Drove out to the trap club and signed up for the shoot at 9:20am
Had a cup of coffee and was saying high to all my friends and other shooters that had come out for the event.
We usually start shooting a little after 10am but for some reason the other members of my team did not show up.
I was asked to join another team since they were short two shooters and said, you betcha............
They were on the 4th go round so we did not shoot til around 11:20 and for some odd reason my first few shots sounded pretty light. I guess 5 hours of sitting in the car in 32 degree weather is not the best thing in the world for shotgun shells.
I took a box of shells back to the trap club and dumped the shells on our table to soak up the 78 degree indoor weather and two hours later on the handicap round they actually sounded like shotgun shells!! Even with the 32* weather and 15-20 mph North wind I only droped two birds. Lesson learned...........never use cold ammo.
My ammo for singles at 1145 fps was probably only going around 1110 fps and a #8 does not work well on frozed targets and I grabbed a 3 Dram 7 1/2 load for the HDCP with out even hesitating.
Good shooting,boys and girls.

'"It was a pretty minor benching," Ruff said. "I think he played 16 minutes (actually he played 16:37 total in the game), so it's a couple shifts. Benchings are a little more severe, so it was just a message that things hadn't gone good enough."'

We wanted to bring you and update on our efforts to make TDH self-sustaining.
Today marks the end of our first month using Adsense and we brought in just a little over half of what was needed to run the site. That may sound bad but considering we had virtually no donations in this past month (there were a couple of you, but not many) and considering this was our first month, it is not too bad. We are still seeking additional creative means to pay for the site and keep you from needing to make donations but at this point we are still most likely going to need them for at least a short time to come.
For this next month, we are trying a slightly different ad structure to determine its success level as compared to the first month. Thank you for your patience as we make these changes, and thanks for your continued support.

Click for "Microbes After Hours" videos
A new understanding of life on Earth has forced us to redraw the tree of life. Dr. Carl Woese and Norman Pace describe the process and challenges of categorizing microbial life.
{Title: Solving the Puzzle}
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: In the Nineteen sixties, most scientists believed that creating a new Tree of Life, by comparing the DNA of different species was impossible, but in Urbana, Illinois, Carl Woese, a jazz aficionado, and molecular biologist, disagreed.
Scientist, Carl Woese: You have to hear the tune, as it were. You got to have an ear, you got to pick up on these faint tones, and if you like them, you go to where you can hear them better. You have to have your own particular sensitivity to the world, and there has to be parts of it that are beautiful to you, because they are beautiful to you, regardless of what anyone else ever thinks. And you see this all the time in a artist, and you see it also in good scientists.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: For Woese, creating a tree that showed how life on Earth evolved from the first form of life, to the last, became an obsession.
Scientist, Carl Woese: I knew that this was a jigsaw puzzle that had to be put together. Now, in my case, I emphasize, had to be. Because I understood that to really be a biologist to really understand biology you had to understand where everything came from.
{Music plays, "Maple Leaf Rag".}
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Woese focused first on the evolution Of the first forms of life, microbes. The problem that had stumped everyone else, was that with microbes, you can't tell much about how closely they're related by just looking at them. But Carl Woese had an ace in the hole, a special chain of genetic material, special because it exists in very similar form inside every living thing. Woese began by cutting one of these special chains into sections short enough to manage. Next he took pictures of the sections, using x-ray film. Then Woese began the incredibly challenging task of figuring out in which sequence the four chemicals called A, C, G, and U, were ordered in each section of the chain. Why go to such extraordinary lengths? Because Woese believed that the special chain could reveal how life on Earth evolved. He knew that this chain has done its job so well, that it has been passed down from the first forms of life, to all life that followed. Every bacterium on Earth today has inherited it, and so have you. It was like discovering that all the music ever written, has a few notes remaining from the first piece of music ever created. Woese realized that by comparing the thousands Of A's, C's, G's and U's in the chains of two different species, he would be able to see exactly how much of the score of this special chain, they had in common. The more of the score, that any two species had in common, the more closely related, Woese believed, they had to be on the Tree of Life.
Scientist, Carl Woese: And it was indeed just like putting a jigsaw puzzle together. You don't know what the picture is, and then you put all these little islands together, and you say, oh here's a part of it.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Fellow molecular biologist Norman Pace worked up the hall from Woese, during the years he was attempting a new Tree of Life.
Scientist, Norman Pace: I think the remarkable thing about the Woese endeavor, was that it essentially single handed. When ever you go in high powered lab today, what you see is many people bustling around, it was never like that in Woese's lab, it was always just Woese.
Scientist, Carl Woese: You, got up in the morning, ate breakfast, and came into the lab. And then you put these silly x-rays up on your wall, and you looked intensely, but you had to be intense to get through this task. This happens on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and week after week, and ultimately year, after year. I would finish the day, having looked at these films for many, many hours, and I would go home and say to myself, you know you have destroyed your mind again today. And that is how it felt. Everything was dulled down, all that mental energy was used up.
Scientist, Norman Pace: I'm not sure anybody except Carl Woese could have pulled off the articulation of the big tree. It required with drawing himself literally, with drawing himself from scientific society.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: One key to Woese's approach was to search for the places where major new branches of life began, by looking for the place where a group of A's, C's, G's and U's Showed up in an order he'd never seen before. It was like only having heard notes arranged to play classical music your whole life. {Classical music playing.} And then suddenly hearing them arranged in a rhythm and blues beat. {Rhythm and blues music playing.} And slowly but surely, one after another, the major branchings on the tree began to appear.
Scientist, Carl Woese: You could feel the thing growing. The islands became joined, became bigger islands. And then all of a sudden you see, this is what the picture is going to be about, and you gleefully throw in all of the other pieces as fast as you can.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: After more than ten years, Carl Woese completed the puzzle. A new Tree of Life created by comparing the genetic make up of different species. When it comes to the branch of the tree that happens to include us human beings, Woese's tree points to a new, very different way of looking at ourselves. The new tree is based exclusively on how similar the genetic instructions of different species are, and the fact is that just like the scores of country songs {Country and western music plays} are remarkably similar to the scores of rock and roll songs. {Rock and roll music plays.} The scores of plants are stunningly similar to the scores of animals, and human beings. And so the Woese tree, far from being just two branches divided between animals and plants, has only allotted animals and plants tiny twigs together, out on the end of the branch we share with all other visible life.
Scientist, Carl Woese: It's difficult to see this tree here as your relative. Because ever since recorded history, almost, mankind is distinguished between animals and plants. These were the two great forms of life, and they were as different as different could be. {Sound of sheep baaing.} But yet, scientists began to find out that there was a lot of commonality between plants and us, and that's the thing that has really shocked even me To find out not how different animals and plants are, but how much alike they are.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: If you have a hard time believing that animals and plants are alike, consider what it takes to be different. When Woese decoded the scores of a newly discovered group of microbes, including a species that eats volcanic gases in the ocean, he found the letters arranged in a pattern far, far different than any he'd seen before.
It was as if Woese had discovered a new kind of music that human beings had never heard before. Woese found the same unusual pattern in some of the microbes that Karl Stetter had collected from hot springs. Woese realized that their unusual genetic material made these strange organisms so different from the bacterial branch, and from our branch that they had to be given their own branch on the Tree of Life, which he named the Archaea, for ancient. Woese's work was especially meaningful to Karl Stetter. For it shows that the ancestors of all three branches of the tree lived in boiling water. Today most scientist agree with the portrayal of early life.
Scientist, Karl Stetter: Due to the work done by Carl Woese, you can find out where these little tiny bugs are in the Tree of Life, and so it was so interesting. The hotter the temperature, the deeper the branches are, and this makes my work even more exciting.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: For many scientists Woese's tree has made the case for the scientific view of evolution, more compelling then ever before.
Scientist, Norman Pace: I believe Carl Woese has done more for biology then anyone since Darwin. Always, before evolution had been theories, evolution had been notions, ideas, hypothesis, but as the molecular tree began to spin out, it was very clear that this was not theory. This was fact.
Scientist, Carl Woese: Ever since I was a kid, I've wanted, not only, to understand superficially but I wanted to understand them deeply. I need the truth. Some call this the search for god, and some don't, but you want to go deep, and you want to feel the truth. And priests do this, and many scientist do this.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: Woese's work made it possible, for the first time, for scientists to systematically explore the invisible world that surrounds us. Now they could begin begin to ask, who lives here, who are their relatives, and what are they doing? There was just one problem, scientists could only ask those questions about the few microbes that they managed to grow in the lab, and collect DNA from. Then Woese's colleague Norman Pace, made break through of his own. At its heart was the new technology of cloning, which made it possible for Pace to take a single strand of microbe DNA, and clone as many copies of it that he needed. Pace realized that he could now collect microbes from any environment, and make copies of their DNA without ever having to grow them.
Scientist, Norman Pace: My feeling was that for the very first time the door to the natural microbial world was open to us, that for the very first time we could understand what the makeup of the microbial world is. And that is, after all, most of biology.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: The first place Pace tried out the new technique was a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park. What Pace discovered staggered even him. Yellowstone's hot springs were home to, not just a few other worldly microbes, but to a stunningly complex ecosystem filled with hundreds of different species. And it isn't just hot springs that are teeming with microbes. It is every environment on Earth {Classical music playing.} Now scientists are reading the scores of thousands of previously unknown species of microbes, ushering in a golden age in the study of evolution? And of what the Tree of Life on Earth is really like. Scientists have been surprised not just by how many different kinds of microbes there are, but by discovering that some of those species exist in numbers that rival the number of stars in the universe.
Scientist, Norman Pace: The distribution of life on the planet is very different than we would have thought it, even a decade ago. The estimates are that more than ninety five percent of the biomass in the open ocean is microbial. The deep subsurface, and the basalts of the crust of the Earth are shot through with life. Life is in ice. Life is in waters of boiling temperatures.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: But why does it matter, that we are surrounded by these tiny living beings? Because it turns out many of them are doing things essential to the survival of life on Earth.
Scientist, Norman Pace: The microbial world is paramount, in the context of maintaining the chemistry of the biosphere. The biosphere is fundamentally chemistry. That chemistry is fundamentally driven by microorganisms.
Scientist, Carl Woese: Why should we care? We can't see these things. Well, let's do a thought experiment, and take these things away. Let's take all the bacteria in the world away. Do you know what's going to happen? All the life that we can see with our naked eyes, all that life is going to disappear in short order. The microbial world is the basis upon which our whole ecosphere rests, and without it there is no multicellular life. And a humbling thought is, if you do the converse and take away all the animals and plants, you will see big adjustments in the bacterial world, but it will still be there, growing happily along and evolving.
Narrator, Lillian Lehman: The message of the work of Carl Woese, and Norm Pace, that microbes play a key role on our planet, could hardly be clearer. But what will happen when we can read the entire score, not just of microbes, but of human beings? How will that change our understanding of our role on the planet?

Arsène Wenger admits he is "not convinced" by proposals to double the amount of teams in the Champions League to 64.
UEFA president Michel Platini recently admitted that talks were planned to discuss scrapping the Europa League and having just one European competition.
However, Wenger feels that to do so would have a negative impact on both the competition and domestic leagues.
"I'm not convinced because the Champions League already has audience problems in the group stage," he said.
"I think that would create more [problems] and lower the level. It would mean that you create a complete European championship.
"That could be detrimental to the national leagues as well and could take some interest out of the first stages of the Champions League. It would be a European league."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Since I made that post there have been changes.
The PBM thunder heads are no longer dart pieces, dart and PBM are no longer affiliated, but world is now making heads and blocks for PBM.
|One more detail on the PBM/World heads. S/R is not just stamped in them. It's part of the casting, along with the World logo and every other identifying mark that the S/R Torquer carries. The first post makes it sound as if someone stamped S/R into the head to fool someone. Not the case.
|I for one was glad to see you step up to the plate and set things straight about your product and your business,best of luck to you in these tough times as small business needs all the support it can get keeping Americans working.Also are you offering a similar head for 289-302 Fords ? but with a 1.94 intake valve.
|Hope I didn't break too many rules in the previous post. It's not meant to be an advertisement. Just wanted to let everyone know who I am since the initial post by Dan was dropping hints that he may "out me" in the future.
Hey everybody. New to the forum. I'm the guy that sold the heads to Dan. I never engage in arguments on forums and rarely feel the need to defend myself even when being bashed. I've sold and used literally dozens of sets of these. They are made by World just like PBM's blocks. They used to get their castings from Dart but no longer do. They are not a knock off World head. They are a World head that has PBM machined into the end instead of World. They are a fine quality part and we sell them at a good price, just like everything else we sell, often at well below the suggested retail because my opinion is why should I try to make a killing when all I'm doing for you is making a phone call and having a company drop ship something to you. PBM is a quality company that sells quality parts with nothing but the utmost integrity. We try to do the same. My fault that I didn't put PBM's name in the auction and this has since been corrected. I never really felt the need because they don't have much commercial recognition and I've never had a customer question that they were indeed a World Products head. We're a small family owned shop in a small town struggling through the present economy like many of the rest of you. Anybody that would like to talk to me personally can call my cell at 217-827-3094. Here's a link to the auction so everyone can see what we're talking about. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...E%3AIT&vxp=mtr
The only changes that have been made since my last sale are the references to PBM and I did up the price slightly to $700 to cover some of Ebay's ridiculous fees. If anyone would like to purchase a set contact me directly to circumvent the Ebay middleman and I'll sell them substantially cheaper. Hope this clears everything up. I will make it right if Dan isn't convinced just as I always do when a customer expresses a grievance, and I had replied to his concerns through Ebay before I found this post by coincidence. I was a little shocked to see it to tell the truth. The company name is New Covenant Performance Inc. and we are located in Mt. Auburn, Illinois. The shop phone is 217-676-2660. We sell engines, parts, offer machine work, dyno sessions and more. Thanks for hearing me out. I won't engage in any insulting or arguing on this forum or any other. Just didn't think this post was fair.

|i agree with jeff. alot of thimes it is name what you are paying for. like most of summit racing stuff is made by other company's and the summit name slapped on them. for example i bought an all aluminum champion radiator off ebay, and a glassteck fiberglass 5" cowl hood for my truck. the radiator was 200 after shipping and the hood was 620 with shipping. the radiator rivaled some be cools i have seen and keeps my motor at 160 in 110degree heat with humidity making it around 120 with a mechanical fan. and the hood was in great shape right out of the box and i didnt have to modify it. it bolted right on no problem. and cheaper than a harwood.
|From the link it looks like you are going to be OK,I once took marketing in college and was surprised to learn that many name brand companies make the same product but many use generic labels,an example was Dinty Moore beef stew you paid 30% more than the Safeway brand but it was made in the same plant,same recipe and same quantity,what makes the price difference? advertising and marketing costs.You will find many camshaft companies have identical grinds but you will pay more for the decals and the box it comes in and the name recognition.
Ebay world torquer heads
I recently bought a set of World s/r torquer heads off of ebay, and i thought i got a good price, 675 for the pair of assembled heads brand new ... however... what i received were actually "PBM" brand heads that have s/r stamped in them.... im trying to message the guy and see if he will make it right. If not we will have a problem. But i just want everyone on here to be weary of buying world s/r torquers off ebay because some are actually "PBM thunder heads" in disguise. I hate to bash a guys business so all i will say for now is that its out of Illinois. Be weary.

The election of Barack Obama raised hopes there would be a new willingness on the part of the American government to confront its mistakes and engage in dialogue rather than pretending there never are mistakes. Philip Alston, the UN Human Rights Council's special investigator on illegal killings charged American forces in Afghanistan were not addressing issues of the deaths of innocent civilians. The Obama administration is not refuting his charges, but they claim he has no right to make such accusations. "We do not believe that military and intelligence operations during armed conflict fall within the special rapporteur's mandate."
The issue is not whether Philip or John or Harry has a mandate to investigate deaths of innocent people, the issue is are such killings taking place and are those responsible being properly punished. What the heck has happened to Barack Obama??

In today's world of hyper education, working two jobs while going to class, and doing homework, etc., being a buddhist probably runs contrary not just to conventional knowledge but conventional practice. I thought it might be a fun exercise, and a useful one, to pull together what knowledge we can as kind of a "guide for practicing students" who often live in cramped spaces, with rushed lives and thoughts, etc.,
Some areas I would like to cover would be focusing on work, blocking out distractions, etc., basic productivity stuff. But social and life issues should absolutely be included because many college campuses do not have shrines or meditation groups, so perhaps we could include info on creating/founding or practicing in solitude?
What do you all think of this idea? I know this would benefit me, but I think it would benefit my friends who are also interested, but are too confused and secluded from a teacher, to really know how to practice.

text: Its funny that you mentioned that game. First thing that you have to realize old skool is that i'm only 29 years of age. So for me to watch that game and truly understand everything that is going on would have been a marvel. Second I have seen that game on espn classic many times, and I belive it went 3 overtimes and Zeke had something like 45 pts and 15 assists(could be wrong about the assists). I have been a die-hard Piston fan since 1986 when I started to really get into basketball and have had the amazing opportunity to see us win big games and lose them also. I have seen us win titles and lose them also. Like you I have had sleeplessness nights pondering how we could won some of those games and days of euphoria after we were victorious. I am not questioning your loyalty old skool, but the series is only tied and just because we lost last night doesnt mean that the basketball world as we know it is gonna end. You have to support your team no matter what, its what "true" fans do.

Are we protecting our children too much? Some parenting experts would probably say yes. Remember the debates about "helicopter parents"? As a parent myself, it is hard (or even impossible) to allow our children to be hurt, teased, ignored or disappointed let alone poisoned by a toxic baby bottle!
In Wendy Mogel's bestselling book "The Blessings Of A Skinned Knee: Using Jewish Teachings To Raise Self-Reliant Children" she writes:
"Parents' urge to overprotect their children is based on fear. Fear of strangers, the streets, the Internet, the mall. Fear of the child's not being invited to the right parties or accepted by the right schools. Fear about safety, sex, disease, and drugs. In my parenting classes there are always lots of questions about fear and its flip side, freedom...Real protection means teaching children to manage risks on their own, not shielding them from every hazard. Worrying excessively about discrimination while not letting your child walk around the block on their own can create highly conscious cripples."As I was thinking about all of these things today, I got a funny email through the multiples club I belong to:
"TO ALL THE KIDS WHO SURVIVED THE 1940s, 50s, 60s, 70s and 80's!!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they were pregnant. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, we were put to sleep on our tummies in baby cribs covered with bright colored lead-base paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, locks on doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had baseball caps not helmets on our heads.
As infants & children, we would ride in cars with no car seats, booster seats, seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a pick up truck on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle. We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and no one actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread, real butter and bacon. We drank Kool-aid made with real white sugar. And, we weren't overweight. WHY? Because we were always outside, playing...that's why!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach us all day. And, we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's and X-boxes. There were no video games, no 150 channels on cable, no video movies or DVD's, no surround-sound or CD's, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet and no chat rooms.
WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays, made up games with sticks and tennis balls and, although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them.
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
These generations have produced some of the best risk-takers problem solvers and inventors ever.
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all.
If YOU are one of them, CONGRATULATIONS!
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?"I laughed when I read this, both because I remembered so much of this from my own childhood and because I realized how different it all was from the way I am raising our children now. Was this necessarily a bad thing? There's a lot to be said for some of the things we know now. But the line about these previous generations producing some of the world's greatest risk takers stuck with me.
And so, I wondered, where does that leave us as parents in the "new millennium"? As we learn more and more about child development we begin to get a glimpse into what is possible for our cherished babies; what is possible for their brains and bodies if only we don't expose them them to toxic chemicals in their food containers; what is possible for their future if only they are accepted into that school that professes to be the best at tapping into their creative and intellectual potential; what is possible for them, emotionally, if only they always feel included, adored, self-assured, smart and so on. It's enough to drive any involved parent batty. Believe me, my heart feels like it is going to be ripped out whenever a child at a playground won't share with my children and I admit that I fell victim to the pressure of wanting to give them the best head start at getting into Harvard by trying to find the "best" preschool for them and I'm certainly not planning to re-introduce BPA into our house any time soon. But I also try to let my kids be kids. Again, from "The Blessings Of A Skinned Knee":
"Securing babies in car seats and requiring children to wear helmets while bicycling makes sense. But going too far in the direction of protecting children can backfire, leaving them fearful of stepping out into the world on their own...Having the courage not to pamper and overprotect your child means that sometimes she will be uncomfortable, unhappy or even in peril, but that you are willing to take a chance because of your commitment to her growth and development."I know that we are talking about two different things here: the protection against the outside world of toxins, child predators, television, the Internet and so forth, and protecting our children's inner worlds so that the way they handle experiences allows them to grow up into resilient, confident, happy people. To watch someone you love struggle and fail is incredibly hard; and it is so easy to get caught up in the fear about parenting that is created by the media and internet gossip. But to be so afraid of the world and the chance that our children might get hurt, physically or emotionally, is actually doing more harm to them than any leeching plastic plate or exclusion from a birthday party ever could. It is through our biggest disappointments, rejections and struggles that we grow as people and know what we are capable of. Are we raising a generation of children given every opportunity, but shielded from reality? I want my children to grow up knowing that life isn't always fair, the world isn't perfect and there are things out there that aren't so pretty...if we try to hide all that's imperfect, how will we ever raise children who have passion to bring change to this world?
I'd love to know your thoughts on this. I've been thinking about it a lot.
Thanks for reading!

Location: Vegetable Crops ResearchTitle: Onion thiosulfinates: some like them hot, others not Author
Submitted to: ASA-CSSA-SSSA Annual Meeting Abstracts
Publication Type: Abstract Only
Publication Acceptance Date: 8/1/2011
Publication Date: 9/15/2011
Citation: Havey, M.J. 2011. Onion thiosulfinates: some like them hot, others not [abstract]. ASA-CSSA-SSSA Annual Meeting Abstracts. Paper No. 338-5. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Onion (Allium cepa) efficiently acquires and accumulates sulfur. In most plants, the majority of sulfur is located in proteins in the amino acids cysteine and methionine; however in onion a significant proportion of the sulfur is found in non-protein amino-acid derivatives. In onion, sulfur is most commonly taken up by the roots as sulfate, transported via the xylem to the leaves, reduced to sulfide, and incorporated into organosulfur compounds. The flavor precursors, Alkyl-L-Cysteine Sulfoxides (ACSOs), are derived from cysteine and are physically separated in cells from the enzyme alliinase. When onion tissue is crushed or chopped, alliinase acts upon the ACSOs to produce complex suites of thiosulfinates. Volatile thiosulfinates collect on the outer surface of the eye as sulfenic acids, causing the well-known tearing effect of onion. Thiosulfinates are also responsible for the pungent flavor of onion and have well established health benefits. The pungency of onion is strongly influenced by sulfur availability, as well as genetic factors controlling the relative amounts of thiosulfinates produced by mild and pungent onions.

Kearns • In practice, it's tough luck for the scout team defense. They have to figure out how to defend Dayon Goodman on an in-bounds play that is tailor-made for him.
The 6-foot-8 senior gets the feed just inside the perimeter, then hands it off to the passer. Often, he can then lose his defender by spinning to his right. Then he'll leap up, and if all goes according to plan, he'll wrap his hands around a basketball and slam it from out of the stratosphere.
How many high-school kids in the state can do that? Not many, and that's what makes Goodman's talent so enthralling, and his off-again, on-again motor so puzzling.
His coach never lets him off easy when he thinks his star isn't playing hard enough.
"If you ask him now, I'd bet he'd say he's the best forward in the state," Kearns coach Dan Cosby says. "But some people don't always see it, because it's not every play. And that's going to be his biggest adjustment at the next level: He's got to turn it on all the time."
Goodman is tall and skinny but has arms that reach out for long loose balls and rebounds. He's capable of some of the fiercest dunks at the Utah high-school level. He can swat away shots from those who dare challenge him in the paint. He can tower above most kids his age in more ways than one.
His improvements in scoring, in rebounding and in passing to his teammates have helped give Kearns a taste of success this year. With 11 wins in their first 19 games this season, the Cougars are performing better than the program has in several decades.
"This is the best-chemistry team I've ever been on, and we've got a lot of talent this year," Goodman says. "It's been really good, because when I'm double-teamed, I can just hand off to guys who can make those shots. It's hard to guard us this year."
But with winning comes a desire for more, and Cosby burns with it for his program and players. He doesn't want Kearns to be satisfied with a playoff berth he wants the Cougars to do something with it.
Similarly, when Cosby sees a 12-point, nine-rebound night for Goodman in a Jan. 18 win over Viewmont, he sees the potential for more. The 38-point performance Goodman had against West on Feb. 8 is more in line with what he expects.
It's not fair, Cosby is the first to acknowledge. But expectations are hardly ever fair for players with Goodman's level of talent.
"It's just how it is: My philosophy is if you say you're a [Division 1] player, go out and be a D1 player," he said. "People should know it when they see it. You have to have that desire to work hard and win."
The relationship between the two is more familial than confrontational, however. Five days a week, Cosby drives Goodman from practice to his home in Sandy. For the commute, they talk about basketball: how the great college coaches schemed; what their advice was to their star players; what it takes to be a D1 college athlete.
At the moment, Goodman is straddling the line. Though he has great size for a high-school center, he'll likely be a wing or a stretch forward at the college level. That means working on his outside shot, his ball-handling, his face-up game. He has more junior colleges interested than D1 programs at this point.
No one knows what technical flaws need to be fixed more thoroughly than Goodman, who spent the summer going against Utah State-committed AAU teammate Jalen Moore in practice. It was humbling, he said, unlike practice at Kearns where he's the biggest and best.
"I have to be able to extend the floor, so I have to work on my shot," Goodman said. "I'm trying to finish up the season strong, show what I can do. I realize people see me as a leader, and what I do results in a win or a loss."
It's a tough burden, but one Goodman must bear if Kearns is to be productive this postseason. A year ago, he put on an aerial show on fast breaks, but the Cougars were blown out by Lone Peak in a first-round loss.
Cosby has only a few more car rides left with his talented forward. He hopes that in at least one of those chats, he'll say the right thing that will steer his teenage phenom closer to a promising future.
"He's been getting frustrated because teams beat him up physically, and they try to get in his head," Cosby says. "I've just been telling him, 'Raise up, Dayon. Raise up on everybody, and no one can touch you.' "

Video: Kenwood Excelon Reference Fit amplifiers
Super thin amps fit in more places
Zak Billmeier grew up in southern Vermont and coastal Maine. After graduating from Mary Washington College with a Geography degree he still isn't sure quite what to do with, he eventually settled in the mountains of Central Virginia. He spends his free time chasing his daughter around, taking pictures, gardening and cooking. He joined Crutchfield's car A/V writing team in 2007 and is now a lead producer on our video team.
More from Zak Billmeier
The Reference Fit line of amplifiers from Kenwood Excelon packs a ton of power into a small chassis. These amps hit hard and can fit into tight spaces, if needed. And with mono, 4-channel, and 5-channel versions available, you're sure to find one that fits into your car audio upgrade plans.
Video Transcript
Zak: I'm at the Kenwood booth at CES 2013 and Matt, tell us about the new Excelon Reference Fit amplifiers.
Matt: So we'll have three new amplifiers in the Reference Fit line, which are designed to be a really small chassis with a lot of power. The two — XR600-1 and the XR400-4 model — will only be 1-1/8" deep but will offer a lot of power. The Excelon XR600-1 will be 700 watts x 1 at 2-ohms and the XR400-4 will be 60 watts x 4 and can be bridged to be used with a subwoofer or high range speakers. So the XR900-5 basically combines the X600-1 and X400-4 into one chassis. It will offer a 60 x 4 4-channel amplifier as well as a 700 x 1 mono amplifier that can be ran at 2-ohms.
Zak: That's the Excelon Reference Fit amplifier line.

Report: Apple's Steve Jobs Received Liver Transplant and is Recovering
Jason Mick
June 20, 2009 11:45 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple observers noticed that CEO Steve Jobs' health dramatically decreased in 2008. Mr. Jobs reportedly has received a liver transplant and is currently recovering, eagerly awaiting a return to Apple at the month's end.
(Source: WSJ)
Apple's CEO and cofounder hopes to put his health problems behind him
Founding one of tech industry's biggest players -- Apple -- and personally turning the company around in the late nineties was nothing compared to the challenge that Apple CEO Steve Jobs faced in 2004. Battling a rare and deadly form of pancreatic cancer, Mr. Jobs recovered thanks to surgery and reassumed his leadership role at the company, integrally helping to conceive, develop and release hit products such as the iPhone and MacBook Air.
Last year, though, many observers took note that Mr. Jobs looked sickly at public appearances. Sure enough, in January of this year he took
medical leave
, announcing he would be gone from Apple on medical leave until the end of June. In his absence Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook took over many of the day to day duties.
Now details of Mr. Jobs' medical battle, veiled in secrecy, have at last emerged. According to a
by the
Wall Street Journal
Mr. Jobs received a liver transplant in Tennessee two months ago. Mr. Jobs had earlier this year had relocated from California to Tennessee, a state known for having a shorter waiting list for organ transplants. At the time
had reported that Mr. Jobs was applying for a liver transplant.
Apple spokespeople contacted by the
to seek confirmation of the sourced reports refused to comment, merely reiterating that Apple "continues to look forward to returning at the end of June, and there's nothing further to say." According to the
report, COO Cook may take over additional roles to help Mr. Jobs during his recovery.
Earlier this year it was discovered that Mr. Jobs was receiving hormone therapy. Reportedly he was unable to digest food properly and receive nutrients. The liver is an integral part of hormone production, and also produces bile, needed for digestion. The liver is very sensitive to toxins, and can be damaged by chemotherapy, which Mr. Jobs likely received during his cancer treatment.
Liver transplant recipients have a 58 percent chance of surviving 15 years. Liver transplants have been performed since 1967; the liver was the second organ to be successfully transplanted, with the kidneys being the first.
Mr. Jobs is currently 54. Apple fans are eagerly awaiting
his return
, as he has always pushed the company and given it a
creative spark
. Apple released its latest hot offering -- the iPhone 3G S --
this Friday
. Apple also announced new MacBook Pros, detailed its new OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard), and revealed Quicktime X. Speculation has already begun that the company is preparing a major refresh to its iPod lineup for the fall.
"I modded down, down, down, and the flames went higher." -- Sven Olsen

Green Bay Scores Twice in Rain-Shortened Scrimmage
GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay women's soccer team scored two goals on Monday afternoon against Olivet Nazarene before the scrimmage was called early due to inclement weather at Santaga Stadium. The Phoenix led 2-0 at the half, and after two minutes of play into the second half the match was called because of lightning.
Heidi Hartmann (Plymouth, Minn.) scored the first goal of the evening after breaking through the Olivet Nazarene defense and putting one past the keeper. Hartmann would play a part later in the half after tallying an assist on the second goal of the match.
"We saw a lot of positive elements to our game in the first half that we can continue to build on and execute throughout the regular season," Burke said.
Hartmann fed the ball to Emily Friedl (Kenosha, Wis.), who then worked through the visitors' backline and patiently knocked one in after the ball deflected off the side of an Olivet defender.
The Phoenix defense looked tight and compact throughout the first half, which was also highlighted by a few Nastacia Behle (St. Paul, Mo.) saves. Strong midfield play also propelled the Phoenix a 2-0 shutout performance.
"A great standard has been set by this team and we are excited to begin our non-conference shedule at home this weekend," Burke said.
The squad can now turn its focus to the 2014 season-opener, which will take place this Friday (Aug. 22) at home against IUPUI. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m.

Dear Classmates,
It's that time again. Another progress report. The months are ticking off rapidly and it will be September before we know it. All indications are that we are headed for a great turnout and a great reunion. Attendance should be fantastic. Only 14 of our classmates have sent word so far, that they will be unable to join us for the celebration of our lives . . . and to celebrate our lives! This is all about us! And we are definitely worth it. While a number of our classmates do have serious issues and simply are not able to make the trip they have sent wishes for a great time for the rest of us. We will miss them – each and every one. But a remarkable number of us appear to be up to the challenge and have already made plans to attend. Yeah for us!
At this time (and I might add, well ahead of the June 30th deadline), 18 have already sent their submissions for the memory book, As Time Goes By. So if you have not sent your story yet, look ashamed, and get with the program. We expect the rest of you to submit your stories very shortly. No need to wait for the deadline. We are ready for you! If your story is ready but the picture is not, please do now wait to send both at the same time. Please send the text (350 words maximum) now so we can get that part completed.
And the request for your story applies even more so to those 14 of you who are unable to attend. If you are one of the 14, please do share the story of your life with the rest of us. You have some very inspiring stories and some pretty interesting ones, as well. You are all a part of us and our special time so please, let us hear from you in the coming month. Having been a teacher, I have to remind you that you are not excused from this assignment just because you cannot attend! You have even a greater reason to send your story. Let's hear it!
Twenty-three of our beloved classmates are no longer with us, but what a tribute it would be to have someone who knew that classmate write a bit about that friend. If you feel so inclined to write a tribute about one of our deceased classmates, I will put you in touch with anyone else who might be interested in writing about that person so you can collaborate. In case you are wondering who has gone ahead, I'm sure you will remember with great fondness:

Farmington tax rate up 4.7 percent
On Nov. 5, the N.H. Department of Revenue Administration set the overall tax rate at $21 per $1,000 of local valuation. It is $1 - or 4.76 percent - greater than last year's rate of $20.
The total tax rate is broken down as follows: $6.65 for the town, $9.87 for local schools, $2.18 for state schools and $2.30 for the county.
Last year, it was $7.13 for the town, $8.12 for local schools, $2.35 for state schools and $2.40 for the county.
While the town portion decreased 48 cents, the local school portion rose $1.75 due to a combination of less revenue and a smaller fund balance than the previous year, according to business administrator Jeanette Lemay.
Lemay said the district returned $151,000 to help offset taxes, as compared to $710,000 in 2011. She added a new law will allow school districts to ask residents - via warrant articles - to retain 2 percent of their fund balance for emergencies.
"There was a drop in revenue of about $1 million," Lemay said, adding the district no longer receives state building aid since taxpayers paid off the bond for Valley View Community School, which educates students in kindergarten through grade 3.
Lemay said the district plans to shift personnel to create new programs - like chemistry - as part of the ongoing budget process.
The overall valuation of the town increased by $5,556,203 - or 1.2 percent - from $467,620,120 to $473,176,323.

Wojta Dominates with Program Record 12 Steals in 88-53 win
By: Jill Wunrow
MILWAUKEE, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - Senior Julie Wojta (Francis Creek, Wis.) dominated the first half en route to lead No. 17/14 Green Bay (13-0, 3-0 HL) to an 88-53 win over in-state rival Milwaukee (4-9, 0-3 HL) Saturday at the Klotsche Center in Milwaukee. Wojta grabbed a program and conference-record 12 steals in Green Bay's 29th consecutive regular season win over a Horizon League opponent.
"Great game for the Phoenix it was tight in the first half and then we went to the buzz and Julie kept knowing where they were going to throw the ball," said head coach Matt Bollant who has never lost to the Panthers.
The game appeared to start as if it would be a back and forth battle throughout with six lead changes in the opening seven minutes. At the 14:03 mark, Milwaukee's Angela Rodriguez drained a three to give the Panthers the 12-10 lead before Wojta answered with a jumper on the next possession to knot it 12-12.
Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) scored two of her nine points at the 13-minute mark, giving the Phoenix the lead for good (14-12).
After Milwaukee's Courtney Lindfors grabbed a defensive rebound at the 11:44 mark, Wojta took it right back out of the hands of Lindfors before capitalizing when Ritchie found her on the right wing for the three and the 17-12 advantage.
Wojta led Green Bay a 24-0 run with 15 points, including three from beyond the arc, seven steals and two assists in 12 minutes of play.
"The run just came within the flow and because of the ball pressure a lot of times I happen to be at the right place at the right time," Wojta humbly said of her performance.
With 8:27 to play in the first half, Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) found Wojta for her third three of the contest to boost the Phoenix lead to 19 (31-12) before Ritchie added a three of her own after a Panther turnover.
Green Bay's defense forced 10 turnovers while holding the Panthers scoreless for over six minutes of play until sinking a pair of free throws with 7:42 remaining in the first half.
"That run was pretty amazing not only by Julie but by our entire team moving the ball and the ball pressure we put on their guards," said Bollant of the impressive run. "Milwaukee was throwing the ball where they weren't comfortable which was helping us get the steals we were able to."
With just under six minutes to play, Wojta had a career high nine steals before posting her seventh double double of the season with 10 steals and 17 points with 3:54 to play in the opening half. Green Bay went into the lockerroom with a commanding 47-21 lead as Wojta had 19 points, 11 steals and five assists in 19 minutes of play.
"At halftime we talked about showing competitive maturity, handling things the right way and the way we did that was by playing everyone," Bollant said of his approach in the second half.
Wojta scored eight points in the first six minutes in the second half while grabbing her 12th steal of the game, setting a new Horizon League record. The NCAA single game record for steals is 14.
"I knew she was getting close to our program record, I didn't know how close she was to the NCAA record and even if I did I'm not sure I would've done anything any different," Bollant said of the decision to take Wojta out of the game as planned. "We think about doing the right things and to leave a player in for something like a record and risk injuries is not smart."
With the game in hand at the half, Bollant was able to play every player for at least 12 minutes with everyone scoring for the Phoenix and Wojta leading all players with 27. Jenny Gilbertson (Wabasha, Minn.) scored a career-high 12 points while going 4-for-6 from the field in 18 minutes of play. Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) finished the game with 10 points after scoring eight in the first half, including two three pointers.
As a team, Green Bay dished out a season high 27 assists on 32 field goals while extending its regular season winning streak to 33 games. Its 59-percent shooting for the game was the second highest of the season for the Phoenix as it scored 36 points off Milwaukee's 27 turnovers before finishing with a season-high 88 points in the win.
UP NEXT: Green Bay will continue Horizon League road play Thursday, Jan. 12 as it travels to Dayton, Ohio to battle Wright State at 6 p.m. The Phoenix wraps up its travels with a stop at Detroit Jan. 14.

HPA Core Interlock Performance Motor Mounts are designed for comfort without compromise.
Our upgraded mounts reduce motor flex to improve torque transfer to the drivetrain, and prevent excessive movement under hard acceleration. Shifter engagement is faster and easier and stability is improved. These mounts will solidify the engine's connection to the chassis while still isolating its vibrations from the cabin.
The unique Core Interlock design was born to balance sensitive chassis harmonics while maintaining a comfortable feel of the engine at idle.
Unlike other urethane inserts which merely reinforce the OEM rubber mount; this is a completely re-engineered one stop solution that will control the engines motion without the need to install aftermarket side mounts.
HVW-904-90 Pendulum ("Dog Bone") Mount Applications
Mk5 R32, Audi A3 3.2, TT 3.2
The HPA Core Interlock Motor Mount is available in four different durometers for the Mk5 and Mk6 platforms. They are physically interchangeable allowing you to fine tune the comfort vs. performance level to suit your driving style. Each durometer offers a distinct driving characteristic and is recommended for the following applications:
- HVW-904-75 softest durometer, ideal for Mk5/Mk6 TDI daily driver
- HVW-904-80 soft durometer, ideal for Mk6 Golf/Jetta/GTI daily driver
- HVW-904-85 medium durometer, ideal for the 4 cyl. Mk5, Golf R, and Audi TTS
- HVW-904-90 harder durometer, ideal for the 6 cyl. Mk5 R32, Audi A3, TT, TTRS
The reviews are in:
I was super happy with the HPA Interlock from day one. Much quicker shifts, not really any noticable vibes in car, super easy to install took under hour from start to finish.
No insane vibrations or buzzing. Its quite comfortable.
Just for sake of putting it out there, my vibrations have reduced since it was first installed.
The mod is worth it...wow does this thing help smooth out the power delivery in the first few shifts from a stop...feels much better and seems like it comes off the line quicker and more purposeful.
Definitely a noticeable improvement. Was much more noticeable when I switched to M mode, smoother shifts and a more planted feel, the herky jerky unsafe-feeling downshifts have been pretty much thwarted. Can't wait to flog it in some twisties! It is so choice. If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up.
Our Dog Bone Mounts are available for only $189.00 + $15.00 Standard Shipping to Continental US and Canada. International inquires should contact us directly for a shipping quote.
Orders can be placed by PayPal through our website, or by calling HPA directly at 604.598.8520.

Carl Jenkinson believes that his new contract with Arsenal is a big pledge of commitment from both player and club.
The 20 year-old right back penned a long-term deal this week, along with four of his team-mates, and says he is thrilled to form part of what could well be the Club's backbone for many years to come.
"Obviously I'm over the moon - really happy," Jenkinson told Arsenal.com. "I see my future at this football club and I'm delighted they see things the same way.
"Signing the contract shows commitment from me, which Arsenal can always count on, but it's a big commitment from them as well. People here clearly have belief in me, and now I have to make sure I prove them right."
The lifelong Gooner was plying his trade for Charlton Athletic, then of League One, just 18 months ago, and he admits that he has been on quite a journey during that time.
"I'm obviously really pleased with my progress over the past 18 months," he said. "Of course there have been some challenging times along the way, and I've had to work really hard, but I'm pleased with where I am now and I'm so happy with the new contract.
"Now I just need to take every day as it comes, working and training hard."
Fellow young British players Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs and Aaron Ramsey joined Carl in signing new contracts.
"A big thing has been made of the fact that we're all British boys, and obviously that's great," said Jenkinson. "The guys who signed at the same time as me are all excellent young players and close friends of mine.
"I'm delighted not just for myself but for everyone else – it's great for the Club as a whole, as well as for the players. We want to be playing with the best and believe we can do that here."
If that means forming part of a team with an English base, then it will only be a positive thing in Carl's eyes.
"We're an English club and I think the core of the squad should reflect that," he said. "That's why I'm delighted the other boys have signed up with me.
"Arsenal has such a vast scouting system that it can pick up great players from numerous other countries, and that will always be the case, but I think it's fantastic and appropriate to have an English core. It's something the [English] fans can relate to."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Gender inequality in workplaces and in homes around the globe reflects individual attitudes and abilities, intra-household bargaining and legal and socio-cultural influences. Research that considers factors across the individual, household and cultural levels simultaneously is essentially nonexistent. This paper explores how gender attitudes are shaped by the national context, how these shape intra-household bargaining, and how women's and men's lives at work and at home are altered in the process.

Check this site out-loads of info there.
The towel like pads are more for waxing.
I don't think anyone here uses them, at least I never have.
Don't confuse compounding (buffing) with waxing.
We call it buffing but actually painters are talking about compounding.
When we buff paint the buffer throws off the compound as you go,
there's very little to wipe off afterwards-just the slinging overspray.
The compounds have no wax or silicones so new paint can
still dry and/or cure. If you're buffing old paint you can wax afterwards.
The foam pads last a long time, if you can keep from tearing them.
Wash them afterwards and they're fine.
You can also use a wool pad on your buffer, they're much more aggresive
and I don't recommend them for an inexperienced person.
It's real easy to burn through the paint with one.
Any foam pad will work for you, even the cheap ones, it's just the better
more expensive ones work better and quicker.
With different grit compounds you could use one pad for everything.
Once you practice on something a lot more will make sense.
Try a panel like your car door and see, just keep it moving and always
keep the pad spinning away from the edges, be very careful around
the edges. If you have two edges, like between two doors, tape one
to keep from buffing into it.
what about craftsman pads? are they good enough?
im still confused on pads. the round towel-like pads i have are for cutting, and the only thing i should use is the foam pad if i take the paint to 2000 grit. so the foam pad is used once and then it has to be cleaned right? or is it thrown away? im toast. i saw a kit on sears that said it was one pad for applying other to take off and a swirl remover.
to add into this dilema im buffing my future paint job: black and a friends car(to earn a couple bucks while i finish mine) that is black too.
i looked thru the Knowlegde base and i didnt find anything about it but ill look again. if its there a link would be appreciated. Thanks
The foam pad is all you need.
The pad that came with your buffer is probably pretty
low quality-I'd get a good pad to start.
There are different grades of foam, heavy cutting, polishing, and
fine swirl removing. Basically all of them will fit into one of these
3 groups.
You won't need a cutting pad unless you're removing sanding scratches
from leveling out new paint. Even then, depending on how fine you
sand, a polishing foam will work fine. Usually above 2000 grit.
Meguiars makes some good foam pads and compounds to go with it.
I use their yellow polishing pad with their #2 compound on existing
finishes and new paint too. It does pretty good.
You'll have to experiment to see what works for you.
Everyone has different preferences, to many to list here.
Google the Meguiars products and see what might sound right for you.
There's a bunch and it does get confusing but it's not near as hard
as you think.
I bought some "System One X3" compound off of Ebay that claims to do
it all. I am impressed, it does a good job. That may be all you need
with a couple of different pads.
Just go slow, and keep it moveing.
please i need help!!! here are the pics of the buffer. i understand that the coarser bonnet is for applying the compound and the softer is for taking it off. i know applying has to be done wetting the surface and that i have to use a low speed. does the bonnet looks right? do i need extra bonnets(i think i need a glazing pad)? do i have to use the foam thing for other than holding the bonnets? What product is good on old finish??
please im an complete newbie on this. i need help and still i havent found a nice toturial on this. i have read 3 books on bodywork none had enough on this.
the pics:
the kit and the bonnet on the buffer.
buffing fresh paint, buffing old paint help!!(now with pics)
well ive been working on my car for a couple months now, its almost ready for paint and i already have people waiting for me to do some work for them. well i have a problem, as everything related bodywork i have zero experience in buffing paint, the difference is i cant find info on it as i did with bodywork. ive search numerous times here in theforums, with google, and i dont seem to find a good article that teaches how to do it. the first person that wants work done wants a panel painted and the whole car buffed, and i have my car to buff(fresh paint, not yet painted though). ihave 3m perfect it for my car but i dont have anything for the other car or the remote idea of what to use on an old finish. i need help desperately. i have a 1000-3000 variable speed 30$ harborfreight buffer/polisher.
i need info on this or even videos if there are in the internet that i can watch.
thanks for the input

John Harrigan: Lost outdoors? Not me, just temporarily misplaced
JOHN HARRIGAN | September 07. 2013 6:58PM
OK, a flashback here from my Clarksville Pond days living with Rudy and Joan Shatney. This is where I more or less grew up.
And so off I went with four clients and Rudy's father, Arnold, a man with a lot of years on his feet, into the depths of Labrador - not the Canadian province, but the northern New Hampshire swamp. Well, all right, it's marked on the top of maps as a brook surrounded by firm ground, but believe me, most of it's a swamp.
At that time, I knew the Clarksville-Stewartstown territory like the back of my hand. Wait - the back of my hand now has assorted scars and broken fingers. But so does the land.
There was this place off the main bridge over Deadwater. My memory and instincts said to take the road to the old Raymond Ricker place, which would have been right. But we didn't, and took a left. Blame it on overgrown vegetation, many new tracks on the land and decaying slush on the mind (mine).
Somewhere, just over a ridge or two, beyond the Great Beyond, was home.

text: Hello everybody. I've been a member since last year, but was never able to introduce myself. My name is Adam Espinosa. I live on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in South Dakota. I consider myself more of a "Boba Fett Fan", then a "Star Wars Fan". I was first introduced to the character of Fett when I was a child. My father used to like cruising looking for coins as a means to pass time, and as a hobby. Once such outing he returned from yielded a very curious Action Figure. He found said Figure on the ground, and brought it home for me ( As I've grown up terrible poverty ). Surprised to say, I had no clue who or what the figure was. That was until I watched TESB on a whim, and behold! The rest is history, and Boba Fett has since become a central, and defining aspect of my life. I only come to TDH to windowshop. I know I could never afford to put together my own Fett. Well, that's me! Expect me to be around asking redundant questions that I will never be able to apply the answers to. Thanks!

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Borders has announced its participation in Google's Local Availability feature, a national service that provides customers with a fast, easy and convenient way to search for books and other products at participating retailers. The company also announced it's teamed with Meetup to enable consumers to discover enriching family-friendly events in their communities. In the coming weeks, Borders will have a dedicated page on Meetup Everywhere accessible via Borders.com, enabling customers to find Borders' kids parties, storytime events, musical performances, national author readings and book signings as well as other activities happening in their communities.

After his two seasons as the Iowa Lakes Community College men's basketball graduate assistant, Mike Annese has accepted an assistant coach position at Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri.
The Bulldogs ended last season with a 10-17 overall record and 7-11 in the Missouri/Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA). Truman State shifted to the Great Lakes Valley Conference on July 1, 2013. They are also a member of NCAA Division II athletics.
"Very excited for Mike and his opportunity at Truman State," said Laker Head Coach Troy Larson. "Being at Truman under Matt Woodley will be an a great place for Mike to learn and to continue to develop as a coach."
While at Iowa Lakes, Annese helped lead the Lakers to a 43-22 record, in which they won the Iowa Community College Athletic Conference (ICCAC) regular season title for the first time in school history and the Region 11 championship resulting in Iowa Lakes 4th national tournament appearance. He also earned a master's degree in Higher Education through Iowa State University.
"This is what our graduate assistant program is all about, have professionals get their masters and then move on to the next level," Larson commented. "Mike did an outstanding job for us and worked extremely hard. He has a bright future as a coach – we will miss him."
Prior to his two seasons as a graduate assistant, Mike played collegiately at Colorado State University, where he played three seasons under head coach Tim Miles.
