Five-star defensive tackle Torrey Davis of Seffner Armwood tops the final Rivals.com Florida Top 100 for the Class of 2007.
One of the nation's top overall prospects, the 6-foot-5, 290-pound Davis is committed to Florida. The Gators also hold a verbal commitment from the state's second-ranked overall prospect, offensive guard James Wilson of Saint Augustine Nease.
Davis has everything you want in a defensive lineman. He's big, he's agile, he's quick off the ball. When his motor is running, he's nearly impossible to block one-on-one. Pass rushing is his strength and it won't be a surprise if he makes an impact in that category early in his career at UF.
Wilson is the most athletic lineman in the country and from a physical standpoint is college-ready. The Gators wrestled him away from Southern California, where he verbally committed in August, earlier this month.
North Fort Myers running back Noel Devine, Lynn Haven Mosley running back Enrique Davis and North Miami Beach cornerback prospect Doug Wiggins round out the top five.
Devine has been one of the most discussed prospects in the nation and perhaps has the best highlight reel of any prospect during the past decade. He is still open with regards to his college decision and new schools seemingly pop up on the list daily.
Davis is perhaps the most complete back in the Southeast this year. He's got good size, vision and speed. He's heading to Auburn, where he almost certainly will carry on that program's tradition of producing great backs.
Wiggins jumps into the top five after a standout senior year in which he led his team to the state semifinals from the quarterback position and also after a stellar performance in the Offense-Defense All-American bowl at cornerback. Wiggins shut down some of the nation's best receivers during that week of practice and also the game itself.
If the Class of 2006 Rivals.com Florida rankings were any indication, these five prospects could be seeing action early in their college careers.
Consider the following:
-Last year's top overall prospect in the Sunshine State, C.J. Spiller, was a freshman All-American at Clemson this season, rushing for 914 yards and 10 touchdowns while splitting time with sophomore James Davis.
-The state's second-ranked prospect from one year ago, offensive tackle Sam Young, was an opening-day starter for Notre Dame.
-Tim Tebow, the state's third-ranked prospect, saw spot duty at quarterback for Florida, helping the Gators to the National Championship.
-Daron Rose avoided a redshirt at Florida State from all indications could be the Seminoles' left tackle of the future. Rose was rated fourth in the final rankings.
-Like Tebow, Jarred Fayson saw spot duty for the Gators, totaling 126 rushing yards and a touchdown.
Rounding out the top 10 on this year's Florida top 100 are Fort Lauderdale Saint Thomas Aquinas safety Major Wright (undecided), Bushnell South Sumter linebacker Kendall Smith (committed to Florida State), Ocala Trinity Catholic quarterback John Brantley (committed to Florida), Belle Glade Glades Central wide receiver Deonte Thompson (undecided) and Hialeah Miami Lakes running back Armando Allen (committed to Notre Dame).

Every year, at the peak of tourist season, Siesta Key Village bustles with a curious crowd browsing crafts and fine art during Siesta Fiesta. What started as a juried fine-art show 41 years ago to attract visitors to the sleepy Siesta Key Village has now blossomed into a large-scale annual street party featuring 250 artists from 30 states.
Siesta Fiesta was born over a cup of coffee in 1971, between Foxy Lady owner Lorry Eible and Louise Chappel, who at the time owned antique shop The Key Hole in the Village.
"We used to talk about what we could do to get some kind of recognition of what we are as far as Siesta Village goes," said Eible. "We came up with the idea of a juried art show in the streets."
In 1972, the Siesta Key Village Association rounded up 12 local artists and put on the first Siesta Fiesta. Siesta Key merchants met at 8 a.m., before their shops opened, to organize the show. They used the proceeds to beautify Siesta Key Village.
"It started off as a high-level art show with real artisans who were absolutely local," Eible said. "They needed exposure and so did we, so it worked both ways." Merchants such as John Davidson, Sunny Sears, Dale Six, Cheryl Duley, Eible and Chappel spent countless hours working together to put on the show to help the Village grow into what it is today.
"It was a closer-knit community back then," Eible said. "A lot of the newer merchants aren't as involved in helping the Village grow like we were in the beginning, because now we have a developed area."
In a few years, as the show grew in popularity, merchants needed help organizing it. First they hired Siesta Key resident Sharon Krall. In the late 80s, early 90s when the show had grown even larger, Howard Alan, of Howard Alan Events, took over the show. Alan's company still organizes the event today.
"He made it a lot more popular," said Davidson.
Alan remembers Siesta residents opposing the huge show his first year because the streets had to be closed off.
"In the beginning, Siesta Fiesta was a major party and then really toned down over the years," Alan said. "Merchants and restaurants wanted to make Siesta Fiesta a respectable event."
Elaine Laurent, a vendor of Siesta Fiesta who makes mixed-media art and lived on Siesta Key in her late 20s, remembers attending the show with her grandmother as a teenager.
"It's evolved. It was a bit more exclusive and didn't have the craft side for a long time," Laurent said.
Although Siesta Fiesta is not the juried high-class art show the merchants intended for it to be in the beginning, there is little doubt that it served its original purpose of helping put Siesta Key on the map. And on April 13 and April 14, thousands of people will flock the streets of Siesta Key to browse the variety of arts and crafts offered.
Fair-goers will find art that ranges from $25 to $30,000. A portion of the proceeds still benefits the Siesta Key Village Association. According to Alan, this year they expect 60,000 people to attend during the course of the weekend.
Also this year there will be an art festival giveaway. Art festival patrons can register to win a 12-inch-by-18 inch print of photographer Linda Mayeswin's "Day at the Beach," valued at $85.

The Leaf Chronicle
Fort Campbell, KY | February 6, 2013
A new scholarship opportunity is being offered by Lend Lease (US) Community Fund (LLCF) to sons and daughters of Service Members who live in a Lend Lease privatized military community, like Campbell Crossing, and attend the installation's DoDEA high school. There are currently only three locations where this is possible: Fort Knox and Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
"BlueStar Scholarships was created to recognize the service of the military personnel living in our homes and communities and to honor the many sacrifices of their children," said Phillip Carpenter, president of Lend Lease (US) Community Fund. "We hope this scholarship will enable more students to pursue higher education and develop into valued leaders in their fields of study as well as give back to the communities in which they live."
In the program's first year, LLCF, through BlueStar Scholarships, plans to award a total of twelve (12) $5,000.00 scholarships to eligible applicants for the upcoming 2013-2014 school year. Four of the 12 available scholarships will go to seniors in the graduating class of 2013 at Fort Campbell High School.
Program materials, including the application form and eligibility requirements, are available on the Campbell Crossing Website at www.campbellcrossingllc.com/Bluestar. Students can also see their high school guidance counselor to obtain information. The BlueStar Scholarships program is now open and accepting applications through April 1, 2013.

I was very fortunate to receive an invitation to visit the White House last Thursday. I was among a delegation of 40 community leaders from across the state of North Carolina who were asked to join in a conversation with the White House Office of Community Engagement about the impending fiscal cliff.
Now the fiscal cliff isn't exactly my top issue, but I figured that there was no good reason to turn down an invitation to The White House. So while President Obama was having lunch with Mitt Romney and Joe Biden was at a local Costco (see that link for some amusing pictures), we were talking about why it's important for our country to find a balanced approach to solve this fiscal crisis.
Many members of our delegation pointed out that the country's poor are likely to suffer the most from government spending cuts that would come with the cliff. That includes the 1.6 million North Carolinians living in poverty, including 600,000 children.
The White House is emphasizing the $2000 that a tax hike would cost middle class families. The Republican plan is patently unfair, asking middle class families to sacrifice in order to keep tax rates low for millionaires and billionaires.
What does this mean for Chapel Hill and Carrboro? I pointed out that a cut in Title I and Title III education funding would eliminate teacher jobs and reduce services to poor students and English Language Learners. Some members of the delegation from UNC described how the fiscal cuts would hurt science researchers and health care providers. Across the state there were concerns about military spending, Medicaid and medicare recipients, and unemployment benefits.
So, let's sum this up… The President wants millionaires and billionaires to pay a little more. The GOP want to cut spending and hurt the poor, the middle class, education, science research and more. And you (yes, YOU!) can really make a difference by doing one more thing beyond listening to this rant… Contact your Senators and Representative (especially the ones who don't support the President's agenda).

Years ago for Sunday, Oct 27, 2013
Oct. 24, 2013 at 5:24 a.m.
Oct. 28 - The state attorney general's department having approved of the bonds, the construction of Inez's new school house will be started in a few days. It will cost $1,500. Bloomington, Placedo and Lake Placedo are also to have new school houses. The one at Bloomington will cost $8,000, and those at Placedo and Lake Placedo $7,000 each. Bonds were voted for the erection of all these school houses.
Nov. 1 - C.A. Thetford and family of Houston are in the city on a visit. This is the first time they have been here in 13 years, and they are much surprised at the growth of the town. Mr. Thetford was formerly engaged in agricultural pursuits in this county. He is now employed as conductor by the Houston Street Car Company.
Oct. 29 - A total of 8,643 bales of cotton had been ginned in Victoria County up to, but not including, October 18, L.L.B. Hofer, government statistician, announced. Up to the same period last year, 15,983 bales of the 1937 crop had been ginned.
Nov. 2 - The Athletic Council announced that a special train will be chartered to take students and other fans to the Yorktown-Victoria football game in Yorktown. The fare will be 90 cents for the round trip. The train has been chartered in order to lessen the danger of accidents on the highway to students and townspeople alike. The game will be for the championship of the East Zone of District 44-B.
Oct. 27 - Leo Anger, chairman of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce fire safety committee, recently presented awards to sixth grade essay winners Ann Ballard, first, a $25 bond; and Rawley Brown and Mary Helen Rakowitz, who tied for second, $7.50 each.
Oct. 30 - Thirteen Victoria High School students will enter the Bellaire Houston High School Forensic Tournament which will be held Friday and Saturday. The tournament is the largest high school event of its kind in the nation. Some 1,400 contestants representing 61 high schools and 10 colleges from five states will compete. Entering from Victoria will be Danny Kamin, Martha Rouse, Carol Ann Basso, Bob Houston, Margery Engle, Gail Gerrard, Marti Albrecht, Glen Gisler, Elisabeth Jacques, Kathleen Baker, Sylvia Sager, Mary Lee Person and Nancy Knight.
Oct. 31 - Six new directors have been elected by members of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce to three-year terms. The 225 ballots cast placed Dr. Charles Borchers, Jack Bright, R.H. (Dick) Cory, C.A. Dickerson Jr., Louis Gasche and Otto Schuenemann on the 18-member board. The new directors will join one-year directors including Henry Hauschild Jr., Bill Klotz, R.R. Martin, J.D. Moore, G.C. Pittman and Ray Langford, and two-year directors including Robet Barry, Richard Cullen, James Garrison, Dr. R.H. Hartman, Robert C. Martin and Bill Ruddock.
Oct. 27 - Victoria's newest cafeteria chef, Tom Cunningham, has a direct way of measuring customer satisfaction: "I look at what's in the garbage can more than what's on the tray."
Not that Cunningham expects to find a lot of his creations - chicken fajitas, pizza, steak, guacamole salad - on the reject-list of his young clientele, the 14,000 students in the Victoria school system.
"They are our customers," says Cunningham, who thinks children ought to like what they have to eat at school for breakfast and lunch.
That means tailoring menus to some of the youngsters' favorites. Chicken nuggets are the top choice locally, he says.
But Victoria children hate egg rolls, as Cunningham says he found out when he was scouting around in the cavernous food service warehouse, where boxes of egg rolls were store.
Just as he began to work egg rolls into the weekly menus, his staffers told him that the Oriental treat had flunked the customer test last year. There was no need to wait for the daily peering into garbage cans.
Cunningham says he judges that the local schools' menus are too high in fat content: "About 35 percent of the calories are in fat." The fat content ought to be 30 percent or less, says Cunningham. To help lower the count, a fat analyzer has been ordered this fall.
Oct. 28 - Any report of a final decision by Formosa Plastics Corp., on the location of a $3.2 billion petrochemical plant is premature until a final review is conducted by Formosa chairman Y.C. Wang, said acting plant manager of the Point Comfort Formosa facility Larry Peyton Thursday night.
Reports circulated Thursday in Victoria and Port Lavaca that the location of the plant would be disclosed Monday in Port Lavaca.
Having just completed talks with the governor of Louisiana that day, Peyton said Wang is expected to arrive in Texas as early as this weekend. He is expected to be in Calhoun County late next week.
At that point, said Peyton, Wang will be presented with "all the information to make a decision. There's a chance Wang will make the decision during his visit."
One source, asking not to be identified, said there was a 99 percent probability that the new plant will be located at Point Comfort, where Formosa presently operates a facility.
Actually, said Peyton, it is still a toss-up between Texas and Louisiana.

With a 3-1 victory over the Montreal Impact on Saturday evening, the Chicago Fire moved into second place in the Eastern Conference. After falling behind in the 20th minute, the Fire's trio of midseason acquisitions Sherjill MacDonald, Alex (whose goal is up for MLS Goal of the Week) and Alvaro Fernandez lead the charge as the Men in Red scored three unanswered goals. Catch all of the highlights here.
MacDonald, who hadn't found the back of the net in nearly a month, said that a chat with Head Coach Frank Klopas helped him relax and alleviate the pressure that he put on himself, leading to his goal Saturday night.
With six game remaining in the MLS Regular Season, the Fire are within reach of a 'ridiculous' goal of 60 points that they set during preseason. "We're going for it," said midfielder Patrick Nyarko.
As the Fire continue to gain points, folks are taking note of the Fire's recent run of good form. In his most recent MLS Power Rankings for ESPN, Jeff Carlisle had the Fire in second place, up three spots from last week.
ESPN wasn't the only one taking notice as the Fire were named Soccer by Ives' Team of the Week.
The Fire's run of form could be attributed to the current depth of the squad as the Fire continued to make moves prior to the MLS Roster Freeze on Friday. On Monday, Sept. 10 the Fire acquired midfielder Wells Thompson from the Colorado Rapids and on Friday, Sept. 14 the Men in Red added two-time World Cup veteran and Mexican international Guillermo Franco.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hi since nobody else is having problems I must be doing something wrong.
For my pm message is currently set to:
Send Thermalzombie a Message
In my settings for the plugin inside the textbox all that is entered is:
Did you put something like this: "Send {user} a Message}" (without quotes) inside the settings box and then click 'save'?
The default should populate that box to 'PM' unless if you've changed it.
No all that is in the box is PM tried re-enabaling it as well still the same.
Try putting the following in that box:
Send {user} a Message
The box should be populated with 'PM' upon default. If the plugin does not find the string, "{user}", then it will default to simply providing a link with the alt text as "PM" under each discussion.
"{user}" will be substituted with the discussion author's username. You can place this into whatever string you want to be displayed. I listed an example in the settings. You don't have to use that exact string for it to work.
I am sorry I am not good at explaining things.
this is what is displayed in forum.
Send Thermalzombie a Message
No matter what I put in Plugin box this does not change. I tried putting.
Send {user} a Message
and then saving then I tried entering.
PM saving then tried Contact Me and in forum nothing changes.
Is this information stored in the database can I change it there.
Thanks for replying.
Ah, it appears that I upload the testing file from my local copy instead of what I had on my server. I'll update the plugin. If you want to, just delete line 30 in class.pm.plugin.php
Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks I deleted line 30 and is now fixed thanks.
I installed and enabled but it don't show. I put (user)
Text to Display
Use {user} to substitute in a username in the text
Example: Send {user} a Message => "Send Admin a Message" << not sure what this means
If you use this
{user} in the input box, then the username will be substitute into it. It probably makes more sense if you just look at the code for the plugin:
$Text = C('Plugin.PM.Text', 'PM');
$Needle = '{user}';
$Pos = strpos($Text,$Needle);
$Text = str_replace($Needle, $UserName, $Text);

NLDS featuring historic organizations
By Tom Singer / MLB.com
ST. LOUIS -- In addressing a Division Series between two teams with as rich a heritage as his Pirates and the Cardinals, Bucs manager Clint Hurdle didn't even realize this is but a chapter of an unprecedentedly traditional Major League postseason.
Seven of the eight playoff teams are among the big leagues' 16 charter franchises. The Tampa Bay Rays are the only expansion-era crashers. This marks the first time since the 1995 onset of the Division Era that only one post-1961 expansion team is in the postseason field.
"Old-school baseball is back," Hurdle grinned.
"I've always been intrigued by tradition within the game, and these are two of the more historic organizations. I'm fortunate that I've gotten to spend time in both the uniforms," added Hurdle, who played five positions as a St. Louis utilityman during the 1986 season.
The Cards' franchise "drips with tradition, with respect, with integrity, with professionalism," said Hurdle, for whom one simple sign stood out from the raucous PNC Park crowd for Tuesday night's National League Wild Card Game against the Reds.
"It was, 'We're back,' and the sustainability [the Cardinals'] organization has proven is our next step," Hurdle said. "It's always good to get here. But the sustainability built over time truly is what separates organizations."
Jones, not Snider, picked as lefty bat off bench
ST. LOUIS -- In streamlining the Pirates' 25-man roster for the National League Division Series, manager Clint Hurdle apparently faced only one thorny decision.
With starting pitchers A.J. Burnett and Charlie Morton having to be added, two position players had to go from the 25-man roster that was used Tuesday night for the NL Wild Card Game.
Third catcher Tony Sanchez was an easy choice for Hurdle, who cited John Buck's experience, but noted even he "isn't going to play much," with starter Russell Martin strapped in for the duration.
The left-handed bat for the bench was more of an issue. Travis Snider has three pinch-hit homers and seven RBIs in a pinch. Ultimately, Hurdle and staff went with Garrett Jones, who was only 4-for-29 (.138) as a pinch-hitter, but offers the flexibility of being able to play two positions, the outfield in addition to first base.
Hurdle tabbed Jose Tabata as the other reserve outfielder on the 25-man roster, the likely first man off his bench, and cited the pinch-hitting success of another righty hitter, Josh Harrison, whose eight pinch-hits included four for extra bases, two of them home runs.
The versatile Harrison could also be critical for double-switches involving infielders.
"You have to prepare for five games," Hurdle stressed. "We'd be hard-pressed to replace [third baseman Pedro Alvarez] ... if Harrison isn't involved. You have [Jordy] Mercer, but [if he is needed at third] ... you don't have an opportunity to move [starting shortstop Clint Barmes].
"[There are a] lot of things to look at. [It was] not an easy decision by any means. But at the end of the day, we feel we're best suited to take on this five-game series with Harrison and Jones in play."
Hurdle keeps pregame message simple
ST. LOUIS -- A couple of hours before the start of Thursday's Game 1 of the National League Division Series, someone wondered whether Clint Hurdle would go all Knute Rockne on his Bucs.
You know, lower his head and raise his voice. Maybe even crush an origami cardinal, for effect?
Those familiar with the Pirates and their regimen already knew the answer, of course. One of the manager's pet phrases, "The game doesn't know the game is important," is a reminder that the game itself doesn't change -- regardless of the stakes changing -- so neither should players' approach to it.
Doing something as irregular as giving a pregame speech obviously would bring the Pirates out of this sameness mode.
"No, I don't have rah-rah in me," Hurdle confirmed. "We've had a program set up all year. It hasn't changed because of the venue, it hasn't changed because of the opposition, and it's not changed because of the degree of the game or the fact that we're in postseason.
"We do prepare our men every series. We have [maybe] a 10-minute coach-up, coach-forward program. We speak one highlight from the past series, one thing we want to accentuate for the forward series. I get two minutes, the other eight coaches get one minute, and we go. That's it."
First number, last word
1,250: Career regular-season games played by Marlon Byrd before homering in his first postseason at-bat, in the second inning of Tuesday's National League Wild Card Game. The only player in Major League history to homer in his first postseason at-bat after a longer wait was Hall of Fame third baseman Brooks Robinson, who hit one out of Dodger Stadium off Don Drysdale in the first inning of the 1966 World Series after a wait of 1,406 games.
"We left here with a bad taste in our mouths." -- Hurdle, on the Pirates getting swept in their most recent Busch Stadium visit, on Sept. 6-8
Worth noting
• Hurdle was confident Mark Melancon, who has been scored upon in three of his last four appearances, would have his A-list cutter back after a four-day layoff since his previous outing on Saturday. Melancon led Pirates pitchers with 72 appearances, and even with the rough finish, he wound up with the lowest ERA (1.39) in club history of anyone with 50-plus relief innings.
• Byrd said he is OK with it if people begin calling him by a new nickname, Charlie Parker. The outfielder laughed heartily when reminded that Parker, the great jazz saxophonist, was better known by his nickname, Bird. Even better, according to his biographer, Parker's full nickname, which was usually shortened, was actually Yardbird.

to mee it seems like proto-buddhism
Main Points in Jainism
- Every living being has a soul.
- Every soul is potentially divine and has the innate qualities of infinite knowledge, infinite perception, infinite power, and infinite bliss. Have benevolence for all living beings.
- Therefore, regard every living being as yourself and harm no one.
- Every soul is born as a celestial, human, sub-human or hellish being according to its own karmas.
- Every soul is the architect of its own life, here or hereafter.
- When a soul becomes freed from karmas, it gets God-consciousness (infinite knowledge, infinite perception, infinite power, and infinite bliss) and becomes liberated.
- Right faith, Right knowledge and Right Conduct (triple gems of Jainism) provide the way to this realisation.
- Non-violence (Ahimsa) is the basis of right faith, the condition of right knowledge and the kernel of right conduct.
- Control your senses.
- Limit your possessions and lead a pure life of usefulness to yourself and others. Ownership of an object by itself is not possessiveness; however attachment to an object is possessiveness
- Enjoy the company of the holy and better qualified, be merciful to those who are afflicted and be tolerant towards those who are perversely inclined.
- Four things are difficult to attain by a soul: human birth, knowledge of the law, faith in it and the pursuit of the right path.
- It is important not to waste human life in evil ways. Instead, we should strive to rise up on the ladder of spiritual evolution
even their "saints" look like the Buddha

Spider Crickets can become a pest in and around the home. Most pests want to live where people live, but these crickets are different. They love dark, damp, cave-like settings where they can nest. These environments provide both water and food. Spider crickets can live in a home for long periods of time without residents knowing. As their population increases, some will get into living areas. This will prompt the homeowner to treat. Before we discuss methods of spider cricket control, it is important that you understand some basic biology of this pest.
Spider crickets appear throughout most of the United States. They will move into areas around the home taking up residence under porches and sheds. They love moisture and darkness. Such areas produce fungus and mold – both of which can feed this species of cricket. In addition to mold and fungus, spider crickets will feed on fabric. This becomes a problem in the home since migrating crickets can cause substantial damage if left unchecked.
Once crickets are established around the home, they will readily move inside for shelter from the hot summer heat. Crawl spaces and basements provide excellent nest sights. If you are finding some in your basement, treat early. It is easier to get control of this cricket before it is established. If you have a home with a crawl space, it is important that you check periodically. Such inspections may reveal pest problems. If you find crickets during any inspection, try to treat it as soon as possible. Since spider crickets reproduce quickly, it is wise to get rid of them before populations swell.
If the population is large, expect to have them migrating out of the crawl space and into living areas of the home. This is disconcerting to residents since this cricket is unusual to look at. It is almost hairy looking with all it's antennae. Since it grows large, many people are surprised at just how big they are. Another unique feature of this cricket is that they jump randomly and are more likely to jump at you than away from you. It is believed this is due to how they see. Their vision is such that it appears to them they are moving away from it's predator but in fact they are moving towards it. Some people speculate this has lead the species to appear to be attacking which in turn chases away would-be predators. Whatever the reason, keep in mind they cannot bite or sting. Even still, having a large unusual insect jumping at you will probably feel disconcerting.
Another problem with letting spider cricket populations going unchecked is that they can cause a lot of damage to fabric. They love to eat both synthetic and man made material including rugs, furniture, books, canvas, clothing, boxes, linen, drapery, and just about anything we have in our living area. This can lead to damage which looks like some type of moth. Because this cricket is rather large and meaty, mice and rats are fond of them. Many times rats and mice will take advantage of populations which are active in your home. This could lead to rat and mouse infestations as well and will require more even pest control! Because of the problems associated with letting cave crickets live in your home, it is wise to take action to stop such infestations.
If you think some are getting into living areas because you have seen droppings or damaged fabric, set out some GLUE TRAP MONITORS in areas where such activity is suspected. They will readily attract crickets because they provide the type of shelter spider crickets like. If you catch one every few months, there isn't much of a problem. However, if you are catching one or more a week, it is time to start doing some cricket control!
Spider cricket control is usually easy. The key is attacking them where they want to live. Since they start from the outside, it is usually recommended that you do something to control outside populations. The best way to do this is with CONQUER EC. This is a low odor material which mixes with water. Simply spray foundation walls, around windows, around doorways and under decks or sheds. Use a standard SPRAYER and treat a 5 foot band. Any structure close to the home which may be harboring crickets should be treated thoroughly. By controlling them outside, you will be stopping migration into your home. This will ultimately prevent re-infestation. Use a gallon or two of Conquer every month or two to keep them out. Conquer works on other pests as well but is particularly active on crickets. Don't waste your time with Dursban or Diazinon. These products won't work for your cricket problem.
If you have them inside the home, it will take more than just perimeter treating the outside of the house. It will take one of these two treatment methods if your intention is to get rid of them once and for all. Ignoring them won't work; allowing them to continually reproduce and nest in certain areas of the home will essentially mean there will be a constant supply of new ones. Though the use of some Glue Monitors listed above can help catch some which enter, they won't control local reproduction. Not even the BUG VACUUM/ZAPPER can do this; ultimately you will have to attack them where they live. For mild or light infestations where you have access to crawl spaces or basements where the crickets are reproducing, you can use NIBAN FG bait. This light granule is easy to apply and can be used safely both inside living areas as well as in crawl spaces or basements. Crickets love this product and will readily feed on it. This will lead to a quick death of in house populations. Apply it with a BAIT APPLICATOR inside the home for precise crack and crevice treatments. If you have crawl spaces or basements where nesting is thought to be happening, apply the Niban there as well. This can be done by simply sprinkling the product from the container. If you don't have access to your crawl space, apply it with a DUSTIN MIZER. This hand powered device will propel the Niban up to 20 feet and will let you treat hard to access crawl spaces that are either too small to enter or simply too dirty to crawl through. Treatments will last 1-3 months depending on the level of infestation. Severe populations will require more frequent treatments until the insects have subsided. Finished basements are harder to treat, but can be tackled with bait as well. Use the Bait Applicator to apply the Niban behind wall voids, inside electric outlets and into drop ceilings. These are classic problem areas. By direct baiting, you will be getting to where the crickets are living and reproducing. Try to get some treatment behind walls as well. Your efforts will pay off by allowing the bait to affect more crickets quicker. When combined with outside treatments of Conquer, you will be able to control existing populations as well as keep new ones from coming back. For severe infestations or if you want quicker results, a more aggressive approach is suggested.
Although baiting for crickets will work when populations are small and specific, treating with dusts and sprays inside will yield quicker and more thorough results. For homeowners with infested crawl spaces and/or basements, this may prove to be the best method of treatment. This is particularly true when infestations have found their way behind finished walls of basements. Although baiting will provide some relief, many times this is simply not enough. Direct treating with DELTAMETHRIN DUST will prove to be much more effective. Apply the dust with a HAND DUSTER to all baseboards, switch plate covers, electric outlets, and moldings where you suspect they are entering as well as drop ceilings. Most finished basements have access to areas behind finished walls and from drop ceilings which enable easy treatment of these voids. Blow Deltamethrin Dust into all of these areas. One treatment will last 6-12 months and therefore will provide the longest control. This is important if you have a lot of reproduction going on in the walls. If you have a crawl space in addition to the basement, make sure to treat it as well. Sprinkle the Deltamethrin Dust throughout or apply it with the DUSTIN MIZER for those hard to access spaces. Such treatment is critical for long term success. In most cases, if these areas are treated right in the first place, the crickets never come back. Most people believe ants or roaches are more likely to live in such dark and damp areas. Although some may, most would much rather be in the living area of your home where it is warmer and better food is available. Spider Crickets are one insect that truly wants to be in the crawl space. Therefore, to solve the problem, you need to get them where they live.
Crickets are a common problem around the home and yard. Spider crickets will almost always infest crawl spaces or basements if left to do as they please. Once activity is noted outside the home, treat with Conquer to keep them out. If they have already gotten inside, bait with Niban for small infestations. Heavily infested areas should be aggressively treated with Deltamethrin Dust for the quickest and longest protection from future infestations.

Still in South Africa, by the time you read this, there will be quite likely be a crescendo of complaints about the time it is taking to get guns into the country. I was hearing of multi-hour waits in the airport by the end of last month. There were fears waiting times could stretch to four hours or more as the number of arriving hunters increases. My advice is to plan for this eventuality. Don't book a tight onward connection. Get off the plane resigned to your fate. Do not get angry or impatient.
In the midst of this turmoil, we have learned that Johan Coetzer, formally of the airport Meet and Greet Service, Optima, has left that firm and started his own company devoted to helping hunters get their guns into and out of the country. Coetzer earned many rave reviews while at Optima. With him no longer at Optima, we withdraw our previous recommendation of the company as anything more than a general airport expeditor service. Their expeditor service may well still be worth it, but we are not confident anyone there can handle the many details involved in clearing guns in and out of the country. For........(continued)

Beating the Book
By Christopher Liss
RotoWire Managing Editor
Betting Tips
Another tough week brings me to 1-9, but the Super Bowl has got to be worth 10 points given how many people bet it - and do so disproportionately. Of course, if that's true, then a loss makes me 1-19. Seriously, though, I wouldn't be surprised with any mark over a 10-game sample. I'd rather it not be in the playoffs when it makes up the entirety of my record, but it is what it is. Go ahead and kill me in the comments if you like.
Saints +5.5 vs. Colts
There's not much mystery about this game. The Colts, who could be undefeated, have been the most consistent team all year. And they have the league's best player who destroyed the league's best defense in a way that no one, not even Philip Rivers at home, came close to doing.
But the Saints have been the best team all year, with the biggest point differential and one that went 7-1 on the road (and might have gone 8-0 if they didn't pull Drew Brees in Week 17). So you have the team that was consistently good with the league's best player against the team whose "A" game was better than anyone's, but looked out of sorts at times, never more so than in the fourth quarter against the Vikings when they couldn't close the deal no matter how many fumbles Minnesota handed them.
So the issue here is really whether the Saints play their "A" game or bring something less. If it's the former, they cover, and possibly win outright. If it's the latter, the Colts win and likely cover. So which Saints team shows up this week, the one against Arizona and New England, or the one against the Vikings and Dallas?
I honestly don't know. I can't envision New Orleans' defense getting to Peyton Manning with any consistency, and in that case, I expect him to carve them up. On the other side of the ball, I could see it either way - Brees lighting up a very solid Colts pass defense. Or Brees having enough trouble with it to put the Saints in the hole. I'd like to root for New Orleans, and they seem like the savvy play with the line moving up and most people on the Colts, but I'm sticking with Indy because I feel more confident they'll play their best. Back the Colts.
Colts 31 - 21
I went 0-2 last week to go 1-9 overall on the playoffs. I was 131-122-3 on the season. From 1999-2008, we were 1308-1140 - not including ties - (53.4 percent).

The High Price of Being the First Lady
After I finished reading the New York Times bestselling book, The Obamas, by Times reporter Jodi Kantor, I came to this not-so-pretty conclusion: It sucks to be the first lady.
Wait . . . let me add a caveat or two: If you are a woman who a) has ambition b) is educated c) has a profession that you like d) want to actively be engaged in public policy issues (and have the experience/expertise to do so) e) want to be free from non-stop harassment about everything from your clothing and parenting, to your vacations and relationship with your spouse, then living in the Oval Office as the first spouse would be a crappy job for you.
No way would I want to be standing in Michelle Obama's shoes, even if they happen to be pricey, designer pumps and she has a household staff that cooks, cleans and carts her kids around. (I could sure use a staff, but I'm not willing to pay that she's paid the price she's had to pay for it.)
As I read The Obamas, I kept shaking my head and wondering why anyone would actually want to be a first lady, a thankless, largely ceremonial post that requires women to walk around like big targets who get criticized for everything and anything they do. The first spouse is given precious little power, even though she's expected to use her political influence and wifely charm to get her husband elected, appear at fundraisers for her husband's political party and support other party candidates whether she likes the person or not. It's an unpaid job where she gets little say in her daily life - there are all these so-called "mandatory" lunches and events to which the first lady is involuntarily signed up to attend - and if she dares to object to anything, be anything other than a lackey who is expected to jump when the presidential aides say, "Jump," she's called a diva, a pain in the neck, an elitist, spoiled . . . the list of insults is long indeed.
We, apparently, still want our first ladies to be seen and not heard, unless the first spouses are talking about White House events, floral arrangements, classical music, tea parties and universally loved charities. We want them to look feminine and appear to be non-threatening, like a bouquet of old fashioned, hearty American daisies in a glass vase (transparent so we can see through it). We don't want to know or even think about a first lady -- regardless of how educated, professional or experienced she is - advising her husband, for whose campaign she toiled, on what to do in the highest office in the land.
"The role was just extremely difficult," Kantor wrote. "To be first lady meant enduring scrutiny and confinement; watching your husband make excruciating decisions and then be attacked for them; and advising in secret, rarely acknowledging your real influence. Openly influential first ladies like Nancy Reagan and Hillary Clinton were deemed meddlers, unelected figures who held unearned power . . . [The] hardworking, canny wives . . . were exiled to the East Wing and recast solely as helpmates." (It's worth pointing out that White House aides, who are apt to hound the first ladies, weren't elected either.)

Great Barrington woman pleads to sufficient facts in drug case
PITTSFIELD -- A Great Barrington woman who police said allowed a heroin dealer use her house as his base of operations had her case continued without a finding of guilt on Tuesday in Berkshire Superior Court.
Tina Haddock, 32, pleaded to sufficient facts for a finding of guilt on a single count of conspiracy to possess heroin with the intent to distribute the drug and had a charge of possession of heroin dismissed at the request of the Berkshire District Attorney's Office. She was ordered to serve a year of probation. The charge will be dismissed in a year if Haddock stays out of trouble.
On Aug. 1, members of the Great Barrington Police Department, along with the Berkshire County Drug Task Force, raided Haddock's apartment located in the housing complex on Christian Hill Road and arrested Haddock and Michael Crump, 35, of Winsted, Conn.
Police said at the time they found approximately 25 bags of heroin, $324 in cash and drug paraphernalia.
According to law enforcement officials, Crump provided Haddock with heroin in exchange for allowing him to stay in her apartment and deal drugs.
Haddock didn't participate in any drug dealing herself, according to her attorney.
The woman's two young children, now ages 3 and 6, were living at the house at the time, but were placed in the care of the state Department of Children and Families.
On Tuesday, Assistant Berkshire District Attorney Richard M. Locke told the court that Haddock was addicted to heroin at the time but is now clean and sober and is considering becoming a drug counselor.
"She's really turned her life around," the prosecutor told the court.
Haddock's attorney, Raymond J. Jacoub, said his client was enrolling in college and working toward getting custody of her children.
The plea deal between Locke and Jacoub, allows for Haddock to have her case dismissed after a year if she stays drug-free and out of trouble with the law. Judge Daniel A. Ford sentenced Haddock in line with the plea deal.
The case against Crump is still pending.

I have a couple of comments. First, I don't think the Twilight Saga as anything to do with the Wizard of Oz in any way, shape of form. It's a good question to think of the heart or the courage aspect of it, but when you start putting Bella in Dorothy's shoes and Edward as the Tin Man... all sorts of odd fan fic possibilities run through my head. And none of them are any good! LOL! Twilight is a love story while the only love being talked about in Oz is the love of home. The Wizard of Oz, while basically a children's story, is also something of a political satire of the 1900's where Dorothy is middle America, the Scarecow being the farmers, The Tin Man being industry, the lion being politicians, and OZ and it's wizard being FDR and his new deal. Seriously, I learned about this is high school. I bet you can Google it. So I didn't get what all the fuss was over likening Twilight to Oz. (And hey she is the WICKED Witch, not the Wicket Witch. She doesn't play croquet, does she?)
Second of all, HofJ stated that she didn't think neither Edward or Bella was searching for anything. I have to disagree. what I think is the more accurate statement is that they weren't ACTIVELY searching for anything. But I can't believe that Edward didn't hope that someday he would find someone that would move him the way Esme did for Carlisle. he constantly refers to the way Carlisle was before and after Esme was in his life. I think he envied that relationship. He even jokes about how much free time he had being on his own in a house full of happily partnered couples. So while he might not have been actively looking for her, I think he did eventually hope to find her and wasn't opposed to the idea. He just didn't expect her to be a frail, young human that smelled so good. Along the same lines, I think Bella hoped for that, too, someday. Is there really any human being alive that never ever wants or hopes to fall in love?
Lastly, about respect - you are very right in that demanding respect is impossible to do. It needs to be earned. Una has earned my respect for her work here at the Lexicon and in what I know of her as a person. That's why she was made a moderator. And I feel that given the way she has handled and put out the various small fires on the boards has given her the opportunity to earn the respect of the users here. So please, follow her nudging and keep the tone a bit lighter around here. You all have some of the best discussions going on, but the attitude can get a bit out of control. Honestly, some of your points have really been thought provoking, and considering that I've been talking Twilight since 2006, that's saying something! (But I still don't get the wizard of oz thing! LOL!)

Moore: Cowboys get much-needed win over Eagles with 'signature' plays
PHILADELPHIA — Only part of Sunday's game was about which one of these teams could keep their fading playoff hopes alive before the calendar turns to Thanksgiving.
The latest installment of the Cowboys-Eagles rivalry was more about which team would walk off Lincoln Financial Field as the bigger disappointment.
That distinction belongs to Philadelphia.
Shout it from the top of the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge. The Cowboys are not as bad as the Eagles. A 38-23 victory over a Philadelphia team forced to play the bulk of the final three quarters without starting quarterback Michael Vick allows that claim.
The Cowboys avoided the first three-game losing streak in Jason Garrett's coaching tenure by erupting for 21 points in a span of just under three minutes. In nudging their record to 4-5, the Cowboys accomplished a franchise first by scoring touchdowns on an interception return (Brandon Carr), a punt return (Dwayne Harris) and fumble recovery (Jason Hatcher).
"Any time you can score miscellaneous touchdowns in this league, you're going to have a good opportunity to win," Garrett said.
Any time you can play the Eagles these days, you're going to have a good opportunity to win. Philadelphia has now lost five straight for the first time under head coach Andy Reid.
But as tight end Jason Witten pointed out, no one should apologize for picking up a win in the NFL, especially a Cowboys team that was sorting through its own issues heading into this contest.
Please see Jimmy Johnson vs. Jerry Jones, take 2,000.
Please see a Cowboys team that ended the first half with one of their worst records in the franchise's proud history.
Forget about the impending fiscal cliff this country faces. The Cowboys would have been pushed off the playoff cliff if it had lost this game.
"It was big," said quarterback Tony Romo, who made a brilliant play near the end of the third quarter when the Cowboys trailed by a touchdown. "We understand the importance of this football game.
"Our team had the right approach all week and committed to what needed to be done to win this game."
Did this win save the season? Jones did not want to use those words.
"You can, but I don't want to," the Cowboys owner told reporters.
"But I know how important the game is to us with our chance to get into the playoffs."
The Cowboys are far from securing a playoff spot. The odds remain stacked against them. But as the New York Giants continue to come back to the NFC East pack, the Cowboys take some comfort in the knowledge that the most difficult part of their schedule is behind them.
Sunday's game completes an arduous stretch in which four of five games were played on the road. The Cowboys went 2-3 in that span, the minimum required to keep them competitively relevant.
"I don't know if you can exhale at 4-5, but it's good to get a win," Witten said. "There is still a lot of work to do to get back on the other side of it."
Garrett preaches daily the need for his team to play well in all three phases. For the first time this season, the Cowboys came up with what the coach calls "signature plays" in all three areas.
Harris' 78-yard punt return with 13:35 remaining broke open what had been a tie score. Carr came back 1:10 later with a 47-yard interception return for a touchdown. Hatcher closed out this unexpected flourish by recovering a fumble in the end zone after linebacker Anthony Spencer knocked the ball away from rookie quarterback Nick Foles.
"I don't think we were at our best, but we did a lot of really, really good things in all three phases to help us win this game," Garrett said.
That includes Romo. The quarterback has now gone two consecutive games without a turnover while still pulling plays out of his improvisational hat.
The Cowboys faced a third-and-5 late in the third quarter when Witten ran a corner route and Miles Austin ran underneath.
The Eagles took Witten out of the play and were sitting in a zone ready to blast Austin if he caught the ball. Romo escaped at least four tackles to extend the play and found Austin for a 25-yard gain.
Where does that scramble rank on Romo's list?
"I don't rank them, but that one is No. 1," the quarterback joked.
Three plays later, again on third down, Romo found Dez Bryant for a 30-yard touchdown that would send both teams into the final quarter tied at 17.
The nine-route Bryant ran on that play was similar to the one that fell incomplete seven days earlier against Atlanta. But Bryant ran a more precise route that allowed Romo to throw to his inside shoulder where the cornerback couldn't make the play.
Then it was time for the defense and special teams to take over.
"If we keep creating turnovers, and our special teams play well, we can be a good ballclub," Romo said.
"We really could."

Youre leaving? Already?
Have you even taken the time for the ear-plugging elevator ride to the 121st floor of our skyscraper or to cruise our newly tiled subway system?
I bet you havent. If youre a rider or team mechanic, youve probably been sequestered up at Fort Lewis College on the outskirts of town.
Or maybe youre a bike race fan and youve been wandering around downtown but never bothered to look way up or underground.
Its possible youre leaving Durango and thinking, quite simply and ignorantly, What a great cycling town.
Cycling town?
Is that all we are to you?
You come from foreign spots all over the globe Britain, Australia, Azerbaijan, Texas and then you ride around town for about an hour and whooshhh!! youre gone.
Is that any way to get to know a place?
Well, two weeks from now, when youre back on the Champs Élysées munching a croissant, or in the Outback hunting dingos or in Kazakhstan chasing women on horseback, dont forget about us. Dont forget what gracious hosts we were for the grand start of the 2012 USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
You wont forget this place, but I know what you will be talking about.
Oh, dat little Doo-rango. Eet vas so special. Vat a awesome place to bicycling.
Maybe someday youll come back to Durango, but not for our famed lobster sandwiches or caviar beignets. Not to thank the people who laid out the red carpet and made your stay so sweet (but short). Youll return for our cycling.
From casual riders to some of the worlds top pros, what makes Durango such a mecca for cyclists? Is it the location? Is it the weather? Is it the great community support for cycling?
Luck, answered Ed Zink, a member of the local group who talked Pro Cycling Challenge brass into making Durango this years launching pad.
Zink probably could have answered me, and there would have been some truth there. But, of course, that wouldnt be the full answer.
Its luck, Zink said, that we have a scenic and weather-friendly place in which to recreate. Its luck that we have not only a variety of paved paths for road cyclists, but a thousand miles of trails built by the extracting industry loggers, ranchers, miners. If Durangoans had been forced to start from scratch to build a system of cycling paths, we would never have gotten this far.
The right pieces fell in place, Zink said, so we, the community, could capitalize on it.
The first event to put Durango in the public eye, of course, was the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic. Its genesis was Durango cyclist Tom Mayer, who figured out he could beat the train to Silverton much to the surprise of his big brother, train conductor Jim Mayer.
Tom Mayer convinced others, including sporting goods shop owner Zink, that it was a cool ride. The first Iron Horse race took place in 1972, and under the leadership of Zink and others, its still going strong.
The cycling scene continually lured new blood. Ned Overend moved here from California in 1980 to, of course ...
Ha! Gotcha. Overend didnt come here for the cycling. At the time, he was more into running, and really it was backpacking and mountaineering that drew him here.
In the next year or two, though, he realized he could keep up with folks on a bike.
Overend, who has won too many Iron Horses and other bike races to count and is now a member of the U.S. Bicycling and Mountain Bike halls of fame, said hes impressed at how the Iron Horse benefits not racers, but noncycling, overweight smokers who decide to shape up.
That race inspires them to get into cycling, he said.
For Durango cycling, the 1980s and 90s were a whirlwind, and mountain biking created the tempest. The attention from hosting four national championships and the first official world championships in 1990, combined with extensive coverage in cycling magazines and ESPN broadcasts, made Durango a magnet. Together with Moab and Crested Butte, it became a must-visit for cycling tourists blowing through.
Overend recently attended a convention of Specialized (his sponsor) dealers in Brazil. When he introduced himself as a Durango, Colorado, resident, he received a response not uncommon from industry representatives, whether hes in Europe or Japan or even South America.
Oh, Durango. Ive ridden Hermosa Creek.
Local organizations primarily Trails 2000 have bolstered the areas trails, giving us multiple options such as Horse Gulch and the Durango Mountain Park, right from town. The recently fully linked Animas River Trail works as a commuter route and trail connector.
Weve reached the gold standard set by the League of American Bicyclists for being a Bicycle Friendly Community. (Only three towns are at platinum, the next-highest level.) Were No. 3 on a recent Outside magazine list of top bicycling towns. Our residents include a whos who of cycling greats and now this burgeoning road race brings stars such as 2011 Tour de France champion Cadel Evans.
We have a critical mass of success surrounding us, Zink said.
Through race teams, spectators and TV coverage enhanced by the Internet the USA Pro Cycling Challenge will undoubtedly blow another confetti-like wave of riders to Southwest Colorado.
Personally, I came here for the fantastic beach access, the jazz scene and the double-decker buses.
Alas, youre going to remember us only for our cycling. What can we say to this ignorance? Your loss.

PASSHE Board of Governors Appoints Acting Chancellor
February 22, 2013
PASSHE Executive Vice Chancellor Dr. Peter H. Garland to serve as acting chancellor effective March 1
The Board of Governors of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education today affirmed the designation of PASSHE Executive Vice Chancellor Dr. Peter H. Garland to serve as acting chancellor effective March 1.
Dr. Garland has held numerous senior level leadership positions with PASSHE since first being named executive associate to the chancellor in January 2002. He will serve as acting chancellor until Nov. 1, or until a successor to outgoing Chancellor Dr. John C. Cavanaugh is named.
"Dr. Garland will provide strong, stable leadership to PASSHE during this time of transition," said Board of Governors Chairman Guido M. Pichini. "He has been with the State System for more than a decade and has worked closely with all of our various constituencies, both internal and external."
As executive associate to the chancellor, Dr. Garland served as a senior adviser, assisting the chancellor in a liaison role with vice chancellors, university presidents, the Board of Governors and other senior staff. He was named vice chancellor for academic and student affairs in December 2003, leading the development of PASSHE's strategic plan, which was adopted by the Board of Governors in July 2004, and assisting in the implementation of PASSHE's System Accountability Program.
Dr. Garland was named executive vice chancellor in October 2006. In that position, he has served as PASSHE's chief operating officer, overseeing the major functional areas in the Office of the Chancellor; serving as liaison to university presidents and the Board of Governors; leading major System-wide projects, programs and initiatives; and coordinating the work of vice chancellors and other executive staff.
Dr. Cavanaugh will leave PASSHE Feb. 28 to become president and chief executive officer of the Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area based in Washington, D.C. He has served as PASSHE's chancellor since June 2008.
The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education is the largest provider of higher education in the Commonwealth, with about 115,000 students. The 14 PASSHE universities offer degree and certificate programs in more than 120 areas of study. About 500,000 PASSHE alumni live and work in Pennsylvania.
The state-owned universities are Bloomsburg, California, Cheyney, Clarion, East Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Indiana, Kutztown, Lock Haven, Mansfield, Millersville, Shippensburg, Slippery Rock and West Chester Universities of Pennsylvania. PASSHE also operates branch campuses in Clearfield, Freeport, Oil City and Punxsutawney and several regional centers, including the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg and the Philadelphia Multi University Center in Philadelphia.

Trying to get into the playoffs, hoping to do it at the Brew Crew's expense.
The Phillies (79-67) will start an important four games series with the Brewers (83-63, 2nd National League Central, 1st N.L. Wild Card). The first game of the series will be played tonight at Citizens Bank Park and will start at 7:05 pm Eastern. The Phillies' starter will be the veteran Jamie Moyer (13-7, 3.64), who is coming off a victory against the Mets on September 7, where he threw seven innings of shut out ball, giving up only two hits, in the Phillies' 6-2 win. Moyer will be coming off of just three days rest, something he hasn't done in over two seasons with the Phillies, as the Phils hope that he will be able to give them another quality start while putting them back on the winning track. The Brewers' starter will be Ben Sheets (13-7, 2.82), who is also coming off a victory, with his against the Padres on September 6, as he pitched a complete game shut out, giving up only five hits, in the Brewers' 1-0 win. He will be trying for his fourteenth win of the year while trying to put a nail into the coffin of the Phils' chances to reach the playoffs.
As the Phillies hope that Jamie Moyer will be ready to pitch with three days rest, the team hopes that the offense will finally decide to wake up and start scoring some runs. Of course, they will need to stop putting pressure on themselves to do it. This team need to seriously take this one game at a time instead of trying to win everything at one time. If they can stay within themselves and start to actually play situational baseball and continue playing situational baseball, they might be able to get into the playoffs again. If they don't, they better just start getting ready to back their bags.
The Phillies now trail the Mets by three and a half games in the East as they have the day off. The Marlins now trail the Phillies by five games as they also take the day off. In the wild card chase, the Phillies trail the Brewers by four games, as the two teams face off at Citizens Bank Park, while they are tied with the Astros for second place in the wild card race as the Astros play the Pirates tonight, while the two teams are both a half-game ahead of the Cardinals who will be facing the Cubs tonight. The Phillies will be doing whatever they can to get back into the Eastern Division pennant race, as well as putting as much pressure as they can on the Brew Crew in the wild card chase with sixteen games left in their season.

I returned to Kerrick Meadow last week. I hadn't been there since October a couple of years ago when the water in Kerrick Creek stood in little pools that froze at night. The water was low but trickling along this time in mid-August, and it was much warmer. A month and a half makes a big difference in the High Sierra. After camping the night at Peeler Lake, I hiked into the meadow in time to catch the morning light as it poured between Crown Point and Cirque Mountain.
The journey around the high country loop out of Twin Lakes is beautiful, taking in Snow, Crown, and Robinson Lakes as well as Peeler. Rock Island Pass is dramatic, living up to its name. But there is something about Kerrick Meadow that feeds my soul. It's the high point of my backpacks around this loop.
The main thing I like to do in Kerrick is to sit and let the sounds and sights of the meadow surround me. I know that such inactivity is not popular in this age of nature adventures. I don't climb up any rocks, race down any trails, catch any fish, or find any geo-caches. I just sit. I choose a place out of sight of the trail, so other hikers that pass by won't have to wonder what is wrong with me.
As I sat on a big white granite slab, a cool breeze soughed through the lodgepole and whitebark pines. Warblers of several types, probably early migrants, worked through the branches. A junket of juncos, nuthatches and chickadees followed them as the sun rose higher above the ridge separating the meadow from Peeler Lake. The brown grass and powdery dirt baked in the heat releasing an earthy, herbal aroma
The birds moved on and I did too, ambling along Rancheria Creek, until I reached then far end of the meadow, just before it narrowed and dropped off to become Kerrick Canyon. I found a shady spot by the creek where a round granite boulder and choir of pines sheltered the creek bank.
Beside the boulder, a single blue lupine surprised me. Only a couple of inches tall, the blossom stretched up fresh and bright in the cool morning. At first it looked to be sprouting from a clump of alpine laurel, but on closer look I found it's prostrate stem stretched form a small clump of hairy, grey-green leaves–Brewer's Lupine (Lupinus breweri var. bryoides).
Philip A. Munz in his Introduction to California Mountain Wildflowers says that Brewer's lupine is particularly well-suited to growing in the alpine zone because it's leaves shield it from the effects of the drying wind and bright sun. But there was only one flower. I looked around for others before I sat down beside this one. Other little mats of lupine were dry and flowerless.
Flowers are like everything else. Sure a flower belongs to a species and variety and has a common name that categorizes it, but each flower also has a unique way of manifesting life that reflects all it has gone through to reach that point in life. I watched this little lupine a while to get to know it better. In spite of the drought and heat, it grew vigorously and held its solitary blossom high.
The desert artist, Henry R Mockel (Mockel's Desert Flower Notebook) advised aspiring artists to "find yourself a solitary bloom. Visit it daily. Observe as the colors cycle from morning to night" (California Desert Art).
Thoreau thought one of the beauties of lupine was how they colored whole hillsides with the color of the sky, but he lamented that even a third of a mile away he couldn't see their color. I sat close enough to this one for it to fill my sight and like "The bluebird carries the sky on its back" (also Thoreau), this single flower brought the blue sky to the brown earth.
I lay down on the grass beside it and looked up at the cloudless California sky. A bee or fly buzzed by my ear, perhaps investigating the flower. I didn't look. I closed my eyes and felt life around me and within me.

The Game, whose forthcoming Jesus Piece album (and artwork) has fans buzzing, took some time to shine some light on fellow Compton California rapper, and Dr. Dre protege Kendrick Lamar.
Kendrick's critically acclaimed debut good k.i.d. m.A.A.d City, which hit stands October 22, sold an astounding 241,000 albums in its first week. Game, however, saw the young rapper's success all along.
"It says to me that Kendirck Lamar is the West Coast Nas. Lyrically, he's a danger and threat to any competition, myself included," The Game told CBS Local, weeks before Kendrick's m.A.A.d City was released. "He's young and innovative, smart and dope. He can flat out rap. He kills beats, sorta like black Eminemish to me. He will have a long career. I've heard joints off his new album. When it drops, you're gonna see him move some records."
While Game is proud that Kendrick shares his West Coast roots, he also wants to get away from the coastal discussions, and see rap as a force beyond regions.
SEE ALSO: The Game Is Baptized In Fire For "Gangster Jesus" Album Art
"Once I turned 30, I try to get away from generalizing West Coast or East Coast," he said. "We are all in the same building. If hip-hop was an office building, maybe West Coast would be on the fifth floor, maybe East Coast would be on the seventh. Maybe South would be on the 19th. But I don't like to separate. I think it causes instant tension and reminds me of the untimely demises of Tupac and Biggie."
While Dr. Dre receives the lions share of credit for his work with Kendrick, Game says he also played a role in the rapper's rise.
"I'm glad thet Kendrick is doing his thing," he said. "I took him around the world with me in the early stages and helped bring him to Dre. Now for him to continue receiving the praise and accolades, i's really dope for hip-hop, not just the West Coast."

Woody Woodpecker
Woody Woodpecker is an animated cartoon character, an anthropomorphic acorn woodpecker[1] who appeared in theatrical short films produced by the Walter Lantz animation studio and distributed by Universal Pictures. Though not the first of the screwball characters that became popular in the 1940s, Woody is perhaps the most indicative of the type.
Lantz produced theatrical cartoons longer than most of his contemporaries, and Woody Woodpecker remained a staple of Universal's release schedule until 1972, when Lantz finally closed down his studio. The character has been revived since then only for special productions and occasions, save for one new Saturday morning cartoon television series, The New Woody Woodpecker Show, for the Fox Network in the late 1990s/early 2000s.
Woody Woodpecker cartoons were first broadcast on television in 1957 under the title The Woody Woodpecker Show, which featured Lantz cartoons bookended by new footage of Woody and live-action footage of Lantz. Woody has a motion picture star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on 7000 Hollywood Boulevard. He also made a cameo alongside many other famous cartoon characters in the 1988 film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Woody Woodpecker and friends are also icons at the PortAventura Park in Salou, Spain. Brought to the park by Universal Studios, Woody and friends remain there despite Universal no longer having a financial stake in the park.

A bad sprag clutch would let the starter spin without turning the engine.
I have a 93 K75RTP that seems to have failed, in that the sprag clutch has NOT released.
I hear a loud whine ( not the normal k75 whine ) when the engine is running coming from the best I can tell near the starter motor. This whine seem to start abruptly during a short ride.
Has anyone else encountered this and what was the solution?

Eiffel Tower Turns Light off to Signal Climate Risk
PARIS -- The Eiffel Tower is to turn its famous night-time illuminations off for five minutes on Thursday to help draw attention to energy consumption and the environment on the eve of the release of a U.N. report on climate change.
The 336 projectors that light up the tower at night will be switched off between 7:55 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (1855-1900 GMT), a spokeswoman for SETE, the company that operates the 19th century metal tower in central Paris said.
The Eiffel Tower's illuminations are one of the most notable features of the French capital's skyline and account for 9 percent of the 7 megawatts consumed hourly by the structure.
Earlier this week, environmental campaigners from Greenpeace hung a banner showing a giant thermometer from the Eiffel Tower to publicise the global warming issue.
A U.N. report on climate change to be released officially on Friday in Paris projects a big rise in temperatures and warns of heatwaves, floods, droughts and rising sea levels linked to greenhouse gases, released mainly by the use of fossil fuels.
The symbolic switch off is part of a campaign organised in conjunction with the Paris mayor's office to highlight the impact of energy consumption on global warming.
Illuminations on several other French monuments will also be switched off.
French grid operator RTE said there could be unexpected consequences when lights were turned back on.
"This is not an exercise without risk," an RTE spokesman said. "It could trigger an important weakness in the system but we will do our utmost to prevent a blackout." (Reporting by Muriel Boselli and Paule Bonjean)

The small, fast bass.
The Gibson 2013 SG Reissue Bass brings back Gibson's classic dual-pickup SG bass from the '70s! The reissue bass has the 30-1/2" short scale of the original, as well as its slim, fast neck. Mahogany body and neck. The Gibson SG Reissue Bass features a vintage-style TB neck humbucker pickup and a mini-humbucker at the bridge for wide tonal range. Gibson includes a hardshell case with the reissue SG Standard Bass.
3-Way Adjustable Bridge
Gibson's innovative 3-way adjustable bridge is the standard for simplicity and functionality. It provides you with the ability to adjust and fine-tune the height of the SG Standard Bass' strings in all directions"front, back, and side-to-side. This gives the bridge a floating feature, thus allowing the bass to be equipped with a variety of string gauges and multiple set-up options.
The SG Reissue bass's legendary resonance, tone, and sustain is the result of anchoring the bridge directly into the body at its 3 adjustable points, providing a firm seating for the strings and yielding a strong union between the strings and the body. Readily accessible screws make setting the intonation simple. To this day, Gibson's 3-way adjustable bridge remains an industry standard. It is the epitome of form and function in bass guitar bridge design.
Set-Neck Construction
Like all classic Gibson guitars, the necks on the SG Standard Basses are distinguished by one of the more traditional features that have always set them apart"a glued neck joint. Gluing the neck to the body of the guitar insures a "wood-to-wood" contact, no air space in the neck cavity, and maximum contact between the neck and body, allowing the neck and body to function as a single unit. The result? Better tone, better sustain, and no loose or misaligned necks.
Vintage-Style TB and TB Mini Humbuckers
The pickups on the early Gibson basses of the 1960s remained unchanged for many years, undergoing only minor cosmetic modifications from time to time, but staying true to the originals' sonic characteristics. The pickups in today's SG Standard Bass"the vintage-style TB Plus humbucker and TB mini humbucker"are wax-potted and capture and recreate the classic attributes of those early Gibson basses. The TB plus humbucker in the neck is a traditional hum-cancelling bass pickup with a full frequency, heavy-bottom sound, similar to pickups with a passive EQ. The EB mini humbucker in the bridge is traditionally smaller but packs a sweet punch with exceptional mid-range presence. This combination makes the SG Standard Bass a versatile instrument with a wide range of tonal possibilities.
20-Fret Rosewood Fingerboard
Rosewood has always graced the fingerboards of the world's finest stringed instruments, including many of today's Gibson guitars and basses. The fingerboard on the Gibson SG Standard Bass is constructed from the highest grade rosewood on the planet. The rosewood is personally inspected and qualified by Gibson's team of skilled wood experts before it enters the factories to be fitted onto the neck of the SG Standard Bass. The resilience of this dense and durable wood makes the fingerboards extremely balanced and stable, and gives each note unparalleled clarity and bite.

Comments about Gibson 2013 SG Standard 4-String Bass:
The mahogany wood and the pickups on this bass are an excellent marriage for superb tone. With round core nickel strings it even sounds great unplugged.
It echoes the 60's and Jack Bruce in the Cream but does McCartney songs just as well. It's an easy transition to bass for guitar players since it is a short scale bass. I love it!
Comments about Gibson 2013 SG Standard 4-String Bass:
Here's a bass worth having! The combination of the mahogany body and neck, and the punchy humbuck pickups take you right back to the 60's and 70's power trios and pop rock bands. The tone is very deep and has a full sound and presence. The short scale makes it easy for a guitarist to make the transition to bass when needed. I own this bass and plan to buy another one.
Comments about Gibson 2013 SG Standard 4-String Bass:
When I first received the sg i was amazed, the laquer was excellent and the guitar looked great. The bass really has a nice bright tone to it and plays even better than it feels. This bass is an excellent choice for those who are into classic rock and other oldies, but can also be used for music of the new generation as well. The SG was an OUTSTANDING choice and I am quite proud to have it.
Comments about Gibson 2013 SG Standard 4-String Bass:
I will admit to a bias towards Gibson, I still love my EB2 from 1963. Since then I've gotten a 5 String Ken Smith and a fretless Rob Allen MB-2 and yet when it comes to getting into a good groove, this SG is hard to beat - plays kinda like a hot-rod drives.
Comments about Gibson 2013 SG Standard 4-String Bass:
I owned an EB-3 for awhile. First of all, I was surprised at the sound, warm, fat and clear bottom end and acceptable trebles. It played pretty easily and covered a lot of ground - rock, country, jazz, etc., although I didn't think it did any one thing fantastically. My main problems were twofold: 1. it was top heavy and (even though I've played an extra-long bass most of my life, and this one is merely long scale), I felt I had to stretch my left hand out to reach 1st position. It wasn't comfortable at all. 2. the bass pickup reacted like a microphone. There is a certain sound that a magnetic pickup makes when you tap on it, and another when a mic is tapped - this sounded like the latter and had a propensity to feedback at high volume in smaller spaces. I decided not to keep it. I hope this helps.
Comments about Gibson 2013 SG Standard 4-String Bass:
Dear Music123. Recently I played this bass at another local music store. I was unimpressed. To put it bluntly, in my book, SG stands for mediocre bass. Also in my book, mediocre starts with S, and bass starts with G. This just isn't a very good gbass.
Comments about Gibson 2013 SG Standard 4-String Bass:
The SG is a must try for anyone considering a short scale bass. Gibson hit a home run with this. The neck is slim & narrow; nice low action. This is a very resonant bass - even sounds good unplugged. The TB humbucker (neck position pickup) is able to produce super deep bass with great presence and punch (deep like the old sidewinder, but without the mud). The mini humbucker adds nice crisp highs and gives the bass the ability to produce a variety of great sounds without honky midrange. The workmanship is flawless. The Heritage Cherry looks great. Absolute perfection in a short scale bass. Thank you Gibson!
Comments about Gibson 2013 SG Standard 4-String Bass:
The first time I picked up an "SG Bass" was in a record store that sold some cheap guitars too. It was the Epiphone EB-0 model and I wasnt impressed, but I decided to give it a chance and check out its big brother. I was amazed. The short-scale neck allows you to bring out the bass that's going on in your head into your instrument. The pickups are excellent quality and sound great. This bass is also very light, so it would be easy to rock out with it. I would recommend this bass to almost anyone who doesn't want to play what everyone else is playing, but still wants the high quality you get from Gibson. Check this one out ASAP.

It wasn't very long after Matt Anderson watched a 58-yard kick sail through the eastern Witter Rugby Field uprights that he walked into California head coach Jeff Tedford's office and heard the words very few high school kickers ever get to hear: You have an offer.
Just an hour and a half after that, Anderson called Tedford and said that, like his former Danville (Calif.) San Ramon Valley teammate Zach Kline, he was going to be a Bear.
"Fully scholarship," Anderson smiled. "I had lunch after [the camp] and I met with coach [Jeff] Genyk for about 20 minutes, then I took a tour of the campus, and my parents and I met with coach Tedford for about an hour, and he offered me during that conversation. I committed about an hour and a half later when I got home.
"I was very happy the past two weekends out there with them. I really love coach Genyk, and coach Tedford, as well, and it just seemed like a really good place that I want to be at."
Tedford was also on-hand during the kicking competition on Sunday, helping to field kickoffs in the east end zone and carefully observing the field goal kicking portion of the workout.
"Coach Tedford and I, were talking about the university and about the team, and I really liked his talk about how it's a family, and when he offered me, he said, 'You have a home here, at Cal,' and that resonated with both my parents and I. He just seemed like a down-to-earth coach," Anderson said. "I just enjoyed everything that he was talking about."
On Sunday, Anderson out-dueled Michael Geiger -- rated by various services at either the No. 1 or No. 2 kicker in the country. Two weekends ago, he out-dueled another No. 1/No. 2 kicker in Daniel Carlson out of Colorado Springs (Colo.) Classical Academy at the Cal kicking camp. To say the least, it's been a whirlwind for the scholar athlete, who boasts a 4.3 GPA to match his big leg.
"I think it was just the belief that they had in me, that I could succeed at their university, and they showed that to me throughout the past two weeks," Anderson said. "I got the tour of the campus later that day, and for all the years I've lived here, I've never actually toured the campus, and I really loved it. I just knew that was the spot that I wanted to be at."
Anderson had been set to attend UCLA's camp this week before heading to the Chris Sailer Top 12 in Los Angeles, but now, he only has to worry about one trip.
"I'll just be at the Sailer camp," Anderson said. "No need to go to the other one."
Anderson will come in as a field goal and kickoff specialist, but will also be in the running for backup punter. One of the first calls he made was to Kline.
"I did call Zach last night, and he was very excited," said Anderson. "We'll bring the long hair down to Berkeley."
