Following Arsenal's FA Cup final triumph over Hull City it seemed like it would only be a matter of time before it was made official, and as reported by Sky Sports, Arsene Wenger agreed to a new deal with the club on Friday.
The French manager suffered through a difficult 2013-14 campaign but bounced back by winning the Gunners their first trophy in nearly nine years. The FA Cup was apparently enough for the board to offer Wenger a new deal that will keep him at the club until 2017.
The club made the news official:
It's official, the #Arsenal boss has signed a new contract! Full story: http://t.co/VymJKmUJ0D #WengerSigns pic.twitter.com/vd835DKGkX— Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) May 30, 2014
Piers Morgan was one of many to break the news on Friday:
BREAKING NEWS: Arsene Wenger has agreed a new 3-year contract to stay as Arsenal manager until 2017. Official. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 30, 2014
The TV personality has always been one of Wenger's biggest critics, and he unsurprisingly wasn't satisfied with the news:
My #WengerOut campaign has therefore failed, and I accept defeat. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 30, 2014
To his credit, he took the news like a man, though one has to wonder exactly how long he'll make this promise last:
I will also now throw my support behind Wenger for the duration of his new contract. While reserving the right to be critical. #afc— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) May 30, 2014
It didn't take long for the first players to congratulate their manager. Aaron Ramsey seemed excited about the team's future:
Congratulations to the boss on signing for another 3 years, looking forward to building on last season's success #WengerSigns— Aaron Ramsey (@aaronramsey) May 30, 2014
If Wenger sees this deal through, he'll have been in charge of the club for 21 years, which seems like eternity in modern football. ESPN FC's James Dall couldn't help but remind people:
Wenger's got this. pic.twitter.com/hxTsSD4KxW— James Dall (@JamesDallESPN) May 30, 2014
Squawka's Jack Watson thinks this new deal will define Wenger's career at the club:
The next three years are the biggest of Arsene Wenger's career. If he falls into the same desperate loss of form as 05-11 he's in trouble.— Jack (@JackWatson_) May 30, 2014
Wenger's first few seasons in charge of the Gunners were a rousing success, with three Premier League titles and four FA Cup wins lifting the team to new heights.
However, nearly nine trophyless years had plenty of fans questioning whether the Frenchman would present the club with their best chance of success in the future, and one FA Cup win did little to change that.
Eurosport's Tom Adams was sceptical of the new deal, without being too critical:
Unconvinced that three more years of Wenger is quite what Arsenal need but let's see how it plays out.— Tom Adams (@tomEurosport) May 30, 2014
European Football thought the deal perhaps was a bit generous toward Wenger:
One cup & three more years. Not a bad ratio, Wenger.— European Football (@CL_football) May 30, 2014
Life of Barawayne didn't hide his opinion:
Arsenal fans right now "@EbukaAkara: #InOtherNews Wenger agrees three-year Arsenal deal." pic.twitter.com/QcBewahmfJ— Life of Barawayne (@barawayne) May 30, 2014
This particular fan was more impressed with Sky Sports' coverage of the news:
Wish Sky Sports News would make it clearer Wenger's signed a new contract. pic.twitter.com/TDCMjkOjZZ— Luke McCabe (@LukeMcCabeBambi) May 30, 2014
ESPN's Janusz Michallik immediately turned his gaze on the future of the club, as the next three years will give both the club and Wenger a chance to find the right man to succeed the French manager at the club:
Wenger signs. Congrats! Hope he and Arsenal will be mindful to look long term and identify the right successor.— Janusz Michallik (@JanuszESPN) May 30, 2014
Three more years of Wenger obviously means three more years of coat-jokes:
Hey @pumafootball, nothing says "Congratulations on your new contract Mr Wenger" like a nice new coat with a nice working zip. #AFC— Arsene's Eyes (@Arsenes_Eyes) May 30, 2014
4th place guaranteed for the next 3 years as Arsene Wenger agrees a new contract plus a new coat as an add-on. #afc pic.twitter.com/EjTl9LQj9y— NOW TV Sport (@NOWTVSport) May 30, 2014
With Wenger, Arsenal are choosing stability over the uncertainty of their first manager in nearly two decades.
The club won't have to scramble for a new manager during a summer already filled with the World Cup, and instead can focus their attention on the transfer market.
Whether Wenger will be able to deliver Premier League glory to the Gunners for the first time since The Invincibles remains to be seen, but at this point in time, there seemed to be few alternatives.
Arsenal witnessed first-hand how difficult it can be to replace a legendary manager, and the example set by Manchester United in 2013-14 no doubt influenced the decision to give Wenger three more seasons.

The nation's once-a-decade tally of its residents will yield more than just information on population, demographics and other valuable data used to divvy up federal funds and draw legislative district lines.
Census 2010 will also be a source of good, temporary jobs -- between 800 and 1,100 on the Island and millions nationwide -- a boon during these hard economic times.
"It helps the people who are looking for work," said Marianne Maloney, a partnership specialist with the Census. "We still have such high unemployment."
The Census is already administering tests and putting together a workforce of enumerators, the people who will go door to door to count those who fail to fill out the
10-question form that will be sent to all American households beginning on March 19.
Also available are clerical, office and telephone-answering jobs.
The jobs, full and part-time, will pay between $13.50 and $20.50 an hour and will last anywhere from a couple of weeks to a couple of months.
Those interested in working as enumerators must be 18 years or older, and while U.S. citizenship is not required, Ms. Maloney said that it is preferred that workers at least have a green card.
Those applying must take a 30-minute exam that will test their counting skills and their ability to navigate neighborhoods. Ms. Maloney urged those who are thinking of applying to take a practice test online at www.2010censusjobs.gov. You can also call 1-866-861-2010.
"We want you to score as close to 100 percent as possible," she said, adding that military veterans get an automatic 10-point credit on the test.
In 2000, roughly 62 percent of Islanders responded to the Census, the best results from a borough in the city, but a plateau that Ms. Maloney is looking to top this year. Sending enumerators into the field "guarantees that the response rate goes up," she said, compared to the rate of mail-backs only.
The Island census office is located at 1150 South Ave., Bloomfield.

NEWARK — Three Essex County men have been charged with killing a 22-year-old Newark man outside the funeral home where the victim's uncle was being mourned, authorities said today.
Laquan Willis, 23, of East Orange, and Newark residents Nakeish Fleming, 24, and Robert Laboo, 29, have all been charged with murder, conspiracy and weapons offenses in the death of 22-year-old Jahid Devlin, Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray said.
Devlin was mourning the death of his uncle, Ali Echols, outside the Churchman Funeral Home when someone pushed through the crowd and shot him April 24.
The day after the killing, law enforcement sources told The Star-Ledger Devlin's killing was part of a war within a Central Ward-based faction of the Bloods street gang.
Willis and Fleming were arrested by a federal fugitive task force on June 17, Murray said. Laboo was captured this morning in Queens, she said.
All three will be held in lieu of $750,000 bail, according to Murray, who said Willis and Fleming are in custody at the Essex County jail and will make their first appearances in Superior Court in Newark on Tuesday. Laboo will be extradited from New York.
• Officials: Gang feud sparked killing of Newark man at his uncle's wake
• Newark man shot and killed as he left a wake, authorities say

Opportunity isn't everything in the NFL, but it can mean a great deal in fantasy football. Whether a player is overmatched or unqualified doesn't matter, great opportunities can produce numbers, which is the name of the game.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Harry Douglas could have a prime opportunity in Week 7 and beyond with Julio Jones out for the season, and veteran Roddy White slowed all season. Can Douglas seize the opportunity?
Overview: The last man standing in the Falcons wide receiver corps with Julio Jones (foot) out for the season and Roddy White dealing with ankle and hamstring injuries.
Background: Fifth-year wideout picked in the third round of the 2008 NFL draft. … has been used sparingly as the fourth option, at best, in the Falcons offense, averaging 31 catches for 377 yards over his first four seasons. … has also returned to duties as the Falcons' primary punt returner, which yielded a touchdown during his rookie season in '08.
2013 stats: 16 catches, 27 targets, 219 yards, 0 TDs in 5 games
Numbers and trends: Has gotten between 4 and 6 targets in all five of the Falcons' games. … his best performance came in Week 1, when he caught four passes (on six targets) for 93 yards, including a 50-yarder. … has been held to single-digit yardage in two of his last three games. … best performance of his career came in 2011 when he caught eight passes for 133 yards against the New Orleans Saints.
Strengths: Opportunity is there for the taking minus Jones and, presumably, White in Week 7. … has value going forward in the Falcons' pass-centric offense as White hobbles through the rest of the season. … even in a limited role, has been a favorite target of quarterback Matt Ryan's in the red zone. … odds of double-digit targets have increased exponentially, giving Douglas sustainable value, especially in PPR leagues.
Risk factors: Has produced very little in five NFL seasons, so it's fair to question just how good he can be. … Matt Ryan is just as likely to lean more on tight end Tony Gonzalez and his stable of running backs than give more attention to Douglas.
ESPN ownership: 16.1 percent.
Verdict: Has terrific value potential as a WR3 or FLEX play in all formats, especially if White's hamstring issues linger.

I noticed a lot of the guys commented on the lack of a RIT zero button. May I offer a suggestion? Don't use RIT at all. Put the rig in the split mode and press A=B. Then use the main knob for tuning instead of using the little RIT knob. If you want to see what freq the TX is set to, just touch the TF-SET button and you can retune the RX as needed. Works like a charm. Also one fellow commented that there have been no service bulletins issued since day one. Sorry, not so. If you buy the service manual you'll get a bunch of them included with it. I didn't take an exact count but it looks like about a dozen. 73, Bill W7TI -- CQ-Contest on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/_cq-contest/ Administrative requests: firstname.lastname@example.com

Continuing his battle against the proposed merger of Ticketmaster and Live Nation, U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell launched two websites today aimed at educating the public about the corporate plan and giving ticket-buying fans a forum to voice their opposition.
Pascrell (D-8th Dist.) unveiled ticketdisaster.org and ticketdisaster.com as part of his year-long effort to pressure the Justice Department to squash the plan to unite Ticketmaster, the nation's biggest ticket seller, with Live Nation, the largest promoter of live entertainment and second largest ticket seller.
Pascrell said recent indications that Ticketmaster and Live Nation may offer concessions to win approval of the merger are worrisome. Calling the merger "a hostile takeover of the concert industry," he said no concessions will fix the plan's anti-competitive nature.
"There is little doubt that the result of this merger will be higher ticket prices and fees for fans and chilling effects on consumers, business managers, artists, music fans and promoters," Pascrell said. "These companies have gotten away with murder and it's time to say, 'Wait a minute.'"
The websites, created in collaboration with the National Consumer League and the National Association of Ticket Brokers, will help fans have their say, Pascrell said.
"Consumers never thought until recently that they had a shot of affecting policy on this," he said. "These websites will give the fan, the ticket buyers, the information they need to understand how they will be affected by the proposed merger."
One of the earliest critics of the merger, which was unveiled last February, Pascrell testified against the plan before the House Judiciary Antitrust Committee in May. In July, he submitted a letter signed by 50 members of Congress urging assistant attorney general Christine Varney to reject the companies' bid to join forces.
Joining Pascrell today at a press conference in Washington were representatives from the National Consumers League and the National Association of Ticket Brokers, two of four organizations that issued a statement last month opposing the merger.
The organizations urged the Justice Department to stop the plan on the grounds the new company would have "unprecedented control over each aspect of the industry, from artist management to concert promotion, including ticket distribution and concession stands."
Tom Patania, immediate past president of the National Association of Ticket Brokers and owner of Riverdale-based Select-A-Ticket, said federal officials should prevent the merger.
"Ticketmaster's game plan is if you can't beat 'em, buy 'em out," he said.
Pascrell said he believes justice officials will act on the merger within in the next two months, so he will continue the push for rejection of the bid.

Oracle Data Guard Replication Support in Sun Cluster Express Geographic Edition
By timread on Jun 13, 2008
If you read the Solaris Cluster Express 6/08 available for download blog posting, you will have noticed that it mentioned that SCX Geographic Edition had been enhanced to support Oracle Data Guard replication. Now if you run Oracle 10g or 11g RAC in your data centers and need to integrate them into a disaster recovery framework that supports: Sun StorageTek Availability Suite (AVS), Hitachi TrueCopy and EMC SRDF then read on.
SCX Geographic Edition (SCXGE) is binary distribution of the open source version of Sun Cluster Geographic Edition (SCGE) that runs on Solaris Cluster Express (SCX) on top of Solaris Express Community Edition (SXCE) build 86. [We love our acronyms and abbreviations]. Trivia: did you know that SUN itself is an acronym that originally stood for Stanford University Networks?
Back to the plot... Services made highly available by SCX resource groups can grouped together in "protection groups". SCXGE then uses the robust start and stop methods of SCX to ensure that the protection group is migrated in a controlled fashion from a primary location to a standby site. This migration includes performing all the tasks needed to change the direction of data flow provided by the underlying replication technology. The advantage being that SCXGE hides the complexity of the individual replication methods behind a common command line interface. Thus switching a service from site A to site B is reduced to:
# geopg switchover -m newhost_cluster my-protection-pg
regardless of whether the replication was AVS, TC or SRDF based.
Support for Oracle Data Guard (ODG) extends SCXGE's capability beyond just software and storage based replication technologies. Internally, the ODG module uses the Oracle Data Guard broker interface which restricts its use to Oracle 10g and 11g RAC configurations only, i.e. no support for HA-Oracle.
So once you set up your Oracle RAC databases, configure ODG and create your Data Guard broker configuration, you can add that to your SCXGE configuration and have it monitored and controlled, just as you do for your other non-ODG protection groups. The module allows you to have multiple ODG protection groups, each with one or more ODG broker configuration in. Remember that each protection group can span any SCXGE partnership pair, so you can only have one primary and one standby database in each of these broker configurations.
If this has got you interested, feel free to download and install the SCX software bundle with the new ODG module and try it out. Just remember that this is the first build. I'm working on fixing all the bugs that my colleagues in QA discover, so keep an eye on this blog and the Open HA Cluster for news of any updates.
Although we don't offer support for this product, you can post questions in any of the usual forums (or is it fora ).

Huff batting fifth at DH, Guillen in LF
I know there was a lot of speculation that Aubrey Huff could slot into the third spot, but for now, Huff will hit fifth and give Miguel Cabrera some protection. Cabrera, for one, appears to be a big fan of that.
"I just felt that's the way it best matched up," manager Jim Leyland said. "I don't know if it'll stay that way."
As far as where Huff will play, we'll see. But Leyland felt comfortable enough with Guillen and his throwing arm to give him a shot in left field tonight, his first game in the outfield since going on the DL in early May with his inflamed right shoulder.
"He told me he could play left field before," Leyland said, "so I just put him out there tonight. I probably wouldn't have before we got Huff."

I thought they would put Huff at 3rd being a weak link. Carlos though makes more sense as whilst he is hitting well now since the break with .301/.383 and .249/.323 overall for the season, his clutch hitting is no where near as good with his RISP .238/.333 post break and .216/.328 for the season.
DD has quite frankly done a marvellous job the past month. He took his time and delivered good value trades for Washburn and Huff and obviously worked his butt off in the drafts picking up all of the top picks that were heading to college.
Now it is up to JL to get the offense loose when it counts. Hopefully Huff is the catalyst for change.
Carlos in left field? Oh dear. That was trouble when Carlos was relatively healthy. We'll see.
Otherwise, I'm liking this lineup. If everyone can come through now and again we might have something.
Have to get 6 good innings out of the Kid tonight.
Porcello leads MLB with 21 GIDP
Nice start by Rick – don't you just love the first pitch GIDP – not by a Tig!!!
If any Tig lineup is going to hit Felix, this is it. Sorry Ramon is not in though.
Clete Thomas and his .208 avg since the break, is in RF.
Ordonez with his .308 avg since the break, is on the bench.
Cletus vs Magglio…….
Magglio has a higher average by 100 points since the break.
Magglio has a higher OBP by 28 points
Magglio has a higher Slugging pct by 232 points
Magglio has a higher OPS by 259 points
Against RHP's, it doesn't mattter, Maggs is hot, Cletus is not
"If he hits he plays", apparently not
Welcome to the Tigers Aubrey.
I am surprised that Maggs is not in the lineup tonight. A little disappointed 'bout that. At least Clete isn't batting 3rd. I can't imagine Carlos in LF, but we'll see what happens. Rick looks terrific! Wonder if the crowd gave him a standing O when he took the mound?
Good for Everett! And, a steal too. He's been the whipping boy since the Boston series. Doggone it. What an inning.
Go Adam – more than happy to see you get a runner home!!
Couldn't believe that was only Clete's 2nd stolen base without a caught, from 85 TB's. At Toledo this year, Clete has 18 stolen bases, 3 caught from only 73 TB's.
Let you draw your own conclusions.
Here's hoping Huff can contribute at the plate this evening because they sure don't need another DH on the roster.
If Huff can play 3rd and spell Inge every 3-4 games then could be a good late season rental. But for $2MM you think DD could have found a corner OF with speed, youth & versatility? I don't like exposing Guillen in LF this season unless Inge and Everett can make the cutoff throw less taxing on his shoulder. On paper, Huff looks like a good addition for his bat though. Go TIGS!
Man, this Tiger flu is easy to catch – within 24 hours, Huff has all the symptons – GIDP and missed RISP.
Carlos and Miggs look sharp today.
Bad call, that pitch
Dave, I was just going to make the same comment about the Tiger FLU and Huff. This server has a 5-6 minute delay some nights. I guess Leyland knows that Porcello induces grounders so maybe that's why he stuck Carlos in LF. Only 2 balls out of the infield, RP has his "A" game on?
Our bats better heat up now!
Ryan Perry taking over. Oh, man, please get us out of this, Ryan.
Granderson, 3 for 3 KO's that is and looks terrible up there tonight. JL needs to move Curtis down to the 6 or 7 slot to get him going "again" at least above .257, please.
My God, what a game!
I feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack. It's 9:53 pm, but my last post says 10:02. Maybe we've won and I don't know it yet.
Come on, Rodzilla.
That's our closer!
I have a large bottle of Tums in the garage for feeding my tomato plants. I almost had to get that bottle from the garage tonight so I could make it through the 9th inning.
Anyhow, glad that I decided to postpone my evening workout to park myself on the couch and enjoy the game, thank goodness I didn't miss all the excitement! Now on to my workout…JP
Well that was a heck of a battle there with Rodney and Lopez and thank you that we came out on top. Porcello was really good he looked like he came a little unwound after that homer. I think it may of threw him for a loop. We did luck out a little tonight – that guy in right field I believe did interfer with that foul ball. Then there was that error in the eighth inning. Well fair or not I'll take it.

Citizens Against The Helipad is continuing to lead the opposition against the proposed helipad at Overlook Medical Center.
The proposed helipad has already been rejected by the Summit Zoning Board in 2010, and an appeal to the Superior Court of New Jersey was denied earlier this year. Overlook Medical Center has now filed an application with the New Jersey Department of Transportation seeking approval for the helipad.
"This helipad has been rejected twice by the Summit Zoning Board and the Superior Court of New Jersey, after both entities found that the helipad would diminish the quality of life in Summit and hurt property values," said Andy Gottesman, member of Citizens Against The Helipad.
"Overlook Medical Center is attempting an end-run around our local land use decision-making by appealing to the state."
Summit residents are asked to send comments to the New Jersey Department of Transportation at: Office of Community Relations, New Jersey Department of Transportation, 1035 Parkway Avenue, PO Box 600, Trenton, NJ 08625-0600.
A sample letter can be found on the Facebook page for Citizens Against the Helipad at facebook.com/NoHelipad. Comments must be received by Jan. 13.
"The facts on the helipad remain the same as they were in 2010 when the Summit Zoning Board denied the hospital's application," said Gottesman.
"The helipad is unnecessary with two suitable landing sites already in place for Overlook Medical Center and four other comprehensive stroke centers within a short distance."
Gottesman continued, "Overlook Medical Center would be the first hospital in the country to require a helipad for the sole purpose of serving stroke patients. Expert testimony offered at the Summit Zoning Board hearing suggested that helicopter transport would offer minimal benefit, if any."
"With the closest home 325 feet from the proposed helipad, Overlook's proposal is not only unnecessary, but also unsafe for our community," Gottesman said.

Frank Urges Bernanke Support for Permanent Lifting of CLF Cap
WASHINGTON - House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank is asking Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke to support permanently lifting the cap on the Central Liquidity Facility.
Frank said doing so would help the CLF fund programs that will "keep the credit union system strong."
He wrote the letter on December 23 but it was released today.
He thanked Bernanke for supporting NCUA's request to use the CLF for the Credit Union Homeowners Affordability Relief Program (CU HARP), which will assist homeowners struggling to make mortgage payments and the Credit Union System Investment Program (CU SIP), which is designed to help provide liquidity to corporate credit unions.
According to the NCUA, the CLF is funding $164 million in advances under the CU HARP and approximately $4.9 billion in advances under the CU SIP.
Last fall, Congress passed a measure raising the CLF's cap from the $1.5 billion it had been at since 2001. The change allows the facility to lend money to credit unions based on the formula established in the Federal Credit Union Act, which is estimated to be $41.5 billion.
Frank also said he feared that credit unions would be hurt by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's "misguided" decision not to use Troubled Asset Recovery Program (TARP) to buy illiquid assets."
NCUA Chairman Michael E. Fryzel said in a statement that he is "pleased Chairman Frank has recognized NCUA's efforts to equip credit unions with any and all appropriate tools for use in dealing with the broader market dislocations."

In what game does Master Chief get the jump on an armored Ganondorf on the top of Dracula's Castle?
Funny thing is that this Master Chief texture is so big that sometimes I think I am playing Ganon.

Filling Wood Grain for Perfect Finishing
Page 1
McKinney, Texas, woodworker Jim Kull, has been restoring furniture, building antique replications, and doing custom work full-time since he took early retirement over a decade ago. "It's something that I always wanted to do, but I wasn't expecting to set up shop until I was 62," Jim offers. "Today, I love restoration, and that includes wood finishing. So, when we wanted to get filled in on filling wood grain, we turned to Jim.
"If you want a glasslike finish, such as on a desk or a tabletop, you have to fill the grain-actually the wood pores in the grain," says Jim. "Oak is the best example. You can see an oak piece with either filled grain that has a smooth, reflective finish or with unfilled grain and a semi-rough look. The difference in texture is like glass versus fabric."
Yet, as with most anything, there's more to filling than smoothness, according to Jim. "Filling is more a matter of preference for the look you want or an effect that you are trying to achieve. Because in addition to finish texture, you can either accent the grain or subdue it-making it striking or bland."
There are essentially four ways to fill the pores of a coarse-grained wood like oak, walnut, and mahogany. And from Jim's experience, none of them prove easy.
"You can fill the pores with your finish material, whether it's varnish, lacquer, or water-base," he explains. "It just takes repeated coats with sanding in between. This won't accentuate the grain any more than it is naturally. Secondly, you can use a prepared water-based filler right out of the can. It takes stain, so you can highlight the pores, but it also has distinct disadvantages-like drying too quickly-that make it difficult to use. I don't bother with it."
That leaves two options: an oil slurry and commercial oil-based paste filler. Jim prefers the oil slurry, so we asked him to go through that process first.
Page 2
A watery mix of insoluble materials is a slurry. To Jim, that means an oil/varnish, such as Watco Danish Oil, mixed with sanding dust. "The Watco darkens the pores for contrast," he says. "I pour a liberal amount on the surface, then sand vigorously with 100-grit-the paper has to produce sanding dust."
With burlap, a towel, or an old washcloth, Jim packs the slurry into the wood. "I don't wipe off any excess slurry," he notes. "I just let it dry overnight. Then, I sand it again, adding more oil if needed. The new sanding dust blends with the original slurry and further fills the pores when I pack it in. This time, I wipe off the excess before letting the surface dry. After the second slurrying, all the grain should be filled."
The tinted oil in the slurry will have colored the entire wood surface. To color only the pores requires removing the dried surface oil with more sanding. "If you don't want to stain the wood," Jim advises, "simply use a clear or natural oil, such as linseed oil diluted about one-third with paint thinner. Then your slurry will take on the ambient color of the wood and tend to wash out the grain for an even look (see photo below left). In either case, I let the surface dry for several days before final sanding and the application of a finish coat."
The striking grain contrast of this oak sample came from accenting with a darkly tinted commercial paste filler.
Page 3
"Paste filler comes from the can the consistency of peanut butter. So thin it with paint thinner, benzine, or naphtha to a heavy cream," Jim instructs. "And because a paste filler is generally off-white in color, you'll have to add stain or a tint to it if you want to accent the grain (as shown below left). Otherwise, the light-colored filler will obscure it. You can purchase colored fillers, but for better results, color your own."
Jim applies the paste filler to the surface with a small plastic spreader (as shown previous page), pushing the creamy material across the grain into the pores of the wood. After the filler has dried, Jim sands the entire surface with 120-grit to remove the filler from the non-porous areas. The remaining filler accentuates the grain. After cleaning the surface of dust with a tack cloth, he lays down a clear finish.
According to the finishing expert, a paste filler can provide some spectacular results. "You can stain the wood dark, seal it, then put on a lighter filler for contrast. Or vice versa. Myself, I like to make the wood jump out at you."
Use an untinted, natural oil slurry to achieve an even coloration in the filled wood grain, as on this piece of oak.

and yes, you could probably use them for dredging and frying
I have two egg whites sitting in a bowl in the fridge - they are left over from making mayonnaise. I can't just throw them out but can't think what to do with them?? Any ideas welcome! I did think of cutting pork steaks into fingers, dipping them in the whites then in almond flour and Parmesan as a sort of breading - would this work?
and yes, you could probably use them for dredging and frying
--Trish (Bork)
FOOD PORN BLOG! http://theprimaljunkfoodie.blogspot.com
Just toss them in with your morning omelette if nothing else comes up first. Extra protein.
I also use a blender recipe for mayo from the Joy of Cooking that uses a whole egg.
Life is an ongoing Experiment of One, so here's to science!
My Primal Journal: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread37576.html
Maybe its due to my youth and inexperience, but whenever I have left over egg whites I just throw them in a skillet and eat. Nothing fancy....just cook and eat.
Omelette - great idea! Shrimp, more egg, garlic - and eat with the mayonnaise on a salad. Lunch - sorted!
Shoot 'em like a couple of oysters.
I'd make a soufflé. whip your egg whites with the whites of a couple more eggs and mix the yolks into a veggie puree (I like winter squash) with some good grated parmesan and a little milk. fold the whites into the yolks and veg and bake until fluffy with a crispy top. (google for a more precise recipe)
These crepes that taste just like real crepes Getting off the couch, Grainless, super low carb, sugar free, gluten... with this amendment if you don't like flax: half a tsp of psyllium husk instead and let soak 5 minutes.
I always end up with too many yolks because I make so many of my primal crepes!

7 Simple Tips to Make Your Living Room Look Expensive
The living room is often the first place home decorators look at when they're ready to revamp a space. As the central component in any home, it should reflect your tastes and aesthetic, but what if your champagne style is at odds with your canned-beer budget? Scroll through for seven tips for making your living room look luxurious and timeless (and only seem expensive).
A cluttered, overaccessorized space can look messy and disorganized rather than chic and sophisticated. Pare down your collection, and only retain pieces that have sentimental value or evoke strong memories. A simplified space will enable the remaining elements to really shine.
Dot & Bo Fouchee Ceramic and Wood Vase ( $19 ) ($16)
Nothing brings down the feeling of sophisticated luxury in a space quite like a huge black television placed front and center. If fancy mirrors that conceal the TV aren't in your budget, visually minimize the presence of your screen by creating a gallery wall or salon-style art arrangement around it. Although it won't entirely disappear, the frame of the television will blend in with the other artwork and distract the eye.
Chairish Vintage Impasto Oil Painting of Pansies ($95)
Give your room a custom look by using vintage or antique textiles to make throw pillows or cover small pieces like seat cushions or upholstered stools. The unusual fabric will inject your room with a unique element and will personalize your space.
Jayson Home Vintage Kantha Scarf ($75)
Prevent your room from becoming a sea of straight lines and circular forms by introducing an element with an interesting shape or unique silhouette. A tree-root coffee table or unusual side chair will feel like a piece of art in your living room, adding an unexpected and wholly artistic component to your design.
Chairish Solid Wood Zen Chair ($225)
Create a focal point and give your space some wow factor by hanging an oversize piece of art by itself on one of your living room walls. The look is chic and high-impact with very little hassle. Keep your eyes peeled at flea markets and thrift stores for large pieces at reasonable prices, or get creative and make your own.
UGallery "Oregon Reflections" by Grant Taylor ($140)
Give your space a sense of wisdom and incorporate a piece with some patina and age to it. Anything from a mirror to a small side table or accessory will do the trick—the older the better. If it gives off an air of "I-was-purchased-at-a-French-flea-market-and-came-from-an-old-château," it will do the trick.
Chairish Midcentury Ornate Mirror ( $1200 ) ($125)
Meghan Beierle-O'Brien for Luxe, design by Wendy Labrum Interiors
A layered, thoughtful mix of materials and textures will give your space a custom-designed, luxurious look. Mix metals, glass, wood, a variety of textiles, and leather items to create a dynamic, inviting space.
Cost Plus World Market Woven Cebu Screen ($130)

Enjoy the wholesome goodness of Kaskey's Chicken Noodle Soup. Great for lunch, dinner, or anytime!
Great tasting and you can't beat the price!
All of the kaskey's soups are awesome! Rich texture and they have a Wonderful Flavor!! My whole Family loves them. Great for lunch and for a quick dinner!
the best soup it is not too salty and my whole family loves it specially my 3 year old son will.
My grandchildren love this soup. It is even better than Campbell's and a lot cheaper.
Kaskey's soup and bullion cubes are among the best if not the best. I think that says it all and I am a big soup lover. I make homemade Chicken & Beef Veg. & Beef barely a few times a month each from scratch. But when you want some good soup fast there great.
This soup is very good. Has lots of noodles and rich flavor.
Great soup for the price!!!!!
I tried this soup and would never go back to any other brand. It had a perfect chicken taste and had more flavor and less salt. I used a famous brand name for years and years and after trying this soup, it will be the only chicken noodle soup I will buy. My husband loved it too! Great product...
Both my daughter and my hubby prefer this Chicken Noodle OVER CAMPBELLS! There are more noodles and (more tastily), MORE chicken than what the Campbells has...you certainly cannot beat the value for the price...and it's OH so good on these cold days :-D
This is a great soup. I just add a little lemon juice and it is perfect.
I love this soup... I read where some people do not like msg? I have found almost all products from every manufactorer has msg added.. ketchup, bbque sauce etc... unless its marked I guess one should avoid thee other brands as well... but, for taste, texture, and convience I give this product a 5 star rating
I do not buy any of these products from this company,. MSG, very high on all the ingredient listings, is the only reason. I am allergic to MSG. It a major problem with prepared soups, canned, and powdered mixes.
I love the price and my family loves this soup! I love that save-a-lot is helping the consumer save!
The quality is the same as Campbells. I get better every time I need a bowl of chicken noodle soup and chose Caskey's. The reduced price keeps my weekly shopping list within my budget. Getting the coupon makes it essential to chose Caskey's over any other brand.
Caskey's chicken noodle soup is every bit as good as the name-brand kind, and a lot cheaper. It is perfect for the cold and flu season. I was very pleased with the sodium content compared to other brands, and also the texture and flavor was great. I give Caskey's chicken noodle soup a two-thumbs up!!

We love the Caskey's Chicken Noodle Soup!

Many thousands of years ago, the Great God began a process - laid out in stages- that was to eventually lead humanity to the attainment of Superconsciousness. To that end, Divine Emissaries were sent armed with secret knowledge that was to be encoded into great stone monuments and strategically placed in key locations around the Earth. For lifetimes, we have been awaiting the moment when human consciousness would be elevated to the point where it would cause the "Veil of Isis" to be lifted, allowing the information to once again be truly seen, heard, and understood.
If we think of the Secret knowledge as a body of information, we know that the heart of the body would surely be the Sacred Land of Egypt . . .and if we think of the Aquarian Age as the time when "man" him / herself is destined to pour (direct) the Waters of Creation, then we can say with confidence that the place is here and the time is now.
As we journey down the Nile, the timeless wisdom of the ancient temples and pyramids is available for us to utilize as a stimulant, enabling us to shift, expand, and elevate our own, and planetary consciousness.
Access to these structures allows the Initiate to experience cellular transformation, and the opportunity to rediscover the unlimited power of the Indwelling Christ.
In the presence of the Ancient Mystical Structures, the Initiate is called upon to choose to think and feel differently.
Inside the Great Pyramid at Giza, it is believed that the usual obstacles between thought and manifestation do not exist.
Space has been created for the Initiate to experience the power of his thoughts, and the fullest potential of his Being.
Colorful, majestic India is a country rich in culture and religion. With thousands of years of yogis, gurus and sages flooding the countryside, it is a land filled with ashrams, temples and ancient Hindu monuments. Meet with prominent gurus and learn more of the essential commonality of all mystic cultures.
Everywhere you turn in India is a feast for the eyes. All the buildings, clothing and automobiles paint the landscape like a bouquet of flowers.
The shopping in India is unparalleled. You won't believe the beautiful things you can find for such a great value! And the relationships you will form with shopkeepers are ones to last a lifetime. Did we mention the food? The delicious flavors from the exotic mixtures of spices will be an experience you will never forget.
Explore the magic and mystery of the ancient pre-Incan and Incan ruins nestled high up in the beautiful Peruvian Andes and discover the amazing similarities we find with symbols remaining from the inexplicable ancient Egyptian civilization.
As the powerful Egyptian energy is clearly masculine, the Peruvian energy is palpably feminine. In Cuzco and Machu Picchu, far away from the bustling cities, you can feel the love of Mother God, the great Pacha Mama, relaxing and comforting you as it presses in on you from all sides.
Meet with a master shaman and, through participation in sacred ritual at sacred sites, experience the incomparable healing and transformation available on this mystical journey.
The breathtaking countryside is beautifully matched with the friendly people, delicious food and economical shopping.

I have a pair of 2.8 Khz Inrad filters, like new, for sale. One fits a (mhz slot, and the other a 6 Mhz slot. $180 for the pair shipped CONUS. After trying them for a month I am very satisfied with the difference they make. However, I have decided to configure the filters in my Omni V for dedicated CW work. I already have the 600 Hz roofing filter in my first IF NARROW slot. Because I am buying a second rig dedicated to SSB, I will not be needing these.

Propulsion home page is not showing on mobile devices. It flickers and it seems that is going to render the page, and it goes blank. It continues to flicker randomly showing portions of the page, and goes blank again.
Also, the Contact page is showing a blank page. The rest of the website pages show a responsive sized page without problems.
There are just 3 plugins on the site, I already tried deactivating and even deleting them. Did not work.
In searching for a fix, I found something weird: if I edit a page that is working fine, and set it to No sidebar, the page goes blank on mobile devices. If I go back to Default sidebar, it shows back up again. And that's what both Home and Contact pages have in common: both are set no No Sidebar.
Please help, I need to fix this asap, as you can imagine the client is not very happy.
Thank you,
Hi danielsami!
We'll need to see the site live so we can take a look at the issue first hand.

The 25th anniversary show lived up to the show's dual objective of education with an impressive variety of plants and entertainment with the theme of "The Silver Screen Takes Root .. Gardens Go Hollywood." Most designers interpreted that literally (a Hobbit house and garden; a nod to Audrey Hepburn in "Roman Holiday"; a three-pronged tribute to film noir, romance movies and Westerns; "Aliens" brought to life) and some figuratively (a popcorn and movie screen; a beach garden that was supposed to bring to life the dance scene in "Zorba the Greek.").
My favorite went back and forth between the Audrey Hepburn display and the one celebrating three genres. I think the latter captured my imagination the most because of the details in all three areas, including a dead body in the film noir part. And my childhood in the fields of northern California crawling through barbed wire, digging up rusted horseshoes and watching the annual branding probably played into that, too.
"The Lost Gardener: A Journey From the Wild to the Cultivated," which won the Founders Cup Award, deserved the accolades. Giant rhododendrons and other exotic-looking plants were meant to hide the dinosaurs of "Jurassic Park," King Kong and the enemies of Indiana Jones in "Raiders of the Lost Ark." The adventurous plant choices definitely deserved the Golden Palette Award.
I know many of you didn't get a chance to attend the show, so I've offered up a slide show to give you an idea of the creativity put into the gardens on the quarter-century birthday of the show.

SARASOTA, Fla. — Chances are, Connor Lade hasn't missed many U.S. men's national soccer games.
But never had the Morristown native and Red Bulls defender watched with as much familiarity as during Team USA's tough 2-1 loss to Honduras in the final round of the 2012 World Cup qualifier Feb. 6.
Lade, 22, spent about a month training with the team in California, learning from greats such as Clint Dempsy and head coach Jurgen Klinsmann before leaving Jan. 30 to eventually end up back in Sarasota for a second preseason camp.
And though Lade didn't make the final squad, the St. John's University graduate said he cherished the opportunity and hope to rejoin the team down the road.
"It was such an honor to be part of that group, to learn from every person," he said. "I just tried to be like a sponge and soak all of it up."Lade learned he'd been selected for the team just before Christmas. He was on his way home from Newark airport after a flight back from Spain, where he had been playing, when he checked his phone and saw the email.
He called it an "oh my God" moment. But then a bigger one came when he got a call from Klinsmann, who told him he was excited to have Lade on the team.
"That just blew it up even more," he said.
Darren D'Alconzo wasn't particularly shocked to hear the news. D'Alconzo met Lade when he was a lifeguard local pool. Lade was just 4 years old. Eventually, D'Alconzo would coach Lade's freshman team at Morristown High School as well as serve as an assistant varsity coach during Lade's junior and senior years.
Lade simply fulfilled his potential, D'Alconzo said. And that's despite being just 5-foot-5.
"When he was in high school, there were always questions. People would say he's too small. They still say that," the longtime friend said. "But he plays about a foot taller than he actually is. To see him invited is unbelievable. It made all of his friends proud. It made everybody proud."
D'Alconzo said if anybody dropped from the final squad could end up making the team eventually, it's Lade.
"If anyone will do anything they can to make it happen, it will be Connor," he said. "If he got tips or suggestions from Jurgen that will get him back there, I'm sure he'll do everything in his power to make it happen."
That was actually the best part of the experience, Lade said.
The coaching staff gave players invaluable one-on-one time, discussing their strengths and weaknesses, according to the defender.
The point they impressed upon him most? Don't get comfortable. Lade had a strong rookie season in 2012, starting 22 of 26 regular-season games and two playoff matches.
"They said they tracked me all year with the Red Bulls and challenged me to have an even better second year," Lade said. "Sometimes, coming off a good year, you can get complacent. I want to strive to become a better player."
That's what was running through his head while watching from the stands as Team USA notched a scoreless draw against Canada in Houston on Jan. 29, Lade said.
And it's what's going to fuel him to return to the national squad, he said.
"Getting in there, meeting all the guys — that was great," Lade said. "But then you realize you're there for a job and you have to make the most of it and work your butt off every day to leave a good first impression."

My 4 year old WILL NOT POTTY
I have a 4 year old who refuses to potty. Every morning I go in the bathroom and read to him, play with his super hero toys sing songs and NOTHING. He is holding it now. His teachers at school say he is ready. I have heard do not pressure him but he is getting too old. I don't know what to do. Please help.
Maybe try just putting him in underwear. Tell him in "7 days you will start wearing underwear and will be using the potty each day because you can't pee and poop in underwear". Make a count down Chart. Read a "potty book" every day ( we loved Once Upon a Potty) each day leading up to the big day. Go pick out underwear together, talk about his big day each day leading up to it and get some super fun rewards to encourage him. Plan it so you begin with him on the weekend and can work with him for 2 days before he goes to school. We had a "potty party" for each of my boys their first day of full pottying. They knew it was coming on their special day and I made a cake, had balloons and we did a potty dance! There was no going back after that....Good luck!
Oh...do you have a potty seat for him? We used these and they were nice...we also added a foot stool (child one) so he could put his feet on it for support.
He may just be stubborn and refusing because he feels pressured. Give it a few days of not pressuring him - you never know, it might make all the difference.
Good luck!
I am not sure what to tell you, both my girls went on the potty at age 3

I've read many times one needs to identify their playing style. I think I know what that means but I am unsure on how to go about. Please help. Thanks
I'm of the view that those of us below about 2200 OTB or so don't have a style - we're rated where we are because of significant gaps in our abilities and knowledge.
We might be more comfortable in open positions or in closed positions or engaging in piece play or whatever, but that comfort level isn't about style so much as it is about where are knowledge gaps are smallest.
To have a "style" you have to have sufficient knowledge and experience where you can approach a game from multiple tacts -- choosing to play positionally, or tactically, or goign for complications or whatever -- and your choice is guided not by your limitations but by your conscious decision to engage in that type of play because that most closely aligns to how you think about chess.
Just my humble patzer opinion anyway.
I've identified my style years ago: Dubious
Although "eclectic" sounds good. I think "no style" is more accurate for me. What style exists is defined by what I don't know.
The styles of chess playing have sometimes been described as attacking (throw everything at the king with initiative), calculating (calculate every move and variation and work very hard at the board to find the best move every time), defensive (block and cramp your game), dynamic (aggressive and tactical with enterprising openings), intuitive (guessing but moving quickly and confidently), logical (stereotype moves that are solid and not too unorthodox), positional (more versatile openings and rely on general chess principles), practical (do everything possible to win and not always find the best moves, but more practical moves), prophlactic, tactical (sacrifice when you can; rely on combinations), technical (play the same openings repeatedly), tricky (playing for cheapos and making moves to confuse the opponent; plays unorthodox openings), and universal (good at every phase of chess).
I fall in the tricky, cheopo style.
I think that we sub-2200 players do adopt styles by preferring open or closed games and tactical vs. positional play. Perhaps our games look "confused" to those who play at the Master level, but I think we can describe our play in terms of style.
I don't doubt that we can describe our games in terms of style - but I would postulate that this is not an appropriate description because we aren't perfectly capable of handling most positions using multiple styles, rather we are handling it in the only way we know how based on the weaknesses in our game.
Grandma Moses had a style. My 10 year old doesn't. Their paintings still look almost identical.
I disagree with kingpatzer. A jazz guitar player has a style, for instance traditional jazz, regardless of whether he can play other styles such as classical, metal or blues rock or not.
How is the word style useful in the context of chess playing? It is used to describe preferred mode of playing and approach to the game, and how the games of a certain player usually plays out. If all I know is how to attack and try to create tactical complications for my opponent, I have an attacking style. The reason why I have this style may be that it is the only way I can play, but that really doesn't matter.
All players have weaknesses in their playing, and it seems probable to me that even the best grandmasters have different strengths and weakness. So why this arbitrary lower limit at 2200?
What is the practical use of discriminating between "described in terms of style" and "true style"?
Considering the amount of music theory and rhythmic techniques one must master to be even a moderately compitent jazz guitarist, it is unlikely that they aren't able to play another style of music if they would choose to do so.
But here, the word "style" is really the wrong word. "Genre" is a more apt term. There are styles of jazz, but jazz is different from rock in very fundamental ways.
As a guitarist myself (and a better guitarist than chess player) I know that I can play something straight or I can choose to swing it. And which way I choose to play it is a choice. I am functioning as a musician in making that choice.
I think though that it misses the point. That's not a style at that point, though the word might be used. It's not a style because you're not making a stylistic choice. You're making no choice at all.
To go back to your musical example: it's not the case that you're choosing to voice a chord a certain way but rather it's a limitation of knowing only one voicing for the chord to begin with.
In my mind that seems to be around the point where players are able to successfully making stylistic choices. Yes, it's an arbitrary number. Ignore the number, the point is, I still think, valid.
The point being that one has a style when one is able to consistently make stylistic choices about how to handle chess positions. If one isn't able to cosnsistently make stylistic choices but rather is only able to respond in a limited way because of weaknesses in one's game, then it is improper to talk about having a style.
To take teh example of my 10 year old's painting. If I tell you that the painting is a barnyard scene in the style of Grandma Moses' painting "Thunderstorm" then I've effectively described to you the painting in a way that you can probably guess quite a bit about how it looks. However, to say that my daughter's style of painting is American Folk Art would be rather an insult to the school of painters who make up the genre. But more importantly, it isn't true. She's not making conscious decissions to express cultural identity through the presentation of shared symbols using community aesthetics. She's just painting the way all 10 year olds paint.

Stop the madness — the Black Friday madness. It's out of control as incidents at stores around the country, including the Walmart in Bay City, show.
In fact, it's been out of control for several years, which makes it all the more surprising that it continues.
Apparently, there is nothing like a sweet deal on a flat-screen television or a laptop computer or any other hot item to bring out the worst in people.
They are willing to trample toddlers, the frail and the elderly, and step over the fallen in their quest.
At the Walmart in Kochville, a woman was knocked over.
At a west Michigan Walmart, a teenage girl was knocked down and stepped on several times during a rush on the electronics department. She suffered minor injuries.
At a Target store in West Virginia, after a 61-year-old man collapsed, some shoppers stepped over him to get their deals. The man, who had a prior heart condition, later died.
Locally, shoving matches ensued over some items and a store door reportedly was broken by the eager hordes waiting to enter.
It's ridiculous. It's shameful. And it needs to be reined in before next year. If people can't control themselves and act civilized, which in some cases clearly they cannot, it's up to the stores to ensure order.
If stores are going to offer these almost-too-good-to-be-true savings, they need to do a better job of controlling the chaos and ensuring the safety of those who show up, in some cases camping outside their doors for days in advance.
Those who are determined to venture out shouldn't have to worry they are risking life or limb to do so.
We have sympathy for the store employees, who have to be there. The sales are starting earlier than ever. Those Black Friday sales now start on Thursday in some cases.
What happened to a relaxing Thanksgiving day spent at home with loved ones?
People complain every year about the commercialism of Christmas and the way retailers rush the holidays, decking the halls in green and red in some cases even before Halloween. Then they buy into it wholeheartedly to score a deal or get that hot, overhyped toy that they think their children absolutely must have to be happy.
We call bah-humbug on that.
For that matter, preparing for Black Friday has become the new Thanksgiving tradition for some folks.
In Saginaw Township, for instance, George Niles set up his tent outside the Best Buy on Bay Road on Monday — four days before the sale began. He's been shopping the Black Friday sales for five years, he said.
He's not alone. Lots of folks pitched tents and braved the weather to be among the first through the doors once stores opened.
Niles said his wife would bring him Thanksgiving dinner and, that thanks to a generator, he would be able to watch the Detroit Lions' football game.
We'll take our pumpkin pie at home, thank you. But to each his own.
Still, the pushing and shoving and worse needs to end. Remember, Christmas is supposed to be a holiday about peace on Earth and good will toward men.
Unfortunately, some customers will always behave badly. They know no shame.
So, it's up to retailers to step up the security and have a game plan in place for getting shoppers in and out of their stores in as orderly a fashion as possible next year.
The madness is a tradition that must not be allowed continue.

The owner of R.J. Mini Mart gas station keeps a golf club behind the cash register for protection but wasn't sure if he would ever use it until he reflexively grabbed it Sunday night.
He said he was closing the Bethlehem gas station's market for the night when the two men entered. At 10:50 p.m. they attempted to rob the store at 418 E. Fourth St., police said.
One of the two masked men reportedly showed a handgun, police said. Bethlehem police Chief Jason Schiffer said the men fled the gas station after the owner pulled out the club.
"It was just an unplanned reaction," said the owner, who also goes by the name R.J. He declined to give his full name, including his last name.
The owner said he was unsure if he would use the club — an iron — if he were robbed again. He had it behind the cash register today. He said he has never been robbed before but at least one of his employees had.Schiffer said police are investigating whether the Sunday night attempt is connected to an armed robbery at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Petro Plus, 824 W. Broad St. That incident also involved two men, wearing black hoodies, who fled in a white Honda Civic with steel wheels. They were headed west on Union Boulevard, police say.
Authorities say the two robbers made off with an undisclosed amount of cash during that holdup and showed a handgun.
"We are looking into the possibility of these crimes being linked," Schiffer said. "Although not certain, the descriptions of the two males are similar."
The first man in the R.J. Mini Mart attempted robbery was described as white, about 5 feet, 9 inches tall and in his early 20s. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black mask. The second man, of unknown race, was described as wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black mask. He was slightly shorter than the first man, the victim told police.
Bethlehem police urge anyone with information about either robbery to contact authorities at 610-865-7187.

For the first time all season, Kyle Wiltjer was not in the starting lineup for the Kentucky Wildcats. So, how did he respond? He not only responded with a double-double (23 points, 12 rebounds), but he broke out of his recent shooting slump in style.
In a light week, former South Medford star E.J. Singler also made some significant contributions to help lift the Oregon Ducks to 9-1 on the season after the Ducks beat the Nebraska Cornhuskers at Matt Court on Saturday, 60-38. Michael Harthun, another South Medford product, followed suit with his former teammate and did his part for the Portland State Vikings in an ongoing string of solid scoring performances against two in-state 'rivals' in the Oregon State Beavers and the George Fox Bruins. Former Wilsonville star Seth Gearhart registered his collegiate career-high in rebounds (7) for the Rice Owls.
Here's a glance at how a few former Oregon high school basketball players performed in the college ranks over the past week:
Kyle Wiltjer, Kentucky Wildcats (Jesuit)
Saturday, Dec. 15: Kentucky 88, Lipscomb 50 - 23 points, 12 rebounds, 2 assists
• Tom Hurley of The Kentucky Kernel quoted Wiltjer saying the following about his strong rebound showing (12 total) against Lipscomb as well as on how this win was helped by 'Camp Cal':
"I kind of just went into the game having a mentality (of) I just wanted to get some rebounds and kind of mix it up ... It shows how important extra work is."• Calipari, though, while happy with Wiltjer's 12 rebounds, elaborated more generally on how the team team as a whole reacted to 'Camp Cal.' Eric Lindsey of CoachCal.com has the quote:
"I thought I'd see more of a change," Calipari said. "I saw a little change. We just went five days and I saw a little change, so if I see a little change in this next week, from that point on, folks, we're not winning many. That's a fact."• Keith Taylor of The Winchester Sun writes about Wiltjer regaining "his shooting stroke." He quotes Wiltjer explaining what the difference was against Lipscomb:
"They really didn't close on me as hard, I don't think," he said. "The shots were open and all week in practice, we knew they were going to be in a zone. I just had to be ready to shoot. It was a confidence boost to see some shots go in."• Watch Wiltjer talk about his double-double and the win.
• For Bleacher Report, Bobby Reagan writes about "why Kyle Wiltjer needs to play even when he's ice cold":
When Wiltjer is on the court, opposing defenses are forced to respect his ability to step back and shoot. With his man being more hesitant to help off of Wiltjer, it leaves an open lane for slashers like Archie Goodwin, Ryan Harrow and Alex Poythress to get to the rim.E.J. Singler, Oregon Ducks (South Medford)
It also makes Calipari's dribble drive motion offense more fluid.
Saturday, Dec. 15: Oregon 60, Nebraska 38 - 13 points, 4 rebounds, 1 assist
• After Oregon started out 0-for-11 from behind the arc, Bob Clark of The Register-Guard points out it was Singler who ended the drought:
As it was, Oregon missed its first 11 three-pointers until E.J. Singler, who added 13 points, hit one with a little over seven minutes left after Nebraska had pulled within 42-30.• FOXSports.com has highlights from Oregon's 60-38 win over Nebraska, which include a half-court lob from Dominic Artis to Singler for the lay-in.
"The crowd was wondering if we were going to hit one, our guys were wondering if we were going to hit one," head coach Dana Altman said.
Oregon ended up 2-of-13 on threes when Singler hit another with three minutes left, leaving the Ducks with a season-low for threes and accuracy (15.4 percent).
Michael Harthun, Portland State Vikings (South Medford)
Wednesday, Dec. 12: Oregon State 79, Portland State 74 - 11 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist
Saturday, Dec. 15: Portland State 85, George Fox 74 - 16 points, 2 assists, 1 rebound
• Harthun is averaging 11 points a game. He's also logged the most minutes for Portland State at 29.7 per game. The Vikings are 2-5 on the season.
Stephen Madison, Idaho Vandals (Jefferson)
Saturday, Dec. 15: Idaho 91, Walla Walla 47 - 14 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists
• Madison continues to be Idaho's leading scorer at 16.3 points per game. He's shooting 46.3 percent from the field. The Vandals are 4-5 on the season.
Seth Gearhart, Rice Owls (Wilsonville)
Wednesday, Dec. 12: Long Island 97, Rice 70 - 2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal
Saturday, Dec. 15: Hartford 58, Rice 51 - 4 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists
• Gearhart tallied a career-high seven rebounds in Rice's 58-57 loss to Hartford. He is third on his team in minutes with 29.1 per game and has the best free-throw percentage on the team at 85.7 percent. The Owls are 2-7 on the season.
Do you know of a former Oregon high school basketball player making noise at the college level? Let me know and I'll do what I can to give them a shout out.
