For the second year in succession, the UK's Co-operative Bank has come top in our European Bank Customer Advocacy Rankings, just ahead of Poland's ING Bank Śląski, with Germany's Sparda-Banken in third place.
Customer advocacy is the perception among customers that a firm does what's right for them, not just what's best for its own bottom line. Customer advocacy matters because in every country we survey in our Consumer Technographics® research, we've found that customers who view their main bank as a customer advocate have more accounts at their main bank, are more likely to consider their bank for their next financial purchase, and are more likely to recommend it to others.


text: I was looking into those options when I went for my build in 308. I ended up using M60 links. It works okay, but the trick was always getting enough speed behind the bolt before it hit the back of the round to push it out of the link. I added an ectra 12mm to my reciever and it was not enough. In retrospect, I would have added about 3/4" to a full inch and i think it would have been more effective. Now, I am just selling it all off because I have lost the beltfed bug :(

Comedians Explain 'This is Why You're Single'
In one comedy sketch in Laura Lane and Angela Spera's new show "This Is Why You're Single," an elderly couple from the future tells their grandchildren how they met: Swiping right on a picture on Tinder, the dating app.
In another, a private eye with an e-cigarette analyzes the social media profiles of Ms. Spera's Valentine's Day love interest in an attempt to background-check him before a date.
Then Ms. Lane analyzes the text messages Ms. Spera gets from a disinterested guy. He stands Ms. Spera up, but Ms. Lane puts a positive spin on it, pointing out his use of an exclamation point and heart emoji. "Do you know Valentine's Day emoticons are on the ninth page? And do you know how long it takes to get to those?" Ms. Lane says.
The comedy show is an entertaining ride through some of the curiosities and headaches of modern dating, with scenes inspired by real-life dating in New York. The Peoples Improv Theater, or PIT, hosted the Valentine's Day edition Thursday night, with a second show scheduled for Saturday at 9:30 p.m. A different version of the show debuted in the fall.
"This is Why You're Single" is the first show Ms. Lane and Ms. Spera have written. The pair met in a sketch-writing class at the PIT, and as they hung out, decided to team up on a project.
"We really thought the best material, the funniest sketches and the stuff we were most passionate about all had to do with dating," said Ms. Lane, 28, who lives in Brooklyn and works as an entertainment journalist. "Girls are idiots, guys are idiots — when it comes to love, everybody makes a lot of mistakes, so we knew we would have a lot of material to draw from."
But Ms. Spera, 25, who lives in Queens and works in marketing, is the only one braving first dates these days. Ms. Lane met her boyfriend of four years, who belongs to the PIT house sketch team Slap Fight, at a party in the West Village. The pair also get material from their single friends.
"It's hard. It's not easy, it sucks and it's stupid," Ms. Spera said of dating. While she is on a variety of dating websites, she said she doesn't actively use them "because they're frightening places." (However, she was excited to have a Valentine's date planned with a man she met recently on OkCupid.)
"We want this to be the kind of thing where people can go and laugh together because we get it… we both get that dating is hard," she added. "Being in a relationship is hard. Dating is a weird, weird thing."
A joke in the show about a man who does not pick up the check after a dinner date at Applebee's was inspired by an actual online date Ms. Spera said she went on.
The texting sketch is based on the urge friends often have to make each other feel better even in the face of very negative information.
"There's a seed of truth in all of them," Ms. Lane said. "We'll be joking with our friends, 'What if this guy you went out with on Tinder ends up being the person you marry? How stupid are you going to sound when you tell your grandkids how you met this guy?'"
The pair star in the show along with Andrew Kimler, Matthew Robert Gehring and Morgan Ferretti. Scott Swayze directs. (Mr. Kimler and Mr. Swayze are also members of Slap Fight.)
Mr. Swayze said Ms. Lane and Ms. Spera bring a fresh perspective to the stage. "I feel like they've got their finger on the pulse of what a lot of young women find funny," he said.

Some of you may remember me, I haven't posted in about a year. But, I was going through some old storage boxes and came across what was left of my old Custom.
Unfortunatly, the suit has pretty much been destroyed. The helmet was crushed and split in two, and the armor is too small for me to fit into anymore, but it wasn't a good set of armor anyway.
A friend and I have decided that we'd like to make a fanfilm, and that it's time to start building costumes again. It's been a long time, but I've been leaning towards a Death Watchman design, the only thing I don't like is the helmet design.
Another problem is, I've gained weight since I made a costume last time. So, I don't know how well a Mando suit will fit me. So I was wondering if any of you had any ideas or suggestions on how to sort of...disguise my belly while in the costume. I was thinking of enlarging the shoulder bells a little and adding a black cape or cloak with a black or dark blue flight suit.
Another thing I'd like to try to create are a pair of Crush Gloves. My same friend was telling me about a Mandalorian in an eBook he just bought who took out a Yuuzhan Vong wearing Crab armor with his bare hands, crushed his neck and shattered the crab-head armor.
Now, that's power...and that's the weapon and look I've been waiting for to complete my custom idea, my...final touch if you will. If you have any ideas as to how I should make those and still look Mandalorian, I'd really appreciate it.
I look forward to showing you all my progress.
Peace, Love and Chicken Grease!

Hi all,
I would like your views on whether the following is a good offer or not.
The job is at a tutorial centre.
17.5 - 18.5k p/m
16 - 26 teaching hours per week.
No lesson planning required and only need to be at venue for designated teaching hours, ie. no need to stay there all day.
I have some teaching experience already plus a TEFL.
However, I am hesitant. I am not in a rush to get a job in HK as I already hold one. The place that offered the job seems good...but wondering whether I can do better...should I wait until the end of current term and then start looking for something else? Would this be a better time to job seek?
Many thanks for your advice!

Provo • It is way too early to panic, BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall said Monday after his team practiced for the first time since Saturday's devastating 20-13 loss to rival Utah. The loss dropped BYU to 1-2 and put its bowl eligibility in question, given the difficult schedule that lies ahead.
"I think we can all acknowledge that we have been here before, and I am not sending any flares off, nor hitting the panic button," said Mendenhall, whose teams have started 1-2 five times in his nine years. "We have been 1-4 before, and we have yet to be excluded from a bowl game. We always find a way to be resilient and win, because that's who our players are."
Mendenhall described the program and himself as trying to expand "scheme and strategy" with the hope of being better than they were before.
"And three weeks is probably [not long enough] to say how well it will work." he said.
Why they lost
After reviewing film of the rivalry game, Mendenhall said he told his team Monday that it came down to BYU's failure to score in the red zone.
He "let them know that my take on the game was our team earned more chances to score and win the game than our opponent through field position, and really through short fields. We earned that chance, but didn't take advantage of those chances when we got them," he said.
BYU was 3 for 5 on red-zone opportunities, with a touchdown and two field goals; Utah was 4 for 4 with two field goals and two touchdowns.
Apo injured again
BYU receiver Ross Apo said he re-injured his surgically repaired shoulder in the week leading up to the opener, and that is why his playing time has been so limited. He played in only one series against Utah "and coaches just told me to shut it down."
However, the junior believes he will be able to play against Middle Tennessee State on Friday.
More on Hadley suspension
Mendenhall said that although the school suspended linebacker Spencer Hadley five games for violating the honor code, his suspension of the senior could go longer. But he doesn't believe it will.
"I have given Spence pretty specific criteria that I would like to see met at the end, now, of the university suspension," Mendenhall said. "I didn't have a limit when I said that, but at the end of those five weeks, if he has met my criteria for him, then, man, I can't wait to have him back. If he hasn't, then it could be a little bit longer. I don't anticipate that, though."
Mendenhall said running back Jamaal Williams is "day-to-day" after spending Saturday night in the hospital with a concussion and severe stinger. He said Williams has no neck or skeletal damage, but will have to pass concussion protocol to return to action, which "could be anywhere from four days to two weeks."… The Cougars are now 1-6 in games decided by seven points or fewer since 2012. They were 18-2 in such close games between 2006 and 2011. … The Cougars are running a play every 17.5 seconds, fastest in the nation.

Find out how time spent in parks, on trails, and in natural surroundings can benefit child development, including spillover benefits for observation and safety skills. Learn from a study of families' use of greenways, including things to think about when planning a route. And hear about possible new partners to help children walk and bike to school in the great outdoors.
Date: Wednesday, April 17 (Please note that this month's webinar is on a Wednesday.)

Children seem to be born with a desire to serve others. Even a
2-year-old will automatically comfort a crying baby by sharing a
In 2004 when the tsunami hit Southeast Asia, and again when the
hurricanes hit the southern United States in 2005, kids were among
the first to get involved. Children are pre-wired for service!
And Christian children have an added motivation to serve God.
They serve the same God and have the same spiritual gifts as the
rest of us. And they've been given the same challenge and promise
from God: "You will be my witnesses, telling people about me
everywhere — in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to
the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:8). For children, that might sound
something like this:
"You'll be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere — at
home and school, throughout your town, across the country, and to
the ends of the earth."
For just $6.67 a month, your next 12 parent newsletters are done! Subscribe today and start getting the ease and professionalism of the Parenting Christian Kids newsletter for your families.
Let's take a look at the many ways you can incorporate service
into the fiber of your ministry from home to church to community to
country to the world — just as in Acts 1:8.
Service at Home
It's not as exciting as a missions trip to Africa, but
contributing at home is truly the foundation for a lifetime of
service. Here are ideas you can use to get kids serving at
- Helper's Hints — On slips of paper, have kids
write or draw a picture of a way to serve each family member. Then
place the slips in a decorated shoebox. For example, kids might
write, "Make Mom's bed," "Give a hug," or "Do the dishes." Each
morning kids can choose a slip of paper and use the "hint" to serve
someone that day. Periodically have kids come up with new ideas to
add to their boxes at home.
- Flower Power — Younger children can create
six construction-paper flowers, while older kids may enjoy
arranging six artificial flowers in a decorative plastic cup. Have
kids write one way they'll serve their families on each flower.
Kids can place the flowers at home where they'll see them every day
and remember to serve.
- Love Language — Discuss with kids how service
is doing what someone else needs, not simply doing what we like to
do for others. Then ask kids to identify meaningful ways they can
show love to their families. Have kids create a service plan for
the following week and keep a short journal of people's reactions
to their acts of service. Share reports the following week.
- Service Celebration — Challenge kids to
complete one act of kindness for each family member during the
week. In your classroom, have kids share ways they served their
families so other kids get new ideas. Then serve the kids snacks as
a celebration of their service.

Veteran groups are up in arms over a recent memo` from the Defense Department which makes it harder for members of the military who are injured while serving their country to deal with the financial aspects of leaving the armed forces. Congress specifically stated that anyone, regardless of whether they served directly in a combat zone or was injured while training to fight, did not have to pay back any portion of their severance pay before becoming eligible for Veterans Administration disability compensation. In disregard for the intent of Congress, David Chu, of the Defense Department, interpreted the law as only applying to those who were in a combat zone. The result of this memo is that many who were disabled while serving their country are faced with the prospect of paying thousands of dollars they probably do not possess.
This is merely one more example of the petty manner in which the current Bush administration deals with needs of those who serve. The total amount saved in a $650 billion Defense Department budget is minor, but still the Pentagon went ahead with its policy. A soldier who is training for combat and crashes a helicopter resulting in disability is not considered eligible under Defense Department guidelines. Congress intends to make certain they will be.

OK guys. I've finally gotten my gauntlets mostly assembeled and base painted. I'm trying to pain ont he battle damage and have much of it done. Is it just me or do the ESB gauntlets have way less damage than the ROTJ ones or is it just the lack of in depth ref pics?
I do still need that darn flame thrower for the left gauntlet. Anyone make a resin version of it?
yes, they're ROTH gauntlets converted..thus the cord housing being to large on the right gaunt. I haven't gotten the switches for the right or the darts yet...I need to do that (any good darts out there?)
I'm still in desperate need of the flame thrower for the left. I'm going to possibly make some temp mock up with different sized bolts until I can find something better.

Maggie & Jason
May 26
Union, Kentucky
From the Photographer: "Jason and Maggie's wedding was a wedding that had me excited from the moment they booked. From the invitations to centerpieces and flowers to menu, every detail reflected the rustic classic wedding they had planned for and dreamed of. Tucked away in the rolling hills of Union Kentucky, Meadowview Farm was host to Jason and Maggie's elegant Southern reception. Maggie worked closely with the staff at Meadowview Farm and her florist (Inspired Floral Design) planning the menu, designing centerpieces, and adding personal touches to reflect the couples personalities. The grand tent and exquisite food made for an evening guests are sure to remember. The party started early and went well into the night. I was able to sneak Jason and Maggie away for a few last minute sunset shots. An upscale southern wedding was what the couple dreamed of…and they made it happen!" – Corrie Schaffeld of 1326 Studios

Fall Leaf Patterns
Looking for a fun fall craft to do with your child? Make leaf pattern imprints! This art activity will help your child develop an understanding of important math concepts like patterning and spatial awareness. Not to mention, she'll make some beautiful leaf art while she learns about the artistic process of imprinting.
Fall leaves are only around for a short period of time. Help your child capture their beauty for years to come with this printmaking project! This project will help your child learn patterning and spatial awareness. And, she'll remember it all with a beautiful work of art.
What You Need:
- Fall leaves, freshly collected from outdoors
- Cardboard, 20" x 24"
- Glue
- Tempera paint, Autumn colors
- Cookie sheet, that can get paint on it
- Brayer
- Spoons
- White paper, 11" x 14"
- Rolling pin, optional
What You Do:
- Ask your child to arrange her brightly-colored fall leaves in a design on the cardboard.
- Once she has her chosen design, ask her to glue the leaves in place directly on the sheet of cardboard. Allow the glue to dry for at least 1 hour, if not longer.
- Have her place a spoonful of paint onto an old cookie sheet.
- Help her to move the brayer over the paint until it is evenly coated over the cookie sheet.
- She can now roll the paint-coated brayer over her leaves. She can experiment using more or less paint for different effects.
- Have her place a sheet of paper on top of the leaves, pressing it down with an even pressure. She can even use a clean rolling pin for this part.
- Help her to slowly peel the white paper up from the leaves. Invite her to admire all the gorgeous textures and details created by the raised veins and shapes of the imprinted leaves.
- Continue making several prints from this same leaf pattern. Have her experiment with different color patterns. She can even use multiple colors on one print. What other things can she glue to cardboard to create prints? The possibilities are endless!
Helpful Tip: Fresh, moist leaves are the easiest to work with for printmaking.
Note: Moist fresh leaves work well for this activity as well, but use freshly fallen leaves for a more eco-friendly spin. Brayers are art rollers and are widely available at art supply stores and school supply stores.

Report: Locker To Miss Multiple Games, Surgery Possible
Tennessee Titans quarterback Jake Locker could miss multiple games after dislocating his non-throwing shoulder for the second time this season.
Dr. Mike Pagnani, director of Nashville Knee and Shoulder Center, said that once a player suffers this type of injury, it will continue to happen.
"Eventually, the pain will go away," Pagnani said. "The risk is, it's going to happen again and it's probably just a matter of time before it does. He is going to go out there and he is going to get hit wrong and it's going to pop out again. And he'll go through the same scenario where they pop it back in, and he's going to be real sore for a week or two until he ultimately gets it fixed."
The doctor also said that surgery is inevitable and, if surgery is required, Locker would be out for the season.

For a year, I've been actively trying to find women in my area who hunt and still nothing until Sept 1st when I was on Facebook and a good friend from high school said how 09/01 in her house means Dove hunting time. I was smiling from ear to ear and instantly contacted her and we are finally hooking up. Dove first season is over, but quail opens up 10/02 and we are going.
I've also spent a year trying on every darn camo's I can find and it drives me insane. Do the manufacturers not know that high riding pants are out? Everything I try is is damn near up to my chest. I settled on a pair last week (women's from Bass Pro Shops) but still haven't taken the tags off. I'm thinking I can work some magic with sewing and lower the high waist or fold it down. That should be my new job, making camos that are comfortable for women especially the younger generation who can't stand waist bands at their boobs. I still love my army camos but I need more than one pair.
I also picked up bow hunting over the last year and love shooting it, but haven't hit any animals yet. Went deer hunting for 4 days, but never got closer than 100 yards to a deer and my limit is 30...although I'm accurate to 40 yards. I will say though when I was 13 yards from the 8x8 bull I can 100% imagine the heart thumping that happens prior to taking a shot because I thought my heart was gonna jump out of my chest.
Hope all is well with all the other women hunters and hope we all have a great season!

Why Eden? Wouldn't San Ramon Regional be closer?

FYI-Eden is a Trauma Center, Emergency professionals on the scene will assess the injury and communicate with the Hospital to decide where the patient should go. Some Hospitals specialize in gunshot wounds, burns, blunt trauma etc. While the Hospitals can really do it all (also the extent of the injury is factored in)taking them where they can get the very best care is #1. The sad part of this whole thing....if the shooter thinks he had money issues before....THINK AGAIN, your life has changed forever!

Banana bread with tangy dried cranberries, cinnamon and orange zest to spice up the flavor...This bread makes any breakfast special, or serve it as an afternoon snack with sweet butter and minty iced tea. This recipe makes a single 9x5-inch loaf, but I like to make 2 loaves and freeze one. That way I always have it around for unexpected guests or just for private indulgences.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Cream together the butter, sugar, salt, cinnamon, cloves and orange zest in medium mixing bowl. Beat in the eggs and banana pulp. Sift in the flours and baking powder. Finally, stir in the walnuts and cranberries.
Place the batter in the greased bread pan. Bake for about 1 hour. The bread is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely before slicing.
Serving Suggestion:
Cranana Bread also makes a delicious dessert. Butter a thick slice and toast it under the broiler. Serve it with a scoop of good quality vanilla ice cream, topped with a light sprinkling of cinnamon or Gran Marnier.

Well its almost done, I just need the wonderfull comunity of TDHers on how much i should trim off because its obviously huge compared to my pouches.
So heres what I did
Follow Cruzers instructions! Well as best you can...
I did a few things different
Instead of Acetone, i used brakecleaner, Im working on my engine so i had pleanty of it lying around used two bottles.
Instead of a trash can thingi i taped sections down at a time (that were glued obviously) to my dresser.
When it was all dry i sprayed more brake cleaner on a rag and wiped it down a few more times.
Only problems
The cracks are still that orange color so i think i might follow cruzers advice once again and spray some brown paint of sorts then wipe it off.
I purposefully glued all the strands i had A) because what ever i cut off is going to be a belt (or braclet) for my GF. Unless i dont cut anything off.
Oh also in the pics you can see Cruzers SPECTACULAR job matching the dying of Seekers SPECTACULAR ammo pouches. Thanks to Cruz, Seeker and this wonderfull communtiy that I am proud to be a part of!
There are sooo many pictures that It just might be easier to go to photobucket.com and search HeroOfTime2005

But if we blame it on the human factor and make people believe it then we can pass more laws in order to have more control over the people.
"Global Warming" is not just a plot to enact stricter control by governments, this is not "1984".
don't wish to judge anyone but i agree, US should sign Kyoto protocol, and about US regular citizens...again it's not your fault and I'm not blaiming anyone here but...how much does a regular car "drink" per 100km? European cars...i think i can say it's average 7-8l.

sleep baby sleep
November 20th, 2011
The end of another weekend. Don't you just hate that Sunday night feeling when you know that in a matter of hours, you will be getting up and it will still be dark. Braving the train or bus, ducking and diving, so you're not standing under a fellow commuter's armpit. Or maybe you will be stuck in long traffic jams on the M25, M6 or M4…Oh how we love the journey to work! But fear not, however stressful and busy your week ahead might be, here are some ideas to give you that lovely relaxing weekend feeling, every day of the week.
Plan your evening meals ahead, so you are not desperately searching the fridge for inspiration, you will also have more time in the evenings to relax. Keep it simple, a chunky soup, stir fry, or Spanish omelette are healthy, quick options. Try a TV free night. When we are sat in front of the box, before we know it is 11 pm and we wonder where the evening has gone, try listening to the radio or reading a book instead. Ring a friend you haven't spoken to in ages, it's usually cheaper in the evenings to chat from a landline. Have a soak, this is something we do at the weekend that we don't do as much during the week. Light some candles, close your eyes, and relax. Have a night out, do something different to the norm, it will break up the week and make you feel re-energized. You could try a zumba dance class or support your local theatre and see a play. Have a couple of early nights, there is nothing like a full eight or nine hours to make you feel rested and it's just as good as a weekend lie in. Check that you have good supportive pillows, some people swear by silk pillow covers too. Make sure the room is not too warm, and that it's dark, just like babies we sleep better in a dark room.
To help you achieve that perfect night's sleep, you will need something comfortable and soft to wear. Bravissimo know how important comfort is to our ladies, so our nightwear and loungewear features integral bras to support you while you sleep.
For ladies that are passionate about pyjamas we have the Geometric Print PJ Bottoms by Bravissimo. They are made from brush cotton so are really soft and cosy, they come in the very funky geometric print, with these jammys, you have the option of wearing with the PJ Cami Top by Bravissimo, which comes with wire-free integral bra support and is available in berry, or wear with the new Capped Sleeve Top by Bravissimo, available in black and also with built in wire-free integral bra support and bra back fastening. We are awaiting stock, but more sizes will be available during December and you can purchase now.
For you ladies that are nuts about nighties, the pretty Lace Nightdress by Bravissimo, has had great reviews. It also features a wire-free integral bra support with bra back fastening and is available in berry. You have said, "This one looks amazing on", "Is the comfiest nightie you have worn" and "Fits perfectly and your boobs stay in place".
Remember girls, we spend around one third of our lives asleep, so we may as well be comfy!

In my opinion, Clifford's parts come a little too dear for me. Give Engle a call and discuss their grind numbers EP-14/100HYD (204/210 @ 0.050", 0.473"/0.490" lift) and EP-16/18HYD (210/216 @ 0.050", 0.516"/0.534" lift).

inline cam ?
Hey guys, I'm not really new to this, I've just never put a cam in a car before. The vehicle is a 1967 Chevelle with a 230 CI I6. I have Clifford headers, intake, a Holly 390 CFM carb and an HEI ignition, and I am now deciding to put a cam in it as well. I have been looking at cams from Clifford, and I have decided to get one from there. First off, has anyone gotten one from them, and what do you think of it? My next question is about installing the cam itself. I know that it will be a relativly large amount of work, but I am prepared. What would you say the difficulty is, and how long would you estimate it taking? I am going to put an electric fan on it once I am done because I am tired of the mechanical fan, so that might also adjust the time it will take. Next, do you recomend the "Monster Torque" cam? I noticed that it says that you need thier cam kit which comes with springs, retainers and all that jazz. Is it best to just buy the kit and cam and replace everything, or just buy a lesser cam and leave my valvetrain stock? My valves tick pretty bad now, but I have heard that this is inevitable with an I6 Chevy. Anything that you guys can let me in on is most appreciated. Thanks again, Sam.

Part of the proposal involves making all council elections in-district. The argument is that at-large races hurt Black and Hispanic candidates.

Buffalo, N.Y. - Canisius College Director of Athletics Bill Maher announced Nate Huckle has been named the men's and women's cross country head coach. A five-time Section V Coach of the Year selection, Huckle will take over the program immediately.
"We are extremely excited to have Nate Huckle join the Canisius athletics staff as our next head cross country coach," said Maher. "Nate thoroughly impressed our staff and our student-athletes with his experience as a coach and his vision to continue the growth of our cross country programs. We are all looking forward to continued success of our program under his leadership."
Huckle arrives at Canisius after serving as the head coach of the men's and women's cross country, and indoor and outdoor track programs at Brighton Central School, located outside of Rochester, N.Y. In his eight years as head coach, Huckle guided the Barons to Section V Class A titles each year, sending a total of 14 runners to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Cross Country Championships.
"Any opportunity to coach at the collegiate level is great, but to take the reins of a program with such a strong reputation for athletic and academic excellence is truly exciting," said Huckle. I feel I have the chance to build on an already solid foundation of performance and tradition."
During his collegiate career, Huckle competed at SUNY Brockport in cross country, and indoor and outdoor track for head coach John Izzo. Huckle graduated from SUNY Brockport, receiving his bachelor's degree in journalism in 1998 and a second bachelor's degree in English literature in 2000. He would go onto earn a master's degree in liberal studies in 2007. While studying for his second bachelor's degree, Huckle volunteered as an assistant coach at SUNY Brockport.
Prior to joining the Golden Griffins, Huckle served as assistant camp director at the Eastern Regional Elite Distance Camp, held at the Olympic Training Center in Lake Placid, N.Y.
The Golden Griffins will start next season with 14 returning letterwinners. In 2011, the Golden Griffin men and women each finished fifth at the MAAC Championship, held at Van Cortlandt Park in Bronx, N.Y. At the 2011 Little Three Championship versus rivals Niagara University and St. Bonaventure, the Griff men secured their sixth-consecutive title and the women captured their fifth-straight crown.
"Both squads are returning several exceptionally talented student-athletes next fall. This, coupled with a few strong recruits, should lead to strong seasons for the men and women," said Huckle. "My expectations are high, with goals of continuing our winning streak at the Little Three Championships and matching or improving upon last year's finishes at the National Catholic Championships and MAAC Championships."
TRANSACTIONS: Nathan Huckle named Canisius cross country head coach.

One place that immdediately comes to mind is the Bud's Gunshop website, where they have a section that lists FFL's by state. There are about 10 listed for OKC. You might pull up that site and go through that list.
Keep in mind that this list is only the FFL's that have sent their licenses to this company, so therefore might not be a complete list of what is in OKC.

Aussie in New Jersey bunkers down as superstorm crosses the coastline
October 30, 2012 , 4:59 PM by Hayley Crane
Aussie Josh Gill and his girlfriend are bunkered down in their third floor New Jersey apartment as one of the worst storms in US history crosses the coastline.
Superstorm Sandy has cut all power to the area and authorities say the blackout could last up to a week.
Josh tells Richard authorise have enforced a curfew of 6pm tonight until 1pm tomorrow, "we can't leave the apartment, ground floor apartments have all been evacuated, it's mayhem...we're well prepared, we had plenty of notice and have supplies to last us a week."
"The grocery stores have been jam packed with people buying water and the hardware stores are full for people buying generators," he said.

This pair coverall has met my expectations for comfort and personal protection. Very well made. Additionally I have talked to a few contractors and they have given me feedback that additional zippers in the areas of the lower legs and arms would be helpful.

These coveralls are a heavy duty item. The color is good as they will be used during emergency traffic control duty. They are well fitting and the legs and sleeves are a good length.

These overalls are well made and are perfect for saving clothes that would normally get ruined working on your family automobile. I would sugest these for anybody that enjoys doing some work in the garage

The Dickies coveralls were nice thick 100 percent cotton. The price was right. I would recommend that you consider going up one size like I did, because it would be easier to get in and out without struggling. Also, please account for a bit of shrinkage.Delivery was within a reasonable time as far as I can remember. It is stiff and begins to soften nicely about after five washes. I took the advice of people on the Web and washed it with fabric softener the first few times. There are deep front leg pockets. There are also pocket openings where you can reach into your regular pants pockets if you are wearing regular pants underneath. The only thing I would change to make them better is to make all the pocket zippers and cuff snaps covered so it wont scratch the surface of things you are working on, like your car.

Fits well, closures work easily, and fabric is heavy and appears really durable.Would recommend spending a little more money for a quality coverall.Jim in So Calif

2.5 Million Volts Stun Baton & Siren - GA809
The Ultimate in Personal Safety!
This Batton offers 2.5 Million Volts in Stopping Power!! To increase the "Stun-Surface", this Batton has
Metal Plates on it's sides - should a "would-be-assailant" try to reach for the Stun Gun, a nasty "Shock"
will greet him/her upon touching the sides of the Batton!!
Did You Know?
A stun gun is an electrical self-defence device that uses high voltage to stop an attacker. Touching a person with the prongs on the stun gun quickly immobilizes the attacker. However, because the amperage is very low, no serious or permanent injury is inflicted.
This rapid work cycle depletes blood sugar by converting it to lactic acid all in just seconds.
The resulting energy loss makes it difficult to move and function. At the same time, the tiny neurological impulses that travel throughout the body to direct muscle movement are interrupted.
This causes disorientation and loss of balance and leaves the attacker in a passive and confused condition for several minutes.
Although there is no significant effect on the perpetrator's heart and other organs, you have the time you need to get away and call for help.
Stun Guns have a common theme.
They are a direct contact weapon- not to be confused with a Taser Device
As a general rule, a one-half second contact can repel and startle the attacker, giving some pain and muscle contraction.
You will not be affected even if you are holding your attacker with another hand or he is holding you! The extreme shock does not pass between people.
One to two seconds can cause muscle spasms and a dazed mental state. Over three seconds can cause loss of balance and muscle control, mental confusion and disorientation. Realize that 3 seconds is quite a long time when in a physical struggle.
Every person is different and will react differently to the effects of a stun gun. What may put one person down in 3 seconds could take 5 seconds on another person. You must be prepared to hold it on the person for as long as (forcefully) possible or necessary.
You will not get shocked if your attacker is touching you. Even if you or the attacker is wet or standing in water, you will not get shocked.

Formulating an effective strategy for a trip to the Emirates is a tricky task at the best of times, but Alan Pardew has been further handicapped by Newcastle's lack of rest after their Boxing Day defeat to Manchester United, and an injury crisis that has left him without an entire midfield.
In the absence of naturally creative players like Yohan Cabaye and Hatem Ben Arfa, Newcastle may play direct, basic football on Saturday.
At least Pardew can choose an unchanged defensive unit – the quintet of Tim Krul, Danny Simpson, Mike Williamson, Fabricio Coloccini and Davide Santon have started Newcastle's last six matches, and although they conceded four at Old Trafford, they defend intelligently and are likely to stay narrow, forcing Arsenal into wide zones to cross the ball.
Although Coloccini is Newcastle's captain and a more renowned centre back, he has one of the poorest aerial duel success rates of any Premier League defender this season, and Williamson is often more dominant in the air.
At the other end of the pitch, Pardew knows his favoured two forwards, but is unsure of how to fit them into the same side. Senegalese duo Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse seemed like an exciting partnership when first used together, but gradually it's become clear that they don't have much of a relationship in a 4-4-2 – they score on a mutually exclusive basis, and often make the same runs.
Pardew's midfield combination depends upon injury, but we can be sure that Cheick Tiote – suspended for the defeat to Manchester United – will return in the centre of midfield. He'll play directly in front of the defence, and try to prevent Arsenal getting space between the lines, but he has a habit of collecting too many yellow cards, and is much less effective when already on a booking.
We can expect a counter-attacking approach from the visitors. Newcastle have a defence that stays narrow, a couple of potent forwards and a midfield that covers ground quickly. Arsenal will dominate possession, but they must be patient or risk being exploited on the break.
It will be a very difficult game for Newcastle because they are finding that injuries and the extra demands of Europe have really taken their toll this season.
I don't think they'll be going into the game with very high expectations but will be hoping to pull something off.
Last season, the team selection was a lot more consistent. They were lucky that they didn't pick up many injuries. That's not been the case this season. They've picked up quite a few injuries, including significant ones to Cabaye and Ben Arfa.
They miss Cabaye a lot. He's the only real creative central midfielder at the club. He can get his foot on the ball and provides a goal threat from midfield. When he got injured, I think Pardew planned to bring Ben Arfa into the middle in a Santi Cazorla-type role. But then Ben Arfa got injured too.
Demba Ba has been among the goals this season and is certainly a player to look out for. There are a lot of players in the Newcastle squad who have the potential to be dangerous if they can rediscover their form, with Jonas Gutierrez and Papiss Cisse an example of that.
Newcastle have struggled to find a formation to get the best out of both Cisse and Ba. It's often been the case that one is scoring goals and the other isn't. Cisse has been asked to play wide at times this season, whereas last season, Ba was playing on the left to accommodate Cisse. They've never really looked convincing in a 4-4-2 as Cisse likes to play on his own up front.
Newcastle can look a bit ragged when teams run at them with pace. Mike Williamson can be quite susceptible to pace in behind him.
I think Arsenal have got to be favourites. Newcastle will be hoping to dig in and take a point. They would be quite happy with that.

I've seen plenty of viewing of posts on here, but not much posting so I am inviting you all to make some noise.
I'm having a little PM conversation on another forum about this. And thought I would invite all of you to join our club here. I know you don't all have enough time to post through out the day and what time you have is precious to you and your families. I know how tough it is to get out to hunt let alone spend time yapping on here. I'm stuck in an office job now until January so I have time. I'm either lucky or unlucky depending on how you look at it. I'm more than willing to help a guy out. But most of my helping is through building relationships. There are a lot of guys in Arizona who know more about ducks in this state than me. But I'm as appreciative of the help I have gotten or more than anyone. So anyone looking for advice pop on the boards make yourself known.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
We stripped out three bedliner products last month. Two of them were DIY products. One was in a Hummer, the other in a truck. If you expose your DIY to the sun, they will tend to fade and deteriorate. Here are the pics of the DIY stuff:
Here's an after pic with LINE-X with Xtra (resists fading and loss of gloss). Keep it in the sun all you want, it will retain its color.
Well, I finally got the herculiner on this past weekend and it looks much better than I expected.
I ended up spending several days using naval jelly to get all the rust off the bed floor and then I sanded the whole thing with 80 grit before going back over it with 180 and a scotchbrite pad. The remaining paint in the bed was in pretty bad shape, not much shine left anywhere, so this was probably over kill but I was looking to get really good adhesion so...
I ended up wrapping the front rail, all the way to the space between the bed and the cab, with the herculiner. But only did to the top edge of the rails on the sides and the tailgate. (Going to put black rail caps and a tailgate protector on those.) After the second coat and a touch up session I ended up with less than a cup of herculiner left over. This was a long bed so I'd purchased the gallon kit and one extra quart.
A couple of notes...it was hot and humid so the only real issue I had with the application was that the product was drying a little too fast. Had to spend some extra time and attention to not get a noticeable line between the seams and corners where it was brushed on and the rolled sections. I've seen this stuff applied where there was a visible "line" around all the seams and it just screams roll on job so I didn't want that. I found that staggering the width of the cut in seams and being careful to only roll to them rather than over them did the trick. Cut in about 4" on the first coat, out from either side of the seam, and only 2" on the second coat. That took care of it.
The only other thing I learned it that you really need to remove your tape line pretty quickly after the second coat. If the product gets too dry it's tougher than the tape and the tape will want to tear. If it gets to that point you can simply apply a little more herculiner to the edge and it will re soften all the layers making it possible to pull the tape up cleanly.
All in all it was just like any paint job.....prep was 90% of the battle. The actually painting part was fairly easy but rather messy. Only time will tell how well it holds up. I'm really pleased with the results but now I have to go chisel the bedliner out from underneath my nails.

Check out a product called durabak it is what i am going to use on my s10 when i get that far they give you more detailed instructions and will send you a free sample ! Looks more impressive than the store bought is about$ 99.00 for the kit
check it out may be another option for youcheck it out at durabak.com
You can go to Wallymart and buy a few cans of Krylon paint and paint your entire truck. Or, you can buy a professional paint job. Krylon and the professional paints are not the same products. Choose whatever fits your needs and budget.
You can go to Wallymart and buy Herculiner, Duplicolor, Durabak, or the other DIY bedliner products and paint yourself a bedliner. Or, you can go buy a professional spray-on bedliner. The DIY products and the professional spray-on bedliner products are not the same products. Choose whatever fits your needs and budget.
The DIY products are basically glorified paint with little rubber chunks in it. Duplicolor is manufactured by Sherwin-Williams. You will pay about $100 for a one gallon DIY kit. You will also need paper, tape, acetone, ScotchBrite or sandpaper, rubber gloves, etc. Professional bedliner brands typically spray about 4 to 4.5 gallons in a truck. The durability of the professional spray-ons is WAY better that the DIY products.
All the makers seem to say that a gallon is enough to do a short bed and that a gallon and a quart will do a long bed. I'm still debating where to stop mine. Hubby wants me to wrap it up the sides and do the top of the bed rails instead of putting bed caps on it but I'm more inclined to only bring it up to the very top edge and go with the caps. Not sure how clean an edge I can get with tape but I'm also a little concerned that the extra thickness might effect the way the caps fit down on the rails.
Yep, buying a gun just to do one truck doesn't sound very cost efficient. lol Besides that this thing is a crew cab with a fresh paint job on the outside so...let's be honest...I'm too doggone lazy to mask off the whole truck just to spray a bedliner! I'd like to be able to brush or roll on anything, primer included, that I have to put on it just to avoid all that masking.
Interesting thread. I'm painting a pickup bed trailer, and just bought some herculiner for the bed yesterday. It was on sale for 69.99 at Checker (after rebate). Unfortunately, they told me one gallon would be enough. Guess I'd better go back and get more.
I've epoxy primed mine, and was just going to scuff it with a Scotchbrite, but I'll pay attention here for a while. Haven't got the shiny paint on yet, anyway.
Thanks Ranchero! Yep, durability is a big question mark in my mind as well. I've heard horror stories about the roll on stuff peeling off after short periods of time. But then I've had other people tell me that their bed liners have been in for a while and are holding up super. I'm assuming....we all know what kind of trouble THAT can get you into....that the prep work they did, or didn't do, is what causes the difference.
This truck gets used quite a bit on the farm and it has to do double duty as the tow vehicle for our car trailer and our horse trailer so I'd like for it to look nice as well as protecting the bed from future abuse. That's one reason that I'm looking at the do it yourself liners rather than the pro sprayed variety. Being able to repair any damage to the bedliner myself as it occurs.
Did the Duplicolor not have as much texture as you wanted out of the can? Is that why you went back over it with a textured roller? Looks good in the photos, BTW.
This is an 88, old body style, GMC long bed. Everyone keeps telling me a gallon and a quart will do the whole thing but I have doubts about that being enough for really good coverage.
For the bed of my Ranchero I epoxy primed it with Kirker Euro Epoxy, then 2 days later Scuffed it good with 220 and applied Duplicolor bed liner. I brushed it on right heavy and let it set 30 min then took the textured roller and went over it again . Took about 1.5 gal . It really looks better than the pic shows.
How it will hold up ?? Don't know but don't expect to be hauling much in it and it will be covered all time .
Prep for Herculiner?
I'm planning on using the roll on herculiner on my truck bed but the floor has some pretty heavy surface rust and areas where there is NO paint left. I'm unsure of the best way, beyond sanding, to prep it for the liner. Should I use some sort of rust treatment? Should I prime it? Do I need to paint it before I put on the herculiner? Sorry for my ignorance but all the instructions for applying this type of liner seem to assume that you have a nice new painted bed to start with....
Also, I really want this stuff to stick so any recommendations on a final sanding grit would be greatly appreciated! (This scuff it with a scotchbrite pad sounds WAY too simple.)

8 Design Tips to Create a MoodboardPin It
Last week I told you about my mood board that I created for the contest on Apartment Therapy. What I did NOT tell you was that it was my first official mood board. Really. I've never made one before. I have made countless drawings of spaces and designed countless garden layouts, but craft a real mood board - not so much. My friend Darlene is the queen of mood boards...hers are beautiful and amazing and people pay her to make them for them.
Lucky for me, there is a site that helps you build your own board quickly and easily called Olioboard. I'm not going to give you any tips on how to grab items from various places online and craft a moodboard (that is Darlene's forte - ask her!!!) However, I wanted to give you a few simple design tips when you are crafting a mood board or any design brainstorm for a new space. Whether you use a program like Olioboard or start from scratch in photoshop, these 8 tips will give you an outline of where to start!
2. Start with an inspiration piece. For me, it was the toilet roll cover that Cottonelle was promoting. For you, it could be a patterned fabric, a gorgeous mid-century modern couch or a large scale piece of artwork. Whatever it is, you should take inspiration from not only the colors of the piece, but also the shapes, lines and tones of the inspiration item.
3. Start with 3 large pieces that make a statement and map the course for the room. In my design, the first thing I chose was the awesome circular lounging chair. The second item I chose was the elephant curtain and the third item was the curtain rings. All three items reference the shapes in the pattern of the roll cover. The first two piece are also two of the larger pieces in the room, so I have a good base to start from.
4. After decided on a major color and shape theme, I then searched for items that reinforced the ideas of the room. For example, the elephant design is repeated literally and figuratively in the shapes of various items in the room as well as literally in one printed accessory. The colors are brought in based on their percentages (see#1).
5. When bringing in additional pieces, you want to makes sure that you don't put two items that are pulling from the same inspiration right next to each other. For example, notice how the two literal elephant references are placed on opposite sides of the board. Also notice
6. If you want an item to have strength on your board, you repeat the item just as you would in a space. In my board, I repeated the river rock artwork 3 times and the lights are also repeated to give them visual weight on the board. This gives the board a complete feeling without being overwhelmed by too many diverse items.
7. There are different styles of moodboards. The first is a white space board where items are arranged in straight grids and there is a lot of space surrounding each item. You can also make a mood board that reflects the actual design of the completed room (like Darlene's!). If you are making a mood board like mine where all of the items weave and touch each other without literally creating a room space, you need to make sure that the space is full, but not cluttered.
8. Once you have completed your mood board, make sure you KNOW YOUR SOURCES. Olio makes this easy because all of the sources are listed when you click on the photo while editing, but if you are pulling images from elsewhere on the web, make sure to get the manufacturer and link to them!
If you complete a moodboard, I'd love to see it! Go ahead and upload it to the Nest for All Seasons facebook page or shoot me an email! ...and hey - would you guys like to get Darlene over here to teach you how to make a completed room mood board?? {hint, hint Dar!}

During the past few years the American public has been deluged with information concerning the "surge" which will end terrorism in Iraq and now the "surge" which will end terrorism in Afghanistan. Even as General David McKiernan was meeting with tribal elders in Helmand and Kandahar, news came from Iraq of the death of five more American soldiers who were killed by insurgents. McKiernan's goal was to connect with tribal elders in order to get their cooperation for the surge in Afghanistan. "I'm trying to connect to the local population in a bottom-up way and try to explain what the new US strategy means and why they're going to see an increased force presence where they live." He emphasized until save havens for insurgents are eliminated the attacks will go on.
The good news is that McKiernan told the audience, "I'm reading a very good book now about this part of the world. It's written in English, but it's all about you–it's the Quran."I guess the real surge he has been discussing is the surge in having US military leaders read the Quran. That should end terrorism in the region. Now, if we could just get insurgents to read the Quran all problems would cease.

A pregnant Muslim woman who wears a headscarf was stabbed outside of a German courtroom being repeatedly stabbed by a neighbor who insisted since she was Muslim, that, by definition, means she is a terrorist. Her husband rushed to the aid of his wife and was also stabbed by the neighbor, but he was also shot in the leg by security guards who thought, since he was not blond haired, he must be the attacker. Obviously, when a Muslim woman is stabbed by a German citizen, it goes without question anyone going to her assistance must be part of the world wide al-Qaeda network. The attacker who plunged his knife into a pregnant woman 18 times, is only identified as Alex W. and is in custody. Marwa Al-Sherbini's body was flown to Egypt where thousands marched behind her coffin shouting expressions such as: "there is no God but God and the Germans are the enemies of god."
A German government spokesperson said if the attack was racist, the government "naturally condemns this in the strongest terms." Although the murder has featured prominently in the Egyptian press, few German newspapers have played up the attack. In 2004, there was a media uproar when filmmaker Theo van Gogh was murdered by a Muslim because of his allegedly anti-Muslim films.
The good news is that representatives from the main Jewish group in Germany visited the husband who is still in the hospital. Stephan Kramer, of the Central Council of Jews, told the media: "You don't have to be a Muslim to act against anti-Muslim behavior, and you don't have to be a Jew to act against anti-Semitism." Well said.

The combined point total of 211 points set a new Koessler Athletic Center scoring record, and VMI's 111-point effort also set a new scoring record for an opposing team in the Koessler, a record that was previously held by Saint Peter's at 103. The Griffs had four players score in double figures in the loss, led by senior Chris Perez, who scored a season-high 30 points in his final collegiate game. Fellow senior Billy Baron was good for 24 points, eight assists and five rebounds for the loss. Baron finishes his career as a Griff with 1,405 career points, which is 11th in school history and his 351 career assists at Canisius ranks ninth in the program's history. Redshirt sophomore Dominique Raney scored a career-high 20 points in the loss for Canisius, which ended the night shooting 51.4 percent from the field, 45.8 percent from 3-point land and 712.4 percent from the free-throw line.
"We knew coming in that VMI was a really good team," Canisius head coach Jim Baron said. "They jumped us at the start of the game. We fell behind and it took us some time to get our legs under us. Once we were able to score a bit and change defenses on them, we slowed them down, but they just kept coming at us. Give them credit, we worked to get back in the game and then we got into some foul trouble and they did a great job at the line."
VMI, the nation's top-scoring team, scored the game's first 15 points and held a 15-2 lead just 4:09 into the contest. Covington scored eight of VMI's first 15 points before Canisius senior Chris Manhertz put the Blue and Gold on the scoreboard with 15:51 left in the half with a jumper from the top of the key. A 3-pointer by Glasgow with 4:49 left before the half made the score 51-32 in favor of the Keydets and VMI went into the halftime intermission with a 15-point cushion at 59-45 after it shot 53.7 percent from the field, 41.2 percent from 3-point land and 88.9 percent from the free-throw line in the game's first 20 minutes. The 59 points scored in a half by VMI set a new Koessler Athletic Center record for points in a 20-minute span by a visiting team, besting the previous record of 58, which was set by Loyola (Md.) Jan. 12, 2006.
The Griffs came out of the locker room at halftime and scored the first eight points of the second half in 1:50 to make the score 59-53 in favor of VMI. Senior Jordan Heath knocked down a 3-pointer from the top of the key and moments later, Baron hit a triple from the right wing. Heath followed with a layup on the team's next trip down the floor to force VMI to take a 30-second timeout. Out of that timeout, VMI answered Canisius with a 9-2 run over the game's next 2:36 which made the score 68-55 with 15:03 left on the game clock. The Blue and Gold trailed by nine at 74-65 with 12:50 left and made a run to get within two points at 76-74, a run that was kick-started by a 3-pointer from Raney with 12:16 on the clock. But VMI answered again, outscoring Canisius 7-0 in the next 45 second to push its lead back to nine at 83-74 with 9:08 left in regulation time. The Griffs would only be able to trim the VMI margin to eight points in the final 8:00 of the contest, as the Keydets closed out the game by going 30-for-34 from the charity stripe, with Covington making good on 13 of his 14 free-throw attempts for the game.
Freshman guard QJ Peterson scored 28 points for VMI in the win to go with eight rebounds and Tim Marshall came off the bench to post 10 points for VMI, which reach the century mark on the scoreboard for the ninth time this season. VMI ended up shooting 50 percent from the field in the win and the Keydets ended the night holding a 42-36 lead on the glass and a 29-14 advantage in second-chance points.
Jordan Heath had 15 points, eight boards and two blocks in his final collegiate game, while Manhertz tallied nine points, three rebounds and two blocks before fouling out of his last college game with 4:30 left to play. Redshirt freshman Phil Valenti had seven boards in the loss. Canisius was without the services of freshman Zach Lewis for most of the game after the 2013-14 MAAC All-Rookie Team selection injured his ankle on an offensive breakaway early in the first half.Game Notes: This was the first meeting between Canisius and VMI in men's basketball… This was the program's 11th postseason appearance, and the team is now 2-2 all-time in the CIT… The 211-total points bested the previous KAC scoring record by 14 points – prior to Tuesday the combined Koessler Athletic Center scoring record was 197, set Dec. 3, 1979 when the Griffs beat Mercyhurst 113-84… The 111 points allowed are the most for Canisius since the team gave up 113 in an overtime loss at Niagara Feb. 16, 2005… Canisius reached 100 points on the scoreboard in a regulation game for the first time since Feb. 28, 1989 when the team beat Elmira 105-74… The 11 3-pointers for the team in the loss is a new program postseason record… Baron is just the fourth played in school history to score more than 1,400 career points while dishing out more than 350 career assists… Baron's 180 assists this season ties him for fourth on the school's single-season assist list with former Griff Javone "Bam" Moore, who also had 180 assists during the 1996-97 season… Manhertz ends his career ranked fourth all-time in career rebounds with 789 career boards… The Bronx, N.Y., native played in career game No. 116 on Tuesday… Perez played in his 125th career college basketball game on Tuesday and the CIT was the first postseason game in his career. Jordan Heath's two blocked shots gives him 125 for his career as a Griff, which ranks eighth in school history… Covington's 37 points is tied for the third highest single-game scoring effort by one player in CIT history.

Miles Dixon, a 6-1 guard from Missouri City, Texas, has signed a letter of intent to attend Wright State University and play basketball for the Raiders this fall, WSU head coach Billy Donlon announced Monday.
"Miles will add experience and versatility to our backcourt," Donlon said. "He is an explosive athlete with the ability to defend multiple perimeter positions."
Dixon, who played one season and part of a second before an injury at NCAA Division I Houston (TX) Baptist University, will have two years of eligibility remaining. He started 18 games while playing 31 as a freshman when he averaged 7.1 points, 1.7 assists and 2.5 rebounds, reaching double-figure scoring nine times. Playing just five games as a sophomore, his year was cut short by a broken foot as he averaged 12.2 points and 3.6 rebounds. Before his injury, he scored 22 points versus Oklahoma State and had 14 points against Arizona State in the Great Alaska Shootout.
Last season, Dixon played at Blinn Community College, coached by Tra Arnold, where he averaged 12.5 points and shot 48% from the field, including 36% from three-point range. Blinn finished the season with a record of 27-7.
During his career at Elkins (TX) High School, Dixon averaged 15.7 points per game and was named First Team All-District.

Christmas is a wonderful time of year full of beautiful decorations to mark the occasion, decorations which can pose an additional fire threat. Please be sure to use fire retardant artificial trees or a well-watered tree if using a natural Christmas tree, don't over load electrical outlets with decorative lights, make sure to inspect all decorative lights to ensure none are broken or that frayed wires are exposed, and use flame-less candles as opposed to traditional candles. If you do decide to use traditional candles be sure to keep them clear of anything that may potentially be flammable.

Following its acquisition of Quattro Wireless for $275,000,000, Apple has just announced the launch of iAd, its mobile advertising platform (see my colleague's take here). Adding the $750,000,000 that Google is ready to invest in AdMob (the deal is still under FCC scrutiny), the two most disruptive new mobile entrants have invested more than $1 billion — a clear signal that mobile advertising has long-term potential. The main difference between Google and Apple is that Apple is only just entering the advertising business, while Google's entire business model simply IS advertising. However, that potential has yet to be realized. Does that mean stakeholders can generate significant revenues in the short term and that operators will be bypassed once again? I have read in various places some strange comments suggesting that Google's mobile ad revenue share with mobile operators would be a way to finance network evolution. Just compare the cost of a base station and the significant investment required to finance 4G with absolute mobile advertising revenues and you'll quickly figure out for yourself that this is unlikely to happen anytime soon. This is more of an online advertising discussion around the Net neutrality debate (remember France Telecom's CEO warning that he was not "building freeways for Californian cars"!) but it will crop up later for mobile.
