Maroon Messenger: November 2018
Dear HCHS Parents,
Our students (your child) are such a blessed gift straight from God. It's part of what makes this calling at school such a high one. We are entrusted to become part of the story of young adults who belong to our Heavenly Father. This past month we had two evenings of Parent Teacher Conferences that provided the opportunity for parents and teachers to dialogue about this important partnership that we have with each other. Thank you to all who were able to attend. We also had two days this past month which allowed teachers the opportunity to attend the annual Christian Educators Association (CEA) conference. This year we headed to Indiana with 1,100 other Christian educators.
November always seems to be a month of transitions. We see the reality of where we are in the school year (halfway through the semester, 25% of the year already over for seniors, students wondering about post-high school action steps, fall sports season wrapping up and winter sports beginning). This transition hits students in a variety of ways. Suddenly we are in a sprint to the end of the semester. Exams are less than 8 weeks away but there is still time to redirect students who might not be learning all that we desire for them to learn. This redirection might be a skill issue or it might be a will issue. Good communication in a variety of ways (student to teacher, teacher to student, student to parent, parent to student, teacher to parent, parent to teacher) is vital to achieving our common goals. This might come as a suggestion from a parent or from a teacher that a transition might be needed for them in how they are approaching their studies.
I want to wish you all a great season of Thanksgiving. As you think about preparing your table for thanksgiving, keep in mind all the wonderful things God has given to us. We really do have so much to be thankful for as a school community. I am thankful for your child, I am thankful for our fantastic teachers and I am thankful for our partnership with you in their educational experience.
Thanks for all you do,
Kristy Taylor,
HCHS Interim Principal
You are invited to join us for our Veterans Day Assembly on Monday, November 12. Our program will begin at 8:45 am in the High School Gym, with coffee in the Cafeteria immediately following.
Instant TRIP: Wednesdays 7:30 am – 9 am

To our National Merit Commended students:
Ted Bass, Savannah Page and Ryan Storteboom
We are currently meeting with the seniors (individually) to make sure they have all the information they need to make decisions regarding their futures. We are encouraging college bound seniors to get their applications in by Thanksgiving vacation to have the best opportunities for financial aid. We are offering to assist non-college bound seniors with career selection, information, and job placement.
For a complete listing of colleges visiting the HCHS campus and for various open house dates at colleges and universities, visit the Counseling Department page of the HCHS webpage.
Available for students in the counseling office: Preparing for the ACT booklet contains full-length practice tests, information about the optional writing test, strategies to prepare for the test, and what to expect on test day. The SAT Student Guide contains information about the SAT, test-taking advice and tips, and an official practice test.
All students seeking financial aid (institution based & state & federal funds) must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) online at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The FAFSA has been available for you to complete since October 1. Be sure to check the financial aid link on each college website for their deadline. The final deadline for consideration of state financial aid in Michigan is March 1. For information on obtaining your FAFSA ID, go to www.StudentAid.gov/fsaid.
FAFSA4caster is a federal aid estimator that can be used before officially applying for aid using the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). FAFSA4caster will provide you with an estimate of your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is an index that colleges use to determine what types of student aid you may receive. Using your EFC, FAFSA4caster will determine what types of federal grants, loans, and work-study you might qualify for and will provide you an estimated award amount for each. Any student, regardless of age or year in school, may use FAFSA4caster. Go to www.fafsa4caster.ed.gov. The website will provide information on next steps in the financial aid process. Also, in winter of your senior year of high school, you will receive a reminder to complete the FAFSA.
Throughout the school year, various scholarship opportunities will be posted online through the Counseling Department. A listing of outside scholarships, both regional and national, will be updated as we receive notices of scholarships. Beginning in the second semester, there will be information online about the Holland/Zeeland Community Foundation Scholarships that are open to Holland Christian students and also internal HC scholarships, which are for Holland Christian students only.

Following Split, M. Night Shyamalan's stealth sequel to Unbreakable, Glass is the final piece to his trilogy of superhero's in the real world. When David Dunn (Bruce Willis) and Kevin Wendell Crumb (James McAvoy) are captured and placed in a mental hospital with Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) it falls to Dr. Ellie Staple (Sarah Paulson) to convince them that their powers can be explained away and that they are not well.
That synopsis is all I will say about the storyline here as with most Shyamalan films they are best watched knowing as little as possible. So what I want to discuss is how this film mostly succeeds in rounding out the trilogy whilst still living in Unbreakable's shadow.
Split worked so well as a sequel because no one knew it was one until the end credits. It was essentially a thriller with James McAvoy given free rein to chew scenery with his multiple characters. Glass does not have it quite so easy as it needs to tie the earlier two films stories together and remind its audience of what happened in a film released 19 years ago. It's great then to see camera moves reminiscent of that original film and to hear the soundtrack cues for its hero and villain. It also returns to the character monologues of the first film where they discuss the building blocks of comics and how they link to the story unfolding. And of course McAvoy gets to chew scenery again with his many characters.
After an absolutely cracking first third it slows down for quite a lot of these monologues. It's something that I can see causing problems for some. There is also perhaps a lack of Bruce Willis after this point, given that he is the most relatable character.
As a huge fan of Unbreakable it provided me with a lot of enjoyment. But non-fans of Unbreakable, Split or Shyamalan (yes he treats us to another cameo of bad acting) absolutely have nothing to see here.
Oh and nothing happens after the credits, much to my disappointment.

text: This would be a great game, if Super Mario Kart Circuit did not exist. Why? Because the game Konami Krazy Racers is a clone of Super Mario Kart Circuit, only with different tracks, a few new modes and less than famous Konami characters. The weapons are less than stellar, as you run through a bell and get a random weapon of a bomb, snow crystals to freeze enemies behind you, a mole to dig a hole, a booster or three rockets to shoot ahead. The controls are even the same, A to accelerate, B to brake, L to use a weapon and R to jump. There are four circuits of four tracks in this game and three levels of difficulty. The tracks are nothing special, its more like an extension of Super Mario Kart, having courses on a beach, moon road (star road), and a cabbage patch (donut plains). The new modes are quite nice, with two mini games, like a game of chicken where you and 3 random racers race toward the end of the track then stop before falling off. Then there is also the "bomb track" mini game where you and three random opponents chase each other trying to destroy one another. Its quite tedious and boring. Another feature to this game is you can collect coins while racing to buy better vehicle parts, which is quite nice. There are cartoonish graphics (Konami is known for making dark graphics), some bad music, and to me personally buying this clone was an insult, because of how similar it is to Super Mario Kart Circuit.

Will It Take A New Political Party to Save America?
Some very interesting thoughts on how the new party will emerge on the scene due to the bungling by the current Republican "leadership". They keep collapsing like a Walmart made in China lawn chair and they will cease to exist as a party. We are going to end up with two new parties or possibly three or more parties. The fiscal conservatives in this country have had enough of Washington smoke and mirrors. They have also had enough of the weak Republicans, so 2012 is the Republican party's last chance to change things and based on current events it doesn't look like they get it yet. They haven't picked a strong fiscal conservative to rally around and they are making weak ass deals on spending at every turn. Them pissing on my foot and telling me it is raining is getting very tiresome and I am fully ready for a serious change. If the Republicans keep backing losers that are strictly job seekers then they deserve to become extinct. The Democrats have made their bed and they are firmly in the socialist camp, so there are some Americans that were associated with center of the Democrats that need a new home and it won't be the far right wing nut party. Looking into my crystal ball, you will either have two parties the progressive and fiscal conservative or this thing will fracture all over the place and you will have the socialist democrats, centrist/moderates, fiscal conservatives, and the far right all out conservatives.
If it breaks down that way the two in the middle will be divided by abortion or maybe not, the two extreme parties will be on the fringe canceling each other out. The rise of the center is a good thing and most Americans want responsible government, but are also compassionate to a point. The Democrats and Republicans could save their parties by pushing their extremes to the sidelines, but neither is willing to do so because they are needed to win primaries. The good news is that there is a new wind blowing and maybe it will be the fiscal conservatives on all sides that will washout the corruption and stupidity in Washington. I am okay dealing with moderates and fiscal conservatives because they balance each other in the middle vice the extremes we are seeing now. We could accomplish a hell of a lot more if we stopped swinging widely from left to right and focused on cutting the waste down the middle. We need serious minded people to look at the revenues and the expenditures, then cut to make them match. I've said it before and recent polls have proven me out that Americans are willing to pay taxes, but they abhor government wasteful spending. We need to cut spending first, then reform the tax code, and then reform entitlements. We have so far failed at step one, so until we actually make the cuts we cannot proceed to step two, and we can't even begin to talk about entitlements until we have a solid plan on one and two.
I love Paul Ryan's plan as a jumping off point for moving forward, but we can't have a serious talk about entitlements until we are serious about spending cuts. Americans are ready to cut off granny's meds until every other possible cut has been made because we are compassionate people that want to live up to our obligations. If you want to talk about granny's meds you have better cut out all the other government BS first, then you can tinker with granny's meds. You say we can't balance the budget without tinkering with granny's meds, then show me by cutting everything else to the bone first and then we will know how far we have to go in medicare, medicaid, and social security. Starting in on those three while you are pissing away billions elsewhere is a non-starter with millions of Americans. If you want support for entitlement reform fix the rest of wasteful government first then you can tackle granny's meds. I guess that puts me solidly in the middle with the moderates, while still being a fiscal conservative that wants to get Washington under control. I currently don't see anything they are offering as worthy of our votes. Fix it now and keep working it until we have balanced the budget and paid off the national debt, but start with the billions upon billions in other spending first. That way I will know you are serious and I will have more confidence in your ability to take on entitlements.
How I digress, but it is fundamental to the starting premise. The Democrats as they now exist are not going to take on big government's wasteful spending and apparently neither are the current crop of Republicans, so come 2012 we can vote to change the dynamic or vote for more of the same. If the vote is for more of the same, then expect significant political upheaval in 2014 and 2016. It takes time and several election cycles to make a change in the system, but it is possible. The current Republican party is unlikely to survive if it doesn't get serious about cutting spending because too many average Americans are sick and tired of wasteful government spending. They will seek to find those who will do what it takes and the Tea Party is on the rise in the middle, most are fiscal and social conservatives but there is room in the middle for even more fiscal conservatives because this country has millions of them just waiting to support fiscal sanity.

This phrase pretty much sums up the de-clutterer/organizer's mantra.
Last night, I spent time in the shop finding the best storage spots for all of the woodworking tools that were placed in the 'essential' and 'secondary' tool piles the night before. All of these items readily fit around and under the workbench.
An 11" shelf was installed under the bench top to hold the hand planes, chisel sets, and various wooden cigar boxes holding all of the smaller tools and auger bits.
Larger tools and often used jigs and fixtures go on the bench bottom shelf. Everything is visible and within easy reach.
Finally, the recessed spaces at either end of the workbench made a great place to hang braces, hand drills, and various saws.
If any of you handsawgeek blog followers are contemplating a similar exercise, I'm sure your method of tool storage will be vastly different from mine. You may prefer racks, cabinets, drawers, a tool chest, or any other number of different tool arrangement schemes. Go with what's best for you, the way you work, and the size of your tool collection.
As for me, the goal here is to eventually have my entire woodworking operation reduced down to a minimum amount of space and shop furniture required for comfortable, efficient work: A workbench, saw bench, hardware/supply storage, wood storage, and a place to keep handsaws and clamps.
Oh, and I might reserve some space for that treadle lathe I've been dreaming about building for some time…..

I got to learn how to ride horses for the first time at a summer camp for Christian Scientists. I had never been around horses before, and I was nervous. My instructors taught me how to mount a horse, ride a horse, and care for a horse. When it was time to learn how to "canter" on a horse, it was very hard for me to get over the fear of flying up and down in the air as the horse ran underneath me.
That day, for inspiration, some counselors were listening to a popular song with lyrics from this Bible verse: "Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalms 46:10). We talked about how we can feel God is always with us if we stay quiet in our thought and know that God is in control, no matter what else is going on around us.
On the final rodeo day at camp, I prayed to know that my horse was an expression of God, and that I was there to be an expression of God, too. As they called my name to go into the ring, my horse seemed nervous, and I was afraid that she would buck me off her. My counselor reminded me to think about what we had learned about being still and feeling and knowing God's presence.
As my horse started to canter out into the ring, I could feel myself flying in the wind and thought, "Be still, and know that I am God." I was not afraid anymore! My horse and I went through a whole barrels course with speed and grace. I really did feel like we were flying together, under God's care. To my surprise, I ended up winning first place in the barrels that day. I even got a better time than some of the teenagers!
I shared this with my church one Wednesday evening at a testimony meeting. I think it helped other people, too, because at the next testimony meeting, a woman shared how one night she thought she was having an allergic reaction. But then she remembered how I had said I overcame my fear by remembering, "Be still, and know that I am God." She said she immediately felt fine and was able to fall right to sleep. That made me feel really good that I was able to help someone else. I am really grateful for what Christian Science is teaching me about God.

Discussion in 'Music Corner' started by MC Rag, Jan 17, 2016.
Just one time I wish it was Spirogyra and not Spyrogyra. Maybe one day.
There's currently at 8 charity shops here, all carrying a selection of CDs, with most also carrying records. I tend to visit two or three of them every week, and visit the rest at least once a month.
Recent acquisitions all from one shop include several jazz titles for about £1 each, and the first recording of Philip Glass's "Music in 12 Parts" for £3. The same shop can be expensive for other titles - they've currently got the recent Rick Astley CD in their window at £4.99, despite the fact that you can pick up a new one for a penny more from the nearby branch of Sainsbury's!
One local shop recently had the first two Beatles albums under their counter marked at £20 each. I asked to take a look at them, and both were in a really bad shape, badly scratched, torn sleeves, with With The Beatles also missing its inner sleeve.
Makes you wonder who buys that stuff because someone eventually will. I've never seen any Beatles music in a charity shop, did see an Exile on Main Street, early pressing but was £50 which I'm sure was way too much.
Just bought Travis - Singles and an original Led Zeppelin Houses Of The Holy for 99p each from a local charity shop when out for lunch!
Picked these two up at lunchtime, I've not come across this Jimi one, but for £0.99 I couldn't let it pass, the Rumer cd I'm looking forward to listening to.
I went yesterday and unless the weather is really bad go all year round, yesterday it was raining all the way, but every weather forecast had said it would be dry so we went anyway and it stopped raining about five minutes after we got to the boot sale, the weather kept most of the competition away and I picked up about forty decent LPs, a Shure M75ED for £1 and a very nice Sony music centre which I will get a new belt for and offer to someone as a very nice alternative to a Crosley as a public service. In the thirty plus years I've been seriously buying records I've never had any finds in a charity shop, I've had Hi Fi and the odd other thing, but not one great record, even back in the eighties there were people creaming off anything good, they still are and what's left is usually trashed and over priced, local record shops are usually cheaper and grade properly.
My brother who doesn't collect records does get some nice CDs and DVDs from charity shops, but I can get great CDs for between 20p and £1 at boot sales so have no inclination to look in charity shops, likewise books are usually better and cheaper at boot sales.
I found a copy of the Genesis P. Orridge book Painful but Fabulous for a couple of quid. Cheapest copies on Amazon: £250.
I'm waiting for the Fifty Shades of Grey art installation.
Seriously, couldn't they just sell them for recycling? Or does it cost money to recycle them?
You do occasionally come across something out of the ordinary.
A few months ago I spotted a double-album in a sleeve that was plain white, other than for a couple of stickers bearing the title of the album. The record labels were printed, but neglected to credit any artist. There was also a printed insert with a list of performers. I suspected it was a promotional or test pressing of an obscure concept album.
However a brief dig on the history of the obscure record label that issued it revealed that virtually all of their albums came in blank sleeves. The label was tied to a small recording studio based in a seaside town that mainly produced albums or EPs of acts performing in summer season there. The album title was similar to the name of a private school in the area, and this was simply an LP of one of the school's annual revues.
Still, someone went and bought it, as it disappeared from the shelves after a few days.
Thank you!
I can confirm that this is true:
Charity Shop Diary: 17/01/15: No Parlez (Barnardo's)
Forget Paul Young ... how exciting is that Basil Brush LP?!
Saturday Oxfam Hertford picked up :-
Miles Davis - Birth Of The Cool (Dutch 1989 Capital CD)
The Smiths - The Queen Is Dead (Rough Trade CD)
Jean Michel Jarre - Oxygene (Near Mint 1976 UK LP issue)
....none of these are particularly rare but I was pleased with my haul none the less.
Previously in this store I have got The Beatles Million Sellers EP and Please, Please Me (UK 60s Stereo LP) both in decent condition. Also Mark Lewisohn's The Complete Beatles Sessions Hardback book in near new condition for £10.
I agree with a lot of the posters re: Oxfam and others' pricing'.
Every charity shop epoch has its own book. Currently it's Fifty Shades of Grey, where previously it was Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code. Agree with other posters - vinyl hunting in charity shops is no fun anymore - ridiculous prices, a lot of the time for rubbish in bad condition.
My problem is that I am an avid book reader so I look for vinyl and come out with paper instead.Records and CDs have nothing on the room taken up by hard back books.
I kinda like hunting for early CDs in charity shops because you can come across plenty of unusual items. 99p for this Japanese classical CD.
Sure, it's not the black triangle, but pretty cool anyhow. I once came across a CD set of Chinese music. Didin't know much about it, but it may have been a gold CD. Pretty weird.
I saw the latest hardback by Graham Norton for 99p last week. Bet he'd be thrilled to see that!
I popped into a couple charity shops this afternoon. The usual mish-mash of junk CDs on display - still sealed magazine cover-mounts, Ibiza dance music compilations, a Ministry of Sound compilation with a tatty slip-case, and many budget-label classical releases.
One shop also had a slew of budget label jazz issues, mostly 50-year rule out-of-copyright issues. They also had an odd looking Bill Evans CD with no recording date credit, and with brief notes in French - I presume this was a collection of live takes from the 1970s based on the track listing, but I could be wrong. I may go back and pick it up tomorrow.
It's not only records that can be overpriced.
The last real 'find' I saw was the RCA CD of Scary Monsters a few weeks ago. It cost 99p, but I didn't pick it up because I have the SACD! It stood out amongst all the other CDs because of the distinctive RCA spine. The disc looked practically mint too.. I should have bought that and put it on eBay!
Even though I no longer collect Bowie CDs*, I wouldn't have been able to resist that one. Great bargain for someone.
*Back in the 1990s, I had a complete set of U.K. Bowie RCA CDs.
It had gone the next time I went in. It would have made someone's day.
I hope it went to somebody who genuinely wanted it.
Yeah. Probably some greedy beggar who went and stuck it straight on eBay though. Like I would have done.
I was so shocked at seeing it I almost knocked over the pile of Beyoncé, Will Young and Robbie Williams CDs that were directly next to it!

I love to dabble with Photoshop. I'm not a wiz, but I definitely believe in "if there's a will, there's a way." So for all of you other DIYers out there, I am sharing three blank ebook graphics.
Plain white shows some imperfections, but once your graphic is added, they are not noticeable unless you look really, really hard.
Right-click on the graphic, and it will give you the option to save the file. You are then free to save the blank ebook graphic and lay your own graphic onto this image.
I'm not sure what program you would use on graphics 1 and 3 to overlay your image, but in Photoshop you can start with your square/rectangular graphic then use the "perspective" function under edit–>transform to get it into place. Graphic 2 is a frontal, so you should just be able to lay your image over the top of it.
All images are on a transparent background.
I'm happy to help answer any questions. Leave your question below, so others can be helped, too. Blessings!

This rating system is born from my own personal opinions…..
☆☆☆☆☆☆ Phenomenal.
Fangirling to a point of embarrassment. So good that I was physically unable to perform my adult responsibilities until the book was completed.
☆☆☆☆☆ Loved.
Fangirling hard and made it to work but not much else until the book was finished.
☆☆☆☆ Liked it, a lot.
Still fangirling but maybe there was just a little something extra I was looking for. Made it through the day without reading chapters in the bathroom.
☆☆☆ Enjoyed.
Was able to finished the book, but the plot line or characters just weren't all the way there for me. Read after everyone was in bed and adult responsibilities completed for the day.
Smut Rating:
🔥🔥🔥🔥 Supernova HOT
Sex so hot and explicit that you are probably going to need a new pair of panties!
🔥🔥🔥 Extremely HOT
Hot enough that your coworkers will be asking you why your flushed the day after you've read them.
🔥🔥 Slow burn HOT
Descriptions are sexy in nature but give you a good work up to them.
🔥 Warm and cozy
Could contain descriptive sex scenes but there are either very few or none at all.
I do not believe in giving a review that is demeaning, slandering or just plain bullying an author. If I read a book that I did not enjoy or could not finish then you will simply not see a review about it. I recognize that not everyone share the same opinions and a book I may give a 6 star review to may be a book that another reader did not enjoy and vice versa. If I receive a review request from an author and did not enjoy it I will share my opinion with that author privately.

The Reading Festival originates from the National Jazz Festival, which was conceived by Harold Pendleton (founder of the Marquee Club in London) and was first held at Richmond Athletic Ground in 1961. This festival, in turn, took inspiration from events held in America. Throughout its first decade the festival changed names and moved around sites several times, being held at Windsor Racecourse, Kempton Park and Plumpton, before reaching its permanent home at Reading in 1971.
The line-up settled into a pattern of progressive rock, blues and hard rock during the early and mid 1970s then became the first music festival to embrace punk rock and new wave in the late 1970s, when The Jam, Sham 69, The Stranglers and Penetration were among the headline acts. The festival attempted to provide both traditional rock acts and new punk and new wave bands in the late 1970s and early 1980s, occasionally leading to clashes between the two sets of fans, though the festival gradually became known for focusing on heavy metal and rock acts....(Read more at Wikipedia)
Links to Peel
John Peel attended the predecessor of the Reading Festival, the Sunbury National Jazz and Blues Festival, at Kempton Park Racecourse, in 1968; he previews his appearance there on the Top Gear of 11 August 1968.
The Reading Festival was first held in June 1971. It is not known whether Peel attended, but the advertised line-up included many artists who were featured on Top Gear or Sounds Of The Seventies.
In 1979, Peel was apparently so appalled by The Scorpions set at that year's festival that it contributed to his decision to stop compering the event. [1]

the class room sizes.
The reason I chose Lamar over all other schools is because at the time it was the only school in Texas that offered a major in American Sign Language and it is known to be the best in the nation for it's ASL program.
college is wat you make it out to be you gotta know how to have fun even if its boring as hell.cause it gonna get like that sometimes
I just camed to this school because this the only school that accepted me. Sometimes i think i made a mistake coming here and not thinking all the way through, but i didnt really tell a lot people that. This school is very close to home than the other schools i applied to.
My school has a very well known nursing program but is incredibly competitive to get into.
The unique thing I've learned about my school just form open house is that it's a very open armed school. Everyone is welcoming and very helpful, which bulids up an atmoshpere you wouldn't want to leave. Lamar also offers a huge variety of extra activites to become involed in and the school wants its students to be very successful.
I found that Lamar University is a very one-on-one type of school. You can always find someone willing to help you from freshmans to administrators. Even though Lamar University is a small school, it has a wide variety of people with all different kinds of cultures. This school also lets the students express their religion. Also, as most Universities, this university provides the students to hold festivites on campus. When I looked into other schools I had heard that a lot of them were "party" schools. This university was not only close to home, but a GREAT choice.
Our school is unique in that we have the main Lamar campus and the institute of Technology right across the street. It is a big enough school to have really nice things, but it is small enough that we have good personal relationships with our professors and the class gets to know each other throughout the semester.
It's a smaller campus and the classes are not always large. The professors are friendly and are willing to work with you if you need extra help with your class. The other studens are very friendly and it's not hard to make friends. The classes are fun and challenging. They're not to easy, but they're not to hard either. The best part, is that it's close to home.
It offered Dental Hygeine and that was what I wanted to major in.
Attending Lamar University is unique because I get the education I need. I'am able to have that one on one conversation with my professors and there's help available for anything I need. Since I dont live in Beaumont and I get to stay in the dorms I feel more independent and I get to be focus on my education.
It's small but not too small and the class rooms are a good enviroment to learn in.
It is situated right next to an ExxonMobil plant. They are huge contributors to our engineering college. Also our faculty to student ratio allows professors to engage one-on-one with the students, allowing for unique research oppurtunities much like graduate school.
Compared to most of the colleges and universities I considered was the more "family" feeling that I get from the students who have become my friends and the teachers who live and teach here.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.- Six months after being hired as the head coach of the Indiana men's basketball team, Archie Miller held his first media day as the man in charge of the fate of the program.
Friday afternoon, the Hoosiers will hold their first practice and coach Miller is as optimistic as a new head coach can be, as they embark on a new season.
"In general I am very pleased as we enter practice. The leadership on our team is clearly coming back to the same guys. Our older players have done a great job of taking the reigns of the team and leading by example."
The Hoosiers won't have to wait long once their season begins to find out where they stack up with top tier competition. Indiana will face 4 non-conference preseason nationally ranked opponents and will have two Big Ten match ups within the first two months of the year.
"Early on our non-conference schedule is one that's going to provide a lot of information on what we're going to need to do to be successful in the regular season in Big Ten play," Miller told the media on Thursday.
"We're playing against legit teams and you're not always going to be home. We'll be getting punched a lot."
The 2017-2018 will also feature the return of senior Collin Hartman. The forward sat out all of last year after an injury he suffered in workouts before the season began. Hartman considered leaving the program after last year but in the offseason made the decision to return, and the forward has zero regrets.
"It's something I'll never have the opportunity to do again," he said. "After talking to my mom and people like that, it was good for me to make that decision for myself."
The biggest difference between this season and last season? Everyone is a newbie.
"We're all freshman in the sense that we're all learning a new program," Hartman said. "It's a new offensive scheme and a new defensive scheme. We're all learning together."
The Hoosiers open their season in just 6 weeks.

Morimoto D1S > D2S Igniter
IGNITERS: 2x D1/D3 > D2/D4 Adapters
WARRANTY: 1 Year
EVERYBODY: knows the most desirable projectors are based on D2S bulbs, so just because your vehicle came factory equipped with a boring D1S setup, don't get stuck into thinking it has to remain that way!
IGNITE: Since D1 bulbs have an integrated igniter and D2 do not, these add the missing element to that equation. Their integrated siemens igniters are the same variant used in the XB D2S ballasts and produce over 23KV, which is enough to reliably turn on your D2 bulbs in any climate.
MORIMOTO: Should have offered these years ago, but finally that time has come and not a moment too soon since there are so many vehicles using OEM D1 and D3 projectors these days.
PINNED: Specially for D1S ballasts and bulbs, please note that if you have a D3S based headlight setup, they will still work - but you will also need a set of these cables (since they're universal)
COMPATIBLE: With virtually all OEM D1S/D3S ballasts and D2S or D4S HID bulbs. The input on the igniter is the same as the standard input on the side of D1S bulb you're looking to replace.

of choices and there are many varieties of materials that
go into any dog kennel building.
Kennels made from Heavy Duty Plastics
Dog kennels meant for smaller sized dogs are normally built
with heavy-duty Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) plastic materials.

are tough enough to fight the vagaries of nature.
Due to its sturdiness, the plastic dog kennels are used for
transporting smaller dogs and the dogs also enjoy a safe and
secure transport from one place to another place.
only known disadvantage is that such PVC dog kennels weigh
more and offer lesser visibility at the time of transportation.
Kennels made from Wire Frames
frame dog kennels are best suited for dogs that are big in
size and for dogs that may weigh around 30 pounds and more.
the wire frame type dog kennels are sought after by many people
for one main reason of availability of various sizes to suit
to the varied needs of various people.
can have wire type dog kennels in variety of sizes to suit
to your dog that may weigh around 10 pounds and even up to
giant sized dogs that may weigh around 200 pounds.

kennels is that the assembling of kennel is easy. Any person
can just build the wire type dog kennel by just snapping few
joints and hooks together and your dog kennel is ready in
no time.
The only disadvantage with such wire type dog kennels could
be the rusting nature of the wires used in making the dog
kennels and such rusted and protruding wire may inflict injuries
on your dog.
Kennels made from Chain Links
yet another popular choice is the chain link dog kennels that
offer a very good space for your dog to run around inside
the kennel.
chain linked dog kennels can provide your dog a good protection
and can serve as a safe and secure domain for living.
chain link kennels are also flexible enough for you to add
or provide additional enclosures and make it as a part of
the existing kennel.
your idea is to give a good exercise to your dog then the
chain type dog kennels are the natural choice for you, as
such kennels provide maximum space for your dog to move about.

When I started this blog, I challenged myself to be the most honest version of myself. I challenged myself to live unapologetically. To stop worrying so much about what other people think and be the real me. To stop apologizing for my feelings because they're too intense for some, or not intense enough for others. To embrace the things that excite me and understand the things that unnerve me. For that reason, I feel that one of my first posts should be very personal and honest. In order to truly live by this principle, I feel I should share a recent experience that has inspired this journey.
I had all four of my grandparents until I was twenty-three years old. I lived within a few miles from both for almost all my life. I spent a lot of time with both sets of grandparents. We went out to eat together, I stayed at their homes, we went on trips together. I am very thankful for those times.
When I got older, I realized that as fortunate as I was, someday it was all going to end. Someday I wouldn't have both sets of grandparents. Just as I was, they were only getting older. I hated that I sometimes thought about what would happen when that day came. I had never lost anyone of real significance in my life, so I had nothing to base these feelings on. There was no residual memory of this feeling to convince me to block it out. I had never experienced something like this, and my subconscious was secretly dreading it.
My maternal grandparents moved to our city when I was about eight years old. Before that, they lived an hour and a half away in the small town my mother had grown up in. I'd go visit them for a week or so at a time during school breaks. After they moved closer, I spent a lot more time with them. I went to their house every single day after school and continued to spend most of my breaks at their house. I won't lie to you, I got very bored at their house. My grandparents didn't go out much, so most of our time was spent at their house. We watched a lot of television during that time. However, I also learned a lot of valuable life skills that I still use today. My grandmother taught me how to sew. She gave me scraps of old clothes or sheets and let me poke and weave threads through the fibers until I figured it out. My grandfather taught me how to bake. He was a chef in the military during Vietnam, and still enjoys cooking to this day. I would bake brownies, cakes, cookies, whatever I wanted as long as he knew how to make it (and he usually did.)
When I got older, I didn't see my grandparents as much. Soon, my parents trusted me to stay home alone after school and before I knew it, I had my license and a job. I didn't go to their house every day anymore, and to be honest, I didn't make much of an effort to see them. Don't get me wrong, I still saw them often. We were together every single holiday and throughout the year for dinner at my parent's house. I work in my family's business, and they would stop by my office every so often just to visit.
My grandmother turned seventy-five in June of this year. A few months before her birthday, she sat me and my mom down and told us she wanted to have a big party for her birthday. We laughed and agreed to do what we could to make sure she had the birthday party she wanted. In the months leading up to her party, she called both of us regularly to remind us about it and tell us her ideas. She was so excited about her party! I found it endearing, albeit unusual for her. My grandmother
didn't get very many moments that were specifically 'hers'. She was always very quiet and humble. She didn't want anyone to make a fuss over her. Which is why her excitement about her birthday party was so entertaining. She was determined to have a big party where all of her family was there, and they were celebrating her.
A few weeks later, my grandmother had a heart attack in the middle of the night. She was rushed to the hospital where she stayed recovering for almost a month. She was very sick, more so than anyone really imagined. She was always very proactive with her health. She went to the doctor regularly, tried to eat healthy and stay active. She still got around very well for her age. But the heart attack really set her back. I went and visited her a few days a week in the hospital. Some days were good, some days were bad. The entire experience was a nightmare, to be perfectly honest. At some point during this time, I realized that she might not be coming home. And she realized it too. One day when I visited her, she held my hand and told me how proud of me she was, and that she had always been proud of me. She told me that she loved me, and she looked forward to what life had in store for me. It felt like she was saying goodbye, and I wasn't ready. Fortunately, that was not the last time I saw her. I still had several good days with her, talking and spending time together.
The last time I saw my grandmother I was with my mother. Three generations of women sitting together in one room. It is one of my favorite memories. We talked about our cats (I like to think we are three generations of crazy cat ladies) and laughed about something silly my grandfather did. My grandmother told me how much better she was feeling, and that she was making her own goals to move around more to get better faster. I had so much hope. For the first time in the longest month of my life, I felt like I had my grandmother back.
My grandmother passed away two days later.
Suddenly, I was living in the moment I had been dreading for so long. After twenty-three years of having both sets of grandparents just a stone's throw away, I have now lost one. I didn't know what to do with myself. I still don't. It's been almost three months since she passed away, and I now have an entire new list of bittersweet moments I am silently dreading. I am dreading the holidays this year, knowing that an important person in the background of all those memories will be missing. I am dreading the idea of my grandmother not being at my wedding in March. I am dreading the idea that she won't get to be a great-grandmother to my future children. But the hardest part about all of this, is knowing that no matter what I do, I will never be able to see her again. This is a feeling I have never felt before, and I'm not sure what to do with it. For the first time in my life, I have no control over a situation. Nothing I can do will bring her back. This is the first time I have ever really, truly felt helpless.
Before you start, I already know she's still with me in spirit. I feel her every single day. It's not the same, but it's comforting. And, it doesn't quite make these feelings go away. Grief is a long process, and one I am still learning about. Every day is spent learning how to adapt to this new normal I am living in. There is one thing that truly comforts me, though. I believe my grandmother would have been very interested in my writing. She was always extremely supportive of all things creative. She still has my crayon scribbles hung around her house and hideous pottery I made in high school on display. She was happy with everything her grandchildren did. My grandmother bragged about her grandchildren to anyone who would listen to her. Any time I visited her church, her friends already knew who I was and whatever latest achievement I had made. They knew all about my cousin and my younger brother. She was extremely proud of us and loved us so much she wanted everyone to know. And as I sit here, crying in one of her old sweatshirts, I can't help but smile. These are the moments I will reflect on when I miss her the most. It's the knowledge that one day I will only reflect on her with happy, loving memories.
This is a moment I do not dread, but look forward to.

ezs note: Oh, great. A man sticks his schlong into his wife/girlfriend's vagina, and suddenly they're "experts'. Listen, there's a world of difference between advice from great aunt Gertrude and someone who's actually studied six to eight years. There's also a difference between consent and informed consent. Ohioans, urge your state representative and state senator to vote NO on this stupid bill.

Switch up your chicken routine with this easy and delicious Instant Pot Apricot Chicken. Dinnertime will never be the same!
If you're anything like me, you're probably constantly looking for different ways to use chicken in weeknight meals. This Instant Pot Apricot Chicken is a great way to use up ingredients that you probably have in your pantry, AND get some use out of your trusty Instant Pot!
I'm notorious for buying small appliances and then never using them. Waffle maker? Covered with dust. Electric Griddle? Taking up space in the cabinet. Ice cream machine? Might as well be on a store shelf. The fact that I still use and LOVE my Instant Pot a year after getting it is a miracle and a testament to how useful it really is! I couldn't tell you the last time I used my slow cooker, but I use my Instant Pot almost weekly. This recipe is perfect for infusing tons of flavor into the chicken and the whole family will absolutely love it. If you're new to the Instant Pot game, you should swing into Williams Sonoma and pick up one of their new Instant Pot Starters. I have the lemon-saffron risotto waiting for me to try and I can't wait to bust it out the next time I'm at a loss for what to make for dinner. Maybe I'll even pair it with this chicken!

Playground, is my second Solo Photo Book Month project this year. Back in August I made my Vacation NYC SoFoBoMo book earlier than planned because there was another website that was trying to revive the SoFoBoMo project. I felt that book was rushed, and although I like the photos they are a bit disjointed.
I decided to do another book during the time I had originally planned to do my annual SoFoBoMo project.
This book shows the playground that my girls grew up in. I shot it using a Pentax K1000 SE on Kodak Professional T-MAX 400 film.
Even after only a few months I had forgotten a lot of what Photos for Mac expects you to do when making books. I still really miss the organization and editing features from Aperture.

The Rumour: Arsenal have again been linked with West Ham United defender Winston Reid in the wake of their 2-1 win over the Hammers yesterday afternoon, a game in which the New Zealander gave away a penalty.
Santi Cazorla slithered his way past the 26-year-old only to be brought down by Reid's sneaky attempt to put in a last ditch leg after falling to the ground himself – in what was an unfortunate situation for the West Ham defender.
Arsenal went on to win the tie doubling their lead and holding on despite late persistent aerial attacks. Reid had a solid outing putting in some well time tackles on Gunners star Alexis Sanchez and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and with his contract set to expire in the summer the rumour mill is in full swing.
Reid has so far refused a new deal leading to suggestions he is eyeing a step up to a bigger club, the fact that Alex Song was handed the armband over Reid who usually deputizes in place of absent the club and vice captains Nolan and Noble perhaps suggests the Hammers are planning for life without their best central defender this winter.
According to the Express, the Kiwi international is available for a cut-price £4m.

- [Team News] Wolves v Arsenal – Arteta to drop Lacazette and Tierney
Player Focus:
Winston announced himself on the world stage with a fantastic 2010 World Cup campaign with New Zealand when the then right-back scored an equalizer for the All Whites against Slovakia. He earned his country their first point in a World Cup finals match.
Reid continued making an impression and helped New Zealand end the tournament as the only unbeaten side in the competition with three draws. Consequently he earned a move to West Ham United in the summer of 2010 from Danish outfit Midtjylland.
Often played as right-back early on in his international and club career, his height and physicality helped to mould him into a promising centre back. A position he's made his own and has been growing in consistency over the years. Reid is very strong in the air, in the tackle and has versatility in his locker as he's able to slip into the right of the defence. The central defender earned the 'Hammer of the Year' gong in 2013 for his outstanding performances in the 2012/13 season.
So far this campaign in 18 appearances, Reid has a 80% pass completion average compared to 89% for both Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker. He has one goal to his name similarly to Koscielny, but has had nine attempts on goal which is equal to Mertesacker in as many appearances.
Reid has won 20 tackles this campaign, far superior to Mertesacker with nine, however the German edges him out with 40 interceptions to 31. Impressively the New Zealand captain has won 65% of his aerial duels, roughly on par with Mertesacker's 66%.
Check out the Squawka comparison matrix.
Should we Buy?
Being part Kiwi myself, seeing the national team hero join the Gunners is an exciting prospect. It would be a huge move for him and he could become the first New Zealander to ever play Champions League football.
Reid is in his prime and has proven to be a capable Premier League regular. He is someone who would be able to slot straight in when necessary and is a potential successor for Mertesacker who is into his 30's.
The only worry is he is not necessarily 'world class'. Not the cream of the crop, but with the defensive department badly needing some reinforcements a cut-price deal for Reid is not a bad option at all. He could be willing to be a third choice centre back unlike some such as Mats Hummels who not only would command a huge transfer fee and is unlikely to want to leave this winter, but is someone who will almost certainly break the 'Mertscielny' partnership. Nothing like competition though.
This is perhaps the most realistic option however and is far more preferable than the Squillaci-esk rumour of St Etienne captain Loic Perrin.
Rumour Rater: 3/5
1 – Never going to happen
2 – Unlikely
3 – Could be possible
4 – Likely
5 – Done deal
