|Manatee (6-0) Bradenton, FL
Manatee had little trouble with a solid Cypress Bay team. Cypress Bay made the Hurricanes sweat a bit as they kept it within two scores for most of the second half. A trip to Venice should be Manatee's best test in the last month.
Last: Def Cypress Bay 42-20
Next: 10/19 @ Venice (6-1)
|2 (2)
|John Curtis (7-0) River Ridge, LA
The predication used last week to describe the likely outcome of the game against Newman was "pummel". Curtis complied, handing Newman a 50-0 beating. The Patriots are off this week, and 1-6 Clark wishes they were off on the 26th as well.
Last: Def Newman 50-0
Next: 10/26 Clark (1-6)
|3 (3)
|Trinity (8-0) Louisville, KY
Louisville Male used to be considered a scary game for Trinity. Those days seem like a long time ago as the Shamrocks walloped Male in a 38-7 victory. At the beginning of the season, Trinity's matchup with Archbishop Moeller looked like a game that could decide the FOX Sports Next National Championship. That game lost some luster as Moeller dropped a pair of games earlier this season, but the Crusaders got back on track last week beating Indianapolis Cathedral 48-13.
Last: Def Male 38-7
Next: 10/26 Archbishop Moeller (OH) (6-2)
|4 (4)
|Bellevue (7-0) Bellevue, WA
Mount Si was undefeated coming into the game against No. 4 Bellevue. They left the game defeated. Bellevue left little doubt about who was the best team in Washington with a 49-10 victory. Bellevue has two games left in the regular season that should amount to roughly 100-0 wins.
Last: Def Mount Si.
Next: 10/19 @ Mount Si (6-0)
|5 (5)
|Katy (6-0) Katy, TX
Most of the Top 10 has been feasting on cupcakes. Katy didn't want to miss out and blew out Katy Taylor last week before they go and blowout Seven Lakes this week. Katy isn't likely to be given a decent game until 11/3 against Cinco Ranch.
Last: Def Katy Taylor 56-7
Next: 10/19 @ Seven Lakes (4-2)
|6 (7)
|St. Ignatius (8-0) Cleveland, OH
Here's hoping St. Ignatius enjoyed its trip to Niagra Falls last week as St. Francis was no match for the Wildcats. The going will be tougher this week as St. Xavier is going to be a handful coming off of a bitter loss to St. Edward.
Last: Def St. Francis (NY) 56-0
Next: 10/20 @ St. Xavier (5-3)
|7 (8)
|Vista Murrieta (7-0) Murrieta, CA
Great Oak kept it relatively interesting for a while before Vista Murrieta dispatched of them like a cat getting bored with a mouse. This week the Broncos should get a more even match against 7-0 Murrieta Valley.
Last: Def Great Oak 65-14
Next: 10/19 @ Murreta Mesa (7-0)
|8 (9)
|DeSoto (6-0) DeSoto, TX
The bye week leading into its game with Mansfield Timberview bordered on cruel and unusual. The Eagles crushed the Wolves, but should get a stiffer challenge against Midlothian this week.
Last: Def Mansfield Timberview 61-7
Next: 10/19 Midlothian (5-1)
|9 (10)
|University (6-0) Ft. Lauderdale
University continues to dispatch opponents with ease. This time it was Leesburg and a 4-2 record going home on the wrong end of a 42-3 score. A trip to Westminster Christian this week is likely to produce a similar result.
Last: Def Leesburg 42-3
Next: 10/19 @ Westminster Christian (4-3)
|10 (11)
|Butler (8-0) Matthews, NC
One streak was broken as Providence was the first to put up double digits on Butler with 14 points. One streak was kept intact; Butler winning big. The latter streak is likely to continue this week, while the former streak is likely to begin anew against 1-8 South Mecklenberg.
Last: Def Providence 45-14
Next: 10/19 @ South Mecklenberg (1-8)
|11 (12)
|North Allegheny (7-0) Wexford, PA
Central Catholic could have been dangerous for North Allegheny coming off its huge win over Gateway, but the Tigers proved that they are Top 10 material in running their record to 7-0 and easily winning a trap game.
Last: Def Central Catholic 28-0
Next: 10/19 Shaler Area (0-7)
|12 (13)
|Good Counsel (6-1) Olney, MD
Good Counsel was efficient in its beating of Bishop McNamara with a 22-0 win. While the Falcons should win against St. Johns, Good Counsel knows better than to overlook the 5-3 Cadets who have played well this season even in losses.
Last: Def Bishop McNamara 22-0
Next: 10/20 @ St. Johns (5-3)
|13 (15)
|De La Salle (7-0) Concord, CA
De La Salle did what they needed to do against Amador Valley. Monte Vista should be a better game than what we've seen from De La Salle in the last month, but the Spartans should still win comfortably in the end.
Last: Def Amador Valley 52-24
Next: 10/19 Monte Vista (6-1)
|14 (16)
|Bishop Gorman (6-1) Las Vegas, NV
Yes Bishop Gorman beat Good Counsel earlier this season. Yes they have the same records, and yes Good Counsel has the better wins including Bergen Catholic who beat Bishop Gorman but lost to Good Counsel. That's about the only interesting thing to talk about with regards to Bishop Gorman, because the rest of their season is a snoozer.
Last: Def Bonanza 56-0
Next: 10/19 @ Centennial (6-1)
|15 (17)
|Lincoln (6-0) Tallahassee, FL
Lincoln rolled through Leon, and should roll into its showdown with Godby on 11/8 unbeaten.
Last: Def Leon 49-10
Next: 10/19 West Port (3-3)
|16 (18)
|Steele (6-0) Cibolo, Texas
Steele came off its bye week to face a King team that wasn't going to give them much of a challenge. A trip to South San Antonio should give the Knights starters a good opportunity to visit the Alamo... at halftime.
Last: Def King 54-14
Next: 10/19 @ South San Antonio (2-4)
|17 (19)
Colerain (8-0) Cincinnati, OH
|18 (20)
|Camden County (7-0) Kingsland, GA
For years high school football fans in Georgia lamented Camden County's easy region schedule. Well, the Wildcats are in arguably the toughest region in the state, and Camden County continues to roll. Trips to Lowndes and Colquitt County to finish the season loom large.
Last: Def Tift County 47-0
Next: 10/26 Brunswick (3-3)
|St. Edward (8-0)
Lakewood, OH
St. Edward got a modicum of revenge on St. Xavier who ended the Eagles' season last year. St. Edward outlasted St. Xavier after jumping to a 24-9 halftime lead. Some teams start with a tough schedule, but St. Edward finishes with Moeller and No. 6 St. Ignatius after having knocked St. Xavier out of the Top 50.
Last: Def St. Xavier 27-16
Next: 10/19 @ Moeller (6-2)
|20 (21)
|Don Bosco Prep (5-1) Ramsey, NJ
Don Bosco appears to have found its way after a loss in its season opener to Gilman handily beating a good Paramus Catholic team. Now the Ironmen have a week off to get ready for Bergen Catholic who was just beaten soundly by Cocoa (FL).
Last: Def Paramus Catholic 31-8
Next: 10/27 @ Bergen Catholic (4-2)
|21 (22)
|Grayson (6-1) Loganville, GA
Grayson is rounding into shape and its Week 3 loss to Parkview is looking more like an aberration. South Gwinnett should test the Rams better than Central Gwinnett and Berkmar did the last two weeks.
Last: Def Berkmar 62-0
Next: 10/19 South Gwinnett (6-1)
|22 (6)
|Byrnes (6-1) Duncan, SC
It isn't Gaffney's best year, but unlike most of the opponents on Byrnes' schedule, the Indians don't cower in fear of the mighty Rebels. Gaffney pulled off the upset. Byrnes is still on track to win a State Championship, but any thoughts of a mythical national championship went out the window.
Last: Lost to Gaffney 22-18
Next: 10/19 Mauldin (4-4)
|23 (23)
|Miami Central (3-2) Miami, FL
Central had the week off last week. With the early schedule the Rockets played, they deserve two weeks off. Carol City brings a 7-1 record into its big game with Central, but the last time Carol City faced a team of Central's caliber, Booker T. Washington laid the lumber to them in a 42-13 lss.
Last: Idle
Next: 10/18 Carol City (7-1)
|24 (24)
|St. Joseph Regional (4-1) Montvale, NJ
St. Joseph handled St. Peter's Prep in a tight game. The Green Knights face a trip to a good Paramus Catholic team who is coming off of a loss to Don Bosco Prep. St. Joseph has to have this game if they are to continue their quest towards a season finale against Don Bosco on 11/22.
Last: Def St. Peter's Prep 21-10
Next: 10/20 @ Paramus Catholic (4-1)
(5-1) Allen
A candidate for most impressive performance of the week, Allen handed Plano East its first loss of the season. Well, handed might not be the right way to describe it. Allen beat Plano East over the head to the tune of 56-0.
Last: Def Plano East 56-0
Next: 10/19 Plano West (3-3)
|26 (25)
|McGill-Toolen (7-0) Mobile, AL
McGill-Toolen easily went to 8-0 with a win over Montgomery on the road. The Yellow Jackets host Baker this week. Baker is capable of playing with McGill-Toolen, but the Yellow Jackets have the superior squad.
Last: Def Montgomery 35-0
Next: 10/19 Baker (5-2)
|27 (26)
|Washington (5-1) Miami, FL
Washington handled Jackson this week, and the Tornadoes will handle Doral Academy this week.
Last: Def Jackson 39-0
Next: 10/19 Doral Academy (2-5)
|28 (27)
|Maine South (8-0) Park Ridge, IL
Maine South easily beat Waukegan setting up a season finale with Glenbrook South, who the Hawks should dispatch as well.
Last: Def Waukegan 44-20
Next: 10/19 @ Glenbrook South (5-3)
|29 (28)
|Dwyer (6-0) Palm Beach Gardens, FL
Dwyer continued its series of glorified scrimmages as the Panthers work all season to get ready for one game, it's 11/9 matchup with American Heritage.
Last: Def Santaluces 47-0
Next: 10/18 Atlantic (4-2)
|30 (29)
|Hoover (7-0) Hoover, AL
A trip to Hillcrest could have been perilous for the Bucs, but Hoover came away with a solid 31-17 win on the road. The challenge that Minor presents this week will do justice to the team's name.
Last: Def Hillcrest 31-17
Next: 10/19 Minor (2-5)
|31 (30)
|Mission Viejo (7-0) Mission Viejo, CA
Mission Viejo destroyed league rival San Clemente. The Diablos jumped out to a 42-0 lead before backing off and cruising to a 45-7 win. The Diablos have a pair of interesting league games remaining, but in reality should cruise to the playoffs in a watered down South Coast League.
Last: Def San Clemente 45-7
Next: 10/19 @ Tesoro (6-1)
|32 (31)
|Skyline (7-0) Sammamish, WA
Newport gave Skyline a scare before USC commitment and FOX Sports Next's No. 1 quarterback Max Browne took over. The Spartans put up their customary 50+ and Newport couldn't keep pace.
Last: Def Newport 56-28
Next: 10/19 Issaquah (4-3)
|33 (32)
American Heritage (6-0) Delray Beach, FL
(7-0) Bentonville, AR
Bentonville has one more tune up at Van Buren before it finishes its season with two tough games at Springdale before hosting Fayetteville.
Last: Def Rogers Heritage 48-7
Next: 10/19 @ Van Buren (1-6)
(6-0) Coppell, TX
Coppell made quick work of Hebron after coming off a bye week. A trip to Flower Mound shouldn't prove to be difficult for the Cowboys.
Last: Def Hebron 29-3
Next: 10/19 @ Flower Mound (3-3)
(5-1) Dallas, TX
Another Texas team on a roll after being upset early in the season, Skyline took out some frustration on a hapless Pearce team. The sun has already gone down on Sunset's season, and the Bison can't be happy to see Skyline coming to town.
Last: Def Pearce 57-14
Next: 10/19 @ Sunset (0-6)
(8-0) Nashville, TN
Finally Ensworth plays a team that isn't beaten just by looking at the Tigers in uniform. Brentwood Academy may not be as good as Ensworth, but at least they'll put up a fight.
Last: Idle
Next: 10/19 Brentwood Academy (7-1)
Smith (6-1) Chesapeake, VA
Oscar Smith is getting better as the season wears on. Western Branch was supposed to be a good game for the Tigers. They weren't. Deep Creek won't be either.
Last: Def Western Branch 47-13
Next: 10/19 @ Deep Creek (1-7)
(5-1) Southlake, TX
Last week we said Richland would be lucky to keep the score within the 65-7 that Carroll won the week before. Well.. mission accomplished, it was only 63-7. Northwest is next in line for a beat down.
Last: Def Richland 63-7
Next: 10/19 Northwest (5-2)
(7-0) Mesquite, TX
Mesquite beat a good Horn team that keeps losing close games to good teams. The Skeeters shouldn't have nearly as much trouble with North Mesquite this week.
Last: Def Horn 56-41
Next: 10/19 @ North Mesquite (2-4)
(5-2) Baltimore, MD
Loyola Blakefield fell easily to Gilman, but the Greyhounds must be in top form to continue its good run on a trip to Calvert Hall.
Last: Def Loyola Blakefield 47-7
Next: 10/19 @ Calvert Hall (7-1)
(7-0) Harbor City, CA
After nearly being embarrassed by Carson two weeks ago, Narbonne got the message and pummeled Banning. San Pedro will be lucky to keep it within four scores.
Last: Def Banning 54-7
Next: 10/19 San Pedro (5-2)
Creek (8-0) Goose Creek, SC
Goose Creek didn't look past Cane Bay in a 55-0 shellacking. A trip this week to Wando is one of Goose Creek's only real challenges on the schedule.
Last: Def Cane Bay 55-0
Next: 10/19 @ Wando (8-0)
East (8-0) Frankfort, IL
Only hanging 49 on Joliet
can be considered an act of Mercy by Lincoln Way East. Joliet West isn't
going to be much tougher as the Griffins wrap up their regular season this
(8-0) Muskegon, MI
Muskegon didn't get caught looking ahead, beating an outmatched Kenowa Hills soundly. A trip to Zeeland East is much more daunting as both teams bring unbeaten records into the contest.
Last: Def Kenowa Hills 45-7
Next: 10/19 @ Zeeland East (8-0)
(7-0) Norcross, GA
The Blue Devils expected a fight from Collins Hill, and they got one. Norcross prevailed 35-23 and will have a much easier go of it against Mountain View this week.
Last: Def Collins Hill 35-23
Next: 10/19 Mountain View (2-5)
(6-1) Monroeville, PA
Pity 1-5 Norwin who had to face Gateway coming off of a tough loss to North Allegheny. The 62-13 score was somewhat predictable. Penn-Trafford will be a tougher opponent, but one the Gators should still handle.
Last: Def Norwin 62-14
Next: 10/19 @ Penn-Trafford (6-1)
|Ben Davis (8-1)
Indianapolis, IN
Ben Davis rides an incredibly stingy defense to victories. The Giants held Carmel to seven points last week and Warren Central to three early in the season. Closing out their regular season at Pike will be a tough task.
Last: Def No. 48 Carmel 13-7
Next: 10/19 @ Pike (6-3)
|South Pointe
(8-0) Rock Hill, SC
South Pointe has had an impressive run including solid wins over Irmo and Northwestern. The Stallions will crush Clover this week.

Emma Watson was spotted looking goo-ood at the premiere of "Noah" at London's Odeon Leicester Square on monday, showing off a little leg and all her sexy curves.
Carly Rae Jepsen was spotted, attending the opening night of "Heathers the Musical" on Monday at the New World Stages in New York City. The musical is an adaptation of the 1988 Christian Slater/Winona Ryder film "Heathers."
Also in today's new photos: Nick Cannon, who moved on from his controversial whiteface selfies and dyed his hair leopard-print.

Just checking in briefly until this "situation" levels out a bit. 8 week old puppies are a full-time effort.
Did a little "weaning" today, Mrs Kaitai making a trip to the gym and, I? Well I got to ride today.
Haven't done any off-roading since I got back from NY so today was Kaitai day.
Well... until I rolled it out for the preride inspection and I hear "tink" "tink" "tink"
Iiiiiiiii have a busted spoke Now, when did that happen?
Dunno but so much for that. The Reno it is to be.
It's a sunny day on the coast but cool -quite- and pretty darn breezy out of the SSW.
Of course that means my climb into the south end of town will be into the wind
The climb back home will not be
So, I get to the turnaround and my backend feels loose. Oh, great, I have a flat. And I've never used my frame pump before. I'm not sure but I think it was set up for Schraders. Dang... now I have to figure out how to turn the valve around. The pump -while carbon (Oooooooo)- sucks. It doesn't "bite" on to the valve and it's just awkward. Well, I got it patched (not very well as it turns out. at least it waited until I got home) and off I went. Took the hard climb back out of Linda Mar. Funny, it's not quite as hard as it used to be. It's a good workout but cresting it doesn't feel as special as it once did.
Anyway, looks like bike repair day tomorrow. Kaitai wheel to the shop and it's time to put the Specialized Roubaix Armadillos on the LeMond.
See y'all later. Back to the little beast.

Without seeing a frame, if you'd heard Julian Fellowes, the creative force behind Gosford Park, Downton Abbey and lots of Conservative Party speeches had turned his robust pen to the story of Titanic, what would you expect? Probably this.
From the first shot, there's no messing, we're straight in, with the ship looming in port, a man rushing home to his wife with tickets for the much-heralded maiden voyage, and one of those ominous conversations that always takes place at the start of disaster movies:
"Steerage?" she says. "It won't be so bad," he replies. I guess it's all relative.
From there, we skip around, being introduced to lots of people very quickly, and a lot relies on us knowing the basic framework of the plot, something Fellowes rightfully doesn't worry about – most people over 30 have always known, and James Cameron took care of the rest.
In the big screen blockbuster, we had a cowardly captain with a big villain's arrow pointing at him from the outset. Here, it's some posh bloke insisting too many lifeboats will interfere with the look of his ship: "I will not have the promenade deck ruined or the ladies terrified out of their wits." So that's the looming disaster aspect covered then? Tick.
From there it's a swift return to Fellowes doing what Fellowes does best – beautiful people in bushy hats falling out with each other over sherry. All his trademarks are fully accounted for. Bashful glances between the servants as they go about their business, while the upper classes remain troubled by more worldly concerns – references to suffragette struggles and the Irish Problem abound. And of course, there are the confines of a rocking ship to throw everyone, quite literally, together against the rail, where who knows what attachments may ensue.
But if Fellowes' flicks of the pen verge on cliché, it's because they work. The writer is at his best with the intricacies, awkwardnesses, betrayals and opportunities presented by marvellous group set pieces, where the impending doom feels kind of incidental. When everyone's dancing, this series feels like one that could go on and on – if the ship wasn't about to hit an iceberg.
And thereby lies the rub. It's all beautifully shot, definitely comparable with Cameron's epic in terms of scope and design, and deeper in character, but...
There are just too many characters for the length of time we have to invest in them. This series is only four episodes long in total, we're already a quarter of the way through, and with the iceberg already making its presence known, there's no real incentive to get too attached to anyone either. With Fellowes' skills, it could have been 26 episodes long and really provide a generation-defining tableau of society instead of these strangely arbitrary brushstrokes.
Can everyone be issued a name badge along with a life-jacket for episode two, I wonder? The only one I could remember by the time the credits rolled was Lady Georgiana, and that was only because, let's be honest, she was the nearest we had to Kate Winslet's Rose.
Enough people cared about the fates of Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio to make Titanic the highest-grossing film of all time. Fellowes has set himself the almost impossible task of making us bothered about the fates of too many others in less screen time, even something about an indiscretion with a prostitute in Greenwich, bizarrely, which seemed a bit superfluous bearing in mind the boat was sinking. It was at this point I gave up and decided just to enjoy the hats.

Tribeca Fest Sets Competition Slate for 2003 Event
by Eugene Hernandez
New Tribeca Film Festival executive director Peter Scarlet joined event founders Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal in announcing the competition lineups for the 2003 second-annual Tribeca Film Festival (May 6-11). Forty-one films will screen in three competitive sections at this year's festival.
"We are eager to again present such a world-class line-up of feature films in competition to share with New Yorkers and visitors from around the globe," said Rosenthal in a prepared statement. "This year's selections are created by extraordinary filmmakers who have proven their talents on a variety of levels."
In addition to a dramatic and a documentary competition, organizers have created a new "Documentaries >2" section which offers work by more established filmmakers. Competition films are from those who are presenting their first or second feature film. Jurors are yet to be announced.
Scarlet stated, "We're pleased to be introducing the work of an exciting group of new moviemaking talents from all over the world and to be presenting the work of an additional dozen who aren't beginners but who have yet to get the recognition they deserve."
Festival tickets will go on sale on April 27, with American Express card members getting a jump on the sale from April 21-26. The card company is the primary sponsor of the annual event. Residents who live below Canal Street in Manhattan will get a $2 discount.

AUSTIN, Texas, March 28. CALIFORNIA's Ryan Murphy had some company with Penn State's Shane Ryan serving as his rabbit through the 75, but Murphy had more than enough to win the men's 100-yard back at the NCAA Division I Men's Championships.
Trailing Ryan 33.07 to 33.13, Murphy threw down an 11.50 to win the title in 44.63. That put him fourth on the all-time performers list, and just missed Ryan Lochte's NCAA record of 44.60. Incidentally, Murphy's time also beat his 44.91 relay leadoff in the 400 medley relay at the 17-18 U.S. National Age Group record.
"That's been the goal all season, especially with how this meet has been going. I put a lot of pressure to perform well at that event for the team and I think we've got a lot of momentum now going into this last relay and into tomorrow as well," Murphy said. "For that race I just wanted to go out fast because I knew there was a bunch of really fast guys in that race. I just hoped that my 200 training would help me in that last 25."
Ryan, meanwhile, had himself an epic race as well with a runner-up 44.78. that vaulted him to seventh all time in the event's history. Texas' Kip Darmody raced his way to third in 45.03 to move into 14th overall.
Stanford's David Nolan, the defending champion, wound up fourth in 45.21 with West Virginia's Bryce Bohman snaring fifth in 45.30.
USC's Luca Spinazzola (45.55), California's Tony Cox (45.79) and Florida State's Pavel Sankovich (46.44) also competed in the A final.
That's just California's third win in the event, as Murphy joins back-to-back winner Tom Shields (2011, 2012) as Golden Bear victors in the 100 back.
Indiana's James Wells won the B final in 45.90 with Penn State's Nate Savoy placing second in 46.00.
California's Jacob Pebley (46.09), Texas' Aaron Gustafson (46.10), Georgia's Taylor Dale (46.24), Arizona's Mitchell Friedemann (46.54), Tennessee's Sean Lehane (46.92) and Florida's Jack Blyzunskyj (46.98) placed 11th through 16th overall.

You can't learn all about Texas from just hanging around a classroom. The whole state is our textbook! Trips to important sites (click on image to see photo gallery tour from the last Texas Semester!) and meeting with important people is a key component to The TEXAS Semester. We need to warn you, though. Texas is as big as France! So to see it all, you've got to put in some time and miles.
When you're done, you will have glimpsed one of the most important parts of the United States, have interacted with some of the nation's greatest minds, eaten some of its tastiest food, experienced some of its most fascinating culture, and learned a lot about the Lone Star State, and yourself. These are some snapshots taken by our students on recent forays across this region.

We popped into an Asian grocer, one that we don't go to as often as our usual one, over the weekend and found that they stock a wider range of Caramel Corn! Wooo!
The pink Sakura (cherry blossom) is a flavour that I've been curious about for ages! From what I could gather on the Japanglish Tohato website (which I check regularly for new flavours), it's meant to taste like a sweet red bean paste rice cake wrapped in salty cherry leaves. Exciting, huh? The actual pale pink corn puffs didn't taste anything like that - more bitter almond-y than red bean-y and not at all salty - but it's still Caramel-y Corn-y delicious.
And that bigger bag?! It was squeal-o-rama time when I saw it sitting above the small packs on the shelf! It's another one that I've only read about on the Tohato site. Five times the size of the regular corn puff = five times the fun! And it really was! Bigger than the size of my thumb! And we lucked out with a Mont Blanc-flavoured one! You know that super old-school piped chestnut puree dessert? Tohato got the flavour right with this one. Whoopeedoo!

Who doesn't love popcorn?! I mean really!… It is such a delicious and addicting snack food! My family LOVES popcorn. I am going to let you in on a little secret. Popcorn is one of my husbands go to snacks. He will pop some up and then alternate different seasonings we have in our home. We love the stuff!
My hubby went on a business trip to France recently, and so I went and crashed with my parents for a couple days. There is a 14 year gap difference between me and my younger siblings so 2 of them are still in grade school and depend on after-school-snacks for their sanity! (okay, not really their sanity… but there is nothing like coming home after a busy long day to a yummy little treat waiting for you.) Anyway, my mom went out with her sister for the day and wouldn't be back in time for them to come home… so I took the liberty of pulling together a yummy, fast, and tasty snack! I found this delicious popcorn recipe over at The Cupcake Theory and it was absolutely wonderful!
The verdict… we all LOVED it!
- 1 package microwave popcorn, popped
- ½ cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tbsp. light corn syrup or honey
- ½ tsp. vanilla
- 12 large marshmallows
- Pop popcorn until done, remove any unpopped kernels.
- Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat.
- Add brown sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and marshmallows.
- Turn heat to medium and stir until marshmallows are melted and mixture is smooth.
- Pour over popcorn and stir in until popcorn is evenly coated.
- Store in an airtight container.

The majority of tourists to Italy never travel further south than Rome. In part this is because the tourist "must sees" in Italy are all in the north – Rome, Florence, and Venice. This book shows that, if one is prepared to look beyond the stereotypes, the cultural and other riches of Italy extend southwards beyond Rome. The photographs have all been digitally scanned from images taken on film between 1986 and 1993.
Leonard Ferguson has been a keen amateur photographer for over thirty years. His particular interests are landscape and architectural photography.

Joy on a broken earth
Faith & Inspiration
I wrote elsewhere this week about stumbling into gratitude and into heaven, all through a slender wedge of apple. I only came back to this bit of my history because a young woman in a group to whom I had been speaking-knowing I have lost a child to disease-asked how to cope with the hurt and anger of her own cancer.
There was a time when I would have slung Bible verses at her with the best of them. Count it all joy. . . . God works all things together for good. . . . I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Verse after verse after verse, forever and ever amen.
When you're in hell on this broken earth, and you're on the receiving end of all that versifying, it's hard not to wish that God had sucked up Job's chatty friends into that great whirlwind of His.
So I told her about that wedge of apple, about sitting numb and broken-down at my kitchen table with my dying girl just upstairs, and feeling the sunshine on my sorrowful skin and tasting that slice of sweet fruit and understanding, in that moment, that heaven can crash into hell in the blink of an eye. I told her about being so very grateful for that slender taste of sweetness and peace, and how since then I've tried to be aware of those small miracles all around me, those quiet intrusions of grace.
This in turn makes me think of my friend Ann Voskamp's beautiful book One Thousand Gifts, which has taught me something I need to learn over and over again: thankfulness. "I would never experience the fullness of my salvation," she writes, "until I expressed the fullness of my thanks every day, and eucharisteo is elemental to living the saved life."
The Eucharist is the giving of thanks, and it once was the center of every Christian worship service, and perhaps more then at the center of every Christian life. I confess it is rarely at the center of this life of mine. Instead I see what is lacking, and implicit in that vision of absences is a sense of my own entitlement. I'm supposed to succeed at my job. My marriage is supposed to be good. My children are supposed to grow old.
To see all the world lacks is to have a darkened vision, but to see it as Ann encourages me to do, as a series of blessings-this apple, that phone call, the cool breeze where earlier was only baking heat-is to approach joy.
Joy, on this darkening earth, after all these wound-bearing years. Joy. It sounds almost laughable, but then I remember the times when I have felt joy in spite of myself, and I think that perhaps the only laughable thing is to imagine that the God who calls Himself love would want anything less for me, for you. But will we let ourselves have it? Will we taste and see that the Lord is good?

Good Day for Wild and Scenic Rivers
Today is an historic day for Washington State. After years of discussions and negotiations, U.S. Representative Norm Dicks and U.S. Senator Patty Murray introduced the Wild Olympics Wilderness and Wild and Scenic Rivers Act of 2012. If passed into law, the bill would secure permanent protections for an estimated 464 miles of rivers through Wild and Scenic designation and add over 120,000 acres of Wilderness lands on the Olympic Peninsula.
Like many other states, Washington is woefully underrepresented when it comes to Wild and Scenic rivers. The state only has 6 rivers designated under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act (see cartogram on right), but with 19 rivers and 7 tributaries slated for designation, the Wild Olympics legislation would more than triple the number of Wild and Scenic rivers in the state and it is the largest designation package in Washington State's history.
Included in the bill is the Elwha River, which is undergoing an unprecedented recovery effort that began with the country's largest dam removal last year. We can learn many lessons from the removal of the Elwha dams, and one vital lesson is to protect rivers that possess outstanding values, from fisheries to recreation to wildlife habitat, before they become degraded, altered, and scarred by irresponsible development.
The Olympic Peninsula is home to many other remarkable rivers and streams like the Hamma Hamma, Queets, and the Hoh. Please share your stories, photos, and connects to these incredible rivers with us. You never know – your story may be highlighted on our Facebook page!
After years of discussions and hard work, we want to thank the many local residents, business owners, recreation enthusiasts, and conservation experts who have dedicated themselves to working collaboratively and constructively to develop a strong package of protections.
We also want to thank Representative Dicks and Senator Murray for their steadfast leadership and commitment to protecting our rivers and lands and ensuring that the rivers of the Olympic Peninsula are clean, healthy, and sustainably managed for generations to come!
For more information, check out the Wild Olympics coalition website. You can also read the Congressional press release and legislation information.

Dear Maven,
I'm going nuts, because my mom is trying to take over my entire wedding, She decided she wants assigned seats for her list, none of my friends are going to have assigned seats or the groom's family, but her guests are going to have assigned seats. I think it's the dumbest idea ever yet my mom won't back down.
She needs to realize that this is MY wedding not hers, and I'm beyond pissed with her, because no one is even going to take the seating seriously. I know for a fact that people will switch seats and move around because it's a dumb idea. Next situation, I bought gorgeous shoes that I LOVE, that I paid for myself, and they were $80, which is expensive but I don't think horrible, and they are about 3 inches but not that uncomfortable. My mom wants me to take them back, and get $20 shoes that she likes. The problem is finding shoes has been impossible I couldn't find anything comfortable I liked, and I finally found these that I love, and I'm not taking them back, so my mom is freaking out about that.
Next my mom wants the wedding party to detour back to her house in O'Fallon to freshen up and eat sandwiches and I had to flip out on her just to get that idea out of her head, we don't have time and we don't want to go and waste three hours of our wedding day hanging out at the house, we have a damn party bus for a reason.
Not just that, she has clearly told me it's "her day", the wedding isn't all about me, and that I'm dramatic and a bridezilla,
My mom is paying for the reception and my dress, that's IT, oh and she paid for some of the flowers.She thinks that everything should be her way, she even wants to go over the play list to make sure it's appropriate. Well it's not her decision. I've just had it with that woman. I really want no help from her anymore. Oh yeah I forgot to add; she is making my veil for $7 because she doesn't want to spend $50 on the veil I want. She went out and bought my bridesmaids their gifts months ago with out even asking me, and now I "owe" her for them. I'm sick and tired 100% and I've just had it. I need advice, because I can't take it anymore. She is stressing me out, and pissing me off, and I can't even be excited about my own wedding … please help!
Stressed Daughter
Dear Stressed,
You say that your mom needs to realize that this is your wedding, not hers. There's one, very easy way to do that – pay for the wedding yourself.
Your mom sounds a little kooky and controlling, but you really aren't helping the situation by acting like a spoiled teenager "flipping out" on her because she invited you and your friends over for sandwiches and complaining about her making you a veil instead of buying you one. If you want the $50 veil, then buy it, and maybe buy your own dress while you're at it.
It would be nice if your mother offered to pay for things without strings attached, but that isn't who she is, and my guess is that since she's your mom, you already know that. Instead, you two are repeating a pattern you've probably had for years. She pays for things, and tries to control things. In return, you lash out and act like a brat, further convincing her that you aren't mature enough to handle things on your own and she needs to be in control. The bottom line is if she's paying for things, these decisions are in fact hers to make.
Now that you're getting married, why don't you try and start a new phase in your relationship with your mother as well. Take a deep breath and make a decision.
Which is more important to you, having things how you want them, or having your mom pay for the wedding.
If you want to have your mom pay for the wedding, that doesn't mean you have to give up complete control, but you do have to accept that she has strong opinions, and a right to voice them and in some cases, enforce them. Instead of yelling at her about the seating assignments, ask her what her concern is (and by the way, I think everyone should have assigned tables for dinner, it's much easier and kinder to the guests). Instead of fighting over your shoes, let her know that you appreciate her making your veil. Let her see the playlist, and if she has objections, listen to them, and then decide whether or not to pass them on to the band.
If you want to gain complete control over your wedding, then nicely let your mom know that you appreciate all she's done for you, but that you realize having her pay for the wedding isn't really the grown up thing to do. Write her a check for the money she's already spent. She's still your mother, so you do need to talk to her and listen to her, but if she isn't paying for the wedding she'll have much less ground to stand on when trying to enforce her views.
Remember, your life isn't a movie, so this wedding is not the end of the story. Your mom is part of your life and changing the way that the two of you interact will have a long lasting impact.

Potentially disastrous error
March 31, 2008 - Betsy Bethel
I had a heart-stoppingly horrifying moment as a mom yesterday. I was unloading some junk out of the back of my car, and Emma was running around the back yard. My head was in the hatch, rearranging more junk. About 30 seconds went by. My internal mommy alarm went off. (After the fact, I wondered, is every woman born with this alarm that is inoperative until having a baby?)
I whipped my head up and quickly scanned the yard. No Emma. I ran to the front of the car in case it was blocking my view. No Emma. I bolted around the side of the house. There she was, on the patio by the front sidewalk.
"Come back this way, Honey!" I called. She was squealing with delight and picking up pine cones off the patio. She was about 10 yards away from me and about 1 yard from the street -- and we have no fence. Inexplicably, I stayed put and called to her again. To my horror, instead of running to me, she turned her back and headed for the street.
I screamed: "Emma Skye!" and flew toward her. As she stooped to pick up a pine cone that was lying at the curb, I scooped her up.
My heart pounding, I scolded her for disobeying me and not coming when I called. I told her never, never run away when I call her.
"OK, Mommy. I won't," she said matter-of-factly. "Look at my pine cones!" She grinned and held them up.
I wanted to cry. Inwardly, I lambasted myself. Never, NEVER, take your eyes off Emma when she's playing in the yard!!! Never, ever assume she's going to come when you call her. She's 2!!! Stupid, stupid, stupid Betsy!!! And get a fence, for God's sake!
I just thank God there wasn't a pine cone in the middle of the street and that no cars were coming. The unthinkable could have happened in an instant.
Why can't there be an internal "stupid" switch that automatically turns OFF when you have a baby?

Artists Wearing the American Flag
Artists have been wearing the American flag at their concerts for nearly as long as there's been rock music. Which makes sense, because if we had our way, we'd change that old television commercial to say, "baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and ROCK AND ROLL."
Now sometimes the stars and stripes are donned in an ironic or protesting way, but over the following pages we're going to focus on patriotic musicians simply and proudly demonstrating their love of America. You'll see "Old Glory" customized to fit on jackets, tuxedos, guitars and even shorts, sported by some of the most famous classic rockers of all time. To quote David Lee Roth, "Raise the flag, baby / Let's see who salutes!"

The top 2 finishers in each event earn a spot on the 1998 World Championship Team. The 3rd and 4th finishers in the 100m freestyle and 200m freestyle will earn a trip to the World Championships as relay members. The 5th and 6th swimmers in the 100m freestyle and 200m freestyle are virtually guaranteed a spot on the team too (provided that there are enough doubles).
Women's 100m freestyle:
Jenny Thompson is definitely back on track with her win the 100m freestyle. The win made her the first person to make the 1998 World Championship Team, to be held early next year in Perth, Australia. She swam a 54.95 in the morning and came back at night with 54.96. In the process, Thompson broke Angel Martino's World Championship Trials record.
Amy Van Dyken came in a very respectable second to earn her trip to Perth with a fast 55.66. This had to be a pleasant surprise to Van Dyken and her NRT coach, Jonty Skinner because of the fact that Van Dyken only started swimming a couple months ago.
Lindsey Farella of Palatine Park finished 3rd and 1996 Olympic gold medalist Melanie Valerio finished 4th to make the Team in the 400m freestyle relay.
Men's 100m breaststroke:
The 100m breaststroke was won by 1996 Olympian and former Stanford star, Kurt Grote. He upset Jeremy Linn, the 1996 Olympic silver medalist in this event. Grote's time of 1:01.45 moved him ahead of the great Steve Lundquist, to 4th on the all-time U.S. list.
Women's 400 IM:
Kristine Quance re-established her dominance in the 400 IM. Her time of 4:39.67 marked the first time since 1993, that Quance has gone sub-4:40.
With the absence of the 1996 Olympic silver medalist in the 400 IM, Allison Wagner, Maddy Crippen surprised everybody by grapping the number 2 position. The up-an-coming 17-year-old from Foxcatcher shocked the field with a 4:40.80.
Most of the disappointment had to be felt by Rose Bowl's Jennifer Parmenter. The 2-time defending champion and heir-apparent in this event faded to 4th. Parmenter, however, will have more opportunities to make the Team later in the meet.
Men's 200m freestyle:
1996 Olympic gold medalist Josh Davis edged out "Mr. Comeback" Chad Carvin to win the 200m freestyle. Davis touched out Carvin, 1:49:00 to 1:49.17.
1996 Olympic silver medalist Tom Malchow, more known for his butterfly expertise finished 3rd and 1996 Olympian John Piersma finished 4th to make the Team in 800m freestyle relay.

Turn the motor around and it powers the dump bed of the Dump 'N' Drive Dump Truck or the Pick 'N' Plow Backhoe with a digger and claw on the back. These two work better than the Lift 'N' Load Bulldozer. These have a whimsical look as the motors have see-through sides that allow you to see the working fans and pistons. Easy enough for pre-schoolers to operate. One tester needed some help learning to load the motor into the right slots. These take 4 AA batteries. 3 & up. The company has signed a verification form complying with our safety requirements. We did not independently test this toy in a lab.

While We're Waiting serves as the early morning gathering of WFNY-esque information for your viewing pleasure. Have something you think we should see? Send it to our tips email at email@example.com
Leading off, Chris Pokorny at Dawgs by Nature has a scouting report on Browns-Raiders that includes a weather forecast, "If you haven't heard, the entire Bay Area, including Oakland, is expected to see "significant rainfall" and wind over the next couple of days, including Sunday. As of Thursday, there was an 80 percent chance of heavy rain for gametime. If it does indeed come down in buckets, both teams will have to fine tune their game plans. Oakland is typically a secondary that can be shredded, but both teams might need to rely on the ground game and their short passing game. Browns kicker Phil Dawson described the obvious impact it could have on the kicking game, too." [Dawgs By Nature]
It's no secret that I can't stand the hypocritical David Stern. His latest wielding of power on Gregg Popovich is nothing sort of obscene and ridiculous. If we're going to go around fining teams for questionable rotation decisions, Stern should make a lot of money for his league. "The Spurs have employed a strategic resting strategy for a number of years. Prior to Friday's decision, the league had not punished him. The most recent precedent for punishing a team for not playing its players apparently dates back to 1990, when the Lakers were fined $25,000 after they did not play their stars in their season finale. This is a relatively common practice once playoff seedings are locked up, and has gone unpunished recently. So too has "tanking," the strategic coaching decision to play younger players instead of older players to develop them down the stretch and, of course, improve draft positioning." [Ben Golliver/SI]
Without a bowl game to occupy the coaches' time, OSU football recruiting is in full swing. Derek at Eleven Warriors caught up with Plainfield (IL) South linebacker Clifton Garrett, "Garrett has had a busy visiting schedule since then. He has seen the campuses of Illinois, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, and Purdue. The four-star prospect is a recruit that many teams covet and hope to gain the signature of on National Signing Day 2014. Will that team be Ohio State? Garrett was a big Ohio State fan growing up, and has said Mike Vrabel, the OSU staff member recruiting him, was one of his favorite players throughout his childhood. But will it be enough?" [Eleven Warriors]
Kyle at Eleven Warriors talks about lessons to be learned from Ohio State's trip into Cameron on Wednesday night, "At the top of the Buckeyes' to-do list will be finding another consistent scorer. After Duke grabbed the lead with just under six minutes remaining, Ohio State had few answers on offense. The Buckeyes only made four of its final 12 shots from the field. Deshaun Thomas, one of the top scorers in the nation, was blanketed much of the night. He never scored in the closing eight minutes, well before Duke even grabbed the lead. The Blue Devils were fully aware that there was no Jared Sullinger or William Buford on this season's Ohio State team. "In the second half, they weren't leaving Deshaun," said Matta, about Duke's defensive strategy. Second, third and sometimes fourth options have been available to the Buckeyes in recent seasons when points were needed. But that luxury does not exist on the current team, at least no yet." [Eleven Warriors]
Did everyone see Tom Brady in an OSU jersey? Well, OSU Defensive Line Coach Mike Vrabel tweeted it out a couple of days ago, and if you didn't, here's Tom Brady's burden for his alma mater losing the game. While it's a little sickening to see Brady in scarlet and gray, the joy comes from the sickening feeling I'm sure it gave him.
And finally, from the land of gimmicks, the Panthers are 0-for-12 on their coin tosses this season, and they want their fans to vote for choosing heads or tails for their coin toss at Kansas City this weekend. Like the Browns long stretch of lost coin tosses last season and the Cavaliers streak of lost jump balls early this season, the Panthers will soon find relief.

Myanmar pursuing the next phase of media reform
Myanmar is now in the midst of the second phase of the media reform process. Deputy Minister U Ye Htut of Ministry of Information shared a comprehensive update on completed, current and future media reforms in Myanmar at the first meeting of the Media Development Thematic Working Group (MDTWG) held in Yangon on 9 February 2013.
According to the Deputy Minister, the first phase focused on dismantling of media censorship which began in 2012, while the ongoing second phase focuses on the transformation of state-owned media into public service media.
The first MDTWG was convened by the Ministry of Information (MoI) and UNESCO, co-chairs of the Group and was presided by MoI Deputy Minister Ye Htut and UNESCO Yangon programme manager Sardar Umar Alam. Thirty-five participants from 18 institutions attended the meeting including the Ministry of Information, development partners and national media groups.
The MoI official described the removal of censorship with the abolition of the Press Scrutiny and Registration Board as necessary to be consistent "with Myanmar Constitution and the UN Declaration of Human Rights (UNDHR)."
Initiatives to craft new media laws in Myanmar, particularly for press, broadcasting, cinema (film), library, and public service media are also a highlight of this first phase of media reform in Myanmar. At present the press law is being drafted by the independent Myanmar Press Council and a draft broadcasting law is being finalized. The draft law, according to the Deputy Minister, was enriched by inputs from UNESCO, International Media Service (IMS), and other development partners. It is envisioned to be completed in August or September 2013.
Another development during the first phase is the government's decision to allow private dailies starting April 2013. Deputy Minister Ye Htut expressed hope that this opening up of media will also encourage individuals and groups to set up newspapers at the state/regional level, especially for ethnic communities.
In the second phase of media reform, the Deputy Minster told that MoI will pursue the creation of public service media, since he stressed that: "a commercial media system may not always be able to provide balanced content or information needed by the public."
The public service media will be accorded financial and editorial independence even as the envisioned public service newspaper and public service broadcasting will depend on public subsidy without strings attached for up to 70 per cent.
A regional media system concept is also addressed so that media development is not only concentrated in Yangon but other regions/states as well. It is hoped that there would be 20 centers developed within 2013-2014.
The MoI official also highlighted the need for an ethnic minority channel and an open-air parliamentary channel (The current are being only available on cable). Ethnic communities will be provided access to FM transmitter stations and community radio stations.
Continuing media reforms have encouraged the international community to provide support to the MoI on "an ad hoc or case by case basis." Deputy Minster U Ye Htut expressed his desire for a long-term partnership. He emphasized that development support should be coordinated to avoid overlapping and ensure complementation.
The MoI official acknowledged that the MDTWG can provide the coordinating mechanism, while an annual conference on media development can serve as a venue for preparing a media development plan. These considerations were the basis for the Union Minister of Information to approve the creation of the MDTWG chaired by MoI and co-chaired by UNESCO.
"With the important international attention that Myanmar is receiving since the beginning of its democratic reform, it is important that international cooperation is properly coordinated in order to avoid overlapping and duplication efforts, as we have unfortunately seen in other parts of the world in the past. The role of this working group is therefore crucial for the success of media development assistance in the country," said Rosa Maria Gonzalez, Adviser for Communication and Information of UNESCO Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau in Bangkok.

Still Obsessed With 1985
Sunday, September 16, 2012
More and more, THAT particular Bowling For Soup song (1985) really expresses me. That was probably my best year when I come to think of it. My sister realized her dream by losing enough weight to fit into her wedding dress for her Anniversary this year but MY dream is to fit into my clothes from 1985 and then find one of those retro Jack FM flashback 80's concerts and pretend. I have accomplished a LOT this weekend, a tiny bit at a time. Finally finished going through EVERYTHING in my storage shed and drug in my smaller clothes that I still have to work into and I have ALMOST unburied...dum dum DUM...my eighties cassettes! Just one more box for Zack to move for me in order to get to them. In the process, I am compacting more storage in both the shed and the garage and getting more stuff for donations and trash.
My weight has stayed in the twenties for the better part of this week and I was ecstatic on Friday when I bypassed the extra large polo shirts for work and went straight from double x down to regular size large...size large that I had bought ahead for my fifteen year old planning on him growing into them by next year but instead I grew down...ten dollar shirts I got on clearance for a dollar eighty eight at Academy...can it get any better? Well yes. I fit into three of my happy bunny t shirts now. The teal capris I absolutely love I found on clearance for half price in one size smaller that I don't THINK I will be barred from wearing due to cold weather or losing too much weight. But the losing too much weight would be a good enough deal for me. Let's just say I am absolutely LOVING finally seeing the changes.
Sadly, Suckily, I think working in the shed in the much needed and long awaited rain today has made me sick. We went from highs in the hundreds a week ago to a high of seventy eight today and rain for the past three days. It was just drizzling when I went out and worked on the shed with both dogs keeping me company as if it was their private domain instead of mine. I really wasn't out there that long. I did everything just a few minutes at a time all weekend long. My throat has been scratchy and my body feeling achy every since around two pm. I only have three work days with the kids this week since I have training on Thursday and Homecoming parade and game after that so if I'm sick or not sick, it doesn't matter. I'm going to work.

Mike Roy's life changed forever when the Kentwood High School athlete found his mother, Krissy, dead in August 2008. Aftter 18 months of upheaval, he is still fighting for his future — and keeping Mom updated on all his dreams.
"Hi, Mom. I scored my first varsity touchdown tonight. I wish you'd been there."
BLACK DIAMOND — Every day, Mike Roy talks to his mom. Every day, he misses her. Oh, how he misses her.
Krissy's picture hangs over his bed, which has moved all over the place the last year and a half.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Seattle's vanishing black community
Most Read Stories
Through his sophomore year at Kentwood High School, Mike had known only one home, one he shared with just his mom since sister Kim had moved out a few years earlier. Mike was just in grade school when Krissy and his dad divorced.
Money was tight, but Krissy always made sure there was food in the fridge and decent clothes on Mike's back, sewing holes in her own. He was excited about his junior year of football, and she couldn't wait to sit in the stands again. Not that she ever actually sat. She jumped up and down and screamed and tried to take pictures while describing his every move over the phone, wearing her Kentwood sweat shirt pinned with Mike's photo button and a green ribbon in her hair.
But life changed dramatically for Mike Roy on Aug. 19, 2008, the day before football turnouts. That's the morning he discovered Krissy dead on her bedroom floor after an accidental combination of antidepressants, diet pills and alcohol consumed the night before proved lethal. Mike lost his biggest fan and all sense of normalcy, but he didn't lose the qualities his mom instilled in him.
"He's gone through more stuff than 99 percent of high-schoolers should ever have to go through," said Steve Roche, Mike's track and field coach at Kentwood. "There's a lot to be said that he didn't quit on life."
"Hi, Mom. They elected me captain of the football team today. Wish you were here."
Everything seemed much simpler back then. Mike and Krissy had been excited about that August morning in 2008. She took a rare day off from work to help him get his driver's license and shop for school clothes. It was a happy time for Krissy, who had lost 20 pounds and gained a new boyfriend.
Mike's girlfriend was over and he was supposed to let Krissy know when it was time to get ready. But when he went to wake her, she didn't move.
She was dead.
"What do I do? What do I do?" he yelled to his girlfriend.
She called the police, then Mike called his sister, Kim, who turned a 20-minute drive into a five-minute dash.
Mike doesn't remember a lot about that day, except that he stayed in his bedroom as much as he could.
"The whole day went by so slow," he said.
"Hi, Mom. I got accepted at Central today. I'm gonna go to college and make you proud. Wish you were here."
Mike now lives with Kim and Ephraim, both 25 and married less than a year. Just last week, they moved into a new Black Diamond home, Mike's fourth move in a turbulent year and a half.
Kim Roy is six years older than Mike, and the two had what Mike called a "love/hate" relationship growing up, like many siblings do.
"He was this really annoying little brother," Kim said.
She had just been accepted into the police academy, something Krissy was both nervous and proud about, and had gotten engaged to her high-school sweetheart. Kim and Krissy were forging a new, special relationship, the kind that evolves from mother/daughter to best of friends, and they were constantly on the phone together.
Suddenly, Mike became Kim's first priority.
There were hundreds of details. He needed school clothes, and anything for football? She needed legal guardianship to make sure he had insurance, and then there was his driver's license.
"I inherited two dogs, a three-bedroom house and a teenager," Kim said.
Coach Rex Norris showed up at Mike and Krissy's home within hours of hearing about her death and assured Kim that football should be the last thing they needed to worry about.
"Mike wasn't having it," Kim said.
The next day, he was on the football field. With his mom gone, it felt like the closest thing he had to home.
"I didn't have a lot of family and I felt like Kentwood's like my family," Mike, noting he considers assistant coach Kurt Phelps a father figure. "And when I go to practice, I could focus and not think. It just totally made me forget about life. It was just something to make me forget about the pain, instead of turning to other things."
Other things, like maybe alcohol or drugs. Krissy Roy didn't raise her son like that, and Kim Roy — sister now turned guardian — wouldn't have put up with it anyway.
"Everybody is sitting back and waiting for some catastrophe to kick in, so I am not afraid to say, 'No,' grab him by the shirt and say, 'You're going this way,' " Kim said.
Krissy was the kind of mom who let her kids learn from their mistakes. Kim, now a patrol officer, has strict rules to make sure Mike doesn't make any big ones. It hasn't been an easy adjustment.
"I don't have mom any more and I don't want another mom," Mike admits. "I just want a sister and I don't have that anymore. … We've both got that Roy stubbornness, and we clash and have those arguments like we would when we were little.
"It's a bad time for it to happen, but in the end we love each other and we just make do with what we've got."
"Hi, Mom. I'll be graduating soon. Another big day that won't be the same without you. Wish you were here."
After Krissy's death, Mike stayed with an uncle for two weeks while Kim and Ephraim moved to a bigger apartment. Finances were a mess. Krissy's house went into foreclosure, and her car was repossessed.
Kim used her small inheritance for her wedding and put Mike's away. It wasn't much, but it could help for his future, which now includes college, something Mike never really thought about before their mom died. He recently was accepted at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, where he is an invited walk-on for football.
Mike, who pinned Kim's badge the day she graduated from the police academy, now plans to follow his sister into law enforcement. Kim worries how they will pay for college. His inheritance will be gone after his first year of college, and just last week she opened the Mike Roy Scholarship Fund at Bank of America.
Mike looks forward to his high-school graduation, but thinks how it will be another special day his mom has to miss.
"I think about her all the time, and with everything I do," he said. "I have a picture of her above my bed and I always talk to her. That might sound stupid, but I do that all the time. She's always on my mind, all the time, every day."
