Jackson Personal Injury Attorneys

Catastrophic Personal Injury Lawyer

Since he graduated from law school, Rocky Wilkins has established a reputation as a leader in litigation arising from major catastrophes. In 2000, at the age of 27, he became the youngest partner of Pritchard Law Firm, PLLC. In just three years, Rocky and the Pritchard Law Firm recovered millions of dollars for clients injured in 18-wheeler accidents, pharmaceutical cases, insurance fraud cases and negligent security cases.

He started his own firm in Jackson, Mississippi, in 2003. The firm focuses on personal injury, car wrecks, 18-wheeler accidents, negligent security cases and wrongful death settlements.

Representing The Injured Individuals and Families of Mississippi

Rocky has tried several high-profile cases, including Belle v. Foremost Insurance Company in October 2002, when he helped recover a $300,000 jury verdict. In 2003, Wilkins was lead trial counsel in Virgie Hardy v. Bayer Corporation and Billy Ray Slaughter v. Bayer Corporation, which were the second and third Baycol cases tried in the nation. Wilkins was actively involved in litigation involving the May 16, 2002, Rouse Polymerics explosion in Vicksburg, Mississippi, that killed five innocent people. He also won acquittals for his clients in State v. Michael Bridges and U.S. v. Gerrick Watson.

Regardless of the status of the case, Rocky is an attorney who gives all his clients his personal attention. "With my hands-on experience in taking cases to trial, I personally see my clients' lawsuits through from start to finish," said Wilkins.

"Ole Miss" Graduate

Wilkins graduated from the University of Mississippi School of Law in 1999. He practiced product liability law with Daniel, Coker, Horton & Bell in Jackson. Rocky is also the co-host of "Law Call" on WLBT-TV and has appeared on "Court TV" on CNN.

The Best and Worst Movies of 2008

It was murder this year for filmmakers to get all mavericky. The economy squeezed our wallets and made us junkies for escapism. That yapping noise at the multiplex was more likely a Beverly Hills Chihuahua than audiences grappling with issues. But a few movies — some flying on a fat budget (The Dark Knight), some by the seat of their pants (Slumdog Millionaire) — raised hell and our dulled consciousness. Look, I loved Iron Man too, but my top-10 list takes it cue from our president-elect and honors audacity, not just of hope but of original thought and untamed ambition.

1. Milk Directed by Gus Van Sant: Here's just the firestarter we need to kick off the Obama years. Milk is that rarest of free birds: a true political film. It finds its bristling purpose in humanity, not ideology. Sean Penn tops even himself for transformative acting as Harvey Milk, the gay social activist who fought for civil rights in San Francisco until he was assassinated in 1978. The recent victory in California for Proposition 8, banning gay marriage, shows that Harvey's fight is far from over. Is there a more artful, impassioned, shockingly pertinent movie around this year? I don't think so. Thrillingly directed by the invaluable, underrated Gus Van Sant from an original, Oscar-worthy script by Dustin Lance Black, Milk raises the bar on what a film biography can do. You can feel Harvey's spirit alive in it.

2. Slumdog Millionaire Directed by Danny Boyle: Movie love fills every frame of this rowdy beauty from director Danny Boyle. An illiterate slum kid (Dev Patel) from India goes on the local TV version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire not to win rupees but to find his lost sweetheart. This love story laced with poverty, violence and sexual abuse somehow manages to offer nonstop cinematic excitement. Boyle makes Mumbai (the scene of recent terrorist attacks) a symbol of teeming life against the invading darkness. Slumdog defies glib comparisons — there's simply nothing anywhere like it.

3. The Dark Knight Directed by Christopher Nolan: Don't kid yourself that staggering visuals and the brilliance of the late Heath Ledger as the Joker are this comic-book film's only claims to resonance. Director Christopher Nolan turns his follow-up to Batman Begins (with Christian Bale back as the Caped Crusader) into a haunting world of darkness all too recognizable as our own. Read it as a parable of the Bush-Cheney vigilantism post-9/11, and you get a Batman movie (second only to Titanic in all-time box-office grosses) that offers enough moral relativism to give you knightmares.

4. Frost/Nixon Directed by Ron Howard: "When the president does it, that means it's not illegal." That statement, uttered by disgraced former President Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) to TV interviewer David Frost (Michael Sheen) in 1977, should quiet fears that the film version of Peter Morgan's play is musty history. Even better, director Ron Howard makes lively, provocative business of how public figures test their hubris before a camera. Howard hooks them and lets us watch them wiggle. All the actors excel, but Langella is transcendent, a lion roaring against a lonely winter.

5. WALL-E Directed by Andrew Stanton: Given my jones for audacity and darkness in the year's best movies, what's this G-rated animated thing from Pixar doing in the top five? I'll tell you. The story of tiny robot WALL-E, scooting around a planet we humans have trashed, speaks volumes. The film's chastening sadness cuts deep. And I'll take the romance between WALL-E and iPod lookalike EVE iver the vampire lust in Twilight. Director Andrew Stanton and his crew have created a visionary masterpiece.

6. Revolutionary Road Directed by Sam Mendes: Not since Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? has a portrait of a marriage been this scalding and unforgiving. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet are brilliant under the canny, caring direction of Sam Mendes.

7. The Visitor Directed by Tom McCarthy: The screwed-up politics of illegal immigration are potently skewered by writer-director Tom McCarthy and by a career performance from Richard Jenkins as a shy, 60-ish college prof finding a life outside himself.

8. Doubt Directed by John Patrick Shanley: A nun (Meryl Streep) and a priest  (Philip Seymour Hoffman) battle over a charge of pedophilia. But the war raging in John Patrick Shanley's stinging film of his play is about unreasonable certainty. How's that for timely?

9. Rachel Getting Married Directed by Jonathan Demme: Director Jonathan Demme, screenwriter Jenny Lumet and a sensational Anne Hathaway, as an emotional time bomb home from rehab for her sister's wedding, dig deep into the joy and pain of being part of a family.

10. Man on Wire Directed by James Marsh: In 1974, when Harvey Milk was walking his own tightrope, daredevil Frenchman Philippe Petit defied law and gravity to wire-walk from one World Trade Center tower to another. James Marsh's film isn't just the documentary of the year, it's a salute to human endeavor. Boy, do we need it now.

BEST OF THE REST Cheers to 10 more of the year's risk-takers: Steven Soderbergh's Che, with Benicio Del Toro as a rebel force of nature; Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler, with a superlative Mickey Rourke; Courtney Hunt's Frozen River, with Melissa Leo redefining Mother Courage; Mike Leigh's Happy-Go-Lucky, with a heartbreaking Sally Hawkins; Joel and Ethan Coen's Burn After Reading, with the Coens' tart wit; Ed Harris' Appaloosa, with its new take on the Old West; Philippe Claudel's I've Loved You So Long, with Kristin Scott Thomas' lesson in the art of acting; Lance Hammer's Ballast, the year's best debut film; and Clint Eastwood's Changeling and Gran Torino, two works from a master of the game.

Quantum of Solace: What's the use of picking sucky movies? It's the ones that fall short of real potential that hurt. And to see Daniel Craig's hard-case 007 follow hottie Casino Royale with this nottie — ouch!

Australia: Baz Luhrmann's epic poem to his homeland shoots for the stars. No go.

Twilight: Twihards devour the book and keep feeding on the movie's take on vamp love. But the dark magic is just not there. RIGHTEOUS KILL Robert De Niro and Al Pacino unite for the second time in their careers, and this is what they come up with?

Speed Racer: No movie this year looked more gorgeous on the road to nowhere.

Miracle at St. Anna: Spike Lee's epic tribute to black solders in World War II had huge ambitions it kept stumbling over.

The Happening: Despite flashes of M. Night Shyamalan's gifts, it never happened.

Indiana Jones 4: Spielberg couldn't face facts: The third time was the charm.

Cloverfield: A digital revolution in monster-mashing? No, just shaky hype.

W.: Josh Brolin was great as Dubya, but Oliver Stone settled for a TV-movie muddle.

An Ideal Husband

  • An Ideal Husband
  • Julianne Moore, Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver
  • Directed by Oliver Parker

As noted, most summer comedies are as rude as a fart. So it's a relief to find the gentlefolk at Miramax providing an elegantly funny film version of Oscar Wilde's play about British high jinks in high places. An Ideal Husband opened onstage in 1895, the same year that the bisexual Wilde was imprisoned on charges of gross indecency. How clever of Wilde, then, to write his alter ego into the play in the person of Lord Arthur Goring, an acerbically witty scamp whose knack for getting himself into scandalous fixes is rivaled only by his skill at getting other people out of theirs. The role is an ideal fit for Rupert Everett, who gives every barb its comic due ("To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance") without losing that surprising, touching side of Lord Arthur as the outsider who battles intolerance ("Life cannot be lived without much charity, cannot be understood without much charity"). Everett, who gives the performance of his career, is perfection.

The movie itself, adapted for the screen and directed by Oliver Parker (his 1995 film of Othello, with Laurence Fishburne and Kenneth Branagh, was a botch job), lacks Everett's ease. Parker has pared down the play and made a few additions of his own, but he can't disguise the frontload of plot exposition. Get your pencils: Lord Arthur's friend, the politically ambitious Sir Robert Chiltern (Jeremy Northam), is being blackmailed by the flirtatious Mrs. Cheveley (Julianne Moore), who has proof that he once sold Cabinet secrets about the Suez Canal. Sir Robert is horrified, not merely because of his career but because his wife, Lady Chiltern (Cate Blanchett), is a figure of strict rectitude who cannot tolerate character flaws, especially in her ideal husband. Both Chilterns turn to Lord Arthur to untie their knotty problems, while Mabel Chiltern (Minnie Driver), Sir Robert's sister, eyes Lord Arthur as potential husband material for herself.

Phew! What shakes the dust off this period piece is the vibrant acting. Northam, on a roll with his superb turn in The Winslow Boy and a contemporary change of pace in the upcoming Happy, Texas, finds the bruised feelings in his flawed hero. Blanchett (Elizabeth) manages the neat trick of making virtue seem enticing. Driver is flighty fun in her scenes with Everett. And Moore (Boogie Nights), using seductive guile and an impeccable British accent, creates a hissable-kissable villain. As these lovers and liars sneak around the corridors of politics and sex — shades of the White House and Whitewater — Wilde proves that even a century after his death, he can still throw a hell of a party.

Fricke's Picks: James Blackshaw

In 1999, James Blackshaw was a teenage guitarist from the London suburbs, playing in indie-rock bands. Then a friend played him The Dance of Death and Other Plantation Favorites, a mid-Sixties album of solo acoustic fingerpicking by the iconic American guitarist John Fahey. "I remember not quite understanding it," Blackshaw says now of that record, a seminal document of Fahey's orchestral technique and compositional fusion of rugged Delta blues, Indian-raga modes and pioneer spirituals. But Blackshaw was intrigued enough to attend Fahey's London concert that year (the latter died in 2001) and teach himself how to fingerpick and play in alternate tunings by studying Fahey's recordings and American folk songs like Elizabeth Cotten's "Freight Train." "I never got on that well in bands," Blackshaw admits, laughing. "What attracted me to Fahey's music was that it was solitary — very austere but very emotional."

Nearly a decade later, Blackshaw, 26, is one of the best and most original instrumentalists in the new, acoustic renaissance, with a series of luminous solo recordings on which he enriches the full-bodied ring and drone of his twelve-string arpeggios with the gentle, symphonic blush of tamboura, harmonium and prayer-circle drumming. Compared to the intricately scored bloom of Blackshaw's 2007 album, The Cloud of Unknowing (Tompkins Square), his early small-pressing releases (just reissued by Tompkins Square) are learning steps, lush and ambitious in increments. Celeste, first issued in 2004 in a microrun of 80 CD-Rs, is deceptive simplicity: a two-part half-hour suite of tumbling, repetitive motifs that mutate and expand like rippling circles of pond water. Lost Prayers and Motionless Dances, also from 2004, is a single piece, a lusty serenade that ends in a soft, hissing sea of radio static, echoing Fahey's own experiments with folk rapture and raw-sound portraiture. Blackshaw's 2005 album, Sunshrine, is his first mature triumph, an airy blend of overlapping six- and twelve-string figures, chapel-like keyboards and monastic percussion.

Blackshaw is not, by nature, an improviser. "The vast majority of my music is composed," he says, noting that his next album, Litany of Echoes, to be released in June, has "more interplay with strings and piano. The repetition and drone are there, but there is more variation within the songs. I'm not the New Weird America," he insists, using a popular shorthand name for the current acid-folk revival. "For a start, I'm British. Maybe I'm the New Weird England."

Learning from projects – Jerry points the way ahead

While browsing the net I came across Jerry Madden who retired from NASA in 1995 as Associate Director of Flight Projects at Goddard Space Flight Centre. He had a 37-year career and was considered by many of his peers to be one of NASA’s “premiere” Project Managers. Jerry collected over 100 lessons from project management. The actual list grew to 128 but the name “100 Lessons Learned for Project Managers” still survives.

I thought I would highlight a few here:

 Never ask management to make a decision that you can make. Assume you have the authority to make decisions unless you know there is a document that states unequivocally that you cannot.

 Never make excuses; instead, present plans of actions to be taken.

 Management principles are still the same. It is just the tools that have changed. You still should find the right people to do the work and get out of the way so they can do it.

 A working meeting has about six people attending. Meetings larger than this are for information transfer.

 Running does not take the place of thinking. For yourself, you must take time to smell the roses. For your work, you must take time to understand the consequences of your actions.

 Never assume someone knows something or has done something unless you have asked them. Even the obvious is overlooked or ignored on occasion – especially in a high-stress activity.

 Don’t assume you know why senior management has done something. If you feel you need to know, ask.  You get some amazing answers that will dumbfound you.

 Projects require teamwork to succeed. Remember most teams have a coach and not a boss, but the coach still has to call some of the plays.

 The project manager who is the smartest man on his project has done a lousy job of recruitment.

Not all of the lessons will apply to you or your company however I do I like the tone and common sense within them.

I have written before about lessons learnt from projects. Share these around and maybe, just maybe a few projects will be delivered more effectively.

All 128 lessons can be found here.

  1. Ron,
    Glad you found the NASA PM guide. One of the better books in print today is Dr. James T. Brown The Handbook of Program Management, McGraw Hill, 2007. Dr. Brown is a retired Program Manager and provides hands on processes for field.

  2. Ron says:

    Hi Glen. Thanks for the recommendation. It’s a book that looks like it needs to be read. Appreciate you telling everyone.

Pump Up the Jams

Music that’ll make you move.

beam me up scottyBeam Me Up Scotty
Nicki Minaj
2009, Trapaholics

Beam Me Up Scotty is the last mixtape Nicki Minaj released before she signed to a major label. It’s got early hits like “Best I Ever Had” and “I Get Crazy” as well as some of her most biting, incisive rapping—the kind of music that makes you explode with power by proxy. Tracks like “Go Hard” and “Mind on My Money” showcase Nicki’s ability to turn a pop hook into a motivational anthem. I still listen to them on the treadmill—who needs a personal trainer when Nicki Minaj is your life coach, you know? Beam Me Up Scotty also includes “Itty Bitty Piggy,” one of the best songs Nicki’s ever made. It established her as a venomous, unparalleled rapper while showing she wouldn’t hide her femininity in order to get over (as exemplified in the lyrics “Flow so sick I need a healer—[where the] fuck is my M.A.C. concealer?”). —Julianne

SiaWe Are Born
2010, Monkey Puzzle

This album reminds me that when shit’s out of whack, I should do something about it. Its assertive dance tracks and sing-a-longs have a way of coaxing me into jamming and reflecting on my life at the same time. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by emotions, “Cloud” urges you to claim them and express them to their fullest. If someone is killing your good vibes, “Big Girl, Little Girl” tells you to call them out. Listening to We Are Born is like having someone who knows me well encourage me to be honest with myself about what I want from life. Just singing my heart out to every lyric of this album is a badass release in itself. —Chanel

haxel princessHaxel Princess
Cherry Glazerr
2014, Burger Records

I have never, while speeding down a highway in a convertible, stood up—arms stretched out, wind hitting my face—to get a better look at a perfectly blue, cloud-free sky, but I imagine that feeling would be like the one I have when I listen to Haxel Princess, and it is pure, unadulterated bliss. The songs are pretty but not passive, soothing but not quiet. They have a sense of innocence and discovery—due partly to a poppy garage sound that wouldn’t be out of place on an episode of Happy Days. Haxel Princess is the soundtrack for summer adventures like falling in love, eating barbecue at the beach, and doing doughnuts in a car in an abandoned parking lot with your friends. —Laia

Flashdance.soundtrackFlashdance: Original Soundtrack From the Motion Picture
Various artists
1983, Casablanca

If there are two things I hold near and dear to my li’l heart, they are the ’80s and camp. Luckily, the two often go hand in hand, and this is especially true when it comes to the 1983 movie Flashdance. The film is about an 18-year-old welder, Alex, who moonlights as an exotic dancer while working toward her dream of becoming a professional ballerina, and it has a deliciously cheesy soundtrack to fit its far-fetched plot. You may have heard the stupidly catchy track “Maniac” by Michael Sembello, which accompanies the scene in which Alex practices for her Big Audition at a Big Dance studi. Giorgio Moroder, the famous Italian synth-disco master, co-wrote the film’s opening song, “What a Feeling,” which is a pep talk of a tune that would be appropriate in a Broadway musical (there actually is a Flashdance musical that features this very song). There are many other memorable songs, including ones by Donna Summer and Kim Carnes. The entire soundtrack has all the hyperbolic drama of the film and is a big, wonderful dose of corniness. —Hazel

LadytronWitching Hour
2005, Island Records

Jams like “Sugar” and “Weekend,” from Ladytron’s slick electro-synth record Witching Hour, are the ultimate in Cool Goth Girl party material. (If you don’t know what I mean by Cool Goth Girl, google photos of Ladytron’s members, Mira Aroyo and Helen Marnie.) When I discovered their music at the age of 18, when I was a frequent habitué of goth dance clubs, I felt like I’d stumbled upon some of sort of secret–but I didn’t want to keep it to myself. I wanted everyone to listen and dance toWitching Hour, to really GET it and feel it in their souls. I used to imagine myself dancing to the sexy, dominating “Destroy Everything You Touch” under the club’s dizzying lights. Each week, I wrote it on the DJ’s request clipboard, hopeful that if I just kept requesting the same song over and over, it would eventually be played and the crowd’s collective mind would be BLOWN. It never happened. Instead, I listened to it alone in my room and pretended that everyone else was absorbing its awesomeness along with me. I still put it on when I want to get pumped up for a night out. —Meagan

Kanye West
2007, Roc-A-Fella/Def Jam

I had a major awakening of the senses the first time I listened to Graduation. The tracks’ titles alone—“Stronger,” “Good Life,” and “The Glory,” to name a few—are enough to give me courage. But Kanye’s lyrics pinpoint feelings I’ve had, such as self-doubt and fear of things like intimacy, and turns them into catalysts for doing whatever the fuck I have to do to succeed. In “Champion,” Kanye spits, “They used to feel invisible—now they know they invincible,” which resonated with me because in high school I thought that I was just another basic, forgettable face. Kanye’s words helped me realize that I need to be my own advocate, to really step it up and be known. And the chant-like phrase “La, la, la, la, wait till I get my money right” (from “Can’t Tell Me Nothing”) reminds me that if I just do me and go for what I want, then who can really get in my way? I listen to Graduation any time a major change or decision comes up, to help me move into the next phase of life with more adrenaline and confidence than ever before. —Chanel

slothrustOf Course You Do
2014, Ba Da Bing Records

Slothrust’s Of Course You Do is what they might have called “alternative” back in the day, but it’s just good rock music, PERIOD, and this is already my record of the year. There are little bits of grunge melodies here and there, and scuzzy guitars that make me think of dimly lit basements, perhaps with beer bottles scattered around. Bouncing bass lines alternately hide behind a wall of guitar distortion and punctuate singer Leah Wellbaum’s vocals, which are what immediately made me fall in love with this band. Her voice is kinda deep, and she sing-talks. She sounds like the coolest girl in school. Her lyrics are personal and funny and make me feel like I’m not the only person in the world having weird emotions. In “Cubicle,” when Leah sings, “I try my best to hide that I care,” I’m like, YES. And when she follows it with “But you got me wrong, yeah you got me wrong, you got me wrong,” I’m like, NO. WAIT: YES! The last song on the record, “Beowulf,” which is about the epic Old English poem that you no doubt studied (or will study) in school, is the best, funniest one because of lyrics like “Beowulf was one sick puppy.” (You should DEF play it for your English teacher because she/he will love it, and you’ll probs get some bonus points or something.) But there are no bad songs here, nothing to skip over. You’ll want to sing this whole record at the top of your lungs. You need it in your life. —Laia

miss-little-havanaMiss Little Havana
Gloria Estefan
2011, Crescent Moon/Verve Forecast

I still can’t listen to “Wepa,” the first single from this album, without jumping up and down like someone just offered me candy. “Wepa” is Puerto Rican slang for, essentially, “Hell yeah!”—aka the kind of thing you yell when you’re really having fun at a party or on the dance floor. The rest of the album, which was mostly produced by Pharrell, is just as exuberant. It takes the longtime Queen of Latin Pop back to her awesome dance roots, except this time with Pharrellian interpretations of freestyle, merengue, Latin house, and salsa sounds. The whole album is bound to make you happy, but I guarantee you’ll find yourself cycling back to “Wepa” again and again. —Julianne

CherThe Very Best of Cher
2003, Warner Bros.

Since I was in grade school, Cher has been almost like a member of my family and my inner circle. Her characters in movies like Moonstruck and Mermaids were wise figures who lifted everyone up, and her music has always made us dance. It’s difficult to recommend just one album of hers, but The Very Best of Cher is a perfect collection to start with. It goes from her folky days with Sonny (“I Got You Babe”) and then takes you through her solo forays into disco, rock, pop, and Eurodance (who can resist “Believe“?!). She is a master of transformation—but it’s always on her terms, and she is always perfectly herself. She’s an example of what it means to be a strong, standout, independent woman who does her own thing, no matter what everyone else happens to be doing in any particular decade. Every time I listen to a song like “Strong Enough,” I feel like Cher is lifting up my chin and saying, “SOAR, LITTLE WOMAN…THIS IS YOUR TIME.” —Brittany

2007, XL/Interscope

2013, N.E.E.T./Interscope

The first time I heard Kala, I was ecstatic. Finally there was someone who looked like me and spoke my language who was also screaming at the top of her lungs about not needing to be accepted by anyone else in order to love herself. Songs like “Paper Planes” have become personal anthems for a lot of people (including minority girls like me) because they’re all about taking action and repping who you are and where you’re from. In “World Town,” she sings, “Every wall you build, I’ll knock it down to the floor.” It’s motivating and empowering and makes me glad to be who I am. Her fourth album, Matangi, is powerful, witty, and ferocious—just like the Hindu goddess of the same name. It references antiquity while staying modern: Some tracks sample age-old Hindu chants and prayers, but Maya keeps it current, like when she seamlessly includes the Apple Photo Booth camera-shutter sound in the song “Come Walk With Me.” She also asserts her cultural relevance by responding to Drake’s YOLO with the song “Y.A.L.A.,” which stands for “you always live again”—referencing the idea of reincarnation, which is a pillar of Hinduism and other South Asian religions. M.I.A. is proud of her Sri Lankan roots, and she’s confident that she’ll find success no matter what. Matangi is filled with celebratory jams like “Only 1 U,” “Warriors,” and “Bad Girls” that hype you up and make you feel ready to face any problem head on. —Shriya

Stars DanceStars Dance
Selena Gomez
2013, Hollywood Records

This album didn’t get a ton of attention when it came out in 2013 because it was the same year Miley Cyrus became Nu Miley. That’s unfortunate, because Stars Dance is so good. Sure, Selena channels all sorts of other pop stars, like Ellie Goulding in “Stars Dance,” Rihanna in “Come & Get It,” and Gwen Stefani in “Birthday,” but those songs are so charming that I can’t really be mad—especially not at “Birthday,” because the video dropped on Selena’s actual 21st birthday and the lyrics feature the hilarious/awesome refrain “JAZZ IT UP!” On a personal level, I have issues with Selena’s occasional cultural appropriation (e.g., her decision to wear a bindi during performances of “Come & Get It”), but her music gets me pumped nevertheless. It could be because it’s the perfect blend of great vocals, pop hooks, and slight cheesiness (see: the dramatic dubstep in the UBER-SERIOUS video for the terrific song “Slow Down”). —Julianne

the donnasThe Donnas Turn 21
The Donnas
2001, Lookout!

The Donnas play good-time pop-punk that sounds kinda like the Ramones with the swagger of ’70s classic rock. The songs on Turn 21 are purely mood-lifting and confidence-boosting. They’re all about cutting loose and unapologetically getting your kicks. They call out the guys who have crushes on the band (e.g., “You’ve Got a Crush on Me”) and then straight-up ask, “Do You Want to Hit It?” They invite boys over to make out in “Midnite Snack” (because really, nothing gets you in the mood like junk food). They collect boys’ underwear in “40 Boys in 40 Nights”—my favorite song on the album. They even make out, smoke a bowl, and drink beer with the cop that pulls them over in “Police Blitz”! If you’re looking for action this summer, make the Donnas your sidekicks. —Stephanie

Hearts RevolutionRide or Die
2014, Owsla

Ride or Die is a call to arms, full of dance-y, fun electro punk with lyrics about doing your part to fix the world. In “Brillianteen,” Leyla Safai sings, “We’d better leave this place better than we found it, or our kids will feel the fate—there’s no doubt about it.” The album critiques societal problems like misogyny and our overall obsession with fame, but HEARTSREVOLUTION aren’t complaining. Instead, they want people to band together and take action. On the title track, Leyla sings, “The heart that beats as one is stronger than the two, come on!” Ride or Die is the perfect motivational album, whether you want to help change the world or run one more lap around the track. —Shriya

fall out boyInfinity on High
Fall Out Boy
2007, Island

If Fall Out Boy is the belligerent beat of my heart, Infinity on High is the rhythm it keeps. Every time I am faced with difficulty, I take out my phone and listen to “I’ve Got All This Ringing in My Ears and None on My Fingers.” While I’ve been a fan of FOB ever since their baby steps in 2003 (it’s hard to believe I’ve been listening to one band for more than half my life, but there it is), this particular album is my favorite, because it’s a bit bitter but still sharp and lethally optimistic about the end, the future, and how those things intersect. It takes those often annoyingly pious discussions about “being real” and “selling out” and dances with them until everyone involved is dizzy. “A penny for your thoughts, but a dollar for your insides, or a fortune for your disaster. I’m just a painter, and I’m drawing a blank”: These lyrics from “Don’t You Know Who I Think I Am?” are ones to mutter under your breath when you are tired of proving yourself to everyone, including yourself. But my favorite song, the one that I scream late at night when I’m pushing through a million projects I shouldn’t have said yes to, is “Fame < Infamy." Its rage is sharp and fun and makes you jump and wiggle your fingers. Infinity on High doesn’t keep me grounded, it turns my motivation into a sword, a rocket, an arrow, and I can’t stop doing what I need to do until the album stops. And then? I press play and start over again. —Arabelle

The Dirty Nil
2014, self-released

The Dirty Nil is one of those bands that I came across by complete accident, at a local show. (They are from Hamilton, Ontario, and I’m nearby in Toronto, but pretty much everyone in Canada knows one another—sort of). I went in thinking, This isn’t really going to be my type of music, but my friends are here and I have nothing better to do, so sure, why not, but I ended up having a party of a time. I couldn’t help it—the band’s sound was just too dang infectious. When I got home, I downloaded their entire discography, which was really easy to do, because they only have about a dozen songs on their Bandcamp page. Their earliest songs are pure, good-natured rock & roll, but then every release gets slightly faster and more frantic, culminating with their most recent EP, Smite. The whole thing is five songs and 11 minutes long, with vocals that can be melodic or howling, set against frenetic, uptempo guitars. I think “Wrestle Yü to Hüsker Dü” (good song, great name) should be on the soundtrack to every teen movie released in the next year, which is a compliment of the highest order. —Anna F.

Destiny’s Child
2005, Columbia

Destiny’s Child’s #1’s is a musical timeline that brings me fond memories while reminding me how far I’ve come. Always a supporter of other creative #GRITS (it stands for “girls raised in the South”), I filled my mixtapes with their hits to get me through some of my most fun and terrifyingly transitional years. Beyoncé and company provided upbeat harmonies, infectious energy, and sisterly empowerment to off-campus weekend joyrides with pals from boarding school, my first frat party (where I danced to “Jumpin’, Jumpin’”), and my first breakup, when I played “Survivor” on repeat for three months. Later, as I navigated body image issues and the big, bad world of work, their anthems “Bootylicious,” “Independent Women,” and “Bills, Bills, Bills” made it seem like they were growing up with me, and told me that I was not alone. —Jamia

Technotronic_Pump_Up_The_JamPump Up the Jam: The Album
1989, SBK/EMI Records

Eurodance and house hits from the late ’80s to the mid-’90s are timeless tunes to sweat to, whether you’re working out or trying to finish a paper at 3 AM (I’m more likely to be doing the latter). One of my favorite house albums from that time is Technotronic’s Pump Up the Jam. What makes the Belgian group’s brand of dance music so fun is that it’s completely literal. There’s their famous “Move This,” an almost hypnotic synth-pop track that demands you that “shake that body”—and then you do! Then there’s the title track, which treats the dance floor like the beckoning party that it is. Technotronic’s themes may be repetitive (“move” basically sums it up), but when you’re in the zone, you need recognizable reassurances, not complicated lyrical poetry. Does this record deserve more than novelty status? Totally. Now, come on and groove to this. —Hazel

i'm not deadI’m Not Dead
2006, LaFace/Zomba

Pink is famous for making music that gets parties started, and I’m Not Dead is no exception. I love “U + Ur Hand” for its message to gross dudes who harass women when they’re out having a good time: “I’m not here for your entertainment.” But a lot of this album is also introspective—Pink sings about finding strength within and fighting your way back to top form. I can’t count how many times I’ve used the song “I’m Not Dead” to pull myself out of a funk. I should probably get the line “I’m not scared, just changing” tattooed somewhere. —Stephanie ♦

    Didn’t know Cherry Glazerr came out with an album so I’m so glad I saw this! Also props for Kala being on here, that was the first album I heard that made me think.

  • tessj95 June 6th, 2014 1:57 AM

    Cherry Glazerr, MIA, Kanye, this list is perfect. KALA in particular has helped me through some horrible moments in my life so i’m so glad it’s on here

  • itssabine June 6th, 2014 4:00 AM

    This list is perfect! We did so many choreographies on Sia songs in my dance class this year and it made me fall in love with her music.
    I sort of freaked when I saw Infinity On High was on here. That album was what made me obsessed with Fall Out Boy and I’ve listened to it for an unhealthy amount of times. I’m pretty sure I’ve developed some sort of spiritual connection with that album ;)

  • thebrownette June 6th, 2014 8:35 AM

    ARABELLE! Finally, someone who loves “I’ve Got All This Ringing…” Folie a Deux is my favorite album overall, but IOH is so killer.

  • tiredyawnsforfawns June 6th, 2014 5:18 PM

    had to suppress a scream of surprise/delight when i saw infinity on high on the list- i love fall out boy way too much for my own good
    arabelle, you described the overall attitude of the album perfectly!! the energy of fame < infamy never feels tired to me, even after that one time when i listened to it at least twice a day for a month straight

  • flocha June 7th, 2014 3:28 PM

    FALL OUT BOY OMG that album was the soundtrack to my early teenage years. Every time I listen to it I feel like an angsty twelve year old again.

  • obeykid June 7th, 2014 6:13 PM

    These are really good picks!

    From Selena’s album I would highlight ‘Love Will Remember’. Seriously, that album is so underrated…

  • emeraldruby June 9th, 2014 12:51 AM

    YES! We Are Born is one of my faves :)

  • bandsarelife June 23rd, 2014 11:14 AM

    OMG MY BAES FALL OUT BOY! Infinity on High is the album that got me obsessed and it’s been through some tough times with me.

  • Jenoris July 13th, 2014 12:48 AM

    Ugh Arabelle I feel you SO HARD with the Fall Out Boy. Remember that point in time when everyone was all like “ugh Infinity on High is their worst album.” I remember sitting behind my laptop screen like “Are you okay buddy? You’re very mistaken and I am CONCERNED.”
    To this day I still can’t help but lose it every single time Thriller or Bang the Doldrums comes on.

Those Places Thursday: Sigford Home on Matney Way, circa 1919 to 1923

Outside the house on Matney Way, circa 1924
Uncle David Keyes, Gail Sigford, Ruth Sigford
Although I grew up less than a half mile from the house on Matney Way, I never knew that my mother, Ruth,  and my aunt Gail were born in that house.  In fact,  I didn't even know they lived there until I was an adult.  Years later when one my mother's twin sisters, Loise, talked about the place on Matney Way, she was very disparaging about the house and land. She would almost spit out the words,  "Just an old shack on an alkali flat."   My mother's feelings of reticence about this house were undoubtedly influenced by her sister who was 14 years older.

The house on Matney Road burned to the ground in about 1923;  my mother was just 4 years old at the time. Nearly seventy years later, she shared her memories of that old house :

"The house on Matney Way burned to the ground, probably in late summer  or early autmn of 1923, when Gail [her younger sister] was a baby, well perhaps more of a toddler.  I remember my mother carrying a baby out of the house in her arms while the house was burning.  We lost almost everything in this fire.  My mother saved her round topped trunk where she kept all of her treasures.  No one was died in the fire and we still had our cows, car, buggy and Nell [the horse].  That was the only house that my parents ever owned."

Even though I never saw this house, it looms large in my memory for many of the treasured family pictures of my mother's family were taken when they lived there.

  1. How sad the house burned. I'm glad she saved her treasures, though, and that no one was hurt. I love your pictures!

  2. Astrid, Thanks for stopping by and reading. I really love the pictures that were taken at that "old shack in the alkali flat."

  3. Love the photos Joan, that last one is particularly lovely, and as always, your story, wonderfully written.

  4. I love the photos also! I think the first one is my favorite, it isn't a posed photo. Love your blog Joan! Thank you for commenting on my blog too. As a crafter we can relate to homemade items!

Pioneer Ox Driver Carves Out Memories

Bixby Pioneer, Will Archer

Pioneer Bixbian, Will Archer, exhibits one of his many wood carvings, 10-7-1965.
The Bixby Bulletin Collection · ID: BB-10-07-Archer, Bixby Historical Society, Bixby OK

Thursday, October 7, 1965, Bixby OK

A pioneer Bixbian lonely for the early days carved out a memory in wood. Will Archer patiently whittled a log wagon pulled by a team of oxen. He drove such a team, to plow and to haul, when he was a boy.

"I wanted to make something to remind me of my early days," he explained."

The wagon is complete even to the bark. The driver is holding the "bull whip used to drive the team. No lines are used in driving an ox team," Archer explained. A well trained team of oxen will respond to the commands of their driver with only a whip.

Archer's sister, Mrs. Laura Thomas, made the overalls worn by the little driver. The pants are the only item not made by Archer.

The artison moved to Bixby in 1909 and is a retired employee of the Oklahoma Natural Gas Company. He will be 85 years of age this month.

Wood carving is not new to Archer as a tour of the Archer home will reveal. He made a chest of drawers for his bedroom and, "now I don't have to hunt for my clothing," he explained. He carves what not shelves and overstuffed divans and chairs which are really sewing sets.

Mr. and Mrs. Archer will observe their 67th wedding anniversary Dec. 4. Mrs. Archer was 82 years old this week. Her hobby is piecing quilts. Both Mr. and Mrs. Archer enjoy fishing.

The Takeaway

One for the Roses

Sunday, June 16, 2013

Englishman Justin Rose fired a final round 70 to post 1-over-par 281 to defeat American Phil Mickelson and Australian Jason Day by two shots to win his first major championship as he hoisted the U.S. Open trophy Sunday evening at Merion Golf Club outside of Philadelphia. A group of four others finished another two shots back in T4.

Justin Rose began Sunday T5 and two shots behind 54-hole leader Phil Mickelson and tied with fellow Englishman Luke Donald, who was also looking for his first major. The Englishmen were paired on Sunday and were trying to master a golf course that had no problem showing her teeth all week. Rose was prescient on Saturday before his round on Saturday. He alluded that Saturday is usually known as “moving day” on TOUR but he would be thrilled to stay right where he was. Rose bogeyed Nos. 17 and 18 on Saturday to fall out of a tie for the lead but his tournament was far from over.

If you would have made a list of great ball-strikers before the week started, recent form omitted, you would have been hard to find anyone that would have topped Justin Rose. Stable mates Tiger Woods and Hunter Mahan would have been up there; so would Jason Dufner, Ernie Els and even up-and-comer Billy Horschel. Let’s take a minute to give Sean Foley props for getting his boys tuned in this week. If I would have told you Tiger Woods would have been the worst of the three, you probably would have laughed at me. Again.

Rose’s win this week shouldn’t have come as a surprise based on his pedigree in his victories. In his previous four wins he’s beaten the fields at Memorial, AT&T, BMW and WGC-Cadillac Championship. So that’s Jack’s tournament, Tiger’s tournament, a third-stage FEDEX Cup Playoff and a WGC event. That’s strong, like his ball-striking.

Entering the week, Rose had played in seven U.S. Opens and had made the cut in only three of them. The good news was his finishes were T5, T10 and T21 so if he does make the cut, he’s going to get after it. He’s now made the cut in the U.S. Open in back-to-back events for the first time.

Rose struck the ball beautifully, hit some monster putts and got up-and-down and the most crucial stages. That’s what a U.S. Open winner does. He was T2 in driving accuracy, T7 GIR, and T16 in total putts. Bravo, Rosey! I don’t think there were many of us gamers who thought that winning a major was out of the question with Rose, especially after his performance against Phil Mickelson last year in singles during the Ryder Cup. Mickelson couldn’t put him away then and he couldn’t put him away again today on the same big stage. Justin Rose made zero double bogeys this week.

With this victory, Rose collects $1,440,000 and 600 FedExCup points.

Déjà vu All Over Again?

In the last 10 U.S. Opens, seven have been won by internationals.

Since 2001, at the time of their U.S. Open victory, 12 of 13 winners have made this their first career major. Only Tiger Woods had a won a major championship before this period. Retief Goosen, Woods, Cabrera and McIlroy have since won another major. First-time major winners at the U.S. Open are officially a trend in my book.

Justin Rose becomes the first Englishman since Tony Jackin (1970) to win the U.S. Open.

Rose becomes the first Englishman since Nick Faldo (1996 Masters) to win a major.

Rose joins every other winner at Merion as a come-from-behind winner.

In the last 19 majors, there have been 18 different winners. Only Rory McIlroy has won multiple times. #freshmeat

Only 11 of the 54-hole leaders or co-leaders have gone on to win the 23 stroke-play events on the season.

There have been 25 tournaments this season. The Stars and Stripes have won 20 of them.

There have also been nine first-time winners this season. There have also been just two multiple winners, Woods (four) and Kuchar (WGC-Match Play; Memorial).

The winners on TOUR have been Johnson, D (28), Henley (24), Gay (41), Woods FOUR times (37), Mickelson (42), Snedeker (32), Merrick (30) Kuchar TWICE (34),Thompson, M (27) Brown (29), Streelman (34), Points (36), Laird (30), Scott (32), G-Mac (33), Horschel (26), Ernst (22), Bae (26), Weekley (39) English (23) and Rose (32).  The young folks (30 and younger) now have 10 victories; the 30-somethings have racked up a a baker’s dozen, 13 victories, and the “old folks” (40 and up) have their two wins. Phil Mickelson was T2 for the “old folks” for the second week running.

A look at the players who finished in the top 10

Phil Mickelson: The week started perfectly for the five-time runner-up but it ended with a whimper as the usual expert wedge player was let down by those clubs on Sunday. Sure, he holed out on No. 10 for eagle but he couldn’t capitalize on No. 13 or make any magic on No. 15 with those same clubs. He left the driver at home and was striping his irons but he’ll find no consolation in his putter that couldn’t fire on the back nine on Sunday. He’ll look back on that ten foot putt on No. 16 that would have tied the lead for a long time. Though he didn’t reward gamers with a win this week, back-to-back seconds didn’t exactly hurt gamers either.

Jason Day: He’s now 13-for-13 on the 2013 season and has finished third alone at the Masters and now T2 at the U.S. Open. He now has five top 10s in 11 career starts. I’m going to stop typing now. There’s nothing else I could write to convince you to put him in your line up for majors.

Hunter Mahan: In nine events since his runner-up finish at the WGC-Match Play, Mahan’s best finish was T16 at the Memorial so he was peaking at the right time. He’ll be disappointed with his play down the stretch but he won’t be upset with his best finish ever in a major. This is also his first top 10 in the majors since T8 in 2010 at Augusta.

Jason Dufner: It took event No. 14 of his 2013 season to hit the top 10 but Dufner and gamers will be encouraged to see his final round 67 push him to T4. His final round could have been even better but his driver on No. 15 found OB. I opined earlier in the week that I was going to avoid Dufner this tournament because of his recent form but he showed real class putting this performance together. Look for this result to spring him forward in the second half of the season.

Ernie Els: He seems to like major championships played in the state of Pennsylvania as he finishes T4 this weekend to go along with his win at Oakmont. After not being eligible for the 2012 Masters, Els has now made six cuts on the trot in the majors and has finishes of T4, T13, T48, WIN and T9. In his last four U.S. Opens he’s now finished T4, ninth, MC and third so like fine wine, Els is getting better with age on the biggest stage.

Billy Horschel: He was a true wild card entering this weekend as his only other major was after his freshman year at Florida when he went through sectional qualifying to play in the U.S. Open as an amateur. Horschel, in a season of firsts, has once again reaffirmed that he will be a player to be reckoned with from here on out. He had the audacity to hit 18-of-18 GIR in round 2 and wear squid pants in the final round of his country’s National Championship! He will be greatly helped in the future after watching fellow youngster Jason Day handle the pressure of a big Sunday in a major. For Horschel to hang on and finish T4 is outrageous for a guy playing his first major as a professional.

Luke Donald: Playing his 10th U.S. Open, Donald finally hit the top 10 with his T8 finish. His previous best finish was T12 in 2006. Donald struggles with tee shots and that was what ultimately did him in again this week. His chipping and putting is so good that it can make up for it to a degree and if there was a week that Donald was going to contend, it was going to be this week on a course under 7,000 yards. Donald, unsurprisingly, has made every weekend in the states this year (9-9).

Steve Stricker: His T8 finish is pretty good for a guy who’s doing more nothing than playing at the moment! Stricker,46, was looking to become the oldest champion since Hale Irwin, 45, in 1990, but his day was done after hitting a driver shockingly OB on No. 2 and then shanking an iron from the middle of the fairway on the same hole. Stricker went out in 41 but rallied for 35 on the back. I’ve learned that he’s going to play on the courses he thinks he’ll have a chance of winning this season. All in at the John Deere Classic, right?

Hideki Matsuyama: The young Japanese lad was lauded in our Wednesday chat by Rob Bolton and he lived up to the billing this week to finish T10. Not bad for his first U.S. Open and only fourth major of his young career. He’s 21 and has already won thrice on the Japan Golf Tour. He was also the Asian Amateur Champion in 2010. Just to show you this wasn’t a fluke, he was T27 and the low amateur at the 2010 Masters. Write his name down and cross off Ryo Ishikawa’s.

Nicolas Colsaerts: For the second year in a row the big hitting Belgian made waves at the U.S. Open as he finished T10. Last year, he held the lead briefly on the weekend before blowing up and finishing T27. This year, he blew up again on Saturday but found a way to gut-out a 72 on Sunday. He’s now found the top 10 three times in 2013 on U.S. soil.

Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano: All the talk on Saturday was about Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy but the forgotten man in that three-some beat the pants off of both of them.  His 72 was four shots better than Woods and three shots better than McIlroy. GFC has now made the cut in 10 of the 13 majors he’s featured in and has hit the top 10 for the third time in nine starts in the States in 2013. He’s received his special-member status on TOUR for 2013 so look for him to start picking up more events. It should be encouraging that he didn't fold in the face of world No. 1 and No. 2. That's not an easy ask.

Rickie Fowler: His 67 on Saturday was the round of the day and led to his best finish ever in five tries at the U.S. Open (T10). Fowler should have been on your radar this week after his 4-0 performance at Merion during the 2009 Walker Cup. Sometimes a course fits a player’s eye and Fowler showed this to be the case this week, regardless of his current form.  Fowler now has two top 10s in 14 major starts.

“Hey, what ever happened to…”

I take a look back at what happened to the chalk

Tiger Woods: The favorite of just about everyone this week struggled again on the weekend of a major championship. Here’s what we’ve learned as gamers: the courses that he plays really well are the places that he’s won on before. If you are going to pull the trigger, you might as well do so in the most familiar places. There’s nothing I see in his game that puts me off except that he hasn’t played well on unfamiliar tracks.

Graeme McDowell: I don’t think many people expected 76-77 for the 2010 champion on a layout that wasn’t very long. As GMAC simply remarked via Twitter that’s just how U.S. Open golf goes sometimes. As Rob Bolton and I have mentioned in the past, there’s no point in reading into a performance like this. It’s a one-time event. Pick up the pieces and move on. GMAC will be just fine down the road.

Matt Kuchar: A respectable T28 sounds better than 12-over! Kuchar didn’t have a round over 74 nor a round better than 72 so he was solid this week but not spectacular. His major record still leaves a bit to be desired but he’s a must-play for weekly gamers otherwise.

Jim Furyk: After making nine bogeys, three doubles and a triple, it’s no surprise that Furyk wasn’t around for the weekend. It is a surprise when a player of his caliber in his own backyard doesn’t even show up on the radar. I am one of many who were disappointed that he didn’t fire this week. It will be interesting to see how he bounces back from this performance down the road.

Adam Scott: Another year, another year without a player winning the Grand Slam. That’s hardly a surprise as there are plenty of excellent players around the world. Scott continues to sputter in the U.S. Open as his best finish is T15 in 2012 at Olympic Club. That’s strange to me as well as he strikes it from the tee and into the green.

Sergio Garcia: He showed some maturity this week by not letting the crowd get into his head. He could have had fans ejected for heckling him but he opted to pass. Smart.  He was heckled by Nos. 14 and 15 to the tune of 15-over this week. Those holes were tougher than the fans this week.

Keegan Bradley: He hit it everywhere and never got comfortable on the greens this week. It will be interesting to see if he can keep his emotions in check down the road in this event. Guys cannot win the U.S. Open playing without getting into and out of trouble. This was his first MC in a major.

Rory McIlroy: Three days playing with his chum Tiger Woods didn’t reflect on the scorecard this week. McIlroy struggled to get his putter going and, like Woods, never factored this week. Too many bogeys.

Fredrik Jacobson: He made 13 bogeys in 36 holes to miss the cut by a shot. His accuracy around and on the greens couldn’t make up for his loose ball-striking. Merion wins again.

Bill Haas: His record in majors should have pushed me away this week. I thought his ball-striking could see him contend. Firing 74-77 answered all of my questions.

Webb Simpson: Only three players have defended their U.S. Open titles so I’m not going to crucify Simpson. He along with Woods, Choi and Chappell posted 13-over. Most of you would have taken that foursome before the week started.

Charl Schwartzel: The South African who is renowned for his putting found himself in the penultimate group on Sunday but couldn’t buy anything on the greens and settled for 78 and 14th. Schwartzel’s excellent season continues but he’ll be disappointed with his final round as he was looking to add to his 2011 green jacket.

Brandt Snedeker: After making the cut on the number, Snedeker battled all the way back to T17 with 70-72 on the weekend. He made only three bogeys on the weekend (two doubles as well) and only six birdies on the week. That’s grinding, folks.

Bengals signed C Jeff Faine, formerly of the Buccaneers.

31-year-old Faine is insurance for starting C Kyle Cook, whom the Bengals fear may miss significant time with a foot injury. Cincinnati's interior offensive line is not panning out as a likely strength. LG Travelle Wharton is already done for the season, and rookie RG Kevin Zeitler has been up and down.
Wed, Aug 29, 2012 02:13:00 PM

The Bengals will host free agent C Jeff Faine for a visit on Tuesday.

It's an indication that Bengals C Kyle Cook's foot injury is serious. One of the worst centers in the league last season, Faine was released by the Bucs in March. He hasn't made a visit since April.
Mon, Aug 27, 2012 10:07:00 PM

Free agent C Jeff Faine visited the Titans earlier this week.

Faine is at least the fifth veteran center to visit Tennessee, and the team reportedly has former Eagles center Jamaal Jackson in mind as a fallback option. Released by the Bucs after a dramatic decline in run blocking, Faine has started 117 games in his nine-year career.
Fri, Apr 13, 2012 12:13:00 PM

Bucs released C Jeff Faine.

Faine was due $12.925 million over the next two years after grading out as one of the worst centers in the league by Pro Football Focus in 2011. He missed 12 games between 2009-10 before appearing in 15 last season. He's unlikely to draw interest as a starter on the open market.
Wed, Mar 14, 2012 05:50:00 PM

The Tampa Bay Times confirms that the Bucs are likely to release C Jeff Faine after news of Jeremy Zuttah moving to center.

Faine simply isn't worth his nearly $6 million base salary, and the move will likely occur later today or tomorrow. Faine, 31, has been the Bucs' starting center since 2008. He's been injury prone and ineffective the entire time, though.
Mon, Mar 12, 2012 02:25:00 PM

Bucs C Jeff Faine insists he didn't tear his biceps in Sunday's win over the Saints, and that it's only a strain.

Faine says he "hopes" to play against the Bears in Week 7. Tampa-Chicago will be played at Wembley Stadium in London. The Bucs' running game held up just fine with Jeremy Zuttah filling in for Faine Sunday against New Orleans.
Sun, Oct 16, 2011 08:52:00 PM

Bucs C Jeff Faine left Sunday's game in the second half with a right biceps injury.

The extent of the injury is unknown, but Faine would likely be done for the season if the biceps muscle is torn. Ted Larsen has come on at center.
Sun, Oct 16, 2011 06:20:00 PM

Bucs C Jeff Faine has written an open letter to Tampa Bay fans.

The letter is in response to a recent post on questioning Faine for sitting out workouts organized by his teammates. Faine says he will now attend all future workouts. The fact that he felt the need to announce so in an open letter would seem to indicate guilt over his absences, which is patently absurd when he's been locked out by the owners.
Sat, May 28, 2011 02:29:00 PM

Bucs GM Mark Dominik hinted that C Jeff Faine will be back next season.

The oft-injured Faine is due $4.6 million in 2011, a number the Bucs are apparently willing to pay. "Jeff Faine is the captain of the football team for a lot of right reasons and he's a productive player for us," Dominik said. The St. Petersburg Times has already reported this offseason that Faine "has assurances" that he won't be released.
Mon, Mar 14, 2011 09:05:00 AM

Bucs C Jeff Faine reportedly "has assurances" that he'll be back with the Bucs next season.

Currently rehabbing from a torn triceps, Faine has missed 12 games the past two seasons. However, the Bucs seem genuine about not wanting to release one of their captains even though he'll turn 30 in April and is due $4.6 million in 2011. His veteran presence is certainly valuable for one of the league's youngest teams.
Sun, Feb 20, 2011 08:59:00 AM

Bucs placed C Jeff Faine on injured reserve with a torn tricep muscle, ending his season.

He finishes with eight starts. Injury prone early in his career with the Browns, Faine has reverted to his oft-injured ways, and will enter the 2011 offseason having missed 12 of a possible 32 starts in his last two seasons. Faine's salary next year is $4.575 million. He won't be a lock to return.
Mon, Dec 6, 2010 05:12:00 PM

Bucs C Jeff Faine is expected to miss the remainder of the season with a triceps injury.

It appears Faine has a muscle tear. Tampa's offensive line is thinning quickly, as undrafted rookie Derek Hardman was forced to play right guard in Sunday's loss to Atlanta while usual RG Jeremy Zuttah kicked to center.

Cubs placed RHP Neil Ramirez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 26, with left abdominal soreness.
The feeling had been that Ramirez was having more shoulder issues, but apparently it was more of an abdominal problem. Either way, he's going to be out for a while. Jul 29 - 11:05 AM

Lonnie Chisenhall doubled, homered, and knocked in three runs across four at-bats in Monday's win against the Red Sox.
Chisenhall doubled in a pair of runs in the middle of a five-run fourth inning, then added a solo home run in the sixth to make it a 7-1 game. Since being recalled from Triple-A on July 30, the 26-year-old is hitting .375 (18-for-48). Chisenhall will have to keep it going if he wants to make an improvement on his mediocre season-wide .244/.277/.387 batting line, along with his six home runs and 27 RBI. Aug 17 - 10:24 PM

A Letter from the Program Director

Gordon A. Brown, DO, Program Director

Thank you for visiting our website to learn about the urological surgery program at the Rowan University School of Osteopathic Medicine. The goal of our five-year program is to provide a comprehensive didactic curriculum and surgical experience to prepare osteopathic physicians to become well-trained private practice or academic urologists.

   The first year of post-graduate training is a tracked surgical internship, including four months of urology, two months of general surgery, and several months of medicine, in accordance with OPTI guidelines.  The following four years of residency are dedicated to clinical urology training.  Our 30+ volunteer faculty private practice physicians actively engage in residency training at seven coverage hospitals, enabling resident exposure to a wide variety of patient populations and surgical techniques.  Working with fellowship-trained faculty in urologic oncology, robotics, endourology, infertility, female urology, and pediatric urology, residents have a tremendous breadth of exposure to all aspects of urological surgery.  Beyond surgical training, resident-run clinics in two health systems provide an exposure to outpatient urology practice and patient evaluation.  With a comprehensive residency experience, our graduates have the exposure to determine their career goals: over the past 5 years, five graduates have pursued further fellowship training, three have gone into private practice, and one has fulfilled his military obligation before entering private practice.

    Our program participates in the ERAS application process, coordinated through our Graduate Medical Education office at RowanSOM.  If you wish to apply for a residency position, I invite you to join us for a rotation.  Rotations may be established through our program administrator (Maritza Rodriguez-Calabrese: rodrima@rowan.edu) and the Clinical Education Coordinator in the Office of Academic Affairs at RowanSOM.

Best of luck in your pursuits,

Gordon A. Brown, DO, FACOS

Hello everyone!

It's Bluehaze here back again with my yearly selling thread.  I'm tidying up my gaming collection by selling-off a ton of great extras that I've amassed over the years.  These items include brand new consoles all the way down to old school boxes and instruction manuals for all you people perfecting your collections.  The last two years (2007 & 2008) I had my items ebayed and cooperatively sold here at RPGFan, but this year I'm bringing it all straight to you guys, the community : )

As before, all of my items come from a non-smoking environment and are in 100% working condition.

If you have any questions regarding any of the items below--such as what a certain foreign game is all about or about taking additional photos for you--then please feel free to ask.  If it is a concern or correction, then I would prefer a PM.

Please read below for my selling and buying rules regarding this thread.

S&H Costs & Ethics
  • All shipping prices are for N. America only.  For all other buyers, PM me with your country and the items that you are interested in so that I can give you an 'estimate.'  Until I get to the post office and they actually weigh all of your items and measure the shipping box, I cannot know the exact cost for international buyers.
  • All shipments in N. America above $50 will have FREE insurance.  For buyers outside of N. America, if you would like insurance, then please let me know when we reach the stage of determining final costs.
  • I follow guidelines for safe packaging.
  • All non-handheld consoles are a flat rate of $16.  This makes it easier for me than having to go through the hours long process of calculating twenty consoles for each potential state.  Please see below for shipping discounts on consoles.
  • All handheld consoles are a flat rate of $7.  Please see below for shipping discounts on handheld consoles.
  • All games and books are a flat rate of $5.  Please see below for shipping discounts on games and books.
  • All accessories and promos will have a shipping cost beside their buying cost.
  • There are a very few amount of common sense exceptions to this pricing. For example, CPS2 motherboards, which are games the size of consoles.  Such items will have their shipping cost listed beside their buying price.
  • I accept pickups.  In fact, I endorse them!  It saves you shipping costs and me a drive to the post office.  If you are interested in picking up your items, then please let me know when we are working out the final costs.

Shipping Discounts:

  • After the first console, shipping for each additional one will only be half-price ($8).
  • After the first book, shipping for each additional one will only be $2.
  • After the first game or handheld console, shipping for each additional one will only be $1!
  • Additional shipping discounts will vary depending on how much space I can save while preserving the safe packaging of your items.  This includes accessories and promos.

Payment Methods
  • I accept Money Orders and Paypal.  I do not anything else.  Do not ask.
  • I ship items after I have received payment.
  • I prefer Money Orders so that Paypal doesn't rape me with their fees, esp. on large payments.  If you are not in urgency to receive your items, then I would be very grateful if you could send me a Money Order instead.

Item Prices

Nearly all of the prices for the items listed below are the result of averaging out common eBay prices and/or consulting various game collecting websites regarding appropriate pricing.  Some of the items are hard to find, and therefore hard to receive accurate pricing on.  Thus, some pricing is given in a ballpark range.

Resources that you can use when deciding on some of the rarer/expensive items in this thread are:

To put it short, some of these items are very rare (such as the 15-year old NIB SNES console & the non-licensed NES games).  If you are one of the wonderful game collectors on SRK, then this thread will likely be a treasure trove of gems : )

I am open to trading for the following items:
  • Fighting game tourney shirts, size Medium (e.g. EVO, Texas Showdown, Cooperation Cup, etc.) (no ripped/discolored items)

Now...On to the items!!!

Deadlands Reloaded: Guess Who's Coming to Donner?

Winter is supposed to be a time of peace, and dinner is supposed to be a time of sharing. O’ course, winter ain’t due quite yet, and the Weird West is supposed to be a land of plenty, but supposin’ don’t fill nobody’s belly.

Heed the call to find a party lost in Truckee Pass. What’s a little unseasonable light snow? And who cares if the pass is better known for the last lost party, the Donners?

I hear south o’ the border they say not to drink the water. Up here in the Sierra Nevadas, we say don’t have your neighbors for dinner. It’s only good advice if you take it, amigo. Otherwise, evil may come to Pass…

Guess Who’s Coming to Donner is tummy-twistin’ Savage Tale for the award-winning Deadlands RPG with a full set of map tiles. (Deadlands Adventure, full color, 26 pages)

Product Information
Rule System(s)
File Size:
4.62 MB
Original electronic
Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.

I wasn't talking about Brian Fargo, but he hasn't exactly had a sterling decade either.

Still, I will probably end up sticking money in this. I'm too big of a Fallout fan to just ignore this.
