Shawn Schmeider, or "Schmiede", as his friends call him, is a redshirt freshman offensive lineman for the Florida Gators though he is smaller than the average lineman he still plays with enthusiasm and heart. He played football and basketball for Bishop John J. Snyder High School in Jacksonville, Florida. His number is 72.
Pea shake is a form of gambling found mostly in Indianapolis, Indiana. It is typically run out of ramshackle, inner-city residential or commercial buildings known as "pea-shake houses."
The winning numbers are based on the numbers written or painted on "peas," which are pea-sized balls numbered with a single-digit number. The peas are shaken from a container at least four times a day at each house. Ironically, a number of Indiana Lottery games are fashioned after pea-shake games, such as selecting winning combinations of three or four numbers, pull tabs and tickets.
People can pay from two cents and up to play pea-shake, and a winner can collect up to several thousand dollars, depending on how much money they put down.
A crackdown on pea-shake houses was announced by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department in April, 2007. In February state senator Glenn Howard had urged there be no crackdown, recognizing that the gambling was illegal but noting that it didn't hurt anybody.
