Obsession ~ Bono
"See, the thing about us is that we like each other. It's almost the biggest thing you can say." - Bono
As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.
Bono was born on May 10, 1960 in the sunny isle of Dublin, Ireland. Originally christened Paul Hewson, "Bono Vox" was given to him as a nickname early on by his closest childhood friend, Guggi. The rumor goes that after seeing a hearing aid store, Guggi thought it would suit his buddy to a "t". Bono Vox, means "Good Voice" in cockeyed Latin. It stuck from that moment on, although shortened into the now infamous Bono.
Bono spent his childhood in Dublin and is the younger son of Bobby and Iris Hewson. His older brother Norman and Bono shared a strong bond over the years and survived the loss of both parents. Bono's mother died of a brain aneurysm while attending her father's own funeral. Bono was devastated and has since left a long lasting heartbreaking affect. Bono was just 15 years old. Then, later, in 1991, Bobby Hewson passed away after a long battle with cancer.
Bono was an extremely charming kid growing up and traveled among the cliques of High School effortlessly and with disarming ease. Although his grades struggled, he had a particular fascination with history, art and enjoyed the strategic engagement of chess. Considered a "player" back in the day, Bono never had trouble seducing young ladies. An apparent gift he was born into, and if you ask any of his adoring fans that have had the pleasure of dancing with him on stage, they would most likely agree. He happily went from one beautiful conquest to another, until he helplessly laid eyes on one Alison Stewart. Once,her heart was securely his, the rest became history. Bono and Ali were married in 1982 and have four children they raise together in Dublin.
Bono knew early on that music was his passion and realized this is where his destiny lay. In 1976, he answered an ad seeking someone who would be interested in starting a band. The home where the supposed meeting was to take place, happened to belong to Larry Mullen, Jr. Lucky for us, they clicked immediately and Rock History was about to be made.
During U2's early years, Bono, apparently liking the art of disguise and the grandeur of taking on different personas to match his particular moods, gradually made his way through a batch of appropriate alter-egos. From the Antichrist, Alton Dalton, The Sonic Leprechaun, The Fly, The Mother Theresa of Abandoned Songs, The Mirror Ball, and Mister MacPhisto. Bono's flair for the dramatics has always been part of his charisma.
One of the best Rock Performers of our time, Bono is a master of drawing his audiences into his world. As the lead singer and sometime guitar player of an incredibly prolific and indestructible rock bands of all time, U2, Bono has electrified his audience and given stage performances that are both mystical and for some spiritual.
Bono also makes it a priority to use his time well. As a public speaker, screenwriter, and amateur thespian of sorts, he brings truth and inspiration to his causes. Most notably is his powerful and respected role as humanitarian. Bono has lent his name to worthwhile causes and projects, and has become a leading activist.
Bono continues to use his fame to enlist actors and artists alike to make a true change in the life of millions. Third World Debt has been his priority and has enabled him to win such awards as the "Free Your Mind" accolade, that was presented to him by Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones. This lead Bono to declare "This is only going to make me worse."
U2 is a powerhouse band that is as relevant today as when they first began their successful conquest of the world in 1981. U2 has a new album due out early 2009 and continues to gain massive appeal and critical acclaim.
My heroes are the ones who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them.
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
It's so sweet, I feel like my teeth are rotting when I listen to the radio.
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono and Alison Stewart married in 1982 and have never looked back. They have four beautiful children, Jordan born in May of 1989 Memphis Eve born in July of 1991, Elijah Patricius Q. Guggi born August of 1999 and John Abraham born in May of 2001. Bono lost his father after a long-standing battle with cancer on August 21, 2001. During the European end of the Elevation tour, Bono gave emotional performances and paid tribute to his dad during each concert. Bono and Ali raise their children in Dublin, in the suburb of Killiney. An exclusive area, where the rest of the band also reside.
The less you know, the more you believe.
To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.
We thought that we had the answers, it was the questions we had wrong.

"Let's Make Poverty History" ~ Bono
Bono ~ Quoted on Religion
The Gospels paint a picture of a very demanding, sometimes divisive love, but love it is.
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
The Church has its problems, but the older I get, the more comfort I find there.
It's a mind-blowing concept that the God who created the universe might be looking for company, a real relationship with people, but the thing that keeps me on my knees is the difference between Grace and Karma.
It's clear to me that Karma is at the very heart of the universe. I'm absolutely sure of it. And yet, along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that "as you reap, so you will sow" stuff.
Grace defies reason and logic. Love interrupts, if you like, the consequences of your actions, which in my case is very good news indeed, because I've done a lot of stupid stuff.
Religion can be the enemy of God.
Even though I'm a believer, I still find it really hard to be around other believers: They make me nervous, they make me twitch. I sorta watch my back. Except when I'm with the black church.
God has some really weird kids, and I find it hard to be in their company most of the time.
The music that really turns me on is either running toward God or away from God
. As a rock star, I have two instincts, I want to have fun, and I want to change the world. I have a chance to do both.
The aggression thing is something I'm still working at. That level of aggression, both outside and inside, is not normal or appropriate.
Music was an alarm bell for me, it woke me up to the world
U2 is an original species... there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone.
Great hub! Very informative and thorough, and I love the quotes and pictures. Nice tribute to one of the greatest human beings on the planet.
Super hub, as the frontman of the greatest rock band of his generation (and possibly all-time) Bono is responsible for amazing music. He uses his celebrity status to try to help others. The guy is an inspiration.
pee ppp p p peee
poooo pooo pooo pooo pooo
Summer10, thanks for the bio on Bono. U2 is my favorite group (followed closely by Collective Soul), so I always enjoy a bit of info on the members. I don't go to a lot of concerts, but the ones I have gone to don't compare to a U2 show. They are amazing entertainers and I have always appreciated and loved that they put purpose and meaning into most of their music.
I look forward to the newest album.
Bono is the only celebrity I care to meet! What a unique human being! So deep and puts meaning into his work. I'm glad I share his birthday!
I met a guy who met U2 when they were just starting out and came to the Seattle area for a concert. This must have been the late 70s/early 80s. They wanted another bassist, as you know they were for a while dissatisfied with Adam Clayton. Well, they asked my friend if he wanted to be their bassist and he turned them down!!! Can you believe it! He thought they weren't that good. I bet he's kicking himself now!

The Arizona Cardinals are considering drafting local
collegiate talent in the upcoming NFL Draft.
to ProFootballTalk, several players have scheduled
either private workouts and/or visits to the Cardinals
facility leading up to the draft. Two of them are local
products: ASU cornerback Omar Bolden and Arizona wide
receiver Juron Criner.
Bolden, who missed the entire 2011 season due to a knee
injury, is currently projected as a third round selection.
The 5-foot-10, 202-pounder possesses the physical presence
that defensive coordinator Ray Horton covets. Bolden also
offers value as a kick returner, after enjoying success at
ASU in that capacity. Bolden averaged 30.8 yards on 17
kick returns during his Sun Devil career. The Cardinals
may have interest, if Bolden falls a little further down
the draft board.
Criner, a wide receiver who hails from the University of
Arizona, has emerged as a threat in the red zone. The
6'3″, 224-pound senior caught 75 passes for 956 yards
during his senior season in Tucson and set a new standard
for career touchdown catches by a Wildcat with 32. Criner
doesn't have the best wheels, but his size and blocking
skills have him projecting to be taken in the third or
fourth rounds.
While the Cardinals have a certain affinity for players
from Arizona universities, they have also scheduled
workouts with Old Dominion defensive tackle Ronnie
Cameron, Virginia defensive end Matt Conrath, Bethune-
Cookman linebacker Ryan Davis, Virginia Tech cornerback
Jayron Hosley and Illinois safety Tavon Wilson.

Washington: Post-menopausal women, treated with epidural steriod shots for relief from backache, suffered significant bone density loss in their hip, says a study.
Bone density loss after six months was six times greater when compared to the typical bone density loss seen in a year in a post-menopausal woman who doesn`t receive steroid injection, according to researchers.
An epidural shot involves the passage of painkilling drugs into the small of your back via a fine tube, numbing the concerned part and providing you with effective pain relief, the journal Spine reported.
Shlomo Mandel, a Henry Ford Hospital orthopaedic physician, who led study, says physicians should exercise caution prescribing an epidural steroid for select patients, suggesting that multiple injections may compromise bone strength, according to a Henry Ford statement.
"The findings of our study suggest that epidural steroid injections for back pain relief should be approached cautiously in patients at risk for bone fragility," Mandel said.
Backache is one of the most common medical conditions, affecting eight out of 10 people at some point of their lives. As people age, their spine ages with them, causing degenerative changes in the spine.
Patients are typically treated with anti-inflammatory drugs and physical therapy. If symptoms persist, an epidural steroid is often prescribed to alleviate pain and improve function. However, steroid use has been linked to diminished bone quality.

Ghaut scenery, with distant view of railway cutting.
Photographer: Scott, Charles
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1858
This photograph was taken by Captain C. Scott in the late 1850s and published in an album entitled 'Views on the Bhore Ghaut, shewing some of the Railway Cuttings' (J. Hogarth, London, 1860). The railway connecting Thana through the Thal and Bhor Ghat inclines was the initiative of George Clark, Chief Engineer of the Bombay Government. The Great Indian Peninsula Railway Company developed the scheme in the 1840s and the Bhor Ghat pass was opened in 1861 as the main route over the Western Ghats, linking the sea coast with the Deccan.


text: Hey, so we just put a duck breast on the menu and no matter how long I let it rest, it still weeps all over the plate. This is my first time cooking duck breast on the line, and I can't seem to get it to look nice. I even gave one 10 minutes to rest, and it still wept all over the sauce, garnish and plate and looks terribly sloppy. Do you guys have any tips on how to help this issue? (By the way, here is my procedure - would love any tips or improvements on getting the best product) -Score skin, season both sides -render over low to med-low heat in cast iron (usually takes 7-10 minutes) -place on cold sizzle tray skin side down into 500 degree oven until med-rare (approximately 5 minutes) -Remove from oven and rest skin side up for as long as possible (but at least 4 minutes or so) Already a ridiculously long pickup - also could use help with that! Again, this is my first time with duck breast, so any help would be much appreciated!

The Farmer
Juana Godoy learned how to farm from her mother, and she started working at age 14. Her 37 years of experience have allowed her to turn every part of an animal into profits: hoofs and bones get turned into animal feed; lard is sold for soap making; intestines become sausage casing. She even rents out her house to complement her income when she's not busy working at the nearby market or cooking for her husband and six children.
Even so, it wasn't until Accion Partner Fundación Paraguaya gave Juana a loan that her business took off. With the additional profits, she's expanded her house and built several rooms to rent. She's also been able to purchase machinery and a truck to make purchases and deliveries.

Yes we can coffee!
The holidays are behind us, all presents are unwrapped, the Christmas tree dismantled and decorations stored away, we even got rid of the pine needles on the rug, "les buches de Noël" made room for "les gateaux des rois" at the bakery, winter sales have started today. All signs the new year has begun. But let me get back to the holidays one more time. Right before we left for the holidays, I found this present in our mailbox: the Obama "Yes we can coffee". It was definitely this season's coolest present! So, thank you, Liz, for thinking of me. It was MUCH appreciated! When I told M. I would brew some coffee from it on the 20th of January, which is not only inauguration day but also K.'s birthday, she got a little upset. She thinks we should leave the package as is. It's way too special to be cut open, she said. Initially a Hilary-fan she turned into a real Obama-adept. A couple of days ago, she spent some time in her room working on an Obama-report. Not because she had to for school. No, just because...
As to me, I'm a bit puzzled now whether to open the package or not? I have a little less than two weeks left to make up my mind...

I can't decide whether or not to open my own bag either! I'm glad you liked it -- when I saw it I thought of you. My favorite part is the blend of Hawaiian, Indonesian and Kenyan coffees. I wish I could be sharing a cup with you next Tuesday. Instead I'll be here alone (Tom and Adam are leaving for 2 weeks in Sydney on the 19th). xo, L

New Delhi: The ongoing debate over whether to send Sushil Kumar or Narsingh Yadav for the upcoming Rio Olympics in Rio is yet to reach its conclusion.
While Sushil's name was not included in the list of probables sent to Indian Olympics Association (IOA) by Wrestling Federation of India (WFI), the two-time medalist has requested for fresh trials between the two to decide the best candidate to represent India at the Olympics.
Here is all you need to know about the issue:
Narsingh earned his ticket for the Rio Olympics by clinching a bronze medal at the World Wrestling Championships in Las Vegas last year in 74kg division freestyle wrestling.
According to the rules, the one winning the quota represents the country at Olympics.
Sushil did not participate in that event due to a shoulder injury.
Sushil, who previously competed in the 66kg category, had to switch to the 74kg category due to international wrestling federation's decision to merge weight categories in 2013.
Earlier, fighting for his case, Sushil said that the WFI should hold fresh trials to decide and send the best wrestler to the prestigious games.
"All I am asking for is trials. I am not saying that you send me to Rio because of my glorious past. I am only saying that whoever between me and Narsingh is better, should represent the country at Olympics. Since a quota belongs to the country and not to a particular individual, thus, when there are two good contenders, there must be a fair trial. There is a procedure that should be followed," Sushil told PTI.
"Even the reigning world and Olympic champion Jordan Burroughs had to undergo trials to make it to the US team for the Rio Games. It happens everywhere," he added.
On the other hand, Sushil Kumar too, deserves to get a final chance to contest through fresh trials as he is the only Indian Olympian to have won two medals at the biggest sporting extravaganza.
Meanwhile on Thursday, Sports Minister Sarbananda Sonowal refused to be drawn into the raging controversy on the Olympic participation of wrestlers Sushil Kumar and Narsingh Yadav, saying he won't "interfere" in the matter and it has to be resolved by the Federation.
WFI has so far not clarified on the issue, leaving room for speculation and controversy.

London escorts: The outstanding strategies of flirting
There is nothing more demoralizing, futile or limiting your flirting agenda than having a fixed agenda about who your ideal partner must be. It is really unfortunate to constantly miss out on relationships because you are saving yourself for that elusive ideal guy or female. London escorts from https://www.londonxcity.com/escorts said that by keeping an open mind instantly opens up a much bigger pool of possible flirtations. If this looks like an action too far then try speaking to your friends who are happily dating and inquire if their partners are perfect. What you will find surprising is the quantity of individuals who specify they didn't even consider their current partners as dating potential. Another choice is to keep a small list of undesirable qualities that you wish to prevent instead of a long list of best partner attributes. Simply remember to keep the list little though.
Flirting mindsets range from 2 extremes, from those people who will not flirt until the other individual has actually shown they really expensive them to flirting with everybody until someone responds. Plainly both attitudes have their own set of problems. It may seem safe but the happy medium is the best location to begin your flirting endeavors and will offer you with the greatest opportunity to meet your perfect partner. If you are somebody who is more reserved in your flirting you have to press your comfort levels to gain more success. London escorts want you to make a point of being friendly with everyone you meet either at work or socially. If you don't meet many people during your normal everyday regular then push your convenience zones and make a point of going to brand-new places to fulfill individuals. Don't you can flirt while you shop? If you flirt with everybody but can't seem to discover your best date you may have to rule in a few of your flirting activities. Let's face it if you see someone you like but they are too busy flirting with everyone else then you are not likely to take their advances seriously. In your case, less is more.
Rejection is the biggest fear for both males and females in relation to flirting. Let's face it rejection itself can be a crippling thing to deal with but it is the fear of rejection that is even more destructive as it can paralyze you into inaction. Both genders experience this fear of rejection but men have the tendency to feel more at threat as they have the tendency to be the ones that start the a flirtation. By having a positive attitude and increasing your opportunities of approval will greatly reduce the threat of actual rejection and therefore overcoming your worry of rejection. The key to beginning an effective flirtation is to guarantee the individual you are flirting with can see you are acting differently with them than with everybody else around them. When making eye contact, take a look at them longer than you would everyone else in the space. London escorts want you to stand closer to them and when you smile at them ensure it is longer than with anybody else in the room. By making things apparent you are telling the other person you are interested however before pushing it up a notch make certain they are reciprocating your attention.

Towards a More Inclusive Astronomy (TaMIA)
This relatively new journal club started in 2015, and is led by a group of graduate students and a post doc. There are meetings twice a month, where we will have an opportunity for both a safe space for discussion among underrepresented or marginalized groups, as well as a broader discussion with the whole department about related topics. The purpose is to have a structured, supportive space to talk and learn about these issues in a constructive manner that centers the experiences of those most vulnerable to the problem at hand.
Women in Astronomy
This group meets once a month for lunch to talk about issues in the department and the wider astronomy community. This group also meets with female colloquium speakers to talk about their career paths and to get their advice on career-life balance, networking, navigating a male-dominated field, and other issues.
Additional suggestions for ways that the department can become more inclusive and supportive are welcome. To become involved in these efforts, or for more information on the available resources, please feel free to contact:

A Celestial Ceiling in a Black & White Playroom
Project by: Barette Widell of Widell Designs
Location: Flourtown, Pennsylvania
Designed by interior decorators Widell Designs, the kid's playroom for a 5-year-old features a constellation of animals on the ceiling, built in shelves and desks, a pint-sized tepee and interactive chalkboard. The designers Barette and Christina explain, "the client really had no vision in mind, so we were able to run wild with ours… starting with the ceiling."
The space is designed to be both fun and functional for mom and child, a room they could grow with throughout the years. Many of the decor and furniture pieces came from Land of Nod and Homegoods.
Thanks, Barette!

In this area of technology, America is far behind Asian countries that are able to use their cell phones as a credit card and convenience stores in addition to other cool things. Needless to say, we are far behind even though many of those features such as the feature that allows you to send an avatar when you call people seem entirely pointless. All the money handling capabilities of these phones seem a tad bit scary. Just having access to all your financial data available on such an easily misplaced item seems too risky. I've lost my phone a few times before and never was too worried about finding it since my phone contained nothing extremely personal or dangerous. But, one of the newest phone ideas out there could be coming to the states after a trip around Asia. Samsung has come out with a new phone called the Show and Logic also created the same type of phone called the Bolt. The unique thing about these phones is that they have a built-in projector. The projector is made by Texas Instruments utilizing their DLP technology that is now used in some movie theaters to enhance video. The screen can reach a beautiful picture at the good size of 50 inches; the size of a big screen TV!
I don't know about anyone else, but I think this is awesome. I always am taking crazy pictures and videos with my friends. When I go to show them to multiple people, problems arise. Elbows are being wedge between people to try to get a closer look before a fight breaks out over who should be the closest to the video only to be resolved by my agreeing to view the same media a multitude of times. So often have I wished I could just put it on a television for all to see. Alas, that would be another cord I wouldn't carry around with me anyway defeating the entire purpose of purchasing it in the first place. The convenience to create a larger screen on any flat surface appeals to me. It just makes sharing media quicker and easier which is how every piece of technology evolves. The biggest problem I see is cost. Few people are going to want to hand out the few extra hundred just to get a projector in their phone. It may be a good investment for business people who are constantly giving presentations, but not a good one for the common person. Plus, DLP technology is fairly fragile. I'd be worried that if I simply had the phone slip out of my pocket and onto a hard floor, the projector would be broken. Don't forget that the projector would eat up all your battery life just to turn on. It better come with extra batteries for those giving presentations with their phone; they don't want to have to stop a presentation early and just go by memory only because the battery died.
All in all, a projector phone could be a great idea if they manage to cut the cost to produce it while keeping reliability intact. I don't see how it could become mainstream, at least in America, anytime soon. We may have to wait years before this becomes available and affordable to the American public. The people willing to use their phone to manage finance will love this addition to the countless things their phone is already capable of doing.

"English publication edited by Dr. Timothy Kircher, "Guilford College, of the 1986 work Existenz, Denken, Stil: Perspektiven einer Grundbeziehung. Dargestellt am Werk Sørens Kierkegaards (Berlin: Walter de Gruyter Verlag).
"I consider the work extraordinary, because it develops seriously the insight that since Kierkegaard we have come to realize how relevant the mode of existence of a philosopher is to his philosophizing. On the basis of this insight the author derives an understanding of style that has in view this very correspondence of thought and mode of existence. On account of the irreparable breach of the ideal identity between. thought and being, it is necessary to perceive existence, which is constantly present in language as a mediator, whenever it yields itself in temporal expression. This revelation occurs in the perception of style. In seems to me that the author's thesis possesses great heuristic value."— Bernhard Casper. Freiburg in Breisgau

"Our Splendid Misery": Louisa Catherine Adams in the White House
Many Americans have strong opinions about the White House. It is simultaneously a government building housing the executive branch and a private dwelling for the president and his family. As its care and maintenance falls to the public, both public access to and perception of this building, and its inhabitants, has long been a sensitive subject.
In April 1825, Louisa Catherine Adams wrote a colorful letter to her son, Charles Francis, on her impressions upon moving into the White House:
It is and has been ever since I first saw the House a matter of wonder to me how a Lady of so much delicacy as Mrs. Monroe could endure to live in a house in which I declare from what I saw she had not the comforts of any private mechanic's family and I believe it would be difficult to find such an assortment of rags and rubbish even in an Alms House as was exhibited to the Publick after their departure—
The State of things was such that knowing the impression on the publick mind concerning the general splendour of the Mansion I thought it best to throw open the House and by admitting the people to see it in the real state correct the absurd and preposterous notions which had gone abroad by giving them the opportunity to judge for themselves— Some people pretend I have done wrong but as we are pretty much in the situation of the Man and his Ass in the Fable I do not care at all who likes or who dislikes. I respect my Masters the Sovereign People with great sincerity but I am not so much alarmed at the idea of going out at the end of four yeas as to desire to make any sacrifice of actual comfort for the sake of prolonging my sojourn in this would be magnificent habitation which after all like every thing else in this desolate City is but an half finished Barn— . . . I am obliged to close my Letter with a wish that you had seen our splendid misery which on the subject of Internal improvement certainly would have inspired you to do it ample justice—
Louisa's lively wit, jabbing at her new residence, the public's misimpressions, along with a controversial political topic of the day, internal improvements, reveals a political climate not so far removed from our own.

On Friday I posted one of those long and rambling round-ups of random Irish beers I'd found in the pubs of Dublin. It had been in the drafts folder for quite a while and by the time I had it scheduled I had already built up enough scattered material for another one. So, bringing us momentarily up to date, we have...
Scarecrow, brand spanking new from Galway Bay and billed as a "hoppy farmhouse ale" of 5.5% ABV. It was served up in a 33cl measure in Alfie Byrne's, a translucent pale orange colour. The aroma is a strange mix of fruit and funk, like a barrel of peaches on the turn. A slight tip-of-the-tongue tartness opens the foretaste, followed quickly by an avalanche of peaches. I know flavour analogues are a very flawed way of describing tastes but the blast of peaches I got from this felt very real: the succulent chewy flesh, the extra bitterness of the skin and even that slight woody note from the bits around the stone. Total, hi-def, peach. Beside this there's the rough-grained rustic crunch of classic Belgian saison, finishing with a spritz of sweet and spicy jasmine perfume. It's a fun and playful beer, complex, interesting and clean. I don't know that saison needed the big hop treatment, but sure why not?
The remains of this round-up come to you, unsurprisingly, from 57 The Headline.
Two new ones from Trouble for starters: Jack D'RIPA is a 5.8% ABV hopped-up rye red ale and, at €6.80 a pint, priced for the gambler. I hedged my bets with a half and was glad I did. Yeast bite has become Trouble's signature flavour now and can be pretty much relied upon to ruin every new release of theirs. I can't help wondering if the rapid sequence of new beers lately means that each one is not getting the time in the tanks it needs to come out clean. Peering around the muckiness, as I usually have to, there's another decent beer here: classic grassy rye and a twang of leafy hops. The aroma is fresh and spicy citrus, from a hop bill that includes Mosaic, Citra, Simcoe and Azacca, but the fun flavours that these varieties can usually be relied on for don't really materialise. There is a bitter finish, but it comes from the interfering yeast, not the hopping.
I'm really looking forward to Trouble getting their mojo back. I hope it's soon.
Moving on to Black's of Kinsale, who are continuing their single-hop series with Equinox Rye IPA. To put things simply, it tastes of sausages. There's a savoury rusk base and herbs beyond this, for a flavour that is highly reminiscent of seasoned meat. I enjoyed it, as I enjoy a nicely herbed sausage, but it didn't deliver the hop hit I was expecting.
The fourth and final IPA for this post is one of the session variety: Happy Days from Rascals. At 4.1% ABV it's heading towards the upper strength limits of this sub-style but is still a little bit thin in the mouth, something presaged by its watery pale yellow appearance. As with every session IPA, I apply the Little Fawn Test to it: does this taste like Little Fawn? And no, unfortunately it doesn't. Other than a lightly spritzy aroma, the hops are rather muted in it and are definitely behind the door when it comes to the flavour. I get a mineral metallic bitterness, which is pleasant, but not really worthy of the IPA designation, session or otherwise. It's decent thirst-quenching fare, but a bit more hop kick would be appreciated.
I'm not sure who brews Celtic Ard Rí Aon Whiskey Cask Matured Red Ale, but as far as I know it's produced as the house beer for the Celtic Whiskey Bar in Killarney (all corrections welcome in the comments). It's 6.4% ABV and a clear copper colour. The oak is a huge part of the flavour, being clean and mannerly to begin with but there's a hefty dollop of buttery vanilla with it as well. After a moment or two I was reminded of Innis & Gunn, a similarity which grew stronger as the beer warmed up. Like Innis & Gunn it's not a beer I want to drink very much of as it gets thick and sickly quite quickly. For a beer built around its whiskey theme there's really not much of a whiskey element beyond the oaky vanilla and I wouldn't regard it as a particularly good example of what barrel ageing can bring to a beer. But if it keeps the whiskey people happy perhaps that's all that's required.
Bringing up the rear, I just managed to catch the tail end of Two Sides Wakey Wakey coffee porter before it ran out. For this, Two Sides have availed of the services of 5 Lamps Brewery, just a couple of streets away from 57.
There are those who criticise coffee beers when they just end up tasting like cold coffee. Not me, though. Though far from a coffee fanatic, I do like when all the complexity of coffee's flavour comes through in a coffee beer: the oily beans and the light red fruit in particular. And this delivers all of that, as well as a smooth creaminess. It's low on roast and bitterness, and there's only the faintest trace of the simple base porter behind. The main thing it delivers is freshness, the heady aromatic burst of newly-ground beans. It is very aptly named.
I got to know Oliver through my work with Irish Craft Brewer and later Beoir and always found him generous, knowledgeable and entertaining. There's no doubt that the broadness of Irish beer expressed here wouldn't exist without his influence. He will be sadly missed.
O'Hara's Imperial Stout - *Origin: Ireland | Date: 2016 | ABV: 10% | On The Beer Nut: March 2016* A new era begins on *Stash Killer!* today. The beers that had been languishing in t...

Calling all customers: prepare to lighten your wallets. St. John's has recently become the birthing ground for an innovation in customer loyalty.
Local entrepreneur and business graduate Matthew Stenback, 24, has teamed up with marketing graduate Adam Puddicombe, 23, to launch Brownie Points, a free online application that acts like a virtual punch card, building engagement between local businesses and their customers.
Like most apps, the main objective is to make the complicated simple. It eliminates the endless stream of plastic reward cards by creating one centralized online platform that works efficiently with today's ubiquitous mobile devices.
Each business that signs up with Brownie Points becomes part of the network. They receive a tablet computer, which sits beside the cash register and acts like a scanner. When a customer buys a product, they simply open the app on their smartphone, scan the code and collect points to receive rewards.
Alternatively, those who don't have smartphones receive a Brownie Points card, which also connects them to the online hub.
"The idea is that you're giving people a sense of progress," says Stenback. "The fact that you feel like you're earning something gives you this additional goal or reason to do it."
The primary motive, he says, is to create communities for local businesses across Canada - a series of networks linking independent business owners to their dedicated clientele.
"I've always really loved the local shop scene and wanted to open my own store," he says. "With my experience in design and development, I realized this was the perfect way to leverage my passion with my skill."
Helping hand
Stenback began developing Brownie Points in the summer of 2011 during an entrepreneurial work term with Memorial University's business program, known as SIFE.
When he pitched the program to the SIFE Memorial Innovation Challenge, he was awarded $2,500 start-up capital from sponsor Cox and Palmer and free office space at Launch Pad, the university's entrepreneurial incubation centre.
With a boost of start-up capital and space for creative invention, Stenback set out to make his entrepreneurial dream a reality. Since his reward, he's been working around the clock to prepare Brownie Points for the big reveal.
From developing the backend and designing the interface to perfecting user experience and scheduling client meetings, Stenback says that, like every new entrepreneur, he's had to wear many hats.
"I was a one-man wrecking crew," he says.
Recognizing the need for a Brownie Points liaison, Stenback partnered up with Puddicombe in April 2013, who became responsible for the marketing and sales side of Brownie Points.
Puddicombe boasts about the new venture, describing how his excitement comes from being an integral part of the progress.
"There's something so rewarding about building your own start-up from the ground up," he says.
"It gives us a sense of progress and purpose that we likely wouldn't find working for a big company."
Trial run
In February 2013, Stenback took Brownie Points to the public sphere with an initial "beta phase," which saw just a few businesses in St. John's featuring the app in store.
The beta phase was like a Brownie Points trial run, introducing the idea and giving the team time to seek sufficient funding for tablets and additional hires.
One of the beta stores was Post Espresso on Water Street. When Stenback approached him about the idea, owner David Bowden says he was immediately drawn to the legitimacy, impressive esthetics and local network incentive that Brownie Points had to offer.
"I liked that it was a local company," says Bowden. "They are ambitious young minds who want to take their local business to the next level, and that's why I trust them. I think we're like-minded people."
Since Brownie Points has been set up, Bowden says customers have responded very positively to the new technology.
"I find there's a newfound excitement when people come to the cash," he says. "People like having the opportunity to track their progress, and I think that very incentive is what makes this a powerful tool."
Stenback says creating this incentive empowers the consumer, which inevitably leads to stronger relationships with businesses.
"If you want a tool like this to be successful, customers need to own it," he says. "We eventually want customers to have profile pages, so they are recognized at stores and praised for their progress as they earn rewards."
The next step, Stenback says, is to launch a pilot program, from which he aims to enlist up to 50 businesses across St. John's and Mount Pearl. This will create a tightly-knit base from which Brownie Points will effectively grow.
"The whole purpose of the pilot is to prove that the concept can work here," says Stenback.
"If we can create a strong network of local businesses within one city, we can take Brownie Points to the next level."
Investment stage
This next level, he says, is pitching the concept to an angel investor, who will help launch Brownie Points off the ground to the national scope. After first building bases in Halifax and the rest of Atlantic Canada, Brownie Points will eventually land in bigger city centres, gradually building networks across the country and beyond.
This method of expansion, which Stenback refers to as a "conquest strategy," is crucial to the tool's philosophy. Rather than sporadically introducing Brownie Points to random cities across the country, the idea is to build one base at a time - pick one area and conquer it, before moving to the next.
"It's like putting up a wall against competitors," he says. "To get the benefits of that network effect, you need a concentrated number of spots in a targeted area."
Amongst this list of competitors is Perka, a Portland-based online loyalty program that has already partnered with businesses across Canada - including seven in Toronto and two in Vancouver. While their numbers are growing quickly in the U.S. and Canada, Stenback says Perka is not a long-term threat.
"They partner with businesses all over at any time, which is ideal for quick expansion," says Stenback. "But our strategy is about creating a community in one specific area, and building long-term relationships."
Stenback says he hopes the tightly knit culture of St. John's will help build this initial base.
"It's like two degrees of separation here," he says. "There are pockets of connected people everywhere, but the city of St. John's is that one unified pocket. We are all very connected."
The pilot phase is set to kick off this summer. In the meantime, Stenback says he is continuously improving the product and discovering new ways to engage consumers and businesses, such as implementing push notifications and statistics functions.
Eventually businesses will have the option of sending push notifications to their regulars about new deals or rewards offers," he says. "It all falls under that idea of engagement with the consumer, and maintaining that two-way flow of communication."
Every detail, Stenback says, ultimately leads to one fundamental goal.
"We want to build networks," he says. "Eliminate the faceless consumer, give people meaningful choices and bridge the gap between the people and the product."
Brownie Points is currently being offered in Post Espresso at 168 Water St. in St. John's, Happy Hummus Hut at 208 Duckworth St. in St. John's, and Clay Cafe at 39 Commonwealth Ave. in Mount Pearl.

Elizabethtown College Men's Track and Field
Elizabethtown Places 13th at NCAA Division III Indoor Championships; Kevin Clark Wins Pole Vault, Becomes First Individual National Champion from Etown in 25 Years; Drew Graybeal Places Fifth, Earns All-America Status in 800m; Patrick Donovan Finishes 10th in Nation in Mile
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. --- For the first time in a quarter of a century, there is an NCAA Division III individual champion from Elizabethtown College. Elizabethtown junior Kevin Clark (Horsham, PA/Hatboro-Horsham) won the pole vault competition at the 2007 NCAA Division III Indoor Track & Field Championships in Terre Haute, Ind. Saturday afternoon to become the first Blue Jay individual national champion in any sport since 1982 and the first ever for the Etown track & field program. As a team, the Elizabethtown men finished 13th out of 57 scoring teams with a total of 14 points, marking the second year in a row that Elizabethtown has finished among the top 15 in the nation in the NCAA Division III Indoor Championships. Making the feat even more remarkable is the fact that Elizabethtown College does not have an indoor track on its campus. Both Clark and fellow junior Drew Graybeal (Woodbine, MD/Glenelg) earned All-America honors by placing in the top eight in their respective events at the meet. Graybeal finished fifth in the 800m. Additionally, senior Patrick Donovan (South Pasadena, CA/St. Francis) finished tenth in the nation in the mile run.
Clark won the pole vault in dramatic fashion, clearing the meet's maximum height of 17'1-1/2" on his third and final attempt to win the national title. He and second place finisher Matt Novak of the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse each cleared the previous height of 16'9-1/2" on their second attempts. However, had Clark not cleared the next height, Novak would have won the title, because he had cleared the earlier 16'5-1/2" mark in two attempts, while Clark took three attempts to clear 16'5-1/2."
Clark's winning height of 17'1-1/2" was also a new personal and Elizabethtown program record by 2-3/4 inches, and it was the first time he had ever reached 17' or better in competition. It is the third time in his career that he has earned All-America status in the pole vault, having also achieved the feat in the 2006 indoor and outdoor seasons.
Clark's national title is only the fifth individual national championship ever won by Elizabethtown College athletes. Eric Mast won two individual NCAA Division III national titles for Elizabethtown at 118 pounds in wrestling in 1974 and in 1977. Beckie Donecker and Jen Haifley won an AIAW national championship in women's tennis doubles competition in 1981, and Donecker won an NCAA Division III national championship in women's tennis singles competition in 1982, the most recent Etown individual national title. In recent years, members of the men's and women's track & field teams had come close to winning individual national championships on several occasions, racking up five national runner-up finishes since 2004, with the most recent being Clark's runner-up finish in the pole vault at the 2006 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track & Field Championships.
In the 800m, Graybeal placed fifth in the nation with a final time of 1:54.68 to earn All-America status for the second time in his career. He had also been an All-American as part of Elizabethtown's distance medley relay team at the 2006 NCAA Indoor Championships.
Saturday's 800m final was a close race. National champion Jimmy O'Brien of Ohio Northern University edged out runner-up Geoff Lambert of Wabash College by just 0.36 second, and Graybeal, in fifth place, was just 1.20 seconds off Obrien's winning pace and 0.01 second behind fourth-place finishing Brian Sames of the University of St. Thomas (Minn.).
In Saturday's final of the mile run, Donovan finished 10th in a time of 4:17.50, missing All-America status by just over four seconds. He had also been an All-American in the 2006 indoor distance medley relay, as well as in the 800m at the 2005 NCAA Division III Outdoor Championships. Donovan entered the 2007 Indoor Championships seeded 12th in the mile, and he qualified for Saturday's finals by running a personal best time of 4:13.77 in Friday's preliminaries. Will Leer of Pomona-Pitzer won the 2007 individual title in the mile with a time of 4:08.19.
With another indoor season completed, Elizabethtown will now shift to the outdoor season. The Blue Jays' first meet of the 2007 outdoor track & field season will be the Susquehanna University Jim Taylor Invitational Saturday, March 31.
At Terre Haute, Ind.

text: FTG Writes: At first glance Natural Selection 2 doesn't seem to offer many options. The four maps, two races, and the option to play as either Soldier or Commander are the building blocks that make up Natural Selection 2. Considering the lack of a single-player option the limitation to online team deathmatch does leave a sparse impression. Despite this surface and superficial glance, once the available options are delved into there exists a wide variety of play-style options and nuanced mechanics to be playable by almost any kind of player. Especially in these times when the shooter genre dominates the video game market it's important for developers to create unique products to stand above the rest. For Unknown Worlds the ability to expand upon their existing Natural Selection property, and add upon what was learned before places them with an advantage from many other developers.

Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton has been chosen as Sheriff of the Year by the Kansas Sheriffs Association.
Walton and Wallace County Sheriff Larry Townsend are sharing the 2016 award, according to a statement issued by the association.
Walton was nominated in part for his handling of the mass shooting that occurred at Excel Industries in Hesston on Feb. 25. Excel employee Cedric Ford shot 17 people, three fatally, before being shot to death by Hesston Police Chief Doug Schroeder.
In nominating Walton for the award, Pratt County Sheriff Vernon Chinn said that he "conducted himself in the highest traditions of a Kansas sheriff and lawman, exhibiting extreme courage and professionalism in the face of extreme danger and tremendous challenges."

Seems you can't spend $12.5bn of your own hard-earned cash these days without someone having an opinion about it.
Google's big-money purchase of Motorola, a deal that had nothing whatsoever to do with patents, has attracted the attention of the chaps over at the US Department of Justice, who have requested more info about the deal.
The "Googorola" deal first came to light last month, with Google shocking the tech world with the news that it had agreed to buy out the once-dominant Moto for some Very Big Bills.
Most of us reasoned that it was mainly about securing the phone maker's pile of patents to better protect itself in the current climate of legal battles and royalties deals – though Google itself has refuted this idea.
Either way, the bureaucrats of the DoJ's antitrust division reckon they need "additional information and documentary material" from both Google and Motorola, and it remains to be seen whether it will affect the expected late 2011 or early 2012 wrapping up of the deal we've been promised.
On a side note, anyone remember the movie Antitrust? Ah, those were simpler times...

Foreclosure inventories rise as delinquencies drop in November: LPS
Lender Processing Services (LPS) said the delinquency rate for loans that are 30 or more days past due, but not in foreclosure was 9.02% in November, down nearly 3% from October and down 15.6% from November 2009. Total U.S foreclosure pre-sale inventory rate was 4.08%, up 4.1% from the previous month and up 8% from the year-ago period. LPS, a provider of mortgage industry data and analytics, provided the "first look" from its loan-level database of nearly 40 million mortgage loans. The company said 4.77 million loans are 30 or more days past due, but not in foreclosure. It said 2.16 million loans are 90 or more days delinquent, but not in foreclosure. LPS said 6.93 million properties are 30 days or more delinquent or in some stage of foreclosure. Florida, Nevada, Mississippi, Georgia and New Jersey have the highest percentages of delinquent loans. States with the lowest percentage of deliquent loans were Montana, Wyoming, Alaska and the Dakotas. The company will provide a more in-depth review of is mortgage data in its monthly Mortgage Monitor report later in the month. Write to Kerry Curry.

History Of Fishing Boats
The sport of fishing is popular around the world with the history of fishing boats dating back to the early 1800's. The earliest fishing boats were simply made with natural materials like tree bark, reeds, tree logs and tar, sometimes even a dugout tree trunk. Before engines were added to the fishing boats, they were operated by only sail and oars. Ten of them in the history of boats are listed below.
- Raft . The most basic types of the fishing boats were made with a simple design that has no hull. By placing several logs or bamboo next to each other and securing them together, the raft was either rowed or punted along with a long push pole.
- Canoe. Among the oldest boats in history of fishing were the canoes and were mainly dug out from some type of coniferous tree log. Canoes have been traced by an archeological excavation to almost 9000 years ago in the Neolithic Period.
- Pontoon. The type of boat with a flat bottom that is supported by two cylinders and creates a floating platform for fishing and cruising is called a pontoon. It was first invented by Ambrose Weeres in Minnesota and is very popular today with avid recreational fishermen.
- Coracle. Coracles are within the early history of fishing boats and are very light boats that are shaped round like a bowl. They are typically constructed with reeds, woven grass, tree bark or animal hides. Coracles have been used by Julius Caesar and also have been depicted in Assyrian palaces on sculptured panels.
- Jangada. The Jangada is an ancient Greek discovery that is still used by fishermen in northern Brazil waters. This type of elegant planked boat has a triangular sail called lateen. The fluid dynamics allow the boat to sail effectively against the wind and use the pressure difference for an advantage.
- Reed boat. Reed boats are made from reeds and are made to be watertight for extended fishing and hunting. They date back to around 7000 years ago with the earliest one located in Kuwait. In Bolivia and Peru, they actually have floating houses that are held up by islands made of reeds and tar.
- Sailboat. After the fishing boat development began to surface, the earliest of navigators began to use woven fabrics or animal skins for sails. By affixing them to an upright pole, the sails caught the wind and allowed an even bigger range for exploration voyage for the fisherman.
- Rowboat. Many fishing boats today are basic row boats. These types of boats are primarily powered by the use of paddles by one or two passengers. The paddlers sit facing forward and use either a single blade or a double blade paddle to move themselves to their fishing destination.
- Pirogue. The flat bottom design of this small boat comes from Louisiana. It has a lightweight advantage that allows it to be carried effortlessly onto land, punted in the shallow waters, turned for draining water and easily moved through marshy areas.
- Bass boat. This fiberglass or aluminum boat is one of the best in the history of fishing boats because of the ability to handle better and to house outboard motors. The modern invention of the bass boat allows fishing from swivel chairs for better casting, built in storage bins for tackle and live wells to store and keep your catch alive.

As New Hampshire's unemployment rate crept up another two-tenths of a point in May and state lawmakers passed a budget in June that included a slew of tax and fee increases, many conservative groups are putting aside their differences and rallying to the same banner — the economy — and more specifically, spending.
"There is an urgency and necessity for us all to pull together," said Cornerstone Director Kevin Smith, whose organization promoted a Concord TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party rally on June 24 — the day the Legislature passed the biennial state budget.
He said the state's Republicans are beginning to make strides.
"We're all working very well together now, even though we all still have our little niches," Smith said.
His organization promotes conservative values and also recently opposed gay marriage in the state.
"A lot of Republicans get a bad rap because we're not inclusive," said Rep. Fran Wendelboe, R-New Hampton. "I think it's because we don't want to be devoured and become moderate."
For her, the core of Republicanism is the various conservative groups in the state, most of which she said are about "80 percent aligned with the Republican Party platform. I believe the moderates are the fringe."
Disagreeing with Wendelboe is former Party Chair Fergus Cullen of Wolfeboro, who thinks the party is still "not broad enough" to attract the support needed to get candidates elected.
"Republican candidates have to appeal to more than just the base, which has become increasingly conservative," Cullen said. "The challenge is to win elections."
He said he agrees with many Republicans who say that having a "common enemy" in Democratic President Barack Obama will go a long way toward uniting the state's conservatives.
"This government ownership of the car industry and banking industry makes all of our skin crawl," he said.
TEA parties continue to attract a variety of people. In Tilton, the 1875 Inn and its Olive Branch Tavern has held two, with a June event attracting 25 to 30 people through word-of-mouth advertising. Nearly 200 people braved driving rain on June 24 to protest the state budget in front of the State Capitol in Concord.
"We're spending like drunken sailors," said Sanbornton's Guy Giunta Jr., who said the Tilton gatherings are attended by many people who are "frustrated that we're losing our country," and not necessarily just Republicans.
Agreeing with him is Omer Ahern, a Plymouth farmer and lawyer who organized a TEA Party in Plymouth. He says the TEA parties are not affiliated with any particular political party, but rather are reaching out to like-minded individuals who oppose huge federal deficits and massive government spending.
Fred Tausch, a Merrimack businessman and former Obama supporter who has grown frustrated with Obama's fiscal policy, has founded STEWARD of Prosperity — a group he describes as a "grassroots organization dedicated to holding politicians from both parties accountable to the taxpayers."
The group has released research, advertised on television and has a presence online at www.stewardofprosperity.com.
Tausch has not announced any political ambitions, but has "been encouraged to run for office," said his assistant, Jeff Grappone, who was active in Rudy Guiliani's New Hampshire primary campaign and the state-level presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz.
Nearly all these groups and individuals share the desire to reign in federal and state spending and are outraged at the "massive deficit," said state GOP media spokesman Ryan Williams.
He said there has been a "lack of focus in Concord" by lawmakers that led to too much emphasis on sweeping social change but produced a "really poor budget."
"The Democrats have campaigned well but governed poorly," he said, adding that Republicans will become much more competitive and cohesive under the guidance of former Gov. John H. Sununu.
The Democrats "got a lot of outside groups to give them money, and the payback was radical social change," Williams said.
Republicans will benefit during the next election cycle because the Democrats, led by Gov. John Lynch, broke their "implicit promise in the tax pledge to reign in spending. (Lynch) flip-flopped on gay marriage and has shown a lack of integrity," Williams said.
With New Hampshire's fiscal issues "front and center," he said he's seeing more fiscal conservatives, and not necessarily card-carrying Republicans, rallying around the GOP and its traditional, fiscally conservative philosophy.
"It's a whole different situation than it was," he said, noting that the party is raising money at a faster pace than the last election despite the economic slump.
Sununu and the party are working on a slate of candidates for 2010, and at a minimum, they should hold onto Sen. Judd Gregg's seat and take back the majority in the state Legislature, he said.
He also said the corner office in Concord is well within reach for the first time in four years.
Lynch's approval ratings are lower that any time in his tenure as governor, said Andrew Smith of the University of New Hampshire Survey Center, adding that a recent poll indicates Lynch's support has fallen to 48 percent approval by the state's Republicans, down from a high of 62 percent this spring.
Overall, Smith said, Republicans have to come together if they want to win elections because "the Democrats have a plurality."
The state has become more and more Democratic over the last decade as older Republicans die or move, he said.
He added that New Hampshire Republicans tend to be more conservative than their national counterparts, while many conservatives in the state describe themselves as Libertarian.
There are few "social conservatives" in the state — a recent Gallup Poll ranked the state as the second least-religious, topped only by Vermont.
Republicans are midway through their second term as a minority party, and most state legislators have learned they have to work together to get anything done, Smith said.
"They have no choice," he said.
Historically, the out-of-power party does better during mid-term elections, and that, coupled with the state's sagging economy, indicate 2010 could be a good year for Republicans, Smith said.
"The sheer force of Sununu's personality will bring conservatives together," said Smith, who acknowledged the former governor's fundraising ability as well as his many friendships throughout the country.
Also bringing conservatives together is RedHampshire — a website led by former GOP political director Tom DeRosa who said it is modeled after the Democratic website, BlueHampshire — a site he credits with helping Democrats get their message out in the last election.
He said he's happy to see a lot of conservative groups and hopes they all come together under his site as well as through various TEA Parties.
"I work with them all," he said. "They are both great outlets to get this information out there."
GOP sees its chance
As New Hampshire's unemployment rate crept up another two-tenths of a point in May and state lawmakers passed a budget in June that included a slew of tax and fee increases, many conservative groups are putting aside their differences and rallying to the same banner — the economy — and more specifically, spending.

DENVER - It was, in a word, rough, and probably resembled more of an opening game of the season than a first-round playoff game.
"It was," Thomas Jefferson coach Grant Laman agreed. And his team won.
TJ's Spartans ultimately outlasted Erie 52-36 on Wednesday night in the preliminaries of the Class 4A playoffs. TJ advances to take on top-seeded and 2016 runner-up Valor Christian in Highlands Ranch on Saturday at 7 p.m.
The middle matchup of a 64-slot outlay for a 48-team field (plus byes) - Erie was No. 33 and TJ 32 - came with assorted likes and dislikes.
To wit:
Both teams entered the game with 11-12 records.
There were a combined 45 turnovers, 27 by the Tigers.
The Spartans had multiple opportunities to run way and hide ... and didn't until the final 3 minutes.
Erie did not make a basket in the second quarter. The Tigers scored seven points on 7-of-9 free throws and were 0-of-7 shooting in field goals, one more than they had turnovers.
And despite scoring just seven points in each of the second and fourth quarters, the Tigers didn't succumb until TJ's superior defensive pressure kicked in late.
"It sucks," 6-foot-9 Erie senior Cameron McCurry said. In agreeing that he and his guys certainly played hard enough, they weren't smart with the ball and didn't shoot it well enough.
It was a lot to ask from a team that won only twice a year ago and improved in most areas
"I think it was a first-round playoff game for a 2-21 team from last year that had nerves and tried to fight through it," second-year Erie coach Scott Melin said. "We never gave up and got it down to a four-point game."
However, TJ, behind Ravel Moody and Deveon Carter put it away. Moody, in particular, was very active on defense and the Tigers eventually wilted against it, though not for lack of effort.
"We tried to prepare for their pressure, we watched film on them for two days," McCurry said. "We watched their Aurora Central game and it was probably 30 turnovers they forced ... we tried to replicate it in practice. I just don't think we were ready for the intensity of the game, it was something different, for sure."
The Spartans, who started their season 2-9 after several players were suspended, have won 10 of their past 13 games and showed well in losses to the likes of 5A's George Washington and ever-present Denver East. Their own offensive inadequacies were smoothed over by their defense, including under the basket.
Erie just couldn't answer and shot just 12-of-42 from the floor. Only four Tigers scored, headed by McCurry's 13 and Jeffrey Farineau's 10. Moody led all scorers with 16 and Carter contributed 11, including three 3-pointers in the second half.
However, a junior-dominated Tigers team will lose only four seniors. Another turn-around, Melin said, is on the radar.
"I couldn't be more proud of them," the coach said.

I've owned this Sanyo HD Video Camera for a couple of months now and have used it often. I chose this camera over similar ones in this price range because of the features of the Sanyo HD Video Camera and I have not been disappointed. Easy to use once you get to know the menus, and though not perfect by any means it is just right for my needs for an everyday cam. Read the review on CNET for a good overview of all the features and abilities of this camcorder.ReplyDelete
I've managed to tweak a fairly decent picture quality by following the advice of the other reviewers here (thank you) and so far have had no problems with it. Very pleased overall, better than I was expecting in fact.
With the optional Sanyo HD Video Camera component cable you CAN watch your vids in hi-def.
I have not yet found a battery with longer life than the one provided, but I am still looking... if anyone knows of one, please leave a comment here. I would appreciate it.
