted hurt his rank, but Xavier Henry helped boost it, as will Andrew Wiggins. But on the whole, the performance of Bill Self with top players is surprisingly disappointing.
T5. Jim Boeheim, Syracuse
Boeheim's early five-stars weren't drafted, which really hurt his average. The rest of his five-stars have all gone in the first round, with Jonny Flynn being his highest five-star player drafted since Carmelo Anthony, at #6. Since Anthony was from the class of 2002, he was not included in the study.
7. Tom Izzo, Michigan State
Izzo has a reputation for recruiting three or four year players, which is reflected in his NBA Prep rankings. His only five-star player drafted was Shannon Brown, way back in 2003.
8. Rick Pitino, Louisville
Rick Pitino's five-star recruits have been all over the place, with four going undrafted, one going late in the lottery, and Derrick Caracter barely squeaking into the second round in 2010.
Conclusion: The Kentucky Effect is a fact
Based on these numbers, John Calipari is not only the best recruiter in college basketball, he's also the most successful when it comes to getting his players drafted. On average during his time at UK, he has turned five-star recruits into lottery picks. Even more, he's helped several four-star recruits get there as well. Also these numbers seem to me to send a message to elite 5 star high school recruits. If you are in that group and want to be a high NBA Draft pick, Kentucky and North Carolina, based on track record, are the clear and obvious choices as destinations. My guess is that most schools don't show these numbers to incoming players, but if I were John Calipari (and secondarily Roy Williams), I think I would. It is clear UK, followed by UNC, are the best places for the best of the best to reach the NBA.
Julius Mays just wrapped up his workout in Brooklyn today and Coach Cal couldn't be more proud of the way his former guard performed in front of NBA personnel. Cal tweeted, "Just got done watching Julius Mays at the Nets' combine. Julius played really well — and he played point guard! Julius had 18 points and six assists in just two 12-minute quarters. He played so well that people are probably wondering why I didn't play him at point guard. Couldn't be more proud of Julius."
So now the only question is, WHY DIDN'T YOU PLAY HIM AT POINT GUARD?!!!
Just kidding. Good for Julius and we look forward to following him wherever he ends up.
According to ESPN's Marc Stein, Anthony Davis has been invited to the Team USA mini-camp in late July in Las Vegas. Davis got a last minute chance to play for Team USA in the London Olympics last summer, and made the most of his opportunity, impressing the coaches and players so much that Coach K has invited him back for a mini-camp.
In case you missed it yesterday, Coach K announced he will return to coach Team USA in the World Cup of Basketball in Madrid in 2014 and the 2016 Olympic games in Rio de Janeiro. During the press conference announcing his return, Coach K said that the staff is really going to focus on developing the best talent into the best team, which they haven't had time to do in the past.
Hopefully, we'll see plenty more former Cats on those rosters.
In case you forgot, here are some of Anthony's highlights from last summer:
Hello, friends. I hope you're well. You've got something on your mouth. No, the other side. No, higher. Not that high. Over to the right. No, my right. There. You got it. Is that motor oil? You're so weird.
Friends, as we all know by now, the only thing worth talking about these days is our beloved Cats' chances in the upcoming NBA Draft, of which it's expected that fan fave Nerlens Noel may be headed to the pros before all of his draft class colleagues. Good for him. The NBA Draft, of course, is a traditionally giant affair which begins with the NBA Draft Lottery, which determines the order by which the to-be-drafted players will be picked. It's one of the more interesting sports lottery drafts, to be sure, but it's not the only one. Today let's look at our list of Other Famous Drafts & Lotteries. Because really, why not? You don't have to if you don't want to. Feel free to just sit around looking out the window some more waiting for October. It's a free country. As always, gang, have a great weekend and I'll see you here again next week.
The NBA Draft Lottery
What you should know: It's like bingo for millionaires where you can win people.
This year: For the second time in three years, the Cleveland Cavaliers will have the number one pick in the NBA draft, and they're expected to choose former UK Wildcat center Nerlens Noel. This brief respite from crippling depression, along with the opening of a new Quizno's over by the bus station, is the only thing keeping citizens of Cleveland going until June.
The Canadian Football Draft
What you should know: You know how, in movies sometimes, studios can't use the names of actual football teams because they're copyrighted, and so they make up a bunch of silly names that sound like they could kinda be football teams? That's what every team in the Canadian Football League sounds like.
This year: The first pick of the CFL draft was Linden Gaydosh by the Hamilton Tiger-Cats. Gaydosh, as you likely know, formerly played for the Calgary Dinos and less than a week after being the first pick in the CFL draft he signed with the Carolina Panthers. The illustrious second pick of the CFL draft was Andy Mulumba to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers even though Mulumba had already signed with the Green Bay Packers. The tenth pick in the CFL draft was by an Ottowa team that doesn't even have a name yet. This is how hilarious Canadian football is.
Steven Gorsh's Fantasy Baseball Draft Lottery
What you should know: Steven Gorsh founded his fantasy baseball league on Yahoo in 2010 and has been trying to discourage his brother-in-law Gary from being in it every year since because Gary never pays his dues.
This year: Gorsh's Draft Lottery was held in his office workroom on March 22. He sent out an email asking if anyone would like to do it by conference call, but no one responded, so he just did it by himself. Everyone's very excited about it now, but in a month and a half no one except Gorsh is going to care about this league at all, and he will constantly complain about it to his wife, who thinks he's stupid.
The Altoona, Pennsylvania Holiday Bowl Summer Bowling League Draft Lottery
What you should know: Last year the Holiday Bowl co-ed league consisted of eight teams. League members in good standing continue to receive up to ten per cent off nachos and free refills for soft drinks ONLY.
This year: From the official league rules, please note that during the 2013 Summer Bowling League season teams must consist of four (4) players, with the minimum legal lineup consisting of two (2) eligible players of which two (2) must be from the team's current roster. Also, whoever is urinating of the sink in the men's restroom in the back corner next to the entrance to Shimmers Karaoke needs to stop; if you have any information on this issue please see Bill.
The Delaware Lottery
What you should know: One out of every six instant scratch-off game tickets is a winner! Try new "Jumbo Bucks" or "Icy Hot 7's" today!
This year: Multi-win Lotto" numbers for May 22 were 07 12 15 16 17 29. The Mega Millions winning number was 02 15 17 48 55. Please play responsibly.
Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery"
What you should know: You do not want to win "The Lottery."
This year: Bill Hutchinson drew the winning slip in the first round of the lottery, with his wife Tessie ultimately taking the grand prize, which she did not think was fair. Old Man Warner still thinks it is.

To ensure you can put lots of stuff in and get to it pronto, we first put in lots of thought. That's why the large main compartment is also host to a deep, velcro-fastened centre pocket plus left and right deep stuff pockets. And why the Western Lawn also features two additional full depth external stuff pockets.
Seal the Western Lawn's outer flap with its dual oversized injection moulded velcro fasteners and even the most dexterous pocket pickerer will struggle to get their mischievous mitts in unnoticed.
The more stuff you carry, the more you need a wide shoulder strap to distribute its weight - and the more youíll appreciate the Western Lawnís soft but strong 50mm flamed polypropylene webbing. Complete with QuickFlick™ buckle system, it will go to almost any lengths to ensure the bag sits right where you want it.
The reinforced side accessory loop makes a handy hideaway for surplus strappage. Or use it for any frippery, baggery, gidgetry, gadgetry or other hangers on of your choosing.
Be it rain, hail, sleet, snow, beer or mixed drinks, the bagís 1,000D outer and oversized flap are designed to weather the storm and keep whatís inside dry.
The 1,000D outer and 300D Rip-stop lining combine phenomenal strength with exceptional smoothness. Your clothes don't catch. Your cargo don't get scratched.
Designed to outlast its lifetime guarantee, the bag features a super strength water resistant 1,000D outer, 300D Rip-stop lining, flamed polypropylene webbing, triple strength S-Bend webbing attachment, injection moulded velcro and bonded nylon thread with bar tack stitching on all stress points.
Not just 'a' warranty, but the Legendary Crumpler 'Til Death Do Us Part' Warranty!
If your Crumpler bag fails as a result of defective materials or workmanship under normal use while you: a) draw breath and b) remain the bag's owner, we'll repair or replace the part(s) in question – no questions asked. Just drop your bag off at a Crumpler Store or mail your bag to a Crumpler HQ, postage paid, together with your proof of purchase and a short note to explain the problem. We'll make it right and send it back to you ASAP.
If we reckon the fault occurred as a result of 'abnormal' usage – no offence intended – we'll contact you and obtain your approval to repair the bag at your expense.

I have The Western Lawn Crumpler and use it everyday to commute to university. Its enough to carry a few exercise books and a thick text book and a large drink bottle. External and internal pockets are big enough to carry your wallet/pens/camera. All round is a great bag but im now looking for something bigger like The Complete Seed as i have no where to put my jumper when its hot! Good day tripper bag - have taken it to HK/Malaysia/Taipei wont leave OZ with out it! WHOO!
Problem: I normally use my baby bag to carry any bits & pieces I need while I'm out & about, but on a recent family holiday knew that it would be chockers with all the paraphernalia needed by a baby and toddler during a whole day's sightseeing. Second bag for adult's stuff needed. Solution? (loud fanfare) the Western Lawn!! Perfect size for wallet, phone, water bottle, snack, still camera, video camera, maps, brochures, etc, etc. And when I went off with just the toddler for a few hours, room for his drink, a couple of nappies, book, and teddy. Definitely a winner here!
i use it as a school bag and stuff all my books,waterbottle into my Crumpler,but doesnt look bulky when i sling it over my shoulder!
I just bought my western lawn! *euphoric* I just needed one because my old bag was bursting with my stethoscope, white coat, pen torch, ipod, books, files etc etc. This bag did the job comfortably. Besides, I have the habit of using my bag as an "emergency umbrella" lol
This wonderous bag-of-holding carries all my goodies, all, without me looking like a refugee, or a bikeless messenger. Stylish enough for the office, yet rugged enough for overnight camping. Take that, Kenneth Cole.
Don't let the size of Western Lawn deceive you! I was a bit skeptical of its size when i got it today, but it even fit my 15.4" widescreen laptop + misc comfortably! Out goes the laptop, in goes all my junk! =]
I bought this bag eight years ago, when I was in my last year of primary school. I have used it the whole way through high school, and now in TAFE. It is an excellent bag, there has been nothing that has needed repair, even though I have used it constantly for so long, and taken it to many places: both interstate and international. It is also a great overnight bag, it is my bag of choice (between a few) for whatever I do, unless it just cannot fit everything that I need in it; which rarely happens. There is only one small thing that needs repair on the bag, a small part of the reflective strip, where one of the buckles is, has been ripped down. If you want a good strong bag, that will serve your everyday needs, and one that all of your friends will soon want too, then get one of these.
Love it works great, carry two notebooks and a macbook air 11 in it
I've had a Western Lawn since 2007 and have been supremely impressed. I've used it as a travel carry-on bag, a laptop bag, a gym bag and my everyday work bag. It has travelled with me from Perth to Toronto to San Francisco to Cardiff to Launceston -- to this day there is very little sign of wear and no tear whatsoever. I might never have owned a better value anything ever. (Practical consideration for lady physique - the strap crosses over my DD chest fine, with no comfort issues, whether I'm wearing it low on the hip or up high backpack style.)
As a female, I think most women's hand bags are completely useless. I just don't get it when I see women on the train juggling multiple hand bags because they don't have one decent practcial all purpose bag. I've had my Western Lawn since 2007. It's honestly the best bag I've ever had. It's functional, practical, hard wearing and better still, you can throw it in the washing machine to give it a good clean. After 4 years of being dragged around on trains, cars, planes and bikes, it still looks new. I've since brought a lap top bag from crumpler and I'm just as happy with it. Keep up the good work Crumpler. Your products are awsome!
After using numerous expensive, heavy and girly nappy bags for over a year, I wanted to get something lightweight and unisex that both my husband and I can use, and I bought the black Western Lawn. The quick release buckle means I can get the bag on and off my stroller in a few seconds, rather than fiddling with stroller clips. I can also wear it as a messenger bag when I take my toddler out, leaving both hands free for toddler emergencies! The bag is spacious and can be cleaned easily with a wet cloth and air-dried! It fits all the things I need for toddler (Snacks and Water) and the Skip Hop nappy change wallet as well. My husband and I love the bag!

The unlikely combination of history and the vampire genre delighted an Upper West Side audience on Monday night, at the premiere of "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter," a new film produced by Tim Burton.
Benjamin Walker plays the vampire killer, President Abe Lincoln.
"We recognize that, yeah, it's a ridiculous premise. We get it. But that's where the joke ends," says Walker. "We tried to make a period piece about Lincoln that's a thriller but also has some vampires in it."
Rufus Sewell plays the president of the vampires, looking for a national home for his people.
"Well, there's been a lot of kind angsty teen vampire things going on and there's room for everything, but this is, I would say, a return to bad, bad, bad vampires," says Sewell.
Seth Grahame-Smith, who wrote the book "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter," is also the screenwriter of the movie.
"The way that we do it is we take this ridiculous concept that is obviously impossible and we do it as if it were the real history," says Grahame-Smith.
The author may say that this is a work of fiction, but the film's director, Timur Bekmambetov, has a different opinion.
"To make the movie, you to believe that it's true. And I really believe that it was true," says Bekmambetov.
Sometimes truth is truly stranger that fiction.

Indians: Pitcher Trevor Bauer bringing unconventional methods to Tribe
Trevor Bauer can throw eight pitches, but the Indians only have five-finger catchers. So watching the catchers calling pitches this year could be worth the price of admission.
"I throw a four-seamer (fastball), two different changeups, two different curves, two different sliders and a reverse slider," said Bauer, sounding like a waiter describing to diners today's menu specials.
Instead of diners, however, Bauer was talking to reporters Wednesday at Progressive Field. It's the first time the independent-thinking phenom has spoken to the Cleveland media since he was acquired by the Indians last month in a three-team trade that also included the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Cincinnati Reds.
Bauer, who turns 22 next week, was the third player selected overall in the 2011 June Draft. However, only 18 months after drafting him, Diamondbacks officials gave up on him, shipping him to Cleveland as part of the trade in which the Indians traded Shin-Soo Choo and Jason Donald to Cincinnati and Tony Sipp and minor-leaguer Lars Anderson to Arizona.
The Indians also acquired outfielder Drew Stubbs from the Reds and relievers Matt Albers and Bryan Shaw from the Diamondbacks.
Bauer, however, was the big catch for the Tribe. He's a potential No. 1 starter eventually, for a rotation that last year was held together by bailing wire and duct tape.
In 22 starts last year at Class AA and Class AAA, Bauer, who was an All-American at UCLA, was 12-2 with a 2.42 ERA. Despite those dominating numbers, the Diamondbacks felt he was expendable.
"I was a little surprised by the trade, yeah," said Bauer. "But that's something you can't control. I got the news and said, 'OK. That's what it is. Time to move on'."
One theory on why the Diamondbacks gave up on Bauer so quickly is because of his unique approach to pitching, and his training methods, which clash with much of what is considered conventional thinking.
For example, his pregame warmup routine before every start lasts 1 hour, 20 minutes and includes him making numerous throws from 330 to 400 feet across the outfield, plus extensive stretching drills. His between-starts workouts are also somewhat unconventional. Continued...
"It's not for everyone," said Bauer of his routine. "All I ask is that people see it and try to understand it before they judge it."
Indians general manager Chris Antonetti said the controversy surrounding Bauer's unconventional approach is much ado about nothing.
"A lot has been made out of it, but it's no big deal," said Antonetti. "For as analytical as Trevor can get between starts, once he crosses the line, it's all about pitching and competing."
Bauer's father is a chemical engineer, and Bauer majored in that at UCLA.
"I love physics and figuring out how things work," he said, in explaining his meticulous approach to the art of pitching.
About the eight-pitch repertoire, Bauer said, "All those pitches are designed to fit a specific purpose in a given game. When I have them all working it's a lot of fun. It's almost like a video game."
Bauer said he isn't so set in his ways that he's not inflexible, but that his routine is what works best for him.
"If people disagree with my approach, I'm open to discussion," he said. "Let's talk about it, and if it makes me a better pitcher, I'm always open to learning."
Bauer made his major-league debut with Arizona last season, becoming the first player from the 2011 Draft to reach the big leagues. He labored through four starts with a strained groin and was 1-2 with a 6.06 ERA.
Asked how close he feels he is to being a major-league pitcher, Bauer said, "I'm just going to spring training and try to pitch to the level I know I can get to and we'll see where that takes me." Continued...
Antonetti said Bauer will likely be a contributor at the major-league level in 2013, the only question is when.
"It could be on opening day, or later in the season," said Antonetti. "There's a lot to like with Trevor. He has a great arsenal: an above-average fastball, very good secondary stuff, and he's very committed to being a success. He'll come to training camp with a chance to win a spot in the rotation."
Comings and goings
The Indians Wednesday traded pitcher Jeanmar Gomez to Pittsburgh for outfielder Quincy Latimore. A fourth-round pick by the Pirates in the 2007 draft, Latimore in 2012 played at Class AA Altoona, hitting .252 with 15 home runs and 71 RBI. "He's a right-handed hitter with some power who gives us some outfield depth at the upper level of our system," said Antonetti. Gomez was designated for assignment by the Indians on Jan. 2.

BAAAAWWWW, I die. I die. Seriously, that head tilt? It's the cutest. I've never seen a dog tilt his head back and forth so much before. I'm in love (not that you didn't know this before). These videos made my day.

Bodie is just too darn cute! Watching him chase ladies reminds me of my two dogs on evenings when they endlessly run around behind each other, driving me insane. They can literally go for an hour...straight!

Today I decided to just open the bible and let God lead me to the page I needed and he led me to Proverbs 31. I absolutely love verses 10-31.
So my questions to you are:
-Are you a Proverbs 31 woman/wife?
-How do you practice being a Proverbs 31 woman/wife?
Reading it is extremely encouraging. I just wanted to see how you ladies live out being a Proverbs 31 woman/wife in your daily lives.
