Softball Overcomes Doubleheader Loss With Resounding Win At UIC
By Justin Grones (@JustinGrones)
CHICAGO, Ill. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay softball team improved to 8-16 overall and 2-4 in Horizon League play after closing a three-game series at UIC with a 9-1 thumping of the Flames. Thursday's win snapped a four-game losing streak while freshman Brian Cavin (Elk Grove Village, Ill.) picked up her third win of the season.
Game 1: UIC 9, Green Bay 1 (Five Innings)
On a chilly day in the Windy City the reigning Horizon League Pitcher of the Week Devin Miller had a career day on the mound, throwing a no-hitter for UIC while pitching all five innings.
Green Bay started off strong as junior Stacey Butts (Greenfield, Wis.) drew a walk with one out in the top of the first inning. Freshman Marissa Michalkiewicz (Appleton, Wis.) followed her by reaching on a fielder's choice, but both runners reached safely. Butts and Michalkiewicz stole third and second, respectively, before Butts later scored on a wild pitch.
The Flames loaded the bases with nobody out in the home half of the first before a single to center scored two runs. UIC added two more runs with the help of a single up the middle and later a sacrifice fly to right field.
UIC tacked on another run to make it 5-1 with an RBI double, and added four more runs to make it 9-1 before sophomore pitcher Lauren Danner (Kaukauna, Wis.) came in and retired two straight batters to end the inning.
The Phoenix was unable to muster any offense for the remainder of the game, sealing the five-inning loss and the no-hitter for UIC's Miller.
UIC strung together 12 hits but had three errors, while the Phoenix had just one error on the afternoon. Miller received the win with five innings of work and six strikeouts, a walk and an earned run. Green Bay senior Allison Goecks (Beloit, Wis.) received the loss after 1 1/3 innings of work and 10 hits, nine earned runs, two walks and a strikeout. Danner pitched 2 2/3 innings of relief and allowed just two hits and a walk.
Game 2: UIC 6, Green Bay 1
Green Bay again faced Miller on the mound in game two, but the Phoenix strung together four hits and added a run in the seventh inning.
The Flames jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning after an error and later a wild pitch. The home team tacked on four more runs in the bottom of the third to make it 6-0 after another infield error and a single up the middle.
In the top of the seventh, the Phoenix loaded the bases with nobody out after an error, a fielder's choice and a walk. Sophomore Tia Collins (Orfordville, Wis.) kept the bases full afte reaching on a fielder's choice, but junior Miranda Reinke (Milwaukee, Wis.) was tagged out at home for the first out. Senior Jess Hrncar (Bristol, Wis.) stepped up to the plate next and grounded out to the shortstop, but scored fellow senor Danielle Peerenboom (Appleton, Wis.) to cut the deficit to 6-1. Green Bay was unable to bring anyone else across the plate, resulting in the 6-1 defeat.
Miller (10-11) again received the win for the Flames after a complete game with four hits, an earned run, three walks and six strikeouts. Junior Ashley Nannemann (Burlington, Wis.) received the loss (1-4) after allowing nine hits, six runs with five earned and a walk. She also struck out three during her six innings of work.
Hrncar led the way with a 2-4 effort and an RBI at the plate, while freshman Kelli Hutchinson (Milwaukee, Wis.) and Collins each went 1-3.
Game 3: Green Bay 9, UIC 1 (5 Innings)
With two down and the bases loaded in the top of the first, an RBI single from Hutchinson scored Hrncar to give the visiting team a 1-0 lead before Hrncar used an RBI single of her own in the second to score senior Paige Newtols (Green Bay, Wis.).
UIC replied with an RBI single of its own in the home half of the second, but it would be the last time the home team would cross home plate in the contest.
Freshman Alyssa Johnson (Elmhurst, Ill.) led off the fourth with a solo homer to push the lead to 3-1. With two outs, Green Bay scored four more runs to push its lead to 7-1. Michalkiewicz scored after Hutchinson reached on an error before Peerenboom hit a three-RBI double, giving her 89 RBI for her career—just 11 away from the program record of 100 set last year by former standout Alli Rivera.
Michalkiewicz hit her ninth double of the season in the fifth inning to score Stacey Butts, moving into a tie for the eigth-most doubles in a season in team history. Reinke added a two-out RBI single to bring Michalkiewicz home, sealing the 9-1 victory.
Cavin (3-5) picked up the win with seven hits, one earned run, two walks and two strikeouts across five innings of work. UIC's Devin Miller took the loss after allowing six hits and five runs with four earned in 3 2/3 innings.
Michalkiewicz and Stacey Butts each went 2-4, while Peerenboom was 1-3 with three RBI. Hrncar, Reinke and Johnson each went 1-3 with a run scored and an RBI while Hutchinson finished 1-4 with a run and two RBI.
Green Bay's three-game series against Cleveland State originally slated for this weekend has been postponded due to snow still on Ben Garot Field, but the Phoenix will return to action next week for a doubleheader at Western Illinois on April 10.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by TaS, Oct 20, 2006.
Low is obviously alot smarter than I am. lol.
frustration is different than hatred. the thing is he was owed a chance. i see you are fooled by the company line. there is nothing to earn on the pistons. look at delfino, maxiell, amir this year. those guys are struggling to get minutes even though it came down from management to play the young guys. but aren't you glad we made him earn it?? he's shutting down the paint in orlando while we struggle to keep some guy named armstrong out of ours. hadn't scored an nba point until he played the pistons. some people take up for the little guy, some people just kick him because everyone else is kicking him. i made my own opinion about darko instead of downing him because it was the in thing to do. i made my own opinion about whether he deserved playing time instead of just repeating the company line of "earn" it. i'm a piston fan and i don't want us to keep repeating the mistakes we made with darko. so far this season we haven't learned about playing our youth. this year will have another exodus of young talent. and some of you will still recite the company line of "earn" it as we bring in more aging vets and continue to fall out of the elite teams of the nba.
i am obviously smarter than you too. when it comes to darko at least.
Really? I had no idea you were a Bo Outlaw fan.
I assume you are speaking figuratively, since the little guy here is 7'1", 290 lbs.
Actually you are not. One good game does not justify your claim. In fact if we judge it purely based on stats, Ben has had more successful/strong games in a Chicago uniform than Darko has had in an Orlando uni. So take that how you will. Personally I still think Darko will be nothing but an average serviceable player. However, If Darko does end up becoming an all-star (which I still seriously doubt by the way) it has nothing to do with your logic because it has always been flawed. I will never be impressed by your jump to giving praise without any substantial evidence. right back at ya!
You're wrong there. Frustration is the path to the Darko Side. Frustration leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.
Here is an interesting stat: So far this year, 82% of Darko's FG attempts have been inside. That's right, just 18% jumpers. For comparison, JMax shoots 44% jumpers. Nazr- 39% Sheed- 82% Combined with the shot blocking, Darko is contradicting his rep as a finnesse player and is providing an inside pressence on offense and defense for the Magic. And just think, Dwight Howard takes 84% of his shots from inside. That is a true twin tower type situation going on there. I thought Sheed was going to go inside more this year with Ben gone? Last year Sheed shot 84% J's. Is a 2% increase from the paint all he can give???
Update through 20 games. Per 40 minute stats for Darko compared to benchmarks and % diff: Points- 14.26/16.00/-11% Failing Rebs- 9.07/12.00/-24% Failing Asst- 1.85/1.75/+6% Passing Blck- 3.70/2.25/+64% Passing Stls- 1.11/0.75/+48% Passing It looks like he will be short on rebounds and he will be long on blocks and steals. The stats that are still in play are Points and Assists. Assists will show more volitility because they are a relatively rare occurance compared to points. Next update will be at the 40 game mark.
Are you kidding me? I nearly have an aneurism just watching Flip coach...Do you really think I could handle a full-time ongoing debate with bballjay?
maybe not by yourself, but perhaps you and motown could go tag-team wrestling style. but i suppose it doesn't matter how many people you have helping when you're banging your head against a brick wall...
debating with me is mentally stimulating. the debate will be ended for a lot of people tonight. some first hand darko watching will make a lot of converts. darko will have a hof career. he will have more dpoy's than ben. he will have more rings than ben. he will have more points than ben. he will have more class than ben.
So is being tazered.... I want none of either.
someone save this post so in 12 years from now we can cross all these off the list. lol.
Will someone please start a fund to ship yuckface Darko back to Europe so he can be on the serbian forum????!
I'd rather someone give bball Jay some glasses so he can watch Darko play, realize the truth, and never post again.
i do watch darko play. i watch darko more than anyone besides the people in florida and the league passers. some of you like to make posts with only looking at box scores and watching 1 game out 20. do more research and then it will be you realizing the truth.
Geezus. You shouldn't have admitted that. Now you look that much worse.
I probably do the most Darko debating and I live in Tampa, FL, catch the games locally and have NBA League Pass. Go figure. In my opinion, Hack you have always been accurate in your takes on Darko.
Anyone from the DHOF care to expound on Darko's performance tonight? Or are we waiting for him to at least score 10 pts so we can marvel at what his 48 min stat performance would be like? lol.
Separate names with a comma.

Phillies: Sellers AND buyers?
The expectation in the industry is that the Philadelphia Phillies will be massive sellers before Tuesday's non-waiver deadline at 4 p.m. ET. But that is not entirely accurate.
Yes, the Phillies likely will move their potential free agents – center fielder Shane Victorino, left fielder Juan Pierre and right-hander Joe Blanton – and entertain offers for right fielder Hunter Pence and, according to reports on Monday, left-hander Cliff Lee.
But club officials also are exploring deals that will add to the Phillies' core – hence, the team's interest in San Diego Padres third baseman Chase Headley and Cleveland Indians right fielder Shin-Soo Choo, according to major-league sources.
The Phillies' farm system is thinner than it once was due to their numerous trades for veterans in recent years. But the team could use the prospects it collects in some of its deals and spin them for a player such as Headley or Choo.
Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. is almost always aggressive at the non-waiver deadline, and this year figures to be no different. But this time, he could be going in two directions at once.

text: This was a good loss, if there is such a thing. A young team needs to lose games like this to grow. They'll remember this game for a long time I'm sure and this is how you grow as a team. The best part about this game was that we finally got a chance to see what our future might look like with all the kiddos getting substantial minutes. Daye was the star of the day without a doubt, and hopefully he can carry it forward and make me eat some humble pie as I've been proclaiming him to be worthless recently. The funny thing is, the loss of Prince, Gordon and CV didn't make that much of a difference. Actually, it even looked like addition by subtraction last night. So we have over $25M in players that don't bring much to the table. You could make the case for Gordon as if he was in the game instead of Wilkins in the end, it might've spaced the floor better.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Congrats on the build-it does look and sound good!
From a fellow 410 sprint racer, can I give you some advice that you've probably already heard?
First, with a injected motor on alcohol, don't let it sit there and idle cold with the fuel valve on. You are just washing the cylinders with fuel and it will never warm up. You need to close the shut off valve till rpms start climbing and let it run lean for a few minutes and warm up any time you are just idling the engine. Noticed your temp gauge hadn't moved yet-even with some playing around in the yard. Being put under a load when cold is one of the hardest things on sprint car engines. Getting it up to temp before shutting off will also help to evaporate the excess fuel out of the oil.
Second, please stop being stupid and starting the car without even having your seatbelts on. I do start mine without my helmet sometimes, but I don't normally go horsing around either. Without the belts is a big no-no! Take it from someone who has had a throttle stick when starting the car and making a run down a deserted road. It scares the crap out of you! By the time you correct from almost going in a ditch from instinctively hitting the brakes (with no RF brake) and think to turn off the switch, you travel a long ways!
Best of luck with your racing!

San Francisco, Calif., October 02, 2012 — Independent station owner Griffin Communications, LLC is putting the finishing touches on a brand new, all HD broadcast facility in Tulsa, Okla.—as the home of News On 6, KOTV, the local CBS affiliate and The Tulsa CW, KQCW, the local CW affiliate—and equipping it with several high-definition (HD) cameras, a new HD video production switcher and several of the latest generation of HD media servers from Grass Valley®. Griffin Communications has been a long-time user of Grass Valley solutions in its existing facility, from which it began broadcasting in 1949.
The Grass Valley multiformat production equipment will help News On 6 streamline its production operations by enabling the file-based recording of incoming feeds, clip management, and playout of a variety of network-supplied and locally produced programming.
The new broadcast facility, which was built from the ground up beginning in October 2011, is set to be fully operational in January, 2013; originating News On 6 and Tulsa CW, plus two digital subchannels ("News on 6 Now", and "ThisTV"). Master Control and the new Grass Valley servers will begin operations in the new building December 2012.
"News On 6 will now have much more space for its staff and equipment and will be able to do so much more with the Grass Valley technologies being installed," said Gerald Weaver, News On 6 Chief Engineer. "Grass Valley has always offered a dependable product that we have come to rely on and we use it to its fullest extent. The Kayenne switcher in particular, in our opinion, is the finest on the market today and is clearly the best product for our purposes, which is to produce a wide variety of program types, including the 39.5 hours of local news we produce each week."
News On 6 has used Grass Valley production switchers for many years—starting with a Grass Valley 300 and most recently moving on to a Kalypso® switcher—due to the technology's reliability and cost-effective performance. For the new facility, the station has added a new Grass Valley Kayenne® Video Production Center switcher. The switcher will handle the signals from four Grass Valley LDK 4000 Elite HD cameras, currently in use in the station's existing news studio.
News On 6 has also added two next-generation K2 Summit® 3G server frames and several terabytes of storage capacity to its existing complement of Grass Valley K2 Summit servers that they have been using for several years. The new K2 Summit 3G servers will be used in tandem with a Harris automation system to handle incoming and outgoing programming and news feeds as digital files.
"The best thing I can say about Grass Valley's servers is that we never have to think about them, that's how reliable they are," added Weaver. "We set them up and they work exactly as planned."

Office Depot this week disclosed that board member Neil Austrian will receive a $200,000 monthly salary and 400,000 in stock options at an exercise price of $4.43 in exchange for his service as interim CEO following the departure last week of former chairman and CEO Steve Odland. Austrian is a long time Office Depot board member whom the company has called upon previously to fill the void created when the company's top executive resigned and a replacement was not readily available.
In October 2004, Austrian was named interim CEO following the resignation of former chairman and CEO Bruce Nelson, which resulted in a five month search resulting in the hiring of Odland. Back then, Austrian received a monthly salary of $170,000, but was guaranteed a minimum of six months pay in addition to a $1 million restricted stock award based on the value of the company's share price at the time. Austrian was also granted a $1,500 car allowance, a furnished residence and the use of a corporate jet so he could commute between his other homes and Office Depot's headquarters.

Arsène Wenger has no complaints about the fitness levels of referees in the Premier League but he would like match officials to 'keep their distance' from players and managers.
The physical condition of referees has been on the agenda since Alan Wiley was criticised by Sir Alex Ferguson following Manchester United's 2-2 draw with Sunderland a fortnight ago.
The Scot suggested that Wiley was not fit enough to keep up with the game at Old Trafford and has since apologised for his remarks. According to Wenger, fitness is not a problem area for referees but their tendency to be 'friendly' with some players and managers is a cause for concern.
"I believe that physically compared to ten years ago they are fitter," said the Frenchman. "Fitness-wise there is no problem in England with the referees.
"I have no relationship with the referee. I never speak to any referee. I believe what was shocking in that [Man United v Sunderland] game was not only what happened with Ferguson and the fourth official. I believe that the referees have to keep their distance with the players as well.
"Personally I respect the referees and I think the referees have to keep their distances from the managers and the players."
Wenger was asked if he backed calls for Ferguson to be punished for his attack on Wiley. The Arsenal manager refused to be drawn on the matter.
"I believe he apologised and it's not down to me to say what the punishment should be. It is not my problem basically," said Wenger.
"You know we are sometimes too excessive after the games. What the punishment should be is not my problem. What we want is for everybody to be treated exactly the same so there is only one rule in the Premier League.
"When the managers do not respect the code of conduct, this rule has to be applied to everybody and I don't think even Ferguson would want to be treated differently."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|yea it is a big project. something ive always wanted to do. figure with some friends and help it may take me a long time but i will get it together. frame is shot. rusted apart really. pulling it onto rollback was difficult for frame breaking. bottom side of frame has tons of rust on it. frame really isnt salvageable. so that why im starting with frame and going from there
Wow, new to fabricating? You have bitten off a HUGE project. The body mounts are the easiest part. You would place the body into position and build the mount up to the body, that simple. Trying to make the mount using measurements off the old frame "could" be done but not knowing exactly where the "new" frame may hit under the body and that sort of thing there is no way I would try that.
Honestly, this is a HUGE job which will require a LOT of fabrication and cutting up the inner fenders and rad support. This is before you do things like mounting bumpers which are another project.
It's like the old engine swap lingo, people will ask about the mounts, making the mounts as if THAT is all that is needed for an engine swap, the mounts are the easiest part. Often the complication comes in the firewall clearance, rad location, rad outlet location, steering box clearance, steering column, exhaust/headers, there are a PILE of stuff that may need attention for a "simple" engine swap. Same is true changing a frame.
Tell me, what is wrong with the old frame? There are PILES of kits available to upgrade that frame that require no fabrication, or little fab so you can get your feet wet. And remember, that frame you have under that car, it's the same as a 53-62 Corvette, it has the exact same suspension (rear springs are different is all) as the Corvette, so it isn't "that" bad.
By the way I am looking to buy one of those front crossemembers to use in my truck if you want to sell it. Isn't that funny, I am going to upgrade my 48 Chevy pickup with the suspension from a car like yours.
custom cab mounts ?
i am about to do a custom s10 frame under my 50 chevy coupe. any ideas or plans or pics or any help on making a cab mount? looking for a simple idea as to im new to the whole custom fabricating

Canisius senior guard Billy Baron scored a career-high 38 points, including the game-winning 3-pointer as the final horn sounded in double-overtime, to help lift Canisius to a 94-91 double-overtime win over Rider Friday night in the Koessler Athletic Center. Baron's 38 points are the second most for a Canisius player in Koessler Athletic Center history as the East Greenwich, R.I., native scored or assisted on 23 of the Griffs' final 25 points in regulation and had a hand in 40 of the team's final 50 points in regulation and the overtime periods.
Baron scored his 38 points after going 11-for-19 from the field, 4-for-10 from 3-point land and 12-for-13 from the free throw line, while adding seven rebounds and seven assists against one turnover in 48 minutes of action. Fellow senior Jordan Heath scored 17 points in the win for the Blue and Gold and was credited with nine blocks, which set a new school record. Freshman Zach Lewis scored 12 points in his first career start and redshirt freshman Phil Valenti came off the bench to post 12 points and nine rebounds in a career-high 34 minutes. For the game, Canisius shot 54.7 percent from the field and 40 percent from 3-point land, highlighted by the fact that the team shot 72.7 percent from the field and 50 percent from long-range in the overtime sessions.
"That was a real marathon out there tonight," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "Down the stretch, our guys played to win. They went to the bucket and worked hard at the defensive end. Give Rider a lot of credit. That's a good team and they gave us all we could handle. We just showed tremendous resiliency and kept bouncing back."
In a game that featured 13 lead changes and 14 ties, Rider led Canisius (10-6, 4-1 MAAC) by nine at 53-44 with 10:40 left to play in regulation time. Canisius was able to whittle the Broncs' (7-7. 3-2 MAAC) lead to 60-58 with 5:44 left in the second half on the power of a 14-7 run that featured six points from Baron and a pair of made 3-pointers by Lewis. Baron gave Canisius a 61-60 lead with 5:37 left on a made 3-pointer by Baron, but Rider answered moments later with a tip-in by reserve forward Shawn Valentine to take a 62-61 lead. The game went back and forth over the last 3:30 of regulation time before Baron hit a jumper from the right wing with 47 seconds left to give the Blue and Gold a 69-66 lead. Rider forced the first overtime session after sophomore Zedric Sadler scored a traditional three-point play with 24 ticks left to push the game to overtime, the second overtime game of the season for both squads.
In the first overtime, Rider led by three points at 76-73 with 22 seconds left after Sadler hit a jumper from the top of the key, but Baron countered for the Griffs, scoring a traditional three-point play of his own with 11 seconds left to knot the game at 76-76 and force the game to a second overtime session.
Canisius jumped out to an early five-point lead in the second overtime period with a 3-pointer by Valenti and a dunk by Jordan Heath. Canisius led by five at 88-83 with 1:21 left in the second overtime, but Valentine made it a one-point game with just 22 seconds left to play after he hit a jumper and a free-throw to make the score 89-88. Baron hit a pair of free throws after being fouled on the ensuing inbounds pass and he made both, giving Canisius a three-point cushion at 91-88, but Rider guard Anthony Myles nailed a 3-pointer with 10 seconds left to play to knot the game back up at 91-91. Baron then took the inbounds pass and was able to knife through three Rider defenders to get the ball across the timeline to teammate Josiah Heath. Heath took the ball and flipped it to Baron, who pulled up in front of Canisius' bench and drained the game-winning 3-pointer, his second of the season as the final horn sounded. The win was Canisius' first double overtime win since Feb. 14, 1987 when the Griffs beat Niagara on the road, and it improved the team to 3-1 this season in games decided by five points or less.
Myles scored 30 points in the loss for Rider with Sadler adding 16 points and four assists. Khalil Thomas had 12 points off the bench for the Broncs, while Valetine was good for 11 points, six boards and three assists. For the game, Rider shot 49.2 percent from the field, 41.7 percent from 3-point land and 85.2 percent from the free-throw line. Canisius held a 31-26 advantage on the glass and the Griffs turned 13 Rider turnovers into 19 points on the night.
Canisius will close out its weekend homestand on Sunday, Jan. 12, when the team plays host to Monmouth. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m.
Game Notes: This was the 39th all-time meeting between Canisius and Rider, with the Broncs holding a 30-9 lead in the series… The Griffs and Broncs have now played a total of 13 games that have been decided by five points or less… Canisius improved to 81-43 all-time in overtime games and Friday's double-overtime game marked the 18th time in program history where the Griffs played in a multiple overtime contest… Baron is the first Canisius player to score 30 or more points at home since former Griff Greg Logins had 30 points against Iona Jan. 23, 2011… Only former Griff Craig Prosser has scored more points in a game in the Koessler Athletic Center while wearing a Canisius uniform – Prosser scored 39 points against Siena Feb. 3, 1976… Baron's seven assists in the win gives him five or more helpers in eight games this season and 29 times in his college career… Heath's nine blocks makes him the 12th Division I player this season to record nine or more blocked shots in a game… Heath is just the 10th player in school history to collect 90-plus career blocked shots (he now has 93 in 48 career games)… Five Griffs played a career-high in minutes on Friday… The win was number 419 for Canisius head coach Jim Baron. That ties him with his former boss at Notre Dame, Digger Phelps, who won 419 at the helm of the Fighting Irish from 1971-91.

Happy Music Monday! So last Wednesday, reader Emmorica made a very special plea to Scott. Emmorica asked for a Music Monday all about leaving the nest, for those who'll be staying behind. Emmorica, you might have made the very first request that Music Monday has ever seen. And what's a mix with no listeners? So please enjoy Scott's very special tribute to the Empty Nest. This one's for you, E.
Cat Stevens - Oh Very Young
Your child has their whole life ahead of them. They feel old, because from their point of view, they are! They're older then they've ever been! But you've been to some of the places they're going, and you know how young they truly are. Hey, you've done your best. Now it's their turn to make some mistakes, and get a few things right. You did it, and you did all right. Surely they'll do the same. Wonder what they'll be when they reach your age?
We've got four more inside, then it'll be your turn to help Emmorica out. See you all after the jump.
The hard part about leaving home is all the feelings it stirs up. On the one hand, it's a parent losing something that's been there for about two decades, and knowing most of their job is basically done. On the other hand, it's the start of something amazing, and there's still plenty of time to give advice.
Curtis Mayfield - Move On Up
What advice do you give to your child? That's easy. Do what you know is right, stick to your guns, and keep pushing to be better than you were yesterday. Take chances, do stuff, be brave, but don't do things that are too stupid. Curtis Mayfield's sweet sweet encouragement works well for a parent seeking advice. You can do it, kid. Don't let 'em drag you down.
The Who - Sally Simpson
I might not call it cautionary, but this story of a young girl learning the harsh reality of hero-worship is both sad and happy at the same time. Young Sally Simpson leaves home and chases down a daydream, only to have it all go wrong. Though she's not the main character of the record, in the end, she finds her way to her own good life in California, scars and all. Clearly it was because of good parenting.
The Beatles - She's Leaving Home
Sad? Of course. But more of a bittersweet sadness. This might be an end of childhood moment, but it's not goodbye forever. Next time you see your child, they'll be an adult, kind of. Just an adult who's hoping you'll give them money. Like us!
Rod Stewart - Forever Young
Although this is the kind of song teenagers might ask you to turn down, it's the kind of song most parents will ask you to turn up. Sappy? Sure. Goofy? Absolutely. Sweet and lovely? Sure is. Wherever your kid goes, whatever your kid does, they're still gonna be your kid. Naturally, you'd prefer them to graduate med school at the top of their class, but if they flip burgers for a living? You'll still love them that way too.
Emmorica, thanks for reading, and thanks for contacting us. If your nest is too quiet soon, you're always welcome hit up our Turntable.fm room and the regular Music Monday enjoyment. Also, let us just remind everybody: some images come from the corresponding Wikipedia page and are here under fair use.
Boston - "Foreplay/Long Time"
Peter, Paul, and Mary - "Leaving On A Jet Plane"
John Denver wrote this song, but PP&M's version was the first I heard back in the day.
Gah, you took "Forever Young"...in that case I'll have to add "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" by Baz Luhrmann, even though it's more of a graduation speech.
More lessons on both sides.
"Teach your Children", Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young
Hmmm, this is kind of tough. The songs I can think of always seemed to be more about other people's children growing up (not gross):
David Bowie, Because You're Young
Supertramp, School
(Although more people, if they think of this song at all, probably think of Tatum O'Neal and Kristy McNichol in a summer camp bet to lose their respective virginities.)
I'm still on the fence regarding You Belong to Me; it's clearly romantic, but the spirit of "it's okay that you're going away, have fun, but come back" seems appropriate.
Unrelated, but I was watching this video of David Bowie on the Dinah Shore show and really admiring his dancing last night, and thought "I am going to post this video on Music Monday no matter what the topic is." Also: unexpected if momentary Henry Winkler.
My favorite empty nest / coming of age song is Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin.
Love it. Thanks, Scott! My nest will be plenty full for the next long while, but 'tis the season for lots of friends going through these Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes. I smell a mixtape coming.
Resident Hippie checking in with Cat Stevens "Wild World"
Daddy said, son, you better see the world
I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to leave
But remember one thing don't lose your head
To a woman thatll spend your bread
The song that I mostly associate with "Empty Nesting" is actually a spoken word track that they play around graduation season on the radio. Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen) has an interesting wiki page, but it's full of good advice for would-be graduates going off to college for the first time.
Bruce Springsteen - "Independence Day"
Dixie Chicks - Wide Open Spaces.
Well, when you leave the nest, it's time to...
Happy New Adventures, Empty Nesters...and New Freshmen!
A song about watching your kids grow up. "Sunrise, Sunset" from "Fiddler on the Roof". Video is from the movie.
Good luck to all those who are leaving the "nest" to start college.
Something for the road trip:
To remind you that an empty nest can be its own fresh start:
RIP Eydie Gorme.
Also, I totally missed the "from the perspective of those staying behind" bit. So...
*Please be strong. Wave goodbye.*
Gets me every time.

VIDEO: Stingy Green Bay Defense Shutting Down Opponents
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Lockdown defense has always been a staple of the Green Bay women's basketball program, dating back to the early days under inaugural head coach Carol Hammerle. Forty years later the tradition is as strong as ever, as the 2012-13 version of the Phoenix (12-2, 2-0 Horizon League) led by Kevin Borseth currently ranks second among 343 NCAA Division I teams in scoring defense, giving up just 46.9 points per game.
"We're stingy," said Borseth, who is in the first year of his second stint at Green Bay. "The kids play hard. They play really hard and they help each other and they're in the right spot at the right time guarding the ball. I think (the success) is a culmination of the years of drilling that they've had. I think we're just reinforcing it now that this year has come around and they're doing a pretty good job with it."
Green Bay has won seven straight contests heading into the second week of its Horizon League schedule, a stretch in which the Phoenix has allowed just 40.0 points per game while holding its opponents to 29.1 percent shooting. Green Bay has held all seven opponents to 46 points or less during the streak, including three totals in the 30s.
To watch a video feature on Green Bay's recent defensive success, click here.
Last week the Phoenix shut down two of the league's top scorers in Detroit's Shareta Brown and Wright State's Kim Demmings, holding them to a combined 11 points in a pair of home victories. Brown, who entered the contest ranked second in the nation in scoring (26.0 points per game) managed just eight points on 2-of-4 shooting, while Demmings, the conference's Preseason Player of the Year, was held to a career-low three points on 1-of-13 shooting. Demmings, who was coming off a 35-point performance in the league opener at Milwaukee, had previously reached double-figures in 37 consecutive games.
The 62-31 win over Detroit on Jan. 8 represented the second-lowest point total surrendered in the last 29 seasons for Green Bay, and the lowest since holding Northern Arizona to 27 during the 2007-08 campaign. The Phoenix has held 10 of its 14 opponents this season under 50 points, and four under 40 points.
Aiding Green Bay's defensive success in 2012-13 has been the team's ability to create turnovers. The Phoenix, which ranks 10th in the country in turnover margin (+7.14), has forced at least 17 turnovers in every game this season. Senior Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) leads the Horizon League with 44 steals (3.1 per game), a total that includes a career-high seven in the win over Detroit.
The Phoenix will look to continue its defensive dominance this week as it opens a four-game Horizon League road trip at Cleveland State on Thursday at 6 p.m.

You spend a lot of time in the driver's seat of your car or truck.

The Universal Revolution Style Air-Bag Replacement Steering Wheel series from Grant is designed to give owners of modern vehicles equipped with airbags and convenience switches the increased luxury and sport of a replacement steering wheel.

Palo Alto, Calif. -- HP on Thursday announced the company's first mobile point-of-sale solution for retailers, intended to help them to deliver a more personalized shopping experience to their customers. The HP Retail Mobile Point-of-Sale Case attaches to the newly announced HP Slate 2 Tablet PC adding an integrated magnetic stripe reader (MSR) and a barcode scanner.
With the new HP solution, salespeople can complete customer transactions anywhere in the store, reducing long lines at fixed checkouts and boosting sales and productivity. Retailers also can use the HP Slate 2's integrated Wi-Fi or Bluetooth wireless technology to check product availability, find alternate colors and styles, track orders and email customer receipts. The 8.9-inch screen is ideal for employees wanting to share videos or inventory selections with their customers, HP added.
"Providing customers with memorable, differentiated shopping experiences is a key to building loyalty and driving repeat purchases," said Ray Carlin, general manager and VP, Retail Solutions, HP. "The HP Slate mobile POS solution achieves these goals by increasing the efficiency of the checkout process, engaging customers and offering better, more personalized services."
According to Greg Buzek, president, IHL Group, a leading research firm for the retail industry, the purchase of tablets for store employees is the biggest trend in retail since stores added Internet as retailers look for new ways to help associates engage customers at a deeper level in the store.
"An advantage of a Windows-based tablet, such as the HP Slate 2, is that it could provide a smoother integration with retailers' existing software infrastructure and applications, thus lowering their cost of adoption," Buzek said.
The HP Retail Mobile Point-of-Sale Case will be available in early December in the United States and Canada.

At 7 months shes is still mouthing\biting. I managed to get her to stop biting everyone else in my family when she wants to be petted by them but she bites me all day long.
Sounds like my 5 month old. Let me guess she doesny listen to commands either?
Sent from Petguide.com Free App
It sounds like your puppy is bored and under-exercised. Leashed walks aren't adequate exercise; is there a safe place you can take your dog to give her some real exercise? Long fetches, swimming, even just an off leash romp would do well to tire her out. I would also suggest enrolling in an obedience class, maybe even rally or nose work. Your dog needs to be mentally stimulated as well, and this will help her calm down. I would teach the puppy to be calm inside and that playing is for outside. You can look up threads on "sitting on the leash" to help teach this concept. Provide toys, chews, frozen kongs, etc inside. Tugs, fetch, chasing the water hose etc are for outside.
I also have a 7 month old GSD with smaller/older dogs (3yr old/8lb chihuahua/dachshund mix, 7yr old/30lb Australian shepherd mix, 7yr old/38lb lab mix) and a cat. When we brought Bear home at 12 weeks, he was leashed inside the house and boundaries were set. With training and consistency he needed the leash less and less...it's been several months since he's had one on inside. The other dogs were also expected to accept Bear - I am not doing crate/rotate nor would I leash a dog inside indefinitely. I would unleash your puppy inside, but expect her to be wild at first because she is not used to freedom. You may need to separate her and your other dogs at first. I would work on getting her to behave in the house without a leash before adding the distraction of other dogs. Then slowly introduce them one at a time, setting boundaries with all of the dogs. Keep redirecting your puppy away from the other dogs and teach him to ignore them. You want them to be neutral with each other.
It will take time and work to have them all coexist peacefully. 7 month old puppies are, well, annoying. Older smaller dogs don't generally appreciate their antics, so you have to manage the situation. I know that my puppy needs a good dose of exercise to behave, so we start the morning off with off leash exercise (swimming, fetch, just a good off leash walk on the trails, etc). All 4 dogs go together, and it's a good way to bond. Afterwards everyone can relax at home together. I don't expect all my dogs to love each other all the time, but I do expect to be able to enjoy them together. You may need to separate them some times (baby gates, crates). You need to provide the older dogs with a safe place away from the puppy, and make sure to still give them one-on-one attention too.
Good luck! It's a lot of work, but it's worth it.
|liferebooted - just wanted to let you know, I'm going through the same thing w/ my 7 month old male! I have no solutions for you - LOL, I need some myself. Just wanted you to know you are not alone. Maybe our dogs are not so "abnormal" after all eh? I'm taking mine to a new trainer too, so we shall see!
My advice would be... On the biting, say "ouch" followed by a 30 second time out, or a few seconds of turning around and letting no fun occur. My girl was a rescue and only 5 weeks when we got her.... So she hadn't learned not to bite. We started by letting her bite and only saying ouch when it really hurt (to teach her how hard was too hard) after she learned that we said ouch if her teeth even touched us. This worked well. She is 7 months now and doesn't mouth at all. I'm sorry you had such a bad training experience! Those are the people who give prong collars a bad name. I use both positive and negative. The clear communication works wonders. Negative is only used when she clearly disobeys a command she KNOWS backward and forward. Let me know if there are any specific behaviors you need help with and I'd love to give some specifics.

U can try walking her around your home with the leash on first for maybe 5 minutes, loosening the leash from time to time and then remove it when you feel she is calm enough.

I had this problem with Alice too. I tried everything i could find on the net to stop her play biting but it didn't work. So i consulted a local dog trainer n he asked me to pull her collar away from my skin while giving her a firm 'no' whenever she bites. Her biting did reduce n for the past few weeks she hasn't been biting at all. She does do it accidentally once in a while or if I accidentally pull on her fur while trying to stop her from running out of her kennel when the door's open (she is an escape artist, used to climb the fence to get out when she was a pup). The moment she realises what she bit me she grabs her chewy toy and runs off. As long as she doesn't break your skin you don't have to worry. About the running around it is because your dog is excited. It is like if you had spent a whole week cooped up in your house and finally you get the chance to go out, wouldn't you be excited? They have high energy levels so they tend to show their excitement in a much more energetic way.

I think letting her off leash more inside is your best bet. Just do your best to manage it...the problem will pass. She is not used to freedom, so when she gets it, she will freak out. Try only allowing her to be off leash in a room with a closed door first.
To stop the crazies, ignore her until she stops. Do not do anything at all, don't even look at her. It may take her awhile to catch on, but she will improve.
Hi guys, I still take her on a few 30 minute walks and even though she pants it doesn't really kill her energy. I take her out back now on the 16 foot leash and since it isn't really anywhere near long enough for a GSD I toss her ball against the part of the house without siding so that it bounces and she really has to chase it around this seems to really tire her out after 30 minutes of it, we do it a few times a day.
Instead of yelling at her when she bites me I've been praising her when she lets go\grabs what I offer her instead and it really seems to be working, she is mouthing much less already.
PS. Its strange having a dog who knows how to play fetch and bring the ball back to me without even having to train her to do so. Shes 7 months old and smarter than my 10-13 year old dogs of other breeds.

I really am making her sound terrible but she really is sweet most of the time, she just has a few kinks.

HaskellWiki talk:Syntax highlighting
From HaskellWiki
Revision as of 01:05, 14 March 2006 by NeilMitchell (Talk | contribs)
Question: Would it be possible to have an markup tag, say
<haskell-pretty> which would utilize the
<math> environment to produce neat looking things like , corresponding to
. — asks SebastianSylvan
foo :: forall a b. a -> b
- It may be possible, but there are issues. Bear in mind Haskell type variables can be more than one character: . I also find the TeX a bit ugly placed in the text.return :: (Monad monad) => a -> monad a
- An alternative might be to use Unicode more effectively: "foo :: ∀ m a b. (Monad m) ⇒ a → m b". —Ashley Y 23:38, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
- If that happens then users will not be able to cut and paste code to try it out. Haskell looks the way Haskell looks, this wiki should embrace that, and help users understand it, not try to change it --Neil Mitchell 01:05, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Nice looking case yes, but has flaws. They should have incorporated more features such as green switch, green LED, audio ports, spdif, etc.
Also the major flaw is they claim it is USB 2.0 and firewire for the front jacks that do exist. The cables do not meet the "USB 2.0 Board" specification. The shield is floating at both ends.
Also the firewire appears to be flawed. Although the cable has a shield pigtail, it is only connected to the front panel plastic and no way to the shell of the firewire port.

|I to thought this was a weird thing to have...I dont know who came up with it. Most computer desks have a spot to put the case, and its usualy only slightly bigger than the tower itself. The only thing that I can think of for the reason they did this was to be different.
I personally liked the look of it! Its has one of a my favorite colors! And its specs are decent as well
So what is my complaint about it? The side swinging door. I cases usually end up at my feet in the middle beneath my desk. A door to get to the slots would prove both pointless and incovienient for me. There would be a good chance that if I ever changed a cd and began loading while getting a glass of water or something, upon returning and sitting down I would probably (on accident) kick the thing to far to the side and snap it. It would have been nice to see them build some sort of way to move the door out of the way, such as it locking to the side or slidding back into the case from the front, which would solve my only complaint about it.

New Jersey Bear Attack Proves Need for Hunt- (08/04)
New Jersey
A black bear attack in New Jersey illustrates the importance of a hunt to control the state's escalating bear population and ensure citizens' safety.
In the early morning of July 13, a black bear sunk its teeth into a sleeping camper and tried to drag him away from a shelter at High Point State Park in northern New Jersey. Wildlife officials investigating the incident report that they trapped and dispatched a 152-pound female bear that was identified as the culprit.
"Bear-human conflicts like this demonstrate the need for New Jersey to control its bear population by hunting," said Tony Celebrezze, U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance director of state services. "A hunt will decrease the number of bears in the nation's most populated state, teaches bears a healthy respect for people and provides a great opportunity for sportsmen."
The New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife is now considering a bear hunt, which was proposed as part of the Fish and Game Council's 2005-2006 Game Code.
In 2003, the state held its first bear hunt in over 30 years. It reduced the population and resulted in a decrease in bear-human incidents. Last year's hunt was cancelled by Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner Bradley Campbell and the number of bear-human encounters again increased.

My first split
September 29, 2011, 01:49:00 AM »
Hello all,
My name is Greg and I currently have 1 hive but want to increase my apiary numbers so I have some questions.
I have 1 brood hive with no honey supers from a swarm some years ago and I want to split these 10 frames into 2 or 3 hives.
I have just received my first queen in the mail yesterday ( Sep 28 2011 ) and of course it is raining here in Toowoomba Qld today.
I have a 5 frame nuc with 5 new frames + foundation ready for the split tomorrow or the next day depending on weather.
I know I should take 3 frames of brood + bees, 1 frame of honey and 1 frame of foundation to the new nuc ensuring I don't have the original queen.
My problem is I don't have any frames of honey, so I will mix up 1 kilo of sugar into 1 liter of hot water and let cool then add this into a ziplock bag to the top frames of my nuc and slit the top of the bag to assist feeding.
Does that sound ok?
I also want to know if I can knock up another 1 or 2 nucs and do the same with the remaining frames in the original hive to wind up with 3 new hives instead of the original 1.
I will then have 1 hive with the original queen, 1 nuc with the young mated queen from the post, and 1 queenless hive which I would like to leave to their own resources to see a hive requeen.
My logic is if 1 nuc can survive then 3 nucs should survive equally a well.
If this is successful then can I do this again later this year or should I leave them alone till next year.
Great forum. Lots of advice and ideas.
Chat soon.

Just because you dont have a honey super does not mean you dont have honey. Most brood boxes will have honey on atleast the outer two frames and some on the others.
No reason why what you have suggested wont work. Hopefully you have some young brood for the queens less split to raise
Good luck

Thanks for the advice Allan.
I have another idea to throw out there to help with increasing numbers of hives in my yard.
I had made up one 10 frame as 2 nucs years ago with a rebatted slot down the middle to take a divider made from thin ply and a bottom board to suit. I then placed a reduced entrance at opposite ends. My logic was easier transport of 1 box versus 2 nucs.
I remember seeing a similar idea on the web but they had taken it further with 4 dividers turning a 10 frame box into 4 nucs of 2 frames each. In this way, I could divide 1 10 frame box into 4 nucs and add mated queens or let them do their own thing and make their own queens.
My concern is with the four nucs taken from the same hive, would the bees get confused and not know which box to go into?
I never tried this model but am curious to see if anybody has tried this...

Greg your second option would work in theory but I think you may be pushing them a bit hard.
One possible problem I can think of is all the field bees wanting to get back into the original entrance. If you haven't managed to get enough nurse bees on the brood frames they may struggle to cover the frames. It could leave them vulnerable to beetles if they are weak.
The type of set up you are talking about is more suited to queen rearing with the colony strength increased by shaking nurse bees in from stronger hives.
Painting a different design on each face of the super will aid with orientation.
I would be playing it safe while your numbers are low & just do the single split. You can still do another one later in the year & end up with 3.

You can force the old field bees to stay in your new nucs if you move the splits to a new yard a couple of kilometers away. However I agree, it would probably be best to let your parent hive build up more before taking more splits.

Thanks for your advice Yantabulla and Bluebee,
I think i will divide the remaining 7 frames into another nuc and get a mated queen for this hive and leave the remaining frames in box 1.
Should I transfer the 5 frames from my nucs to a 10 frame box in a month or so and let them fill these out till next year or can I divide them later this year?
I guess all this will depend on the season ahead.
I would like to get into rearing my own queens to save some money and get the experience also. Any advice??
I have just gone on our local register for swarm collection so I may be busy soon..

Just completed my first split and added my mated queen to my nuc.
Couldn't find the queen, looked 3 or 4 times but found bees of all ages and drones and some swarm cells opened and capped but very little brood cells. Maybe 20 to 50 in all frames.
I didn't find any eggs or larvae in any frame but introduced the mated queen to the top of middle frames with plug pointing up anyway.
Within 2 or 3 minutes there were dozens of bees clustering around the queen cage.
And now we wait......
I"ll wait a week and see how they are going.

Hmmm…….did your original hive swarm?
This could make your first split a little more challenging for a few reasons. First, virgin queens are hard to spot. You might have ended up moving a virgin queen (or another queen) into your nuc. I've done that before even after looking the frames over twice. Didn't bode well for my purchased queen.
Secondly if your parent hive (and now your nuc) has little to no brood, it's going to take quite some time to get them up to strength. 20 to 50 brood cells? The problem for the nuc will be a drop in population as the field bees return from the nuc to the parent hive. You may not end up with very many bees in your nuc to raise new brood and ward off the wax moths.
I'm not trying to be downer here, but you will have to keep a close eye on how things are going. Luckily it looks like you live in a very bee friendly climate. You'll want to keep checking your parent hive to make sure it has a mated queen at some point.
I'm a bit of a worry wart when it comes to installing purchased queens. I don't install the cage between frames, I just set the cage horizontally on top of a hives frames. I use a taller top cover when doing this. This allows me to peak into the hive to see if the queen has been released (or killed) after a few days. I don't have to pull frames to check this or remove the cage when introducing in this manner.
Good Luck

Thanks Bluebee,
I also thought my original hive might have swarmed but I was wondering why the old queen didn't leave a better hive behind.
There were 2 or 3 frames nearly fully filled and capped with honey and in the other frames 5 or 10 brood cells together in the middle then the entire frame empty. Other frames had brood cells scattered here and there. As I said before no larvae or eggs anywhere.
I am curious why there would still be some swarm cells if the hive has swarmed and a virgin queen was in residence.
Everything I have read and heard lately tells me to leave them for a week but do you think I should look in a few days?
I had the queen delivered on Wednesday so she was caged on Tuesday and I only installed her today, Friday. So she has been in the cage for 3 days before being installed.
Will this be an issue with the bees getting to her before they get used to her scent?
I had some local advice to put the nuc with the mated queen cage in the original position of the original hive and move the original hive away. This would strengthen up the nuc when the field bees arrive home. Hope this is right.
Thanks for any help offered. I am very interested in doing this right and getting my apiary up and running.

Yes, you got good local advice about swapping the positions of your nuc and parent hive. That will get more bees into the nuc. The original field bees will now fly back into your nuc.
As for your mated queen, I would also follow conventional advice, there's nothing wrong with that. I was just mentioning that I do it a little differently; putting the queen cage above the frames where I can peak without really disturbing the colony. As with most things bee keeping there are multiple ways of doing the same thing.
It sounds like your parent hive may have swarmed some time ago since you had so little brood left to emerge (and no larvae). Maybe those remaining queen cells are dead and the brood left behind mostly hatched? If not, then they swarmed within 7 days but didn't leave much brood for some reason.
Another thing about bee keeping, they love to throw us curveballs!

The quote I like is " Good decisions come from experience, experience comes from bad decisions".
I think all this is much more interesting if something goes wrong and i have to learn something new.
I'm hoping I've got the hive soon enough for the new queen to lay some eggs before all the old bees die out. i guess
I'll find out in a week.
She should be out of her mailing cage and laying if I've got this right.
Should there be eggs in my original hive by then if I've got a young virgin or will that take a bit longer?
Alternately, should I just reunite these 2 colonies in a week and let the mailed queen take over?
So many questions, so little bees......

In my bee yard it typically takes about 30 days from egg to a laying queen. If a virgin just emerged from a queen cell say 2 days ago, then I would expect eggs in about:
30 - 2 days – 16 days (egg to emergence) = 12 days from now.
Like with everything else bees, the time to mate and get laying will vary. Bad weather will delay things.
As for a combine, you might want to have your local beek take a look. It's kind of hard to make that call over the internet.

|If you wanna make that 305 sing find yourself an 85 camaro or TA with a 305 TPI in a junk yard and convert your engine over. You won't believe the seat of the pants performance gains you'll see plus they look cool too. lol If you wanna go one better find a 350 TPI engine (preferably a vette as opposed to camaro) and watch the fun begin.

That 305 can be rebuilt to be a good solid every day motor..they do have a small bore and the small valve heads and sorry the big valve 350 heads don't fit...
But then a port cleanup and decent cam and a solid rebuild can give you an engine that will give a good service for the parts chaser..
350's can be found by keeping your eyes open for cars/trucks that have one..If you find a good seasoned block and heads somewhere..then do that one..Heavens if one keeps their eyes open and ears to the ground and gets out and about one may even find a big block..
Depends on what you want to do..I keep my parts chaser as a good running fairly stock truck for a nice ride and good reliability to go chase parts with..Now my project car is a whole different deal..<<grinn>>

'87 305 TBI - worth rebuilding?
I'm debating on rebuilding my truck motor as I don't have the cash for a crate motor.
I'd like to get at least 350/350 out of it. I'd love to have a 350 TPI and a 5 speed from an IROC instead, but don't know where I'd find one. I don't really trust buying a used rebuilt from anyone I don't know either. Is it worth doing as semi stock to use it for a few years sort of thing? (until i have some play dough...)

The Tar Heels led just 40-34 at the break but opened the second half on a 19-2 run to turn it into a rout.
Waltiea Rolle added 17 of her own to go with eight rebounds and five blocks for UNC, who will open the 2012-13 regular season Friday, Nov. 9, against Davidson in the opening round of the Preseason WNIT.
Sarah Wollett led all scorers with 18 points for Wingate, who was the preseason pick to win the Division II South Atlantic Conference under first-year head coach Ann Hancock. Hancock was an assistant at UNC for eight seasons including the 1993-94 national championship campaign.
Brittany Rountree joined her senior teammates in double figures with 15, while Xylina McDaniel just missed a double-double with nine points and 11 boards. Megan Buckland also had 11 for the Tar Heels, who forced 40 turnovers on the night.
Wingate used a valiant effort on the boards and some timely three-point shooting to keep the game close early. The Bulldogs outrebounded the Tar Heels 34-22 in the opening 20 minutes, limiting the hosts to just eight second-chance points in the first half.
Ruffin-Pratt scored eight straight halfway through the stanza and capped a 13-0 run with a transition three-pointer to push the Carolina lead to 27-8 with 8:18 to play, but Wingate hung around with a late run of its own.
Still trailing by 15 with under four minutes left in the half, the Bulldogs closed on a 12-3 run over the final 2:13 to get within six.
But Wingate would get no closer as the Tar Heels dominated the start of the second half and pulled away from their Division II opponents.
Carolina used runs of 11-0, 8-0, 9-0 and 10-0 in the second half to pull away and outscore the Bulldogs 50-18 in the final 20 minutes.
The Tar Heel defense was especially sharp after halftime as it held Wollett to just two points after her opening-half 16 and Wingate to 6-of-22 shooting.
