The team at Okena, under the leadership of Shaun McConnon, was an experienced and cohesiveness group who had previously built Raptor Systems to an IPO and a successful acquisition in the firewall market. Starting another early stage security software company, in a crowded and complex market is always a challenge, but particularly in 2001 when the venture industry had largely retreated from early stage financings.
However, the Okena team were familiar with the problems protecting computer networks and desk-tops and from intrusive and malicious software attacks. They had conceived the notion of intrusion prevention, using an approach of intervening with application execution actions to ensure only proper behavior. While antivirus, firewall and intrusion detection products provided some barrier of protection, none were invulnerable or easy to administer and all required attack signature data, so networks and computer users remained vulnerable to previously unknown attacks. Developing a new category in the massive and crowded security software industry was a daunting challenge, but Newbury's due diligence with major CIOs confirmed the potential effectiveness and novelty of their approach. In September 2001 Newbury partner Bruce Bauer co-led a $12.5 million investment and joined the Okena board along with Trevor Kienzle from GE Capital at the time.
The Company initially faced a very difficult sales environment. One week after closing, a retrenchment of the technology market began following the 9/11 tragedy. The Company was also offering technology in a category (Intrusion Prevention) that was not yet widely recognized, and had no established budget. Bruce and Trevor provided assistance in directing the Company's product positioning, helping the team stay focused on revenue business models for the enterprise rather than offering a free "lite" version over the Internet, and assisting with large early customer accounts. Newbury co-led a follow-on insider financing of $4 million in September 2002 as the Company made significant progress and the outside funding environment remained difficult.
Newbury supported management in building a meaningful and productive business development effort, which not only generated significant early revenues from key customers, but also led to strategic OEM discussions and ultimately an acquisition of the Company by Cisco Systems. Bruce worked closely with Shaun McConnon to negotiate terms agreeable among management, investors, and Cisco; and Trevor was involved with final deal execution negotiations with Cisco and management. In summary, the Company grew from zero sales to a run rate of approximately $16 million and was acquired a year and a half after the initial investment, for $154 million, providing a 6x return to Newbury.

Being a local girl, Candice Burke has grown up with an admiration of UNI volleyball. And she's happy to tell you about all her favorite players.
"I remember when Kim Davis was Kim McCaffrey, and when Molly O' Brien played; I don't think she even knows who I am, but I was in love with them... I remember when Jay Grassley had hair...Kim Kester, duh, I could not forget about her, she's amazing too... They just had so much energy and they showed passion with everything that they did, and it made you want to be them, or play for UNI."
And UNI volleyball coach Bobbi Petersen even remembers her first encounter with Candice.
"I still remember when she came here for a visit, and she was just kind of in awe that she was even here watching a practice."
This fanhood led Burke, a native of Waterloo, to set a goal for herself to one day play on the same court as some of her heroes.
"When I would go watch them play, I kept saying, 'I'm going to be them, I'm going to play for UNI", Burke says.
Coach Petersen adds, "You know, that's really neat, and that's why I love anytime we can get a local kid. Candice is a kid that the people around here have watched grow up too, so it's kind of neat that you can get behind somebody right here in the Cedar Valley."
Of course, when you play for a program like UNI, there's always an expectation of success to live up to.
"Every time that you go on the court, you know that you're playing for UNI, and it is a really successful program; a program that I've always wanted to be a part of, so I thin it gets me more excited than anything", Burke says.
But Candice has handled any pressure with the same amount of grace as the players that have preceded her.

WASHINGTON – More than 2.1 million drop-side cribs by Stork Craft Manufacturing are being recalled, the biggest crib recall in U.S history, following reports of four infant suffocations.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission said late Monday the recall involves 1.2 million cribs in the United States and almost 1 million in Canada, where Stork Craft is based. Sales of the cribs being recalled go back to 1993.
Nearly 150,000 of the cribs carry the Fisher-Price logo.
The CPSC said it is aware of four infants who suffocated in the drop-side cribs, which have a side that moves up and down to allow parents to lift children from the cribs more easily. The agency also said there have been 110 incidents of drop-sides detaching from the cribs.
The Stork Craft cribs have had problems with their hardware, which can break, deform or become missing after years. CPSC said there can also be problems with assembly mistakes by the crib owner. These problems can cause the drop-side to detach, creating a dangerous space between the drop-side and the crib mattress, where a child can become trapped.
The commission is urging parents to stop using the cribs until receiving a free repair kit from Stork Craft. The kit will convert the drop-side into a fixed side.
The cribs, which were manufactured and distributed between January 1993 and October 2009, were sold at major retailers including BJ's Wholesale Club, Sears and Wal-Mart stores and online through Target and Costco. They sold for between $100 and $400, and were made in Canada, China and Indonesia.
Calls to Stork Craft were not immediately returned.
This is the second big recall this year for the company. It recalled about 500,000 cribs in January because of problems with the metal brackets that support the mattress. Some of the same models in the earlier recall were also part of Monday's announcement, CPSC said.
Consumer advocates have complained for years about drop-side cribs. More than 5 million of them have been recalled over the past two years alone — recalls that were associated with the deaths of a dozen young children.
ASTM International, an organization that sets voluntary industry safety standards for everything from toys to the steel used in commercial buildings, approved a new standard last week that requires four immovable, or fixed, sides for full-size cribs — essentially eliminating the manufacture of drop-side cribs.
CPSC is also considering new rules for making cribs safer and could adopt the ASTM voluntary standard as a mandatory one, outright banning the cribs.
Nancy Cowles, executive director of Chicago-based Kids In Danger, said the agency must include more rigorous testing for crib durability. "Parents should be able to trust that their child is safe in their crib," said Cowles.
Toys"R"Us started phasing out drop-side cribs earlier this year and will no longer carry them next month.
In the Stork Craft recall, the manufacture date, model number, crib name, country of origin, and the firm's name, address and contact information are located on the assembly instruction sheet attached to the mattress support board. The firm's insignia "storkcraft baby" or "storkling" is inscribed on the drop-side teething rail of some cribs.
Consumers can contact the company, 877-274-0277, to order the free repair kit, or log on to http://www.storkcraft.com.

Without a drop side, I don't think I would have been able to reach my child to lay them down or pick them up once the mattress was lowered down. I am 5′2″ but I would have ended up having to drop my sleeping child about a foot down to the mattress. Standing on a stepstool to lean over the edge and pick up a baby is not the safest thing either. But that is what I would have had to do if we didn't have a drop side.
It appears that the main problems was consumer assembly mistakes and cheap hardware. It seems like there would be a way to fix those problems without eliminating drop sides all together.
While I feel horrible for those 4 sets of parents, that seems like a pretty small percentage compared to the millions of babies who have slept in those cribs. And the 110 other incidents still seems like a fairly small percentage when you take into account how many times a day the crib side goes up and down.
It makes me wish we hadn't given our crib away so that we would have it available when we have grandchildren years from now.

Cheap cribs, bought from cheap stores, made from countries that pay workers a dollar an hour.
Imagine – they don't work!
You get what you pay for.
November 24th, 2009
7:20 am
@ penguinmom: Would you feel differently about that percentage if your child had been one of them?
And the 110 incidents – that's just the people that reported that the side fell down. I'm sure most people don't report it if the child doesn't fall out.
November 24th, 2009

While I am of normal height, I can see how someone who is much shorter could have an issue of using a crib without drop sides. Our crib had one, but I never used it. Guess I just never saw the need to use it to be honest. I feel for the families and I worry about all the babies sleeping in these cribs, but if your not sure how to put something together ask a friend or hire a handyman to do it. It might cost more down the road, but when it comes to safety you shouldn't be looking at things in dollars and cents.

Our son's crib does not have a drop side. I'm 5′4″ and there were times right after we lowered the mattress to its lowest level, when I did feel like I really had to reach. But honestly, it was fine. Some of the baby item guides I read highly recommended getting a drop-side crib, but the particular style we liked had a stationary side; that was really what it came down to. I don't feel inconvenienced at all by the fact that I sometimes had to stand on my toes and reach down to the mattress.
Until recently, my in-laws were borrowing an old drop-side crib from my husband's grandmother. The crib is probably 50 years old. They didn't want to buy one for their house, so they used it instead, for the times he stayed with them. The thing looked like a death trap: thin rails that are too far apart, etc. It made me nervous every time he laid in it. We convinced them he'd outgrown that crib (he's 18 mo), so it has gone back to great-grandma's house now. I pray they don't resurrect it when we have another little one. The thing freaks me out but I don't want to hurt my in-laws' feelings.
With all do respect to penguinmom, I'm glad you got rid of your crib. I am a firm believer that some things shouldn't be handed down – at least not through generations. We may be more sensitive to safety precautions now, but some of these safety measures have resulted in lower infant death rates and longer life expectancy.

We had the Jenny Lind in white. A gift from a friend when she no longer needed it and we did. As I recall it did have a drop down side. I don't recall every using it once the baby could roll over. Prior to that, I left it down (no bassinet) so it was easy to get the baby in and out. Course I am 5′6″ so I never saw the distance as an issue. By the time we dropped the mattress down the baby was sitting up and so she would reach for me when I came to get her. By 12-16 months she was climbing out of the crib so we just took it down.
I am surprised we are having this discussion again today since we had the recall discussion yesterday. More folks will be travelling today…couldn't we have done Thanksgiving memories like the one you shared last year?
November 24th, 2009
10:10 am
FCM – the actual facts and names of the recalled cribs came out today – they weren't known yesterday. So I think it's important that this is followed up today. I think trying to save even one infant's life is more important that talking about memories.
Maybe the memory talk can be for tomorrow.
November 24th, 2009
10:33 am
David children's lives are important. For any family to suffer a loss of a child is horrible. The AJC has already published the recall on it's front page, the news outlets are espousing it — as they should. However, I do not think debating the merits of the recall or what is recalled will save lives.
November 24th, 2009
12:00 pm
no actually I don't think I would feel any differently about the percentages. I had a close friend whose 2-yr-old drowned in a neighbor's pool. It was a horrible accident but I didn't think that anything different legally should be done.
I believe that we have lost some sense of personal responsibility. It's always the manufacturer's fault or the government's fault. Sometimes, it's your own fault. And for the rest of the country to have to make adjustments for the few who can't or don't follow the rules or obvious safety precautions seems absurd. Manufacturer's should be held responsible for obvious defects but not for consumer incompetence.
If I assembled something incorrectly and something horrible happened to my child, I would obviously start off angry and looking for a way to not blame myself but in the end, it's my responsibility and I would take it.
November 24th, 2009
4:49 pm
Ok the account in me had to do the math: the odds of your child getting killed (based on 4 deaths and the number of cribs in the recall) is 0.000003333.
The chance of your child getting hurt (based on 110 reports and number of cribs recalled) is 0.000091667.
When you consider these cribs were manufactured over 16 years the over all chances should go down more.
This recall business and blaming manufactureres is getting wildly out of hand. My heart goes out to the families who lost children or who's children were seriously injured. However there used to be something called contributory negligence and that seems to be more likely as to what caused the issue than manufacturing defects.
November 25th, 2009
8:23 am
FCM is just a cold hearted *****.
November 25th, 2009
11:02 am
Could be I am cold hearted. OR It could be that I was providing some statistics. Statistically speaking the crib is safe. It could also be that I have some insight that legal cases, as to whom is responsible, are based on things like facts and statistics not on emotion. Either way I can live with it.
The funny part was I told a co-worker about the stats and she said "so then why are we recalling it." Then when told that I said perhaps families had some contibutory negligence she said that might be cold. Perhaps that is why so many people want in front of a jury where emotions CAN play a part in the judicial process.

6 Slick, Striking Videos For GSP's Return to UFC
Georges St-Pierre was a staple at the top of the welterweight division before being struck by a devastating knee injury. With over a year of recovery and a renewed motivation to stake his claim in the division, GSP is set to return to the Octagon on Nov. 17th at UFC 154.
The French-Canadian fighter was ranked as the No. 3 pound for pound fighter by ESPN and No. 2 by Sherdog. Before he gained fame in the UFC, GSP worked as a bouncer at a Montreal night club and as a garbageman for six months to pay for his tuition.
Here are six other fun facts about the UFC Welterweight Champion:
1. His First Sexual Experience
Even GSP's got a sense of humor when it comes to bedding his first broad. We would've totally believed five orgasms. We wonder if he tried the rear-naked chokehold.
2. His Self-Defense Classes for Mascots
Mascots fight all the time, how have we not formally organized this into an actual sports league? Here's GSP's sense of humor again. If Shaq can have his own comedy site, GSP can get in on the action.
3. He's a Cover Model
This is why some guys don't go to rehab. Sure, there are hundreds of beautiful girls in bikinis but there's also UFC champions who can make you tap out in three seconds even when blacked out from yardsticks of Monster Energy Drink and vodka.
4. He's an Actor
Death Warrior came out in 2009. It was about a bunch of MMA fighters that are lured into a tournament in which they have to fight to the death. Sort of like Death Race meets The Condemned. In addition to GSP, the film also starred Rampage Jackson, Rashad Evans, and Roseanne Barr. JK on that last one.
GSP has also appeared in Hell's Chain and Never Surrender, which could be about a really bad bowel movement and BDSM gone wrong.
5. He's in Video Games
He worked closely with the development team on honing combat skills. You'd be amazed what you can do with a post-it note and a paper clip. Total domination.
6. He's in Music Videos
L'Assemblee ("The Assembly") is a French Canadian rap / hip hop group. I have no idea what they're sayiing but if it gets GSP in the mood, it's good enough for us.

Small Cool 2010: Megan's Modern Eclectic
Little Division # 12
Who Lives Here: Megan
Location: Los Angeles, California
Size: 625 square feet
What is your favorite element of your Small & Cool home? The gorgeous light that floods in through my gigantic windows, which is the primary reason I chose to live here. It bathes my home - and the modern eclectic furniture and special mementos within it- in the most beautiful mood, which changes throughout the day. It may seem strange, but my favorite part about my place is a space where nothing but glass exists.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What was one of the biggest challenges you faced in furnishing your Small Cool home? My apartment has little built-in storage. I mean, only one closet for a shoe-aholic?! I had to create storage in visible spaces and hide it from the untrained eye. I added an armoire for dresses (and simultaneously delineated the space between my sleep and work areas), used a huge bookshelf for my massive book and random trinket collections (which separates my office from my living area), and then I hid things like art supplies and camping gear in large (bright green!) cardboard boxes above my kitchen. Storage is definitely a challenge but it is fun to find creative solutions!

Nice use of space. I like the office nook.
Why do I keep seeing art hung closer to the ceiling than at eye level are these super tall people that live in these spaces?
ladymantle- so right.
The first picture is noticeably pink on my screen, although the others are not. Anyone else have that problem or do I need to get a new monitor?
rapunzel --
I'm seeing pink too - I suspect it may be the lighting in that room when the photo was taken?
It's a great space, but the spaceplanning is quite odd:
I don't understand why the room is divided up like that and the sitting area is crammed into the entry - Seems that an office area could be far smaller and would make more sense by the front door as a "landing strip" area, so that the living area could be oriented towards the windows to take advantage of the light and views...
...and the eating area is so far away from the kitchen - seems that if it were placed in the area in front of the kitchen, the table could double as an additional worksurface/island.
bepsf- you have the eye my friend, I did not see that the dining situation was in the office nook, i just though nice espresso break area. I did not look at the floor plan.
I like your idea. I guess its a matter of where Megan spends most of her time.
Love the floors. The green storage bins over the kitchen cabinets, I dig them, but I would dig them even more if you got a couple extra and closed the gaps between.
I love the kitchen, and I think it's the perfect size for 625 square feet.
My place is the same square footage and I'd kill for a double sink and a dishwasher.
Perhaps the above commenters are take-out junkies?
And yes, the first photo is strangely pink on my screen too.
Love the door to your bathroom.
Where is that sectional from? Thanks
It's a galley kitchen--whoever built the place wasn't planning on renting only to 1 person. Megan's not in charge of how the place was built.
Love the 2 toned kitchen and agree with jacksonlalonde.
I live in a smaller apt and have the same size kitchen in a similar layout. I love my kitchen - it's definately not too big (and, no, I don't feed a kibbutz). If Megan, like myself, spends most of her day in her home office, I understand the placement of the office. It is a shame that there is not more windows! I also like the pink tint of the first photo - are the walls and couch pink? The Mexican skulls are cool. Overall, I really can relate to this apartment and do like it very much.
I second-- please source the sectional. Is it leather?
Likes! Love the visual step from green, white to dark brown in the kitchen.
The leather sofa if from Ikea. I have the same one, and yes it is leather.
bepsf -- I think it might depend on how much time she spends sitting at the desk. I work at home and my office is in the smallest room with the least light. My living room is bright and pretty. I keep trying to figure out how to fit my desk space into the living room so I can enjoy the big window and the balcony I spent so much time filling with plants.
If she only spends a few hours a week after work using the Internet and keeping up with bills, etc., then, of course, you're right. It might be about the view, though.
I like that each room in this apartment seems to have its own subtle, distinct mood. You don't often see that in these entries.
Nice green storage bins on top of the kitchen cabinets. They're a bold choice and I like how they draw my eye upwards.
love the kitchen! that's how mine was supposed to come out...
I find the furniture placement a bit odd too. I understand having the desk by the window, but that huge dark bookshelf blocks so much light from fully half of the room, and the floorspace in front of the kitchen seems very underused. You could definitely fit a larger table there if you rearranged things only a little.
I do love the bedroom though, it's so warm and relaxing looking.
I totally agree with bepsf about moving that eating area to the kitchen and using it as extra prep space. It would make so much more sense and allow her to open up the living area by moving the expedit back and putting the desk on the window side of the space. But then again, maybe Megan just likes to look out the window while she drinks her coffee.
I also third the idea of getting another of those green storage boxes so they're not oddly spaced out over the cabinets. Assuming she could find another.
Overall I think she did a nice job with the space. And I adore that tiger oak piece in the bedroom - can't tell if it's a dresser or perhaps originally a side board. Great find.
Hello everybody,
I thank you all very much for your comments and suggestions.
I just may get more of those green boxes!
The dresser in the bedroom belonged to my great-grandmother and was constructed in the 19th century. The other dresser and side tables are original midcentury and belonged to my grandparents.
The couch is leather and is from Ikea.
In regards to the placement of my office:
Of course it makes more sense to put the living room next to the huge windows, if I cared more about entertaining others. I live alone in this little place and so it is all about ME!
The point is that, as some readers so thoughtfully pointed out, I spend the majority of my time while at home in my office. I am a professor of art history and spend hours and hours reading and writing, with a magnificent view of downtown LA next to me. I have thought about switching them before. But I just could not stand the thought of losing my view while working.
The little black table is next to my office because I want to be near the windows when I drink tea or chow down. Also, it is close to my office space (note: most used space in the place), which is perfect for me.
Thanks again!
I think with the blueprint she made she needs to re-think her space. She can set the apratment up so much nicer then the way she has it now. I mean the couch faces a wall....Why not the opposite to the window?
This is so infinitely strange! It's like, "get outta my undies drawer!"
Naw, it is great. I kid. And I love debate!
More info and photos at tinyassapartment.blogspot.com
I think it's superb! If only my apartment were set up so that I had a badass view while I spend entire days in front of a desk!
I like the skeletons and skulls in the bedroom, and the saddle-stool. XD The layout makes sense for her lifestyle, and it's nice she has such a huge window. I do wonder if she needs the expedit as a divider, though; the back of the couch alone might work? Then the expedit could go, hm, on the right wall to block off the kitchen? Not such what the things already there are supposed to be (or if there's actually space for it....) Then the living room area could also get light.
Ooo, that's an idea! Thanks lepidoptery.
Though, I do like having my books within arms reach while at my desk. I could try that, even if it means I would lose some seating space (there's an armchair there) in the living room. Nice idea!
I picked up the saddle stool in Costa Rica and the calaveras are, naturally, from Mexico.
Hey!!! I've partied here; And I'm so hipster I don't even have a cellphone.
A rare cabeza rosada!
Great place. Can you tell me about the bedding? I love the detail on the corners of the duvet cover and the intricate pillow. Thanks!
Having spent many hours in this particular apartment, I can say with confidence that it is absolutely perfect as it is. Go MEGAN!
The duvet cover is Nicole Miller and the pillows are from all over the place. Which pillow do you mean exactly? The beige one with black flowers? That's Ikea. The others I bought on random websites so long ago that I can't even remember.
Megan Lorraine, thanks for responding to comments. Are those a pair of ballet barres I see? If so, I'm envious! I've tried to do this in four different apartments, but never had the right vertical support/hard floor/mirror opposite combination necessary to make it work.
Where did you get them?
I was lucky. They were here when I moved in!
I love them...so sexy!
I was actually wondering about those barres, too, but then I forgot them in my comment. XD I think you can acquire free-standing ones with relative ease, thoughI've actually been looking into getting some of the roll-out vinyl dance flooring for my living room (which won't necessarily look awesome but it's not like my current floors are amazing and that way I'd get more utility out of them,) and this company also sells the barres and glassless mirrors. Although it looks like it's vastly more economical to put holes in your walls....
(Actually, you might be able to get this stuff for much cheaper elsewhere? This was just the one place I encountered on my searches that had this stuff alongside the flooring and had actual prices up.....)
I have never been to Costa Rica or Mexico. :( Tragedy!

2013-2014 Season Preview: No. 24 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
Oct 1, 2013, 10:00 AM EDT
All month long, CBT will be rolling out our 2013-2014 season preview. Check back throughout the day, as we'll be posting three or four preview items every day.
To browse through the preview posts we've already published, click here. The rest of our Top 25 Countdown can be found here. For a schedule of our previews for the month, click here.
Last Season: 25-10, 11-7 (Big East); Lost in the Round of 64 to Iowa State
Head Coach: Mike Brey (14th season at Notre Dame: 285-142, 136-79 Big East)
Key Losses: Jack Cooley, Scott Martin
Newcomers: Demetrius Jackson, Steve Vasturia, V.J. Beachem, Austin Torres, Eric Katenda
Projected Lineup
- G: Eric Atkins, Sr.
– G: Jerian Grant, Jr.
– G: Patrick Connaughton, Jr.
– F: Tom Knight, Sr.
– C: Garrick Sherman, Sr.
– Bench: Cameron Biedscheid, So.; Zach Auguste, So.; Demetrius Jackson, Fr.; Steve Vasturia, Fr.; VJ Beachem, Fr.
They'll be good because …: Notre Dame has one of the most talented perimeter attacks in the country. They're led by a pair of veterans in senior Eric Atkins and redshirt junior Jerian Grant, two skilled, athletic playmakers that combined to average 24.5 points and 11.0 assists while shooting 37.2% from three. Throw in top 25 recruit Demetrius Jackson, another talented lead guard, and Mike Brey's club will play quite a bit of small ball.
It's not only the ball handlers, either. Pat Connaughton, who also plays on Notre Dame's baseball team, is a big, physical guard that is a lights-out three-point shooter and can mix it up in the paint when he has to. Throw in big wings Cameron Biedschied, a sophomore, and Steve Vasturia, a freshman, and the Irish should be able to use a lot of four-guard sets. Remember how tough it was to slow down that 2012 Missouri team? Notre Dame could end up looking something like that on the offensive end of the floor.
But they might disappoint because …: Isn't that what Notre Dame does every postseason? Mike Brey was one of the most consistent and most successful coaches in the Big East during his 13 year run in the league, but he hasn't been out of the first weekend of the NCAA tournament since 2003, when the likes of Chris Thomas, Matt Carroll and Torin Francis were still in South Bend. Brey has gotten his team to the tournament six of the last seven seasons with four Round of 64 knockouts and two losses in the Round of 32.
The biggest concern with this group is their front court. Jack Cooley, who was a double-double machine the last two seasons, graduated. That leaves a pair of veterans in Garrick Sherman and Tom Knight as well as sophomore Zach Auguste. Sherman and Knight are solid role players that will throw around their size, but neither will strike fear in the heart of opposing coaches. Auguste is the most talented of the group, but he's not quite ready to be a featured big man. The good news? With Notre Dame's perimeter strength, Brey's trio of bigs won't be asked to do much more than defend, run the floor and crash the glass.
Outlook: This group is perfectly set up to make quite a bit of noise in their first season in the ACC, and I think this is the the that ends Notre Dame's streak of early round tournament exits. Brey isn't exactly running the Burn Offense anymore, but he's still playing a slower brand of basketball. Last season, the Irish used a lot of the shot clock, putting the ball in the hands of their talented playmakers and allowing them to attack the basket, often off of a high-ball screen. (I wouldn't be surprised to see Notre Dame play a quicker tempo this season, however.) With three skilled lead guards and a number of shooters to keep the floor spread, this roster is built for success playing that style.
Yes, the same could have been said about the Irish last season, but there is one key difference: Demetrius Jackson. Grant (36.3 mpg) and Atkins (38.3 mpg) rarely came off the floor last season. With Jackson in the mix this year, those two should be able to get more rest without the Irish offense taking a significant hit. Like any team, there are a number of unknowns with this group, but if Auguste and Biedscheid improve as sophomores (Biedscheid was 7-44 from three in February and March and missed 25 of his last 28 from downtown) and Jackson and Vasturia can have an impact immediately, this could be a top four team in the league.

Something stupid EnglandxReaderSo, time passed, and _____ and Arthur became closer as friends. As a result, their feelings for each other grew as well. Still, they refused to act on them. Rather than confess their feelings to each other and risk their friendship, they entered relationships with others. None of which lasted very long because it became obvious early on that they were enamored with one another.It wasn't obvious to them, however. They didn't think their feelings were mutual. Then one day they were stargazing, and it happened... "You shouldn't worry about him. He's a loser anyway." He assured her."I know. I guess I just thought... he was the one."That was a lie, of course. She cared about and loved the boy. But she didn't think he was the one. Deep down, she knew it. "Well he wasn't, and I think you're better off.""You're right.""Listen, _______? Have you ever considered... That maybe...""Yeah?""Nothing.""Tell me!""No, it's stupid.""Arthur...""What?""Please?"Arthur growled. "Fine.

I whined, annoyed someone had pulled out my earphones."W-what are you listening to?!" demanded a familiar British voice. I smirked."Why, I'm listening to you, Artie." I responded coyly. His face turned bright red. He's so easy to rile up! I thought."W-well knock it off!" he told me, clearly getting more flustered."Awww, but why?" I pouted."Because it's embarrassing! You of all people should know what it's like to have embarrassing stuff of you on YouTube."Heheh... Why haven't I taken that stuff down? I shook my head. "T-that's different! You're actually really good!"Cue England's face reaching tomato red coloring."Y-you really think so?""Yeah man! You could be on like, X-factor or Britain's g
Lame Jokes- AmericaxReader WARNING: GROAN WORTHY MOMENTS AHEAD. My friend Alfred and I were extremely bored. And when I say bored, I mean bored. The kind of boredom that makes paint seem interesting. The kind of boredom that, if experienced too much, can lead to depression (which is TOTALLY a real thing, by the way. Wikipedia that shit if you don't believe me.)"Gah, I'm so borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred!" whined Alfred.See?"I know, me too," I agreed miserably. Alfred only let out another frustrated groan in response."Ugh, this sucks!" he pouted, laying down on the couch."I'm sorry, Alfred. But what can we do?" I shrugged, trying not to sound as bad as I felt. I was being a terrible hostess!Hmm.. Hostess. Now I'm sad because that company is gone Where's that guy from Zombieland when you need him?!Alfred also seemed deep in thought and upset, perhaps considering giving into the boredom. But suddenly, a s
Strip Club Prank Call- AmericaxReaderToday was an extremely crappy day for you. You bombed an extremely important test in one of your classes, the lunch was pure shit
just about anything that could go wrong did. You were so grateful to get out of class that day.But at least you'd get to hang out with Alfred now! He was your best friend, and as such always knew what to do to cheer you up. Though you kind of felt like he wouldn't be able to help you out this time, since this was a really bad funk, you figured it'd at least be fun!Oh boy, how wrong you were. About him not being able to cheer you up that is. Alfred could sense your despair as soon as he saw you. For a guy who was often accused of not being able to "sense the mood", he sure could read you pretty well."Awwww, what's wrong, __________?" He asked, concerned."Nothing, Alfred." You lied, knowing it was pointless. He'd annoy the hell out of you until he got you to fess up. He was oddly sweet like that. Maybe that's why you were secretly in love with him?Ooops,
Snow Storms EnglandxReaderYou were an idiot.Those reports on the news warning of a blizzard? You ignored them. The lack of snow the past few years had caused you to lose your faith in winter and storms.So like a fool, you went over to your dear friend Arthur's house today.You stayed for a good few hours, but uh... you started to get hungry. And you'd heard the rumors about his cooking. Added to the fact that it was getting late and it was rather improper for you to stay so late a guy friend's house.... Well it just seemed like a good time to leaveBut when you happened to open the door, you discovered the news report was right! The entire ground was covered in snow that came up to your knees. That you even got the door open was a miracle.Arthur, who was seeing you to the door like a good host, gaped at the scene."You know, _______, you can always stay the night here..." He offered.Your stomach told you it wasn't having that shit. It let out a loud growl, much to your embarrassment."N-no, that's okay!" yo
Not that hated- AmericaxReaderThis was starting to get weird.For ten consecutive times in a row, Alfred F. Jones, the personification of America himself, missed out on a social gathering.Well okay, admittedly, social gathering probably sounds a bit too formal. The other countries weren't having meetings (which he was also frequenting less often); they were just having fun. Going swimming, getting drunk, partying...I thought he'd at least come to the parties. If anyone likes parties, I assured myself, it's America But I was wrong.Two things kept me from exploring this any further until now, however.1. Guilt, as I'd only noticed his absence about the 5th time around.2. I still saw him at the meetings, even if it wasn't as often, which let me know that he was at least okay.But even during the meetings, it was like he was a different person. He didn't take charge of the meetings like he used to, spewing his hilariously ridiculous ideas about whatever. Something was wrong, very wrong.
You're no gentleman- Englandxreader commision"You idiot! Why can't you be more gentlemanly?!" England yelled at America.______ rolled her eyes. Here we go again, she lamented. Why did England have to be so anal? Sure, America was ... immature at times, but that's what made him! Geez, you'd think he'd realize that already; he raised him, after all.Besides, ______ had never seen this gentleman side England was so proud of. The whole time she'd known him, he'd never done a single gentlemanly thing. And that pissed her off more."Dude, chill." America chuckled, anime sweat on his head."I will not 'chill'!" England fumed. "I raised you better than that! You need to grow up or the other countries will never warm up to you!""I raised you better than that." _______ mimicked under her breath. England's ears perked up."DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, MADAM?!" He exploded.Ooh, this will be fun."Yeah, I do." she simply stated, rather humorously compared to England's outburst."Go on, then!""Honestly, I think you're a hypocrite
Thank you, Netflix! EnglandxReaderTwo.Thirty.Five.a.m.That is the ungodly time England was woken up by a phone call. From the ringtone, "What makes you beautiful" (dawws), he knew it had to be ________."It's 2 in the sodding morning, _________. What the bloody hell do you want?!""Arthur, you need to get over here. Now."The serious in her voice as well as what she said kind of
turned him on a little. And it showed in his response."W-what? Why?" He asked, a million dirty thoughts going through his head."Because
they have 'Once Upon a Time' on Netflix!"England hung up the phone and practically flew to ________'s house. Sure getting laid would've been better, but Once Upon a Time? That was still pretty fucking great. And watching it with her would make it 100x better."Wow, that was fast." ________ teased."Of course!""Well, I got the popcorn and the Tv's already on the show. Shall we?"He smirked, locking arms with her and walking to the couch. While he did this in a playful manne
Connection- CanadaxReaderMatthew and I have one of those connections.I'm not sure why; I guess it's because we're both so shy and so we don't say much.It's alright though; between the two of us, we don't need to say much. We just kind of look at each other and know what the other is thinking.So we have a lot of conversations that I guess someone on the outside would call telepathic. It's not accurate, but it's the best way I could describe it.For example:One day, Matthew came over to my house and saw me surfing the web."Hey, _______. What are you looking up?" he asked. No telepathy yet, but give it a sec."The northern lights." I told him simply.Still not there."Oh." he replied."Yeah. You know, one time I actually saw them from my own house. I could only see green, but it was such a beautiful, rare experience that I never forgot it."Almost there people. Be patient.He smiled. "That sounds really nice." he told me. So what you're saying is you'd like to see it again. I smiled back. "Yeah."
America x Reader: Late Night MissionAmerica x Reader: Late Night MissionTap.Tap.TapThat's the only sound coming from the living room where you and Alfred were currently playing Guitar Hero 3. At 2:30 in the morning."Dude this sucks!" Alfred suddenly exclaimed as you both finished another level in the game. "How can we play Guitar Hero 3 when the volume is off!? It doesn't make sense!"You looked over at him with a glare and shushed him. "It was your idea to play at this time!""I know that, but I did it so we could yell and wake up Arthur!" Alfred retorted.You rolled your eyes, but let out a chuckle. 'Alfred, always there to bug Arthur.' You thought.It would've been louder if the fake drums were brought out, but Matthew decided to be sneaky and hide them before you and Alfred had a chance to start the game. This led to you two just using the guitar and bass."If this is such a bad idea, why'd you agree to play with me?" Alfred asked you quietly.You looked over at him. The T.V screen in front o
Nice Guys America x Reader~'Nice guys finish lastthat's, why I'll treat you like trashIt's not what I really want to do butYou only date bad guys so, I'll give it my best tryto treat you the way you want me to'~You were so excited for your with your long time crush, Alfred. He was always so sweet and happy all the time. You loved it! It would be good for you to get back into the dating game. It was a month after breaking up with that egotistic Prussian! He was considered a 'player' or a 'bad boy'.You wore your (f/c) top with your (f/c) skirt and black heels. You curled your (h/l) (h/c) and put in your lucky hair clip.Once you were ready to go, it was about time for Alfred to pick you up. He arrived about 30 minutes later and irritatingly knocked on your apartment door. You answered it with a smile but it faded in shock when you saw what he was wearing. His dress shirt was half open with a shiny gold chain attached. His ripped blue jeans falling off his waist and his nike sneakers covered in dirt."Hey __
No longer morning (AmericaXReader)You sighed, playing with your fingers as you waited for the lunch break to end. Not that you didn't like your break time, it was just that it was so boring without Alfred around. He hadn't turned up in the morning, so you guessed he was probably sick or something.Then again those videogames of his were also a possibility... As you listened to the music coming from your headphones, you closed your eyes. Hoping to get a bit of rest at least, you hummed along with the song gently, your breathing evening out.When something heavy leaned on your side, you opened one eye irritatedly to see the cause. "Oh hey Alfred." You mumbled when you saw the American sitting next to you. "Good morning...."Laughing quietly, you prodded him in his stomach, making him contract it quickly. "It's not morning anymore." You told him and his eyes widened in realisation."That would explain why everyone's so energetic...." He clutched his h
AmericaxReader - Just To Say...You growl as your phone starts ringing, knowing exactly who it was from the personal ringtone about fast-food restaurants. Why you ever let Alfred get a hold of your phone, youll never know, but you did know he was going to get yelled at for waking you up at
2 a.m.?!
then again, you didnt know what he wanted. What if it was an emergency?Alfred? you say, calmly.Hey, ________! he replies, loudly.No, hes fine. Time to complain.What the hell, man!? Its 2 a.m.!I know, dude. But
Well, I was just calling to say I love you!Your eyes widen as you sit up in bed. Did you really just hear him right? Alfred loves you?W-what?You had wanted to tell him that for a while, too, but didnt have the nerve to. Is this for real?Well, you showed me that thing on your laptop that said something like every girls dream is to be woken up to be told theyre loved
Video Games AmericaXReaderHe'd found it! His baby blue eyes were sparkling as he looked over the video game gleefully. He'd finally found it! It'd taken him weeks of searching this his large as his appatite house, but somehow Alfred F. Jones found Super Mario Bros buried in his top secret hamburger stash.Well, he knew exactly what to do now: go over to the house of his video game bro, ____, pop that fucker in, and play until he could no longer use empty Mountain Dew bottles to release his piss(something Alfred had to do more than once on his gamer days) Lazy fatass though he might be, when he had motivation(or a coupon for a free Big Mac) Alfred could run pretty damn fast, so it was no surprise that he was at your house in no time. Being Alfred, he didn't bother knocking and invited himself inside. "Hey bro, I finally found it! Let's go play!" He recieved no response, seeing as no one was on the first floor. He assumed you were in your room and ran upstairs. What he didn't assume was that you
AmericaxReader Birthday Girl Lemon cakeAmericaxReaderBirthday GirlLemon cake-----------------------------------------------Today was your birthday, it was supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life, kinda. But today, you were feeling more worried than, happy.Your boyfriend was acting strange. You glanced at Alfred out of the corner of your eye and frowned. He was fidgeting again, his clear blue eyes darting around."What's wrong Alfie?" Normal he laughed when he heard the nickname you had given him, not today. Instead, he jumped like someone had given him an electric shock."Um....stomach ache or something." He looked away from you, shoving his hands in his pockets and slouching further into the couch cushions."D'awwww. What did you eat today?" Resting your head on his shoulder, you patted his abdomen lightly. He flinched slightly, then gave you a shaky smile."Food." Your frown deepened. Normally he gave you a complete list of everything, it was a wonder he could remember everything.Your eyes narrowed. Alf
AlfredxReader- Dear DiaryYou are about to finish the last few details on your drawing when the doorbell rang. You leap up from your seat and dash down the stairs."I GOT IT!" You yell at the top of your lungs. Not that anyone else was even trying to get the door. That was your job. You open the door to find a handsome young man with short blonde hair, a cute little cowlick and sparkling blue eyes awaiting you."Hey, Dude!" He greets you, holding up some video games, "I found these on sale at Game Stop. Want to try 'em out with me?" He asks, already knowing the answer."Hell yes!" You squeal, "But hang on just a minute, I have some chores that I was supposed to do. Make yourself feel at home though, Alfy." You walk inside, leaving him to close the door. "Snacks are in the kitchen and the TV in the den has the xbox set up. But whatever you do, stay out of my room." You instruct him over your shoulder.He couldn't go in your room. You had left the drawing out in the open
The drawing of him. A shiver ran up
Roadbumps - America X Reader"Alfred! You're gonna kill us!" (Y/N) screamed, clinging to her arm rests for dear life, as her boyfriend drove like a maniac."Dude! This is fun!" He laughed, hazardously speeding the old RV up. "I haven't yet, why would I now!?"(Y/N) had been dating her hero, Alfred, for about 2 years now. All the time he had been badgering her about going on a road trip in his RV with him, but only recently did she agree. They took off right away, starting in (Y/n)'s hometown. Now they were out in the mid-south, driving along the star-lit gravel road. It was night out, but from the headlights you could see the cacti and rocks on the side of the road, whizzing by."Alfred! Watch out!" (Y/N) squeaked, backing up in her seat and pointing at a large rock in the road. "Hmm?" Alfred mumbled calmly, only succeeding in hitting it when he looked at her. They ran over it and the RV started making a puttering sound, and he can to a stand-still in the road. (Y/N)'s skin was pale as she stared at Alfred in horr
America x Reader ~Nearsighted~~Nearsighted~"Alfred, I like you."The person who you had a crush on for nearly three years was standing right in front of you and staring at you. Before, you had only stolen glances at him from various points of your classrooms afraid that he or some other classmate might catch you looking at him. Alfred wasn't a particularly smart student, but just to increase your chances of being in the same classes with him, you remained in preparatory courses instead of the honors and advanced courses your teachers and counselors had recommended. Now, after many years of watching him from afar, you finally summed up your courage and confronted your aching feelings and fears by saying the three simple yet critical words."Say what?" Alfred replied. You hadn't been expecting something like that.Did I say it too softly? you wondered. Your face was beet-red, but nevertheless, you decided to try again."I like you," you repeated yourself in a sl

In the 1970s, sport riders were modifying their street bikes with some of what they saw being used on the racetrack, including clip-on handlebars, rear set footpegs, and 'fast' colours. This was done just as much for the look as for increased performance. The Café Racer style was born.
A classic for today - now coming with seating for two.
The new 2007 Sport 1000 biposto, with a comfortable dual seat, raised handlebars and classic twin shocks, elegantly captures the bold style of the early bikes. A removable rear seat cover gives the Sport 1000 biposto the Café Racer look, but when removed reveals a seat for your favourite passenger.
The Sport 1000 is also available in the monoposto version. Whether you select the monoposto or biposto version, the Sport 1000 is built with quality throughout.
The Sport 1000 biposto mounts high performance Marzocchi front forks with classic brushed aluminium surfaces. For rear suspension it mounts a massive 60mm swingarm, with twin fully adjustable Sachs shocks. The unique suspension layout of the Sport 1000 biposto ensures that its look matches the classic appeal of the bike, while still delivering the superior road holding and performance you expect from Ducati.

Is it possible to use gunpowder as a fuel for automobiles??
I was just watching videos about guns on the YouTube and saw how the bolt is pushed back once a bullet is fired. so i just wanted to relate the bolt of a gun with the piston of a car.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Apr 25 2013: The first problem is that gunpowder contains its own oxidizer, which makes it explosive. How do you get the right amount of gunpowder into a cylinder without exploding the whole source? The second problem is ignition. Unless you contain it like a cartridge, any residual heat from the previous cylinder firing will prematurely set it off. Since timing is critical, this has to be controlled. The third problem is that since gunpowder is explosive, it probably wouldn't be able to pass safety requirements to make it legal. An accident is liable to be catastrophic.

"Italians from Long Island? Wha?"
Next thing you're going to tell me is that a lot of Jewish people also are from Long Island.
You know, because the Mets play there? It's not like they are the team you should want to model your marriage after.
I suppose we will have to take a wait-and-see approach on how the decision to host their wedding reception at Citi Field will work out for newlyweds and Long Island residents Francesco Caputo and Jacqueline Scotti (Italians from Long Island? Wha?), who did just that on Saturday. Will the negative vibes that seem to envelop the bumbling ball team be a harbinger of things to come, or will the Caputos trump tradition and have a long, happy marriage?
After a formal wedding at the Church of St. Aidan in Long Island, the couple took a white trolley over to Queens for the reception. Via the New York Daily News:
"We wanted something different, and it ended up being something really amazingly different because nobody has done it here before," Scotti, 32, told the News. "Frank is a huge insane Mets fan … and I am now too."
The beaming bride blushed.
"I had to be a fan," she added. "Frank told me, 'If you want this ring on your finger, you have to be a Mets fan.' My loyalty is to my fiance. So, whatever team he supports, I support."
Nothing like withholding a marriage proposal on the basis of whether or not you are a fan of the same baseball squad. Talk about taking Puddy's "Gotta support the team" mantra up a notch to a level of absurd insanity.
The reception with 270 guests was held in the Acela Club inside Citi Field but after the jump is video of the happy couple gallivanting around the diamond as well as hanging out in the dugout. Talk about romantical. I imagine it is every little girl's dream to one day get married and hang out in a dugout, with all the chew spit stains on the concrete.
Wow. What a bunch of friggin' rubes, man. At the same time, you have to give the gal credit for going along with the groom's dream. Good luck caving in every Francesco's sports-themed fantasy for the rest of your marriage, Jacqueline. My guess is they consummated the marriage while Caputo was wearing a Mr. Met outfit. Creepy.
Long Island couple, Mets fans first to celebrate wedding at Citi Field [New York Daily News]
"Italians from Long Island? Wha?"
Next thing you're going to tell me is that a lot of Jewish people also are from Long Island.
I loved every minute of it-the wedding was spectacular from beginning to end!!
As an attendee of the reception at Citifield, I was blown away with the heartfelt love that was in the 'chilly' air that day. I'am a German from Long Island, Was? I think your amateur writing was trying to imply something? A Rube according to the dictionary is a "country bumpkin", so again what are you getting at? Honestly, your blog is a joke- read only by fantasy baseball die-hards. I think your wife wants to go shopping while your down in the basement with bong at hand, trying to conjure up some sort of witty opinions about sports, pro-teams, sportscasters and people within the industry that make a hell of a lot more money than you do. Don't be jealous-it's transparent that you want a better career. And finally don't be angry that your wife is ugly, as you can see Frank and Jackie are a damn good looking couple with a bright future ahead of them, you however need to keep your opinions to yourself and use a little tact. Your a blogger for god sakes!
HAHA so I'm guessing you proposed to your fiancé' when the Mets were in 1st place two years ago and she left you they lost to the Marlins and didn't make it into the playoffs. Or was it that you just weren't efficient when it came to rounding the bases? You sound like a sore divorced house wife. You're just pissed that your girlfriend left you for a real sportswriter, you weren't invited, and you didn't think of it yourself. And yes, that's my real name. See me "Weed against Speed" chump!
The bride is my neice…the wedding was nothing short of amazing. They wanted to be untraditional and that was exactly what they did on the most special day of their lives. Jackie and Frank are the most wonderful couple and are very much in love, they will enjoy a long and happy life together no matter where they celebrated their wedding reception. What a shame that a person like you would try to put a damper on this. Don't be a hater, it only makes you look stupid.
Mr. Tasteless Blogger! Let me start by saying…… Just like many other people have commented on this beautiful couple who are not only my friends and two people I love dearly. Obviously you have issues dealing with not only relationships but LIFE in general. I can almost see you sitting at your computer looking like someone from another planet!!!! Which means not only do you not have any friends; you find ways to interact bizarrely in other peoples lives! Let me ask you a question, do you not have a passion for anything that matters? This couple not only married for love but planned their AMAZING Wedding with one of there passions. "THE AMAZING METS"& Just in case you didn't know passions have many meanings. Apparently you don't have any but being a nasty obnoxious blogger! Have yourself a nice day @$#hole!!!!!
PS: Leave Aunt Patty alone!!!!!!!!!
My cousin's wedding was one of the most fun ones I've been to EVER!! The Clubhouse was AWESOME!! The foods were spectacular! And the love and energy in the receptiion was "OUTTA SIGHT"!! The Bride and Groom made a GORGEOUS newlywed couple. My 80 year old mom had a blast, and she's a Yankee fan! My 2 year old cousin had a blast! So, it REALLY DOESN'T MATTER what SPEEDY WEEDY says or thinks now, does it! (Sounds like maybe Weedy had some bad speed-y that day, guys! LMAO)
I think ppl need to mind their business. No one knows what's going on or what went on to lead to this point. A marriage consists of 2 ppl not hundreds and their comments. If any one has ever been married and truly loved each other knows that trust, honesty is very important in a relationship. without it you have nothing, your living a lie. I believe Shaq loves Shaunie she is the mother of his kids and I'm sure he will take care of his kids. But trust and love are two different things and with out one you don't have the other. So this is a personal matter that needs to be resolved between a husband and wife and only they know what went wrong.
