Why does Men's Lax Stink?

I've seen the last couple of televised men's lax games. This team stinks and its record reflects that. It doesn't seem like the team has been very good in recent memory.

How is this possible? Pennsylvania every year is producing some of the best players in the country. But, Penn State doesn't end up with them. In fact, the PSU team seems to be surprisingly light on Pennsylvania players. This is kind of like Minnesota hockey fielding a team of guys from Illinois and stinking.

The quality of the team and the failure of recruiting in PSU's own backyard seem like problems to me.

POLL: Hottest 90's alt music girls!

Always love a little nostalgia on a Friday! Thought about this while buying up a bunch of 90's music on iTunes this morning. Was at Penn State from 93-97, and music was a big part of my life then. I remember going to Blue Train Records for midnight launches and walking campus with my discman. Anyway, I loved a lot of 90's female performers and was mostly into alternative then. These are the girls I remember most (and make me wonder what the hell is going on with today's music - wow I'm old.). Write in's welcome!

FC/OT: 'Going Clear' - anyone watch this on HBO???

Documentary about Scientology that is just over the top fascinating. I'm about a half hour in, and seeing Tom Cruise's speech at their annual convention just made me cringe. The testimonial from former members is just unbelievable, and the footage of LRH peddling his science fiction as religion is weird as hell. Here's the most published author in the world cherry picking his SF ideas and turning them into a religion. The guy is on record as saying 'the only way to make money is to start a religion,' and that's exactly what he did. And the key to their success and financial influence is their priceless tax exempt status.

You can see why celebrities are so into it though; this is the one religion that is all about YOU, and how to make YOUR LIFE better. And give you super powers. Praise Xenu! Sigh - how did anyone fall for this hokey BS?

the goldbergs "the lost boy" episode last week (spoiler)

what a great "right of passage" episode this week. Aside from a couple of great scenes where mom bedazzles the oldest son's Flyer's jersey, is the story of the youngest son and dad who go to a Phillies game at old Veterans Memorial Stadium.

ten year old has to go to the bathroom after drinking a 32 ouncer and Dad, thinking he's old enough and not wanting to miss any of the game, sends him alone. Kid finds the bathroom a horror story and goes up a floor thinking it is the higher priced area and will be nicer. As a result, kid gets lost. He can't find his dad, dad can't find him.

I've been on both sides. As a kid, I got lost at a Penn St./Pitt game at Three Rivers. I found the family but remember being half scared to death. As a Dad, I remember doing the bumper boats on a cool day with my two sons and got wet. We had just enough credits to go on the go carts that only held three and my youngest son was too small to go. I left him, about six at the time, near the railing while I raced with my older boy (age 8). When we got done, the youngest was gone. It only took five minutes to find him but those were the longest five minutes of my life. And, when I found him, he was freezing (from being wet) and crying. Some older lady was trying to comfort him and help him find me. To this day, I feel horrible about it. But, I consider it a right of passage for the kid and being a father.

Way OT Any Woodworkers here?

Any one here woodwork? If so, do any of you have experience with Jointer/ Planer machines? I am considering purchasing one in the near? future. Jet and Hammer USA(Felder/ pro-sumer line) are possible candidates. I like that you can get segmented cutterheads with both of these units.


Casadei/ Minimax are probably beyond my budget, but would be willing to wait if that truly is the way to go. Due to the small shop area I have, I need to have such a unit because I don't have room for two stand alone units.

Any thoughts?
