|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Navy LDO
|Awesome tutorial and thank you for sharing with the rest of us. I truly appreciate it.
Great stuff, as usual!
Thanks for this
|Here's the finished rear panels.
|The first picture shows the two positioning holes that I circled with a magic marker. The next step is to glue down the padding over the steel strip, and glue the new vinyl of the new panel to the back side of the steel strip and the new door panel. The last things to do are to put back the chrome ferrule and attach the new weatherstripping. I attach the new weatherstripping with stainless steel pop rivets. You can attach them with staples, pop rivets, or small screws, but the pop rivets are the easiest and also seem to hold the best. Here are the finished panels.
|Here are the pictures of drilling the 1/8" holes, putting in the rivets, and the finished rivet after peening the back side.
|Here are the pictures of closing and flattening the punched holes in the steel. The hole in the last picture is a positioning hole drilled in the steel from the factory and also in the new panel. There are two positioning holes. That picture also shows the punchings closed and flattened. To attach the two pieces together, you just spray contact adhesive on both parts, mate up the positioning holes and press the two parts together with the panel on the inside of the steel piece.
|The next step is to remove the old panel board from the steel top piece. I just cut through the vinyl on the outside to expose the panel and then cut the panel off with a utility knife. I then remove the rest of the old panel from the steel strip from the back side. The old panel was held on to the steel by a press operation that punched a series of small holes through the steel and the panel board and then crimped each of the holes in the steel onto the Masonite panel board. Because there is no way to duplicate this process, we need to come up with a way to attach the panel board some other way. The simplest way to attach the new board is with top and trim contact adhesive. The problem is to get rid of the punchings through the steel and flatten the edge of the steel to make a better surface for gluing. To do that, I squeeze the punched flanges together with a pliers and then hammer them flat. Gluing will hold the new board to the steel top piece, but it scares me a little to rely on just the contact adhesive. My solution is to use aluminum pop rivets. The problem is that I don't want the back side of the rivet protruding. After gluing the new panel to the steel, I drill some 1/8" holes through the steel and the new panel board, remove the pin from the rivet, push the rivet through the holes from the steel side, and peen over the shank of the aluminum rivet. This provides some mechanical fastening as well as the contact adhesive, and holds the two pieces together just fine.
Replacing Door Panel Boards
I am working on a '71 Ford Torino convertible right now that needs the door panel boards replaced. The owner ordered replacement panels that are replicas of the originals to the car, but they did not come with the steel top pieces. These needed to be salvaged from the original door panels and attached to the new door panels. Here is that process.
The first thing to do is to remove the chrome trim ferrule that protects the door locking knob. This is a simple job. All that you need to do is bend out the metal teeth that hold the ferrule on from the back side. I just pry the teeth up with a flat screw driver. Some of these ferrules may not be in good shape, so you may need to replace them, but these are solid and will be re-used. The next step is to remove the weatherstripping from the top edge of the door panel. The strips are held on with staples, so there are two ways to go about this. If you're trying to save the weatherstrips, you need to carefully cut the staples. Because I had new strips to work with, I just basically tore the old strips off and cut the staples out afterward.

Delta Scientific Director: Gulf Coast Duck Assessment Lacked Leadership, Coherent Planning
Delta Waterfowl Scientific Director Frank Rohwer
Bismarck, N.D.—The federal assessment to measure the 2010 Gulf Coast oil spill's impact on waterfowl lacked leadership, urgency and coherent planning.
"As a scientist, one of my great frustrations is that we have failed to use this disaster to learn how to better deal with any future oil spills," says Louisiana State University's Dr. Frank Rohwer, who was assigned by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to conduct the waterfowl assessment. Unfortunately, Dr. Rohwer says, we don't know any more today than we did before the spill happened.
"Judging from the inefficiency I saw in the waterfowl arena," he says, "I'd bet that assessment applies across the board."
The good news, says Rohwer, is that the oil spill wasn't the duck calamity some predicted. "From what we found during the assessment, it was the duck catastrophe that didn't happen," he says, "but next time we might not be so lucky."
A professor at LSU's School of Renewable Natural Resources since 1991, Dr. Rohwer, who doubles as Delta Waterfowl's scientific director, was assigned to conduct the assessment as part of the Natural Resource Damage Assessment Program. The results will be used to determine BP's liability for losses of migratory birds and other water birds.
Beginning in late January, Rohwer led a team of student-researchers who followed "transects" in five designated sites along the Gulf Coast, a major wintering area for millions of ducks, geese and other migratory birds.
"We only recovered a handful of confirmed oiled birds," says Rohwer. "The upshot is that we got lucky."
Rohwer said he had high pre-assessment expectations because the "roster of advisors" had some very smart duck professionals on it. However, in less than a month, the planning process got bogged down in bureaucratic inefficiency and ill-conceived staffing decisions.
"It was six months after the spill started before we even had a draft plan for how to assess oil impacts—that was a month after the well was capped, a month after early migrants made it to Louisiana, and several months after oil came inshore and could have impacted our resident mottled ducks," Rohwer said. "There was another four-month delay before we got crews in the field in January to begin the actual assessment of the oil's impacts."
Rohwer says future spill assessments could be dramatically improved by "consistent leadership" and utilizing professionals who "understand waterfowl, waterfowl biology and coastal ecosystems."
"That just didn't happen this time around," he said. "And that made getting an assessment plan written and approved very, very difficult."
For example, the lead USFWS official for the Waterfowl Technical Working Group was appointed for only two weeks or less, and not one had any knowledge or professional experience with migratory waterfowl or Gulf Coast ecosystems. "The system of rotating waterfowl officials was completely and totally inefficient," Rohwer said. "There's simply too much to learn. After a week a new person would get up to speed, then they'd be out the door. Totally efficient system.
"The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employs hundreds of waterfowl professionals, but none who were appointed as leaders for the assessment were experts in the field," added Rohwer. "Instead, they came from the permitting and regulatory side of the agency. That just doesn't make any sense."
For future major Gulf Coast oil spills, Rohwer recommends "hiring one person on contract" to manage the entire waterfowl assessment. "It's so important to get plans written and approved quickly, because delays make it extremely difficult to accurately determine waterfowl mortality and other impacts," he said. "A contract person who understands waterfowl and the Gulf Coast could assemble a team quickly, and get a plan approved quickly. To make this process work more efficiently and to ensure the best possible research, you absolutely have to have consistent leadership. The system of rotating leaders simply doesn't work."
Future compensation from BP, Rohwer said, is unknown. But for future spills, a more efficient assessment process will help more accurately determine liability. "I think BP benefitted from the lack of leadership in this process," he said. "Hopefully one thing we take from this is that we have to have a faster response so we can more accurately assess damages. We need to mobilize quickly."

Six Phoenix Student-Athletes Earn Winter Academic All-League Honors
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
INDIANAPOLIS (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Six UW-Green Bay student-athletes have been recognized as members of the 2014 Winter Academic All-Horizon League Teams, the conference office announced on Thursday. The teams, which represent success in competition as well as in the classroom, were voted on by the league's faculty athletics representatives and athletics communications directors.
Sports eligible for the winter all-league teams are men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming and diving and men's and women's indoor track and field. Green Bay sponsors four of the six winter sports, as it does not participate in track and field.
Earning academic all-league honors for the Phoenix were women's basketball's Megan Lukan (Barrie, Ontario) and swimming and diving's Carrie Dinelli (Northbrook, Ill.), Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.), Brian Heiser (McFarland, Wis.), Connor Huff (Dubuque, Iowa) and Ryan Korslin (Rudolph, Wis.).
Lukan, a junior point guard, owns a 3.429 cumulative grade-point average while majoring in communication and business administration. She was selected to the Horizon League All-Defensive Team in 2013-14, helping the Phoenix hold its opponents to just 59.6 points per game. Lukan appeared in all 32 games this past season, making 31 starts. She led the Phoenix with 135 assists and also added 51 steals – totals that ranked fourth and 10th in the league, respectively. In addition, Lukan paced the Phoenix and ranked second in the Horizon League with a 1.9 assist-to-turnover ratio.
A senior diver, Dinelli boasts an impressive 3.933 GPA as a human biology major. She won a total of nine diving events in 2013-14 and qualified for the NCAA Zone D Diving Championships for the first time in her career. Dinelli earned a podium finish on the 3-meter board at the 2014 Horizon League Championships, finishing sixth with a score of 274.95. She also had a standout performance in Green Bay's dual meet at Milwaukee on Feb. 1, winning both diving events while posting a career-best score of 286.87 in the 3-meter competition.
Wolf, also a senior, holds a 3.53 GPA while majoring in business administration. She collected 18 first-place finishes for the Phoenix in 2013-14, and was twice named Horizon League Swimmer of the Week (Oct. 29, Jan. 14). Wolf placed third in the 50-yard freestyle (23.49) and fourth in the 200-yard freestyle (1:51.54) at the 2014 Horizon League Championship meet.
Heiser maintained a perfect 4.00 GPA throughout his UW-Green Bay career while majoring in business administration, history and economics. The senior picked up four total wins in the pool for the Phoenix this year, including three in the 200-yard backstroke.
Huff, a sophomore communication major with a 3.533 GPA, grabbed a pair of individual wins in the pool for the Phoenix in 2013-14. He also earned two top-eight finishes at the 2014 Horizon League Championships, placing sixth in the 200-yard butterfly and eighth in the 500-yard freestyle.
Korslin had an outstanding junior campaign for the Phoenix men while maintaining a 3.277 GPA as a psychology major. He claimed 12 individual victories in the breaststroke events in 2013-14 and took home a pair of individual Horizon League titles. Korslin won both the 100 and 200-yard breaststroke events at the 2014 Horizon League meet, and also swam on the winning 200 medley relay squad. All told, Korslin finished the Horizon League Championships with four school records, breaking the standards in the 100 breaststroke, 200 breaststroke, 200 medley relay and 400 medley relay.
Dinelli, Wolf, Heiser, Huff and Korslin also helped their squads achieve the College Swimming Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) Team Scholar All-American awards for the fall 2013 semester.
The Horizon League recognizes student-athletes with seasonal Academic All-League Teams in each of its 19 championship sports. To be eligible for Academic All-Horizon League consideration, a student-athlete must have a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or higher and have completed at least one year at the member institution, having earned 24 credits.
A total of 76 student-athletes from the Horizon League's nine schools were honored. Conference newcomer Oakland led the way with 14 selections, while Detroit and Milwaukee were next with 11 apiece.

Great Skin!
Love the 'Simplicity'
BUT I am trying to add a custom Item to the Home Screen called
'Factual' That i can add my Documentary sources to, Instead of having them in Tv shows or Movies.
Tried using the Add shortCut but it is coming back with.
'Can not find favourites.XML'
I have found a post that stated there was a BUG in 1.0.5 and install 1.0.6
(Assuming it is 'Favourites Script' that is used)
Installed 1.0.6, still no joy,
Have read a few guides but can't seem to fit it all together with the simplicity skin and the way it's implemented.
Apologies coming over from a Basic XBOX-XBMC to a Linux Mint based one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Using the XBMC Skin download, not a SVN source.

I assume I am talking about the same thing.
It's installed in addons/script.favourites
Tried version 1.0.5 (as posted) and the newer 1.0.6
SO I can confirm that the 'Favourites Script' does work with this skin
If so I will go bug 'Ronie' they seam to know about it

First off I would like to say that I love this skin. It is simple enough that my girlfriend can use it, yet it still maintains a pleasing aesthetic.
I do however have two questions (forgive me if these have been covered somewhere else, I looked as best I could, but could not find an answer to either)
1. Is there a way to separate the fan art into separate categories for TV shows and Movies? On the home screen background, I have selected to use fanart for the TV shows and Movies buttons, but they end up using a mix of both for each one (i.e. The background on the home screen for TV Shows, shows Dexter, then transitions to Avatar, then to Community, then to Batman etc. This is the exact same for Movies)
2. TV Tunes does not seem to work at all. I have downloaded the tracks to all my shows, but I cannot hear anything when viewing the shows page. Even when clicking on "theme" in the show's info page, I hear nothing.
I am running Dharma on a Mac Mini running snow leopard, if that helps at all.
I also got Simplicity from the repo.
Thanks again for the help!

I think there is a bug, when playing music the clean visualization should only trigger if in home screen, if you're actually on the music visualization (with milkdrop for instance) it shouldn't trigger

igotdvds, I really like your skin.
At last a skin brings a new, different and refreshing look to the libraries views.
I do hope that you'll add support to LiveTV as many users are using this feature and it would become a more and more common as times goes on.
Unfortunately, till then I can't use it

Thank you very much for such a fabulous skin, it's the only one I actively use.
When my XBMC loads it goes in to to Files menu, I can't remember what I did, can someone please point me in the right direction?
I have a suggestion, it might be just me being picky, but the menu during playing when you press the [m] key doesn't quite feel aesthetically consistent with the other menu such as pause and info menu. Could you add a little transparency and maybe a darker tone?
Also, would it be possible to add an option for 'settings' when you press the [S] key?
I love everything else about the skin. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic skin Team S3, disappointed with myself that I didn't trial and explore this one sooner but I'm glad to have discovered it now. Looking forward to giving Sketchy a run when it's ready.
This is one of the few skins that doesn't have the media content saved as a textures file so you can add to it and you're using my favourite genre icons instead of the standard default ones.
I noticed there are ratings flags for other countries. If I were to add OFLC ratings flags for Australia to that ratings folder, is there anything I need to do other than rescraping my content so they're displayed instead of the default MPAA ones?
In the viewtype Screens, what thumbs are meant to be displayed in the screens? as there are sometimes blank screens when a movie is selected.
I don't quite get the Carousel list viewtype, are the movie posters that scroll in the middle frame supposed to be displayed for longer? At the moment you could blink and miss them so unsure if this is by design or if I'm doing something wrong.
Is it possible to decrease the diffusion for fanart so it's a little more visible. I deliberately select and save all my movie fanart in each movie's folder and would like to see them a little more clearly.
Love the guide tips for each viewtype so you know which direction to press the arrow in to access the menu, so simple yet effective.
Edit: Carousel list is working properly now must have been a momentary glitch on my machine

the skin is really great and i use it as my custom skin now. good work! I got just two questions:
a. is there a chance to manually delete the cd-animation on homescreen, which shows up on now playing. i like the homescreen simple and without any animations
b. i am wondering why the hide tv-show option is greyed-out in my settings so that i can not hide it from main menue
would be most thanfull for response, regards from berlin

I don't plan it unfortunately. Maybe someone else will design it, at which point I could merge it with the master branch.

Hammer 7 First Impressions
Posted 16 December 2012 - 03:55 AM
I picked up a Hammer 7 this week. Sadly, I wont be able to run paint through it until next weekend. Keep that in mind with what I will be mentioning in this post. The following are my initial impressions of the marker. THIS IS NOT A REVIEW!!!
First thing is first, this marker covers three bases for me: this is my first pump, my first mag fed, and my first experience with first strike rounds. When I opened the box I was rather happy to find a sleeve of first strike rounds. Along with this is a barrel plug (?), a nice full colour manual, and a parts kit that is far superior to any kingman/spyder parts kit I have ever seen. An extra cup seal, extra screws, ball detent, and orings, enough to keep the marker going for a long time.
Now for the marker itself. One the mag fed side of things, it is a great design. It takes a second or two to get used to putting them in, but they work great. They close when you remove them from the marker so you don't have to worry about the clip emptying on you if you pull it out before you've used all the paint (at least with the first strike rounds). The included mag works with both first strike and with regular paintballs. From what my local dealer has told me, mags will be a bit hard to get a hold of for a little while. They made enough for the markers they have made and will be making more in the near future. Also note, this marker does NOT fit the previous kingman magazines.
Moving to the top of the marker and it's included feedneck. To start, thank you for including the optional vert feed. It would have been easy for a company to put the feedneck as an optional "upgrade". Looking at the feedneck itself, it's plastic but it is not the thin POS plastic from kingmans of old. Anyone remember the feedneck off the e-99? Just me? Well, it was junk. This one will take some abuse and may not be a nice lever lock, but will clamp down hard enough to keep your hopper safe. That said, there are there is an issue with the feedneck that is currently driving me crazy. The feedneck is held on with two screws rather than being threaded in. This is a problem as most screw drivers wont reach the screws to tighten the feedneck enough to make it a tight fit. Your results may very, but it is a small negative.
Be aware that this marker requires tools to switch from mag fed to hopper fed, but it looks like this may be an option in the future. It uses a spyder threaded rotating breach that has an amazingly well designed idea in it. A common problem with pump markers is roll out, where the ball is loaded into the barrel before firing and if the bore is to large the ball rolls forward and messes up your shot. (Disclaimer: this is my first pump, let alone my fist hammer so this may be an old and well used idea), The way they get around this on the hammer 7 is having an extended breach with two ball detents in separate locations. There is one detent when the ball is dropper in front of the bolt. When the bolt moves forward and is ready to fire, there is another detent to keep the ball in place. Being a single detent in both locations, force fed loaders may pose a problem.
The pump arm. Now, this is where something interesting pops up. The pump arm is plastic. A heavy plastic that I do not see any issues of durability under normal use. The pump arm rests right against the barrels and makes any of the after market barrels I own unusable with the marker in its stock form. I was really looking forward to putting my spyder threaded freak on this thing but it simply didn't fit. The good news is that the barrel that comes with the marker has two things going for it. One is that it is honed to a glass finish on the inside (again, the e-99 barrel? Anyone?), the other is that the tip of the barrel can be swapped out if you're after a different look. There is no porting so it's not doing you any favors on the sound side of things (was loud as hell in the store). There are some barrels that will fit, but double check a barrel will fit before you put any money down. Being plastic, I am considering modding it to fit a freak as it would be easy enough to grind it down. This may be a negative for myself, but for a great deal of people it will make little to no difference. Remember, there is a difference between a design choice and a design flaw. (Side note for those who care, barrels that I can confirm don't fit: Dye UL, SP Freak (Not sure if the newer GOG is thinner), SP Progressive).
The aim will be to give this thing a run through within a week but we shall see. Again, this is NOT a review.

They wanted to do barrel condoms but they had to pay royalties in order to include them so they didn't include it.
The 9rd mags teh last I've heard will be shipped to dealers very soon if they haven't already
Also those feednecks have proven themselves on ccm, they just work.
Along with that sleeve some on mcb have found thumbscrews to adjust on the fly so its tool-less, kingman also was talking about possibly selling an autococker sleeve soon so you can use cocker barrels. With your detent concerns I'm fairly confident that you can pop a rotor on it and it shouldn't double feed.
But yeah can't wait to see what's your full opinion on it after a few days out balling!

If you are referring to the barrel plug,almost all guns come with barrel socks nowadays.But it is a pump,so it should suffice.
Never thought much of having something in the barrel that your ball contacts as it flies out.

Ok, so all in all I had fun playing with this thing, but I have found some minor and some major issues with it thus far.
First thing is first, I was unable to get it to fire over 263fps. This may need some breaking in, but I tried to turn up the velocity and was unable to get it passed that. If fact, as I raised it I got to 263, gave it another turn and it started dropping. Ended up playing the night around 250fps, which was ok but wasn't ideal Adjusting through the barrel was far less of a pain in the ass than expected. Going to give it a tear down and relube everything and see if that helps.
At faster firing rates, about one in ten shots looked to fire at about 100fps. Again this could work itself out after breaking it in, but it kinda sucked on the field.
As expected, it is very loud on the field. Not as loud as the rentals, but it does make a nice "crack" when you fire. A ported barrel would more than likely drop this down, but the stock barrel wasn't causing any issues. For those concerned about the detent causing any problems, I did not notice and strange curves or anything being caused by it so I wouldn't worry about it. Wouldn't use any really brittle paint with it. Despite the boom, it has a very smooth shot. Didn't notice any kick which was great to see, but may change when I get the velocity up.
Now, if you switch over to the feedneck be very careful that it is lined up properly. When I first went to play it looked to be orientated properly, and was locking in place, but was slightly off angle and was causing feeding problems. This was user error, and was easily fixed. Once in place, it fed perfectly the rest of the night. The pump stroke was a bit stiff but nothing unmanageable, and thanks to the design unless something slips past the detents you can't double feed by mistake.
On the mag side of things, I did not play using the mag fed option, but I did mess around with it a little to test some things. I loaded it up and lost count, and when I overloaded it I triggered the mag and all the balls flew out across the staging area. After that wonderfully embarrassing moment, I decided to carefully load it and make sure I didn't overflow the mag. I then very purposefully dropped the mag onto the table, about a one foot drop. This caused the mag to once again unload itself violently. If I were to play with say, two mags in a holster, I would avoid doing any major slides that could result in bumping the mags.
Despite the issues, it was still a fun night. I am still glad I purchased this marker, and if I can get the velocity worked out I will still recommend it when I do a full review.

Ford EcoBoost Demand Booms as Overall EV Sales Soften

Consumers choose fuel efficient normal vehicles over EVs and hybrids
Despite the fact that gas prices are at record levels in many parts of the country, the sales of electric vehicles are still falling. Many consumers are staying away from electric vehicles due to the relatively high cost of entry and range anxiety (in the case of the Nissan Leaf).
Two of the most popular electric vehicles in the country are the
Chevrolet Volt
and the Nissan Leaf. The Volt isn't a traditional electric vehicle; rather it's an extended range hybrid that runs on battery power and features a generator to recharge the battery for extended driving. GM says that in the month of April 2012 1,462 Volts were sold, which represents 200% increase from April of 2011 when 493 were sold.
April was the second best month for retail sales of Volt cars since it launched in 2010. Interestingly, the good month for Volt sales comes not long after
GM suspended production
of the car due to soft demand.
Chevrolet Volt sales are up.
While sales of the Volt were up, the Nissan Leaf saw sales fall 35% with only 370 units sold. Nissan hopes to sell 20,000 Leaf EVs this year, and will have to sell over 2200 monthly to meet that goal.
While electric vehicle sales are down, Ford has a booming business with its fuel-efficient
EcoBoost-powered vehicles
. Ford has announced that it has started a third shift at the Cleveland plant that builds EcoBoost engines.
The addition of a third shift to the engine building plant will add 250 jobs. However, most of those positions will be filled by employees that are transferring from a different Cleveland engine plant that will be placed on idle later this week.
The 2013 Ford Fusion will offer two EcoBoost four-cylinder engine options.
"Our engine plant in Cleveland is the first and only facility in North America to produce EcoBoost engines, and we are tripling production capacity to meet customers' growing needs for fuel-efficient engines," said Ford Americas President Mark Fields during a celebration with employees at the plant Tuesday. "EcoBoost engines are a key part of our plan to give customers the power of choice — from EcoBoost-powered vehicles and hybrids, to plug-in hybrids and full electrics."
Ford's EcoBoost engine has found its way the under the hood of everything from
full-sized trucks
small economy vehicles
. EcoBoost engines use a smaller displacement engine with turbochargers for increased power and fuel efficiency.

Lucas: From The Top Down
Roy Williams left Chapel Hill from 1973-78 to be the head coach at Asheville's Owen High School. We all need to take this moment to be extraordinarily grateful that he chose to take that job, because otherwise there's a decent chance he might not still be with us today.
It was during that stretch, you see, that NC State reeled off nine wins in a row against the Tar Heels, a figure that equals the sum total of Wolfpack victories in the series since the day P.J. Hairston was born on Dec. 24, 1992 (yes, that's true). The battle for the state wasn't fought with billboards or marketing slogans in the mid-1970s. It didn't have to be, because State had David Thompson and Tom Burleson and everyone knew who owned the series while they were wearing red.
Thankfully, Williams did not have to sit on the sideline for those games, because he might not have survived it. Have you watched him, really watched him, coach a game against the Wolfpack? Midway through the second half, he clapped his hands together so forcefully while expressing amazement at Lorenzo Brown drawing a charge while turning his back to James Michael McAdoo that he clapped his watch straight off his wrist.
No problem. He grabbed the watch in one hand, deposited it in his left pants pocket, readjusted his championship ring--those darn things are bulky and tend to get in the way, you know--and kept on pleading/cajoling/coaching his team.
"Come on!" he shouted on almost every defensive possession, and you just know players of this era will hear this in their sleep long after they hang up their argyle. "Come ooooooon!"
It was that kind of afternoon at the Smith Center. It felt like an old-time ACC game--4 p.m. on a Saturday, sellout crowd, conference positioning at stake. All we needed was Dinah Shore to hand out the Holly Farms Player of the Game award afterwards (kids, ask your parents).
If she'd been there, she would've been hard-pressed to give the honor to anyone but Marcus Paige. Williams has now called Paige "a tough little nut" three times in the past two days. That's high praise from the head coach, who has previously reserved that exact phrase for players like Raymond Felton and Ty Lawson (who was the rare player who could also occasionally earn a "wacko tough little nut" description).
In the minutes before Saturday's game, Paige--who received a thorough education from State's Lorenzo Brown in the first meeting--told P.J. Hairston, "This is going to be a different game."
But saying that is not what makes him a tough little nut.
This is what makes him a tough little nut: saying that, and then backing it up with 14 points, eight assists and zero turnovers. Included among those 14 points was an enormous three-pointer in front of the Tar Heel bench, when Paige had time to eye the rim, gaze around at his teammates, look at the rim again, consider exactly whose state this actually was, look at the rim for a third time, and fire it through to turn a two-point UNC deficit into a one-point lead. Gio Bernard ran back the punt for a touchdown in less time than Paige had to eyeball that shot.
"I honestly thought someone was going to come cover the ball and I'd make one more pass to a shooter," Paige said. "When that happens, you have to step up and take the shot."
Carolina played with that type of edge all afternoon. In Raleigh, they looked a little overwhelmed. Saturday, they looked like they belonged.
"We've been doing this for a long time," said Leslie McDonald, who played two big second-half defensive possessions on Scott Wood. "And we're not backing down. We're not ready to let go of our state."
Certainly not as long as Roy Williams occupies the biggest office in the Smith Center. The head coach's intensity has a way of spreading. No player who has ever played for him at Carolina has failed to understand exactly how Williams feels about the Wolfpack. Almost ten years ago, Ohio native Jawad Williams stood in the UNC locker room after a win in Raleigh and said, "When I got here, I didn't know anything about State-Carolina. But Coach Williams makes it very clear."
Look back at the photo on the front page of this site. Hairston looks pretty excited, right? But look behind him--there's Williams, who looks like he just converted a three-point play himself. And there's assistant coach Steve Robinson in full fist-pump mode, like Tiger Woods on the 18th green.
Late in the game--the outcome was already decided--Hubert Davis thought some Tar Heels were celebrating too early. He ripped his glasses off his face because, well, his glasses were the only thing nearby that wasn't bolted down. He flung off the glasses, scowled at the court, clinched his fists, and then realized there wasn't much left to do except slam his glasses back over his ears.
Davis, you see, was 3-5 in his playing career against the Wolfpack, including three losses by a top-10 Carolina team to an unranked State squad.
A hallway that leads to the Tar Heel locker room runs behind the media room. Usually, it's fairly quiet as the assembled media waits for Williams to appear for his postgame press conference. Some journalists are writing their game stories, some are tweeting (OK, they're all tweeting) and others are perusing the stats.
Through that quiet came a celebratory yell. "Wooooooo!" shouted someone who was clearly running towards the locker room, giving off a perfect Doppler effect as the owner of the shout raced down the hallway.
A bystander poked his head out to find out the identity of the shouter.
"It's Hubert," he reported back.
Oh, well, that makes sense for a player like Desmond Hubert to be fired up after a big ACC win. Good for Desmond that he was showing such emotion...
"Hubert Davis," came the clarification.
That led to Paige's only turnover of the day. Asked about the scene in the Tar Heel locker room, the freshman replied, "It was pretty businesslike."
Sure, if your business is being Ric Flair. Let's give Paige a break. He's a freshman and he's not sure exactly how much he can reveal just yet. So, let's turn the microphone back over to McDonald and let him tell us the truth about what happened.
"In the locker room both before the game and after the game, Coach Williams was so fired up," McDonald said. "There was no doubt we were ready before the game. As a matter of fact, we were ready after the game. Coach Williams came into the locker room after the game so pumped up and fired up that I think we could've gone out and played them again."
Roy Williams is now a combined 42-9 against NC State when sitting on the Carolina bench as either an assistant coach or head coach. And he's coached every single one of them like it's the middle of the 1970s.
Adam Lucas is the publisher of Tar Heel Monthly and the author or co-author of seven books on the Tar Heels.


text: MTA seeks improvements in funding formula for charter schools The MTA is pledging to work with the Legislature and governor. The MTA is pledging to work with the Legislature and Governor Deval Patrick in the months ahead to achieve a fair funding formula for charter schools. The Legislature is now considering two bills – one filed by the Patrick administration and the other at the request of Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino – that would have significant implications for the number of charter schools in Massachusetts. The MTA strongly opposes both bills as filed. The association is calling for a better funding system and binding mechanisms to ensure that charter schools serve all children, including students who have special needs, come from low-income families, are English language learners or are at risk of dropping out. "The MTA supports innovation and reform in all schools and encourages school districts and educators to work together to establish new programs and teaching strategies that promote student achievement and help close student achievement gaps," MTA Vice President Paul Toner stated while testifying on the Menino bill on July 21 before the Legislature's Joint Committee on Education. The mayor's proposal was the first to be heard in the Legislature. Funding losses hurt students A hearing has been scheduled for September 17 on the governor's legislation, which was filed in mid-July. That measure has the potential to create an estimated 27,000 new spots in charter schools in about 30 low-performing districts, according to The Boston Globe. It would take away funding for these students from local budgets, resulting in losses to school systems that are already increasing class sizes, laying off teachers and other educators, raising activity and busing fees, and cutting music, art, physical education and other vital programs. Because of the districts the legislation affects, the very children most in need would be the ones who lose crucial resources. "Doubling the amount of money that charter schools can drain from our highest-poverty public school districts will do great harm to our students and our communities – and it will be especially painful during the severe recession we are now experiencing," Toner said in a press release when the legislation was proposed. The MTA credited the governor for recognizing the problems faced by struggling schools, noting that he understands the need for Commonwealth charter schools to serve student populations similar to those educated by their sending districts. The key, Toner said, is to have effective provisions to ensure that mission is fulfilled. "When charter schools initially came into being, there were lots of promises that their 'best practices' would be shared and replicated elsewhere," he said. "Years later, this still has not happened. We are concerned there will be a similar lack of follow-through if this flawed legislation is approved as proposed." The MTA believes the legislation in its present form will not advance the goal of helping all students succeed. "A bill raising the cap without fixing the funding formula does not help public education," Toner said. Mayor's plan jeopardizes education reform Mayor Menino's bill would enable local school districts to convert underperforming schools into in-district charter schools without teachers' unions. The MTA believes the legislation would create significant unevenness and would ill-serve students. "The passage of the Education Reform Act of 1993 established statewide standards for which districts are held accountable," Toner said during his testimony before the education committee. He called the proposal "a throwback to pre-1993." "If passed, this bill would allow each community to establish its own definition of what constitutes an underperforming school," Toner noted, adding that such a system would allow for "the creation of widely different standards from district to district." "Good education policy recognizes that schools work best when there is collaboration between parents, teachers, students and administrators," Toner said. "This bill does not encourage this collaboration." Nor would the establishment of a murky pay-for-performance system, as the bill proposes. The idea would undermine the kind of common efforts that are key to having good schools, Toner said. He also sharply criticized the proposal's attack on collective bargaining. "This bill would set us on a path that we have not been on since the 1965 passage of collective bargaining in Massachusetts, since each district can establish its own criteria that could trigger a series of actions, including the firing of teachers without any due-process rights," Toner told the legislators. "The potential for abuse in the decisions about personnel exists because of the lack of checks and balances." New formula needed Like the administration plan, the one being advocated by Menino fails to address the most important problem with charter schools: the funding structure. "Many school districts have been adversely affected as a result of charter schools draining much needed funds from the regular public schools," Toner said. The MTA plans to work with all parties in fixing the funding formula and addressing other issues as the charter situation unfolds in the summer and fall. As that occurs, the association will continue to promote solutions that will move education reform forward and to pursue positive changes based on the expertise of educators and their experiences in classrooms throughout Massachusetts. "As we have demonstrated time and again through our commitment to the Expanded Learning Time Initiative and many other innovative programs, Massachusetts educators are prepared to collaborate with all parties and determined to help all students succeed," Toner said.

Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
Well, well. I see that some of you guys wanna tread where 'Pro' hangs his hat huh? Ok then, I'll chime in so everyone can have someone to gang up on!
Ok, new coaches, new offense, same old players right?
It's not out of the scope of thought that a new coach with a four year deal will more than likely want his own guy at QB, even if he doesn't start his first season.
Boller is the 'vet' if you want to call him that, and he's more than likely gonna start simply because it makes no sense to tarnish McNair's legacy any further by asking him to do what appears at this point to be the impossible; make it through an entire season healthy.
Even if you draft a guy, the likelyhood of him beating out both Boller and Smith aren't very high. Even if he shows great promise it's just not smart to throw him into the fire so quickly, look at what it's done to the aformentioned Kyle Boller's career?
Ideally, you'd want to draft a guy this year and let him sit and learn all he can to be as ready as possible to take over Cam's offense the next year similarily to what happened in San Diego between Brees and Rivers.
With that being said, it's just a good idea for the Ravens to pick up a QB this year anyways, and if I had to make my best guess I'd say that the ideal candidate to run Cam's offense is 'Matty Ice' aka Matt Ryan from Boston College.
Matty Ice is a bad Mo-fo. He's a guy who I think would do well in a versatile offense where you'd want to utilize the backs and tight end in the passing game and spread the ball around to move the chains.
Anyone who saw him play his best saw that he's decisive, accurate and not easily rattled. He's got all of the intangibles to be an effective player given a little time to adapt to the NFL.
He'd be my first round pick if he fell to the 8th spot, you gotta pull the trigger.
Just my opinion.-Pro-
Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
For our QB pick in this draft (I think we've got to take one unless there's someone in FA we really like) then I really like Chad Henne at #8 in round 2. He's my favourite QB in this draft, over any of the first round guys right now. I love his arm, I love his leadership and poise in the huddle, I love the fact he's a four year starter at a top program, I love that he has great experience of leaning on a running game and being a game manager. I think he's got everything and is flying under the radar due to an injury riddled senior season.
Mark me down as pro-Henne.
Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
I do like Henne, I think he could be grabbed later, though this may change. He has looked godo at the senior bowl, and really was dogged early after Appalchian State, btu came back stronger late in the year... IF we miss on Both Brohm and Ryan, and trade back in either round, and acquire a mid=late 2nd in the process, I would be inclined to use that pick on that gry over an earlier pick on Woodson, Ainge or Flacco. Henne may be passing all three in my books'

Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
Why not an O linemen?
We could draft Jesus and wouldnt matter one bit if we cant protect him long term. Linemen are not sexy picks, I freely admit it. But with JO and others on the downside of their careers, we need to protect whomever is making the throws. That's the modle other teams have set forth (Pats, Colts, Steelers, Skins back in the 80's, etc.) and it works.
When building a battleship, you lay the armour before you install the guns!
Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
Also, another young guy doesn't help this offensive line in my opinion. They wouldn't displace anyone other than Ogden or Flynn, which would only make this line younger. I've mentioned it before but if Flynn and Ogden both go, Jason Brown is our most experienced o-lineman with about 25 starts to his name. We'd need a damned fine offensive line coach for that to be a suitable situation in terms of leadership on that line.
I think if we upgrade this line we bring in a vet, don't see young guys upgrading this line particularly, just sets back the line gelling for another season IMO.
Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
Stockers, completely agree on Leodis McKelvin and Henne. I dunno if #8 is too high for McKelvin or Cason though. I just did my initial top 32 and I have this draft as: 5 players at the top, then 20 or so below them almost equal. My top 5 are: Jake Long, McFadden, Dorsey, Ellis and Chris Long.
Id love us to trade down 10 spots or so and grab McKelvin or Cason. Then take Henne or Booty in round two.

Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
We may have our differences here on this board, but I come from the same school of thought regarding this.
If you look at the more productive offenses in this league, they all have generally one thing in common....
Strong offensive lines...
We are extremely weak at offensive tackle right now, and quite frankly, have been that way for awhile.
To me, Yanda simply is not an NFL right tackle.
He can get by, but not ideal with his size.
He got the crap beat out of him by the higher quality defensive ends this year, and I don't see that changing much.
Lord only knows what Ogden is going to do, but even if he comes back (which I doubt), he is not a long term solution, and the drop off if he gets hurt is dramatic.
That basically leaves Terry who seems to do alright at LT, and Gaither with very little experience but could probably step in and play RT.
We have no depth after that.
We need a true pass rushing defnsive end!!
When Pryce went down, the entire defense changed dramatically.
Your secondarys best friend is the pass rush.
We got alot of tweener linebacker types, but not a great deal of depth at true defensive end.
With a pass rush, I think our secondary could survive if only one of our two starting DBs were to get hurt.
Running out guys that we ran out at the end of last year to start both sides was tragic, and we all saw it.
Not too often that both your starting DBs go down, so I'd roll the dice anticipating that you may only lose one.
McCallister rarely is injured.
With that being said, I'd still look for another quality DB for depth at minimum, but wouldn't make it the top priority.
QB is a priority, but I think if you fix up the O-line abit more you help out our current crop of QBs to be a little more successful.
I think you can grab a QB in the later rounds and still be successful if you pick the right guy.
Look at some of the teams that were in the post season, or were damn close this year, and who they have at QB, and where they were picked.
Tom Brady-5th round pick(obviously this doesn't happen very often, but it does happen)
Matt Hassleback-not sure where he was picked, but it wasn't real high IIRC.
Tony Romo-undrafted free agent.
Derrik Anderson-6th or 7th round.
That's enough examples right now I think, but they all have high quality offensive lines helping them be successful.
Now some of this will probably be fixed through free agency, but I don't think anymore then 1 or 2 spots at most.
The only way we take a QB at #8 is if it's Matt Ryan, and I doubt he'll be there, but one never knows.
I would definitely be looking to trade down and try and bilk some teams later first rounder and second round pick.
You can more then most likely get a QB like maybe Woodson or Dixon in the high second round or possibly a little later, and fill three holes we really need to fill with three picks in rounds 1 & 2.
With the later first round pick you get in a trade you can fill either the DE or OT spot, and fill the other with the second of 2 second round picks.
If we're lucky, we get a compensatory round 3 pick for one of the big three free agents we lost last year.
Fill in other needs with the later rounds and hope you hit on at least one which we seem to do fairly often.
I don't know, this is not my field of expertise, but it seems to work wonders for teams like the pats, cowboys, etc., and has proven to work well for s in past drafts.
Holding the #8 pick puts us in a good spot to do this if the right opportunity presents itself, and I would definitely go that way if it does.Will Die A Ravens Fan!!
Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
The more I hear, the more I think we'll end up with a DE in the first round.
We need a big body in the middle too, Buddy Lee isn't getting any younger.
And yes, an OT and a CB are priorities too.
And I may be in the minority, but I'd like to see someone brought in to push Landry at safety. A Corey Harris type who can lay the wood.
And a QB...oh, my.
Ozzie, you better have your draft shoes on, you're gonna need 'em!
Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
Come on people, the investment has been made on the OL... we can only get better there by lettign them play. Drafting a first round tackle not named LOng won't help us now. Terry is more then "alright" at LT, in fact he is significantly better there currently then Ogden. Yanda is simply NOT "Not an NFLTackle" He got blown up by Jason Tayor, one of the best DE's in the history of football, and last years DPOY... Did you watch the season before that game?
I love your list of late day QB's, care to share the list of the other 250 2nd day guys drafted during that time span? Round 6 QB's, which for some statistical anomoly come out very good. Abotu 1 in 5 will be successful, better then both the 4th and 5th rounds... and MUCH better then 7th and UDFA's... Romo didn't hit hte field for almost 4 years? We don't have that kind of time, we need to get better at the QB position, ASAP, and we need to hit on the guy. That to me is the new First day, or bust... IF we don't get one of the top handful of QB's i the draft we failed, MISERABLY.
Re: Ravens 08 draft: Your thoughts....
You certainly are entitled to your opinion as we all are, that's what this place is for.
Regarding Yanda, his reach is what is in question here.
Did he perform adequate in alot of games?
Certainly but when you get to the next level (post season) he's basically playing nothing but the upper tier defensive ends.
Quite frankly, you'll have to play several to even get to the post season.
So by your logic, having somebody who is OK against a good deal of the league is OK, but having a key position on the O-line struggle protecting your QB against upper tier DEs is acceptable.
And now you want to put a first round pick behind that?
The QB position is by far probably the toughest to pick and hit.
I gave a few examples of guys picked in later rounds that have done well.
Nowhere did I say they are sure things in the latter stages of the draft as most are not.
You seem to think that we have to take a projected top tier QB in the early first round or this draft will be a failure.
Maybe you should go back and review how successful those picks have been.
You can start with one that's currently on our roster.
The fact remains that the majority of QBs picked in the draft don't pan out the way they are projected for a variety of reasons, but you want to blow the cap on a high first round QB pick simply because he's projected as being a first rounder that will do well.
Hell, alot of drafts none of the top QBs picked pan out at all.
Regardless of where they take one if they do at all, he won't see the field in any meaningful playing time until the earliest being 2009.
Exactly how long is your time line to reach success with your comment "We don't have that kind of time"?
The game is won in the trenches, and those soldiers need to be able to take on all battles in order for just about any QB to have success.
Yup, let's take a day one cap busting QB, put him back there and watch him get his brains busted out because our RT can't handle the elite pass rushers but is Ok with everybody else.
Been there, done that already for too many years.Will Die A Ravens Fan!!

"Exactly what we were looking for in an invitation. Just as nice as anything we would have done in person at an invitation store custom made. Quality of product was excellent and surpassed our expectations. Came exactly on time and appreciated the service from the team of designers at Tiny Prints. They offered colour suggestions for the font to be adjusted and gave me the options to review colour digital versions free of charge. We are over the moon about what arrived and will definitely be our go to place for future events. The cost was also so reasonable for all the items we purchased. Could not have been any easier and received a beautiful invitation we are proud to use for our event."
"This card is colorful, fun and was the perfect selection for my son's Bar Mitzvah. We printed the reception information on the back of the card with a green background. We received many compliments as everything thought it was so beautiful and youthful looking. The paper quality was excellent without upgrading."
"Just the colors we were looking for. Most Bat Mitzvah invitations we found were not nearly as lovely and elegant. One company refused to provide a sample 1st!. Customer service helped us set our text which was too large for us to work with the space given. Very helpful and they even offered to change the color of the labels we chose to match exactly. We didn't even ask! Would highly recommend and would certainly order again in the future."
"We loved this card! The tiny Stars of David are a beautiful touch. We centered the text, however, and used all green writing, which we preferred. The matching RSVP card looked perfect with it, as did the light green address labels recommended to match."
"Easy to personalize. Paper quality is great and the colors are bold. Exactly what we were looking for in a Bat Mitzvah invitation!"

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thank you for the help. I do have a service manual for this car and you are right on with your timing of 5 degrees. I will do some more looking.
The car smokes a lot on start -up, and acceleration, so the plugs are not in the best environment. We are going to look at valve stem seals first, then go from there. I hope we can stop the oil consumption, else wise all the tuning and tweaking will take a back seat to fouled plugs and gas highly mixing with oil for combustion. Thanks again.
If one wire was bad, there may be more, but they aren't showing up until power is applied. If it were mine, I would do a complete tune up, points condenser, plugs, wires, and have the coil checked. The timing should be set at the first slot, which is 5 degrees BTC. Centrifical advance should be 24 degrees, at the crank, at 2200 rpm, and maximum vacuum advance should be 24 degrees (crank) at 13-16 inches of manifold vacuum. I hope this gets you going.
1958 Olds 371 Timing and Vacuum Advance question
I have a 1958 Olds with a 371 2 barrel. When I got it it had a dead cylinder, low on oil, and vacuum problems. I fixed most of that, but it still wants to struggle when sitting still and in gear. In park or neutral, it almost feels and sounds normal, but the extra load makes it shake when you put it in drive. When I fixed the dead cylinder (plug wire), I thought it might shape up. It obviously helped a lot, but I am still looking for more. I am not a mechanic, and I'm finding it hard to find too many guys in my area that are interested in doing much looking at it. I actually had a couple of locals do a little tweaking, and neither found the plug wire, so as I said, I don't think their "hearts" were in it.
My question is, I was reading an older post on here about timing, vacuum advance, ported vacuum, and manifold vacuum. The guy that had this before me did some jerry-rigging on a lot of stuff, and the current set-up uses ported vacuum. However, I discovered yesterday that the old vacuum advance can is bad anyway, and have ordered a replacement. I would like some more expert opinions on the subject of getting this correct. I plan on trying to set the timing again, vacuum advance disconnected, and then reconnecting it to the best source. Some of the guys said that manifold vacuum really gave them a boost, but I would like to hear some more about it. I realize there could be more issues, such as compression, rings, valve issues etc., but I would like to at least give it the benefit of the doubt and do what I can first to see if I could get it to be a daily driver.
Thanks to anyone who might have an idea or two.

(P)1995 by The Audio Partners Publishing Corp.
"Russell is one of our time's brilliant spokesmen of rationality and humanity, a fearless champion of free speech and free thought." (The Swedish Academy, on awarding Bertrand Russell the Nobel Prize for Literature, 1950)
"Excellent Logic"
I'll be brief. Mr. Russell is brilliant and engaging. This is clear headed logic at it's best....what a great respite from status quo insanity.
"Inspiring and provacative"
Russell lived and died long before I was on this earth, but I feel so close to him in philosophy after listening to his essays. He articulates what I have thought and felt since abandoning christianity, and theism in general. I can listen to Russell over and over.
"A brilliant breath of fresh sense!"
Accessible, rational, interesting. Russell is the most insightful and sensible author I've come across. I desperately wish we could get more of him in audio form.
"An Amazing Recording"
Bertrand Russell, a true defender of reason and a writer of the highest caliber. What a wonderful privilege to be able to consume his thoughts in this way. A sheer delight!
"Clarity, clarity, clarity"
This recording covers works that are 90-50 years old. Amazing and dead on point for our modern "faith based" everything.
Highly reccomended
"Ahead of his time"
I'm glad to think that Bertrand Russell lived until 1970 and therefore long enough to see some of the liberal reforms for which he argued, come to fruition. In these essays from the early part of the 20th Century, he is too coy even to use the word 'homosexuality', but makes oblique references as he argues for greater tolerance. In a way, these essays have dated because our society has (thankfully) moved on so much. In his day he would have been dynamite!

Arsenal Ladies Football Club is delighted to announce the arrival of two new players to further strengthen the team.
Joining the Ladies, who won the Domestic Treble last season, will be English International Corrine Yorston (26) as well as Scottish defender Jennifer Beattie (18).
For the past three seasons Yorston has captained Bristol Academy as well as making a significant impact with the England squad, being selected as one of the 17 England players to receive a Central Contract with the FA. A versatile left footed player who can play in defence or midfield, Corrine prefers to be situation in left-back.
Beattie will be joining Arsenal from Celtic Ladies who are currently at the top of the Scottish Women's Premier League. After demonstrating her skill and attacking instincts while at Celtic Jennifer has also proved to be an influential player for her country where she is part of their A squad. In just ten appearances for Scotland, Beattie has scored twice from her defensive position.
Newly appointed Arsenal Ladies manager, Tony Gervaise, said; "We are extremely pleased to find both Corrine and Jennifer and have them join Arsenal Ladies. Both players will be coming to us with a vast amount of experience developed at both Club and international level and will make a valuable impact within our current squad.
"To continue the success of the Arsenal Ladies over the past 22 years we must ensure we also develop our squad and our players to the highest level possible."
Arsenal would like to welcome both Corrine and Jennifer to the Arsenal Ladies, and we all look forward to watching them over the coming season.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Well, I finally received my rotary tool from Ebay and decided to make my first set of sheet metal armor.
It has been cut out, ground smooth and sanded and the next step is to throw on a coat of primer. Believe it or not but this morning it was two cast away 5 gallon paint cans rescued from the dumpster at work.
I guess the big advantage of sheet metal armor is that weathering can actually show through to the actual metal.
Now I just need a helmet... [sigh]

|Saturday, October 26, 2013
|1:00 pm – 2:30 pm
|Invisible Bee Yoga, Minneapolis
In this workshop, registered nurse Ann Christenson teaches restorative yoga. This style of yoga improves circulation, reduces stress and improves overall health. It is being actively studied in medicine and the effects are proving to be profound.
About Ann: Ann has been a Registered Nurse for 20 years with the last 11 years of practice in palliative care. As Ann's focus evolved in nursing care, she discovered yoga and realized the strong link between the care she provides as a nurse and the care she could provide on the mat as a yoga teacher. In 2010, she graduated from the 230 hour certified yoga teacher training program at the Yoga Center of Minneapolis and is currently completing her Advanced 500 hour training also at the Yoga Center of Minneapolis.
