"If the one goes in before half-time [by Anderson] then it makes it a difficult night for them as they have got to change their game-plan.
"We couldn't score because we weren't clever enough around the box and didn't have enough quality in the last pass, finish or cross.
"Chris Smalling's attitude was first class - he was throwing his head in and putting his body on the line - but higher up the pitch was where we needed a little more quality. It was a difficult night, a cold night, and the surface wasn't great but we need to be better than that."

Cube by Lando Kal
Posted on 13 September 2012
Antaeus Roy, better known as Lando Kal, has been unstoppable throughout the last year or so. Whether on his own steez, or alongside Low Limit in the Lazer Sword vehicle, Roy has cemented himself as a master producer. It's his solo material that we've taken a real liking to of late though, and this demo summarizes it perfectly: with Roy's trademark futuristic synths pairing themselves to hard-hitting 4x4 kick drums and persistent vocal loops. While it's unlikely, we're hoping this demo lands in our hands in a more polished form.

The Ghosts of Eastern Airlines Flight 401
On December 29th, 1972, Eastern Airlines flight 401 from New York to Miami crashed into the Florida Everglades. The flight was headed towards Miami International Airport from JFK Airport in Queens, New York. There were around 70 survivors from the crash, however 101 victims were pronounced dead at the scene. The cause of the crash was due to pilot error and technical problems. Among the deceased were Captain Bob Loft and flight engineer Don Repo. However, did these two men ever really leave their careers in the air?
Soon after the crash, there were reports from other pilots and engineers from Eastern Airlines coming in contact with both Captain Loft and Don Repo. One record states the Repo had been on a different flight and said to his co-worker, "Don't worry about the pre-flight, I've already done it." Then, the apparition dissipated immediately after. There was also a sighting of Captain Loft on a JFK plane, telling another captain that the flight had been canceled.
If the sightings weren't strange enough, it was discovered that salvaged parts from the plane had been used in one of the planes where the ghosts had appeared. The two ghosts have protected a number of flights from potential dangers by giving the other pilots alerts on certain situations. Eastern Airlines removed the parts from the salvaged wreckage from modern planes and the ghosts have never appeared since then.

Its a little ironic that I wrote a blog about Clemson memories and then spent the better part of this past week trying to forget the Clemson game.
Don't get me wrong, it was a great trip. The Clemson fans were awesome and the tailgating was top notch as well. Its one of the best ACC road trips around.
Actually, everything was perfect except for the horrific play of our football team…and horrific might be a polite term for what we witnessed.
When the Jackets weren't running into kickers, blocking guys in the back, hitting guys out of bounds, and watching punts bounce at the one yard line on special teams they were dropping passes in the endzone, whiffing on blocks against the Clemson defensive line, or chasing Andre Ellington around the field as he ran for over 150 yards.
It was easily the worst Yellow Jackets special teams exhibition of the past several seasons.
And now we go on the road to face Virginia Tech…a team known for special teams.
And also a team that has placed a target on our back after we upset them last season.
Make no mistake, after all of their whining and crying and gnashing of teeth last year regarding "illegal blocks", the Hokies want to beat us. They want to beat us really bad. They want to embarrass us the way we did Cam Chancellor.
So how do we stop that from happening?
Its got to start at the top…with Coach Johnson, who may be the real wild card on Thursday night.
Coach Johnson likely hasn't forgotten Coach Beamer's whine-n-cheese tantrum and how he went running to the league officials to complain about his players being blocked. Johnson has had a week to put together an offensive game plan and revisit the events from last season.
So how does Georgia Tech beat the Hokies?
First, we have to control the ball and eat clock like we did last season. That means we need to be getting at least 2-3 yards on first down so that we are on track towards third and short instead of third and long. Last season we ran for 300+ yards, converted 8 of 15 third down conversions, and held the ball for over 38 minutes.
If we are losing yards or getting penalties or dropping pitches early in a possession, we're doomed.
Secondly, we have to put a spy on Tyrod Taylor and take our chances on someone else beating us. Taylor is not only the Hokies' leading passer but also their leading rusher.
Like Nesbitt is for Georgia Tech, Taylor is the key to the Hokies' success. Make someone else beat you.
And lastly, we have to play like we have a clue on special teams. We have to kick and cover and win the battle of field position. We cannot allow a blocked kick or a big return. If we get a chance to pin them deep, we must capitalize. And we cannot give them extra yards through stupid penalties and mental mistakes.
If we lose the special teams and field position battle with Virginia Tech, things will snowball quickly and we'll get embarrassed.
With a little luck and solid execution we can gain a game on Virginia Tech and then sit back this weekend while an ailing Miami team faces Maryland and North Carolina travels to Florida State…games which could knock the Canes and Heels out of the Coastal race.
Granted, Virginia Tech would still need to lose another game…but at least we wouldn't be looking over our shoulder anymore. We'd be able to look ahead with the knowledge that the Miami and Duke games could put us back in the ACC title game.
Go Jackets!
Beat the Hokies!

I don't know what climpsun fans you were hanging out with at the game, but they treated the band like pure crap. The worst part was when they threw hush puppies at us from the other side of the road while we were warming up before entering the stadium. LOL
And its Kam* not Cam
Let's go Tech!

11:20 pm
"With a little luck and solid execution we can gain a game on Virginia Tech." Why stop at that. Why not dream bigger. If the top 25 teams in the poll lose the rest of their games and be charged with NCAA violations, the yellow jackets can be in a position to play for and win the national title this year.
Unfortunately this is a very badly written article. This year the officials will be on the look out for dirty play and that will nullify any advantage the jackets may have. Virginia Tech wins big: 45-7
Go Virginia Tech Hokies.

Dude…… the first poster in the comment section, for an article that hasd NOTHING to do with Georgia, has a handle name having to do with Georgia.
Can we drop our obsession, and focus on the GEORGIA TECH game tomorrow night. I am starting to get a little embarrassed seeing all my fellow Tech fans constantly screaming "To Hell with Georgia"….. it's sad and pathetic.
November 3rd, 2010
11:25 pm
Wahhhhh. Poor holkies. Still whining. Losers.
November 3rd, 2010
11:29 pm
If we lose this game, it's seriously time to evaluate if we want to run this style of offense or not.
I personally liked it at first, but when you see how vulnerable we can be if things don't go PERFECT…. I now think it's a bad idea at this level. It may have worked against the weak opponents Ga Southern and Navy play, but not the ACC, even in a down year.
And I don't know what to say once Nesbitt and Allen are gone next year……
November 3rd, 2010

What will Josh Nesbitt do with his Georgia Tech degree??? Will he:
A) Play in the NFL (LOL)
B) Become a World renowned Engineer (LOL)
C) Become a Math Professor (LOL)
D) Go back to Greene County, GA and teach High School P.E. and coach JV Football (More than likely)
If you chose the ONLY logical answer, D, just remember…. It's stories like this that you make fun of UGA grads for doing. But when your "boy" does it, you will consider it "making a difference in the community and healping mold young people into fine young adults"

GTee Time is a Dawg. Walks like one. Talks like one.
No Tech fan thinks saying "To Hell With Georgia" is stupid. If you were a Tech fan/student/alumnus/have EVER been to Tech for anything at all EVER you would know that phrase (which is in our fight song and on the Ramblin Reck along with "Give Em Hell Tech") is like saying Go Jackets! It's like War Eagle or Roll Tide or Gig 'Em or Hook 'Em or Guns Up or Gator Bait or any other college catchphrase. We aren't obsessed, just using our battle cry. We all say it without really THINKING about Georgia…who gives half a rat about them this year anyway? We'll worry about them later this month when it's relevant. For now we're Hokie Haters. And guess what we'll all be singing at the game after a touchdown in Blacksburg and everywhere else we play: "…And if I had a son, sir, I'll tell ya what he'd do, he would yell TO HELL WITH GEORGIA like his daddy used to do!" ….And then comes the best part – about a barrel of rum and drinking my whiskey clear becuase screw yall I'm from Tech so deal with it (paraphrase)!
Go Jackets and What IS the Good Word?!

Hey Nathan Deal, which Tech fan on this blog said anything about Nesbitt's degree or about your players' degrees? I mean, if you'd like to bring academics into a football blog then feel free. Nesbitt is majoring in Management. Does your quarterback major in Business? If not then it can't really be compared "one to one." Also, they're not really the same educational program. Tech's degree is focused on Operations Management of technological businesses (it does have finance and marketing too, these days) while Terry College offers some longer-standing traditional business degrees. I wouldn't venture to compare the two in an average student much less a football player. I think a lot of non-athlete students don't even look at both…it's probably one or the other. But if one were insistent on putting Nesbitt's degree (he has not earned it yet) next to that of a Bulldog player majoring in something similar at UGA, then you'd have to see that US News ranks Tech's Management program (undergrad and graduate levels) ahead of the comparable Business degrees at UGA's Terry College. Rankings-wise it is second only to Emory's Goizuetta (sp?) Business School in this state. I'm bringing up US News' ranking only becuase it's the one that is most widely used around the country, so that's what highschoolers see and know first. But seriously, they kind of aren't comparable in my opinion due to their difference in focus.
I think most football players do what you're talking about and just do what they love – sports. And fine. Let them. What would be so wrong with a university having a football major that taught a comprehensive mastery of the business behind the game? I bet the first in line for that one would be recruiting better in no time. I honestly wish Tech would get a Sports Technology program with a business or teaching option as an udergraduate degree. I see nothing wrong with it.
Sorry if this hasn't addressed your point.

The clemson fans up there in death valley were really polite and it was a lot of fun going there to see the game, but its time to move on from the team that beat them selves with the stupid mistakes in clemson the last ball game. They kinda looked like the UGA defense with the stupid roughing the kicker flag early in the game which they proceeded to score on after that play haha.
We have to slow down their running game tonight, but i will be surprised if that happens.
To hell with ga,
You complain about funny stuff. The sad thing i did see up in clemson was two tech kids get escorted out since they couldnt stand up from drinking too much before the game. Thats a lot worse than a bunch of clemson fans doing something i really dont believe.
Man up,
Tech fans/student base/alumni is obsessed with UGA, and it will never change. You are right about the college catchphrases though, thats the only thing i agreed with.
November 4th, 2010
10:50 am
The weather has been wet all week in Blacksburgh and should continue raining tonight. The field will be sloppy as the Hokies have a grass field as opposed to synthetic turf. The Yellow Jackets need to catch the football and eliminate the dropped pitches this game to be successful. The Hokies are very good at taking advantage of mistakes made by opposing teams. Just ask NC State. Not to mention all of the complaining by Beamer after last year's win by Paul Johnson so the officials will be watching the blocking very carefully all night. For more Georgia Tech Football articles go to http://isportsweb.com. Go Jackets!
November 4th, 2010
11:06 am
@ ManUp most of your points are correct, but the focus of the Management program at Tech isn't on IT or Operations (though we're ranked very highly in the OPS discipline). It might've been that way through the early 90's, but converted to more of a traditional business program since then. You can still specialize in things like Ops or IT, but you don't have to.
For the record, I've personally criticized the UGA football degrees on the Tech blogs… but only in response to the idiots trying to belittle Tech's Management degree. I highly recommend that the (sad) UGA posters to our blogs focus on things like the dominance of UGA athletic programs, rather than try to compare academics (not your strength).
November 4th, 2010
11:32 am
Boggs, Well written.
The KEY for GT on offense will be 1st down yardage.
The KEY for GT on defense will be ZERO rushing yds for T.Taylor.
If A.Allen rushes for 100+ yds, odds strongly favor a GT win.
November 4th, 2010
11:34 am
I expect to see Al Groh to use LOTS of pre-snap
defensive shifts to confuse T.Taylor.
November 4th, 2010
12:16 pm
Taylor running and throwing scares me. For the Jackets to win I think the offense must play near perfectly and there can be no special teams gaffs. The Hokies are a really hot team and if it weren't for them letting BSU beat them twice they would be hovering around the top ten. But facing a worthy opponent is what it's all about!
Go Jackets! Beat the Hokies!
November 4th, 2010
12:58 pm
Yep. Expecting another hard fought battle tonight. Hopefully my superb, light-years-ahead-of-its-time high school offense will really fool them Hokie boys. Here's to wishing our bend but hopefully not shattering defense can hold up.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Thursday, April 12, 2012
Wichita and El Dorado Police are investigating several cases that involve thieves stealing Kansans' identities and then stealing from local businesses.
"We've got two victims in this aspect. You've got the identity theft victim and then you've got the business that is also a victim because they're out the money," said Lt. Clark Wiemeyer, with the financial crimes section of the Wichita Police Department.
Thieves are applying online for loans with the identities of victims.
"The payday loan situation is kind of unique. People are getting online and they're applying for a loan. Then, they're actually going to the business and attempt to pick up that money with fraudulent identification," said Wiemeyer.
One of the Speedy Cash locations fell victim to this crime. A woman applied for a loan online, showed a fraudulent temporary driver's license, and got away with $500.
"We always caution businesses to be very suspicious of a temporary driver's license 'cause that's exactly what they are, they're temporary," said Wiemeyer. "Couple of things you always want to do is to check the date it was issued on there and see if it's actually current."
Since Jan. 1, there have been 179 identity theft cases in Wichita.
Thieves have been taking people's identities by dumpster diving, skimming, phishing, and stealing people's identities and financial information.
"Be very vigilant about verifying all that information and make sure they have the proper ID, the proper numerous other forms of ID, other than just a fake drivers license," said Wiemeyer.
Police need help identifying this suspect. If you know the woman, call Crime Stoppers at 267-2111. To see her photo, click here.

4 ways to save money on health care
From the radical to the practical, these suggestions can help you reduce your out-of-pocket expenses.
This post comes from Jeanne Pinder at partner site Credit.com.
Once upon a time, many of us had a health insurance plan that gave us most of what we needed for a $10 or $20 co-pay.
That's no longer true: many of us now are on insurance plans with a high deductible, a high co-pay, out of network, out of pocket --- or paying a percentage of whatever costs we incur.
Come January, a couple of things will happen. First, the new health plans bought under the Affordable Care Act come into effect, covering a percentage of your costs (bronze plans cover 60 percent, silver 70 percent). That makes it important for people to know: 60 percent of what? Second, people who have never been on high-deductible plans will join the increasing number of people who have such plans, and will now learn of the new realities. A recent PwC Touchstone survey suggested that 44 percent of employers would offer only a high-deductible plan in 2014, up from 17 percent in 2013.
Prices vary, by a lot, and it's increasingly important for you to be aware of that.
So here are four radical and not-so-radical ways to save on health care costs.
1. Don't use your insurance (and always ask what stuff costs)
Or, better, compare the price insurance will pay with the price you would pay out of pocket if paying cash. How? Ask the provider for a cash or self-pay rate. Ask to pay in advance, or if there's a prompt-pay discount.
Here's an example from Gilles Frydman, a co-founder of SmartPatients.com, an online community where cancer patients and caregivers learn from each other about treatments, trials, the latest science and how it fits into their experiences. He had a nasty fall last summer; early treatment with a CT scan showed nothing serious. The pain persisted, and after a few months his provider wanted a new X-ray.
"I looked for a local X-ray place and asked on the phone how much would the X-rays be, if I paid cash," he wrote in an email. "When I went there, I was asked to sign a document stating that I would not file for any further insurance reimbursement, if I paid cash. The reason: The cash price is one-third of the regular price sent to insurance companies, which I am sure, then argue to pay one-third of the original price."
Peggy Zuckerman, who conquered kidney cancer, had a similar experience with her CT scans in early 2012. The billed price to the insurance company was $8,010, and her responsibility under her insurance plan was $4,074.85. The cash price, she learned after the fact, was $930.
2. Keep good records (and always ask what stuff costs)
This can be especially fruitful with prescription costs. Moyra Phillips of Huntsville, Ala., keeps a binder with records of what medications people in her family are taking. Many pharmacies post or print lists of prices for common drugs; she keeps a printout of current prices in that binder, and takes that with her to doctor's appointments and pharmacy visits.
She says it's easy that way to show a medication to a provider or pharmacist, ask the current price, and ask if there's another medication that would serve as well. Pharmacies and insurance plans can change prices frequently, so being able to show alternatives has allowed her to save hundreds of dollars.
Insurance can be a downside here, too; she has a medication that had a $20 copay at one pharmacy, but could be bought for $8.90 cash without insurance at another pharmacy. An increasing number of pharmacies at big-box stores (Publix, Winn-Dixie) offer some free medications, while others have low-cost medications. Costco is famous for low prices, and Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Kroger and other chains have deals, too. Also, don't overlook your local independent pharmacy.
3. Use online tools
You're not going to be price-shopping for emergency care or big-ticket items. But for places where you can choose, there are ways to find out what things will cost. There are medication price sites like goodrx.com and needymeds.com; there are price comparison sites for procedures, too. Tools at clearhealthcosts.com give cash or self-pay rates for common procedures at a range of providers in seven U.S. metro areas, and also shopping tools including the Medicare rate for a given procedure anywhere in the U.S. You can compare these results with other price transparency sites like faircaremd.com (a bid/ask marketplace like eBay); fairhealthconsumer.org (gives ballpark prices); healthcarebluebook.com (finds what it describes as "fair prices" in your area); newchoicehealth.com (you tell them what you want and they promise to find a price for you).
4. Take charge of your health and wellness
People who are actively involved in their health care have better health, and that -- no surprise -- is very cost-effective. Understand your treatment and your costs. One good way to do that, especially if you have something complicated going on: join a reputable online community of people who are knowledgeable about your issues.
Frydman calls it the network effect, which he saw first in ACOR -- the first cooperative of online communities for cancer e-patients, which he created in 1995, when his wife was diagnosed with cancer -- and now at SmartPatients.
"These networks of smart patients, suffering from serious diseases and working together with some of the best experts in their disease have revolutionized the care and the scientific knowledge about their disease," he said.
Frydman cites examples of a group that built a centralized tissue bank for a rare cancer and led to significant scientific discovery related to immune reactions, and another group that contributed to a rapid-fire study of a large patient population on the relative danger and prevalence of a significant, unreported adverse event. That study led to a significant change in labeling information.
There's another value of these groups -- which also include patientslikeme.com, psychcentral.com, the Society for Participatory Medicine, and others -- they provide a place for people to gather online and talk about, among other things, treatments and prices.
There's an active conversation out there among peers about how to save money. Join in. You'll be glad you did.

Examining the generic Socks version 5 proxy protocol
Socks is a universal proxy protocol for TCP and UDP that allows internal hosts to securely pass the firewall and authenticates users. This article describes the latest version of the Socks proxy protocol and shows how to implement it.
Many firewall admins allow direct access to the Web from the internal network but are more restrictive with other services such as FTP or SMTP. They rightfully argue that filter rules that allow a minimum of services and ports are easier to track and manage. Application Level Gateways (ALGs) provide even more granular control and are typically implemented as proxies (Figure 1a). However, the application firewall needs a proxy for each service. The Socks protocol [2] (RFC 1928, Figure 1b) treads a path between the stateful packet filter and the ALG. Socks is implemented in the Dante package [1], for example. The generic Socks proxy technology leaves the firewall in control of applications, separating networks in the Transport Layer and giving clients a fixed request port (typically 1080).

On the way to my holiday in Italy this year, I had an epiphany about the state of the world economy. I stopped for lunch in the truly miraculous Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, where Galileo Galilei is said to have dropped cannon-balls from the Leaning Tower to test his theories of motion. A few years later, Galileo invented the telescope to amass the detailed astronomical observations that were needed to prove beyond reasonable doubt the heliocentric theory of the universe — the idea that the earth revolves around the sun and not the other way round, as the Bible implied. Galileo was famously tried by the Inquisition for this heresy and decided to recant, presumably inspired by what happened to his fellow-mathematician Giordano Bruno, who was burnt at the stake for similar ideas. But after mechanically recanting, Galileo muttered under his breath the rebellious phrase for which he is still renowned: eppur si muove — "and yet it moves."
As I enjoyed my lunch in Pisa, Galileo's defiantly optimistic words echoed through my mind. "And yet it moves" seemed perfectly to describe what I had felt about the world economy and financial markets since the crisis of 2008.
For the past five years, the media and financial markets have resounded with prophecies of doom. Economists have strained to prove why life would never be the same again; why bankruptcy was inevitable for great nations such as Italy, France, Britain and even the United States, Japan and China, and why the pre-crisis decades of prosperity would have to be followed by an era of repentance — or else a Biblical Day of Reckoning would be upon us.
Yet the world has continued to turn, even as the Last Trumpets were sounding. Since early 2009, economic conditions in most of the world have been steadily improving, employment has rebounded in the United States, Britain and Asia and recently even in parts of Europe. Corporate profits have been expanding everywhere and stock markets have risen almost without interruption.
The gap between dire predictions and reality is particularly striking today in southern Europe — especially in Italy. With unprecedented unemployment, governments falling like bowling pins and the euro project crumbling, for many pundits some kind of social collapse seemed inevitable. Yet there have been no revolutions, no breakdowns of democracy, no serious public revolts, even in countries such as Italy and Spain, with recent histories of terrible political violence. Part of the explanation lies in the big advances in genuine economic prosperity and welfare provision in the pre-crisis decades. As a result, the hardship today is nowhere near as bad as it was in the 1970s and 1980s, except perhaps in Greece. Another part of the answer is that time itself is a great healer and a crisis postponed, as the euro crisis has been, eventually becomes a crisis resolved.

Demonia platform boots - Help!
Have anyone experienced the demonia platform boots to be bigger in size? I am a EU 39 and I'm not sure if I should pick a size 8 or 9. I believe I ordered a size 9 the last time I ordered demonia boots (Which was about 5 years ago) and they were too big for me, but I'm not sure. Every size chart I look at tells me differently. Some tell me I should pick a size 8, some tells me I should pick a size 9 and some even tell me to pick a size 7! Can anyone help me? Pretty please?

Isabel Allende
Adult Fiction ALLENDE
Summary: "Tell me a story no one has heard before", Eva Luna's lover asks her, and Eva Luna obliges with an enchanting medley that evokes all the pathos, love, joy, and misery of life in Latin America. Set from the humid Caribbean to the Antarctic tip of Argentina, Allende's stories capture the richness of the Latin American experience and range in theme from the extinction of Amazon tribes to the modern theory that love can conquer cancer.In The Stories of Eva Luna Allende employs magical realism to integrate dreamlike elements into the landscape of her Latin American characters. The result, a provocative collection showcasing her haunting mythic voice and fantastic imagery, prompted the San Francisco Chronicle to say, "Allende again shows her brilliance as a storyteller".

["I'm Good To Go"- 1456 reads. "All We Have"-1234 reads.] [[morons, All We Have was my first story]] [[[super morons, I'm Good To Go is the first in this series]]]
Joe laughed as Serafina reached for my lip gloss and other random things spilling from my make-up bag.
"She's such a cutie," Joe voiced from sitting on my bean bag chair to the side of my vanity. Serafina crawled back towards him and smeared purple eye shadow across his cheek.
"She can be quite a handful in public, all she wants to do is meet people," Joe smirked.
"So she really is just like Pete," I sighed as I applied the thin line of eyeliner.
"Joe, you have to keep this our little secret for now," Joe eyed my profile as he helped Serafina climb into his lap.
"Just promise me you'll eventually tell him," I broke away from the mirror to examine Serafina playing with his hoodie zipper.
"Why are you wearing a hoodie?" I asked. "It's only June," I mumbled. Joe laughed.
"It's just routine," he mumbled back. "Too used to it," I rolled my eyes and turned back to examine my make up.
"I guess I can promise you that, Joe," I turned, satisfied to place Serafina back in my lap. She cooed and placed her hand against my star earrings that sparkled under the light. Joe laughed and moved to kneel in front of me like earlier.
Serafina really was that captivating.
"Has she had her first word yet?" I shook my head.
"She's getting there though, just mumbling," Joe nodded before tucking a strand of her hair behind an ear.
"Sisi," Serafina looked mesmerized with the new name. I laughed as she stared at him with wide eyes. "Can you say Uncle Joe?" Sisi tilted her head to one side and reached out, squeezing his nose. I laughed at this as Joe winced and copied her and did the classic trick.
"I've got your nose," he spoke. Serafina snapped her hand to her face and felt for her nose before reaching towards Joe's hands and pinching his thumb and placing her hand back to her nose.
"Looks like she got it back," I smiled cockily and raised my eyebrows as Joe's dumbfounded look.
"I think she has your brain," I laughed.
"I wouldn't be surprised," I breathed out. "If she had her father's brain, /oh lord/, the troubles," Serafina blinked up at me before whipping her head to Joe.
"Hoe," she mumbled, reaching out to him. I stared wide eyed at her and Joe laughed as he took her into his lap.
"Baby, can you say that again?" I asked. Serafina looked away and became mesmerized with Joe's hoodie zipper again.
"There's no hope when she has Pete's ADD as well," I rolled my eyes and stood up as the doorbell rang.
"That should be Heather," Joe raised an eyebrow as he followed me down the stairs.
"A teenaged baby sitter?" I sighed.
"She's cool, and she's baby sat before," Joe nodded as I opened up the door and Heather beamed with a bright smile.
"Hello Miss Wenz and..." her eyes widened. "Holy freaking potroast!" she screamed. Joe laughed and turned to me.
"Fan?" I nodded and Heather came in, shrugging off her hoodie and slowly taking Serafina from Joe.
"Wait..." she mumbled, looking down at her. Joe and I exchanged looks before shaking out head wildly.
"No, no!" I shrieked, Heather giggling slightly as Serafina cooed again. "Joe's been my friend for the longest time!" Heather slowly nodded and fished something out of her purse while balancing Serafina on one hip.
"Can you sign my copy of FUCT?" Joe shrugged and I gulped as I watched the CD exchange. I practically forbid any Fall Out Boy in this house, which meant I would be getting a lecture from my own baby sitter.
I can imagine it now.
"If you hate Fall Out Boy so much, why are you friends with them?" I thought it was my imagination until Joe looked hurt. I sighed.
"Heather, it's hard to explain, but I just don't like the songs. It's the people behind the music that matter," she nodded and Joe tugged on my arm.
"Come on," he mumbled. "Err...Patrick's probably waiting," I gave a quick kiss to Serafina before walking out with him towards his car.
"So what's up with the no Fall Out Boy?" he asked. I sighed as I climbed into the passenger seat.
"To keep Serafina as far away from her father as possible," Joe nodded and understood not to bring it up the rest of the ride.
I leaned against the brick wall in the night air, too afraid to wait outside and yet freaking out about seeing Evie first hand.
It would break me in half.
My heart began to pick up a fast paced beat as I began thinking of all the possibilities of how she would look with a years passing. I mean, one year can do a lot to a person. Laughter rang out into the night and I whipped my head up to see Joe, his arm wrapped around her waist in a friendly way.
Her head was down; searching through her purse, but Joe noticed me and dropped his arm as I pushed off the wall.
"So where is that little Leprechaun I missed?" I cleared my throat from about six feet away and she glanced up, taking a double take.
Evie looked gob-smacked before I took a deep breath, my heart deciding to go rabid. I hesitated to pull my hands out of my jacket pockets, slowly widening my arms to offer a hug. Evie licked her lips nervously before pushing her purse into Joe's hand and literally running up and letting my arms scoop her into a tight grip of a hug.
"Oh god, Pete," she breathed, her legs lifting up slightly as I spun her around once.
I felt my insides twisting and her heartbeat against mine. We pulled away and caught eyes, her brown glowing with this happiness I wish I could have seen before. It's as if every bad thing from our past was forgotten with the remembrance of how much we missed, missing each other. Joe cleared his throat and Evie glanced over, laughing as he held out her purse.
"I look pretty gay holding that thing," Evie left our embrace and I cursed myself as I suddenly felt empty.
"So what are we all dressed up for?" she asked, picking up one side of her red dress, shifting her eyes from me to Joe. He laughed.
"Well, we're going to do what we do best," I raised an eyebrow.
"What exactly?" Evie nodded, holding the same clueless expression as she crossed her arms. Joe stepped forward before pointing down the street.
"Crash a high school dance!" Evie widened her eyes and smacked his arm.
"Joseph Mark Trohman!" she paused. "I am a respectful woman now," I snickered and she glanced over.
"You mean you weren't before?" she rolled her eyes and looked back at Joe. He smiled in that dorky way before crouching down slightly.
"I'll give you a piggy back ride," he sing-songed, Evie giggling as she climbed on his back. I walked next to them and shook my head as Evie gave Joe a wet-willy.
"Jesus, Ev," she smiled and rested the side of her face against his shoulder so she was facing me.
"Did you miss me?" she mouthed, trying to be secret. I felt my cheeks flare, looking away for a moment before locking our eyes again.
"Of course,"
"Dude!" Joe came running up to me from the DJ booth, where I sat at a table by myself. I raised an eyebrow.
"What?" I asked, sitting up slightly as he leaned over the table to talk to me over the music.
"You'll never guess what I requested!" I smirked as the song ended and another started.
"Joe, I love you," I mumbled. He pulled my arm. I pulled back.
"Come on, I request Sweet Cherry Pie and you don't even want to dance like a whore with me?" I frowned.
"Sorry, but it's too weird when every girl here is jealous I actually know you guys," Joe smirked before glancing around.
"Where's Pete?" he asked.
I turned and pointed towards a back table where Pete sat with a bunch of what I would think of 'The Cool Kids' of the dance. He was laughing, but it seemed forced, like he was just humoring them by sitting with them. Joe sighed and rolled his eyes.
"So he left you all alone?" he asked. I nodded but shrugged.
"I don't mind, I think it's kind of cute you two guys can mingle with everyone,"
Joe was about to respond when a girl tapped him on the shoulder, his attention being whisked away towards a different table. I rested my chin in my hand and rested my elbow on the table. I smiled while observing the dancing couples, remembering this is exactly why I never liked going to my school dances.
They reminded you of how alone in the world you were, and no matter how many friends you had, they still had that special somebody to dance with. My phone buzzed and I pulled it out of my purse and flipping up the screen.
Why so gloom?
I never realized I was frowning.
It was from Pete.
I let my eyes dance over to where he sat, the table cleared but for two girls, both giggling as they spoke to him. I rolled my eyes, typing back a response. We were at least 50 feet away from each other, tables and chairs separating us too.
/I'm not gloom, I'm just trying to remember my high school dances.../
I turned to look at him from across the room where he sat with a small smile on his features, hand briskly twirling his phone across the table as those two girls continued talking.
/Am I really that paper thin?/
Pete's smile grew as his phone began to move on its own, one girl looking annoyed as he left the conversation, flipping his phone open as he stood up. I turned back to my own sidekick, trailing my finger tips across the material of the cloth that covered the tables. It started to vibrate and I slowly opened it, flicking back the screen.
Dance with me
My heart lodged forward and my paranoia made me turn around to find Pete standing there, a small smile on his face.
"Hey there Casanova," I whispered, finding my cheeks heating. Pete laughed and looked over to the dance floor as the song slowed down and the DJ cleared his throat.
"We're gonna play a special one tonight, for all you little loves," I laughed myself, before turning back to Pete as his hand rested on my shoulder.
"Dance with me," he paused and leaned down a little more, moving his hand to offer it to me. "Please?" I nodded once before standing and letting him lead me to the dance floor. Silence for a while.
"So..." Pete cut me off.
"Where have you been?" he asked. I took a breath.
"Well, I guess I've been in Glenview," Pete frowned, his hands tightening slightly on my waist.
"Then why didn't you..." he gulped, looking saddened. "Come visit us?" he croaked. I glanced around at how happy other people looked in the embraces they shared, Pete and I a lost cause under the dim and slow lights.
I shook my head.
"Pete, I just got caught up in a lot of things, and..." he bit his lip.
"New boyfriend?" I creased my eyebrows together.
"No," I said flatly but looked away. "Joe told me about your advancements," Pete gulped and yet brought me closer to him.
"So we both made some silly mistakes in the past year," I widened my eyes.
"You're going to call your first born kid a mistake?" I whispered, my heart racing as I gulped down the truth behind that fake and lie filled statement. Pete rapidly shook his head and lowered it to my ear.
"We both know you had my first kid," I looked away again and Pete sighed, pulling away. "And it's not a mistake, it's fabricated over a fake...love,"
I locked eyes with him.
"The worst kind,"
Joe got drunk, but being the young woman that I was, I got /wasted/. I hung off of Pete in a whorish manner, my giggles loud and obnoxious.
He didn't seem to mind.
I already felt bad that I had gotten drunk, relying on Heather again to take care of Serafina. Pete smiled down at me as he took the keys from my grasp, but before he could open the door, Heather opened the door and gasped loudly. The moment Pete locked eyes with Serafina and Heather both, my mind snapped and I stood up straight.
"Hey Heather," I burped and thought of something fast as she opened the security gate, Serafina reaching out for Joe and I. I waved but slipped by before clearing my throat and widening my eyes at Heather.
"Pete," I paused to point at Heather. "This is my...room-mate, Heather," I gulped. "And her baby, Serafina," my voice dropped but I bored my eyes into Heather's. She smiled and nodded, reaching out to grace my baby into my arms.
"It's nice to meet you, I'm actually a big fan," Pete smirked and hugged her friendly before crouching slightly to wave at baby Serafina. Her eyes widened along with Joe's.
My heart began to race.
"Hi there, little baby," he laughed as she pinched his nose and opened her mouth.
"Gooo noose,"
"Awww," Heather cooed and Joe locked eyes with me, frowning as I felt my heart drop. I handed Serafina back and Pete eyed her.
"How uh, old are you?" Heather took a breath.
"17," she muttered, looking away. "Evie met me at a book store and well," Heather had a wild imagination. Trust me. "I went into labor and look where it brought us," she smiled and Serafina cooed, reaching out for Pete. Joe's arm slid around my waist and he leaned towards my ear.
"This is heartbreaking, you know," I shook my head and looked back to see Heather handing Pete baby Sisi. I stepped towards them.
"What are you doing?" I asked. Pete smirked.
"I'm going to help her put her to sleep," he laughed as Serafina played with his bartskull necklace.
I sighed, my still drunk mind clicking as Pete swayed slightly as he held Serafina, her eyes heavy. I leaned against Joe and felt my chest shake with tears. I faked it with a yawn and nodded at Heather, mouthing a thank you as Pete turned towards the stairs.
"What's the sleeping arrangement for tonight?" he asked, turning back. I turned to Joe.
"Well, the only two bedrooms we have are Serafina's, Heather's and mine," I whispered towards the end. Pete nodded and headed up the stairs. Heather snuck up to me and leaned towards my ear, cupping her hands around it.
"I'm guessing Pete's the father right?" I closed my eyes and took her hands in mine.
"I'll explain in the morning," I spoke, pushing her to follow him up the stairs, to not leave my baby alone with her unknown father. Joe rubbed my arms up and down.
"Evie," I shook my head and moved towards the stairs.
"I don't want to talk about it tonight, Joe," I whispered before crawling towards my safe haven of sleep.
Serafina was positively the sweetest baby I had ever held in my arms. What worried me was how Evie was able to hold this kind of mental stability, what, with losing one kid and then...well, not to sound coincided but, losing me. We were well on our way to perfecting a family. My thoughts ran wild as I ventured down the hall, heading towards the downstairs living room.
I deserved the couch.
A faint sob caught my attention and I stopped, turning my head down a different hall. My curious mind took me down to a bedroom door, and by the looks of it, Evie's. Using my forearm, I pushed the door back a little and snuck in, observing her body curled up over the sheets, clutching one of her stuffed cows.
"Evie," she rattled slightly and sniffed. Was she crying? I creased my eyebrows together and stepped over, sitting near her back. I bit my lip faintly and rubbed her shoulder.
"Pete, it's not good for us to get this close," she whispered, her words muffled by the pillow. I rolled her over and examined her face in the dim light of the nightstand lamp.
I frowned.
"Why are you crying?" I asked. She shook her head and moved her arm down to cover herself up.
"Goodnight Pete," she whispered, rolling back over again. I observed the empty side of the queen sized bed.
"Can I stay here tonight?" I asked. She shook her head and I frowned.
"No," I stood up and leaned to try and see her face.
"Why not?" My questions were answered by a throat being cleared at her bedroom door. I turned to see Joe in his boxers and t-shirt, holding a quilt.
"Pete, you have a pregnant girlfriend to be taking care of," Evie's breath shook again and she curled up tighter. Joe looked stern. "Don't mess with Evie's mental health," I nodded and walked to slim past him.
We brushed shoulders and I turned to see him covering her up, her voice soft as she said goodnight. I looked down at my hands and observed the blank walls that, if I can recall in the world of Evie, should have been blessed with frames of pictures of us and not bare. I opened the front door and stepped out into the summer Chicago night.
"It's just C-town and me tonight," I mumbled. "Another night alone in the city,"

Winter Haven police said someone shot 18-year-old Alicia Barnett near the Lake Conine Canal Bridge, along the Chain of Lake Trail Monday morning.
Because it was Veterans Day, the school bus she usually rides the forty miles from her home to the New Beginnings Charter School for at risk kids, wasn't running. So, police said friends drove her part of the distance and apparently dropped her off on a trail near the school.
Police Chief Gary Hester can only speculate that she has friends in a nearby subdivision. But within 40 minutes, someone shot and killed her.
Chief Hester said, "We're committed to bringing the killer/killers to justice, and we need the public's help." He said a walker found Alicia's body on the trail.
Though police continue to investigate the many leads that continue to come in, so far, there is no suspect. In the meantime, 21-year-old Lineten Belizaire, the only suspect in the murder of Alicia Barnett's sister in the Miami area last January, was just arrested again October 16, along with dozens of others including an uncle, on what police call unrelated charges: conspiracy to defraud the government of a million dollars by filing fraudulent taxes.
Belizaire was already on home confinement on second degree murder charges, accused of shooting and killing Octavia Barnett along with two others, including a toddler.
According to reports, he has denied any involvement.
Hester said, "There doesn't appear to be any connection, these are just two isolated incidents. But, my gosh, my heart goes out to the family. That they had to suffer such loss... at the hands of vicious criminals."

"Doctor Who" Trailer Better than the Episodes Themselves?
This morning at the sprightly hour of 6 a.m. the trailer for the upcoming series of Doctor Who was released, which you can watch at this link or at the bottom of this post. It was exciting, dark, fast-paced and full of lots of rather delicious looking villains but the cynic in me couldn't help but wonder…is this trailer going to be better than the episodes themselves?
The keyword in press releases and creator interviews for Doctor Who in the new era has been "EPIC." The desire to make individual episodes and the series as a whole large and cinematic is understandable, blockbusters excite people and get them talking and Classic Who was all about the huge narrative arcs that spanned over lots of episodes and were resolved at the end of the series. It's precisely those narrative arcs that I'm concerned about. The Moffat era thus far has been so concerned with visuals and the fairytale mythos so emphasised in Doctor Who publicity that they've forgotten to write really good solid stories with clever episode arcs. To be frank, I barely enjoyed the most recent series, with a couple of exceptions for The Doctor's Wife and Closing Time (but that was mainly because of Stormy) and I don't want to sit through another series of Doctor Who feeling like I'm watching a first or second draft someone's mixed up all of the pages for.
It's my hope that I'll be proven wrong, that the work will be put in to make the Doctor's rage a natural consequence of the narrative of Series 7, just as Davies masterfully did with the Time Lord Victorious at the end of the Tennant years. Perhaps, too, I am being unfair: we've only seen two trailers so far, after all. Still, it's been a consistent theme of the past couple of years that the excitement I felt watching the teaser trailers did not correlate with my reaction to those episodes and what's more, the trailers introduced characters I didn't actually care about when the episode rolled around because the groundwork wasn't there.
Still, it's a beautiful trailer, excellently edited and…yes…a little bit epic. Let's hope the series delivers all that's promised in a trailer full of cool spaceships, excited!Doctor, angry!Doctor, New York, alien revenge and sharp, dramatic soundtracks.
accurate accurate accurate accurate accurate accurate
I think Moffat has always had a great eye for stunning visuals, and if there's one thing his series has going for him, it's that. However, I just don't CARE about these characters anymore—they all retread the same emotional ground over and over again. So it's like, "Okay, if we can't hook them with characters, how about…EXPLOSIONS????"
At least it looks cool?

Comments about Kohlert Model 450 Student Alto Saxophone:
My son has payed this saxophone for the past three years now. It was ok starting out but now it is relly starting to fall apart. I had to MacGuiver it together with thread for his spring concert! It's pretty much ready for the junk heap now. I was hopeing it would at least last long enought to get him throug highschool. My son thinks the saxaphone was ok to start out with.
Comments about Kohlert Model 450 Student Alto Saxophone:
They sound nice but the quality of the horn is poor. It bends and breaks easily . Just by looking at it , you can tell right away that the material is soft and inferior.I've had it repaired twice in a year and I'm not spending another penny on it again.
Comments about Kohlert Model 450 Student Alto Saxophone:
My mom bought me this saxophone for band. I'm in fourth grade. Mom said it's ok for me to fill out this review. The Kohlert is great for a beginning band student, it has good tone and plays just as well as any other saxophone in band class. The only problem I have have is that the pearl buttons keep popping off the keys, but I have lots of glue so I guess that's ok.
Comments about Kohlert Model 450 Student Alto Saxophone:
This is a super, duper, great alto saxophone.I mean, this saxophone sounds nice when you play the C major scale. What I just love about it is that it's cheap, and that it is a Kohlert Brand.

Unique to Pacifica
We apologize for any inconvience but the Garden Form will be temprarily down. This is due to the gardens rebuilding of soil and replanting for the new season.
Thanks for your understanding,
Garden Staff
Our produce list is updated each weekend. Orders are filled and delivered on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. A $10 minimum order and a $7.00 surcharge is required for delivery (except on campus and Summerland). Please note your preferred delivery day and submit your order the day prior to allow time for harvest and delivery. Orders sent after 8:00 AM on your preferred delivery day probably won't be filled.
Our year round production from 7 acres yields magnificent produce at reasonable prices and in the most sustainable manner. Produce is available to staff, students, faculty and the community from these demonstration mini-market gardens. The farm is located at 249 Lambert Road on Pacifica's lower campus. We specialize in advanced and traditional organic growing practices and produce a wide variety of organic herbs, fruits, grains and vegetables. We practice and teach sustainable farming and seed saving techniques. We host interns and volunteers to augment the work of paid staff. If you are interested in volunteering on the farm for an exchange for food or farming education, please contact Marshall Chrostowski.
To us some important aspects of growing year-round include:
• Shunning use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.• Managing pests, soils and microhabitats following integrated pest management principles and practices. • Using organic transplants from untreated, non-genetically modified seeds. • Producing our own compost to improve soil conditions and supply basic plant nutrition. • Maintaining a system of permanent raised planting beds. • Rotating crops to minimize pests, diseases and to optimize soil fertility. • Trialing old and new varieties to discover those best adapted to this bio-region. • Maintaining habitats supporting beneficial insect life with abundant flowering plants in farm beds and surrounding gardens to support a healthier ecosystem. • Maintaining a collection of rare fava beans, ancient grains and other crop seeds.• Presenting educational programs including garden tours, workshops, and consulting.
Marshall Chrostowski is the founder of the Organic Market Gardens and the land manager for both campuses. He holds advanced degrees in soil science, plant and tropical ecology, and ethnobotany. He came to Pacifica in 1989 to renovate the long abandoned grounds and orchards. In 1990 Marshall called on Pacifica and the greater South Coast community to plant the first major grain, garlic and fava bean grow-out in the field now occupied by South Hall. By 1993, several acres had been set aside for a demonstration urban mini-farm, expanding over the next 5 years into a local food source for Pacifica's community and the greater Santa Barbara area. Seed conservation continued to be featured, accompanied by special grow-outs and workshops on seed saving and organic gardening. During the latter part of the 1990's, the farm hosted developmentally challenged individuals and their job coaches. Graduates of the program have moved on to productive working lives.
Currently we have a farm crew consisting of Barbara, Logan, Linda, and Coleen. Barbara lives in Summerland and checks on the hens and the farm on weekends. Logan is an accomplished videographer and composer/performer. Linda, an avid swimmer, has worked here the longest, starting in 1997. Coleen is an enthusiastic agrarian and mom to two tall teenage boys. Ralph Begley served for years as our marketing manager and webmaster and continues to contribute as time allows. Members of our landscape maintenance crew assist in preparing farm beds and processing organic material for the many tons of compost prepared each year.
We invite you to take a tour of the beautiful gardens. We welcome your participation in our farming tradition. To us, growing food is a life-enhancing, educational experience we want to share. Please see more information on the Pacifica web site about visiting and parking.

Let Liquid Web Lead Your Transition into the Enhanced Networking Capabilities of IPv6
As networking and the sheer number of devices utilizing IPv4 has ballooned exponentially in recent years, it has necessitated the adoption of IPv6, a protocol intended to support this growth via the use of expanded IP addresses. At 128 bits (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.) compared to IPv4's previous 32 bit addresses (e.g., 172.16.254.1.), IPv6's addresses provide the capacity for a great deal of advancement in computing. What does that mean to Liquid Web customers and those looking into our wide array of services? Most notably, significantly enhanced networking capabilities and a 24/7/365 Heroic Support® team available to provide guidance should you need assistance implementing these changes.
Other Key Advantages of IPv6:
- Larger Address Capacity (approximately 340 undecillion or 3.4 x 1038 addresses)
- IP Security (IPSec) implementation for all networks utilizing IPv6
- Simplified Packet Header for Routing Efficiency
- Enhanced Support Options for Mobile Computing Devices
- Enabling of More Advanced Communication & Collaboration Applications
- Ability to Transmit a Packet to Multiple Destinations in a Single Send Operation
Our networks are fully prepared for the approaching IPv4 address exhaustion. As of February of 2011, the last top level block of free IPv4 was assigned and the transition to IPv6 has advanced to the stage of full-scale deployment. Our Heroic Support® team and networking experts are ready to help bring your networks up-to-date today.

"The paper quality is very good and the printing is excellent. Shipping is very fast even in Italy and the staff of Wedding Paper Divas is really nice and helpful. I would recommend anyone to purchase on this website! My vote is EXCELLENT, I love Wedding Paper Divas."
"We did these in orange and the color was beautiful. We also changed the back design to be a sillouette engagement picture. Printing was great and delivered promptly. I had to reorder since we needed more invites than originally planned. Those were easy to reorder and came quicker than expected!"
"Love this invitation. I was able to have it say just what I wanted. We got the shimmer paper which is so pretty. The pink matches great with our pink and grey wedding colors. Everyone loves them. Thank you WPD!"
"I loved this look but the brown was not in my color scheme and was nervous to do a color change and having to pay before I could see it. I loved the invite so much I decided to do it and I designed it how I wanted it and submitted it. within 10 mins I had a proof emailed to me and it was exactly what I had imagined. Super fast, super cute, super cheap, super awesome"
"I ordered this card with the gray background and had it customized for us. Our names were in a yellow hence my colors are gray and yellow. It's exactly what we were looking for its modern but the font and style made it traditional at the same time. Customer service was awesome in helping with response cards as well. Recommend it! We have gotten great compliments from our guests also. It was nice to be able to personalize it with our engagement shoot photos and the pearl shimmer added a great look to the superb quality of paper."
