We have to assume the Navy and the USO have either seen the film or at least read the script, so it's great news that both have — along with a number of corporate sponsors — enthusiastically joined the film's promotional campaign.
Via DHD, here's the the relevant portions of the press release.
LOS ANGELES, CA, March 27, 2012–Universal Partnerships & Licensing (UP&L) today announced it has partnered with some of the world's most well-known brands in a historic promotional campaign to support Universal Pictures' epic action-adventure "Battleship". Initiatives to promote the upcoming film from director Peter Berg ("Hancock") include unprecedented partnerships with key national brands. …
"Peter's mastery of all things military has also helped us gain critical support from the USO and the U.S. Navy, and we're so proud to partner with them on programs that celebrate these crucial organizations." …
Emphasizing the U.S. Navy's recruitment initiatives,"Battleship" will have exposure across the country through in-cinema advertising focused on the real men and women of the Navy. Social media efforts will be found on Navy's YouTube Channel and on multiple Facebook pages discussing life and careers in the Navy.
Highlighting its mission to lift the spirits of troops and their families, the USO, in a global cross promotional effort with Kraft, Coke Zero and Subway, will launch a PSA campaign honoring the "real heroes" -all of those who serve in the U.S. military. USO's ON*PATROL Magazine will include an editorial interview featuring director Peter Berg. "Battleship" trailers and film posters will be seen at more than 100 USO locations worldwide. Digital presence will occur through social networking on Facebook, as well as the USO's national and local center pages.
Berg and the studio have already gone out of their way to show respect and appreciation to the military.
What's going to be fun is listening to the critics betray their anti-American, anti-military colors as they howl over the idea of a Hollywood blockbuster being used as a military recruiting tool. These, of course, will be the same people who have no problem with film after film recruiting young people into loveless sex, recreational drug use, and anything involving saving Mother Earth from big bad America.
Though I absolutely hated the ending of Berg's "The Kingdom," he most certainly has a track record of treating the men and women who wear this country's uniform with the dignity and reverence they deserve.
The bigger picture here, though, is that Hollywood has apparently figured out that the trashing of America's heroes is box office poison (not that that will stop them), and that honoring them is excellent public relations.
Goodwill matters.

As major record labels begin to untie online music from digital rights management software in an effort to spur demand, Universal—the world's largest record label—is reportedly cooking up an entirely different business model. BusinessWeek has received word that Universal CEO Doug Morris is spearheading a new service that will tie music sales to hardware players and cell phones.
Dubbed Total Music, the service entails getting hardware vendors to "absorb" the cost of music subscriptions in order to make music free to the eyes of consumers. BusinessWeek quotes an executive who saw Morris' presentation about the service as saying, "You know that it's there, and it costs something." However, the executive adds, "you never write a check for it." Naturally, the success of such a scheme would depend on how exactly how much hardware vendors would need to absorb:
The big question is whether the makers of music players and phones can charge enough to cover the cost of baking in the subscription. Under one scenario industry insiders figure the cost per player would amount to about $90. They arrived at that number by assuming people hang on to a music player or phone for 18 months before upgrading. Eighteen times a $5 subscription fee equals $90. There is precedent here. When Microsoft was looking to launch a subscription service for Zune, Morris played hardball. He got the tech giant to fork over $1 for every player sold, plus royalties. Total Music would take that concept even further. "If the object is to wrest control of the market from Steve Jobs," says Gartner analyst Mike McGuire, "this is a credible way to try it."
A $90 surcharge might be tough to work into budget players akin to the $79 iPod shuffle, but it could be feasible with pricier devices. As we reported last month, research firm iSuppli worked out that Apple's $149 iPod nano costs Apple just under $60 in parts. Parts for the $199 model add up to $82.85, the firm found.
According to BusinessWeek, Sony BMG is already a potential partner in Universal's scheme, and Morris is said to be in talks with the Warner Music Group, as well. Being three of the world's "big four" record labels, Universal, Sony BMG, and Warner would control around 75% of music sold in the United States if they joined forces, BusinessWeek says.

There are many reasons 12
Years a Slave is so eloquent and powerful, from Steve McQueen's fluid
direction to John Ridley's first-rate screenplay and the cast of actors
unafraid to play some of the worst and
most heroic elements of character — but at its heart, the film rests on Chiwetel
Ejiofor's performance as a free man
turned slave, whose strength, outrage and resilience never begs for the
audience's easy sympathy. Anyone who has followed his career knows that
performance is no fluke. In earlier films, he has often been the very good center
holding a mediocre work in place (Kinky Boots,
Dirty Pretty Things).
There is more of his versatility on screen this weekend.
Tonight, Starz begins a five-part miniseries, Dancing on the Edge, with Ejiofor as a British jazz musician whose group
becomes famous in the racist 1930's, even though he and his band can't enter
the front door of the hotel where they play — at least not until the Prince of
Wales becomes a fan. Written and directed by Stephen Poliakoff (known for tony but staid television dramas like The Lost Prince),
Dancing on the Edge is a vibrant, stylish but by-the-numbers period piece. Especially if you're a fan of that genre, though, it
has enough terrific music (written for the series by Adrian Johnston), intrigue
and drama to be worth watching.
The career of Ejiofor's character, Louis Lester, is loosely based on Duke Ellington's,
and the story is at its most penetrating in those rare moments when it
acknowledges that white audiences appreciating black musicians was often its own kind
of racist condescension. That social edge isn't truly what concerns
Poliakoff, though, as the film keeps focused on the melodrama that frames it, the aristocrats who pop in and out, and eventually a crime plot that overtakes everything else.
The story begins with the famous Lester in some kind of unexplained
trouble as he arrives at the office of his friend, a jazz journalist named Stanley
Mitchell (Matthew Goode). In flashback we see how Stanley helped promote the
band, bringing them to the attention of wealthy middle-aged benefactors played
by Anthony Head and Jacqueline Bisset, as well as a group of beautiful young things, played by Joanna
Vanderham, Tom Hughes and Janet Montgomery. John Goodman, as a belligerent American
millionaire, may be the most stereotypical of this caricatured bunch. All
well-played, but more than a bit trite. When Prince George and the Prince of
Wales turn up, early in the series, you might as well stop hoping for anything deeper
and settle back to enjoy the series for the froth it is.
We know that something terrible has to happen because of
that opening scene — and also because these
entitled rich people are exactly the kind dragged into miniseries to make
trouble. The two women who sing in the Louis Lester Band are wonderfully played,
though. The star, Jessie (Angel Coulby) has a simmering ambition, and her best
friend, Carla (Wunmi Mosaku) has to wait for her chance to shine. And Ejiofor
brings his usual intelligence to Lester, who is fierce, clever, charismatic and
sexy, and always perfectly aware of how the social odds are stacked against
If you want to see Ejiofor in the kind of amazing role he
deserves, of course there is 12 Years a
Slave. But Dancing on the Edge is
engaging enough — and offers more evidence that his options as an actor should
be limitless.

Efficient and robust pumping equipment for the mining industry
The importance of the mining industry lies in the fact that it is a source of minerals for maintaining and improving the standards of living for all countries. The materials obtained from this industry are used for the construction of multiple goods such as streets, highways, houses, buildings, technology and also for generating electricity. When markets grow and commercial activities are increased, demand for mining ore materials and metals is also increased.
Extracting and processing the minerals requires efficient and robust equipment and Ruhrpumpen has the pumping solution for these needs. The durability and quality of our products and the experience we have in the mining industry give the customer confidence in the equipment they acquire from us. We also manage materials for corrosive applications for the metallurgic market.

I still remember the first time I saw a Havalon knife. It was four years ago, while I was skinning beavers with a professional trapper and mountain lion hunter in Wyoming. This guy let me use his Havalon Piranta on a few critters and I was astounded by its sharpness and ease of handling. Since then, I've been an avid user of Havalon products. I own every knife and blade that they make, and I've never had a single complaint with any of them. Nor have I ever had any reservations about recommending their products to other hunters. In fact, I've given Havalon knives to dozens of friends and hunting companions and each of them has become a dedicated Havalon user.
In my opinion, one of the coolest things about Havalon is that they manage to constantly modify their product lines without ever compromising the core quality that first caught my attention. Their latest development is a testament to this. It's called the Bolt. The knife uses the 60A blade, which is a tad thicker than the classic 60xt blade. The 60A has become my stand-by, all-purpose blade because the thickness allows you to be a little more aggressive with your skinning jobs and it's also well suited to such jobs as popping ball joints on big game legs and caping around horn and antler bases. The handle on the Bolt is a bit different as well. Rather than the smoother handle of the Piranta, or the finger-grips on the Torch, the Bolt has a well-placed ridge that conforms particularly well to the way a hunter grips his or her knife during the skinning and gutting process. It's also a bit larger. The size and shape give the knife a more stable and comfortable feel, and reduce any hand cramping you might feel after a long butchering job on a large animal. As for color, the Bolt maintains the level of practicality that makes Havalon such a special company. You can get it in blaze orange or bright green, so you don't need to worry about losing it in the field. After all, I've never had the color of my knife cause a deer to spook, but I've certainly had trips get compromised due to lost equipment. All in all, I can say this: if you're in the market for a Havalon (and you oughta be), go with the Bolt. You won't regret it.

While Jackie and I (almost) never eat lunch, our theater-going habits in London mean that we get no supper until 10:30 or 11:00 p.m. So at three or four o'clock an afternoon snack is in order, but it has to be one that won't fill us up and make us logy during the show - or spoil our appetite for post-theater dinner. And it needs to be in a pleasant environment: comfortable and preferably quiet.
London is full of places where you can sit down and have a little savory something at any time of day, but too many of them are outlets of national chains: EAT., Prêt à Manger, Café Rouge, Léon and lots more come to mind. These are certainly a step up from the international burger chains, but our most delicious and relaxing afternoon mouthfuls have been at all-day restaurants that belong to smaller London-only groups with but a few locations each. We were surprised to realize that: We'd have thought that one-site independent restaurants would be the ones we visited again and again, but our favorite group members offer such appealing menus and such pleasant surroundings that it is a rare trip to London that doesn't include a stop at one or two of them. These are three at which we most recently put up our tourism-weary feet (I avoid the option of afternoon tea, which WILL spoil your dinner).
Brindisa has three centrally located restaurants and a new one out in East London (this latter specializes in rice dishes - paella and its kin). We most often visit Casa Brindisa right near the flock of museums in South Kensington; we'll share a platter of hams and/or salamis (the company is an importer of Spanish goods and its products are impeccable), maybe have a slice of potato-onion omelette (tortilla) or some croquettes or fried pimientos de Padrón (small thin-fleshed green peppers, sometimes hot, sometimes not) and drink a glass or two of wine. The place is rarely crowded at 3 or 4 p.m. (meal times are another story); we generally wind up spending around £30 ($48) - more if we opt for high-end ham - which is not half bad for an hour's pleasure.
The stylish Canteen group , whose catchphrase is "Great British Food," has just opened a fifth restaurant in a very tourist-friendly location right near Covent Garden. More often, though, we find ourselves at the one in the Royal Festival Hall. There are plenty of snack options: sausage sandwiches; potted ham with relish; super-duper Scotch eggs; deviled kidneys on toast (don't make faces: try them); and a whole slew of breakfast dishes. Wines are classified on the list as Good, Great and Brilliant - i.e. they're arranged by price range - and have been particularly well selected. A typical snack for two costs us in the area of £20 to £25 ($32-40).
The Counter at The Delaunay , also quite near Covent Garden, is an adjunct to the grand restaurant operated by Rex Restaurant Associates (The Wolesley, the new Brasserie Zédel - which also has potential as a snack place, though we haven't yet put it to the test - and the forthcoming Colbert on Sloane Square). This is less comfy than the other two - you order at the counter, though your food is delivered to your table, the chairs aren't as welcoming, and there is a take-out side to the place that can be distracting - but the food is so good, the décor so pretty and the staff so friendly that it has become a favorite. There are hot dogs and other sausages; soups; sandwiches; a hot dish or two; and desserts. Yes, there are good desserts at Brindisa and Canteen too, but it is these that make us want something sweet: Viennese and French style cakes and pastries, plus excellent versions of English classics such as Battenberg. Last time, preceding my Black Forest cake, I had a chicken schnitzel sandwich, which has the potential to be hard to eat and too dry. This was so cannily designed that it was neither. I long for another. We spent £27 ($43) there last time, dessert and all.
There are other options, to be sure - such as Dean Street Townhouse and the brand new Green Man and French Horn, which has a limited but tempting all-day snack menu - but of late those three have filled most of our between-meal snacking needs.

Louis C. K. Quotes About FeelingsQuotes about: Feelings
I didn't make any kind of grades in high school. My mother was a single mom, putting my three sisters through college, and I was such a bad student that I knew I had no right to take her money. But I loved being in classes and learning. I took in a huge amount of what I learned, but I had a feeling of always being behind and being in trouble.
I was talking to my friend and he said his girlfriend was mad at him. I said, "What happened?" He goes: "Well, I guess I, uh... I guess I said something, and, uh... and then she got her feelings hurt." That's a weird way to phrase it: "She got her feelings hurt. I said something, and then she..." Could you more remove yourself from responsibility? "She got her feelings hurt." It's like saying, "Yeah, I shot this guy in the face, and then I guess he got himself murdered. I don't know what happened. He leaned into it."
My last name is Szekely. Sounds like Saykay. When I was a little kid I had an instructor in camp who called me Shnizneckely. He would make fun of my name and it hurt my feelings because I was a little pussy and I cried. He said, 'Well, how do you say it?' I said, Seekay. So he wrote 'C.K' on my jersey and everything. He made my name 'C.K' and I just stuck with it.

Welcome to the first edition of Wavelength – A quarterly newsletter dedicated to highlighting the latest news and research produced from Curtin's X-ray characterisation facilities, namely the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and small angle X-ray
scattering (SAXS) facilities. As a special first edition feature, we have included an entire page that highlights the basic instrument capabilities of each facility.
A workshop was hosted by Curtin University and sponsored by AXT Pty Ltd on the 6th November to demonstrate the application and benefits of automated mineralogy to the minerals industry and academic research. Around 35 people from various research institutions, service providers and the mining industry attended the workshop from across Australia.
The day started with a tour of the John de Laeter Centre (JdLC) facilities incorporating the Tescan integrated mineral analyser (TIMA; http://www.axt.com.au/tescan-integrated-minerals-analyser-tima/#1447758549595-75758c9c-3358), which was the key instrument of relevance to the workshop. Dr Mark Aylmore, recently appointed to take on the role of Applied Mineralogist in the JdLC, chaired the workshop that included presentations from:
• Dr Kamran Khajehpour (AXT), who gave an overview of automated mineralogy and supported by Esben Kjaer (Struers) who gave a brief overview on sample preparation techniques.
• Prof Brent McInnes (Curtin JdLC), who demonstrated the applications of the TIMA to Archeology, Petrology, Geochemical Mapping, and the Characterisation of Mineral & Petroleum Systems.
• Kellie Jones (Northparkes Mines), who discussed the application of the TIMA to mining and mineral processing at the Northparkes Cu-Au operation.
• Marek Dosbaba (Tescan Orsay Holding), who reviewed the workflow of the TIMA software.
• Paul Gottlieb (Tescan Orsay Holding), who summarised the recent technological and software developments at Tescan and discussed future challenges for the TIMA and automated mineralogy.
Thanks to all at Curtin and AXT staff who were involved in the workshop. Special thanks goes to Petrina Beeton who organised the venue, catering and parking. With the success of this function it is anticipated further workshops on automated mineralogy will be held on an annual basis.
A team of Curtin University geoscientists has discovered the earliest known occurrence of reidite, one of Earth's rarest minerals. At 1.2 billion years, the finding is more than double the age of the previous oldest known occurrence at 450 million years.
Working with the University of St Andrews, the team, led by Professor Steven Reddy from the Institute for Geoscience Research at Curtin's Western Australian School of Mines, discovered the reidite in shocked zircon from impact ejecta at Stac Fada in Scotland. He said reidite is important because it is only known to form in nature during meteorite impact events.
"The discovery of this Precambrian occurrence indicates the potential for using the presence of reidite to indicate and record very ancient impact events," Professor Reddy said.
"It is a breakthrough discovery that will help determine terrestrial impact events which have had a profound influence on Earth's geological, geochemical and biological evolution."
Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research and Development Professor Graeme Wright said Curtin is at the forefront of high-impact research and development in minerals and energy sectors.
"In recent years our research activity, particularly in geosciences, has grown significantly, driving Curtin's rapid rise up the international university rankings," Professor Wright said.
All natural occurrences of reidite are associated with the transformation of the mineral zircon during the high pressures and temperatures associated with meteorite impact events. However, the record of Precambrian impacts is poorly constrained due to the dynamic nature of plate tectonics, erosion and deposition of younger rocks, which may destroy or cover the evidence of ancient impacts.
The reidite was discovered using advanced mineral characterisation technologies housed in the John De Laeter Centre (JdLC) at Curtin University. Professor Reddy used a technique called electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to effectively discriminate between reidite and its compositionally identical host zircon.
The discovery paves the way for developing reidite as a proxy for meteorite impact events that can be extended back in geological time to provide insights into Earth's early impact record.
Professor Reddy's discovery has been published in the prestigious Geology journal and can be viewed online.
Cited news reported by the National Resources Review on 02 Sep 2015.
On the 8th July 2015, staff at the John de Laeter Centre (JdLC) hosted a two-hour workshop to discuss current and upcoming projects focused on geochemistry data discovery.
The audience comprised a score of people from around Australia with representatives present from Curtin University's Office of Research and Development, Curtin University Library, CSIRO, ANDS, NCI, GSWA, MRIWA and AMMRF.
After delivering a presentation on their recently completed Digital Mineralogy Library project, the JdLC hosts invited their visitors to offer feedback and discuss opportunities for new projects to further assist researchers in managing and disseminating high-value geochemistry datasets.
The response was positive with many participants sharing their views on the importance of data management and discovery, and recognising the contribution that the JdLC has made in this area. Dr Lesley Wyborn (NCI) was "pleased to see the JdLC and the community making progress in achieving what [she] has been trying to achieve for the last 30 years in Australian Geochemistry Laboratories ".
JdLC is looking forward to expanding its data delivery services to include geochemistry data from its Sensitive High Resolution Ion Micro Probe (SHIMP) and laser ablation instruments in the future. Through collaborations with state and national organisations and businesses this project will see more data being made readily available to researchers, industry and the public. This will foster a richer scientific understanding of our country and promote new discoveries.
See poster for more about Digital Mineralogy Library.
* The Digital Mineralogy Library project is supported by the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) and AuScope through the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy Program. The hardware component of the project was funded via the Australian Research Council with support from Curtin University, the Geological Survey of Western Australia, University of Western Australia and Murdoch University.
The project is being jointly run between the John de Laeter Centre, Curtin University Library and Curtin Information Technology Services.
As the downturn in mineral prices continues to drag on Australia's economy, a project led by Perth's Curtin University is seeking to create an open access digital mineral inventory of WA that it hopes could stimulate interest in further exploration in the state.
Industrial Minerals by Cameron Chai, Friday, April 10, 2015
The declining fortunes of Australia's mining industry have been a graphic illustration of how the collapse of the commodities boom can pull the rug out from beneath entire economies.
Data from the financial year 2013-2014 indicates that Western Australia's (WA) minerals and energy output alone was worth $122bn for the year, dominated by iron ore, which accounted for approximately 60% of the sector's income. This equates to almost 65% of Australia's national output, with minerals being Australia's major export earner. The collapse of iron ore prices to below $50/tonne, down from a peak of $190/tonne four years ago, has hit WA hard and the state is now urgently seeking ways to stimulate its mineral sector and diversify its resource base away from iron ore.
One avenue being considered is the public documentation of WA's mineral resources. It is hoped that by allowing free, open access to this information, further interest in developing domestic mineral reserves will be stimulated and create a more varied and sustainable mineral economy.
In WA's capital Perth, the state government is sitting on a collection of over 2,000 heavy mineral concentrate samples. These have been systematically collected and meticulously catalogued by the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA) over the last 30 years of geological mapping. The mineralogical makeup of these samples is largely unknown, but technological advances in both microanalytical and geoinformatics science may shed new light on the contents of the vials.

Government Moves Against Pay-As-You-Throw Trash
We already know that pay-as-you-throw trash metering can cut landfill waste by 50%. However, Business Green reports that the ruling UK coalition may make it harder for local authorities to levy charges against those who refuse to recycle, and may even stop them from levying fines for dumping trash illegally:
Meanwhile, councils will be prevented from levying fines for fly-tipping for all but the worst offences. Local government minister Bob Neill and environment minister Lord Henley have also warned against councils "charging by the back door" for waste services through schemes that force taxpayers to buy 'official' rubbish sacks from town halls.
While there is an obvious need to get pay-as-you-throw trash models right, and a danger of a backlash if families are fined for the occasional misplaced yogurt pot, it does sound like the UK coalition is playing to populist sentiment rather than offering real solutions to a growing waste problem.

...this free memory improvement course is suitable for all ages and contains easily applicable techniques that can help anyone who needs a little memory boost.
New York City, NY (PRWEB) November 20, 2012
Ultimate Memory software announced today the launching of a completely free memory course available at the main Ultimate Memory website. According to Ultimate Memory, this free memory improvement course is suitable for all ages and contains easily applicable techniques that can help anyone who needs a little memory boost.
From brain exercises to memory-boosting foods, this mini-site constitutes a valuable online resource for anyone who seeks to prevent memory loss or improve memory. This site was formerly an eReflect mini site, but now it has its own index page in the official Ultimate Memory website so that those interested can more easily locate it.
Marc Slater, managing director of Ultimate Memory, was asked why his company decided to offer all this priceless information for free. "This initiative is part of a large-scale goal of Ultimate Memory to make available to the public information that is scientifically grounded and valid," he said. "We are well aware that the Internet is filled with misinformation and imprecise claims about memory improvement. This website seeks to remedy that by providing the latest and most effective information on that subject. Along with this information, techniques and other tips are shared for those wishing to improve their memory instantly."
Information on diet, sleep patterns, exercising, and brain tactics that anyone can do are presented in easy to follow lessons. This memory course also offers quite an impressive list of free videos that complement the knowledge received from the lessons.
This memory course focuses on lifestyle and how fun activities such as learning to play a musical instrument, which might seem to have no connection to memory improvement at first glance, can actually help the brain to boost memory skills. Stress is also given special attention, and the site focuses on its negative role regarding memory improvement.
"This short but comprehensive memory course provides the gist of how exactly a person's lifestyle affects their memory skills, and also how certain techniques and practices can help people reverse memory deterioration," said Slater. "Here at Ultimate Memory, we highly recommend visiting this website if you want to access some valuable information on memory improvement today. "

Junior starting pitcher for North Medford, Maryssa Becker, has already been admitted to play softball for the University of Louisville. Becker pitched both complete games, and the Eagles were rarely able to put more than three batters to the plate. "Obviously, we faced a really good pitcher," Eagles head coach, Tony Baron, said of Becker.
Coach Baron also explained a handful of plays that would have reversed the direction of the games had his athletes maintained the necessary focus to make them. He noted this as the area where the Eagles need to improve the most in order to regain their winning record.
"We're going to be practicing hard the rest of the week," Baron said, "working on fixing our tentativeness to go after balls."
Third baseman, Candace Rodgers, has nothing tentative about her though. Whenever the ball went her direction, Rodgers used everything in her 5'2" frame to make the play. Coach Baron highlighted Rodgers' efforts as a strong point, both for these games and his team as a whole. "She made some phenomenal plays today," Baron said. "Her defense is incredible."
Earlier in the season, the Eagles beat Ashland High School by 17 points. Which is a good sign going into their double-header against Ashland on Saturday, Apr. 14th at the Eagle Point field.

RIVER POETRYBill Studebaker reads one of his poems
Idaho poet William Studebaker understands the several meanings of the word salmon. He grew up in the town of Salmon, along the Salmon River, and watched the salmon migrate upriver to the exact stream where they were born, only to lay their eggs and die. Studebaker believes the life cycle of the salmon is the "hero" cycle that Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung understood, where we begin, we journey, and we return.
[From Everything Goes Without Saying, Confluence Press, 1978]
Ars Poetica
Every year they return.
stealhead, chinook salmon
I have sat these years
Everything goes without saying.
Spawned Out
This is death, you know
Having done what
And her roe waits for some jack
[It is a later version of Ars Poetica, but without the allegorical implications, more sympathy than vicariousness. Another poem dependent upon my knowledge, acknowledgment of the salmons life cycle as an allegory for my life–for all of ours. The word salmon was a powerful word in my childhood: I was from Salmon which is on the Salmon river up which salmon migrated–beginning and ending a life cycle I watched with joy.]

Martha Martha Martha! Dave and Mary Ellen talk a lot about Martha this episode! And you should be happy we do. We talk about lots of stuff in this episode including banana clips, hidey holes and shitty night shift employees. Please enjoy this episode for Travel Agents
Dave and Mary Ellen rejoice as The Americans regain their form. Some tense moments, some detective work and some kick ass Martha. Enjoy as we discuss apartment leases, omelettes and a travel agent's office staffed by rats.
Dave and Mary Ellen just watched Clark's Place, and they have some mixed feelings. We discuss the arrival of Matthew, Stan wanted to watch Philip and Elizabeth have sex, and considered some other Queen songs that could have been applied to other scenes from The Americans,
Dave and Mary Ellen don't have much pep when it comes to this episode, maybe we just aren't catching the Fever. We discuss a dark episode 4 and the topics of rope ladders, being out of milk and promises of Matthew.
Dave and Mary Ellen have caught Americans Fever! And we know there is no cure for that, save for maybe a Nina dream sequence. We talk about all sorts of things this episode, including bad cologne, Disney kids, and Alan Arkin's country of origin!

Magnifique séjour de 2 semaines dans une pinède très calme en dehors du village. Grande piscine bien entretenue. Accueil avec toutes les informations nécessaire pour vivre de belles vacances. Deux fois nous avons vu des chevreuils! Nous reviendrons sûrement ! Un grand Merci!
We cannot recommend this accommodation highly enough..
We rented "The Gardener's Roof Top Apartment" - it is more spacious than the photos suggest (plenty of space for a family of 5)..
Stunning views from all bedrooms and the ensuite..
Perfectly located for sightseeing trips (we visited Pietrasanta, Lucca, Pisa, Florence)..
The huge fridge was much appreciated..
Private sunny patio with large table and plenty of chairs/loungers..
Lovely pool for chilled out days in between sightseeing..
A short drive to lots of beaches..
The property was super-clean inside and outside..
The pool was cleaned regularly..
WiFi was excellent (even reaching to the pool area!)..
Excellent communication from the owners Inc. lots of useful, local information..
The Housekeeper (Vittoria) was at the property every day and happy to assist with any requirements..
We were able to check in early which was much appreciated..
This location offered a great balance for us (chill out/sightseeing/stunning views of beautiful Tuscany) for our family (2 adults, children aged 15, 11, 8)..
We would DEFINITELY stay at this accommodation again..
Thank you to Stefano, Margarita and Vittoria
Stefano and Margheritta could not have been more helpful, from our initial telephone enquiry, through the booking process and sending us extensive information about the accommodation, area, local restaurants amenities etc. We were met by Vittoria who welcomed us warmly, showed us around and was on hand throughout our stay for any enquirers.The actual flat it just beautiful, it's cleaned to the highest standards, equipped with everything you could possibly need, comfortable and you will be blown away by the views - from every window. We loved the pool and gardens, and enjoyed breakfast and barbecues on the lovely private terrace. It would be easy to spend a week or two just relaxing here, but we travelled every day to Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Viareggio, Le Spezia, cinque Terre, and returned to eat in one of the local restaurants or laze by the pool. We travelled with our children, 20&17 who both agreed that this was the best holiday in the best accommodation and location. Thank you so much
From the moment we arrived, we fell in love with the tranquil nature of the surroundings. Vittoria was there to meet us and very efficiently showed us round the property and made us welcome. The views and the birdsong are beautiful and the pool - well, what can we say apart from A PROPER SWIMMING POOL - hooray. The accommodation was clean and as described and had the advantage of air conditioning in the bedroom which made sleeping blissful. Access is via a narrow road, but is perfectly safe and easy to drive along. The property is behind electric gates and the parking is more than adequate. To lay on one's back in the pool and watch the birds of prey lazily circling up in the sky was lovely and the added bonus was that occasionally a Hoopoe would put in an appearance. To get to Lucca, Pisa, Florence or indeed the seaside was straightforward. All in all my wife and I thoroughly recommend this destination. Neil & Irene UK
Stato durante il lucca comics , ormai per il secondo anno di fila. ..... Posto splendido, proprietari splendidi e disponibili in tutto ... per tutta la durata del soggiorno... ogni anno tappa fissa per quel evento...
We stayed for 1 week with our friends in the Gardener's roof top apartment. The apartment was spacious and well equipped. We do a lot of cooking and didn't struggle with the equipment provided. The outdoor dining area was private, peaceful and a much appreciated space. We gave up the bedroom with the ensuite to our friends but we got the crowning glory with the view from the bedroom window, also the same whilst swimming, of the glorius mountains.
The town of Camaiore had a good friendly atmosphere and offered good places to eat and drink. The local supermarket was closed for refurbishment but we were only a short drive from the nearest hypermarket, so no problem. The only drawback was the (very) narrow, steep road to the house - but this was counteracted by the fact that this then meant you were in a peaceful atmosphere and not disturbed by noise or traffic.
I would, thoroughly, recommend this property for a wonderful holiday.
Camaiore is a quiet and lazy old town of roman origin at the foots of the Apennines and marble mountains. Twenty minutes away from the fashionable beaches and shopping centers of Forte de Marmi and Viareggio. Many tourist attractions nearby: Pisa, Lucca, not far from Florence (60 minutes car drive), Pietrasanta, Portovenere and Lerici.
A preferred spot by artists, writers and film directors, as still unspoilt by mass tourism.
Off the beaten track Tuscany, Camaiore adds to its mediaeval churches, roman remains, proximity to important historic towns such as Lucca, Pietrasanta or Pisa, the vicinity to the sea. For a perfect and relaxing holiday. Many good restaurants in the area offer the visitor a taste of local Tuscan recipes and good wines. Excellent local food shops provide the traveller with the best of Italian groceries, wines and vegetables.

Bush added, "The Supreme Court is a dignified body; Sam is a dignified person. And my hope, of course, is that the Senate bring dignity to the process and give this man a fair hearing and an up-or-down vote on the Senate floor."
The reference to an up-or-down vote addressed the prospect that Senate Democrats could decide to block Alito through a filibuster, which would mean the nominee would need at least 60 votes in the 100-member body, instead of a simple majority, to win confirmation. Liberal advocacy groups have called for the defeat of Alito, but no senator has yet come out publicly in favor of a filibuster against him.
Senators say Alito's writings endorsing a strong executive have taken on new significance since the disclosure that President George W. Bush authorized eavesdropping on American citizens without court approval.
Democrats have decided the issue is so politically potent that they are leaving questions on abortion mainly to Republicans -- a tactic that runs the risk of offending some of their strongest supporters. The intense focus on presidential power has unnerved some women's rights groups, which have traditionally played a central role in Supreme Court confirmation hearings.
Alito's Senate confirmation hearings, which begin this week, will be anything but bland or dull. After a long holiday truce, the battle over Alito's nomination suddenly flared again last week, with dueling D.C. press conferences, partisan advertisements, and e-mail campaigns creating the illusion, if not the real prospect, that Alito is in for a far tougher time than Roberts.

The display put on by Kennedy was shameful; he should be censured. And he should check into a clinic immediately; his alcoholism is a disgrace to the American Senate. He does not deserve to be a Senator.
Originally posted by junglejake
Yeah, Kennedy's had some drinking and murder problems in his past, but I don't think that applies to this situation.
I'm guessing you're talking about Kennedy and Spector getting into an argument over whether Spector ever got something Kennedy sent to him.
Looking at that, I suspect Spector either forgot about it or was lying about not ever getting it.
Originally posted by Benevolent Heretic
I didn't see Kennedy's 'contribution'. Was he drunk or something? Can you elaborate on this 'alcoholism' claim? I rarely watch TV news so I don't see him in his public personna very often. Thanks.
Edit: I know Kennedy has had trouble with alcohol in the past, and that he's alcoholic, I'm just wondering if he's drinking again.

And not even remotely good entertainment.
anyone still "proudly Republican" or whatever they label themselves in the Bush camp, should be thoroughly disgusted with the GOP "4 Corners Offense" = run the clock out on their question period without ever asking a question until they throw up such a puff whiff of one that it's inconsequential.
from junglejake
Still doesn't explain what the tirade did towards confirming Soon-To-Be Supreme Court Justice Ally Oto, but Kennedy is a democrat, so I'm sure he had a good reason.
Originally posted by jsobecky
He was jones'ing quite badly - hands shaking, face red,etc.
And what was the burning info that he just had to know about? He was trying to paint Alito as a sexist because of his membership in the CAP club, a (at that time) male students club, 25 years ago, when Alito attended Princeton.
Kennedy never mentioned his own membership in the males-only Owls Club when he was at Harvard.
He never stopped.
The same goes for the Republicans, but I don't see near as much antipathy coming from that camp.
And Kennedy wants to subpoena records from CAP? What a waste of resources.
Originally posted by marg6043
If i remember quite well is some murder problems in the Bush family also and drinking involve and who knows the drinking may have never stop.
Originally posted by Benevolent Heretic
Really? In the videos I've seen he looks quite calm and composed.
Of course Kennedy (and others who don't want Alito confirmed) is going to go after every little piece of controversial information. That's the way this game is played on both sides.
Kennedy never mentioned his own membership in the males-only Owls Club when he was at Harvard.
Kennedy isn't being confirmed as a SC judge.
He never stopped.
Got any information at all on that? Anything? Any pictures? Video? Slurring speech? Any Kennedy Basher journalists out there who can back you up?
The same goes for the Republicans, but I don't see near as much antipathy coming from that camp.
I don't doubt that you notice it on one side more than the other.
That's what this body does best! Wastes time!

While rumors said that she was romanticaly involve with the young star athlete the family denied that they dated.
If i remember quite well is some murder problems in the Bush family also and drinking involve
Now how did the "kennedy accident happen" yes it was an accident just like Miss Welch accident.
The man is against women rights.
1980's. Alito went further, however, saying the majority was wrong to strike down a requirement that women notify their spouses before having an abortion. The Supreme Court later rejected Alito's view, voting to reaffirm Roe v. Wade.

How did I know that would be your response? He is a hypocrite, and you want to defend him.
Tons and tons of sightings. Regardless, the best he can hope to ever call himself is a "dry drunk".
And I don't doubt that you'd pooh-pooh it as "That's just the way the game is played".
It's going to take a lot more than a bunch of sensational headlines to convince me.
A man has every right to have a say in the life of his prospective child. It wasn't conceived in secret, unless the wife was an adulterous whore. Enough said.

Kennedy was an accident also but because he was not a "Young teen girl" that later married into the "Bush Family" his controversial "Accident" has been given all kind of "Explanation" whenever somebody has to bring his dark past.

When people make construction paper, they mix together chunks of wood and hot water to form a mushy mixture called pulp. Recycled paper is added to make the pulp thicker and dye is added to give it color.
The pulp mixture moves over a wire conveyer belt. As it travels, the water is taken out and the pulp becomes less shiny, less mushy and more like paper. The pulp then moves over big heated barrels. The heat dries up any extra water and the pulp then becomes construction paper.
Workers load long, long sheets of the paper onto big rolls. All the colors that go in each package of construction paper are put together and then sent to a machine called a feeder where they'll be put into stacks and cut into big sheets. The stacks of paper are kept in a warehouse until it's time to cut them into the different sizes people need.
Finally, each stack of paper is wrapped in plastic and sent to stores, so people can buy it and have fun making all kinds of things!

Today the Emergency Committee for Israel released the following statement on the refusal of the Obama administration to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu during his visit to the United States:
The Emergency Committee for Israel salutes Speaker Boehner for inviting the Prime Minister of Israel to address Congress. We and millions of Americans look forward to hearing from him on March 3, and we appreciate the Prime Minister taking time out of his re-election campaign to speak to the American people.
It's unfortunate that President Obama and Secretary Kerry are choosing not to meet with the Prime Minister. But we trust the Israeli people are aware that in snubbing their Prime Minister, President Obama does not represent the views of the great majority of Americans. In order to do our part to make the Israeli Prime Minister feel welcome in Washington, ECI will host a reception in the Prime Minister's honor to make clear, in case there's any doubt, that whatever the president does or says, Americans value our friendship with our ally Israel.

ESPECIALLY because of my parents. so this woman accuses me of being drunk because I'm nervous, upset, and sweating. on a hot summer night, after being pulled over by the cops, when I HATE getting in trouble.
Oh boo hoo. Your parents aren't supposed to matter in the eyes of the law. Anyone else and they would have probably breathylized you... Sorry you missed out.
Sidenote: I don't mind getting tickets if I make an infraction. I just want them to hurry up with it. My time is just as valuable as everyone else's. I don't need to spend 40 mins while they write a citation. Let them do it parking maid style...
*BTW, getting pulled over is not a police state. The police have every right to pull you over at any time to check if you have valid insurance and registration or of course if you made a driving infraction. Should they go beyond that though, push boundaries, etc.. Then by all means complain.
Most encounters I've had was with a mutual smile on both sides, and it should always be that way. I know some have experience worse, and that's a shame.

The police do not have the right to pull you over because they suspect you of anything other than a felony. They don't get to pick and choose the cars they think may or may not have insurance, because of the color of the car or your skin, get it right man.....
Q: What if law enforcement officers stop me in my car?
A: Keep your hands where the police can see them. You must
show your drivers license, registration and proof of insurance
if you are asked for these documents. Officers can also ask
you to step outside of the car, and they may separate passengers
and drivers from each other to question them and
compare their answers, but no one has to answer any questions.
The police cannot search your car unless you give them
your consent, which you do not have to give, or unless they
have "probable cause" to believe (i.e., knowledge of facts sufficient
to support a reasonable belief) that criminal activity is
likely taking place, that you have been involved in a crime, or
that you have evidence of a crime in your car. If you do not
want your car searched, clearly state that you do not consent.
The officer cannot use your refusal to give consent as a basis
for doing a search.
Q: What
Police officers can stop you under
three general circumstances1:
1. If they suspect that you have committed
a crime
2. If they see you committing a
3. If you are driving
If you are stopped while driving,
the police may ask to see your
driver's licence, car registration
and insurance. You are required
to provide this information, and
if you fail to do so you may be
charged with an offence.5

The process of carpet dyeing entails cleaning and drying the carpet, protecting the working area and applying a carpet dye to the carpet. Allowing the dyed carpet to dry completes this process.Continue Reading
To clean the carpet, an individual first clears the working area of any furniture and vacuums the carpet with a vacuum cleaner to remove all dust. For better results, he should be sure to access the crevices while vacuuming. Once all the dust is off, the carpet is saturated with an organic carpet shampoo, and all stains and dirt scrubbed with a washcloth. The carpet is then rinsed with clean water and allowed to dry.
Once the carpet is dry, all the walls and other items around the working area are protected from dye with painter's tape. The individual then protects himself with safety goggles and a breathing mask. He mixes the dye according to the instructions on the package if needed, pours the dye into a sprayer and sprays a small area of the carpet with the dye. A hard-bristled scrub brush is used to work the dye into the carpet in circular motions. The process is repeated on the entire carpet before allowing the carpet to dry.Learn more about Rugs & Carpets

#FiftyShades: E.L. James' latest book: How authors keep their franchises fresh(Read article summary)
#FiftyShades: 'Fifty Shades of Grey' writer E.L. James recently announced she's releasing a new version of 'Fifty Shades of Grey' that will be told from character Christian's point of view. Some authors choose to focus on different characters for new books, while others opt for all-new characters and a different time period.
Chuck Zlotnik/Universal Pictures and Focus Features/AP
A new book set in the world of "Fifty Shades of Grey" is coming from writer E.L. James.
James, who wrote the trilogy which centered on businessman Christian Grey and his paramour Anastasia Steele, wrote on Instagram that she will be publishing a new book on June 18. It's titled "Grey" and will be told from Christian's point of view, the author wrote. (The first "Fifty Shades of Grey" trilogy was narrated by Anastasia.)
According to Business Insider, James originally wrote "Fifty Shades of Grey" as fanfiction for the "Twilight" series by Stephenie Meyer. In fanfiction, readers take popular stories like "Harry Potter" or "The Hunger Games" and write their own stories about already-existing characters within the stories that they love. So Christian and Anastasia started out as "Twilight" couple Edward Cullen and Bella Swan.
Meyer was once going to do a version of her first book, "Twilight," from hero Edward's point of view. However, someone who had access to her draft posted portions of that book, titled "Midnight Sun," online. Meyer wrote on her website soon after, "I feel too sad about what has happened to continue working on 'Midnight Sun,' and so it is on hold indefinitely." She did, however, post on her website the part of the novel that had previously been posted, writing, "This way, my readers don't have to feel they have to make a sacrifice to stay honest."
Of course, switching viewpoints as a way to expand a story has been done by other authors, notably science fiction writer Orson Scott Card, who wrote a sequel to his classic book "Ender's Game" in which the story was told by Ender's friend Bean. Other authors have found different ways to continue their series. Popular young adult author Cassandra Clare went back in time for a sequel series to her popular "Mortal Instruments" books, setting her "Infernal Devices" books centuries before the "Mortal" books but having them take place in the same universe.
"Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling also went back in time for a new story. She is currently working on a series of movies set in Harry's world but taking place decades before the action narrated in the "Harry Potter" books. The new movies will center on a man named Newt Scamander who is an expert on magical creatures. ("Harry Potter" readers will remember Newt is the author of one of Harry's textbooks.) Rowling is penning the screenplay and the first movie of the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series is scheduled for release in 2016.

Season Best For Sykes As He Goes Fifth In Race Two
May 11, 2010
WSBK, Monza, Italy, 9 May 2010
The best weekend of qualifying and racing for Kawasaki Racing Team rider Tom Sykes saw him ninth and fifth at Monza on his Ninja ZX-10R, as his recuperating team-mate Chris Vermeulen also scored well.
Tom's ninth place in race one came after a good start, with the Yorkshireman only losing ground in the second half of the race and riding an eventually lonely last few laps. He would have very high calibre company in race two, as he was third on lap one, then contested the final few laps with Noriyuki Haga, re-passing the Japanese star at every opportunity. Tom held him off at the line to record his best result this year for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R.
Chris was once more once more held back by both his 18th place qualifying position and pain and weakness in his injured knee. The Aussie rider fought every lap as hard as he could and scored 18th and 13th place finishes in the two 18-lap races. His grit and determination place him 19th in the overall rankings.
The whole weekend was a boost for the KRT squad, as qualifying for Tom in particular went to plan and he made the final sector of Superpole. He then had the confidence to use his skill to the full for all of each race.
In the overall championship Tom is now 14th on 35 points, with the next race scheduled for Kyalami, in South Africa, next weekend.
Tom Sykes: "In race two I got a good start and stayed out of trouble but I was not quite able to make the pace early on. Obviously Nori made a few strong passes, and I let him do a little bit of the work for a while. Then my lap times improved and I had a go at passing him, but he came straight back at me, in typical Nori style. With two to go I made a pass and get my head down, then on the final corner I rode defensively and pulled off a good result in fifth. All credit to Kawasaki and the team, it is very well deserved and a good confidence booster for us for the rest of the year."
Chris Vermeulen: "In each race I got a very good start, but in the first race we had tried to make a few small set-up changes on the bike, but it was in the wrong direction. Physically it made the bike very hard to handle, to change direction, so I was very tired after race one. My lap times were a lot better in race two and the bike was good, it was just my leg that is still the main thing stopping me from racing to my full potential. But I was happy with the progress in race two and racing with someone like Max Neukirchner, so it wasn't too bad."

Sean Stewart Investigated for AssaultMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Here's the good news about the fact that Sean Stewart is reportedly being investigated for assault with a deadly weapon: it can distract from those nude pictures floating around the Net of Rod's scary son.
Witnesses say that Stewart and his pals returned around 4 a.m. and began throwing bricks, rocks, a mailbox and a trash can at a Ford F150. Alledgedly, Stewart then tried to open the truck door, at which point he and two other men started punching a husband and wife who were seated inside.
TMZ spoke with the man inside the truck, who claims his wife suffered "massive lacerations to her legs" from windshield glass. He says that after the alleged attack, he took her to Cedars Sinai Hospital where she was treated.
The LAPD confirms Hollywood detectives are investigating the incident.

A Lagos-based constitutional lawyer and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Chief Mike Ozekhome, has warned President Muhammadu Buhari not to take away the freedom of speech the same way he has allegedly taken food from the mouths Nigerians.
Ozekhome was reacting to accusation by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, that the nation's media was "promoting hate speeches" and not supporting government.
The senior lawyer pointed out that a report could not amount to hate speech when the media was accurately narrating events that took place.
Fielding questions from Sun, Ozekhome explained, "You are merely narrating an event that took place and in the write-up, some of us told the President what to do.
"For instance, we told him to relocate the Inspector General of Police and send the military there because the police do not have the capacity to curtail the issue.
"The military should be redeployed to states, like Benue, Taraba and Plateau the way they were taken to Umuahia when IPOB was exiting.
"So, if you make a comparative analysis about what is happening, how does it amount to hate speech? Except if they want to finally take away our freedom of speech in this country because they have already taken away the food from our table.
"If they want to take away our God-given freedom of speech, then they have to tell us.
"The media is the fourth estate of the realm and it is the only entity empowered by Section 22 of the 1999 constitution to hold the government accountable and responsible to the people of Nigeria.
"The media's job is to keep the government on its toes. Did the media not keep Goodluck Jonathan's government on its toes and he was subsequently removed, in preference to President Muhammadu Buhari?
"The All Progressives Congress (APC) leveraged and used the media effectively to oust Jonathan; so, why are they suddenly getting touchy about how the media reports events? Do they not know that what goes around comes around?
"The media was carrying out its constitutional responsibility and when Jonathan was overwhelmed, he threw in the towel even before the last results were announced.
"The government would be joking to expect every media in Nigeria to support it."

The Sonora High football team hosted the Bret Harte Bullfrogs on a drizzly Friday, winning the last game of the Mother Lode League regular season by a score of 70-15.
The Wildcats took control of the game as early as they possibly could when junior wide receiver Evan Bearden ran the opening kickoff back 68 yards for a touchdown. A successful point after kick put Sonora up 7-0 with 11:51 left in the opening period. The Wildcats then forced a quick punt, and scored again on their first play from scrimmage. Junior quarterback Jake Gookin ran the 43 yard touchdown in, and within the first two minutes of the game, Sonora led 14-0. From there, the Wildcats opened a relentless assault upon the Bullfrogs on both sides of the ball, forcing another punt and then quickly scoring again. Gookin ran in his second touchdown of the evening to put the Wildcats up 21-0 with 7:24 left in the first quarter.
Bret Harte showed some life after a defensive pass interference penalty on fourth down gave them a new set of downs at the Sonora 40-yard line. Junior Bullfrog quarterback Ryan Kraft then threw a 40 yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Julian Gonzalez, and a successful point after kick left the score at 21-7 with 4:37 left in the quarter.
Senior wide receiver Rico Sanchez then ran out of the backfield for a five yard touchdown, and Gookin later scored his third rushing touchdown. By the end of the first quarter, Sonora led 35-7.
The second quarter was no different, with three different Wildcats scoring four more touchdowns before the end of the period. Senior fullback Jack Camara rushed for 17- and 8- yard touchdowns, while junior running back C.J. Castleman scored from 30 yards out and junior running back Mike McKernon scored from the 19-yard line. Junior defensive back Aki Loh then intercepted a Kraft pass to end the half, and Sonora headed to the locker room up 63-7.
The Bullfrogs received the second half kickoff, but on their first play senior Wildcat defensive end Kyle Graham forced a fumble, and junior linebacker Tristan Hagstrom recovered for Sonora at the Bullfrog 46-yard line. The Bret Harte defense then held strong in one of the few highlights of their game and forced a turnover on downs to end the third quarter. Junior Wildcat defensive back Caleb Smith then intercepted another Kraft pass, returning the ball to the Bullfrog 13-yard line. Kraft took a brutal hit on the play and left the game. McKernon then scored another eight yard rushing touchdown, and with 6:35 left in the game and a continuously running clock, Sonora led 70-7.
On the ensuing Bret Harte possession, senior Bullfrog running back Javon Gilbert ran for an 85-yard touchdown, and a successful two-point conversion left the Wildcats up 70-15 with three minutes remaining. Sonora then easily ran out the clock to secure the victory.
"We came out and did what we were supposed to do," Sonora head coach Bryan Craig said following the game. "We executed and I'm proud of them."
"We didn't have the size on our offensive or defensive line, and it showed," said Bret Harte coach Casey Kester. "Senior lineman Jonathan Miramontes gave everything he possibly could given his size. At some point in time, the guys were just coming off the field cross-eyed. It was extraordinarily difficult. We were overmatched. Sonora has established coaches and an established weight lifting program, and that's been the story all year. But most of our skill guys are juniors, so they'll be back next season. We had to stop them at one point, but we just couldn't stop them."
The Bullfrogs finished the season at 2-8 overall and 1-5 in the league.
The Wildcats improved to 6-0 in league play, winning the league outright, and finished the season at 8-2 overall. The team finds out their next opponent and location for the first round of the Division V CIF Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs during a selection session on Saturday. "We don't know for sure, but we should be at home," Craig said. The game is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m.
