I'm not sure if these will show up at my Ross, but I will definitely be on the lookout for them.ReplyDelete
I'm looking forward to these, especially that orange looking one!ReplyDelete
It seems that Magnetics will be trendy this year...Actually I'm not sure the magnet-in-cap feature will be very handy, I'm eager to read some reviews!ReplyDelete
Looks like magnetic polish will be the big thing of 2012. I love Color Club and will maybe try one of these out. The red one, if any. :)ReplyDelete
This will be fun to have magnetics that are easier for many of us to get IF they release them through Sally's that is. But like most collections, Sally's never get enough. I see a run on these before it even gets released!ReplyDelete
At least these are more affordable! I hate having to buy the magnet separate - I'm looking at you China Glaze.ReplyDelete
I agree with maisenzasmalto,everyone seems to be jumping on the magnetic polish wagon,the way they did last year to the crackle,LOL! I like these. If it comes to Ross,I will definitely pick them up!ReplyDelete
I'm glad they're most magnetic polishes showing up. Hopefully they aren't as expensive as some other brands.ReplyDelete
Wow! Different bottles from Color Club! That's news to me :D A magnetic collection, sounds nice! It's their first, isn't it?ReplyDelete
More fun colors to play with :)ReplyDelete

KANNAPOLIS, NC. - The North Carolina men's golf team fired an 8-over-par 292 to capture the team's first tournament win this spring season and second this year while giving Head Coach Andrew Sapp his second win at North Carolina and 10th for his career. The team struggled on the front nine, scoring a 9-over-par 149, but refocused and combined for a 1-under-par 143 on the back nine. North Carolina ended the tournament at 7-over-par 859. Andy Sajevic led the Tar Heels on Sunday by shooting an even-par 71 on Sunday, knocking in three birdies and three bogeys.
Sajevic, a junior from Fremont, Neb., finished the tournament tied for fourth. Sophomore Brandon Dalinka, from Newtown, Pa., had a solid round, carding three bogeys and two birdies for a 1-over 72 and finished tied for 23rd at 5-over 218. Senior Michael McGowan ended his tournament by shooting a 2-over-par 73. The Southern Pines, N.C. native finished third overall for the tournament at 2-under-par 211. Bailey Patrick, a sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., and Keagan Cummings, a freshman from Dublin, Ireland, both shot a 5-over 76 on Sunday. Both Patrick and Cummings recorded a birdie with four bogeys and one double bogey. Patrick tied for 23rd at 5-over 218 while Cummings tied for 47th at 11-over 224. Senior Patrick Barrett, playing as an individual this tournament, had his best round of the tournament on Sunday. Barrett, from Pinehurst, N.C., ended the round at 4-over-par 75 for a 229 total, tying him for 74th.
Sapp talked about his team's perseverance and the importance of the win for the team, "This was a hard fought win. We got off to a poor start and at one point we were in fourth place, but the guys played very well on the more difficult back nine and grinded out this win. It is not only great to get another victory on the year leading into ACCs, but this helps us qualify for NCAA Regionals. I am so proud of how the guys stayed strong and never gave up."
The Tar Heels claimed the number one spot on the leaderboard at 7-over 859, beating NC State, which carded an 861, by two strokes. Kennesaw State and Charlotte tied for third at 14-over 866 Davidson College and UNCW tied for fifth at 869. Kansas took seventh after shooting 872 and Mercer took eighth at 877. VCU, Richmond, and Akron all tied for ninth at 879.
Jimmy Beck of Kennesaw State had the best score by an individual at 8-under-par 205. Charlotte's Franco Castro was a stroke shy of Beck at 7-under 206 after firing a 6-under 65 in the final round. Carolina's McGowan took third at 2-under 211. Five players tied for fourth at 1-under 212 – Carolina's Sajevic, NC State's Albin Choi, Davidson's Richard Fountain, UNC Wilmington's Payne McLeod and Richmond's Daniel Walker. Alex Gutesha of Kansas took ninth at even-par 213 and five players tied for 10th at 1-over-par 214.
The 54-hole event was played at The Club at Irish Creek which features a par 71, 7,099-yard layout. The Tar Heels compete next at the ACC Championships in New London, N.C. The ACC Championships begin Friday April 26 and end Sunday April 28.

Attendees at CONEXPO-CON/AGG who heard Timon Kaple sing "Troubled Times" didn't seem to relate to his lyrics.
Kaple, a Boston-area musician, was in the Stihl booth, playing the custom-built Cutquik Peavey guitar, a prize in the exhibitor's contest. "Everyone who stops to listen seems to be in good spirits, or maybe they just like my music," said Kaple.
With the economy struggling, one might have expected low attendance. Instead, the show at the Las Vegas Convention Center in March shattered records. More than 144,600 people attended; 2182 exhibitors displayed their products in more than 2.28 million square feet.
There was definitely a buzz. Practically every exhibitor used the event to initiate new product launches or explain a major improvement. Everywhere, one could hear buzzwords such as green, Tier IV emissions, integrated technology, and fuel efficiency.
The show demonstrated that the construction equipment market is not limited to North America. International giants such Caterpillar, Liebherr, Komatsu, JCB, Volvo, and Cummins reported on their global strategic plans. More than 28,000 of those who attended (19% of the total) hailed from 130 countries outside the U.S. This is a 30% increase from 2005.
Here are some of the more interesting products THE CONCRETE PRODUCER staff found.
Electrifying news
Among the more electrifying introductions was Caterpillar's D7E—the first electric drive, track-type tractor using modern technology. The unique power system delivers higher productivity, reduced fuel consumption and operating costs, and longer drivetrain component life.
The D7E will be in the 60,000-lb weight range and powered by a Cat C9 engine, producing 235 hp. Compared to the D7R Series II, the D7E will deliver 25% more material moved per gallon of fuel, 10% greater productivity, and 10% lower lifetime operating costs.
The diesel engine drives a generator to produce electricity that powers two AC electric drive motors, which are connected to a differential steering system. A traditional mechanical transmission isn't needed because the variable-speed electric motors serve as a continuously variable transmission. Caterpillar Inc. 800-368-6029. www.cat.com.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|great review, thanks
Now Selects with Flushcups
Whats up everyone! This is my first post, sorry if I'm overly nerdy. I have a pair of the Now Selects and Ive been riding them pretty much all season here so far in Utah. I mostly ride at Brighton, which is pretty sick for every type of riding you want to do.
First off, I am so down with Now bindings. I didnt think much of bindings until I got these. As far as I was concerned, they were pretty much all the same, it just depended on the flex of the binding. There's some fancy crap on some bindings across the lines but generally speaking they are the same concept. I feel like the Now bindings are a completely different concept and bring a better, more natural way to ride.
I ride a Rome Reverb 149 or 151 for the park and a Burton Stone Hut 150 (SICK) and a Juice Wagon 153. Im a smaller dude, 56 140 lbs.
I rode with the highback on the first day and it was great, but it felt like the highback was kind of in the way. I put the flushcups on with the medium bushing on my Reverb and rode with them. From the very first run I knew that was without a doubt they were the best binding Ive ever had. Last season I was riding Burton Malavitas which were also sick, but nothing compares to what I feel when I ride now/Now. <<ha
The Now bindings do have a narrow heelcup, but it also sits a little higher than other bindings, pinching your ankle in just the right way. It is a little narrow throughout the binding as well, but I have a pair of K2 Maysis boots that are a size 9 that fit just fine with a comfortable pressure on the middle of my foot.
The first thing I noticed is the surfiness of it. It really made me mellow out my ride. I became way more relaxed on my board, a kind of feeling Ive wanted just rocking heels to toes down a groomer. I felt like I could flex my ankles a lot more and the medium bushings gave a smooth response. My heelside turns are way better than theyve ever been, and it feels very natural. With the flushcups, I feel like I am transferring the energy directly from my ankle, and using my glutes, quads, and hamstrings mostly (I work out a little) I put the energy directly to the edge of the board and grip up so well. I can pull out of a heavy heelside landing so much smoother than ever, even when my butts almost on the ground! Even better was that when I want to get aggressive and really bomb groomers, take tree laps, or hit the side hits, the response is there with control and form. Theyve kind of retaught me how to ride properly, which I already felt like I just relearned when I went back to camber after riding flat/rocker boards for 4 or 5 years. This brought everything together for me.
One of my favorite things about them too is the shock absorption. Ive had a few hard landings this season, and I definitely felt a major difference than any other binding Ive had. Its made me much happier and more aggressive as a rider because I tore my ACL a couple years ago and I've never really been the same. I do still hit everything from park to bombing groomers and airing rollers to cliff drops (nothing super heavy but the base has just filled in here, the season hasnt been the best up until the past couple weeks but now its epic!) and every landing is smooth.
I put the soft bushings in and tried them out as well. They were fine, but I preferred the mediums. I put the hard bushings in when I took out the Stone Hut and Juice Wagon, which were mainly pow days. The hard bushings were definitely what I wanted in the pow, especially with the Stone Hut being a wider board. It was a subtle difference, but it helped. I was able to really haul in the powder while maintaining such a surfy ride.
I dont feel that Ive lost anything going to the Now Selects with flushcups. I can see the only way that MAYBE highbacks would be something Id consider would be if I was trying to step my spin game up. Ive been pretty happy just doing mellow grabs and rotations, and a cork here and there. You may not be able to really spin as hard as you would with a highback because there's nothing really to load. In that circumstance, the Drive highback would probably be sick.
Overall, my style has improved and Im way more confident and in control of my riding. I am definitely getting another pair next season. My girlfriend is sold on them too! Shes been riding the Switchback bindings with no highbacks for about a month now and she loves the feel too. I tried the Switchbacks with the highbacks as a demo a couple years ago and they were fun even with the highbacks. I bet theyre also a great binding and fun without highbacks, I think there is just more to the Select than a binding without a highback.
Although Now bindings are awesome I also feel that camber and stiffer boots with an articulated cuff also played a part in edge hold and response. That being said, they all compliment each other well perfectly for me!:signlol:

Hey guys and gals,
Im looking to upgrade my ground blind and one of the blinds im interested in is in the Primos Ground Force Series. The particular model is "The Vision".
Anyone use this blind? And if so, can you give your likes and dislikes to help me make a decision. It would be greatly appreciated. I dont use a blind a whole lot when turkey hunting, because i like to run and gun if i can, but they do have their time and place and are a tool every turkey hunter needs. For me the old Ameristep Dog House just dont cut it for my needs anymore.
Thanks in advance...Adam

Of the practices associated with insects, probably no practice is o widely held as that of Telling the Bees and, although it varies somewhat among peoples, it is invariably a most elaborate ceremonial. If a member of a family marries, the bees should be told, or they will leave the hive and not return. If a member of the family dies, the bees in their hives must be told, or they will die. The procedure is that as soon as the master or mistress has breathed his or her last, a younger member of the household, often a child, is told to visit the hives and rattling a chain of small keys taps on the hive and whispers three times (*) Little Brownies, little brownies, your mistress (master) is dead Little Brownies, little brownies, your mistress (master) is dead Little Brownies, little brownies, your mistress (master) is deadSilence is then observed for a few moments. If the bees begin to hum, they have consented to continue living. A piece of funeral crepe is then tied to the hive and later sweet drink or a piece of funeral cake is brought to the hives for the bees to feed upon. In addition, the bees are often invited to the funeral. The letter to them is written 9in the same hand and terms as that to relatives of the deceased: "You are invited to the funeral of _____ which is to take place at _____, &c, &c."There are many corollary practices associated with the telling of the bees, one of the most important being the 'heaving up' of the hives. This practice requires that on the day of the funeral as the funeral party is preparing to leave the house the hive and coffin are both 'heaved' or lifted at the same moment. It has also been noticed that bees dislike 'bad behavior' and menstruous women. Care must also be taken that no one uses bad language near the hives, as it disturbs and annoys the bees.
Have you read, "Letters From the Hive"? It goes into great detail about this. Seems it was a pretty common practice with ancient Mayan beekeepers. Fascinating book, highly recommend it.Sean Kelly
Yes, Sean, thank you, I will get that book.Annette, this is a little booklet is from a museum, it isn't really a book, although it is officially published by the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Information Press, which is the publishing arm of The Museum of Jurassic Technology. This society is rather intriguing. The little booklet cost $3.00 and it was delivered via First Class mail. I think I ordered it on Saturday, I had it on Monday! Here is a direct link to the booklet.

When it comes to comparing coaching careers, others are green with envy.
Lathrop's Diego Chavez threw for two touchdowns and ran for one to lead the sophomore Spartans to a 37-12 Valley Oak League win over visiting Weston Ranch on Friday.
There may not have been five laterals and there was no Stanford band on the field, but after Thursday the Sierra freshmen football team will forever have its own version of "The Play."
RIPON – Ripon quieted the non-believers with a performance for the ages during its Trans Valley League opener at Stouffer Field.
Alex Laurel followed the herd of Buffalo-sized blockers in front of him, veering outside the tackle box.
LATHROP - And that's how you start a rivalry.
The Sierra High Timberwolves celebrated homecoming Friday by drubbing Kimball, 44-7.
Though his team suffered its third loss in four games, East Union coach Willie Herrera celebrated the positives following Friday's 28-8 loss to the always-tough Oakdale Mustangs.
MARIPOSA – An onside kick had given the Mariposa High Grizzlies hope.
There will be a hint of sadness and nostalgia amid all the excitement of Manteca and Sonora's Valley Oak League opener tonight.
The road to the Valley Oak League championship still goes through The Corral.
If defense wins championships, don't tell that to Sierra head coach Jeff Harbison.
LATHROP - A win tonight would mark several milestones for Lathrop High, which hosts Weston Ranch for homecoming and their Valley Oak League opener tonight.
Ripon didn't face the stiffest of competition this preseason.
LATHROP - The "Battle of I-5" actually began in a small town off of Highway 99 in the late 80s.

Well, I am bummed as I lost my outboard and a replacement outboard is going to be more than I can afford. So, I have a two-man scull boat for sale with oar and lessons. It is four years old, and it is the best scull boat I have ever had. I have had five over the course of forty years. $1200 obo. No trailer. A scull boat is best used during blue-bird days on relatively calm, open water. It is not a good design for iced-up rivers!

Green Bay Opens Tour with 81-69 Win Over Bahamas All-Stars
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
NASSAU, Bahamas (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – Juniors Keifer Sykes (Chicago, Ill.) and Greg Mays (Chicago, Ill.) combined for 39 points and Green Bay opened its foreign tour with an 81-69 victory over the Bahamas All-Stars on Monday night. Mays added 10 rebounds and threw down three dunks in the victory.
For complete stats, click here.
The Phoenix fell behind 6-2 early before Mays scored six-straight points to give the Phoenix the lead for good. Green Bay also used first-quarter dunks from sophomore Josh Humphrey (Chicago, Ill.) and freshman Kenneth Lowe (Little Chute, Wis.) to lead 18-14 after one.
By early in the second quarter, all 10 Phoenix players in uniform had scored. Sykes took over, scoring 13 points in a six-minute stretch as the Phoenix extended its lead to 46-30 at the break. An All-Horizon League performer in 2012-13, Sykes totaled a team-high 20 points. Seniors Alec Brown (Winona, Minn.) and Daniel Turner (McCordsville, Ind.) both missed the game due to injury.
Mays had eight points in the opening half on a pair of dunks and two jumpers, but the 6-foot-9 junior turned it up in the second half. Mays knocked down 7-of-10 free throws and finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Fellow junior Alfonzo McKinnie (Chicago, Ill.) was limited to just 13 minutes because of foul trouble, but the transfer finished with a double-double (10 points, 10 rebounds).
Sophomore Carrington Love (Milwaukee, Wis.) started and was the fourth Phoenix player in double figures, scoring 13 points.
Humphrey, playing his first game since 2011-12 after missing last season with a knee injury, grabbed 10 rebounds as the Phoenix held a 52-36 edge on the glass. Lowe and sophomore Jordan Fouse (Racine, Wis.) each added seven boards. Sykes had four of the team's 12 steals.
Including McKinnie and Lowe (4 points, 7 rebounds), five Phoenix newcomers saw the floor. Tevin Findlay (Toronto, Ontario), Vince Garrett (Chicago, Ill.) and Turner Botz (Little Chute, Wis.) had four points, four points and two points, respectively.
Green Bay will be back on the court on Tuesday night, playing the Cybots at 6 p.m. CT.

By Joe Brewin
Wojciech Szczesny believes it doesn't matter how many saves a goalkeeper makes if it's in a losing cause.
The Pole was superb for the vast majority of Sunday's North London derby, denying certain goals for Scott Parker and Emmanuel Adebayor among others. But his one mistake was punished as Kyle Walker's long-range shot clinched a 2-1 win for Tottenham.
Szczesny has been one of Arsenal's stand-out performers this season - he was the Club's Player of the Month in August - but he left White Hart Lane with regrets despite another fine display.
"If you make good saves you want to take something out of the game," he said. "I made a few good saves but it gave nothing to the team because we lost the game and came out with no points so it doesn't matter really.
"I think in the second half you could see an improvement but we were a little bit too sloppy on the ball and they looked dangerous on the counter attack. In the second half we scored, controlled the game but then gave a silly goal away."
Szczesny held his hands up for that second goal but he had no complaints about Tottenham's first - scored by Rafael van deer Vaart - despite claims that the Dutchman handled the ball before finding the net.
"I didn't see the handball, I thought he controlled it and finished very well," said the Pole. "It was a good finish.
"The second goal I was very disappointed in myself - I shouldn't get beaten from that kind of distance so I will take that myself.
"There was a lot of movement on the ball and I reacted too late. I got a touch on it but it wasn't strong enough. I blame myself for the second one but other than that I didn't think the team deserved to lose the game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Chelsi & Steven
December 1
Mooresville, North Carolina
Q & A with the Bride:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
It aesthetically met our expectations, and it was actually in our budget. We looked at maybe 30 different venues during the search for the perfect place. There were some beautiful venues that we came across, but the prices weren't too beautiful. When we visited The Charles Mack Citizen Center, we knew that aesthetically, it would fit our vision for the wedding and financially, it wouldn't hurt our wallets too much.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
One, the intimacy of the wedding. We wanted to keep the guest list small, and we wanted only our closest friends and family to be present. Two, the joy that everyone seemed to share throughout the day. Even during the stressful moments, everyone was smiling and relaxed. And three, the wintery theme and atmosphere. We're both cold weather people, so it just felt natural to go with a winter themed wedding.
3. If you could offer one piece of advice to other couples planning their wedding, what would it be?
It is possible to set a low budget and still achieve the wedding of your dreams. From the very beginning of the planning process, we kept saying that we weren't going to spend tons of money just for this one day; albeit, a very special day. So we wrote out a budget, and we got creative. Everything turned out exactly as we planned. It was the perfect day.
4. Give us the one moment from your wedding that you can't stop thinking about.
The few minutes following the ceremony; we didn't plan on having a receiving line, but ended up having one anyways. Everyone was crying and hugging, and they seemed genuinely happy for us.

"My family doesn't care for tomatoes so I left those out of the recipe. I used half of a green bell pepper and half of a sweet red pepper. I also added some broccoli and zucchini. I liked the slightly sweet taste of the vegetables, but my husband and son didn't think it had much taste to it. It made an easy meal to simply serve the veggies over rice, but I won't make it again since my family didn't really care for it."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Thanks for the tips Sailorman, I'd sell the kids if it wasn't likely to start a sale of goods/trade descriptions issue!
I'm off sailing for a week now (refresher training) which in the UK is likely to be er... cold.
C U Soon!
Sunbrella is acrylic - which as others have told you, will not dye well... unless you have access to commercial dyeing facilities which can do it. You might be able to talk to a smaller fabric jobber to see if there is anyone in your area who will do it. The chemistry of the dye needs to be compatible with acrylics, and the heat required to set it is relatively high.
Don't have any knowledge of things across the pond, but here in Canada, the dyers are frequently referred to as "fabric converters" as well as dye houses.
It costs about $400.00 a vat to do here...and if you doing a small run, then you have to wait for a down time - the business tends to be very seasonal, so it's not unusual for the plants to slow down.
Otherwise - there is a paint made by Crylon that is designed to bond with plastic - they advertise it here as being ideal for cheap garden furniture - apparently very flexible. Buy a small can and try it on a scrap or hidden piece before you spray everything.
If you choose to use fabric paint, make sure that you get one made for acrylic fabrics, and plan on thinning it and applying many, many coats. Because your fabric has been worn and the finishing has worn off unevenly, the first few coats need to be applied as a primer/base coat. Otherwise you are going to end up with a tie-dyed look.
Something else to think about - if you or someone you know is handy with a sewing machine, buy some nylon and cover the covers. Take the Sunbrella items off of your boat and lay each section flat on top of a large piece of paper. Trace around it for a pattern, then add an allowance to turn under to get a neat edge. Sew the edges under first, then sew it onto the cover. If you get a little creatvie, you can probably get by with just recovering/reinforcing areas of the covers, and not having to do the whole things....
Also - Check out the "Sailrite" website - they sell kits that can save you a lot of money.
Me - I would sell one of the children or the barter a kidney or something and get new ones...
Thanks Mark, I inherited the covers and thought that they were a good idea. The Boat is in salt water all the time and the winches are like new under the covers. to be honest, the winch covers etc are easily re-makeable. I like your idea about gettin the sailmaker to reverse the Genoa cover. I'll try that idea thanks.
PS Love the pic of your Boat. Looks superb
Your other consideration is do you really need all these covers? Waymar (our Jeanneau) is 1983 vintage and never had winch covers as far as I know. (We sail out of Kingston, Ontario so that means 5-6 months a year and no salt water spray and no dust storms.) Winches work just fine.
If you really want to keep the covers ( including the genoa cover), you can also ask the sailmaker to reverse the zippers/fasteners etc.
If the sailmaker is still asking too much, you can also shop around to someone who has a heavyduty sewing machine. (e.g. furniture upholsterer or shoe/leather repair).
Of course this does not work for the dodger...
Good luck. I also agonise over what is nonetheless perfectly serviceable and yet does not meet the better half's standards for esthetic.
|I think that looks great Mark and is a cool idea. My G/F on the other hand would not be happy unless everything was the same colour! There are covers on everything wheel, winches you name it. These minor items can be home made as replacements but the boat also has a fully zipped Genoa cover which is a more complicated affair/can't be reversed as far as I know (will check though, thanks) and costs $650 to replace according to the sailmaker. The boom cover is substantially less but is still in excellent condition apart from the UV fading as are the others.
If you are talking mostly about the covers for the mainsail, winch, BBQ, etc, (as opposed to the dodger or bimini), have you tried simply reversing the covers.
I did that with the mainsail cover (it was just as faded as the dodger in the pic). Reversed, it looks great except for the more visible stitching.

|IIRC, the white sunbrella is the material that breaks down the fastest... the darker colors have better UV resistance. The color won't fade on the white ones...but it might yellow, and it can stain pretty easily.
I agree with Sailingdog on the issue of breath-ability that needs further investigation. I think the weight issue is perhaps not so important after all, these things are locker bound when underway are they not? Furthermore, the product can be thinned and sprayed on it appears. As for UV, my initial point was that the UV damaged the colour but not the fabric itself. I'm not being overly miserly, it's just that it seemed a shame if not environmentally wasteful to dump covers simply because of the fading. I wonder if the once breathable Sunbrella could be ventilated with vent studs to make up for the plastic tool dip solution?
It is nice to see such interest in my humble question. I do however view the option of simple replacement as simply 'giving in' and not improving the 'status quo'. Having said this, I think those that buy white covers initially, buy wisely indeed!

Many people enjoy eating apples and oranges, but in the end they are still just apples and oranges. The R32 is passion fruit. . Live Long and Prosper.
The car that I have that a mechanic might want to take joyriding doesn't go to a dealer (or other mechanic). The cars that go to the dealer aren't the kind anyone's taking for a joyride (auto TSX, auto Jetta).
I just took my car a local VW dealer and I believe that my car was mishandled. (Not many in the middle of the state but i wont say the name). I wish that I had a recorder in there. I will have one next time along with a data logger.

Unbelievable. They trash the guy's car then they get surly about it and lawyer up. I hope this is just one more nail in the coffin of dealerships.
Saw this earlier. What dumbasses. Also as the owner says, how long have they been doing this? Chevy customer service though seemed to wipe their hands of the mess, which is dumb as well.
Give the guy a new car, discipline the dealer, fire the techs/ management, etc.
I heard about this yesterday. I drive past this dealer on my way to and from work.
Apparently this has happened before with another dealer, hence the recorder. I'm waiting for it to hit local news.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. --- No. 8 North Carolina swept its way into the ITA National Team Indoor Championships quarterfinals with a 4-0 win over No. 13 Texas A&M Friday afternoon at the Boar's Head Sports Club. The Tar Heels snagged a tight doubles point and got singles wins from Lauren McHale, Caroline Price and Tessa Lyons and will face No. 4 USC Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
All three doubles courts were tight throughout and it would come down a tiebreak on court three to decide the point. After the No. 7 duo of Cristina Stancu and Stefania Hristov outlasted No. 8 Ashley Dai and Whitney Kay on court one, 8-5, UNC (6-0) was left needing both matches to win doubles.
Gina Suarez-Malaguti and Zoe De Bruycker made it one match each by outlasting Cristina Sanchez-Quintanar and Anna Mamalat on court two, 8-5, but McHale and Lyons trailed on court three. The Tar Heel duo faced a pair of match points down 6-7, but Lyons got a winner at 30-40 and then another on the no-ad point to force a tiebreak. Up 6-5 in the breaker, McHale hit a winner of her own to give Carolina the match and the point.
"I think winning doubles really helped us relax in singles," head coach Brian Kalbas said. "We came out really tight in doubles and played a little nervous and up-and-down, but we refocused well for singles."
The Tar Heels took five of six first sets in singles and flexed their lineup depth to sweep their way into the quarters.
No. 65 Lyons was first off, defeating Mamalat on court six, 6-3, 6-2. No. 111 McHale was next, running away from No. 82 Maria Ines Dehaza on court four, 6-4, 6-0.
No. 36 Caroline Price then clinched the match for Carolina, besting Hristov on court five, 6-2, 6-4.
"Our was proud of all of our players today, this was a much tougher match than the scores might indicate," Kalbas said. "For Pichi (Suarez-Malaguti) to take a 6-1 set off of one of the top players in the country was really impressive, and Whitney and Zoe both battled hard to win first sets. Our strength is in our depth and this team is so selfless, they are only interested in the success of the team, not any individual glory."
Carolina will now meet No. 4 USC in Saturday's quarterfinals. That match is scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m. Live scoring is available at VirginiaSports.com.

You probably don't think about body odour all that much, until you're at the gym or on a crowded bus. You roll on your roll-on each morning and that's usually that. From time to time, you may detect a scent emanating near you and wonder, "Could that be me?" You do a quick, discreet sniff test of your armpits and look around to see if anyone noticed or whether the scent could belong to someone else. From where do these offending smells sprout? Why does the human body sometimes emit such a foul stench?
To understand why body odour happens, it helps to know a little bit about sweat. You have about 2 to 4 million sweat glands all over your body, but these millions of glands come in 3 main types - eccrine, apocrine, and apoeccrine sweat glands.
The sweat that cools: Eccrine sweat glands span your body's length, from your head to your feet. From your eccrine glands come the sweat of nervousness, the sweat of exertion, and the sweat in response to heat. Eccrine glands serve a definite function: they help our body adjust its temperature. The sweat from these glands is slightly salty but odourless. You may be wondering about feet, then, and why they smell. The feet can smell because of bacteria that thrive in dark, tight places (like shoes and socks).
The sweat that stinks: Apocrine sweat glands, on the other hand, don't serve a direct purpose. And while they can only be found in a few distinct places - a few of the more intimate or hidden parts of our bodies - the sweat radiating from these spots tends to be the smelliest. Yes, we're talking about the underarms, but we're also talking about the areas around the genitals, nipples, and belly button area. Because of the location of these glands, the theory is that they once served some sexual function. When moisture originates in these spots, it interacts with bacteria on the skin, causing each person's distinct body aroma.
The combo sweat: Apoeccrine sweat glands are, as you can tell, a combination of the other two types of sweat glands. These are found in the underarms and bum areas and they are developed from eccrine glands during puberty. Scientists are unclear on the role of these glands.
Luckily, it's pretty simple to deal with body odour:
- keep yourself clean and shower after especially exerting activities
- use deodorant
- wear natural fibre clothing that lets your skin breathe
- stay active so your body flushes out potential bacteria
- cut back on any foods, like garlic, that seem to cause particularly foul body odour
Everyone sweats when they're hot or nervous or moving around a lot. Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is less common and may be caused by genetics, certain foods or medications, hormonal imbalances, low blood sugar, certain diseases and conditions, or by an unknown source. You should see a doctor if you notice a new or strong scent to your usual body odour or if you're sweating more than usual.

Hi guys, I have a question. Are the majority of members opposed to Boba gauntlets that use an exposed hinge on the inside forearm area due to lack of accuracy? Reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to gauge whether I should move forward with a Boba version of my gauntlet sculpts. Last week a couple of friends converted a pair of my Jango shells to ESB Bobas and they surprisingly turned out very very nice. So I was just wondering what the general consensus was.
Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

In this PDF you can find a lot of (superficial) information on different aproaches to the practice of samatha and vipassana, even in each category you mentioned in your first list. I think both lists are very important.

Re: X-crashing!
We have a similar problem here at the university of Missouri. WRi fixed
some of the crashing problem. They have now a new version of the

To get the new frontend get in touch with Victoria Bush at WRI.

How to compete in the era of "smart"
New research by IBM and NIEIR: Reinventing Australian Enterprises for the Digital Economy
Welcome to our latest research on the impact of digital technology on business and government in Australia, and the changes that are coming in the near future. This new study based on research by the National Institute of Economic and Industry Research (NIEIR) forecasts that significant gaps will open up between major Australian enterprises that actively transform their operations for the digital economy and those that stick to business as usual.
We examine what digital transformation means for individual enterprises. What is at stake for organisations? What metrics do boards, CEOs and other executives need to monitor and improve? What will success look like in an increasingly digital economy? To answer these questions, IBM commissioned original research from NIEIR to form a view of the future for Australian enterprises across seven key sectors: financial services, retail, telecommunications, mining, public administration, health and higher education.
Learn more about how these findings will help you and your enterprise prepare for the era of smart.

IBM Predictive Analytics Reduces Player Injury and Optimises Team Performance for NSW Waratahs Rugby Team
A first-of-a-kind for Australian sport, NSW Waratahs Rugby are using IBM predictive analytics to prevent player injury and ensure the club has the best possible team throughout the rugby season. The analysis, of hundreds of data points on each member of the 35 player squad, predicts the likelihood of a particular player being injured. This provides the insights needed by the NSW Waratahs coaching team to adapt and modify each player's personalised training program to maximise their training load and minimise their risk of injury.

St. Paul's Episcopal Church, K Street, will host its second annual Blessing of Animals service on Saturday, Oct. 5, 2013., at 10:15 a.m. Animals are incredibly important in many lives and countless animals, such as guide dogs, serve important public functions.
"This service provides all members of the community – regardless of whether they are parishioners – an opportunity to give thanks for the special pets in our lives," said Bishop James Jelinek, Interim Rector at St. Paul's, and owner of Nico, a standard poodle.
WHEN: Saturday, Oct. 5 at 10:15 a.m.
WHERE: West lawn of St. Paul's Parish - 2430 K St NW, Washington, DC
WHAT: Clergy conduct a short service and bless the animals present
In addition to giving the neighborhood an opportunity to celebrate the love and companionship that their animals provide them, the short service will allow them to meet others who share the joy of pet ownership. Water bowls and pet tags and treats will be provided.
Founded in 1866, St. Paul's is one of the ten largest parishes of the Diocese of Washington within the Episcopal Church, a member of the worldwide Anglican Communion. The nationally-known parish is only one of a handful of Episcopal churches in the country to hold Mass 365 days a year.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by roscoe36, Jul 21, 2012.
Who is in your Detroit Pistons starting lineup for 2012?
Tayshaun Prince! Then some other guys...
BK Stuck Tay JJ Monroe Three guard rotation with English with spotminutes for Bynum. Singler is first of the bench at SF and Tay should not play over 30 min, more like 25. GM moves to PF when Drummond or Krav plays C. Max gets the last few minutes at PF. Khris and Daye play spot minutes and garbage time (or Wallace, if he is back). Chaz and Maggy in street clothes.
BK Stuck Tay Monroe... and till I see something from somebody else Max start English Magg JJ and Ben to start the season as regular subs... Drummand and the russian getting a steady chance to play and earn more mins though the rest get to show me there best suits.
Knight/Stuckey/Tay/Maxiell/Monroe It was their best lineup last year and it will be their best lineup to start this year.
C - Kravtsov PF - Monroe SF - Daye PG - Knight SG - English
I will be interested to see how they use Monroe while Drummond gets up to speed. Will they start him at the 5 or try to play him mostly at the 4. Aside from Knight and Monroe I don't really cares who starts as long as it isn't CCG or Daye. I'd love it if they could bring Sammy Meija to camp to mentor Kenny English.
Center---Monroe PF--------CV SF---------Tay SG--------Stuckey PG--------Knight
Make sense.
Agree with Laimbrane - but assuming Kravtsov is actually ready, I would like to see this: BK Stuck JJ Monroe Kravtsov
PG - Knight SG - English SF - Jerebko (or Singler) PF - Monroe C - Drummond (or Slava)
Knight-Maggette-Prince-Monroe-Drummond/VyKra We gotta feature Maggette so we can trade him for some value this year. Plus, he gives us size. As much as I hate palm-ball-3pt offense of his, there still hasn't been a player on the roster that has earned the starting SF spot away from Tay; even though I'd love to see JJ at that spot. We have size now, it'll be foolish to not use it, so Drummond or Vykra should start along with Monroe. Stuckey-English-JJ-CV-Drummond/Vykra is your second unit. Nothing can make up for CV's horrid defense, but at least he'll be going up against second tier PFs and the rest of the team are decent defensively. You still have good size and a well balanced team. One of our biggest weakness last year was our second unit blowing leads or digging huge holes. With no more of that Bynum/Gordon horse doo-doo, we should have a better time this year. Maxiell will fill in when Drummond/VyKra will get in the inevitable rookie big man foul troubles. Either that or Singler coming in at the 3 and JJ filling that void. Daye, Bynum, and whoever else is left would be in street clothes.
Starters: BK / Stuckey / Tay / Monroe / Drummond Key Reserves: Bynum / Maggs / JJ Spot Reserves: Maxiel / English / Chaz
Yea, well you left out one human equation. The challenge of counterbalancing the quite-not-right. CV is challenged like never before and hence, probably never again. Never forget, that a lot of personal internal dynamics are working their way out for his whole conception on how astute observers render him....and understanding the way of his tweets. Gone wild, this fellow can average 25 pts. per game as a singular direction. The delta of a concentrated stream flow can drop meandering deposits of the lesser rich topsoil and still enrich secondary seeds. It is no longer shelled into a continious talent, but understands the external flow of using the dynamics of concentrated focus. Meaningful existence means how rich your presence reality constructs on a time scale. Let me make it easy for all. Book it...he will be starting.
Steam flow in Charlie's case.
and he understands about stepping into the same stream twice no matter what the flow.
Knight/Stuckey/Tay/Maxiell/Monroe Off the bench - Bynum (sadly)/Maggette or English/Singler/JJ/Drummond DNP - CV/Kravtsov (sp?)/Daye
Like the delta............I do not see the flow being controlled, and will result in the valuable seed being whisked away.
The delta is the end result of accumulation. It needs cultivation. Remember, all deltas are habitual cycles, like most of us (thought I would sneak that in).
So you see the seed being buried in valuable silt at the end of the delta ? I see it being carried away............more linear than cyclical.

TMQ: great read
It's funny that this guy's brother is one of the most respected US court of appeals judges (he's in Chicago).
I just love this guy's writing style and sarcastic sense of humor.
There are quite a few Ravens references
Ravens Quotes:
"Stats of the Week No. 5: The Ravens outrushed the Buccaneers by 77 yards -- in Tampa."
"Why Tactics Matter: In their openers, two 2005 playoff teams -- Carolina and City of Tampa -- were destroyed on their own fields. The Ravens' defense played so well the Bucs' offense recorded negative-7 points. Carolina's defense "overpursued," and Atlanta seemed to be expecting that. Several nice Warrick Dunn and Michael Vick runs came when all Panthers' defenders went the same way, nobody stayed home and the Falcons' ball carrier cut back. Atlanta coaches must have seen Carolina overpursuit in film."
and my favorite...
"Professional Athletes Are Supposed To Run! In the Baltimore-City of Tampa game, 340-pound Ravens defensive tackle Haloti Ngata caught a deflected-pass interception and ran 60 yards down the sideline before stepping out of bounds on the Bucs' 9. Ngata was not tackled, rather, simply stepped out of bounds, apparently exhausted from his efforts; the Ravens had to settle for a field goal. After the play, the television announcers gushed about how impressive it was that a 340-pound man could run so far. Ngata is a professional athlete! The announcers should have said that it was embarrassing that a highly paid professional athlete is in such poor shape he had to stop after running a mere 60 yards. Any NFL player, including any lineman, ought to be able to run a dozen such wind sprints back-to-back."
Other quotes related to the game...
"Sour Play of the Week No. 3: Baltimore leading the Bucs 20-0 late in the third quarter, the Nevermores faced third-and-10 on their own 6; a stop here was essential for Tampa to have hope. Baltimore play-faked, and tight end Daniel Wilcox ran a short crossing pattern; Tampa safety Jermaine Phillips not only bit on the play-fake (it's third-and-10!) but made the high school mistake of "looking into the backfield," trying to guess what Baltimore quarterback Steve McNair was going to do, rather than covering his man. Wilcox caught for 35 yards while Phillips stood like topiary covering no one. By the time Tampa got the ball again, it was too late."

TMQ rules - only football writing that requires a dictionary.
The section about the supernova (although severely off-topic) was particularly interesting.

Re: TMQ: great read
TMQ is always the most interesting read of the week for me. Unfortunately, I can't get it at work anymore (MIT must have blocked ESPN.com), but it's an interesting and often thought-provoking twenty or thirty minute read. I was in mourning when ESPN fired him a couple of years ago, but his column is too popular to vanish.

Like I said. After getting it all together and looking at it I don't think I needed to clearance the hood but if the engine twists much the tb will definatley hit the hood if it doesn't already rub against it. I think I'm going to get a new hood when I repaint my car and just massage it with a hammer instead of cutting it if I need more clearance. Also I've heard you can flip the tb over to get more room but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Maybe someone else is smarter than me(not too hard )
Good luck,

Records Fall on First Day of Horizon League Championships
By: Ryan Hartwig (@RyanHartwig)
BROWN DEER, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay men's and women's swimming and diving teams got off to a strong start at the 2012 Horizon League Championship Meet on Wednesday, breaking a pair of school records while turning in a number of other impressive finishes at the Walter Schroeder Aquatic Center.
The Phoenix women, who are eyeing their eighth straight conference crown, are in third place after day one of the four-day meet, while the men's squad is in fifth. Host Milwaukee finished the first day atop the leaderboard on both the men's and women's sides.
Wednesday was highlighted by Phoenix sophomore Kendra Rottier (Green Bay, Wis.), who raced out to an early lead in the 1000-yard freestyle and never looked back, powering her way to an individual Horizon League title. Rottier's winning time of 10:03.79 broke the Green Bay school record of 10:09.99, set by Deanna DeGrand at last year's conference meet.
Senior Daniel Pogue (Chisholm, Minn.) narrowly missed the top spot on the podium in the men's 3-meter diving competition, finishing just one point (352.20) and one place behind Cleveland State's Josh Gonzalez, who won with a score of 353.75. Pogue's total broke the 2007 3-meter record of 343.70, set by Phil Zumstein. The 16-time Horizon League Diver of the Week now owns both the 1-meter (366.15) and 3-meter school records.
Also earning a top-eight finish behind Rottier in the women's 1000 was junior Melissa Killpatrick (Elk River, Minn.), who placed sixth in 10:24.97. In the men's 1000 free, sophomore Robert Wolf (Wind Lake, Wis.) posted the fourth-fastest time in Green Bay history, finishing seventh with a career-best 9:34.54.
Phoenix junior Mitchell Spaeth (Fredonia, Wis.) also had a solid performance on the 3-meter board, placing sixth after posting a score of 283.80.
Green Bay is back in action Thursday morning with swimming preliminaries at 10:30 a.m. For more information, visit the Championship Central Page on GreenBayPhoenix.com.

On Sept. 23, 1806, members of the Corps of Discovery drifted on the Mississippi River past Camp DuBois, their former winter staging area. Historians tell us the members of the Lewis & Clark expedition were eager to reach St. Louis about 1 mile downstream and return to civilization after more than two and a half years of wilderness travel. For the members of the Corps, Camp DuBois had served its purpose, and it was allowed to fall into disrepair, eventually to be reclaimed by the wilderness.
Two hundred years later, the abandoned camp has been reclaimed and has taken on an important role in preserving the memory of an important event in U.S. history. In September, history buffs met at the site and welcomed back a small flotilla of river travelers who had completed a two and half year trip on the same path of the Lewis & Clark expedition. According to the organizer's master plan, the site was host to a musical tribute at the end of the two-year Bicentennial celebration.
While Ol' Man River might keep on flowing along, there's been a recent addition to the historic campground. Overlooking the recently constructed Illinois State Park stands the Lewis & Clark Confluence Tower. This 200-foot prestressed/precast structure now not only creates a monument for the start of the trail of discovery, its supporters hope it will provide a much-needed lift to the economic future for the local area.
Around the country, producers are finding themselves developing a new market—commemorative structures. From carillons to observation towers to sculptures, concrete is preserving our deepest memories and important historical events. And for those involved in the design, casting, and ownership of these memorable structures, it's big business.
Legacy tower
Hartford, Ill., may be a small river town, nestled between Alton and Edwardsville, but it has a big place in the history of our country many people almost forgot. Fortunately for this community of about 1000, Hartford Mayor William Moore is a history buff.
Driven by the traditional interstate rivalry between Illinois and Missouri, Moore worked hard to establish that the Lewis & Clark expedition actually started in his state. "It's true that the expidition refitted and pushed off from St. Charles (Mo.), but they actually wintered here prior to the start of the journey," Moore says with conviction.
Hartford's economy has been static for several years. Spurred by the national interest from the Lewis & Clark anniversary, city leaders wanted to create a legacy structure to mark the historical event and to help jump-start their local economy by creating a tourism draw. Their plan was to draw from the thousands of visitors to the Gateway Arch National Park in St. Louis, about a 20-minute drive away.
Moore and other city leaders met several times to develop a plan to create a suitable memorial that would put Hartford on the tourist map. The tower design was actually one of four original ideas.
With the help of more than $580,000 in grants from the State of Illinois, the project is now almost complete. The funding came from a special state initiative called Opportunity Returns. The grants are designed to help spur local economies by providing seed money for special projects.
"Tourism plays a very significant role in the growth of our state's economy and, through Opportunity Returns, we're building our tourism assets in Southwest Illinois and throughout the state," Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich said in announcing the second portion of the funding grant.

Series TIC Thermal Imaging Camera
Product Announcement from Dwyer Instruments, Inc.
The Series TIC Thermal Imaging Camera allows users to see heat contrasts to prevent plant equipment failures, detect air leaks in buildings, and many more applications. Infrared radiation is given off by objects according to how warm they are, and the camera translates the measured levels into visual light on the bright 2.5" 160 x 120 resolution LCD. For increased differentiation among temperatures, the camera can automatically adjust the color band for a narrower range of temperatures throughout the -4 to 482°F ( -20 to 250°C) temperature range of the camera.
Besides taking spot measurements, the camera can also be set for isothermal, area, or profile analysis. All cameras include a Li-Ion battery, battery charger, docking station, SD memory card, SD memory card reader, sun shield, lens cap, video cable, standard reporting software, and a calibration report. A Bluetooth® earphone and USB cable are also included in TIC-30 units for making voice annotations and real time recording.
Up to 9 movable temperature spots can be selected to get specific temperature measurements of objects on the display. On the TIC-20 and TIC-30, there are flash, visual light camera, and a laser pointer to help identify the objects in the picture better. The visual image can be blended with the thermal image for better illustration of where the hot or cold spots are in the image.
