Cooper, a 6-3, 295-pound senior from Wilmington, N.C., was the runaway winner with a total of 29 points far outdistancing Clemson senior center Dalton Freeman (8) and North Carolina junior tackle James Hurst (6) to capture the 59th ACC Jacobs Blocking Trophy. No trophy was given in 1996. In all, 13 different ACC offensive linemen received votes in the balloting, but Cooper was named as the top choice on all but two ballots.
A four-year starter for North Carolina at guard and 2nd-team All-ACC selection in 2010 and 2011, Cooper last week became the first Tar Heel to be named a finalist for the prestigious Outland Trophy. He set a school record for games started yesterday when he started against Maryland, his 47th career start. Cooper has twice been honored as the ACC's Offensive Lineman of the Week this year for his play against Miami (Oct. 13) and NC State (Oct. 27). This year he has averaged a 90 percent grade and posted 10 or more knockdown blocks in nine of 12 contests.
"This is a tremendous honor for Jonathan," said North Carolina head coach Larry Fedora. "Coop is a tremendous player. He's very athletic, he moves his feet like a tight end and can be dominant at the point of attack. I told our coaching staff that we should be happy we were able to coach him for one year because you might not ever see another player like him. He's that special.
"I've learned from him this year and our team has benefitted from his leadership and service. As good a player as he is on the field, he's even a better person off the field."
Cooper helped lead a North Carolina offensive line which paved the way for an offense to be ranked 11th nationally scoring offense, averaging a school-best 40.6 points per game. UNC also ranks 17th nationally in total offense, averaging 485.6 yards a game, the best in school history.
He becomes the eighth North Carolina player to be named a recipient of the Jacobs Blocking Trophy, but the first in 24 years since former Tar Heel center Jeff Garnica captured the 1988 Trophy. Other UNC winners include Ron Wooten (1980), Ken Huff (1974), Ron Rusnak (1972), Geoff Hamlin (1971), Eddie Kesler (1964) and Jim LeCompte (1961).

"I've ordered these Valentine cards for my boys to give to their classmates. They are so adorable and my boys love them and can't wait to share them with their friends! The quality of the cards is very good and I highly recommend them! We also bought a Ninja Suckers to go with them!"
"These cards are soooo cute! I initially was looking for a card for my son to personalize to give out at his preschool. But I just couldn't pass these up for myself! As a mom of a boy...everything is cars, blue, more trucks, army fatigue...nothing pink! So as a teacher, I just had to make these for my kindergarten students! They came out soooo cute. I'm attaching an organic yummy lollipop to these and giving them out to my lil ones! I regret not making these years ago!"
"These are darling. My 11 year old daughter chose them to pass out to her class. They are small....traditional valentine size. They are perfect and different than other valentines in the stores. Quality card stock."
"Every year I order my sons valentine's day cards from you. Every year I am so happy when the cards arrive. He is 9 and still wants to send out your cards. We have friends whose children have saved his cards from year to year. I love this product and hope we have a few more years to send out these valentines :)"
"We had these printed for my son to give to his classmates for Valentine's day. They are just perfect! The size is small enough to fit into their mailboxes, and the cards are so cute! Of course, he loved them because of the cool-looking dragon! I loved being able to personalize them with his name so that he didn't have to sign each card. I'm sure they will by far be the best Valentine cards in the class. They came quickly and in plenty of time for Valentine's Day."

Theo Walcott believes the next month will be a major test of Arsenal's credentials, but says they are ready for the challenge.
Arsène Wenger's side host Fulham, Tottenham and Montpellier in successive weeks, before travelling to Aston Villa and then Everton.
It is a demanding schedule, but following their morale-boosting 2-2 draw at Schalke Walcott says Arsenal will go into these games in confident mood.
"Schalke came at us in the second half and we found it difficult to be honest," he told Arsenal Player. "But we dug deep and before the game we probably would have taken a point.
"When you come to a difficult place with a difficult atmosphere, against a good team who beat us at home, [it was great] to get the two early goals. It is just a shame we couldn't kill it off, but it was a good point in the end.
"It is going to be a tough month for us now. It is going to test us all, not just physically but mentally as well, and I think we are ready for it."
Walcott fought off illness to start the game at the Veltins-Arena and was delighted to score the opening goal and play so well.
"I didn't wake up feeling great [on Monday]," he said. "My voice is coming back now but I didn't have one then at all. But it was nice to be back playing with the guys, that is all I want to be doing now."

Fixture News | 24th August 2005
Outlaws collect two more points
Only eight overs were possible in the floodlit game at Chelmsford but Newell was not concerned about failing to get a result.
He said: ?Before the game started I thought anything we got would be a bonus and we?ve ended up with two more points.
?It?s not the end of the world. We now have the chance to go level with the group of teams on 22 points and that?s our target for the weekend.
?With four games left in such a tight division, we still have every chance of getting clear of relegation. The team have produced better performances as the season has gone on and I?m confident that will continue against Northants.?

Think Pink and Take Action
So why the hype each October? For starters, one in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer over the course of her lifetime, and it's predicted that more than 200,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in 2012. In short, most of us have been touched by someone who has (or had) breast cancer.
If you're a woman aged 40 or older, talk to your doctor about why it's important to be screened. While experts disagree on when and how often women should begin their mammograms, the American Cancer Society and
The fear of the unknown
Some women are afraid to have a mammogram because they are worried they may have cancer, and women previously diagnosed with breast cancer have an increased fear. After the initial screening, some women may receive a callback or a letter stating that an abnormality has been detected and needs further evaluation.
According to radiologist Kerri Hesley, M.D., of Associated Radiologists, most patients recalled do not have breast cancer. Some women have dense breasts that have more glandular than fatty tissue and make it more challenging for radiologists to interpret. A lump found could be a cyst—a fluid-filled sac. In either situation, the radiologist may want more pictures of your breasts, an ultrasound, or further testing. In the vast majority of callbacks, says Dr. Hesley, it's benign or normal tissue.
Mammogram Coverage
To stay committed to regular mammography screenings, it also helps to have health insurance. According to the American Cancer Society, coverage of mammograms for breast cancer screening is mandated by the Affordable Care Act, which provides that these be given without a co-pay or deductible beginning with plan years starting after
Women shouldn't have to make a choice between caring for their families and caring for themselves. The Make a Difference Breast Cancer program is a breast cancer outreach, education and screening project that provides services to uninsured and underinsured women of
To help keep this critical program running, the Meritus Health Designer Cup Challenge, an auction and reception, will take place on Friday, Oct. 26. "Bra art," created by some very artsy people, will be on display as well as donated silent auction items. You can enjoy a night of art, appetizers and cocktails knowing that proceeds go to the Make a Difference Breast Cancer program and the
Remember, annual mammography is important because some tumors are so small they cannot be felt—and survival is greater when you catch the disease early—before symptoms are present. So when you see pink this October, pick up the phone and schedule your mammogram, and if that task is already checked off your list, give a gentle reminder to a woman you know.

just wondering if anyone has used these? http://www.ebodyboarding.com/Wetstuf...mm-Ultra-Socks
They seem like they're pretty good, just looking for some feedback.
just wondering if anyone has used these? http://www.ebodyboarding.com/Wetstuf...mm-Ultra-Socks
They seem like they're pretty good, just looking for some feedback.
ya, h20 booties are best for fitting your fins in... I dont wear anything else.
But, as Scarecrow mentioned they do get holes in them fairly easily if you aren't careful...
Good thing though is they are fairly inexpensive as compared to hard bottom boots.
Most importantly, any idea of how to convince my mom to let me get a wetsuit and booties? she doesn't seem to think I'd be getting much use of out them and that "i dont need them"
I have a pair of 5 mm that I used through Decemeber last year and then again starting in April. They were good but my fins were a bit big in them so they always felt a bit loose. They also wore out in the bottom of the right one from just walking around in them on the sidewalk/concrete. I was considering this winter Jan-March doubling up on a pair of 3mm, or a 3mm and 5mm depending on which filled out the foot pocket of the fin better. My other thought was to use a pair of one of theses at 7 mm http://www.yazbeck.com/socks . I met a guy a few weeks ago who had them, and swore by them, but they have the same issue as the H20'S, the bottoms wore out. I've a couple idea's on how to solve that (involving super gluing some foot gels to the bottom of the sock), but I don't know anything about the seam construction. What would be awesome is for some wetsuit company to make a pair of socks with extra padding/rubber on the bottom where your foot presses against the concrete. So you get the flexiblity of a sock with a low foot profile, but the durablity on the bottom of a surf boot.
I'm thinking that wearing slippers or flip flops to combat the wear and tear issue from sidewalks would be a good idea
I don't put my fin socks on until I'm down on the beach, on the sand. No walking around on sidewalks and parking lots means they'll last a lot longer.
Ocmdsponger: Definitely on the flip flops or sandals or something this winter to protect the socks, esp if I end up getting the Yazbecks.
Scarecrow: I was thinking that, but then I have to mess around with rolling up the legs of the wetsuit. I think that screws up the seal on my feet, not to mention it stretches out the cuffs which I'm not to keen on doing.
I got em and i love them. They can rip easily but mine havent yet, but are super comfortable
whats the coldest temp. you guys have used them in? Im also looking to get the hyperflex hot socks, i figure they would help on colder days.

An early morning fire in Schuyler County Wednesday killed a woman.
Firefighters from Tyrone, Dundee, Wayne, Watkins Glen and Himrod all responded to 4540 Six Corners Road in the town of Tyrone shortly after 2 a.m.
One person inside the home, a man in his seventies, escaped the fire, but a woman in her mid-sixties did not. The identity of the woman will not be released until her family is fully notified. The man that escaped suffered minor burns and is staying with family.

Winning a national championship is nothing new for the Northwestern Wildcats. In 2012, Northwestern won its seventh national title in eight seasons — a remarkable feat for coach Kelly Amonte Hiller and her squad.
But every season has its ups and downs, and its crucial moments.
Check out the five that stood out to make up the Warrior TII Top Five Moments of 2012.
The Warrior TII was the helmet of champions, with the DI, DII, DIII and MCLA champions all wearing the helmet. The goalies for women's champion Northwestern wore Warrior helmets, too. You can find out more about the TII at Warrior's website.
Feb 29: Northwestern 11, Syracuse 9
After two games this season in which it never trailed on the scoreboard, Northwestern responded to a four-goal deficit by staging a 7-0 run and seizing a late 9-6 lead on Syracuse. The Orange rallied to send the game to overtime, in which Erin Fitzgerald and Shannon Smith scored to secure the win. The 'Cats showed tenacity to come from behind to force OT.
(Photo: Stan Huber)
April 21: Florida 8, Northwestern 7
Close to 2,000 fans witnessed the highly-anticipated matchup. Northwestern again came back, but failed to hold on while leading 7-6.
May 5: Floriday 14, Northwestern 7
The ALC championship loss was a turning point for them. They got destroyed on the draw and recommitted to it. Taylor Thornton, Alyssa Leonard and Gabriella Flibotte spent hours outside of practice working on draws (they lost the draw battle 18-5 in the ALC game).
May 25: Northwestern 9, Maryland 7
The Terps, who they've seen in the last two national championships took an early lead. Once again Northwestern was resilient and fought back to get the win. The Wildcats went on a 5-1 scoring run to close the game and a 7-1 draw control advantage after halftime.
(Photo: Alex Cena)
May 27: Northwestern 8, Syracuse 6
Is there any doubt Northwestern is one of the best dynasties in college sports? The patient Wildcats held off a pesky Syracuse squad for their seventh national title in eight years. The Wildcats received a go-ahead goal from Tewaaraton Award finalist Taylor Thornton to break a 6-6 tie with 9:55 remaining and protected its lead down the stretch, wrapping up a 21-2 championship season.

The University of North Carolina men's tennis team is ranked 18th nationally in the first season rankings issued last Thursday by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association. The Tar Heels are the third highest ranking Atlantic Coast Conference Team and will face a host of pre-season nationally ranked teams during the coming campaign.
Coach Sam Paul's team will rely on youth in the coming season as only three starters — senior William Parker and sophomores Esben Hess-Olesen and Oystein Steiro — return from 2011-12.
Carolina opens its season on January 19 with a doubleheader against Wofford and Gardner-Webb.
Hess-Olesen, a sophomore from Viby, Denmark, is ranked 18th in the preseason singles rankings after winning the singles title last fall at the ITA Carolinas Regional. Incoming freshman Brett Clark is ranked 57th and junior Nelson Vick, a transfer from Ohio State, is ranked 58th in the preseason ITA singles rankings. Parker is ranked 102nd as Carolina barely missed placing four players in the preseason Top 100. Hess-Olesen and Vick are ranked 44th in doubles heading into the season.
During the course of the regular season UNC will play a host of matches against nationally-ranked teams including #1 Virginia, #4 Ohio State, #5 Duke, #16 Illinois, #17 Tulsa, #19 Tennessee, #23 Texas, #31 VCU, #32 Florida State, #34 Louisville, #40 NC State, #43 Virginia Tech, #59 Georgia Tech, #60 CLemson, #65 Miami and #66 Wake Forest.

Most rivers in the continental United States flow south to warmer waters. An exception to that rule is the north-flowing Red River of the North. The Red River empties into Canada's Lake Winnipeg and, eventually, into Hudson Bay. In spring 1997, the river's northern destination played a major role in a devastating flood that nearly brought the sister cities of Grand Forks, N.D., and East Grand Forks, Minn., to their knees.
Nearly 100 inches of snow were left behind after seven blizzards blew through in winter 1996–97, resulting in significant flooding during the spring melt. The area's extremely flat topography and ice jams created by the river's northerly flow into frozen waters exacerbated the problem. Water reached the 28-foot flood level on April 4. The river continued to rise for 17 more days, ultimately cresting at 54 feet— 26 feet above flood stage and 2 feet above the tallest emergency flood-protection levee.
Floodwaters engulfed the cities as levee after levee was overtopped. A massive evacuation was necessary with 90% of East Grand Forks' 8700 residents and 75% of Grand Forks' 52,000 residents forced from their homes. An electrical problem sparked a fire that damaged or destroyed 11 buildings in Grand Forks' historic downtown. When the waters receded, the magnitude of the destruction was overwhelming and the devastation received national attention. More than 20,000 volunteers poured in to assist with cleanup. Donations were contributed from across the country.
Following the flood, both cities began working aggressively with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, to develop a permanent, comprehensive flood damage reduction plan to assure that 1997's flood devastation never has a sequel. The Corps completed a general reevaluation report and environmental impact statement. Several alternatives were evaluated, including construction of a large channel to divert floodwaters around the cities. In the end, the cities decided to keep the river on its present course, vacate the river's floodplain and convert it to recreational use, and protect the cities from future flooding through construction of 30 miles of levees and floodwalls.
"It was very hard for people to make life-altering decisions right after the flood," said Bonnie Greenleaf, project manager with the Corps, St. Paul District. "It was necessary to decide where to draw the line to place the levees. We were proposing to move the levees further back from the river. Whole neighborhoods wouldn't be allowed to rebuild. It was extremely traumatic for people. When they had already lost so much they didn't want to lose any more," she said.
Flood Protection Plan
The Corps developed a comprehensive flood protection plan consisting of levees and floodwalls that create protective rings around both cities. The plan included stabilizing an existing dam, removing a railroad bridge, closing numerous roads, extending and expanding an existing diversion channel, and constructing a new diversion channel. The design level of protection was equivalent to the peak discharge experienced during the 1997 flood.
"Our saving grace was that the federal government came in with a large grant for the city … these moneys were used to help with flood recovery and to purchase numerous homes along the route of the new levee, as well as homes on the wet side of the levee," said Mark Walker, Grand Forks' assistant city engineer. "We had a pretty strong congressional delegation. That was helpful in securing the funding and the commitment for building the permanent flood protection system."
"Once emergency appropriations were received, things moved quickly," said Green-leaf, who has been with the Corps for 17 years. "We developed an aggressive schedule that calls for completion of the project in 2006." The Corps contracted with several engineering firms, including Stanley Consultants, Minneapolis, to provide detailed engineering services to help complete the project.
"Stanley Consultants, the Corps, and the city have worked well together," said Walker. "It's interesting having the three entities work together on a project and bring three different perspectives on how a project should be developed. It's been very successful in terms of getting the project off the ground quickly and constructed at a fast pace."
The work of building the floodwalls and levees that protect Grand Forks from the Red River was divided into four phases, each consisting of numerous reaches. Design and construction of the floodwalls and levees proceeded according to the ability to acquire the property and protect areas most vulnerable to flooding. Grand Forks now has 51,620 feet of levee, 8890 feet of floodwall, and 12 pumping stations, with a total pumping capacity of 361,000 gallons per minute. Eleven closure structures allow pedestrians, vehicles, and trains to pass through the flood barrier when there is no flood.
The design foundation provided by the Corps was solid, but several cost-saving ideas were incorporated during the final design process. Changes proposed by Stanley Consultants and accepted by the Corps and the city of Grand Forks included eliminating a pump station while still providing better overall flood fighting operation, bringing a section of the levee into play in an existing municipal golf course, and using a levee constructed of traditional earthen sections and mechanically stabilized earth walls instead of concrete flood walls.
The project also led to a solution for another problem. Before the flood protection project, Grand Forks had no available space to build stormwater treatment basins to meet new U.S. Environmental Protection Agency NPDES Phase II stormwater regulations. But now, ample room was available in the new greenway, and excavation of the storage basins provided earth fill needed for levee construction. These innovative features will treat the majority of Grand Forks' stormwater. Prior to this time, the runoff went directly to the Red River from nearly all parts of town.
Construction of the $410 million project began during summer 2000 and is currently 75% complete. The federal and local governments share the project design, real estate acquisition, and construction costs. Operation and maintenance costs will be the responsibility of the two cities.

text: You are correct. But the fans here see it as him being thrown in. They refuse to see his value. Absolutely, its Middleton as much as anything that Milwaukee wanted in the deal. Anyway, I wanted to give a brief recap of the loss to Brooklyn by the Bucks. Basically, it was a close game, pretty much tied well into the 3rd quarter. Milwaukee took Middleton as well as Knight out of game. Milwaukee fell back to about 10 down and quickly brought Middleton and Knight back in. Knight though quickly had to sit because of a cut for a while. Milwaukee never managed to claw back, and lost by 8. Milwaukee is just not that good of a team without Middleton. They are not that great with him either, but they did just beat Washington on the strength of 29 points from Middleton. In the Brooklyn game, of note, while Middleton did miss some runners, he only missed one perimeter shot. While on the subject, I know a lot of people want to think Stuckey failed us as a point guard. But really, I don't think so. He continually won his individual matchup at point, even against the strongest points in the league. Even this season, when played at point, he has an overwhelming advantage over the opposing point while he is in the game. We would be, in my opinion, if we had never made the trade, and still had Middleton - and Knight, as the backup point to Stuckey. Middleton could be backing up both Smith and Pope right now. Our rotation should be: Stuckey, Pope, Smith, Monroe, Drummond. 2nd unit: Knight, Middleton, Mitchell, Harrellson (with any of Drummond, Smith, or Monroe taking turns being part of the 2nd unit.)

On January 16, 1942, Chief Petty Officer Harold Dixon and his crew took off in a Douglas Devastator bomber for an anti-submarine mission over the Pacific Ocean, canvassing an area patrolled by the Japanese navy. Once the crew left their aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise, they kept radio silence to protect the carrier's location from the enemy. By the time they realized they had drifted off course, it was too late to locate the Enterprise. With their airplane nearly out of fuel, they had to ditch in the ocean, beginning a month-long ordeal recounted in this excerpt from Fly Navy: Discovering the Extraordinary People and the Enduring Spirit of Naval Aviation, by Alvin Townley, Thomas Dunne Books, 2011.

Dixon stood up on his seat and checked his crew, 22-year-old radioman Gene Aldrich, and 24-year-old bombardier Tony Pastula: no injuries. The pilot stepped onto the left wing and Tony Pastula passed him the inflatable life raft. Dixon began to inflate the raft, but the CO2 canister failed.
Then suddenly, the wing began sinking rapidly and within seconds, he was immersed in the ocean, hanging by his lifejacket with saltwater assaulting his mouth and nostrils. He gasped at the chill of the ocean and desperately held onto the raft. The plane sunk with astounding speed, dragging all the crew's carefully-assembled survival gear toward the deep ocean floor, more than three miles below the waves.
"The sinking of the plane was like a magician's trick," Dixon later recalled. "It was there, and then it was gone, and there was nothing left in our big, wet, darkening world but the three of us and a piece of rubber that was not yet a raft."
Finally, Dixon triggered the stubborn CO2 canister and the rubber quickly became a raft, although it floated upside down. Twenty minutes of trying to right the cumbersome raft while being dashed about by the sea found the three airmen still in the water and now in the pitch dark. Finally, Tony suggested they make a rope from their shirts and tie one end to the thin cord that ran along the gunwales of the raft. Once they had assembled and anchored their improvised rope, they threw it across the raft's beam. Struggling against the sea, they groped their way to the other side of the raft, found their rope of shirts, and pulled. By bracing the near side of the raft, they created enough leverage to flip up the far side. With a loud slap, the rubber raft landed on the water, ready for its crew. The three men struggled over the sides and flopped onto the floor, exhausted. They were safe for the moment, ready to sleep and worry about their predicament when the sun rose the next day.
Their first harsh lesson came quickly: the raft and sea would offer them little rest. "We soon learned that we could not sleep," explained Dixon. "The raft was only four feet long by eight feet wide…. The dimensions inside were eighty inches by forty inches. We discovered almost at once that it was impossible for three men to dispose this space so that any one of us would be comfortable."
"Imagine doubling up on a tiny mattress," he expounded, "with the strongest man you know striking the underside as hard as he could with a baseball bat, twice every three seconds, while someone else hurls buckets of cold salt water in your face. That's what it was like."
No one slept that night, or on many nights to follow.
On January 17, 1942, the sun rose quickly, lighting the sky and surrounding sea. From their vantage point low in the waves, the castaways could spy no ships or planes on the horizon. Their spirits lifted around 8:30 a.m. when they saw a plane, so distant they first mistook it for a bird. The plane came toward the raft and the men began frantically waving their arms and shirts; their other signaling devices were beneath 16,500 feet of ocean. The plane closed to within half a mile, but its pilots never saw the three castaways. As the plane disappeared from sight, the castaways sat in silence, painfully alone once again. Dixon broke the quiet, saying, "Boys, there goes our one and only chance."
Their thoughts turned to their options and tools. Upon inventorying the boat and their pockets, they found they had no flashlight, pump, oars, food, or water. They did have a strong raft, a police whistle, pliers, a pocketknife, a can of rubber cement, patching material, a pistol and three clips of ammunition, two life jackets, the damp clothes that presently clung to their bodies, their training, their wits, and their will.

The Greater Houston Business Ethics Roundtable recognized University of St. Thomas Master of Business Administration student Jamie Hesterberg as the 2012 emerging leader. Dr. Michele Simms, director of the UST Center for Business Ethics in the Cameron School of Business, nominated Hesterberg for her scholarship and leadership. The GHBER Bette Stead Scholarship is a $3,000 award applied toward tuition. Hesterberg said she was surprised and honored.
"It is very meaningful to me to be recognized for something that is so important to my core beliefs and values," Hesterberg said. "The best thing about accepting the award was the recognition for moral and ethical behavior, not just at UST, but also from the Greater Houston business community."
As one of the founding members of Beta Epsilon Sigma, a business ethics society for MBA and Master of Science in Accounting students, Hesterberg supports and emphasizes the vision of BES in "building ethics in society, through leadership, service and integrity." She continues to serve on the BES Executive Committee and is one of four CBE Emerging Leaders being coached by Dr. Sue Brown, executive coach of SJ Brown and Associates.
"I don't want to live a double life: a personal life of integrity and then a more cut-throat business life," Hesterberg said. "I want to be the same person all the time and lead by example. In order to develop into a progressive, forward-thinking business leader in the corporate world, I need to continually challenge the status quo."
CBE strives to help business people and students make good choices that benefit themselves, their businesses and their community. Simms said the MBA ethics courses are designed to educate the whole person, and Hesterberg was a strong candidate to illustrate the ideal.
"Jamie has earned the respect of her peers and her faculty for her quiet fortitude and creative ideas as to how we live out our commitment to business in ways that integrate the intellectual with the spiritual," Simms said. "Jamie joins a remarkable group of GHBER recipients and is certain to be a leader in business ethics. I am proud to have her serve as our 2012 GHBER recipient."
GHBER is a voluntary professional organization dedicated to promoting ethical business practices and serving as a forum for the exchange of information and strategies regarding implementation, administration and compliance of ethical business conduct programs.
Each year, GHBER awards a scholarship to students who show promise as future leaders in business ethics at St. Thomas, the University of Houston, Rice University, Houston Baptist University and Texas Southern University.

My goal is improved life versus frequency of service and not sure if that is really what the synthetic buys ya?
Hookedonducks wrote:Synthetics are the only way to go. Like previously mentioned the extended drain intervals pay for the small cost difference several times over. My last truck had 220,000 on it when I sold it and I changed my oil every 12 to 15 thousand miles. I highly recommend Mobil One synthetics. The only downside to these oils and the extended drain intervals is that oil filters wont last as long as the oil. Change the filter around 6 or 7 thousand miles and top off the oil and no worries.
Hookedonducks wrote:ajmorell, do you know anything about amsoils diesel oil? I've been thinking about running it in my current truck but have heard mixed reviews. I know amsoil makes a good product we run it in our race engines that run methanol but run mobil one in the gas engines due to cost. I didnt realize that amsoil made an oil filter.
dieselduck wrote:Mobil 1 is not truly full synthetic oil. They won a lawsuit a long while back and they are allowed to put full synthetic on the bottle even though its not 100% synthetic. If you want the best of the best in synthetic check out Schaeffers. If you know what youre looking for in oil read its specs. Amazing stuff. I drive a 04 Chevy diesel and personally run dino Rotella 15w-40 and have for 100k.
dieselduck wrote:That is not necessarily true. Mobil 1 is good stuff but I don't run it over rotella. Oil choice both type and viscosity are application based. "conventional dino oil" such as mobil delvac or shell rotella have much better detergents for diesel applications. Ask any big trucking company they all run either delvac or rotella. Ive been a diesel mechanic so this is not speculation either. It's rpm dependent and most diesels run under 4k Rpms. Dino oil just doesn't break down at that low of a load range. I do run mobil 1 10w-30 in my transfercase however as it's a chain driven unit and it's outstanding for that.
REM1100 wrote:I switched over to 100% synth oil at the first 1000 miles as I had heard that some engines burn oil in the Isuzus and never wanted to add a liter every 1000 miles. apparently with the high temps ordinary oil gets really burned off.
Also I change every 3000 miles of Canadian climate.
Last Dec we had went ice fishing 105 miles and idled the engine all day and drove back home and found out the oil filler cap was not put on and there was oil all over the engine compartment an the dipstick was barely registering any oil and two years later and 200,000 kms it is still running and only burns a half a litre of oil per 3,000 miles plus it starts better in the winter and I get about 1 1/2 miles per gallon increase My 97 grand am runs on Walmart syn and has 190,000 and only burns a third liter every 5000 miles
Also when I pull out my spark plugs in both vehicles they ar e all whitish tan without any carbon residue

Police steps up patrol for first day of school
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Tenn. - School zone signs will soon be lighting up in Washington County, Tennessee as students prepare to go back to school, and that's bringing out extra police cars.
Thursday Sheriff Ed Graybeal announced his office is pairing with the Washington County Schools to make sure every child is safe.
On the first day of school they will have extra patrol units near schools zones and some following school buses to make sure nobody drives by a stopped bus.
Graybeal tells us they want to make sure the start of the school year is safe for everyone. "We'll be checking seat belts, car seats, and a lot of the other stuff that goes along with it. Our main reason will be to make sure school zones are running good and the parking lots are good," adds Graybeal.
The extra patrols will be paid for by the money they receive from the Governor's Highway Safety Grant.

I have recently tried the GnoMenu application, which provides a new and different menu to the Gnome desktop manager. It has plenty of options available, so you can customize almost about any aspect to your liking. GnoMenu personally reminds me of the KDE menu a little bit.
The favorites tab includes any application of your choice
The menu default configuration includes seven tabs, five on the left and two on the bottom. On the left we see:
Web shortcuts
On the bottom:
Recently opened documents
Recently used applications
The applications menu feels similar to the KDE Menu.
The applications menu reminds me to the KDE one in that subcategories are displayed on the same menu, as opposed to displaying submenus for each of them. If you want a certain application to be added to the Favorites section, simply right click on it and add it.
The computer section.
I personally like the menu looks quite a bit. In all honesty, it feels a bit slow, but nothing too serious.
Shutdown, restart, etc.
If you want to use GnoMenu, all you have to do is follow the installation instructions in HERE. Once installed, simply follow the usual steps to add widgets and choose the GnoMenu one.

Murphy's Laws for Alamo Incorporation
Original post made by Forest Warn, Alamo, on Oct 23, 2007
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

My favorite Murphy's Law is, "If four things can go wrong and you plan for them, a FIFTH will develop!" which we can all say, "I'll drink to that!

The greatest use of Murphy's Law is the lie, "Sign our petition to ask for a feasability study to see if Alamo can be a city." Murphy has already recognized that everything Alamo expected will not happen. What will happen, nobody, but nobody, will want.

Murphy's Law should read, if it is Alamo then it has been screwed up by the local leadership. No matter what can go wrong, it will and the local lunatics will blame someone else for the results. Murphy's law is Alamo California.

Happy New Year!
Murphy will be celebrating the ancient Celtic new year this November 1 with a special new year's eve celebration on October 31. From all that are Forest Warn, let us wish you a bright new beginning for the new year and a joyous holiday season.

Dear Alamo neighbors,
It is serious business, this tomfoolery, that started with a few among the Alamo Towne Fool in the late 1990's. Over the years, in mostly private exchanges, our 60 or so humorists have enjoyed the review of Alamo goings-on in towns named Alamo and Poplar throughout North America.
Recently, a new identity was developed for towne fool public commentary, Forest "Fore" Warn. You will likely note that Forest Warn is pronounced Forsworn and Fore Warn is Forworn. In humor, the 60 or so Alamode'ans throughout North America are providing observations on their communities to various on-line newspapers.
Our humorists have been joined recently by Alamo California neighbors that wish to expand their commentary and place a sharper edge on the humor. Now there are many that are Forest "Fore" Warn among the Alamo Region. I do not plan to be one among this group.
Thank you for the many calls and e-mails that have provided personal viewpoints on Alamo CA regional and community matters. My response has been confidential with referrals to those that might answer your questions and concerns. I have withdrawn for Alamo California community activities, closed the yahoo addresses that provided community courtesies, and consider myself some place else (as humor).
Best wishes,

In honor of a certain holiday celebrating a certain nationality coming up this weekend, it seemed appropriate to go to Fado's, an Irish pub in the Loop to see if there was a sandwich that could capture the spirit of Sunday's festivities—without being corned beef.
The Pulled Lamb and French Dip sandwich was enough to catch one's attention on the menu, and the belle of the ball, the lamb, did not disappoint. Slow-cooked chunks of lightly seasoned goodness remind of mom's roast beef—uncomplicated, subtle, and full of meaty flavor. The moist lamb shines through in every bite, though that's not hard when the supporting ingredients were a little lackluster. The extra-melty white cheddar gave an interesting creamy texture and flavor without being too greasy, but left a strange mouthfeel if you had too much. The tasted hoagie was fine in texture, holding in all the juice from the lamb, but added little to tickle the tastebuds. And the au jus was largely a repeat of the flavor of the big star, which was good but unnecessary with an already one (delicious) note dish. The $13.95 price tag was a little steep for the final product, but if you like lamb it's a pretty great way to get it on, say, an under-the-weather Monday lunch break.

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! Contact us, or contact another local humane society, animal shelter or SPCA.
The BC SPCA is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for domestic, farm and wild animals in British Columbia. Through its locations and operations across the province the BC SPCA provides emergency medical care and sheltering for more than 37,000 animals each year. The society also conducts more than 4,600 cruelty investigations and provides a wide range of advocacy and education programs for domestic, farm and wild animals through its Provincial Office.
Our mission, vision and charter is at the heart of all we do to rescue, protect and care for animals. It is also the driving force behind our animal welfare and education programs.
Our Charter:
The BC SPCA Charter is the foundation that guides the work we do:
The world is inhabited by many species sharing a common ecosystem of air, earth, and water. We recognize and value our interconnectedness with all animals.
The BC Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is dedicated to protecting and enhancing the quality of life for the animals of the world we share.
We pledge our energies to inspire and mobilize society to create a world in which all animals, who depend on humans for their well-being, experience, as a minimum, five essential freedoms:
1. Freedom from hunger and thirst
2. Freedom from pain, injury, and disease
3. Freedom from distress
4. Freedom from discomfort
5. Freedom to express behaviours that promote well-being.
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.

This pendant was really quite lovely and delicate. The perfect setting for the pear shaped stone. Both the gold and aquamarine stone sparkled and shined.

256.12 sec. 1 - New Business Counseling Practicum (Fall 2014)
Instructor: William A. Kell (view instructor's teaching evaluations | profile)
View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 1-4
Meeting Time: W 2:10-3:25
Meeting Location: 141
Course Start: August 27, 2014
In the Practicum, students will learn and apply a broad range of knowledge in law and business related to the development of new businesses, through classroom learning, field trips, participating in simulations, and through providing hands-on assistance with real business start-ups.
To enroll, students must elect the seminar (Law 256.15 - 2 credits), and then new law students must enroll for 4 credits of Law 256.12, which represents the clinical work component. Professor Kell will provide the Course Control Number (CCN) to students for Law 256.12. Part of the clinical work component will be spent researching and working with the client, while 1 hour each week will be devoted to case conferences, supervision and additional training time. That 1 hour weekly time slot is the 1 hour of class time listed for Law 256.12, which is in addition to the class time slot scheduled for the seminar (see Law 256.15).
Overall, class time will be primarily devoted to preparing students for consulting with real entrepreneur clients during the term, specifically entrepreneurs who are beginning new business ventures (for-profit or non-profit). Students will work in interdisciplinary teams and under Instructor supervision, to research and formulate options that will address their entrepreneur clients' needs.
The course will ready students for transactional lawyering and consulting with business clients, but in the larger sense, will demonstrate in depth what is needed to start a successful business. The course will also examine ethical issues and other critical practice matters for transactional lawyers and other professionals. Critical questions include:
* What do entrepreneurs need to know re: law and management in order to survive and thrive?
* How can consultants assist entrepreneurs effectively, both in dealing with acute legal problems, and in planning preventively for the future?
* How can lawyers and other professionals (e.g., MBAs) work effectively together to assist
new businesses, given the often interconnected nature of legal and business problems?
Traditional topic areas be examined and applied particularly in the context of assisting new businesses. Areas of law will include: business regulation, risk management, contracts, intellectual property, and taxation. Areas of business management will include financing, marketing, business planning, and evaluating financials. Finally, mixed areas of law and business management will be examined, including entity formation, capital formation, and tax planning.

As for your choice of god... I'm sure u were being overenthusastic, but I'd still take heed to what Jango says, to some of us it's very a serious thing
Whatever your religious beliefs are, I'm ok with it.
Being me, I tend to be Overzealous with things of the such.
I'm also an Atheist too(just need to get it out there) But I love the bible
@ordeyn: I have a concept photo of the armor i just need to finalize and Transfer it too something that doesn't have the work that i did during my in school "suspension" on it

Kal, the Scarf is made by ewokian Hands and the kama will be ripped wookie Pelt.
One pistol is mando ripper (from story) and the other is MAndo Disintegrater(will be mentioned and found during one chapter of the find galaak Portion of my novel)

"I was able to import pictures from my ipad onto the card and they looked fabulous and flawless. The paper used is so professional people couldn't believe I did this myself. Great product."
"The paper quality is what I expected for what I chose - I did not upgrade to the heavyweight paper but perhaps should have. Everyone has been very impressed with the look of the announcements and design of the front/back and coordinated envelopes. I found it easy to customize and order and received everything promptly and as expected. Highly recommend tinyprints!"
"Liked the number of photo options, as well as, being able to use space for a personal message and also an inspirational quote. Upgraded to the black envelopes to better coordinate the set. Felt that the basic paper option still provided a "keepsake" quality. Most importantly, my graduating daughter loved them. Will definitely use TinyPrints services again."
"The announcement cards was a great success. It showed how professional the company can be. Thank you very much for making my life a lot easier."
"I absolutely LOVED this card. It was my first time ordering from Tiny Prints - the order was delivered on time as stated and the results were beautiful! I used this as my son's graduation announcement. The only issue I had, and it was a very small issue, was the choice of text size on the initial at the top. I wanted to use something different at the top, but could not because it locks withing a certain font size range. The cards look AWESOME with the pearl paper - it is well worth the extra cost. I can't say enough about how pleased I was!"
