First of all... the disclaimer:
I am posting about what I did to build my own supply... your results may vary. Traxxas nor myself is responsible for your actions... if you get some crazy idea; take ownership of it!
Second of all; please read this entire thread before asking questions.
The answer you seek may have already been covered.
I chose a server power supply due to a couple of facts...
1) They do not dip down in voltage when pulling high amperage out of them
2) They are cheaper than most (if not all) ATX power supplies that will not voltage dip
3) They are more robust than ATX supplies
4) They have some very key safety features build in
eBay has LOTS of server power supplies available... they do not need to be new. Just because the server they were powering is out of date does not mean the power supply is out of date.
Unfortunately, most sellers will not respond to requests for pictures of the "business" end of the supply. So there is a bit of a gamble if the supply is even able to be converted unless the pictures of the business end is already there or you have read of someone converting a similar supply.
I was able to find both of mine for $15 shipped. That is about the cheapest I have ever read a pair of supplies going for... shipped at least. These buggers are not light, so shipping is going to be a killer if it is not included in the price. I would say an average price for a pair is between $20-30 shipped. Beware of the super cheap ones... they may be cheap for a reason; just be sure to do your homework before you purchase.
Be sure to add a few bucks in your budget for the proper wire, connections, ect. I have a total of $30 into my supply.
What to look for:
Pins and tabs. Some have circuit boards that stick out that slid into the server case. These are usable... but you must be comfortable soldering onto a circuit board and the solder joint must be good enough to carry the full load of the supply. The supplies with pins and tabs are a little easier to work with. Some have special sockets that may be impossible to use... depending on if the socket is removable/solderable.
Voltage and wattage. Obviously you are going to want one that is capable of supplying what you need. But, if you come across one that is a little on the weak side for the right price, these can be hooked up in parallel and series to fit what you need.
If you think you only need one, get two. If you ever need to hook two of these bad boys together, whether it be parallel or series, it is better for them to be identical. The easiest (and cheapest) way to get two identical power supplies is to get them at the same time from the same vendor. Worst case scenario... you have a backup.
Google the part number of the one you want... there just might be someone else that has bought it to convert it. This would be the absolute best case scenario as all the pinout work might be posted about it!! This search might also turn up some information on if it cannot be converted or if it is a "junk" supply.
There also might be a good shot of the business end... gotta love Google!
Server power supplies are designed to only be operational when they are installed into a server station. However, there is a way to trick the supply into thinking it has been installed through its' pins. You can see these pins in the pictures below.
Connecting 3-4 of these pins directly to one another will allow the supply to turn on. As far as I know, no two different power supplies have the same pinout. Some supplies have a pin that is a little bit shorter than the others... this is a good indicator that this is one of the pins that is required to be connected as it is the last one to slide into the station. Some supplies do not have this convenient feature and you will need to use a lot of trial and error to get your supply running. I was fortunate enough to get one of these supplies... it took me 45 minutes to get mine running... lol. To find my pinout I used a section of very fine gauge wire and start connecting them with the unit plugged in until it turned on.
There are two stages of activity for most power supplies... soft on; where the fans run at half speed but no power is produced... and full on; where fans run at full speed and full power is available. I found soft on before I found full on.
The fine gauge wire is used so that if a pair of pins that should not be connected get connected the wire will burn out before the supply is damaged. But, to be honest, the supply should shut itself down before any damage occurs; one of the many great safety features of a server power supply.
Once you get it powered up there are a few different ways to hook up...
1) Solder heavy gauge wire to mounted copper piping to use clamps that came with your charger
2) Solder heavy gauge wire to a row (or single) of 4mm jacks (pictured below)
3) I have seen where some have simply clamped onto the tabs
You can hook two (or three) of these up in series.
This will increase voltage while available amperage remains the same.
The benefit of this is feeding your charger high voltage means it has to to less work to feed your packs high amperage. (great for parallel charging)
To do this will require you to defeat the ground on one of the supplies. I chose to do this to the supply that feeds the negative side of my charger. If you do not defeat the ground, the supplies will not operate. I was able to defeat my ground by simply not hooking it up to the incoming AC. Some supplies have grounds elsewhere that must be defeated for this to work.
This, however, does not totally defeat the "direct short" safety feature. If you happen to touch or short out my two supplies together, they stop producing electricity, the fans slow to half speed, and the LED's will flash.
BUT, your results may vary... it is better to test before this feature is needed and take precautionary measures like cover the supplies (yet provide ventilation)
If the supplies you purchased are not up to the task of supplying your high amperage charger, connecting these in parallel will keep the voltage the same, but double the available amperage.
So you went really cheap on your supplies and you need to hook up two sets of two in series and then hook those two sets in parallel for one mega supply to power your needs.
If you have to ask how to do this... don't!!
Providing AC
I have seen a few hooked together where they have two plugs.
I chose to use just one plug and hooked the AC side in parallel.
AC power comes in from the IEC connection and feeds the positive supply power, neutral, and ground while there is a set of jumper wires that feed the negative supply only power and neutral.

In this shot you can see the positive (far left) wire heading toward the negative of the other supply. You can also see which three pins needed to be connected and that I cut all the unused pins off flush. (these all will be covered in liquid electrical tape)
I chose to squish my similar tabs together... also you can see I am using 8awg wire
Triple power tap... I can run 3 chargers at once; if I ever need to.
Here you can see the AC switch... I do not like hooking my charger to a live power supply; it might spark
AC in
Here you can see that I have the AC side connected in parallel so only one plug is needed

I have been using these for over a year at this point.
They have multiple 20 amp charges on them and have never gotten over 87°F sitting in a large box with no ventilation.
Is 1800watts overkill?
What's wrong with overkill??
I am hoping later this year to finish my other power supply... it will have selectable voltages!!
(3.3v, 5v, 6.6v, 8.3v, 10v, 12v, 15.3v, 17v, and 24v)
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Am I reading this right, did you just build a 75 amp 24volt PSU? That is one serious setup.
I built it a while ago... just never bothered to post anything about it until now.
And yes; 24 volt 75.7 amp power supply.
It dims my lights when I power it up
But I definitely agree with you... I doubt I will EVER outgrow this supply.

WOW... simply WOW.
Thanks for the compliments!!
Just wait until I finish the other supply. It will have relays to control current flow and it will be running in series or parallel depending on the way the switches are flipped. I am still working out the wiring schematic.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
OK cool. I'm definitely going to do this with the same servers. This is more for a cool factor and challenge then actual use(it will definitely get used no doubt). Plus you be pretty awesome at the track were you can have others run their chargers off your supply. I'll put it in the carrying case, remove the fans and install LED fan(blue is cooler) and somehow put a on and off switch by the input cable (just easier) and mount a G.T. Power Watt Meter. Now where would you get pc power cables and accessory? Also can you run 2 24volt chargers on this or just 1 and several 12volt? And can you take a pic of the hot swappable pin setup?

The number of chargers than can be ran is only limited by the amount the supply can provide.
So... in theory, this set will feed 14 12v 10a chargers with ease with proper connections.
It can also feed 3 24v 20a chargers. Or 2 24v 30a chargers...
Basically you just need to stay under the amperage supply threshold.
The other supplies I used:
40 Ft. Retractable Cord Reel
I have modified this to have the pronged AC plug on the retractable side and a right angle IEC on the stationary side. (this is also used to power my camper)
Right Angle IEC
Banana Plug Jack
Some 6.5mm bullet connectors that I cannot link to.
A chunk of 3.8 soft copper pipe.
and some scrap angle iron I had.
Pictures of the pinout are above.

Got 4 dell 58amps 700watt Server power supply 25 shipped. 1400watts at 58amps should be well enough for anything. I know their in a dial you can make slight voltage adjustments. Might do 12.8 volt for each supply. Any updates Jimmie?

Sorry I did not see your post...
No updates... life is busy!!
I do hope to get to finalizing the case within the next few weeks though...

Nice, While i got time on my hands still, I have done the sony ps3 mod and would like to have a go at one of these.

Nice. The flow of electrons leads to technology.

Hi Jimmie, by coincidence, I have the exact same 930W Dell Server PS (D3014 Mod 7000815-0000). We were scrapping an old Dell Poweredge 2800 server at work and I ended up with (2) of these nice power supplies.
Thanks for the detailed information that you provided for us here but can you provide more detailed info on the Pin-Outs that need to be used? The photos are very difficult to make out and I'd rather not go the trial & error route with small wire If I can help it. P.S. I am only utilizing (1) of these at a time. The 2nd unit is just for a spare, or in case I need 24V down the road.
These are very hearty units indeed... I imagine you will be pleased!!
Before you do anything with the pins, double check that these are the ones.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Thanks Very Much for the Speedy Reply!
So instead of starting a new thread I thought I might add to this one. I bought myself a pair of these same supplies in efforts to make a similar 24V power supply.
Jimmie as always was extremely helpful with questions I had.
I wanted to add a little tid bit to the info he has given. I looked on some other forums concerning SPS's and found that certain supplies had the ability to slow down the fans when an additional pin was connected so I began to probe around and here is what I've found:
Using the same power supplies Jimmie has discussed above you can in fact connect an additional pin and it slows the fans down to a more tolerable noise level while still moving a good bit of air without having to split the cases to add a resistor to the fans.
Is it enough to keep the supplies cool while performing a high amperage charge? I don't know as I'm still in the tinkering stages.
However, by simply connecting an additional pin to the other 3 pins already tied together (as described by Jimmie) along with a switch the supplies now have a 2 speed fan arrangement. With the switch open, fans run on "high", with the switch closed the fans run on "low."
If you were to cram the supplies into a box in efforts to make a more portable charging solution to take to the track or out in the field I would suggest keeping the fans on high. JMO if your outside who cares about noise?
As Jimmie states in his first post if you attempt any of this you must take responsibility for your actions, anything involving electricity can be potentially dangerous.
That being said I also want to add that when these supplies are wired in series the steel cases CANNOT touch each other or they will arc due to the internal wiring of the supplies. If you probe the supply cases with the leads of your multimeter they read 12VDC.
Enough rambling. Here's the pin out. Notice the red pins are the same as Jimmies above. The green pin is the one that slows the fans down when connected. Add a switch and boom pow you now have a two speed fan.

I might also add that the direct short protection on the supplies' outputs still functions normally.

Beautiful addition to the thread... wish I had found that pin before I snapped all of mine off flush. lol
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Thanks Jimmie. Couldn't have done it without your help.
There was also a guy who took it one step further and installed an LM34DZ temperature sensor instead of a switch so his fan speed was basically thermally controlled.
For now I'm happy with the switch but as the hobby goes I'll undoubtedly get bit by the tinkering bug and might have to give it a whirl.

Nice work guys, those look great. I went a little different route, I used a power supply out of a camper. I got two of the same ones, they are rated to 70 amps. I only use one right now and the other is a spare. They are programable up to 15.5 volts, low voltage cutout, and over amp protect. It works pretty good, I run two chargers, most of the time and can run three if need be. I guess there is always more than one way to skin a cat as they say.
Rusty 2.5R,T-max 2.5 & 3.3,Summit VXL Nitro 4-tec
ok guys i work at a server supply company. i was wondering if it has to be a dell PE2800 ps. as i have a wide assortment of these. ibm, hp, compaq, cisco, and dell, also some older stuff. like as400 and rs6000 platform stuff. but given the right amout of information and possibly some help i think i might be able to do something like this but i dont have the use for something that massive. i know lipos could charge faster but i would like to keep my nimh batteries not exploding on me. i could on the other hand assist some of you with some information. please pm me for that sort of stuff. as i dont want to get in trouble on here.

They sound like what may be needed for some of the super-powerful chargers that are coming out.
(some are requiring a minimum of 30v to operate at full output)
Google the part number of the one you want... there just might be someone else that has bought it to convert it. This would be the absolute best case scenario as all the pinout work might be posted about it!! This search might also turn up some information on if it cannot be converted or if it is a "junk" supply.

I will have to look, I got them out of old campers in a junk yard. I know they are both the same model.
Rusty 2.5R,T-max 2.5 & 3.3,Summit VXL Nitro 4-tec
if anyone is interested in some sort of a power supply let me know the part number. i may be able to help you out. i know this is thread jacking but i can and am willing to help.
3908 emaxx, brushed... slash 2wd... whats next?
Google search trumps Wiki. Refer to user guide.
Anyone do anything with this? I have a few of these power supplies that I would like to convert. Please let me know if anyone has done anything more.
Which part? The temp sensor?
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.
Well im not too concerned about the temp sensor. Putting a switch across B2 and A3 slowed the fan down to a tolerable level. I was just curious to know weather anyone has been running this on lipo chargers. I want to know if the voltage stays above 12v with a load.
I have this PSU setup the same way you have it set up right now. I had it running for about an hour with 5 120mm fans each pulling around 1amp each.. I shut it down to take the volt meter off the line because I was testing amp's.. After trying to turn it back on, all I get is a yellow caution light in the back but no power..
Just slowing the fans down is not a good idea.
I have been using two in series, as shown in this thread, for over a year now with countless 20 amp charges. Not sure of how many amps I have been pulling, but I have definitely not seen any voltage dip.
If the caution light is on, something is not right. Make sure your connections are still solid... not sure if you soldered them or what, but a poor connection can cause issues.
Also, 5 amp load test is not much of a test for a 75 amp power supply.
Whatever it is I just typed... could be wrong.

How can you sell anything if customers can't find you? SEO, which is short for Search Engine Optimization, is really important for your ecommerce store. In a nut shell, SEO is the process of improving the visibility of a website or online store in search engines. Why is that important? Because the higher you rank in search engines, the more traffic and potential customers get driven to your store.
There is no one size fits all strategy for SEO, and online store owners need to carefully assess their site to develop a customized SEO strategy and action plan to improve their search engine presence and traffic to their online store.
Here are 10 crucial SEO tips for ecommerce stores:
1. Don't Rely Only on Pay Per Click (But Also Don't Forget it)While many ecommerce sites fall back on a pay per click (PPC) strategy to create visibility for their store, the truth is that PPC costs continue to go up and once you stop paying for placement, your online presence disappears.
Also, some customers have an inherent distrust of sponsored links, banners, and other online ads. Ecommerce stores cannot solely rely on a PPC strategy and need to also implement organic SEO practices to help with their online visibility.
That said, recent Google research shows that when some web sites stopped using AdWords, 89% of the paid clicks did not shift over to organic, SEO clicks. So make sure you do use pay per click in addition to SEO.
2. Avoid Duplicate ContentDuplicate content is the enemy for search engines. However, since many ecommerce stores have a large amount of duplicate content as a result of product descriptions and lists, ecommerce sites tend to get penalized by search engines.
Therefore, online store owners need to assess their website and look for ways to reduce the amount of redundant and duplicate content that is present on their website. Careful usage of the rel="canonical" tag can help avoid these problems as well.
Shopify themes can automatically insert the rel="canonical" tag on all pages using one line of code. Learn how to use canonical URLs with Shopify.
3. Have a Content StrategyConsistently adding unique and high quality content on a regular basis to your ecommerce site will not only add additional value for users, it will also help with your search engine ranking. Consider using your and add content that's related to the products and services that you sell.
All Shopify stores automatically include a fully functioning blogging platform that you can use to publish such content.
4. Don't use the Manufacturer Product DescriptionsBuilding your product database can be a time consuming process, and in an attempt to save time, many online store owners simply copy and paste the manufacturer's product descriptions onto their website.
This is an SEO no-no! Always re-write every single product description to ensure that it is unique and search engine friendly. Remember to use several words that people are most likely to search for.
5. Optimize Product ImagesImage search has become a very popular function that internet users are increasingly using to find products online. Therefore, ecommerce websites need to add related keywords into the ALT tags of every image on their website. Here's a blog post on how to setup ALT tags on Shopify.
For optimal effect, make sure that every keyword used for an image is directly relevant and avoid stuffing keywords into the alt tags.

6. Have Unique Meta Descriptions for Every WebpageWhen it comes to onsite optimization, many ecommerce stores think that it's enough to use the same meta descriptions for each page. However, this is another SEO faux-pas! The meta description should be written for humans with the goal of helping your store get clicked once it shows up in search engines.
7. Include Product ReviewsSince unique content is extremely important when it comes to SEO, having a field for users to add their product reviews is a great passive way to generate unique content for your ecommerce store.
8. Link to your Products from the Home PageA common error made by many ecommerce sites is burying their product pages deep within their link structure. This will not only make it more difficult for users to find products, it will also impact the product pages PageRank score, making those pages less likely to appear high in search.
Having product content only a link away from your home page will make them easier for both the search engines as well as your customers.
9. Optimize the Anchor TextAdding keywords to the internal links on your website will help to enhance your stores visibility in search engines. Rather than using the typical "click here" link, link from text that includes the keywords the page you are linking to is trying to rank for. For example, instead of writing "click here to visit Shopify, the best ecommerce platform," write "visit Shopify, the best ecommerce platform."
Also, consider adding keyword rich links within the product descriptions to link to other similar products on your website.
10. Organize your Online Store for SEOThe way that you structure your store will impact its visibility. Consider structuring your ecommerce store so that it includes a number of landing pages. These pages can be specific to a brand or product type. Doing this gives you the opportunity to optimize for multiple pages and keyword groups, which will increase your site's visibilty in search.

Great post. Rewriting product descriptions also gives you a chance to add a little of your very own personal flair to the content. When done right, that can help differentiate you from others who might be offering similar products. Think PERSONALITY.
March 21 2012, 02:31PM
Meh, nothing new.
March 21 2012, 03:29PMis important, and so often overlooked. Duplicate content that is not properly tagged (canonical) will dilute your rankings, or worse confuse your shoppers when they land in a deep forgotten corner of your site – and miss the focused landing page.
Worse, duplicate content across domains (See #4, retailers). Google is already on the record that this tactic will have a negative impact on your search ranking. Often blog posts and product descriptions are guilty of this (i.e. poaching blocks of text from across the internets), and your time saving good intentions are rewarded with sewered search rankings.
The most important point above, is #3. Have a content strategy and stick to it, use it as a performance indicator across your org, get everyone pitching in. Reward top performers like sales people.

Hi Mark,
Can you extrapolate on point number 10 – landing pages? I'm about to purchase Shopify, but wonder how landing pages work as there does not seem to be a template in the themes.

The duplicate content issue is the crucial one.
Have to admit we fell into the product descriptions trap in the early days. It comes as a bit of a shock the day you learn that your product descriptions are duplicated on over 10,000 other websites.
January 18 2013, 08:13AM
In regards to the canonical tag and duplicate content…
By implementing this tag, doesn't it render interlinking products (via the related products and collections sections) useless from an SEO standpoint?
Wouldn't it be ideal to have related links between related products pass link juice to each other? SEO 101 right there.
Shouldn't there be a rewrite mechanism built into the cart that directs all versions of the page to the products main page? No matter how many places or sections it appears on the site, the links should all go to one single page.
Isn't this what wordpress does? I know Pinnacle Cart does this because that's what I'm currently using (but am unhappy with it for many other reasons). I was hoping with Shopify being so advanced in many other ares this would be one of the things they could fix.
Can you let us know if this is an improvement Shopify will be implementing in future releases?
I was really hopeful of making the switch from Pinnacle Cart to Shopify, but this might be the deal breaker.

Wonderful tips. Actually, this was a great piece of information when you posted it. However, the new update to Google's ranking process, I mean Penguin 2.0, has decreased the importance of some of the points you made under this article. In this regard, when you say, "Adding keywords to the internal links on your website will help to enhance your store's visibility in search engines. Rather than using the typical "click here" link, link from text that includes the keywords the page you are linking to is trying to rank for." I think better will be to invest the most around putting helpful content on a website, using high-quality comments for supporting the acceptability of back links, etc. Why Google will be high rank you high unless it does not fall that you have put high-quality content on your blog and website. And, finally yet the most importantly, why blog owners will accept your comments and back links until they do not find your content and comments interesting? Think about it.

Pay Per Click is still a good tool to gain visitors for your E-commerce activity. Before adopting it, you should know how to convert a visitor into a customer.

H! Mark,
I think you forget to mention the below factors to your blog.
Related product, Proper url structure, Product variations, Related product, Remove Out of stock items etc.
May 21 2014, 02:01AM
Pay per Click could be a huge sink of money.
If you know enough about your products yourself and can write about it I'd suggest sticking to creating content and give it time to flourish.
PPC is not rocket science, but has enough caveats to distract you from your business. Better hire a pro.

Similar to what Brad Fitzpatrick mentioned, your understanding of Canonical tags is flawed. The intention of the canonical tag is to direct all duplicate content's SEO value at the original/main content on the site.
So for example, if you were to have multiple versions of a product with minor differences, the copy would be mostly duplicate. In this case only one page should be self referring in the rel canonical (the main product), and all of the minor variations would point the rel canonical at the main products URL.
Your description of "careful usage" of rel canonical tags followed up with the fact that they are automatic does not make any sense, if you can't customize where the tag points, how can there be careful usage? You really need to fix this, as duplicate content is becoming increasingly more of a focus of search engines, and the SEO penalties are costing your users real money.

This is a good post for beginners but there are more crucial tips and tricks that one needs to consider with an online store.
What if you a product with multiple colours or sizes? Most create a new product with the same content. The fix is to either use variations and have one product or use canonical tags to ensure that the variations point to the main product.
Just my two cents but you need to ensure that your own site doesnt have duplicate versions.

It's a great that people want to understand some of the technical tips and tricks that can help in ranking higher on search engines, but solely focusing on the topics covered in this article can be very problematic.
Upon being satisfied with the look and feel of their new site, many new ECommerce business owners jump straight into paying for advertising on Facebook/Google etc. and hire some snake oil dealing SEO agency that promises to up their rankings. Sure, you probably get some short term traffic from ads and an SEO agency will probably iron out the kinks in your theme/the way you structure content with some lasting benefits – but is this really the best way to drive traffic and build a foundation for your brand long term?
People tend to overlook one of the most basic and oldest means of driving traffic – word of mouth. It's no secret, Google ranks your website in search based on what other people on the internet are saying about your website (think backlinks) over time. A temporary AD or the changes an SEO agency makes to your home site doesn't really affect what other people are saying about you across the internet in the long term.
This brings me to my point, no secret in the industry, that PR has become a huge huge huge part of modern SEO. Creating, curating, and placing (PR) good content is so so important. It's not longer how much something is being said, but how many people are saying it, what people are saying it and where it is being said. It is true that traditional marketing is dead in the forms it previously existed, but that doesn't mean that human nature has completely changed.
You are your best promoter, get the word out!
For those in the fashion industry we have compiled a thorough list of media contacts that should help you when it is time to tell the story of your brand/product. This list is in it's second iteration compiled by hand through the blood, sweat, and tears. A truly invaluable asset in willing hands.

The best practice of product title & description writing is to add a high search volume with low competitive keywords to rank a product quickly. Emotional and engaging product description really drives most potential traffic. you should emphasize more on benefits than features. Thanks

Ross Tennis Champs
Henry Lee and Felipe Reis of the Ross School won the Suffolk County boys doubles championship at Smithtown East High School Friday, upsetting the tourney's top seeds, Chris Hunter and Eric Bertuglia of Half Hollow Hills East 1-6,7-6, 7-5. Ross now has three county champions — Lee and Reis, and Nadia Smergut, who won the county's girls singles title last fall.
Ross's team, second behind Hills East, was to have begun play in the county team tournament in its bubble yesterday with the Longwood-Northport winner. Barring disaster, Ross is to play two more home matches — today and tomorrow — before Tuesday's final at Smithtown East.
Bonac Teams
East Hampton High's baseball team, seeded eighth in the county's Class A bracket, was to have played ninth-seeded Islip here on Tuesday. Originally, the game was to have been played here Monday, but rain caused a postponement.
The winner was to have played at top-seeded Sayville yesterday. The double elimination tournament is to continue through next Thursday.
East Hampton's softball team, the eighth seed in that tournament's Class A bracket, is to play a first-round game at top-seeded Kings Park today at 4 p.m. The winner is to play the Miller Place-Islip winner on Saturday at 2 p.m. A best-of-three final series is to begin Wednesday.
Pierson Teams
Pierson's softball team is to begin a best-of-three Class C final series at Port Jefferson tomorrow at 4 p.m. The second game is to be played Tuesday, and a third game, if necessary, is to be played Wednesday.
The Whalers' baseball team, seeded second among the Class C schools, was to have played a home game with third-seeded Port Jefferson yesterday. The winner is to play at top-seeded McGann-Mercy this afternoon. The two losing teams are to play each other tomorrow at the site of the higher seed. Class C's final best-of-three series is to begin Tuesday.
Youth Lacrosse
East Hampton's second and third-grade lacrosse team coached by Chris Stewart finished the season undefeated Sunday, besting Eastport-South Manor 8-2. Christian Johnson led the way with four goals. J.B. Stewart and Logan Gurney each had two.
Michael Sabin tended the goal. "He's been outstanding all season," said Stewart, who added that "Jackson Baris anchored our defense, as he has all season."
Stewart, who received a Gatorade dunking, and his charges celebrated afterward at the La Superica restaurant in Sag Harbor.
P.A.L. Football
A second registration session for East Hampton's Police Athletic League football teams is to be held at East Hampton High School's football field Saturday from 9:30 to 11 a.m.
Five 7-through-13-year-old teams (including a new all-seventh-grade one) made up of youngsters living between Montauk and Bridgehampton are to play this fall. The Web site ehyfootball.com has more information.
E.H.I.T. Tennis
The following were winners and runners-up in leagues at the East Hampton Indoor Tennis Club this past winter:
Mariano Castillo and Rich Swanson, Monday men's A singles; Barbarta Mueller and Kelly Canavan, Thursday women's A singles; Glen Lawton and Jack Graves, Thursday men's A doubles.
Diana Cochran and Wendy Kalkstein, Monday women's A doubles; Dave Olson and Chris LaGuardia, Tuesday men's B-plus singles; Christine Kuhl and Wendy Flanagan, Thursday women's B-plus singles; Dawn Harvey and Julie Stavola, Tuesday women's B-plus singles.
Chuck Kraus and Dom Magat, Monday men's B singles; John Ali and Richard Louie, Thursday men's B doubles; Teresa Pascual and Koral Gregor, Monday women's B doubles; Heather McCormack and Fran Powell, Tuesday women's B doubles, and Jim McMullen and Harvey Reid, Tuesday men's retired doubles.

After three days of hard work, AfriSIG officially ended last Friday. Participants, certificate in pocket, are getting ready to get back to their countries and translate the ever changing and evolving world of internet governance into a language meaningful to their constituencies: colleagues at the parliament or regulatory agency, media organisations, academic centres, NGOs.
Looking at the evolution of the internet allows one to understand better how it works, and that's why an entire session was devoted to its history. If he had to chose a birthday for the internet, Professor Wolfgang Kleinwachter wouldn't pick 5 December 1969, the day when computers in Standford, Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and Utah were connected through a non-hierarchical network for the first time. As he explained at the the school last Thursday, he would pick 4 October 1957: the day the Russians launched the first artificial satellite and the United States started planning a defense strategy to decentralise communications systems to avoid a military attack. What they needed was a non-hierarchical network, and explains why even today the internet is so difficult to control.
Professor Kleinwachter presented a useful chronology of the internet, structured in five ways: military (1957-1970s); academic (1970s-1990s); commercial (1990s-2000); the internet of the masses (2000-2010); and the internet of everybody and everything (2010+). To complement this view, APC's Mike Jensen offered an African perspective: during the 80s and 90s, groups of techies and activists started to take an active part in building these networks. In South Africa, for example, the NGO SANGONeT had the first connection to the internet outside academia and it actually provided connectivity to the private sector, helping them to generate new business.
During another session, Bill Drake underscored the need for thinking about internet governance from a holistic perspective. Internet governance, he stressed, involves a process of steering and not a relationship of authority in the realm of international institutions such as the International Telecommunications Union or ICANN. He gave an overview of the different actors at stake such as international bodies, national governments, trade agreements and end users.
In subsequent sessions the discussion went back to names (as in "domain names"), and Dr. Edmund Katiti gave a presentation on the history of the dotAfrica (.africa) Top Level Domain (TLDs), currently under review by ICANN. Why is it so important, asked one of the participants, what goes after the final dot in an url? "Identity," answered presenter Nnenna Nwakanma. "It allows you to brand yourself as African." Adiel Akplogan, of AfriNIC, underscored the business aspect of having tis kind of TLDs saying, "they allow economic ecosystems of domain management to grow. They can bring new ideas and generate innovation."
The last day of the school started with a focus on human rights. The balance between privacy and security, a topic that the majority of participants identified as a main priority for their countries, generated a heated discussion. Alex Comninos and Gbenga Sesan presented the research they did in South Africa and Nigeria on internet intermediary liability. They illustrated the impact on user's human rights and also in business if governments made them liable for the behaviour of third parties on the internet, which took the group towards more conceptual discussions. As Anriette Esterhuysen, from APC, pointed out,"are governments acting upon the internet by surveilling communications and filtering content because it's easier and cheaper than dealing with the problems off-line?"

Sunscreens protect the skin against sunburns. Sunscreens also play an important role in blocking the penetration of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which damages the skin and can lead to skin cancer. However, no sunscreen blocks UV radiation 100 percent.
The terminology used on sunscreen labels can be confusing. The protection provided by a sunscreen is indicated by the sun protection factor (SPF) listed on the product label. A sunblock is considered to be any sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more. In theory, sunscreens protect an individual during an incident of ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation exposure according to the following:
SPF 15 sunscreen may absorb more than 92 percent of UVB radiation.
SPF 30 sunscreen may absorb 97 percent of UVB radiation.
A sunscreen protects from sunburn and minimizes suntan by reflecting UV rays. Using sunscreens correctly is important in protecting the skin. Consider the following:
Use of a sunscreen with SPF of 20 to 30 offers substantial protection against sunburns, and usually prevents tanning.
Choose a broad spectrum sunscreen that filters out ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB).
A sunscreen that provides an SPF under 4 offers the least protection. If you rarely burn and always tan, this level of skin protection may be sufficient to help prevent burning and uneven coloration.
Sunscreens with high SPF sunscreens protect from burning for longer periods of time than do sunscreens with lower SPFs.
Apply sunscreens to all exposed areas of skin, including those easily overlooked areas such as the rims of the ears, lips, back of the neck, and feet.
Sunscreens are recommended for everyone (over 6 months of age), regardless of skin or complexion type, because all skin types need protection from solar UV rays. Lighter skin types are at the greatest risk of developing skin cancer; but all people are at some risk. Research has shown that UVA rays may contribute to premature aging and skin cancer.
Apply sunscreen liberally. The recommended dose is one ounce per application. Reapply every two hours, after being in the water, or after exercising or sweating. Incidental time in the sun could add up to a sunburn. Do not forget the time spent walking your dog, window shopping, or jogging on your lunch hour.
Do not forget the sunscreen when performing outdoor chores.

Skip to comments.Good news from Chris Rock: Obama is sort of our dad and our boss
Posted on 02/06/2013 9:00:57 PM PST by chessplayer
Via the Examiner, the only thing that makes this slightly less creepy than Demi Moores famous pledge of allegiance to The One is the fact that Rock can always plead its a joke later on. Is it, though? If you wanted a concise explanation of why liberals are suddenly A-OK with kill lists and drone strikes, you could do worse than this.
Exit question: Is the president still our dad and our boss when hes a Republican?
Chris Rock: Obama 'boss' of America, president and Michelle Obama 'mom and dad'
is not any kind of "father figure."
Slave mentality? That's what it sounds like to me.
He is our wannabe national cult leader. Along the lines of murder planners, terrorists and civil unrest exploiters that also include Bill Ayres and Charles Manson. Not to mention all of his czar appointees who are unapolegetic admirers of Mao who probably had 80 million of his own citizens killed.
Hey Chris - with all due respect, FU! My Dad, God rest his soul, was a real man. He was a far better man, far better role model than hussein could ever hope to be. He served in the military, worked nearly every day of his life. Built his own business from nothing. Provided for us and raised a stable, loving family. If my Dad were alive today hussein wouldn't be qualified to sweep the sidewalk for him. My Dad had a saying for people like hussein - north end of a southbound horse.
i consider him to be a foreigner and a marxist and a traitor.
glad chris rock and i don't share "dads".
Now we know why Everyone really hates Chris.
Same with my Dad. Served 25 years in military, honest as the day was long, humble, built his own business after the military and it's still thriving today, even though he is gone. When he saw someone in need he was there to help—he didn't need anyone to prod him, he just did it and did it quietly. He wasn't a braggart like that joker in the white house He was, like your Dad ThunderSleeps, a REAL MAN!
Not many dads taking care of their children. Not many children growing up and getting a real job (drug pusher is not a real job). Fantasy dads and employers don't do it.
Stop and think, he probably doesn't know who his dad is.
My dad was a Texan!!!
..... HAHAHAHAHA .... Mr. Rock is so funny. A true legend in his own mind. Perhaps someone should tell this poor uneducated soul .... that this is a nation .... "OF the people .... BY the people .... and FOR the people!!!
.... Yup ..... the guy that he calls our "Dad" and our "Boss" ..... is actually by the constitution .... THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND ..... the one that works for US ... "The PEOPLE."
...... In short .... WE are HIS boss. This concept has been seemingly lost .... but should not be forgotten by us all ... as our country collapses around and is stolen from us by the one that he calls our Boss ... who by law .... is our servant.
...... Is there anybody that will rise up amongst us all to stop this insanity?
What's pathetic and what demonstrates how race trumps all with some people is that Chris Rock was raised by good parents who stayed married to each other. Rock had a REAL father, yet he's still happy to see a black politician as his "Dad".
If this dictator is dad, it's time to call Child Protective Services.
Chris Rock is America's village idiot.
Dad,Boss,Massa, What difference does it make now? At least that seems to be what some of theses people think. I guess it's OK to have a Massa as long as he's the same color as them.
Last time Chris Rock was funny was 20 years ago.
That is an effing joke.

A Sydney man whose car mounted a kerb and hit a mother and her newborn baby has escaped a jail sentence and instead will do 50 hours of community service.
Magistrate Graeme Curran disqualified Bryce Wayland from driving for 15 months and ordered him to conduct manual labour in Downing Centre Local Court on Monday.
"I don't consider jail appropriate," he said.
Mr Curran said despite negligence in this "undeniable tragedy" there was a low level of culpability and Mr Wayland was "no doubt very remorseful."
Mr Wayland declined to comment when he left the court.
Mr Wayland, 27, of Queenscliff, was found guilty of negligent driving occasioning grievous bodily harm last year after a horror accident in which his Lexus sedan ploughed into Emma De Silva, 36, at St Peters in south Sydney on March 14, 2011.
Ms De Silva, 36, who was pushing her 19-day-old baby girl in a pram, suffered serious head injuries and her infant was also injured.
In an earlier court hearing, Mr Curran said the events of March 14, 2011 were "tragic by any measure".
"They are tragic for Ms De Silva who sustained catastrophic injuries that have devastated her life," Mr Curran said.
"[They are] also tragic for the effect that her injuries had on her child, husband, her family and friends."
The court heard Ms De Silva was in a coma for eight weeks after the accident, suffered brain damage and can no longer walk without assistance.
"The events have also undoubtedly left [Mr Wayland] distressed and disturbed," Mr Curran said.
"No-one is left untouched by the appalling outcome of the events."
After the incident, Mr Wayland told police he mounted the kerb after the accelerator pedal in the car became caught under a floor-mat and jammed.
The court heard from other Lexus car owners who said they had experienced similar problems.
Mr Curran accepted Mr Wayland's accelerator got jammed.
But he found the accident might have been avoided if Mr Wayland had applied the brakes.

As the weather finally becomes mild, the word picnic has returned to my vocabulary, and I've started mentally collecting good recipes for outdoor eating. Not all tasty dishes make tasty picnic fare, but fortunately, most pasta salads will do the trick—especially if they taste good at room temperature, like this one. I love how filling soba noodles are, and they still match well with light sauces and green veggies, as in this recipe. The sauce is simple but flavorful, and the asparagus and edamame are a beautiful, springy contrast to the dark noodles. Try to get your hands on some of the lovely asparagus that's out there while it's still super fresh. And happy picnicking! Recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook.

Colorado Wildfire: Lower North Fork Fire poses health risks with smoke
Smoke from wildfires that burn in well-populated, exurban foothill communities like the current Jeffco blaze can pose risks even to healthy people, authorities warn.
"Smoke can hurt your eyes, irritate your respiratory system, and worsen chronic heart and lung diseases," Jeffco Public Health is saying today. Symptoms can include coughing, scratchy throat, stinging eyes, exacerbated asthma, headaches, chest pain and more.
One person is already dead in relation to the fire, though the cause has not yet been released. Taking this fire seriously is now a given.

STERLING – The Golden Warriors kept coming up with big plays to extend the game, but it was the Ottawa Pirates who came up with the biggest one.
Cody Stokes split a pair of free throws after his offensive rebound with 2 seconds left in the second overtime Tuesday night at Musgrove Fieldhouse, providing the winning margin in the Pirates' 61-60 victory.
"We kept giving ourselves chances, but they just made one more play than we did," Sterling coach Jim Preston said. "I thought the kids showed resiliency after falling behind early, and they played with enthusiasm and intensity and spirit and stayed positive.
"Ottawa's a good team. They've made a lot of big plays this year, and credit to them for making another one tonight."
Stokes (6 points, 5 rebounds) came up with just Ottawa's fourth offensive rebound on the final possession of the game, pulling down John Carroll's miss and getting fouled on his putback attempt.
After missing the first free throw, he sank the knee-knocking second one, as the ball swished through the net.
"The rebound kind of just came to me, after Sterling clogged the lane to stop John's drive to the basket," Stokes said. "I wanted to hit both free throws, but I was happy to get at least one."
"Cody's been a playmaker for us all year, coming up big defensively and hitting key shots," Ottawa coach Mark Cooper said, "and he's made a lot of plays late in games. Tonight, he comes up with the free throw to make the difference."
Each team called a timeout after the free throw, then Stokes poked away Sterling's inbounds pass for the steal to seal the deal.
"I knew I had to get at least a touch on the ball when they threw it in, just to start the clock and take time off the clock," Stokes said. "I played it safe at first, kind of held back so they couldn't throw it over my head, then sprinted forward when the pass was short. Luckily I tipped it away, and they couldn't recover it in time."
Sterling (8-12, 2-3 NIB-12 West) erased a 47-43 deficit in the final 3 minutes of regulation, as Zach Rehmert (18 poins, 5 rebounds) hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key before Sterling Thornton (20 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals, 2 blocks) poked away the ball for a steal and converted a layup on the other end to tie the game at 48 with 1:40 to play.
Ottawa (15-3, 4-1) ran clock on its final two possessions, and Sterling couldn't get a shot off in the final seconds after the Pirates came up empty when Thornton blocked a shot in the lane.
In overtime, Carroll (17 points, 6 rebounds) scored Ottawa's first six points as the Pirates took a 54-49 lead with 2 minutes left. But Cornell Hartz and Thornton each scored on drives to the basket. Stokes hit a pair of free throws shortly after missing a pair to give Ottawa a 56-53 lead with 1:11 to go, but Hartz found Thornton for an open 3 from the right wing 8 seconds later to tie the game at 56.
After Ottawa's J.D. Bryant (18 points) missed a shot in the lane with 44 seconds left, Sterling ran the clock down and called timeout with 10.4 seconds left. But once again, Thornton's shot came after the buzzer, sending things into another OT.
"We were excited that we kept getting back into the game, just living to fight another quarter," Thornton said, "and we really wanted to capitalize on it. We're pretty smart basketball-wise, and it was second nature to us to keep fighting, but we just came up a little short."
Sterling scored first in the second overtime, as Micah Miller put back a Rehmert miss for a 58-56 lead. But Nick Harsted answered for Ottawa, scoring in the lane twice – the second time after recovering a loose ball – for a 60-58 lead with 3:05 remaining.
Rehmert hit both ends of a 1-and-1 with 1:32 to go to tie it up, then both teams turned the ball over inside the final minute. Sterling's came with 14 seconds left, setting up Ottawa's final possession.
"Sterling made a lot of plays to keep the game going and getting opportunities to win," Cooper said, "and we were very fortunate to come up with that offensive rebound and get sent to the line."
"We played a good game, but it wasn't enough," Thornton said. "Now, we have to use this to put a fire in our guts to come back strong and win the next game."

Brick Residents Victimized By Telephone Scams
Brick Township Police issue a warning after several residents and business owners reported getting duped by scam artist.
The incidents, according to police, happened over the last week involving telephone financial scams.
Officials said in one of the instances, a local business was advised by a caller that JCP&L would disconnect their electric service unless they sent a significant amount of money via prepaid money cards. However, police say JCP&L does not use outside companies to handle their disconnect services, do not request people to pay via money cards and do not request personal information over the phone.
In another scam a resident provided a fake charity with their checking account information when they were advised that they had previously promised to make donations. Police said several thousand dollars were removed from the resident's account before the scam was discovered.
Residents are being reminded to never give any of their personal information over the phone or the internet. If you are contacted by anyone requesting this type of information, Police ask that you try to record their telephone number and verify as best you can.
If you have any questions about a caller, Brick Police invite you to call them at the Township Police Department at 732-262-1100.

Inglenook Napa Valley Rubicon 2009
96% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 1 % Merlot. 17 months in French oak. Wine maker Stephane Derenoncourt.
I have had countless bottles of California wine and truly can say this is an exceptional example of the best that California can offer.
The deep purple color with a nose expressing blackcurrant, berries, cherries and spice is followed by an opulent mouthful of balanced and complex flavor with a long powerful and elegant finish.
The wine was decanted for 4 hours prior to consumption.
This wine would cellar forever but I am not a collector, I am a consumer so my bottles will be enjoyed while they are relatively young.
Highly recommended to all.

The drawdown from Afghanistan could cost far more than imagined
There will be a "final act" in the NATO-led counter-insurgency operation in Afghanistan: In 2015 or later, a logistician will place a customs seal on a container or a pallet of equipment, and it will be loaded onto a truck or an aircraft for movement to an Afghan location where it can be aggregated for shipment back to Europe or the U.S.
Signs are already emerging that the costs of this operation could well be far higher than had been expected.
Recent U.K. figures released to Parliament suggest the average cost of moving a classic 20-ft. ISO container from Afghanistan back to Britain would be £5,000-12,000 ($8,000-19,000) for a land-transported container, and £10,000-30,000 by air directly back to the U.K. or flown to a staging point and then moved by rail or sea.
This is far higher than previously released data that estimated £4,000 for a ground/rail-shipped ISO container, and £8,000 for airlift. The U.K. has somewhere around 12,000-15,000 ISO containers worth of equipment in Afghanistan, together with more than 500 vehicles. As all "warlike equipment," or sensitive items that the allies do not want to "go missing" en route to their native countries will have to be moved by air, the costs already were high.
A rough calculation of the move for the U.K., puts it at £200 million for the container-loads, and an extra £50-75 million for outsized airlift. This compares with an original bill of "around £100 million pounds." These calculations assume that everything runs smoothly for any drawdown, and there is not an overwhelming reliance on air movements. But that might be a tall order: 80% of all equipment with British forces in Afghanistan today was moved by air, because ground lines of communication were just not there.
Meanwhile, other Helmand-based NATO forces have 4,000-6,000 containers' worth of equipment, and 400-plus vehicles. The total U.S. military presence in Afghanistan has a footprint of some 20,000 containers of equipment, and 30,000-40,000 vehicles of all types.
The planning and execution of the drawdown are complicated by several interlocking factors. First, since all NATO members in Afghanistan are talking about the same time frame, there is a worry among the different logistics commands that there could be "contractual fratricide"—in effect, all NATO forces will be bidding to hire the same local transport contractors, and they will be able to play each customer against the others. This happened during the U.K. withdrawal from Iraq.
Second, key airlift assets are already in short supply, making them even more important—and expensive. Antonov An-124 airlifters have been extensively used to transport outsized loads, mainly mine-resistant, ambush-protected and armored fighting vehicles into theatre—a role they will have to reprise on the way out. While there are around two dozen An-124s readily available for charter, more than a dozen NATO nations will be bidding to rent them. And they will have outside competition—they are also sought by Formula One teams to move between races, and by China-based toy and computer companies to get products to Western markets in time for the holidays.
The pressure on supply chains through the recently reopened Pakistan border crossing in Karachi, as well as the Northern Ground Line of Communications via Uzbekistan and the Trans-Siberian Railway, will only rise. All NATO nations will try to backload equipment as far in advance of the formal combat drawdown as possible, and will face congestion around the withdrawal points. The routes through Pakistan are, not surprisingly, regarded by planners as being fragile.
The building of a new passenger terminal at Camp Bastion/Leatherneck shows that planners are beginning to recognize that air transport might have to be the solution to holdups in the land routes, enemy action, and the requirements of specialized, valued equipment.
Even local disposition will be costly and difficult. Small arms ammunition is being burnt off in specially designed facilities. When this was undertaken in Iraq, the facilities were sometimes not that dissimilar from big ovens. But current facilities being installed in Afghanistan have to meet environmental standards to limit gases being released. As even 5.56-mm ammunition weighs at least 30 kg (66 lb.) per case in fully packaged form, shipping back hundreds of thousands of rounds that are no longer useable or safe represents a massive task. The British estimate that more than 30% of small arms ammunition is past safe use, and because ammunition is cheap it is just not worthwhile to manually check thousands of rounds to establish which could be salvaged.

I was in Tennessee this week, seeing the colors of the trees burn across the ridges, and feeling the fall induced opportunity to feel gratitude. As you get this, we'll all be deep into the holidays and winter, giving us a chance to reflect on the gifts of the year.
Some things we've had a chance to be grateful for this past year include the vision and inspiration that Janet dedicated to the cause of helping those with a "common bond", the courageous/relentless visioning of the future by Dave Sirois, President of your Board, whom I work with weekly on our strategic plan to make headway in awareness, research, treatment and advocacy. And, the rest of the Board each gives, above and beyond, of their own special talents.
Will, of course. He gives his all, all the time, (my favorite is, "Sure, I can do that!") with a wealth of expertise and skill and energy to learn new things that is beyond compare. Thanks, Will, for it ALL!
And, of course, each of us is so grateful for the generosity of others who share your concerns and are moved to making a difference. The Double the Difference Donation-Match Campaign inspired over 200 NEW donors in 2009 and over 41 donors gave more this year than they did last year — and there's still one month to go! Please consider the impact a donation this year could make when you receive your holiday fund-drive mailer — and give your feedback on what you care about, it matters to all of us!
With these funds we have build an online data registry to make data collection faster, easier and more accurate (see information about our 1010 in 2010 drive on page 5 of the printed Quarterly); we are partnering with National Disease Research Interchange (NDRI) and the NIH to begin blood and tissue sample collection to be used for direct medical research; and we have trained and added two new Peer Health Coaches, Marc (BP, in the West) and Yvette (PV, in the East) to get more patient questions answered faster and more conveniently; finally, we will be hosting a Scientific/Medical Consensus Conference of the luminary P/P doctors worldwide and an audience of over 150 doctors, in the Fall of 2010 in conjunction with the NIH. There, the goal is an agreed-upon, evidence-based protocol that can be shared with doctors with less expertise, to improve treatment outcomes and a discussion of promising discoveries at the cellular/immunological level. These conference should result in at least two publications advancing medical knowledge of P/P worldwide. And the IPPF 2010 Annual Meeting, of course!
Which just leaves the over 4,000 of you we communicate with monthly by email, the over 600 who choose to subscribe to our paper newsletter, the 4,600 who read our newest news and information in real time on our News & Information site http://www.pemphigus.org/wordpress/category/news/, Facebook, and Twitter, and the more than 350 new patients who personally contacted us this year!
Each of you gives — in the thank-yous you share with us, in the discussions you have with your neighbors, in the awareness building projects you develop in your communities, in the outreach you do to others that are hurting, or confused, or afraid, in the courage with which you move forward. Your time, and a hand along this journey, are gifts beyond measure.

Kitty Bolinder, 62
Jewel K. "Kitty" Bolinder, 62, of Firth passed away with her husband Terry by her side, Sunday morning, Oct. 16, 2011 at the University of Utah hospital from complications of multiple strokes.
Kitty was born Dec. 7, 1948, in Hawaii to James and Beatrice Sayles. She grew up and attended school in Hawaii, then went on to serve in the military as a nurse in her early adult years.
She married Terry W. Bolinder on Feb. 14, 1976 and they resided in Firth where she was at Terry's side each day as they ran their gas station, convenience store, raised their boys, and began her career at Firth High School. They were blessed with two wonderful boys, Bjorn and Tel.
Firth High is where she bloomed and became so embedded in everyone's hearts. This job is where she found and was blessed with many, many lifelong friends that she was so grateful for. Her huge heart and taking care of us all is what she excelled at and she will so fondly be remembered for all that she did for us. Her primary goal in life was to take care of Terry and her boys but she seemed to be able to take care of so many more. When each of her grandchildren arrived her love for them was beyond words. Kanani Jewel and Kason William were her little "lovies" and the light of her life.
We, Kitty's family, will be eternally grateful for the love extended to Kitty in the last six weeks from the beautiful community of Firth. She loved living there so much and loved her "family" at the school. A special thanks to her good friends, Kathy, Barb, Billie, Janice and Colleen, each held a special place in her heart.
Kitty is survived by her husband, Terry and son Bjorn of Firth; son, Tel (Emily) Bolinder of Idaho Falls; and two precious grandkids, Kanani and Kason; brothers, James Sayles Jr., John Sayles, Jay Sayles, Jensen Sayles, Jerald Sayles, Jeff Sayles, sisters, Joyce Sayles – Buck and Johanna, all of Hawaii, three brothers-in- law, Kevin (Sandi) Bolinder of Firth; Merrill (Cheryl) Barney of St. George, Utah; and Dennis Barney of Sacramento, Calif.; sister-in-law, Belinda (Bill) Tolley of Rigby; and her many nieces and nephews who adored her.
She was preceded in death by her parents.
Funeral services will be at 11 a.m. Saturday Oct. 22, 2011 at the Firth High School Gymnasium. The family will receive friends Friday from 7-8:30 p.m. at Nalder Funeral Home (110 West Oak) in Shelley and Saturday from 9:30-10:40 a.m. before the services at the high school.
Interment will be in the Firth Cemetery with military rites by the American Legion David B. Bleak Post 93 assisted by the Idaho Honor Guard.
Condolences can be sent to the family at www.nalderfuneralhome.com.

Whether you are a dancing queen or aspiring to be one, this party is for you. The only requirement is a pair of comfortable shoes and lots of caffeine, because folks are dancing throughout the night, the morning and the afternoon. They are going to dance more hours than you'll sleep this weekend.
"I'm having a great time, with all the support I think I'll make it through," said FSU student, Christine Nevels.
Why do so many students kick up their heels for hours on end?
It's because of some precious, helpless beauties, struck by illness, fighting to survive. Like little Kaia Miller. "She was born with clocal extrophy," said her mother, Cheryl Miller.
Kaia is walking and talking like a healthy three-year-old. Her mother says it's all because of the Children Miracle Network and the FSU dancers.
"Seeing people like FSU students, it's speechless. I just encourage them to keep doing it," said Cheryl Miller.
In the past eight years FSU students have raised more than a half million dollars for the Children's Miracle Network at Shand's Hospital. The dance-a-thon is organized and run by students alone.

From NBC's Catherine Chomiak
Former Speaker Newt Gingrich had harsh words for the Obama administration regarding Libya this morning on TODAY.
"This isn't serious standard," he said of the humanitarian reasons for going into Libya. "This is a public relations standard." He added, "The president of the United States does not report to the United Nations." And: "By this standard, we could get engaged in all sorts of places," including Sudan. On Khaddafy, Gingrich said, "If this is not designed to get rid of Khaddafy, then this makes no sense at all." On whether he would have engaged in this operation, Gingrich said flatly, "I would not have intervened. There were a lot of other ways" to deal with Khaddafy. And, he said, if Khaddafy stays in power, "it will be a defeat for the United States. …
"This is about as badly run as any foreign operation in our lifetime."
He made similar comments in an appearance on Fox last night. Gingrich said multiple times that the Obama administration doesn't know what it is doing and that there is a "lack of sophisticated planning," "lack of professionalism," and "lack of leadership" in dealing with the situation.
"President Obama is going to have to answer questions, because his current policy is so incoherent and so confused that it is literally indefensible," Gingrich said. "This is as badly executed, I think, as any policy we've seen since WWII, and it will become a case study for how not to engage in this type of activity," he added.
When asked about the interactions between the executive branch and the legislative one, Gingrich said, "I think this has been so badly organized and so badly planned that they have now burned a lot of bridges in Congress and I think they can't with a straight face claim to have seriously consulted the Congress and that's a huge mistake. Presidents have to have some kind of support from the congress if they're going to be able to sustain a national security of foreign policy."
Turning to Gingrich's own potential political aspirations, he said this situation and others make him think more seriously about a presidential bid. "The obligation as a citizen to seriously consider it (the presidency) gets higher when you look at the current damage being done, but this administration on so many different fronts."

RTC Live: WAC Semis – Utah St vs. La Tech & Nevada vs. NMSUPosted by rtmsf on March 12th, 2010
Day 1 of the WAC tournament eliminated all the pretenders and now we are left with just the top four teams in the league battling it out. The first matchup will feature the number one seed Utah State Aggies taking on the number four seed Louisiana Tech Bulldogs. The Aggies have played the part of the steamroller lately, and after dispatching Boise State yesterday 84-60 have now run their winning streak up to 16 straight games. Despite the blowout score, Boise State tested the Aggies, forcing an uncharacteristically high 15 turnovers with a full court pressure defense. Louisiana Tech will likely try to exploit this by pressuring the Aggies as well, probably using the same 1-3-1 zone we saw in a previous RTC Live that features 6'11 Magnum Rolle at the top of the key trapping Utah State's much smaller guard line. The key for the Bulldogs will be generating offense. Kyle Gibson still does not look like his old self, scoring just seven points yesterday, but backcourt mate Jamel Guyton scored 31 to lead the Bulldogs over Fresno State 74-66. If the Bulldogs can get that kind of offensive explosion again it should be a great game to decide who moves onto the championship game tomorrow.
In the night cap in the WAC tournament the homestanding Nevada Wolfpack will take on the New Mexico State Aggies. Neither team had any trouble in the opening round here in Reno as Nevada blasted Idaho 87-71 and New Mexico State had no problems with San Jose State winning 90-69. These two teams met just a week ago here in Reno and the Wolfpack won in a shootout 100-92, led by Brandon Fields 'career high 32 points. If Nevada is getting scoring in bunches from players besides Luke Babbitt and Armon Johnson then it's going to be a long night for New Mexico State. The Aggies need to get some big numbers out of guards Jahmar Young and Jonathan Gibson, and find someone to slow down Luke Babbitt. Expect another high scoring, and fast-paced matchup between these two, with the winner moving on to face Louisiana Tech/Utah State for the championship tomorrow night. The game is on ESPN2 so tune and follow along with us on RTC Live.

how could it not have hit the ground. ONe hand was to the side, the other on top. The ball disapears from view - then bounces up. Whad did it bounce up from???
Im not saying that cost us the game - We stuffed it up in other area's
But im sorry that was terriable sportsmanship
and Murali would have known that for a certainty how exactly?
When you hear players talk about these catches - half the time they feel that they caught it clean, and the other half they don't know. How do you know Murali didn't think he caught it cleanly at the time?

if this had been say.....Fernando then no one would be complaining. But because its Murali out come the bashers.

One morning this week I took my not-quite-six-month-old son out in the rain. Without a raincoat. Or a hat. On purpose. I think he liked it, although his conversational skills are a bit underdeveloped, so I can't be sure.
My daughters eat cereal off the ground. In fact, I have said things to them like, "Everyone do your part to help clean up. Start by eating these Cheerios on the floor." My middle child intentionally eats sand on a regular basis.
|Sand is yummy!
I never take my kids' temperatures. If one of them feels really super hot and it's interrupting their sleep and/or interfering with their daily activities, I will give them a bit of acetaminophen or ibuprofen or whatnot. We almost never go to the doctor for anything other than "well" visits. If they seem really sick, we would, and we have, because I just know, but I couldn't explain my thought process.
I try not to flip out about the small stuff. Let kids by kids, they are resilient, and all that. I don't want to be The Parent Who Worries About Every Freaking Thing
However . . . I also don't want to be The Parent Who Stands Just Outside The Playground Fence Talking On Her Cell Phone And Lighting Her Cigarette

Free Range Parenting sounds good on many levels, in theory. Still, I can't completely get on board. Talk to anyone over age 30 and you will inevitably hear some story about something they did as a kid, when no parents were around, while they were outside ("until the street lights came on" seems to be a common denominator). All of these stories end the Exact Same Way: " . . . and I turned out fine." Really? Fine? You wanna go there?
Helicopter Parenting, on the other extreme, sounds a wee bit obsessive. Eventually I would like my children to be able to function in the world without my day-to-day assistance.
But I'm not raising chickens. Or helicopters.
I'd like to think I've reached a happy middle ground. But sometimes I let worry get the best of me. Usually I'm okay, until Something Happens. Then the paranoia sets in. And it's hard to let go.
For instance, my middle child is a bit of a daredevil. I was a lot calmer with J's antics until one evening last December when she fell backwards off the couch onto her head. And her eyes did that weird, rolling back thing, and she almost passed out, and I yelled at her to stay awake until we could get to the emergency room. (Which, thankfully, is about a 90-second drive.) She had a pretty good bump, but was otherwise fine.
I can't help it; injuries just really freak me out. I am getting better at this, but sometimes I need to remind myself that people survive gunshot wounds to the head, falling off cliffs, and being impaled by tree branches. In the grande scheme of things, this is so minor.
