Family Movie Night
- Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian ($29.99)- Living in DC has its advantages including being able to go to any and all of the Smithsonian museums when the mood strikes for free. It was also kinda cool to go the Air and Space Museum and see Night at the Museum 2 on the ginormous IMAX screen. While not much of the movie was really filmed in the museums, it was still fun to see all the DC landmarks make an appearance in the sequel to the original blockbuster set in New York. Ben Stiller is back as Larry Daley. Larry has moved on from being the night guard at The Museum of Natural History to a successful career when he is called back into service as the museum closes and crates and ships all the artifacts to Washington, D.C. where they immediately come to life and come into conflict. Larry Daley teams up with Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams) to save his museum friends and restore order to the Smithsonian. Fans of the first will certainly enjoy the sequel but this is a great movie to watch together over the holidays since it is film that all generations can enjoy. **Win 1 of 5 copies to give away courtesy of 20th Century Fox.

Disney took Snow White from their vault, digitally restored her 1937 self by enhancing picture and sound before re-releasing a combo pack that contains both a Blu-ray and a DVD to create a Diamond Edition that is available for a limited time only. I received a copy of this DVD for review purposes.
- Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure (Blu-ray + DVD Combo Pack: $29.99)- In 2008 audiences around the globe re-discovered and fell in love with one of the world's most iconic characters, as Walt Disney Pictures launched the breathtaking original story of a beloved character in the fantastic all-new animated adventure — Tinker Bell. Now the enchanting pixie-dusted tale continues in an action-packed adventure, as Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure expands the world of fairies and takes Tink far beyond Pixie Hollow in an original full-length animated film that have magical bonus features including animated "scenes you never saw," a guide to Pixie Hollow, and much more, offering viewers an extraordinary trip deep inside the enchanted world of Pixie Hollow.

Leo's move occurs right before Christmas and during a trip to Central Park, he loses his dog named Ramona. Heartbroken, Little Spirit appears to assist Leo and together they have an adventure of a lifetime as they take in the Christmas spirit of the city and meet fellow New Yorkers as they set out to find his dog. A truly heartwarming holiday story! **Win 1 of 3 copies of Little Spirit: Christmas in New York courtesy of Vivendi. Entertainment. I received a copy of this DVD for review purposes.
For the Hard to Buy For Grown Ups on the List
- Lost: The Complete 5th Season (DVD $59.99, Blu-Ray $79.99)- If you are Lost fans like we are, you are not only anxiously awaiting the start of the next season but dying to know how the numerous loose ends will come together in a nice neat package when the series comes to an end. Lost: The Complete 5th Season allows me to relieve the mystery and intrigue that I get each week from the series but I love the never-before-seen bonus material, including revealing cast interviews and behind-the-scenes features. There's also LOST University, a captivating immersive bonus that expands the world of "LOST" by giving viewers around the world an amazing interactive experience that you have to see to believe! Highly recommended for any Lost fan on your shopping list! **Win a copy of Lost: The Complete 5th Season courtesy of Disney Home Entertainment on DVD. I received a copy of this DVD for review purposes.
- Kevin Smith Movie Collection (Blu-Ray Box Set $89.99)- If you are as much of a Kevin Smith fan as Tech Savvy Daddy and don't yet own a Blu-Ray player, the Kevin Smith Movie Collection is enough to make you seriously consider taking advantage of the holiday sales to score one on sale just to watch this trio of classics in high definition. Perhaps characters like Jay and Silent Bob were never meant to be seen in high def but Clerks, Chasing Amy, and Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back are a real treat in Blu-Ray. Each of the three titles features all new Blu-Ray features. Clerks has an introduction by the one and only Kevin Smith while Chasing Amy features "Tracing Amy: The Chasing Amy Doc;" "Was It Something I Said?" – A Conversation With Kevin and Joey which is a must see for those who always wondered what happened after the movie ended. I received a copy of this DVD for review purposes.
- The Proposal (DVD $29.99)- This romantically comedy is cute without the cheese factor or predictable plot. Sandra Bullock plays a mean corporate boss who is loathed by her entire company who tasks her over worked assistant (Ryan Reynolds) into marrying out of convenience so she won't be deported to Canada. While the two do eventually fall in love, there are many rocks along the way, making for a delightful and fun contemporary romantic comedy. I reeived a copy of this DVD for review purposes.

In the early hours of this morning, we received a fax from musician/explorer Charles Vaughan offering explanation as to the delay in releasing Pylon Reveries, one of the many collections of music from Charles' private tape archive. We feel this only thickens the mystery. Message reads:
*Reason for delay: master tapes damaged by damp (difficult to avoid down here). Have been drying them out in an abandoned glass house, nearby. Been there a good while now, should hopefully be dry now. Will forward as soon as possible*
This video was meant to be published a while back. Stay tuned for further announcements.

In the streets
057 photisarath RD Ban That Luang, Luang Prabang, Laos, Laos
| +856 71 253 491
More info
Sun - Sat 12am - 12pm
The Ancient Sunrise Ritual of Buddha's DisciplesI took this photo while visiting Luang Prabang, which is the 3rd largest city in Laos and used to be the capital. The entire city has been named a world heritage site due to its beautiful valley and river setting, the quality of life and the culture. In a town of 60,000 people there are 65 temples (all breath taking) and about 1,500 monks.
Monks are not allowed to cook for themselves, so their day starts with an early walk through town where locals great them with a pinch of sticky rice carefully placed into a metal container that hangs from their neck. This peaceful and important tradition has been practiced since ancient times and is definitely worth the 5:30 AM wake up call.

Three year old Red Alto is yet to register his maiden win but trainer Brent Stanley has already pencilled in the Group 1 $600,000 Queensland Derby (2400m) at Eagle Farm during the Brisbane Winter Carnival.
Red Alto has been to the races on eight occasions for two seconds and a third but the High Chaparral gelding gave Stanley plenty to think about when he ran fourth behind Tarzino in the Group 1 $1.5m AAMI Victoria Derby (2500m) at Flemington during the 2015 Melbourne Spring Carnival.
Stanley believes that Red Alto will develop into a tough stayer and is not frightened to aim high.
"His main goal will be the Queensland Derby," Stanley told racing.com.
"All going well, that's the right thing to do and for his program, he'll be peaking around that time.
"He's a strong, tough horse, we know he stays and he can cope with a long preparation."
Stanley will also consider the Group 1 $500,000 South Australian Derby (2500m) at Morphettville on May 14 and the Group 1 $2m BMW Australian Derby (2400m) at Randwick on April 2, but the Queensland Derby will be his main priority.
"It seems to be the weaker of them and his form on wet tracks is quite good and they do get a wet winter up there," Stanley said.
Stanley also has high hopes for his other promising three year old Attack The Line who has been nominated for the Group 1 $750,000 Australian Guineas (1600m) at Flemington on March 5.
But a run in the three year old Group 1 looks unlikely with Attack The Line due to have a second barrier trial at Bendigo next Tuesday after winning a trial last Friday.
"He won his trial last Friday, he'll trial again Tuesday at Bendigo and then we'll decide where to start him off and just see how he comes through it," Stanley said.
"I'll let him tell us, but he's got to come out and win first-up, second-up and then we'll worry about some bigger races, but possibly 'The Championships'."
Attack The Line has only been to the races once for a fifth in a BenchMark 78 Handicap over 1000m at Moonee Valley on August 1 last year.

Datto Hits The Beach For An Olympic-Level Sponsorship
This summer, Datto is coming to your living room. In partnership with The Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP), Datto is excited to be the official sponsor of the AVP/FIVB Cincinnati Open, the final Olympic qualifier to be held in the United States before the 2016 Olympics in Rio.
"Datto is proud to be the official sponsor for the upcoming Cincinnati Open," said Austin McChord, founder and CEO of Datto. "We're excited to be involved with such an outstanding event and pleased to extend this fabulous co-marketing opportunity to our Managed Service Provider partners. Best of luck to all the athletes at the Cincinnati Open as they compete to earn a spot in the Olympics in Rio!"
The AVP/FIVB Cincinnati Open sponsored by Datto will be the third stop on the AVP's 2016 schedule and the only stop hosted and operated by the AVP as part of the FIVB World Tour. In order to qualify for an Olympic berth, internationally ranked teams must compete in and earn points at 12 FIVB tournaments. Thus, the Cincinnati Open comes at a critical time for Olympic contenders earning their spot in Rio and building momentum towards the Games. The women's and men's finals will be broadcast on NBC and NBC Sports Network.
"AVP is thrilled to have Datto as the Official Sponsor for the Olympic Beach Volleyball qualifying event," said AVP Managing Partner Donald Sun. "We look forward to having Datto as an Official Sponsor at what is going to be a tremendous event in Cincinnati May 17- 21."
To read more about the sponsorship, head over to the newsroom for the full release.

Carl W. Illig
Carl W. Illig
(American, 1910-1987) Western New York artist primarily known for his regional landscape oil paintings, harbor & marine scenes of Gloucester & Rockport, MA, and still lifes. Carl was born on May 26, 1910 in Depew, NY and enjoyed drawing all his life, but health and family circumstances prevented his pursuit of a formal art education. However, in 1926 he took a correspondence course in commercial art where he learned much about composition and perspective.
Illig made an early career as a carpenter which carried him through the Depression and WWII, but work was hard to find during that time period and it made studying art impractical. He escaped the war draft and during the early-mid 1940's, he criss-crossed the country, utilizing his carpentry skills to build houses, which he either rented or sold. He reached California but soon returned to the Western New York area where he worked in war-related industries at the Houdaille shock absorber factory in Buffalo and Richardson Boat in North Tonawanda, NY. In 1946, Carl moved back to northern California, and built a house in Capitola, near the Pacific coast. Two years later, he returned to New York after encountering labor union problems. He settled in East Aurora, NY, built two houses there, and also purchased land on nearby Prospect Avenue.
In 1950, at the age of forty, Carl began to paint in earnest. That same year, on his birthday, he married Virginia Root who was an elementary school teacher in East Aurora. Carl built two more houses on his purchased land in East Aurora, at 266 & 272 Prospect Ave., to live in one, while renting the other. Soon afterward in 1951, Carl began formal studies in oil painting with Arthur Kowalski (American, 1893-1958) in Buffalo, NY, as well as summer workshops in Riceville, NY. Kowalski also revered outdoor scenes and helped guide Carl into expressing his vision of Western New York landscapes. Carl learned rapidly and by 1953, he began exhibiting and competing, winning the Tricolor Award at the Erie County Fair three years in a row (1953-55), Hamburg, NY.
By 1955, the former carpenter and factory worker had phased out contract work and had become a full-time artist. He traveled to several cities including New York and Toronto, and studied art in many of the local museums. Around the same time, he built a studio onto the back of their family home at 266 Prospect Ave., where he worked and taught classes. In addition to selling his own works, he sold art materials to students, gave painting demonstrations and restored old paintings to supplement his income. In 1956, Carl was involved with the restoration of the large murals painted by the famous Roycroft artist Alexis Jean Fournier (American, 1865-1948), at the Roycroft Inn in East Aurora, NY. The murals occupy the Main Salon and New Foyer (former music room) of the Inn. That same year the couple had their first son, Carl R. Illig (1956-) and two years later they had their second son Peter J. (1958-). From the late 1950's-60, Carl and the family spent the summers in Gloucester and Rockport, MA, where he learned the technique of painting boats and surf from Emile A. Gruppé (American, 1896-1978) with whom he became friends. Carl had previously used the same palette and technique as Gruppé, so he progressed quickly and made a substantial part of his living from painting sales.
During the 1960's-70's, Carl became well-known for his plein air paintings and frequently took students on painting excursions around the Western New York area. He scouted many areas in Erie, Wyoming and Cattaraugus Counties for subject matter and sometimes took his camera along. He became fascinated by old covered bridges, which were still in existence in some of the rural areas. He exhibited his artwork annually every summer in East Aurora, which became known as the "Lawn Shows", because his paintings were displayed outdoors surrounding the family home, and they drew hundreds of visitors and buyers from all over the WNY area. At the same time, he began exhibiting in various art festivals in and around the Buffalo area, including; the Allentown Art Festival, Orchard Park Quaker Arts Festival, East Aurora Art Society, Williamsville, Hamburg, Lancaster, Kenmore, Gowanda, and others. He also exhibited in local group shows in Buffalo, including; The Carlton House, YMCA Art Gallery, Palmer Gallery, Sisti Gallery, Historical Society, and at local banks. In addition, Carl was hired by local art clubs in Hamburg, NY, Alden, NY, and Williamsville, NY, to demonstrate painting techniques for the members.
From 1977-81, he refurbished their adjacent rental house, which took time away from his painting. They sold the property at 272 Prospect Ave., which gave the family financial support and more importantly, allowed Carl to return to his painting. From 1983-1986, Carl and Virginia traveled to Florida for the winter months where he began to exhibit his artwork. By 1984, his health began to decline and his last paintings were executed that same year. But in 1985, Carl's paintings won First and Third Prizes in the Professional Class, at the Pasco County Fair, Dade City, FL, and First Prize at the Zephyrhills Outdoor Show in Zephyrhills, FL, which led to a purchase prize of three paintings by the Sun Bank of Pasco County, FL.
Carl was a member of and exhibited with the Buffalo Society of Artists, Buffalo, NY, and was also a member of the Springville Art Club, Springville, NY. He received first prizes from Lancaster, NY, Orchard Park, NY, and East Aurora, NY Outdoor Art Shows, as well as the George Inness Award from the Fine Arts League in Buffalo. Carl passed away on October 20, 1987, East Aurora, NY. His two sons, Carl and Peter followed their father in their own artistic pursuits; Peter is an artist and a high school art teacher and Carl is a research chemist and a part-time artist.

When you're launching a new product you have to get out there talking about it and engaging with people - you have to be passionate about it. With a great product this is easy to do.
Well this week for me has been all about passion and working to get our beautiful photobook products out there and recognised for the truly stunning things that they are.
I started my week in the 'trenches' and have remained there all week fighting - metaphorically of course - for potential customers to engage and create a book!
On Monday evening I attended a Business Networking event at a Romax Client the Churchill Theatre, they have a regular business club followed by a theatre show - how apt that this was Birdsong, a production adapted from a novel set during the First World War. Now this play is not what you would class as 'light entertainment' and despite it being an excellent production you needed the interval to collect your thoughts! What was fascinating however is that prior to the show, the theatre manager, who is a first world war amateur historian was truly engaging and passionate about his subject and you could not help but be drawn into his talk.
I admired his passion greatly and hoped that people had the same perception about the passion that not only I have but all my colleagues at photoleaf have. They too believe whole-heartedly in our product and have been 'doing their bit' as our new business takes off.
We cannot compare this to those fighting in the first world war trenches, and a blister or two from the canvasing is nothing compared with the trench foot the WWI soldiers suffered, but if we can continue to show the passion for our product in the same way those soldiers did in Birdsong, all will work out perfectly.

How to Configure HSL in MAS
How to Configure HSL in MAS
What is HSL ??
- Hot-standby-Link (HSL) contains 2 links: primary or active link and secondary or standby link.
- If the primary or the active link goes down, the secondary link automatically starts forwarding data traffic.
- Data traffic is forwarded only on the active link. While data traffic is blocked on secondary link, layer-2 control traffic is still permitted on it.
- When the primary interface becomes operationally up and secondary interface is active, the traffic is not switched to primary unless the preemption mode is set to forced.
Points to remember before configuring HSL.

LOCAL L.A. Now Hollywood sign altered to read 'Hollyweed'
Los Angeles residents awoke early Sunday to see that one thing, at least, looked different in the New Year: the Hollywood sign.
Armed with four tarpaulins, a prankster had climbed Mount Lee under the cover of night to edit the iconic landmark, which was changed to "HOLLYWeeD."
Security footage recorded at 3 a.m. Sunday showed a "lone individual" climbing up the mountain, scaling the sign's ladders and hanging tarpaulins over the O's to change them to E's, said Sgt. Guy Juneau of the Los Angeles Police Department's Security Services division.
It could have been a New Year's Eve prank, Juneau said, or the work of "a thrill seeker."
The surveillance footage showed a man dressed in black, tactical-style gear. One of the tarpaulins was decorated with a peace sign, and another with a heart.
Because the sign was not damaged, the incident will be investigated as misdemeanor trespassing. The police have no suspects.


text: Hi, i have an iMac 27 i5 11.1 where i want to install windows 7 (or 8). I already did it 2 years ago without problems, but in the mean time i formatted the drive and my optical drive stopped working so i replaced it with an ssd. I'm trying to install windows but i don't know how without a superdrive. I tried with an external usb dvd drive and it didn't work (you can't install windows from a non apple dvd drive, it is a known problem) but it don't work, so i tried to create an usb installation key of windows with microsoft official tool and also with boot camp tool, both doesn't work (when i select them on the boot i get an apple alternated with a prohibition mark and a folder with a question mark, exactly as with the dvd drive). So i thought that maybe if i can install windows on an external drive and boot it from there i will be able to launch the install directly from windows skipping the problem, but you can't install windows on an external drive.. I'm running out of ideas, someone can help me installing windows on my imac? thanks in advance

Pacioretty hat trick part of 7 goals in row by Canadiensby Sean Farrell
OTTAWA -- This time around, the Montreal Canadiens gave themselves more than 54 minutes to overcome a three-goal lead by the Ottawa Senators.
Max Pacioretty had five points, including his third hat trick of the season, and Montreal scored seven unanswered goals in a 7-4 win against Ottawa on Friday.
Andrei Markov, Mike Weaver, Lars Eller and David Desharnais also scored for the Canadiens, who trailed 3-0 at 5:50 of the first period after the Senators scored three times in 2:22.
"We still had confidence," said Pacioretty, who got his team-leading 36th, 37th and 38th goals to tie Tyler Seguin of the Dallas Stars and Joe Pavelski of the San Jose Sharks for the most hat tricks in the NHL this season.
"We knew that they had gotten the bounces early on, but obviously you look at the shots and we definitely got some favorable bounces and that's just the way it goes some nights. But it just shows our last two games against them, you're never down and out.
"Obviously tonight was very early, but you keep working hard and good things happen."
In their prior game against the Senators on March 15, the Canadiens scored three times in the final 3:22 of the third period to erase a 4-1 lead in a 5-4 overtime win at Bell Centre.
Friday, Pacioretty assisted on Weaver's first goal in more than a year, and on Desharnais' goal at 9:14 of the third period, which increased the lead to 7-3.
"He's an animal," said Desharnais, who assisted on Pacioretty's third goal. "He scores every chance he's got and I don't expect less from him. He's a great guy, a great leader, and that's what we need from him. All the credit to him."
Peter Budaj made 39 saves for Montreal. The Canadiens, with four games left to play, moved into second place in the Atlantic Division with 95 points, two ahead of the Tampa Bay Lightning, who have one game in hand.
"They got off to a hot start and it was a good thing when they scored three goals in five minutes that you have 55 [minutes] to come back in the game," Desharnais said. "We didn't panic and we stuck to our plan and got back in the game."
Zack Smith scored twice and Ales Hemsky got his first goal in eight games for Ottawa in the first period. Mika Zibanejad scored with 5:53 left in the third.
"It's hard to say that we stopped playing, but we didn't play the game we wanted to," Smith said. "We gave them too many chances, they had a lot of room in front of the net and a couple of box-outs; the list goes on."
Craig Anderson stopped 16 of 23 shots for the Senators, whose faint Stanley Cup Playoffs hopes are slipping away. Ottawa has 78 points, seven points out of an Eastern Conference wild card with five games remaining.
Markov got this Canadiens comeback underway at 7:22 of the first period when his shot from behind the goal line went in off Anderson's left skate to draw Montreal within 3-1.
Thomas Vanek provided a screen when the Canadiens made it 3-2 at 9:17 on a shot by Weaver, who scored his first goal in 79 games dating to Feb. 22, 2013 for the Florida Panthers.
Weaver, who has eight goals in 598 NHL games, was well aware it had been a while since he scored.
"A very long time. I'm pretty sure you guys did the math," said Weaver, who was acquired in a trade with Florida on March 4. "Hey, when I came in here I said I was going to score a lot of goals. I just put my head down and shot it. I'd like to tell you guys that I was picking that corner. In this game, it's really tough to get a goal from the point without a screen."
Pacioretty tied it 3-3 with his first goal of the game at 15:52. Eller gave Montreal a 4-3 lead with his 12th goal of the season at 4:09 of the second.
Referee Francois St. Laurent waved off a potential tying goal by Ottawa at 4:17 before Pacioretty made it 5-3 with his second of the game on a breakaway at 15:25. He increased the lead to 6-3 when he completed his hat trick at 1:09 of the third period.
"They got a lucky first one, it looked like, and the momentum started to swing and we couldn't stop it," Senators center Kyle Turris said.
Ottawa took a 1-0 lead 2:28 into the game off a faceoff in the Canadiens zone. Smith, who won the draw back to Chris Phillips at the left point, beat Budaj with a backhand on a rebound of the defenseman's shot.
Hemsky made it 2-0 at 4:35 when he deflected Patrick Wiercioch's shot from the left point before it struck Montreal defenseman P.K. Subban's stick on its way past Budaj.
Zibanejad broke down the right side on a 2-on-1 and passed to Smith, who scored his second goal of the period into a wide open left side to put Ottawa up 3-0.
Hemsky did not play in the third period because of an upper-body injury. Ottawa plays at the New York Rangers on Saturday.

Former environment minister Peter Garrett's word that the home insulation program would last caused the financial ruin of a Queensland company, an inquiry has heard.
Greg Rashleigh has told a royal commission his company, All Seasons Insulation, ramped up business after he attended a meeting in March 2009 where Mr Garrett said the scheme would run for two years or until the money ran out.
Mr Rashleigh built a $2 million manufacturing mill.
Eleven months later, the Rudd government scheme, introduced during the global financial crisis, was prematurely terminated after the deaths of four installers.
Mr Rashleigh was forced to close his Toowoomba-based business of 34 years in May 2010, leaving him with the unused mill and $3.36 million worth of stock, the inquiry was told.
He later received 15 per cent commonwealth compensation for the insulation stock.
"Mr Garrett was the minister at the time and he was the one who was going to tell us if we could ramp up or not," Mr Rashleigh said.
"Hearing it from him, especially from him, was sufficient for me to say we have to get going."
Mr Rashleigh said he could still picture Mr Garrett gesturing emphatically with his right hand while giving his word.
"I can see him doing it right now ... he's got a hand three times as big as mine," he said.
Mr Rashleigh said the early termination of the pink batts scheme left the industry in tatters.
"It was like someone turned the tap off," he said.
"One day you were working 24/7 ... the next day there was nothing."
Mr Rashleigh said the industry still hadn't recovered.
"Insulation is a dirty word. Nobody wants to know it," he said.
Mr Garrett, former prime minister Kevin Rudd and senator Mark Arbib are not scheduled to appear at the royal commission before it adjourns next Wednesday.
They are expected give evidence in the second block of public hearings which begin on May 5 in Brisbane and are likely to run for two weeks.
The inquiry continues.

I'm going to do something a little out-of-the-ordinary, here, and take the time to do a brief profile on one of the Badgers' upcoming foes: South Dakota defensive end Jesse Weisbrod.
I'm doing this because, in someways this Saturday, Weisbrod will be coming home. You see, playing in Camp Randall will by no means be a new experience for Weisbrod.
Weisbrod, a Waupaca, Wis. native, was the captain of his high school's 2007 state championship team that captured its title playing on, well, you guessed it, the Badgers' home playing field. Now, four years later, the 6-5, 275 lb red-shirt senior makes his way back to Madison to face his home-state team Wisconsin Badgers.
O yeah, and did I mention he was a high school classmate and football teammate of your RedZone contributing writers, Sam Oleson and Mitch Larson? Told you it was an interesting story…
We caught up with Weisbrod and asked him a few questions about what it'll be like to return to Camp Randall.
What will it feel like stepping onto the field at Camp Randall for the first time since you won the state championship?
WEISBROD: Obviously I have some great memories associated with Camp Randall but I won't really know how I'll feel until I step onto the playing-field. I'm just looking forward to the opportunity to play in such a historic stadium in front of a crowd usually am cheering along with. This Saturday, obviously, I'll be pulling for the Badgers' opponent.
Do you think it gives you an advantage knowing that you've already played in Camp Randall?
WEISBROD: I don't think it gives me any advantage just because it's been so long since I've played there.
If you had to sum up the style your Coyote defense plays, in one sentence, what would it be?
WEISBROD: I'd say our defense is unrelenting in its pursuit of the ball. Simply put, we just try to get out there and get after it.
What do you expect from the Badgers, come Saturday?
WEISBROD: As far as expectations of the Badgers, I know they're going to come right at us, like any other team. I know they have Nebraska the following week, but I don't believe they'll be taking us lightly.
Are you feeling anything different preparing to play the team you grew up cheering for opposed to a team in your conference?
WEISBROD: It's obviously very different getting ready to face a team I've been watching since I was a kid. Watching them on film is almost surreal. At the end of the day, though, they're just another team like every other one we prepare for; I have to treat it as such.
What does it mean to you to get to come back and play in front of your family and friends who maybe haven't seen you play in four years?
WEISBROD: Playing in front of family and friends that haven't seen me play in four years adds a bit of extra pressure. But not only do I personally want to play well in front of them, I want to show them that our entire team can play well, too. I have a group of 60 people from my hometown coming down to watch and cheer for me, so I'm hoping to make them proud.
I know as sports fans we sometimes get caught up cheering for our home team. Sometimes–and probably more often than not–we can even get down-right nasty to our opponents and opposing fan-bases. I'm here to say that we need to keep some perspective and realize that, even though they may be facing off against the team we bleed for, they're still collegiate athletes fighting for their teammates and fan-bases. But more importantly, they're good people. Such is the case with players like Jesse Weisbrod. And while I'll surely be rooting for my Badgers on Saturday, I wish all the best to stand-up players like Weisbrod and his teammates.
On Wisconsin.
-Mitch Larson
