Dave's Pasta In Davis Square, Somerville; What IS My Problem??
- opinionatedchef Nov 3, 2010 03:11 PM
Well, I think I have just realized that it can be a disadvantage to be an 'old-time Boston foodie.'(translation, someone who has been a foodie/food professional in Boston since 1971.) The disadvantage that I have realized is this- sometimes food institutions change (for the better) AND you don't hear about it. So you go along your foodie life, making your foodie rounds, learning about brand new businesses and products, but not discovering the improvements made on an old institution.
Dave's Pasta is an 'institution' in my mind. But what is in my mind is a little pasta shop. And I'd never gone there because for the past 25 years, I have preferred( and still do) the soft and silky non-extruded pasta from Medford's Bella Ravioli. But as I discovered last week, upon beginning my monthly Dave's Pasta benefits from a WGBH auction item, what was once a little pasta shop is now a BIG Formaggio type business with tons of diverse product. My my my. Has anyone sampled a LOT of Dave's sauces and pasta flavors, and come up with favs? Thanks much.

I do like their pastas (fresh ravioli of the month, or just their cheese ravioli) but I find their sauces extremely bland, bordering on insipid. I've tried three so far and have been underwhelmed with all of them. I had the marinara, the vodka and one other one whose name is escaping me at the moment. I'm not sure if the batches I've received were problematic or if they're always like that, but I'd recommend asking for a taste before you buy.
re: chefematician
I really like their porcini mushroom ravioli; the pumpkin rav, however, is hit or miss. Sometimes too squashy and under-seasoned for me. Also, they don't last in the fridge, so you've got to use them that day or 1 day later at most or they turn. Not a knock on the pasta, just a note to anyone who wants to buy fresh but isn't going to use it right away.
Despite my general distrust of bolognese sauces not made by me -- ; ) -- I recently tried Dave's and it was pretty insipid and WAY over oregano-ed, so much so it was inedible. Also, despite listing "beef" and "pork" on the ingredients, it tasted mostly like hamburger meat sauce, which is obviously not a bolognese.
re: misscucina
Just had a "miss" version of the pumpkin ravioli a few nights ago. Filling was almost watery, definitely underseasoned, and just plain bland.
The chard and roasted garlic, and the artichoke and fontina have always been delicious every time I get them, but some of the other ravioli can definitely trend mediocre-to-bad.
I haven't had all of their sauces, but the mushroom cream sauce is quite good when I've had it, and the arugula pesto was also yummy. That said, I feel like the taste does vary from batch to batch, maybe they should standardize their recipe a bit?
- Gaby
Some sauces are just good, but the smoked tomato cream sauce and their plain old basil pesto are to die for.
I love the smoked tomato cream sauce. I use it over pasta, as a sauce for meatloaf, as as ingrediant in other pasta dishes, and when I'm really lazy, as a dip for hunks of bread.
One of my favorite raviolis is a special that contains chard and roasted garlic. The sward is given a rough enough chop that the filling has some real texture/flavor.
re: LeoLioness
oh boy, youall are being really helpful and descriptive. I did pick the smoked tomato cream sauce the other day. Whew! Brilliant suggestion for me to taste the sauces before purchase. I look forward to more comments. Thanks much.
I admit that although I know home stocks cold and exhort my non-food friends on the ease and wonderfulness of stock, I have been known to pay (relatively) high prices for their frozen stock in quarts.
I like the panforte. It doesn't stick as much to your fingers as you might think, and it's good for bringing friends on moving day, because it requires no care and can be given to tired friends at any moment.
I don't like the pastas much (I like a different recipe for pasta fresca, and I _really_ don't like the sharp corners on the noodles from the cutter). I also don't like the frozen lasagnas, which I con myself into every couple of years or so.
I tend to like whatever veggies are in the pre-prepared case. They're not better than I can make at home, but they're about as healthy and worth it if I'm tired. See butternut squash/onion mix, marinated mushrooms, roasted beets, spinach.
I like the smoked tomato cream sauce as well. Not as much some of the other sauces.
re: enhF94
enh, that panforte is REAlly terrific. i polished that wedge off FAST.i was a bit concerned that the fig base would result in a cloyingly sweet product, but that was not the case. The fresh flavor of the hazelnuts and almonds was quite distinct and i particularly liked the orange component and the cocoa coating. I try almost every panforte i can, and this is even better than those sold at formaggio and whole foods. i must admit that i suspect that they do not make it at dave's, but buy it and repkg it. I wonder if anyone knows........
re: opinionatedchef
Agreed on all points, including the repackaging. Sad that you're not the first to abbreviate me "enh" - sensible and totally my responsibility for picking an obscure username.
Here are tips for shopping at Dave's. Print coupons from the website. One gets you a free pound of pasta with the purchase of a pint of sauce. The other gets you $2 off two pounds of ravioli. Also, I just learned that the ravioli and tortellini in the freezer case are not made by Dave's. The woman who waited on me wouldn't say where they're from.
re: Velda Mae
That's odd, the raviolis in the freezer are indistinguishable from the fresh ones to me (and they're exactly the same varieties). Maybe she meant the gnocchi or something?
Honestly, I've just been underwhelmed with Dave's. Even the texture of the pasta was just not my bag.
Guess I am spoiled by homemade and memories of Biagi when they were still in the North End.
re: StriperGuy
Have you tried Bella?
re: StriperGuy
(aroma, i'm in your chorus) yes, stripes, have you? (see my just posted thread!)
re: StriperGuy
Or what about Trio (before it expanded and before the lovely Tony passed). That was a weekly stop for me on my way home.
re: Small Plates
Oh, to munch once more on Trio's tortellini pizza. Sigh.
re: Small Plates
Oh, Trio's...their mushroom tortellini. Thanks for bringing that memory back.
re: StriperGuy
so far, i agree with you about Dave's pasta. I tried scalion pasta last night. After being impressed that it had a nice thin translucency to it (I bought sheets and cut it myself) I was totally unimpressed by the lack of scallion flavor(even though it certainly appeared to have lots of scallion flecks in it) and most of all, the fact that it was anything but silky, and took forEVER to cook. whoever heard of fresh pasta taking forever to cook? needless to say, i don't get it.
re: opinionatedchef
A better question is whoever heard of scallion pasta ?
re: pondrat
what a very odd thing to say about an american pasta shop. rip van winkle maybe?
re: opinionatedchef
I assure you I've been wide awake for the better part of the last 58 years (except for a few years in the early 70's) :-) ....
Scallion ON pasta...Yes... Scallion IN pasta ? Why ?
That said I've had some excellent scallion sauces on fresh pasta where you could actually taste the scallion. I've also had it in ravioli where I got the full impact of the flavor.
re: opinionatedchef
Have the same opinion of the scallion pasta - cannot discern the "scallion'ness" of it.
re: Small Plates
whew, vindicated! thnx much.
re: Boston_Otter
To B_O's point, their Cubano and their Mushroom, Artichoke, Arugula, Fresh Mozzarella pannini are two of the best sandwiches I've had around here.
re: pondrat
Great. Satisfy the carnivores and veggies alike. My only quibble with some of the sandwiches is the thickness of the excellent bread. Sometimes I find it overwhelms the filling a bit. Just a personal preference, I guess.
re: Boston_Otter
I like Dave's sandwiches too, but I always keep them cold, because toasted bread + thick sandwich = scratched-up mouth.
A few thoughts from a regular:
The sandwiches are awesome.
The tomato-based sauces can indeed be a bit bland. I like the lemon parmesan cream sauce a lot, and also find that often the raviolis go best with a simple olive-oil-and-garlic sauce whipped at home - it lets the flavor of the raviolis through more.
The produce is not always reliable.
Their wine selection is great if you're looking for interesting European wines over $10. Cheap and New World wines are much more limited.
They recently started selling $10+ "chef-prepared" entrees on Thursday and Friday evenings; has anyone here tried them?
I don't know what your problem is, because Dave's ROCKS!
The sandwiches there are awesome. Have to confess, have not had the pasta!
The nutmeg cream sauce, which is only available in the winter, is delicious. I use it with their tomato pasta, cut papardelle, and add lobster, spinach and pine nuts. Fab. I also like the smoked tomato cream and I personally think the Bolognese is fantastic. The pesto is very good as well. I always like the butternut ravioli. The mushroom were just not mushroomy enough for me. I love their pressed vegetarian sandwich and in fact have never in the many years I have been going there got anything else - I love it so much. We don't buy their veg or meat because I have other sources for this stuff, but I do buy the crab meat from time to time because at $12 a container, it is very reasonable. I like Dave's.
re: Small Plates
gee small, that lobster dish sounds TERRible (not)!! nice combo there. thanks to all of you for these recommendations. it's all very helpful.
I actually prefer Dave's pasta to Capone's, Wilson's, or Whole Foods. Seems to have a bit more egg and isn't mushy. The cheese or spinach ravioli are both good comfort food, but my favorite ravioli so far is the roasted garlic-chard that Leo Lioness recommends. It isn't always available, though.
I haven't been a fan of the tomato-based sauces with the exception of the smoked tomato (makes a good dip) because they are sometimes a bit sweet for my taste, but have enjoyed the artichoke-lemon pesto, the garlicky alfredo and the tapenade. I also like to buy their ricotta in bulk when I make ravioli.
The selection of Italian meats is pretty good, and I've enjoyed the flank steak, eggplant parm and the excellent grilled portobellos from the prepared foods. Both the cubano and the muffaletta are terrific sandwiches. It's nice to buy the cubano unpressed and then press it at home at dinner time.
I do need to get to Bella soon.
re: opinionatedchef
I'm like a broken record on this, cause I use cast iron for everything.
But this morning for breky I had a pressed grilled cheese.
Sharp cheddar, rye, mustard, onion.
Two hot cast iron pans, sangwich in da middle. Makes a great pressed sandwich.
re: opinionatedchef
I use a cast iron grill pan, and then a heavy rectangular Lodge bacon/panini press if I'm doing one sandwich, or my Lodge (not quite an AC, but still pretty good!) dutch oven with a couple of tomato cans in it to get two sandwiches at once. Always a bit precarious, but just adds to the thrill of the sandwich.
Two cast iron pans would work perfectly, and maybe be a little less tippy.
re: StriperGuy
pass me that there cinder block.....................
re: StriperGuy
You're a fragile lot. The only way to press a sandwich is the old-fashioned way -- with hot, bare feet.
re: FoodDabbler
I have been known to sit on sandwiches to meld them, albeit well wrapped in foil first.
re: somervilleoldtimer
Did you mean meld as in "to combine", or did you intend to say "melt"? If you can melt sandwiches by sitting on them, you are one hot oldtimer.
re: FoodDabbler
Oh, FD -- you made me laugh out loud! No, I really did mean "meld", i.e, warm things so that the flavors flow together. I actually learned that trick from reading M.F.K. Fisher. And if I sit long enough, there may be some melting too.
well, one thing to report so far. the ricotta pea ravioli s--cks. yuuuuck. all it is is ricotta and likely frozen whole peas; no seasoning, no mascarpone or egg or parm......... Pasta so thick it took way long to cook through, resulting in the filling being grainy/worthless. Even my carbonara type parm cream w/ bacon and shiitakes- couldn't save those insipid little suckers. phooey. and the ravs themselves were very poorly 'pressed' resulting in them not being separate and needing to be cut apart. i wonder if i can get them to let me substitute a cubano sandwich or 2, in place of "1 lb ravs+ 1 lb pasta+ 1 sauce" for one of the months of my 12 mo.WGBH Auction certificate>>>
Has anyone out there met Dave(or is there a different owner now)? Is he a "we care" kind of guy like Ihsan at Formaggio?
re: opinionatedchef
I believe the raviolis are meant to be cut apart at home. (Either that or the folks at Dave's are totally incompetent.)
Dave is still the owner and is often there. He has a short beard and salt and pepper hair (second column from the left on this page: http://www.davesfreshpasta.com/about....). I'm sure he would be interested in your feedback.
re: opinionatedchef
Yes, all the raviolis are meant to be cut at home.
I have had the best luck with the fresh ravioli and in particular the seasonal / monthly specials. The roasted garlic and chard ravioli mentioned above are quite good,
Since this thread keeps coming up, I'd like to defend the supposedly "horrible" pasta at Dave's.
I had some the other day, on a lazy day when we didn't feel like making dinner. We also picked up some of their sauce.
Is it the best pasta anywhere? No. Best even in Boston? Probably not.
But it is still better than what you might find at probably 90% of the so-called Italian restaurants out there. Probably closer to 95% or even more.
If you have a good source of pasta that is convenient to you, or make your own, congrats. But that doesn't mean Dave's flat-out sucks.
P.S. "ravioli" is already plural.
re: Alcachofa
I agree. I use Dave's sheets for my homemade ravioli, and think the quality is quite good. They also work well (blanched for a minute or so) in lasagna. Dave's pasta seems to be a bit silkier than Capone's or Wilson Farm, the other two places that are convenient for me to get to.
Wilson Farm
10 Pleasant St, Lexington, MA 02421
I have been a long time fan of Dave's and the pasta and also a long time fan of Bella. At Dave's I've liked the porchini mushroom ravioli and the squash ones. There have been special ones too that I liked as well. Don't overcook - no more than 6 min in already boiling water. I also get sheets of Dave's pasta for when I do lasagna and don't pre-cook them at all -- just treat them like no-boil noodles. The whole wheat pasta and my veggie lasagnas go great together -- I kid you not!
Other items I pick up at Dave's when I am in are wine and bread and cheese. I have also gotten crab/crackers/produce. Definetely certain items can be expensive. Dave is a really nice guy and is always friendly when I see him in the store, taking time to recommend wines or whatever.
At Bella I tend to go for the shaped pasta, ziti or fusilli, or some other. I also get their frozen pumpkin ravioli now and again. I love that they are open on Sunday morning.
I've never been to Bella's. When I buy fresh pasta, I go to Capone's in Union Square, somerville, which has great pasta, cheese, amazing frozen pasta dishes, and wonderful olives.
I was underwhelmed by Dave's pasta and also by the sauce, which was okay but not more than that. The sandwiches, however, are terrific. I'm still thinking about the steak and blue cheese sandwich. They are quite pricey, and more palatable with a Groupon or something (that's how I got there in the first place) but they are tasty enough to be worth it as a treat now and then. Plus interesting odds and ends to buy as you're waiting. Thanks for the tip on the panforte, too.
re: somervilleoldtimer
the reason bella's pasta is so superior to capone's and dave's and all the other extruded pasta makers in boston(basically everybody) is that it is soft and silky from being rolled through rollers, not extruded (forced through with pressure). hope you'll try bella for fresh pasta. i've not tried their ravs., only their sheets and taglierini cut fresh pasta.
also, bear, re: making your own ravs w/ sheets: i have had fun with the help of robert and michael doing special orders for me at bella. for instance, i take down chopped cilantro and lime zest which they have added into their dough; and with my chicken cilantro filling, they have made the finished ravs for me.Cheating for sure but delish and the best of both worlds!
re: opinionatedchef
Dave's angel hair, spaghetti, fettuccine, parpadelle, and ravioli is rolled, not extruded.
Dave's will make any type of pasta/ravioli you want if you order at least 5lbs. If you are adding ingredients (like scallions) to pasta, it needs to start with a strong taste. It will only diminish further as the pasta cooks.
re: steve999
rolled? well i'll be darned. then i don't know why it's tough and flavorless and worthless imho.
re: somervilleoldtimer
I though it was just me........... the fresh cut to order pasta is not all that.
However there is so much more to love about Daves. The pumpkin ravioli with smoked tomato cream sauce has always been a perfect match, the wines are unusual and reliable,
they use real glass for their wine tasting (very unusual) and everyone who works there is nice. It's one stop shopping, high quality, fairly priced and great sandwiches and a good scene.
re: holldoll
Agree with all points, HollDoll. Dave's is a fabulous operation. The pasta is not tough and flavorless. It is not the *best* I have had, but it is serviceable. That smoky tomato cream sauce is very good! One of my fav pairings is the nutmeg cream sauce and the tomato pasta, cut fettucine width, which I serve with chunks of lobster tail, asparagus and pine nuts. It is one delicious dish! :)
re: Small Plates
What a lovely dish with texture, color and complementary favors- and the needed spark of acid- from the pasta.
I'm a little late to the part here, but wanted to chime in as I love Dave's and miss it terribly after my move to the 'burbs.
Dave's traditional basil pesto is my absolute favorite. Once my then-boyfriend-now-husband introduced me to it five years ago all other pesto's are measured against Dave's.
I also love their plain cheese tortellini. Again, it's what I measure all other fresh/frozen tortellini against (and unfortunatley, more often than not the others come up short). I'm suprised that someone said that this is not made by Dave's? And I am a fan of the fresh lemon pepper pasta.
Finally, they sell this great focaccia bread- either rosemary or parmasean and I just love it. My husband and I have been known to buy a tub of pesto and one of these breads and then just eat that (dipping bread into pesto) w/a salad for dinner.

PHOENIX (AP) - An appeals court in San Francisco is scheduled to hear arguments Tuesday over an Arizona law that denies bail to people who aren't authorized to be in the country and are charged with certain felonies, such as murder or sexual assault.
The case will be heard by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Proponents say the law prevents people who aren't authorized to be in the country and skip out on their bail from committing future offenses.
Critics say the law's real intent is to punish immigrants before they have been convicted of crimes.
A three-member panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals previously rejected a challenge to the no-bail law, but the challengers succeeded in getting an 11-member panel of the court to consider the case.

Trouble Shooting (transfers)
problems occur when printing or burning transfers. Your laser printer will intermittently
produce a bad print, for no apparent reason. Accept that fact and move on. The
following offers solutions and prevention of possible repeating problems.
My cartridge worked fine. Now the image I burn looks like
a ghost image.
If you use your printer for both regular
& sublimation printing, did you forget to switch cartridges when you finished
a regular printing job? 350 degrees will force even regular toner to transfer
a very faint image to a metal or fabric.
cartridge worked fine. Now the transfer looks way too dark and trashy.
you increase the print density setting to use your printer for document printing
and forget to decrease it, when you put the sublimation cartridge in?
I am trying to print a solid, filled logo about 8 square
inches. it looks bad. Why?
It is worthwhile to examine
this potential difficulty in detail because it is a limitation in technology,
rather than a problem with the cartridge, that causes it. Sublimation
toner goes on the drum much heavier than regular toner (that is why you must use
a low print density). In general terms, this happens because the laser light puts
a positive charge on the drum, to attract the toner. The heavier the print it
is trying to copy the heavier the charge. Even the best, heavy duty, long life
drum available (which is what we use) will only accept so much of a "charge".
At some point it will "max" out and not do a good job. You could compare
it to a magnet. No matter how strong the magnet is, it will only pick up so many
iron filings. Reduce the size of the logo until you get an acceptable print.
I get occasional light areas near the bottom corners of
borders I am trying to print.
Sometimes, thick sublimated
borders are more difficult for your printer to produce than fairly heavy logos.
Keep in mind the preceding difficulty and answer and add this fact. Unlike the
charge put on a drum for text (which is done randomly and uses the entire drum,
over a period of time) a long vertical line will "wrap" around the drum
several times: in the same place. Also, a thick border will often use more toner
than the text of a message. Keeping borders no thicker than 4 pt. will usually
eliminate the problem. If you want to beef-up the look of a boarder, try using
a double line. For example, you can create a very nice, double line 8-pt. border
effect. Create a 4-pt. line, a 2-pt. space and then a 2-pt. interior line. Use
6-pt. for smaller plates. It looks elegant and gives no problems.
When I burn a metal plate the letters look "runny"
problem is nearly always cause by too much time and temperature. Reduce one of
them. The polymer coating on the metal is getting too hot, melting, and then spreading.
I sometimes get shadows on my transfers
is most often caused by moisture in the paper and is usually only an intermittent
problem. If you don't leave your laser printer on, all the time, turn it on first
thing in the morning. The slight heat buildup in the printer itself is usually
enough to eliminate the moisture. This problem can be managed by storing the bulk
of your paper in your best temperature controlled room. Too high a print density
can also cause a frequent problem. It is also possible an incorrect or inconsistent
temperature in your printer fuser rod can cause this problem. The last solution
we can offer seems to work with enough printers to make it worth trying: Just
simply open the lid of the printer (where you insert the catridge) for three seconds
and then close it. Print three transfers and see if the problem doesn't start
Sometimes, when
I burn a plate, some letters look like they have "exploded"
is usually caused by excess moisture in the paper. Steam from that moisture can't
go up when you pull the heat press head down, so it explodes sideways and takes
part of the toner with it. Storing paper in a temperature-controlled room, until
you load it in your tray, will help. If you are having a lot of problems and have
already printed a lot of transfers for the job, try this: Keeping the heat press
up, just lay the transfer on the bottom platen for about 5 seconds to dry. Then
take it off, align your plate and start your burn.
see a consistent light "streak" going across my transfer
is most commonly seen when a drum has been damaged by over exposure to light (see
Light Kills, on our "Helpful Hints" page)
and you are trying to print heavy lines, like thick borders, and big logos. It
will show up as a light band going left to right, across the paper. You may be
able to manage the problem. Try changing the page orientation from portrait to
landscape. This may place a logo in a position where the drum is not damaged.
In the case of borders, try to make the longest lines run left to right and reduce
the thickness of the borders if you can. If this doesn't work, there is still
a good chance the sublimation cartridge can be used to print just lighter common
text. The charge a drum needs to pick up toner for heavy print is much lighter
for normal text.
I get intermittent
specks and spots on plates I burn
Dust and dirt most
often cause this problem. Frequently cleaning the printer will help manage the
problem. Remember, even the paper going through the printer creates dust.
Sublimation Cartridge Care
best care you can give your sublimation cartridge is to protect it from humidity,
dust and especially light. If you drop or even bump your cartridge sharply
an excess of toner may come out on your drum. It is not a good idea to try and
wipe the drum. It is better to print blank pages, until you no longer see anything
on the paper, to clear the drum.
While we always stand ready to serve
(we have even spent many dollars helping solve customer problems that had nothing
to do with our cartridges), the wise professional understands that sublimation
is part art and part science. Problems of science can be solved. Problems of art
must be managed. We ourselves have burned 100 plates (we do a lot of
testing) and had 90 of them look terrific and 10 look like junk! Using the same
cartridge and printer we have also made 200 transfers and had each one perfect.
We ourselves didn't know why there was a difference, except maybe Gremlins.
We do know that if dust, dirt, temperature and humidity are controlled and
even minimal equipment maintenance performed, you will have a lot less aggravation.

Everyone goes crazy for these golden nuggets for good reason—the crisp exterior yields to rich, melted, cheesy goodness, quite possibly making them the ultimate indulgence. Little ones prefer them plain, but when I serve these to adventurous older kids and adults, I add some chopped jalapeno peppers and cooked bacon to ramp up the flavor.
Yield: About 16
Cook macaroni and cheese according to package directions.
While the mac and cheese is cooking prepare a white sauce. Melt butter in a medium-sized, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 2 minutes. Slowly add half and half while whisking so the mixture is smooth and not lumpy. Cook for about 5 minutes, whisking occasionally, until the mixture is thickened. Stir in salt and set aside. When macaroni and cheese is finished cooking, and you've added the cheese packet and milk according to the package directions, stir in the white sauce and fold in the grated cheese. Pour mixture out onto a plate and place in the refrigerator until it's completely cold. It will be sticky.
Place the flour in one bowl, the egg in another and the bread crumbs in a third bowl. Using damp hands, form the cold macaroni mixture into balls about the size of a walnut, making sure to pack them tightly to remove any air pockets. Roll each ball through the flour, dip in the egg, and roll through the bread crumbs.
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. When all the balls are prepared, heat 2 inches of canola oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until it's about 350-375 degrees. If you don't have a thermometer, drop a 1 inch chunk of bread in the oil. If it simmers and begins to brown in about 60 seconds, the oil is ready. If the oil begins to smoke, turn down the heat. Fry the macaroni and cheese balls in the oil, turning occasionally so they brown evenly, for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown. Place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet and keep warm in the oven as you fry the additional batches. Serve immediately, garnished with parmesan cheese.

New Insect Problems
Jeff Gore
I have been working as a research entomologist in Mississippi for a little over six years now. The beginnings of my career as an entomologist date back to when I was an undergraduate at Auburn University. I love to hunt and fish and my initial choice was to become a wildlife biologist. As part of the curriculum for wildlife biology, I was required to take a general entomology course, and I began working for the pecan Extension Entomologist, Dr. John McVay. I really enjoyed my time "checking" pecans for insect pests, and I began talking to some of the other entomology professors about the opportunities available for entomologists.
Auburn still had an undergraduate program in entomology, and I decided to change majors. During the summers, I spent most of my time on the road traveling to pecan orchards throughout south Alabama. As I mentioned, I love to hunt and fish, so I used that travel time to my advantage.
I also worked with other Extension specialists in the Auburn system, most notably Dr. Ron Smith, the cotton Extension entomology specialist. I remember being around Dr. Smith during the summer of 1995. His phone rang constantly during a large part of that summer because tobacco budworms were absolutely destroying the cotton crop despite numerous pyrethroid applications. That is where I got my first taste of what insecticide resistance really meant.
Fortunately, Bollgard cotton was released by Monsanto during the 1996 season. By that time, I was finishing my education at Auburn and had decided to go to graduate school at Louisiana State University to work for Dr. Roger Leonard on cotton insect problems.
It turns out that my decision was the correct one. One major difference with cotton compared to other crops is that there always seems to be another insect pest "waiting in the wings." Tarnished plant bugs and bollworms have long been considered pests of cotton, but their status was never considered equal to that of the boll weevil or tobacco budworm.
For many years, we could effectively control boll weevils and tobacco budworms with synthetic insecticides. The organochlorines, including DDT, were the first synthetic insecticides introduced that effectively controlled all insect pests in a cotton field. Within a relatively short period of time, the first reports of control failures with these "miracle insecticides" began to be reported. During the 1960s, resistance to the organochlorines was documented and was widespread in several insect pests in multiple crops, including boll weevils and tobacco budworms.
During 1996, transgenic Bollgard cotton was released for commercial production. This technology provided a new delivery system for insecticides where the actual protein toxin is produced within the cotton plant's tissue. We are now well into the second generation of transgenic cottons, including Bollgard II and WideStrike. Similarly, eradication has eliminated the boll weevil as a key pest in most areas of the United States.
The "new" insect problems that we currently face in Mississippi are not really different from the problems we faced in the past. When you consider the history of insecticide resistance in cotton, the industry has always responded with a better "mouse trap" that temporarily alleviated the problem. The chemical and technology industries are currently searching for the next "mouse trap." A new in-plant trait or foliar insecticide that will provide control of tarnished plant bugs is the "Holy Grail" for the chemical industry right now. However, there does not appear to be anything coming in the near future for tarnished plant bug control. Because of that, the old standard insecticides such as acephate and dicrotophos will remain an important component of IPM in conjunction with some of the newer insecticides such as the neonicotinoids and Diamond.
Producers should not panic just yet when it comes to the tarnished plant bug. I am confident that the next innovation in insect control will come eventually. Until that time, we will must manage the available tools that we have to minimize the impact of plant bugs on cotton yields.

The Spokane Chiefs lost for the third straight time in as many meetings to the Seattle Thunderbirds this week, as a 3 goal third period lifted Seattle to a 4-2 win over the Chiefs in Kent, WA Saturday night. With the loss, Spokane fell 2 points back of the Thunderbirds into 4th place in the U.S. Division.
Seattle jumped out to a 1-0 lead midway through the first period on an Alexander Delnov goal at 11:52. The Chiefs would even the game on a Mitch Holmberg power play goal late in the second to send the game to the third period 1-1. It was Holmberg's league leading 33rd of the season and 11th power play goal, 3rd in the WHL. Colton Bobyk and Jason Fram picked up the assists as Spokane outshot Seattle 15-4 in the period while generating 5 power play chances.
The Thunderbirds would re-take the lead on an Ethan Bear goal just 2:10 into the third period to make it a 2-1 game. Spokane would counter on the penalty kill as Adam Helewka forced the puck free from Bear and Connor Chartier rifled home the loose puck for a shorthanded goal at 5:05 of the period to tie the game at two. Seattle would get the eventual game winner on a power play goal from Ryan Gropp at 10:20 of the 3rd to take a 3-2 lead and would wrap up the win on an empty net goal with 30 seconds remaining.
Spokane outshot Seattle 30-22 in the game, going 1-7 on the power play and 5-6 on the penalty kill.

What is it?
Hydrographics or Camo Dipping.
Water transfer printing, also called hydrographics or camo dipping, is the process that transfers an image or pattern to a 3D surface. Traditional printing methods cannot fully print on 3D objects, especially if there are hard to reach areas, or if the object is odd shaped. The water transfer printing process eliminates these issues by submerging the item into water, covering the whole surface.
The hydrographics process can be done on any material that can hold a base coat and that can be submerged into water safely. Materials such as metals, wood, plastic, stone, Bakelite, and ceramic, are ideal for dipping.
What is MyDipKit?

Comfort and Convenience
Redesigning the chassis created more interior cabin area, enabling an emphasis on comfort. Seat comfort is enhanced by a new spring design and improved cushioning material.
Passenger space is improved by two more inches of front shoulder room, additional headroom, and extra rear-seat leg room. Footwell lighting has been added for greater convenience. The roomier interior features a 60/40 flat-folding rear seat (all models) and a wide flat load floor (5-Door) that provide plenty of flexible storage solutions. Double layer door seals and new framed windows improve Noise Vibration and Harshness (NVH) for a quieter cabin.
Additionally, the models boast enhanced, wider-opening rear doors that present easier entry and exit for passengers while the shifted angle of the C-pillar allows for more head clearance as passengers maneuver in and out.
The state-of-the-art interior incorporates a 4-speaker audio system with single-disc in-dash CD player (Outback Sport includes a 10-speaker, 6-disc CD system), available auxiliary inputs, pre-wiring for satellite radio, and capabilities for the available touch-screen GPS navigation system.
Included in the Impreza lineup is the available high-tech SRS Circle Surround® Automotive system.1 This system utilizes a number of audio enhancement techniques so passengers hear original cinema-quality sound from every seating position.
Safety and Security
Every Subaru model has been designed to achieve the highest crash-test rating in its class. Intended to protect its passengers in an impact, Impreza models feature the ring-shaped reinforcement frame body structure, along with a new high-tension material used around the cabin for stronger design and passenger protection. A new bumper beam was constructed to further enhance collision absorption performance. Now standard on WRX and Outback Sport and available on Impreza 2.5i is Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), which helps the driver retain handling control through management of the engine and braking system. The new braking system provides improved braking over the 2007 Impreza models.
Inside, 2008 Impreza vehicles are equipped with an Advanced Frontal Airbag System with a front passenger occupant detection system sensor, and standard front, side, and side-curtain airbags (SRS).2 Complementing these interior safety components are the new standard side-curtain airbags; 3-point seatbelts for all seats, including height adjustable for outboard positions; and a safety pedal system, which folds the pedal assembly forward in a severe frontal impact to help reduce injury to the driver, now including the clutch pedal as well as the brake pedal. The numerous passive-safety components help minimize the effects of an impact.
Experience the Excitement
With the new design and added technology, the 2008 Impreza models improve upon the power and performance characteristics for which the lineup is known. And features like the now-standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System, 16.9-gallon fuel tank, and speed-sensitive audio volume adjustment make the 2008 Impreza models more comfortable, stylish, and desirable.
1 SRS and symbol are trademarks of SRS Labs, Inc.
2 The airbag Supplemental Restraint System ( SRS ) affords the driver, and the front and rear outboard passengers, additional protection in moderate-to-severe frontal and side-impact collisions. This system provides supplemental protection only, and seatbelts must be worn in order to avoid injuries to out-of-position occupants upon airbag deployment, and to provide the best combined protection in a serious accident. Children should always be properly restrained in one of the rear seats.
The 2.5i 5-Door model has 19.0 cu. ft. of cargo space with rear seats in the upright position and up to 44 cu. ft. with the seats down. Both 4-Door and 5-Door models come standard with 16" wheels and Bridgestone Potenza® all-season tires.
Wheelbase has increased 3.7" to 103.1", which, along with increases in track, improves ride and handling and contributes to the increased interior space.
This model boasts a two-tone exterior color, 17" 6-spoke aluminum alloy wheels with high luster paint, complemented with Bridgestone Potenza all-season tires, and heated exterior mirrors. The inside features a leather-wrapped steering wheel with mounted audio and cruise control switches, a 10-speaker stereo system with 6-disc CD player, and heated front seats.
The new WRX body weighs 50 lbs. less. Lighter weight, a longer wheelbase, and wider track help improve ride and handling. The greater dimensions also contribute to increased interior space and utility.
Exclusive to the WRX is the available Aero Package, which includes:

Golden Sun: Dark Dawn - NDS for DS
A classic role-playing game branches out with a new look, countless adventures and heroic battles. The game picks up 30 years after the first two games in the series left off. At the end of Golden Sun: The Lost Age, the heroes succeeded in bringing the world-healing power of the Golden Sun back to the world of Weyard. In the years since, the immense power of the Golden Sun has changed nearly everything. Continents have shifted. New countries have emerged. New species have appeared. But the world is now imperiled by a new threat. Psynergy Vortexes, which suck the elemental Psynergy from both the land and power-wielding Adepts alike, are spreading across the world. The new generation of heroes – the children of those from the previous games – are drawn into the mystery behind the vortexes, as they cross a chaotic world that is succumbing to a new evil.

Keep it trimmed, go old school -- and be prepared for extra attention.
By Kristen Dold
Has Hollywood finally grown tired of the urban hipster beard and seven day stubble? It would appear so, according to the finely trimmed lip foliage of men like James Franco, Colin Farrell, and Jason Sudeikis. (Even Justin Bieber's upper lip hair is showing signs of life.) And while the facial fur is often associated with vintage porn stars, dictators, and washed up country stars, the resurgence isn't unwelcome by all: "Mustaches for some look new again and depending on the face and personality can fit well," says Vaughn Acord, owner of Mizu salon in New York City and stylist to celebs like Tom Brady, Ashton Kutcher, and Bruce Springsteen. Below, Acord lays out his rules for getting your Tom Selleck on:

The dilemma: Your awkward teen years are way behind you, but you still get the occasional pimple brought on by greasy skin. (Case in point: Sebastian Stan seen here at Comic Con.) Lots of men have overactive sebaceous glands, which can lead to small pools of excess oil on the face. The good news for guys like Stan is that slick skin ages better and is less prone to wrinkles. The bad news: You look unprofessional and sloppy. Check out these five products made to keep shine at bay.

What The Papers Say - 1 July
A round-up of Monday's Everton related newspaper coverage.
The views on this page are taken from the local and national media and do not necessarily reflect the views of Everton.
With the summer transfer window now officially open, the Daily Mirror have compiled a club-by-club guide of the Premier League examining all the potential transfer activity that could take place between now and the end of August.
The paper claims that selling Leighton Baines and Marouane Fellaini would bring in excess of £38million which could then be reinvested in new recruits. Leroy Fer, Keisuke Honda, Gary Hooper and Arouna Kone's names are all mentioned as possible targets for new manager Roberto Martinez.
Another Wigan Athletic man, Antolin Alcaraz, is said to be nearing a switch to Goodison Park, according to Monday's Liverpool Echo. The article claims that the Paraguay international, who is available on a free transfer after his contract expired at the DW Stadium, could become a Blue in time for Everton's first pre-season fixture against Austria Vienna.
The Liverpool Echo also features an interview with Ross Barkley who is encouraging Baines to remain at Everton despite last week's reported interest from Manchester United.
Further stories regarding the Red Devils' enquiry for Baines appear in the Daily Mail, Daily Express and The Guardian as the papers examine David Moyes' immediate tasks at Manchester United. The Scot officially begins his reign at Old Trafford from today.

Laying the Groundwork: Romeo & Juliet
A Prologue exchange with Romeo & Juliet set designer Michael Ganio and costume designer Christina Poddubiuk
MICHAEL GANIO (MG) is a longtime set and costume designer with Oregon Shakespeare Festival (OSF), having designed everything from Shakespearean productions to contemporary plays on OSF's varied performing spaces. This time he is designing for Denver Center Theatre Company, in collaboration with director Scott Wentworth.
CHRISTINA PODDUBIUK (CP) is a Canadian designer currently based in Stratford, Ontario. She studied at the National Theatre School of Canada, and worked many theatre jobs before becoming a designer at the Stratford Festival.
Prologue: Michael, Christina: Can you tell me first what period the Denver Center Theatre Company (DCTC) production of Romeo & Juliet is set in?
MG: Director Scott Wentworth's concept is to keep the play in the Elizabethan era, probably around 1590 and up. It's a very elegant, lush, and stylish period to re-create onstage.
P: Let's start with the set. You're designing for DCTC's Stage Theatre, which has a thrust stage rather than a proscenium. Is that a challenge?
MG: Yes and no. I've designed for every theatre at Oregon Shakespeare—thrust stages, proscenium, three-quarter round. Each theatre makes its own design demands—DCTC's Stage Theatre is a thrust, which allows the action to move downstage more. The Stage was originally designed by OSF's Richard L. Hay, so I'm very well acquainted with it. Sightlines are one of the first issues for The Stage or any other theatre—I don't want my sets to be aimed just at the expensive seats, I want the entire audience to have a clear view of the set and the action.
P: Will we see a classic Shakespearean set à la the Globe Theatre?
MG: No, indeed. My set will be very streamlined, almost a neutral space for the action to take place on. In a sense, the set will work as a frame to set off Christina's gorgeous, detailed Elizabethan costumes—as well as the swift action of the play. Having a beautiful neutral surrounding will highlight the costumes and free up Christina to use whatever palette she decides on. We're also designing all the props—the detail, color, size and style of the props works with the costumes to create the world of the play. Our goal is to enable the audience to actually hear the play, to engage their imaginations, without a lot of visual distraction. We want them to follow the story, to be entertained, but also to fall in love with Shakespeare's language.
P: You used a great metaphor involving dinner plates—
MG: Yes! I like to think of the set as a plate—and the action of the play as the meal that goes on that plate. The plate by itself means nothing, but it is crucial to serving the meal.
P: There's so much more to set design than many people realize—not only research and sketches and building a scale model, and turning sketches into blueprints. Do you have an assistant?
MG: I don't have an assistant. In a way, DCTC's amazing design studio manager, Lisa Orzolek, acts as my assistant here. I do send a quarter-inch model of the set to Lisa, then she and her staff make a larger half-inch model and also create all the technical renderings that the scene shop needs to budget and build the sets accurately. Unfortunately not all theatres I design for have a Lisa Orzolek on staff. In some cases I have to take on a more technical role in addition to the designs.
P: Christina, this production will be set in the Elizabethan era, a time when wealthy families such as the Capulets and Montagues wore beautifully elaborate clothes. What can you tell us about the nuts and bolts of costume design—what must you consider when creating costumes?
CP: I started out doing hands-on work with costumes. My first jobs in theatre were wardrobe work: sewing, building, dressing actors. I did an opera tour as wardrobe assistant, doing everything from loading costumes into the theatre and maintaining them after every performance. Within two years I had my first job at the Stratford Festival as a dyer and that was probably my first real creative experience in which I learned how beautiful clothes can be when you actually have the time and budget to really pay attention to detail in every step of the process. I loved that work and soon afterward I started to design at Stratford.
P: It sounds as though you have a very practical understanding of how clothing needs to work for the actor.
CP: Yes, true. In a period piece such as Romeo & Juliet, which is physically very active, we want clothes that look wonderful, evoke the period, but also are easy to move in and won't damage easily. And more: I want the costumes to have the rich period hand-work and detail that a firstclass shop like DCTC's can create.
P: Can you tell me some secrets of the costume design process?
CP: I like to be well prepared for the first meeting with the director, because often his or her time is limited. At that meeting, I will have read the play several times—
MG: Me too! And I listen to recordings of the play when I can, as I'm working—
CP: Yes! To see how many costume changes there are, to make a prop list, to analyze where the entrances and exits are.
P: So, you really know the text inside out by then.
CP: Next I start to do visual research. I look at photography of the period or paintings or history books, and I look for thematic influences.
P: To both of you, who are your most important collaborators?
CP: I need to be in touch with the set designer as soon as possible so we're not going off in two entirely different directions.
MG: Ditto for me—the director, the costume designer.
CP: It can be very rewarding to work with set designers on a show. If they have different ideas, it really influences my process, so we need to stay in close communication. Whereas a lighting designer might normally come into the process a little later on.
MG: BUT. That lighting designer is crucial to our work as well. He not only lights the action, but the costumes and sets as well—the lighting man is really the fourth piece of the design equation, along with the director, sets and costumes. Not to mention the actors.
CP: It's all about teamwork. We act together to serve the director's vision, and contribute our own individual aesthetic, experience and imagination to make the play wonderful for the audience, the actors, the director—and the theatre itself.
P: Thanks to you both. Lots to look forward to.
Romeo & Juliet is playing Denver's Stage Theatre January 25-February 24, 2013. Tickets: 303.893.4100.

This classic 1968 Yamaha XS650 took over a year to locate and obtain, but just two months to completely transform. Barata Dwiputra, lead builder of Thrive Motorcycles, was inspired by wood-burning stoves for the design of the bike, which included a complete engine overhaul and hand-fabricated bodywork. Sticking to a color palette of black, with brass and copper accents, the redesign includes a pair of leather belts under the battery box that can hold a flannel shirt or jacket in place. Also built in is a custom canvas bag holding the tools to maintain the Yamaha XS650.

I'm Going Straight to Hell
To read this sordid fictional saga from the beginning, please click here.
"I can't put you on this flight." The airline shrew, Satan's stoolie, said it with flippance. Like the snow wasn't blowing a screen of white outside. Like every flight would make it out that day. In fact, she even emphasized her point. "All the flights are going. They are. You'll be fine leaving at 4:30."
"We'll never make 4:30." The wife, she was always a pessimist. Her whole life, she fought the demon of negativity, battled it with an iron will, pretended to be positive, so perky that everyone thought that's exactly what she was.
Until she encountered the worst situations.
Her husband knew the real, the dark, her.
In ten minutes, they were through checking bags. Through immigration. Through customs. Even through the enticements of duty-free. They were standing in front of the gate for the flight they were supposed to be on.
It was still there. Still boarding.
"We should try to get on that flight." She threw it out there, casual-like. Somehow, her negative inner twin knew it would be the last flight that left that cursed day.
And, so it was.
"I can book you on the 11:35am to Boston tomorrow." The same smolder of hell-fire behind those shrew-ish eyes. "You'll be in Milwaukee by tomorrow night."
The exhausted couple booked themselves into an airport motel. Rode the shuttle. Ran with all their luggage through knee-deep snow and howling wind. They drank. Oh, how they drank, until they heard Satan's cackle mixing with the wind outside. "You won't make the 11:35. I'll see to it."
Ladies and gentlemen, Air Canada flight blah-blah-blah to Boston has been cancelled. The devil touched the landing equipment, and the plane is broken, and because the bowels of hell are involved, we can't fix it.
"That's what I get for saying we wouldn't leave yesterday. I'm sorry, Dear. Me and my negative mind. It jinxed us. I'm so stupid. I'm badbadbadbadbad."
"Stop crying, Sweetheart. Really. Stop it. People are looking at us. STOP. NOW."
"Hello, Sir. I can book you and your wife on the 5:55pm to Boston, ending in Chicago the following morning. No flights to Milwaukee, though."
"We'll rent a car and drive."
"Why can't we just freaking rent a car and drive from here? Really" Why can't we?"
"I already told you to stop crying. STOP."
"But, we'll be like that movie. Like John Candy and Steve Martin."
"Don't even bring that movie up. Just stop talking."
"But – "
"We're NOT renting a car, and that's the end of it."
Ladies and gentlemen, the 5:55 Air Canada flight to Boston has been delayed until 8:55pm. Thank you for your patience.
"I TOLD you we should've driven."
"How was I – "
"Don't talk to me anymore."
Welcome to Boston! We are so sorry for the awful time you're having, and we've booked you on a whole new itinerary in the morning, all the way to Milwaukee. Aren't we the greatest? Here's a bunch of vouchers for everything, and thank you for flying Air Canada.
"Sweetheart, please stop crying and just go to bed. You'll feel better in the morning. We have great flights and everything."
"You should try to call and check us in."
"Just do it. You'll see."
Lightning flashed. Thunder rolled. Flames shot from cracks in the earth, and Satanic cackles shot like evil fireworks into the night sky.
"Sir, you and your wife are not booked on any of these flights. Good luck getting to Milwaukee tomorrow."
"But, wait! WAIT!" She waved two crumpled coupons in her husband's face. "We got these in Montreal. American Airlines from Boston to Chicago. PRIORITY. 8:35am. Maybe they're still good. Maybe our luck is turning………."

Flying Dutchmen Down Trine, Earn MIAA title show
The Hope football team is going to play for a Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) championship as well as a berth in the NCAA Division III Playoffs.
The Flying Dutchmen won at Trine 35-7 on Saturday to stay one game behind first-place Albion in the MIAA standings, with Albion coming to Ray & Sue Smith Stadium on Nov. 16.
"We are right where we need to be," Hope coach Dean Kreps said. "This sets up a big showdown with Albion at our place. We are looking forward to the bye week. I want to give our coaches and players some much needed rest.
"I am so excited for what lies ahead. We are coaching exceptional kids. I've said that all along. I love this team. I really do. We are very fortunate."
Hope improved to 6-2 overall and 4-1 in MIAA play. Albion (7-2, 4-0) plays at Adrian next week then faces the Flying Dutchmen.
Against Trine, Hope scored 35 unanswered points after the Thunder took its first drive down for a touchdown.
Senior quarterback Michael Atwell of Geneseo, Ill. (Geneseo HS) threw for 316 yards and three touchdowns while completing 18-of-28 passes.
Senior receiver Vincent Boddy of West Bloomfield (West Bloomfield HS) collected six receptions for a game-high 158 yards and two touchdowns. He hauled in touchdowns catches of 27 yards in the second quarter and 60 yards in the third quarter.
Atwell also connected with junior receiver Taylor Brynaert of Washington (Romeo HS) for a 10-yard touchdown late in the first half.
The Flying Dutchmen also scored on a 21-yard touchdown run by senior Shawn Jackson of Comstock Park (Comstock Park HS) in the first quarter and a 4-yard touchdown run by freshman Zach Boersema of Holland (West Ottawa HS) in the third quarter.
Hope limited Trine to 197 passing yards and 119 rushing yards.
"We had a broken coverage on the first drive. Take that out and I thought our defense was outstanding all day," Kreps said. "The fact that Trine scored on its first possession led me to believe that we could be in for a dog fight. (Kicker) Evan Finch was good from there, but I thought we needed to make a statement on offense, and we did.
"Stephen Gerger, Kirby Crook and Greg Bird all played well today. The front guys were able to keep pressure on and Kirby played his usual great game."
Bird, a senior defensive end from Byron Center (Byron Center HS), and Crook, a junior defensive back from Beech Grove, Ind. (Beech Grove HS), both finished with a team-high eight tackles.
Hope Runner Claims MIAA Most Valuable Honors, Flying Dutch Second
Sheri McCormack was not one of the Hope women's cross country team's best runners when she finished her freshman season.
Three years later, the senior from Holland (West Ottawa HS) is the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) MVP.
McCormack secured the individual accolade on Saturday by finishing second at the MIAA Championships Hope hosted at West Ottawa Golf Club.
Her time of 21 minutes, 47 seconds resulted in the same finish as she had at the MIAA Jamboree on Sept. 28. The conference championship counts two-thirds toward the overall standings.
"It's such a blessing. When I was racing, people were saying I was MVP, but at the moment, I didn't know what it meant," McCormack said. "When I crossed the line it hit me. It was overwhelming. It was a great way to end my senior season."
McCormack is Hope's sixth MIAA Most Valuable runner. She joins a club that includes Tina Pike (2004), Marcia Vandersall Bannink (1992), Katy Conlen (1991) and Tauna Jecmen (1987-88).
McCormack headlines an All-MIAA First Team that includes two teammates — senior Camille Borst of Allendale (Allendale HS) and Casey Campbell of Swartz Creek (Swartz Creek HS).
Hope freshman Erin Hermann of Wheaton, Ill. (Wheaton-Warrenville South) made All-MIAA Second Team.
Hope took second at the nine-team MIAA Championships with a score of 36 points. Calvin (21) won.
Borst placed sixth at the conference meet with a time of 22:39. She crossed four seconds ahead of Campbell, who was seventh.
The Flying Dutch also received points from senior Meredith Busman of Coopersville (Coopersville), who was took 10th at 22:48, and Herrmann, who was 11th at 22:48.
Flying Dutchmen Runner-Up At MIAA Championships
The Hope men's cross country team placed second at the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Championships it hosted on Saturday at West Ottawa Golf Club.
The Flying Dutchmen finished with 59 points to edge third-place Albion by two points. Calvin won the eight-team meet with 28 points.
Junior Ben Zank of Midland (H.H. Dow) topped Hope with a sixth-place, 8K run of 25 minutes, 57 seconds.
Senior Sam Pederson of Mt. Prospect, Ill. (Prospect HS) took eighth for the Flying Dutchmen in 25:58.
Sophomore Joseph Beemer of St. Joseph (St. Joseph HS) recorded an 12th-place time of 26:07 for Hope.
Senior James Rogers of Saginaw (Valley Lutheran HS) finished 19th for the Flying Dutchmen in 26:22.
Junior Zach Zandbergen of Grandville (Grandville HS) rounded out Hope's scoring with a 25th-place effort of 26:31.
Flying Dutch Blank Kalamazoo. Set Up Showdown With Calvin
Two first-half goals propelled the Hope women's soccer team to a 2-0 win at Kalamazoo on Saturday.
The Flying Dutch set up a showdown at Calvin on Monday that will decide the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) regular-season champion.
Hope (15-2-1 overall, 12-3, MIAA) will take a seven-match win streak into Monday's 3 p.m. rematch at Calvin. The Flying Dutch's last loss came in a 2-1 defeat to the Knights on Oct. 5.
Against Kalamazoo, senior forward Raisa Yewah of East Lansing (Okemos HS) struck 3 minutes, 13 seconds into the game to stake the Flying Dutch to a 1-0 lead. Her team-leading 10th goal of the season came on an assist from junior defender Maria DeShaw of Holland (West Ottawa HS).
Sophomore Kristin Hazlett of Bay Village, Ohio, (Bay HS) netted her third goal of the season. Junior midfielder Lindsey Bieri of Holland (Holland Christian HS) had the assist.
Junior goalie Kat Dickson of Grayslake, Ill., (Grayslake Central HS) made three saves for Hope's fifth consecutive shutout and ninth this season.
The Flying Dutch are one win from matching the 2003 school record for single-season wins.
Flying Dutch Junior Honored For Academics
Hope College junior Lindsey Bieri has been selected to the 2013-14 Capital One Academic All-District Women's Soccer Team, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
The midfielder from Holland (Holland Christian HS) is pursuing a double major of management and economics. She carries a 3.95 grade point average.
Bieri ranks fifth at Hope with 10 points this season. She has scored three goals and recorded four assists for the Flying Dutch, who take a 14-2-1 overall record into Saturday's match at Kalamazoo.
First-team Academic All-District honorees advance to the Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected later this month.
The Academic All-District teams include the student-athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is the second year of the expanded Academic All-America program as CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a College Division (all non-Division I) and has doubled the number of scholar-athletes honored.
The expanded teams include NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College Division Academic All-America Team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.
The Capital One Division II and III Academic All-America program is being financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures, to assist CoSIDA with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2013-14 Division II and III Academic All-America teams program.
Flying Dutch Ranked Ninth In D3Hoops.Com Poll
The Hope women's basketball team sits ninth in the D3Hoops.com Preseason Poll announced today.
Coach Brian Morehouse's Flying Dutch received 371 points in the 15th annual NCAA Division III rankings.
Reigning national champion DePauw (Ind.) topped the poll with 617 points and 20 of the 25 possible first-place votes.
DePauw led a group that included in the Top 10 — Washington University in St. Louis in second, Christopher Newport in third, Wisconsin-Whitewater in fourth, St. Thomas in fifth, Montclair State in sixth, Amherst in seventh, Thomas More in eighth and Tufts in 10th. Washington landed three first-place votes, while Christopher Newport garnered two.
Earlier this week, Hope debuted fourth in the USA Today Women's Basketball Coaches Association preseason poll.
The Flying Dutch tip off the season on Nov. 15-16 when they play at a two-day tournament at North Central College near Chicago.
Flying Dutch Win At Kalamazoo
Jason Muller's second multi-goal game in a row lifted the Hope men's soccer team past host Kalamazoo 4-1 on Saturday.
The senior from Petoskey (Petoskey HS) helped the Flying Dutchmen clinch home-field advantage for the semifinals of next week's Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Tournament.
Hope (14-4-1, 10-3 MIAA) is in second place in the league standings. The Flying Dutchmen trail Calvin by one game with one match remaining at Alma on Tuesday.
Muller scored with 27 seconds remaining in the first half to extend Hope's lead to 2-0. It came from 18 yards off an assist from junior forward Brandon Underwood of Grand Rapids (Forest Hills Eastern HS).
The Flying Dutchmen scored twice in a span of 2 minutes, 50 seconds. Freshman forward Josh Hagene of Caledonia (East Kentwood HS) headed in his fifth goal of the season in the 42nd minute.
Muller answered Kalamazoo's goal 1:14 into the second half with an unassisted goal 1:49 later. He now has a team-leading 15 goals this season.
Underwood added his second goal of the second in the 84th minute off an assist from senior midfielder Matthew VanZytveld of Grand Haven (Grand Haven HS).
Sophomore goalie Ethan Beswick of Grand Haven (Grand Haven HS) made five saves for Hope.
The Flying Dutchmen are on a three-match win streak.
