COOKEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tennessee Tech and Central Michigan matched each other nearly the whole way through, as the Chippewas were able to come away with the 12-11 win in 10 innings.
Friday's game featured plenty of hits and runs as the both teams combined for 23 runs on 37 hits.
Most of the excitement came in the bottom of the ninth, as Chad Hayes stepped in with the tying run on second with two gone. On the first pitch Hayes drove a single to center field to bring in pinch runner Robert Roach to knot up the score at 11.
CMU answered right back in the top of the 10th as it tallied three singles of Tech reliever Cullen Park to reclaim the lead at 12-11.
With two outs in the bottom 10th, Zach Stephens tallied a single, while Evan Frazier followed with a walk. With Seth Lucio pinch running for Stephens, Jordan Hopkins hit a sharp single to right field, but Lucio was thrown out at the plate to end the game in a very close play.
With CMU leading 4-3 after the fifth, the bats came alive for both teams as they both tallied seven runs on a combined 14 hits to bring the score to 11-10.
CMU's Eric Wrozek did the most damage as he drove in seven runs during the game, including a grand slam off Tech starter Tristan Archer in the sixth inning. Nate Thenissen drove in three runs as well, which included a two-run shot in the bottom of the first.
The Golden Eagles were led by Hayes, who drove in five runs on three hits, while Stephens drove in two runs, including a leadoff solo shot in the seventh inning.
CMU's Pat Kaminska (1-1) took the win as he went two innings, while giving up one run. TTU's Cullen Park (0-3) was saddled with the loss as he gave one run on three hits in one inning of work.
Archer gave up eight runs in 5.1 innings, while CMU starter Zach Cooper gave up nine runs in six innings.
Game two of the series is set for Saturday at 1:30 p.m.

Yup, it's that time again where I upload a lesson that I talked about earlier. Here is the second Minecraft character in tutorial form. It's "how to draw a Wither", step by step. Withers are large ghostly three headed mobs that have an intimidating appearance. These things can be spawned almost to the same way it is to spawn utility mobs. For some reason whenever I look at these monstrous figures, I think of Mario Bros. A Wither reminds me of the ghosts from the Mario series. Drawing a Wither should prove to be as easy as drawing a Mario Ghost. Have fun with this tut people, and let me know what you think. Adios mi amigos!
DragoArt members upload artwork and drawing tutorials! They are also allowed to leave comments on tutorials, profiles, etc. Many more features, as well; it's way better than just being a boring guest! Register Now!

This past Thursday, I gave a talk to the Indianapolis Python Meetup. It was, in a word, a blast. The venue was "The Boardroom" at Scotty's Brewhouse, which was really nice – a big table, with centrally located connections to a 42″ flat panel monitor on the wall. And Scotty's also has good burgers and beer, so it has to be the most comfortable place I've ever given a talk.
There were 14 of us, and both the Python knowledge and interest level were high. The guys from sixfeetup.com provide a certain amount of support, particularly co-organizers Calvin Hendryx-Parker and self-designated PEP-8 nazi 😉 Clayton Parker. I talked about Python 3, hitting both the features that I consider improvements to the language and the changes that cause the most pain in porting old code.
The talk was well received, the burgers and beers were great, and I was delighted to find such a vibrant group of Pyhtonistas in Indy. I hope to return.

I pray that you realize this is the perfect fit for you in your walk with HIM. I pray that you come to the realization that He is the goal of all of your searching and that when you truly find Jesus you will be totally satisfied!!! It is when the less important goals in your life take the capture your attention that our Lord fades into the background of your life.

A person familiar with the situation says Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach Bill Lazor has been hired as offensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the Dolphins hadn't announced the hiring.
Lazor joined the Eagles a year ago when Chip Kelly was hired as head coach. Lazor was instrumental in the development of second-year quarterback Nick Foles, who led the NFL in passing this season.
Lazor was offensive coordinator at the University of Virginia from 2010 to 2012, and he has also worked for the Washington Redskins, Seattle Seahawks and Atlanta Falcons. He replaces Mike Sherman, who was fired last week after two seasons with Miami.

There's no summer lunch quite like the peanut butter sandwich. Unlike anything with meats or cheeses, it holds up well to the heat. Its gooey richness goes well with any season. Even when it's being smeared on a suspicious lady outside your trailer.
Here's The Ledger of Lakeland, Fla.:
A Winter Haven man remained in jail Sunday after he was accused of attacking three women with a 4-foot sword and a peanut-butter sandwich, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Mark Christopher Miller, 50, used the sword to threaten two women, one of them pregnant, and then smeared another with the sandwich before the deputies hauled him away, according to his arrest report.
As the deputies drove him to jail, Miller ripped a piece of padding from the inside of the patrol car with his teeth, the report says.
I can't vouch for the tastiness of a Crown Vic's foam, though.

Second day of SID Display Week 2011 that is taking place in Los Angeles, CA is going to be remembered for Perceptive Pixel's announcement of somewhat revolutionary display. The company that became famous following the must-see TED Video featuring Jeff Han, company's founder, CEO and Chief Scientist.
Following the talk that happened almost half a decade ago, Perceptive Pixel went on to develop large scale installations such as CNN's Situation Room or various government installations which installed specialized low-volume 55" displays. After years of hard work and joint development with companies such as 3M, the company is finally coming to market with 27" multi-touch display that promises to solve the multi-touch dilemma on desktop displays.
Featuring a high resolution of 2560×1440 (1440p), Perceptive Pixel used a method of optically bonding sensor glass to the high-quality IPS (In Plane Switching) panel. According to the company, they managed to completely solve the electrostatic interference as well as parallax issue that plagued the multi-touch LCD displays. After researching the method, we find it very interesting that innovative companies such as Master Image 3D or Perceptive Pixel use similar methods to optically bond the LCD matrix to the glass/barrier to achieve seamless glassless 3D or multi-touch experience.
In case of Perceptive Pixel, the technology is called "Pro-Cap" (Projected Capacitive) Controller. Jeff Han's bold statement "We will fundamentally transform the way we work with computers. This new technology is a critical part of Perceptive Pixel?s growth strategy, and it opens up tremendous opportunities for the display industry at large." really sounds true to our ears, but we'll only know did Perceptive Pixel pulled the impossible and created a seamless multi-touch experience with a desktop display – once that the evaluation unit arrives in our Lab.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 was built by enthusiasts. As sacred as the Chevrolet bowtie would seam to be, even it went under the knife in search of increased performance.
Powertrain Cooling Development engineer Richard Quinn took a cutoff wheel to the inner portion of the bowtie after he noticed that it was displacing air away from the radiator during aerodynamics testing. Since this track monster could ill afford decreased cooling as the result of the obstruction, Richard tested his prototype and found that it allowed three additional cubic meters of air into the engine per minute. Long track sessions revealed that this dropped engine coolant and oil temperatures by a full 2°F (1.2° C). Though this improvement seems minimal, GM stated it was enough to justify the change, and thus the "Flowtie" became standard on the Z/28.
"There are engineers in our team that race as a hobby," said Quinn, "and we used that racer's mindset to look for ways small or large to get better performance out of the Z/28. Even the smallest details on the Z/28 were weighed for cooling benefit, and this is one that stuck."
"The Flowtie is just one example of the team's focus on track performance," said Al Oppenheiser, Camaro chief engineer. [I guess you might say it is symbolic or emblematic of their commitment to performance? Too much?] "That same attention to detail is evident throughout the cooling systems for the LS7 engine, as well as the carbon ceramic brakes and the differential."
"The Camaro Z/28 has more than 190 unique parts, compared to a Camaro SS," Oppenheiser said. "Like the Flowtie, each of these parts were changed with one objective: to deliver incredible performance on the track – not just for the first lap, but lap, after lap, after lap."

Tidying Up A Model A Coupe's Back Room - No Junk In The Trunk
After finishing my traditional-looking '31 Model A in 2007, I just got busy driving the wheels off it. I will be the first to say that this Model A is not period correct in every way, and every time I opened the trunk that modern Optima battery was sticking out like a sore thumb—the lack of trunk mat and side panels didn't help matters much, either. Regardless of style of car, unfinished would be the correct description.
Don't get me wrong, the Optima battery has been an excellent performer, sitting for months on end only to be ready to bring that 425ci Nailhead to life faithfully every time I crank the ignition. Performance wasn't the issue.
It finally came time to do something about the complete (full trunk) back-door eyesore. So, I dragged the old sewing machine out of the attic and went to town—first order of business was to make a cover for the battery.

Woman Pets Shark During Amazing Underwater Dive
From 'Jaws' to 'Sharnado,' sharks have always been portrayed as vicious and deadly creatures, but one woman is changing that impression.
Cristina Zenato is a professional shark handler who appears in this GoPro video, in which she pets a Caribbean reef shark that gently swims over to her.
It's really quite amazing and proof that maybe, just maybe, sharks have been getting a bum rap.

I never tire of acquiring new heroes. Spiderman tops my superhero list, but recently I discovered a real live hero right under my nose.
He was sitting reading with a student at Parkview Elementary School in Chico when I overheard him say to a new Parkview Pal reading volunteer, "I've been a reading volunteer here for 16 years."
Sixteen years??
Twice a week for 16 years, Bob Pentzer has walked into the reading support room at Parkview Elementary, greeted staff with a smile, collected his materials for the four young lucky students on his list, and whisked out the door to gather his first tutee.
Bob doesn't dally. He understands that every minute with a student counts.
"Teachers see the value with the one-on-one reading, and as long as kids are responsive, I'll keep coming and reading with them," Pentzer explained. "Learning to read is so important, and some kids just need practice. Then, they reach a turning point."
Pentzer added that fourth, fifth and sixth grades are perfect ages to reach them. "When they get older, there are other distractions. This is when reading can click for them," he said.
Precisely. This is when learning to read becomes reading to learn. Pentzer helps hesitant readers ease into the world of independent reading. Whether they read science books or the latest Warrior Cat Series release, it's 20 minutes of uninterrupted time with an adult giving 100 percent of his attention. Unfortunately, since many students don't have the opportunity to read at home with an adult, this time is unique.
After winter vacation one year, Pentzer said he came back to school to discover one of his tutees had transferred to another school. "We were just starting to make progress, so I asked if I could go to the boy's new school and read to him there," Pentzer told me. And so he did, and finished up the year with that student.
What better way to send a message that reading is vitally important than following a student across town to make sure he still has his reading pal.
The other day, I stopped two of Pentzer's tutees in the hallway and asked them how their tutor helped them.
"He explains the words, so I understand them better," Ottmar Lopez told me.
"It makes sense when he explains things to me," Matthew Lo added.?
Even though iPods and Xboxes, cellphones and the Internet are entertaining and engaging, without the ability to read material at grade level, options for young people become limited. And it doesn't get easier.
Fortunately, many elementary schools have volunteer reading programs. Citrus and Rosedale elementary schools implemented Reading Partners this year, a national program where volunteers commit to a year of one-on-one tutoring. They take an online orientation and "easy to follow" curriculum training, and can start tutoring a student 45 minutes twice a week. Over 140 volunteers flow on to those two campuses each week. Daniel Ruppert, the local program manager, told me it's been a successful year so far. "Teachers are happy and kids have shown an increase in confidence," he said. "They're excited to be at school."
One-on-one interaction is invaluable, and for a classroom teacher, very difficult to provide. Volunteers like Bob Pentzer, his wife Kay — who joined the Parkview Pal team this year — and the hundreds of volunteers in our schools who patiently encourage students while they struggle to make sense of words deserve thanks.?
So, if you've ever watched the youngsters at your local school swinging on the bars of their campus playground, and wondered if volunteering to read to a student would make a difference, I'm here to say yes, it can. Give it a try. There's room for more heroes in our classrooms.

Leupold® Introduces 4-24x52mm Model into VX®-6 Line
BEAVERTON, OR. – Leupold® has expanded its premier VX®-6 line with the introduction of the 4-24x52mm side focus riflescope.
Combining Leupold's legendary durability and crystal-clear optics with the VX-6's powerful 6:1 zoom ratio, the 4-24x52mm models offer shooters the versatility of 4x to 24x magnification in one riflescope. Compared to standard riflescopes, the VX-6 provides a wider field of view at the lowest power setting, giving hunters a better look at close, fast-moving game. At the highest power setting, the scope pulls distant targets in tighter for more precise shot placement.
"With the 6:1 zoom ratio of the VX-6 erector assembly, we're able to deliver far more range and utility than ever before," said Pat Mundy, communications manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. "There is simply no distance from 100 to over 1,000 yards that the VX-6 4-24 can't handle."
Two illuminated reticle options are available: the Boone and Crockett® Big Game reticle or the Varmint Hunter. They feature Finger Adjustable, Pop-up resettable, 1/4 MOA per click adjustments and an integrated push button illumination and side focus parallax dial. Both are compatible with Leupold's Custom Dial System® (CDS®). With CDS, hunters can get on target at any range, with any load, by matching their scope to the ballistics of their ammunition and sight-in conditions. Each scope comes with one free CDS dial.
The non-illuminated model offers the all new TMOA® reticle, which features tic marks in 1 MOA increments on the vertical and horizontal crosshairs allowing for range estimation and accurate wind drift and bullet drop compensation in the familiar minute-of-angle measurements. Also new are the VX-6 Target Adjustments with resettable zero and an elevation zero stop.
All VX-6 4-24x52mm riflescopes feature side focus parallax adjustment and a 34mm matte black maintube. Leupold's Quantum Optical Systemtm combines lead-free, precision-ground and edge blackened lenses with Leupold's Xtended Twilight® lens coatings for the highest level of light transmission and clarity. Carefully positioned in optimum relationship to each other, the lenses deliver up to 98 percent total light transmission. Exterior lens surfaces are coated with DiamondCoat 2® for unsurpassed resistance to scratching and abrasion.
In addition, VX-6 has a generous eyebox and long eye relief, making it quick and easy for hunters to get their eye behind the riflescope and attain a full, clear sight picture. Compared to competitive riflescopes, the VX-6's eyebox is up to 137 percent larger at the high power ranges, and up to 67 percent larger at the low power ranges.
Other key features:
• Leupold's most durable Twin Bias Spring Erector System™ provides the utmost in mechanical reliability. It is built with up to 30 percent more holding force than competitive riflescopes to withstand the most intense recoil and abuse.
• Second generation Argon/Krypton waterproofing and fog proofing for enhanced thermal shock resistance.
Sporting Leupold's familiar Golden Ring®, each VX-6 is backed by the company's Full Lifetime Guarantee. For more information, visit a local dealer, go to www.leupold.com or call 1-800-LEUPOLD. Find us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LeupoldOptics.
Leupold & Stevens, Inc., the preeminent American-owned optics company, employs hundreds of people in its state-of-the-art manufacturing facility near Beaverton, Ore. Family owned and privately operated, Leupold offers products that are sold worldwide to hunters, competitive shooters, American military warfighters, law enforcement personnel and wildlife observers.

CDC: Methadone deaths may have peaked | Health
ATLANTA -- Health officials say methadone is involved in nearly one-third of deaths from prescription painkillers. But overdose deaths from methadone appear to have peaked.
Methadone is known mainly for treating heroin addictions but it is also prescribed for pain. Health officials say most of the overdose deaths are people who take it for pain - not heroin addicts.
New federal data shows the number and rate of methadone-related deaths have fallen since 2007.
Experts believe doctors are more cautious today about prescribing methadone for pain because of federal warnings and state prescription monitoring programs.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released the study Tuesday.

Southern Cooking
I'm cooking 3 freezer friendly dishes today because in the South, when someone's family has a death or illness, that's what we do.
As far back as I can remember, that's the way it's always been. When my Grandmother was still alive, she was one of the women of the church that would organize the meals. The news usually went like this… someone called the preacher and then the preacher would let everyone know that there was an event in the church. Then the ladies who were in charge of organizing the meals would get busy. Within 2 hours time, the family in need would have enough food to feed them for the week and by the end of the week, enough food for the month. They had special dishes marked on the bottom so that it would be easy to return them to the rightful owners – ready for the next major event.
Back in the day, all of this was done by phone call. With the beauty of the internet, it's a lot easier to organize taking meals to people. One of the easiest to use is Take Them A Meal which was created by the folks who brought us Perfect Potluck. Both sites are great ways to organize both meal occasions.
Maybe this act stems from that feeling of helplessness of not being able to do something significant for the family. You always ask the question "Is there anything that I can do?" and more often than not, the family has no idea what you can do for them, if anything. So you do what you can and the simplest yet most important thing is to feed. By feeding a family in their darkest hours, you are also feeding their soul. It's a way to let them know that they're loved and respected and you care about what happens in their lives.
I remember living in different parts of the country and whenever a big event happened in someone's life, my first instinct was always "I need to cook them something". But, it's not as big of a thing outside the South and that's a shame. It's an act that really means a lot to the families whether they express that or not. The last thing you want to deal with when you're dealing with a death or illness is remembering to feed your family.
A close family friend of ours had a major surgery this week and if the only thing that I can do to help them is to be sure they have enough food for the week, then that is what I will do. I'm grateful that I can do it and even more grateful that they're open to it. I'm not doing it because I have to, I'm doing it because I want to. This family means a lot to us and it kills me they're going thru this sucky health scare. I would hope that one day, someone would do the same for us.
What am I cooking? Shepherd's Pie, Chicken Pot Pie and Jambalaya. All easy to make, freeze and pop in the oven for a homemade, nutritious meal. Notice they're all comfort food. There is no coincidence in that. I hope my simple gesture brings them some comfort right now and to me, it's a Sunday well spent.
Hey! If you leave me a comment (and why wouldn't you??) PLEASE make sure you include your website/blog so I can come and visit!

Grains had some massive moves today with soybeans sharply higher and corn/wheat sharply lower. May soybeans finished 31 cents higher at $14.16 ¾! This is 7 ¼ cents below the last screen traded price. May corn settled 9 cents lower at $6.12 ½, and May wheat 9 cents lower at $6.15 ¾.
Why the strength in beans? For one it was option expiration and we ran "into-the-money" on the $14.30, $14.40, and $14.50 strikes for a total call OI of 15,601 contracts. The front month soybean contracts had the largest rallies. The July – November spread was particularly strong after it surpassed its September 2011 high of 83 ½ cents, it quickly rallied its way up to $1.00 (see chart)! Besides these technical reasons for the rally, we also had rumors of Brazil pulling soybean offers. This is a little hard to believe as soybeans just made fresh highs today in Brazilian Reals. They are making plenty of money at these levels and for them to be pulling offers it would be for very serious supply reasons. If we get confirmation of this before Sunday night we should be sharply higher on the opening. If they turn around and deny this rumor, we could see a retracement. This reminds me of the Chinese corn purchasing rumors, more of the rumor mill. It could be they are just looking for potential reasons to explain this massive technical move on a Friday which is also option expiration day.
Corn was the opposite today with heavy "bearspreading". It almost looks like someone or fund was heavily bullspread corn and bearspread soybeans and is blowing out of positions. We will have to see what open interest does on Monday morning, but this is a possible answer to these moves. Today's Commitment of Traders report showed a HUGE drop in net longs for the "managed money". They reduced their net long position by 47,242 contracts bringing them to a net long of only 146,590! The "managed money" left their soybean position mostly unchanged only reducing the massive net long position by 1899 contracts and still holding a net long of 240,774 contracts! That's 1.642 long soybeans for every long corn!
Cattle-on-Feed was very neutral and won't likely be a major mover for next week. We will have to watch the headlines over the weekend for Sunday night / Monday direction. For now we like staying with the current EHedger recommendations. To receive a free trial of the EHedger research including hedge recommendations, please sign up using the link below.

Solid Glasses, Feminine Frame
Ordered these because the color of them was "gun metal" and I liked the frame in the pictures. Upon arrival, and actually wearing them, the two-tone color scheme and slightly tilted-forward frame proved to look more feminine than I anticipated. Ended up sending them back.
Classic Kaenon
Love these as a casual, every day pair of glasses. They look good and the lenses are the best non-glass lenses on the market
Kaenon Clarke Sunglasses
Classic design, medium face size, lightweight frames with super nice lenses. Done.
Kaenons are simply the best
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've had quite a few pairs of kaenons. The beacons, the Burnetts, and these fit the best out of all of them. Warning: don't buy a pair if you expect to ever buy cheap sunglasses again.
What are the measurements?
Frame Width - 131mm

Pac-12 commish calls this a "new era" for the league
LOS ANGELES — During his opening remarks Tuesday at the Pac-12 football media day activities at Fox Studios, league commissioner Larry Scott called the additions of Colorado and Utah the "dawn of a new era" for the the conference.
"We welcome the additions of Colorado and Utah," Scott said. "Their additions very much helped us secure a landmark media aggreement (with ESPN and Fox, estimated to be worth $3 billion over 12 years).
"Our future is as bright as it's ever been."
The media days began with a video presentation, with a significant segment related to Colorado and Utah, saying that "football is in their blood."

ALTdot in the Press:
"Where can fans of spaced-out, off-the-wall, over-the-edge, even grotesque antics get to witness Scott Thompson, or the trio of Janeane Garofalo, Will Ferrell and Harland Williams -- or live-gig greenhorn Tom Green -- get up on a tiny stage and jam? At Lorne Perlmutar's dream come true, the Rivoli's wild and wacky weekly ALT.COMedy Lounge." - NOW MAGAZINE
"As evidenced by Sean Cullen, and the frequent presence of scouts from The Comedy Network, Just For Laughs, the Aspen Comedy Arts Festival and Saturday Night Live, it's a room to discover real talent. Maybe the next Seinfeld." - TORONTO STAR
"In this city's ultra-competitive comedy scene, the Rivoli's Monday-night ALTdot COMedy Lounge is one of the most reliable. And unpredictable. No wonder folks like Janeane Garofalo, Will Ferrell and Tom Green have dropped by to check out talent and (perhaps) do a set. A-list names aside, though, the joy in going to the ALTdot has always been discovering new talent and seeing comics try out new material." - BEST OF TORONTO

Inflatable Kayak Paddles
We stock paddles suitable for inflatable kayaks from Aquabound, Bending Branches, Bravo (a.k.a. "Scoprega"), Cannon, Carlisle, Caviness, BICSports, Clear Blue Hawaii. Many have fiberglass shafts and a few are aluminum shaft. As a general rule, the take-apart joint on a budget priced aluminum shaft model may be a tad more wiggly than the better glass shaft paddles.
Please Note: As of January, 2015, both UPS and Fed-X have decided that they are going to start calculating charges on all boxes, including ground shipments, at what they refer to as "dimensional weight". It used to be that that nonsense was reserved for air parcels only. We're not happy about it, but there is little we can do. For each unit of 166 square inches, UPS is charging for one pound. This means that all two-piece paddles will be billed from now on at 11 pounds. A single paddle in one of our 6" X 6 X 48" boxes only weighs four pounds, but with the new math from UPS the shipping on even the empty box is still the eleven pound rate. Everything we ship & show below is either a two piece or four piece paddle, no one piece, but if you are buying two paddles on out shopping cart, the UPS module will try to charge you for two 11 pound paddles - i.e. 22 pounds. So it may be better to phone orders in if it is for two or more paddles. Or, we can correct the total since our cart does not charge your card until we authorize it.
Remember that if you get a kayak paddle with your boat, you receive a 10% accessory discount on it or any other items purchased at the same time. Raft paddles can be found under our raft section.

[Continued from top of page...]
Although more expensive paddles are widely available, we feel our selection provides exceptional value. To get a paddle with hand made glass lay-up blades in a take apart version, you have to spend double to triple what our better ones cost. Spending three times as much will generally get you a better balanced paddle that weighs maybe 6 to 8 ounces less, but the vast majority of our customers are not looking to spend $600 on two paddles for their $950 kayak. That said, very few of our paddles are clunkers, and the couple above that are clunkers are described as such.
Hardshell kayak shops often over-emphasize weights to justify high paddle prices, but unless you plan on circumnavigating the Baja peninsula or the Gulf of Alaska a small difference between two similar models won't make much difference. Most burn you feel in your arms at the day's end has to do with the effort you put out to propel your boat, not whether you are hefting 32 ounces or 36. Blade design is more critical, though as with any "tool" the more you use it the more it becomes justifiable to get a better paddle. Properly designed curved or "spooned" blades will decrease wrist, forearm, and shoulder strain no matter what type of water you enjoy. You can also make more work for yourself by gripping the shaft too far toward the center, which decreases leverage. Hold the paddle more out toward the blades, and push forward with your high arm. Many of the paddles found in this section have asymetric dihedral blades (where the lower edge is shaved away) for decreased flutter and the associated wrist fatigue. Inexpensive lexan and polyethylene blades used on the low-end Carlisles and Caviness products are often as strong and less brittle than fiberglass and graphite blades on many $300 paddles, but they may not be designed for efficient paddling. Another noteworthy detail for whitewater boaters is the direct relationship between a paddle's cost and the chances of losing it on a river. Novice river runners should never begin with a pricey paddle since it's likely at least one will be eaten in the rapids early on.
Ovaled or contoured grip areas on the shaft assist with blade control, and are very helpful for learning to paddle in the offset position. Knowing how to brace will keep you right side up on the river, and bracing is easier if your paddle blades are offset with the "dry" blade parallel to the water. If you suddenly upset to the opposite side, you can sweep this blade across the surface and push up on the shaft at the same time. This is the basic form of low-bracing. Paddling into the wind is also more efficient with your out-of-water blade cutting the air rather than pushing into it. Round shaft paddles can be "ovaled" by creating a grip area for one or both hands. Just take a 6 to 8" long strip of foam (1/4" thick by 1/2" wide window weather seal), soft rope, or something similar, place it on the shaft under your middle knuckles while holding the paddle as you would in a boat, and wrap around it with bicycle handle bar tape, bicycle inner tube scraps, or better yet large diameter shrink tubing if you can find any.
What about overall length? Just how long should your paddle be? Is there a convenient formula like hardshell kayakers use? Most inflatable kayak designed for whitewater require a length in the 88" to 92" range because most of the river i.k.'s are at least three feet wide. For a handful of very portly models like the AIRE Outfitter - especially the tandems - you may want to go close to eight feet, or in the 240cm to 245cm range, Narrower inflatable kayaks designed for touring with widths of 30 to 33" should use a paddles ranging from 220cm to 230cm. The exact size for a touring i.k. may depend on whether you plan to paddle it by yourself a lot, or always with a second person. Short paddles (82 - 86") may be suitable as spares. The Innova Safari, a mere 28" wide inflatable, and one that appears on both our Solo Whitewater section and in our Solo Touring kayak area, should be propelled with a paddle no more than 220cm (7'2"), and even a 210 to 215 is sufficient. Tall, long-armed folks may be able to get by with a slightly shorter axe, but lengths for inflatables do not have to be precise down to the centimeter. Remember that a too-long paddle can actually make your inflatable swing left and right, especially if it is a kayak designed for whitewater. The stroke arc is further out from the hull with a super long paddle, and inflatables tend to be shorter and more likely to zig-zag off course. Fin-equipped touring models will be more forgiving in this regard.
To repeat, all paddles we carry are take-apart, and all of them come with drip rings. If we manage to leave them out of your shipment just email us and we'll mail you some.

Play Original 'Wolfenstein' For Free On Your Browser
Back in the early 1990s, all it took to qualify a shooter as "great" was that it was better than Duck Hunt. And few were better than Duck Hunt.
But in 1992, the pioneering first-person shooter Wolfenstein 3D certainly hit that qualification. We had more fun than we'd care to admit digging up gold bars, plugging Nazis and hoping to survive long enough to shoot Hitler in the face.
Now enough time has passed that the game is finally free to play for anyone with the time or urge. Better yet, it won't even make you expend memory space for a download. Wolfenstein 3D is running on a browser. To fire up the game, head over to this site. Even better, it's all perfectly legal, thanks to developer Bethesda's generosity. Or is it more of a punishment?
A word of warning: Going back to play a 1992 FPS can be a jarring experience. You may remember the game fondly, but prepare to generate a healthy hatred for its outdated mechanics and blocky graphics.
Now, Nintendo, let's go ahead and get a free, legal version of Duck Hunt up and running.

Agricultural financial conditions were poor in Montana and South Dakota and fair in Minnesota and North Dakota, according to the Minneapolis Fed's third-quarter agricultural credit conditions survey. An overwhelming majority of surveyed lenders in Montana and South Dakota reported that the overall income of their farm and livestock customers continued to fall, due to severe drought and lower livestock prices. In addition, district lenders reported that their dairy customers' income decreased. However, many Minnesota and North Dakota crop producers enjoyed nearly ideal growing conditions and higher prices. "It is a rare time for all of livestock to suffer while the row crops could have dramatic income/acre increases over past years," commented a Minnesota respondent. Montana and South Dakota lenders were very pessimistic about farm income for the fourth quarter of 2002, as were district dairy lenders.
Farm income
The survey suggested that third-quarter overall farm income decreased from a year ago. The majority of survey respondents, 58 percent, reported a decrease in farm income, while less than one in 10 noted an increase. Bankers were especially negative in Montana and South Dakota as 67 percent and 82 percent of respondents, respectively, reported decreased agricultural income. Many respondents attribute troubles to the severe drought and lower cattle and dairy prices. "Drought conditions this summer will limit crop income," wrote a South Dakota lender. "Prices for calves this season are off $10 to $15 a hundred [weight]," a Montana lender reported. Three-quarters of district lenders reported that their dairy customers had lower income.
Meanwhile, row-crop producers in Minnesota and North Dakota are faring better. About 60 percent of Minnesota and North Dakota lenders indicated that farm income had increased or unchanged. "Excellent crop outlook for both yield and price. Prices for milk and hogs are considerably below break-even," commented a Minnesota respondent.
Decreased Farm Income From a Year Ago
Percent of Respondents
Source: Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis
Farm household and capital spending
Household income and capital spending followed approximately the same pattern as farm income. Household spending remained relatively smooth, as 34 percent of overall respondents reported lower household spending, and 60 percent expected no change. Half the South Dakota respondents revealed lower household spending, while only 12 percent of Minnesota lenders reported decreases. Meanwhile, the fall in capital spending was severe: 55 percent of lenders overall indicated decreased levels, with a high of 81 percent of South Dakota bankers and a low of 25 percent of Minnesota respondents.
Loan repayments and renewals
As income decreases, farmers and ranchers have a tough time borrowing and repaying loans. District bankers reported that 29 percent of their agricultural customers are borrowed up to their loan limit. "Being borrowed up their loan limit is driven by repayment ability," commented a North Dakota lender. Nearly a third of respondents indicated lower loan repayments, while only 6 percent reported increased loan repayments. This again varies by state, as 44 percent and 45 percent of Montana and South Dakota lenders, respectively, said loan repayments were down, while 21 percent and 23 percent of Minnesota and North Dakota bankers reported decreases.
Meanwhile, as loan repayments decrease, loan renewals actively increased. Thirty-one percent of respondents reported increases in loan renewals, but a mere 3 percent reported decreases. The state pattern holds again as 44 percent and 36 percent of Montana and South Dakota lenders, respectively, said loan renewals were up, while 21 percent and 23 percent of Minnesota and North Dakota bankers reported increases.
Demand for loans and required collateral
Not only have loan renewals increased, overall loan demand edged up in the third quarter. A quarter of district respondents indicted increased demand compared with 18 percent that reported decreased loan demand. While over half of Montana respondents indicated increased loan demand, only 9 percent on Minnesota lenders indicated an increase.
Meanwhile, collateral requirements are increasing at a few banks. Fourteen percent said that collateral requirements increased, while the remaining indicated no change in collateral requirements. However, a third of Montana lenders reported increased collateral requirements.
Land values
Overall land prices continue to increase. The average nonirrigated farmland price was $985 per acre during the third quarter of 2002, an increase of 7 percent from the third quarter of 2001. Meanwhile, the average ranchland price was $437 per acrean increase of 26 percent from a year ago. Land prices varied significantly by state, as the average ranchland price was $161 per acre in North Dakota compared with $871 per acre in Minnesota.

I'm sitting in bed at 7pm on who knows what day and date (who doesn't love that Christmas and New Year period where you have no idea what day or time it is) in a lovely B&B in Byron Bay with a gorgeous almost 4 year old sleeping next to me. Yeah toddlers wake up at 5am on holidays ready to roll and crash out just when you're trying to decide what to have for dinner.
Alas... life is good. After the mayhem of end of year it's nice to clean and declutter the house and head north to warmer weather for some rest and reflection. I'm so fortunate that my life allows for that. The ocean is my happy place.
In 2016 I wanted to thrive rather than just survive. I wanted to develop personally and professionally and really take things to the next level. I wanted to do the things that make me happy. I wanted to travel. I wanted to strengthen the bond with my daughter. I wanted things to be great. I worked really, really, really hard and played even harder. I went to Italy for the first time and back home to Serbia which really refuelled my soul. I learned to trust myself and back myself. When you put yourself out there in a big way, things happen in a big way - sometimes good, sometimes back but always for a reason. I wouldn't change a thing about 2016. I seem to always be BUSY but amongst it all I've done my best to make time for the little things, like taking my daughter to ballet every week and WATCH her learn to dance. To sacrifice a lot to enrol her in a wonderful kinder. To show her amazing new places in Australia and around the world. I've worked through many coffee breaks and lunch breaks to get out of the office at a reasonable hour and take her to the park or a picnic or for frozen yoghurt. I don't do it enough but I don't beat myself up about it either. Nobody is perfect. Everybody does the best they can.
I also found time to start running. Yeah, 3 months ago I was a "I can't run" person. Now I'm training for a half marathon. More like shuffling but I have another 5.5 months to go.
I don't make resolutions, but i do set goals so this year I want to keep kicking butt at work. I want to get better at running and drink more water! And spend less money on myself and more on those I love.
Seems fair!

Elaine Gimblet, equine therapy volunteer, has two passions in life: being around horses and being around kids. She received her first pony at age 8; by age 11 she began teaching horseback riding lessons and continued this throughout high school and college. During her work years as a teacher, Elaine loved working hands-on with the students. After she retired, Elaine says she didn't quite know what to do with herself until she saw an ad to be a leader for Hearts and Hooves.
"I knew that I wanted to be around horses, and this volunteer opportunity sounded good to me," said Gimblet. "It's a really good feeling that you're making a difference, to know you're helping is so rewarding."
Stacy Alberson, occupational therapist, explains how the volunteer as a leader is especially important because their job directly affects their clients. Alberson says a typical session at the barn consists of a volunteer getting the horse ready – deciding what tack they need for the ride, and which horse would work best for the client and their needs for their individual movements.
"Elaine always greets the children with a smile and with their name, and that is so important," said Alberson. "We may start the day with grooming, or introductions, and petting, or even just start by getting on and riding – but everything we do out here has a purpose."
Alberson says Gimblet is very patient with the horses and the therapists, which allows their clients to also stay in a nice calm place, without having a reaction.
"That's the key to being an amazing volunteer," said Alberson. "She really understands the purpose of what she's doing, why she's doing it, and truly knowing the benefit behind it."
Jeff Hearne, parent of Ethan, a Hearts and Hooves client, speaks to just how important it is to have a familiar face in the arena when the children come to do their therapy.
"Knowing that Ethan is familiar with the people who he comes out here with really helps him progress with his therapies," said Hearne. "Elaine has been leading Ethan for quite some time. It makes me feel good, knowing that there are people who are caring, and who want to do this."

While installing Linux, it asks for a 'mount point' selection. I gave it
/, but I don't know the exact meaning and aim of this.
Also, now I want to create one more mount point,
/home in my machine with the already installed Linux with mount point
/. Is it possible to do that from my current Linux install? If yes, what are the steps/commands?
My understanding of 'mount point' is, when I need to preserve my
/home contents in a safer way that it won't get deleted if my current Linux get corrupted. For example, by detaching and connecting the hard disk from the machine with corrupted Linux to a new Linux machine, I should get my
/home content.

Autoimmune HepatitisAutoimmune Hepatitis - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis and Treatment
What is autoimmune hepatitis?
Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver, resulting in liver cell damage and destruction. In autoimmune hepatitis, the body's own immune system destroys the cells of the liver. It is a chronic inflammatory liver disease with no known cause. It is associated with a disorder called hypergammaglobulinemia. Hypergammaglobulinemia is a disorder where there are too many circulating protein antibodies in the blood. A chronic infection or certain malignant blood diseases may cause hypergammaglobulinemia. Autoimmune hepatitis may resolve without treatment in some individuals, but, for the majority of individuals, it is chronic and can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure.
Autoimmune hepatitis may be classified as type 1 or type 2. Type 1 (classic) is the most common form. It may occur at any age but usually affects young women more than men. Also, other autoimmune disorders can be associated with type 1 such as thyroiditis, Grave's disease, and ulcerative colitis. Type 2 generally affects girls between ages two and 14, but does occur in adults.
What are the symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis?
The following are the most common symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)
Abdominal pain
Severe acne
Joint pain
Joint swelling
Cessation of menses
Chest pain
Large abdomen due to large liver and spleen
Spider-like blood vessels in the skin
Dark urine
Pale or gray-colored stools
Ascites (fluid buildup in the abdominal cavity)
The symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
How is autoimmune hepatitis diagnosed?
In addition to complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for autoimmune hepatitis may include the following:
Specific laboratory blood tests, such as the following:
Liver function studies
Cellular blood counts
Bleeding times
Electrolyte tests
Tests for other chemicals in the body
Autoimmune antibodies
Computed tomography (CT) scan. This diagnostic imaging procedure uses a combination of X-rays and computer technology to produce cross-sectional images (often called slices), both horizontally and vertically, of the body. A CT scan shows detailed images of any part of the body, including the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than general X-rays.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI is a diagnostic procedure that uses a combination of large magnets, radio frequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of organs and structures within the body. The patient lies on a bed that moves into the cylindrical MRI machine. The machine takes a series of pictures of the inside of the body using a magnetic field and radio waves. The computer enhances the pictures produced. The test is painless, and doesn't involve exposure to radiation. Because the MRI machine is like a tunnel, some people are claustrophobic or unable to hold still during the test, and may be given a sedative to help them relax. Metal objects can't be present in the MRI room, so people with pacemakers or metal clips or rods inside the body can't have this test done. All jewelry must be removed before the procedure.
Liver biopsy. A procedure in which tissue samples from the liver are removed (with a needle or during surgery) from the body for examination under a microscope.
What is the treatment for autoimmune hepatitis?
Specific treatment for autoimmune hepatitis will be determined by your physician based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Eextent of the disease
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
Expectations for the course of the disease
Your opinion or preference
The goal of treatment for autoimmune hepatitis is to drive the disease into remission (complete or partial absence of symptoms). This is done by taking corticosteroids and immunosuppressive medications. Remission may take six months to a year or longer to occur. If an individual develops liver failure, a liver transplant may be considered.

Norton leads in league finale
Whittell senior Hughston Norton added one more first-place finish in the final Tahoe Basin League race of the regular season at Heavenly on Tuesday.
Norton squeaked out a win by .04 of a second to help lead the Whittell boys to their strongest finish yet, third place. Senior teammate Kody Dangtongdee helped Whittell land in third with a 14th-place finish in 1:05.2.
The South Tahoe boys placed four skiers in the top 10, and took the boys' team win with 200 points to runner-up North Tahoe's 196. Whittell picked up third with 168 points, followed by Truckee (154), Douglas (128), Carson (94) and Incline (70). South Tahoe's boys won the regular-season title, Truckee was second and North Tahoe third.
North Tahoe's Nico Monforte (52.27) finished runner-up, a split second behind Norton's 52.23. Truckee's Scotty Lebel took third in a time of 55.66.
South Tahoe's Alec Jobbins just missed the podium, cruising in for a fourth-place overall in 56.57.
Teammate's Connor McKeen (6th, 59.6), Jason Elder (8th, 1:00.7), Connor Henderson (10th, 1:03.6) and Grant Fagen (15th, 1:05.4) made up the top Vikings' times.
South Tahoe's Mikaela Clothier led the lady Vikings with a third-place finish in 59.64.
North Tahoe's Francesca English picked up first, finishing with a two-run combined time of 55.33 seconds to lead the field of nearly 50 racers. Maureen Lebel, racing for Truckee, finished second in 58.98.
Clothier has emerged as one of the Vikings most reliable racers this season.
"All year long she's been very consistent," South Tahoe coach Mike Shreve said.
Just how consistent has Clothier been?
She's turned in top five finishes at every race, which is exactly what Shreve asked of her at the beginning of the season.
Maia Bickert wasn't far behind Clothier with a ninth-place finish (1:10.5).
A fall in her second run cost Bickert a podium finish. She had to climb back up the hill a few feet to avoid the DNF. Even with the mistake, the speedy South Tahoe skier still finished in the top 10.
Cassidy McDonough (14th, 1:13.5) and Andi Ebright (15th, 1:14.7) rounded out the top times for the lady Vikings.
Whittell's Michael Gardner turned in her usual speedy runs with a combined eighth-place finish in 1:06. Hot on her heels was teammate Danica Bunnett in 12th (1:12.9).
North Tahoe's girls won the team competition with 198 points to runner-up Truckee's 188 and South Tahoe's 187. The Douglas girls were fourth with 159 points, followed by Whittell (158), Carson (108) and Incline (96), which did not have a full team of girls or boys.
Between their boys and girls combined, North Tahoe won the overall with a score of 394 points. The Lakers were followed by South Tahoe (387), Truckee (342), Whittell (326), Douglas (287), Carson (108) and Incline (166).
South Tahoe won the overall regular-season title, while North Tahoe was second and Truckee third.
Non-state duals
Non-state skiers met on the Alpine Slopes on Thursday for a head-to-head division qualifier competition.
Cassidy McDonough stood out among the Vikings, missing the top two spots by a split second.
"Our highlight was Cassidy McDonough, who's a first year racer, took third," Shreve said. "Her total differential time in both runs against her opponent, who went on to win, was only .01 seconds. I've only seen that happen twice before."
Luc Daum also made it into semifinals and came away with fourth place.
Bryce Kortge, Trent Leonard and Geddy Miller all made it into quarterfinals.
For the girls, Tegan Grant also made it into quarterfinals.
The race was on Kangaroo Run with perfect course conditions and weather.
Shreve also took a run down the course when the Truckee High School ski coach challenged him to a race.
"Pat Mooney slapped me with the glove, and I took the challenge and had to keep him humble," Shreve said. "He's a really good skier. I just happened to ski a little quicker than him today."
UP NEXT: The state championship races are scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 25-26, at Sierra-at-Tahoe.
