Springfield, Ohio — When a couple of Wittenberg University alumni had a discussion about raising money for their alma mater's tennis program, the discussion veered to basketball and plans to host an unprecedented exhibition game on campus.
What at first seemed like an unlikely connection turned out to be a winning scenario for the university, the men's and women's tennis programs, and the Springfield community. Bill Barrett, class of 1967 and a senior vice president for the Harlem Globetrotters, worked with Wendell Lutz, class of 1966 and a member of Wittenberg's Board of Directors, to bring the famed Globetrotters to Springfield for a show on Jan. 29 in Pam Evans Smith Arena.
The Globetrotters have been entertaining crowds since 1927, playing more than 20,000 exhibition games, but they had never brought their unique combination of showmanship and basketball brilliance to Springfield. That all changed thanks to Barrett and Lutz, both of whom were varsity men's tennis players during their collegiate career, and Wittenberg Director of Athletics and Recreation Garnett Purnell, who worked tirelessly to promote the event, which attracted a crowd of more than 2,200 fans.
A portion of the ticket sale proceeds will go to maintain Wittenberg University's David B. & Georgiana Albright Tennis Complex. The courts were resurfaced in August 2012 thanks to donations by Lutz and another former Tiger tennis standout, Mike Senich, class of 1972 and also a member of the Board of Directors. They also worked together to secure financial commitments from other Wittenberg tennis alumni.
In addition, a portion of the concession sales proceeds will be used to pay for the tennis teams' annual Spring Break trip to Hilton Head, SC. Current student-athletes worked in the concession stand and performed other duties throughout the evening.
Wittenberg's connection to the Globetrotters doesn't end with Barrett, and the large crowd assembled was treated to the opportunity to salute one of its own at halftime of the game as Tony Wilcox, class of 1960, was recognized at mid-court. A member of the Globetrotters for four years after completing his Wittenberg Athletics Hall of Honor career, Wilcox was warmly greeted by current members of the team before posing for photos.
The show was captured on film by University Photographer Erin Pence and on video by members of the Integrated Media Corps (IMC), an internship program that offers students the chance to hone a variety of skills in communications, public relations and multimedia. Kristi Burkitt, class of 2013 from Hilliard, Ohio, recorded footage from the show and created a highlight video, while Tyson Agler, class of 2014 from Napoleon, Ohio, and Charidy Murphy, class of 2013 from Springfield, Ohio, recorded interviews, including one with Wilcox.

|Ithaca College Teams Up for the Adirondack Cup
|A team of Ithaca College investors will be among nearly 20 colleges and universities competing in the inaugural Adirondack Cup.
Call it an intercollegiate investing event, with alumni rooting for their schools.
A team of Ithaca College investors will be among nearly 20 colleges and universities competing in the inaugural Adirondack Cup. Students will create hypothetical small cap portfolios and aim for the best return over six months.
The competition began with the opening of trading Oct. 17. Adirondack Research and Management Inc., which runs the Adirondack Small Cap Fund (ADKSX), is overseeing the Adirondack Cup.
Ithaca graduate Steve Gonick '85, executive vice president and chief marketing officer of ARMI, explains the company has a strong commitment to college interns and views the Adirondack Cup as a logical next step in its involvement with business students.
"Many of our clients need interns and have expressed an interest in reconnecting with their schools," Gonick said. "So we offer our clients an opportunity to 'hook up' with their old school and their team, perhaps offering advice from their vantage point in the financial world and, hopefully, opening up their contact lists to the students as well."
Each team must have between three and 10 members.
Teams will create a hypothetical $1 million portfolio invested in five small cap stocks traded on one of the two major U.S. exchanges. Each stock selected must be from a different sector (technology, healthcare, consumer goods, conglomerates, industrial goods, basic materials, services, financial or utilities).
At the time of investment, each holding must be at least 5 percent of the portfolio but cannot exceed 50 percent. Teams can make changes in the portfolio twice during the six months.
The Adirondack Cup project manager is Ithaca graduate Matt Dibble '11, serving as a consultant to Gonick. He's working with deans and professors at the participating schools.
"The purpose of the competition is to provide students with real-world experience that will enable them to apply knowledge learned in the classroom, such as fundamental and technical research techniques and portfolio management," said Dibble, a business administration major who concentrated in finance and marketing.
Each team will choose a leader to run team meetings and communicate with ARMI. Alex Gifford '12 helped set up IC's team and Mike Severo '12 is IC team leader.
"The Adirondack Cup aims to help the students build a strong network of contacts among participants, alumni and the Adirondack Small Cap Fund managers," Dibble continued. Students will showcase their equity allocation skills during the competition and will attend a networking night at the Adirondack office in Guilderland when the competition concludes.
The winning team will receive the Adirondack Cup.
Gonick points to three characteristics of the competition that reflect ARMI's core beliefs:
- It focuses on smaller companies.
- It encourages a buy-and-hold strategy that requires students to research each equity.
- It requires a portfolio diversified among economic sectors. Students will have to acquaint themselves with the entire economy, not just one piece.
"We hope this provides a better learning opportunity," said Gonick, who joined ARMI in 2009 after 12 years as an executive sales representative at Johnson & Johnson and Bristol-Myers Squibb. He received his degree from IC in personnel and industrial relations.
ARMI's interns each year include students from many colleges, including Ithaca. ARMI matches the interns' tasks to what they are doing in school so they can use the outcome to further their careers, said Gonick.
After Gifford was offered an ARMI internship last summer, Gonick redirected him to a colleague at Empire Asset Management Group. His project there analyzed high dividend yielding stocks and drew conclusions on future dividends and stock price movements.
"I was able to learn about this longer-term style of passive investing that has changed my ways of thinking about my own investing strategies and about the market as a whole," said Gifford, a business administration major concentrating in finance and management with a minor in economics.
ARMI is "committed to helping our interns find jobs in this challenging economy, and we open up our contact lists and teach them how to network," Gonick said. "We feel it is good business and the least we can do in this tough economy."
Dibble appreciates the value of networking, as he leaned of ARMI at a networking night at its office and met Gonick. That encounter led to his consulting role.
"I'm confident that the experience will make me much more visible and marketable to other employers once this job is completed," Dibble said. "t's Adirondack's hope that other students will have a similar experience and success."
ARMI will update Adirondack Cup results weekly on its website, http://www.adirondackfunds.com/adirondackCup.html.

I know this was discussed recently and I've read the posts,...but..
I am thinking of switching from a Whisker Biscuit to a drop-rest. I know that there are lots of them available
but I am on a budget..sort of (what the wife doesn't know won't hurt !)
What do you all think of the Trophy Taker Micro-adjust vs the Octane Trip Wire ??
Cost difference is about $30 and I am inclined to go with the cheaper one.
Thanks !

Toni Braxton
Though her marriage lasted a long time, especially for a celebrity, Toni Braxton is now officially divorced from Keri Lewis.
Married in 1998, the couple separated in 2009 and the "Unbreak My Heart" singer told VH1, "I had to figure out a plan for my life that had nothing to do with him. I was angry with everybody. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I felt that I was a person dealing with a lot of struggles and here comes another one."
Giving her soulful R&B voice a rest, Toni Braxton announced that she will be retiring from music on Friday (February 8).
During a visit to "Good Morning America," the "Un-Break My Heart" singer lamented, "It's not affecting me, making me feel that thing I've always felt when I perform. It's leaving me. I'm not sure what's going on in my life. Maybe a female mid-life crisis? My heart isn't in it anymore. I hate to say that."
After revealing her battle with Lupus last year, Toni Braxton has landed in the hospital again because of the autoimmune disorder.
The "Un-Break My Heart" singer tweeted on Friday, "Hey guys, I'm in the hospital for health issues related to Lupus & Blood clots, I will be home soon...Thanks for all the love&support! Xoxo."
Among the many parties taking place leading up to Sunday's Academy Awards, The Hollywood Reporter held its 'Nominees' Night 2012' in Los Angeles, California on Thursday night (February 23).
Bringing her beauty to the Getty House venue was Oscar hopeful Jessica Chastain, who's in the running for Actress in a Supporting Role honors for her work in "The Help".
Looking as if she made the all too common mistake of outspending her earnings for the second time, Toni Braxton has once again filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Having previous bailed on her debts back in 2008, the 43-year-old singer is seeking bankruptcy approval while currently claiming to owe anywhere from $10-50 million.
You'd think with all their money and power that celebrities would pay their bills. But for Toni Braxton, a bad check is costing her time and money.
A wardrobe and costume designer is taking the songstress to court after she allegedly wrote him a bad check for $15,000 for work on a Las Vegas show.
In the midst of his new movie, Hairspray, hitting theaters, John Travolta is fielding press for another very different reason. It seems the actor, 53, is in denial about his son's disability.
Reportedly, Travolta and his wife, Kellly Preston, 44, are interested in having another child. The problem is that the Saturday Night Fever star won't face the fact that his 15-year-old son Jett is autistic. When interviewing the star, one journalist observed, "Travolta sits there in interviews talking about how Jett loves to read or play sports, but it is clear that the boy can barely do either."
Everyone out there knew that the NBA All-Star game and Las Vegas could make for a good time. It has been announced that there will be musical festivities of the highest order at the event.
Crooner Wayne Newton will serenade fans with Viva Las Vegas and a contemporary version of Danke Schoen as players are introduced at the NBA All-Star Game on Feb. 18, the league announced.
Mr. Las Vegas will perform for roughly seven minutes before the game. And it doesn't stop there.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
At the end of this month it will be 3 years since I started We Make Zines. I would love to hear any stories you all have about how WMZ has helped you connect with someone (or something) special.
Did you find a long lost pen pal on We Make Zines?
Did you meet your bff here?
Did you find a zine you've been looking for forever here?
Did you find people doing zines right in your town?
Did you start a group or event with people you met here?
I love being able to connect people. I suspect there has been some of that on WMZ in the last year. So, please indulge my ego a bit here and let me hear any stories you have of finding a great connection on WMZ. Thanks!
Views: 1367
I was relunctant to participate on other social network sites(myspace/facebook) for various reasons--even though pages were made for me without my consent. So the participation I had with them was getting my friends to leave my po box (that i've had since 1991 and just renewed for a year) for people to write to me the old way. At first I did the same tactic with We Make Zines, and I got atleast one instant response--finding a new penpal in Wisconsin who writes me these elaborate imaginative funny letters. I've written a few other people i've found in WMZ and would do more, but it would seem that people prefer to communicate thru a computer. I'd rather not spend the time on a computer or encourage other people to do so--than say doing things in the world. Yet I find a lot of potential in We Make Zines, there's a lot of good ideas. I'm glad you have a call out for ZineWiki stories as well, since that is one of the other sites I will check up on and contribute to. I appreciate the photos of recent zines and often will visit the site just for that.
I'll probably have a better story for the fourth year.
Redguard/Greg Butterfield invited me to WMZ, so after some hesitation and I think encouragement from Heath Row, I decided to give it a go. I have no idea why Greg invited me and I asked him if we'd ever "met" in a personal note I sent to him with a zine, but he never got back to me. Our politics are obviously very different. I'm just mentioning this for what it's worth, and I hope Greg's not offended.
I can't say I haven't made some pretty good contacts & friends on WMZ and I appreciate them, but I think my snail mail contacts are much more numerous, by say, maybe 3, 4 to 1. Of course I'm not sure, I haven't actually counted. As I think I wrote in my .Zap!!omania, I really think the papernet and internet are different cultures. The people who prefer one to the other have very different personalities.
I have my snail mail address on my WMZ page, but in the last, how many, 3, 4 years?, I don't think I've gotten more than a couple "out of the blue" trades, letters or inquiries in my POB from it. Or from my "new issue announcements". I'm not whining about that, just telling it like it is. (I also put my POB on facebook, but nobody's written me from that, either.)
I've started a "no e-mail" trade group and a few people of joined---which I much appreciate---but very few. I even send zines to everyone on that group, but it's been months, and no reply.
Samantha Blythe started Libertarian Zinesters and I think we're the only two members. I sent Samantha a few zines, but she never got back to me. I don't know if she left the group because of the anti-Christian climate of the neo-zine scene, whether she thought I was too unChristian/heathen for her, or she just lost interest. I thought a dialogue might've been interesting, but I get the impression frank & intelligent dialogue isn't much liked in the new zine scene.
In fact, I generally don't like to bring them up, I've contact at least half a dozen people responding to their call for submission or expressing a zine they were all enthusiastic about writing, but with no follow up at all.
I was thinking of posting on the "Old Zines You Wish You Could Find" thread, but I couldn't find it. (I suppose I have the title wrong.) I've written queries on my blog. No interest at all. (One problem with the blogs and posting on them, to my knowledge, if new comments come up, they don't come to the top, like the discussion forum.)
I do drop in now and then to see if there's an interesting discussion or blog post, but don't stay long. I'd really rather discuss these in zines &/or APA's anyway.
Hope I haven't seemed too negative & whiny, Krissy. I appreciate your efforts and I do find WMZ useful. I value having a blog I can link to for people who prefer the Net. Structurally, in layout & design, WMZ is A LOT easier to navigate, look at, and use that Facebook.
Again, I think it's personality/cultural issue. I'm part of a sub-genre of amateur publishing that most WMZers aren't really into. But I've been accumulating a lot of contacts through the snail mail that's put plenty on my plate right now, so I'm okay with that.
Hope you get more feedback.
I've definitely found a love of letter writing through WMZ. A handful of the people I trade with, I make an effort to write to frequently, even when it's not to trade zines. It's really great considering I didn't really write letters (or think about writing letters) much before becoming active on WMZ.
It's not the most amazing or thrilling story, but a story nevertheless. And one I like to tell. :)
Just got invited to this thing, and so far (roughly half an hour) I'm impressed with the concept, the layout, the ease of use. I'm about a 2 or 3 out of 10 on the scale of internet-literacy but yeah, it's cool, what am I trying to say? Just, I guess, looking forward to exploring the site. Peace!
ive certainly discovered new zines from WMZ including James N Dawson and Neilzine and it did give me a burst of energy again after many years being lazy and feeling my age :D ... so all in all it has been a positive thing, though i have to agree with James on the difference 'tween internerds and paper nerds... i like mail (but i have to admit im just as guilty at times of not writing/replying) but it is frustrating to sometimes not even get a message acknowledgement that yr zine has reached someone... but what the hell, its still a great idea and i have found zines i prob would have missed so all in all its a good thing...
When I started LVZL a year and a half ago, I reached out to people on WMZ for submissions. I watched the forums for awhile, read some amusing discussions and then it happened. A box of zines? For the cost of shipping?! Mind you at this time the LVZL pretty much consisted of my personal collection, a guy who unloaded his MMR's on us and an order I had just gotten from Microcosm. Totaling around 120 zines, which when you put them in protector slips on a shelf- don't look like much! I pounced on the offer and recieved in the mail shortly after this big ol box FULL of zines from Billy the Bunny. It really filled out the shelves which in turn made more locals take notice and dig around in their collections (Vegas had some pretty rad zines/zinesters in its day!) to donate. Connecting with WMZ has brought a pretty consistent stream of zines into the library from all over the world and has helped us grow from 120 zines to, at last count, 800! It has also helped me connect with touring zinesters like the Zines on Toast crew and Billy who donated those zines and threw the first ABQ this year was in town and we got to hang out! I get surprise notes in the zine drop box from folks who heard about the LVZL and brought their zines with them to donate while on vacation! WMZ has been great for Las vEgas' tiny corner of zine culture and helped build a home for printed word lovers who come to town :) So thank you to everyone who has submitted to the library (I have all the addresses saved and WILL send out postcards with a thanks as soon as I find the money!) and thank you Krissy for WMZ! -Jeff @LVZL
Great story, Jeff. Good work on the library! Thanks!
I've met one of my closest friends on here. What started with a simple zine trade turned into thousands of emails, phone calls and letters.

Help with my DIY ADA style stand
Okay so I'm trying to build an ADA style stand for my 45-P so only roughly 10 gallons. I don't mind overbuilding because it gives me piece of mind. Tank is 18 x 10.5 inches. I want to build an ADA style stand and have tried researching every possibly thread for weeks but still am confused since I'm not a woodworker by any means. I build some basic frame type stands out of 2x2's for a 10 gallon in my garage I didn't care about. It seemed to have held pretty well but wasn't good looking since it was just a basic frame. Well I want this to be a nice ADA style cabinet for inside my living room. I don't want the formica, I'm probably just going to paint or stain it to save money and just to make it easier for me.
I've looked at tons of threads and even jB's article on his site. But I'm trying to figure out what to do for my smaller tank but I still want it to be very strong. Any ideas? Here is my idea, I just don't know if this would even work or be strong. Warning, I don't have many tools. Mainly a drill, screwdrivers, wrenches, hammer, woodglue, the basics.
My idea was just getting two sheets of 3/4" plywood. Using it to make two sides, a back, bottom, top and that front skinny panel above the door that you see on the ADA style stands. Then I would basically join each panel together with glue and then screw a couple screws in at each edge where the panels meet to hold it together while the glue dries. Then eventually cut a door and install hinges and mount the door. So basically though, it is just a box like stand made from 3/4" plywood. No frame or anything using 2x2 or 2x4. Is that safe, would that even work? Would that just break? Should I also add metal L-brace type things to every corner inside the cabinet to make sure it doesn't move? Like I said, overkill is okay with me.
I have no clue as to what to do but I know I want to start soon because I want this tank setup! Lol
Please help out a non-woodworker figure out how to work with wood.
That is the basic design of almost all commercial stands, including those for the ADA tanks. It is extremely strong, and for small tanks you can even use 1/2 inch plywood. (I prefer using medium density fiberboard - MDF - but many people believe that is a bad idea.)
Yeah I know nothing about fancy joint work with wood so I figured everything would just be butt joints with glue and screws at the joints. Then maybe use those metal L brackets for extra support? I'll use 3/4" wood because I don't mind overkill. Any suggestions as to something I should do in addition to this?
I recently built a spec ADA stand for a 90-H. 3/4" plyboard is plenty strong for your application. If I were ever going to build another ADA stand I would be tempted to use MDF. Finding plywood (even furniture grade) that isn't warped to some degree is damn hard. And even if it isn't warped at the time of purchase that doesn't guarantee that it won't get that way. Getting straight cuts with slightly warped plywood is a PITA! Bottom line, decent cabinet or furniture grade plywood is more than enough for the size stand that you are proposing to build.
I haven't built it yet but any good ideas on painting the stand and waterproofing it. I was thinking on sealing all the seams on the inside with something. For paint, I don't know. I'm thinking either the ADA type grey or possibly just black. But I want to paint to look really nice. I'm guessing primer first and then multiple coats of paint, any certain kinds? Should I waterproof after painting and how?
Also any recommendations on the build, feel free to always add to that as well.
Wood will never be completely waterproof, but it doesn't need to be either. Just paint is all the water resistance you need. The type of paint isn't that important either, use the one that you can apply very uniformly, for the best looking job.
I don't think you'd need to add any bracing/brackets, unless you are using them as an assembly aid.
Even just using but joints, it should be plenty strong enough considering the length of the joint.
Building a stand like that is basically just a box made out of plywood, it's relatively simple, and pretty strong. If you use 3/4", your stand is going to be built like a bunker (nothing wrong with that :) ). I think 1/2" would be plenty thick enough for that size stand/tank, but it might be easier to use 3/4", as it would give you a little more lee way when putting the screws in.
I'd also suggest looking at something like cabinet grade plywood, it's usually smoother, straighter, and will be easier to work with and less effort to get a nice finish.
If you plan on doing any other wood work/stand building in the future, I'd suggest looking into a pocket-hole jig. I had used one from a local tool-lending library (great idea, more cities should have them), and found it incredibly useful, especially for keeping the screws out of sight. I ended up buying the ~40 kreg version, and have been pretty happy with it.
Otherwise, you can just countersink the screws, add plugs, and sand them down, and it shouldn't be visible after the painting.
As to the finish, I also think just paint will be fine, and don't see much point to sealing the inside of the stand. Just sand the stand pretty good before painting, especially the joints/plugs, and some filler or something to plug any gaps/cracks/voids, use a primer, and follow the instructions on the paint can.
Thanks Hoppy for all the info. Thank you cobra as well. And also thanks lochaber for the informative post!
Fully understanding you have minimal woodworking skills what tools do you own or have access to? Those that you own or have access to how good are you with them? For example if you're familiar with a router I can tell you how to build it with absolutely no screws yet you could pick up the stand before you ever glue it and when you do glue it it's self squaring and strong.. And it's really simple to do.
If you want a really slick surface from paint first sand the wood to 220. Put on a coat of primer and sand it A color coat and sand it. Another color coat and sand it. Last color coat and use 800+ grit sandpaper and sand it using wax as lubricant. Any car wax is fine.
You're welcome. Paint-wise we really need to know what the building material is going to be to give you a solid answer. FYI, if you use 3/4" wood (MDF or plywood), leave the 2x4 boards out of the construction. They are unnecessary and will take up valuable real estate inside the stand itself.
If you paint plywood be prepared for a lot of prep work (not talking sanding here). Many coats of sealer are needed to not have the grain show through the primer/paint. Assuming you want a smooth uniform finish.
Have Fun!

Vito Mannone has hailed Arsenal's collective character after they rescued a point at Manchester City on Sunday with a late Laurent Koscielny goal.
Despite a highly-encouraging performance, Arsène Wenger's side appeared to be heading for their first defeat of the season after Joleon Lescott gave the hosts the lead in the first half.
But Koscielny's 82nd-minute strike earned a well-deserved draw and Mannone believes their comeback bodes well for a possible title charge this season.
"You need to show your character and show that you are ready for the big games," the Italian told Arsenal Player.
"Every team is difficult because there is not such a difference between sides [in the Premier League]. You need to perform well every week and get as many points as you can.
"We did all we could do to put pressure on them. It shows great character to come back, especially against the champions."
Mannone was disappointed with his part in Lescott's goal, but went on to make vital stops to keep out Sergio Aguero and Vincent Kompany in the closing stages.
"I was not happy with the goal obviously but I came back stronger with some saves," he said.
"The team performed really well and everyone gave everything to come back and get a point. Every save that can help the team, I am really happy with."

Product Reference: 27020
Allows you to use your existing dock without taking your device out of the case
With the minimalist design aesthetic popularised by Apple, most docks can't be used with a case on your iPhone - either the phone becomes too wide or the dock connector will no longer reach/fit. Almost no docks will work with the iPad. However, with a dock extender cable, these become problems of the past. By plugging one end into your device and the other onto the dock, you can utilise all the additional functionality without having to take your case off. Your options for docking your iPad become considerably greater.
Works as an extension cable for charging and synchronisation
Not only can you use the cable to extend the reach of your docks, you can use it to extend your existing sync and charge cable. With a length of approximately 1 metre, you can charge your phone further from the socket or computer, or position your in-car holder further from the cigarette lighter, without any loss of charging speed.
Designed to work with most cases and docks
By following the same design rules Apple used when making the official cable, the dock extender fits in the same sized gaps. This means it will work with most cases, and its minimalist style means it will fit most docks with ease.

"Glamping" is a term referred to as glamorous camping. Why would we associate this with weddings? For those couples who think that the average wedding lasts 5-6 hours–think again–weddings are turning into weekend-long events more than ever these days. Couples want their closest family and friends to stay with them to create lasting memories and kick off the start of their marriage. Think about having an outdoor reception, luxury tents for your guests to stay in and lots of food and games to keep the entertainment going all weekend. Here's some ways you can add a few glamorous touches to your wedding:
1. Add a lounge area or two for your guests.

2. Have lawn games such as: croquet, bocce, horsehoes, cornhole and ring toss.

3. Rent or purchase chandeliers, drape white lights or hang paper lanterns to add lighting to your outdoor reception.

Signs and symptoms of an intracranial hematoma may be evident right after a blow to your head, or they may take several weeks or longer to appear. You may seem fine after a head injury, a period called the lucid interval. However, with time, pressure on your brain increases, producing some or all of the following signs and symptoms:
As more blood fills your brain or the narrow space between your brain and skull, other signs and symptoms may become apparent, such as:
An intracranial hematoma can be life-threatening. Emergency medical treatment often is necessary.
Seek immediate medical attention after a blow to the head if:
Signs and symptoms of intracranial hematoma may not be immediately apparent, so watch for subsequent physical, mental and emotional changes. For example, if someone seems fine after a blow to the head and can talk but then becomes unconscious, seek immediate medical care.
Also, even if you feel fine, ask someone to keep an eye on you. You may have memory loss after a blow to your head, so you may forget about it eventually. Someone you tell may be more likely to recognize the warning signs and get you prompt medical attention.

I had a HK USPc 9mm... Wayy to big to carry. Traded it for a glock 27.
Those Glocks don't look so big but they are. My G27 can sometimes be alot to carry. Hence why Im getting a BG380 for pocket carry. Wanna enjoy my time out and about instead of having that glock grip against my stomach. I have a good desantis leather holster with it that makes it pretty comfortable, carrying a gun like the G27 or any other subcompact feel good once you get used to it.
Good luck carrying a G23. Many pull it off (hell sometimes I carry my brother G19 which is the same gun as the G23) but I highly recommend you at least go down to the 27 if you intend on carrying a big gun. The 27 is bigg enough trust me... Comfortable carry insures you carry all the time! I'm still going to carry my G27 around thats why I recommend it to you. But my LCP is going to be with me where my G27 cant go.

Some of the biggest names in the music industry have been arriving at the 02 Arena in London for tonight's Brit Awards.
Rock band Muse will open the ceremony following their gig earlier this week in aid of War Child, the charity which provides relief for children caught up in the world's worst conflicts, set to be honoured at tonight's Brits.
Other scheduled performers include One Direction, Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, and Robbie Williams.

Organisers have suggested they will make it up to Adele after her acceptance speech was cut short at last year's awards. The singer expressed her dismay as she was interrupted by host James Corden by giving the finger.
Brit Awards chairman David Joseph told the Guardian: "I very much to this day question what was happening in that control booth. I can hint something is going to happen this year to rewrite that wrong."
However it is unclear what they have planned for the "Skyfall" singer who is currently in LA ahead of Sunday night's Oscars where she will perform.
She is hotly tipped to take the gong for Best British Single for her James Bond theme tune.
Another favourite is Scottish singer Emeli Sandé for Best British Album and Female for Our Version of Events which was the only 2012 release to sell more than one million copies.
Folksters Mumford & Sons are also bookies' favourite to win Best British Group following their success in both the UK and American charts with second album, Babel.
Both Mumford & Sons, Sandé and Mercury Prize-winning band Alt-J have been nominated three times.
Fresh from their performances at the 02 last year the Rolling Stones are up for best live act against Coldplay, Mumford & Sons, Muse and The Vaccines.
Mitch Winehouse, father of late soul singer Amy Winehouse, arrived at tonight's event wearing a waistcoat emblazoned with his daughter's face.
Winehouse was nominated posthumously in the Best British Female category.
In response to the massive global success of British artists One Direction, Mumford & Sons and Adele this year organisers have added a new category recognising overseas domination.
Fans gathered despite the bitter cold to cheer red carpet arrivals.

Ever since I updated my Nook I have been having trouble connecting to my home wireless. I deregistered and reregistered and I have no trouble connecting to the public network at my work. It keeps saying obtaining IP address, then disables. Does anyone else have this problem?
Had this exact same problem, starting on Monday morning after I downloaded and installed the update.
There was no fix for mine. I live in a very rural area and the only way I could test connectivity with other routers was going over to my neighbor's home, and it didn't connect to his either.
It wouldn't reconnect when I changed my router settings, setting them to 'open'.. no password, etc., etc. I basically tried everything and it would not reconnect AFTER the update. I've had arguments with people on the board who told me, over and over again, it had nothing to do with the update. HA! Evidently, these people can't put "two and two together" like the rest of us can.
In any event... I made the unfortunate decision to follow BN's tech's advise and do a hard reset which caused my NC to become completely useless. So BN sent me a new-refurbished one. I refuse to allow that one to update, although I think at this time, BN is not sending out updates.
I''m not sure about that but since this problem, and others, exist... all which are related to the update (sorry BN apologists and groupies... but it's TRUE!), BN would be smart NOT to try updating any more NCs at this time.
Also, Shermc... check further down these boards and you'll see that hundreds of people have this exact same problem. People that have reported that problem here, which means, no doubt... based on statistics, that THOUSANDS of people have this same problem, those who have not come here to ... voice their concerns.

I had the same problem, solved it by buying a new wireless router.
My guess is that the new name of the NC was too long for my old router to handle.
Don't like the answer myself but it's finally connected again
7. Re: wifi home connectiontbushman Apr 30, 2011 2:10 PM (in response to Shermc)
I'm having the same problem. Updated the NookColor last night to 1.2 from 1.1.0. Right after the update I have not been able to connect to my wi-fi. when the Nook tries to connect all internet access is interupted, computer and other wi-fi devices and the Nook still doesn't connect. I didn't have any problems before the update. I've restarted the Nook and still doesn't work. Buying a new router is a rediculous solution, Barnes and Noble needs to fix their software.
8. Re: wifi home connectiontbushman May 1, 2011 10:03 PM (in response to tbushman)
I emailed BN about the problem and this was their response, it worked so hopefully anyone reading this with the same problem can fix theirs too:
Based on the problem you describe, we recommend that you refresh your NOOK Color using other Wi-Fi connection.
You can register and unregister your NOOK Color from anywhere that you have a Wi-Fi hotspot that your NOOK Color can use.

You can now re-register your NOOK Color by following the same steps you used when you first set up your device.

"The cards i ordered are absolutely perfect, i could never have asked for anything more. these cards blew my mind because i was not expecting such high quality, i will forever be a customer, Thank you so much for such prompt service and quick delivery. did i mention delivery was 1 week earlier than expected, and from the date i ordered to delivery it was 5 days total"
"My husband and I ordered these cards after we got married as "personal cards" vs. business cards. They were handy to give to pet sitters, neighbors, family, church folks...anyone we meet who we want to easily provide with our contact info. Fast forward 4 years and we've moved so we ordered new ones in the exact same design but with an updated photo and address. Every we hand these to someone they say "Wow, why didn't I ever think to have something like this done up?". I always point them toward Tiny Prints."
"I always got very frustrated whenever I tried to customize any product online. The Tiny Prints website was so easy to navigate and my card was designed in only a few minutes. I actually found a typo after I submitted my order and customer service was extremely friendly and made the change for me. The order was received on time and looks great! I would definitely use Tiny Prints again and recommend to friends!"
"I used this card for my new Custom House Cleaning business. Everyone comments on how cute my card is! It was so easy to make. I especially like that I was able to put additional information (services provided, hours available, etc.) on the back of the card. I put my business logo in the front photo area and all my contact information to the right. I am very happy with how they turned out! Thank you, Tiny Prints!"
"The stock paper used on this card, provides a sharp, professional business card. I am very pleased with this product. Above all else, the free design service is unprecedented and results in a superior product that meets every expectation."

After both the men's and women's cross country teams improved on their performances from last season at the National Catholic Championships, the Griffs are preparing for another test at the Paul Short Run.
With 141 teams, the event is divided into three tiers. Canisius will be competing in the Brown Race, which is the second seeded race behind the premier Gold Race.
"I was telling the guys on our team that this is possibly and hopefully their last chance to win the Paul Short Run," said head coach Nate Huckle. "We were second last year and we're in the mix with five or six other teams to win the Brown Race this year, but hopefully we'll perform well enough this year and develop into next year to get ourselves seeded into the Gold Race."
To do so, the Griffs will need to have another strong performance from sophomore Cooper Roach, who finished 9th at the National Catholic Championship. They're also hoping fellow sophomore Michael Anvelt will join him near the front of the pack after finishing 38th at the National Catholic Championship.
Canisius will also get its first taste of conference competition, with eight MAAC programs participating in the Paul Short Run.
"We really haven't seen what other teams can put together so far," Huckle said. "At this point teams are still hashing out their lineups and getting freshmen experience with longer distances. This is a large race and probably one of the first times we'll see varsity squads racing at 100 percent, so this will give us a good idea of where we'll stack up in the MAAC this year."
In addition to competing against other MAAC Schools this will be one of the largest events on the Griffs' schedule providing a good source of competition, especially in the women's race.
"I think we're going to see a big jump this year on the women's side," Huckle said. "I wouldn't be surprised if we jump into the top-10, and that's our goal. I think the women's Brown Race is actually a little stronger than the men's. There are a lot of very solid teams, but I'd be disappointed if we finish outside the top-10."
The Griffs are hoping to build on the breakout performance from senior Catherine Phillips at the National Catholic Championship, in her first competition in three years. Phillips was Canisius' top finisher in 18:58.
The action will get underway at 12:15 p.m. on Saturday with the men starting at that time, and the women following 45 minutes later.

Green Bay Swimming Squads Nab League Wins Against UIC
By: Ryan Hartwig (@GBHartwig)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – A long layoff from competition and a demanding training trip to Florida didn't prevent the Phoenix from performing well on Saturday afternoon, as the Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams picked up Horizon League dual victories over UIC at the Peter F. Dorschel Natatorium.
Participating in their first meet since late November, the Phoenix swimmers and divers followed their annual 10-day trip to The Sunshine State with a 191-106 win on the women's side and an exciting 159-141 triumph on the men's side. Green Bay claimed 12 of 16 women's events to run away with the victory, while the Phoenix and Flames split the 16 men's events, with Green Bay's depth proving to be the difference-maker.
"I was really pleased with how we performed after coming back from a tough trip to Florida where we really trained hard," Phoenix head coach Jim Merner said. "We haven't really had any rest since we've been back, and we worked very hard in practice yesterday, so it was great to see how well we did."
The women's squad is still unbeaten in 2013-14, owning a 6-0 dual meet record to go along with two invite victories. The men's squad improved to 3-2 in dual meets with the win, and picked up its first win over UIC in nearly a decade.
Senior Parker Wolf (Kohler, Wis.) was a four-time winner on the women's side, taking both the 50 (24.23) and 100 (52.69) freestyle races and also anchoring the winning 200 medley (1:47.18) and 200 free (1:38.24) relay squads.
Freshmen Alyssa Udean (Brooklyn Center, Minn.) and Natalie Neuwirth (Stevens Point, Wis.) also had strong meets on the women's side, as Udean won the 200 butterfly (2:08.60) and 1000 freestyle (10:30.65), and Neuwirth finished first in the 200 backstroke (2:08.51) and 200 IM (2:12.90).
Other individual winners for the Phoenix women were Racheal Weiland (Wisconsin Rapids, Wis.) in the 200 free (1:54.97), Emily Gomez (Burlington, Wis.) in the 100 back, Crystal Franzwa (Winona, Minn.) in the 1-meter dive (247.97) and Anna Gomez (Burlington, Wis.) in the 500 freestyle (5:07.73).
The men's competition came down to the final event, with UIC needing to place both first and second in the 200 free relay in order to win. The Phoenix secured the victory with an impressive showing in the final race, as Casey Murphy (Sun Prairie, Wis.), Ben Loeffelholz (Dubuque, Iowa), Cole Hackney (Highlands Ranch, Colo.) and Evan Hill (Jefferson, Wis.) touched in first at 1:25.98.
Sophomore Willem Poelmans (Hasselt, Belgium) continued his strong season with two more wins, taking both the 200 free (1:43.06) and 500 free (4:45.99). Also winning two individual races was junior Ryan Korslin (Rudolph, Wis.), who claimed the 100 (57.57) and 200 (2:09.59) breaststroke events.
Other winners for the Phoenix men were Alex Jenness (Prior Lake, Minn.) in the 100 back (53.47) and Sean Leverton (Blaine, Minn.) in the 1-meter dive, accumulating an impressive score of 277.50.
Green Bay continues its stretch of four straight home meets next Friday when it hosts Valparaiso at 6 p.m. at the Dorschel Natatorium.

Sometimes temptation…
A hardened mercenary as adept in bed as in battle, Simon Quinn can have any woman he wants, but he prefers those who know the rules of the game. That way it's easier to leave them behind.…
Can't be avoided.
But Lysette Rousseau is one female he can't figure out. Beautiful, sensual, seductive, she should be the perfect match for Simon, yet something about her ties him in knots. Bold and manipulative one time, sweetly innocent the next, she is an enigma bound to bring trouble…impossible to resist.
©2013 Sylvia Day (P)2013 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
"The undisputed mistress of tender, erotic romance." (Teresa Medeiros)
"Boldly passionate, scorchingly sexy." (Booklist on The Stranger I Married)
I love being swept away by a new romance and thankfully Audible's ever growing Library means I get to indulge myself over and over again
Ms Day I love love love all your books and cannot wait for the next one to be released...... but do you realise I can't get my work done properly, my family's living on take-outs and I've now become an insomniac. If you like sexy Georgian romance listens then my tale shows you just how addictive this series is as once you start listening you just won't want to stop.
This is another captivating story but this time it's about an evil villain, mistaken identity, three romances - one's heartbreaking, one's fiery and one's about forgiveness. They all have passion, tension, deception, danger, seduction, betrayal and lots and lots of sex by brilliant characters that you sympathise and empathise with. Not really a stand alone listen as most of the characters have parts in previous books.
Worth a credit? Yes, but as I've said before, they are all very reasonably priced so splash your cash sit back and enjoy. But a word of warning - get all your work done first and pre-prepare your meals!!
"not enough focus on the main romance"
This book is fine if you don't mind the following:
1. A complicated storyline
2. A further complication of French names that are slightly similar (twins called Lynette and Lysette who get confused for each other and you as a listener get confused even though you never see them! also two important male characters De Garnier and De Jardin... these sound slightly similar to me)
3. A narrator who puts an inflection on every single sentence she says. Argh
4. Several romances going on at the same time, none of them fully developed in a convincing way.
I love Sylvia Day, but sometimes she does not develop the romance in a satisfying manner, and this was one of those cases where there was too much else going on in the story, and too many different romances... I would have loved to see what happened to both twin sisters in more detail, rather than hear all about the other elements of the plot in such detail.
I read all sorts of novels, not just romances, and it is my belief that very few romance authors do a good job of the "side story". Sylvia Day, Nora Roberts and Lisa Kleypas all SOMETIMES succeed - but this book was not an example of that.
"Hated that this was the last of the series!"
The multiple levels of intregue and numerous characters, interwoven to provide an absolutely wonderful plot.
I have not found a romance/erotica that compares to Don't Tempt Me. Multiple plots and multiple couplings leave this book on a level of its own!
Justine Eyre's narration brought the characters to life. I could not have imagined such a varying of voices and accents.
The culmination of the drama had me on the edge of my (car) seat! I was thankful for traffic, so that I did not have to sit in the driveway to finish. My husband would have interupted and I would have been angry.
Mother of 3, grandmother of 6, retired nurse and substance abuse counselor. Thrilled to have the time to read or listen to books again.
"the best one in the series"
i enjoyed this series by Sylvia Day but i think i enjoyed the last book best, not near as much sex in it compared to the 3rd book but more normal or believable. i enjoyed following all the characters through out the series and all in all it was a good story from book to book once i got past the narrator but to be truthful by the end of the 4th book the narrator no longer annoyed me. don't know if it was because i was used to her by then but it kind of scared me, maybe i'm listening to too may audible books!
After starting this book adventure based on my long drives, it has become an obsession, a method for relaxation and enjoyment.
"Espionage, Revenge and betrayal ... and more"
From the last few books, I have loved Simon Quinn. He is a good man and he is always willing to fight for what he believes in. Lysette is stuck in a situation that she has no control over and no memory past two years. This book has to be the best mystery/ adventure of the series. I was caught up in the espionage and wanted to know everything about the families and what was going to happen next. This book is work the listen too, but if you are only interested in the sex, this book carries more weight on the plot than the exploits. But there is the same chemistry and intense love affair that you would find in Sylvia's books.
I enjoyed every minute of this book. I have listened to it more than once now and is on my read again list. I have to say that Justine Eyre's ability to perform in many accents and provide such emotion through the words is truly a gift. She is one of my favorite narrator. Thanks to Sylvia Day and Justine Eyre for their brilliant collaboration.
"Another stunning performance"
Justine Eyre is a wonderful narrator and makes all the Georgian books come to life. I would defiantly recommend.
I enjoy all the Georgian series, I can't put them down. I need to pace myself, I have her last book to read and will be listening this weekend.
"Two in one, or?"
I thought the book was hard to listen to, actually stopped to listen for a while
I'll liked that they change everything
Not my favorite
I don't going to lissten to i again
"Don't temp me"
I loved this book it was as fantastic as always the narrator did a brilliant job
"Unexpected and lovely"
I did not think I would be into Simon's story from hearing a little about him and Maria in the previous book but boy was I wrong! I really loved this story and Simon. SD has got it and flaunts it all over the place with each and every novel she brings out.
"Least favorite in the series"
I like books that are a part of a series, we get to know the characters as friends.
Not sure that I have one in this book.
Turn it off but I chugged on through.
Out of the four books this is my least favorite. I found myself constantly stopping and having to replay parts. So many of the names are similar: eddington, edward - lissette, lynette, etc. I had trouble following each story line although they all ended up weaving into one as the end there were about 9 characters I was trying to follow at once, all doing different things and some that had no bearing on the story line. There are two prologues. Several things that were never answered and characters that switch places and you have no clue that they are not who the author says they are. Not an enjoyable book. This is one that I would suggest that the author get new friends to critique her story before sending it to her editor or get a new editor.
"Absolutely brilliant x"
This is without doubt one of my favourite Sylvia day novels. The whole Georgian collection has been brilliant, but this one is the best. I admit I was confused for the first hour not knowing how the first chapter was anything to do with Simon and the rest of the book. Just keep reading and all will be explained by the end. With great plot twists and the usual hot romance scenes, this book had me enthralled to the very end x
I didnt like the time it was set in and to obvious story that had some complicated twists put in that did enhance the story
I loved the cross fire stuff but this was disappointing

Many times in the evening I'll do a light stretching exercise that really helps my lower back and whole upper body feel better.
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Let your arms hang in a relaxed state by your side and just gently rotate your upper body at the at the waist. Rotate left and right. I start off slow and easy, no more than a 90 degree to begin with until warmed up.
Doing this I can gently crack my back, ankles, knees and neck.
Hope it helps.

i dont think chiropractics is a recognized medical field.idk much about the subject but i know cracking joints can cause arthritis.your scraping the 2 bones/cartilage or w/e together(that is the cracking sound).i cant see how it will help arthritis.maybe stretching excersizes to relieve pressure on the joints.there is also ejections you can get that relieve back pain that isnt a drug effect.

Take the beer money and go to a chiropractor. He may not help you, but he will give you the crack that you're after!
|The Following User Says Thank You to medicineball For This Useful Post:
If you have serious pain seek a Dr before trying below information. I am not a Dr or do I claim to be. Try at your own risk.
For your lower back:
This is a great stretch for the lower back and can make the crack you are asking for:
Lay down flat on your back with your arms spread wide. (like you are making a snow angel) bend one of your knees straight up and cross it over your other leg reaching as far as you can while keeping your arms and other leg in place as much as possible. Do other leg.
To do a self decompression of lower back. lay on floor or bed, prop yourself up on your elbows knees bent up, take your hands palms up thumbs out and place them on your lower back just above your buttocks with thumbs pointed straight up to the sky along your side. push on your buttocks slowly and steadily pushing towards your feet. at the same time try to pull your upper body away from your hands(hard to explain that part but it is like relaxing and expanding your spine away from your hands) hold as long as possible. Voila
Hang as long as possible from a jungle gym bar or chin up bar.
For upper middle back: (this will not crack it it will relieve pain)
Take a folded quartered hand towel and place it just below your nipples and in the middle of your chest (adjust as necessary)and lay flat on your stomach face down on the floor.
I was told by a Dr, the sound you hear when a chiropractor adjusts your back is not the sound of bones being re-aligned. What it is is the sound of a temporary vacuum that is created whenever any joint is suddenly separated. And cracking does not always mean relief. And some Drs say it can be bad if you have arthritis or other joint problems.
Research the Pro Adjuster that Chiropraters use more now rather than "cracking".

Will say that I started seeing a chiropractor for my neck and noticed a huge difference. That an acupuncture...swear by both, as they have been around for centuries.

Lay flat on your back.
Keeping your shoulders and in contact with the ground, take one leg and put it like you're sitting in a chair. It should look like your thigh is 90 degrees from your torso, and your calf is 90 degrees from your thigh but parallel to your torso.
At this point, your leg is off the ground. Keeping your shoulders and back in contact with the ground, rotate the lifted leg so that it goes over your other leg. Get the knee of the lifted folded leg as close to the ground as possible, you can use your hand (still keeping your shoulders in contact with the ground) of the side your knee is on to push it a little further if you want.
Alternatively, you can do this and have someone push your knee and opposite shoulder - gently.
You should feel a series of pops as your back adjusts.
If you're having muscle problems, if at all possible, do try the drugs. They will relax your back just enough to allow the blood flow back into the muscles to allow the muscles to start healing. I hate pills as well, but I've seized up so bad I couldn't change positions (sitting to standing). After 2 months of constant pain, I took the drugs. Was right as rain a week later. It was some heavy duty stuff.
There are some back stretching exercises I've done as well that have helped.

I get knots in my upper back / shoulders
I join bolth hands behind my back and put my hands on a counter top(or something similar) , Then slowly kneel down so the counter top lifts my arms up gently
This does not crack my back but it makes it feel slightly better

I don't have any advice about back cracking. However I've had a herniated disk in my lower back, the yoga stretch called Child's Pose does wonders for me when I'm in discomfort. Though I use it regularly in my daily exercise routine.
Childs Pose
Extended Childs Pose
There are many other easy and gentle poses that are very beneficial to those with lower back pain.
|The Following 6 Users Say Thank You to escape For This Useful Post:
I agree with the yoga stretches and.....
If you have a really good friend or family member that can pick you up, try this:
Stand straight up and cross your arms, palms toward your shoulders and hands flat. Have your buddy/family member stand behind you and wrap his arms around your shoulders/arms. Like a bear hug. Then have him lift you off the ground. After the initial popping is over, have him gently shake you side to side.
Sounds crazy but it works.

I use this device after working out and it really helps to keep my back flexible.
There are tutorials on youtube on what to do.
see a chiropractor. it'll take several sessions to get it straighten out (depending how bad and if it's was long time or recent injuries). after that exercise your back with stretching and practice lifting with you knees.

Would definatly recommend a chiropractor. Worked wonders on my scoliosis I need to go back
Chiropractic is a do-it-at-your-own-risk affair. Though it does seem to help many people on a subjective level, I've also seen a few people get fractures and arterial dissections from it. I hear it can also sometimes cause permanent nerve damage. Many orthopedists and physiatrists routinely disparage chiropractic and consider it to be pseudoscience lacking objective, empiric evidence of efficacy; OTOH both of these specialties utilize limited forms of SMT in some cases (much less liberally than chiropractors). If you plan on seeing a chiropractor, you should definitely let your primary doctor know about it so he/she can anticipate complications if they arise.
Physical therapy, including stretching and yoga and whatever else the PT recommends, is your safest bet. Studies on glucosamine/chondroitin show a trend towards statistically significant benefit but not definitively so. In other words, taking it may or may not be helpful. Local steroid injections are helpful for some people, but their duration of effect is on the order of months, after which the pain returns. Long term steroid therapy can lead to osteoporosis and worsen diabetes control, among other things. Your last option, of course, is spine surgery. Recommendations for escalation of pain control typically go something like this: OTC pain meds -> PT -> steroids -> opioid pain meds -> surgery. Some steps are skipped sometimes, depending on the situation. Being or getting into shape in general can do wonders for your musculoskeletal system, beyond the benefits it brings to your cardiovascular system and your long term survival.
My back-cracker of choice used to be a chiropractor... But I ran out of money for that quite a while ago
I like to use gravity boots for easing back pain. It's pretty much regular boots (some resemble ski boot) with hooks on the end, and you hang upside down from basically a pull up bar.
I think teeter hang-ups makes a version. Mine are old as hell... I don't even know what brand they are. And the bar is a pull up bar from a sporting goods store.
Hang upside down for a few minutes, relaxed, and your back will slowly start to stretch and crack.. And seemingly straighten out. Not sure how good or bad it is for you, but it works really well.
This is what the back cracker showed me when I hurt my back.
1. Lay flat on your back
2. First put your left knee up, foot on floor, bring your right ankle over the left thigh, pull on right knee and ankle, pull towards you chest. You want to stretch the gluts and hammie out......if you don't stretch them first you will never get your back to realign. Hold for 15 seconds and switch to left leg, right leg up. Do each side three times.
3. Now.....if you are stretched properly this will work good or does for me.....
Lay flat on your back bring your right leg over your left leg and bent at about a 45 degree angle, push down slightly with your left hand on your right knee, this will rotate your body slightly up on your right side......extend your right arm out to an angle between your shoulder and head...Arm straight out but not touching the floor... the weight of the arm gives a slight twist to your back. Do this opposite sides 3 times each.......mine usually pops on the first go but if i haven't stretched well enough as shown above it maybe on the 2nd try or not at all.....
.....its not "bones rubbing together"

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Views: 34
Just had a look through your site, it looks pretty ace! One thing though- does it say anywhere what kindof zines you are interested in reviewing? For example, i write a feminist zine and i would feel bad if i sent it to you for review and thats not the kinda thing you're into...
Somehow I missed this thread the first time around, but I just wanted to say that Nicole made an excellent point in suggesting that you take it seriously and keep it up. I can think of at least three review blogs that were started this year and died as soon as the blogger realized how much work it is. Yours looks pretty good so far.
I have a zine review blog, too. I think it's probably pretty obvious to regular readers what kind of zines I'm into, though I do specify on the sidebar not to send me music zines or zines with girl-hate, because otherwise... you're probably not gonna get a good review. And then I'll feel bad. I post interviews occasionally and write about my life in general, and I think it all goes together pretty well. Looking forward to seeing how yours comes along! Any chance you'd be up for swapping links?
I luv this idea! Please keep us posted on where you take this....the possibilities are endless. I could definately see myself sitting down and reading a blog about zines and reviews....to learn about what inspires other zinesters would be great!

Your write-up alone deserves votes.
ramyb wrote:I've seen this type of comment before, but I've never really understood it- There are two possibilities with any given entry: the first is that people will like it, in which case it will get votes. The other is that people will not like it, and it won't. I can design whatever is fun or interesting to me, and then the voters can decide if they like it or not. If it doesn't do well, I'm not sure why anyone would be insulted- I would simply not be rewarded for my time. If it does do well, then clearly people enjoyed the design and so I'm not sure why they would feel insulted.
I assume that your question was supposed to be a sort of passive aggressive rhetorical one that implies that people SHOULD be insulted for some reason, but I will play dumb and answer anyway: no, I don't worry about it. Some designs will strike a chord with people, others won't. Contrary to popular belief, I do a lot of different types of designs (just look at the reckoning if you don't believe me)- I don't worry about how people will react to my designs anymore. I've dealt with enough garbage over the years on woot and have developed tough skin. If this design isn't your cup of tea, maybe the next one will be. If none of my designs are your cup of tea, then it's a good thing that there are hundreds of other designs that print each year.
Personally, I think it's wonderful. It makes a lot of references, but because it's done in silhouette it becomes a smart shirt. You have to genuinely know the different alien characters in order to get the reference. (I love the fact that Kang or Kodos from the Simpsons is on there!) Plus, it is a design that can withstand the test of "Not having the Derby title on the shirt". So many of the shirts in these letter derbies are basically people throwing together a bunch of disparate things that all start with the same letter. Yes, "Alligators arranging apples in Arizona" has clever assonance in the title, but it doesn't mean anything. And it certainly doesn't stand the test of someone coming up to you and asking what the shirt means. "Uh, yeah...There's this site called Woot and they have these things called Derbies and this was from the 'A' derby...So everything on the shirt starts with an 'A.'" With this shirt, on the other hand, you can say with, "It's like ET, but they're flying past a whole bunch of other aliens along the way."
Don't let naysayers get you down, ramyb. This is a quality shirt, well designed and clever, and it's just the kind of shirt I usually buy on Woot. And if it ever gets up into the fog, I'm taking back every other one of my fog votes to make sure it gets made. Keep up the good work!
Re: Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore
Amazing idea! Assuming that his picture is up on the wall because he is deceased. GMV
Re: Avenge This
woot can't print more than 6 inks per shirt, so this will probably be rejected. Recommend you resubmit this with only 6 colors on the gray.

It's cute and axolotls are worth major bonus points in my book. But it looks a bit rough and pixely. Clean it up a bit and it would definitely have my vote. Also, maybe make it cover a bit less of the shirt.

You leaning towards any specific caliber or feature in a handgun? Double-stack or single-stack in a semi? Six shot or seven shot in a S&W revolver? Blue or SS?
So many questions......so little information.

The Education system in china is powerful and horrible. They can do everything illegal that they want to do. To non-special class(grass root class), any struggling would cause victims' disaster. *The ending is always that *the kids will lose their school(no school would receive this kid). *So, many many family choice *suffering in silence.
Chinese are categorized into Alien category in the earth. That means if human being is the winner, they would enslave Alien just like Chinese. Or should I say Chinese have been slaves already?

The University of St. Thomas Women's Basketball team comes off of a tough week, during which it saw action against an NCAA Division I opponent and two of the top 25 NAIA teams in the country. Head Coach Mike Ricks anticipated some struggles during this portion of the schedule, but said he believes the team is showing improvement.
"We want to measure ourselves against the best," Ricks said. "I've always been a big believer that playing against great competition will help you to be able to win games down the road that you might not have been otherwise prepared to win."
If that is the case, then the Lady Celts' early schedule should pay big dividends. On Nov. 7, the Celts traveled to Hofheinz Pavilion to take on the University of Houston Cougars in an exhibition game. The Celts jumped out to an early 7-0 lead on the Cougars behind the strong play of Aujanee Armstrong and Sheila Onyekwere. The Cougars battled back to take the lead midway through the first half and never looked back, defeating the Lady Celts 65-41.
"The final score doesn't tell the story of the game," Ricks said. "We battled a Division I team and gave them everything they wanted for about 32 minutes. I think they ended up wearing us down physically towards the end of the game, but I feel like we got better tonight. We had great performances from Armstrong with 14 points and Onyekwere with 16 rebounds, and we were able to do some positive things both offensively and defensively."
Over the weekend the Lady Celts traveled to Oklahoma City to take on the Stars of Oklahoma City University.
"OCU is ranked No. 3 in the country," Ricks said. "They are without a doubt the toughest team on our schedule." Unfortunately, the Lady Celts were never really in the game as they fell, 110-46. Aujanee Armstrong was the lone Lady Celt in double figures with 11 points.
UST continued the trip through Oklahoma with a visit to Langston University for the team's first Red River Athletic Conference match-up. Although the Lady Celts fell to the 19th ranked team in the country by a score of 85-67, they gave the defending Red River champs a run for their money.
"We didn't play a very good first half, and we found ourselves in a hole early," Ricks said. "We came out in the second half with a different mindset and we were able to make a game of it."
The Lady Celts fought hard and trimmed Langston under 10 points with about six minutes remaining in the contest behind great performances by Hershiira "Shorty" Boone-Rodgers and Maddy Ali.
"This was our most balanced game, scoring wise, that we have had," Ricks said. "Shorty and Maddy both had great games, but we also got big-time contributions from Gaby Guzman and Aujanee Armstrong. Amber Arceneaux-Francis really helped to get us going in the second half with her passing, and Jzavon Redic was fantastic off the bench."
The Lady Celts return home to play in the inaugural PSN Sports Challenge beginning on Friday, Nov. 18. The opening game of the Challenge will feature the Lady Celts against Dallas Christian College. Tip-off is scheduled for 7 p.m.

Hi there fellow Fett-heads and Mandos. I've searched the threads and found a few that mentioned using Easy Off oven cleaner to remove layers of old paint. I've been sanding off the old paint on a recently acquired helmet to get it ready to paint. I think the old paint is some kind of enamel spray paint.
Has anyone used Easy Off? Did it work well or did it melt your helmet? Will any oven cleaner work or is there a particular kind.
As always, thanks for the input and insight.
