We have all seasoned driving after having a few drinks and while we would never drive when we know that we can not, you cannot say with the law. When a police officer stops you when you are under that condition and makes you take the test to determine your alcohol level and they learn that you have a higher level than the minimum then you're in for trouble. Who could state that they won't be in that sort of circumstance?
When that happens you are going to need the best DUI lawyer that you can find in order to get you off the hook. These are the type of attorneys who focus on DUI cases. Here are some ideas that you can make use of in discovering the ideal legal representative for you situation:
1. Do not rely on the claim of the lawyer that they are proficient in dealing with DUI cases. As legal representatives they can always make that claim since they have actually studied the laws that apply to your case.
That does not suggest that they concentrate on it. If you keep reading some ad that they can manage any sort of case then be suspicious. Search for specialized education and advance training on the specified field.
2. Be wary of those who concentrate on everything. It might be possible that they try to stay up to date with all the updates on the legal field including those that apply to DUI cases however that would only indicate that they can not completely focus on that. They would not be able to offer you the very best type of help that you require.
3. See if a lawyer recognizes with the tests conducted by the policeman out in the field to figure out if you are sober or not. In fact you need to try to find just just familiarity. You have to see if they are really experts in it. They should comprehend all the treatments included and how it all works so they can help you out.
4. Your lawyer should likewise be familiar with the devices used by the field officers in testing your sobriety. Your defence may depend upon just how much they recognize with those devices.
5. Don't choose legal representatives who are not familiar with the tests made use of on the laboratory for determining the alcohol level in your body. The best starkville and columbus area DUI attorneys visit here
6. Never choose the legal representative who informs you right away on how the case will certainly end up in your preliminary conference. A great legal representative will never do that. They will need to go through with the facts first prior to they inform you anything.

Mann's Depth Plus Series Crankbaits
The Mann's Depth Plus Series Crankbaits are floating, rattling divers, designed to run to a designated depth - deeper than most crankbaits. The 20+ was the first to break the elusive 20-foot mark and is a favorite of bass tournament anglers, while the 30+ is the deepest diver in its class. The patented Davis System Lip allows for greater depth with less resistance than you'll find with other crankbaits on the market. Trolling and long casts with lighter line assure deeper operating ranges. Mann's Lures set the standard for deep running crankbaits.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Mann's Depth Plus Series Crankbaits are buoyant and have a wide wobble. This movement "fights" against the reel making it hard for the lure to reach its' prescribed depth. Add some Storm SuspenDots or Storm SuspenStrips, this will help with the buoyancy. The wide movement will always have a presence in this lure. The wobble is one of the many distinguishing attributes that make Mann's Depth Plus Series Crankbaits great!
From: William: Thomaston, GA 1/19/15
Comments: These are classics sure but for less money you can get a soul5 victory deep or strike king 20 foot bait. both have better finishes and get down deeper. I'm slowly moving away from these.
From: John: Long Island, NY 11/18/14
Comments: Purchased the 30+ hoping to hit bottom at a local lake but barely got bottom in 17 ft with it. Highly disappointed and has been taken out of my box. Norman DD22's, Pre-Rapala Storm Mag Warts, Bombers, Strike Kings are all better options to hit that 17-20 range.
From: Bryan: Bloomingdale, IL
Comments: Good fish catchers for the money. Just don't dive past 16 feet or so on a long cast with 12lb fluorocarbon.
From: Joe: ME
Comments: It's a poor quality crankbait, it does not run even close to what Mann's claims, I fished the 30+ in 17 ft of water and it did not touch the bottom, spend your money on Norman DD 22s.
From: JF: NY
Comments: Huge deep diver, just doesnt get the depth that the bait promises. I fished it at a local quarry lake and in the area that was about 25 ft deep the Mann 30+ wasnt even hitting bottom. Also agree with Pete about the Eyes, Mann could have done a little better.
From: Bryan: IL
Comments: These are nice quality lures and they really get down deep - however - could you spend the extra 2 cents and install some nice glass eyes...These cheezy red eyes make the lure look cheap. I put my own on. Dont know if it causes any more strikes, but it sure makes ME feel better.

Every summer automotive students travel more than 5,000 miles from Boryeong, South Korea to Shoreline Community College to participate in a customized cultural program that includes automotive and ESL curricula as well as field trips to local dealerships and community events. The partnership between Shoreline and Ajou Motor College was developed as part of Shoreline's commitment to internationalizing education.
"Our partnership with Ajou Motor College is a perfect example of our commitment to encourage international learning and to bridge cultural and social gaps by promoting understanding," college President Lee Lambert said, "and it supports the City of Shoreline's Sister City Partnership with the City of Boryeong."
On Friday, July 1, 2011, Ajou Professor Kab Yong Choi, Ph.D., and 20 Ajou students arrived at Shoreline to begin their two-week visit. This year's program was unique in that it was designed so that the visiting students would have as much time as possible with students enrolled in the college's General Service Technician (GST) program.
According to GST instructor Mark Hankins, the Ajou students study more of a production design curriculum at home rather than the diagnostics/repair curriculum that Shoreline students experience. "It's a nice change and opportunity for these students," Hankins said about the hands-on curriculum he designed for the visitors that included a class with GST students.
ESL instructor Betsy Binnian, who team teaches with Hankins, designed an ESL curriculum to not only help the students in the classroom but to interact with their host families and GST students as well as enjoy shopping excursions and other tourist activities.
"I think the students want to have a good time in their English classes, so I've tried to keep things light and fun," she said. "Every chance they get to interact with our students supports our goal," Binnian said, referring to the cultural aspect of the program.
With a few English classes under their belts, the Ajou students enjoyed working with GST students on an auto suspension project. Working in small groups, the students identified different types of suspension systems, using an online auto specification service and then presented their findings.
"I think this was their favorite class," Hankins said, "not only because they were doing something they had never done before, but because they got to work with our students."
The Ajou students also enjoyed using Snap-on tools in an engine control and scan tool class. Using handheld diagnostic computers they monitored how all systems were functioning on a Cadillac Escalade, an Acura TL, a Dodge Challenger and a Toyota FJ Cruiser. Hankins said they really enjoyed using the state-of-the-art tools as they don't have the opportunity to use the tools and technology of auto repair back home. He also expressed their enthusiasm to work on American cars. "Back home, they experience only Korean cars," Hankins said.
Ajou students Byeong-yeon Park, MJ Lee and Chang gi Goo took time out to talk about their experiences. They said they greatly enjoyed being able to work on new American cars and especially, on trucks, something they don't experience in Korea. They also appreciated using the Snap-on Tools, expressing what great tools they were. The dealership connection that Shoreline students experience was also something they found impressive.
The visitors also enjoyed listening to students from the Chrysler, General Motors, Honda and Toyota programs talk about their respective programs and personal internship experiences.
GST students joined the Ajou students on several field trips, including visits to the Pike Place Market, Kenworth/Paccar, Boeing, the Museum of Flight, the LeMay Museum, Lexus of Bellevue and Lee Johnson Chevrolet in Kirkland.
Pollie McCloskey, Assistant Director, International Education, who coordinated the field trips also coordinated home stay opportunities for the students to not only provide a place for the students to stay but to provide more opportunities for them to experience the lifestyle of Americans.
According to international student (automotive) Dong-Kin Choi, who provided translation services, the students said they really appreciated staying with the host families and learned a lot about American culture. "They found the dynamics of the American family to be really interesting," Choi said, referring to the open communication style.
Professor Choi, who joined the students for all classes and field trips, said the partnership between Ajou and Shoreline provides students the opportunity to enhance their education while supporting their global understanding and leadership development. President Lambert thanked him and the students for embracing cultural and educational exchange at a farewell and certificate celebration on Thursday, July 14. He also thanked John Chang, the man behind the City of Shoreline's Sister City Partnership with Boryeong, who joined them at the event. Vice President John Backes and Lambert shook hands with each student as they received their certificates.
"None of this would have been possible without their amazing help," McCloskey said, explaining that Jinju Kim (VCT) and Choi worked as translators during the two-week visit. Both took time to help out in classes and field trips as well as in a video interview. Everyone in the room applauded the two.
The Ajou/Shoreline program, now in its fifth year, is the result of a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2006 by President Lambert and Ajou to support educational exchanges.

SolarFest includes information about alternative and sustainable energy solutions as well as music, food, kids activities and a beer garden.
The future and the past will come together for fun day of food, music, information and beautiful vehicles this Saturday, July 16, 2011 at Shoreline Community College.
July 16 events info
VW Show and Swap
Parking for both events
Looking toward the horizon, the college will host the 8th annual SolarFest, a celebration of all things related to renewable energy and sustainable living. SolarFest is a production of the Shoreline Solar Project, founded in 2004 to promote the practical application of renewable energy and environmentally responsible practices to enhance the economic, ecological, and social environment of our community.
At the same time, looking in a probably rare and lovingly restored rearview mirror will be the 30th anniversary version of the NW Vintage VW Car Show and Swap Meet. Sponsored by the venerable Cascade Kombis car club, the show and swap is the centerpiece of their Vintage Volkswagen Weekend, which includes a Friday, July 15, cruise centered at the Burgermaster restaurant in Seattle's University Village and followed by Sunday's Bug Nationals, drag racing for Volkswagens at Bremerton Raceway
"We're excited and honored to host these two great events that have such synergies with our equally great programs here at Shoreline," said Shoreline Community College President Lee Lambert.
"Our Clean Energy Technology Program was the first of its kind in the state and the first to graduate students trained for the jobs of the future under Gov. Gregoire's call for 25,000 new green-collar jobs," Lambert said. "Our Professional Automotive Training Center leads the nation in preparing technicians to work with the latest automotive technology and meeting the needs of students and industry."
With more than 85 booths, exhibitors and vendors, SolarFest is an event for all ages. The festival includes booths on the latest solar and other alternative energy systems, recycling, electric cars and other sustainable-living interests. The electric vehicle area will include Tesla roadsters, Nissan LEAFs and the Chevy Volt as well as home-builts and conversions. Perhaps the highlight will be The Viking 45, Western Washington University's entrant for the X-Prize that can get the equivalent of 172 miles to the gallon.
The must-see of the event will be special guest Graham Kerr, formerly known as the Galloping Gourmet. Kerr will be giving solar cooking demonstrations as well as morning and afternoon presentations on what he's termed "The Double Benefit." He'll have his newest book available at the event's Solar Store and, while supplies last, attendees can get a free bonus book.
SolarFest includes a KIDZone that will have mini solar-powered cars as giveaways to the first 300 children and even a farmer's market area.
There will also be food vendors, a beer garden featuring Sierra Nevada Brewing and music and other entertainment, including the Yogoman Burning Band. Admission to SolarFest is free.
NW Vintage VW Car Show and Swap Meet
This car show and swap meet has been on the calendars of Volkswagen enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates vintage automobiles for 30 years. In honor of that anniversary, the organizers are raffling off a rare 1955 Beetle with tickets at just $1.
Organizers expect more than 200 Beetles, buses, squarebacks, slantbacks, Things and other air-cooled VWs to be on display. The meet also includes food vendors for everyone and trophies for the winners of the many categories of vehicles. For those looking for that rare VW part you think no longer exists, the swap meet area is one of the largest of the year. General admission to the VW show area is $7. For those wishing to show a vehicle, preregistration is encouraged, but signups are taken the day of the event for a $15 fee.

Don't Buy
"The first sign that these weren't meant to be was the zipper. I am by no means sensitive or picky about the way my shoes fit, but the zipper on the back rubbed my heel raw--I had crazy blisters and had to wear band-aids with them until I developed callouses, and even then it was still pretty uncomfortable, but the sandals were cute and I didn't want to go through the hassle of returning them, so I decided to just live with it. The soles were incredibly stiff and did not give at all when I walked, so that it was pretty much like strapping boards to my feet. Plus, the strap in between my toes turned yellow almost immediately--not something you'd think about when you were buying the shoes, but an obvious problem in hindsight. Despite all this, I was STILL willing to just live with the shoes--no one will ever underestimate my laziness in returning things--until one of the straps broke while I was walking into the campus bookstore. The wear-and-tear from my toes rubbing against it just ripped through the strap like paper. I had to buy my math textbook barefoot. I had had the sandals for barely a month. Don't buy these."

Re: Feedback for this week...
I enjoyed the show for the lack of content that was to be covered, but that's just it... I feel efforts could pursue other topics of games.
My main thought is the Pocket Edition show that is now on to summarise everything. When Hex said "Think of it your dlc for good game". I picture a show based on the DLC of games which is highly popular for gamers.
Topics that could be covered is:
-Borderlands 2 dlc
-Battlefield 2 dlc
-Call of Duty dlc etc.
I know that skyrim dlc gets covered but it would be interesting to hear the review of dlc for games. As at least it would be helping us make decisions on gaming purchases that we are going to make.
Also, tips and tricks of maps and games wouldn't go astray?
I'm not sure if this is good feedback or not, just something I feel the show is missing while we're watching an 8 minute spiel on what a "Reboot" of a game is... (I usually enjoy Goose's research though, and appreciate the efforts he goes to).

Show was ok, though I thought goose's segment went on a little long, but in saying that I do generally enjoy his segments.
I would like to see more in depth 'look backs' at characters and games, I guess like backwards compatible used to be, though I understand it is usually only done in relation to a 'new' game of a long running franchise.

Good episode this week.
My only nitpick would be that you shouldn't put the introductory game name title boxes over the top of in game text boxes if you can avoid it.
Just the underlying in game text box draws the eye, and it's frustrating when you can't read it.

If Bajo seriously thinks that Crysis 3 and Persona 4 Golden are both 7.5 games, then I have lost what little respect that I had for him. Persona 4 is a 9.5 and Crysis looks like a 7 at best.
I know that Persona doesn't have as many right wing soldiers blowing up stuff every 5 minutes but for Gods sake...

HAHA totally agree. Bajo needs to step down as the Good Game front man, as ive also seen some questionable scores from him in relation to the DMC REBOOT ( I hope everyone learnt from this weeks ep?) and MGR ( a sad 8/10 for a game that deserves a 9)
It seems that Hex is not afraid to practically give her seal of approval to THEIR fan base?

It is all up to personal opinion, I personally think persona would bore me to tears... They have a ratings system (whether they still use it???) in the FAQ's. I will put it below, but it is a good scale to go by.
How do you rate games?
How we score:
10 - Perfection ...Or for some other reason deserving full marks, such as going against the grain to create something completely new. A triumph in game design.
Example: Guitar Hero 2, Half-Life 2, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
9 - Awesomesauce. A memorable experience, one of the standout games of its time.
Example: Bioshock, God of War 2, Gears of War, Elite Beat Agents.
8 - Great. Lots of fun. Not exactly ground breaking, or perhaps shipped with a few unforgiveable imperfections, but good enough to be considered a classic.
Example: Lego Star Wars 2, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade, Virtua Tennis 3.
7 - Good. A decent, forgettable way to spend 10 or so hours.
Example: Resistance: Fall of Man, Saint's Row.
6 - Average. Provides mild entertainment, but you can find better without much effort.
Example: Spiderman 3, Demon Chaos, Dead Rising.
5 - Bland. Nothing quite broke about the game, but no reason to play it either.
Example: Need for Speed: Carbon, Cooking Mama, TMNT.
4 - Bad. A waste of money and time.
Example: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, GH Rocks the 80's
3 - Broken, The game was too buggy to enjoy at all.
2 - Terribad/Ubersuck. The "game" may have had some decent box art or came with a free hat.
1 - Insulting. You become less interested in all games and possibly life in general because you had the misfortune to know of its existence.
0 - Didn't work
Bajo gave 7.5 to both games, I take that as both games did nothing ground breaking (same as the previous games in the series / other games of the same genre), but were fun and did function, but with a few flaws (these flaws being mainly dialogue and bits of gameplay).
Just remember, Bajo and Hex have been playing games for many years, and have seen them grow into the industry we know today, hence they have a vast knowledge of what games have shown us, and can point out when a game does something new that can either make or break the game. I found Junglist did this very well when he was still on the show (

Re: Feedback for this week...
Well put @saucepan. It's his opinion and I've generally agreed with his opinion (with the exception of his comment on Dishonored's graphics). I'me getting worried about Crysis. The first one was ground-breaking, maybe not a perfect game but it was something new. Crysis 2 was far too linear in my mind. Less strategy means less fun to me. If I believe the GG review then Crysis 3 is just a rehash. This means it's becoming simular to the CoD formula which cannot be a good thing. I hope the next iteration will be as revolutionary as the first, for all our sakes.

I can't believe Goose spent that long explaining the difference between a reboot and a sequel. Dear God, they must have been hard-up coming up with ideas for segments.
[quote]"point out when a game does something new that can either make or break the game. I found Junglist did this very well when he was still on the show"[/quote]
Junglist is a far better reviewer than both Bajo and Hex combined. He still does the occasional review over at 5 Inch Floppy on GameArena, definitely worth checking out if you haven't done so yet.
That's not to say I don't enjoy Bajo's and Hex's reviews, GG is still worth tuning in for

Re: Feedback for this week...
With odd games like Proteus or Dear Esther, or other titles that will be coming out like them in future, I personally think it would be a great idea to either not cover them or cover them without scoring them.
The ranking of games is subjective enough without expecting Bajo and Hex to give these weird things a definitive mark.
If there's something cool about them that deserves attention maybe give them a mention? But marking those games from the perspective of a show usually about games with a challenge imo just can't do justice to the content they're marking.
Not to say that I like them, I find them unbearable, but I suspect that others might not think so. Putting them into your show about standard games and then rating them is really awkward, AND going in depth on them is time you could spend on talking about more interesting content.
Imo, I dunno for sure how many Goodgame viewers are playing those games. I just suspect not many.

I agree with this somewhat. I loved it when Ben Croshaw (Zero Punctuation) said [quote]"
.... And I don't believe in scores because I don't believe a complex opinion can be represented numerically "[/quote] , because it is quite true, which is why I like reviews that justify why it got a particular score, with a number system I stated above, as well as reasons/justification on why they gave it that score. I personally love reviews without scores.

Question 1 of 30
Which of the following treatments is considered one of medicine's oldest remedies?
insulin coma therapy
Bloodletting is thought to have begun among the ancient Egyptians. It was used by Greek physicians, was popular throughout the Roman empire and was the standard treatment for many health problems, from plague to pox, in medieval Europe. By the end of the 19th century, bloodletting's popularity waned not because it could (and often did) result in accidental death, but because of new treatments and discoveries.

The Radiendocrinator, which was a 2-by-3 inch (5-by-8 centimeter) case containing radium-infused paper (250 microcuries or 9.25 million becquerel), was intended to be worn against the skin "like an athletic strap."

Wizard Oil, aka snake oil, claimed to cure pretty much everything. Bleeding gums? Check. Cholera? Yup. Sprains and cramps, too. Its boldest claim, though, was that it could erase your pain away — and from any beast, for that matter.

At one time I used this blog to explore and support the theory and practice of modernized, flesh-based paleo and low-carb diets.
Now I use it to explore and present the evidence and values that support the practice of a whole foods plant-based diet as a way to enhance your physical, mental, ethical, and spiritual potential.
It now includes many posts offering a critical evaluation of some of the central tenets of paleo, low-carb, and Weston A Price Foundation belief systems, and an exploration of other topics of prime importance to humans in these times of escalating medical, social, ethical, and ecological challenges.
If you want to know why I made the change, you will find plenty of food for thought on the pages I have written here since early 2011, particularly since my Farewell To Paleo post on June 14 of 2011.

STATEN ISLAND, NY – Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH), part of the
North Shore-LIJ Health System, was recognized for its commitment and success in implementing excellent care for stroke patients with the
American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Get With The Guidelines®–Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award, the health system announced today.
To receive the award, SIUH achieved 85 percent or higher adherence to all Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Quality Achievement indicators for two or more consecutive 12-month intervals and achieved 75 percent or higher compliance with five out of nine Get With The Guidelines-Stroke Quality Measures, which are reporting initiatives to measure quality of care.
These measures include aggressive use of medications, such as antithrombotics, anticoagulation therapy, deep vein thrombosis prophylaxis, cholesterol-reducing drugs and smoking cessation, all aimed at reducing death and disability and improving the lives of stroke patients.
In addition to the Get With The Guidelines-Stroke award, SIUH has also been recognized as a recipient of the association's Target: Stroke Honor Roll for improving stroke care. Over the past quarter, at least 50 percent of the hospital's eligible ischemic stroke patients have received tissue plasminogen activator, or tPA, within 60 minutes of arriving at the hospital (known as 'door-to-needle' time). A thrombolytic, or clot-busting agent, tPA is the only drug approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the urgent treatment of ischemic stroke. If given intravenously in the first three hours after the start of stroke symptoms, tPA has been shown to significantly reverse the effects of stroke and reduce permanent disability.
"We are dedicated to making our care for stroke patients among the best in the country. The American Heart Association's Get With The Guidelines–Stroke program helps us to accomplish this goal," said Souhel Najjar, MD, SIUH's chair of neurology and director of stroke. "This recognition demonstrates that we are on the right track and we're very proud of our team."
"Staten Island University Hospital is to be commended for its commitment to implementing standards of care and protocols for treating stroke patients," said Lee H. Schwamm, M.D., chair of the Get With The Guidelines National Steering Committee and director of the TeleStroke and Acute Stroke Services at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. "The full implementation of acute care and secondary prevention recommendations and guidelines is a critical step in saving lives and improving outcomes of stroke patients."
Get With The Guidelines-Stroke, uses the "teachable moment," the time soon after a patient has had a stroke, when they are most likely to listen to and follow their healthcare professionals' guidance. Studies demonstrate that patients who are taught how to manage their risk factors while still in the hospital reduce their risk of a second heart attack or stroke.
Through Get With The Guidelines-Stroke, customized patient education materials are made available at the point of discharge, based on patients' individual risk profiles. The take-away materials are written in an easy-to-understand format and are available in English and Spanish. In addition, the Get With The Guidelines Patient Management Tool gives healthcare providers access to up-to-date cardiovascular and stroke science at the point of care.
"The time is right for Staten Island University Hospital to be focused on improving the quality of stroke care by implementing Get With The Guidelines-Stroke. The number of acute ischemic stroke patients eligible for treatment is expected to grow over the next decade due to increasing stroke incidence and a large aging population," said Dr. Najjar.
According to the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association, stroke is one of the leading cases of death and serious, long-term disability in the United States. On average, someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds; someone dies of a stroke every four minutes; and 795,000 people suffer a new or recurrent stroke each year.

WBY Shootout: Rice Lake 56, Dominican 42
by Eric Nehm
posted Dec 27 2013 7:34PM
After one close half of basketball, Rice Lake pulled away from Dominican and never looked back on their way to a 56-42 victory in the WBY Shootout at Concordia University.
In the first quarter, things were pretty even as Rice Lake were in the lead by one point over Dominican, 13-12. The storyline going into the game was Diamond Stone vs. Henry Ellenson, but the important plays in the quarter were made by each player's supporting cast with Stone scoring four and Ellenson scoring six in the first quarter.
The game remained even through the second quarter as Rice Lake held only a five point lead, 25-20, going into the second half. At the half, Ellenson edged Stone in scoring, 11-6.
The storyline before the game was Henry Ellenson vs. Diamond Stone, but the real story of the game was between the two teams and Rice Lake proved why they were the better team in the third quarter. Just two minutes into the third quarter, Rice Lake had three three point baskets from three different players and stretched their lead out to 14 points with a 36-22 lead.
Dominican started thr fourth quarter down by 19 points and attempted to mount a comeback. With 5:18 left, Dominican was able to cut it the deficit all the way down to nine following three baskets from Diamond Stone, but were unable to get any closer after that and lost 56-42.
Quick Thoughts:
All the attention was obviously on Diamond Stone and Henry Ellenson, but Rice Lake's junior point guard Ben Widdes really did a nice job running the show for Rice Lake. He did a great job handling pressure and dictating tempo for Rice Lake.
Rice Lake senior guard Brandyn Christman is a nice shooter for Rice Lake. He hit a few big threes and used his shot fake to make plays.
6'5" Trapper Ward took Stone for a small portions of the game to give Ellenson a break on defense and he did a really great job defensively. He did a good job using his strength to slow down Stone until help came from the backside.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that many people may think Henry Ellenson is the lone reason why Rice Lake is a highly rated Division II team, but they would be wrong. This is a truly impressive TEAM and will likely do some damage come tournament time.
Dominican looks significantly different than they did last year. With Duane Wilson on the squad last year, Stone posted up constantly, but was playing second fiddle to Wilson. This season, Dominican makes a concerted effort to look inside to Stone every single possession.
Stone is just a load down low. He does a good job getting post position and has soft touch around the basket. He is a monster on the glass and blocking shots. I was just as impressed with him this season as I was last season.
Dominican's junior guard Tywon Bressler Jr. does a really nice job getting to the rack and using his quickness and the attention given to Stone to exploit defenders and get easy baskets.
This is the second year in a row I've came away impressed by Jack Jelacic from Dominican at the WBY Shootout. The 6'7" senior does it all for Dominican including tough rebounding, blocking shots, and showing off a little range.
Though Stone (6'10") and Ellenson (6'9") are both tall, Stone is definitely a post player and Ellenson is definitely a wing.
This was my first time seeing Ellenson and I came away impressed. He has a nice handle for a player his size and does a good job creating off the dribble. Though he struggled from the field tonight, he does have a good looking stroke and he can get that shot off against just about anyone.
Stone fouled out with 1:43 remaining.
Stone finished with 21 points and Ellenson ended with 17.
Both teams will be in action again tomorrow. Rice Lake takes on Neenah at 3 p.m. while Dominican will face off against Catholic Memorial at 4:30 p.m.
Up Next: Germantown vs. Milwaukee Vincent

Construction crews have removed hundreds of tons of dirt and debris as they prepare the site for the ultra-modern $40 million complex where the Air Force Academy's Center for Character and Leadership Development will be housed starting in late 2014.
The project is a fiscal year 2011 appropriation and is not impacted by the sequester.
Character and leadership development is a crucial, all-encompassing part of a cadet's experience at the United States Air Force Academy.
The Center for Character and Leadership Development ensures that character development, education and scholarship are major focus of academy life.
From basic training to graduation cadets can expect to see character development programs in every aspect of their lives with the ultimate goal of imbuing them with the inner desire to put integrity first, place service before self and strive for excellence in all they do.
The Air Force Academy's CCLD has served as a focal point of the academy's commitment to developing leaders of character since its creation in 1993. Its mission is to advance the understanding, practice and integration of character and leadership development in preparation for service to the nation.
Of the $40 million being spent on the project $27.5 million comes from the fiscal year 2011 military construction budget and $12.5 million from donors.
The architect for the building is Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the firm that originally planned the academy campus and designed the buildings, including the Cadet Chapel.
The CCLD building is being built in the heart of a National Historic Landmark District; therefore the academy has proactively included the historic preservation community in the design.
"The CCLD building is an iconic architectural concept that symbolically states our commitment to character and leadership development," said Duane Boyle, deputy director of Directorate of Installations of the Air Force Academy.
"Polaris has long been a navigation tool used to guide the traveler. Likewise it symbolically relates to one's own ethical and moral journey through life. The steel and glass tower aligns with Polaris sending a powerful message to all that leadership and character development is paramount in all that we do."
"The transparency of the architecture is indicative of the serious nature of its function: the free exchange of thoughts, opinions and knowledge in an open environment," he continued. "Our new center places the academy at the pinnacle of character and leadership development nationally and will spark the interest of all who believe that our nation's future is based on thoughtful, careful and meaningful decisions of our leadership, both military and civilian."

Sterling Ranch has been a developing story for years.
More than a decade ago, managing director Harold Smethills and his wife, Diane, began crafting their vision for developing 3,400 acres of land in northwest Douglas County. In 2009, they filed a planned-development application with Douglas County. In 2011, the project gained the county's approval — but only after numerous public hearings and convincing commissioners they had a plan to satisfy concerns raised over traffic, density and water.
Then, in 2012, a lawsuit by the Chatfield Community Association led to a district court judge's ruling that the $4.4 billion project did not have sufficient water to break ground. Early this year, Sterling Ranch officials submitted a filing to the county stating that they had secured enough water to meet the requirements.
If that weren't enough, the state Legislature was busy this spring clarifying the very law the judge leaned on for his ruling. The legislators' modification makes it clear that developers need only to prove adequate water at each phase of construction, not for the entire buildout.
The latest development in this story is set for July 10. That's when county commissioners will once again be asked to approve the Sterling Ranch project.
We have no reason to believe commissioners who sided with Sterling Ranch on the water issue more than two years ago won't do so again. They certainly should.
Sterling Ranch's planning has been water-savvy from the beginning. Owing to techniques like rainwater harvesting, the development is expected to consume only a third of the water a similar project might. In addition, the development will bring a source of water for neighbors whose wells are running dry.
But the 12,000-home project's benefits go beyond water-consciousness.
Consider some positive economic ramifications, as found by the firm Development Research Partners in a 2010 analysis:
• Sterling Ranch is expected to create about 1,000 construction-related jobs per year throughout the entirety of the buildout process, which is estimated to last 20 years or more. Then there are the permanent jobs: at least 9,000 of them.
• The economic benefit of construction activity is projected to be more than $400 million. At buildout, the community will be a driver of at least another $400 million of economic activity each year.
And there are more reasons to like the project. Among them:
• Sterling Ranch will bring new schools to the area, which will be utilized by children from neighboring areas like Roxborough.
• Nearly 40 percent of the sustainable community will be set aside for open space, wildlife and parks. It will also feature more than 30 miles of trails.
• It will include health care facilities, retailers and sports complexes that will be a convenience for residents and neighboring communities.
• Sterling Ranch has devised an emergency-management plan, one lauded by the South Metro Fire Rescue District, and the construction of new roads will facilitate traffic into and out of the development.
• Its density is not out of line with other communities in northern Douglas County.
Perhaps as important as anything is that thriving Douglas County, which has become a prime location for employers and their workforce, is in need of more places to live if it is to continue to grow. Highlands Ranch, for example, is near buildout.
The time has come for this story to include the development of Sterling Ranch.

Nissan Leaf Base Model Price Drops by More Than $6,000 to $28,800
Tiffany Kaiser
January 15, 2013 3:40 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The drop in prices are mainly due to the fact that Nissan has moved Leaf production from Japan to Tennessee
Nissan's Leaf
just experienced a dramatic price drop, making it the cheapest five-seater electric vehicle (EV) in the U.S. At the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn said the price of the base model 2013 Leaf has been cut by $6,400. Last year's base model went for $35,200, and now, the 2013 Leaf S will sell for $28,800 to start before a $7,500 federal tax credit (and any applicable state credit/rebate) is applied.
A couple of other Leaf models have seen a price cut as well. The Leaf SV will drop from last year's price of $35,200 to $31,820 this year. The Leaf SL is also going from $37,250 last year to $34,840 this year.
"With nearly 50,000 Leafs on the road globally, we are the leaders in zero emissions vehicles and our class-leading product just got better," said Billy Hayes, Global vice president of Leaf sales for Nissan. "From the very outset, Nissan has continuously advanced and refined the affordable zero emissions vehicle ownership experience. Now customers won't have to pay a premium for owning a green car that's really fun to drive, and that's exciting."
2013 Nissan Leaf
The drop in prices is mainly due to the fact that Nissan has moved Leaf production from Japan to Tennessee. It also has its lithium-ion batteries and motors manufactured there. Nissan announced that it began Leaf production at a new plant in Smyrna, Tennessee last Thursday. It will build the Leaf and gasoline vehicles in this plant, while building batteries at a separate plant next door. The plant is the result of a 2010 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) loan for $1.4 billion. According to the DOE, Nissan can build up to 150,000 Leafs and 200,000 batteries annually at the Tennessee plants
Nissan's Leaf had a rough time last year as far as sales and performance goes. In July 2012, Leaf owners in Arizona complained that their
EVs were losing significant battery capacity
in the desert's high heat. Nissan
responded by basically saying that this was normal
and promised more open communication with owners of the Leaf EV.
Later, Nissan had to admit that it
wasn't going to hit its sales mark for 2012
, which was 20,000 Leafs. Nissan only sold 9,819 Leafs for the whole year -- less than half of its goal, and only 1.5 percent higher than the number it sold in 2011.
"I mean, if you wanna break down someone's door, why don't you start with AT&T, for God sakes? They make your amazing phone unusable as a phone!" -- Jon Stewart on Apple and the iPhone

You do this in order to drink the oolong within a short period of time, not for a long term storage, right?
Yes, short term. My post was in reference to Stephane's blog article on tea containers. I have no experience with long term storing of teas except puerh.
