Thousands of Liverpool supporters have turned out to see the Reds wherever they've been throughout their pre-season tour of the United States but few will be looking forward to seeing skipper Steven Gerrard in action as much as John Newman.
For it was John who latched onto what would become a trademark Gerrard through-ball and lob deftly home for
Whiston Juniors during archive footage of the Reds skipper, then aged 12, in schoolboy action which featured on the ECHO website earlier this month(watch below).
ECHO reader Melvyn Syder, whose son also played in the same team, shared his videos of Whiston Juniors playing in and winning a 1992 tournament in Holland and John, now living in America, was there to see Brendan Rodgers's men in their first training session since arriving in New York ahead of their clash with Manchester City at Yankee Stadium on Wednesday night.
John, director of coaching for Princeton Soccer Association, told the ECHO: "That chip was definitely one of my best finishes growing up. Steven played a lovely ball through to me and I managed to lob the keeper.
"He used to set me up for about 40 a season though with those through-balls so I can't take much of the credit!"
Having settled in America following a professional and semi-pro career that saw him play for Shrewsbury and Southport, John - whose wife is shortly expecting their third child - explained how he ended up building a life in the States.
"I stopped playing football back in England when I was about 21 as I was playing non-league and going nowhere.
"I decided on a career change and did all my coaching badges. I came over to America when I was 22 and I've been here ever since.
John, who also runs his own soccer coaching business, added: "It's brilliant to see the Reds out here, even just to see them train.
"I'm a massive Liverpool fan and will be at the game on Wednesday, my dad still has season tickets.
It would be great to Steve again, hopefully he'll come over and say hello. It'll be like old times."

Apparently, I have a reputation when it comes to shoes, I try them and return them. It's been so hit and miss with me and ultimately, I get frustrated. The last few pairs have had some separation by the toe after a few climbs (on the toe box, the glue seems to be coming off). Turns out it could be my footwork.
I went out and got the Evolv Shamans. This was a brand that I hadn't tried before and they fit comfortably but they are a little more aggressive than I'm used to.
Funny little story, I saw someone wearing the same pair and I asked him what he thought of them, his response was, they're great and not just because they sponsor me.
Without further ado, here's the review:
Comfortable and stylish. They look like the love child of a parrot and a tire. The double loops for pulling on your shoe are really convenient but sometimes they got caught between the foot and the shoe when you're not paying attention. I'm able to edge nicely and they give me really good control over what I'm perching on. Since I alternate them with another pair (something that I had never done before) I find that I'm more tolerant of the sizing.
They are more aggressive than my standard pair so I definitely need to take them off on a regular basis. Compared to the LaSportivas I had, I can actually wear them longer though. Underneath the velcro straps, there are two padded flaps (presumably to protect your foot from the strap). I find that they can overlap each other but it's a little off putting that you don't know which side goes down first. I'm not sure if this makes sense, you would have to try it to understand it. I don't know that it makes a difference though.
All in all, I'm happy with the shoes and hopefully they'll treat me better than the last few pairs. I think I'm going to get another comfortable pair to replace my current ones.

USS SIOUX CITY COMMISSIONING: Bus leaves Sioux City for USS Sioux City commissioning
SIOUX CITY (KTIV) – Fifty more people are now on their way to Annapolis, Maryland, for the commissioning of the USS Sioux City.
The Siouxland Chamber of Commerce had made arrangements for a bus to charter citizens to the commissioning.
The passengers loaded up their luggage to hop on board of the bus which will travel through the night to arrive tomorrow by 2 p.m. at the Academy.
Passengers say they are excited for the once in a lifetime opportunity.
"I honestly looked at this as a once in a lifetime, never before going to a commissioning of any ship let alone the US Sioux City, USS Sioux City," said Doug Strohbeen, bus passenger.
When the bus arrives the crew will get a special tour of the USS Sioux City and later that day take part in the evenings "Taste of Annapolis" reception.
Saturday morning passengers will attend the commissioning, and then the "Taste of Sioux City" post-commissioning reception.

So, I was thinking more about our discussion around cruel temptations, and how God wants us to build others up, not tear each other down. If you think about it, there are so many references in the Bible about building things. Take Noah for example, well we all know what he built. Yeah, I am talking about that ginormous boat God asked him to build to hold two of every kind of living thing. What do you think would have happened if Noah had ignored God's instructions to build that ark? Well, for one, I probably would not be here writing this journal entry.
The first book of Thessalonians, Chapter 5 says this, "So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you should do….see that no one pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to all people."
Do you know what an architect is? An architect is someone who designs and builds buildings. It is their job to know how to build strong and sturdy buildings that can stay standing tall for many many years. I think God asks us to be His architects of people. When we build each other up, we are making each other stronger and sturdier, allowing us to be able to withstand whatever challenges come to us. And if we continue to build each other up with bricks of love and kindness, we'll all become tall and strong enough to reach God's kingdom in heaven! How cool is that?!
Let's all be architects and builders for God! Have a blessed week!

Today we're talking with historical romance author Theresa Romain. Her next book, LADY ROGUE, comes out next week and we'll have a review of it then. In the meanwhile, we hope you enjoy this interview! There's also a giveaway at the end, if you're into free books ;)
LADY ROGUE is listed in some places (Amazon) as Royal Rewards #3, and in others (GoodReads) as The Roguish Runners Duo, #1. It's loosely connected to the RR series, but does this mean there's a second of these?
It does! And how clever of Goodreads to have figured that out. I'm finishing up the next book now—called LADY NOTORIOUS--and it will be out February 26, 2019. You'll meet the hero and heroine of that book in LADY ROGUE.
That's a great observation, and one I hadn't made myself. LADY ROGUE is inspired by the romantic heist film HOW TO STEAL A MILLION, with characters carrying out a theft of worthless art for the sake of protecting a reputation. Paintings and other fine art lend themselves well to historical romance, I think, because they've always been valued. We can understand why people 200 years ago went wild for an artifact or a work of art, because it still happens today. Also, as a writer, I enjoy writing about art far more than I would about, say, investment banking (though that was also a thing 200 years ago!). The research and the descriptive possibilities are more enjoyable for me. I hope that makes them entertaining for the reader too.
I said this to you already, but I think your readers will join me in strongly disliking Sir Frederic, an aristocrat who gets away with a number of Bad Acts at the beginning of Lady Rogue. What was your process like, when you decided to let him off but then make him come 'round at the end? Is it a bit of wish fulfillment? He's got so many parallels to the super-rich in our society today.
When Sir Frederic "Call Me Freddie" Chapple first appeared in PASSION FAVORS THE BOLD, the previous book in the series, I had him in mind for the villain right away. He's less evil than he is selfish, but that selfishness causes great harm—maybe even more harm than if he were actively malevolent, because it flies under the radar more easily than evil deeds.
With the series continuing beyond that book, it was clear to me that Freddie's selfish actions would continue to affect the other characters beyond his arrest. And why would someone so selfish and with so many resources at hand allow himself to be punished long-term? He's sorry for the harm he caused, but not so sorry he wants to experience a punishment. So at the end of LADY ROGUE, his redemption is very limited, because it involves absolutely no sacrifice on his part. I thought that was about all we could expect from Freddie long-term.
A lot of LADY ROGUE is about the power of money and privilege, and it's not just Freddie who demonstrates that. The heroine, the widowed Lady Isabel, has always been wealthy and titled, but she's never experienced social freedom due to a restricted upbringing and an emotionally abusive marriage. The hero, Callum, is the son of a grocer who's always made his own living, most lately as a Bow Street Runner (though he'd want me to say Officer of the Police). He operates outside of high society and doesn't care about it, and he has the freedom of an able-bodied man in a man's world. So both he and Isabel have advantages that the other does not, and negotiating these is part of how they sort out their HEA.
Have you ever considered writing in a different time period? I'm remembering your time on the Smart Bitches podcast and still waiting on that silent film actress book.
You have a good memory! I am still very interested in writing in other time periods, yes. I have stories in mind for the turn of the twentieth century, and I might even veer contemporary someday. Once I finish writing LADY NOTORIOUS, there are a few more Regency projects in the queue. After that, my agent and editor and I will figure out what comes next.
You bet—thanks for asking! My next release after LADY ROGUE will be a reissue of the novella "Desperately Seeking Scandal," which first came out last September in a duo with Grace Burrowes. It's about the power of the press, family roles, and dealing with invisible disability. In case that doesn't sound fun, I promise there's also smooching and bantering and a firm HEA.
After that, I'll be releasing a novella duet with Shana Galen. We're planning to put that out in September and will set it in a London academy for "Extraordinary Young Ladies." That London academy also plays a significant role in the third and final Romance of the Turf book, which will be out in November. Those are some of the projects that are still in the queue I mentioned, so good vibes and writing mojo would be most appreciated. :)
I'm always reading about five books at once and have run into some truly lovely stories lately. I loved THE BELLES by Dhonielle Clayton and TRULY DEVIOUS by Maureen Johnson—both YA that pull you into their world right away. These books are very different but both gripping, and both (sob!) the first in a series. I wanted the next book right away, which hopefully doesn't sound like I'm saying "don't read the first book yet." Do read the first book. Then when the second book comes out, read the first book again. I plan to. :)
Theresa Romain is the bestselling author of historical romances, including the Matchmaker trilogy, the Holiday Pleasures series, the Royal Rewards series, and the Romance of the Turf trilogy. Praised as "one of the rising stars of Regency historical romance" (Booklist), she has received starred reviews from Booklist and was a 2016 RITA® finalist. A member of Romance Writers of America® and its Regency specialty chapter The Beau Monde, Theresa is hard at work on her next novel from her home in the Midwest.

Bend...but Don't Break
Recently, Miss Molly has been feeling more sadistic and in the mood to break some of Her subs. Luckily for me, when I went to visit last week, She was only starting to feel what we both call "Malicious Molly."
She has a new torture toy, a bondage spreader, with a wheel that increases the distance between your legs with each turn. I'm not an athlete, or a professional dancer, or anything that would require me to have an abundance of flexibility in my legs. So, it didn't take long until I started to feel the tightness as my muscles, ligaments and tendons started stretching. Then for good measure, She turned it a half turn more.
My hands were tied behind my back, my legs bound to the spreader, my eyes shielded with a blindfold. She said very softly that it was too hot for Her to be in the play space, so She left me there to think.
There I was, naked and vulnerable, tied up and legs spread apart. I started to drift until I was lost in my own thoughts. How long will I be down here? How long can I stay like this? What's going to happen next?
When you're in bondage, it's at this point (probably 5 minutes in) that your mind starts to notice things. My feet are hanging off the end and that's a little uncomfortable. She tied my hands but not too tight, and I don't want them to come loose (and be punished) if I fidget. So I tense up. I move my legs slightly to try and ease the burn from being stretched. The blindfold isn't completely blocking my view. I can partially see down, which starts the cycle in my head all over again.
After what seems like 30 minutes (but in reality is only 10-15 minutes), she comes back down to check on me. I can hear her sitting on the edge of the bed. She asks me to explain my last post. I hesitate, stumble over a few words, and then give a muddled answer. This is something that I need to work on. I can type out paragraphs of ideas, but many times when I'm in front of my Mistress during a scene, I have trouble finding words to express. I'm sure She'll find a way to get the words out of me.
Next, She runs the nails that she had me pay for over my body. Of course, I'm jumpy because I can't see what's coming coming. It's a little tease, but also a reminder that I'm hers to torment and torture in whatever ways she deems appropriate. She doesn't need a physical collar to show her dominance. She has collared my mind and also my wallet.
Then it was time for some torture. A Wartenberg wheel and clothespins on my balls for good measure. Normally, I'm not a fan of the Wartenberg wheel, but it strangely took my mind off the burn in my legs, which were now starting to shake. The clothespins hurt coming off, and I was afraid she was going to pull them off zipper style, but I escaped that fate...for now.
Finally, she started to slowly turn the wheel until my legs were straight again.
And thus ended my bending/stretching session. No screaming, no tears, no begging for mercy. That day will come I'm sure. Miss Molly has already foreshadowed some things that will happen the next time around, but you never know with her mercurial mood.
She decided to bend me but not break me.
The day will come when I will break, and I'm not sure how I'll feel, but I know that Miss Molly will be there to put me back together. And when it happens, I'll be better and stronger for Her.
Findom - Part 1
I'm titling this Part 1 because I'll have more to write about Findom as a practice and a philosophy.
When I started serving Miss Molly, our arrangement was based on domestic servitude. She allowed me to organize and clean in between sessions, and to an extent, that arrangement still exists. However, my role as Her submissive has grown to include many other things.
At first, Findom wasn't a huge kink that we discussed. I mentioned it in passing when we talked about how She wanted to grow her empire. Initially, I would send Her online gift cards for Her time and willingness to have a conversation. Sometimes I would send if She was having a bad day or a "just because."
That progressed into us playing games. We played our first retweet game together, and I was excited the whole time. I'm sure if you ask Her, she was excited when she saw that payoff show up. Recently, we played a game: for every new follower on Twitter and Instagram, I would send $2. She reached over 100 followers in a couple of days. By the way, I haven't paid that one off yet, for which I'm sure I'll catch hell.
Then something happened a few days ago. She was going to get her nails done and She posted online asking which set She should get. Of course, everyone voted for the claws!
Here's the catch. I was doing work around the dungeon, and She said, "By the way, I'm going to get my nails done and you're going to pay for them."
I was a little surprised and I tried my best to hide it, but I know She could see it on my face. This was the first time she told me I was going to pay for something. It was a little different because there was no conversation, no game, no play.
It was HOT!
Now don't get me wrong, if She wanted to, She could tie me up in her dungeon and take my wallet out for lunch and a spa day at any time. And she already had that idea because she teased that idea earlier.
Findom was never a big kink of mine, but She has found little ways to make it part of the fun and to show Her control over me. I haven't talked to Her about this yet, but I'm sure we will after this post.
Until next time,
Molly's Sub (I still need a better name)
P.S. Enjoy the new claws!
First Post
Greetings to anyone that may read this.
I'm one of Lioness Molly's subs (perhaps I'll have a shorter way of identifying myself in future posts), and She suggested that I write down my musings as I progress in my submission to Her. I'll discuss some serious topics, but you'll probably notice, for better or worse, that I write like a weird mash-up of Monty Python and Willy Wonka. On we go!
Lioness Molly and I had a conversation this weekend about our relationship, particularly what She would like to see from me.
An interesting observation She had is that since I'm relatively new in expressing my submissiveness, it's looking for any possible outlet. Imagine a dam bursting and the water flowing anywhere it can penetrate. That's me right now. I've gone from faucet drip to tidal wave in a matter of months. Okay, I went overboard with the water metaphors...
So, She wisely suggested that I write about what I'm experiencing during the process. It will help me channel my thoughts and emotions, so that I'm not always feeling all over the place, and She can keep track of me without the need to be in constant contact. Brilliant!
Here I am in my vulnerability, my thoughts and feelings laid before my Mistress and anyone else who might be interested in a submissive mind.
At some point I'll go back to the beginning of how this all started, and how Lioness Molly and I crossed paths. That deserves its own post.
For now, I'll say that I'm very pleased to serve Lioness Molly. She took a chance on me when She didn't have to, and She's allowed me to serve Her in ways that I hadn't imagined when I called to discuss our current arrangement.
One thing that we did discuss this weekend was closeness. Call it intimacy or connectivity, but one of the things that I struggle with sometimes is feeling disconnected. I do have the privilege of serving Her in person, however, there is sometimes that feeling of discord. It's like when you're at a concert and you hear an instrument out of tune. A music simile!
Seriously though, I'm sure you (Domme or Sub) have experienced this? Even with someone close, you just feel that even though everything is going great, you feel distant or disconnected?
Some might call this "Domme/sub drop" and maybe that's part of it, but I think it has to do with wanting to give up more of myself to Her and feeing like I'm not able to, or maybe it's not the right time. Patience is something that I'm not great with, and remember my submissiveness went from a 1 to an 11 in a short period of time. We both have personal lives, so a 24/7 type of relationship isn't possible, and She has other subs to tend to, so I know She needs time to devote to them, and most importantly, Herself. Nevertheless, I find myself thinking of ways to support, submit, and serve.
One of Her sayings is "All things in due time," which sometimes makes me feel like the kid who wants to swim in the deep end of the pool but hasn't yet learned how to swim. I feel ready to dive in and fully submit, but She knows what's best for me and doesn't want me in situations that I'm not equipped to handle. Wait, I already did the water metaphor thing.
Okay, sometimes I feel like the annoying kid in Star Wars (yes, I know his name is Anakin but I'm trying to not be too big of a nerd here) who desperately wants to be a Jedi, but Yoda basically says, "Not so fast, you could end up on the dark side." Which is exactly what happens. Maybe Miss Molly is trying to prevent me from becoming submissive Darth Vader. Hmmmm. Okay this has officially gone off the rails!
Anyway, we had a conversation about those feelings and She was very understanding. She came up with some ideas for how to keep me feeling connected and how to express my submissiveness in healthy ways. One idea was writing, along with some other ideas that I will share, as she says "in due time."
Thank you for reading (if you made it this far),
Molly's Sub
A devoted sub of Lioness Molly

Readers of this occasional column know that while I like most sports, baseball is my true love.
Readers of this occasional column know that while I like most sports, baseball is my true love. Why baseball? Well, there really aren't enough words. I appreciate the way it has endured through time, the way it appeals to all kinds of people, the energy of an exciting game, and especially the crack of the ball against a wooden bat.Recently I was given the opportunity to throw out the first pitch at a Hyannis Mets game. While I'm sure that some folks consider such a thing to be no big deal in the grand scheme of nationwide sports, for me it was as if I'd hit the lottery.After two seasons of hovering journalistically on the sidelines in pursuit of "The Big Story," I would finally be On The Field. On the same field, in fact, once trod by Doug Mirabelli, Kevin Youkilis, and Jason Varitek. That thought alone had me giddy.While waiting for the pre-game events to get under way, I snagged a confused-looking but incredibly supportive Mets bat boy whose name, sadly, I didn't catch, and warmed up (Thanks, kid!). In truth I was more concerned with looking silly than having good form.The announcement was made that I was to throw out the first pitch. Before taking the mound, or rather the front of the mound, I was presented with a commemorative Barnstable Bat engraved especially for Barnstable Patriot Night at McKeon Field, then handed my first pitch.ClichŽd as it sounds, everything stopped in that moment except for me and that ball. It wasn't fast, it didn't curve, but it was a strike. It couldn't get any better than that. Except it did! I learned that both the ball and the bat were mine to cherish. What sealed the evening for me, though, was when Mets catcher Shea Robin shook my hand and said, "Nice throw!"Yes, friends. I'm still smiling.The ball is on my desk at work and I'm making plans for a means of displaying the bat, both of which I had signed that night. As for my future in pitching? Put me in, Coach King! I'm ready to play

I remember my school career and it was incredible time spend and university students are not aggressive in looking for jobs like the college students. This are given the college students to secure themselves jobs that would have otherwise been done by the university students. They are also advantaged in that they are always ready to start from the scratch unlike the university students who would not.

Many of us that grew up at the racetrack most likely at one point in time had a favorite driver or car. Most probably could only dream of owning that very car we idolized as a child. This is all part of the American dream, believing and achieving. It was that very determination and vision that inspired Forrest Kennedy to work hard and achieve his dreams.
The Beginning
"I watched my dad run NMCA EZ Street in the late 1990's but he struggled to be competitive for numerous reasons. I remember my dad telling me when I grew up to position myself to "spend until you win." Although that's not possible and certainly doesn't guarantee success, it was a motivator for me to go to school. There is certainly truth when people say that racecars will keep you out of trouble! When I graduated from school, I was able to purchase this car five years ago. I'm a prime example of how sitting in a classroom forever does not yield you life skills. When I purchased this car I had no idea how to load it or strap it down on a trailer. Needless to say, I have learned a lot in my few years racing, but I have a very long way to go."
As a child, Forrest would watch his father race his "butternut yellow" 1967 Chevrolet Camaro RS/SS at the local tracks in North Carolina. Ironically enough, the then-owner of Forrest's Camaro was a good friend of the family and a fierce competitor." I remember growing up watching my dad race against that car on a weekly basis. Little did I know at such a young age that I would eventually own both of the Camaros."
Now both of the cars sit Forrest's shop, and he is lucky enough to drive them both.
Scarlett Fever
This car is named after Forrests' mother, Scarlett Kennedy. "My mom loved drag racing and I wish she were here to see what we are doing now but unfortunately, she passed some time ago," Forrest explains "One of the biggest goals in building the red car was to make it modern and competitive but keep its looks as close as possible to how I remember it as a child."
When Forrest bought this car in 2015 it was a small-block nitrous street car. The car was very reliable and was perfect for someone learning to drive.
"My wife and I enjoyed racing the nitrous setup locally and running shootouts around our house." But after a year or so of 'playing', they were ready to step up. They made some various upgrades throughout the car, which was then running a 406 cubic-inch small-block Chevy with a single stage fogger system. The car would run low fives at virtually any track, but was never quite fast enough to win these open-rule type shootouts. As they increased the nitrous, the car got much more sensitive to tuning. After a trip to Donald Long's No Mercy and having nitrous issues all week, they knew it was time for a change.
"I decided leaving SGMP to switch to a turbocharged combination simply so we would not have to cut the car up as much to go fast."
The plan was to go with a Smith Racecraft front end, turbo system, and a Holley EFI setup. "Our plan was to make these changes over the offseason and get back to racing ASAP," Forrest explains. "As many offseason updates go, the to-do list got longer by the day. We ended up cutting out the majority of the roll cage, changing to the LS-style engine, changing the rearend, and various other things. The whole process took about a year and a half and was no easy task." The Camaro came out much lighter and safer while utilizing its all steel body and real glass, currently weighing around 2,780 pounds with driver.
So let's take a look at what makes Scarlett Fever tick!
The car is an original 1971 RS/Z28 split bumper with Smith Racecraft front subframe. Chassis work and the turbo system were fabricated by Brazzel Performance Fabrication (BPF). "When I bought this car it was a typical small-block nitrous, street-style car and Jason (BPF) completely rebuilt it front to back." More recent upgrades include a safer roll cage and upgraded rear suspension components. The heart and soul of this machine is a 440-inch Dart LS NXT block with LSX-DR 11-degree raised runner heads.
The engine was built and is maintained by Scott Sublet with PIG motorsports. "We refer to this motor as Scott's child because he is very meticulous about how it runs and how it is maintained. The big-inch LSX small-block is running on methanol with Billet Atomizer 850 injectors. For extra boost, the Camaro is currently running a Precision Turbo Gen 2 Pro Mod 106mm turbo, and is swapped to a class-legal Precision 85mm for X275 races. The engine is all controlled by a Holley Dominator system that was wired by Devin Vanderhoof with HCR Innovations. Harnessed to the LSX powerplant is a near-bulletproof Turbo 400 built by Cameron's Torque Converter Services.
"I built this car to fit a number of different classes. We mostly run Lance Stanford's Carolina No Time Series in the Small Block Boost category and also plan to run some x275 races this year. I do occasionally jump in some outlaw street car stuff because the car is all steel and all real glass except the hood. The car does have tags and is registered in NC although we rarely drive it off my road."
The Camaro features stock-style front suspension with Smith racecraft control arms and rack and pinion, with a ladder bar rear suspension setup featuring Menscer Shocks. TBM Brakes are located all around. The body was painted by the previous owner, Dean Brooks about 30 years ago. Kennedy notes, "we did have to change the hood and the color match is perfect. This work was done by my body-work guy, Mike Taylor." Mickey Thompson tires ride on RC Components Torx wheels, and Kennedy generally runs a 28×10.5 Pro Bracket Radial, noting it seems to be more forgiving on marginal surfaces.
"We have only had the car to a racetrack four times, as it is a new build but it has run some promising numbers: mid fours on relatively low boost. We're hoping the car will run 4.20s to be competitive in x275.
Kennedy is quick to thank a number of key individuals and companies who have helped his racing endeavors, from his family to industry talents who have become like family.
"There are so many people who help me with this car I am almost afraid to try to name them all," he says. "My wife, Krystal Kennedy, loves this car and drag racing just as much as me, and we are a team in everything we do! My father, Bruce Kennedy helps me in any way possible and got me into the sport of drag racing to start with.
He continues, "Devin Vanderhoof does our tuning and has sort of my mentor in drag racing; Scott Sublet provides me with more horsepower than I can use and does an inspection on the car from front to back each time it is loaded to go to a race track. I wouldn't be racing if it wasn't for Scott; Jason Brazzel built me this car, dealing with my constant nagging, and doing all the chassis and shock tuning; John Dougthery does a lot for me behind the scenes particularly with getting parts and media exposure; Landon Schertzinger of Landon's Performance Diesel is a childhood friend who supports this team in many ways; Byron Rabon of Camerons Torque Converter Services builds us the best converters in drag racing and is an awesome friend; Kenny and Heidi Barker come to every race and even come to my house and work on this car while I'm at work. They never expect anything in return and are a very important part of this team; Les and Melissa Gray, Terrell Cherry (polishing), Ron Rhodes, Corey Stamper (Spooled Media), Keith Jessee (Holley EFI), Doug Cook (Motion Raceworks) are also integral to our success."
Dragzine we would like to give a special thanks to Spooled Media and Lee Soles for supplying us with photos of this beauty!

Today, most commercially available cannabis is grown from clones rather than seeds. Cloning is the process whereby a grower takes cuttings from a mature plant and roots them, allowing them to grow into new plants that are genetically identical to their "mother" plant. Most important agricultural crops are either grown from seeds or by cloning — but rarely by both methods. It's yet another curiosity of the deeply unusual cannabis plant that it can be grown efficiently using either approach. But today cloning is king. Why?
The main reason is consistency. If you have a plant you like, you can take hundreds of cuttings from it, and if you treat them exactly the same, they'll all be exactly the same. With the rising commercial pressures in the cannabis industry, this is a huge consideration. Not just because customers are starting to realize that they should be demanding consistency, but because growers need it even worse. If all your plants are the same, then all your growing conditions can be the same. It's cheaper, and easier.
In the rest of the agricultural world, you can get this kind of consistency from a packet of seeds. If you buy tomato seeds, cucumber seeds, or pepper seeds, they'll all grow into essentially the same exact plant. This is because modern commercial plant seeds are true-breeding, meaning they're genetically stable, and give rise to basically identical progeny. Or they're the result of a cross between two separate true-breeding lines, which results in near-identical progeny in the first generation. Either way, you can rely on seeds to be what they say they are, and to be the same.
Not so with cannabis. Some extraordinary things have been accomplished over fifty years of basement experimentation, but cannabis breeding is still effectively about eighty years behind modern plant breeding techniques. Very few cannabis breeders have created a true-breeding line. So when you buy a packet of seeds, they'll all grow differently. They're not a "strain." They're the diverse and unique children of two different parents; they'll resemble each other about as much as humans resemble their siblings. Which is to say — only a little bit.
So here's how most commercial cannabis growers use seeds.They order a bunch of them, probably from Holland. They plant as many as they have room for, squeezed together, and grow them to maturity. They examine all their traits carefully, and then they smoke them. They pick the ones they like, and put them in a "mother room" where the plants can provide a steady source of clones for the production rooms. They'll give them a name — sometimes a brand new name (fair enough, because it's a genetically new plant), and sometimes they call it whatever it said on the seed packet (which actually makes less sense, because it's essentially giving a child the name of its parent or grandparent). Though perhaps we should just think of strain names as surnames; that'd actually be pretty accurate.
The whole process is often referred to as pheno hunting, but it should actually be called genotype-hunting. And it's good that people do it. It's not breeding, but it's been responsible for a remarkable flow of diversity into the cannabis market. The biggest reason for this approach is that once you pick a plant you like and start to clone it, all the clones are female. With seeds, you have to wait until you can identify the males, and get rid of them. Because males don't make cannabinoids. But they do make pollen, which can fertilize all the female plants in a grow room, and cause them to produce harvest-destroying seeds. And who wants seeds?
But now for the drawbacks to growing clones. And they're some pretty big drawbacks. Clones are easy to grow, and they're usually healthy enough. But seed-grown cannabis plants have a degree of size, health, and vigor that clones can't ever reach. This is partly because of the strong central taproot that emerges from seed-grown plants. Clones have a wavy scrim of roots, but no main taproot. And part of the difference is because clones have a tendency to "decay." Cannabis growers all over the world describe this phenomenon: after a few generations, clones lose their vigor. They start to get weak, susceptible, lower-yielding…and then they often give up altogether. Beloved genetics often disappear forever this way. Many people believe this is due to "genetic drift": some kind of progressive buildup of mutations, or perhaps a progressive wearing down of the ends of the chromosomes (a process that happens in many replicating cells, and is called telomere-shortening).
Mutations do, in fact, appear spontaneously as plants grow and could be passed on through cuttings. However, there's no evidence that this leads to progressive weakening of clones over time. It seems more likely that something else is going on. Every now and then you meet growers who this doesn't happen to — and they're always the ones with the most obsessive cleanliness practices. Some of them run clones for years without problems. We think that "clonal decay" is the result of the progressive accumulation of plant diseases. This is partly because we know that the clone economy in states like California, Oregon, and Colorado has led to an historic spread of cannabis plant diseases. People have been sharing and selling clones for years, and the practice has massively expanded in the last decade. As clones travel between grow rooms, they carry disease with them — bacteria, viruses, fungi, and even insects. Growers know this, and paranoia is setting in. Many people won't accept unknown clones under any circumstances now. But nonetheless the result of this clone economy has been a massive explosion of pesticide use.
I won't get into pesticides right now. That's a different story (read about the work we did on it here). But the point is that clones carry disease, and seeds don't. (Although there is some evidence that seeds can still harbor certain plant viruses, we haven't seen this for cannabis, and if it's possible it's certainly very rare).
Many growers, realizing the situation, are now turning to seed banks for the novelty that will fuel their businesses, rather than to trading in the trendiest new clones. And that brings us to the final problem with clones. The ones that catch the consumer imagination become incredibly popular. And even in the cannabis world — where some very non-traditional consumers are using the world's most diverse plant — there's still a kind of herd mentality. Last year, a huge percentage of flower sold in Washington State was "Blue Dream." It probably wasn't all really Blue Dream — this faddish mentality is one reason why we have the strain-name mess that we do now. People rename things to whatever is selling best. But nonetheless, what these trends lead to is monoculture. Monoculture is how traditional Big Ag does things. It's not good for the environment, it's not good for consumers, and it could spell death for the cannabis plant itself. If we don't preserve the incredible diversity of this plant, we're going to regret it forever.Seeds are an incredible source of diversity, and the people using them are ensuring the future of cannabis. They also produce plants that are strong, healthy, incredibly high-yielding, and don't spread diseases. On top of all this, it's cheap and easy to grow from seed; cloning is a hassle. For all these reasons, we hope people will start to grow from seed more and more. We built our seedling sex determination test because we think they will — especially if it's easy to get rid of the males right away.
We know that consistency matters. Until breeders start selling true-breeding seeds or consistent F1 hybrid seed, cloning will still be common in commercial operations. But it's not so hard to create stable seeds, and it will happen soon.
The bottom line is that seeds are good. Cannabis growers are going to start planting them more and more. And they're going to use them to grow tons and tons of really good pot.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, take a look at Gaebler's Business Plan Help section for a list of business plan writing resources.
Assess the Competition
Well in advance of opening a medicine cabinets business in your area, it's essential to find out how strong the competition is. We've provided the link below to help you get a list of local competitors in your area. Simply enter your city, state and zip code to get a list of medicine cabinets businesses in your town.
Gain a knowledge of how existing firms have positioned themselves in the marketplace, and then design your business in a way that sets you apart from the others.
Getting Advice from Experienced Entrepreneurs
Once you've finished assessing the competion, be sure to talk to somebody who is already in the business. It's very unlikely that the local competition will talk to you. What's in it for them?
On the other hand, an individual who has a medicine cabinets business outside of your community may be more than happy to give you a few tips, provided that you won't be directly competing with them. Indeed, many experienced entrepreneurs enjoy offering advice to startup entrepreneurs. In my experience, you may have to call ten business owners in order to find one who is willing to share his wisdom with you.
Where do you find a medicine cabinets business owner on the other side of the country to talk to?
It's easy. Here's a link you can use to find a mentor outside of your area.
Benefits & Drawbacks of a Medicine Cabinets Business Acquisition
An acquisition can be a great way to enter medicine cabinets business ownership. But it's important to evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of buying a business before you decide on either an acquisition or startup approach.
PROs: Acquired medicine cabinets businesses should be profitable right out of the gate; they should also be capable of demonstrating a loyal customer base, brand identity and operational efficiencies.
DRAWBACKS: However, purchased companies can also come with pre-existing challenges and/or liabilities. Ultimately, it may be more difficult to tailor a purchased business to your ownership style.
Don't Forget About Franchising As an Option
Your chances of achieving the entrepreneurial goal of surviving in business are much greater if you opt for franchising rather than going it alone.
If you are thinking about opening a medicine cabinets business, it's worthwhile to assess whether buying a franchise could help you on your entrepreneurial journey.
The link below gives you access to our franchise directory so you can see if there's a franchise opportunity for you. You might even find something that points you in a completely different direction.

The Hobey Baker Award has been given out to a male hockey player in the NCAA since 1981 with notable recipients including: Paul Kariya, Brendan Morrison, Chris Drury, Jordan Leopold, Ryan Miller, Matt Carle and most recently, Johnny Hockey (Johnny Gaudreau). The award winner must "exhibit strength of character both on and off the ice" and "contribute to the integrity of the team and display outstanding skills in all phases of the game." CHE is excited and proud to announce that 3 former CHE campers are among the nominees for this years award.
Matt Ginn from Lindsay, ON is a Senior at Holy Cross and leads Atlantic Hockey with a .933 save percentage and 2.01 goals against average. In his 4 years down in Worcester, Matt has set the school record for career saves (3244), shutouts (7), and minutes played (7044:05). A long time camper who attending the Specialized Goalie Program for many years, Matt enjoyed his time at the camp so much he went on to be a camp councilor, and ultimately one of our head goalie instructors. Good luck Ginner, we're pulling for you.
Mitch Gillam from Peterborough, ON has had a stellar Sophomore year at Cornell University, leading the nation with a staggeringly low 1.26 goals against average and .958 save percentage. He has allowed one or fewer goals in seven of his nine starts this season. Another longtime participant in the Specialized Goalie Program, Gillam spent many summers refining his skills under the tutelage of Red Wings goalie coach Jim Bedard and other CHE instructors. Good luck Mitch!
Brett Seney from London, ON attended the Junior / College / AAA Conditioning Program for many years, always leading the ongoing week long tournament in scoring against some of the best young talent from across the country. Brett's NCAA career has gotten off to a quick start, and in his rookie season at Merrimack College, Brett leads the team with 15 points (6 goals, 9 assists), an 18.1% shooting percentage (shoot the puck Seney), and a +6 plus/minus. He is currently tied for 2nd in rookie scoring in the HEA and tied for 8th in rookie points per game across the nation with a 0.88 scoring average. A long shot to win this year, there's no doubt a Hobey Baker could be in Brett's future.
From everyone here at CHE, good luck to all 3 nominees and we hope to see you lift the award high and proud in 3 months.

Vessels and other works by Pine Bluff glass artist James Hayes, Arkansas's own Chihuly, is in the Merkle and Price Galleries of the South Arkansas Arts Center.
Hayes, the owner of Hayes Art Glass Co., has studied glassblowing in Murano, Italy; Paris; the Glass Furnace in Istanbul; the Pilchuk Glass School in near Seattle and other places. Hayes says he uses "nature, chance and my experiences as inspiration for my art glass. …
"My art is playful, adventurous, colorful and distinctive. When I make something I always begin with the end in mind. However, during the glassmaking process the design can easily be changed. Inspiration is also drawn from color combinations in fashion, interior design and art."

Peacefully on Sunday, February 24th, 2019, at the Neepawa Hospital, Willard Schneider passed away just shy of 95 years old.
Willard was the youngest of five siblings born to Magdalene (Sweeney) and Edward Schneider who farmed near Gull Lake, Saskatchewan. During the Great Depression, in 1932, the family moved to Manitoba and settled near Langruth, where Willard attended school. He worked at the Co-op Store and farmed with his brother Bob and also Everett. After retiring from the farm, Uncle Bob moved to Portage while Uncle Willard moved to Crescent Lodge in Gladstone, where he lived for 25 years, tending to his tomato plants, tulips, special Saskatchewan cactus and watching baseball in the summers and following the curling on TV during the winters. A year-and-a-half ago he moved into Centennial Apartments.
He was predeceased by his parents, Magdalene & Edward, and his siblings and their spouses: Leona (William) Carson, Everett (Pearl), Gerald (Marion), and Robert.
Left with memories are his nieces and nephew: Audrey (Larry) Blaylock of Portage la Prairie, Donald (Sharon) Schneider of Saskatoon, and Barbara (Bob) Clarke of Moose Jaw. Great nieces Sheri & Lori Blaylock, Stacey (Matthew) McGeary and great nephews Jason (Brittany) & Christopher Schneider, and Jeffrey Clarke. Great great nephew Aidan Wilson. He had weekly phone conversations with his special cousin and confidante Joyce Covey of Balgonie, SK and was cared for in Gladstone by his good friend Laura Loomis.
Willard was a proud member of the Royal Canadian Legion #162 and then #110. He received his 70-year pin this past December.
Thank you to his neighbours, the community of Gladstone, the health care professionals in Gladstone and at Neepawa Hospital, and Laura Loomis. He always said he loved living in Gladstone because whenever he went uptown there was always someone to help him into the stores or hold open the door. He will be greatly missed and always remembered by those who loved him.
Cremation has taken place. A graveside service will be held later in the year at the Lakeland Cemetery where he will be buried beside his brother Bob.
To send flowers to the family or plant a tree in memory of Willard Eugene Schneider, please visit our floral store.

I'm looking at the arcuate fasciculus, a white matter fiber tract that serves as a relay between the Broca and Wernicke region of the brain. As background, I'm reading some papers by Marco Catani who has done some interesting work on the language networks in the brain.
Language models have their roots in the 19th century and in the first part of this paper, Catani et al. survey these early models. Then as now, the understanding progressed in small increments, and indeed the picture is still evolving. One physician, Reil, identified the arcuate fasciculus, perhaps in the dead of night in a cold disection room full of cadavers. A second (Burdach) named these fibers. A third, Wernicke, proposed a model linking the Broca and Wernicke regions and a fourth, Constantin von Monakow, suggested that this link was in fact the arcuate fasciculus.

We are officially into bowl season, the disappointing, yet still fun end to college football. There are no shortage of marquee games either. From the College Football Playoff to the Camping World Bowl, there are a ton of games that you should give your attention.
We decided to look at the biggest matchup for all of the top bowl games and the best matchup on either side of the ball for the New Year's Six. These will determine who goes home happy at the end of the year.
Here are the most compelling matchups of bowl season.
Josh Rosen, QB, UCLA vs. Jayd Kirby, linebacker, Kansas State
Assuming Rosen plays in the Cactus Bowl (he said he's going to play), this should be one of the better early bowls. Given the Bruins are 120th in defensive S&P+, they'll need Rosen to stay in it against the Wildcats. Kirby has been threatening in all facets of the game this season. He has four sacks, 10.5 tackles for loss, 81.5 tackles, and four pass breakups, per Football Study Hall. The cat-and-mouse game between those two could be what decides it.
James Washington, wide receiver, Oklahoma State vs. Adonis Alexander, cornerback, Virginia Tech
This one is going to be a lot of fun. Washington is the clubhouse leader for the Biletnikoff Award, given to the best receiver in the country. Alexander has been a stalwart corner on the second-best scoring defense in the country. Who knew the Camping World Bowl would be this intriguing? Alexander has an interception and four pass breakups on the year. Washington averages over 20 yards per catch — he's Mr. Big Play. This matchup will dictate whether Oklahoma State's offense can get going. If it does, the night will be long for the Hokies.
Bryce Love, running back, Stanford, vs. Ben Banogu defensive end, TCU
Love isn't Stanford's only offense, but he's close. The Cardinal rank 29th in offensive S&P+ thanks to quarterback K.J. Costello bringing the passing game some competency. However, the formula to beating them remains pretty simple: stop Love. Banogu has been TCU's best all-around defender this season, notching 15.5 TFLs and 11 run stuffs in total, per Football Study Hall. If he, and the rest of the Horned Frogs' D-line, can slow Love down, TCU's offense will take care of the rest.
Tavares Martin Jr., wide receiver, Washington State vs. Josiah Scott, cornerback, Michigan State
The quiet weakness of the Cougars this year, ironically enough, has been their offense. Outside of Martin, Washington State doesn't really have a dynamic player. Slow him down and the Cougars become stagnant pretty fast. Luckily for the Spartans, their defense is seventh in S&P+ thanks in part to a secondary that excels when it comes to limiting the big plays that define Mike Leach's Air Raid. Scott will likely go up against Martin for at least some of the game. The freshman has nine pass breakups on the year to lead MSU, per Football Study Hall. A few more and the Spartans will take the Holiday Bowl.
Lamar Jackson, quarterback, Louisville vs. Mississippi State defense
This is the only matchup on this list that isn't one-on-one, the reason being that every Louisville game feels like Jackson against the world. The rest of the Cardinals' roster is flat-out bad, yet they have the fifth-best offense in the country by S&P+. That's how good Jackson has been. Of course, that lack of talent represents a massive drawback for Louisville against a defense as good as Mississippi State's. The Bulldogs will key in on Jackson and try to force the Cardinals to beat them in other ways. Louisville can still score — it's hard to key in on a quarterback the way you would a running back or wide receiver — but their defense is so bad the Cardinals won't be able to keep up, at least in theory. The way Mississippi State handles Jackson is going to be what determines the TaxSlayer Bowl victor.
Anthony Miller, wide receiver, Memphis vs. Reggie Wilkerson, defensive back, Iowa State
Miller has been the catalyst behind Memphis' 52-point per game offense, putting up an absurd 1,407 yards and 17 touchdowns this year. Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell will be thinking a lot about him in the coming days and Wilkerson will likely have a role in Campbell's plan to stop him. Wilkerson has 62.5 tackles on the year along an interception and two pass breakups, per Football Study Hall. If the Cyclones' defense can stop the Tigers, they'll win the Liberty Bowl and the way to do that is by slowing down Miller.
Josh Adams, running back, Notre Dame vs. Devin White, linebacker, LSU
Adams, if he stays in South Bend, has put himself at the front of the 2018 Heisman discussion thanks to a 1,386 yard, nine touchdown campaign this season. The Irish rank fifth in rushing S&P+ — slow down Adams and quarterback Brandon Wimbush probably won't will Notre Dame to victory. White has been one of the best run defenders in football this season, notching 18 run stuffs and 12.5 TFLs, per Football Study Hall. Whether or not he can get in the Fighting Irish's backfield with consistency will be one of the biggest things to watch in the Citrus Bowl.
Deebo Samuel, wide receiver, South Carolina vs. Lavert Hill, cornerback, Michigan
Hill is a shutdown corner of the highest order. The sophomore has been targeted 26 times this year and given up just seven completions, per CFB Film Room. Nobody will mistake South Carolina's offense for one of the best in the country. However, Samuel is highly regarded as a potential draft prospect. Chances are he'll return from a broken leg in time for the Outback Bowl, where Hill will await. This rates are one of the more intriguing matchups of bowl season. Not only will it have a large impact on the game itself, but both players are likely to go to the NFL eventually. For Samuel, a good performance could prompt him to enter the draft this year. If Hill shuts him down, however, it's likely he stays in Columbia for his senior season.
Billy Price, center, Ohio State vs. Rasheem Green, defensive tackle, USC
Now for the good stuff. Ohio State's offensive line has been one of the country's best all year, thanks in large part to Price, who's widely considered the best interior lineman in college football. In Green, Price goes up against a player who has 11.5 TFLs and nine sacks on the year, the latter ranking second in the Pac-12. Immovable object, meet unstoppable force. The Buckeyes' offensive prospects will be largely dictated by the run game, where both quarterback J.T. Barrett and running back J.K. Dobbins can wreak havoc. If Green can win his matchup against Price, however, it will give the Trojans a leg up in the Cotton Bowl.
Sam Darnold, quarterback, USC vs. Denzel Ward, cornerback, Ohio State
Darnold has found his footing since USC's loss to Notre Dame at the end of October. In the five games since, the junior has nine touchdowns, two interceptions, with an average of nearly 300 passing yards per game. Against the Buckeyes, who rank 11th in defensive S&P+, we'll see just how real that renaissance has been. Ward has been targeted 51 times this year and given up only 18 completions, per CFB Film Room. In all likelihood, he'll draw the assignment of Deontay Burnett, Darnold's favorite target. Darnold will have to navigate those waters to bring the Field Scovell Trophy to Los Angeles.
Saquon Barkley, running back, Penn State vs. Vita Vea, defensive tackle, Washington State
This could be one of the most fun battles to watch on January 1. Barkley's Heisman campaign was derailed by his own coach. However, that doesn't mean he's any less of a threat to opposing defenses. Barkley is still perhaps the most singularly dynamic player in all of college football. On the other side, Vea is a 340-pound monster, the type of player who stands out as an NFL Draft prospect before you see him play a down of football. He swallows up space in the run game like few other defensive players. The winner of this matchup will put his team in a perfect position to take the Fiesta Bowl.
Chris Peterson, head coach, Washington vs. James Franklin, head coach, Penn State
Franklin has been woefully inadequate at times this year, especially when it comes to offensive playcalling. With star coordinator Joe Moorhead gone to Mississippi State, the onus is entirely on Franklin to get it right for the Fiesta Bowl. On the other side, it's hard to say a bad thing about Chris Peterson. Washington's head coach has had great success throughout his career and shown himself to be an offensive innovator. This matchup, to put it lightly, looks lopsided. It's on Franklin to balance the scales.
Jonathan Taylor, running back, Wisconsin vs. R.J. McIntosh, defensive lineman, Miami
If you can force Alex Hornibrook to make throws, you have a pretty good chance of beating Wisconsin. The way to do that, naturally, is by stopping the run. Taylor has been nothing short of great this year, with 1,847 yards on the ground. But Ohio State managed to hold him to just 41 yards in the Big Ten title game. Miami's run defense pales in comparison the Buckeyes', however, McIntosh is the Hurricanes' best shot. He has 19 run stuffs this year along with 12.5 TFLs, per Football Study Hall. If the 'Canes get his best effort, they've got a solid chance of stopping Taylor.
Malik Rosier, quarterback, Miami vs. T.J. Edwards, linebacker, Wisconsin
Rosier's struggles were the biggest factor in Miami's two straight losses to close the year. He completed less than half of his passes and threw for below 200 yards against both Pitt and Clemson. Things won't get easier for Rosier against the Badgers. Their defense, led by Edwards, is the best in the nation by S&P+. Edwards himself has 11 TFLs and two sacks on the year, per Football Study Hall. If he, Garret Dooley, and co can put pressure on Rosier, it could be enough to put Wisconsin over the top in the Orange Bowl.
Kerryon Johnson, running back, Auburn vs. Titus Davis, linebacker, Central Florida
Johnson was held to just 44 yards on 13 carries in the SEC title game last weekend. That was his second straight game averaging 3.5 or fewer yards per carry. Central Florida isn't known for its defense, however, it's hard to overstate how big it would be if the Knights could slow down Johnson. Davis, who has 23 run stuffs this season, is likely their best shot. If he can make a big impact in the run game, UCF will join Houston and Boise State as G5 teams to win a New Year's Six Bowl in the playoff era.
Tre'Quan Smith, wide receiver, Central Florida vs. Carlton Davis, defensive back, Auburn
Smith has arguably been the best player on UCF's offense, which leads the country in points per game. The 6-foot-1 junior has 54 receptions for 1,082 yards this season. Shut him down and Auburn will likely hand the Knights their first loss and win the Peach Bowl to boot. Davis has allowed just 17 completions on 44 targets this year, per CFB Film Room. He has as good a chance of anyone when it comes to stopping Smith. Expect to see a lot of this matchup on New Year's Day.
Baker Mayfield, quarterback, Oklahoma vs. Roquan Smith, linebacker, Georgia
Mayfield is the overwhelming Heisman Trophy favorite and the best quarterback in college football this year. Smith is the Bednarik Award favorite, given to the nation's best defensive player, and comes off a game in which he seemingly stopped Auburn single-handedly to put Georgia in the playoff. Yeah, this one is going to be fun. Oklahoma, to state the obvious, has to score to win. The Sooners' defense isn't good enough to keep them in a game. In facing Smith — and the rest of the 'Dawgs' defense — Mayfield will be navigating the toughest waters he's had to face all year. A win, however, would put the Sooners in the national title game.
Nick Chubb, running back, Georgia vs. Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, defensive end, Oklahoma
The Sooners are 95th in defensive S&P+, so Georgia should move the ball just fine in the Rose Bowl. However, Okoronkwo is worth paying attention to, especially in the run game. The senior has 17.5 TFLs and 23 run stuffs, per Football Study Hall. Chubb, along with Sony Michel, has spearheaded a lethal rushing offense all year. The odds are against Okoronkwo in this matchup, but if he can slow down the run, Oklahoma will be poised to win.
Kelly Bryant, quarterback, Clemson vs. Minkah Fitzpatrick, cornerback, Alabama
Bryant has done a solid Deshaun Watson impression all year, so naturally, he has to beat Alabama in the playoff now. That's an overstatement — if Clemson wins, their defense will likely be the reason why — but Bryant could be put in a situation where he has to drive down the field against Alabama to win the game. Fitzpatrick, likely the best defensive back in the country, will be Bryant's biggest obstacle all game, let alone in that hypothetical. He has 42.5 tackles and seven pass breakups this year, per Football Study Hall. According to CFB Film Room's tracking, he's given up just 17 completions to boot. Fitzpatrick will likely be the first DB off the board in the NFL Draft, but first, revenge could be in order.
Matt Womack, right tackle, Alabama vs. Austin Bryant, defensive end, Clemson
Womack is the weak link in the Crimson Tide's offensive line. He's given up 18 hurries, four hits, and a sack, per CFB Film Room, with a feeble 92.5 pass block percentage. And Bryant may be his toughest matchup of the year. The junior has nine sacks, four hits, and 16 hurries this season, also per CFB Film Room. He's been a terror to opposing quarterbacks and lining up across from Womack may be like Christmas Day. Alabama has to do all it can to help Womack, or Bryant may take over the game.

Food Network and Wente Vineyards Bring Flavors Together to Create entwine, a New California Wine Portfolio
Just in time for summer evenings spent on the porch with a glass of wine, Food Network and Wente Vineyards unveil entwine. A new California wine portfolio, entwine brings the joy of food and varietal flavors to new heights. A natural blend between two American food and wine pioneers, the collaboration between Food Network and world-class, family-owned California winery Wente Vineyards will inspire food lovers to dive into wine by bringing ease and excitement to enjoying wine and food. The initial line of entwinewines is now available nationwide with the 2009 vintage of four varietals, including Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, retailing for $12.99 each.
entwine wines are as diverse as their pairing possibilities – from comfort foods like mac and cheese and meatloaf, to more show-stopping recipes created by Food Network Kitchens. Each varietal is presented via the language of food, and each showcases suggested pairings on the back label, taking the guesswork out of finding a tasty match. By recommending off-the-shelf staples like potato chips and salami as well as grilled pork and shellfish, entwine celebrates all occasions, whether simple or elegant.
"At Wente Vineyards, we are inspired by how different varietals bring out the flavors in food. Partnering with Food Network for entwine was a natural step that we hope will encourage Food Network viewers, as well as anyone who is wine-curious, to become as passionate about wine as they are about food," said Karl Wente, Fifth Generation Winemaker at Wente Vineyards.
"We want to spotlight the natural relationship between wine and food, so we created the entwine wines. The name represents the easy way family, friends and of course, the flavors of food and wine all come together to make any meal a more delicious experience," said Sergei Kuharsky, General Manager of New Enterprises, Food Network.
For those looking for ideas and inspiration, entwine-wines.com serves as a resource for all things food and wine. The site enables searching by meal type, main ingredient or wine type to access recipes from Food Network Kitchens as well as simple everyday dish suggestions. Food and wine enthusiasts alike can download recipe cards or log on and share "how you entwine" with food, wine and everyday occasions.
entwine is available at a number of national retail chains and supermarkets, as well as independent on-and off-premise locations (including Kroger, Harris Teeter, Randall's/Tom Thumb, Safeway, Vons, Dominick's, Albertsons, Jewel-Osco, Giant and Publix). entwine was recently previewed at the Atlantic City Food and Wine Festival and will also be featured at the New York City Wine & Food Festival which runs from September 29 to October 2.
