GETTYSBURG, Pa. – Powered by an explosive offense, the 15th-ranked Gettysburg College men's lacrosse team defeated Goucher College 17-8 in its home opener Wednesday afternoon at a sunny, windy Shirk Field at Musselman Stadium.
A trio of Bullets turned in outstanding performances in the non-conference affair, including sophomore Bijan Firouzan (Pittsburgh, Pa./Mt. Lebanon), who scored a career-high six goals on six shots. Classmate Robby Maddux (Baltimore, Md./St. Paul's) added five goals and one assist while junior Martin Manilla (Fairport, N.Y./Fairport) distributed seven assists – just one shy of the school record that was set by Jeff Barrette in 1991 and equaled by Tim DeMore in 1994.
Senior J.T. McCook (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep) made eight saves in 57:37 of work for Gettysburg (2-0), which raced out to a 12-3 halftime advantage, while freshman Jameson Smith (Glen Ridge, N.J./Glen Ridge) added two goals and two assists. Senior Evan Thomas (Ithaca, N.Y./Ithaca) contributed two goals and one assist while senior Nick Avedisian (Laytonsville, Md./Bullis School) finished 14-for-24 on face-offs. Sophomore Jack Harvazinski (Setauket, N.Y./Ward Melville) led all players with seven ground balls.
Gettysburg posted its highest scoring output since a 19-3 win over Swarthmore College on April 17, 2010.
Dylan Zook scored two goals for Goucher (1-2), the defending Landmark Conference champions, while Connor Mishaw stopped 10 shots.
Goucher scored the game's opening goal 1:35 into the contest before the Bullets answered with five straight tallies over a four-minute stretch. Maddux kicked off the scoring spree before Manilla assisted on four consecutive goals scored by four different players.
Max Roach stopped the bleeding for the Gophers when he scored with 5:07 on the clock to make it 5-2, but Gettysburg came right back with four unanswered spanning the first and second quarters. Maddux struck twice during the run as Gettysburg's lead swelled to 9-2.
After Zook scored with 7:15 left in the half, the Bullets closed the period on a 3-0 spurt. Firouzan scored twice before Smith found paydirt with 1:33 showing to give the hosts their nine-goal lead at the break.
Firouzan scored four of his goals in the first half while Manilla dished out six of his assists in the opening 30 minutes.
Gettysburg outscored Goucher 5-3 over the opening 19:40 of the second half, putting the game out of reach at 17-6 with 10:20 to go in the contest. Firouzan added two more goals as he became just the second player in the last 10 years to score six times in a game, joining Maddux, who accomplished the feat last season.
Manilla assisted on the Bullets opening goal of the half, and his seven helpers were the most by a Gettysburg player since David Curry also had seven in a 19-10 win over Franklin & Marshall College on April 30, 1994.
Junior long-stick midfielder Alec Mitchell (Parkton, Md./St. Paul's School) capped the scoring for the Bullets when he punched in a loose ball for his first collegiate goal.
Gettysburg returns to action on Saturday when it visits 10th-ranked and defending national champion Salisbury University in another non-conference game starting at 1 p.m.

You have to keep that kind of stuff, and that camaro sounds like a treasure. Kids sitting on the fenders handing you tools, like your father when you were young. You cant replace the memories with money. You do what you can and have fun.
15 seconds is fast for me too.
300 HP/ 383...naw!
Spinn, nice car. I don,t blame you for not wanting to get rid of it. It would be an insult if someone made you an offer! Yeah, lookin at them old Plymouths get my heart to pumpin. Back in the day I started with a 1968 Super Bee 383/auto, 323 posi gears. Turned 15's in the 1/4 mile but that was fast to me. Next two were Barracudas, a 1967 Formula S 383 4-speed. I wrecked it and was totaled. I was walkin by the Chrysler dealer a few months after and saw a 1968 convertible Barracuda. I popped the hood and low and behold it was the motor out of my 67. I bought the car for $700. Swap the motor to a 68 Dodge Coronet and drove it for 3 years before I spun a bearing coming home from work. In 1977 I bought a 1967 GTX. By that time a neighborhood friend had opened a machine shop. He gave me all the info on what block to get. I took him the 69 block, heads, and crank. He built me a .060 383 motor. I bought a Fairbanks 727 and a 3600 stall, a B&M flexplate. I installed a 4.30 posi, i think I used all Chrysler parts. That was my last Chrysler product. At age 27 I got married and had kids, you know the sad story after that. Fast forward to 1997 I found a 1967 RS Camaro that I still have today. A 496, Th400, and 4.11 gear. Like you it will be passed on when I'm gone.
Rob it, of what. Not possible its just poeple talking , taking it in all directions with a nice even flow. Youre staying right with the current. Dont get sucked under when youre to the drain.
Cuda's were fine. My 71 440 convert has been in the family forever. Money does not have enough value to buy it. The 83/4 rear can swap gears in the same time it takes to change the oil. ceramic material lasts a lttle longer than organic clutch wise. If you know how to drive it can last a while. My girlfriend fights the garage door return spring to press the clutch, and hates it. To used to her civics hydraulic.
300 HP/ 383...naw!
Not to rob this post but talking about the Cuda reminded me back of in the 70's. I had a 67 Barracuda 2dr coupe. It was a Formula S 383 4 speed with 3.90 gears. Now that was a fun car to drive. The only thing that was frustrating I couldn't keep a clutch disc in it. Even a Hayes racing clutch I shifted about 5Gs and it would blow.
|You had a heavier car with less power.My car breaks the tires loose from the carb being yanked open.Ill give you all the details on the engine down to the plug wires if you want. My car is not a fast car compared to a lot around here. There are also some very slow cars here that should run better.
V, think about the physics of motion. You are moving forward at 2000rpm locked up drive train, and have traction. You have no from a stop launch impact at the tires. Just the pump shot.
You are proud of what you built and that is awesome.
When my cuda had the 4.10 gears in it 1st gear clutch out at 2000rpm, it would not spin them with cheap 265/60 15 street tires. That roller 440 makes 550hp/550 TQ. Dyno sheet in photos, car in journal.
|spin,look at the picture of the car,lol.What I said is accurate.My engine makes power.you are welcome to go for a ride in it any time.
|Nah, not the way it works. clutch out at 2000 rpms and you floor it with 3.5 gears and good tire, it does not have the intake velocity to spin them. The engine has to increase piston speed rapidly. Only way is to slip the clutch at that rpm. Who you kidding.
|As far as roller cams not being magic,thats true,lol. I have 3.5 gears a 5 spd and I can plod along in 5th at 2,000 rpm doing 60 mph with no problems.My power starts under 2,000. If Im in 1st gear and use more than 1/2 throttle at or before 2,000 rpm the tires break loose.If Im in second gear and plant the throttle anywhere near 3,000 rpm the tires break loose. I know my engine will rev to 6500 rpm but I put a 6k chip in the ignition to keep the car controlled easier.Its a small block and n.a.
|D, why not get 2 things you want? Send the old girl in and get the filling removed,iron out the wrinkles,lift the suspension and get a new paint job.Wait a week for it all to cure.The cost is maybe 10k ish. The return is obvious,you get a new toy to play with that looks updated and great.She will be so happy with the mirror and attention you give her,Im sure she would reciprocate and let you spend a bit on the car. You win twice.
A roller cam is not magic. The small amount of return you get under the curve is not worth the price to convert. Half a inch lift ,is a half inch of lift. The spring pressures are there. You can reduce them with multiple valves like modern 4 valve engines.
The edelbrock crate 420hp RPM or the Mopar crate 380 HP 360 both have roller cams. Both are well designed and not for heavy vehicles. Neither make a great road engine. To go bigger heades and cam only makes driveability worse.
A roller cam is not magically have 5000rpm powerband. No carbureted build is. A built hot small block usually doesnt get organized till 3-4 k rpm.
It is getting easy to spot the experienced.
Important* Nothing wrong with good love at 5'3" 160 36 x 26x 46 !
|Reading between the lines that U gents wrote I'm envisioning some monster yet very streetable high horse power machines out there...I'm envious! As for the misses...I'm also seeing that I'm not the only one who's crying for the old days. Yes, the misses has changed with gravity taking it's tole. However, if I squint my eyes and catch her in just the correct lightning I can still catch a glimpse of a gorgeous lady. I was certainly lucky then and I'm lucky now....I just wish she'd let loose of some extra cash so I could make some real power with my ride!!
|Choctaw Bob
That used to be true in the old days when to make horse power you had to wind them up. Since an engine is an air pump the way to make power is to pump more air. With the advent of modern head air flow technology and hydraulic roller cams everything changed. A roller cam opens the valves quicker and obtains higher lifts than is possible with a flat tappet cam. Thus, the air pump achieves the same air flow at a much lower RPM than before. The famous Chevrolet 350 HP 350 cam had 290 degrees duration and .460 lift. This is a very streetable cam for a factory muscle car and needed to be wound over 6500 RPM. to make full power. My 350 Howard hydraulic roller has 288 degrees and 530 lift and makes over 500 HP @ 5500.
The drag strips are fun, but a race car and road car are different. A built machine screaming at 7000rpm is not going be fine in traffic. In town a 5500rpm machine will be more fun. Case being when are you going to wind up 7k rpm going to work to get that peaky power. It is time and place. Work or play.
Yeah the built woman look good in the beginning, then gravity pulls it down. Then there is the charge bill they have no idea how to budget. What is a outfit good for if you can only wear it once.
|Choctaw Bob
I can relate, I'm 66 years old and have been married to this one for 15 years. She used to complain when I would smoke some kid on the street in my T Bucket or one of the Mustangs. I have some hope because the other day we were watching Stallone in the Avengers drive that 56 Ford truck in the chase scene she said "Listen to that thing wind up". You can have hope in any woman who recognises a great sounding engine like that.
The dyno guy can tell you but I usually add 50 to 75 HP to whatever they say to cover parasitic losses. Horsepower ratings are more for bench racing bragging rights, anyway most people lie about them. I used to carry the dyno print out with a 9.26 1/4 mile timing slip to show anyone that needed convincing. We have an outlaw 1/8 mile strip 15 miles away where this kind of stuff gets settled.
It just occurred to me that I drive through Richmond every time I take my wife to see her family in Flemingsburg.

I didnt put this in the cargo hold as im not actually selling it at this time. I am curious to know if someone would actually seriously be interested in it though. Its alot of money and i know alot of people dont just have it layin around. Between my weight not being ideal (i cant fit into the suit right now) and the desire to just move on and do some other costumes, and take care of some bills at the same time, this thought is crossing my mind. Most of you have seen it, and if your interested i would give you a full rundown of everything on the suit. Short version is.....
It is all top notch parts by Fettpride, Man of War, BooBoofett, Mojo-Fett, Dark-side, Arklady, Batninja etc...all "metal" parts have been upgraded to aluminum. Gaunt rocket is aluminum and copper. I have a few authentic vintage found parts on the suit as well, including the sidearm holster, shin tools, MQ-1 parts, micro files etc. Rangefinder has remote control. Mojo's aluminum ears will be custom installed on my Boba Maker helmet and will include the micro switch. Gauntlets have the correct alco pushbutton switches, NOT toggles.
Id want $7500 FIRM, and NO parting out. All or nothing kinda deal. Anyway I f you would be SERIOUSLY interested and have the cash, let me know and we can talk details and i can get you more pics. Shipping will be included for US sales, and extra for overseas, if i decide to sell.
If i do decide to sell, dont worry... i wont disappear, ill still be here to help out and offer whatever parts im currently offering and probably add more in the future. (still workin on gauntlets and a jetpack )

How to Play:
Players wager $2 that the six numbers they select will match the five numbers selected at random from fifty-nine available numbers and one from a possible thirty-five Powerball® numbers. A multi-million dollar jackpot is awarded to those who match the six numbers.
Subsidiary prizes are awarded for various matches other than the jackpot combination.
Select five (5) numbers, ranging from 1 to 59 as shown in the upper play area of the play slip, and one (1) Powerball® number, ranging from 1 to 35, in the lower play area. Do not erase on play slip. Use separate boards for each set (5/59; 1/35) chosen. Each play costs $2.00 (without PowerPlay option). Each play slip has five (5) boards.
The same numbers for more than one drawing may be played by marking the appropriate "MULTIDRAW" box for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 or 26 consecutive drawings.
By marking the "QP" box, rather than selecting the six numbers, the computer will draw a "Quick Pick" series of numbers for your wager. Before submitting your play slip, make sure the numbers you have chosen are the ones you want.
Powerball® tickets cannot be cancelled after they are processed by the Retailer.
PowerBall® has become one of the most popular Lottery games due to its extremely high jackpot payouts. As of February 2006, the highest jackpot amount was $365 million, won on February 18, 2006.
With a starting jackpot of $15 million, if no winner is drawn, the jackpot continues to increase by no less than $5 million for each drawing until someone wins.
Drawings are aired locally on WPRI-TV 12 at 10:59 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays. Powerball® tickets may be purchased at Retailers until 9:50p.m. on drawing nights.

Heavy is the neck of he who wears the practice whistle.
Didn't it used to be coaches had the power? And yet, it seems there's another one losing his or her job everywhere you look.
Mike Brown is just the latest victim, and maybe the best poster boy. He had just come out of a job where he had been fired to appease one superstar was taking a job in Los Angeles coaching Kobe Bryant really the best move for him?
In baseball, there's been a rash of guys getting booted off the hot seat into the fire. Boston let Terry Francona, a two-time series winner and legendary curse-breaker, walk. A season later, they asked Bobby Valentine not to let the door hit him on the way out.
The Florida Marlins hired Ozzie Guillen, then when Ozzie Guillen started being himself, he was gone.
The NFL is a revolving door of coaches. Every franchise is quick to hire the hot assistant, then let him go once it's clear the spark is gone. Todd Haley, Josh McDaniels, Mike Singletary, Hue Jackson the NFL coaching graveyard is littered with those names that once stoked everyone's interests, that owners just had to get.
Debate the merits of these coaching changes if you want, but time after time, it seems that teams got what they wanted, only to learn that that wasn't what they wanted.
And here's the problem: It's a trickle-down trend.
Coaches in pro leagues, and even coaches in major college sports, have the perks of big contracts. After some of the guys previously mentioned moved on, they still had money to keep them warm, for the most part.
But what about high school coaches? What about youth coaches?
Think about the folks who volunteer their time or get paid a meager sum that doesn't truly reflect the hours they work.
Many of them do it out of a desire to shape the character of young people. There aren't many higher purposes in this world. Some coach for the wrong reasons, sure, but the vast majority coach out of selflessness, out of a desire to make a difference.
But now, maybe more than ever, coaching takes its toll. Count the hours of watching film, running practice, cleaning up facilities and the field and whatever it takes to make sports happen for kids. And then they deal with unhappy players and unhappy parents, maybe because one kid doesn't play enough or because the team doesn't win enough.
Every year, it seems like the long-tenured coaches are slowly stepping away, and younger coaches take a step away to spend more time at home. The truth is it's harder and harder to deal with the melodrama that accompanies coaching, moreso than the coaching itself.
The next time you feel an urge to give a coach a piece of your mind, ask yourself what you hope your child is getting out of an athletic experience. Is it character? Is it work ethic? Is it an ability to deal with adversity? A willingness to work with a team?
This is what many coaches preach, what many coaches try to get players to learn. More than winning, more than playing time, that's what the goal of youth sports pretty much is.
If that's not what you want, then why play at all?

I'm not sure if you mean heroic or not. The way we did it though, is we only broke chains if two dps were linked. If it was two healers or healer and dps we kept the chains unbroken throughout the whole fight.
We used the 1 unchained dps and a tank specced melee dps (who cannot get chained) to reenergise the floor.

Feb. 11, 2005
GAINESVILLE, Fla.- The Southeastern Conference Swimming and Diving Championships got underway Friday with the three-meter diving competition. Lauren LeRoy and Brittany Fulmer finished in 19th and 21st place, respectively.
"The results today were not what I was expecting," Diving Coach Dave Parrington said. "I knew it was going to be tough for them to make the finals but I expected them to notch some team points. Brittany had some good board work and looked good in the air. We just need to find a way to get her down a little bit better in the water.
"Lauren started out extremely shaky and put herself into too big of a hole to get out of, but I am encouraged the way she bounced back and that should bode well for tomorrow. Both girls gave their best effort today and maybe trying too hard hurt them, but we'll come back tomorrow and give it our best shot again."
The freshman tallied 403.30 points on her 11 dives, narrowly missing out on scoring for the Big Orange, as she was just a little more than 13 points out of 16th place. Fulmer finished with a final mark of 371.15 which is her season-best score in the event and just misses her career high of 372.65.
Parrington's charges will be back in action on Saturday for the one-meter competition. Prelims will begin at 4 p.m. with the finals set for 6 p.m. The final day of competition on Sunday will allow the divers to showcase their abilities from the platform. Prelims start at 10:30 a.m. while the finals start at 3 p.m. Following the conclusion of the diving championships, there will be a two-day break before the swimming portion of the league meet begins on Wednesday.

For more than a decade, community leaders have studied how to solve the traffic congestion that has stifled growth west of Dulles Airport in northern Virginia. The culmination of all the studies and reports is the Dulles Corridor Metrorail project.
Construction began in March 2009, with help from a $900 million federal grant. The project just outside the nation's capital then received $77.2 million in stimulus funds to speed up the timeline with a targeted completion in 2013. And sped it has. When completed, the $5.25 billion project will extend the existing Metrorail system by 23 miles.
In October, the high-profile project reached a milestone as excavation began on a 2400-foot tunnel. This is the most complex engineering and construction challenge of the project. The structure is a soft-ground tunnel. Its position in the soft soil is consolidated with concrete reinforcement.
In late fall, the work was under the busy Tysons Corner area of the Washington, D.C. suburbs. Crews were excavating on the inbound and outbound subway tunnel. Construction requires attention to detail and must strictly adhere to a schedule. Also, the project's center line lies under several large office buildings, including one vital to our nation's security.
Thus, engineers are concerned about any unexpected subsidence, requiring the contractor to immediately support any span they open. In the beginning, crews excavated about 40 feet each shift. They encase the tunnel's walls with steel beams for structural support. A shotcrete crew then sprays a steel fiber-reinforced concrete mix onto the steel beams and fills in the holes around it to make the tunnel more stable. The cycle is repeated every 40 feet.
As work approaches the station area, the tunnel's width will widen. When the project began, the shotcrete crew required about 60 yards of concrete. This will eventually increase to more than 120 yards per shift.
On such a demanding job, the contractor recognized that a proper shotcrete mix was important for the tunnel's stability. The mix must attain high strength quickly. It also must be workable but stable enough to avoid any undue rebound. Finally, it must be consistent to reduce any unnecessary nozzle adjustments for fast application.
Along with proper workability and strength gain was the problem of production. The project is located in one of the nation's busiest centers of commerce, so available space for plant set-up was limited. And while the planned volumes of concrete mix seemed very reasonable, the production facility had to be sized to handle a rapid increase.
Size constraints
The contractor opted for a portable plant with a small footprint that featured a pan mixer. They opted for a Liebherr plant, which features a layout that can maintain a high output in a small area. Its compact design was a particular advantage since it would not draw too much attention from passers-by.
Concrete plants of this design have been used for several other demanding jobsites around the world including dams, roads and bridges, and other large roller-compacted pours. The unit combines the simplicity of dry-batch plant designs with the superior mixing quality of a pan mixer.
The contractor purchased the pan mixer with an upgraded rotary agitator, which mixes quicker than a standard ring pan mixer. The steel fiber-reinforced shotcrete concrete is a very sticky, fluid mix. To mix it, the contractor needed a high-performing mixer.
The mixer is mounted on a mobile trailer, which the contractor easily moves to and from the jobsite without much foundation work. A weigh batching system similar to dry-mix operations feeds raw materials. A standard recipe requires only 30 seconds of mixing time.
Mixed concrete is discharged onto a high-speed conveyor belt, which feeds a holding hopper, or loads directly into the mixer. The mobile mixer is a self-contained unit and an essential option for mobile concrete plants. "There were no complaints once the structure was erected," explained LeRoy Blue, the plant's operator.
The hydraulic mixer gate opens at a wide angle to minimize discharge times. A special wave pattern of wear tiles minimizes the risk of trapped stones and wash-out of the joint lines between them. This design reduces wear and tear.
Workability is key to the project's success. Engineers chose spread as their criteria rather than slump. After the concrete is mixed, quality control technicians pump out a predetermined sample volume to measure its spread, which must not be wider than 550-650 mm.
When the material flows in this range, it indicates that the mix is properly adjusted with the right amount of moisture to avoid excess rebound. The mix is pumped into the truck when technicians determine the spread is okay.
Initial reports on the mixer's performance have been positive. "The mixer does a very good job blending the mix," says Blue.

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by Iceman, Sep 18, 2010.
"Doubles Champions"?
And there are more mistakes in the article. Scott won the Olympics in 84. LMAO at doubles champions. I didn't realize this was tennis.
I had to click to see who was a doubles champion. I thought it was going to be Dick Button or something.
golden age of american skating without the Kwan?
Interesting to see who's involved:
On an unrelated note, aren't we coming up on the 50th anniversary (next year) of the 1961 plane crash that killed most of the U.S. figure skating team? Wondering if there'll be another huge USFS show to commemorate it, as in 2001. Hopefully it won't be overshadowed by an even sadder event, as in 2001.
While I would love to see Michelle in this show, I still think it's a pretty impressive cast.
I'm sure they'd love to have her, but Yuna Kim appears to be the only promoter that can afford to hire her.
With the exception of Evan, this looks like someone is stirring up the coals to get one more flame out of the BBQ.
But, it was named "the Golden Age", after all.
Somehow, I had gotten the idea that Debi Thomas would be participating, but her name isn't listed ... I'm a little disappointed about that.
According to Debi's FB page, she is training...and did mention that she had committed to the AC show.
Is anyone going to this event? NJ barely gets major skating event, so I'm definitely willing to go, but I have no idea what my schedule will look like in December
We plan to go.
For the record - Atlantic City, NJ got Skate America in 2005, Skating Romance III in July 1997 (with Brian B., Michelle, Brian O., Yuka, Underhill & Martini, Roca & Sur), SOI in 2004, Fashion on Ice in 2007).
I'm very tempted - this show sounds amazing. But it's a 3-hour drive, and there's no telling what the weather will be like, I'd have to stay overnight (which I learned when there for SA is not easy or cheap), and visiting AC once was enough for me.
I hope they don't chack too many skaters from the broadcast.
And COI in 2002, plus SOI in 02.
Went to Divas on Ice in 98...at Showboat and another show in 95 or so with a great cast including..Scott, kristi, Roz, Paul, G and G, Lu Chen and Rakkomo and Kokko..
I should've added "since I started make enough money to afford it on my own"
I hope you have a good time!
They must have corrected some of the typo's. Now there are pairs skaters, but no dancers.
I agree with you DebbieS
Atlantic City is an expensive place. The ticket price hits pretty hard right before Christmas. I'll have to weigh my options...
Hope you can work it out to go to this, DebbieS. I also hope you're right about not "chacking" too many skaters from the broadcast (or anyone for that matter - wishful thinking). My guess is that since the cast is such a large one that each skater would get to do just one individual program instead of two.
Thanks, JerseySlore. We're really looking forward to this show.

DVD REVIEW: Drift
"I want 'em to look in the eye of that fish."
The moment the first spey cast jumps from the screen in high definition, and the fly line falls over the currents of the Deschutes River, the viewer is hooked. The film's vibrancy strikes an immediate chord, and it's easy to settle in thinking Drift will progress as a collection of high quality destination pieces. Not exactly.
The new fly fishing film from Confluence Films takes the viewer to intriguing places, sure, but Drift isn't really about where to fish, it's about people and why they fish. The destinations provide the backdrop.
Drift is comprised of five segments that have the feel of magazine profiles brought to life. In Oregon, it focuses on John and Amy Hazel of the Deschutes Angler as they cast for steelhead. When John Hazel says the above highlighted quote in discussing what he hopes his clients take from every fish, you get that this is more about his passion than it is about the Deschutes or the steelhead. The same holds true as Drift follows Brian O'Keefe down to Turneffe Flats in Belize and then Punta Gorda with the Garbutt Brothers. (Plus, you get a sense of how hard permit fishing is when one of the brothers spots one and says to O'Keefe, "Only 80 feet, moving left.")
The people do not come through as strongly in the third segment about winter tailwaters, probably because it packs in three locales–the Green, The Frying Pan, and the Bighorn–but you still get a good overall feel for the why of winter fishing.
Drift hits it perfectly in its profile of Charlie Smith, the Andros Island bonefish legend who invented the Crazy Charlie. It is the strongest piece in the film; it would have been had it not featured a single bonefish and just shown Smith picking the banjo.
Drift closes in Kashmir, where it follows two anglers (Jon Steihl and Travis Smith) who find that the trout fishing is the same but, "The minute you got out of the water…everywhere there were signs you weren't at home anymore."
Find interesting people in interesting places and tell the stories through strong cinematography and narrative, and you get Drift, a fly fishing film that hits its mark.

Since its inception in 2009, the Division of Youth Services has been focused on establishing the Balanced and Restorative Justice Model as the foundation for providing services to the youth in the Indiana Department of Correction's (IDOC) care. This model is a proven approach to providing effective and successful services to adjudicated juveniles in secure correctional facilities. The foundation of this program is based on a fundamental set of values and principles which are important to understand in order to achieve successful results.
With this philosophy in mind, DYS has implemented Restorative Justice Projects at each facility to assist with youth accountability and community safety, some of which include the Graffiti Removal Program at Camp Summit Boot Camp, the Salvation Army project at Logansport, the Habitat for Humanity project at Pendleton Juvenile, and various community service projects at the Madison and South Bend Juvenile facilities. Another component of Restorative Justice that has been implemented at each facility is Restorative Justice Conferencing with victims, family members and others. DYS received a grant that included a training webinar, development of training curriculum for new hires and annual in-service training, and certification of approximately 30 staff in the area of Restorative Justice Conferencing Programs. Each facility has been working on a plan to begin these Restorative Justice Conferences with appropriate cases.

They say that in order to create lasting memories, you must first pave the way.
Every day at The National WWII Museum, we work hard to tell the stories of our WWII heroes, their struggles, and their sacrifice. It is crucial that the Museum find ways to create a gateway between the actual events that shaped World War II, and preserving those stories in the hearts and minds of future generations.
With a brick at The National WWII Museum, you have a unique opportunity to create a lasting tribute to loved ones who served their country. Three lines of personalized text allow you to list your name, the name of a WWII veteran or civilian, a military unit, squadron, ship, or branch of the armed forces—the choice is yours. These fathers and grandfathers, sons and daughters, friends and neighbors overcame a once-in-a-generation challenge and they deserve a memorial that will last for generations to come.
Note: The brick program at The National WWII Museum celebrates the American spirit as well as the shared appreciation for the Allied effort during World War II. The Museum reserves the right to refuse to engrave any messages or material it deems inappropriate, such as personal contact information, political statements, suggestive wording, and messages that might be considered offensive to those who served and sacrificed during the WWII era.
Road to Victory Brick
For only $250, you can honor your hero with a classic red brick to be installed on our New Orleans campus.
Plus for an additional $75, you can add a special edition 44-page hardcover commemorative book personalized with a digitally reproduced image of your brick.
The elegant, commemorative book immortalizes the story of America's role in World War II through powerful and awe-inspiring images from the Museum's archive. By itself, the commemorative book makes a terrific gift, but personalized with your brick, it becomes a lovely tribute to your loved one and a cherished keepsake you'll pass down for generations.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 391
Your point is well taken. As zinesters, we have a real commitment to the published word. It seems counter intuitive for a zine to provide a digital over a physical address. However -- on the most practical level -- I look back on the many address and PO boxes I have had over the years. I can think of at a dozen as I type this. Also, I have found old zines with dead addresses printed in them. It just seems that an email address is better way to go.
Oh and NO, I don't think its a good idea to publish your actual home address (ever). I did it back in the day, but that was a simpler time. (grin) yeah, I'm old.
I will put a physical address on the zine once I get a P.O. Box. With the internet being what it is, anyone can find your home address in about 90 seconds (if it even takes that long!), but I'd still rather not put it out there.
I just flipped through a phone book, the kind that have been distributed free to every doorstep for ages. The residential section has hundreds of thousands of names, all with their home address in them.
I bought a bunch of old comics last summer. One was a Dennis the Menace, ca 1960. It had a pen pal club for kids and it listed their age and home address to write to. They were in about the 9 to 12 range, give or take.
This last Sunday I was on a run on the Centennial Trail in Spokane. A man with a rock tied to a string was attacking people. Apparently he was psychotic. There are dangers everywhere. What's the use in hiding in our holes?
Soon, I'm going to put out some ads and use my home address. I'm a mail junkie and I want to get some mail on my front porch, in addition to the POB and PMB I have.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not nagging, begging or chiding people to print their home address, but I honestly question how dangerous it is. Erwin S. Strauss, for one, publishes his home address and a number of other zinesters do as well. I've never heard of the ever-feared scenario of the psycho zine reader from hell showing up on a zinester's doorstep. Yes, it could happen. Maybe it has. But put in context, is it any more dangerous than anything else we do in daily life?
Unless it sounds very, very intriguing and like it has a lot of potential, I refuse to "PM" a zinester for their address.
It's not a matter of blindly hating the Net, it's just a matter of wanting to chip away at how it spreads and takes everything over. A couple days ago I called a pizza place to phone in an order. They wouldn't take it. No. I had to order it on-line, by filling out a form. This is a complete first for me. The simple and convenient act of ordering at a restaurant by phone, talking to a real person, became unavailable. It was too "yesterday". I want to try to resist this ridiculous level of techno-trendy narrowness.
Here's a discussion I had on another forum that's somewhat germane to this question:
"I've never heard of the ever-feared scenario of the psycho zine reader from hell showing up on a zinester's doorstep. Yes, it could happen. Maybe it has."
There was an instance of a zinester being assaulted by a prisoner she had been in contact with, who was later released and assaulted her. It has happened. I think it's really dismissive to say, "Hey, why not send predators directly to your door? No big deal, cuz you could die in a car accident anyway." I feel like maybe you have never been a woman? ::she gently puts it::
EDIT: The more I think about this, the fact you are putting "the papernet" above personal safety, the more I am just like, "are you effing kidding me?!" James, I respect you, but this is just one way too far. The typical woman does not want her home address published in a general venue. Please just believe me on this. This is a true statement well prior to any threat of the internet. There used to not be many choices for this kind of safety issue (PO Box or bust!). Now there are other options. Please respect people's choices to use them, for whatever reason. Hey, if you aren't willing to PM someone for their physical address, I respect that, too.

BF's Wild Thang chain saw is nearing the end of it's life. He has to get a bunch of trees removed quickly for his new pond, and bought a cheap chain saw at Home Depot--not that much cheaper than the Wild Thing money wise but much cheaper in quality. I'm seriously worried about his health. The new chain saw is ricketty and takes a long time to stop rotating after he releases it. It may in fact keep turning while in neutral. He's become mum on the details as I have gotten more worried.He is working on a steep hill (for the road to the pond), and definitely not employing safe practices, as trees don't fall easily with grape vines holding them together. He chain sawed his thigh the other day, just a minor cut, but he won't go out and buy a new chain saw because he just spent $140 on one. Told me to get him one for his birthday, which isn't until December.I need to go out and buy him a good chain saw today. Stihl? Other suggestions? I'd pay good money if it was worth it, but maybe the Wild Thing is fine?
He chain saws quite a bit, trying to maintain our view of the valley below. This is on a very steep hill. Picture him standing on a tree that's already been sawed through, jumping up and down trying to get it to fall. Reaching out to chop the grape vines. Chain sawing other trees that also won't fall. Squatting down as they all fall toward him at once. Picture me sitting on the deck with gallons of wine, trying to stay calm as I listen to make sure the chain saw is still going. And enjoying my view. :evil:Don't think the chaps will work as he needs to be nimble. But the boots sound like a good Christmas present.
Chaps would not slow you do a bit. Look into them.
I wear chaps...but only on date night :-D

University of Michigan Press, 2012 Decentralization is meant to deepen democracy, improve public services, and make government more accountable. But evidence from across the globe is contradictory. Is it empty fashion? A giant mistake? Jean-Paul Faguet uses the remarkable case of Bolivia to investigate reform over a generation. Decentralization succeeded in Bolivia because change was driven by smaller, poorer municipalities prioritizing their greatest needs. Faguet combines broad econometric data with deep qualitative evidence to plumb the social underpinnings of governance. To understand decentralization, he argues, we must understand governance from the ground up. Brief Bio Dr. Jean-Paul Faguet is the Reader in the Political Economy of Development at the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Chair of the Decentralization Task Force of the Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia University.

When computers were invented 60 years ago, nobody would have thought that gazillions of 0 and 1s would soon rule the world. After all, that's all there is in any computer memory, be it a laptop, a mobile phone, or a supercomputer like Watson; if you could open memory up and visualize the smallest elementary unit, you would "see" only an infinite sequence of 0s and 1s, something that would look like this:
Interestingly, that has not changed. Computers are still processing 1s and 0s. What has changed is that we live in an age of digital disruption, an age where software applications run and rule our business more and more. To be successful, those applications need to be engaging and entertaining so that consumers enjoy and are delighted by them; they also have to be mobile and accessible anywhere and at anytime, and they have to leverage tons of information, no matter if it comes from a database, a tweet, or Facebook.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
If you replace all the common wear items it will take a lot of the "wander" out of the steering.
You can adjust the steering box to take out a little of the play, but don't get carried away. If you get it too tight it will start to bind. There is an adjusting screw with a lock nut on it, right on top of the steering box.
I would also replace the drag link (or inner tie rod), and possibly both outer tie rods. However, the side with the longer outer tie rod is quite expensive because you can't just replace the ends. There should also be a steering stabilizer (looks like a shock) that runs from left to right and connects to the steering.
|so.. I did buy the blazer and it is a 80 not 83... so yeah whoever said it looked older was right. Fun ride, will be better once I replace the steering box though. No cracks on the frame or crack fixes from what I can tell and everything seems to be running good for now.
|There is very little rust on it.. non that is causing holes a such. I probably will get the under side sprayed with something or at least painted nicely.
sorry no such thing as one of those rust free..
good luck with it..
if it is rust free and your gonna mud in it.. I'd coat the underside good
|It's pretty much rust free and the tranny isn't the original it was the 700r4 that they replaced. The lift is a 6' spring lift. I'm paying 2k + a 03 kawasaki 800 classic bike for it(2500-3k value).
bring a magnet, these rust..
if they had the 6.2ls when they build these..
Blazers make a nice beater. They are too wide, too heavy and too made-for-the-street to keep up with the Jeeps, but are a wonderful way to get into four-wheeling. Oh, and your milage will always suck bad. On the plus side, they are built like a tank...the frame under that thing is 3x the strength of a Wagoneer. If the steering box is ever breaking away as noted above, that's a weak point but an aftermarket bracket fixes it.
The steering drag link is designed in line with the leaf spring...it takes a lot of lift before you get problems there so you're probably OK. If the steering isn't working right, it's likely something else. Blazers are nice handling trucks even with the short wheelbase, but all the front end parts incl. ball joints need to be in good condition. As for the steering box, those will normally go a long long ways and not need rebuilding so don't automatically be changing it. Be sure you know what the problem is before throwing money at it.
Umm, on second thought, that lift does look a little excessive...maybe you're on your own there...
The truck in the photo does not look like an '83...it has the old-style pre-80 front fenders. If it has a TH350, that would be the right trans for the era. Be happy, 'cause the early 700R4s are NOT reliable and you don't want one. Better to be without the overdrive, and have it work, "850hp" claims aside. Also if it's an earlier model it will have something like 3.73 gears with a Dana 44 front end...all good, never mind the mpg. '80s trucks used 10-bolt fronts with 2.73 (!) gears, way too tall for a 4x4 and didn't help the milage anyway. But...don't go jumping off of things with that Dana, it'll bend in the middle, one area it gives to the 10-bolt. You can truss it underneath with an aftermarket kit.
If the 208 transfer case has been replaced with a gear-driven one (205), that's interesting and good, but unless you're some serious stuff, the 208 is enough.
Old Blazers are their whole own thing. If you get it for a good price (don't go paying too much now) it'll be a blast.
Oh yes I forgot the case was upgraded to a gear driven case.
The transmission was built for a hotrod car my boss made a long while back... sold it to his son and he ended up getting the transmission completely rebuilt just before blowing the cars engine up.. it end up in the k5 and he sold that to one of my co workers who blew the engine up. My boss told him that the engine was upgraded because he'd just bought it from a guy who said it was upgraded aswell... turns out it was a lie when they got into the engine after it exploded so my boss bought him a new engine got everything mechined bored and a valve job of some kind... I'll get more details on it soon but the truck did drive decent side from the steering was loose(I'll check if it had the steering correction thing) but I plan to buy new steering box to get it driving somewhat better I guess.
If its a TH350 then its probably not the original transmission. By '83 they had started using the 700R4 overdrive transmission. This means you also need to also look at the transfer case to see what you have.
The most likely model is the New Process NP208, which is a medium duty chain driven case. The best would be the gear driven NP205, but this would be uncommon even as a swap. They were only used on older trucks, and often only with a 4 speed manual. The chain driven full time NP203 is also a possibility, but it was also only stock on older trucks. You may want to look at this link to see the differences Tucson Off-Road Forum • View topic - Transfercase Identification----CHEVY TECH .
Based on the lift I would also try driving it over some rough bumps to see how bad the bump steer is. They should have installed a dropped pitman arm (like this one Offroad Design - Steering Correction) to keep the steering lined up with the axle, but some folks skip that step. It can make it very hard to keep on the road when you hit bumps.
Another place to check is where the steering box is bolted to the frame. With big tires this is a high stress area and the frame may begin to crack. You can weld on or bolt in a reinforcement for the frame (like this one ORD Chevy GM Steering Box Brace and Bolt-in Frame Repair).
These trucks are relatively cheap to keep up because they are built like a tank, and most of the drivetrain parts are identical to what was used on cars. You can almost always find parts in the junkyard, or at a reasonable price from an auto parts store. Their weak point is body rust, especially the lower sections of the cab and fenders. If you run it hard you are also going to break things, but that's also the case with a newer truck.
Some questions about a 83 K5 Blazer.
I've been thinking about buying/trading for a K5 blazer and I don't really know a whole lot about 4x4s. What would be some of the stuff I'd really need to look for on this thing to make sure it's got a good strong frame/suspension and stuff.
The engine was completely rebuilt/mechined less then 400 miles ago, it's just a 350 with a upgrade comp cam and it's been bored out(I don't know much more about it).
The tranny is a 350 turbo that was completely rebuilt aswell as upgraded with stuff I've no clue wth he was saying..lol...He said it'd hold up to around 850hp (The guy who told me this stuff is very trust worthy so it's no fib, he knows alot about the engine/tranny in the k5 but little about the rest).

NO one sane will eat corn/potatos/wheat if meat is available. no one will eat some plain food if he has grease available for seasoning.Excuse me, there are plenty of vegetarians like me who eschew meat on a daily basis. There are also many folks avoiding "grease".More Americans need to eat food that has been raised locally, as it is now 3 energy calories (moistly oil) are used for each 1 calorie of food we eat. That is just wrong! If we eat what's in season and buy locally, we can be healthier and our money can go to sustainable local farms.So, no, I don't agree that we can benefit from a diet of what can survive without bees.
the us provides over half of the world food aid. who do you think will be hurt by a 1/3 rd cut in crops?

The Volvo C30 Electric might not be destined for production, but that isn't stopping the automaker's engineers from putting prototypes of the EV hatch through its paces in the arctic climes of Kiruna, Sweden.
Why venture that far north of the company's headquarters in Gothenburg? According to Lennart Stegland, Volvo's Vice President of Electric Propulsion Systems, "Our basic view is that the owner of an electric vehicle shouldn't have to sacrifice any of the qualities he or she expects from a luxury car."
To that end, Volvo wants to be able to keep both the interior and battery up to prime operating temperatures no matter how frigid it gets outside.
Since battery range and life are diminished when the cells get too cold, Volvo uses a 6kW immersion heater to keep the temps up, both when charging and while the C30 is in motion. The heater can be set using a preconditioning timer to keep the battery temps in check and warm the interior from as much as -30-degrees celsius, and the system automatically pre-heats the packs when the temperature reaches -15-degrees.
But what about production applications? Volvo is keeping mum on its electrification efforts, but if it's sending engineers up and past the Esrange Space Centre, there's a good chance we'll be seeing an EV from the Swedes sometime soon.

Amazing apartment, and very nice guest, who helped us a lot during our trip. Unfortunately, when we came in the apartment, people who rent the apartment were still there, because a lack of good communication between the landlord and the previous customer.
I flew to Xi'an, and once I arrived to the airport, I called Clarence as he suggested. He then was able to tell the taxi directions to his apartment and I arrived 40 minutes later...the place is located right in the middle of all the historical action. Just a walk away from the old city walls, and the bell and drum tower. Walking into this place was a surprise to see all the warriors. The bed set-up was really cool as well, though somewhat creepy. At the headrest are four warriors and at the foot of the bed are another few. Everything was very comfortable, and he even offered me the beer in the fridge!

text: The ladies from one end of this decade to the other usually had jump content to include the 3z, so this should be fun - 1. Kwan '96 - 'Salome' is one of her best choreographed programs and she hit 7 triples and 2 2x's to squeak past defending champ Lu Chen. 2. Sato '94 - I think most including myself feel that her basics were the best and she executed the LP when it counted most in her home country. --Lipinski '98 [Nagano] - I thought this performance was superior to her '97 performance; a little more poise, still contained the 3l-3l and a 3-3 seq. at the end of the LP which beat Kwan. 3. Yamaguchi '91 - 'Samson and Delilah'. 3f - 3t seq. was daring at the time, although she popped the sal. But I thought she was quite spirited througout with decent non-jump elements, too. 4. Chen '95 - I feel 'The Last Emperor' was original and a real break-out for her on the choreo front. Also, she executed this program, but her spins weren't the best and I think she may have doubled something. --Yamaguchi '92 [Albertville] - 3z/3t, but stumbled on the 3l and doubled the sal 5. Butyrskaya '99 - the performance of her career with 'Otonal' before it became overused, true lutz and 3-3 seq. Still, was a little stiff at times in her non-jump elements, but had presence on the ice. 6. Lipinski '97 - She was good, clean, fast, with competent spins and spirals, and the 3l-3l was revolutionary, but she was still a bit juniorish overall. 7. Yamaguchi '92 - 'Malaguena'. 3z/3t but fell on the 3sal. I felt this performance was anti-climactic, though 8. Kwan '98 - Was a lesser performance of 'Lyra Angelica' after the magical performance at Nats and was even better at the Olympics. She stumbled on the 2x [I think] and the slow ethereal style didn't work if she wasn't committed to it 110% 9. Baiul '93- Despite all the hype at the time, I don't think this performance stands the test of time. Easy, poorly constructed program. 10. Trenary '90 - This performance content to 'Unchained Melody' was more from the '80s era. She skated well for her, and hit the 3f, but everything else was 3t or 3s. I always thought IMO that Jill was a little stiff and I always thought this music was cheesy and Nancy Kerrigan-like -- Baiul '94 [Lillehamer]- It's sad that this was an olympic-winning performance. On reflection, I would have this behind Trenary '90 whose performance was better constructed with actual spins, spiral, entrances and jump combos, and both had 3 triples

Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
If you want to attend an April 15 taping of the Fox News program Hannity, you'll have to pay the Cincinnati Tea Party $5 to $100.
Going beyond just promoting the Tea Party movement, Fox News is apparently allowing host Sean Hannity to tape his Thursday show at the Cincinnati Tea Party's (CTP) 2010 Tax Day Tea Party, which requires paid tickets. The event, held at the University of Cincinnati, will feature a "Taping of Sean Hannity's Fox News Show," a "Hannity Book Signing," and speeches from local Ohio figures. According to a CTP promotional flier, "All proceeds benefit the Cincinnati Tea Party."
CTP is selling more expensive tickets by promising better viewing of Hannity's Fox News program. For instance, CTP offers "premium reserved seating by the Hannity show" for $20; VIP seats, which include a "Floor ticket to event and dinner at the UC restaurant overlooking the arena!" for $100; and general admission seating for $5. The Cincinnati Enquirer reported today that the $20 premium seats give you "a chance to be on TV" and added that organizers "expect a sold-out crowd" of 13,000.
Hannity has repeatedly used his Fox News program to promote and help sell tickets to his CTP event. In the past week specifically, Hannity has noted his stop in Cincinnati and encouraged viewers to be a "part of the studio audience" by finding more information on his personal website, which contains a link to the UC box office.
For instance (retrieved from Nexis):
- HANNITY: "[T]hen our final show will come Thursday from Cincinnati. That's right, tax day, April 15. Now, details about the tour and the book are on my Web site and how you can part of the 'Hannity' program and come see us." [Hannity, April 12]
- HANNITY: "Our final show on the 15th, by the way, tax day, a big rally in Cincinnati. We have great guests lined up all next week. And details about the tour and the book are at Hannity.com." [Hannity, April 9]
- HANNITY: "And then tax day we will be in Cincinnati. If you want to join the show, it's all on my Web site, Hannity.com. And hopefully, you can part of the studio audience. My Web site, Hannity.com." [Hannity, April 8]
- HANNITY: "We will be in Cincinnati. If you want to be a part of this show, it's all on my Web site, Hannity.com. Hannity.com." [Hannity, April 7]
- HANNITY: "And by the way, if you want to find out how you can join us, either there or in Grand Rapids on Thursday or in New Orleans on Friday or the following week in Florida, Atlanta and Cincinnati on April 15, just go to my Web site. Details about the tour, my new book are at Hannity.com." [Hannity, April 6]
On his website, Hannity includes the text, "Tickets for the event can be purchased HERE," which directs to the UC box office.
The Enquirer further reported that an event organizer said he's "excit[ed]" to have Hannity coming to Cincinnati and that the strong ticket sales will offset the cost of putting on the April 15 event. The organizer added that if there's "an overage, which I doubt, it will go to the Cincinnati Tea Party for future events."
While in Ohio, Hannity will also do a fundraiser for former Fox News employee and Republican gubernatorial candidate John Kasich.
