Junior forward Asani Samuels and freshman defender Thomas Teupen of the Canisius College men's soccer team were both honored on Thursday night at the MAAC annual postseason banquet. Samuels was named to the All-MAAC Second Team, while Teupen collected MAAC All-Rookie Team accolades.
Samuels matched a career high with eight points as a junior, stretching the opponent's defense as the team's lead forward. A native of Jamaica, Samuels recorded three goals in 2013 to go along with two assists. He also became just the second Griff in the program's history to net two overtime goals in the same season, leading Canisius to wins against Bucknell and Siena.
During his career, Samuels has totaled 19 points, eight goals and three assists in 54 career games. As a sophomore, Samuels was also named to the NSCAA All-North Atlantic Third Team.
In his first season at Canisius, Teupen helped anchor the Canisius defense from the center back position. He scored one goal in 18 games, while helping the team register four shutouts during the campaign.
In addition, three Griffs were honored for their work off the field when seniors Ryan Arvin and Zack Schwartz and junior Ryan Schroen were selected to the MAAC All-Academic Team.
The Griffs finished the 2013 campaign with a 7-9-2 overall record, placing sixth in the MAAC with 10 points during conference play. Canisius' 15 wins in the last two seasons are tied for the most in any two-year span in the program's history.

whats the rules on an auto, before you need shield/blanket
Any non-OEM floor-mounted automatic transmission shifter must be equipped with a spring loaded positive reverse lockout device to prevent the shifter from accidentally being put into reverse gear. Functional neutral safety switch mandatory. All transmission lines must be metallic or high-pressure-type hose. All vehicles running quicker than 9.99 seconds (*6.39) or faster than 135 mph (217.2 km/h) and using an automatic transmission must be equipped with a transmission shield meeting SFI Spec 4.1 and labeled accordingly. "Blanket" type shield, appropriately labeled as meeting SFI Spec 4.1 permitted. All non blanket type shields must incorporate two (or one, per manufacturer's instructions) 3/4-inch (19.1 mm) x 1/8-inch (3.2 mm) straps that bolt to the shield on each side, and pass under the transmission pan, or transmission pan must be labeled as meeting SFI Spec 4.1. Permitted in all classes where an automatic transmission is used. 9.99 (*6.39) or quicker ET cars, and 135 mph (217.2 km/h) or faster ET cars using an automatic transmission must be equipped with a flexplate meeting SFI Spec 29.1 and covered by a flexplate shield meeting SFI Spec 30.1. Air shifter bottles must be stamped with DOT -1800 pound (124 bar) rating (minimum) and be securely mounted (i.e. no tie-wraps or hose clamps.)

Ok guys need some more advice. So it turns out the scatter shield he has requires a smaller fly wheel and clutch. He has everything he can sell me but he wants $900 for the hole works. (tildon scatter sheild with bolt on throw out bearing, Mcleod twin disc clutch (good for 800hp), Mcleod Aluminum flywheel. The problem is with everything I still need to buy to get my car going I dont really have the cash to shell out for everything. Being that there is no way I am going to run without a scatter shield I wanted to see if you guys think I could limp by on what I have till I can get the cash together. When I take it to the track I will be launching it on Drag radials.

you do not want an aluminum flywheel.I doubt you want a dual disc.
How come Vin. Do you think that clutch ans a stock flywheel will fit the bill?
JMHO the alumium flywheel and dual disc clutch would NOT be street friendly if it is anything like what we used to run in our late model dirt car. Think of it like putting a 4,000 stall in a auto, not impossible but not very street practical either. Again just my opinion anyone feel free to correct me if I am wrong
Im using a single diaphram 11 inch clutch and a semi light weight steel flywheel(all sfi approved parts). Not sure how light of flywheel you need/want? the good stuff is very good quality,nothing has broken yet. I dont drag race but I have done some comparative driving with some of my friends
Do you guys think I will be ok with the clutch that I have for what I want to do with the car?
You could probably get away with a jobber clutch with the saggy
That Saginaw 4 speed wont hold up!!!!
Make sure the saginaw uses the same scattershield as the richmond? and if you plan to make power,consider a TKO 5 speed,brand new retail they are 2200. extra gear,,extra strong,,different scattershield
I never, ever told a racer that he had to jump through a hoop unless I could show it to him in black and white in the current NHRA Rulebook and I taught all my students to do the same. I suggested that they imagine a Judge watching over their shoulder as they teched the car and talked to the owner/driver. I remember teching the Budweiser King and suggesting to Kim that the diaper needed padding in it to absorb oil. She got right in my face and said "show me". I opened the book and read the verbage to her. We were pretty fair friends after that, because she realized that I was a professional the same as she was. Here's the verbage from Top Fuel rules....
"A nonflammable, oilabsorbent liner mandatory inside of retention device"
Word would get back to me pretty quickly if one of the tech guys gave a racer a hard time and a word to the Race Director would have the offending tech inspector squared away or gone. I ran the Tech Dept. as a business, just like any other business where you have a provider and a customer. You must be polite with the racers, yet there is a firmness that is necessary, based on the fact that you know what you're talking about and are able to convey the necessities of the situation to the racers in a non-confrontational manner. It goes the other way also; many times in the tech line when I have seen an exceptional way that the racer fabricated something on the car or the way he installed the seat belts or rollbar or cage "by the book", I would call all the other tech inspectors over to look at the car to see how "textbook" actually looks on a real car. Ask me if the owner/builder would grin ear to ear.
I held a National Silver-certified SFI technical inspection license, a National NHRA chassis certification license and National NHRA Fuel Check license.....all the credentials I could hold without being employed full-time by NHRA. I taught many new fellows to be good technical inspectors, with a dozen or so of them achieving the credentials that I held.
If you're having trouble with tech inspectors at a certain track, then the first thing you want to do is to get together with some of the other racers who have had problems at that track and elect a spokesman who will represent all the racers involved. Have that person contact the Race Director or Track Owner/Operator and explain what's going on and the fact that he/she is representing X number of racers who also have had trouble in the tech line at that track. If the Operator realizes that there is a problem in the operation of the tech line, then hopefully He/She will have enough business sense to correct the problem. If the Operator turns a deaf ear, then threatening a boycott of the track would be the next tactic I would employ. If you start gettin' into their pocketbook, they'll usually listen.
If you feel that you need some help from the big guns, please do not hesitate to contact either or both, the NHRA Division Tech Director or the NHRA Division Director. That's what these guys do, work as a liason to keep everything "jake" for the racers out there.
Jonathan Adams, Division Director
818 39th Ave. S.W., Suite A3
Puyallup, WA 98373
fax 253-446-6683
email firstname.lastname@example.com
Dave Schaffel, tech consultant
fax 306-477-7707

Monday and Friday, 7-9 PM, PT
Another way around this getting hassled is to do an extended technical inspection on the car. Call Jonathan and ask where you can get an "ETI". Sometimes the Division Director will hold a chassis certification seminar at a particular track and there would be plenty of qualified technical inspectors available to tech your car and issue an ETI that is sort of like a pass for the following year. You just pull up to the tech line, show your ETI to the first available tech inspector and he signs you off to go race. That is unless he is a complete DDICK, in which case he will have to show his authority by re-teching your car. Some people just do not belong in a position of authority.
You racers will not be out of line to ask to see the tech inspector's SFI card. The first entry level is a bronze tech inspector, then a silver tech inspector, then a gold (you must work for NHRA full-time to get a gold card). If your inspector isn't certified at all and is trying to tell you something that you know is wrong, ask to speak to a silver-certified inspector. If that fails, ask to speak to the Race Director or Track operator.

Learn what's trending across POPSUGAR. View in slideshow Summer offers the optimal time to get your beauty routine in tip-top shape. But with all the things that can cause acne, frizzy strands, and less-than-stellar nails, who can keep track of them all? Well, we've rounded up all the culprits for your common beauty headaches and given you the simple swaps to improve them, along with some pro tips to incorporate into your daily routine. Just keep clicking for your ultimate guide to hair, nail, and makeup perfection. Source: Shutterstock Shop Brands John Frieda · Kiehl's · Oscar Blandi · Carol's Daughter · L'Oreal Acne Culprit: Your Makeup Brushes Aren't Clean On your list of things to do, washing makeup brushes probably ranks somewhere between watching an Alf marathon and cleaning the litter box. If you want a clear complexion, though, you've got to do it. Otherwise, bacteria grows — and dirty brushes will just transfer that bacteria to your face. Related: Learn how to clean your brushes. Source: Flickr user becca.peterson26 Acne Culprit: It's in Your Genes Did your dad have acne? Do your siblings? Lucky for you, it just might run in the family. A 2002 British study suggests that 81 percent of acne can be attributed to genetic factors rather than environmental ones. File this one under "not your fault." Source: Flickr user Pink Sherbet Photography Acne Culprit: You Work Out Sweat itself doesn't cause breakouts, but it can mix with oils in your pores — and that can lead to acne. Friction can also aggravate acne, so wear loose-fitting clothing made of natural fabrics; synthetic fabrics such as Lycra and nylon can rub against skin, trap sweat, and clog pores. When showering after a workout, use a body wash with salicylic acid to keep pores clean. Related: What to pack in a gym bag. Source: Flickr user Ernst Moeksis Acne Culprit: It's That Time of the Month Hormones called androgens overstimulate the skin's oil glands, which frequently leads to a breakout around menstruation. (If you break out along your jawline, this is likely the culprit.) Some women find relief by going on oral contraceptives — aka the pill — but you'll need to discuss the benefits and risks with your doctor. Source: Flickr user GorillaSushi Acne Culprit: You're Picking at Your Face You know that whitehead that's just begging to be popped? Leave it alone. Same with blackheads, nodules, and everything else. Picking at your skin introduces more germs, increases the chances of scarring, and can increase inflammation — which means more breakouts. Source: Flickr user Helga Weber Acne Culprit: You're Allergic to Laundry Detergent Especially for people with sensitive skin, laundry detergent and dryer sheets can irritate the skin. Some people even develop contact dermatitis and mistake it for acne. Swap your usual soap for fragrance-free detergent, skip the dryer sheets, and this could clear things up. Source: Flickr user Invernodreaming Acne Culprit: It's the Weather First things first: that idea that a little sunshine helps acne? It's a myth. But weather changes can affect your skin. Changing climates and seasonal shifts might be the cause of your breakout. If you've recently moved or have taken a vacation, see an esthetician or dermatologist. Usually they'll be able to help your skin get back to normal. Source: Flickr user katiaromanova Acne Culprit: You Need More Sleep Ever think your acne is getting worse overnight? It could be. Not sleeping enough inflicts stress on the body, which raises levels of cortisol, the so-called "stress hormone." In turn, cortisol creates breakouts. Aim for eight hours of sleep per night, even if you have to wear a sleep mask or earplugs to catch those Zs. Related: The five worst sleep mistakes. Source: Flickr user katiaromanova Acne Culprit: You're Pregnant For some women, a baby on the way means acne in the here and now. Progesterone increases during pregnancy, which can affect the skin's oil levels. While several safe treatment options exist, others such as Accutane and tetracycline can cause birth defects. To be safe, talk with your obstetrician before embarking on a new skin care routine. Related: What's safe (and not) for pregnant women. Source: Flickr user Mahalie Acne Culprit: You're Traveling Along with lousy peanuts and security lines, frequent fliers have one more thing to look forward to: acne. The air in planes is very dry, which can trick your skin into producing even more oil. If you have to be up in the air, pack a noncomedogenic moisturizer in your carry-on. Related: How to look better after a flight. Source: Flickr user Panoramas Acne Culprit: You're on Drugs! OK, we're talking prescriptions here, but it's worth looking at your Rx. Is acne listed as a side effect? Well, there you go. Source: Flickr user Psyberartist Acne Culprit: You're a Bundle of Nerves Ever notice how your skin seems to break out right before a big event like a job interview? It's not a coincidence. Simply put, stress is terrible for your body — and that includes your skin. Stress raises levels of cortisol, which increases inflammation and causes oil glands to go into overdrive. While completely avoiding stress is impossible, you can improve your skin (and overall well-being) by meditating, relaxing, spending time with animals, or doing anything else that calms you. Related: Why helping others lowers stress. Source: Flickr user Ruben Chase Acne Culprit: Those Sheets Are Dirty Not to sound like your mom, but . . . when was the last time you changed your sheets? Bed linens can harbor bacteria, which are more than happy to multiply on your face. Change your pillowcases at least twice a week. That goes for towels, too. Source: Flickr user slightly everything Acne Culprit: You're a Chatty Cathy Breaking out on your cheeks? Your phone could be the culprit. Pressing a phone to your skin can lead to a breakout. Once a week, clean your phone with an alcohol wipe — and if you've been on the phone for more than 15 minutes, it might not be a bad idea to cleanse your face, too. Source: Flickr user Furryscaly Acne Culprit: Your Diet Is Breaking You Out Want to change your skin? Change your diet. Eliminating dairy, caffeine, peanuts, seaweed, sugar, and soy can lead to clearer skin. Swap almond milk for cow milk, bid adieu to brie, and choose water over soda. Good-for-your-skin foods include salmon, dark leafy greens like kale, and antioxidant-rich green tea. Give it a month and see what happens. After all, you are what you eat. Related: The best (and worst) foods for your skin. Source: Flickr user marimbajlamesa Acne Culprit: Products Are Clogging Your Pores Comedogenic ingredients build up in pores, and unfortunately, they're in plenty of beauty products. Looking for products with "noncomedogenic" labels is a good place to start, but because there's no regulated standard, you'll need to compare a product's ingredients to the comedogenic list. Source: Flickr user qmnonic Acne Culprit: You're Washing Too Much — or Not Enough Cleansing your face of sebum, makeup, and dirt is important. Some acne sufferers, however, believe that washing more frequently will lead to better skin. Not so! Cleansing in the morning and evening is all that's necessary. Any more than that, and you could irritate or dry out your skin. Source: Flickr user SCA Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget Acne Culprit: It's Your Toothpaste If you break out around the corners of your mouth, your toothpaste is the likely culprit. Esthetician Kimberly Yap Tan of Skin Salvation recommends Kiss My Face's all-natural variety to her clients. And that old tip about using toothpaste to heal a pimple? It's a myth. Source: Flickr user Jonasb Acne Culprit: You Go to Bed With Makeup on We know, we know — you're tired. But hitting the hay without washing your face is a surefire way to trigger a breakout. If you're too exhausted to do a full skin care routine, get the worst of it off with a cleansing wipe. Source: Flickr user linh.ngan Acne Culprit: You're Not Using Effective Treatments Unfortunately, cleansing your face isn't enough to make acne flee. To battle pimples, you'll need ammunition in the form of over-the-counter or prescription treatments. Benzoyl peroxide kills the bacteria that causes acne, so it's highly effective as a preventative measure. Likewise, salicylic acid can keep pores from clogging. When that's not enough, a dermatologist can offer help. Oral and topical antibiotics, topical retinoid creams, and chemical peels can all make a difference. Source: Flickr user shawncampbell Acne Culprit: You're Not Giving It Enough Time Are you all "hurry up please, it's time" with your complexion? Slow down, little jaguar. Miracles don't happen overnight, so if you expect your skin to clear up in days, you'll be disappointed. Depending on your age, it may take up to three months for your skin cells to turn over and reveal new skin. Be consistent with your skin care regimen and be patient. Source: Flickr user emma.kate Skin Culprit: You're Using Scalding Water Image Source: Shutterstock A steaming shower or bath may be relaxing, but using hot water every day can actually dry out skin. Do yourself (and your complexion) a favor; turn the valves to a more tepid temperature while bathing. Skin Culprit: You Don't . . . You Know Image Source: Shutterstock The endorphins that come with having sex (or even fantasizing) help increase the amount of collagen — aka the stuff that gives skin its plumpness elasticity — produced. Maybe you should read Fifty Shades of Grey after all. Skin Culprit: You're a Product Junkie Image Source: Shutterstock It can take weeks for any new product to do its best work. In addition, constantly switching regimens can cause your skin to misbehave. So give your products a fair chance to do their thing, and be cautious when incorporating new ones. Skin Culprit: You Overindulge Image Source: Shutterstock Just say "no, thanks" to that extra cocktail before bed. Alcohol dehydrates the skin, puffs up the face, and interrupts your beauty sleep. Smoking is also a complexion wrecker, as it speeds up signs of aging by decreasing your blood flow. Skin Culprit: You Exfoliate With Salt Image Source: Shutterstock Did you know that coarse salt has been used to remove tattoos? And as you might deduct, jagged edges aren't the best choice for your facial scrubs. Look for gentle bamboo or sugar exfoliators over rougher-textured apricot and salt scrubs. Skin Culprit: You Love Sweets Image Source: Shutterstock Put down that chocolate bar, and sidestep wrinkles. Excess sugar can break down the collagen that contributes to skin's elasticity, and it turns out candy isn't your only sugar culprit. Watch out for carbohydrates that quickly convert into sugar (like potatoes, pasta, and bread). Reach for foods high in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamin C instead. Skin Culprit: You Don't Work Out Image Source: Shutterstock A few hours at the gym a week can do wonders for your complexion. Exercise increases blood flow, giving your skin a glow from within. Sweating also helps your body release toxins. Just make sure to cleanse before and after workouts to prevent acne from rearing its ugly head. Skin Culprit: You Sleep on Cotton Image Source: Shutterstock There's nothing inherently wrong with sleeping on cotton, but thanks to its smooth fibers, silk is often considered to be gentler on the hair and face. Its soft fabric also helps keep moisture close to your body, keeping dehydration at bay. Besides, its cooling properties feel sensational on the skin. Skin Culprit: You Don't Wear Sunscreen Image Source: Shutterstock You've heard it countless times before, but sunscreen is a must in preventing all sorts of skin damage. Even when the weather cools, it's important to apply protection to the uncovered areas (face, neck, and hands). While your entire body requires a shot glass, your face only needs about a blueberry-sized portion. Skin Culprit: You Don't Visit a Dermatologist Image Source: Shutterstock Your parents instilled the importance of visiting the dentist and the doctor regularly, but what about the dermatologist? Even women without acne can benefit from professional help. Dermatologists can customize your regimen and reveal damage you can't see with the naked eye. Frizz Culprit: You Need a Better Blow Dryer Image Source: Shutterstock Not all blow dryers are created equal, and if you're not using the right one, then you can wind up with some serious poof. Reach for an ionic hair dryer, like Chi Home 1085 Hair Dryer ($140); these dry your hair follicles from the inside out and preserve your natural oils, reducing frizz. Macy's Blow Dryers & Irons Chi Home 1085 Hair Dryer, Ceramic $139 from Macy's Buy Now See more Macy's Blow Dryers & Irons Frizz Culprit: You Need to Condition Better Image Source: Shutterstock When your hair is overly dry, the hair cuticles fray and cause your hair to look frizzy. If your regular conditioning regimen isn't quenching your hair's thirst, then be more mindful about how you're actually conditioning. Comb the product through your hair from your ends to your scalp, and leave it in for five minutes before washing it out. Frizz Culprit: You Aren't Protecting Your Hair Image Source: Shutterstock Hot tools fry your locks' delicate hair cuticle, causing it to dry out and crack. Spraying it down with a heat protectant, like Frizz Ease Heat Defeat Protective Spray ($6), will not only guard the cuticle, but will also keep things looking smooth. John Frieda Frizz Ease Heat Defeat Protective Spray $6.99 from Ulta Buy Now See more John Frieda Hair & Scalp Treatments Frizz Culprit: You Need a Haircut Image Source: Shutterstock Sometimes, a little snip is all you need. Damaged hair frizzes, so chopping away the split ends and roughed-up bits will leave things healthier. Frizz Culprit: You Need to Improve Your Diet You are what you eat, right down to your hair. Filling up on green, leafy veggies and drinking lots of water will help improve your hair health. Source: Flickr user capsun Frizz Culprit: You Need to Treat Yourself Image Source: Shutterstock The more work you put into your hair, the less work you'll have to put forth wrangling frizz. Give yourself a conditioning hair mask one to two times a week. Kiehl's Sunflower Deep Recovery Pak ($25) is formulated for color-treated hair, but extrafuzzy strands will reap its ultrahydrating benefits. Kiehl's Sunflower Color Preserving Deep Recovery Hair Pak, 8.4 oz. $25 from Neiman Marcus Buy Now See more Kiehl's Clothes and Shoes Frizz Culprit: You Need to Go Alcohol-Free Image Source: Shutterstock Alcohol dries out your strands, and (not to sound like a broken record) dry hair is the ultimate frizz culprit. Make sure you're keeping alcohol out of your hair by choosing products that don't contain it, like Oscar Blandi's 450 Heat Protect Value Set ($23). Oscar Blandi 450 Heat Protect Value Set 1 ea $23 from Beauty.com Buy Now See more Oscar Blandi Hair Care Frizz Culprit: You're Shampooing Too Much Image Source: Shutterstock Cutting your shampooing down to every other day lets your hair's natural oils hang out for a little longer, which helps hydrate it. Substitute your shampoo with some dry conditioner on the in-between days. Bonus: comb your hair before you shampoo it to distribute the oils from root to tip, creating a barrier and protecting your hair a little bit more. Frizz Culprit: Your Water Is Too Hot Image Source: Shutterstock Sure, a nice, hot shower in the morning is one of life's simple pleasures. But the scalding water can wreak havoc on your hair and leave it super dry. Opt for a more tepid temp instead, and rinse your hair with cold water to cut down on frizz. Frizz Culprit: You're a Fan of the Towel Turban Image Source: Shutterstock "Cotton towel turbans are healthy-hair killers," celebrity hairstylist Mark Townsend says. In fact, any rubdown you give your hair with a towel will rough up the cuticle, causing it to break and frizz. Instead, squeeze out excess water with your hands, and allow hair to air-dry a little before you sic your hair dryer on it. Grease Culprit: Cool Off on the Conditioner Image Source: Shutterstock Do you use conditioner on your scalp? If so, you may be inadvertently weighing down your strands. Your scalp typically produces enough sebum to hydrate, so work conditioner from just midshaft to ends instead. Grease Culprit: It Could Be Hormones Image Source: Corbis Images If you're menstruating, just started a new birth control, or are pregnant, your hair may behave differently. Just like your skin overproduces oil when your hormones go haywire, your scalp can do the same thing. Grease Culprit: Too Much Touching Image Source: Shutterstock Absentmindedly twirling your hair or running your fingers between your strands adds whatever was on those fingers into your hair. And, like brushing, it distributes oils from your scalp back down your hair, leading to serious slick. Put down your hair, and it will thank you. Grease Culprit: You Need to Clarify Image Source: Shutterstock Product buildup leads to grease, and sometimes regular shampooing isn't enough to get rid of it. Reach for a clarifying shampoo, like Carol's Daughter Rosemary Mint Clarifying Shampoo ($13), or make your own with a diluted apple cider vinegar solution. Carol's Daughter Rosemary Mint Clarifying Shampoo $13 from Ulta Buy Now See more Carol's Daughter Shampoo Grease Culprit: Lay Off the Brush Image Source: Shutterstock In order to avoid supergreasy strands, only brush as much as you need to lightly redistribute oil from scalp to ends or detangle knots. Excessive brushing can make your strands more slick than you likely want. Source: Flickr user cdedbdme Grease Culprit: You're Not Using the Right Products If your hair isn't all that dry, then you probably don't need a moisturizing shampoo, plain and simple. Using something that adds extra moisture when you don't need it will likely just add tons of grease. Source: Flickr user qmonic Grease Culprit: Too Much Shampoo Image Source: Shutterstock Cutting back on your shampooing may seem counterintuitive, but it can actually help you win the battle of the grease. This is because the scalp goes into overdrive to bring moisture to strands that are dried out due to too-frequent washing. Grease Culprit: Alcohol Overload Image Source: Shutterstock Alcohol-laden hair sprays and volumizers can suck the moisture out, eventually sending a message to your scalp to amp up sebum production. To get a boost sans oil slicks, opt for alcohol-free products, like L'Oréal Everstyle Volume Root Lifting Spray ($7). L'Oreal Volume Root Lifting Spray $6 from Walgreens Buy Now See more L'Oreal Clothes and Shoes Grease Culprit: Too Much Heat Image Source: Shutterstock While heat makes your hair behave, it can also cause overdrying, which (say it with me now) can lead to an oily scalp. Give yourself a hair vacation, and your scalp with thank you with less oil. Grease Culprit: You're Not Blow-Drying Correctly Image Source: Corbis Images If you're blow-drying your hair and it's sweeping across your face, then your strands can actually absorb some of the oil on your forehead. Make sure to dry your hair off your head to avoid an oil slick. A dry shampoo can also be used as a preventative measure for stopping grease in its well-oiled tracks. Hair Culprit: You Brush Your Hair Wet Image Source: Shutterstock Ever been a victim of mysterious breakage? Maybe your brush is the culprit. Hair is at its weakest when wet, so reach for a less abrasive wide-tooth comb to detangle in the shower. Your fingers are also a good tool to use. Hair Culprit: You Rely on Hot Tools Image Source: Shutterstock It's time to break your dependence on heat styling. Get a wash-and-go cut or set your wet hair before bedtime, two styles that can be created without added hot air. And if you do bust out the heated tools, then be sure to apply a heat protectant and use the lowest-possible temperature setting. Hair Culprit: You Wash Every Day Image Source: Shutterstock Overcleansing can dry out your hair and scalp, causing a host of hair problems. If your hair tends to get greasy fast, then try shampooing just the roots every other time. Also avoid products with sodium lauryl sulfate, which can strip your strands. Hair Culprit: You Fear the Scissors Image Source: Shutterstock Split ends can actually hamper your growth and leave you with unnecessary tangling. So instead of skipping hair trims, thinking you're helping your hair grow longer, plan a trip to the salon every two to three months (or whatever your stylist recommends) for maintenance. Hair Culprit: You Skip Conditioner Image Source: Shutterstock The conditioning step is one of the easiest ways to add moisture back into your hair. Avoid all-in-one products, though, as shampoo is meant to clarify, while conditioner is all about hydration. In addition, treat yourself to a deep conditioner about once a week, as needed.

Not only does nail-biting (aka onychophagia) hinder growth, but also, it can facilitate the spread of infections and harm your teeth. Especially avoid ripping off hangnails with your mouth; soften the skin with moisturizer, and clip carefully instead. Nail Culprit: You Skip Cuticle Care Image Source: Shutterstock Hydrating your nail bed is crucial for achieving long, shiny nails. Moisturize the cuticle with oil and lotion often. Also when you visit the salon, skip cuticle cutting and opt for a gentle push-back instead. Nail Culprit: You Use a Harsh Remover Image Source: Shutterstock Not only is acetone intensely scented, but it can also dry out your nails (especially if you soak). Try a soy or nonacetone brand as an alternative, like Priti NYC Soy Remover ($11). It may take longer to get the polish off, but your nails will thank you for it. Priti NYC Soy Remover $11 from pritinyc.com Buy Now Nail Culprit: You Need Nutrients Image Source: Shutterstock Nails are composed of keratin (like hair), not bone. So while calcium is still great for your nails, you should reach for foods high in iron, protein, and zinc to grow strong talons. Eggs, legumes, and supplements like biotin can help you reach your lengthy nail goals. Nail Culprit: You Overwork Your Tips Image Source: Shutterstock Filing and buffing can leave you with jagged, peeling ends if you do it the wrong way. Use a fine-grit emery board to shape your nails, sweeping in one direction on each side for the smoothest finish. Choose a shape that is most like your nail bed for the most natural look, as well. And while buffing gives you a smooth surface, restrict this ritual to about once a month to avoid wearing down your nails. For more ways to get better nails, click here. Pro Tip: Hair Image Source: IMAXTREE / Davide Gallizio/IMAXTREE.COM If you have a finer hair type, then stay away from a cut filled with layers. Instead, ask for a graduated style. "A little bit of graduation is good because it helps to add thickness, whereas layering takes the thickness out," celebrity stylist Ben Skervin explains. Pro Tip: Hair Image Source: IMAXTREE / IMAXTREE.COM "Most of the time women don't rinse shampoos and conditioners very well, so hair is [left] heavy and not shiny enough," L'Oréal hair colorist Christophe Robin explains. To avoid this, he suggests applying five drops of vinegar (mixed with cold water in a bowl) into the hair and scalp after shampooing, conditioning, and rinsing. Pro Tip: Makeup Image Source: IMAXTREE / Davide Gallizio/IMAXTREE.COM Powders can work great if you know how to use them. "Try applying your powder with a brush instead of a powder puff or sponge," recommends makeup artist Adam Breuchaud. "This will allow you to set your makeup with a lighter dusting of product." Pro Tip: Makeup Image Source: IMAXTREE / Ivan Lattuada/IMAXTREE.COM MAC senior artist Gina Bettelli's biggest tip for doing your own cat eyeliner is to have two mirrors: your bathroom mirror and a smaller hand mirror. "This way you can look down into the smaller mirror when you're drawing on the liner and double-check the balance and symmetry by looking into a bathroom mirror from a distance." Pro Tip: Skin Image Source: IMAXTREE / Antonello Trio "If you have sun damage and hyperpigmentation, you'll want to apply an antioxidant serum that will lighten spots and fight free radicals," celebrity facialist Kate Somerville says.

Educational Aide Exemption
The Educational Aide Exemption was created by the Texas Legislature to provide a tuition and mandatory fees (other than special course fees) exemption for students enrolled in classes leading to teacher certification with an ultimate goal of reducing the teacher shortage in Texas.

currently be employed with an ISD in some capacity
complete the FAFSA form
have a financial need
and meet SPC satisfactory academic progress requirements.
If students do not show a financial need according to the FAFSA form, students may submit their current year tax return in an attempt to qualify by the Adjusted Gross Income method. In order to obtain an application, please log onto the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board web-site at http://www.collegefortexans.com.In order to receive funding, the student should submit his or her FAFSA and Educational Aide Exemption Application to the Financial Aid Office for processing.
A student needs to apply every year. There are separate applications for fall/spring and for summer. A separate application is required for the summer term since it is only funded upon the availability of funds. Spring awards are made once the roster, mailed from the Coordinating Board in November, is received back from the school district verifying the certified aide's/substitute teacher's spring employment.

Lillian & Ross
June 1
Simi Valley, California
Q & A with the Bride & Groom:
1. What was the one thing about your venue that made you know it was the one?
When we started looking at venues, we really didn't know what we wanted. We knew we wanted an outdoor reception but wanted to be mindful of the comfort of our guests. When we got to Lost Canyons, we knew it was perfect for us. We both grew up watching (and loving) shows like "Little House on the Prairie" and "Bonanza." Both shows had been filmed on the property and brought us right back to our childhood fantasies of running around like a cowboy/pioneer. The hills were absolutely gorgeous and made it feel like we were tucked away in the country. Even though it felt like we were secluded, we were still close enough to our ceremony site and hotels for our guests.
2. Which three details from your wedding were your favorites?
1. Our six ring bearers and two flower girls, all of whom are nieces and nephews. We loved having our family and friends be part of our wedding. The ring bearers all wore khakis and navy blazers with bowties and cowboy boots. The flower girls had custom-made tutu dresses with cowboy boots as well!
2. We had bins of sunglasses at the French doors leading out to the reception with a note to "Take a pair and enjoy the sunset." It was fun to see all guests, from toddlers to our grandparents, wearing the sunglasses and rocking out on the dance floor.
3. Lillian: When we met in law school, I bribed Ross to come over for a study break by saying I had made Andes Mint Chocolate Cookies (my roommates actually made them and left me home to study while they went out). He didn't find out I conned him into thinking I was such a great baker until years after we started dating. At the wedding, each guest had an Andes Mint Chocolate Cookie at their table setting. Ross and our mutual best friend from law school explained the relevance of the cookies during dinner. Everyone had a good laugh and shared in our "sweet beginning."
3. Give us the one moment in your wedding day you can't stop thinking about.
Ross: Right when the doors opened and Lillian walked down the aisle, the light poured in from the church doors behind her. It was the happiest moment of my life.

Hi I moved to Thornton, CO back in July and I am looking to meet some fellow hunters out here. I am from Maryland and have been hunting geese and river/puddle ducks for years with my Dad. I do not have a boat or decoys, but I can call and I have a 1 year yellow lab for retrieving our birds! This year will be his first hunting trip and his first retrieve. I would love to watch him work this season! He is well trained and close to getting his Junior title. Before this duck season, I would also like to do some dove hunting as well if interested. I am willing to travel for the hunting location.
I am a safe hunter. I don't shoot over dogs, or drink and hunt, and I always keep my gun pointed in a safe direction. I will need to work on identifying the different ducks that are out here. Maryland commonly had Black duck, mallard, buffle head, mergenser, and wood duck.
Thanks, and lets put the black cloud to good use this season!

Hi, I am newly (well, 6 months now) qualified CELTA teacher and I cannot find employment anywhere.
I don't have a degree, I am however British so therefore an EU national so I have been concentrating on finding employment in Europe where my not having a degree will not create problems regarding work visas.
I have had a couple of interviews but I was not offered the jobs these were for. All the jobs in Europe I see advertised on websites very clearly ask for experience in the field.
I surely cannot be the only person in this situation, how on earth am I supposed to get started in TEFL?

A Canadian friend is himself Portugese and an importer of wines from his home country, and he has opened many a fine Portugese white so I had high hopes for this 2008 Casa Santos Lima 'Eximius Branco' whose 2007 I'm pretty sure I had and liked. This bottle? Not so much. From the Estremadura region and made from some or all of (the label divulges these as regional possibilities but is noncommital about what's actually in THIS bottling) Fernilo Pires, Vital and Moscatel, it's dry, savory and highly acidic--blind, I'd have guessed it to be an Italian Vernaccia, a wine I usually find too much of all those things to be attractive and engaging. The brusque entry skips over an underfruited midpalate and dovetails into a bitter finish. Okay with food, but lousy as a sipper. Cost: $10ish.
Excellent label, though:

1967 gto suspension
I have a 1967 pontiac gto with the original coil springs all the way around and when I have 4 people riding in the car and go over a bump then the drive shaft (I think its the drive shaft) hits the body. what do i need to do to fix this?
If everything is in order, the only thing to hit when you bottom out will be the bump stops on the frame above the rear axle. Usually replacement exhaust pipes don't go high enough over the axle and almost always will be hit by the rearend, and I'd bet this is what you are hearing.
The soft springing is common on the goats, and we all have to do some work to carry people in the rear seat - not to mention that the cars were lower in the back than the front even when new.
If you only needed the rear up about an inch, there's an easy solution. You just get a large 3" washer and bolt it to the top of the center portion of the spring mount, and use a 2" by 1/2" bushing on top of the washer so the spring won't slip off the washer. Run a Grade-8 bolt through the new assembly through the hole and back it up with a 1.5" washer on the bottom and you're set to go. Tough to explain, but basically you are duplicating what the original spring mount looks like, but bolting it to the top of the spring mount. This is enough to get by with kids in the rear seat, but still not enough for adults.
Next fix is simply going to air bags in the rear coil springs. Very little pressure is needed. No more than about 20 pounds will raise and stiffen the rear up enough for 2 adults in the rear seat. I like the air bags better than air shocks because you can buy high performance shocks and have good handling and normal ride when the air bags are lowered to a very low pressure when they aren't needed. You can also adjust the air bags separately to handle traction problems if you drag race.

By Chris Harris
Robin van Persie has "unfinished business" in the Champions League, according to Arsène Wenger.
The Arsenal captain has had his moments in Europe's premier club competition, including a fine goal last season against Barcelona at Emirates Stadium. But Van Persie's red card in the decisive leg of that tie - when Arsenal were in the driving seat - was a notable low point.
The player and his manager left the Nou Camp under a cloud last March. Ahead of the first leg against AC Milan on Wednesday, Wenger warned that Van Persie wants to make amends.
"Yes, I believe that [game at Barcelona] was hugely frustrating," he said. "I believe as well when he was sent off that he didn't deserve to be.
"It was also a big frustration as he wasn't prepared to play that game - everybody said he could not play because of his knee problem. I decided very late to play him. He had to dig deep as well maybe to play the game. But this year he is in a much better condition."
This is Van Persie's first season as skipper and Wenger believes he has thrived in the role - alongside vice-captain Thomas Vermaelen.
"Robin has grown into a great, great player, a great leader," said Wenger. "Thomas is vice-captain so we are bit under the Dutch influence. Before it was French, and English.
"Robin has taken his role very seriously and has become not only a great player but a great leader for the team and credit to him for that."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

I'm currently researching into becoming an English language teacher and I must say it's a confusing field! After spending several days reading up on the different type of qualifications available I've come to the conclusion that the CELTA is the most widely recognised qualification for someone new to the world of TEFLing. Great, except CELTA is also far more expensive than some of the other courses. However, if you're going to do something do it right so I intend on pursuing this qualification.
Right now I'm in college and I'll finish in June, however graduation will not occur until late September or early October. What I'm wondering is:
Most schools I've read about require a degree for me to teach there. Do I have to wait until I've actually received the paper certificate of my degree or is it possible to start earlier even though I don't officially graduate until October.
Secondly, and most importantly, what's the current jobs market for an inexperienced TEFL teacher?
The CELTA course costs a lot of money, and if I can't get a job with that would be a tremendous waste of nearly €1500. I'm not getting into this to make my fortune (I'd make much more money pursuing my current field of study) and I don't harbour any illusions of sitting on a sunny beach sipping cocktails between classes, but I really don't want to waste my time training for an area which is being hammered hard by the global recession.
Part of me feels tempted by these companies such as i to i which promise guaranteed employment and a much less expensive course, however I also know if something seems too good to be true it probably is which is why I look at them with a lot of scepticism.
But anyway, enough of my ramblings, I would love to hear from some of you experienced folk in the TEFL market, hopefully to soothe my fears!

Pleasant Grove • The Davis baseball team had put itself in position to score the biggest comeback of the season before Pleasant Grove had to go and ruin everything.
The Vikings scored six runs in the bottom of the sixth inning to pull away for a 15-8 win on Thursday afternoon.
"I was pleased with the way we swung the bat today. We consistently made contact and things dropped our way because we kept hitting it hard," said Pleasant Grove coach Darin Henry. "We just stayed inside the baseball and hit line drives, and that worked for us today."
Pleasant Grove led by just a run going into the bottom of the sixth but then erupted for six runs to put the game away.
Brody Blackhurst started of the sixth with a single for the Vikings. McKay Lewis was hit then hit by a pitch.
Davis had a hand in helping the inning continue. Pleasant Grove's Zach Peterson attempted to bunt the runners over, but Davis made a throwing error trying to get Peterson at first, which allowed a run to score and the runners to advance.
The Vikings tacked on five more runs to put the game out of reach.
"We were able to put the ball in play in the sixth and put some pressure on them," said Henry.
After Davis scored a run in the first, Pleasant Grove answered with seven runs in the bottom half of the inning. McKay Lewis singled and Brandon Coombs both singled in a pair of runs and Peterson and Jade Smoot each had RBI singles to do most of the damage.
The Vikings added a run in the second and another one in the fourth, but their lead was never safe because they couldn't keep the Darts off the bases. Davis answered with a three-run home run from Zac Fuller in the second. Kody Day singled in a run in the third and Tyler Hall drove in two runs in the fourth.
Kayden Gray helped Davis continue to apply the pressure. He hit a solo home run in the fifth, his third of the season, to cut the lead to 9-8, but that's when the Davis rally fell short.
The loss dropped the Darts to 9-2 on the year while Pleasant Grove continued its impressive preseason by improving to 8-1.
Both teams will try to stay hot when region play begins next week.

Thanks Sniper69 :)
My Opinion Only...
Real Value is $225.
Current Value is $275.
These are dangerous firearms to fire .308 Commercial Spec ammo in. They are 1893 Mauser Spec Recievers.
Be Careful!!!
For $299, you can buy a Mitchell Arms Mauser in 1898 Spec. Think hard about the FR-7...
"Test you weapon in safety." We still have a few left. These sold like canteens of water in the desert.. Damn they went fast..
Were now offering two for the price of $19.95 plus shipping, taxes in appropriate states, and any other fine print charges you fail to read..
Tired of those weapons blowing up in your ex wife's face. Hot metal hitting the Hells Angel testing his weapon next to you.. Get Test A Weapon.
Shoot from the safety of your living room, watch the whole neighborhood blow up.. When the Police arrive, cut the rope and tell them you saw the kids who did it.. Little punks..
Ground shipping to states where legal, know your states laws.. Our operators are standing by, call now. Rope not included.
1-800- testits.
4th - that gave me a good laugh this morning. I needed it this morning.
For everyone on the advice about the gun, thanks. I didn't buy it, was just curious about it and its value (Besides, I'm saving my firearms budget for other things, lol. ;) ).

Bibles before beer in faith-based dorms in Alabama
Credit: The Associated Press
TROY, Ala. — Tucked in rural southeast Alabama, Troy University has opened something that's a rarity for a public college in the United States: A faith-based dorm community where daily Bible studies are common and beer drinking is strictly forbidden.
Residents live by rules that include a ban on alcohol, mandatory community service work and a minimum grade point average.
In one lobby, a wall is covered with fliers inviting students to Christian worship services and a daily prayer session, and slips of paper with Bible verses sit on the welcome desk.
While private universities with religious affiliation often impose rules in accordance with a particular faith, such living arrangements are rare at public universities, renewing a frequent debate about the separation of church and state.

Awareness | Posted by Julie Z on 02/4/2011
Awareness: "Corrective Rape"
According to a recent report by ActionAid – an international NGO – there's a rising, incredibly homophobic and violent trend amongst South Africans. In addition to waves of homophobic attacks and murders in townships like Johannesburg and Cape Town, South African lesbians are the victims of "corrective" rape.
"Corrective rape" is the practice of a heterosexual man raping a lesbian with the intent of "turning" her heterosexual. As if the act of rape weren't enough, many of these women experience after effects of contracting HIV/AIDS and lasting psychological trauma, including a rise in depression and suicide attempts.
What's even more frustrating than the occurrence of Corrective Rape is the South African government's complete unwillingness to act on behalf of the victims. South Africa's national prosecuting authority, …

Most people have their Thanksgiving menu planned and time schedule set, but just in case you would like to try something new this year, let me help you with some suggestions.
But before I do, let me wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. I hope you can be with your family and maybe even your extended family before the day is over.
Secondly, I am going to start a question and answer column if enough interest comes forth. It could include questions about cooking or food or recipes that keep failing you. I might or might not know the answer, but if I don't, I will try my best to find the answer for you. I'd like to start in January. You can email your questions to norasweat@the
newsenterprise.com or mail them to 408 W. Dixie Ave., Elizabethtown KY 42701. Be sure and put "Dash of Class" on the envelope.
Also, tune to WHAS-TV between 9 and 10 a.m. this morning. I'll be a guest with Terry Meiners and Laura Rogers, sharing about my book, "Mama and Me."
Finally, last Thursday I was a judge for Meade County Homemakers Pie Contest/Pie Social. The grand champion pie, Kentucky Nut Pie, also won best crust and best filling. A Coconut Cream Pie won with best meringue. Following the judging, there was an old-fashioned pie social. The Coconut Cream and Kentucky Nut Pie both brought $110 bids.
I have those recipes for you plus French Silk Pie, a new pie for us at the Sweat family Thanksgiving dinner, as dessert suggestions to add to your already crowded Thanksgiving menu.
Nora Sweat, author of "Mama and Me," is a native of Hardin County and a retired home economics/family and consumer science teacher. She can be reached at norasweat@ thenewsenterprise.comor by mail at 408 W. Dixie Ave., Elizabethtown, KY 42701.
Kentucky Nut Pie
Cream butter, add sugar gradually. Add beaten eggs, syrup, salt and vanilla. Add chocolate chips, nuts and bourbon, stir well. Pour into crust. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes. Garnish with whipped cream.
French Silk Pie
Cut pastry sheet in half. Repackage and refrigerate one half for another use. On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining half into an 8-inch circle. Transfer to a 7-inch pie plate; flute edges.
Line shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450 degrees for 4 minutes. Remove foil; bake 2 minutes longer or until crust is golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
In a small saucepan, combine sugar and eggs until well blended. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 160 degrees and coats the back of a metal spoon. Remove from the heat. Stir in chocolate and vanilla until smooth. Cool to lukewarm (90 degrees), stirring occasionally.
In a small bowl, cream butter until light and fluffy. Add cooled chocolate mixture; beat on high speed for 5 minutes or until light and fluffy.
In another large bowl, beat cream until it begins to thicken. Add confectioners' sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture. Pour into crust. Chill for at least 6 hours before serving. Garnish with whipped cream and chocolate curls if desired. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 6 servings.

Coconut Cream Pie
Separate eggs; save whites for meringue. Melt margarine. Mix together sugar, salt and flour; mix with melted margarine and egg yolks; gradually stir in milk. Cook mixture until it becomes thick. Be sure to stir while cooking and cook over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and ¾ c. coconut; let cool, stirring occasionally. Pour into prebaked crust.
For meringue: Beat egg whites until stiff peaks. Gradually add a dash of salt, ¼ c. sugar, and cream of tartar. When egg whites hold the stiff peak, put on cooked pie filling and sprinkle with remaining ¼ c. of coconut. Bake in preheated oven at 325 degrees until golden.
My Favorite Pumpkin Pie

So I am now a proud owner of a MOW Jetpack. It arrived yesterday and I am extremely happy with the quality. I am going to delve into painting, and since this is my first piece I was hoping for some advice as I have never done this before. I have many threads on how to apply paint etc.. but some things I am unsure of when it comes to resin especially for the jetpack.
1.) Should I be sanding this? I know I have to take off the excess where is it molded together, but if I should sand this what should I use? grit type paper, steel wool, should I wet sand?
2.) It comes with a resin becon and stabilizer. How do these attach? glue? if so what type should I use? I do plan on replacing them with aluminum in the near future will this be an issue if glued on? How do I know acurate placement of these two items? Should I just go from a picture?
3.) Filling. If any area needs to be filled what should I use on resin? A bondo type covering or something else?
Any advice for prepping would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have a lab coming and am into waterfowl now that I have been in SE PA for a few years and now in South Jersey for work, however I grew up in north-central PA where the grouse (and some woodcock) are.
Does anybody have much success finding/flushing these birds with a lab? It'd be nice to head home for a weekend now and then when the dog is trained up and maybe get after these birds again.

DonWere those frames with starter strips?? Did you place a frame with full drawn out comb in the center of the supers?Nice video, thanks for sharing.Annette
Yes Don, I also do just starter strips with a drawn out comb in the middle. I was just curious because I could not see the starter strips in the video. That's very sweet about your wife getting you the parasol. She must have a great sense of humor as well :-D

Hey there everyone, first off I'd like to thank all the great people at BT who made this swiss army knife of tools possible! You Rock!
So here is the problem. I'm using a BT4 final live cd and Aircrack on my router. I try to inject but I cannot for the life of me get some IV's!! Here's some information about my setup and things I've tried:
* I have an Acer 4736G Laptop (dunno if that helps)
* It has an intel 5100 AGN Wifi card, that uses the iwlagn drivers in BT4
* My router is a Dlink DIR-600
* Injection test is working fine (or so it says)
* I've attempted to do arp replay attack but I got 54 ARP's after 20 mins and 130K packets sent and no deAuth packets
* I tried to the the chopchop attack from Xploitz video I saw here, but it says the fragmentation failed.
question, is my wifi card just not compatible? Or, am I doing something wrong? Any tips you'd like to suggest?
Thanks in advance to anyone who responds!

The build up to the opening day of the season is particularly exciting for me. Every year that goes by I wonder whether my passion will wane a little but at least for now I can confirm, as I approach my 37th season following the mighty Gooners, I cannot wait for it to commence!
Cologne is a mighty fine city and consequently a great location to enjoy the final aspects of our pre-season preparations.
After being lucky enough to attend the Olympic athletics last Friday night our party set off from Kent early on Saturday morning, the promise of fine weather throughout adding to the anticipation of a fine weekend ahead.
Little Legs forgetting his passport didn't get things off to the greatest of starts but once his other half had dragged herself out of bed to bring it down to the Eurotunnel the remainder of the journey proved smooth and trouble free. She wasn't best pleased though believe me!
All the fun the city could offer was enjoyed over the course of the afternoon, evening and into the early hours, and as a result a few extra hours in bed on Sunday morning were very welcome.
A few pre-match beers in the sunshine with all the usual faces proved a fine way to build up to what proved an entertaining, useful and winning end to our pre-season campaign.
Everyone looked sharp, including our trio of new signings, something that brings me nicely to my final point.
One thing I've become used to down the years is that players will come and go. As a result I don't tend to get too stressed about it, I try and avoid all the rumours and the hype and have a relatively philosophical outlook on the subject.
I don't care if we are talking about a Pele or Maradona or a lad picked off Hackney Marshes on a Sunday morning, I only want to watch and support those who want to play for the badge of the Arsenal. Am I naive? Maybe. Honest? Definitely.
That is what supporting a club is all about.
So dust down your colours, loosen up your vocal chords and get ready to get behind YOUR team on Saturday afternoon.
Come on you mighty reds.

The 3.1mm was from a company called Locker Group. Their number is 37103000. I didn't write down the part number but you can use my enquiry ref# which is ww03111104
The difference between 3.3mm and 3.1mm isn't enough to warrant the difference is price is it?

After finishing his record-setting career with a shutout of the region's top-ranked team, senior goalkeeper Ryan Arvin of the Canisius College men's soccer team collected MAAC Defensive Player of the Week honors, announced by the conference on Monday.
Arvin stopped all five shots he faced against Monmouth – the MAAC regular-season champions and top-ranked team in the NSCAA North Atlantic poll. The senior netminder's clean sheet helped lead the Griffs to a 1-0 overtime victory on Saturday, handing the Hawks their first-ever MAAC loss.
A native of Jupiter, Fla, Arvin finished the 2013 season with a 6-5-2 record and .792 save percentage. He also set a school record with a 1.08 goals against average – topping the previous record of 1.10 – while matching the program's single-season mark with four shutouts. In addition, Arvin finished first in the MAAC with 4.62 saves per game during conference matches.
In his career, Arvin posted a 1.18 goals against average, .769 save percentage and five shutouts. His 1.18 goals against average is the best in the program's record book, easily topping the previous standard of 1.43.
Arvin and the Griffs finished the 2013 campaign with a 7-9-2 overall record, placing sixth in the MAAC with 10 points during conference play. Canisius' 15 wins in the last two seasons are tied for the most in any two-year span in the program's history.

"And seeing everybody here tonight, it makes me realize that rock and roll has become respectable. What a bummer. - Ray Davies
Ray Davies accepts induction for the Kinks
"'I recommend,' and this is to the A&R Promotion and Business Affairs, 'I recommend that if this new Kinks record is not a success, that we drop the Kinks from our label, and not renew our option.' Now, this letter was sent 25 years ago, before the release of 'You Really Got Me.' I'm not comfortable at these affairs. I'm sniffing. I won't cry. But this is a very posh event, and we're all tarted up to be here tonight. And I'm looking at the picture on the wall over there of the Kinks, and we're still wearing the same band suits. We're a very thrifty band. We had to be. But when we started, I didn't really think people associated with my lyrics, 'cause I just wrote lyrics to get out - get out of the house, and get out of college, and make a living. It's true. You're laughing, Steve [?] This is true. But it wasn't long that I realized, when all these great bands came over - Martha and the Vandellas, and the Righteous Brothers, and the Beach Boys, that there was something wonderful happening, and it was communication through language. And I was brought up to see John Wayne movies and Robert Mitchum movies, and ugly Americans. But the music changed my perspective a lot, and I've learned, from being a very British person - English person - wanting to serve my empire in my own little way, to respect other cultures. And this is another culture. And seeing everybody here tonight, it makes me realize that rock and roll has become respectable. What a bummer. I hope that bands like us and the Who, who are a fine band - I remember them as a high number supporting us, and they had the craziest drummer I ever saw - but the drummer in that band - I'm not going to say much, because I'm sure there's going to be a lot said about him - I think Keith Moon changed the sound of drumming. And Shel helped a lot - Shel Tommy [?]. But I came here, and I learned that the first time we reached America - we were signed, I think, to Reprise Records at the time - and we were met from the airplane. . . Dave 16 I think, and I was about 18, (25 Dave, sorry) I was met by these men in black suits and sunglasses, and I thought, yeah. And I was very intimidated by this country, but now I've learned to admire these very strange people who eat pizzas and pump iron. I wanted to serve my country as a musician or something; I don't think it would have been possible if it hadn't have been for America. Because I think it was this country that realized that you could build a career with rock and roll, whereas in England it was just disregarded. So that's why I'm here tonight. Not for the so called respectability - because anyone who knows anything about us knows that that would be a joke, to try and say we were respectable. I do enjoy my images from the street, from a different [unintelligible], as Gram said - and I'm learning to write well, and I hope to do it for many years to come. And maybe in 25 years' time, rock and roll will become dither and shake. But until then, I want to thank everybody here, and more than anything else, I'm dressed up in this ridiculous way for my fans, who stayed with the Kinks when our records sold 25,000 copies. All right - if they need any help building the Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Mick Avery's not doing anything. He's quite good with the bricks. Thanks a lot, you know - good on you, America, and keep it going for another 25 years."

A phenomenological sequel
The study by S&W has some suspicious results. When their simple 'phenomenological thermodynamical model' (PTM) is forced by a signal with shorter time scales (high-frequency response representing the ~11-year solar cycle), it produces weaker response than if the forcing has longer time scales (or lower frequency) – as expected. But if you add a long-term trend to the former, the amplitude of the high-frequency response diminishes further (their Figure 4, reproduced above): The amplitude of the higher frequency response in their upper panel (4mm measured in the print) had diminished by ~50% in the lower panel (2mm). This is probably because the relaxation time response has been increased between the two panels and is greater than 10 in the lower panel. The presence of a trend should not affect the amplitude of the higher frequency in such a simple linear system (see my reproduction above).
Their figure 5 (below) does not correspond with the discussion in their paper (see scanned part of the text). Again, their analysis is sloppy in the estimate of change, underestimating the observed temperature change (T(obs) in Fig 5a, the total warming is stated to be ~0.8K since 1900, but the figure suggests it is greater than 0.8K) and exaggerating the solar contribution T(sol). This way, the fraction T(sol)/T(obs) gives the impression of a more sensitive response to changes in the Sun. They then proceed to use the lower T(obs) estimate for Mann & Jones (2003) for the total temperature change (claiming 0.8K, although this is too low), but taking a solar contribution estimated from the Moberg et al. (2005) temperature with more pronounced variations (the right estimated warming should exceed 1.0K – not 0.8K as they claim). Hence the fraction of solar signal to total change T(sol)/T(obs) is spuriously inflated.
But what about GHGs if the sensitivity is so high and the relaxation time is so long? We know from laws of physics and lab measurements that the CO2 levels have been increasing and that CO2 absorb infra red radiation. In fact, the Mauna Loa observations done by infra-red gas analysers measure the absorbing properties of air samples – a pure GHG effect on a microscopic scale without feedback effects. The high climate sensitivity and long time delay suggested by S&W would be scary – imagine the GHG warming that is not yet materialised and would be in the pipeline! (Lindzen who doesn't believe in the lagged response would indeed be surprised if this was the case!).
S&W propose two mechanisms which may amplify the response to solar variations: (i) GCR (here, here, here) or (ii) UV-radiation.
But S&W ignore the issue about the lack of trend in the GCR (Lockwood & Frohlich, 2007; Benestad, 2005), the fact that trends in the diurnal temperature suggest otherwise (IPCC, 2001, 2007), and that there is not a clear trend in the cloud cover. Thus, explanation (i) is not convincing.
The problem with the UV-explanation (ii) is that the stratosphere has been cooling – some of which is due to the ozone depletion. How could they have ignored that?
Finally, the paper oozes of vague but subjective and cherry-picked statements forming the impression that the climate and solar reconstructions of Mann & Jones (2003) and Lean (2000) (why not use more recent reconstructions, by the way?) respectively are less accurate than others. Apparently because these do not give the desired results.
The paper also offers some incorrect references (Kristjansson et al, 2004, do not support the notion that GCR affect the climate). Furthermore, their paper contains little physics, but is little more than a curve-fitting exercise with no cross-validation.
