Every 2nd & 4th Saturday, I'll be performing during Happy Hour at the best Irish pub in Mission Viejo. Come on down, have a pint, order some good Irish Food, and enjoy the music.
- Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily, and happy hour is from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m. Open mic nights are every Monday; karaoke is offered Tuesday through Sunday.
- A full lunch and dinner menu is offered at both locations, with appetizers, burgers and sandwiches, soups and salads along with some traditional Irish fare.
- High-definition flat-screen televisions fill up the bar and, in Mission Viejo, most of the restaurant.
Claim to fame: The corned-beef tacos. Patsy Wagoner, who opened the Laguna Niguel pub in 1984, brought along her recipe from Pennsylvania. Don Wagoner and her husband, Don, sold the Laguna Niguel location to daughter Mary Ann. "I would say that it just feels like you're right at home," said Amy Sim, another daughter. "It's kind of like a 'Cheers' bar where you can be here for an hour or you can be here all day." Football fans can certainly be there all day on game days. The pub is the unofficial hangout of Cleveland Browns backers, among other fan groups.
Did you know? The pub fills up on St. Patrick's Day, and green beer, corned beef and cabbage are staples. "It feels like home," Sim said. "It's not your typical Orange County bar. It's not stuffy. You feel welcomed. You're just comfortable."

by Deborah Brown-VolkmanToday's stressful workplace carries an expectation that you perform perfectly all of the time. Company numbers have to exceed last quarter's numbers. Market share has to increase. Work has to be completed faster. Technology advances mean that you are reachable 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There is no rest for the weary.All of this stress can have an effect on you and the people you work with. As a result, from time to time, co-workers may snap at you. They do not mean it. The pressure has gotten the better of them in the moment. Understanding why co-workers snap is important. They are overworked, and so are you. But behavior that feels inappropriate is inappropriate and must be addressed quickly.So what do you say to a co-worker who says something rude — something that does not feel right to you? Defend yourself.Here are four tips for defending yourself:1. Address The Inappropriate BehaviorDon't let co-workers get away with treating you badly even if it's unintentional. A bad behavior not addressed once, can become a new uncomfortable pattern going forward. It's OK to let someone know that what they just said was hurtful, wrong, or out of place.Let your co-worker know that what was said was wrong.Let them know you are not happy with their behavior.The best time to address an inappropriate behavior is in the moment if you can. It's OK if you are unable to speak up in the moment. Not everyone has the perfect words to say all the time, especially if what was said to you was hurtful. If you need time to assess a situation or think before you speak, take the time you need. There is no time limit on your ability to have a conversation with someone at your job.2. Convey What You Want Going ForwardMany people are afraid to have a conversation with someone who upsets them because they view it as a confrontation. Confrontation means there is a winner and a loser. Victory just for yourself is not what you are aiming for. You want win-win. You want both sides to be heard and a resolution that makes both sides happy.Your goal is not to create hard feelings or to blame.You want to convey what you believe is wrong and let your co-worker know what you want going forward. Do you want them to stop interrupting you in meetings? Then say so. Do you want them to stop talking credit for your work? Then say so. Whatever it is, it's OK for you to say it.3. Thank Your Co-Worker for Their Willingness to Work This Out with YouThank your co-worker for taking the time to have the conversation with you. Speaking to you means they value you and respect your feelings. (Yes, it's OK to have feelings at work.) Appreciation goes a long way, and helps creates the foundation for the new working relationship that has been formed.Thank-yous also provide closure. They mean that both sides are ready to put the issue behind them.4. Move OnSometimes an issue will be resolved and sometimes it won't. Maybe a co-worker doesn't believe he or she has done anything wrong or does not want to see your side.Maybe the person isn't interested in what is important to you. Whether you were able to resolve the situation or not doesn't matter. You spoke up, so good for you. Once you've given it your best shot, move on. Holding on to past issues will affect your future performance.Trust that most issues will be resolved if you address them. The issues that don't go away are the ones that you don't talk about. Move on, while congratulating yourself for the courage it took to defend you.So, what do you say? You only have one life to live, so it might as well be a life you love!

What's the Matter With Business at Liberal Arts Colleges?
I am a bit perplexed. No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to get many listeners on the subject of the need for liberal arts colleges to offer a minor in business and entrepreneurship. Over the past month, I wrote to the presidents at four of the top liberal arts colleges in the U.S. about the possibility of this idea. One kindly responded right away, acknowledging that it may be worthwhile, but due to financial issues, no new programs were being introduced.
Why am I fixated on liberal arts colleges introducing business courses? Articles in Business Week, Inside HigherEd, and elsewhere have discussed the importance of doing so. Am I looking through the glasses with my own bias? I don't think so. Let me highlight the reasons why.
Many, if not most, liberal arts graduates will have to know about business. Art or music majors will most likely deal with business issues in their profession, whether it's acting in the role of a curator at a museum or starting a business of giving music lessons. Psychology, economics, and even philosophy majors may end up working with consulting firms, and having a course or two about business and entrepreneurship would help further round their education to better practice and understand the consulting world. Foreign language majors will intersect with the business world through international development, serving as interpreters for the United Nations, or tutoring in foreign languages on their own.
These are just some of the synergies created in their professional lives. Knowing about business for one's personal life is just as important. Being able to budget your money, determine where to invest for the future, or understand health care and other fringe benefits are all examples.
A Perfect Combination
I am not necessarily saying there should be a major in business and entrepreneurship at liberal arts colleges; this may create some controversy among the purists. But, having a "minor" in business and entrepreneurship to complement one's liberal arts major could be a perfect combination.
There are already some progressive schools on this front. Franklin & Marshall College (Pa.) has a department and major in Business, Organizations and Society. Courses include theories of organization, accounting for decision-making, organizational behavior, financial reporting, quantitative methods, marketing, ethics, international business, portfolio management, and others.
Organizational behavior overlaps with psychology, ethics overlaps with philosophy, and finance overlaps with economics.
The provost at Haverford College (Pa.) told me his leadership team is considering this possibility (they haven't yet dedicated faculty/leadership to the idea).
Certainly, even with such representative courses, we can see the intersections with other disciplines in the liberal arts. Organizational behavior overlaps with psychology, ethics overlaps with philosophy, finance overlaps with economics, quantitative methods overlaps with math and statistics, and the list goes on.
An interdisciplinary minor in business and entrepreneurship could be created by pooling resources from liberal arts disciplines along with some new hires in business disciplines or with the help of executives in residence. The "Minor in Entrepreneurship and Management" has worked very well for liberal arts and engineering students of larger institutions such as Johns Hopkins University (Md.).
I don't want to ruffle feathers, but liberal arts colleges are missing an important opportunity for students. I'm willing to bet a minor in business and entrepreneurship would become one of the most popular, chosen to further enhance the student's learning and perhaps one's resume.
Elite U.S. liberal arts colleges should be leading the way and setting an example for others. By doing so, other liberal arts colleges will follow, further enriching students' education and marketability in these tough economic times.

The team also dropped this tutorial video, which is notable because it appears to show a new practice mode. The lack of a practice mode may seem trivial for a game that was comprehensively panned, but I (and others) argued that players would have felt a little more forgiving toward NBA Live's gameplay if they had an environment in which to understand its basics. It's especially true given the trial-and-error necessary to learn a timing-based shot system that doesn't give you feedback as to what you're doing wrong. Advertisement Advertisement In Twitch.tv tutorials shortly after NBA Live's release, Scott O'Gallagher, the developer who narrates this video, would suggest that players start up a game and turn off all fouls and rules to create a practice-like lab. It was OK, but you still faced a defense and changes of possession. Here we see an offense-only mode in an empty arena as O'Gallagher again reintroduces us to the basics of NBA Live 14 gameplay. There's no word on when the next patch drops but if it includes any kind of a tutorial or a laboratory mode, better late than never.Reply25 repliesLeave a reply

Is This The Ultimate Photo Road Warrior Machine? Two Pros And Their PhotoMobile
Custom designed for camera gear, comfort, mobile Internet access, and that
go-anywhere performance, pros Roger L. Johnson and Brad Perks now use the PhotoMobile
for photographic assignments, executive portrait sessions on location, and mobile
photo services coast to coast.
Johnson's ideas took flight during a trip through the Rocky Mountains
with Perks. They were out to shoot fall colors in Utah and Colorado. They were
traveling in a 40-foot motorhome built on a bus chassis. An SUV was in tow for
the off-road portions of their trip. The bus had features like a full-size shower,
washer/drier, and oven. It was everything they thought they needed to go take
pictures in comfort and style.
All seemed great, but the bus slowed to a crawl over the mountain passes.
The narrow roads were challenging to drive with a big rig. They required constant
concentration. Dark clouds filled the skies near Flaming Gorge. It started to
rain. A double rainbow appeared over orange-colored aspens. Excitement filled
the air as they prepared to shoot a masterpiece. Miles down the road they finally
found a spot large enough for that big rig to pull over. The rainbow was gone
and so were the colorful aspens. There had to be a better way to go, or be able
to stop.
Johnson saw a tricked out four-wheel drive camper van at their next destination.
He remembered the Sportsmobile.com web address and began dreaming about a more
photo-friendly vehicle. Sportsmobile invited Johnson to hitch a ride on a convoy
to Baja. He had a chance to see a variety of custom designs negotiating a rugged
environment. He began to collect elements that were suited to his mobile photo
needs. He assembled them like pieces of a puzzle. The team at Sportsmobile welcomed
Johnson's frequent visits during the design and building process.
The results were well conceived into a one-of-a-kind PhotoMobile.
His first consideration was the chassis. Johnson ordered a Ford four-wheel drive
diesel-powered chassis with a bubble top. The four-wheel drive tractions through
winter storms and rugged off-road adventures. There is no need to trailer an
SUV. The turbo-charged diesel provides good mileage, range on a tank of fuel,
and performance. No line of cars form behind this vehicle on a mountain pass.
The bubble top allows you to stand up inside the vehicle. The top also converts
into a second sleeping area at night.
Sportsmobile offers a selection of floor plans or lets you go as custom as you
can dream. Cabinets designed for photo gear was part of Johnson's plan.
He created extra storage by putting the sofa bed on a platform. This camera
storage area is divided into three large chambers that can be locked up tight.
A lock was designed that padlocks the rear doors to the bumper. It is secure
storage even if someone breaks into the vehicle. It is large enough to accommodate
lots of camera gear, including the main camera bag, a complete macro outfit
in a second backpack/bag, the 600, the 400, a briefcase of filters, strobes,
and diffusers. The second chamber holds tools and utilities. This platform has
a third compartment that can be accessed from inside the vehicle. It was sized
to fit three tripods.
The side wall contains a large camera storage cabinet and a tall closet for
oversize items. Above the rear door are two cabinets for film and supplies.
Four additional cabinets are located on either side of the sofa bed for computers
and gear. Shelves were built that extend from the back to the front. During
the day, luggage and sleeping gear disappear behind the sofa bed. The side doors
have built-in storage with a fold-out countertop. A coffee maker lives there,
poised for action before sunrise.

If you don't quite think you have what it takes to GoPro, now you have another option: GoBandit. This waterproof, GPS-enabled videocam can capture your finest moments in HD and then overlay the footage with location, speed, and altitude data.
In addition to capturing 720p video, you can set the GoBandit to take 5 megapixel snapshots every 2 or 5 seconds. All these extreme memories are recorded onto 2GB of internal memory, expandable by an SDHC card.
The GoBandit's most attractive feature, though, is its ability to augment your video with information on your activity—so when you tell your friend, "I swear I was flying down that hill at 35 MPH," you'll have some hard evidence to back it up.
The GoBandit is currently available for preorder in the UK for $470, though apparently the bandits are hoping to hit a $389 pricepoint when the camera comes stateside. [GoBandit via Engadget]

The Nursing Program at Colby-Sawyer leads to a Bachelor of Science with a major in nursing and integrates knowledge from the liberal arts and sciences with professional education and experience. Students are immersed in educational and clinical experiences that seek to prepare them for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and to assume entry-level positions in professional nursing or to enroll in graduate studies in nursing. Our graduates practice in a variety of professional settings, including hospitals, clinics, private practices and community-based healthcare organizations. For information about Admissions requirements and applying to the Nursing Program visit Admissions.
Colby-Sawyer's nursing education takes place in small classes in state-of-the-art classrooms and labs to help students develop the essential skills for entry-level practice. Students apply the skills they learn at the college to real-life practice gained through the college's collaborations with Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC), located just 30 minutes north and the college's other partners in health care.
The Nursing Department's partners include New London Hospital, Concord Hospital, the Lake Sunapee Region Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice, Kearsarge Regional School District, and others.
Colby-Sawyer College is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The Nursing Program is approved by the New Hampshire Board of Nursing and received a 10-year accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education in the fall of 2012.
Clinical Rotations
In the Nursing Program, clinical rotations are the clinical component of nursing courses. Rotations are taught by nursing faculty, who are responsible for assisting students in the integration of theory and practice in clinical settings.
The Nursing Program offers its student nurses clinical rotations in a great variety of inpatient and community settings through its collaborative relationships with numerous hospitals and community-based organizations. These include Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, New London Hospital, Concord Hospital, Elliot Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital, and New Hampshire area schools, in addition to other health and human services organizations.
As sophomores, students spend one day each week in a clinical setting. During junior year and fall of the senior year, nursing students spend two days a week in a clinical setting. Hospital-based clinical rotations include rotations in pediatrics, obstetrics, medical/surgical, and mental health. In the process, our students broaden their knowledge and skills and often gain a better sense of direction for their future careers in nursing.
Capstone Projects
In their senior year, nursing students complete both a Nursing Leadership Capstone and a Clinical Capstone.
In the year-long Nursing Leadership Capstone, the nursing role includes acting as provider, manager and coordinator of care for individuals, families and communities. Nursing care includes planning health promotion through normative transitions across the life span, prevention of events that compromise health, and management and maintenance of optimal health for persons with chronic illness and disability. Emphasis is on assessing and planning nursing care for select aggregates and communities and utilizing community health indicators in collaboration with community partners. Students work with community mentors to identify and plan interventions based on the capacities of the community and the nursing program and meet weekly for clinical seminar. As the Capstone progresses, there is a greater focus in this course on the coordination of care and the leadership role of nurses in the community. Topics include cultural influences on the health of communities, roles of human service organizations, interdisciplinary collaboration, occupational health nursing, public safety/disaster management, and evaluation methods. Weekly clinical seminar meetings allow students to benefit from one another's experiences. Student projects/interventions are presented to a group jointly identified by student, faculty and community mentors.
For their Clinical Capstone, students provide and coordinate complex restorative nursing care in the hospital setting to acutely ill individuals and their families. Students work under the guidance of a clinical mentor to achieve competence in providing safe, effective nursing care at a novice level. Students explore professional issues and responsibilities to develop management and leadership skills as they assume a professional role. Topics include management of nursing care, nursing leaders/leadership, role development, and career management. Weekly clinical seminars provide opportunities for analysis and evaluation of therapeutic nursing interventions and the professional role of nurses.
The Colby-Sawyer nursing program has partnered with several community sites including Adult Day Out; the village of Pokuase in Ghana, Africa; Newport Health Center; New London Hospital; Lake Sunapee Region Visiting Nurse Association & Hospice; Tiger Treatment Center at Newport Middle High School; Kearsarge Regional School District and Baird Health and Counseling Center on Colby-Sawyer's campus.
Undergraduate nursing education is the process of preparing students for entry-level practice as professional nurses, for graduate study, and for life-long learning. The Department of Nursing recognizes that nursing education must be both responsive to trends in health care and grounded in a core curriculum. We emphasize the importance of students' personal responsibility for their learning because they will need to continue learning throughout their professional lives. The philosophy of the Department of Nursing is summarized in this statement of our faculty's beliefs about nursing, health, the persons for whom we care, and the environment in which nursing care is provided. The following description of nursing summarizes the philosophy of the nursing faculty at Colby-Sawyer:
Nursing is the care of persons who are experiencing or can be expected to experience variations in health, and the tending of the entire environment in which care occurs.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Much is being made by Obama partisans about Mitt Romney's alleged participation in a hazing incident when he was in high school almost half a century ago. The intense attention brings up the question of what sorts of past misdemeanors should have a bearing on a person's fitness for public office or to serve a president.
Consider several examples.
– Bill Clinton is actively supporting and doing campaign ads for the reelection of Barack Obama. Have we so soon forgotten that in1998 the House of Representatives impeached him for perjury and obstruction of justice – not for some minor sexual peccadillo, as some would have it, but for lying in sworn testimony during a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by former Arkansas state employee Paula Jones. (The Senate subsequently failed to obtain the required two-thirds vote for conviction.) Citing Bill Clinton's lying under oath about his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky, in 2000 the Arkansas Supreme Court's Committee on Professional Conduct called for his disbarment. In 2001 Clinton was fined and his Arkansas law license was suspended for five years.
In his stunning 2003 book, "Dereliction of Duty," Air Force Lt. Col. Robert "Buzz" Patterson, a presidential aide and carrier of the "nuclear football," describes several examples of President Clinton's gross irresponsibility toward national security. The president not only failed on several occasions to take phone calls from his national security advisor, who needed clearance to launch raids to attempt to kill Osama bin Laden, but also Clinton twice managed to lose the nuclear weapons launch codes. In addition, Patterson describes a sordid incident in which the Commander-in-Chief groped a female steward on Air Force One. As an enlisted member of the U.S. Air Force, she opted not to make an issue of it and settled for a personal apology from the president. (I have verified this incident from an independent source.)
– Bill Clinton's chief of staff, who would certainly have known about this sorry state of affairs, was Leon Panetta, later appointed to head the CIA by Obama and currently the secretary of defense. In their quest for prior bad behavior of politicians, why have neither members of congress nor the press corps asked Panetta about his role in suppressing the various "bimbo eruptions," as the molester-in-chief's sexual dalliances were known during the Clinton presidency. Did the Obama administration officials who vetted Panetta ask him these questions?
– Obama's secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, is no slouch when it comes to baggage. In 1993 she engineering the firing of the staff of the White House travel office on the basis of trumped-up charges of financial impropriety. An investigation by Independent Counsel Robert Ray concluded that she had made factually false statements but that there was insufficient evidence as to whether her statements were either knowingly false or that she understood that her statements caused the firings. The employees were eventually reinstated.
The most malodorous piece of Hillary's baggage is the mysterious disappearance and reappearance of court-subpoenaed law firm records belonging to her. After going missing for years, they suddenly turned up in then-first-lady Hillary's book room on the third floor of the White House. (The FBI's fingerprint analysis of the billing records revealed the prints of Hillary and White House lawyer Vince Foster, who had committed suicide under suspicious circumstances.)
The Senate-mandated Whitewater investigation of shady financial dealings in Arkansas by Clinton friends and associates concluded that Hillary Clinton was the person most likely to have put the billing records in her book room, or to know how they got there. (The records were needed to show the extent of Hillary's legal work for a savings and loan involved in fraud.) Shortly after the discovery of the records, Hillary made history by becoming the first First Lady ever to appear before a Grand Jury inquiry.
Secretary Clinton has denied knowing how the billing records found their way to her book room.
– This last item is an especially interesting tale. In "I Heard You Paint Houses," a biography of Teamsters and Mafia hit-man Frank Sheeran, the lifelong thug describes a favor he performed while he was president of Teamsters Local 326 in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1972 Sheeran received a visit from "a very prominent lawyer" he knew who was "very big in the Democratic Party" in Delaware. The November general election was approaching and the race for the U.S. Senate seat held by a Republican was expected to be close. The lawyer wanted help in preventing the distribution of a paid Republican political ad – an insert in the Delaware-wide newspapers -- that would run for a week and expose the campaign misrepresentations by the Democratic challenger. Sheeran promised the operative that he "would hire some people and put them on the picket line." He added, "People nobody would mess with."
The picket line went up, the papers were not delivered all week, and as Sheeran said, "The day after the election the informational picket line came down and the newspaper went back to normal and Delaware had a new United States Senator." His name was Joe Biden. Thereafter, said admitted extortionist, thief and murderer Sheeran, of Biden, "You could reach out for him and he would listen."
Here's a question to ponder: With respect to fitness to serve in high elected or appointed office, whose transgressions are worse?

This time it's a board game called CheckARz which takes a crack at recreating that awesome battling chess set from Star Wars, with marginal success. Using an iPad 2 running an accompanying app developed with Qualcomm, players can view an enhanced version of the checker/chess board through its camera, with added characters who battle it out as you move the pieces on the board. But since it's designed with kids in mind, the animations aren't quite as gruesome as they appeared in the movie. Pocket-lint got an early demo of the game, but since it's not due out until September of this year, CheckARz was still very much in the prototype stages and didn't demo so well. But, even in its current form, it manages to do the impossible and make checkers actually look fun to play. [Pocket-lint]Reply16 repliesLeave a reply

I've completely removed caffeine from my diet, so that is not the problem. If I have caffeine it could cause me to have a seizure. I accidentally drank a glass of iced tea a couple of weeks ago, I completely forgot! That one small glass of iced tea caused my heart to speed up dramatically, and I also started shaking histerrically and uncontrollably. Even the next day felt absolutely horrible! Other than that one time, I've been caffeine free for nearly 5 months now. I don't take any types of medecine, and I'm definitely not on any drug. I've never taken a single drug in my life, so I know it's not that lol. I called the doctor and asked about what other tests we will be performing so we can find out what is wrong, but he just told me: "science is not advanced enough to figure out what's wrong with you, so you're just going to have to wait it out." The doctors around my area could care less about the situation though. Not once have they called me with any of my results or anything, I've constantly had to struggle to ever get ahold of them. Like I said before though, I'm moving, so I'll definitely be locating another doctor. Hopefully he/she will know better. It's not like my high heartrate is a uncommon. It never maintains a steady beat. I'm extremely lucky if my heartrate is ever under 100 bps. One second it might be at 90, yet another it will reach 170. It's never constant, and I can feel it. I wore a heart monitor that showed my pulse at 225 at one point! All this while I am sedintary. I never did any excersizing when I wore that monitor. Aside from that, I get plenty of excersize and am in great shape. I can't help but be mad when my doctor doesn't even seem to care about what is wrong with me. Sorry for getting so off topic.

I'm sorry Mel. Hopefully your new doc will be more helpful. THORN: I never tan and don't see why you would want to. You're so pretty pale. I'm Irish so I burn when I go out into the sun. I tried the fake stuff once (just on my legs, thank god) and turned orange. I never got what was so cool about being tan. Can some one explain? lol

No drugs or caffeine..tha'ts your problem right there.......... only teasing.
I can fully relate to having your heart not work "normally". I've got a skipping heart. At least 6 times an hour "or more" it skips and then beats hard a fast a couple of times to catch up. I've had this all my life and it comes and goes. Sometimes it's gone for a few months, and then suddenly it's back. Doesn't matter if I drink coffee or have a beer or a cig. I quit smoking 6 weeks ago and it hasn't made any difference to my heart. Hopefully it will help my lungs last a bit longer. I't not serious...........just annoying. Aparently everyone on my father's side of the family had this and my grandmother lived to be 94 and my dad passed away when he was 87. It's just scary when it's your heart, you know?

There is nothing wrong with being pale. I'm half British and half German. Not many people are more pale than I. Some years ago I was into tanning, but it was difficult - I burn way too easily. Now I'm happy just how I am.
And, living in Arizona, I see the effects of people who spend too much time in the sun without proper protection. Not a pretty sight.

Hi Dan.........good to see you again.
I used to work at a golf course, and some of the diehard golfers had skin like lizards at 50.

I'm pale....and I love it. I dunno, I used to let it get to me, but being pale fits my personality and my style...I'm very much an indoors person, I hate hot weather, and most of all...I HATE tan lines! haha...that alone makes me stay pale, cause I just hate the way tan lines look which is ridiculous in my opinion.
People pick on me all the time, but I burn instantly, so I'd rather be pale than get cancer, but since I prefer being pale, I guess it's easier for me to cope with... You definately should'nt let it get to you... |

Duking it out
Soroco will win
History suggests the Soroco High School football team doesn't have a chance. The Rams didn't come within three touchdowns of Hayden in any of the four times the cross-county rivals played before the annual series ended in 2008 with Soroco's drop to 8-man football.
Hayden's a proud football town with a proud football tradition. History is on Hayden's side.
The Rams made me a believer, though, and there are two reasons: Ian Palyo and Ryan Jeep.
That's not to say I envision Palyo or Jeep scoring the winning touchdown or making the winning play. The two are just cogs in Soroco's offensive machine, talented sure, but pieces rather than "the answer" when compared to receivers like AJ Anderson and Matt Regan and running backs like Keenan Bradshaw — not to mention the irreplaceable Nic Paxton.
Palyo's a 5-foot-7, 228-pound junior, and Jeep is 6-6 239-pound junior.
Offensive line was the big question mark when Soroco entered this season. It didn't take a prophecy to predict the team would have offensive firepower, but a jittery offensive line can ruin everything in no time. Running backs could be blasted in the backfield forcing Paxton into what, in previous seasons, has been his Achilles heel: bad passes and turnovers.
Palyo and Jeep could go miles to building that offensive line. Palyo is a fullback who simply rumbles — sorry, it's just the best, perhaps the only, word to describe it — when handed the ball.
Jeep has the frame of an all-state football player, no matter where he's lined up. His size alone is enough to make him a dominant tight end or receiver, where he's lined up so far this season.
That Palyo and Jeep have been allowed to display those offensive skills at running back and receiver says everything about what coach David Bruner thinks of the offensive line. If it was the hole in the team some feared, they'd make for solid linemen. Instead, they're a part of Soroco's uber-depth at the skill positions.
The Rams' offense proves too much thanks to that depth, and they get the long-awaited win against the Tigers, 35-24.
— Joel Reichenberger
Hayden will win
Full disclosure. I haven't seen the Tigers play this year. I literally have no idea how they have adjusted to 8-man football. I have no idea whether they're as explosive as the Rams.
But I do have six years of experience watching Shawn Baumgartner coach football.
You know what you get with him. He adjusts his schemes to fit his personnel as well as any coach.
There also is one key number: 13.
That's how many seniors the Tigers have. Experience counts.
I'm not discounting Soroco. This is the best Rams team I have seen in a couple of years. Nic Paxton is a good quarterback. Physically, no one can match what Ryan Jeep brings to the field.
The Rams have outscored their opponents 183-6. They've been unstoppable. They've made the running clock — a sportswriters best friend — more common than a pickup truck in Oak Creek.
Of course, the team hasn't played anybody. They've had more cupcakes than a birthday party.
That's the biggest reason I'm taking the Tigers.
Hayden played Dayspring Christian — the No. 1 team in 8-man — and lost 28-17. Hayden led that game in the fourth quarter. The Tigers were new to this 8-man gig and proved their own. They proved within two weeks that the team is a legit championship contender.
Soroco's starters haven't seen the second half.
There is no substitute for playing tough teams and tough late games. Hayden experienced it with Dayspring, and in what figures to be another tough game that comes down to the fourth quarter, the Tigers have a huge advantage.
Soroco has been very vanilla in its formations and play calling. Here's betting the mad scientist of Routt County football, Rams coach David Bruner, has the Annexation of Puerto Rico up his sleeve.
But I have a hard time thinking Soroco can keep up with Hayden. The Tigers are deeper and also have playmakers.
The Tigers are at home. It's homecoming week. Tigers 56, Rams 49.

The kids, working with a group called Kid Pan Alley that runs the workshops, composed the song and performed it at Woodbrook Elementary. Then conservative bloggers freaked out because of the song's overt political messages. They're worried that tax-payer dollars were somehow being used to indoctrinate young minds and turn the children into communists. It's too bad they got so worked up because if you listen to the song, it becomes clear that, even though the song references the 99 percent, these kids don't really have any idea what they're talking about. Here's the song's chorus:AdvertisementSome people have it all But they still don't think they have enough They want more money A faster ride They're not content Never satisfied Yes, they're the one percentOk, fair enough. The one percent is perceived as greedy, etc. But then here's the first verseAdvertisementI used to be one of the one percent I worked all the time Never saw my family Couldn't make my life rhyme Then the bubble burst It really, really hurt I lost my money I lost my pride I lost my home Now I'm part of the 99Wait, that is not how it went down at all. It's not like everyone was in the one percent and had miserable lives, and then after the financial crisis 99 percent of people are now homeless and without pride. It gets even more complicated in the second verse when they start singing about how they used to be sad as the one percent, but now they're happier because they don't have yachts and planes anymore. The verse ends with "Didn't need that extra stuff/ I'm happy to be part of the 99." I'm not sure, were you to go to any of the Occupy protests around the country, that you'd find a ton of people who had to give up their yachts and are now happy not to have any stuff...So, phew! It seems like we can all take a deep breath. These third graders are not, in fact, on the verge of inciting class warfare with their not-even-very-catchy protest song.

Most of us here are not particularly big fans of the concept of patents. Most of us are aware of the significance of patents, we just believe the system has gone out of control and needs a serious kick in the butt. Well, it turns out not even the richest people on this earth are immune to the call of the patent troll. Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen has filed a massive patent lawsuit, using broad and vague patents to sue just about any big name in the business - from Apple to Google.

Situated on the Costa Dorada's sun drenched coast, 50 miles (80km) west of Barcelona and six miles (10km) west of Tarragona, the popular holiday resort town of Salou is hard to beat for a fun family vacation. It is fairly spread out and merges with the neighbouring resorts of La Pineda to the east and Cambrils to the west, all of which benefit from the string of wonderful clean sandy beaches and secluded rocky coves.
As well as the natural attractions, Salou is also packed with entertainment for all ages, from watersports to an aqua park, go-karting and one of Europe's most thrilling theme parks, attracting thousand of holidaymakers every year, Universal's Port Aventura. Sightseers interested in museums or ancient history will find plenty to occupy them in nearby Tarragona, or on excursions into the Spanish countryside, or on excursions into the countryside. Salou's seafront promenade is set with beautifully landscaped gardens and parks; fountains are lit up at night when holidaymakers stroll to the restaurants, nightclubs, bars and British-style pubs.
Even the most hyperactive child can be kept amused for weeks in Salou. Watersports such as banana boats and windsurfing can be arranged at the main beach and Port Aventura can provide entertainment for two days or more, while the go-kart track and the aqua park in Pineda are great fun for holidaymakers and kids of all ages.
Salou's most recommended eateries include Capri y Creta, The Paddock, Portofino or The Waterfront. Eating out is relatively cheap and although many places cater to holidaymakers and British palates, there are also plenty of good Spanish and seafood restaurants.
Holidaymakers looking for a good night out in Salou should try Christy's Irish Bar, 007 Bond, Double Scotch or Charlie Chaplin's. The nightlife is a bit quiet but Barcelona is under an hour away on the train and well worth a visit for an evening.
There is a good selection of souvenir and fashion stores in Salou, and holidaymakers who want to enjoy more extensive shopping can hop on a train and travel to the renowned shopping Mecca of Barcelona, just 40 minutes away. There is a flea market in the old town centre on Mondays.

TWO GUYS BAREBACKINGApr 21, 2004 I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH THIS GUY...AS HE IS CUTE.....HE WANTS TO BAREBACK........IF THE BOTH OF US DON'T HAVE AIDS/HIV- IS THIS CONSIDERED SAFE SEX, DOC. PLEASE REPLY........THANKS CHARLES |
Response from Dr. FrascinoHi Charles, First off, OK you can tell for sure if this guy is cute or not by looking at him and the rise in his Levis, but how do you know he's HIV negative? Because he says so? Because he had a test last week or last month? Neither argument is sufficient. Maybe he doesn't know he's HIV positive. Maybe the quickie he had at the gym yesterday wasn't so safe. There really is no way to be certain of someone else's status. Also, if he wants to bareback, that should be an automatic red flag that he's willing to take risks! So would I consider this safe sex? Nope. I'd consider it very risky indeed, not only from an HIV standpoint, but in terms of the risk of other STDs as well. Charles, if you know you are HIV negative, it's up to you to protect yourself and your negative status, no matter how hot this studmuffin is. Glove him before you love him. OK? Stay safe to stay well. Dr. Bob | ||||||||||

Vegan MoFo - Andrea's Orange Chocolate Chip Cake
This is one of Andrea's recipes that I bookmarked a while ago, it's an Orange Chocolate Chip Cake that I baked in two medium sized ramekins (I'm only baking halved or even quartered recipes during MoFo.) Andrea originally made them as the cutest little bundt cakes, and you can also make them as one big yummy cake.
The addition of almond and coconut flour gives this cake a lovely texture. It's flavored with orange zest and ginger, which is a perfect combination! The soft chocolate chips add a delicious contrast, and if you're into cranberries that's an extra bonus. I'm not a cranberry person, so I added a few more mini chocolate chips instead! Thanks for sharing this scrummy recipe, Andrea! :)
16 comments:
Don't listen to Amber! Chocolate and orange are made for each other! Awesome combo. And you know that I'm with you on the cranberry thing too. Do. Not. Want them in my cake! ;P
I'm quite new to Andrea's blog, but I'm going to have a little look through her recipe archive for more yummy looking desserts later :)
Today's lolcat is perfect! Aww!
(And I'm glad to see you've been prodded a couple of times too! Did it work? Is my next test recipe ready yet? Hows about now? Now? Heehee!).for some silly reason i have it in my head that i don't like the chocolate-orange combination. and you know what, it's completely dumb of me because i can't honestly say that i've ever tried the chocolate orange combination. i'm gonna have to some day - and i might just start with Andrea's Orange Chocolate Chip Cake - and if i do i'm gonna put in all the cranberries that you're not eating! :) tee hee! rock on with the MoFo and blog love, River! squeeeeees all around!

Kristen Wiig's Top 6 Hilarious Moments
In anticipation of her new movie, Bridesmaids, we're remembering Kristen Wiig's most hilarious characters to date.
-Faye Brennan
We can't wait to see funny girl Kristen Wigg in Bridesmaids, opening this Friday. She regularly steals the show on Saturday Night Live and has had some hilarious movie roles in the past. That's why we're so anxious to see what she's cooked up as the writer and star of the new flick about a group of bridesmaids who hit up Las Vegas.
Read Win It! Girl's Night Out + Fab Prizes From 'Bridesmaids'!
If you're not familiar with Wiig's many comedic talents, we've rounded up her top 6 moments that had us laughing until our sides hurt. Watch them all here:
1. E! Supervisor in Knocked Up
Who can forget Wiig's small but memorable role in 2007's hit, Knocked Up. She played one of Katherine Heigl's supervisors at E!, and had a very funny way of telling her she needed to lose weight. "Go home and step on a scale, and then subtract that number by twenty, and then weigh that much."
2. Impersonating MacGruber in MacGruber
This movie may have been a flop at the box office, but for those who sat through it (or rented it at home), the payoff came during this scene when Wiig impersonates Will Forte's character, Macgruber. Who takes back a tip?

The place to be....for the Characters, Places & Things on Television
Galactica (2004) - Mile-wide space cruiser featured on the sci-fi series BATTLESTAR GALACTICA/ABC/SCI/2004-2009.
Light years across the vastness of space was a solar system comprised of twelve planets. During their 7th millennium, these planetary systems were viciously attacked by Cylons, a race of robots created by humans who evolved into human form and mandated that their creators must die.
Gathering together the survivors of the holocaust, Commander Adama (Edward James Olmos), the leader of the Galactica star cruiser, fled the star system with a rag-tag armada of spacecraft in search of a planet their legends called Earth.
Cast of 2004 BATTLESTAR GALACTICA series
The Galactica's defenses included massive laser cannons and the Red Squad, a fleet of small fighter crafts called Colonial Vipers. Their top pilots were Captain Apollo (Jamie Bamber); Lt. Starbuck (Katee Sackhoff); and Lt. Boomer (Grace Park).
The military contingent on Galactica included:
Crewman Specialists
Security Officers

Mark Steyn in for Rush
Of all the Marks...Steyn is my favorite! If it has to be someone other than Rush.... I enjoy listening to Steyn.
The day Mark Steyn subs, someone schedules two meetings for me starting at 1PM.
Grrr . . .
Why does Rush always take off the day after a GOP debate? I love Mark Steyn and will enjoy listening to his take, but I was really looking forward to hearing Rush too.
This is the "at-least-its-not-Mark-Davis" thread? I like Mark Steyne except for him giggling at his juvenile sexual jokes.
My favorite undocumented alien. The only guest host other than Prof. Williams who is worth listening to.
War Eagle!
The only guest host I like is Steyn but Rush sure takes off a lot
Why does Rush always take off the day after a GOP debate?
I was thinking the same thing. I don't think he has been on once the day after a debate.
"The Senate Tuesday afternoon unanimously cleared an amendment to prohibit funding for operations similar to the Justice Department's botched gun-tracking program, nicknamed Operation Fast and Furious.
"I'm putting the DOJ on double secret probation."
Mark Davis?
I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that.
Best Mark Davis impersonation ever!
We are all taking off today in South Florida.
We have had 20 inches of rain in 5 days and its just dam depressing. So no one is working,not even Rush!!
He does. It is very annoying, especially when there is always so much in the news.
"Mark Davis? I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that.:
Me too! I felt a rush of relief when I heard Steyn's wonderful voice. Phew, that was a close one.
Occupy Deer Tick Notch?
Actually Steyn is the "only" talk show host worth listening to when rush is not available.
I've noticed that as well, although Rush takes days off for just about everything and anything these days. Today is a rare day that I can listen for the full three hours, and - sure enough - Rush is out.
Anyone out there keeping track of Rush's numerous absences? I think he's starting to average at least once a week now... >:-(
Dang , Rush is gone as often as Obama is.
Well at least its his dime and not mine.
We need a Rush is out again section.
He is a hoot.
Hmmm . . . I'm starting to get suspicious about Rush's post-debate absences. Is he involved in conducting a post-mortem with a certain candidate after each debate?
Hey the guy just got married to a hot blonde!! I would be taking off as well,guys are only human.....what good is a billion bucks if you can't spend it once in a while.?
Rick Perry WAS my hold card. Everyone looked like chit! Cain's 9-9-9 is a disaster.
That debate was horrible.
Don't you just love that "echo" effect? ;-)
I knew it was bad when Newt Gingrich was starting to look good to me.
Yeah, those start to wear thin by the third hour...
France and Germany ready to agree to 2 trillion euro bailout fund
So how much of that are US taxpayers on the hook for, and why ain't any Pubbies screaming bloody murder about it?!
For me I kinda figured out a few months ago that Sarah didn't have an organization and wasn't building one.
At that point I decided to lower my expectations to just getting rid of the Marxist-in-chief and keep the heat on all Republicans.
It's a plan, not the best. But, it will work and probably save the country.
I've maintained all along that any Republican could beat Obama. I'm starting to doubt that belief.
Good afternoon!
Rush takes more time off then I can count!
You know truth is Newt has won each and every debate. He is the smartest guy on the block. But as we all know he is going nowhere since we never know which Newt will wake up in the morning.
You know, it struck me yesterday that all the Euro and the European Union is is one great big macro-Socialist experiment. It's redistribution of wealth on a global scale—rich countries propping up and bailing out poorer/more irresponsible ones. (Though it's getting increasingly hard to find a truly "responsible" country, fiscally speaking.)
I think that's what the elites have in mind for us in the not-too-distant future.
Noot d'adulterer supported Crap and Trade. But he was the only grown up in the room.
I honestly don't know what to do.
I nearly had a heart attack when I heard that.
Same here. Was that an inside joke, ie, maybe Rush got a LOT of e-mails complaining about the awful Mark Davis recently substituting for Rush? Or was it a tease, so that when listeners heard Mark Steyn's voice, we felt relieved, and not so ticked off that Rush is taking yet another day off today?
You got any of their names and numbers....
I suspect Mark S. reads FR, and is well aware of Rush listeners' disdain for Mark D.
BTW, anyone else wondering who Barry has riding on that bus with him....?
Zero got mega bucks from Wall Street last time. This time he will still get some but our side will probably get a lot more. Occupy whatever does not sit well with anyone who can walk and chew gum at the same time.
There are some pretty slick guys on the street,rumors are that they are not into the occupy BS.
OMG just too good!!!
Don't lower them too low. JR is Zotting Mittens supporters.
Same here, this is the first weekday I've been off from work in months and months and months. I was so looking forward to listening to a full 3 hours of Rush.
Dang! Darn it! Dang! Dang!
