In five short years, coach brings out best in Baylor -
In five short years, coach brings out best in Baylor

They'll never admit it, but sometimes a coach just doesn't know what to say after a loss.
Kim Mulkey-Robertson and Baylor have reached their first Elite Eight.
You wonder if your players, heads hung low, are even listening. If anything you say can take away the sting.
And boy, you just knew this one would stick with the Baylor Lady Bears for a while.
Down by 21 points against then No. 2-ranked LSU in their season opener, the eighth-ranked Bears staged a furious second-half comeback to tie the score with 1:40 to play, only to lose on the final possession.
But in the locker room afterward, the words flowed freely from Kim Mulkey-Robertson's mouth.
"One day," the Baylor coach told her players, "we're going to be able to win these games."
Turns out, the words were more fact than false hope. And five months later, the Lady Bears' ability to win -- both by blowout and by the skin of their teeth -- has brought the program its first regular-season Big 12 title, its first conference tournament championship and, after Saturday's 64-57 victory over Minnesota, its first trip to the Elite Eight where it will meet North Carolina on Monday (ESPN, 7 p.m. ET).
Along the way, Baylor notched 15 wins by at least 15 points, but also pulled out the tight ones, winning six games that were decided by five or fewer points, including a one-point victory over Sweet 16 competitor Texas Tech in the Big 12 tournament semifinals.
Still, the most notable number of all might be the fact that the just five years ago, Baylor was the worst team in the Big 12.
That, of course, was before Mulkey-Robertson arrived. Before the program produced not one but two All-Americans (junior Sophia Young was named to the AP All-America Second Team, while senior Steffanie Blackmon was tabbed a third-team pick) this season. Before Baylor became one of just two teams this year among the major conferences to win its regular-season and tournament titles outright. And before Mulkey-Robertson racked up a stunning 126-38 record.
No one doubted Mulkey-Robertson would be successful as a head coach. People, including the coach herself, just thought it would be at a different school. After helping Louisiana Tech win back-to-back national championships in 1981 and '82, she joined Leon Barmore's staff and served as an assistant for 15 years. By the time Barmore decided to retire, the assumption was that the program would fall into Mulkey-Robertson's hands.
The offer, albeit disappointing, was made. But Mulkey-Robertson declined. And who could blame her? After giving 19 years to Louisiana Tech, she asked for a five-year contract. The best the school came up with was a one-year deal that would be revisited after her first season.
"I had spent 38 years in Louisiana, and had given 19 years of my life to Louisiana Tech," she said. "I never thought I would leave. I never realized there was a bigger world out there."
But Baylor came calling, and Mulkey-Robertson soon made her way to Waco, Texas. Success quickly followed.
The team went 7-20 prior to her arrival, but Mulkey-Robertson has since guided the Lady Bears to the postseason every season. In 2001, Baylor produced its first professional players when Sheila Lambert and Danielle Crockrom were each drafted in the first round. Lambert also became the program's first Kodak All-American, and Baylor continues to break the program's attendance records.
Ironically, Lambert also won the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award, which recognizes the nation's best player who's 5 feet, 7 inches or shorter. Mulkey-Robertson, who, despite being a playmaker in college scored a then-national record 4,075 points at Hammond High School, won the inaugural award in 1984. Now, with three more wins this season, Mulkey-Robertson could become the first woman to win NCAA titles as both a player and coach.
Junior guard Chameka Scott says her coach's intensity sets the tone for the Lady Bears.
"[Coach] has the ability to get the best out of her players and puts it on the line in every aspect of the game, whether it's going after officials or going after us," Scott said. "She makes you take it up another notch, mentally, emotionally, and how you play on the court."
And yet, despite Mulkey-Robertson's intensity, she has taught Baylor to stay cool and in control in the clutch.
The Lady Bears, who are riding a school-record 17-game winning streak, will need that Monday. Both UNC and Baylor like to run, with the Tar Heels averaging nearly 80 points and the Bears putting about 75 on the board each game. Sounds like it could be another close one.
Ed's note:.... We will have to see. Lou Tech is where OSU's new coach for ladys come's from too, He being the one they chose over Kim... but I bet Coach KIM is the one OSU should have recruited, especially the way the Lady Bears won last night making it to the Final Four of women's bball!! Man, I have never watched the ladies before.. and these ladys are killers!! what an exciting game!!

Telluride Marshal's Department, a few hehehe's...
Telluride Marshal's Department
March 17
DUI: A 35-year-old Ouray man who blew a stop sign was asked to provide his license and instead offered the deputy his credit card. He was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. He said: "I wasn't driving, I was just moving my car around the block."
March 18
HIT AND RUN: A dirty SUV hit a car. The driver yelled, "Are you OK?" but took off before he could hear the answer from the victims. The victim couldn't read the license because it was caked in dirt. The victim said the hit and run driver "looked like he was wasted." Within five minutes, a deputy five blocks away from the accident serendipitously stopped a similar SUV on suspicious of DUI. The SUV matched the description of the hit and run vehicle (dried mud on the license plate), and the suspect matched the hit and run victim's description. There was fresh bumper marks on his front bumper.
WARRANT: A 58-year-old Telluride man was arrested on an outstanding warrant. He was unaware of the warrant. He bonded out for $3,000.
DOG AT LARGE: A pit bull was running around, leash-less, trying to play with a pug. It had no town license and no owner. A man clearing snow said the dog had been running loose for 45 minutes. The code enforcement officer took the dog to the pound. When the owner was contacted, he hung up on the cops, and was described by police as having very poor manners. When he came into the marshal's office to retrieve the dog, he threw a $50 bill down on the counter (the fee for dog catching) and said to the officer "I have dealt with you in the past and you were a nice guy, but lately you're a jerk. Some day you will need my help and I'm not going to give it to you." When the officer saw him on the street later, the man yelled, "It's called Karma!" Again, he was described as being very poorly behaved.
March 16
LOUD PARTY: A noise complaint came in about an apartment being too loud at 3:30 a.m. A woman in the apartment was given a warning by the cops.

The woman was cited for unnecessary noise violation.

For all of us who are married, were married, wish you were married,
or wish you weren't married, this is something to smile about the
next time you open a bottle of wine:
Sally was driving home from one of her business trips in Northern Arizona when she saw an elderly Navajo woman walking on the side of the road. As the trip was a long and quiet one, she stopped the car and asked the Navajo woman if she would like a ride. With a silent nod of thanks, the woman got into the car.
Resuming the journey, Sally tried in vain to make a bit of small talk with the Navajo woman. The old woman just sat silently, looking intently at everything she saw, studying every little detail, until she noticed a brown bag on the seat next to Sally.
"What's in the bag?" asked the old woman.
Sally looked down at the brown bag and said, "It's a bottle of wine.I got it for my husband."
The Navajo woman was silent for another moment or two. Then speaking with the quiet wisdom of an elder, she said, "Good trade."

Very Timely.....
Putting your wishes in writing
11:14 AM CST on Thursday, March 24, 2005
By KAREN M. THOMAS and MICHAEL PRECKER / The Dallas Morning News
Nearly a month ago, right before surgery, Fred Bailey of Dallas made a decision.
He had had a mild heart attack in 2000 and a triple bypass after that. Now doctors were preparing to install a device in his chest to automatically shock his heart if it beat irregularly. When a staff member at Baylor University Medical Center asked him a routine question – whether he was in interested in a living will – Mr. Bailey said he was. After speaking with a hospital chaplain, he signed an advance directive asking doctors not to resuscitate him if the worst should occur.
"I freely signed," says Mr. Bailey, who's 53. "I have children, grandchildren and living parents. I don't want them to go through anything that remotely resembles that situation in Florida. ... The main thing is that I don't want to be in a vegetative state or a coma."
"That situation," as Mr. Bailey puts it, is the kind of unhappy news that brings advance directives, also known as living wills, back into the spotlight. Terri Schiavo, whose heart stopped in 1990 because of a chemical imbalance when she was 26 and who has been in a vegetative state since, left no answers to crucial questions: Would she want to live this way? What should be done to keep her alive?
The result has been a bitter legal battle between Ms. Schiavo's husband, who wants her to be allowed to die, and her parents, who say there is still hope for recovery. After a court ruled that Ms. Schiavo's feeding tube could be removed last month, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush won legislative approval to restore the tube and prolong her life.
A living will might have prevented the dilemma by making Ms. Schiavo's intentions clear. But when Dallas attorney Shelly B. West and geriatric care manager Kay Paggi make that point and advocate living wills, they run into frustrating, illogical problems.
"Most of my clients are quite convinced that they're not going to die," says Ms. West, who handles many family law and probate cases. "I have to get them past the idea – it's not about them; it's about taking care of their survivors."
Ms. Paggi, who works with elderly people at several facilities in Richardson, says the myth persists "that as soon as you write your will, you will die.
"Everyone knows intellectually that is not true, but you still grapple with that," she says. "It's the same thing with the living will."
Making your wishes known in advance, Ms. West says, "is such a simple, loving thing you can do for your family."
At Aging With Dignity, a nonprofit organization based in Tallahassee, Fla., that distributes a living will form nationwide called Five Wishes, the Schiavo case has sparked a surge of interest.
"We've noticed 10 times the number of orders we normally do," says Paul Malley, president of the organization. "No matter what they think is right or wrong, people are saying, 'Isn't it terrible this is happening?' One woman who called said, 'Wouldn't it be wonderful if this were Terri Schiavo's legacy?'"
Aging With Dignity was founded in 1996 to promote dignified care for people at the end of their lives. Mr. Malley says the organizers quickly realized that people wanted to have their wishes known but were discouraged by what they saw as a complicated legal process.
"People don't want to talk about death and dying to start with," Mr. Malley says. "All the forms seemed too hard to understand, so some people would just rather avoid the topic altogether."
Consider the options
Many states, including Texas, provide a living will form that allows people to choose whether they want life-sustaining treatment if they are terminally ill. The Texas document, which must be signed before two witnesses, also preserves the right for people to change their minds at any point.
But Mr. Malley says some state forms do not go into enough detail, with legal language that some people find off-putting. So his organization put together the Five Wishes booklet, asking questions in plain English covering five categories:
•The person I want to make care decisions for me when I can't
•The kind of medical treatment I want or don't want
•How comfortable I want to be
•How I want people to treat me
•What I want my loved ones to know.
"We want people to fill it out together and discuss it with their family," Mr. Malley says.
Although the Five Wishes booklet is not legally binding in Texas, Ms. Paggi says she recommends it "because it makes you think about options. If you are dying, do you want music? Do you want to die alone?"
She says that many of her elderly clients who are dying don't want their children present, but never tell them.
"They might have said, 'I really want to be alone. It's not a spectator event,'" Ms. Paggi says. "A lot of adult children are guilty because they weren't in the room when their parent died. So it's another benefit of having the document."
Aging With Dignity charges $5 for the booklet, or $25 for 25 of them. Working with attorneys, health groups, senior citizen organizations and private companies, the organization has distributed 3 million booklets.
Spread the word
Mr. Malley and Ms. Paggi recommend that people make copies of their wishes, then distribute them to family members, doctors and whoever is empowered to make decisions.
"If it's legal power of attorney, you do want to keep it locked up," Ms. Paggi says. "But a medical directive? You should make copies of the copies.
"Keep one in the glove compartment of your car, give one to the person who normally takes you on errands. It's only good if someone knows it exists and has access to it when you need it."
Mr. Bailey, who isn't married and owns a construction company, has a copy of his living will at home. He has also given copies to two friends. He's told one of his four children about his wishes. But when he became ill Oct. 28 at home alone, he was too sick to grab his directive before climbing into an ambulance. He simply signed another one after being admitted to Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital.
Staff workers "said they would like to have it on file again. I am fortunate enough that I got here, but if I were to go into cardiac arrest and lose my capacity to do what I am doing now, then I don't want that .... I don't want to be a burden to anyone I love," he says.
Put it in writing
Mr. Malley says that if the Five Wishes document is signed in front of witnesses, it has legal standing in 35 states. Ms. West says that while Five Wishes and other living wills that people do for themselves may be helpful, they may not stand up to a challenge from someone who disagrees with the instructions.
She suggests that a state-recognized living will should be part of a package that includes a will that distributes assets and a document assigning power of attorney to make decisions in case one becomes incapacitated.
In uncomplicated cases, she says, the entire process shouldn't cost more than a few hundred dollars.
"You would hope people would do this," Ms. West says. "But every week I deal with a situation where somebody didn't. Then it becomes this ethical dilemma.
"If everybody knew what I wanted, but I didn't take an hour to go and sign a document, then the hospital is nervous and the doctors are nervous about cutting off life support. And if there's a dispute in my family, then it goes to the court and it's a mess."
At Baylor, the Rev. Kara Leslie Stalcup says that hospital staffers ask every patient whether he or she wants a living will and offers help filling it out. The free form then becomes part of the patient's chart.
"We send patients home with the original," says Ms. Stalcup, a hospital chaplain. "We tell them to give copies to two people. It helps start the conversation. It is difficult for parents to have this conversation with their children. They can say, 'I know you don't want to talk about this, but I have already made my wishes known.'"
Peace of mind
Ms. Stalcup says people shouldn't wait until they're seriously ill to deal with the issue.
"We do believe that it is a spiritual decision as well as an emotional and physical one," she says. "The key is doing it when you don't really need to. Then you can make a decision out of faith and guidance instead of fear."
Mr. Malley says his organization hopes to convince the Texas Legislature to recognize the Five Wishes booklet as legally binding, as other states have. Meanwhile, he says, it can be a useful adjunct to the state-approved living will for a family's peace of mind.
"We're getting feedback from family members that this is immeasurably helpful," he says. "Not only in making decisions, but in knowing that they did the right thing."
"There are lots of families out there that had horror stories of having to make these life-and-death decisions without knowing what the person really wanted."

Phil's first first Raku firing... pics thereof.. haha.. enjoy!
Wow, what a night! Phil called about 9pm and told me to get a move on!! So, Ann and I loaded up the ole buggy with a camera and dashed off to Stillwater to Multigraphics. Phil is taking classes on (wish I knew the correct title! haha) how to make pottery, or sculpture with clay... and his first firing was about to happen. We arrived in time to see the final firing, and the "coming out" of the pieces. It is a cool process, and Ann loves this type of art too... She took classes in school for this art as well, along with painting, etc., She is where the kiddos get their artist ability, even as a step mom!! Anyway, there are now some photos of the event online in our photos section, along with a couple of videos! Sorry, one video is on it's side, I forgot to turn the camera, sigh... so it's my fault, but you can still see and get the idea of what was happening. There was one sad note.. and we caught it on the second video.. a piece was accidently dropped and broken. But beyond that it was a great event. His instructor is the nice lady in the green jacket. The fire reached temps around 2000 degrees and .. well I think it's time for Phil to take over telling you what happened in the photos.. I asked him to do such.. so we will see.. haha.. have a great day, and thanks Phil for calling and inviting us to your unveiling.. haha.. we loved it. Might have to put an art center in the old feed store, so all can play and enjoy things.. later.. enjoy the day!! the pics are a bit dark to show the colors of the flames and heat, etc..
Click on these pics to see larger version of them... keep forgetting to let folks know~~!!

Obedient Wife
There was a man who had worked all of his life, had saved all of his money, and was a real miser when it came to his money.
Just before he died, he said to his wife, "When I die, I want you to take all my money and put it in the casket with me. I want to take my money to the
afterlife with me."
And so he got his wife to promise him with all of her heart that when he died, she would put all of the money in the casket with him.
Well, he died. He was stretched out in the casket, his wife was sitting there in black, and her friend was sitting next to her. When they finished the ceremony, just before the undertakers got ready to close the casket, the wife said, "Wait just a minute!"
She had a box with her, she came over with the box and put it in the casket.
Then the undertakers locked the casket down, and they rolled it away. So her friend said, "Girl, I know you weren't fool enough to put all that money in there with your husband."
The loyal wife replied," Listen, I'm a Christian, I can't go back on my word. I promised him that I was going to put that money in that casket with him."
You mean to tell me you put that money in the casket with him!!!!?"
"I sure did," said the wife. "I got it all together, put it into my account and wrote him a check.
If he can cash it, he can spend it."

from Uncle Ivan.... rings a bell..... haha
To commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist Julie Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan's Radio City Music Hall for the benefit of the AARP.
One of the musical numbers she performed was "My Favorite Things" from the legendary movie "Sound Of Music."
However, the lyrics of the song were deliberately changed for the entertainment of her "blue hair" audience. Here are the lyrics she recited:
"Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Cadillacs and cataracts and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets, and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heat pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no fear of sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favorite things.
When the joints ache, when the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad."
Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over four minutes and repeated encores
